Time, in the blink of an eye, has arrived at the beginning of 192 AD.
Xie Xin gained nothing from the Jingzhou Aristocratic Family. Just as Sima Hui said, the Jingzhou Aristocratic Family was too weak. They were used to stability and did not dare to place bets even if they faced a gambling game with a winning rate of 90%.
Xie Xin also went to them to recruit students with the intention of giving it a try, but almost no family was willing to let their children enroll. And the so-called almost was because the Ma family in Xiangyang was persuaded by Xie Xin that Huaxia Academy would start school next semester.
At that time, Ma Liang, his legitimate son, will be sent to Huaxia Academy.
Although he is not the eldest son, Xie Xin is already very happy. After all, his trip is not in vain.
The princes began to fall silent, and everyone was digesting their own territory. The local aristocratic families had been entrenched for too long, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion had destroyed people's livelihood in various parts of the Han Dynasty, so it would take some time before they were able to expand externally.
History has reached this point and has become very chaotic. What is amazing is that as the person in charge of history, Tiandao, he did not interfere with the development of this situation at all.
Since Heaven doesn't care about it, Xie Xin is happy and at ease.
Firstly, he also needs to digest the legacy of the Blood Hand Sect; secondly, with the addition of the Xu family, a family of medicinal pills, he needs him to make arrangements and rectify it.
The entire Han Dynasty has temporarily entered a period of calm.
Of course, except Yongzhou.
The source of the chaos is the magic skill that Dong Zhuo practiced.
Dong Zhuo was too old to practice magic skills, and as his practice deepened, it became more and more difficult for him. This difficulty did not come from the improvement of his realm, but because his body's ability to resist the erosion of magic skills was getting worse and worse.
Especially in recent times, in order to accelerate the improvement of his realm, he did not hesitate to resort to the method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang. As a result, a large number of young women in Yongzhou were snatched into the Wansuiwu by Dong Zhuo on the same day, and were taken to the mass graves and discarded the next day.
Already.
The method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang is not useless, but the method recorded in the magic power is too overbearing. When the level is rapidly improved, the Qi in the body will become more chaotic. As a result, Dong Zhuo's ability to suppress the magic power continues to decline.
.
Finally, at the beginning of 1922, he became possessed directly.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo has been completely eroded by the magic power and has become a devil who only knows how to kill and rape.
Everyone discovered that something was wrong with Dong Zhuo, so they immediately escaped from Wansuiwu.
"Where are you running!" The possessed Dong Zhuo saw everyone leaving one after another, and his remaining sanity completely disappeared, and he killed everyone he saw.
Not long after, Lu Bu in Chang'an received the news.
"What, my foster father is crazy?!" Lu Bu shouted in surprise.
"Back to my lord, according to the survivors who escaped from Wansuiwu, after Dong Zhuo came out to practice magic skills yesterday, he almost killed everyone he saw. No one's advice is of any use!" Cao Xing answered truthfully.
"Oops, this is a demon!" Lu Bu is a martial artist, so he naturally knows what this situation means.
"Lord, what are we going to do now?" Cao Xing asked expectantly.
"Get your horses ready immediately and let me go to Wansuiwu to have a look!" Lu Bu said anxiously.
"My lord, Dong Zhuo has gone crazy. Why don't we take the opportunity to seize the city of Chang'an and become independent?" Song Xian, an old subordinate, stepped forward and asked.
"That has to wait until I see my adoptive father. If we don't stop him in time, the whole of Chang'an will be destroyed!" Lu Bu was too lazy to talk nonsense with these guys.
"It's not that exaggerated?" Brother-in-law Wei Xu asked.
"My foster father is now possessed by a demon, as if he is burning his own life, and will be burned out at any time. But before he burns out, he will gain the strength of an immortal. If it is not stopped, God knows how many people will die or be injured!" Lu Bu!
He got on his horse, finished speaking, and immediately rode away.
Seeing Lu Bu quickly walk away, Song Xian and others gathered together.
"Wenyuan, what do you think about this matter?" Wei Xu is Lu Bu's relative after all, and he has the most say.
"I am nothing more than a mortal. I can only watch my lord take risks without being able to rescue him. Now I am extremely frustrated. Do I have any ideas?" Zhang Liao sighed.
They had followed Lu Bu on his expeditions to the east and west for a long time, and they had some impressions of what the so-called monks were like.
It is precisely because of this impression that I know how terrifying the monks are.
The battle between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu was a battle between two monks, and its scope transcended the realm of mortals.
Under such circumstances, if mortals like them join in, they will have no use except causing trouble for Lu Bu.
"Wait a minute, since Dong Zhuo is possessed by the devil, doesn't his brother Dong Min want to seize power? Even if he doesn't, his nephew Dong Huang will not miss this good opportunity to seize power?" Cao Xing said suddenly.
"You mean..." Wei Xu felt that the situation seemed not good.
"Since we want to seize power, we must seize the military power in our hands. After all, we are not Dong Zhuo's old subordinates.
After our military power is taken away, perhaps as long as we remain loyal to him, our future glory and wealth can be guaranteed.
But as my lord is Dong Zhuo's adopted son, I'm afraid Dong Huang or Dong Min won't let him go?" Cao Xing said seriously.
"That makes sense... No, we can't sit still and wait for death!" Wei Xu became even more anxious.
His qualifications are mediocre. Without Lu Bu's care, his life is destined to end in mediocrity.
"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Liao also had a solemn face.
"While Dong Min and the others haven't reacted, take control of Chang'an immediately! When the lord comes back, as Dong Zhuo's adopted son, let him inherit everything Dong Zhuo has!" Cao Xing replied firmly.
"Okay, that's it!" Upon hearing this, everyone agreed without much thought.
So, after some arrangements, everyone took action.
On the other side, Lu Bu galloped away from Chang'an and headed towards Wansuiwu.
"Damn it, the evil aura is getting stronger and stronger!" The closer Lu Bu got to Wansuiwu, the more intense the evil aura became.
"咴咴..." Not far away, the red rabbit horse made a frightened sound and stopped moving forward.
"Haha, after all, it is an ordinary horse in the world. Although it is outstanding, it still cannot do it at the critical moment..." Lu Bu got off the horse and gently stroked its shoulder.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally," Red Rabbit lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake.
"I'm not blaming you. This place is not something you can bear. Go and wait for me somewhere further away. I'll go back to pick you up later!" Lu Bu smiled and patted its butt gently.
Chitu has been following him for a while, and the relationship between the man and the horse is still very deep. Chitu understood what Lu Bu meant, and had no choice but to turn around and walk away gradually.
"This beast..." Lu Bu smiled and shook his head, speeding up and running forward.
The further you go, the denser the evil spirit becomes, and everything around you is eroded by this evil spirit and either withers or dies directly. At a glance, it looks like a complete hell on earth.
To describe it in the most vivid way, a top-level gas bomb exploded in this area.
Lu Bu used his magic skills and used his true energy to protect his body and continued to move forward. But seeing Dong Zhuo not far ahead, he felt that his breathing began to become difficult.
"Haha, good son, have you come to see me as your father?" Seeing Lu Bu from a distance, Dong Zhuo quickly moved over.
"Father, let's go back!" Lu Bu said with his hands in hand.
"No need. As a father, I know I will die. How about you go down and accompany me?" Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and quickly struck Lu Bu with the Demon King's Soul-Eating Sword in his hand.
"Father, you just need to control your magic power well now, and you can live for a few more years!" Lu Bu blocked the chop with a halberd and patiently advised him.
"What difference does it make if I live a few more years or a few less years? You think I don't know that the so-called magic control skill is to completely destroy my cultivation!
If this body's cultivation is ruined, I will become a useless person! What's the point of living like this?!" Dong Zhuo laughed.
In the blink of an eye, the next wave of attacks quickly moved towards Lu Bu.
"As long as the child is alive, he must fulfill his filial piety by his adoptive father's side!" Lu Bu blocked the way and continued to admonish.
"Needless to say, today either you die or I live! If I die, it will be over! If you die, I will let the entire Chang'an City be buried with us!" Dong Zhuo's offensive became more and more fierce.
"Father!" Lu Bu finally called.
"Kill!" Dong Zhuo didn't care, he rushed towards Lu Bu with a fierce aura.
"The child is unfilial!" Lu Bu shouted and finally started to fight back.
And in his heart, he couldn't help but scream: Why, why do the relatives around me keep leaving me?!
First it was his mother, who had Hu ethnic origin, and then his father.
Then came his beloved woman, and finally his two adoptive fathers.
No one expected that Lu Bu was sincere to Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.
That day in Ding Yuan’s tent...
"You persuade me to seek refuge with Dong Zhuo?!" Ding Yuan shouted in surprise.
"Father, Dong Zhuo has the edict of succession written by the King of Hanzhong in his hands. It is natural for Liu Xie to succeed to the throne. But now that we are attacking Luoyang, we have committed the crime of treason. If Dong Zhuo pursues the case, we are afraid
You will end up in ruins!" Lu Bu warned carefully.
"The King of Hanzhong actually passed the throne to Liu Xie?!" Ding Yuan immediately became unsteady.
"Father!" Lu Bu immediately stepped forward to help him.
"No need to hold me up, I'm done!" Ding Yuan said, shaking his head.
"It's not over yet. As long as my foster father follows me into Luoyang and joins Dong Zhuo, I will definitely protect my foster father!" Lu Bu said firmly.
"This will only make you jealous of Dong Zhuo!" Ding Yuan shook his head.
The next moment, before Lu Bu could react, he inserted a dagger into his abdomen.
"Father, what are you doing?!" Lu Bu was horrified.
"There's nothing surprising...the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, that's all. Dong Zhuo won't let me go, he needs my head to frighten those disobedient aristocratic families.
Now my remaining righteousness has been deprived by Dong Zhuo, and the chance of defeating him is less than 30%.
My father has thought about it. Rather than die in the vegetable market, it would be better to die on the battlefield.
Ahem... remember, after I die, you take my head... and seek refuge with Dong Zhuo, and recognize him as your adoptive father, so that... you can be reused by him.
You are my son, obey me! And if you can, treat your brother well..." Ding Yuan muttered one last time before taking his last breath.
It's not that he doesn't want to resist, but now that his Bingzhou army is surrounded between Hedong and Luoyang, it is impossible to return north, and resistance will only kill more soldiers.
As the head of the Ding family, instead of resisting desperately and ending up with everyone in the family being executed by Dong Zhuo, it would be better to die in exchange for a promise from Lu Bu.
In this way, the Ding family can be preserved.
Family interests outweigh everything else, and this is the source of sorrow.
It was that time that Lu Bu once again tasted the pain of losing his father.
As atonement, he not only fulfilled Ding Yuan's instructions, but also bore the infamy of killing his father and surrendering to the enemy.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo also treated him sincerely. He was no less favored than his nephew Dong Huang.
You know, his nephew is at least his blood relative, but I have no blood relationship with him at all!
But he couldn't understand why on this day, he had to taste the feeling of losing a loved one again?!
After a fierce battle, Lu Bu finally killed Dong Zhuo with tears in his eyes.
After the fatal blow, Dong Zhuo regained some consciousness and gave up blocking.
At that moment, the halberd penetrated his chest.
"No!" Lu Bu, a tough man, finally cried...
On this day, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and after returning to Chang'an, he succeeded Dong Zhuo.
Chapter completed!
