Chapter 135 Ye Feng: Gentlemen, let’s watch the show outside the city!

"woooooo"

When the warning horn sounded, all the government offices and aristocratic family courtyards in Luoyang City were mobilized and sent people to the west gate to investigate the cause.

Ye Feng, who had already had lunch in the palace, also received the news first.

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Ye Feng instructed Dian Wei beside him: "Order Zilong and Yunchang to attack from the left and right sides."

"In addition to testing the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I need to tell the world that I, Ye Feng, was not forced to leave, but left voluntarily."

Dian Wei nodded and gave a few instructions to the messenger beside him. Not long after, someone conveyed Ye Feng's order.

West gate.

Dong Zhuo entered the city gate with thousands of elite cavalry in high spirits.

Looking at the bustling streets, recalling the last time I left in a panic like a rat crossing the street, a feeling of arrogance burst out from the bottom of my heart.

"Governor Dong, you are finally here."

"We are looking forward to your coming to preside over the affairs of the court day and night!"

Yuan Shao, who came to greet him at the door, complimented him with a smile on his face.

Dong Zhuo, who had heard of Yuan Shao's name, was delighted. Just as he was thinking about how to handle the situation, Li Ru's voice rang out, "General Yuan is young, but he commands a large army. He is truly the unicorn of the Yuan family and a pillar of the imperial court!"

"I just don't know if the first plan is going well? Can we drive Ye Feng out of Luoyang?"

When Ye Feng was mentioned, Yuan Shao, who had wanted to continue testing him, instantly gave up the idea.

Dong Zhuo, who wanted to control the situation but looked down on others, felt a chill in his heart. He understood the meaning of Li Ru's reminder.

He lowered his posture and smiled: "The Yuan family has three dukes in four generations and is the leader of the world's noble families. In order to eliminate the traitors, Lord Yuan risked his life and would not bow his head even if he was torn to pieces. Such a broad mind makes us admire him even more."

"I am willing to follow the Yuan family and go through fire and water, no matter what."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly and pulled Dong Zhuo's arm: "With the help of Governor Dong, why should we worry about not being able to eliminate the treacherous officials in the court?"

"Today we will test Ye Feng's abilities and see if he still has the courage he had before."

"Everything is subject to General Yuan's arrangements!"

Yuan Shao was extremely satisfied with Dong Zhuo's humble attitude.

Yuan Shao even felt that he already had the aura of a king or a tyrant, otherwise how could Dong Zhuo surrender?

Half an hour passed.

Accompanied by the appearance of countless imperial guards, Empress He and the Emperor's carriage arrived at the city gate.

"Meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"

“Long live my emperor!!”

A burst of flattering voices came out, and Empress He stepped down from the imperial carriage with a dignified face, her eyes fixed on Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo: "The eunuchs have passed on the message that the rebels are rampant and are attacking Luoyang. I and the emperor are afraid that Luoyang will be in trouble, so we have hurried here."

"But where did the rebels come from? Why is there no sound of fighting?"

"The city gates are wide open. Why?"

Yuan Shao was impressed by Empress He's ignorant look.

After calming down, Yuan Shao said solemnly: "The reason why I sent a message to the Queen Mother and asked Your Majesty to come here is not because the city wall is in danger, but because the Queen Mother, the danger around the Emperor is even greater."

"Allow me to introduce you. This is Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, and the general's absolute confidant."

"A few months ago, I was ordered to come to Luoyang City to stabilize the situation."

"It's a pity that the Ten Eunuchs were so sinister and vicious that they took the initiative and killed the general, the Grand Tutor, the Minister of Rites and others in one fell swoop."

"Now I am leading the troops into Luoyang for the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Queen Mother!"

Where had Liu Bian ever seen such a world?
Feeling the ferocity of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, he trembled all over. Empress He had seen a lot of the world, not to mention that today's farce was directed and performed by her.

There was a hint of hesitation and entanglement on her face. After a moment, Empress He asked, "The Ten Eunuchs have been completely eliminated, and the eunuchs in the palace have been replaced several times. How can there be any treacherous villains left?"

"General Yuan, you have to think carefully about what you are going to say. Don't talk nonsense!"

"Otherwise, it would be bad if the loyalty of a close minister was hurt."

Yuan Shao clasped his fists and bowed, saying solemnly: "Before, I didn't discover anything, and thought he was a pillar of the court. Unfortunately, I discovered his secret and had no choice but to do this."

After these words were spoken, many ministers subconsciously looked at Ye Feng.

Feeling the countless inquiring gazes on his face, Ye Feng remained calm and composed: "I wonder who General Yuan thinks is the biggest spy in the court?"

Yuan Shao looked at Ye Feng with sharp eyes: "You really don't know?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly: "How would I know?"

"Could it be that you are saying"

Yuan Shao didn't wait for Ye Feng to finish his words and said decisively: "It's you."

"You are the only one who benefits the most from this whole thing."

"With the help of the Ten Eunuchs, you killed the general, the Grand Tutor, and the Minister of Rites, and cleared away the obstacles in the court."

"After that, you took advantage of the situation to get rid of the Ten Attendants headed by Zhang Rang. No one in the entire court had a higher status than you."

"Then he supported His Majesty to ascend the throne and had absolute control over the court."

"I even suspect that after everything is ready, you still want to get your hands on the throne."

"Ye Feng, am I right?"

Yuan Shao looked as if he had seen through everything and stared at Ye Feng.

Many ministers present seemed to be moved by Yuan Shao’s story. They subconsciously took two steps away and looked at Ye Feng with caution.

"clap clap"

Applause rang out, and Ye Feng said sarcastically: "What a sharp tongue you have. You have completely shirked the responsibility for secretly moving troops into Luoyang."

"I just want to ask one thing, are you so confident that you can make me surrender with tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry?"

Yuan Shao frowned, and before he could speak, Dong Zhuo stepped forward impatiently: "Ye Feng, my 200,000 Xiliang cavalry have arrived in Hongnong County."

"It will only take two days to reach Luoyang."

"That means I just need to hold you back, and you will die."

"Be smart and follow General Yuan's instructions, otherwise..."

"hey-hey."

The threatening tone made the ministers who were watching feel comfortable, but Empress He felt nervous.

"I am here with the Emperor, how can a mere governor have the say in everything?"

"Why don't you get out of here?"

The delicate rebuke was like a slap in the face of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo stared at Empress He with anger on his face. Although he was extremely angry, he knew that now was not the time to turn hostile, so he could only retreat in disgrace.
Ye Feng glanced at Empress He meaningfully, then looked at Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo sarcastically: "Do you think you can make me surrender with these little tricks?"

"Everyone, look outside the city. The show is about to begin!!"

"Do it!!"

Dian Wei on the side picked up the huge horn, and a charge horn sound that had never been heard before rang out.

At the same time, more than 10,000 people on both sides outside the city launched a charge towards the Xiliang cavalry led by Dong Zhuo!
