Chapter 41: Take over the military power

When Dong Zhuo's army camp outside Luoyang City was just in the city, he was ordered to lead the army to the army and Dong Zhuo outside the city. He was very dissatisfied with this, but because he did not understand the situation in Luoyang for a while, he did not dare to move around.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo, who was full of anger in the tent of Dong Zhuo's central army, was drinking without saying a word. Seeing this, his military advisor Li Ru said, "Lord, if you want to enter Luoyang, it's just an easy task, so why should you be so depressed?"

"What are you going to do?" Dong Zhuo, who was drinking, heard Li Ru's words and his eyes lit up. His turbid eyes suddenly became brighter.

"Kill in." Li Ru said gloomy with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

"I just sent someone to the city to inquire. At present, the battalions in the city are in chaos. The truly available soldiers are only 2,000 soldiers. If we take advantage of this time, we will definitely be able to capture Luoyang in one fell swoop."

"On the contrary, if we sit here and wait for the battalions in the city to rectify, the number of soldiers available will reach tens of thousands. If we arrive at that time, we will be unable to win even if we want to attack Luoyang, so Ru asked the lord to send troops quickly." Li Ru's analysis was obviously his plan for a long time.

Dong Zhuo pondered and said, "Your plan is not impossible. But now the city gate is closed, and my 50,000 army is still in the rope pool. If you rely on the ten thousand iron cavalry in front of you, the chance of victory is really unpredictable. Besides, this morning, you also saw that the powerful general in front of the emperor is actually brave enough to be unstoppable. If this person is in front of us, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to us."

Li Ru was also in front of the formation, and he had witnessed Pang De's victory in killing generals with his own eyes. That scene shocked him very much. Thinking about it, he was not afraid of it. Now that he heard Dong Zhuo say this, he changed his words and said, "The things that the lord is worried about are not unreasonable. Since this is the case, we can quickly send people to urge the army to Luoyang overnight. It is not too late to act after the army and horses meet."

"That's it. When the city gate opens tomorrow, I will lead the cavalry into the city and explore the virtual and real things in the city." Dong Zhuo thought that it was safer, so he immediately made a decision.

"No!" Li Ru hurriedly got up and took the order and went to make arrangements.

Ma Chao raised the imperial edict in his hand, led 300 soldiers under his command, stood on the platoon on the Nangong School field, looked at the 3,000 imperial guards below, and shouted: "According to the imperial edict of Your Majesty, I, Ma Chao, will take over as the military lieutenant, and be responsible for the city defense in the palace."

The three thousand imperial guards on the school ground couldn't help but whisper when they heard Ma Chao's shouting. Obviously, they were too confused about Ma Chao, the boss who suddenly appeared.

"Sujing, this is the school ground, not the vegetable market. There will be no orders in the future. If anyone dares to talk privately, the military law will deal with it!" Ma Chao shouted loudly, and his voice shocked the three armies. The soldiers on the school ground were shocked and immediately calmed down.

"From today, my request to everyone is to implement orders and to keep in mind the iron discipline of military orders falling like a mountain. As the most elite imperial guard in the court, you must always remember that you are guarding Your Majesty's safety, you are the emperor's sword and shield. Without this enlightenment, you are not worthy of the honorary title of imperial guard." Ma Chao's shouts rang out throughout the school ground again, shocking the three armies.

"Long live - Long live Your Majesty!" Pang De raised his arms and shouted, and the emotions of the three armies were immediately aroused. For a moment, the shouts of thunder were heard on the school ground, and the sound shook the sky.

After the shouts of the three armies subsided, Ma Chao shouted again: "Pang De obeyed the order."

"The last one will be here!"

"You are now appointed as the deputy general, responsible for commanding the three armies. If there is any violation of the order, you have the right to make a decision." Ma Chao held up an imperial edict on the general's platform and appointed Pang De as the deputy general of the Imperial Guard, which was a shocking intention.

"Abide by the order!" Pang De strided forward and obtained the military order.

Ma Chao believed that Pang De could suppress these 3,000 troops, so he did not interfere much. After all, the time is urgent now, and there are many troops in Luoyang City, so he could not do it himself. Therefore, after appointing Pang De as his deputy general, he left behind 150 Liangzhou soldiers to act as Pang De's personal guard, and then led another 150 soldiers to the Shangjun Academy Mansion outside the palace.

The army captain of Luoyang City was originally the eunuch Qian Shuo, who commanded the Luoyang army with full authority. Historically, it was called the Eight Schools of Xiyuan, and was responsible for the city defense of the entire Luoyang.

Since Qian Shuo was killed by He Jinzhu, his position as a military lieutenant has been temporarily vacant, and the Shangjun lieutenant’s Mansion, which was set up outside the palace gate, has also been idle.

When Ma Chao led his army outside the mansion, the soldiers guarding the mansion had long been missing. They searched for the entire mansion, but there was only one old clerk who had nowhere to go and had not left yet.

"Plan the court, I will recruit all the schools in the city overnight to discuss matters." Ma Chao seemed a little energetic, but many things were not as easy as he imagined, and he did not understand them at this moment. After ordering the soldiers to get busy, he pulled down a frightened old clerk.

"Old man, I don't know what to call you?" Ma Chao saw that the old man was nearly 70 years old and was full of respect and his tone was kind and kind.

"Subor Guo An, please pay homage to the Lord. If you have any instructions, all virtues will obey." Seeing that Guo An was about to get up and salute, Ma Chao hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

"It turns out that it is Mr. Guo. He is now serving as a military lieutenant. I have to ask Mr. Guo for some things. I hope Mr. Guo will give me some advice." Although Ma Chao is not unfamiliar with the position of becoming a military lieutenant, he cannot understand the specific matters clearly for the time being.

Hearing Ma Chao's humble words, Guo Anzhi was really flattered and hurriedly bowed, "Please give me the order."

After a conversation with Guo An, Ma Chao finally had a clearer understanding of his position. After the soldiers cleaned up the lieutenant's mansion, Ma Chao immediately shouted: "I will order the general to ask the Central Army Captain Yuan Shao, the lower Army Captain Bao Hong, the Dian Army Captain Cao Cao, the assisted left army Captain Zhao Rong, the assisted right army Captain Feng Fang, the left army Captain Xia Mou, and the right army Captain Chunyu Qiong, to discuss matters." (Note: The upper army Captain is served by eunuch Jian Shuo, and these eight people are called the Eight Captains of Xiyuan in history)
