If plans change, then some things need to be prepared.

Now the allied forces of the Kwantung princes have reached Hulao Pass - in the novel, Sishui and Hulao are two passes, but in fact they are the same place. Although many major events in this world are as written in the novel, these details

It depends on the facts.

Dong Zhuo sent his general Hua Xiong to stop the offensive of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Originally, Dong Zhuo wanted to send the more important Li Jue, Guo Si and others there, but because Hua Xiong was defeated by Liu Xuan the previous time, he felt that he had lost face in front of his lord, so this time he wanted to make some meritorious deeds and redeem himself.

position in Dong Zhuo's heart.

As for Lu Bu? He took the initiative to ask for war, but Dong Zhuo didn't agree. At this time, Lu Bu was the general of the Huben army and was in charge of the Huben army. It was equivalent to monitoring the emperor nearby. The previous time the emperor asked to protect Yuan Wei, Dong Zhuo realized that Liu Xuan

The emperor who he had single-handedly helped rise to power was not so obedient, so he became even more concerned about him.

Under such circumstances, there were the princes of Guandong on the outside and veteran ministers such as Grand Tutor Yuan Wei on the inside. If Dong Zhuo was not careful and cautious, the other party might try to cooperate inside and outside.

After returning to the mansion, he called his adviser Li Ru into the inner room to discuss the matter in detail.

"Now that Yuan Shao is known as the leader of the alliance, he has led dozens of princes from the east of Guandong to attack Luoyang. If his uncle Yuan Wei unites with the old ministers in the court again, I am afraid that things will happen..."

Dong Zhuo's idea was that it would be best to eliminate one problem first. Among them, Yuan Wei was in the middle of the court and was the most feared by him. If he wanted to raise troops to Hulao to fight against the Kwantung princes, then the court must be stable.

Li Ru disagreed, but he knew very well the temper of his father-in-law, so he could only say: "Although the princes of Guandong have formed an alliance today, they will not really wholeheartedly want to live and die with me. I think as long as the tiger

Spend some money and food on the troops behind bars, and this so-called alliance will disperse."

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that what Li Ru said was very reasonable - there were dozens of princes in Guandong, how could these people be loyal ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty? If they were all loyal ministers, I am afraid they would all have launched an army as early as when he entered the capital.

I'm here to protect you.

After all this time, some people still posted the message widely and then responded individually. But Waihui realized that if he didn't respond, people would inevitably talk about him behind his back, which would be a loss to his reputation, so he led troops to deal with it.

Even those who are ambitious among them may not really be able to break the tiger prison. They have soldiers? Dong Zhuo also has a large army. When the real chapter is seen on the battlefield, who will be afraid of it?

When the outcome is hard to decide, if they gain a little benefit in the name of the imperial court, these people will probably stop. After all, their strength is based on the soldiers and horses in their hands. If they lose the soldiers and horses in their hands at Hulao Pass,

If you lose everything, can you still live in your hometown after you return?

When the heroes of Guandong come out this time, the first thing is that they each reveal that they have soldiers and horses that can be used at will. As long as they are not fools, they will definitely be wary of the heroes around them after returning - of course, they will not lack those who want to take advantage of the situation to annex others.

Ambitious people who want to expand their own strength.

In this environment, can these people risk their own lives and money?

After Dong Zhuo figured it out, he suddenly grinned: "There are so many heroes in this world, but it turns out they are just a bunch of clowns!"

While laughing, he did not try to cover up, but said loudly: "But that little emperor dares to disobey me. I want him to understand who is in charge of this court!"

After thinking for a moment, he asked Li Ru: "How are King Hongnong and the former Queen Mother He doing these days?"

When Li Ru heard this, he immediately understood what Dong Zhuo meant and echoed: "The guards often say that King Hongnong seems to have a lot of complaints against the Prime Minister..."

"After all, the emperor was supported by his true self. It is not good to abolish the emperor at this time. In this case, let's give him a warning first!" When he said this, his face was full of ferocious color: "Hong

The King of Farmers doesn’t know what’s good and what’s good, so if you keep it, it will be a disaster!”

After winking at Li Ru, the son-in-law immediately understood, bowed and left.

At this time, Liu Xuan was in his palace, listening to Xun You tell him everything he had heard at the banquet at Wang Yun's house.

Originally, Xun You didn't want the emperor to know about it, because at best it was to kill the traitor in the court, but at worst it was a group of ministers fighting for power with Dong Zhuo. No matter who won, they had nothing to do with the emperor——

The power is still in the hands of the ministers. As the emperor, it is best to sit on the high platform and be a sculpture.

As for things like governing the world, pacifying the four directions, and reviving the Han Dynasty, these tasks must naturally be done by their famous ministers who have been famous throughout the ages. In the end, the emperor can gain a reputation as someone who knows people and uses them well. What a happy situation for everyone.

But it was impossible for Liu Xuan to accept this situation. Xun Yu also saw that Liu Xuan was not the kind of emperor who could tolerate being manipulated by others. Regardless of how happy the ministers were today, after Dong Zhuo was dealt with, it is estimated that those veteran ministers

It won't end well either.

I have counted that Xun Shuang is already deeply trapped in it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get out, but I and my disciple Xun You are not completely trapped yet, and it is still too late to escape at this time.

More importantly, Xun Yu saw that few of the old ministers in the court who wanted to compete with Dong Zhuo could succeed - these people may be good at intrigues in the court, and in the Taiping years, they might really be called

Success, and the emperor is in his hands.

But now that the world is in chaos, no matter how powerful their methods are, they may not be able to withstand the attack of that sword in the end.

If Liu Xuan knew Xun Yu's judgment of those people, he would immediately raise his evaluation of Xun Yu to several levels, because Mr. Xun Wenruo's judgment has been proved to be correct in 'history'.

As for Xun You, it's not that Xun Gongda can't see the problem, but there are too few people he can count on at present, and he doesn't know Liu Xuan's character and methods, so he is not optimistic about the young emperor. In this case,

It is understandable that he would choose to be close to many court officials who are also members of the noble clan.

Now that his uncle reminded him, Xun You immediately understood that his young uncle believed that Liu Xuan was a rare wise emperor and the kind of emperor who could truly control the court and wield great power. Now he was siding with the emperor.

Although he still didn't understand a bit in his heart, he still trusted his uncle's vision, so when Liu Xuan asked, he didn't hide anything and directly told what happened today.

"So, Wang Situ is planning to cooperate with the Kwantung Allied Forces inside and outside?"

"yes!"

Liu Xuan listened with disdain for a while: "The inside should be coordinated with the outside, what should he use to support the inside? Does he expect Huangfu Yizhen's two hundred cavalry?"

Although the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government each have their own troops to protect the courtyard, how many can they add up to? I am afraid that I cannot even control a single Luoyang City. If I really want to control Luoyang City and expel Dong Zhuo's troops, I must at least control it.

There are regular garrison troops all the way around the capital, and even the city gate guards can be used to deal with them.

After hearing Liu Xuan's words, Xun You felt embarrassed. He remembered that at the banquet today, both Taiwei Yang Biao and Situ Wang Yun believed that as long as Dong Zhuo was removed, the enemy would be defeated without a fight. In addition, they used the name of the emperor to frighten Xiao Xiao.

, surely no one would dare to jump out and confront the entire imperial court.

To put it simply, it is to use righteousness to scare everyone, but Wang Yun ignored one point - righteousness is not as valuable as he thought in this age of chaos.

Liu Xuan remembered that Wang Yun had made this mistake in the original history. After killing Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu quickly quelled the chaos within Chang'an with the help of his troops, but Wang Yun thought this was because once the leader of the thief was eliminated, the enemy

The reason why the army collapsed - at that time, most of Dong Zhuo's generals were stationed outside, and they did not organize troops and horses immediately to create chaos.

After taking control of the power, he really thought that he could make the world surrender by relying on the name of dynasty's orthodoxy. He directly refuted the requests of the northwest armies for forgiveness of their crimes, which ultimately led to the northwest army's counterattack on Chang'an and regained control of the court.

He himself also ended up dead.

At that time, Wang Yun had many options - to pardon everyone's sins or to pardon some people's sins, or even let Huangfu Song, a well-known person in the Xiliang army, win over those soldiers, but Wang Yun did not choose any of them.

Maybe I thought I would be invincible if I stood for justice, but unexpectedly, the Northwest Army didn't care about you at all. Since you want my life, I will kill you first.

Someone once commented on this period, saying that Jia Xu played a very important role at this time, because it was one of his strategies that caused the complete collapse of the Han Dynasty and kicked off the struggle for hegemony among the heroes.

But if we really want to find the root cause, Wang Yun is the root cause of all this. If he changes his approach slightly, the world can be stable for a few more years.

With this impression, Liu Xuan did not have a high opinion of Wang Yun. What's more, Wang Yun's execution of Dong Zhuo was not really for any righteousness. The real reason was to fight for power.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yun wanted to do this again now. Liu Xuan didn't want him to make a fuss and completely scrap his plan. In desperation, he had no choice but to tell Xun You: "Gongda comes out of the palace and invites Wang Situ in."

When the palace comes, tell him that I have something to discuss with him!"

Liu Xuan rarely used the title "I" in his daily life. Once he did, it was equivalent to issuing an edict. Xun You bowed to receive the edict and left while the palace door was still open.

But before he could leave, Liu Xuan spoke again: "Send in the Tiger Guards Commander Lu Bu and the Yulin Commander Cao Cao together."

Xun You was shocked. He still understood that calling Cao Cao was just to let Wang Yun understand the power in the emperor's hands and not to do anything wrong. But what's the point of calling Lu Bu in?

After leaving the palace, I was thinking as I walked. When I reached the palace gate, I already understood: "Your Majesty wants to take the Huben Army under his command again?"

This reason is not difficult to imagine, but because it was so incredible, Xun You didn't think about it at first. When he thought of this, some of the scattered details were connected at once.

"Could this young emperor... really be able to make this world on the verge of fragmentation prosper again?"
