Chapter 123: The changing situation

Dong Zhuo escorted the emperor Liu Bian, and King Chenliu Liu Xie returned to the palace. After seeing that his son was safe and sound, Empress Dowager He appointed Dong Zhuo as the general on the spot and took charge of the military in the world.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately thanked him and said, "I thank you for the Queen Mother's reward."

Empress Dowager He was frightened all night and saw that her son was fine, she asked everyone to leave.

The next day, Dong Zhuo entered the palace with great might. At this time, the officials had already learned about what happened last night and congratulated Dong Zhuo one by one. Dong Zhuo had already returned the favor to the officials one by one.

Just after the war yesterday, Empress Dowager He was also unintentional to the court at this time. After reading Dong Zhuo’s appointment in public, she announced her retirement.

As the saying goes, the emperor is the emperor and the minister. Dong Zhuo made great contributions to saving the emperor Liu Bian in Beimang Mountain. In addition, Yuan Shao and others just led their troops to break through the palace a few days ago. No matter what their purpose was, Liu Bian would no longer believe them. Therefore, the newly promoted Dong Zhuo became a celebrity in front of Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He.

The former He Jin mansion has now become Dong Zhuo's new home. In the Dong Mansion study, Li Ru said: "My father-in-law, our army has not yet gained a foothold in Luoyang at this time. Yuan Shao and others are tigers and wolves. You must be careful. The son-in-law has a plan that will make the people in Luoyang not know the depth of our army and be afraid of the rats, so that our army can wait for the arrival of Niu Fu's army."

Dong Zhuo asked, "What's the plan?"

Li Ru said: "Father-in-law, from today on, let the three thousand cavalrymen quietly leave the city at night, and then enter Luoyang during the day the next day. For several consecutive days, Yuan Shao and others will think that our reinforcements have arrived and dare not act rashly."

Then Dong Zhuo followed his son-in-law Li Ru's plan and asked his cavalry to leave the city at night every day. On the second day, he rushed into Luoyang with a swagger. After several consecutive days, Yuan Shao and others thought that it was Dong Zhuo's army, and they did not dare to move for a while.

A few days later, under Liu Bian's intentional alienation and Dong Zhuo deliberately seized power, all the eight schools in Xiyuan were under Dong Zhuo's command. Regardless of whether Yuan Shao wanted to do so or not, he was working under Dong Zhuo. At this time, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fucai led 50,000 horse and infantry troops to Luoyang. When Yuan Shao found out, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing.

A few days later, Shuofang County, Shuofang City, and the county magistrate's mansion.

Yang Fan took two pieces of information that were only a few days apart and smiled bitterly: "He Suigao is really stupid. The old saying goes, wealth can only last for three generations, but he can only last for a few days."

Guo Jia said: "Liangzhou's troops were frequently mobilized, and Dong Zhuo was invited by He Jin to lead his troops into Luoyang."

Xi Zhong said: "Bingzhou troops were also frequently mobilized. Ding Yuan seemed to have received some instructions? He didn't know where he wanted to go."

At this time, Jia Xu walked in from outside and said, "Yuan Shao invited various prefectures and counties to lead troops into the capital to kill eunuchs. Now Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan have responded to the order."

Yang Fan tapped the desk gently with his fingers, and then asked, "I want to recover Wuyuan County within one month, is it possible?"

Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Xi Zhong. After seeing Xi Zhong nodding at him, he said, "Lord, our army in Wuyuan is bound to win, but one month is too hasty."

Yang Fan said firmly: "No, I will take down Wuyuan within a month. Ding Yuan will die when he goes here. Bingzhou is mine. I don't want others to get involved."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Xun Yu asked, "Master, why are you so sure?"

Yang Fan analyzed: "Ding Yuan cannot use people. Lu Bu's courage is unparalleled in the world. He actually let him be the master of the throne. It is conceivable that Lu Bu will help him sincerely? Besides, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Xiliang Iron Cavalry are the few elites of my great Han Dynasty. Ding Yuan had Lu Bu helping him, and Dong Zhuo would definitely not take him. As long as there were counselors who made plans to discord Lu Bu and Ding Yuan, the Bingzhou army would collapse in an instant. By then, Dong Zhuo would dominate the emperor and command the princes."

Jia Xu said: "Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's adopted son, how could he rebel against him?"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Lu Bu has the courage to be brave. Although Ding Yuan accepted him as his adopted son, he only let him take charge of the military power. He would only hand over the military power to Lu Bu before leading the army to the expedition. If it were you, Jia Wenhe, what would you do?"

Jia Xu was stunned and said, "I have the talent to lead troops, but you don't need me. Instead, you let me do civil service. When you go to war, you use me to lead troops, and then take back the military power. Since you don't trust me, I'll just find another way."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's it, but why didn't Lu Bu leave? There is nothing else, and the identity of Ding Yuan's adopted son restricts him."

Xun Yu said in confusion: "Since Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's adopted son, he should not be able to fight against Ding Yuan."

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "I have dealt with Dong Zhuo, that guy, too. This guy treats his subordinates very well. He usually hosts banquets and rewards, so the generals return to his heart. Lu Bu is brave. After seeing this, he will definitely try every means to win over Lu Bu, the magic weapon and BMW, and lead the army. How dare you ask which warrior can reject this temptation? Besides, Lu Bu has long been resentful to Ding Yuan, and Ding Yuan has taken Bingzhou's family to send it to Dong Zhuo thousands of miles away."

Xun Yu felt that this was completely Yang Fan’s own guess, and immediately said, “I still think Lu Bu will not rebel, at most he will leave Ding Yuan. If he kills his father, the Han area will not have a foothold in Lu Bu?”

Jia Xu said: "Xu felt that the lord's words were reasonable. If Lu Bu wanted to surrender to Dong Zhuo, he needed to be promoted. The Bingzhou Army was the foundation of Lu Bu's foothold in the Liangzhou Army, and he would not have expected it."

Xun Yu still didn't believe Yang Fan and Jia Xu's analysis. After seeing this, Yang Fan smiled and said, "Wen Ruo doesn't believe it? Can we make a bet?"

Xun Yu was stunned and asked, "What are you betting on?"

Yang Fan smiled mysteriously and said, "If I lose, I can do something for Wenruo. If Wenruo loses, I will help me call your nephew to Shuofang for a job."

Xun Yu frowned and said uncertainly: "My nephew? Could it be Xun You and Xun Gongda?"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "It's this person."

Xun Yu said, "Okay, I've been betting."

Xun Yu was extremely intelligent, but he could not escape the shackles of secular etiquette. When the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, he really didn't believe that Lu Bu really dared to take the blame for killing his father and seeking honor.

At this time, Guo Jia said, "Why did Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan turn against each other?" As soon as these words came out, they immediately froze everyone there, looked left and right, and then looked at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was stunned and said that he had missed his mouth again. When he was thinking hard, he saw Xi Zhong speak out to help him smooth things over. "The mother of the young emperor Liu Bian, Empress Dowager He, has been living in the deep palace for a long time, and he must be well versed in the balance. Ding Yuan will be entrusted with important tasks when he goes to Luoyang this time. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone two fierce tigers. Over time, these two people will surely kill each other. Dong Zhuo has the help of Li Ru, and Ding Yuan will be defeated."

Yang Fan and others analyzed the situation in Luoyang in Shuofang, but they didn't know that something big was happening in Luoyang City. After Niu Fu's army arrived, Ding Yuan's army arrived. Because Luoyang had been controlled by Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army, Ding Yuan had to leave the army outside Luoyang City and bring his adopted son Lu Bu into the palace to meet the saint.

Because Dong Zhuo was extremely powerful and had more than 100,000 troops in his hands, the Grand Tutor Yuan Feng suggested to Emperor Liu Bian that Ding Yuan was appointed as the Jinwu, and the north and south armies were in charge of Dong Zhuo, so as to prevent his family from dominating the dominance.

Empress Dowager He agreed deeply, so she adopted Yuan Feng's strategy and entrust Ding Yuan as the leader of Jinwu on the spot, and commanded the two armies of the north and south. His command of 30,000 Bingzhou troops were included in the Jinwu Guards.

Ding Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately thanked the emperor for his kindness.

When Dong Zhuo learned about it, he was furious and quickly called his two sons-in-law to discuss matters. Dong Zhuo said, "The emperor appointed Ding Yuan as the Jinwu, and commanded the two armies of the north and south. At this time, his military strength reached 70,000, which is really angering me."

Li Ru smiled sinisterly when she heard this, "Since the emperor intends to guard against us, it is better for us to change to an obedient emperor."

Dong Zhuo had this plan in his mind, and he smiled and said, "I had this plan for a long time. I wanted to call all officials to discuss this matter after taking control of Luoyang, but now Ding Yuanru is stuck in his throat, so I don't know what to do?"

Li Ru smiled and said, "The two armies in the north and south have been defeated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now these two armies are just newly formed new recruits, and their commanders are also foolish people who are not familiar with the war. My father-in-law only needs to send an eloquent and eloquent person to come with a lot of money, and he will be able to convince him to come and surrender. By then, our army is close to 200,000 troops, and will he be afraid of Ding Yuan's 30,000 Bingzhou Army?"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent Li Su, the army to the military camps of the North and South armies with a lot of money. In just one day, the North and South armies changed their garrisons and joined Dong Zhuo's command.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's army was in hand, and then he held a banquet in the mansion and summoned some of the people of great importance from the court to come to the banquet.
