He contacted a group of soldiers who were close to Lu Zhi and elected them to serve as the temporary commander of the army.

Since Liu Xiyou obtained the credit and prestige of "Zhang Jiao's head", and this position is a hot potato, there was no obstacle at all, and everyone passed it unanimously.

Many people are still laughing at Liu Xi in the bottom of their hearts, and they are crazy to want to be an official.

This major military situation has adopted the highest-level transmission method.

Within a day, the court heard the news.

The deputy commander Zong Yuan died in battle, and the army of hundreds of thousands was without a leader, and it was very likely that they would fall apart. The imperial court attached great importance to this.

At the same time, Zhang Jiao's corpse, the captured Yellow Turban Commander, and a joint recommendation letter from the officers and men recommending Liu Xi to temporarily lead the army were delivered.

Liu Xi was already well-known in Shilin, and Liu Hong had a good impression of this son of his own family. In addition to the credit for bringing Zhang Jiao's "head", Liu Xi's official position was promoted by one level.

He was appointed as General of Zhonglang, Deputy Commander of the Han Army, and acted to preside over major events.

At this time, the military position has not begun to flood, and the gold content of Zhonglang generals is very high.

General Zhonglang is already the pinnacle of his military career, equivalent to the commander of the military region in later generations.

Further up, the miscellaneous generals, side generals, four expeditions and four towns, front and rear, left and right, hussars, generals, etc., although they are military positions, do not specifically control the army.

Only when they go out can they lead the army, and they are usually in Luoyang City.

Now Liu Xi is on the same level as his teacher Lu Zhi.

The imperial court conveyed the appointment in an expedited manner, and at the same time urged Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's subordinates were mainly people from Xiliang, and there were also a large number of people from Qiang Rong.

These people fought fiercely and at the same time had a tendency to loot, which led to the poor military discipline of the Xiliang Army.

However, Dong Zhuo never imposed restraints, instead he indulged himself.

As a result, a flying bear army that made foreigners in the frontiers feel terrified.

But this time, entering the Central Plains to suppress the thieves is very different. These Han people dare not loot, otherwise they will not be able to eat and walk around.

But the wildness of the Flying Bear Army has been cultivated and it is difficult to change.

Dong Zhuo had a headache, so he marched very slowly all the way.

After receiving the documents from the court, Dong Zhuo summoned his conspirators, Li Ru, to discuss together.

Li Ru was born of a real commoner. Although he was arrogant, he was not allowed to use it.

Later, Dong Zhuo promoted him, gave him a platform to display his talents, and married his daughter to him.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Dong Zhuo for his kindness. Even if he sensed Dong Zhuo's ambition, he still tried his best to assist him.

With his assistance, Dong Zhuo jumped from an ordinary tyrant to become the biggest real power faction in Liangzhou, and even the imperial court's power in Liangzhou was not as strong as him.

Dong Zhuo also obeyed his words, relying on Gancheng.

After reading the information, Li Ru said, "I didn't expect Zhang Jiao to die!

The lord should report to the court, saying that the Qiang people are wild and hard to tame, and they are currently reorganizing their army. "

Dong Zhuo said irritably, "Is it going to be delayed? Isn't that all the merits of the war that the little boy deserves?"

Li Ru analyzed: "Although Zhang Jiao is dead, the Yellow Turbans are still huge.

The imperial army was defeated several times and suffered serious damage.

Liu Xi did not win so easily.

What's more, the lord is already attracting attention. If you hadn't joined the Yuan family and relied on them to deal with it, I'm afraid the court would have already transferred you! "

Dong Zhuo said disdainfully, "This old man has attacked so many treasures every year, of course Yuan Shi has to speak for me.

However, the court did not move me, mainly because the Qiang Rong was in chaos from time to time, and the borders were unstable.

The court did not take our soldiers in the border areas to heart at all! "

Li Ru said: "That's why my father-in-law couldn't win the battle.

If you lose the battle, the court will at most belittle it, and you will have to guard the western frontier.

If you win the battle, the imperial court will be afraid, and you will be deprived of your father-in-law's military power and transferred to the capital. "

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands fiercely and said, "Oh, it's still a good son-in-law who thinks well!

Otherwise, if the old man wins the battle, not only the emperor will be afraid of me, but Yuan Shi and other Guandong gatekeepers will also feel uneasy.

Hmph, these self-righteous guys have always looked down on us Westerners and regarded us as barbarians.

One day in the future, the old man will definitely let them know that I am not a person from Xiliang! "

After venting for a while, Dong Zhuo asked again, "What if Liu Xi loses? Does this old man want to fail on purpose?

If there are imperial troops and horses, they can be used as cannon fodder.

But if that kid completely defeated the imperial army, would he have to sacrifice the old man's Flying Bear Army? "

Li Ru shook his head and said, "No. If the imperial army is really damaged, my father-in-law doesn't have to hide.

Without this group of elite troops, the court will definitely be hurt.
