fence-sitting Han ministers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who were replaced were only those who did not know how to hide their emotions and harbored hostility toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, this so-called \"Imperial Palace Grand Court Meeting\" concluded successfully under the intimidation of Dong Zhuo and his army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the civil and military officials of the Dong Zhuo army were promoted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xiong, because of his great merit at Sishui Pass, was promoted to General Who Guards the East, ranking above Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi had not wanted to be an official, but under Dong Zhuo’s persuasion, he eventually accepted the position of Magistrate of Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This position was equivalent to the top leader of the capital city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not a high-ranking court position, but it definitely held significant influence in the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>upon learning that Gu Yi had been promoted to Magistrate of Luoyang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the happiest person was definitely not Gu Yi himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Wang Yun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Yi’s status in Wang Yun’s eyes had previously been that of a rising favorite in front of Dong Zhuo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then now, Gu Yi had directly become a key figure with real power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magistrate of Luoyang might not compare to the major General titles or the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was someone who could have a say throughout the entire Luoyang territory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he possessed jurisdiction over administrative affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the imperial court meeting ended,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun immediately chased after Gu Yi as fast as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young friend Gu, I heard you don't have a place to stay in Luoyang yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a residence in the east of the city that I have always had servants clean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am old now and cannot go to the battlefield myself to render service to the country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, such matters of serving the court must be entrusted to you young people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can stay in this residence for as long as you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun knew that Gu Yi was different from the other civil and military officials of the Dong Zhuo army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of those fellows were already over thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gu Yi was not even twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Yun did not seize the time to win him over now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the remaining old guys, such as Yang Biao and Shi Sunrui, would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to win Gu Yi over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi could be considered to have joined the Dong Zhuo army halfway through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not be called a die-hard loyalist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could win over such a talented person, it would definitely be a matter of more benefits than drawbacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for Wang Yun, Gu Yi appeared even more important!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at how Wang Yun pretended to be Dong Zhuo’s loyal sycophant on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one were to talk about who in the entire city of Luoyang wanted to kill Dong Zhuo the most, it would definitely be Wang Yun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun’s wishful thinking fell through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks for the kindness, Minister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Chancellor has already arranged a place for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another day, I will certainly prepare heavy gifts to visit your residence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Dong Zhuo had already arranged a place for Gu Yi, Wang Yun simply gave up on his original idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being sharp, he instantly noted Gu Yi’s remark about \"visiting his residence another day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intuition told him that Gu Yi was hinting at something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young people are the most hot-blooded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun sized Gu Yi up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he looked, the more he felt that if a certain plan in his heart were to be executed, the success rate would be very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I must have Diao Chan hurry up and prepare after I return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Gu Yi’s departing back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>South of Luoyang City\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a great hero of the Battle of Sishui Pass and the Battle of Hulao Pass, how could Dong Zhuo not arrange a residence for his future grandson-in-law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residence he arranged for Gu Yi was a top-tier home that could be called luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he also provided Gu Yi with some servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that every detail was attended to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is worth mentioning that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shortly after Gu Yi moved in,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xiong came to his door with a roasted wild rabbit and a roasted pheasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three rounds of drinks,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xiong was already half-drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a burp and then said in a muddled manner:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Yi, tell me, if those two fellows Li Jue and Guo Si knew that my official rank is now above theirs, what would they think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jue and Guo Si,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>along with Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, were collectively known as the \"Xiliang Army F4.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the difference was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compared to the gentle-natured Zhang Ji and the rough-and-tumble Fan Chou,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jue and Guo Si were undoubtedly more hot-tempered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their ambitions were also relatively much larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Historically, the counterattack on Chang'an to execute Wang Yun was led by these two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after killing Wang Yun, these two completely let themselves go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reputation of the Xiliang Army was already poor, but while Dong Zhuo was still alive, there was some restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Dong Zhuo died, under the leadership of Li Jue and Guo Si, the Xiliang Army became even more like rats crossing the street, with everyone shouting to beat them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the worst part was not even this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made people feel extremely speechless was that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>despite sitting on an army of over a hundred thousand, Li Jue and Guo Si managed to ruin the Xiliang Army from a top-tier warlord force to a third-rate one within five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the third year of Jian'an, which was 198 AD, Li Jue and Guo Si died one after another at the hands of small warlords in the Guanzhong region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the composition of those small Guanzhong warlords?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were small separatist forces that had rebelled more than ten years ago alongside Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and Ma Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, most of these guys were former defeated subordinates of Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even such a group of people could pin Li Jue and Guo Si to the ground and rub them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it can be seen that Li Jue and Guo Si were absolutely not cut out to be lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foundation of the Xiliang Army was completely ruined at the hands of these two. ===== CHAPTER 70 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1127,"2026-06-16T09:19:20.127Z","2026-06-16T10:29:10.858Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
