Chapter 336

General He Jin and his brother, General He Miao, died tragically one after another.

The eunuch group in the palace was completely wiped out.

The emperor was young and the empress dowager had lost the support of the eunuch group and relatives of the emperor.

The civil officials in the court remained silent in the face of the aggressive Xiliang troops.

What was even more angry were the people in the Yuan family.

"You are such an ungrateful idiot!" The young Yuan Shu angrily threw the wine glass in his hand. "How dare you disobey my family!"

Yuan Shao, with a calm expression, waved his hand to wipe away the wine stains on his sleeves and said, "What's the point of saying this now?"

Yuan Wei, the current head of the Yuan family of Runan, stroked his beard and said, "Don't panic. Dong Zhuo is just a tyrant in the north. He can't become a big shot."

"What should we do now?" Yuan Shu, who was impatient, shouted again, "We asked him to do something, but he refused to do it."

Yuan Wei did not respond, but looked at the calm Yuan Shao, "Benchu, you say."

"Since the dog is disobedient, just replace it."

Yuan Shao looked arrogant and said, "There are many people who want to be dogs for the Yuan family."

"good."

Yuan Wei laughed and said, "In that case, arrange for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to get Dong Zhuo out as soon as possible, remove all his official positions, and then deal with him later."

Friends who have traveled back to the end of the Han Dynasty know that having soldiers and food is the most important thing in troubled times.

But at this moment, the minds of all the outstanding people are focused on the power of the court.

The reason is simple. Since they have grasped the righteousness of the court, they can directly issue an edict to deal with it.

If you don't listen, it's treason, you can call on the world to fight against it~~~
The era of seizing military power, territory, food and other things has not yet been noticed.

Li Ru could not hide the fact that Yuan Wei visited Empress Dowager He.

He naturally knew what the Yuan family was planning.

During the military discussion, Li Ru simply proposed, "Empress Dowager He is unreliable, and Yuan Wei is the teacher of the young emperor. We are in a dangerous situation. Why don't we establish a new emperor?"

Empress Dowager He was the empress dowager who presided over state affairs and held real power.

After she lost the support of her in-laws and the eunuch group, she could only cling to the thighs of the aristocratic families.

As for the bigwigs in Luoyang who defected to Dong Zhuo, no one really looked up to them. Dong Zhuo was just a wealthy man, and no one thought he could accomplish anything. Many people even felt that it would not be long before Dong Zhuo would be driven away.

Even though Empress Dowager He knew that it was the aristocratic families who instigated her foolish brother, the general, to fight against the eunuch group, resulting in a lose-lose situation and causing the royal family to lose two major arms of support, she had no other choice.

As for the young emperor, Yuan Huai's identity as a tutor alone meant that he was doomed to fail in supporting Dong Zhuo.

"can."

Dong Zhuo understood all this, and knew that the best strategy was to establish a new emperor under his own control.

He glanced at the generals, ready to assign people to do the dirty work.

He had no choice before but to arrange his own people to do the dirty work, and the blame was naturally put on himself.

But now, he has a new choice.

"Zihou." Dong Zhuo asked gently, "Are you willing to help me?"

This guy was originally a Baibo thief. After he did the dirty work, if anything went wrong in the future, he could just put the chamber pot on his head and deal with it. It was a perfect arrangement.

"Of course I am willing."

Chen Ran smiled, stepped out of the line and bowed, "I am willing to serve the governor."

“Wahahahaha~~~”

Dong Zhuo laughed proudly, "Okay, okay, Zihou, don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly~~~"

What I want is your words.

Chen Ran responded on the spot, "Governor, I have an unwelcome request."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me about it."

"I am a country bumpkin, a coarse man." Chen Ran laughed again, "In the past, I only met country bumpkins, and never enjoyed the taste of a noble lady. I beg the governor to give the queen mother to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals in Xiliang smiled knowingly.

Dong Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, but he was full of contempt in his heart. 'I thought you were a big shot, but I didn't expect you to be just like this.'

Only Li Ru was puzzled. 'This shouldn't be the case. He doesn't seem like that kind of person.'

Who is Chen Ran?

He had experienced countless court struggles, so he could certainly see clearly the current turmoil in Luoyang City.

Although Empress Dowager He was extremely charming, her identity was more important.

The empress dowager who attends court and listens to orders!
If you grasp her, you grasp a ticket to justice!

"That's not difficult~~~" Dong Zhuo laughed and waved his hand, "In that case, you can handle it yourself. But the announcement to the outside world still needs to be dealt with."

"It's natural."

Chen Ran hadn't finished speaking yet, "I have one more request."

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly, "This person is really ignorant, and he keeps bringing up conditions."

Although Chen Ran surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he was a guest soldier and not a general under Dong Zhuo. It was like he was only called the governor of the state, not the lord.

This is the basis for making conditions.

Dong Zhuo nodded and said solemnly, "Speak."

"Please ask the governor to distribute weapons, armor, food and military supplies."

Li Ru winked at Dong Zhuo, who immediately shook his head and said, "You can't move for now, let's wait and see." The so-called wait and see means nothing to say, it's a refusal.

Food and military supplies are Dong Zhuo's means of controlling Chen Ran. How could he just give them to him like that?

Only after arriving in Luoyang and cutting off Chen Ran's logistics did Dong Zhuo dare to use him.

Chen Ran immediately showed a look of disappointment, and then said, "In this case, can the governor agree to send additional troops to a certain unit?"

Li Ru nodded calmly. Dong Zhuo glanced at him and nodded immediately, "Yes."

As long as your logistics are strangled, what good does it do even if you recruit a million troops?
If you don't have food for one day, this million-strong army will eat you~~~
In the novel, Li Ru's wisdom is absolutely online, and Dong Zhuo is not as stupid as a pig.

They have considered everything they should consider, the only thing they didn't consider is that Chen Ran is a cheater~~~
What he did above was just a test of the waters; Chen Ran's real purpose was to annex his people and horses.

The soldiers inside and outside Luoyang City are the truly bravest men in the world of the Han Dynasty!
This carefully selected field army of tens of thousands of people once wiped out a million-strong Yellow Turban army.

Chen Ran had long been jealous and wanted to swallow them up.

However, annexation must have a name, otherwise it will lead to a war.

Next, Dong Zhuo acted very quickly.

He quickly summoned the court officials and proposed to establish a new emperor in order to put an end to Yuan's conspiracy.

Naturally, the Yuan family was unwilling and immediately instructed their lackeys to oppose it.

When the two sides were arguing fiercely, Dong Zhuo planned to use force to coerce. However, he did not expect that Ding Yuan, a powerful figure attending the meeting, was accompanied by a majestic and fierce general holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji. Just a glare from him scared Dong Zhuo so much that he dared not take action.

Li Ru and others were also overwhelmed by his momentum and did not dare to take any action. They could only give up temporarily and go home.

But it is clear that the hatred has been made clear.

With the support of the aristocratic families, Ding Yuan immediately deployed his troops to fight with Dong Zhuo outside the city.

The fierce general holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji galloped across the battlefield and was invincible, making the Xiliang army unable to resist.

After gathering his troops and returning to the camp, Dong Zhuo suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a strong man under his command.

"Where is Zihou?!"

The famous stupid general He Jin wanted to kill his sister because of the eunuch group, an important helper of his sister.

The root cause lies in the Xiyuan Army.

At that time, the Han Dynasty's elite field combat groups were all under the control of He Jin and his brother He Miao.

In order to divide his military power, Emperor Ling of Han arranged for eunuchs and the sons of powerful families (Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, etc.) to recruit new troops and form the Xiyuan Army.

Chen Ran was not interested in this army.

The reason is simple, almost all of them are troops from aristocratic families.

They were originally recruited by Yuan Shao and others, and the ones in charge of the military power were Yuan Shao brothers, as well as Cao Cao, Chunyu Qiong and others who were dependent on the Yuan family. They could not be swallowed up at all.

Chen Ran’s real target was only the field armies directly under the He Jin brothers.

After the death of He Jin and his brothers, these troops were without their commander and didn't know what to do. They could only stay in the barracks and do nothing.

But without their commander, their logistical supplies were cut off, complaints arose among the army, and it became increasingly difficult to continue.

In the name of Dong Zhuo, Chen Ran went to military camps one after another to recruit and annex various tribes.

His first stop was the troops of Zhang Liao, who was directly under He Jin.

That’s right, Zhang Liao did not follow Lu Bu when he first appeared. He was from the regular army of the imperial court!
He was born in Bingzhou and was recruited by Ding Yuan. He was later sent to the court to serve under He Jin, commanding thousands of troops directly under the general.

'Meet Zhang Liao, one of the five best generals of Cao Wei, who is both wise and brave, and has outstanding abilities. He once defeated 100,000 with only 800 men, leaving Sun Quan with the good name "Sun Shiwan". He could stop children in Jiangdong from crying at night, and was a famous general under Cao Cao.'

'Note: You can modify two of the words.'

Zhang Liao, with a vigilant look on his face, looked at Chen Ran in confusion as he raised his hand and waved it in the air.

Just as I was about to ask, I felt dizzy.

When he came to his senses, he felt that the person in front of him was extremely domineering and heroic, so he immediately bowed down to him.

"Captain Zhang Liao, I am willing to serve you as a dog and horse~~~"

"Wenyuan, there's no need to be so polite." Chen Ran stepped forward and helped him up. "Do your best in the future, and I will not treat you unfairly."

"I am willing to die in the service of my lord!"

At this time, at Yuan Wei's mansion, Cao Cao, who was called to a meeting, sneezed several times in succession.

Yuan Shao, who was standing by, immediately asked with concern, "Did Meng De catch a cold?"

In ancient times, colds were serious illnesses that could be fatal.

"It doesn't matter."

Cao Cao forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, but I feel like I've lost someone important."

Yuan Shu couldn't bear to see his brother and his important subordinates being so passionate, so he immediately sneered, "If you are not feeling well, don't come. Just go home and rest."

Cao Cao smiled and said nothing, but he made another note of Yuan Shu in the little notebook in his mind.

"Yuan Gonglu, you're going to have bad luck someday!"

At this time, Cao Cao was indeed Yuan Shao's follower.

His family is a combination of an official family and a local tyrant, so naturally they cannot compare to a real aristocratic family.

The Yuan family was so powerful in various parts of Hebei that they were like local tyrants.

The Cao family's influence is only useful in their hometown.

Cao Cao’s rise to wealth and prosperity was inseparable from Yuan Shao’s financial support.

But later he became more powerful and destroyed the Yuan family.

"Alright." Yuan Wei asked everyone to sit down. "Today we will only discuss one thing, urging Ding Yuanping to destroy Dong Zhuo!"
