Chapter 54 3. Out-of-print villains

On August 28, the 14-year-old Emperor Liu Bian and the 9-year-old Liu Xie finally returned safely outside Luoyang City under the protection of Min Gong.When they appeared in the outskirts of Luoyang, the officials of the Han Dynasty dispatched one after another to meet them. The children are back, but the nightmare is not over yet. At this time, Dong Zhuo heard that Luoyang had changed and hurried on his way.In the middle of the night, he saw the flames of Luoyang soaring into the sky from a distance. Excited and excited, he ordered the troops to go on the road overnight.Finally, before dawn, they arrived in the west of Luoyang City.

At this time, it was reported that the emperor was in the northern suburbs.As soon as Dong Zhuo heard this, he led his elite soldiers to the north of the city, ready to meet the emperor. As we all know, one of the greatest masterpieces of Cao Cao's life is to make the princes under the control of the emperor.As everyone knows, Cao Cao's trick was not his own creation, the original creator of this unique trick should belong to Dong Zhuo. At this time, Dong Zhuo was like a hungry tiger entering the city, pounced on wherever there was a smell of meat.He went to greet the emperor with a flag, but in fact, he was going to hold the emperor hostage.

Soon, Dong Zhuo met the emperor. However, what made him very depressed was that Emperor Liu Bian didn't like him, and when he saw him coming, he immediately cried non-stop.The left and right ministers were at a loss, so they persuaded Dong Zhuo that you scared the emperor, and the emperor issued an edict ordering your army to retreat. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he sneered in his heart.It's all this time, and you still tell me about the edict of the emperor, it's just nonsense. So he shouted impatiently: "Get out of here, do you know why the emperor is crying? It's because you so-called pillars of the country didn't help the emperor well and let him live in fear. Now you still have the nerve to call me Withdrawal?!"

While cursing, Dong Zhuo swaggered up to Liu Bian and Liu Xie for questioning. He found that the 14-year-old Liu Bian was not generally poor in mental quality. This little guy faltered like a sheep meeting a wolf for a long time, speechless.So he turned around and asked Liu Xie. The little guy was very calm and answered Dong Zhuo's question fluently. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed after hearing this, and couldn't help thinking to himself: How can this big guy be so timid, how can he become emperor?The young one was brought up by Empress Dowager Dong, and he and Empress Dowager Dong are also in the same family.How about abolishing Liu Bian and supporting Liu Xie to ascend the throne?

This was just a momentary thought, flashed in Dong Zhuo's mind, but it was fixed for a long time. On the same day, Liu Bian returned to the palace, pardoned the world, and changed his reign name. At this time, someone quietly told Yuan Shao that Dong Zhuo is not a good person, he has a heavy army in his hands, and he may have bad intentions, you'd better get rid of him before he is familiar with Luoyang City and his heels are not established.Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. The person who proposed to Yuan Shao was Bao Xin, a native of Taishan County, who was then a captain of cavalry.

Bao Xin's words touched Yuan Shao's heart.When he lured Dong Zhuo into Beijing, he just wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.But now, the eunuchs were all wiped out, and the sword entered the city.What worries him even more is that this is not a simple knife, and now he can no longer control the opponent. In the final analysis, Yuan Shao was still afraid of Dong Zhuo and dared not launch an attack. The reason for this is only known to Yuan Shao.He thinks that he can't figure out what's going on with Old Dong right now, and it seems that Old Dong is very powerful. If he fights with him, he may not be his opponent.

If Dong Zhuo heard the worries in Yuan Shao's heart, he would definitely burst out laughing.In fact, Lao Dong's strength was pretended, and Lao Yuan's eyesight was too poor, so he was deceived. In fact, Dong Zhuo brought only 3,000 cavalry when he entered Beijing this time. He also knew that it was impossible for him to overwhelm Luoyang City with his three thousand cavalry.So every four or five days, he ordered his troops to sneak out of Luoyang in the middle of the night, and the next morning, with drums beating and colorful flags fluttering, they came into the city. After going back and forth several times, even Yuan Shao thought that Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Corps were coming to help him one after another.

Of course Dong Zhuo also knew that this kind of trick was fine if played once or twice, but if played too much, it would definitely show his flaws.Besides, being strong is not pretending, only by strengthening one's own strength is one truly powerful.However, he only has three thousand capital, so it seems a little impossible to expand rapidly in a short period of time. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart.Old Dong was able to resist the edict repeatedly, and swaggeringly marched the army into Luoyang City, what was the basis for it?This is the guts of a tiger and a wolf.Since he dared to come in, he had a way to gain a foothold here.

If you want to stand firm, if you don't have soldiers, just grab it.Therefore, Dong Zhuo locked his eyes on the army of the two brothers He Jin and He Miao, and soon he took over the army smoothly. Then Dong Zhuo set his sights on another person. In order to solve this person, he focused on another person.These two people are Ding Yuan, the captain of Wumeng, and Ding Yuan is subordinate to Lu Bu. Ding Yuan, a native of Taishan County (now Tai'an, Shandong).Previously, he was a captain of cavalry and stationed troops north of the Yellow River. At that time, Lu Bu was the chief bookkeeper under his account.Later, when Liu Hong died, in response to He Jin's call, he went to the city to conspire to kill the eunuch, and was worshiped as Zhijinwu.

Lu Bu, styled Fengxian, was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County (now Baotou, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region).Anyone who has seen it knows that this is a guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and his love affair is not shallow. He met Diao Chan, one of the four beauties, and performed a lingering love through the ages. According to folklore, the red rabbit is among the horses, and Lu Bu is among the people.Lu Bu and Diaochan are like Xiang Yu and Concubine Yu in those days, which is very in line with the aesthetic requirements of folk heroes, beauties, gifted scholars and beauties.

However, it needs to be explained that we were all fooled by Luo Guanzhong.Lu Bu's love affair is just a historical legend. In the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", we can't find any records about Diao Chan.So some people wondered if Diao Chan was a character made up by Luo Guanzhong.Here, in order to restore a real Lu Bu, we mainly describe his legendary and tragic life in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and "Three Kingdoms". From the folklore, we can roughly see that Lu Bu, for the sake of beautiful women, will spend all his time lingering with others to the end of the world.But having said that, Lu Bu, who is loyal to love, has very problematic professional ethics. This problem is strongly manifested in the extreme disloyalty to the boss. When he was an official under Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan appreciated him very much.When Dong Zhuo saw Lv Bu, of course he appreciated it very much.The starting point of the two is probably the same. Lu Bu is very skilled in martial arts and is known as a flying general. Let him stick to his side as a bodyguard and feel very safe. Here, we also roughly understand Luo Guanzhong's intention to bring Lu Bu and Diao Chan together.Lu Bu is such a man who makes men feel safe, if he is not matched with a beautiful woman, then Luo Guanzhong's conscience will not be able to get over it. Dong Zhuo also saw that a person like Lu Bu would not stay under others for a long time.So he coaxed him and said, do you want to be the boss, if you want to, please kill Ding Yuan and take his army, I will worship you as the captain of the cavalry, and you will be the leader of this army. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.Between generals and soldiers, Lu Bu chose the former.Sure enough, according to Dong Zhuo's order, he killed Ding Yuan, and his troops joined Dong Zhuo. From then on, Lu Bu was given the title of house thief on top of his head, so when the heroes of the world saw him on the battlefield, they would scold him first and then come to the competition. But for Dong Zhuo, he felt more at ease after accepting Lu Bu.Then, he also found a position for himself as Sikong.When he's done with that, it's time to get to work. What he wanted to fix was the thought that had been lingering on his mind for a long time - to abolish Liu Bian and help Liu Xie.
