Chapter 32 cut off old love

The emperor's funeral is the most cumbersome, and all the affairs of civil and military officials are governed by etiquette: Taiwei reads the posthumous posthumous policy, Situ takes the lead in leading the funeral, Sikong will be the supervisor of the utensils, Taichang Master of Ceremonies will pass the cry, Zongzheng treats the princes. Honglu welcomes the nine guests, the eunuch supervises the making of the funeral car, the chief minister counts the money, Guang Luxun and the Weiwei guard the Zigong...it makes everyone feel like they are on their knees. Not to mention the ministers of the imperial court, princes and kings from all over the world will travel thousands of miles to Beijing for funerals, and even the people of Luoyang City have to wear moon white robes.

Officials in Beijing, regardless of their rank, come together every five days, and the Empress Dowager, Emperor Liu Bian, and Bohai King Liu Xie also have to accompany them to mourn.This is done every five days, and these three months have passed, and when Hanling Emperor Liu Hong buried Mangshan Wenling, Tai Changqing sent an order to cry again, no matter whether princes, nobles or civil and military officials, everyone had already shed tears , All that was left was to cry while covering his face and hoarse voice. It was so fast, the second day after the burial, a shocking incident broke out at the court meeting.

General He Jin, Chariot General He Miaohui, and Sangong played together: "Empress Xiaoren, Empress Dong's old servant Xia Yun, Yongle servant Feng Xiao and other communication prefectures and counties accepted officials' treasures and bribed them to enter the Western Province. The story of the empress do not If you stay in the capital, you will have rules in public service, and you will be ashamed of food and taste, so please empress Yongle move to the palace.” Empress Dowager Dong’s life can be described as ups and downs.She was originally the wife of Liu Chang, Marquis of Xiezhuting, but an ordinary concubine. Because her husband died early, she was dependent on her only son, Liu Hong.

Later, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty passed away, and Dou's relatives chose her son as emperor, and the mother and son were reluctant to part.They thought they would never meet again in this life, but they entrusted the blessing of the two eunuchs Wang Fu and Cao Jie.The eunuchs killed the Dou family, and she was so happy that she came to Luoyang to become the queen mother.Domineering and selling officials and nobles, collecting money and squandering to oppress Zhongliang, her shadow is behind every tyranny of her son.I really hope to raise children to look after my old age, and I don't want white-haired people to send black-haired people instead.She also blamed herself for being confused, and insisted on forcing her son to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones before he died. As a result, Jian Shuo was killed and the edict was invalidated, and Liu Bian became emperor.The He family has become a genuine foreign relative, and the Empress Dowager Dong can be said to be a man who treats me like a fish and a fish. She has to part with her beloved grandson and return to the old house in Hejian where she has been away for nearly 20 years.

As soon as her chariot and horses left Luoyang, He Jin sent Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others to surround the mansion of Hussar General Dong Zhong.Dong Zhong understood the truth, poured the poisoned wine himself, and everything was over.Three days later, Empress Dowager Dong died violently on the way back to Hejian, and Bohai King Liu Xie moved to become King Chenliu.But according to legend, she was poisoned by chariot general He Miao. So far, all obstacles that interfere with the He family's administration have been removed. I don't know if it's a coincidence or because Liu Hong is so hated as a fool, the rebels in the world seem to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.When he was alive, there were rebellions and wars every day, and when he died, the rebels were all wiped out:

The bandit leader Kingdom of Liangzhou suffered consecutive defeats against Huangfusong, and eventually collapsed internally. The kingdom was killed by Han Sui and Ma Teng under his command.Han and Ma coerced Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Hanyang, to be the leader, but Yan Zhong died of grief and anger because he refused.From then on, Han Sui and Ma Teng were incompatible, and their power to attack and kill each other declined. Later, they had to retreat to Xiliang, not daring to take another step into Guanzhong; In the southwest, Quejian, the governor of Yizhou, was killed by the Yellow Turban.Jia Long and Ren Qi, prefect of the local prefecture, recruited Xiangyong to fight against the rebels. After several months of fighting, they finally killed the leader of the Yellow Turban, Ma Xiang.The newly appointed Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and others entered Mianzhu, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Shu County and other places were quickly eliminated;

In the northeast, the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju colluding with Karasuma gradually came to an end.Although Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan, the captain of the cavalry, disagreed on the conquest strategy, after several disputes, the two still united with one strong and one soft.Gongsun Zan defeated Zhang Chun by force, Liu Yu recruited and beheaded Zhang Chun, and Zhang Ju committed suicide by hanging himself.Liu Yu was promoted to the state shepherd, and respected far away as the Taiwei; Gongsun Zan was also promoted to the captain of Jianglu, and also served as the chief historian;

The battle in Hanoi was also successful. Zhu Jun only recruited some miscellaneous soldiers in Hedong, and beat the Black Mountain Army who invaded Sili into circles.The morale of these peasant armies was low after a long battle, and they finally retreated to the deep mountains and old forests, and sent people to the court to ask for title.Promise that the imperial court will grant them the official position of the leader, and they will no longer raise troops to make trouble; The main force of the Yellow Turbans in Qingxu Land is as many as 200,000, but they are also mobs who are equally incompetent.After Yuan Shao dispersed them and returned to the court, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, and Xue Yan, minister of Donghai, defeated them one by one.The coastal area was dealt with by Zang Ba, the captain of cavalry. He recruited Wu Dun, Yin Li and other local tyrants to raise their own troops. In a few days, he wiped out all the yellow scarves wandering along the mountains and coasts;

In Bingzhou, Ding Yuan's rebellion was also quite effective.The Xiongnu rebels saw that they could not take the advance, so they had to retreat to northern Xinjiang and set up Xu Bu Gudu Hou as a puppet Chanyu.Xiutuge's troops were even worse. After several battles, most of them were recruited by the former general Dong Zhuo, and the rest escaped outside the Great Wall and resumed their nomadic life.For the Baibo army, the leader Guo Tai died in battle, and his subordinates Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai, etc. were too weak, so they had to retreat to Baibo Valley to guard.So far, the chaos in Bingzhou has generally subsided.

The fight against chaos was successful everywhere, and the flames of war were extinguished one after another. For a while, swords and guns were sent to Kuma and released to Nanshan.The battles were no longer endless, and the eight battalions of Lieutenant Xiyuan, who were responsible for calming the chaos, were useless. The imperial court gradually reduced the army, and only one third of these troops remained. Cao Cao served as a lieutenant of the Dianjun, and it turned out that there was a boss on his head, Jian Shuo. No matter what the purpose was, at least he was still discussing the war.Now that Jian Shuo is dead, and the battle is no longer fought, there is already a northern army stationed in the capital, and his miscellaneous soldiers are actually meaningless. few.Especially after the Xiyuanqi formed by Liu Hong was ordered to disband, the royal garden was no longer used for military use, and the school captains could not even find a yamen for discussion.

When Cao Cao and the others saw this, they had no intention of training soldiers and horses, so they simply left everything to their Sima, and went to the shogunate to sit around by themselves, no different from the general's subordinates. He Jin is a good relative and uncle, simple and honest, kind and loyal, but he is not a qualified general.Don't say that you don't have your own opinions in handling government affairs, and you can't read all the characters on the memorial.Fortunately, the shogunate is full of high-ranking officers, Changshi Wangqian is in charge of confidential affairs, Kuaiyue is in charge of personnel affairs, and Cao Cao's subordinates perform their duties. The General's Mansion is like a small imperial court.He Jin only needs to sign the confidential documents every day, and in the rest of the time, he can talk about state affairs with idlers like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Although the overall situation is stable now, Yuan Shao, He Yong and others still have one unfulfilled wish, that is, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, the accomplices of the Danggu, and the twelve Zhongchang attendants headed by them are still there.But after Empress Dowager He came to the court, she only dealt with Xia Yun and Feng Xuan; for the remaining ten people, not only did they not pursue their crimes, but even affirmed the contribution of Zhang Rang and others in escorting them, and included them in the ranks of heroes. Ever since the funeral, Yuan Shao has been nagging He Jin in his ear, constantly persuading him to kill the ten permanent servants, but He Jin hesitated to make a decision.Cao Cao has seen this situation countless times, and this is the case again today. "General, have you still not made up your mind about the eunuchs? The ten permanent servants have been harming the country and the people for a long time. Now that the previous government has eliminated all the bad government, the court recruits talents to serve as officials. If these villains who are harmful to the country are not eliminated, how can the scholars be at ease? Xue Limin's hatred?" Yuan Shao had been repeating it for a long time. He Jin's expression was a bit dull: "Benchu, didn't I say that the queen mother must agree to this matter. But she doesn't agree! To be honest, I am not very willing to do this." "Why?" Yuan Shao frowned. "In the past, I, He Jin, was just a butcher. If Zhang Rang hadn't recommended my sister to enter the palace, how could I be as rich as I am today? Maybe I'm still sharpening my knife in the Nanyang market." He Jin's expression is naive You are so cute, "Ben Chu, my virtuous brother, don't think you are not as big as I am, but you don't suffer as much as I do. You are from a family of princes, and I am from a family of butchers. This is incomparable. As the saying goes, you eat people's mouths. Short, not repaying a kindness is already too much, is it justifiable to kill him after retaliation?" A few plain words choked the eloquent Yuan Shao so that he didn't know what to say. Cao Cao, Wang Qian, and Kuai Yue covered their mouths and laughed for a long time. Wang Qian said: "Don't discuss this matter now. There are two important matters that need to be dealt with urgently. One is that Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu Shanyu, is in Beijing. One is that Dong Zhuo supported his troops to garrison and cool down, and these two issues must be resolved as soon as possible." Cao Cao also said: "That's right, these are two things, but they are actually one. Yu Fuluo was supposed to inherit the position of Shan Yu, but now the Huns rebels have set up another pseudo Shan Yu, and they have taken over his position." Tents and pastures. He was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot in Luoyang. These days, even Da Honghe dared not see him, and Yuan Shu and Bao Tao accompanied him every day to shoot and hunt to relieve boredom." He Jin scratched his head and said: "Then he will Don't go back, can't we just keep him?" Cao Cao was taken aback: "That's impossible! The Xiongnu is our vassal state, how can we ignore it? Besides, this time it was because they wanted to help us fight Karasuma, so they had civil strife. If people are in danger and Regardless, where is the authority of my great country?" "Meng De is very reasonable. This matter must be taken care of." Wang Qian replied again, "But Dong Zhuo's problem must be resolved first. A few days ago, Huangfu Song sent a memorial from Liangzhou to sue Dong Zhuo. Support your own strength and recruit dead soldiers. This nail must be pulled out!" When Wang Qian said this, he deliberately glanced at Yuan Shao. More than 20 years ago, Dong Zhuo was just a job under the governor of Liangzhou. It was because Yuan Kai made him a thief Cao for Sikong that he rose to prominence. Yuan Shao was angry with He Jin just now, seeing Wang Qian looking at him, he said casually, "Just pull it out! I'm not related to him." Cao Cao was somewhat disappointed with Huangfusong: "What's wrong with Huangfu old man? This is not like his style of doing things. Since Dong Zhuo is a soldier who respects himself, he should deal with it himself. First seize his military power, or wait for an opportunity to capture him .Dong Zhuo has already resisted the edict once, and it is obvious to support the soldiers, so what's the use of this memorial by Uncle Huangfu?" "You don't understand this, he was frightened by the court!" Yuan Shaobai gave Cao Cao a look, "At first he fought for the court loyally, but later because he sued Zhao Zhong, General Zuo Cheqi was also withdrawn, and the feudal city was also withdrawn. He was cut off, and he almost went to prison. After such a toss, how dare he kill it first and then play it? In the final analysis, this is also the fault of the ten permanent servants. If you don’t get rid of these eunuchs who have wronged the country, everything will be solved No." Cao Cao heard him go back to the topic, secretly amused, but did not follow his meaning, just said: "No matter whose fault it is, now we have to pull out the nail. The general might as well issue another edict to summon Dong Zhuo Back to court..." "He won't come back! There are Ten Permanent Attendants and other treacherous ministers inside..." Yuan Shao paused for a moment, then said calmly, "The mountains are high outside and the emperor is far away, so why would he want to come back?" Wang Qian also felt that Yuan Shao was making trouble these days, looked at him, and said forcefully: "It doesn't matter if you don't come back! Give him a governor and state shepherd, and let his soldiers be controlled by Huangfusong! Besides, doesn't he have a younger brother Dong? Min? Summon him to an official in the capital, and hold his relatives will work." Yuan Shao looked at Wang Qian, did not dare to say anything, but said earnestly to He Jinyu: "General, you have to discuss with the Queen Mother about the matter of killing eunuchs, this is not only for the ministers inside and outside, but also for you and the Queen Mother The safety of the generals Deng Zhi and Dou Wu Fuzheng of the previous dynasty were all Zhongliang’s relatives, but they were killed by eunuchs in the end. Except for these hateful eunuchs, they will always hinder the government. For the safety of the general’s family , is even more of a threat." He Jin doesn't know other things, how can he not know about life and death.It's hard to get from a mere commoner to today's step. Wouldn't it be a pity if he lost his life in a muddle?He drooped his head and thought for a while before saying: "Yes. This matter has to be done, and I have to mention it to my sister." Seeing his hesitation, Cao Cao found it ridiculous: Did Yuan Benchu ​​make a big fuss and squeeze the general into such a... While talking, Kuai Yue and Liu Biao came again smiling: "Congratulations, General, Congratulations, General!" He Jin was confused: "What's the good thing?" Liu Biao was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut: "The great hermit Zheng Xuan has been ordered to enter the court, and he has arrived at Dutingyi!" Everyone was delighted to hear this, it was a happy event. Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang, and Chen Shi are the three great sages of the people. Whenever the three princes of the court are vacant, they will always issue edicts to them symbolically, but they are unwilling to do so.Jian Shuo overthrew the new king and ascended the throne. Under the advice of everyone, He Jin issued edicts to the old generation of celebrities who had been imprisoned in the past, but very few of them were willing to return to serve as officials.Immediately after Chen Shi passed away in old age, He Jin felt that he wanted to win wise men to decorate the court, so he successively called for Zheng Xuan and Xun Shuang.It may be that hard work paid off, and Zheng Xuan was finally moved. It was obviously a happy thing, but He Jin panicked. He was a butcher, and he really didn't know how to treat such a big man with courtesy. Seeing that he was at a loss, Wang Qian suggested: "Don't worry, general, it may be too late to prepare for the ceremony today, so just pretend to go to Duting to meet the old man." After speaking, he told everyone, "Zheng Kangcheng He is also an old man, according to me, except for the general, we should not go to visit other people. Tomorrow we will line up outside Pingyang City to welcome him. Since he is here, there will still be opportunities to ask the old man for advice in the future." Cao Cao and the others nodded in agreement, but when they thought of Zheng Xuannai, the master of Confucian classics, "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are all masters.And tomorrow I will have a face-to-face consultation with the old man, I am afraid that everyone will be too excited to sleep tonight.Everyone put aside their official duties for a while, told He Jin to pay attention to etiquette, and then went home to prepare for tomorrow's embarrassment. On the second day, Cao Cao got up early in the morning, dusted and dusted the brand-new dark clothes, combed and combed the hair bun, and trimmed and trimmed the beard. Naturally, he had to keep improving to meet the great hermit.He looked in the mirror for a long time, making sure that everything was in order, but just as he was about to leave, he saw his old father coming to his door leaning on a staff: "What are you doing, boy?" I suffered from low back pain. Cao Cao helped him in, and said with a smile, "My son is going to meet Zheng Kangcheng...don't talk to each other, I'm already my age." "What's the matter with your age? Even if you become a general, you are still my son!" Cao Song sat down unsteadily, "I heard that many people from He Jin wrote a letter saying that Dong Zhuo wanted to rebel. Is it true that you are also there?" One copy?" Cao Cao was so focused on going out that he teased, "It was Zhu Jun who persuaded the general." "Don't listen to Zhu Jun and his gang, Dong Zhuo can't fight back." "Oh? How do you know?" Cao Cao was very surprised. Cao Song fiddled with his crutches: "Then Dong Zhuo is over fifty years old this year, and he doesn't have a son. Who will he oppose?" "Hmph!" Cao Cao felt that his father's reason was far-fetched. "Don't laugh, he, Dong Zhongying, is the same as Duan Jiming back then. He is a veteran ruffian. This group of people is from Xiliang Wufu, and they don't fall into the eyes of Qingliu scholars and bureaucrats. They spend their entire lives trying to be a domineering and good fortune. You Look at the gang of Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Wang Guo, if there are three or two thousand soldiers, they dare to act recklessly, this is the folk style of being aggressive!" "You are prejudiced in saying that." "It's not prejudice." Cao Song stroked his gray beard, "Back then when Lord Guangwu conquered the country, Kaixiao ruled Liangzhou at both ends of the Shoushu. One side was a vassal with Guangwu Lord, and the other side flirted with Baidi Gongsun Shugou. As a result Lord Guangwu flattened him, and from that time on, people from Liangzhou were not allowed to move into the customs, and the people of Liangzhou have been aggressive for a long time." Cao Cao lowered his head and pondered: "Then you say Dong Zhuo..." "Don't worry about Dong Zhuo's affairs!" Cao Song frowned, "Don't worry about what you should worry about, and worry about what you shouldn't worry about...I'm going to resign." "Hmm. Hmm?" Cao Cao finally came to his senses, "Why do you resign?" Cao Song jokingly said: "You are a miscellaneous school captain who gets a salary of two thousand shi, but I, an admonishing doctor, only have six hundred shi. My son bullies me, and I don't look good, so I won't do it!" Cao Cao couldn't care less about going out now, afraid that his father would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Father! Why are you joking with me? Why didn't you do it for no reason? You are much younger than Ma Rizun. You are old and not I don’t know, you can’t serve as an admonishing official unless you are a prestige official. Didn’t Yang Ci and Liu Tao serve as officials when they retired? You are a respectable official. Moreover, you served as a captain once, and once served as a public official, you gained fame You will be able to serve again in the future. Maybe Sangong will be vacant again, and you will be able to fill in." "Don't use such words to reassure me!" Cao Song curled his lips, "It turns out that the people who were reprimanded by the late emperor have all returned. Huang Wan was promoted to Yuzhou Shepherd, Zhao Mo became Wei Weiqing, Zhu Jun returned to the court, and Wang Yun did not. You have been acquitted of the crime. You still encourage He Jin to recruit talents every day, even the old guys like Xun Shuang, Shen Tupan, and Zhang Jian are invited into the court, and now even Zheng Xuan has come. With these people blocking the way, I still Where can I put it? I will never touch San Gong again in this life!" What he said was the truth, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded: "Father! You are right, the past has been blown away. Now the court wants to use those young talents and prestigious people, and there will be no such thing as selling officials. gone." Cao Song sneered and said, "What young talents? I can't see how they are superior. Kong Rong and other crazy students became servants, Zheng Tai became a minister, and Zhou Wei was appointed as a servant. The most irritating thing is that Liu Biao is the Marquis of the Northern Army, Hu Muban is the Zhijinwu, and Kong Ni and Yuan Yi are all released as county guards. Will they all lead the army? Sitting and talking is more or less the same, and it is useless at critical moments! " Cao Cao had to admit that these people did not have much experience, but they all made some contributions to the general, and they were also local celebrities.He Jin, a white general, wants to put gold on his face, and with the introductions of Yuan Shao and He Yong, of course he has to use these people. Seeing that his son was in a daze, Cao Song said again: "Meng De, the sage said 'harmony with light and dust'. To put it bluntly, it is the emperor and the courtiers of one dynasty. In this dynasty, he will be loyal to the emperor of this dynasty. There is no need to think about it. You Dad, I am like this. I know right and wrong, but some things cannot be done without doing that! In the past, money was used, but now I see my background. The road to the top is blocked. Why don’t I resign? The day before yesterday I went to talk to Fan Ling and Prime Minister Xu discussed it and wanted to persuade them to resign with me, but they are still unwilling to leave. Hmph! Now that you have given me face, let me take advantage of the fact that I have a whole face to retire as soon as possible. It’s too late to leave any more! You’re getting old, you have to know what to do…” That's right, daddy can be regarded as messed up.When the eunuch gained power, he also gained power.Now that the eunuchs have bowed their heads and obeyed their ears, his old horse has no fodder.Once the emperor and the courtiers, there is an absurd monarch like the late emperor, and there will be a group of courtiers like Daddy.I can stand up now, and he will not be able to help me in the future... Cao Cao bowed his head and remained silent. Cao Song seemed to see his son's state of mind clearly, and he said with a smile: "Boy, don't look down on your father. You must be filial to me in the future. I am resigning early now for your own good." !" "Huh?" Cao Cao was taken aback. "Don't pretend to be confused, what is He Jin planning these days?" "Nothing." "Nonsense, you plan to get rid of the ten permanent attendants." Cao Cao was even more surprised: "How do you know?" "Hmph!" Cao Song snorted, "Zhang Rang sold all the houses in the east of the city, where do you think all the money went?" "have no idea." "We've all arrived at the Cheqi General's Mansion." "He Miao?" "Well, Zhang Rang gave all the money he got to He Miao to save his life, and begged the He family to spare their lives. Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and the others also pawned off their property and entrusted favors everywhere. I have an old relationship with them. , What if they send me the money and ask you to intercede for them, what should I do? If they don’t help, they will scold me for being disregarding friendship, and won’t I just cause trouble for you by agreeing?” Cao Song sighed, "So, I quickly resigned from office. I'm worthless, and they won't be able to find me!" "Father! For the sake of the child, I..." Cao Cao held his father's hand, not knowing what to say. "Boy, I have already cut off the old relationship! From now on, our family will have nothing to do with any eunuch. You can just kill whoever you want to kill. If you can get acquainted with those gang of Qingliu, you will be regarded as Qingliu in the future." It's - the future is bright!" "Thank you...Father!" For a moment, Cao Cao didn't know what to say. "But I have to remind you... He Jin is not going to be successful, and he will know before he kills him. If there is an unresolved matter in the future, you have to help him cut the mess quickly! Everything is afraid of delay. , procrastinating, a good thing can become a disaster!" It was originally a few good words, but Cao Cao felt a little uneasy after hearing it. He stood there blankly, watching his old father walking away leaning on his stick, it took a long time to think of today's important matters, and hurried out of the house with small steps.Unexpectedly, before he got into the car, he saw Cui Jun coming on a tall horse. Cao Cao frowned and said, "Yuan Ping, are you going to ride a horse to see Zheng Kangcheng? Doesn't this well-proportioned uniform get wrinkled?" "Alas..." Cui Jun sighed before speaking, "I can't see you anymore, the old man has already left." "Let's go!?" Cao Cao just stepped into the car with one leg, and got off again, "What's the matter?" Cui Jun smiled wryly and shook his head: "The old man doesn't want to come at all. , dragged Zheng Xuan here. He Jin went to Duting to meet yesterday, the old man just bowed to him in common clothes, and after he left, the old man slipped away in the dead of night, leaving behind a disciple named Xi Xi to explain Condition." This matter is really dumbfounding, Cao Cao sighed: "If I knew it was like this, I should have joined in the fun yesterday. That's good. It's a pity that I met an expert and missed it, a pity..." "I think this matter is very strange." Cui Jun's expression became serious, "Now not only Zheng Xuan and Xun Shuang are not coming, but even Zhang Jian and Shen Tupan, the famous scholars of the party, have refused the order. This morning I I was thinking, what Yuan Shao said yesterday is very reasonable, eunuchs must be eliminated. If those eunuchs are not eliminated, virtuous people will not be willing to return to the court to serve. If things go on like this, it will be detrimental to the country..." Cao Cao nodded, now that his father has put aside his relationship with the eunuch, he can follow He Jin and Yuan Shao to give it a go. Zheng Xuan went away with a bow, and left his disciple Xi Xi to explain, which was considered polite, and He Jin couldn't be bothered anymore, so he just worshiped Xi Xi as an official and made a fuss about it. On the other hand, after Tai Fu Yuan Kui and various ministers raised money, the imperial court issued an edict to transfer Bingzhou Inspector Ding Yuan to Wumeng Duwei; transferred former general Dong Zhuo to serve as Bingzhou Mu, and asked him to hand over the army to Huangfusong for dispatch.But the result was unexpected. Dong Zhuo resisted the edict again. The old soldier wrote a letter saying: "I have neither old schemes nor strong things. I have been in charge of the army for ten years. The size of the soldiers has been with each other for a long time. I love the kindness of my ministers and livestock. Beg for the command of Beizhou and serve the frontier.” However, Dong Zhuo’s younger brother, Dong Min, arrived in Luoyang with joy, and was immediately promoted to be the captain of Fengche.
