Luoyang, Liu Hong was really angry after seeing the latest battle report ahead. He had already received Dong Zhuo's secret report, and Dong Zhuo's secret report was indeed very clear. The head coach Zhang Wen was determined to act alone, and the head coach Yuan Pang and the general Zhou Shen of the bandit also agreed with his advance strategy. Dong Zhuo, as for him, he labeled himself as a person who advised the head coach, but the head coach refused to listen, and was later excluded.

If Liu Hong did not take Dong Zhuo’s secret report seriously before, originally, Liu Hong would rather believe Zhang Wen and the other three than Dong Zhuo alone. Of course, Liu Hong didn’t know what counselor Li Ru, anyway, he knew that even if Zhang Wen was wrong, could Yuan Pang and Zhou Shen make mistakes together? At least Liu Hong believed that this situation would almost never happen, but the final result was...

Liu Hong was still waiting for Zhang Wen’s good news, but the result was that it was a bad news, but it was not a good news, but a failure report. Facts were better than words, and the end result was that the Han army failed, and it was a big defeat. The facts proved that Dong Zhuo was right, while Zhang Wen and the other two were wrong. Liu Hong had to sigh a lot at this time. Zhang Wen and the other three had fallen into the trap of other people’s rebels. His reputation in this life was so famous that he would have been wasted this time.

"Father, I really didn't expect that my elite man's army was defeated again, and it was still a crushing defeat!!"

Liu Hong was also a little amused at this time. After losing or losing, he naturally had no mood to laugh. But what is more gratifying is that the Han army has not been wiped out yet. At least Dong Zhuo saved more than 20,000 soldiers. If he fled back from the rebel camp and then gathered the remaining soldiers that had scattered, the troops would be at least half of the previous ones, and there should be some of them.

Although Liu Hong had no experience in fighting, he also knew that soldiers who had actually been on the battlefield and had seen blood were a hundred times stronger than those soldiers who had temporarily recruited and had never seen blood. Even the defeated soldiers were stronger than those Xiaobai. So although there were less than half of the previous troops left, they could defeat the rebels even with these people. But if the entire army was wiped out, it would be really a big deal. Luoyang has no infinite army to send, but if it was to recruit locally, it would definitely not be able to defeat the rebels. Therefore, Dong Zhuo saved tens of thousands of soldiers, which was the greatest contribution. He retained strong combat power for the Han army and laid a solid foundation for future battles.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the rebel Han Wen had a new partner under his tent. His surname was Cheng Gong and his name was Ying. This person was a famous adviser in Jincheng, Liangzhou. He had a relationship with Han Wen. I believe that this time our army was defeated, and this person was the plan among Zhang Boshen and others!" Zhang Rang said slowly.

Liu Hong nodded, "What my father said is right, it is this person's plan! This person is indeed a famous scholar in Jincheng, Liangzhou, but unfortunately he cannot be used by the court!"

Although his position is different, Cheng Gongying is a rebel, but it does not affect Liu Hong's evaluation of him. As an emperor, Liu Hong is not a wise ruler, but he also hopes that his subordinates are full of talents so that the Han Dynasty can prosper more.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think, since Cheng Gongying is so powerful, it is normal for Zhang Boshen and others to fall into the trap. After all, they are always cheating!"

Zhang Rang seemed to be helping Zhang Wen and the others talk, but in fact it was not the case. If you don’t know, it seems like this on the surface. But the real situation is definitely not like this, because Zhang Rang knows Liu Hong too well, so his words can’t help Zhang Wen and the others.

It was okay for Liu Hong to not listen to this. When he heard what Zhang Rang said, he slapped the table and snorted coldly: "Hmph, it is normal for Zhang Boshen and others to be trapped, but why did Dong Zhongying not be trapped as a traitor? Does my father know why this is?"

"This, I don't know if you go back to your Majesty!"

Zhang Rang thought at this moment that Dong Zhongying's request for him would be done at this time. And Zhang Boshen and others were too careless and underestimated the enemy, so they were defeated in the end. If the army was handed over to them, then his head might be accepted by Han Wen in a few days. It would be better to let Dong Zhongying control the army alone. At least he would not be like Zhang Boshen and others, so he would feel more at ease.

Zhang Rang naturally had his own plans, and people were for themselves. In his opinion, the sooner Zhang Wen and others were removed, the better. In this way, the army was handed over to Dong Zhuo, he would be safer and he could enjoy a peaceful life in Luoyang more comfortably. Otherwise, Zhang Wen and others would control the army, and they might not have to wait for a long time to attack the city of Luoyang.

"Father, I want me to say that Zhang Boshen and others didn't take the traitor seriously at all! They didn't take my instructions to them seriously, and they let my trust in them down!"

After saying that, Liu Hong shook his head and then sighed. When the four of them went to war, before leaving Luoyang, Liu Hong summoned the four of them, and met them one by one. He had given many words seriously to everyone, so he could not help but say nothing about underestimating the enemy and not being trapped by the traitor. He said too many such words. Because the former governor of Liangzhou Geng Bi, and the examples of the Central Army General Huangfu Song and Sun Jian were all there, but in the end, they were not trapped by others and then defeated miserably. Dong Zhuo was better, while the other three drank their foot wash water.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Boshen and others are very loyal to the Han Dynasty and the court!" Zhang Rang said in an uncertain way.

Liu Hong shook his head when he heard this, "Father, I did not say that they were unfaithful to the Han Dynasty, but..., alas, I decided to let Zhang Boshen, Yuan Gongxi and Zhou Shen return to Luoyang immediately!"

Zhang Rang was happy and thought to himself that he would come back quickly. He said that these three people were not from their Tenth Equestrians, so removing them had no effect on Tenth Equestrians. The only one who had something to do was Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo's family was left behind.

"Your Majesty, there are He Suigao people among those people. If this is the case, the general may not..."

What Zhang Rang said was not a reason, and he was right to worry, but his original intention was not like this, but he knew that his meaning must be changed with Liu Hong.

"Don't worry, my father, I think it's okay to do this. As for the general, I will talk about it. I believe he will agree with my ideas!"

In Liu Hong's opinion, as long as there is no major matter about the establishment of the crown prince, He Jin will never turn against him under normal circumstances. Unless he now makes Liu Xie the crown prince, if such a thing happens, He Jin will definitely be the first to not do it. So apart from such a big thing, if it is a small matter, He Jin will finally compromise with him.

Zhang Rang laughed in his heart. This was done. Zhang Wen and the others were going to be recalled. Then the army would be Dong Zhuo alone. Even if He Jin had any objections, it would be useless. Judging from the situation, Your Majesty was determined to recall the three of them. Now that things have come to this point, it is not something that you, He Jin, can change.

"Printed..."

Just when Zhang Wen was still in the defeat against the enemy, the angels in Luoyang had already arrived with Liu Hong's imperial edict.

After the Xiaohuangmen read out the imperial edict, Zhang Wen and his friends shouted: "My memory, Zhang Wen (Yuan Pang, Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen) received the imperial edict and thanked him!!"

Although Zhang Wen, Yuan Pang and Zhou Shen were dissatisfied, they did not dare to resist the order. At least they did not have the courage or the power to compete with Liu Hong, so they could only listen obediently.

Dong Zhuo is the biggest winner this time. After all, the imperial edict was clearly stated, and Zhang Wen and the other two were summoned back to Beijing immediately, and all the big and small matters here were handed over to him. Liu Hong did not send anyone else, so this means that he was already the only commander of the army at this time. What he thought was done, can Dong Zhuo be unhappy? But this can only be a secretly happy in his heart, and he cannot show any abnormalities on the surface.

After receiving the imperial edict, the four of them invited the small yellow gate into the central army's tent and sat down with guests.

Zhang Wen and his men were nervous at this time, but he was the first to ask: "Dare you ask the angel, our army is now in a major defeat, I wonder what Your Majesty is about this?"

Xiao Huang said expressionlessly: "To be honest, my lords said that Your Majesty was furious about our defeat, so he summoned several adults back to Beijing! Here we advised you to say a few adults, after returning to Beijing, you must not let Your Majesty get angry again, otherwise no one can afford it!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wen and his friends nodded. What the angel said was a good word. When the emperor was angry, it was not something that he and others could bear.

"What the angel said is right. Wen thanked the angel first!"

Jin Yu advised herself that Zhang Wen naturally could not be rude. Not everyone is like Lu Zhi and dares to contradict the angels directly. In fact, even if many people have some opinions, they will not show anything in front of the angels, and there are really few like Lu Zhi.

Only one day later, Zhang Wen and the other three returned to Luoyang with Xiao Huangmen. There was no way. Liu Hong's imperial edict was clearly written and he returned to Beijing immediately. What is instant? To be honest, it is not instant after a day of delay, but Xiao Huangmen also turned a blind eye to it. After all, he took a lot of local specialties from Zhang Wen and others, so let's just do it. In fact, Liu Hong had nothing to do with him. He wouldn't really blame anything if he delayed a day.

After the three of them left, this place was completely the world of Dong Zhuo, and it was one step further from his goal.

In the big tent, Dong Zhuo laughed, "Wenyou, thanks to you this time, I took the position of commander and controlled the army here!"

Li Ru also smiled, "Lord, great blessings and great fortunes are all worthy! Lord, remember what Ru said in Luoyang earlier, Zhang Boshen and the other two were not worth worrying about, and now our ultimate goal is closer!"

"Not bad, not bad! It's really close, it's close again! Wenyou, sooner or later, I will completely step on the people of the gentry under my feet, so that those who look down on me who surrender to my Longxi Dong Zhongying!!"
Chapter completed!
