Chapter 216 The Young Emperor's Secret Edict (Part [-])
"A [-] army? Master Dong brought a [-] army here in order to kill a few eunuchs. Could it be that he has a heart of disobedience?" Just as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, a man suddenly appeared from the head of the civil servants beside him, pointing at him. Shouted sharply, the voice was clearer and clearer, naturally there was an intimidating force, which made Dong Zhuo's heart tremble, and he took a step back involuntarily.

"Who is your lord?" Dong Zhuo asked with a cold light in his eyes, steadying his heels.

"This is the current head of state, Grand Master Cai Yong." An official next to him said in a low voice, which shocked Dong Zhuo.

"Your Majesty is right. Master Dong, the Xiliang Yellow Turban bandits are powerful. You don't leave a hundred thousand troops in Xiliang to suppress the bandits, but intend to lead a large army into Beijing. What is your intention? Do you really have objections?"

At this moment, another middle-aged Confucian scholar also stepped forward and drank loudly. He looked dignified, upright, imposing, with piercing eyes, not angry and majestic, making people dare not look directly at him.

"Who are you?" Dong Zhuo's heart trembled again, he took a small step back in fright, and then realized that his state was not right, he quickly regained his expression, and stepped forward to ask again.

"My official is the Taibao Chen Dan."

Dong Zhuo had heard about Chen Dan, after all, Chen Dan used to be Situ, one of the three lords, although they had no direct contact with him, they knew that he was an upright Confucian scholar.

"Forgive me, my lords. We, Mr. Dong, led the army into Beijing with good intentions. We did not have any disrespect to the Holy Majesty. Otherwise, how could we obey the order of the imperial court and station troops outside the eight passes. So there must be There is a misunderstanding, and we came here with the army, in fact, to eliminate some of the remaining Yellow Turban thieves around Luoyang, and to share the worries of the imperial court."

At this moment, Li Ru next to Dong Zhuo also took a step forward, saluted the two adults, and said respectfully, as a Confucian scholar, he felt a little uneasy when facing the leader of the two Confucian scholars, but In order to help Dong Zhuo get out of the embarrassing situation, he had to stand up and defend himself.

"Hmph, whether there is double-mindedness or not is not visible. It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger. It is difficult to paint the bones. Knowing people knows the face but not the heart. Even if you want to eradicate the eunuchs who have caused disasters, you don't have to lead an army of [-]. If you want to prove You have no two intentions, you must immediately retreat back to Xiliang."

"Your Excellency is right. We didn't think carefully. After returning to the battalion, we will immediately retreat back to Xiliang. It is enough to ensure that only a small number of soldiers and horses are left here to cheer for the Holy One."

"Okay, all my lovers are ministers of the imperial court, so there is no need to get tangled up because of a little misunderstanding. I would like to believe that Mr. Dong has no two intentions in this move, otherwise Luoyang City is not so easy to advance. As for I already know about the memorials proposed by all my lovers, and I have to wait until I report to my mother before making a decision. General, several adults have come from afar, it is very hard work, so you should hold a banquet on my behalf and entertain them well Turn it over."

"Yes, I will take my leave." Seeing that the young emperor Liu Bian seemed a little tired, everyone bowed and kowtowed.

"By the way, Mr. Dong, I suddenly remembered something. I don't know if it's true or not?" At this moment, the young emperor Liu Bian seemed to remember something, his spirits recovered, and he stopped Dong Zhuo.

"I don't know what the majesty wants to ask, but I will know everything." Dong Zhuo secretly guessed in his heart, but he still didn't know what the young emperor wanted to ask.

"I heard that Mr. Dong got a thousand-mile horse named Chitu. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I did get such a thousand-mile horse in the Western Regions. It is a famous bloody horse, but it is too hot-tempered for ordinary people to ride, so I didn't bring it with the army this time. If the Holy Majesty likes it If so, when I return to Xiliang, I will definitely send someone to the palace."

"Lord Dong, this statement is not true." Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ding Yuan who was beside him suddenly shouted at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's expression changed, he turned to Ding Yuan and frowned, "Master Ding, do you think this old man will deceive the Holy One?"

"Dong Zhuo, I just saw the horse you were riding when I was outside. Isn't that the sweaty BMW Chitu you mentioned? Why did you lie in front of the Holy Majesty, saying that you didn't bring the BMW with the army? This is not a lie Is it the king's crime?" Ding Yuan shouted coldly.

"My lord, forgive me. The horse Mr. Ding said is indeed a blood-sweat horse, but it is not a red rabbit. The horse-sweat horse is a kind of good horse produced in the Western Regions. After strenuous exercise, blood-like sweat will appear on its body. , and its footsteps are also longer than ordinary horses. It’s just that the red rabbit is the best among sweaty horses.

Hearing Ding Yuan's accusation of Dong Zhuo's crime of deceiving the emperor, Li Ru hastily stepped forward and knelt down, and explained to the young emperor Liu, while Dong Zhuo beside him was sweating profusely around his forehead, and he had already murdered Ding Yuan in his heart.

"Oh, so that's the case, Aiqing is Mr. Dong's son-in-law, Li Ru?" Liu Bian knew that Li Ru was a clever arguer, and now he really discovered his outstanding intelligence at a critical moment.

"That's right, I didn't expect the Holy Majesty to know about this little minister."

"I also occasionally heard that Mr. Dong has two good son-in-laws. One of them is as strong as a cow and can be a fierce general; the other is full of wit, good at adapting, and proficient in tactics. Mr. Dong has been able to make great achievements all these years because of these two. Such a good son-in-law, seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation. I just hope that when Mr. Li is assisting Mr. Dong, he will not go astray and bring disaster to Mr. Dong."

Hearing the young emperor Liu Bian's words, Li Ru suddenly felt a buzzing in his mind. He never thought that the young emperor was so young, but even he was paying attention to him. Then, wouldn't it be true that some things about coming to Xiliang Is this young emperor under surveillance?

"Your Majesty's golden words, the villain must keep in mind that Mr. Dong is a man with all his heart, and he will never go astray." Thinking of something, Li Ru couldn't help but sweat, and his vest was wet all over.

"Hmph, Master Dong, don't be guilty. Your Majesty has sharp eyes and knows everything in his heart." Ding Yuan still didn't let Dong Zhuo go. He had heard about Dong Zhuo a long time ago, and he was always uncomfortable with him.

"Master Ding, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the old man offended you somewhere, and today he actually fell into trouble here, and deceived me, Dong Zhuo, for fear that you would fail?" Dong Zhuo was provoked by Ding Yuan again, and immediately became angry, his eyes blazed fiercely, and turned towards him. Ding Yuan stepped forward with a menacing aura.

"Stop, above the hall, what dare Master Dong want to do? If you fight against the ministers in front of the Holy Majesty, do you still have the Holy Majesty in your eyes? Is it true that you are going to turn against him?"

At this moment, Lu Bu next to Ding Yuan strode forward, blocking the way between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and shouted angrily.

"Okay, dear friends, stop making trouble. After returning home, each of you will act according to my will and make no mistakes. Otherwise, you will be regarded as rebelling against the imperial court and punished as a crime."

Liu Bian did not expect that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo were not on good terms, so it seems that there is no reason why Dong Zhuo attacked Ding Yuan in history, so he secretly ordered Zhang Liao to look for an opportunity to visit this former Shangguan, and to build a relationship with him. Good relationship, but did not mention Lu Buhui's rebellion against Ding Yuan for the time being.

After returning to the barracks that day, several ministers received an imperial decree. Except for Dong Zhuo, the three of them all had the same decree: "Strictly monitor the movements of the Xiliang army. Attacking the Xiliang army must not be violated, otherwise it will be regarded as conspiring with the Xiliang army to betray the imperial court and exterminate the nine tribes. In addition, the Xiliang army has set up military camps in certain places, the purpose is to monitor the movement of your army, be careful Be on guard, don't let him take advantage of you."

When Wang Kuang saw this secret edict, without saying a word, he immediately ordered the whole army to strengthen its vigilance and prepare for war.

After Qiao Mao read the secret edict, he was about to burn the edict and quietly ordered his army to take strict precautions, but he did not make any arrangements for the Ximin army, mainly taking precautionary measures.

As for Ding Yuan, after seeing the secret edict, he immediately moved his army forward and stationed the camp a few miles away from Guo Si's camp, and occupied a hilltop. The whole army guarded against death and was ready to attack at any time .

"Father, why did you make such an arrangement?" Lu Bu didn't see the secret edict, so he came to ask.

"Fengxian came at the right time. Dong Zhuo led an army of [-] from Xiliang. I'm afraid it was not out of good intentions. My father is now moving his troops closer to his right army. It is just to deter him and let him know that if he makes any changes, our Bingzhou army will never stop. Will let him go and make him hesitate."

"Father, we only have 5000 troops, and Xiliang has an army of [-]. If they attack us desperately, wouldn't they be hitting a rock with an egg?"

"I don't know, if Dong Zhuo really has a plan, he would never dare to start a war. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of Yulin and Yulin troops inside and outside Luoyang City. The defenders of the eight gates will not allow Dong Zhuo to do anything wrong."

"Since my lord father said so, then the child will make arrangements to guard against the Xiliang army's sneak attack."

"Hehe, my son Fengxian is brave enough to win the three armies. It's fine if the Xiliang army doesn't come. If my father and son work together when they come, they will definitely be able to beat him to death. He will never come back. How dare the Xiliang army be so brave and brave?" It's the elite trained by my son Fengxian, hahahaha."

Besides, after Dong Zhuo and his party returned to the camp, Dong Zhuo's face was very readable, and he smashed a teacup to the ground with a bang, startling all the soldiers around.

"Master Yuezhang calm down."
