Chapter 10 Two Great Talents
Zhang Xiu forced Chen to retreat with one move, and took a few steps back to see that Dong Huang had been controlled by Liu Cheng's subordinates. His face changed: "What is General Liu's intention? The general's move does not seem to be done by a gentleman!"
Liu Cheng clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Zhang Sima, it's too late. I don't want to be punished by His Majesty for being late for going back, so I can only make this decision. I also ask Zhang Sima to retreat aside and order his soldiers to let go, otherwise I can only let Zhang Sima watch Dong Huang's blood splash on the spot!"
"You..." The blue veins on the back of Zhang Xiu's hand holding the weapon were swelling. This was the first time he was threatened like this. Dong Huang is not an ordinary person, but Dong Zhuo's nephew. If he still wants to make a living in the Xiliang army and does not want to cause trouble for his uncle Zhang Ji, he cannot ignore Dong Huang's safety.
"Okay, I can order the soldiers to get out of here, but after you pass, Shi Zhong Dong must stay!"
Liu Cheng nodded and said, "Of course!"
Zhang Xiu stepped aside and waved and shouted, "Let it go!"
With a loud noise, the Xiliang army retreated aside and gave up the road to Zhuqueque.
Liu Cheng immediately waved his hand and pointed forward: "Go!"
Under Liu Cheng's command, the army quickly passed through the Zhuqueque Que and headed towards the Quefei Palace.
As the emperor's personal bodyguard leader, Min Gong was patrolling outside the Quefei Hall with eight armored soldiers. When he saw a large number of soldiers coming from outside the imperial city, he was shocked and hurriedly brought dozens of armored soldiers and several small civil servants in the palace to meet him.
The soldiers who were waiting to approached. When Min Gong saw that it was Liu Cheng who was leading the troops, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Cheng: "General Liu, where did you... come from?"
A small civil servant next to him said at this time: "If the subordinate guesses well, the troops brought by General Liu should be from the right school of the Xiyuan Army!"
Liu Cheng was shocked when he heard the words of the little civil servant. You must know that the matter of him and Pan Yin taking over the right school military power was extremely secret. How could this little civil servant know? He couldn't help but look at the man and asked, "Who are you? How can I know that the general brought the right school military troops in the right school in Xiyuan?"
The little civil servant bowed and said, "The lower official guards the palace and orders Xun Yu to pay homage to the general!"
"Xun Yu? I, this is a person who is known as a talented king and a master! He is now a civil servant in the palace?" Liu Cheng looked at Xun Yu with saliva. Xun Yu suddenly felt a layer of goose bumps on his body, and he couldn't help but shivered, thinking that General Liu would not be as good as Long Yang, right?
Seeing that Liu Cheng was ugly, Pan Yin quickly pulled his clothes.
Liu Cheng came to his senses, reached out to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, pulled Pan Yin and asked, "What kind of official is the arch guard?"
"It is in charge of the emperor's use of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as the money and sealing mud, etc., and is under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu!"
When Liu Cheng heard Xun Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little funny and said quickly: "Don't get me wrong. I am not as good as Long Yang, I am only interested in beauties! Hahaha... I am very interested in how Lord Xun guessed that these soldiers were the right school of the Xiyuan Army!"
Xun Yu bowed and said, "When the officials came to the office this morning, they met Chunyu Qiong on the way. He was seriously injured and was led by several soldiers all the way to his home. The battle in the palace ended last night. Why was Chunyu Qiong seriously injured? It is not difficult to speculate that he was injured while leading troops to plunder. Now all the military powers of Luoyang are commanded by the commander of the army. Even the Xiyuan Shangjun is controlled by Wang Kuang. It is not easy to seize control of a soldier. It happened that Chunyu Qiong was seriously injured at this time and had the handle of plundering the army. With the general's bravery and the imperial decree, it is not too difficult to seize the military power!"
"Papa!" Liu Cheng clapped his hands and clapped, and said with a thumbs up: "Master Xun is amazing. Just based on these two points, Liu admires it! When you have time, Liu will definitely ask Lord Xun to give some advice!"
Xun Yu hurriedly bowed: "The general praised the wrong person, dare not give advice, don't dare! The official is going to pay his respects, say goodbye, say goodbye!"
"Mr. Xun, please leave!"
Although Liu Cheng wanted to bring Xun Yu to a department for a long time at this time, time did not allow it, and he was going to report to Empress Dowager He.
At this time, another 37 or 38-year-old civil servant next to Min Gong, who had a low official position bowed to Min Gong and Liu Cheng and said, "Mr. Min, General Liu, and Zhong Yao are also going to pay the deposit. See you tomorrow, say goodbye, say goodbye!"
"What? Is this person Zhong Yao? In calligraphy, Wang Xizhi was called "Zhongwang" by his descendants, and after the establishment of Cao Wei, Zhong Yao was appointed as the Grand Marshal of Pingyang Township? This is a great talent with all-round talent in civil and military affairs!" Liu Cheng's heart caused a stir. He did not expect that he would encounter two people who were just small officials in the Han Palace, but became the most famous figure in the future. So are there other talents in the palace and the court?
"The two kings and masters are right in front of me, but I can only watch and can't get it! No, I have to find a way to win over these people around me, and I can't let Cao Aman recruit them in the future!" Liu Cheng secretly made up his mind after watching Xun Yu and Zhong Yao leave.
After calming down, Liu Cheng asked, "Mr. Min, I will take over the orders of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to take over the military power of the Right School in Xiyuan as the palace guards to protect the safety of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Lord Min can feel a little relieved. I wonder where Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are?"
Min Gong said: "Your Majesty is in Xuande Hall, and the Empress Dowager is in Deyang Hall of the North Palace!"
"Mr. Min said goodbye, I have to go and meet His Majesty and the Queen Mother!"

Dong Zhuo Mansion.
This mansion was originally the mansion of the Central Constable Zhang Rang. After Dong Zhuo led his troops into the city in the morning, he directly occupied this magnificent mansion as his residence in Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo knelt on his main seat and said to a middle-aged scholar: "Wenyou, it's good that you're here. We will act according to your plan and easily control the palace. Hahaha... It's so cool. By the way, I also recommend that you be a doctor in the palace, so that you can attend court meetings and enter and exit the palace freely, which will make it easier for us to control the emperor and the court!"
"Thank you!" Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Ru also heard that the Lord took over the City Guards easily. This move was very good. The City Guards had not many troops, but there were thousands of people. The total number of troops was more than 8,000 with our Xiliang Army. The troops were not large, but at least they were not afraid that the aristocratic family and the court should attack the Lord. However, this force was still a little weak! Now that He Miao's troops were restrained by the Xiyuan Army controlled by Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao, they could not free up their hands to deal with the Lord, but it was difficult to guarantee that they would not join forces to deal with the Lord first. Moreover, if the Lord wants to control the court, they must have enough troops to deter the ministers and scholars in the court!"
Dong Zhuo was also quite distressed, "We want to do it too, but the army of Li Jue and Guo Si and others was blocked by Huangfu Song in Mei County. I am afraid that it will not be able to come in a short period of time. We have to find another way!"
Li Ruliu thought about it and came up with a plan. He was about to offer it to Dong Zhuo, but he saw a soldier walking into the door to report: "Sir, General Zhang Ji is asking for a meeting!"
"Oh, let him come in!" Dong Zhuo was stunned, then waved his hand and ordered.
The armored soldier retreated. Zhang Ji, wearing heavy armor, was in his forties, and his face was full of wind and frost. This was caused by the long-term living in Xiliang and being blown by the wind and sand. The armor and helmets he wore were lined with fur, which was a typical barbarian style.
"The last general Zhang Ji has met the adults!"
Dong Zhuo asked, "Zhang Ji, don't you look at the soldiers, what's wrong with us when you come here to see you so late?"
Zhang Ji said with a solemn expression: "Sir, a moment ago, the new Yulin Central Army General Liu Cheng led more than 2,000 people to forcibly rush into the palace, and even fought with my nephew's Sima Zhang Xiu. At the critical moment, Liu Cheng ordered people to hold General Dong Huang hostage. Zhang Xiu couldn't bear to General Dong Huang being poisoned, so he could only order people to make way for him to lead his army into the imperial city. The last general had sent people to inquire. This army was led by Chunyu Qiong, the right school leader of the Xiyuan Army. However, this morning, Liu Cheng suddenly took over the military power with the imperial edict, and killed Chunyu Qiong for the crime of rebellion, and killed all his family. The right school soldiers were also completely controlled by him!"
