Chapter 41 This is really moving the capital!
The words are divided into two ends.
Just when the Kanto Alliance discovered something strange in Sishuiguan, Dong Zhuo had already brought some of his troops back to Luoyang City.
This time, Dong Zhuo did not bring all his troops back to Luoyang because he had already planned to give up the Luoyang area. Instead of giving up this fertile area to the princes of Guandong, it would be better to plunder it yourself, which could be used to supplement food and salary.
So Dong Zhuo sent Niu Fu out and asked him to take Guo Si, Li Jue and others to plunder Yingchuan and other places. He believed that the wealthy Yingchuan area would definitely plunder a lot of money and grain.
After Niu Fu and others left, Dong Zhuo's large army drove into Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo's return made Luoyang City, which was a little relieved, become panicked again. Some ordinary people dare not go out to go out for the streets without any trouble. Even the princes and ministers stopped drinking and singing parties without any need, and their daily movements gradually decreased.
Of course, Wang Yun is not included among these people.
As Dong Zhuo's "number one confidant", Wang Yun's status in Luoyang is extremely high. Dong Zhuo will ask about his opinions on ordinary matters, and listen to his suggestions. Therefore, Wang Yun secretly protected many loyal Chinese scholars who opposed Dong Zhuo, and some were assigned to important positions by Wang Yun and ready to attack Dong Zhuo at any time.
Of course, what Wang Yun has to do now is just preparations in advance, and he has not forgotten the strategy he discussed with Shi Sun Rui and others.
As soon as Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang, Wang Yun went to the prime minister's mansion to visit Dong Zhuo and reported what happened in Luoyang to Dong Zhuo. This made Dong Zhuo feel satisfied, and his trust in Wang Yun also increased.
"Mr. Situ is worthy of being a pillar of the country. Thank you for your hard work in the days when we are away." Dong Zhuo said to Wang Yun with a smile.
The thin and shriveled Wang Yun bent his waist with a flattering smile on his face: "Everything is for the prime minister, for the people of Luoyang, the prime minister does not need to be praised."
"Hahaha!" Dong Zhuo laughed happily, then turned to Li Ru next to him and said, "Look, if all the officials in the court serve the country and the people like Wang Situ, we don't have to fight in front and guard against villains behind."
Li Ru said it repeatedly, and expressed his admiration like Wang Yun, which made Wang Yun dare not.
After laughing, Dong Zhuo calmed down and said to Wang Yun: "Mr. Situ, the prime minister has a major event to announce to all officials when he returned to Luoyang today. Please ask Situ to inform the officials of various departments and let them go to the palace to court immediately."
"Ah?" Wang Yun was stunned, "Prime Minister, today's morning court has passed, it's almost noon now. Should I wait for tomorrow..."
Wang Yun said as he spoke, his voice became weaker because he saw Dong Zhuo's murderous eyes.
Thinking of Dong Zhuo's appearance of killing someone after disagreement, Wang Yun finally said tremblingly: "I'll do it now, I'll go now..."
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo smiled again: "Lord Situ is very capable, so I will go to the palace to wait first."
"Yes!" Wang Yun bowed and stepped down.
After Wang Yun left, Dong Zhuo asked Concubine Li to take him to the palace first.
......
Not long after, the civil and military officials in Luoyang gathered together in a daze, and everyone met one after another on the way to the palace. Everyone was wondering why Dong Zhuo asked everyone to go at this time. Could it be that something went wrong when the battle was in front of him?
Thinking of this, many people's eyes lit up.
During these days, Luoyang officials were more concerned about the war ahead than anyone else. Since the assembly of the Kanto Allied Forces, the officials in the court wished that the army would arrive in Luoyang in a moment.
But they knew that Dong Zhuo would not be defeated easily like this, so they could only stop their temper and start sending people to inquire about the news.
Then the name Pan Feng became the ears of all civil and military officials. They only knew that the general Pan Feng performed outstandingly in this fight against the thief. The first person to take down the Sishui Pass was Pan Feng, but he was later replaced by Yuan Shao, so that Sishui Pass was lost in vain.
At that time, many officials even scolded Yuan Shao for his poor employment, but they still had hope for the coalition of princes.
Later, there was news that Pan Feng had defeated Lu Bu in the battle, and Lu Bu was scolded by Dong Zhuo to return to Beijing.
This made all officials have a deeper understanding of Pan Feng. Many people privately began to praise Pan Feng for being inappropriate, and at the same time they were even more looking forward to the appearance of the Kanto Alliance Army entering Luoyang.
Some military officers in the court had even secretly mobilized their servants to prepare weapons, and waited for the coalition forces to arrive in Luoyang to wipe out Dong Zhuo.
However, this hope has come to this point.
At this time, the ministers in the court would not understand the face of the Kanto Alliance.
They were just a group of thieves like Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo came out openly and they came out secretly!
The officials who had no hope had raised some hope because of Dong Zhuo's strangeness. Perhaps it was because of the changes in the war ahead that Dong Zhuo lost his mind.
With a feeling of excitement or expectation, all the officials walked into the court one after another.
At this time, Dong Zhuo was already standing next to the emperor with red face. The emperor beside him flinched and only dared to look at the officials coming in one after another below, but did not dare to look at Dong Zhuo.
Seeing that all the officials arrived, Dong Zhuo laughed three times first, refreshing the officials who bowed their heads and thoughts.
After everyone was focused, Dong Zhuo said loudly: "Everyone, the Kanto thief army was beaten to pieces by us on the front line. If they hadn't run fast, they might have been wiped out by us, hahaha!"
As he said that, Dong Zhuo laughed again, but the officials below lowered their heads lowered and curled their lips secretly.
Do you really treat the Kanto Alliance as the concubines in the harem? Don’t think we have no ears. Although the Kanto Alliance has not made any achievements in recent months, your Xiliang Army under your command has achieved more defeats and fewer defeats. What are your faces to brag about here?
Of course, all officials dare not say these words, otherwise Dong Zhuo must have had a white knife into the red knife.
Dong Zhuo laughed a few times, and saw that none of the officials below responded to him, he could only stop unhappily.
"The Kanto Alliance is no longer in a state of chaos, but now a nursery rhyme has appeared in Luoyang City, which really makes me feel uneasy." After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he signaled Li Ru, who was beside him to tell everyone about the nursery rhyme.
