Chapter 65 Dong Zhuo and Li Ru: Why does my face hurt a little?
Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's residence.
Li Ru was here, talking to Dong Zhuo about moving the capital.
“Father-in-law, now that the matter of moving the capital has been decided, it must be implemented as soon as possible.
Wang Yun is a pretty good person.
His status and influence are far inferior to those of the Hongnong Yang Family, so they let him replace Yang Biao as Situ..."
It was naturally not easy for Dong Zhuo to move the capital, and many people argued and strongly opposed it.
Among them, Si Tu Yang Biao and Taiwei Huang Wan had the most intense reactions.
Then...the two were stripped of their official positions by Dong Zhuo, who used his power to suppress the voices of opposition.
Dong Zhuo thought for a while after hearing this, then nodded and said, "We can only choose a general from among the dwarfs. Let Wang Yun be the prime minister, and let the emperor and other ministers go to Chang'an tomorrow."
When Dong Zhuo said about picking a general from among the short men, he was not referring to talent, but to people who were willing to work for him.
There are many capable and popular civil servants in Luoyang, but not many of them are willing to work hard for him.
In comparison, Wang Yun is still very good.
After this matter was settled, some more discussion was given on moving the capital, and the topic turned to the Kanto Allied Forces.
Then, it was Hua Xiong's turn again.
" This time, Wenyou, you handled it well. You not only balanced both parties, but also further strengthened the power in my hands, and you also made sure that Lu Bu couldn't find any fault.
With these two thousand Northern troops at Hua Xiong's place, he will no longer go out to fight.
Wenyou, you are right. Moving the capital is a big deal now.
As for the Guandong coalition forces, their prestige had been greatly reduced by us thanks to Gong Wei's consecutive victories.
There is no need to take risks from now on, we just need to guard the pass well and move the capital with all our strength..."
When Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo say this , a smile appeared on his face.
He was quite .
In particular, using Gao Shun's Northern Army to exchange Xu Rong and sending him to Hua Xiong as a deputy general was a move that killed several birds with one stone.
Li Ru still feels comfortable when he thinks of Hua Xiong’s reaction that day.
The two were talking about how Hua Xiong had been staying obediently at Sishui Pass recently and had not been able to send out troops, when suddenly hurried footsteps were heard and someone came to report that there was good news from Governor Hua at Sishui Pass.
The smiles on Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's faces suddenly froze.
This slap in the face comes too fast!
The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other, both feeling indescribably awkward.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders here at the moment, and no one else knew what they had just said.
“Cough cough cough…”
Dong Zhuo coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment, then said, "Let someone in."
This man went out to pass the message, and a moment later someone came over with a box and a document reporting victory.
When he saw four boxes, Dong Zhuo sat up straighter.
It seems that Hua Xiong has made considerable gains this time, and it is another significant victory, which is beyond his expectations.
Dong Zhuo did not read the document reporting the victory, but opened a box first.
As soon as the box was opened and Dong Zhuo saw the head inside, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but stand up.
Li Ru, who was about to read the victory report, was startled by Dong Zhuo's sudden action.
I feel a little strange.
My father-in-law is a man who has seen the world, so how could he be so scared by a head?
He immediately turned around to look.
Then, the smile that was always on Li Ru's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes widened like Dong Zhuo.
Sun Jian?!
It was Sun Jian?!
Li Ru just felt a little confused for a moment.
After all, Sun Jian is an extremely capable fighter.
Before, his father-in-law wanted to send his only granddaughter, Dong Bai, to Sun Jian for marriage.
One was to make Sun Jian withdraw his troops, and the other was to win over Sun Jian.
Thirdly, he also wanted to use this opportunity to cause disputes among the Kanto coalition forces.
Although Sun Jian refused and the matter did not come to fruition, no matter what his father-in-law's purpose was, the fact that he could make his father-in-law have such thoughts was enough to show how strong Sun Jian was.
As a result, now, Sun Jian’s head appeared in front of them! ! !
Although they knew in their hearts when they saw the four boxes that Hua Xiong would achieve great results in this battle, the appearance of Sun Jian's head still completely stunned Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
"Is this Sun Jian's head?"
Dong Zhuo knew Sun Jian, but he couldn't help but ask Hua Xiong's men who delivered the victory report to confirm it.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it was Sun Jian, who was chopped off by my commander-in-chief himself..."
Dong Zhuo stood here, staring at Sun Jian's head for a long time before he sat down again.
But even so, I still feel a little dizzy.
It’s not that he can’t bear it, it’s just that the impact was too great!
At this time, Li Ru was quickly reading the victory report.
After a while, Dong Zhuo began to ask the person who reported the victory about the details...
After half an hour, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were the only ones left in the room.
The room was extremely quiet; the father-in-law and son-in-law sat in silence.
At this point, they already knew the details of the battle.
He also learned how capable Gao Shun and the two thousand Northern troops he led were.
This made the two men, who had been feeling very happy about successfully defeating Hua Xiong with Gao Shun not long ago, feel extremely complicated.
Even though both of them were not simple people, they both felt a little hot on their faces at this moment.
Is this a knock?
This means that Hua Xiong is being sent an extremely outstanding general, as well as a group of elite soldiers!
Even if Xu Rong was placed in the same position, he might not be able to do as well as Gao Shun this time!
The two of us actually made a collective mistake?
Gao Shun, who has always been a low-profile person, turned out to be so powerful!
Then he remembered that the reason Hua Xiong went out to fight this battle was because Gao Shun and the others' weapons were too simple, so he wanted to get them some better weapons. Then he broke into Tao Qian's camp and killed Sun Jian along the way...
The two of them were even more unable to describe their feelings.
"Father-in-law, from now on, Gong Wei must not be short of weapons, armor, and food, or he will do anything..."
After a while, Li Ru spoke up to break the silence.
Maybe it was because his mood had not yet completely calmed down, he even forgot to touch his beard out of habit.
Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement, indicating that what Li Ru said was right.
"Hahaha……"
After a while, Dong Zhuo suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud, his voice was very happy.
"Gong Wei fought beautifully in this battle!
There are still quite a few people who disagree with the relocation of the capital, so I will send Sun Jian's head out for them to see!"
Li Ru stroked his beard again, and said with a smile on his face: "Father-in-law is right. We really need to let these people meet Sun Jian."
After making the decision, Dong Zhuo immediately arranged people to do it.
After making all these arrangements, Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Father-in-law, how do you think we should reward Gong Wei this time?"
