In Luoyang, the former General's residence was already filled with soldiers. The tall soldiers of the Western Liang army stood in the residence with a murderous aura!
The entire former General's residence was heavily guarded. Warhorses neighed, and Western Liang soldiers could be seen everywhere!
As a former general of the Great Han Empire and one of the top five generals in the Han Army, Dong Zhuo held a high position in the Han Army.
He naturally had a former general's residence in Luoyang, but he had not lived there for many years.
Dong Zhuo had treated his former general's residence as the base camp of the Western Liang army. He did not have the guts to arrogantly move into the palace!
"My lord, we already have 50,000 Imperial Army soldiers under our control, but there are still more people waiting to see!”Niu Fu said in a deep voice!
The majestic figure stood in the hall with a different kind of might, but very few people knew how powerful he was!
"Fifty thousand? That means that there are still more than 50,000 Imperial Army soldiers who are not under our control, and there are also 20,000 West Garden Army soldiers!”Dong Zhuo shouted angrily. His large black face was filled with a gloomy expression!
The first thing Dong Zhuo did after entering Luoyang was to annex all of Luoyang's Imperial Army!
Now that Great General He Jin had been killed and Luoyang's Imperial Army was leaderless, it was the best opportunity!
But now, it seemed that the progress was not going well. There were still people who were not convinced by him, the former general! Even if they were to take in the imperial edict, half of the Imperial Army was still hesitating!
This made Dong Zhuo very angry. This matter could not be delayed. He had to take control of all the Imperial Army soldiers as soon as possible!
"Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!”Dong Zhuo said with a gloomy face.
He would never show mercy to those Imperial Army generals who didn't know what was good for them! At this moment, he had to cut the Gordian knot quickly and kill those generals to forcefully take over all of Luoyang's Imperial Army!
"Understood!" Niu Fu said in a deep voice. Although his brain would sometimes cramp, he still had the ability. Otherwise, he would not have been trusted by Dong Zhuo and commanded more than 10,000 Hedong soldiers!
"My lord, other than the Imperial Army and the West Garden Army in Luoyang, we have to guard against the Bingzhou Army outside Luoyang! Ding Jianyang sent someone to pass on the message that he wanted the Western Liang Army to withdraw from Luoyang!”Li Ru said solemnly.
His face was very solemn. Although the Hedong Army had successfully entered Luoyang, there was a lot of trouble. It was not easy to truly stand firm!
"Humph! That Ding Yuan fellow is simply courting death. How dare he point fingers at me? He's even my subordinate! If I had known earlier, I would have chopped off his head first!”Dong Zhuo slammed the table angrily!
Their hearts were filled with killing intent. Ever since the Western Liang army entered Luoyang, they had been too gentle to some people. They had forgotten that the Western Liang army's reputation was built on the battlefield!
However, in truth, Dong Zhuo was also a little wary of the Bingzhou Army. Unlike the Imperial Army in Luoyang, the Western Liang Army and the Bingzhou Army were both the three great border armies of the Great Han Dynasty!
They had all fought on the battlefield. Although the Bingzhou Army was not as famous as the Western Liang Army, their reputation had also been built by fighting with the Xiongnu!
If they really started a war with the Bingzhou Army, that was definitely not what Dong Zhuo wanted!
"Sigh, it's a pity that we don't have enough troops now. If only Zhong Wu had arrived!”Dong Zhuo sighed.
At this moment, he only had 30,000 Hedong Army soldiers under him. The 50,000 Imperial Army soldiers that he had just incorporated were not enough for him to use in a short period of time!
If there was a mutiny in Luoyang, his 30,000 Hedong Army would be in dire straits! There were also 20,000 soldiers of Bingzhou Province waiting outside the city!
To Dong Zhuo, every step was filled with danger!
Therefore, he could only hope that Meng Qian would lead his army over quickly. With Meng Qian's Western Liang Army and the Hedong Army under his command!
Then he would have nearly 100,000 Western Liang cavalry. At that time, even if he had to face an army of 200,000 to 300,000, Dong Zhuo would not be afraid!
Western Liang's cavalry was the strongest army in the world. No force could stop their charge!
If the Imperial Army couldn't do it, then the 20,000 soldiers of Bingzhou couldn't either!
Therefore, the moment Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he sent an imperial edict to Meng Qian. However, he only had 30,000 Hedong Army soldiers in Luoyang!
"If everything is normal, Zhong Wu should have passed Hangu Pass by now. It will take another two days to reach Luoyang!”Li Ru said softly.
However, water from afar could not quench one's thirst. Two days was enough for many things to happen! Li Ru had to ensure that the situation in Luoyang would last until Meng Qian arrived!
"We have a lot of confidence in taking in the Imperial Army, but the Bingzhou Army outside the city is a problem!”Li Ru said solemnly.
At this moment, a counselor named Li Su came forward and said,""Lord, Military Advisor, I have a plan to deal with the Bingzhou Army!”
Seeing Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looking over, Li Su softly said,"Ding Yuan has an adopted son called Lu Bu. He is very strong in martial arts! His prestige in the army is very high!"
"However, he was appointed as the main registrar by Ding Yuan and was quite dissatisfied with Ding Yuan!”
······
Li Su's plan aroused the interest of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, and they began to plan!
Elsewhere in Luoyang, there were also people plotting. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Bao Hong, and some other Imperial Army generals had secretly gathered together!
"Dong Zhuo's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. He privately issued an imperial edict and has already taken over fifty thousand soldiers of the Imperial Army. It won't be long before the entire Luoyang falls into his hands!”Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.
"We can't let this continue. Dong Zhuo's ambition is even more terrifying than those eunuchs!”Cao Cao said softly, his sharp eyes flashing.
"Gather all the troops in Luoyang and contact Ding Jianyang outside the city. Take advantage of the fact that the Hedong Army has yet to gain a stable foothold and chase them out of Luoyang!”Yuan Shao's fist hit the table as he shouted in a deep voice!
"That's right!" Yuan Shao's suggestion received everyone's response!
Since they dared to charge into the palace and kill the eunuchs, they naturally dared to kill Dong Zhuo again!
However, everyone had different opinions on the timing of the attack. Cao Cao felt that they should act immediately!
However, Yuan Shao felt that they were lacking in manpower. They could only control a portion of the West Garden Army and some Imperial Army. There were less than 30,000 troops in total. Their chances of winning against the Hedong Army were not high!
They should contact more people!
In the end, it was still Yuan Shao who relied on his prestige to obtain everyone's recognition!
Looking at the excited Yuan Shao, Cao Cao sighed in his heart,""This brat is not worth scheming with!"
