Chapter 1: He is a cowardly emperor, not a cowardly emperor, assassinating Dong Zhuo!

"Your Majesty is too weak to be the common ruler of the world. I, Dong Zhuo, want to depose the emperor and establish the Prince of Chenliu as the emperor. Who agrees? Who opposes?!"

Dong Zhuo had the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf, and was arrogant and domineering. Although Liu Bian was clearly sitting on the dragon throne, in his eyes he was like a puppet. He proposed the issue of deposing and enthroning Liu Bian as if he were nothing. He had great power in the court and looked down on everyone.

All the officials in the court trembled in fear and dared not speak out in opposition.

They kept glancing at the puppet-like Han Emperor Liu Bian and noticed that he looked a little surprised, but they were not surprised, after all, Dong Zhuo was going to depose the emperor. The officials just felt ashamed of the emperor, as ministers they could not share the worries of the emperor.

But the officials didn't know that the time traveler Liu Bian had replaced the Han Emperor Liu Bian. After receiving the memories in his mind, Liu Bian gradually calmed down and just watched the performance of Dong Zhuo and the officials!

"I object!!!"

Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou and current prefect of the imperial guards, stepped forward and glared at Dong Zhuo:

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak so arrogantly here? Your Majesty is the legitimate son of the previous emperor. He has done nothing wrong since ascending the throne. What right do you have to depose him? Are you a traitor and want to rebel?!"

"Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!!!"

Dong Zhuo was furious. He had already seized the military power of the capital and held a large number of troops, which intimidated the capital. Now, someone dared to touch the tiger's beard? To openly oppose his opinion? It was a way to death!

With a clang, Dong Zhuo drew out his sword, a fierce look flashed across his face. With one step of his three hundred kilogram weight, the earth shook and the mountains trembled as he charged towards Ding Yuan.

All the officials were suddenly in an uproar!

Ding Yuan looked at him with disdain. A man stood behind him, with an imposing and majestic appearance. He wore a golden crown on his head, a battle robe with flowers, Tang Ni armor, a lion belt, and held a Fang Tian painted halberd. It was Lu Bu!
Wherever Lu Bu went to fight, he burst out with an aura that looked down on the world. The fat man Dong Zhuo stopped immediately, feeling a sense of crisis, like a wild boar encountering a tiger, extremely fearful!
Dong Zhuo was stuck in a stalemate, unable to advance or retreat. Just as the stalemate was about to end, Li Ru, who was behind him, stepped forward and tried to stop them:

"It's just a discussion, just a discussion. Gentlemen, please be patient and don't hurt the harmony. We are all for the court and for the Han Dynasty. Chongde Hall advocates virtue and it is not appropriate to resort to violence!"

All officials also asked Ding Yuan not to start a war, saying that it was disrespectful to His Majesty to use force in the imperial palace.

"Hmph!" Ding Yuan then ordered Lu Bu to retreat.

Dong Zhuo was so bold as to depose and enthrone the emperor, but the officials did not think it was disrespectful. But now Ding Yuan has stepped forward and spoken out for justice, which is disrespectful to Your Majesty!
Liu Bian watched coldly and felt it was ironic!

This discussion on "deposing the emperor" seemed to be coming to an end due to Ding Yuan's intervention, but Liu Bian was not so optimistic.

After receiving the memories in his mind, Liu Bian has figured out the current time point - Dong Zhuo has taken over the capital and is deposing the emperor to establish his authority!

The great general He Jin, a relative of the emperor, was killed by the Ten Eunuchs. Yuan Shao and his brothers took the opportunity to lead their troops to attack the imperial palace and kill all the eunuchs, who were vassals of the imperial power.

Now the two forces of supporters of imperial power - relatives by marriage and eunuchs - have been completely wiped out!
The Yuan family and other aristocratic families had the last laugh!
Yuan Wei, the Grand Tutor, was in charge of the internal affairs. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, brothers, held heavy military power in the capital and controlled the army. The Yuan family had actually reached the point of controlling the military and political power of the capital.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Yuan's former subordinate Dong Zhuo turned the table. Dong Zhuo dominated the capital with 200,000 Xiliang cavalry and eroded He Jin's old subordinates. His military power suddenly became the strongest in the capital!
Yuan Shao was trembling with fear, but the Yuan family still controlled internal affairs, and most of the officials in the court were Yuan's disciples and former officials, and they all followed the Yuan family's lead.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo wanted to gain his own political bargaining chips by "deposing the emperor and establishing his authority", control the internal affairs of the capital, and force the Yuan family to stand aside. This was the reason why he acted so recklessly to depose and enthrone.

Liu Bian knew that in the original history, Dong Zhuo was successful.

Don't think that Ding Yuan stood out and formed a confrontation with Dong Zhuo. But after Dong Zhuo bribed Lu Bu, who forgot his loyalty when he saw profit, he killed his adoptive father with Fang Tian Hua Ji. After Ding Yuan's death, Bingzhou Army was annexed by Dong Zhuo.

At this point, there was no military force that could contend with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army.

Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, was deposed and soon poisoned to death!

Faced with such a hellish start, Liu Bian naturally did not want to sit and wait for death. He had to think of a foolproof plan to break the impasse.

...

Dong Zhuo thought he had no rivals in the military, but now Ding Yuan suddenly jumped out, making him feel embarrassed. Dong Zhuo had already planned in his mind that after the meeting, he would lead his troops to kill Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan had the same plan. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were not afraid of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, not to mention that he also had Lu Bu!
This meeting ended in failure as everyone had ulterior motives.

Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan left respectively, and all officials were dismissed.

Liu Bian was also sent back to the Beigong Deyang Palace by the Xiliang Army, under house arrest in name only. As soon as he arrived, the golden finger arrived.

"Ding."

"Godi system binding successful."

"As long as the host stays on the throne, he will have a chance to draw a lottery every day at midnight (12:00 a.m.), and can randomly draw any item."

"..."

Liu Bian decided to stay down first and see the lottery mechanism and reward content of the Emperor Gou system. If you are not strong enough, you should develop in a low profile. Only when you are strong enough can you strike hard!
……

The news of the emperor being deposed in Chongde Hall today soon leaked out, causing an uproar and turmoil in the capital!
Just when the issue of deposing the emperor was being hotly discussed in the streets of the capital, Ding Yuan, with Lu Bu and his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, went directly to the temporary base of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry to challenge him to a fight!

The matter of deposing the emperor was messed up by Ding Yuan and Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo was very angry. Ding Yuan was seeking his own death. Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang army to go out in full force!

"kill!!!"

The two armies fought a fierce battle in the northern suburbs of the capital.

Lu Bu led the troops and took the lead, defeating the Xiliang generals. The Xiliang army was demoralized, and the Bingzhou army took advantage of the victory to pursue them.

Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang army were defeated and fled.

If it hadn't been for the darkening sky and the darkness which was not conducive to marching and fighting, the Bingzhou Army would probably have continued chasing and killing them. But even so, the Xiliang Army was defeated and fled for thirty miles, losing face and their morale was broken!

After reviewing the matter, the generals of the Xiliang Army discovered that it was not that the Xiliang Army was inferior to the Bingzhou Army, but that Lu Bu, a general under Ding Yuan, was so brave that he could be defeated by ten thousand men and could be called the most powerful general in the world. This was the real reason that led to the defeat of the Xiliang Army!
At this time, Li Su volunteered: "My lord, Lu Bu and I are from the same hometown. This general is brave but not wise, and forgets his loyalty when he sees profit. As long as there is enough profit, he will definitely lead his troops to surrender!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and asked, "What benefits do you need to persuade Lu Bu to surrender?"

Li Su said, "My lord, weapons, armor and horses are of vital importance to a general. I see that Lu Bu's weapons and armor are extraordinary, but his horse is mediocre.

"It just so happens that you have a Red Hare under your command, which can travel a thousand miles a day. With this Ferghana horse, plus gold and silver treasures, I will use my eloquence, emotion and reason to persuade Lu Bu to rebel against Ding Yuan and come to you!"

Dong Zhuo was also a military commander, so it was painful for him to give up his beloved Red Hare. So he looked at Li Ru and asked, "What do you think, Wenyou?"

"My lord, if you want to conquer the world, why should you be stingy with a horse?!"

"it is good!"

Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and was decisive. With a wave of his hand, he not only agreed to give up the Red Hare, but also allocated gold, silver, treasures, silks and satins to Li Su, asking him to persuade Lu Bu to surrender the next day and he must succeed!
After solving their worries, the generals of the Xiliang Army relaxed a little, and as it was almost midnight, they finally went to sleep, waiting for Li Su's performance tomorrow.

……

It was late at night and the entire capital was asleep, but Liu Bian in Deyang Palace had eyes as bright as morning stars and was not sleepy at all.

The news that the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army fought a fierce battle today and that the Bingzhou Army had the upper hand has reached the palace.

The Xiliang army soldiers in the palace were worried and their morale was low. The originally heavily guarded imperial palace was also riddled with holes.

But Liu Bian had no one under his command. All his relatives and eunuchs were wiped out. He was like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. He was just a commander without any troops and had no chance to take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, Liu Bian also knew that the victory of the Bingzhou army was just adding fuel to the fire and would soon lead to failure!
The next step should be that Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to bribe Lu Bu. This filial son directly killed Ding Yuan and led his troops to join Dong Zhuo!

Liu Bian did not place his hopes on Ding Yuan. Having lived two lives, Liu Bian knew that he had to rely on himself for everything!

Time passed minute by minute, and finally midnight arrived, which was twelve o'clock in the evening.

The system beep appears again.

"Ding dong."

"The host has obtained a chance to draw a lottery."

“Should we hold a lottery?” As expected, justice may be late, but the system’s rewards will never be!
"lottery!"

Liu Bian drew the lottery decisively, and soon a turntable appeared in front of him with a lot of categories written on it.

There are attribute points or secret manuals to improve one's own strength, military supplies such as food, weapons, armor, and horses, auxiliary talents such as military generals and civil officials, combat effectiveness or productivity such as military strength and population, and so on.

Of course, there’s no “thank you for participating” on it!
At this time, the lottery was coming to an end, the pointer went from fast to slow and then gradually stopped, and it came to the most exciting part -

"Congratulations on drawing Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Factory!"

"Tip: Any talent drawn by the host will have 100% loyalty!"

There was a flash of light.

Cao Zhengchun, dressed in black and with white hair, came to Liu Bian with a big smile and two dimples on his face, and saluted respectfully:
"Your servant Cao Zhengchun pays respect to His Majesty!"

Liu Bian was very satisfied with the lottery result!

Cao Zhengchun, the best director of the East Factory in the world!

This is a world of martial arts with true qi and light skills. When Cao Zhengchun and Tiedan Shenhou fought in the end, they could be said to have moved mountains and seas, and destroyed dry trees and rotten wood with ease!
Moreover, 100% loyalty is what makes Liu Bian most assured!

"Cao Zhengchun, show me your martial arts skills."

"Slave, you obey!"

Cao Zhengchun immediately displayed his martial arts, releasing his Tiangang Tongzi Kung Fu's true energy, sweeping away thousands of troops, and making his body invulnerable to swords and spears. The bluestone slabs on the ground could not withstand a step, and cracked like a spider web.

martial arts master!!!

Liu Bian felt relieved and immediately came up with a plan.

"You are very good."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian's commendation made Cao Zhengchun very excited, and he continued:

"Dong Zhuo recklessly deposed and enthroned the emperor. The Xiliang army was defeated in the battle with the Bingzhou army today. The army's morale is low and the defense is lax. This is the best opportunity for assassination! I hope you can assassinate Dong Zhuo. Can you do it?"

As long as Dong Zhuo dies, the Xiliang army will be leaderless and in chaos. The Xiliang army will also fight for the throne!

As for the system called "Emperor Gou", Liu Bian can only say that he is not strong enough and can develop in a low-key manner, but when the throne and life are threatened, Liu Bian will decisively strike hard, and when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be buried!

He is the "Coward Emperor", not the "Coward Emperor"!
"In my opinion, the Xiliang Army is nothing but a bunch of idiots. The thief Dong dared to commit treason and offend the emperor. He deserves death! He deserves to be killed!" Cao Zhengchun smiled softly, but his tone was full of murderous intent. "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Go ahead, and be careful on the road!"

"promise!"

After Cao Zhengchun retreated, he avoided the guards of the Xiliang Army and left the palace, heading for the Xiliang Army's camp. Today, the Xiliang Army was defeated by the Bingzhou Army. As expected, the army was demoralized and the defense was lax, so Cao Zhengchun easily approached the commander's camp.

"Humph, just a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

Cao Zhengchun broke into the commander's camp to assassinate him, but the person lying inside was not Dong Zhuo at all, but just his substitute. His assassination was immediately exposed, and the sharp sounds of drums and gongs echoed in the camp in the night.

"There are assassins!!!"

The night watch soldiers immediately surrounded Cao Zhengchun. He secretly cursed his bad luck, but he also knew that he could not stay for long as he had lost the best opportunity for assassination. He could only break through the encirclement and escape.

It is true that the Xiliang Army was defeated by the Bingzhou Army today, but Dong Zhuo is afraid of death and is naturally cautious about his own safety. The only person he sent to the camp was a stand-in to cover up his tracks because he was afraid of being assassinated.

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was awakened decisively. All the generals of the Xiliang Army gathered around him immediately, all wearing their armor and riding their horses. Dong Zhuo said angrily:
"It must be the old villain Ding Yuan! Our Xiliang army was defeated today, and he obviously wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue us!"

The generals all agreed with this!

"Mr. Dong, the assassin has escaped!"

"damn it!"

Dong Zhuo was filled with rage, and immediately said to Li Su: "I will give you another batch of gold and silver treasures. Tomorrow, no matter what happens, you must surrender to Lu Bu. I will make sure that old villain Ding Yuan is killed without a burial place!"

"I obey your command!" Li Su accepted the order.

……

When Cao Zhengchun returned to the palace, the sky was already turning pale. He felt ashamed of his failure in his late night assassination attempt. After entering the palace, he knelt down in front of Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and the assassination failed!"

"..."

What happened to the promise that "the Xiliang army is nothing but chickens and dogs"? !
Liu Bian felt regretful, but he also knew that the Xiliang army was large in numbers and powerful, and even if they were defeated today, their leader Dong Zhuo would not be easily assassinated!

"Dong Zhuo is the leader of the Xiliang Army. Assassinating him is a risky move. It is not your fault. Don't mind it!"

"I deserve to die. I am ashamed of my Majesty!"

"You don't need to blame yourself! Now I will give you a chance to make amends."

Liu Bian quickly regrouped and gave another task: "Try to leave the palace and go to the Bingzhou military camp to inform Ding Yuan of something -

"Li Su, a general under Dong Zhuo, is from the same hometown as Lu Bu. After the defeat yesterday, Dong Zhuo will definitely send Li Su to bring treasures and horses to bribe Lu Bu. Ding Yuan must be careful not to be assassinated!
"Can you complete this?"

Since Cao Zhengchun's assassination attempt on Dong Zhuo failed, Liu Bian had to find another way to prevent Dong Zhuo from persuading Ding Yuan to surrender to Lu Bu and thus causing him to be killed by Lu Bu.

As long as Ding Yuan is alive, the Bingzhou Army can completely check and balance Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army.

Only when the two of them are pulling each other can Liu Bian benefit!
As long as he is given enough time, Liu Bian will be able to grow stronger soon by drawing a lottery every day. By then, he will let the Xiliang Army see what it means when the Emperor is angry and millions of people are killed!

"I will definitely complete the mission!!!"

Cao Zhengchun was touched when he heard this. Isn't this just a task of a messenger? It's so easy!
This is not making up for one's mistakes, this is simply giving away credit! Your Majesty still loves this old slave!
"Go ahead, and be careful on the road!"

"promise!"

Cao Zhengchun was moved again when he heard this. How could he gain Ding Yuan's trust if His Majesty didn't give him a token? Couldn't he reveal his identity?
After pausing for a while to make sure Liu Bian had finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and left.

Sometimes, as a minister, one must understand the emperor's intentions and ask His Majesty to explain everything clearly. What else do they, the servants, need to do?
Cao Zhengchun thought about it and decided not to reveal his identity for the time being and sneak into Ding Yuan’s Bingzhou Army’s temporary base.

It was dawn, and the soldiers on guard were the most tired and relaxed. Cao Zhengchun was a martial arts expert and took great pains to infiltrate the army and approached Ding Yuan's tent.

Cao Zhengchun lurked for a quarter of an hour and finally knocked out a guard, then he found an opportunity to enter the tent.

At the time of cockcrow, the soldiers in the Bingzhou military camp woke up one after another and started a new day of military life.

As the commander-in-chief, Ding Yuan could actually sleep until noon, but as a military man, he was a very self-disciplined person and had already gotten up and put on his armor.

But at this moment, Cao Zhengchun suddenly appeared behind him, which scared Ding Yuan. He was so frightened that he immediately wanted to draw his sword and fight back.

"Assassin!" He wanted to say the word, but Cao Zhengchun blocked his mouth first. The dagger was already at his throat, and he could even feel the sharpness of the dagger through his moving Adam's apple. Ding Yuan broke out in sweat on his forehead and swallowed his words back!

Cao Zhengchun's face was full of smiles, with two dimples hanging on his face. His drake-like voice echoed out:
"I came here to tell you that Li Su, a general under Dong Zhuo, is from the same hometown as Lu Bu. After the defeat yesterday, Dong Zhuo will definitely send Li Su to bribe Lu Bu with treasures and horses. Be careful not to be assassinated!"

After saying this, Cao Zhengchun retreated, retracted the dagger, and turned away. Ding Yuan was left standing there in shock, still thinking about the hidden meaning of Cao Zhengchun's words.
