Chapter 381 The Eve of the Storm

Liu He could naturally hear the sarcasm in Ding Yuan's words, but he was not angry.

"As far as I know, Dong Zhuo's army in Xiliang has a population of 100,000. Later, he incorporated Luoyang Imperial Army, Yulin Army, and the guards of the He clan. Now he has a large army of no less than 180,000. Hulao Pass and Luoyang City are all easy to defend but difficult to attack. Duke Jianyang thought that with your 50,000 or 60,000 troops, it may shake Dong Zhuo? What's more, you have to leave your troops to guard Xihe and Taiyuan."

Ding Yuan hesitated slightly, but then he was extremely firm again.

"Hmph, I just know the destiny of heaven! I have to serve the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. I am invincible and brave, so why fear Dong Zhuo?"

Liu He shook his head repeatedly when he heard this.

"What do you think is the bravery of my five brothers?"

Ding Yuan thought for a while and replied: "From what I see, at least Liu Taishou himself, and your second and fifth brothers, Wu Yong is no less than Fengxian."

"That's it. In the first battle of the grassland, my five brothers worked together to face the army that was three times as big as mine, and they almost died. The troops of Gong and Dong Zhuo were far different, even more so at that time. With only Lu Bu, what's the case?"

Ding Yuan was silent for a while and finally sighed.

"Even so, how can we sit down and watch Your Majesty be humiliated? But we just serve the country with a broken body."

"In this way, Jianyang Duke not only failed, but also made mistakes. Not only could he not kill Dong Zhuo, but he would encourage his power."

Ding Yuan was very puzzled and asked, "How do you explain this?"

Liu He said: "The strength of Duke and Dong Zhuo is very different, not to mention that when you attack and defend, the number of victory or defeat is determined. I expect that Duke will never be guaranteed when he leaves. At that time, Bingzhou army will have no other way except being incorporated by Dong Zhuo? In this way, Dong Zhuo will have a great force with the might of great victory, with more than 200,000 troops, and will be in Luoyang. Even if I join forces with Lu and Zhu, it will definitely not be an enemy. Isn't this a fault for Duke?"

"this……"

Liu He's words obviously moved Ding Yuan.

"So... can we just sit back and see?"

Liu He shook his head and said, "Of course not. How many people are there in the world who oppose Dong Zhuo? Not to mention Lu Zhi, the two veteran generals Zhu are leading their troops back to Luoyang. There are countless loyal and righteous people among the states and counties alone. We can submit memorials and order Dong Zhuo to assist the emperor well. If he can assist the government, everyone will be happy. If he really does a rebellion, we will summon the heroes of the world to raise troops together and gather the strength of the world, and will surely succeed in the battle!"

Ding Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Prince Liu is indeed very thoughtful. If it weren't for the prefect's words, I would have almost made a big mistake."

"You are polite to the governor, you and I are allies, so it should be."

Ding Yuan stood up and bowed, "Since that's the case, I will go back first, wait for news from Liu Taishou and then make plans!"

"I'll send it to the governor."

After seeing Ding Yuan away, Liu He felt relieved.

"After slandering, Ding Yuan was finally left behind. In this way, Lu Bu would probably not be called Dong Zhuo's general. Dong Zhuo's strength would be weaker than the original history. In this way, I will have more chances of winning when dealing with it. What is the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance? It is just a group of unreliable things, and in the end I have to rely on myself. I have to arrange it carefully for Lu Zhi and Zhu..."

He clenched his fists, then turned back to the camp.

It is late at night and the moon is dark and the wind is high. In the wilderness of Jingzhou, there is a huge military camp.

The barracks are arranged in an orderly manner, and the soldiers patrolling in an orderly manner. You can tell at a glance that the commander is definitely not a mediocre person.

A group of people suddenly galloped from a distance and soon arrived at the gate of the camp.

"Stop! The military camp is important, you must not enter without any entry!"

The guards stopped them.

"We are here to convey the imperial edict and report it quickly!"

While speaking, the visitor took out a roll of gold silk cloth and raised it high.

When the guard saw it, he did not dare to act rashly, so he hurried into the military camp to report.

Soon, the group came to the commander's tent. An old general in his forties or fifties fell to the ground with a few other generals.

The man launched the imperial edict and recited: "For the heavenly inheritance, Emperor Zhao said: General Lu Zhi, the right chariot cavalry, led his army to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhou. He was inappropriate and was deeply dissuaded from his post. He handed over all seals to the left Zhonglang general Niu Fu, and immediately escorted back to Beijing. Imprison this!"

"What! How could it be..."

All the generals were very shocked, but Lu Zhi himself only had a slightly change in his face, as if he had expected this.

"The old minister receives the order, thank you!"

A man in his thirties and very strong figure walked over and stretched out his hand.

"Give it, bring it."

The generals behind Lu Zhi were about to have an attack, but he stopped him. He walked to his commander's case and received the seal.

"General Niu is young and promising. I admire him. This is my seal. I will hand it over to the general. I hope the general..."

Before Lu Zhi finished speaking, Niu Fu snatched it directly.

"Okay, OK, I will deal with it myself. The old general will go to Luoyang to recuperate."

Lu Zhi's hands were hanging in the air like this, and all the generals behind him were indignant.

A team of soldiers came over and made a "please" gesture to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi looked at the generals who had followed him for many years and forced himself to smile.

"Don't worry, I'm old and it's time to return home. You should follow General Niu and make new achievements, so don't worry about it."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the handsome tent.

"General..."

The generals wanted to go out and give it a gift, but were stopped by Niu Fu and could only stand at the door of the handsome tent, looking at Lu Zhi's back with reluctance.

A group of ten soldiers in total led Lu Zhi to the north and walked into a forest. Lu Zhi suddenly stopped.

He looked at the surrounding environment and didn't know what he was looking at. The soldiers behind him did not urge him, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

A long time later, Lu Zhi suddenly said, "This place is good, and it is suitable as a place where I buried my bones."

The leader of the soldiers behind him smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is indeed extraordinary. This kind of mind and state of mind are far from enough for villains."

Lu Zhi carried his hands behind his back, his head held high and his chest raised: "I have never felt ashamed of the country and the people. Before my death today, I have a saying, please bring it to Dong Zhuo."

"Mr. Lu, please say that."

"The way of heaven is clear, good and evil will be rewarded, and it has been the same since ancient times and has not changed. Although Dong Zhuo is powerful today, there are so many righteous people in the world. If they are not restrained, they will die sooner or later. At that time, the fate will only be worse than that of me."

After hearing this, the soldier thought for a while and said, "Well, this is a good thing. The villain will definitely report back to my lord. Okay, then the time comes, the villain will send you on his way."

The soldier slowly pulled out the accessories and walked towards Lu Zhi step by step...

The same situation also happened in a wilderness in Jizhou at the same time, and the same ten soldiers surrounded Zhu Tuantuan...

More than half a month later, the two troops marched to a foot of a mountain north of Yingchuan and a certain wilderness in Hanoi County, set up camps and never pushed towards Luoyang a little step.

Just after the two armies were settled, the news that shocked the government and the people spread throughout every corner of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Liu Bian was abolished and demoted to King Hongnong, and the new emperor Liu Xie succeeded to the throne.

Soon, King Hongnong and his biological mother Empress Dowager He died on the way to the fiefdom.

Dong Zhuo, with the merit of supporting the army, was promoted to the Grand Master, and went to the palace with swords and shoes, praised him and worshipped him without a name, and did not go to the court. From then on, he lived in the harem day and night.

As soon as this incident happened, the whole world was in an uproar.

Liu He, who was far away in the north, secretly said after receiving the news: "The time is finally ripe!"
