Entering October, Chang'an City has entered a cold winter. The cold wind is howling and biting, and the entire city is covered with a layer of silver. The main hall of the Imperial City is extremely warm. The red coals were burning, emitting blazing heat and dispelling the coolness of the hall. Liu Xie was wearing a dragon robe and a twelve-pointed crown. He was sitting high in the hall, sitting upright, exuding an inexplicable majesty. On the left and right sides of the main hall, sat the military officers of the court. Wang Lei is wearing armor and has a sword hanging from his waist, looking majestic. You know, the palace prohibits officers and generals from wearing weapons. Even if they bring weapons when entering the city, they will be confiscated. However, Wang Lei ignored the palace rules with a sword hanging on his waist. This move already has an unusual meaning. Liu Xie's face was livid, his eyes swept over Wang Lei from time to time, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. Dong Zhuo is arrogant, Li Ru is ruthless, but Wang Lei is domineering. When they met, he gave him a warning. Now, ignore his existence again. Damn it! This Wang Lei really deserves to die! Liu Xiexin cursed, but after all, he was born in the royal family and had experienced countless things, and his expression was very calm. A coldness flashed across his eyes, and he coughed softly: "My dear sirs, the great general must have done a great job in killing Li Ru. Such a great achievement cannot but be rewarded. How should I reward it? Do you dear sirs have any suggestions?" "Your Majesty, The old minister has something to say!" At this moment, Yang Biao strode out. When Dong Zhuo was alive, Yang Biao served as Taichang and was die-hardly loyal to the emperor. Later, when Li Ru was in power, Li Ru continued to win over the great Confucians. He valued Yang Biao very much and promoted Yang Biao to Sikong, one of the three princes. Now, as soon as Liu Xie opened his mouth, Yang Biao stepped forward, and the situation suddenly became very delicate. Everyone looked at Yang Biao with confusion in their eyes. Standing up at this time is not a suitable choice. Liu Xie's lips curled up with a smile, and he said, "What does Yang Sikong have to say?" As he spoke, he looked at Wang Lei again. Wang Lei observed the words and expressions, but his heart was like a mirror, knowing that this was a double act performed by Liu Xie and Yang Biao. However, Wang Lei couldn't help but sigh. The relationship between him and Yang Biao was not bad, and Wang Lei also had a certain friendship with Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu. When Yang Biao made a choice and sided with the little emperor, the relationship between the two parties became antagonistic. Wang Lei remained silent, watching the changes without speaking. No matter what Liu Xie did, no matter what plots Liu Xie had, for Wang Lei, it was just scratching the surface at most and would not have much impact. Liu Xie has no military power and cannot pose a threat to Wang Lei. Yang Biao's turbid eyes were extremely sharp, his expression was cold, and he said loudly: "I believe that the general Wang Lei has merit, but the general is the head of the official and military generals and a model of officials, but he wears a sword to go to the palace, which is clearly contempt. Chao Gang. No matter how much credit the general has, as long as he makes mistakes and doesn't take Chao Gang seriously, it's not worth mentioning. " His words were powerful, but these words caused a stir in the hall. There was an uproar. A layer of stone stirs up a thousand waves! Countless eyes fell on Yang Biao. Cai Yong had a strange look on his face, and he didn't understand why Yang Biao suddenly attacked at this time. It is not appropriate to come forward at this time. Fu Wan glanced at the little emperor and shook his head secretly. It was obviously unwise for the little emperor to compete with Wang Lei at this time. Obviously, his words to persuade the little emperor were unsuccessful. ¡°After all, the emperor is no longer young and has his own ideas. Wang Lei sat down with his sword in his hand and said calmly: "Yang Sikong is a highly respected man, so he should know that trouble comes from his mouth." In one sentence, he directly refuted. Today¡¯s Wang Lei doesn¡¯t care about anything. "Furthermore, this is the little emperor's unwillingness to be lonely. You can't blame him. The confrontation between the two sides had a strong smell of gunpowder. Yang Biao snorted and continued: "General Wang, I just want to ask a question, is it appropriate to go to the palace with a sword? Is it right for the general to do this in front of the emperor?" Wang Lei smiled slightly, his expression becoming calmer. , his eyes fell on Liu Xie, and he said lightly: "If my memory is correct, before me, Dong Zhuo rode in the emperor's car and went to the palace with swords and shoes; Li Ru was the same as Dong Zhuo, with extraordinary style. His Majesty did not question them before, Why are you here to blame me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" The officials who were direct and forceful, and loyal to the little emperor, looked serious. Liu Xie¡¯s expression changed drastically. He didn¡¯t expect Wang Lei to be so direct. This directly intensified the conflict between the two parties to the maximum. Could it beIsn't Lei Lei afraid of being criticized by thousands of people? Liu Xie thought for a while, took a conciliatory approach, and said: "General, Yang Sikong has no intention of targeting you." Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, what the general said is unacceptable. Dong Zhuo is Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru is Li Ru, the general is a general, how can the three be confused? Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are traitors. The general is different from them, so I naturally have to be strict. " Wang Lei knows. This was Yang Biao's sophistry. He avoided answering and asked: "May I ask Yang Sikong, how should I be punished if I wear a long sword and enter the hall?" "I should be killed according to the law!" A loud voice suddenly sounded in the hall. sounded. A young man with a slender figure and a beautiful face strode out. He stared at Wang Lei with anger on his face. Wang Lei asked: "Who are you and what position do you hold?" The young man replied: "My name is Liu Lu. After Liu Lun, the king of Guangde, I now hold the position of Dahonglu. You are roaring in the hall, showing no respect for the elderly, and disrespecting the elderly. You have committed a serious crime by going to the palace. If you don't repent, you will be infamy for thousands of years. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru will serve as a warning to you." Dong Lian stood up without even thinking about it. Before Dong Lian could step out, Wang Lei reached out and stopped Dong Lian, waving his hand for Dong Lian to sit down. The other ministers and generals loyal to Wang Lei suppressed their thoughts and did not move for the time being. Wang Lei said: "Liu Lu, you are very courageous!" Liu Lu held his head high and said: "You are not a savage beast, why should I be afraid?" "Very good, very good!" Wang Lei had a smile on his face, but a murderous intention in his heart. steaming. At this time, if we do not adopt the strategy of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys and suppress the power of the DPRK to resist him, the rear area will definitely be unstable. If Wang Lei wants to attack Cao Cao, he must have a stable rear. Although Wang Lei entrusted Jia Xu with full authority, Wang Lei naturally had to solve some unnecessary troubles for Jia Xu before leaving. Those who can be solved should be beaten to death with a stick first. Wang Lei walked slowly to Liu Lu, took off the sword from his waist, and put it on Liu Lu's body. Before Liu Lu could react, Wang Lei had already put the sword back. "Did you see it? Just now, Liu Lu was standing in the main hall with a sword. This is contempt for His Majesty and failure to abide by the laws of the court. According to Liu Lu's words, he should be beheaded!" Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and shouted coldly: "Liu Lu Lu violated the national law, so he was dragged down and chopped!" "Wang Lei, you can't kill me, you have no right to kill me," Liu Lu yelled, extremely horrified. Wang Lei ignored them and saw a group of soldiers rushing in from outside the hall. They looked so fierce that Liu Lu trembled with fright. Liu Lu quickly said: "Your Majesty, save me, save me!" Liu Xie was in a dilemma, and his eyes were extremely complicated. Liu Lu asked for help, and Liu Xie wanted to rescue him. However, Liu Xie had no choice but to turn his head away and not look at Liu Lu. Liu Xie even subconsciously blocked his ears to prevent himself from hearing Liu Lu's voice. Not long after, Liu Lu was taken out. At this time, everyone knew that Liu Lu would definitely die. Wang Lei looked around the room and said, "Anyone here, does anyone else think that I am guilty?" The ministers, generals and people loyal to the emperor lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Wang Lei again. Those who were loyal to Wang Lei all looked complacent and their eyes were filled with pride. The stronger Wang Lei is, the greater their power will be. Yang Biao stood in the main hall, extremely embarrassed. At this moment, Yang Biao is neither advancing nor retreating. It can be said that he is in a dilemma. Because if he targets Wang Lei again, he will completely anger Wang Lei. If Yang Biao doesn't confront Wang Lei, it will make the little emperor uncomfortable. When Yang Biao was in trouble, Wang Lei said: "Yang Sikong is old, and staying in the court is not good for his health. In my opinion, Yang Sikong should go home to take care of himself." In one sentence, he arranged the follow-up for Yang Biao. matter. Yang Biao did not refute, and returned to his seat dejectedly, with a calm expression on his face, but a hint of regret in his heart. I didn¡¯t expect to return home like this. Wang Lei stared at Liu Xie and continued: "The only way to achieve great governance in the world is for the emperor to rule from the top. I am about to attack Cao Cao, so I hope that your majesty will rule from the top. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable." Liu Xie was so angry that he was shaking all over. In the end, he had to Accept your fate obediently. At this point, Liu Xie had no intention of further discussion. He said a few words calmly and ordered to withdraw from the court. Wang Lei took his officials out of the city and went straight to the Taiwei Mansion. Arriving at Taiwei's Mansion, Wang Lei made simple arrangements and put things in orderHe left it to Jia Xu and Huang Zhong to deal with, then left the Taiwei Mansion, went to the military camp, and led nearly 100,000 troops to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang. Countless soldiers rushed on the road, with great momentum and extraordinary momentum. The army arrived in Luoyang and stationed temporarily. In the camp, soldiers were wearing thick clothes and hunched their necks. It was already November and the weather was very cold. Especially this winter, it is bitingly cold, even colder than in previous years. There was heavy snow everywhere, making it difficult to travel. Outside Luoyang City, there is a military tent. Wang Lei, Lu Bu, Guo Jia, Xu You, Tian Feng and others gathered together. Guo Jia lit the fire and said slowly: "My lord, this year's winter is extremely cold. It will be very difficult for the soldiers to send troops at this time. Your Majesty, please suspend the troops temporarily and send an order to Zhang Jia so that he does not have to take the initiative anymore." "Offensive, focus on defense." Xu You also said: "I agree with Commander Guo's analysis." Lu Bu said: "My lord, our troops are elite, but the more important strength is the cavalry of the Eagle Camp and the Feihu Camp. The road was blocked by heavy snow and horses could easily fall when they stepped on the ice. I thought the battle must be postponed. Wang Lei thought about it carefully and finally nodded in agreement. The war is not right, and it really needs to be slowed down for a while. Of course, Wang Lei could immediately order the soldiers to continue running towards Dongjun, but the weather was so cold that the soldiers couldn't bear it.
