After another night of rest outside Xinfeng County, Liu Zhang set off from camp and returned to Chang'an City.

They left the seriously injured soldiers in Xinfeng County to recuperate, and then escorted the captives and the baggage wagon with minor injuries. It took them two days to return to Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City, the Juncheng and the Junwei immediately panicked when they learned that Liu Zhang was attacking Niu Fu's army this time.

"Master Taishou, how could you attack Niu Fu's army?" Jun Cheng asked in horror.

"Why can't I?" Liu Zhang asked without answering.

"Niu Fu is Dong Xiangguo's son-in-law. If you attack his army, it is tantamount to rebellion."

"Oh!" Liu Zhang remained calm, and looked at the county lieutenant Jiang Ming again. "You think so too?"

"Yes, my lord," Jiang Ming, the county captain, nodded, "Dong Xiangguo now controls the imperial court and has 20 soldiers under his command. We, Jing Zhaoyin, cannot fight against him. To be an enemy of Dong Xiangguo is to be an enemy of the imperial court." ah!"

"You two actually think like this, what about you?" Liu Zhang looked at the other officials in the meeting hall.

When the rest of the people heard that Liu Zhang's words were not right, they stopped talking indiscriminately.

"Look at it!" Liu Zhang looked around at the crowd, and suddenly took out a yellow edict from his sleeve, "This is the emperor's edict."

Under the prefect, Jun Cheng was the biggest, and Jun Cheng was about to take over the imperial edict from Liu Zhang, but he avoided it.

At this moment, Jun Cheng realized that something was wrong.

Liu Zhang handed the edict to Chang Shi. Chang Shi was shocked after reading it. He closed the edict tremblingly and passed it on to the officials below.

The rest of the officials realized something when they saw the expression on Chang Shi's face.

They carefully and quickly circulated the edict, and finally it reached the hands of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.

At this time, all the officials looked at the two of them strangely, and someone understood something in their hearts.

This time, Liu Zhang did not prevent the two of them from reading the imperial edict.

"This this"

Junwei Jiang Ming didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but as a scholar, Juncheng guessed it, and he looked at Liu Zhang in horror.

When Liu Zhang saw Jun Cheng coming and going, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a sneer.

"Dong Zhuo harmed the court, abolished the emperor, harmed the officials, and harmed the common people. He is a traitor to our Han Dynasty. You two, each of you is Dong Xiangguo. It seems that the two of you are Dong's gangsters."

"Master Taishou, I."

Jun Cheng was about to explain, but Liu Zhang interrupted brutally, and he didn't give the other party a chance to explain.

"This prefect has decided to follow the imperial edict to form an alliance with the princes, wipe out Dong's thieves, clean up the government and the people, and restore peace to the world. Since the two of you are Dong Zhuo's accomplices, I happen to be short of two heads to sacrifice the flag. What do you think?" Liu Zhang Looking at the crowd coldly.

"Liu Zhang, you can't."

The county lieutenant Jiang Ming finally understood what Liu Zhang was going to do. He wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of himself, such a vicious Liu Zhang, such a smiling Liu Zhang.

"The prefect is wise, and we are willing to be pawns, and form an alliance with your lord to defeat the Dong thief!"

In the meeting hall, everyone understood the situation and all spoke.

"You, you actually..." Jun Cheng and Jun Wei were taken aback, they stared at them dumbfounded, they didn't expect that they all agreed with Liu Zhang to kill him.

"Shut up, Dong Bandit will be punished if everyone gets it, you two dare to collude with Dong Bandit, it's really audacious!" An official who is usually better with the county's prime minister scolded out of righteousness.

"Since everyone agrees, it's settled." Liu Zhang suddenly shouted to the door, "Come on!"

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers came outside the meeting hall. After they entered, they immediately surrounded the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.

"Take them down, put them in a big prison, and keep them under strict supervision. No one is allowed to visit the prison."

"Here!" County lieutenant Jiang Ming still wanted to draw his sword to resist, but under the attack of more than a dozen soldiers, he was quickly defeated.

They took Juncheng and Junwei away. Liu Zhang didn't intend to let them go, and immediately ordered soldiers to search their homes.

Juncheng and Junwei are both from the Jingzhaoyin family and have connections with Jingzhaoyin officials. Liu Zhang has long known that although these two people are respectful to him on the surface, they have never done anything to be sorry for him.

However, the influence of these two people in Jing Zhaoyin is too great. If they are not removed, it will affect his rule in Jing Zhaoyin.

There was nothing in the past, but this time Liu Zhang wants to fight for the world, these two factors of instability must be eliminated.

It happened that this time Liu Zhang was given the opportunity to get rid of the two and the families behind them in one fell swoop. In the face of the righteousness of the court, many aristocratic families in Jing Zhaoyin dared not say anything, and no one pleaded for them.

However, Liu Zhang is not so stupid as to raise troops now, because Tongguan is still in the hands of Huayin County, Hongnong County.

Dong Zhuo's control of Tongguan is equivalent to curbing Liu Zhang's best way to advance eastward.

After Cao Cao issued the edict, he set up troops in Chenliu. With the support of the great businessman Wei Hong, he pulled up a team of 5000 people. The rest of the princes also contacted each other and came to Suanzao one after another.

Among them, nineteen princes responded, and they were
In the first town, the later general Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu.

In the second town, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.

In the third town, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou.

In the fourth town, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou.

In the fifth town, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County.

In the sixth town, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.

In the seventh town, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun.

In the eighth town, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Sanyo.

In the ninth town, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei.

In the tenth town, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai.

No.11 town, Guangling prefect Zhang Chao.

No.12 Town, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou.

No.13 town, Xiliang prefect Ma Teng.

No.14 Town, Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan.

No.15 town, Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang.

No.16 Town, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, Changsha prefect.

No.17 town, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, the Marquis of Qi Township.

No.18 Town, Cao Cao.

No.19 town, Liu Zhang, the prefect of Jingzhao Yin.

The soldiers and horses brought by the alliance of princes vary, with as many as [-] and as few as [-].

The time of coming to Suanzao is different depending on the distance, but Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, and Liu Zhang, the prefect of Jingzhaoyin, cannot come to Suanzao. They can only support in Guanzhong and attack Dong Zhuo's forces in Guanzhong.

As the initiator of the edict, Cao Cao set up a big camp in Suanzao and waited for the princes. After a month, the seventeen princes finally arrived one after another.

They set up a big camp in Suanzao and discussed how to attack Dong Zhuo.

In Luoyang city, some spies had passed on the matter of the Shandong princes' alliance to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was so angry that he was furious at the court meeting.

Luoyang City is located in the middle of the world, with Dahe in the north, Nanyang County in the south, Yaohan Pass in the west, and two important passes in the east—Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass.

Fortunately, there is no movement in Yaohan Passage or Nanyang County. Dong Zhuo ordered Zhang Ji to guard Sishui Pass and Hua Xiong to guard Hulao Pass.

As a result, Luoyang still has more than [-] soldiers and horses.

Dong Zhuo sits in Luoyang and always pays attention to the situation of the two passes.
