Chapter 423 The Emerald Form of the Flying Bear Army
"Grand Wei Gong's first fame was ruined by villains."

Cao Cao traveled day and night, but still failed to catch up with Zhu Jun. When he heard that Zhu Jun was defeated, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhu Huan on the side looked frustrated and asked, "Brother Meng De, what are your plans for the future?"

Cao Cao said: "Only Liu Xuande in the world can fight Xiliang's iron cavalry. Although the princes support the army, they have their own selfish intentions and refuse to return to the Han Dynasty. I intend to go to Hanoi and persuade Xuande to return to Henan and go to Luoyang first. Attacking Hangu Pass again, some unbelieving princes can still sit back and watch, once hundreds of thousands of troops move westward, how can the small Hangu Pass stop it, and with the help of the three auxiliary clans, Chang'an will collapse without attack."

Zhu Huan said: "Since Brother Meng De has made up his mind, I will also go to Yangcheng to meet my uncle."

"That's fine, Brother Xiumu, I hope we still have the chance to fight side by side."

Cao Cao said affectionately to Zhu Huan: "Say hello to Mr. Wei when I see you."

"Take care of yourself."

Cao Cao didn't know that he let go of a general in Sun Wu's camp. If history didn't change, Cao Cao would never have the opportunity to fight side by side with Zhu Huan.

Xu Rong fought left and right, and finally solved the crisis in Luoyang City. There were ten rooms and nine empty spaces around Luoyang, and only Luoyang stood alone. Dong Yue, who was worried, sent reports one after another to Chang'an. .

After the relocation of millions of people, Chang'an regained some of the popularity of the Western Han Dynasty, but this popularity came from the bones of countless people. At least hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured along the way, and many ministers also died on the way, such as the former Situ Cui Lie, of course, some people were reused by Dong Zhuo, such as the new Situ Wang Yun, the servant Sun Rui and so on.

If it weren't for the help of these people, less than one in ten of the millions of people Dong Zhuo moved to Chang'an would have reached Chang'an.

No matter how you slander Confucianism, at least the ancient Confucianists are very good at implementing the principle that the people are noble and the emperor is light.

Dong Zhuo felt at ease when he returned to his old lair in Chang'an, and asked Li Rudao, "Did Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang make any changes?"

Li Rudao: "My lord, don't worry. Ma Teng has got the promise of the lord, General Fubo, and has been working hard to lead the lord to Han Sui. There are still many Qiang tribes making trouble for Han Sui. Han Sui has been very honest so far."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Dong Zhuo was in Chang'an, and what he was most afraid of was that Han Sui and Ma Teng would sneak in. As for Qiang Hu, it was only for money, and the money he collected from Luoyang was dozens of times more than that in Chang'an and other places.

Chang'an can be repaired if it is broken, and there is no one in Chang'an who can just accommodate the millions of people he brought. If Chang'an is broken by Ma Teng and Han Sui, it will be a disaster.

"How is the situation in Kanto?"

Xiliang was fine, so Dong Zhuo had the heart to pay attention to Kanto.

Li Rudao: "The situation in Luoyang is not good. The connection between Luoyang and Guanzhong has been cut off by the Lucheng Army. Fortunately, Liu Bei has returned to the army and merged with the state. Otherwise, Luoyang may have to give up."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Don't provoke Liu Bei, try to appease him, send an envoy, Wen You, how do you think to appease him?"

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Adding an official to a noble, and there are beautiful women."

Dong Zhuo frowned: "Will he accept it?"

Li Rudao: "Liu Bei is a descended clan. His highest official position is no higher than Zhijinwu. It's not that he doesn't want high-ranking officials, but Lingdi doesn't want them. How can he control Bingzhou without high-ranking officials?"

"Isn't he already the governor of Bingzhou?"

Dong Zhuo asked back.

Li Rudao: "Not enough. Fame is very important sometimes. My lord can grant him Bingzhou Mu, Jinyang Marquis, and Du Liao General's Blessing Festival."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback: "In this way, wouldn't he be able to justifiably separate and merge the state?"

Li Rudao: "If the lord doesn't add a title, will he stop separatist and merge the state?"

Dong Zhuo shook his head, and Li Ru continued: "Since you can't control it, give him a title. One is to tell the people of the world that those who respect the Han family like the lord will do good things. Second, isn't it strange that Liu Bei suddenly stopped fighting with the lord? The world Don’t people doubt? Then Liu Bei became the target of public criticism in a blink of an eye. The princes of Hebei decided that everyone should be on guard against Liu Bei listening to the imperial court’s order and attacking himself. ?”

Dong Zhuo nodded, then frowned: "What if he doesn't accept it?"

Li Ru hummed: "Liu Bian is dead, and the Emperor Ling only has his majesty's son today. If Liu Bei does not follow the order, he will not respect the Han family. If he does not respect the Han family, his reputation of benevolence will be ruined, and he will be self-reliant. And self-determination is up to the people of the world.”

"good."

Without Liu Bei's confidant, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed: "Who can be envoy?"

"Taiwei Ma Rixun."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Ma Rizun is an important minister of the three dynasties!"

Li Rudao: "In order to make Liu Bei bow his head, Ru has another plan."

Dong Zhuoxi said, "Let's listen."

Li Rudao: "Someone heard that Liu Bei and Cai Yong had intended to get married a long time ago, and Liu Bei has never married a regular wife for this reason. I heard that Cai Yong's eldest daughter has reached the age of Ji, so it is better to let His Majesty issue a decree to grant marriage. , Ha ha! The relationship between Cai Yong and Liu Bei will definitely break down."

"Wonderful!"

Dong Zhuo applauded with high fives, then hesitated after he finished the praise: "But, Miss Cai is already engaged?"

Dong Zhuo was lustful, didn't he know that Cai Yong had a woman with both talents and beauty, he had long wanted to accept her, but Cai Yong said that Cai Yan had a marriage with the Hedong Wei family, Dong Zhuo gave up his heart.

After all, Cai Yong was respected by him, and the Wei family of Hedong had always supported him. When he did not enter Luoyang, most of the food and grass came from the Wei family.

Li Rudao: "My lord, don't you know that my lord can reveal it to the Wei family. This is Liu Bei's forced marriage. Wouldn't the Wei family work harder for the lord? With the help of the Wei family, the east is safe, the east is safe, and the three assistants are worry-free!"

Dong Zhuo nodded, counting birds with one stone, good strategy.

Liu Bei's confidant's troubles were gone, and Dong Zhuo immediately remembered Dong Yue's plea for help: "How is Luo Yang?"

Li Rudao: "Although the situation in Luoyang is not good, after Xu Rong's conquest, Luoyang has stabilized, but if you want to keep Luoyang, you must send reinforcements out of the Kanto."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Xu Rong did a good job, and he was named Zhonglang General. In addition, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji were ordered to organize troops and prepare to go out to the Kanto."

"My lord, wait a minute."

Li Rudao.

"Is there something wrong with Wenyou?"

Dong Zhuo asked, and Li Ru said: "My lord, Guo Si and Zhang Jixin were defeated, and their troops and horses were completely lost. We should not go out lightly. It is better to send Lu Bu to the expedition. Now that Liu Bei has returned to Bingzhou, I don't think Lu Bu will feel embarrassed anymore! Let Lu Bu stand up The lord can reward him for his military exploits, otherwise he will not come out for a long time, and he may have a different heart!"

Lv Bu watched through other people's assassinations for Dong Zhuo several times, which made Dong Zhuo's vigilance disappear a lot, and he could sleep soundly, instead of looking for excitement before falling into a deep sleep. If Lv Bu left, he would really feel a little bit reluctant.However, Li Ru's last sentence reminded him that Lu Bu was not a loyal person, if he didn't win him over, he would definitely be won over by others.

"it is good."

Dong Zhuo nodded with difficulty: "Send someone to reprimand the three of them, Li and Guo, and order them to form a new army as soon as possible. At the same time, they will recruit warriors from all over the world. They want to form a more elite army than Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

Liu Bei's Lucheng Army had to deal a heavy blow to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo had always had a line of elite soldiers, but he didn't expect that the Lucheng Army was better, which also made Dong Zhuo think of building a better army.

"Here!"

Li Ru agreed that with the expansion of the Xiliang army system, Dong Zhuo should have a more elite army to intimidate all army leaders.
