Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 199 The Central Plains Situation 2
Li Ru has been busy admonishing Dong Zhuo these days. He doesn't want to see the Xiliang army decline like this. However, now that Dong Zhuo is in a situation, Li Ru is really powerless. They even got angry with Li Ru.

Facing the change of Dong Zhuo's temperament, Li Ru actually understood in his heart that when the allied army of 10 people attacked Dong Zhuo together, Dong Zhuo had to face a lot of pressure, even Dong Zhuo might not see hope at that time.

However, the result was beyond Dong Zhuo's expectation. He became the biggest indirect beneficiary, and the allied forces were finally defeated by himself. After Dong Zhuo experienced such great sorrow and great joy, his heart also changed.

The current Dong Zhuo is actually the emperor of Chang'an, who dares not to obey his orders, and Dong Zhuo has spent almost the first half of his life running around and looking at other people's eyes, and now he has finally realized his dream that he never dared to imagine. This change in circumstances directly led to a change in Dong Zhuo's temperament.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo is actually a person who knows how to enjoy himself. Now, so many beauties in the palace belong to Dong Zhuo. There are a few who dare to challenge him.

As a result, Dong Zhuo no longer has the heart to think about fighting for world hegemony. The current Dong Zhuo is no longer the ambitious young man 30 years ago, nor the ranger who wielded a sword.

He is old, and he doesn't have much time to waste on hard work. Instead, he feels that the most important thing now is to have fun in time.

Dong Zhuo also knew in his heart that he was able to achieve his current status entirely because he had an army in his hands. It was the Xiliang Army that made Dong Zhuo what he is today. Therefore, Dong Zhuo did not order to stop the corruption of the Xiliang Army's military discipline.

The reason why the Xiliang army is fierce is because they are from the frontier areas, and they have been brave and fierce all the year round to develop their character. In addition, the military salary cannot feed these soldiers. Of course, they have to find a way to make a fortune. To get money from the enemy, they can only work hard from the common people.

In fact, there is another more important reason why Dong Zhuo became what he is now. Dong Zhuo has no son.

Dong Zhuo has only four daughters in total, the eldest daughter died early, the second daughter married Niu Fu, the third daughter is Li Ru's main wife, as for the fourth daughter, she is younger, only 13 years old now, Dong Zhuo dotes on the youngest daughter abnormal.

However, Dong Zhuo is so powerful that he has no son, which makes Dong Zhuo unacceptable. Even if Dong Zhuo takes down such a huge foundation, who will he pass it on to?Could it be possible to pass it on to his son-in-law? Dong Zhuo asked himself that he was not so generous yet.

Originally, Dong Zhuo had a nephew who was the son of his elder brother, but this nephew was worse than Dong Zhuo, he only knew how to drink and have fun all day long, but he was tall and big, but he was as fat as a fat pig, and he was only as big as a pig. Knowing how to bully others, if it wasn't for the face of his elder brother who died long ago, Dong Zhuo would have kicked this useless nephew aside long ago.

Dong Zhuo is very satisfied with his current life. Of course he understands that Li Ru is doing it for his own good, but Li Ru doesn't understand the pain in his heart. Besides, Dong Zhuo also understands that he doesn't have many years to live. What he has to do now is to make himself I have made up for the life I haven't enjoyed in the past few decades.

It can be said that Chang'an is a hell on earth. The people are miserable. Many people want to move to Bingzhou with their families. However, Dong Zhuo also issued an order to prohibit the refugees from flocking to Bingzhou. Now, as long as Gongsun Xu wants to Yes, Dong Zhuo will think of ways to destroy it. Besides, the people have run away, so who will grow food for himself?

In addition to being licentious and shameless, Dong Zhuo sometimes did not forget to show his political talents when he was in the mood. For this reason, Dong Zhuo often issued some laws and regulations.

The laws and punishments promulgated by him are quite chaotic and unreasonable: ordinary people are often subjected to severe torture and cruel laws, while trusted families are not punished. Everything depends on Dong Zhuo's personal will.

Once, Dong Zhuo specially appointed Liu Qi, the school lieutenant of Sili, to register the so-called "unfilial sons, unfaithful ministers, unclear officials, and disobedient younger brothers" subjects. Anyone whose name is on the register should be executed and their property confiscated.Soon, the entire Chang'an area was filled with resentment and unjust prisons.

Faced with the situation in Chang'an, Li Ru felt that he was powerless. In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Ru said that he was sick and would not go to court again. It was not that he didn't care about the affairs of Chang'an, but that he couldn't manage it. Li Ru felt that he was doing his best now.

The evil deeds of Dong Zhuo Group have made many people hate, and many aristocratic families are thinking of ways to overthrow Dong Zhuo's tyranny.

Yueqi school captain Wu Fu hated Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior very much, and vowed to kill Dong Zhuo with his own hands.One day, Wu Fu came to see Dong Zhuo with a saber hidden in his body.After the conversation, Wu Fu bid farewell and left.Dong Zhuo got up and went out to see them off, patted Wu Fu's back lightly with his hands, showing an extremely cordial look.

Seeing the opportunity, Wu Fu suddenly drew out his saber and stabbed Dong Zhuo.Because of his eagerness to kill, he used too much force, so he missed the vital part.Dong Zhuo was frightened, he fought back with all his strength in a hurry, and urgently called on the guards to help him, so he was out of danger.During the struggle with the guards, Wu Fu was stabbed to death by random swords because he was outnumbered.Afterwards, Dong Zhuo scolded Wu Fu for harboring evil intentions and not being kind.

Although Wu Fu was killed, there were more and more forces opposing Dong Zhuo, and many forces had even infiltrated into the army.

The common people are miserable, and people hate Dong Zhuo very much, so there is a ballad circulating in Chang'an area. This ballad is called Qianlicao: Qianlicao, He Qingqing.Divination for ten days will not give birth.

It's hard to understand what it means at first glance. "Thousand li grass" is actually "Dong", and "Ten Ribu" is "Zhuo". This nursery rhyme is about Dong Zhuo.Both "Qianlicao" and "Ten Ribu" are interpreted from the bottom up, which is different from the usual top-down interpretation, implying that Dong Zhuo will rub the top from the bottom and use his ministers to dominate the emperor. "Qingqing" refers to an outbreak, alluding to Dong Zhuo's violent rise to power, but his rapid defeat, and the ending of "no life".

Facing the curse of the common people, Dong Zhuo not only did not repent, but even intensified his treatment of those ministers and common people who were dissatisfied with him. Under Dong Zhuo's rule in Chang'an area, undercurrents surged.

The princes of the world have faint intentions to dominate their own side, and the Yellow Turban Uprising, which was suppressed by the big man at the beginning, also took this opportunity to raise its head.

In the vicinity of Chang'an, due to the chaos of the rule of law, there are many refugees, and there are also several Yellow Turban Army active here, so a force called the Baibo Army is slowly growing.

Apart from drinking and having fun, Dong Zhuo did not forget to give Niu Fu an order to keep an eye on the Xiliang area. However, regarding these resurgent Yellow Turbans, Dong Zhuo only regarded them as a group of bandits, and Dong Zhuo didn't spend so much time on them. However, as everyone knows, these bandits have become more and more serious.

Needless to say, the Yellow Turbans on the Montenegro side have evolved into the Black Mountain Army, and are now thinking of ways to attack Jizhou. However, there is another Yellow Turban Army that is also very powerful, and now they have disturbed several states in the Central Plains.

After Zhang Jiao's death, his subordinates were divided into three. The one led by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao was wiped out by the government army long ago.

At the beginning, the government and army suppressed it tightly, so Guan Hai led his men to hide in the deep mountains and old forests for a while to avoid the limelight. Later, the world was in chaos, and the big man had no time to take care of these yellow scarves, so Guan Hai slowly walked out of the deep mountains.

Due to the incompetence of the Eastern Han government, most of the people in the world lived a life of scanty clothing and food. After Guan Hai came out of the mountain, he raised the banner of doing justice for the heavens. Under Hai's tent, within a few months, Guan Hai already had a million troops, known as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

It has to be said that Guan Hai, the number one general in the Yellow Turban Army, really didn't come out of it. He did have a skill in fighting. In addition to his excellent skills, many local princes suffered from him. For example, Liu Dai The guy was killed by Guan Hai.

It was after Liu Dai's death that Cao Cao saw hope. To a certain extent, Cao Cao might have to thank Guan Hai for coming. However, Cao Cao has no time to deal with these things now, because the Qingzhou Army is now Cao Cao's number one problem.

The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have a large number of people, strong fighting power, a certain degree of organization, and a wide range of activities. Now Cao Cao has nothing to do with them. After robbing a certain amount of food, Guan Hai pulled his troops and temporarily retreated to some small towns To rest and recuperate, when the time is right or the food and grass are insufficient, Guan Hai intends to lead his army here to borrow food from the local princes.

The Beihai side is relatively close to Qingzhou, and the prefect Kong Rong is often troubled by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. The hateful thing is that the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turbans is not weak. Moreover, there are too many Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and Kong Rong can only defend the city now. Fortunately, he now has a helper.

Wu Anguo was not Kong Rong's subordinate, so he couldn't help Kong Rong much. Moreover, Wu Anguo was sent by Kong Rong to Bingzhou to attend Liu Bian's enthronement ceremony and Gongsun Xu's wedding, so he couldn't help him either.

However, Beihai is relatively stable, because there is an emperor's uncle here. After Liu Bei came to Beihai with Kong Rong, he trained soldiers and horses, and secretly expanded his power. Kong Rong felt that Liu Bei was indeed a talent, so he felt confident and bold. Part of the army was handed over to him.

Now, in addition to helping Kong Rong manage part of the army, Liu Bei also has 2 horses under his command, but most of them are newly recruited yellow scarves. Liu Bei's current elite troops are [-] white-eared elite soldiers and less than [-] cavalry .

Even so, Liu Bei's reputation has spread throughout Beihai, and Liu Bei is usually very good at being a man. Almost everyone in Beihai area knows Liu Huangshu's benevolence and righteousness.

Now, Liu Bei feels that he has found his own stage. With Beihai, he can slowly cultivate his own power. Moreover, there are many yellow scarves in Beihai, and Liu Bei has the opportunity to expand his troops. Now Liu Bei can be said to be The spring breeze is very proud.

However, the situation in the world has indeed become more chaotic. I am afraid that the Central Plains region will inevitably be devastated by the flames of war.
