Han emperor system

Chapter 246 Dong Zhuo's Strategy (Part [-])
After listening to Zhang Liao's reading of the imperial decree, all the soldiers under Ding Yuan knelt down and shouted long live, and then all the generals stepped forward to salute Zhang Liao at the same time:

"General Zhang please give an order."

"Clean up the barracks, tidy up the camp, bury the dead, and at the same time strengthen security to prevent people with bad intentions." Zhang Liao didn't refuse, he knew that the young emperor would let him come forward to clean up Ding Yuan's mess, so he lowered his voice in front of Dong Zhuo ordered.

"General Zhang, it's really strange, Ding Yuan just died, how could the Holy Majesty announce the imperial decree in advance?" Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, he still didn't want to give up, so he asked loudly.

"Your Majesty is wise, of course you have already considered all these things, and of course you have also considered other things, so he ordered this general to come and stop some people. But if Lord Taiwei doesn't believe this general, you can take the imperial decree to take a closer look. Or go to the Holy Master and ask whether it is true or not?"

Zhang Liao smiled. At this time, Ding Yuan's subordinates had already begun to tidy up the barracks in an orderly manner under his orders, tidy up the barracks, and carried out the soldiers who died in the camp. , Be wary of the Xiliang army.

"Hey, let's go."

Dong Zhuo saw that he couldn't take advantage, and would be even angrier if he stayed any longer, so he snorted coldly and galloped away first, but he already hated Zhang Liao to the bone in his heart.

Hua Xiong looked at Zhang Liao, eager to try, but Dong Zhuo didn't order him, and he didn't dare to challenge him, so he had to follow Dong Zhuo, but before leaving, he said to Zhang Liao fiercely:
"General Zhang, I hope one day I can test whether your sword is sharp?"

"This general's sword will definitely be sharper than your head. If you don't believe me, you can try it at any time." Zhang Liao did not show any weakness. He received the empowerment from Liu Bian and learned a set of powerful sword techniques, so his strength far exceeds Hua Xiong, it's just that no one knows about it.

"Let's go too."

Lu Bu looked at the barracks and saw many corpses brought out by the soldiers, then looked at Ding Yuan's corpse, then turned his horse's head and took a few surviving men, and left, but Zhang Liao didn't let anyone stop him, so despite Some of Ding Yuan's generals glared at Lu Bu, but no one acted without authorization.

"General, Lu Bu committed the crime of killing his father and killed General Ding. Should he be allowed to leave like this?" Finally, some partial generals couldn't help asking.

"This is the Holy Majesty's will. I think the Holy Majesty has other intentions, so let's save him for now. After all, he was not like this before, and this time he was framed by Dong Zhuo's old thief. Speaking of which, he is also a pitiful person." .”

When Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong returned to the barracks, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he dropped several teacups, ruined a few pictures, and almost drew his sword to kill a patrolman, but was persuaded by Li Ru.

"Lord Yuezhang calm down, although he failed to take over Ding Yuan's army, but now that Ding Yuan is dead, no one dares to fight against him anymore, and adults will have a greater right to speak in the court, which is also a good thing ah."

After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo's anger dissipated a little, but he still shook his head and said, "Although Ding Yuan is dead, we don't have the army to take over him. Did he know in advance that Lu Bu and Ding Yuan would turn against each other? How could he have prepared an imperial decree for Zhang Liao to take over Ding Yuan's subordinates?"

"My lord, it's not a bad thing that we didn't recruit Ding Yuan's subordinates. We have a deep hatred with Ding Yuan. If we forcibly recruited his subordinates, they may obey us on the surface, but I'm afraid they will still hold grudges secretly. In mind. If they turn against the water at an important moment, it will greatly affect us. So Mr. Yuezhang, don’t worry about it, you should celebrate Ding Yuan’s death. As for Zhang Liao’s disrespect in front of Mr. Zhang, we will talk to him later. Let's do the math."

"Well, that's right. Now we want to buy some people in the court to use for me. At the same time, we will secretly win over some generals from the Imperial Forest Army and the Habayashi Army. We will gradually expand our influence in the court and gradually control the power of the court. Then Liu Bian Xiaoer is probably still thinking about having fun now, and he will obey our orders obediently in the future."

Dong Zhuo finally calmed down his anger and began to think about other strategies, but Li Ru said again: "Lord Yuezhang, then Lu Bu was dismissed from the military by the Holy Majesty and is not allowed to join the Han army. Will the Lord take him in?"

"Of course we have to take him in, why not take him in? Although he can no longer join the army, he can become the official's bodyguard, which is still of great use." Dong Zhuo didn't care about the imperial decree of the young emperor Liu Bian, and he was determined to win for Lu Bu.

"My son already knew that Lord Yuezhang would take in Lu Bu, so he has already sent Li Su to take him and a group of subordinates into the small courtyard in Luoyang City. I wonder if the Lord wants to see him now?"

"Not for the time being, he killed Ding Yuan, and he is regretting it right now. If you try to persuade him to surrender, it may backfire. It's better to let him be quiet for a few days, so that he will gradually change from guilt towards Ding Yuan to I miss that woman, and when the time comes, we will find another beautiful woman for him to comfort him, and it will be easy for him to surrender."

"My lord is still thoughtful, but in the past few days, Li Su can often go to drink with him and do his ideological work slowly." Li Ru nodded and smiled beside him.

"Reporting to Taiwei, a big incident happened in Luoyang City just now, which caused a sensation in the whole Luoyang City." At this time, a subordinate of Taiwei's Mansion came in a hurry.

"What big event happened in Luoyang City?" Dong Zhuo was very interested.

"It's a group of generals from the Yulin Army. They went into the brothel in Luoyang City to find prostitutes. They clashed with other guests and fought. They were later arrested by the patrolling Yulin Army. They fought with the Yulin Army again, but in the end it was still I was arrested, and I heard that the Holy One was furious, and I have sent several commanders of the Habayashi Army to pick him up."

"What? There is such a thing. The Habayashi Army is the personal guard of the emperor. They are responsible for the safety of the capital. This is still an opportunity for us." Dong Zhuo smiled, a little unfathomable, but Li Ru next to him could more or less guess some of his thoughts.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo assigned the affairs of the general camp to Hua Xiong, and he and Li Ru went back to the Taiwei's Mansion in Luoyang City, and then asked people to inquire further.

"Lord Taiwei, what happened is now clear. It is the same as what I said before. However, these officers were caught by the Yulin Army and gave them a hard lesson. Afterwards, the Holy Majesty ordered the commanders of each battalion of the Habayashi Army to take them back and strictly discipline them. We just heard the news that all these people were stripped naked by the generals of the Habayashi Army battalions, only wearing obscene trousers, hanging at the gate of the barracks for public display."

"What? They can think of such a shameful punishment. It's better to kill those people. Let me ask you, if the Taiwei stripped your clothes and hung you outside the gate of the mansion, would you hate me? Dong Zhuo suddenly asked the people around him while thinking.

"Well, if the subordinates make mistakes, they dare not hate you." These subordinates murmured for a long time, and finally someone spoke.

"Yes, if we are at fault, how dare you hate your lord?" Others followed suit.

"Hmph, I'm just assuming such a situation, and it's not a test for you. Tell me the truth. If you are subjected to such a humiliation, will you hate the person who humiliated you in your heart? Tell the truth. "Dong Zhuo stared.

"Back to the adults, there should be some."

"There will be a little hate."

"That's right, you are still like this, let alone those men in the army. After they have suffered such a shame and humiliation, they must also hate the commander in the army, and this is our opportunity. Li Ru, arrange some people in the mansion Subjects, let them come down and quietly contact the generals of the Habayashi Army who have been humiliated today. Don't reveal their identities, and listen to what they said together. If you observe that they have resentment towards the commanders of the battalions, you can contact them directly. Even bring them to see the official."

"Master Yue Zhang wants to use these people to break into the battalions of the Habayashi Army? This is indeed a good opportunity. But what happened to them, will they be reused in the battalions in the future?" Li Ru Immediately understood Dong Zhuo's thoughts.

"Such a mistake is such a big mistake. Men in the army seldom have contact with women. What is sex with prostitutes? Their most serious crime is fighting with the Imperial Forest Army, and this punishment is too serious. As for their ability It will not be affected, and they should be equally valuable in the army. However, with the secret support of the Taiwei in the future, it will be easier for them to obtain military merit, and there is no problem with promotion."

Sure enough, after a few days, the generals of the Yulin Army regained their freedom, and they could still go in and out of the taverns and brothels in Luoyang City, but they often gathered together.

"Things are promising, you can contact them now." After hearing the report, Dong Zhuo immediately issued an order.

"Generals, the villain is a subject of the Taiwei's mansion. After the Taiwei heard about your experience, he deeply sympathized with you. You are all heroes who have made contributions to the country, but it's just sex with prostitutes. What a big deal Well. The Yulin Army relied on their being favored by the Holy One and did whatever they wanted in Luoyang City. Even heroes like you dared to insult them. I feel deeply sorry for you. Especially the commanders of the battalions of the Yulin Army were afraid that the Holy One would punish them, so let the generals Suffering all the humiliation, Lord Taiwei feels that he really shouldn't."

"Thank you, Lord Taiwei, for defending us. We regret why we didn't have a leader like Lord Taiwei. Now we really have no face to face others. But sooner or later we will seek justice with our own hands, and return those who gave us shame. return."

"The Taiwei actually appreciates the generals very much. If the generals don't dislike them, I would like to invite the generals to the Taiwei's mansion on behalf of the Taiwei. The Taiwei really wants to see the generals."
