Chapter 29: Dong Zhuo’s Execution

With gongs blaring to clear the way and drums playing loudly, Dong Zhuo drove into the palace in high spirits in a green-covered carriage that could only be used by the emperor.

One can imagine how excited Dong Zhuo was when his long-cherished wish came true. If the abdication could succeed this time, it would be thanks to Wang Yun. When he thought of Wang Yun, he thought of Diao Chan, and Dong Zhuo's heart suddenly became warm.

When I turned the corner and came to the main hall, I saw Wang Yun and more than 20 ministers waiting in front of the door, each holding a sword.

Dong Zhuo was shocked and doubtful, but thinking that Wang Yun had played a great role in his ascension to the throne, he allowed the carriage to take him forward.

As soon as he reached the front of the palace and before he could speak loudly, Li Su suddenly attacked Dong Zhuo and stabbed Dong Zhuo with his sword. However, he did not expect that Dong Zhuo was wearing silver iron armor and could not be hurt by the sword.

Dong Zhuo turned around and wounded Li Su with a punch, and then drove out of the palace first.

Wang Yun shouted: "The rebels have arrived, where are the guards?" In an instant, more than a hundred guards rushed out from both sides, holding halberds and swords, and hooked Dong Zhuo's carriage. Then everyone worked together and completely destroyed the carriage.

overturned.

Dong Zhuo rolled to the ground, and with agility that was incompatible with his fat body, he avoided the weapons that were stabbed at him. He also grabbed a long halberd and waved it around. Four or five guards were knocked to the ground in a blink of an eye.

.

Dong Zhuo took a step back and shouted: "Where is my son Fengxian?"

Lu Bu slowly walked out of the crowd and said, "Dong Zhuo, today I, Lu Bu, have been ordered to punish thieves. What else do you have to say?"

Dong Zhuo's expression froze, and he said angrily: "You villain, you don't even think about who gave you such a high official position, how dare you betray me."

"If you want to complain, just complain about yourself and the world." After saying this, Lu Bu raised his halberd and stabbed Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo waved his halberd to resist, but he was no match for Lu Bu. Later, he got tired of drinking and sex, and his martial arts skills even stopped advancing and retreated. He could not resist Lu Bu's attack. After a dozen moves, he was knocked to the ground by Lu Bu.

Just following the relationship between father and son, Lu Bu didn't know for a while whether he should take his head. At this time, Li Su came up and without saying a word, cut off Dong Zhuo's head with a sword, and then handed it to Lu Bu. He said: "Traitor.

He has been executed, and I congratulate the general on his great achievements."

Lu Bu glanced at Li Su with a complicated expression, took Dong Zhuo's head, turned around and walked outside.

Dong Zhuo was dead, and the soldiers he left outside the palace were leaderless. They all surrendered due to Lu Bu's power.

At the same time, Xu Kang and Li Ru were still confronting each other in the tea shed outside the palace.

Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't understand, how can you be sure that I will help you? Aren't you afraid that I will deliberately retaliate after I pretend to promise you? You must know that although you are not in the palace now, you may not be able to escape the murder of Dong Zhuo.

"

Xu Kang said with a smile: "I don't dare to take credit for this, because this matter has nothing to do with me. But if you want to take revenge on me, it's okay, because it involves a person who is extremely close to me."

Li Ru thought for a moment and suddenly said: "It's Wang Yun's daughter Xiu'er."

Xu Kang nodded, acknowledging it.

Li Ru asked curiously: "What does she have to do with you?" Then he replied: "Is she your woman?" Seeing Xu Kang's silence, Li Ru sneered: "I didn't expect that for the sake of glory and wealth, you

Are you willing to give up anything?"

Xu Kang's face suddenly turned cold and he said: "You have underestimated me, you have underestimated Xiu'er, and you have also underestimated the hatred of people in the world towards Dong Zhuo. Xiu'er wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, all because of chivalry. If she hadn't insisted,

How could I agree to let her take such a huge risk? There are countless people like Dong Zhuo in the world, how can killing one person save the world?"

Li Ru looked at Xu Kang in surprise, lowered his head and said: "I was too abrupt. I didn't expect that Marquis Kang Ting would have such an ambition. But, if that was the case, you shouldn't have come to me. Now Li Ru has long been

You will be in infamy for thousands of years and be despised by the world. With me, all you will get is infamy."

"You are talking about the Young Emperor's matter." Xu Kang said: "This matter is really troublesome, so I hope you can change your name and work for me."

Li Ru said with a smile: "I assisted Dong Zhuo. Although he is still in the world, I still made him the overlord of the world, and he was even close to becoming the emperor. At this point in my life, I have nothing more to ask for. So I am already tired.

I don’t want to help anyone fight for world domination anymore.”

Xu Kang sighed and said: "I also know that it is difficult to convince you. In this case, I have to wrong you first. Before you change your mind, I can only imprison you first."

Li Ru said: "Wouldn't it be easier if you killed me with one sword?"

"I can't bear to do this." Xu Kang smiled and immediately ordered someone to take him away.

The high city wall of Meiwu was now filled with strife. Dong Huang, wearing a battle armor, looked at the densely packed army outside the city with a panic expression, and screamed: "Zhang Liao, you are so brave, you dare to rebel.

?”

It turned out that Xu Kang sent his soldiers under the pretext of escorting Diao Chan back to Pingcheng to avoid disaster, and secretly passed the news that Dong Zhuo was about to be executed to Xun You, and ordered him to use all the troops in Pingcheng to attack Meiwu. This is because Dong Zhuo's treasures collected over the years are stored here.

Almost all of Xu Kang's belongings were taken away. Even if he only took away a small part, it was enough for Xu Kang to grow rapidly.

This time when troops were dispatched to Pingcheng, Xun You was the leader and Zhang Liao was the deputy. However, Dong Huang only knew Zhang Liao, so he called out his name as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhang Liao ignored Dong Huang's dying words and said to Xun You: "Although Meiwu is strong, there are not many soldiers inside. According to reports from spies, there are only a thousand defenders in Meiwu now. The rest were taken away by Dong Zhuo

Chang'an."

Xun You nodded and said: "Based on the time, Dong Zhuo should have been executed by this time, but it is a pity that the news of his death has not been received yet, otherwise the soldiers in the city would have collapsed without a fight."

Zhang Liao said: "But we can't wait any longer. It's impossible for the court to let such a big piece of fat go."

Xun You said: "This is natural, but since the opponent only has a thousand people, with the tens of thousands of troops in our hands, it must be more than enough. Let's attack. It can also be used to train troops and let these little tigers really smell the blood.

What does it taste like?"

Zhang Liao smiled lightly, and with a wave of his hand, the Meiwu offensive and defensive battle officially began.

Zhang Liao deceived the opponent's small number of soldiers, sent a large army to surround him on all sides, and attacked with all his strength.

Dong Huang was just a playboy of the Dong family. He didn't know how to command a battle. He just urged the soldiers to come forward to fight, vowing to completely block Zhang Liao's army outside the city.

However, this played into Zhang Liao's wish. If Dong Huang could be calmer and rely on the favorable terrain of Meiwu, he could still cause greater damage to Zhang Liao's army even though he only had more than a thousand people at his disposal.

Now, Zhang Liao rushed to the top of the city and opened the city gate without spending many casualties.

Tens of thousands of soldiers immediately swarmed in.

Xun You was the last to enter Meiwu, but the place had been made a mess by the soldiers.

Zhang Liao walked towards him and said, "All the Dong family have been captured. Sir, would you like to go and have a look?"

Xun You said: "What's so interesting about this? Our mission is just to collect the treasures in Meiwu. As for these Dong clan members, let the imperial court take care of them."

Zhang Liao responded "yes" and said: "A total of 600,000 taels of gold and 5 million taels of platinum were seized this time, as well as countless other kinds of qiluo, jewelry, utensils, and food."

Xun You nodded and said, "Is the Dahe Gang's boat here?"

"Already stopped by the river."

"Well, immediately send soldiers to transport half of the gold, silver, and jewelry to the ship." Xun You said, "As for the food, our soldiers will transport it."

"What about the rest?" Zhang Liao looked at the large amount of jewelry left behind and asked with some distress.

Xun You smiled and said: "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't take everything away. We have to leave something for others. Otherwise, we will have too many enemies."

The next day, when Huangfu Song hurriedly arrived with thousands of soldiers, Xun You had already arranged everything perfectly. Then he gave up control of Meiwu.

Huangfusong checked the treasures that had been packed. Although the quantity was large, it was still far behind everyone's expectations. Therefore, he went to Xun You specifically and said: "This batch of treasures is the cornerstone of the imperial court's reconstruction. I hope Gongda can uphold it."

With great righteousness, hand over all the gold and silver that you have in your hands."

Xun You said with a smile: "Sir Huangfu's words are unreasonable. It is for the sake of the people of the world that I led my soldiers to attack Meiwu regardless of casualties and sealed up all the gold and silver. Today, the general did not mention rewarding the heroes, but slandered us for being greedy for money.

.Could it be that you saw us taking your credit and deliberately came to retaliate."

"You." Huangfusong's face turned purple with anger, but in the end he had to drop the matter because there was no evidence.

So when Xu Kang finally returned to Kangtinghou Mansion and saw the mountains of treasures, he was overjoyed.

I didn’t expect that being a good person can also make money. Doesn’t this correspond to the saying of “fame and wealth”?

Just when Xu Kang was enjoying his rare cultivation in Pingcheng, bad news came from Chang'an again. Wang Yun actually sent Cai Yong to death row.

Xu Kang was shocked when he heard this. He was so dazzled by the treasure in front of him that he even forgot about Cai Yong being killed by Wang Yun.

At that moment, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately mobilized an army of 10,000 men and marched to Chang'an in a mighty manner.

Outside the Shangshu's Mansion, Xu Kang personally delivered a greeting card. After a while, a steward informed him to come in.

In the living room, Wang Yun didn't wait for Xu Kang to express his intention before reprimanding him: "What do you mean? Do you want to rebel? You actually gathered the troops to Chang'an City to come."

Xu Kang said: "I just want to ask Lord Shangshu what he meant. We just killed Dong Zhuo, does Lord Shangshu want to eradicate dissidents?"

"Cai Yong actually cried for Dong Zhuo. Why not kill him as a warning to others?"

"I don't know if the other people are good, but Cai Yong is my master. Although he is a bit tortuous, he has saved countless people in Yongzhou. This time, the people spontaneously stopped and wanted to ask the Lord Shangshu to show mercy outside the law.

.

"Do ordinary people carry knives and swords?"

"These are only for self-defense, adults should also know that the world is not peaceful."

"You threaten me?"

"This is not a threat. I just don't understand. Lord Wang has been compromising in front of Dong Zhuo for so many years. Now he has finally been eradicated. He is not busy improving relations with the princes of Shandong, but he is killing people here. What's the point?"

"Don't you want to be Dong Zhuo's second best?" Xu Kang said aggressively.
