On the 27th, Yuan Shao, who had occupied the South Palace, grandly ordered everyone to form troops and prepare to attack the North Palace. The eunuchs in the North Palace had no choice but to abandon the North Palace again, and took the Emperor and King Chenliu hostage to flee... So far.

So far, the eunuchs have been completely defeated, and the southern and northern palaces are bleeding like rivers.

And it was on this day that Dong Zhuo, who had been watching the scenery in Jiyang Pavilion before, hurried to Xianyang Garden in the west of Luoyang City. He had discovered that Luoyang was on fire the day before, that is, on the 26th, and then his own brother.

After Dong Min's summons, he learned that something big had happened in Luoyang, and then he hurriedly led his three thousand Xiliang soldiers to the gates of Luoyang City.

However, in Xianyang Garden a few miles outside the city, Dong Zhongying understood where he should go after a little analysis - there was no need to go into Luoyang, those who should be killed would have been killed long ago, and there wouldn't even be any leftovers to eat.

The only good thing at this time is to find the emperor.

But where is the emperor? Everyone said that the emperor was abducted from the palace, but where exactly, amid the chaos, there is no definite news.

"Zhang Rang and others must have been lucky to kidnap the emperor and King Chenliu out of the palace." In Xianyang Garden, Li Ru looked at the gloomy sky in the afternoon and said, "However, there was a bridge to the east and a bridge to the northwest at that time.

There are Dingyuan, and we are also in the southwest. There are only two roads they can take, one is to go to Hanoi via Xiaopingjin, and the other is to go out of Goushi to Nanyang or Yingchuan... It makes no sense to go to Yingchuan and Nanyang, but to Hanoi

With Zhu Gongwei, we might be able to rely on this prestigious veteran to lead Hanoi troops to counterattack. This is the only way."

"Then let's go!" Dong Zhuo, who had been sitting for a while after a day's journey, heard this and stood up holding on to his belt. "I only need five hundred cavalry to follow me to the north of Luoyang to find the emperor."

Set up the instrument stand and place the rest on site.”

"Why only five hundred cavalry?" Niu Fu next to him was puzzled.

"If there are three thousand soldiers, how can they hide from Ding Yuan in the north?" Dong Zhuo disagreed. "And for this kind of thing, the faster the better, the infantry is just a drag!"

Only then did Niu Fu wake up.

"Forget it, you don't have to go." Dong Zhuo was speechless upon seeing this. "Just stay here and let Wen You, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Hua Xiong go with me."

Niu Fu became more and more speechless.

In fact, at this time, there were more soldiers and horses around Luoyang than just Ding Yuan. At the same time, what Dong Zhuo didn't know was that Bao Xin, a party member, had led three thousand Taishan powerful crossbows day and night to the east of Luoyang city.

He and Dong Zhuo are almost inseparable. Even Zhang Liao has led more than a thousand new recruits to Wushejin and is crossing the river.

However, neither Qiao Mao nor Bao Xin, nor Ding Yuan nor Zhang Liao thought of participating in it. Only Dong Zhuo made a decisive decision and first came to the gate of Luoyang City. After knowing that the emperor and King Chen Liu were kidnapped out of Luoyang, he directly and lightly

The soldiers went to look for Yijia.

In this way, on the evening of the 27th, Dong Zhuo arrived and rushed to Xiaopingjin. After he was sure that the emperor had not arrived, he immediately set off and turned to Luoshe in the north of Beimang Mountain (where the pavilions from Xiaopingjin to Beimang Mountain are located).

Sure enough, when they arrived at Luoshe, the local pavilion chief immediately reported that two young nobles had just had a meal here and actually set out for Luoyang overnight. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and immediately led his troops southward. As expected, he was looking for them.

When the emperor and King Chenliu arrived.

By the way, Dong Zhongying is never a blind cat who meets a dead mouse... According to his method of searching, it would be strange that he can't find it!

In fact, exactly as Li Ru expected, Zhang Rang was planning to leave Xiaopingjin to Hanoi to find Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei, hoping to rely on the emperor to coerce Zhu Jun, a loyal and upright man, into their use.

However, when they reached the bank of the Yellow River, Min Gong, a subordinate sent by Wang Yun from the south of Henan Province, led dozens of people to find the emperor's ritual stand and surrounded Zhang Rang and others. Mingong was Wang Yun's subordinate, so what? He would be polite to Zhang Rang and others, and immediately take action, killing the eunuchs while asking Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and other eunuchs to release the emperor.

At this point, Zhang Rang and others were really at the end of their rope. They just kowtowed to the emperor Liu Bian, then turned around and threw themselves into the river to die... The eunuch group that lasted for more than a hundred years in the history of the Later Han Dynasty was completely destroyed.

Of course, Mingong didn't know what a great thing he had done. After seeing Zhang Rang and others dead, he just hurriedly found an open-cart used by farmers, that is, a two-wheeled carriage, which made the extremely exhausted The emperor and the brothers Chenliu Wang sat on it and sent people to push it slowly towards Luoshe.

When they got there, Liu Bian and Liu Xie had a little meal and then started on the road again. This time, because there were better horses in Luoshe and the emperor Liu Bian finally had some strength, they let the emperor ride alone. With the horse in hand, King Chenliu sat in Min Gong's arms and continued on his way.

However, except for Mingong, Dong Zhuo was still not the first top minister to arrive. Therefore, Cui Lie, who was currently at home, led a group of Luozhong officials to go north, and happened to gather the emperor in front of Dong Zhuo. At this time, he was asking questions before 's deeds.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo led five hundred cavalrymen, their horses hooves rumbled, and they headed straight forward.

It was early morning on the 28th, and the emperor, who had been frightened for several days, immediately turned pale.

"There is an order to retreat!" Cui Lie was also panicked, but he gritted his teeth and moved forward.

"Retreat?" Dong Zhuo heard Cui Lie's scolding from a distance, but he became furious. He dismounted and came over with his sword in hand. He pointed directly at Cui Lie's nose and scolded him loudly. "Aren't you ministers the ministers of the country? ?Now that the country has been put into such a state by you, how can you still have the nerve to ask me, a hero of the country, to withdraw from the army?"

Cui Lie was so embarrassed and angry that he could only bow his head and say nothing.

Dong Zhuo ignored him, but took a few steps forward, came to the emperor who was surrounded by people, and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Bingzhou."

Five hundred cavalry were standing by, Dong Zhuo was in full force, but Liu Bian was silent and unable to answer.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was so arrogant that he actually pointed at the emperor and taunted him: "Did you see, your majesty? This is what happened to you and the late emperor for trusting the eunuchs and these trash. All the hardships you suffered today are due to these people and those who died." The eunuch made it together!"

The emperor became increasingly unable to answer.

But Dong Zhuo didn't take it seriously and went to look at the young King Chenliu again. Seeing him staring at him non-stop, he took the initiative to bring his own horse, then mounted it directly and asked Mingong for it. King Chenliu...that means he wants King Chenliu to come and ride the horse in his arms.

Mingong was half shocked and half angry. He did not dare to reply, but he was also unwilling to hand over King Chenliu. There was a stalemate for a while.

Just when Dong Zhuo was impatient, the nine-year-old King Chenliu suddenly interrupted: "The Bingzhou Shepherd has a big belly. If I go there, I'm afraid there will be a crowd."

Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this, and never mentioned it again.

In this way, after the interlude, Dong Zhuo, who had gained the initiative, protected the emperor and King Chenliu, and everyone headed south, and finally arrived at Luoyang City in the morning.

At this moment, the real ruler of Luoyang is actually only one Yuan Wei, Grand Tutor Yuan. The leader of the Yuan family, who is famous for his vegetarian meals, finally lost his position due to the early death of his brother, his two nephews, and the Yuan family itself.

The tyrannical strength was pushed to the forefront of the historical stage.

When Dong Zhuo saw Yuan Wei, he dismounted respectfully and faced him. Without any hesitation, he presented the emperor and King Chenliu... Think about it, Dong Zhuo only arrived in Luoyang yesterday afternoon, and then hurriedly spent the whole night to find the emperor. He

It's nonsense to think of kidnapping the emperor!

Moreover, even if he has this idea, he doesn't have the strength and reputation to hijack the emperor now?

The Queen Mother was in the palace, and the Emperor and King Chen Liu were of course going back to the palace. Moreover, behind Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao and others each led their own troops. Even at this time, Dong Zhongying already knew that Bao Xin was also coming... All the troops inside and outside Luoyang City were worth twenty-five thousand.

There are more than 6,000 people. Even if a few thousand have died in the past few days, he still has 20,000 left. Is Dong Zhongying's 3,000 soldiers enough?

As a result, Dong Zhuo, the emperor and King Chenliu who had been robbed by the Yuan family, looked like a loyal minister and good general, followed Yuan Wei, calmly entered the city, and prepared to enter the palace.

However, when they came to the South Palace where the palace wall collapsed, Yuan Shu, the general of Huben Zhonglang, suddenly stepped forward, stopped Dong Zhuo, and took the latter under the palace wall to whisper:

"There is something I want Mr. Dong to help me with."

"General Hu Ben Zhonglang, please speak." Dong Zhuo didn't take it seriously.

"Ding Yuan is outside the city. His movements are difficult to determine. Moreover, he is unruly and illiterate. If he is not eliminated, he may cause trouble again." Yuan Shu said seriously. "However, he cannot be attacked without guilt. Dong Gong is a famous general of the country.

, can you annex him for our Yuan family?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't reply directly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong, there will be generous rewards afterwards." Yuan Shu advised again. "This is what my uncle meant... You also know that our Yuan family has many contacts with the general after all, and there are some things that it is difficult to come forward to do.

.”

"It's not impossible." After Dong Zhuo calculated a simple math problem in his mind, he suddenly felt his heart beating faster, so he immediately carefully reminded the other party. "But I only have three thousand soldiers and horses... Ding Yuan also has three thousand people!"

"Indeed!" Yuan Shu suddenly realized. "Then what does Mr. Dong mean? Do you want Qiao Mao or Bao Xin to help?"

"No need, as long as Lieutenant General Hu Ben will promise me something." Dong Zhuo suppressed the excitement in his heart and said seriously. "Please send me a decree from the Master's Desk, so that I can annex the remaining soldiers in Luozhong immediately...

…Don’t take too many, just search Luoyang for two to three thousand people in one day. With five thousand people, I can help Yuan Gong eradicate Ding Yuan!”

Yuan Shu thought for a moment, but then he said quickly: "There may be some trouble with the decree... Dong Gong didn't know that there was a chaos in the past few days, and seals were scattered everywhere. Today, after finally cleaning up, he found that the imperial seal was missing.

"

Dong Zhuo was stunned, and his heart became more and more frightened and doubtful.

"So, now the seals are all placed together in the Jiade Hall of Nangong... It is not easy to use them in public." Yuan Shu continued. "But there are several teams of people in the old general's department in the city who can directly lend them to Dong Gong."

Dong Zhuo held his belt and listened carefully.

"Wu Kuang had hundreds of people directly under the general's command. Wang Kuang had more than a thousand people who had just recruited troops, as well as the chariot and cavalry general He Miao. This man colluded with the eunuchs. After he was attacked and killed, thousands of his subordinates

The rest of us are also in our hands...is that okay?" Yuan Shu asked, twirling his fingers.

"Yes!" Dong Zhuo immediately replied with his chest raised. "If General Hu Ben can lend me these three troops and horses, I will be able to deal with Ding Yuan today and tomorrow!"

"If we can succeed, our Yuan family will definitely live up to Duke Dong!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed.

Dong Zhuo also burst into laughter.

In this way, on the afternoon of the 28th, when Yuan Wei hurriedly presided over the ceremony of changing the Yuan Dynasty (to Zhaoning) in Nangong, Dong Zhuo hurriedly marched with more than 2,000 soldiers given to him by Yuan and 3,000 troops from his own headquarters.

Meng Jinding's original troops, but in the evening of that day, the two sides formally fought before Meng Jin Ferry outside the city.

Facts have proved that Dong Zhuo had a high opinion of Ding Yuan.

The former governor of Bingzhou and the captain of Wumeng who came to the throne for setting fire to Mengjin before the death of He Jin were not Wumeng at all. Under the offensive of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers and Luozhong generals and the old troops of the chariot and cavalry generals

Next, his people were defeated almost overnight.

There is no way, his own military quality is not as good as Dong Zhuo's, and the quality of his army is not as good as Dong Zhuo's. The capable generals who originally belonged to him, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao are not around... In fact, it doesn't matter if they are around, because Dong Zhuo is now the Bingzhou Shepherd, and he used to do

After passing the Bingzhou governor, there were troops from Luoyang around him at this time. This annexation was obviously approved by the highest power center in Luozhong!

In other words, Dong Zhuo was annexing He's old tribe on behalf of the Yuan family!

As a result, after a battle, by the morning of the 29th, Dong Zhuo already had seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses in his hands... This number had reached about half of Luozhong's military strength.

At noon on the 29th, the news reached Luozhong, and everyone in the Yuan family was overjoyed. Yuan Wei even called Dong Min and asked him to tell his brother Dong Zhuo that the position of the Three Lords would be conferred tomorrow, so that the latter could go to Xian Yang.

Yuan waits quietly.

On the afternoon of the 29th, the Yuan family held a banquet for guests and summoned all the ministers, celebrities and heroes from all over Luozhong. While mourning General He, celebrating the success of the expedition against the eunuchs, they also discussed how to deal with the aftermath of the chaos...or in other words, reward based on merit.

.

At the same time, the recognized "characters" in the city ranged from Lu Zhi to Yuan Wei, from Yuan Shao to Cao Cao, from Xu You to Feng Ji, from Xun Yu to Xun You, from Gongsun Yue to Zhong Yao, from Guo Tu to Kuai

Yue, from Liu Biao to Bao Xin, from Wang Yun to He Yong, and even from Yuan Shu to Jia Xu... no one could have imagined what Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, who were about to take over as Sikong, would do in the early morning of the next day!

In fact, if these people can really think of it, they can only be said to be crazy!

After all, Dong Sikong was actually the most extraordinary person in the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

"Brother, are you crazy?" The summer rain came at a moment's notice, and amidst the lightning and thunder, Dong Min, who was following Dong Zhuo on foot and marching somewhere in the north of Luoyang City, was stunned. "Abolition... What are you going to abolish?

No, why should we abolish it?!"
