"Hahaha, it's very simple. We now not only have His Majesty in our hands, but also a large amount of wealth. General Fengyun is a qualified businessman. Even if he values power, I believe he prefers money."
"Are you really sure?"
"Yes. I am sure of it. Even if we run out of money, as long as we hand His Majesty over to him, our lives will be safe."
After listening to Zhang Rang's analysis, everyone felt that with this double insurance, it should be feasible.
So he agreed with Zhang Rang's idea.
Immediately afterwards, a carrier pigeon flew to Fengyun.
At this time, Fengyun was still in Sanfu and heading leisurely towards Luoyang.
Since Dong Zhuo had already entered Luoyang, he no longer provoked the other party.
"Hmm? Zhang Rang came to visit?"
This time, Fengyun did not remind Zhang Rang when Dong Zhuo would enter the city.
Since even Fengyun himself didn't know, there was no way to remind him.
I didn't expect that the old fox Zhang Rang would escape and inform me.
Since you are here, you are all guests.
Fengyun was thinking about the money on these ten eunuchs at this moment.
Of course he couldn't take it by force.
If you want to get their money, you naturally need them to be willing.
There are plenty of ways to deal with this situation.
But the most important thing is that they must have a more important person in their hands - Liu Bian.
"Hey, let's go meet him then."
How can we neglect a distinguished guest?
Now he immediately took Ma Chao and others into Luoyang.
If Zhao Mingfan was guarding the outer city of Luoyang, it would be easy for him to get in.
Ride faster.
Half a day later, these three thousand people entered Luoyang City.
As for Dong Zhuo's fighting ability, Zhao Mingfan was the only one in Luoyang, and he was very worried.
Now with Ma Chao and Lan Yu, he feels much more at ease.
This time he was going to Qiubai City alone, as Luoyang City still needed the two of them to maintain order.
Seeing Feng Yun and the others coming, Zhao Mingfan immediately went out of the city to greet them.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother. You're finally here. I see that Dong Zhuo has quite a few talented people around him. If you want to retake the palace, you'd better be careful."
Seeing his junior brother kindly reminding him, Feng Yun laughed and said:
"Brother, Dong Zhuo can occupy the palace. We only want Luoyang City. During this time, you will help me watch over the properties in Luoyang City. If anyone sells them at a low price, you will buy them all. Here is the money, take it first."
Fengyun directly gave Zhao Mingfan millions of gold coins.
This amount of money is definitely not enough, but there are definitely not many people willing to sell it at a low price now.
It only started when Dong Zhuo started to commit adultery in his harem.
Just continue to invest when the time comes.
Zhao Mingfan was not polite and took the money directly.
He is very concerned about the affairs of his junior fellow apprentice.
Then he asked again:
"Junior Brother, what are you planning to do when you enter Luoyang? Are you going to engage in a long-term standoff with Dong Zhuo?"
Fengyun shook his head.
"No, I'm just passing through."
Zhao Mingfan was a little disappointed when he heard Fengyun say this. He had been thinking that his junior brother would be able to compete with Dong Zhuo in the court.
But Fengyun’s ambition is not here.
But Fengyun's next words did not disappoint him.
"Although I will not stay, I will bring my brothers and the chief general to assist you."
Fengyun pointed at Ma Chao and said:
"His name is Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, son of Ma Teng and descendant of General Fu Bo Ma Yuan. He possesses unparalleled courage. You can have a good conversation with him next."
Only then did Zhao Mingfan's expression change when he looked at Ma Chao.
Unable to suppress the corners of his mouth, he said straightly:
"Okay, okay, I will definitely talk to him properly."
"Hmm, I wonder which walls of Luoyang City our Xiyuan Army occupies now?"
"My lord, we control the west gate, and the east and south gates are guarded by the Royal Guards."
Fengyun nodded, he thought this was acceptable.
It is not the case that the more city walls you guard, the better, as that will only disperse your troops.
However, Feng Yun came up with another plan at this time and asked:
"Who is the commander of the Royal Guards?"
"unmanned."
"Ah? Why?" Fengyun was very surprised.
"My lord, He Jin was originally in charge of the Imperial Guards, but since He Jin's death, the Imperial Guards have been leaderless."
"Then why doesn't the court appoint a garrison commander?"
"The court wants to, but with the Ten Eunuchs in place, their appointments are repeatedly rejected. So, in reality, I'm still temporarily controlling them. Just today, Zhang Rang handed me the Imperial Guards' military command, though he didn't say so explicitly."
Fengyun was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Zhang Rang was so nice to him.
If they think of us when they escape, Fengyun will definitely not treat them unfairly.
"Hahaha, good. Then these other two gates will have guards soon."
Feng Yun took the Imperial Guards' military token from Zhao Mingfan and said to Ma Chao and Lan Yu:
"Listen carefully, both of you. I now appoint Ma Chao as Commander of the Imperial Guards, and Lan Yu as Deputy Commander. Ma Chao will garrison the South Gate, and Lan Yu will garrison the East Gate. Meanwhile, Lan Yu's Black Dragon Riders will be responsible for maintaining security within Luoyang City."
"yes!"
Ma Chao and Lan Yu immediately accepted the order.
Lan Yu didn't know why. He knew that if he followed Feng Yun, he would get what he deserved sooner or later.
Ma Chao was different.
With the position of commander of the Imperial Guards, he could be considered to be eating the royal rations.
This is much more promising than his father.
It can be said that after spending so much time together, he and Fengyun are just a thin layer of window paper away from willingly surrendering.
However, Fengyun still did not dare to take any risks. He thought it would be better to let Ma Chao take the initiative to propose it, so as not to provoke him.
This time, Ma Chao finally understood everything.
"Brother Yun... No... Sir. I, Ma Chao, am willing to follow you and conquer the world."
Feng Yun was overjoyed to see Ma Chao submit to him.
Ma Chao did not kneel on one knee, but simply kowtowed.
Fengyun didn't care about so many things at this time.
He immediately said, "Hahaha. Mengqi, we are brothers, no need to be polite."
But Lan Yu heard this and immediately retorted:
"My lord, the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects cannot be abolished."
Doesn’t Fengyun want to?
You must know that the other party is now calling him Sir, not Lord.
There is a world of difference between the two.
He quickly signaled Lan Yu to stop talking, and then turned to Ma Chao and said:
"Mengqi, you stay in Luoyang and defend the city. I will take you to conquer the world when I have the chance."
"well."
Ma Chao pretended not to hear what Lan Yu said.
Fengyun also looked at Ma Chao's attributes.
Sure enough! I can’t see it.
If you just address him as "sir", then as expected, you won't be able to see his attributes.
Because the court he is loyal to now is not Fengyun.
However, Ma Chao had a very good relationship with Feng Yun, so naturally he would not break up with Feng Yun because of his official position in the court.
