Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 146 Taoyuan Three Brothers
Dong Zhuo successfully entered the political center of the Han Dynasty. Because of his contribution in saving the emperor, the court granted him the Xianyang Garden located in the northeast of the imperial city to live in.
If Dong Zhuo wanted to stay in Luoyang as an official, he could no longer be the governor of Bingzhou. On the one hand, he asked Lu Bu to send a message to Zhang Liao, asking him to bring the Bingzhou army to Luoyang, and on the other hand, he prepared to get an official position for himself first, regardless of whether he could get the position or not. Anyway, he set his sights on Liu Hong, the prime minister who was the easiest to bully, and asked Liu Bian for an imperial edict to remove Liu Hong and replace him as the prime minister, one of the three officials.
Dong Zhuo's move made the court officials who were already wary of him even more vigilant. Yuan Wei also found that he seemed to have misjudged Dong Zhuo before. However, the man had already been summoned, and Yuan Wei had no way to deal with him at this time and could only wait and see.
Although Dong Zhuo had two powerful armies, he did not bring the Bingzhou Army with him, and the city defenses of Luoyang were still in the hands of the Luoyang Army. If Dong Zhuo wanted to act tyrannically, he had to take over all the military power in Luoyang.
However, what made Dong Zhuo feel upset was that the Eight Colonels were now basically taken over by Yuan Shao, and he really couldn't think of how to use a more peaceful method to seize the military power of Luoyang from the Yuan family.
Now Dong Zhuo had no one around him who could make plans, and only Lu Bu could give him some advice from time to time, so he called Lu Bu to discuss things together.
Although Lu Bu had seen the memories of his previous life, he only saw Dong Zhuo taking over Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army, and did not see how he took over the Luoyang soldiers. If he were asked to find a way to deal with the Yuan family, Lu Bu really couldn't think of one, but he knew that there was a Li Ru in Luoyang who was a very smart man.
Lu Bu suggested, "My lord, you are short of a counselor. Luoyang is full of talented people. Why not take this opportunity to recruit some of them for your use? I have noticed that the doctor-in-chief who is with your majesty is quite talented and may be able to be recruited."
Dong Zhuo thought about it and it seemed that there was such a person around Liu Bian, named Li Ru, who was gentle and handsome.
He wondered, "Li Ru is your Majesty's man, how could he be won over by me?"
Lu Bu was sweating. How could he forget that in his dream, Dong Zhuo married his daughter to Li Ru. In addition, Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the emperor, so he was willing to serve Dong Zhuo for a future. But now Dong Zhuo had no daughter to use for marriage, and he had not shown any intention of deposing the emperor.
The situation in Luoyang was unclear, and Li Ru would be a fool to abandon the emperor and join Dong Zhuo. Unless Dong Zhuo could recruit the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan and completely control Luoyang, given Li Ru's opportunistic nature, he would come and join Dong Zhuo without Dong Zhuo's wooing.
The problem comes back to how to recruit the Eight Commanders of Xiyuan. Now the Eight Commanders of Xiyuan all follow Yuan Shao's lead. As long as Yuan Shao is killed, the problem will be solved. Lu Bu remembered that in his dream, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both became powerful princes. Why not take this opportunity to get rid of them together?
He immediately bowed and said, "Since there is no other way, why not assassinate Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"
Dong Zhuo shook his head. "That's inappropriate. Regardless of whether the assassination attempt will succeed, those court officials are not fools. If they die, they'll know who did it. If the Yuan family ally with others to fight me, can I really slaughter the entire Luoyang army and all the court officials?"
That means he will be completely charged with treason, and everyone in the world will be able to kill him.
The two discussed for a long time but couldn't come up with any proper solution.
After leaving Xianyang Garden, Lu Bu thought for a while and then turned to go to the Xiliang military camp stationed nearby to seek advice from Jia Xu.

In the study of the palace, Wang Yun supported his head with one hand and held the black chess piece in the other. His wrinkled face was deeply frowned, and after a long time he placed a piece on the chessboard.
Zhang Mo's white chess piece followed closely and took up a large area of his chess board with one piece.
"Father seems absent-minded today. I've played chess with you before, but I've never taken one of your pieces..."
Wang Yun, somewhat disillusioned, put down his chess piece and sighed, "Ever since Dong Zhuo led his troops into the city, I've felt uneasy. That day in front of Beimang Mountain, this man seemed extremely respectful to Your Majesty, but in reality, there was no respect in his eyes at all. Now that he's in the position of Minister of Works, I'm afraid he has considerable ambitions!"
Zhang Mo thought to himself, "That's right. If these Xiliang bandits were more obedient, they would have led their troops to guard the border long ago."
Wang Yun continued, "Although the Luoyang city defense is still handled by the Luoyang soldiers, I have a strong feeling that Dong Zhuo will try to seize the Luoyang city defense, or even the Luoyang army. This man may be the next Jian Shuo."
Zhang Mo smiled bitterly. "Although Jian Shuo is a eunuch, it's undeniable that he is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty. And my father just said that Dong Zhuo has no respect for Your Majesty at all. If he gains power, he will be even more terrifying than Jian Shuo."
Wang Yun nodded. "This man is entrenched in Luoyang and will eventually become a disaster. Mo'er, do you have a way to drive him back to Bingzhou?"
"What can my daughter do? Now I can only rely on Master Yuan."
Dong Zhuo has been quite well-behaved during the time he came to Beijing, and has been quite friendly and respectful to the Yuan family. I wonder what the Yuan family is thinking now. Does they still regard Dong Zhuo as one of their own?
Zhang Mo narrowed her eyes slightly, it seemed that she had to add some more ingredients to the Yuan family.
As the father and daughter were talking, a servant came in from outside and announced, "Master, Minister Lu is here!"
"Is the sir here?"
Zhang Mo cried out in surprise, picked up her skirt, and hurried out to greet Lu Zhi.
Looking at his lively daughter, Wang Yun shook his head helplessly, stood up and followed her out.
A servant led Lu Zhi in. Zhang Mo ran over, greeted him respectfully, and then took his arm. She smiled and said, "Sir, how come you have time to come here today? I was thinking of visiting you in two days."
Lu Zhi snorted in dissatisfaction, "You little girl, you've only just come to see me in such a long time since you came back. Don't think you can relax just because you've passed your lessons. Learning never ends, understand?"
Zhang Mo replied obediently, "Master, your teaching is correct. I will definitely keep it in mind."
Lu Zhi snorted again and asked, "Where is your father?"
As they were talking, they saw Wang Yun approaching from the corridor. Lu Zhi was about to approach when he suddenly remembered something. He pointed to a young man standing behind him and introduced him to Zhang Mo, "This is your senior brother Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. He just came to Luoyang a few days ago. Take him around. I have something to tell your father."
Then he said to Liu Bei, "This is the A-Mo that I mentioned to you before."
Lu Zhi said, took two steps and turned back, "Next time you come to my house, remember to bring two more jars of fine wine."
"Okay!"
Zhang Mo responded readily and looked at the legendary Liu Da'er, who was about 1.75 meters tall, with long arms and ears. It was indeed Liu Da'er!
She glanced at Liu Bei, then turned her gaze to the two people standing behind him like pillars. One of them was over 1.9 meters tall, and did not have a red face as exaggerated as the legend said, but his skin was darker red, his features were handsome, and his narrow eyes were slightly narrowed. Seeing Zhang Mo looking at him, he concealed the surprise in his eyes and nodded slightly to her.
And a white face...
Hey, why is his face pale? Doesn't Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms look like Li Kui? This young man may be a big guy, but he has a handsome white face.
Whenever she saw a celebrity, Zhang Mo couldn't help but want to win them over, but she also knew that the three brothers were bound together by a bond, and no one could separate their brotherhood.
Gay love is harder to break up than love!
Zhang Mo only took a moment to examine the three of them. She stepped forward and saluted Liu Bei, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"
Liu Bei hurriedly bowed in return, "Junior sister!"
He secretly raised his eyelids and looked at the junior sister. On the way here, he had heard the teacher mention that he had accepted a very intelligent female disciple a few years ago. The teacher had accepted countless disciples in his life, but there were only a few he could remember. When he came to Luoyang to pay a visit to him, the teacher thought for a long time before he remembered that he, Liu Bei, had been a disciple. If it weren't for the fact that he and Liu Bei were from the same county, the teacher probably wouldn't have remembered it at all.
"Brother, is this your first time in Luoyang?" Zhang Mo asked.
Liu Bei seemed a little reserved and bowed again, "No, I came here over ten years ago when I was studying, but it's been so many years that I don't remember many places. I'd like to trouble you, Junior Sister, to show me the charm of the imperial capital!"
