    Liao Hua pointed at the charred corpse on the ground, frowned, and asked angrily: "If you take a closer look, is this guy really not Zhou Cang?"

    The prisoner knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "General, these guys are really not the master of Zhou Village. They just occupied our village yesterday. It is said that the leader is called Pei Yuanshao!"

    "Pei Yuanshao?" Liao Hua repeated, looking at the piece of coke in surprise, "Is he Pei Yuanshao?!"

    Seeing the prisoner nodding, Liao Hua punched the wall fiercely, "It's Pei Yuanshao again, he was the one who delayed my meritorious service last time, and this time he's the impostor! This kid, if he doesn't delay my meritorious service, he will die.  ah!"

    "Thathe is indeed dead!" One of his men whispered, unable to help but laugh.

    Liao Hua was speechless, and then said angrily: "You are such a bastard, what about Zhou Cang, where did he go? This guy is so unreliable, he actually gave up his bedroom to others!"

    The prisoner quickly said: "Zhou Village Master gave up the village yesterday and left with three hundred old, weak, women and children. I have a brother who left with him. It is said that the village master will find a righteous man to be his eldest brother, and he will do so in the future.  Come back!"

    Liao Hua sneered: "He knows the current affairs, and he just finds an excuse to run away. Is he too righteous? Such a person would accept an unsuccessful bandit like him as his younger brother. What a joke! Come on, please count our seizures immediately.  After everyone has left the stronghold, they will burn it down!"

    Soon, Cao Ang also received the news that Zhou Cang escaped and Pei Yuanshao was burned to death. He sighed secretly in his heart: No wonder Zhou Cang took the initiative to defect to Guan Yu in the future and found this leading brother.  Oh, forget it, it¡¯s going to rain and my mother wants to get married, so let it be.  Although some time was wasted these days, the road was cleared and the prestige of the Cao family was established.  When the war breaks out in the future, I believe that the Cao family's logistics vehicles can be transported from Qiao County to Chenliu without any hindrance, and the Cao family's loot can also be safely transferred from Chenliu to Qiao County.  In this way, my time will not be in vain!

    Two days later, all the spoils of war were processed, and the soldiers who voluntarily joined Cao's army also underwent simple training and formation.  Cao Ang left Niu Zhi here to take charge of the aftermath, and Cao Duan here to assist and recover from his injuries.  He led Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Liao Hua and others, and led the Cao family army, which had been expanded to 500 men, to Chenliu.

    Half a month later, Cao Ang and others resisted Chen Liu and set up camp under the city. Cao Hong brought goods into the city to sell, while Cao Ang and others sent out scouts to inquire about information.  Although he has not received any news from Cao Cao, he also knows about several major events that have happened in Beijing recently.

    It turns out that Dong Zhuo relied on his strong military power and decided to depose and establish the emperor in order to establish his own authority.  He arrogantly said to the ministers in the court: "The lord of the world should be a wise man. Although the late emperor was smart, he was very disappointing. Now your majesty seems to be following the late emperor's trend, which makes me very disappointed! I heard that Chen  Liu Xie, the remaining king, is very wise and mighty, so why not make him the emperor? If everyone has no objections, then so be it! If even Liu Xie cannot be the emperor, then the old Liu family should not occupy the throne!"

    As soon as he said this, he clearly wanted to usurp the throne of the Han Dynasty, and the crowd suddenly became excited and expressed their opposition.

    Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and more than a hundred soldiers immediately poured out from the vicinity of the main hall. They were all wearing iron armor and holding sharp swords. At a glance, they knew they were Dong Zhuo's confidants.

    Everyone was silent at that moment. Only Yuan Shao broke away from Cao Cao's pull, strode out, and said loudly: "I have been a great man for more than four hundred years, and my kindness is widespread and supported by all the people. Your Majesty is still young now.  There are no reports of any evil deeds. If the general deposed his legitimate son (referring to Liu Bian) and replaced him with a concubine (Liu Xie), who in the world would agree?!"

    Liu Bian¡¯s ascension to the throne was also due to the contributions of Yuan Shao and others.  If General He Jin had not had the support of scholars like them, Liu Xie, who was deeply favored by Emperor Ling, would have been more likely to ascend the throne.  Now if Dong Zhuo changes his position to Liu Xie, he will not only control the government, but also severely slap the face of these aristocratic families.  Moreover, Liu Xie is no longer young and will definitely remember the previous disputes. If he ascends the throne, he may take revenge on Yuan Shao and the others.  Therefore, although Dong Zhuo had the advantage, Yuan Shao still jumped out.

    Dong Zhuo was furious, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and rebuked loudly: "Who are you? How dare you treat me like this?! The world is under my control. I can do whatever I want. Who dares to resist?  !Don¡¯t think that my Dong Zhuo¡¯s sword is not sharp enough!¡±

    Yuan Shao was also so angry that he actually laughed on the spot: "Among the heroes in the world, don't you be the only one, Mr. Dong? I, Yuan Benchu, am not talented, and I also have a sharp blade at my waist!"

    After saying that, Yuan Shao patted the saber on his waist and asked Dong ZhuoHe cupped his hands and walked away!

    Dong Zhuo was frightened by him. When Yuan Shao walked out of the hall, Dong Zhuo realized that he wanted to send people to chase him immediately.

    At this time, Cao Cao stepped forward and said to Dong Zhuo in a low voice: "Dong Gong has just arrived in Luoyang, so he may not understand it yet. Brother Benchu's family has four generations and three princes, and they are very prestigious. They have old stories in various states and counties. If Dong Gong is executed without teaching, the world will be in trouble."  turbulent."

    Dong Zhuo's anger subsided somewhat after being persuaded by Cao Cao.

    And when Yuan Shao walked out of the palace, he also broke out in a cold sweat.  He didn't dare to stay longer, so he quickly jumped on the horse and ran wildly.  Before leaving the city gate, Yuan Shao hung the talisman issued by the court near the east gate, deceived three post horses, and then left for Jizhou.

    Dong Zhuo was furious and immediately ordered Yuan Shao to be wanted.  Wu Qiong knew the details of the Yuan family and quickly stood up and said to Dong Zhuo: "The important matter of deposing an emperor is not something that ordinary people can understand. Yuan Shao just doesn't know the general situation and ran away because of fear. He has no intention of fighting against Ming Gong. If he is wanted  If he is too impatient, he will inevitably cause trouble. The four generations of the Yuan family have spread their kindness, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world. If Yuan Shao recruits heroes and builds up his troops, all the heroes will take advantage of the momentum. At that time, Guandong may not be under the control of Ming Gong  Come on, so it¡¯s better to pardon him and give him the responsibility of being a county magistrate, then he will be happy to be exempted and will not cause trouble."

    Zhou Ao also advised Dong Zhuo: "Yuan Shao is easy to judge and has no plans, so there is nothing to worry about. Wu Qiong is right. Let him be the prefect of the county, he will not cause trouble, and we can win the hearts of the people."

    Dong Zhuo felt that what the two men said had some truth, so he appointed Yuan Shao as the governor of Bohai and gave him the title of Marquis of Tongxiang.

    Wu Qiong and Zhou Ao recommended Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Miao, Zhang Zi, Zhang Miao and others to Yuan Shao. Dong Zhuo followed suit and made these people governors of prefectures and counties.  In addition, Dong Zhuo's previous recruitment of Cai Yong also improved his reputation.

    Seeing that the scholars were paying more compliments to him, Dong Zhuo relapsed into his old habit of arrogance. He felt that the time was ripe for establishing another emperor, so he gathered all the civil and military officials and announced rudely: "The emperor (Liu Bian) is weak.  If you are incapable of holding power, you should not be the master of the world. Now I plan to follow the precedents of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, to abolish the position of emperor and replace it with King Chen Liu. What do you think?"

    As he said that, the Xiliang soldiers surrounding him drew their swords and looked at the courtiers menacingly, as if they were about to pounce on them!

    Everyone was silent and did not dare to express their opinions.  Even a brave man like Cao Cao was unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices and could only hang his head.

    Looking at Lu Bu holding Fang Tian's painted halberd at his side, Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said loudly: "In the past, Huo Guang decided to dethrone the emperor. Tian Yannian held his sword and was ready to go. If anyone dared to object, he would engage in military law. Now I am with Dong Zhuo.  There is also a child who obeys orders, exactly the same!"

    Everyone present was shocked. Only Shangshu Lu Zhi couldn't stand Dong Zhuo's arrogance. He strode out from the crowd, raised his hands to Dong Zhuo and said loudly: "In the past, Prince Taijia ascended the throne and was ignorant and ignorant.  Yin Cai banished him; after Liu He became emperor, he was accused of thousands of crimes, and Huo Guangcai had to depose him. Now that the emperor is still young and has no wrongdoing, how can Dong Gong cite precedents and feel that deposing the emperor  It¡¯s very inappropriate!¡±

    "Good!" Many people in the crowd did not dare to come out to argue with Dong Zhuo. After hearing Lu Zhi's words, they all couldn't help but praise loudly.

    Dong Zhuo's face sank, and his hand rested on the hilt of the sword.  Cai Yong hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Dong Zhuo: "Lu Zhi is a great scholar in the country and is very famous. Everyone respects him very much. Now if Duke Ming is unfavorable to him and spreads it, it will damage Duke Ming's prestige!"

    Yilang Peng Bo also saw Dong Zhuo's resentment and hurriedly stepped forward to echo: "If Mr. Dong is angry and kills Lu Zhi today, it will give him a reputation for loyalty. Later history books will inevitably misunderstand Mr. Dong!  Sir, for the sake of future generations, you must not kill him!"

    Cao Cao was also a human spirit, and he quickly whispered in the crowd: "If Mr. Dong dares to kill Lu Zhi today, and kills me and others in the future, will he still have any concerns?!"

    Hearing what he said, everyone fell to the ground and begged for Lu Zhi's mercy.

    Dong Zhuo didn't expect so many people to plead for Lu Zhi, so he let it go and dismissed Lu Zhi.  Lu Zhi was so impassioned today that he thought he would not be able to escape his life. But now that he saw Dong Zhuo dismissing him from his post, while the ministers were begging for mercy from Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi suddenly became disheartened and begged to return home because of his old illness.

    Now that Lu Zhi is gone, no one dares to openly oppose him.  Dong Zhuo then handed over the memorial to abolish the emperor and asked for his opinion.  Yuan Wei didn't dare to object, so he replied in agreement very respectfully.

    So on September 1st, during the court meeting in Chongde Palace, under Dong Zhuo's pressure, Empress Dowager He issued an edict to depose Liu Bian and appoint Liu Xie as his successor.?.  In order to win Dong Zhuo's trust and restore the new emperor's impression of the Yuan family, Yuan Wei personally stepped forward to untie Liu Bian's seal and handed it to Liu Xie.  Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and Chongde Hall burst into tears
