Chapter Twelve: Killing Dong Zhuo(1/2)

The next morning, when they went to court, the princes and ministers headed by Situ Wang Yun were discussing yesterday's battle between the Kwantung Allied Forces and the Xiliang Army.

"I have received a secret report that the army led by Yuan Shao has broken through Hulao Pass and defeated the Xiliang army. However, Dong Zhuo's life or death is unknown!"

Just as Wang Yun finished speaking, someone next to him immediately answered the call.

"Okay, if you don't know whether you are alive or dead, then you are most likely dead! Good luck, good luck, God bless my Han Dynasty forever!"

"Think about how the Xiliang army has been defeated like a mountain and is now fleeing in all directions. However, our imperial army has already arrived at the city. The city is about to be destroyed. Our Han Dynasty is about to recover! By the way, we must inform the emperor of this matter quickly and call for a meeting.

We have enough manpower to respond promptly.”

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

"Goodbye Wang Situ!"

…………

A group of princes and ministers were planning to carry out the great cause of rejuvenation excitedly, but when they arrived at the gate of Changle Palace, they were stopped by an eunuch. The eunuch looked left and right and saw that no one was looking this way, so he whispered to Wang Yun.

speaking of

"Master Situ, Grand Master Dong Zhuo is in the palace."

When Wang Yun and others heard this, the joy on their faces disappeared instantly, and surprise quickly appeared on everyone's faces.

"What did you say?! Are you sure you read it correctly?"

Hearing Wang Yun's rhetorical question, the young eunuch immediately replied:

"It's absolutely true, sir, he broke into the palace with Xiliang soldiers last night."

After everyone entered the Changle Palace, they saw Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sitting on the dragon chair tremblingly, while Dong Zhuo stood in front of him wearing armor and sword. On both sides of the hall, there were two rows of Xiliang soldiers standing with swords.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yun immediately saluted to the stage

"Welcome to Master Dong's triumphant return"

When other ministers saw this, they quickly imitated his example, and Dong Zhuo also nodded with satisfaction.

"Dear ministers, please take your seats."

After everyone sat down, he continued

"Do you know? The 400,000 allied troops of the Kwantung princes were defeated by me and fled in panic. However, there are still some remnant troops who may invade the capital and plunder the Holy Driver. I have to guard against this possibility. Now

Luoyang, the eastern capital, has been in power for two hundred years, and its energy has been exhausted. I watched the sky at night and saw that the emperor's energy was strong in Chang'an. Therefore, I decided to drive west and move the capital to Chang'an. So, all ministers, please go back and clean up quickly.

Baggage, get ready and go west with your car.”

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, a minister came out to admonish him.

"Reporting to the Grand Master, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, our dynasty has been fighting for years and has turned Chang'an into ruins. Now moving the capital to Chang'an is like abandoning the palace and sleeping in the rubble. This is absolutely not allowed! Please Grand Master

Ming Cha!”

"Bah! What national affairs do you know? Moving the capital is to revive the Han Dynasty. It is a century-old plan!"

Then another person stood up

"Grand Master, Luoyang is the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty. If you leave the ancestral temple and abandon the imperial mausoleum without any reason, the imperial court will be in chaos and the people will be in trouble. I hope Grand Master will be careful about such a matter of great concern!"

"Be careful? Why am I not being cautious? There is a danger in Chang'an, but with the blessing of Longshan, the earthwork and rubble to build the palace are easily available. I can build another palace in half a month. It will be much more comfortable than this Changle Palace."

"

"Grand Master, if the capital is suddenly moved, where will the carriages come to carry the officials and the people of Luoyang?"

"Oh, don't worry. Our Xiliang army has many war horses and chariots. Just let the officials ride on them. As for the common people in the city, they are as worthless as grass. I can't care about that much. Let them fend for themselves."

"this……"

This person wanted to continue to remonstrate, but Wang Yun coughed and signaled him to stop.

, and then Wang Yun said

"Now that the plan to move the capital has been decided, when will the Grand Master plan to leave?"

"Listen, Wang Situ's words are what you should ask. Listen, I have always been vigorous and resolute in my work. The relocation of the capital is scheduled for today. As soon as noon comes, we will move west immediately!"

"Grand Master, moving the capital rashly will cause chaos to the court. I hope Grand Master will think twice!"

Seeing that there were still objections, Dong Zhuo obviously lost the patience he had before, so he drew his sword and killed him in front of all the officials and the emperor.

"This person who obstructed the Holy Emperor from moving the capital must be the spy who had an affair with Yuan Shao!"

Looking at this scene, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Is there anything else you want to say? Say it quickly, I'm here to listen."

Dong Zhuo wiped the blood on his sword and asked the officials in front of him, but he had just learned from the past, who dared to speak...

"Since all the ministers have no objections, let's go and get ready. Someone is here to serve the emperor."

After saying that, two Xiliang soldiers picked up the Han Emperor like a lamb and took him out of Changle Palace.

…………

"The Grand Master has ordered that all palaces, imperial mausoleums, temples, and attics be burned down and not be left to the rebels!"

Fires broke out all over Luoyang for a while, and the army moving westward began to set off in the light of the fire.

…………

"Grand Master, look, ahead of us is the Hangu Pass. Once we pass the pass, Yuan Shao will no longer be able to catch up with us."

"Hahaha, that's right. This pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will be impossible for the rebels from Guandong to pass. Send my order to the general. After passing the pass, reward the three armies!"

"The master is wise!"



When he arrived at Hangu Pass, Li Jue shouted to the people upstairs.

"The Grand Master has arrived, why doesn't Niu Fu come to pick him up?"

"Report to the Grand Master, the general knows that the Grand Master is coming and is cleaning up the palace for the Grand Master. He ordered us to wait here to welcome the Grand Master for him."

With that said, the gate of Hangu Pass slowly opened.

"Well, Niu Fu is interested, let's go in."

"Father, wait"

Just as Dong Zhuo gave the order to enter the pass, he was stopped by Lu Bu.

"What's wrong? Fengxian"

"Father, I think something is wrong here, so we should not enter the customs."

"What does Fengxian mean by this? Do you think the Kanto rebels have already taken over this place?"

"Grand Master, don't blame me. I think General Lu was defeated by the coalition forces, so now everyone is at war, right?"

Hu Zhen on the side started to be angry with Lu Bu. When Lu Bu heard Hu Zhen's words, his eyes suddenly turned fierce and he stared at him closely.

"That's because there is someone in the enemy army who can forcefully catch my Fang Tian Hua Ji, and there are three people besides him to help! How can this be considered defeated? When we meet next time, I will definitely behead him in public!

So I don’t need you to tell me what to do anymore!”

Li Ru next to him saw the smell of gunpowder rising around him and immediately intervened to start a fight.

"Okay, don't argue. The defeat of General Fengxian was obviously due to underestimation of the enemy. Just win again in the future. As for here, Grand Master, General Lu is a rare hero in the world, and he must have a strong sense of danger.

As for us, since he feels that there is something strange in Hangu Pass, I suggest that we take a detour. Although it will take more time, we have to be cautious now."

After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo also nodded to express his acceptance.

"Well, you should have thought carefully and sent the order to bypass Hangu Pass!"

"The Grand Master has ordered us to detour to Hangu Pass!"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The army immediately began to change direction, but what happened next completely proved that Lu Bu's intuition was right.

"You can't leave!"

On the tower of Hangu Pass, the figures of Yuan Shao and other princes suddenly appeared.

"Kill!"

Immediately, allied forces appeared in and around Guanzhong.

"Protect the Grand Master!"

Seeing this, Li Ru shouted, and the surrounding generals such as Lu Bu, Li Jue and Guo Si also dispersed and led their troops to fight out.

"Slave with three surnames! Zhang Yide from Yan is here!"

Hearing this disgusting name again, Lu Bu became angry and immediately rode towards Zhang Fei. Then the two fought together, while Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, etc. also fought with Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Hu
