Chapter 233

As a result, Huangfu Chaobo asked Dianwei to lead two hundred shield soldiers and one hundred forbidden guards to open the way in front, Chen Jing to lead one hundred shield soldiers and one hundred forbidden guards to the back of the motorcade, and the other soldiers were scattered on both sides of the twenty carriages. At the same time, Huangfu Chaobo asked Xiaojie to sprinkle the players out and inquire about the situation of the motorcade in advance. Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo was so generous and handed over Zhao Zhongzhai to him, Fengyun immediately asked people to lead 100 players to help Xiaojie. With the help of these 100 players, Huangfu Chaobo gave up the practice of detour, because now there are not many troops left in front of the palace gate, and they have basically gone to fight in the palace. For Huangfu Chaobo and his party, time is life. According to the historical process, Dong Zhuo should be near the outside of Luoyang and will enter the city soon. Once he enters the city, it will be difficult for Huangfu Chaobo's more than 20 carriages to go out. He must leave the city as soon as possible. With the guard of more than 100 players, nearly 1000 soldiers in Huangfu Chao Bo's hands, if they meet small soldiers on the road, they will roll over directly. If they meet the big wave soldiers, they have the player's prior notice. Huangfu Chao Bo believes that his team should be able to avoid. After thinking about this, Huangfu Chaobo led the motorcade to the south along the wall of the Imperial City, and then to the east along the street in front of the imperial city. As Huangfu Chaobo had expected, he met several Boshi soldiers, who were killed by Dian Wei. They arrived at Dongyang gate in a hurry. After showing the exit token of Sili Xiaowei's residence to Chengmen Xiaowei, and then handing over 50 gold tea money, Huangfu Chaobo and his party finally got out of Luoyang Chengmen. Looking at the city gate slowly closed behind him, and Luoyang city full of fire everywhere, Huangfu Chaobo was finally relieved.

"Goodbye, Luoyang... I'll be back in a few months, but what will you look like then? " With a long sigh of relief, Huangfu Chaobo looked at the hundreds of soldiers and twenty carriages around him and said to Chen Jing, "let's go to Chenjia village to get the horses, and then we'll go home."

"Go home..." The crowd responded loudly;

when Huangfu Chaobo and others left the city, the battle in the palace was coming to an end. Hu Ben Zhonglang killed yuan Shutong's soldiers in the imperial city. He killed them when he saw people. He also set fire to the Nangong palace and chased Zhang rang and others. Zhang rang and Duan Si, a member of zhongchangshi, hijacked Liu Bian and Liu Xie, the young emperor, and fled to xiaopingjin (now southwest of Gongxian County, Henan Province) at the Yellow River Ferry in the middle of the night. At this time, Dong Zhuo's army had passed Hangu pass. Dong Zhuo yuan, who was on the March, saw a sea of fire in the capital. Knowing that the situation had changed, he immediately sent people to Luoyang to inquire about the news. After hearing that the young emperor was near Beimang mountain, Dong Zhuo quickly led his troops to Luoyang. The young emperor was terrified and tearful by the army. Dong Zhuo, majestic, swaggered forward to see the young emperor, and asked him about the incident. The young emperor stammered and incoherent, but Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who was standing on one side, took the initiative to tell Dong Zhuo about the whole incident. The narration was unambiguous and clear. Dong Zhuo was very happy. He thought that Liu Xie was much better than Liu Bian, and because he was raised by Empress Dowager Dong himself, he had the initial idea of deposing Liu Bian and supporting Liu Xie.

After Dong Zhuo welcomed Liu Bian to the Imperial Palace, he began to intervene in the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty with the emperor's command. Dong Zhuo, who had been fighting for a long time, deeply realized that if he wanted to conquer all the officials and control the imperial court, he must have a strong military backing. When he first arrived in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's subordinates had no more than 5000 troops. In order to have a strong military deterrent effect on Luoyang at the beginning, he ordered his subordinates to sneak out of Luoyang at night every four or five days. The next morning, he marched into Luoyang again. The war drums were shaking and the banners were waving. It was like a steady stream of troops. All the people in Luoyang, including the officials of the imperial court, were frightened by Dong Zhuo's powerful strength and did not dare to commit any deviant behavior.

Although the illusion can temporarily confuse people, it will eventually be seen through. Of course, Dong Zhuo's move can only be an expedient measure. After a slight adjustment, he began to take practical actions to expand his forces and take over military power. After general He Jin was killed by Zhang rang, Wu Kuang, the leader of his trilogy, had a deep resentment against He Jin's younger brother he Miao, who was then a general of motorcycles. He thought he Miao was unwilling to cooperate with He Jin, and suspected that he was colluding with Zhang rang to deal with He Jin. Wu kuangnian, he Jin, was kind to himself and vowed to kill he Miao and avenge him. He mobilized his soldiers and told them, "it's general he Miao who killed the general in collusion with Zhang rang. We must avenge the general!" So he joined hands with Dong min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, to attack and kill he Miao. After he Miao's death, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the fishermen and recruited the troops of He Jin and he Miao.

Ten days later, zhijinwu led Bingzhou to assassinate Ding Yuan. After the death of emperor Hanling, he Jin invited him to Luoyang to kill Shichang Shi. Unfortunately, after he led the army to Luoyang, the city of Luoyang was under the control of Dong Zhuo's army. After that, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo had a conflict, and Dong Zhuo induced Lv Bu to kill him and annex his people. With the annexation of general he Miao's troops, Dong Zhuo became powerful. He deposed Shaodi, killed empress dowager he, and established Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Later, Tai Wei of Dong Zhuo Qian led the army and became Marquis of the Han Dynasty. He forced Yuan Shao and others to take over military and political power.

When Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, he indulged his soldiers in plundering property and women in the city, which was called "search prison". At the same time, he restored the reputation of the party members and used literati to win over the people.Dong Zhuo used his privileges to promote and appoint a large number of Party members, such as Zhou Bi, Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, Wu Qiong, Minister of official affairs, Zheng Gongye, chief Shi He GUI, and Sikong Wu. Not only that, as long as they were the party prisoners related to the above-mentioned personnel, Dong Zhuo called them lieqing. For a while, "most of the people who were secluded and stagnant were obviously pulled out.". Cai Yong, a great literary scholar of that dynasty, was also recruited by Dong Zhuo.

At the beginning, Cai Yong was exiled from Shuofang because he wrote to the emperor. Later, he was pardoned and returned to his hometown. Wang Zhi, a local official, originally had a personal grudge with Cai Yong, so he impeached Cai Yong for his remarks against the Pang government. Cai Yong was forced to run away from home and roam the rivers and lakes for 12 years. Dong Zhuo had heard of Cai Yong's fame and talent for a long time, so he specially recruited him to be an official in Beijing. Cai Yong didn't want to be involved in politics any more, so he politely refused. Dong Zhuo threatened Cai Yong: "if you don't obey, I will kill you all." Cai Yong was afraid and had to go back to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and appointed him as a sacrificial wine. He respected Cai Yong very much. Later, he was promoted to his official position. Within three days, Cai Yong went through the "three platforms" and became an official in court.

Dong Zhuo not only arranged his own forces in various departments of the central government, but also instilled local forces by appointing Taishou and assassin. For example, at that time, Yingchuan Taishou Kong was appointed as Yuzhou assassin, Yuan Shao as Bohai Taishou, and Yuan Shu as Nanyang Taishou, so as to appease local forces. In this way, Dong Zhuo has basically controlled the main political forces of the central and local governments through the arrangement of ears and eyes at all levels. As long as the officials who are dissatisfied with him make a little move, he will ruthlessly eradicate them, kill the chickens and frighten the monkeys, and deter the government and the opposition.
