One hundred and eighty eighth Yuan Taifu's move

Only after Guo Peng and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing together did they know what happened in Luoyang.

About two thousand eunuchs in the palace were killed by the men led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Then the chariot and cavalry general He Miao was killed by He Jin's troops Wu Kuang.

The reason was that He Miao was too close to the eunuch and had always opposed He Jin's plan, which led to He Jin's killing.

He Miao became one of the culprits who killed He Jin and was executed by Wu Kuang. At that time, Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min was present, and Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu was present.

As soon as He Miao died, the He family's relatives in the court completely lost their male relatives and their backbone. The old people in the General's Mansion immediately scattered, ending their short-term glory.

Because of excitement, Dong Zhuo was very fast, so he led his army into Luoyang before Guo Peng to thank the court for his gratitude, and took office, while Guo Peng was a little late.

It was not Cao Cao who welcomed Guo Peng into Luoyang, but Yuan Shu. When he saw Guo Peng entering the city, Yuan Shu immediately stepped forward and held Guo Peng's hand.

"I originally wanted Zifeng to lead troops into Luoyang, but I couldn't get the consent. My uncle said that the army in Luoyang City was enough. Dong Zhuo was the third duke and could lead troops into Luoyang, but Zifeng could not."

Yuan Shu seemed to feel a little guilty.

Guo Peng held Yuan Shu's hand tightly and said, "It's okay, as long as my army is outside the city, it can still provide support to the highway. Moreover, I, the position of General Left, have to thank the highway for its help."

Yuan Shu smiled and then invited Guo Peng to get on the bus. He and Guo Peng took the same car.

"This is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. It's just Zifeng, what do you think of Dong Zhuo?"

"Dong Zhuo... a generous warrior, with outstanding military achievements and great prestige in the army. His soldiers are willing to obey his orders and are very fierce."

"I am very worried about my uncle who regards Dong Zhuo as Sikong."

Yuan Shu shook his head: "Although Dong Zhuo is an old official of his uncle, I always feel that what my uncle wants to do is not simple. My uncle trusts Dong Zhuo too much. If he doesn't hand over the army to his children, he actually handed it to Dong Zhuo. I don't understand my uncle's approach."

Guo Peng remembered this sentence in his heart.

"Dong Zhuo is a military general in Xiliang, a native of Guanxi, and is not with us Guandong people."

Guo Peng aroused the doubts in Yuan Shu's heart with words. Yuan Shu frowned and nodded, but said, "But I cannot violate my uncle's meaning. At present, the government affairs are controlled by my uncle. I am just a rear general. There are only some imperial guards in my hands that can control them and cannot control the government affairs."

"Then let's wait and see what's going on, and I believe the Taifu can grasp the overall situation."

Yuan Shu nodded after hearing Guo Peng's words.

After Guo Peng went to the court to receive his position and thanked him, he was taken to his mansion by Yuan Shu to drink and chat. He was sent back to his mansion that originally belonged to Cao Song at a very late time. Now Cao Cao lives there.

When he arrived at Cao's Mansion, Guo Peng met Cao Cao.

"Zifeng, you're back."

When Cao Cao saw Guo Peng, he immediately took Guo Peng's hand and walked in.

"What's wrong with me?"

"I want to take you to meet someone."

Before Cao Cao could reminisce about the past with Guo Peng, he brought Guo Peng to a middle-aged man.

"Bao Xin has met the general!"

Bao Xin bowed to Guo Peng.

"Bao Jun?"

Guo Peng was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

When Guo Peng returned to Luoyang before, he met Bao Xin and Bao Yuncheng who worked in the General's Mansion under Cao Cao's introduction.

He talked happily with Bao Xin. He had drunk wine together. This time, Guo Peng was a little surprised when he saw Bao Xin.

"Bao has something important to discuss with the general."

Bao Xin's face was full of solemn expression.

"Mr. Bao, please tell me."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Before, the general sent a few people from our mansion to recruit soldiers, intending to bring back Luoyang to strengthen the momentum. I, Qiao Mao, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, and the five of us scattered out to recruit soldiers.

But now only Zhang Liao and I rushed back, and no one else came back. We agreed before that the general would take action only when we recruited troops, but now, we have not returned yet, and the general has died.

Not only that, even the General Cheqi was killed, but was killed by the traitor Wu Kuang. If there was no conspiracy in it, Bao would never believe it! Although the General Cheqiqi did not support the general to kill the eunuch, he would never join forces with the eunuch to kill the general!"

Bao Xin looked angry.

Cao Cao also said to Guo Peng: "Before, the general was hesitant to recruit foreign troops into Luoyang. Yuan Benchu ​​insisted on it. I opposed it. He even mocked me as an eunuch, which forced me to be unable to argue."

"To be honest, I also find this strange. The death of the general was considered an accident, but the death of the general Cheqi was strange. He was actually killed by Wu Kuang."

Guo Peng whispered: "And as soon as Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, he was granted the title of the third duke. Even if he had the merit of saving the emperor, it would be too fast, right?"

“That’s the problem.”

Bao Xin said, "Earlier, I was surprised to learn that Dong Zhuo was named the third duke. And the general may not know that just now, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang had already led the general and the old subordinates of the chariot and cavalry general to surrender to Dong Zhuo!"

"What?"

Guo Peng pretended to be surprised: "Have the general and the old subordinates of General Cheqi defected to Dong Zhuo?"

"Because Dong Zhuo was a former general of Sikong and was appointed as the military power by Grand Tutor Yuan."

Bao Xin said hatefully: "Those people are villains who forget their righteousness when they see profit! They betray the old master for their own glory and wealth! General, this is not good. At present, except for a few Luoyang troops in the hands of Yuan Gaolu, only Ding Yuan, as the master of Jinwu, controls an army, and the rest of the troops are all in the hands of Dong Zhuo."

"Brother, your Xiyuan Army..."

"It has disintegrated during the war, and now I guess they have all surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and I can't control it at all."

Cao Cao's face was full of bitterness: "I also think this sign is wrong. In addition, Taifu Yuan did not allow you to lead troops into the city, but Dong Zhuo allowed him to lead troops into the city. I think it's very strange."

"But my relationship with Yuan Shu..."

"Zifeng, of course I know your relationship with Yuan Shu, otherwise, I wouldn't have brought Yuncheng to let you know about this. If it weren't for your relationship with Yuan Shu, I doubt you wouldn't have entered Luoyang.

Do you know? Mr. Lu was originally the young master Shangshuling, who was in charge of the Shangshutai. This time he was promoted to the Grand Tutor and was in charge of the Shangshutai with Grand Tutor Yuan. This is obviously an open promotion and secret surrender! Grand Tutor Yuan wants to be in charge of the government alone!"

Cao Cao shook his head nervously: "In this way, if Yuncheng and the old subordinates of General Cheqi and General Cheqi are unwilling to surrender to Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that only if I am expelled, I will be safe and sound because of my relationship with Yuan Benchu."

"Brother, what do you mean is that Dong Zhuo's Sikong is a move that Grand Tutor Yuan takes charge of the government?"
