"Let Dong Cheng return to Luoyang? Father-in-law, the rebels have been defeated for a while, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have not been defeated yet. If Dong Cheng returns to Luoyang at this time, I'm afraid that the rebels will have an opportunity to take advantage of it!”
Li Ru, who received the news, was shocked.
Although…
Luoyang was only fifty li away from Tiger Cage Pass.
However, it still took a day for a fast horse to travel fifty miles.
When the news reached Luoyang, Dong Cheng would need more than a day to go to Hulao Pass from Luoyang.
Dong Cheng was not in Tiger Cage Pass, so he had no leader, let alone whether Tiger Cage Pass could be defended.
It was hard to predict whether Li Jue and Guo Si would meet with any mishaps.
"This, but this old man has already promised Your Majesty. It's not good to go back on my word at this time!”
Dong Zhuo also knew that he was too happy.
He only wanted Dong Cheng to come back and put on a show in the imperial court so that Liu Xie and the civil and military officials could see the Dong Clan's Saint Child. He did not think too much about it!
After all.
Even the 200,000 alliance army had been defeated. Even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were still around, they probably wouldn't be able to cause much trouble!
"Why don't we let Fengxian go to Tiger Cage Pass temporarily?”
Dong Zhuo thought of his adopted son, Lu Bu.
It was time for Lu Bu to return to Luoyang.
Letting Lu Bu go to Tiger Cage Pass to take over Dong Cheng's position while Dong Cheng went back to Luoyang to receive the title, Dong Zhuo felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.
An adopted son was still an adopted son, how could he be closer to his own clansmen?
Although Dong Zhuo himself was a foreign general, he still thought that foreign generals were like court officials.
Letting Lu Bu replace Dong Cheng wasn't because he thought Lu Bu could do better than Dong Cheng.
It was because Lu Bu was his adopted son, and it was his honor to guard Tiger Cage Pass.
And Dong Cheng was a clansman of his own clan. Naturally, he would return to Luoyang to be promoted and enjoy glory and wealth!
"It's inappropriate!"
"Dong Cheng's soldiers might not be convinced by Duting Hou. Furthermore, changing generals at the last minute is a great taboo for the militarists!”
Dong Zhuo was lying on a soft couch.
He was getting fatter and fatter, and he felt tired after standing for a long time.
"Then what should we do? I can't possibly tell His Majesty that Dong Cheng isn't coming back, right?”
Li Ru was somewhat helpless.
Dong Zhuo was throwing away his responsibilities.
Anyway, you, Li Ru, are my son-in-law and my military advisor. You are naturally the one to think of the strategy!
"Why don't we ask Dong Cheng for his opinion first?”
"If Dong Cheng thinks that it will be fine even if we return to Luoyang, then we will return to Luoyang.”
Li Ru did not have any good ideas and could only push it to Dong Cheng.
"I'll leave this matter to you. Wenyou, I'm sleepy!”
......
Grand Tutor Manor.
Yuan Huai wrote a secret letter and asked his trusted aide to leave Luoyang and take a small path to the camp of the alliance army to attack Dong Jun.
Dong Cheng returning to Luoyang was good news for the alliance army.
Yuan Huai did not say much.
He believed that with his nephew's standards, he would definitely be able to judge the suitable battle opportunity!
......
Situ Manor.
Zhang Liao, who was dressed in military uniform, went straight to Wang Yun's backyard.
"Wang Situ, Marquis Duting sent me to greet him. He has already defeated Western Liang's Ma Teng. When can he marry Diao Chan?”
Zhang Liao was a fierce general in the army, and he did not have the literary grace of a civil official like Wang Yun.
He directly stated his intentions.
Wang Yun sighed.
"Little general, please tell Duting Hou that this old man is sorry about Diao Chan. Let's forget about this marriage!”
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment and immediately became furious. He pulled out his saber and said,"You dare to humiliate Du Ting Hou?"
Wang Yun hurriedly explained," Little General, it's not that I want to humiliate Marquis Duting. I really have no choice!" General Pingdong sent someone to tell me yesterday that he has taken a fancy to my daughter Diao Chan. If Little General doesn't believe me, you can ask around. Wei Yang Lord Dong Bai has already asked about my daughter for many days.”
"This old master has been hiding all this while, not allowing Diao Chan to come out. But now, General Pingdong has directly stated that he wants Diao Chan. This old man is just a small Situ, and I can't afford to offend him!”
"In the court today, the Prime Minister has already requested that General Pingdong be appointed as the General of the Eastern Expedition. His Majesty has also agreed and even asked the General of the Eastern Expedition to return to Luoyang to hear the appointment.”
Wang Yun's voice was filled with tears, and his acting skills were comparable to that of a movie king.
Zhang Liao was stunned by the threat and his anger instantly erupted."This is too much! I'll go back and report to Du Ting Hou. Wang Yun, you'd better not play any tricks. No one can stop the woman that Du Ting Hou wants to marry!”
Zhang Liao left angrily.
Wang Yun wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and returned to normal in an instant.
"Humph! A bunch of idiots!"
"Dong Cheng, Lu Bu, I'll let the two of you fight amongst yourselves!”
"I, Wang Yun, will save the Great Han Dynasty!”
Wang Yun was proud.
The original plan only had Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.
However, after Dong Bai asked about Diao Chan many times, Wang Yun guessed that Dong Cheng also coveted Diao Chan.
He didn't know how Dong Cheng knew about Diao Chan's existence.
But this did not affect Wang Yun's plan!
Wang Yun called the servant over.
"Go to the city gate and wait. Once General Pingdong enters the city, immediately inform this old man!”
