Chapter 298: Luo Yang's Envoy

As long as the Three Kingdoms is mentioned, there is absolutely one person that cannot be avoided, Dong Zhuo.

After the death of Emperor Lingxiao, he defeated countless competitors and became the only person with real power in Luoyang City. Get rid of those who disagree with you.

Later, he simply stopped pretending, lifted the mask of loyal ministers, and began to stay overnight in the palace. None of the concubines and princesses left by Emperor Lingxiao escaped from the clutches of the devil.

Chen Shou, who compiled the history, recorded this:

Dong Zhuo's cruelty, tyranny, cruelty, cruelty and inhumanity have never existed since the book contract.

In other words.

After occupying Luoyang, Dong Zhuo committed countless crimes.

But how could a cruel, lustful and worthless person climb from a commoner to this position.

In fact, before entering Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had always been a powerful figure on the battlefield, with a bold personality and a warm and hospitable personality——

A young man who is a hero, he traveled around the Qiang, and joined forces with all the heroes. After returning to farming in the wild, and those who are handsome and have followers, they will return with them, kill the cattle and feast with each other. The nobles and commanders were impressed by his intentions, and returned to their relatives, and got more than a thousand heads of miscellaneous animals to present to Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was a well-known chivalrous man when he was a boy, and he made friends with heroes. Even if he returned home to farm, if someone came to visit, he deliberately killed his own cattle to entertain him in order to express his hospitality.

You must know that private killing of farm cattle has been a felony in all dynasties, because farm cattle are more valuable than people!

And Dong Zhuo did this without hesitation, not only because he was bold, but also because he was very accurate in judging people. Those heroes who were entertained by him did not eat and drink for free. After returning, they immediately rewarded Dong Zhuo with thousands of times the livestock.

Frankly speaking, Boss Cao was Lu Li's first choice, and Dong Zhuo was actually his second choice.

A qualified actor will not resist playing a villain.

One-on-one eighteen was just a loss and was forced to move the capital. What would it mean if he joined Dong Zhuo's camp? You can follow Lu Bu and shake your prestige in front of the eighteen princes!

Of course, Lu Li, who has now become a high-ranking member of the Bingzhou Army, will no longer vote for others, let alone let Lu Bu rebel.

Otherwise, what is he trying to win Zhao Yun over, isn't he trying to turn the Bingzhou community into an unsinkable giant ship?

At this time, Zhang Liao, who was tasting wine, was stunned. He felt that Lu Li had been honing his martial arts in the mansion recently, and he didn't hear anything outside the window, so he didn't know the news.

Seeing Zhang Liao's silence for a long time, the straightforward Ding Qinyu asked directly: "Is it really this guy?"

The governor of Bingzhou and the pastor of Bingzhou completely overlapped in terms of power, both military and government affairs can be grasped, and although her father has the status of riding a captain with a rank higher than two thousand stones, he is definitely not as honorable as the state pastor. What is the final say?

Subconsciously, Ding Qinyu wondered if the emperor had deliberately done this to make the two tigers fight.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao didn't hold back any more, "That's right, after Liu Yu, Mu of Youzhou, Huang Wan, Mu of Yuzhou, and Liu Yan, Mu of Yizhou, Dong Zhuo became the fourth state shepherd in the world."

After saying that, he added with a calm expression: "Miss, don't worry, even if Dong Zhuo comes, he will not be able to take Ding Gong off at all. I and the state army are of one mind."

The reason why I brought this up just now is because Zhang Liao suddenly remembered this matter, and because he had been training in Hanoi for a long time, he couldn't find acquaintances to talk to, so he simply frightened the new couple, Lu Li and Ding Qinyu.

In fact, Ding Gong is not worried about this at all, even if Dong Zhuo has many soldiers and generals, he has also served as the governor of Bingzhou.

"Don't worry, this Dong Zhuo will definitely not come to take up this post." Seeing that Ding Qinyu was still flustered, Lu Li asked with a smile, "Think carefully about who were the state pastors before?"

"Clan, loyal veteran."

Ding Qinyu realized later: "Does the emperor think that Dong Zhuo is a loyal minister?"

"..."

Lu Li was speechless for a while.

No one would deny that Dong Zhuo was a capable minister, but it would be ridiculous to say that he was a loyal minister.

"It's all about ascending and descending secretly." Zhang Liao shook his head, and explained patiently: "Dong Zhuo's foundation is in Xiliang. If he came to Bingzhou, it would be nothing."

"That's right. Although Dong Zhuo is Huangfusong's deputy general, he has a large number of troops under his command. The emperor has become jealous and wants to take this opportunity to transfer him away so that Huangfusong can take over the Xiliang army."

Lu Li hit the nail on the head.

Both of them are the pillars of the Bingzhou Army, and their vision is beyond the reach of others. Since they both say so, there is no need to worry, but Ding Qinyu still has doubts in his heart: "If that guy Dong Zhuo doesn't come to take up his post, isn't that an act of rebellion?" ? It looks like conspiracy."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and stared at Lu Li with her beautiful eyes, as if to say: Don't you think about world affairs all day long? answer.

General Huangfu, who was known as the number one general in the world back then, aroused the suspicion of the emperor, and made a decree to directly cut officials and ranks, without any room for resistance, let alone Dong Zhuo.

However, this question is not difficult for Lu Li, he has his own spies and knows some important historical events.

"Nowadays the army is in turmoil, thieves are rampant, and the distance between Xiliang and Luoyang is nearly 5,000 li, so it is very inconvenient to exchange news, just delay."

If there is no accident, Dong Zhuo's answer to the son of heaven is already on the way: the minister has been in charge of the army for ten years, the soldiers are big and small, and they have known each other for a long time. .

The generals and soldiers under my command have been fighting with me for ten years. They are reluctant to leave me, and they are willing to go to Bingzhou with me to serve the country.

What can the Son of Heaven do?

Dong Zhuo's speech skills are world-class, and the subtext is: Actually, I am very willing to serve in Bingzhou, but the soldiers force me to stay. If possible, please let me lead the army to take the post.

What should the emperor do at that time, punish tens of thousands of elite frontier troops? Now, the situation in the two prefectures of Xiliang has finally eased. If the frontier army is forced to rebel and join the rebel camp, the entire north will be affected, and the consequences are unimaginable.

However, once Dong Zhuo's request is agreed, the situation will not be any better. This person is not a loyal man. If he takes Xiliang's elite to Bingzhou to take up his post, it may not take long before he will have the strength of the two states. Can you still restrain him?

In addition, Lu Li had one more sentence that he didn't say: The Son of Heaven is about to die, and will die next month.

Dong Zhuo must have heard the news, otherwise, he would not have dared to be so rebellious. Frankly speaking, at such a critical moment, it is reasonable to hold on to the military power and wait for a good opportunity!

After hearing Lu Li's analysis, Zhang Liao nodded silently: Sure enough, Ding Gong was right, Meng Ming did have a pattern of overlooking the world.

With this in mind, he let go of his senses, and after making sure that there was no one around, he said in a deep voice, "There is another good thing related to the lord."

Hearing this, Lu Li sat upright and listened attentively.

"Luo Yang came as an envoy, General He Jin said: The capital is in a state of confusion, I hope my lord will send some warriors to help him."
