"Your Majesty is smart and I admire you."

"On that day, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and sent troops to Luoyang. My father, Ding Yuan, led an army of 50,000 Bingzhou cavalry to rescue him. However, Dong Zhuo's troops were too strong and they occupied the high city of Luoyang. After all, my father was no match for him, so my adoptive father ordered me to temporarily stay under Dong Zhuo's command and wait.

The opportunity is right to kill Dong Zhuo." Lu Bu said, holding back a bit of sadness on his face, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Xie respectfully: "This is an autographed letter from my adoptive father to your majesty.

, Your Majesty, please read everything stated in it."

Liu Xie nodded, took the letter, and opened it to read.

"The guilty minister Ding Yuan hereby bows to your majesty. The sky has no eyes, and the Han Dynasty is in chaos. First there was the disaster of the Yellow Turban, and then there was the eunuch rebellion, which greatly damaged the strength of the Han Dynasty. Only then did Dong Zhuo stir up trouble and control the government.

, Your Majesty, Ding, was originally a Han official and lived in Han Dynasty. I will never let such national thieves cause cholera in the world and harm Your Majesty."

"Therefore, we gathered fifty thousand Bingzhou cavalry and galloped to Luoyang to rescue them. However, Dong Zhuo had endured for many years and had many troops under his command, but the few troops under his command were unable to fight against them. It happened that Dong Zhuo's Li Su recruited the adopted son of the minister, Ding Yuan.

Feeling that your majesty is in a difficult situation, if you let Dong Zhuo control you any longer, your majesty may suffer mishaps, so I ordered my son Lu Bu to cut off my head and offer it to Dong Zhuo in exchange for Dong Zhuo's trust. In the long run, I will help your majesty destroy Dong Zhuo.

Reshape the world, complete this task, I will die without regrets, and I will offer it to the sinner Ding Yuan."

This is all the content of the letter.

Every sentence came from Ding Yuan's heart before his death, and every sentence expressed his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

For Liu Xie, he was willing to sacrifice his life in exchange for Lu Bu's chance to be by Dong Zhuo's side.

"Ding Yuan, Ding Jianyang, the heroes of our great Han Dynasty, I will never forget them."

After reading the letter, Liu Xie felt shocked in his heart.

According to historical records, Ding Yuan died at the hands of Lü Bu because Lü Bu wanted glory, wealth and the red rabbit horse. But now it seems that the real situation is not that simple.

Everything was Ding Yuan's plan, a plan to save the Han Dynasty.

"We admire Ding Yuan's loyalty and righteousness." Lu Zhi and other officials also said in admiration.

"You bastards... you are plotting against your father-in-law, Lu Bu. You must die a good death. The Xiliang Army will not let you go." Li Ru heard the cause and effect, and endless resentment flashed across his face.

When Lu Bu came to surrender, after seeing Ding Yuan's head, Li Ru was convinced. He had no idea that Lu Bu was using a trick to get close to Dong Zhuo.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, how to deal with this Li Ru?" Lu Bu glanced at Li Ru coldly, and then asked.

"cut!"

Liu Xie had no expression on his face and uttered one word.

As an emperor, he must be decisive in killing and must not have any kind of mother-heartedness, let alone mercy.

"According to the decree."

Lu Bu immediately accepted the order, raised Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and struck Li Ru's head.

There was a pop.

Heads fell to the ground.

After Dong Zhuo, his first think tank also followed him and fell into hell.

"Dong Zhuo is dead and the Xiliang army is leaderless. This is a great opportunity for me to regain control of the court." Liu Xie said loudly, looking at the ministers.

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Zhi and other ministers said in unison.

"Lü Bu, Cao Cao listens to the order." Liu Xie shouted immediately.

"I am here." Lu Bu and Cao Cao knelt on one knee, waiting for the order.

"In Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is not many, only tens of thousands. Basically, it is the Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan created by the late emperor, with a total of 100,000 troops. If he wants to destroy Xiliang and reshape the court, he can only control this army.

In hand."

"Lu Bu, I order you to send 20,000 troops to help Cao Cao and control the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan. There must be no mistake."

"In addition, bring another 30,000 soldiers and horses from our headquarters to quell the Xiliang soldiers and horses in Luoyang City. If they surrender, they will avoid death. If they don't surrender, they will be killed." Liu Xie ordered loudly.

"I accept the decree." Lu Bu and Cao Cao respectfully accepted the decree.

"Zhang Liao, you lead a thousand soldiers to protect His Majesty. Gao Shun and Hou Cheng, follow my generals to put down the rebellion." Lu Bu loudly ordered to his generals.

"promise."

The generals took orders and took action one after another.

Today's move is thanks to the backup left by Ding Yuan, otherwise Liu Xie would not be able to have troops at his disposal so easily.

After today's battle is decided, Liu Xie will regain control of the army and reshape the court.

"Your Majesty turned the tide with your courage and strategy. I am so lucky as a man."

Liu Xie strategized and arranged the follow-up matters, which also made Lu Zhi and other ministers feel at ease.

"As for you..."

Liu Xie's eyes once again fell on the dozens of unjust officials who were captured.

From ancient times to the present, there is a saying that if the king lets his ministers die, they will have to die.

In order to protect themselves, these officials have abandoned their most basic loyalty and taken refuge with the national thief Dong Zhuo. Liu Xie will never let these people go unpunished.

"Spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life... We are all here for our family, we were all forced by Dong Zhuo..."

These officials knelt on the ground, begging miserably for mercy.

But it is a pity that Liu Xie is not a kind woman, and their prayers cannot change Liu Xie's decision.

"Behead them all." Liu Xie said coldly.

"promise."

Zhang Liao respectfully accepted the order, and the soldiers rushed forward, weapons raised, ready to execute him on the spot.

"Who dares to touch me?"

"I am the current Imperial Tutor and the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor."

At this time.

One of the dozens of officials jumped up and yelled at the surrounding soldiers.

"Yuan Wei, he actually betrayed His Majesty and just sat back and watched Your Majesty being bullied by Dong's thieves."

"Damn it, he, the fourth generation and the third prince, is so unjust. It's really shameful."

Hearing the old man's voice, Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and other ministers frowned.

The scene just now was so chaotic that they did not notice Yuan Wei.

"His Majesty?"

Zhang Liao turned his eyes and looked at Liu Xie.

"Yuan Wei, do you still have the nerve to say that you are the Imperial Tutor?" Liu Xie moved slowly and walked in front of Yuan Wei.

"I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have contributed a lot to the success of the Han Dynasty. Although I did not come forward to confront Dong Zhuo, I did it for the sake of tolerance." Yuan Wei said shamelessly, obviously trying to excuse his disloyalty.

He was suspected of righteousness, and also wanted to use his status as a wealthy family to threaten Liu Xie so that Liu Xie would not dare to attack him.
