Dong Zhuo has the ability to take advantage of the conflict between the two parties and gain the upper hand, but Xu Wenhao will not give him this opportunity.

After all, he has tens of thousands of troops in Liangzhou. If he is given this breathing time, it will take a lot of effort for Xu Wenhao to deal with him.

"General, Dong Zhuo should only have about 3000 troops. There shouldn't be any ambush, since they don't know we're coming."

As Zhang He was Lu Bu's new subordinate, Dong Zhuo naturally didn't notice anything when he disappeared just now.

In fact, he took some people and went around behind Dong Zhuo to cut off his retreat. Now he came back and reported the situation after observing the situation carefully.

"Zhang He, go back and cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat. Zhang Liao, surround Dong Zhuo's troops and don't let any of them go!"

Xu Wenhao had no reason to be polite to Dong Zhuo, especially since the timing was so good now.

"General Fei, why are you doing this?"

Dong Zhuo was just about to wait for Xu Wenhao to leave before slowly organizing his army to march toward the outskirts of Luoyang City, but he discovered that Xu Wenhao's cavalry had already formed their battle formation.

"kill!"

Xu Wenhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Dong Zhuo and directly signaled Zhang Liao to lead the army to charge.

"General, Lu Bu is going to kill us all, let's retreat quickly!"

When Li Ru saw this scene, he quickly signaled Dong Zhuo to run away. After all, the other party had more people and more power, and would not be easy to deal with.

"Lü Bu, you actually attacked the imperial army, are you planning a rebellion?"

Dong Zhuo turned around and saw that Zhang Liao had surrounded them, and there were several thousand cavalrymen behind them. It could be said that their way of survival was cut off. Of course he insulted Xu Wenhao.

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

Xu Wenhao was not interested in talking nonsense with Dong Zhuo. After giving his instructions, he looked at the Young Emperor Liu Bian and the Prince of Chenliu Liu Xie with a kind smile.

"Your Majesty, I will escort you back to Luoyang right now."

Xu Wenhao also said after looking at Chenliu King Liu Xie.

In fact, he also knew that Liu Xie was quite smart and even had a lot of tricks, but they had no effect on him.

Instead, he could have used his hand to help Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others rise, and then he could have implemented his plan to eliminate the aristocratic families.

Otherwise, with his current power, plus the forces in Luoyang, no one would dare to cause trouble anytime. By that time, the noble families would surrender to him when they saw how powerful he is, so how would he eliminate them?

If he does not show strong strength and gives the other party an excuse, it will give these noble families the opportunity to maximize the profits of their investment agents.

In fact, if these princes had not risen up one after another, there might not have been so many people left in the Eastern Han Dynasty, after all, the food was controlled by the aristocratic families.

If there is a war, at least you will be given military pay and people will have enough to eat. Otherwise, they would rather leave the land to waste than give it to you. Add to that natural disasters and man-made calamities, and even more people may die.

Of course, Emperor Shao Liu Bian and King Chenliu Liu Xie didn't know any of this. They were just terrified when they saw Xu Wenhao easily destroy Dong Zhuo.

After all, they are only 14 and 9 years old now. They have been frightened all the way after escaping from Luoyang. Now that they encounter this incident, they also think that Xu Wenhao is the villain.

Dong Zhuo's troops this time were the same ones that were used to suppress the Yellow Turban bandits, and their combat effectiveness was average.

After all, he still had Ding Yuan near Henei County, and he didn't have many good soldiers to give to Dong Zhuo.

It turned out that the reason why he was successful was that the people in Luoyang were like frightened birds, and they thought that Dong Zhuo was bringing tens of thousands of troops from Liang Province, so they did not resist.

Only after Dong Zhuo conquered tens of thousands of troops and added his own troops from Liang Province and other places was he able to gain a foothold in Luoyang. Later on, he was no match for the eighteen princes because he had too few troops that he could actually use.

After dealing with Dong Zhuo, Xu Wenhao returned to Luoyang with Emperor Shao Liu Bian and King of Chenliu Liu Xie.

"General, Luoyang is already under our control, but the ministers are complaining, and many want to take over our jurisdiction."

When Gao Shun saw Xu Wenhao leading his troops back, he immediately came over to explain the situation.

"Don't worry about them. Remember, don't let anyone leave Luoyang without my order."

"I will expel the evil around me, take over the army, and purge the treacherous and filthy."

Xu Wenhao waved his hand, signaling Gao Shun to block Luoyang first, and then he told him his purpose.

"Fengxian, why did you blockade Luoyang?"

Ding Yuan saw Xu Wenhao leading his troops back and immediately began to question him.

"I'm going to pick up the young emperor."

Xu Wenhao originally wanted to use Dong Zhuo to kill Ding Yuan, so that he would have nothing to feel guilty about. Unfortunately, Ding Yuan entered the palace as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, making it difficult for him to do so.

Since Ding Yuan is not dead now, let him be a leisurely general. If he acts recklessly, I will not be polite.

After all, he is in cahoots with General He Jin, so he is not a good person.

Ahem, Xu Wenhao is himself, so of course it doesn’t count.

"I see. Where is the young emperor?"

When Ding Yuan heard this, he had not yet thought that Xu Wenhao had betrayed him, so he continued to ask.

"Okay, Governor Ding, you should take a good rest first. I'm going to the palace to clear out the evildoers."

Xu Wenhao also revealed his cards at this time, signaling Ding Yuan to go back and rest as he was going to enter the palace.

At this time, the palace was still in chaos. Mainly because after Yuan Shao and Cao Cao discovered that General He Jin had died, they led their troops into the palace and killed all the eunuchs, causing fires inside the palace. After the fire was put out, everyone wanted to take the young emperor back, but they were intercepted by Xu Wenhao.

"Fengxian, you..."

This time, Ding Yuan only brought a small number of troops out because he took into consideration the instability in Yizhou and other places. He thought that he would not have to worry with Xu Wenhao around, but now he has no way to resist.

"Your Majesty, let's go into the palace."

Xu Wenhao said to Liu Bian.

It was Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty who caused the fall of the country because of his own misbehavior. Xu Wenhao was not interested in being treated like a boss, so he naturally chose to let Liu Xie take the throne.

Are you kidding? They had already taken away two emperors. Now that Liu Bian doesn't show up, Liu Xie will naturally be the new emperor.

"General Fei, where is the young emperor?"

Just after Xu Wenhao brought Liu Xie into the palace, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and many ministers immediately rushed over.

Mainly, after they cleared out the eunuchs in the palace, they found that the young emperor was missing, and then they learned that he had been sent out of the palace.

When he wanted to go out, he found that Luoyang was blocked by Gao Shun, so he could only wait for news in the palace.

"Isn't the young emperor here?"

Xu Wenhao pointed at Liu Xie and said.

"What a joke! This is the Prince of Chenliu, not the Young Emperor!"

At this time, Situ Huang Wan, Sikong Yang Biao, Taifu Yuan Wei and others all angrily rebuked Xu Wenhao.

"Okay, if you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind clearing out the court together."

"The young emperor is missing. With the current situation of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't we quickly appoint a young emperor to stabilize the situation? How long will the chaos last?"

Xu Wenhao was not interested in wasting time talking to these old stubborn people.

"Your inaction caused all the troubles in the Han Dynasty. Now I have to assist the young emperor in reviving the Han Dynasty. If you are not happy with this, please resign and go back. I will let Gao Shun let you go."

"No soldiers or horses are allowed to be taken away. If anyone wants to lead the troops out, they should ask the tens of thousands of Bingzhou Wolf Riders outside Luoyang City whether they agree or not."

Xu Wenhao also took Liu Xie into the imperial palace, and before that he reminded everyone.

To put it bluntly, this was a message to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, asking them to quickly mobilize troops.
