A list of names appeared in Liu Bian's mind.
Qiao Mao, prefect of Dongjun.
Wang Kuang, prefect of Hanoi.
Wu Meng Duwei Ding Yuan.
These three people were the same as Dong Zhuo. They were all local warlords who had been invited by He Jin to go to the capital to eliminate the Ten Attendants of the Eternal.
However, compared to Fatty Dong, they were weaker and less ambitious. They were basically willing to listen to the imperial court.
Liu Bian knew this very well.
Although the overall military strength of the Imperial Capital was not weak, the composition was too chaotic.
The West Garden Army, the old troops of the General's Residence, the troops corrupted by the Ten Attendants, all kinds of mountains, even He Jin himself found it difficult to effectively integrate them.
This was also one of the main reasons why the Great General, who held military power, still wanted to mobilize foreign troops to destroy the eunuchs.
Therefore, even if he released Yuan Shao, who had great influence in both the West Garden Army and the Great General's Residence, it would not make much sense.
Since they could not count on the Imperial Capital's army, they could only set their sights outside the Imperial Capital.
Liu Bian had discussed with Lu Zhi before and learned that the Left General Huangfu Song was leading 30,000 troops stationed in Fufeng County.
This troop was undoubtedly his main force to fight against Dong Zhuo.
However, it would be difficult for Huangfu Song's troops to resist Dong Zhuo's troops, who were led by the fierce Xi Liang Army.
Under such circumstances, he had to mobilize the three warlords. This was the only way at the moment.
"Minister Lu, report the details of Qiao Mao, Wang Kuang, and Ding Yuan's troops."”
"Yes!"
Lu Zhi agreed seriously on the surface, but he was stunned on the inside.
Something was really wrong with His Majesty. A little Emperor who lived in the palace actually knew so many things!
Don't look at how Old Man Lu had just sent someone to deliver a message. In fact, this guy had been secretly seizing the time and had already quickly gathered a lot of information.
After beating around the bush with the eunuchs in the palace, he gradually ruled out the possibility that " His Majesty was impersonated."
The youth before him was undoubtedly Liu Bian himself!
"Could it be that it is really as I thought?"
Lu Zhi thought.
Old Man Lu's latest guess was that the Emperor's previous appearance was all an act, but in fact, he was wise and foolish. His purpose was to hide his strength and bide his time!
When the emperor was born, the empress dowager had placed him in a Taoist temple to raise him because the princes in the palace had died one after another.
And the Taoist temple's abbot, Shi Zimiao, had always been a mysterious figure.
Therefore, this guess was indeed based on evidence!
Liu Bian did not know what Old Man Lu was thinking. Even if he knew, he could not be bothered for the time being.
Right now, all his thoughts were on how to deal with Dong Zhuo.
Other than Huangfu Song's troops and the three warlords, he had to think of a way to organize some military forces.
It didn't matter how much power he could gather, even if it was just for peace of mind.
After all, it was really unreasonable to leave his fate in the hands of others.
Even if the other party was the loyal Huangfu Song, he still could not be completely at ease.
"When the time comes, let Gai Xun and Lu Zhi go out. Their ability to lead troops is guaranteed. In addition, if he had a military strategy-type talent to assist him, it would add another layer of insurance.”
Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately looked at Huan Dian."Are you sure that the old subordinates of the Great General's Estate are all under control?”
"Your Majesty, I can confirm that there is no mistake. According to His Majesty's orders, apart from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Wu Kuang, who were locked up in prison, all the other important personnel of the General's Residence, regardless of whether they had participated in the rebellion or not, were currently being detained in the General's Residence. Not a single one had escaped.”
Huan Dian answered truthfully.
Liu Bian thought for a moment and said,"Hmm…go to the General's Mansion and bring someone out for me."”
"Yes! May I know who Your Majesty is bringing?"
Huan Dian was stunned.
His Majesty even knew about the people in the General's Residence?
Just as he was in a daze, he heard a name:
"Xun You, Xun Gongda."
……
At this moment, north of the Imperial Capital.
The army that had been attacking finally stopped.
Dong Zhuo looked at the stubborn old man in front of him. His patience had finally reached its limit.
However, because he still had a trace of fear in his heart, he did not have the courage to completely fall out with the other party.
"This is your last warning. Go back immediately!”
Zhong Shao, the remonstrant, berated loudly.
Although the old man only had a few followers behind him, he was not afraid of the enemy's thousands of troops.
His thin and weak body displayed a majestic aura that could hold the pass alone.
"Doctor, this official is following the orders of the Great General's Residence to enter the capital to destroy the officials. Why should I stop you?”
Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth with the last bit of patience.
Zhong Shao was not frightened by the other party's ferocious expression at all. He said sternly,""This old man is also following the orders of the Great General Manor to order the Prefecture Overseer to immediately retreat!”
Just as the two sides were in a tense stalemate, a fast horse suddenly galloped over from afar.
A few seconds later, a knight holding an imperial edict appeared in front of him."By His Majesty's decree, by the Empress Dowager's decree, and Prefecture Overseer Dong Zhuo, immediately lead the troops back to the encampment. If you dare to take another step forward, you will be punished for treason!”
"What?!"
Dong Zhuo shuddered when he heard the stern tone of the decree.
It was actually an imperial edict personally issued by the Emperor?
According to his younger brother Dong Min, the Imperial Palace was already in chaos. How could the Emperor still have the time to issue an imperial decree?
Could it be fake?
Dong Zhuo hesitated.
If this imperial edict was real, he did not want to bear the crime of disobeying the imperial edict!
Fatty Dong's blood was no longer flowing with excitement.
The eyes of the strategist Li Ru behind him suddenly emitted a cold light!
