Ever since Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself Prime Minister, he has acted more unscrupulously. Dong Zhuo is no longer satisfied with the concubines in the harem and the maids in the palace. As long as they are women in Luoyang City, he will rape them at will.
Chaos, turmoil, the entire Luoyang has fallen into a haze, but there is one very special place, which is the only pure land left in Luoyang City.
General Wei's troops and horses are encamped.
Since Liu Zhang openly announced his departure from the imperial court, he evacuated General Wei's mansion in Luoyang and moved the entire palace to the military camp.
For more than half a year, Liu Zhang and his troops never left the military camp. Luoyang seemed to have no relationship with General Liu Zhang anymore!
At first, rumors spread in Luoyang City, and rumors that Liu Zhang was afraid of Dong Zhuo were spread everywhere, and they were even fermented by certain forces!
But just in response to one sentence, public opinion will gradually fade over time!
As the person involved, Liu Zhang never responded. No matter how exaggerated the remarks were in Luoyang City, Liu Zhang never refuted them! It didn't take long for the remarks to subside.
No one discusses Liu Zhang anymore, and no one focuses on this 'coward' anymore.
Why Liu Zhang could remain calm was all due to Taishi Ci's efforts and the 400,000 shi of grain he snatched from Luoyang's treasury half a year ago!
With this batch of food and grass, Liu Zhang could stay in the camp safely and watch Dong Zhuo bring trouble to the court and gradually disintegrate the Han Dynasty!
Liu Zhang could sit still, but his generals could not. Many people were wondering what Liu Zhang was waiting for!
No matter how strong Lu Bu is, no matter how brave Dong Zhuo's army is, Liu Zhang is definitely capable of fighting. As time went by, Liu Zhang's generals couldn't stand the rumors, and they all asked Liu Zhang for a fight, but Liu Zhang suppressed them one by one.
The reply to them is just one word, wait!
As for what to wait for, Liu Zhang did not say.
Fortunately, Liu Zhang's prestige was very high, and the soldiers under his command could only practice every day.
During this period, some people were concerned about Liu Zhang. Instead of spending time in Luoyang, it would be better to return to Hanzhong.
Liu Zhang just smiled and shook his head. There was no difference to Liu Zhang between staying in Luoyang and returning to Hanzhong.
The current Yizhou Mu is Liu Yan, Liu Zhang’s father. Liu Zhang can’t return to Hanzhong and raise an army to attack Yizhou, right? That would definitely lead to being accused of being unfaithful and unfilial!
There is no need to think about Liangzhou. Liu Zhang will never have any thoughts about Liangzhou until he has completely conquered Yizhou.
In other words, Liu Zhang is still sitting back when he returns to Hanzhong. Now that Hanzhong County has Jia Xu sitting in place of Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is worried. Han Sui has also returned to Liangzhou for food and grass reasons. The current Hanzhong County can be said to be
Impregnable!
The key is that Dong Zhuo doesn't necessarily want Liu Zhang to go back. If Liu Zhang gets halfway and cuts off Dong Zhuo's escape route, Dong Zhuo will be in trouble!
Liu Zhang stayed here, thinking that he could finally ask Dong Zhuo for the post of Yizhou Shepherd. This was his ultimate goal.
Only by obtaining the position of Yizhou Mu, it is justifiable to march into Yizhou.
After more than half a year of personnel reduction, Liu Zhang still had a total of 40,000 troops under his command.
Wu Feng camp had 10,000 men, which Liu Zhang brought from Hanzhong without any losses.
The Hanxing camp broke through the original establishment of 3,000 people, and the number reached 4,000, commanded by Hanxing Colonel Zhang Liao.
As for Gao Shun, the captain of Hansheng, the soldiers and horses under his command were not named after the word Hansheng. Liu Zhang gave it the most appropriate name, trapped in the camp!
Gao Shun had very high requirements for personnel, and out of a team of nearly 40,000 people, he only managed to gather a thousand people.
It has to be said that Gao Shun is really good at training soldiers. His focus in training soldiers is not to attack and kill, but to discipline! Gao Shun requires his soldiers to follow orders and prohibitions!
In half a year, the trapped camp has begun to take shape, and coupled with the square formation that Gao Shun is proud of, it is even more powerful.
Liu Zhang believed that after arriving in Hanzhong and equipping Gao Shun with an armored spear, his name would soon spread throughout the world!
In the blink of an eye, it was 190 AD, the first year of Chuping, and Liu Zhang stayed for half a year in order to wait for this moment!
After a dull and boring year, the news that Yuan Shao summoned all the heroes in the world to challenge Dong finally reached Luoyang!
In the commander's tent of the Chinese army, Liu Zhang and all his generals gathered together. Xun You, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were present.
Wu Kuang had left Liu Zhang's camp due to the imperial edict, and now he no longer belonged to the imperial army.
"Generals, after half a year of recuperating, your swords and guns are not rusty, are they?"
Liu Zhang's slightly joking tone made everyone laugh out loud, but there was a chilling look in his eyes! Dian Wei even stood up directly.
"My lord, these euphorbias of mine haven't seen blood for a long time! Are we going to beat up that old thief Dong Zhuo? As long as my lord gives the order, I will be the first to rush into Luoyang and chop off Dong Zhuo's head!"
As Dian Wei spoke, he raised his two huge fists and collided with each other, causing a burst of noise.
"I naturally know the courage of evil, but Dong Zhuo is not our enemy!"
When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately fainted. He thought there was going to be a war, but it was definitely not going to happen when he heard this!
"Lord, what's so good about Luoyang? Why don't we go back to Hanzhong? We can also go to Liangzhou and beat up Han Sui in retaliation for his sneak attack on Hanzhong!"
Liu Zhang smiled and waved his hand to Dian Wei, indicating that he should sit down first.
"When evil comes, be patient. I said Dong Zhuo is not our enemy, but I didn't say we have no enemies."
Everyone became more energetic upon hearing this, and all raised their ears to wait for Liu Zhang's order.
"Gongda, please tell me."
Xun You accepted the order with his hands raised, and then stood up slowly.
"In the past six months, Dong Zhuo has become more and more arrogant, especially after the lord retired, he became even more unscrupulous! It is not uncommon for him to stay in the palace at night and rape the harem. Recently, he has been aggressively excluding dissidents and killing loyal people! The Xiliang army is worse than Dong Zhuo.
And nothing worse than that! They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes against the people of Luoyang."
"The current Dong Zhuo is nothing more than a traitor to the Han Dynasty. If no one stops him, I believe it won't be long before Dong Zhuo will usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself!"
When Dian Wei heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and shouted excitedly,
"Okay! After Dong Zhuo usurps the throne, won't my lord just follow the destiny and become the emperor?"
Dian Wei was fearless, and he had no control over his mouth, so he dared to say anything.
However, Liu Zhang also took this opportunity to carefully observe the faces of the generals under his tent, and the result made Liu Zhang very satisfied.
Zhao Yun and others had no doubts or worries at all, as if it had nothing to do with them. Xun You just frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"You black guy, stop talking nonsense and sit down for me!"
Dian Wei rubbed his head and giggled a few times, then sat down obediently.
"Gongda, please ignore him and continue talking."
Xun You nodded slightly and looked at everyone again.
"Dong Zhuo deceived the emperor so much and brought trouble to the court, which finally aroused the anger of the people of the world! Generals, according to the latest news, Yuan Shao has launched a petition against thieves to all the heroes in the world. I think it won't be long before they gather at Hulao Pass.
under!"
"Lord, do we want to cooperate with Yuan Shao and others inside and outside to attack Dong Zhuo?"
The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth slightly raised, revealing an intriguing smile.
