The Collection of The End

——AD 187——

Luoyang Ximen.

"Hahaha, Luoyang City." Dong Zhuo stood on the city gate tower and looked at this giant city from a distance, which was slightly damaged but still revealed its prosperity. He said mockingly: "You want to keep me in Liangzhou? But now, I am here."

Before officially entering the capital of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo briefly reviewed the past.

Back then, he was still a simple young man who wanted to use his own skills to contribute to the court in order to be promoted and to honor his ancestors.

Just because he became the commander of the Northwest Rangers, responded to the call of the frontier army, and had good relations with the moderate foreigners, the court turned a blind eye to his achievements many times, deliberately suppressed him, passed it on to others, and even used some ridiculous little tricks to attack the Liangzhou Army. To carry out differentiation, Dong Zhuo really wanted to grab the collar of the person who made these plans and ask, where did they get the confidence that he would accept the situation? Just rely on the "loyalty to the emperor and the establishment of the country" preached by those "great Confucianists"?

If the imperial court had always rewarded him based on his merits instead of suppressing him in advance based on some suspicion, then even if those guys really deployed heavy troops at the pass from Liangzhou to Guanzhong to act as a warning, Dong Zhuo would not agree with them. Calculate.

But it is a pity that Dong Zhongying has still developed his power to this point despite the constant suppression by the court and being on guard against evil hands. Then, those guys who think they are superior and can do whatever they want will have to pay the price.

Ha, of course, those were definitely not the current emperor's ideas, because now he himself has fallen victim to this method, and has been sleeping without knowing what strange things he ate.

Nowadays, everyone thinks that Dong Zhuo was angry at the different treatment and wanted to enter the palace to kill the emperor during the chaos in Luoyang, and then do Wang Mang's act again, but how could he be so stupid?

As long as the person sitting in that position is not named Liu, those guys who are watching from the other side will have a hundred reasons to start an attack. Even if they grab a controllable "Han system clan" to succeed to the throne, they will still have fifty reasons left. .

Excluding the emperor himself who could not choose and his preferred second prince Liu Xie, only the eldest prince Liu Bian, who was supported by the queen, was left.

In the words of Jia Xu, this is a strategy that kills three birds with one stone.

First of all, although He Jin was defeated in the war and was controlled by an unknown faction of courtiers at this time, he still had many relatives left behind, and he could easily recruit them after he promoted Liu Bian to the throne and expressed his attitude.

Secondly, the fact that he instigated some of the "Diao Chan" for his own use may have been noticed by interested people. Then, taking over the power of his relatives at this time will be considered to be a premeditated plan by him, the power of his relatives and the queen, and the voice of opposition will be Much lower.

Thirdly, if those people investigate deeply, they will also find that the queen's brother, He Miao, the supervisor of Chang'an, once easily gave up control of Chang'an. This will directly make Dong Zhuo's control of other counties he occupied along the way justifiable.

In this way, the nature of the Liangzhou Army's entry into Beijing changed from "irrelevant military forces entering Beijing to seize power" to "reinforcements summoned as reinforcements from relatives." At this time, Dong Zhuo could be said to have few excuses for raising troops to attack him. Not much.

Finally, if any strategist is shrewd enough to see through this, he can also reveal: "Establish a prince at will, kill the opponents, then establish another prince, and then kill another group of opponents, so as to eliminate all opposition." To interfere with such a crazy plan, since this plan came from Lu Bu, no one would doubt it.

Aren't sons-in-law and such just used to take the blame for their father-in-law?

However, whether this plan can succeed depends on a "divination" in this noisy place.

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and listened to the commotion coming from Luoyang City.

【Chuan, arrive, offer, emperor, then, divide, three, country. 】

……What does it mean?

————

Luoyang,

The barracks in the west of the city.

"Come here! Prepare your horses! Send an order to the whole army! March to the West Garden! Control the markets along the way! No one is allowed to leave!"

After giving the order loudly, Lu Bu began to spin around and chatter.

"Damn it, what a mistake. No one here can come up with an idea...according to my father-in-law's plan, not a single prince will be left behind. If one of them is rescued..."

Since the stable was a little far away, although the groom had gone to fetch him as soon as possible, Lu Bu couldn't wait any longer. After turning around twice more, he jumped directly into the air and rolled up a vertical tornado of red and black lightning towards the palace. "go.

Gao Shun Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong Zhang Ke, who rushed over after receiving the order, were stunned for a moment.

"Do you still want to carry out the order?" Zhang Ke looked blankly at the direction Lu Bu rolled over.

Although Lu Bu did not deliberately destroy it, after the thunder tornado passed through, most of the houses along the way were destroyed. Because Lu Bu's appearance and "unparalleled" were so distinctive, everyone knew that he belonged to the Liangzhou Army. If the Liangzhou Army According to the previous order to control the markets along the way, it is very likely that they will not be able to capture even a stronghold. The person whose house was destroyed, no matter what his identity, will definitely use various means to cause trouble for them.

After Zhang Ke asked this question, his eyes turned directly to Gao Shun. More than 80% of the other soldiers present also did the same. As for the remaining 20%, their eyes stayed on Hua Xiong for a moment, waiting for him to reveal "Look" What am I doing?" After the stupid expression, all the attention was focused on Gao Shun.

There is no way, Gao Shun is the general who has accompanied Lu Bu for the longest time on the battlefield, and is also the actual commander of the "trapped camp". Because the nominal commander Lu Bu often kills on impulse, he can only command the heavy infantry that cannot keep up. force.

As for the 20% who went to see Hua Xiong, they were a group of people with supreme strength. After all, Hua Xiong was the most capable of all Lu Bu's subordinates. If IQ was aside, he could indeed defeat Gao Shun easily, but people can put aside IQ? No, so he can't defeat Gao Shun.

In addition, although Zhang Liao has grown rapidly, he is still just a newly crowned baby at this time. Even if he gives orders, no one will listen.

"Avoid Master Fengxian's advance route, advance to the north and east of the city at the same time, and control the markets along the way." Gao Shun pondered for a while, and gave an order that was somewhat different from Lu Bu: "Wen Yuan and I led the infantry to the north, Hua Xiong and Zhang Ke are leading the cavalry to the east and speeding up as much as possible. We cannot let others interfere with Lord Fengxian's battle with the Sword Master."

Knowing clearly that there are enemies in the north and east, there is no problem with this order, and the selection of candidates also takes into account the possibility of facing the "Taiping Road" and "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", so the generals present heard it No objection was expressed.

However, some people still objected.

"Yo yo yo, this can't work, General Gao Shun. If you do this, won't all your previous plans be wasted?" A slightly frivolous man's voice sounded from outside the hospital.

"Who is coming!"

————

The person who came was a man in his thirties, dressed as a scribe, wearing a blue and purple robe, with slender eyebrows, a shrewd face, a pair of mustaches on his upper lip, and three goat beards on his lower chin. He was holding a A roll of broad bamboo slips.

"My name is Chen Gong, with the courtesy name Gongtai~" The man stepped into the tent where the generals were discussing their affairs and said, "It's——"

"Cao Cao's spy." The voice of a girl who was very familiar to everyone present responded.

At this time, the generals in the tent discovered that the man did not come in by himself, but was escorted in by the little girl Lu Lingqi holding a shield.

Although it was a bit strange to use a shield to "escort" him, it seemed that the man who called himself Chen Gong couldn't withstand a slap from the shield, let alone being hit with the edge of the shield.

"I am not..."

"He came from the east of the city riding a donkey." Dong Bai also walked into the tent and added.

What about his donkey? The generals present seemed to want to ask questions, but seemed to feel that there was no need to ask.

"Although I came from Cao Mengde's place, I'm not a spy." Chen Gong probably felt that he couldn't reason with the little girl, so he turned to Gao Shun and explained: "I heard that Cao Mengde was sweeping Yanzhou, and I just wanted to find out about my old friend. .”

"Oh? Could it be that Cao Cao killed your old friend?" Gao Shun responded: "So you are planning to surrender to our Liangzhou Army?"

"Uh, no," Chen Gong said, "I was secretly inquiring for information, but at some point a sharp knife was held to my neck. She said, 'Either stay away from my brother, or hand over my head.'"

"Does Cao Cao have a sister?" "Is Cai Zhenji?" "Then shouldn't he be slapped flat?" Several "Diao Chan" whispered in the corner.

"Go on." Gao Shun responded, not knowing how to evaluate it for a moment.

"Although I was forced to leave, the basic situation has been found out," Chen Gong said: "He deposed and arrested nearly half of the officials who were leaning towards Liu Dai in Yanzhou, and the same happened to the old friend. Looking at the situation in Luoyang at this time, only Gui Gui The army can destroy his plan, so he came here to help."

"Well..." Gao Shun thought about it after hearing this. It was one thing to issue an order that was different from the commander's, but it was another thing to accept a strange counselor and act accordingly. If this person had evil intentions...

"How do you want to help?" Zhang Liao suddenly said, "Speak out your plan and we will send people to execute it. You stay here and wait for the results. If anything goes wrong, kill Jieqi immediately."

"...Is this a good solution?" After a pause, Zhang Liao turned to ask Gao Shun uncertainly.

"Yes." Gao Shun agreed. He suddenly remembered that just before Lu Bu "flew away", he was still complaining that there was no one here who could give advice.

"Of course there is no problem!" Chen Gong said: "I have heard clearly before I leave that Zhang Jue, who is responsible for managing the logistics of the Qingzhou soldiers, and Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, will soon be alone. There is no need for a large army to be dispatched. Only two generals, Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao, are needed. With about a hundred people, we can destroy the frontline stronghold they are establishing. If we are lucky, we can capture them alive. If there is an accident, I have a plan to deal with it..."

Chen Gong was talking eloquently, and for a moment he calmed down all the generals present.

He was trying to show off a few more words when he saw Dong Bai yawning and quickly got back to business.

"Specifically, it should be like this..."
