Chapter 241 One Night in Luoyang (Two)

The battle in Mengjin started, and the shock to Luoyang was even far greater than that in Chenggao, Xingyang and other places.

In contrast, there are tens of thousands of people fighting in various places, or even tens of thousands of people. Mengjin has only more than 10,000 people in total, so why does Mengjin have such an influence? The reason is very simple. From Mengjin to Luoyang, the straight line distance is no more than 30 miles, and the curve distance can be reached at most one day. Once Mengjin falls, Luoyang will be in danger.

A discerning person can clearly feel that a very strange atmosphere is permeated in Luoyang City.

Did you point fingers at the battles in Chenggao and other places earlier? It seemed that the flag was gone and there was no sound.

When the seriously injured Hua Xiong was sent back to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was shocked.

Hua Xiong can be said to be his confidant general, and he is also the first powerful general in the Liangzhou army besides Dong Qi.

Why was he seriously injured and almost lost his life?

While dispatching imperial physicians to treat Hua Xiong, Dong Zhuo urgently summoned his confidants in Luoyang to discuss various countermeasures.

Li Ru did not expect such a thing to happen, and seemed worried.

"Wen Kai was seriously injured, Meng Jin only relied on Pang Dehe's ritual, and was afraid of danger." Zhong Fu said softly.

Li Ru said, "Not necessarily, isn't it said that Anmen Captain Xu Huang is in Mengjin? I have also seen this person. He once fought with the Yellow Turbans in Wan County and is quite capable. Marquis of Zheng appreciated this person very much. I think he should be able to support him."

Zhong Fu sneered, "Anmen Captain? I don't know very well. I just heard that this person has been under Zhang Wen's command for a long time, and Zhang Wenbao reported that he was promoted to Anmen Captain. Zhang Wen died at the hands of the Grand Tutor, so it is difficult to guarantee that this person has an affair with the princes of Guandong."

This sentence sounded like a wake-up call, in Li Ru and Dong Zhuo's ears.

The two looked at each other, and Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Ying Bo said it well. Xu Huang has only met us once. Although Zhu Hou appreciated him very much, I have never heard of the two having sex for many years, so I am afraid they have two hearts."

"Then..." Li Ru seemed to be asking Dong Zhuo for his opinion.

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled coldly, "I should personally challenge me thief. Tomorrow I will lead the army to Mengjin. Wenkai, you will set off with me to serve as our military advisor General. I want to see how arrogant the thief is."

Li Ru seemed unwilling to do so and frowned and said, "That Luoyang..."

"The Luoyang side, there is no need to worry. I only brought the Bingzhou army to the expedition, and there is still Liangzhou army here to take charge, so there should be no major troubles."

Li Rudao: "But there should be no one in the court who is in charge for a day. When the emperor is young, who can take charge of the government?"

"The Grand Marshal Yang Biao and Sikong Huang Wan are all capable ministers. They can serve as assistants on behalf of the government...Shi Sun Rui is also in Luoyang, so he can help him."

To put it nicely, it is called assistance, to put it bluntly, it is surveillance.

This scholar Sun Rui was from Fufeng, Sili, and his name was Junrong. He was a young man who passed on his family business and had the ability to be well-versed in everything. He wrote a collection of essays and was quite famous among scholars. When Sun Rui first defected to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo did not trust him very much.

However, as he got along for several years, this person has given Dong Zhuo great help in all aspects and received attention from Dong Zhuo.

Now, Shi Sun Rui is appointed as the Minister of Shangshu Pushe, and is a free official.

After a long period of observation, Dong Zhuo trusted this person quite much.

When Dong Zhuo thought that with Sun Rui, he could monitor Yang Biao and others. The military power of Luoyang was in the hands of Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Zhang Ji and others. There were palace guards to support him, so there would naturally be no problem. Xu Rong and the other three were all old people from Liangzhou.

Dong Zhuo made the decision, and Luoyang immediately took action.

The Taishi personally fought, and its scale was naturally extraordinary. After the preparations of the 20,000 Bingzhou Army, it drove out of Luoyang in a mighty manner on the second day. Dong Zhuo led more than 30 generals under his command to take charge of the central army, and took Wei Yue as the vanguard of the Bingzhou Army as the vanguard, and marched towards Mengjin.

This Wei Yue was an officer promoted by Li Ru from the Bingzhou Army.

Originally, he was just a goalkeeper, but he was very good at leading troops and his martial arts were extraordinary. However, there was no shortage of generals and officials in the Bingzhou army earlier, and Wei Yue had no chance to stand out. Li Ru promoted him from the army in an extraordinary way, which made Wei Yue even more grateful.

Dong Zhuo set out, but Luoyang City was not calm.

A group of people gathered at Zhong Fu's home, each with solemn expressions.

"Donalds, now Dong's thief has left Beijing and Luoyang's troops are empty. We have been waiting for a year and have the opportunity to this day... The old tutor was imprisoned in a cage, waiting for us to rescue day and night. The princes of Guandong are also fighting bloody battles, and we should take action."

"Although Ying Bogong and Dong Zhuo left Beijing, there are still tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops in the capital. How can we act?"

The person who spoke was from the Yin Wei of the Shaofu in the court and was also a famous scholar in Luoyang.

At this time, Zhong Shao walked in from outside.

"Shen Fu is back, what's going on?"

Zhong Fu stood up and asked in a deep voice.

Zhong Shao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, the former army of Dong thieves had already passed Gucheng in the afternoon. I expect Dong thieves' central army to arrive at Gucheng in the evening to repair it. Now I am just waiting for news from Gucheng. As long as Dong thieves arrive, we will accomplish great things."

Zhong Fu laughed, laughing very happily.

He endured for more than a year and did not hesitate to bear the infamy for today's goal.

Thinking back to the beginning, he received Yuan Wei's instructions and ordered to surrender to Dong Zhuo. To be honest, Zhong Fu looked down on Dong Zhuo and never looked down on him. I remember that he met Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou because his father appreciated Dong Zhuo quite well.

Dong Zhuo, a mere good son and a despicable husband, dare to take power?

If Yuan Wei had not been pleaded hard, Zhong Fu was even unwilling to pay attention to Dong Zhuo, even if Dong Zhuo was in a high position, he would still be a despicable man.

"Yin Shaofu just asked me, what should the Liangzhou Army do?"

Zhong Fu smiled, "I would like to recommend someone to everyone, which may help you relieve your worries."

As he spoke, he smiled and said to the outsider: "Jun Rong, please come in."

I saw a scholar walking into the door, with a green shirt and a tall crown, holding a white silk folding fan, looking calm.

"Sun Rui, you..."

Someone who knew this scribe couldn't help but scream.

The person who came was Dong Zhuo who entrusted Luoyang to Sun Rui and bowed to everyone, "You guys, everything is in control."

Zhong Fu said: "Jun Rong was assassinated by the Grand Tutor when the last emperor Yongqiu was assassinated the year before yesterday, and he was ordered by the Grand Tutor to rely on Dong Zhuo to seek the current situation. Jun Rong was in charge of Nangong, and he would transfer Nangong Wei when he was in charge of the time. We would rush our troops to enter the palace, and major events would be accomplished at that time."

"The Taifu is really a magic trick!"

A general stood up and applauded, "There is a battalion of Yue cavalry under Wang Huan, and he is willing to obey the order."

But I saw the Hu Mu squad of Zhijinwu sneering, "Only one cavalry of Yueqi, there are only a thousand people, and I can control the palace? I, a general in Zhijinwu, have no soldiers in the city except for hundreds of generals, so what's the use of it?"

Yes, I am afraid of only relying on the Yueqi battalion...

But he saw the scholar Sun Rui laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have arrangements for this matter. As long as news comes from Gucheng tonight, everything will be clear. But I have a word, please think about it twice. All the great clans of Luoyang, and there are private soldiers at home. If you gather the private soldiers, there will be four or five thousand. Together with the Yue cavalry, you can occupy the palace."

Zhong Fu applauded and laughed, "Yes, as long as the emperor is in our hands, the morale of Dong thief will inevitably decline. The battle situation in Chenggao, Xingyang and other places may turn around due to our actions. At that time, the pillars of Zhongxing will be the only ones."

Are the pillars of ZTE?

This is the title of the boss!

Han Rong, the Great Honglu, slammed the table and said, "That's it. I will always be suppressed by a group of despicable husbands on our heads and acted as a blessing. I am willing to serve the private soldiers to help Ying Bo, and Jun Rong succeeded. But there is another point that Ying Bo needs to solve the problem."

"Mr. Han, please speak, I will speak."

"Are we honoring the emperor or the king?"

The rest of the people couldn't help but look at Zhongfu in shock, with questions in their eyes.

This is indeed a very important issue.

The Emperor is the current Emperor Liu Xie of Han. If he is the Emperor, then it seems a bit unreasonable.

Why? Liu Xie was the emperor of Dong Zhuoli. They respected the emperor, which was equivalent to saying that the princes of Guandong were all rebels. Well, if we do not respect the emperor, we respected the king, which means recognizing the authenticity of the imperial orthodox king Liu Bian. This can indeed cover up all the problems, but the only problem is that there is something difficult between King Chenliu and Dong Qiong.

Zhong Fu lowered his head, pondered for a moment and replied: "In fact, Dong Zhuo's abolishment and establishment was indeed an edict from the emperor, which can be said to be nothing wrong. The key is... Therefore, the old tutor thought that we should respect the king and the emperor, which is the most clever one."

Respect the king and respect the emperor?

Everyone in this room can be said to be human-like.

I soon understood the meaning. Respecting the king was to re-support Liu Bian to the throne, and respecting the emperor was also to follow the will of the late emperor. However, this act of abolishing and enacting should be completed by three dukes, rather than the despicable husband of Liangzhou. In this way, it is justified.

Shi Sun Rui listened aside, and suddenly felt a hint of sadness in his heart.

After such trouble, the dignity of the Han Dynasty would be no more left, which is a sad thing.

But what does it matter?

As long as we wait to rule, we will definitely give the great man another bright world!

Shi Sun Rui comforted himself, and the trace of sorrow in his heart disappeared immediately.

*******

That night, news came from Gucheng that was concerned and encouraging to scholars.

Dong Zhuo's army has arrived in Gucheng...

Zhong Fu and others immediately summoned their troops and Yueqi took the lead.

However, what surprised everyone was that after the Yueqi, there was still a group of people, which turned out to be Zhang Xiu, the left commander of the former Xiyuan New Army.

In the fire, Zhang Xiu was wearing military uniform and had a murderous intent on his handsome face.

Zhi Jinwu Hu's mother-ban grabbed Zhong Fu and asked strangely: "Isn't this Zhang Xiu... Dong Zhe's person? How could he help us?"

Zhong Fu glanced at Zhang Xiu in the team and laughed.

"Did Mrs. Hu forget? The former emperor established the Eighth School and tried to win over Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was originally under the command of the Dong family, but because of this incident, he alienated the Dong family. Later, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and although Zhang Xiu returned to the sect, it was rare to reuse it because of the Dong family. Now, all the Dong family members are rewarded, only Zhang Xiu... Hehe, a Jinyong Gate Marquis, with eight hundred weak soldiers under his command. How could Zhang Xiu be able to withstand it?"

Hu's mother's squad suddenly realized, "Is it also a masterpiece for Jun Rong?"

“That’s right!”
