"Prime Minister, something bad is going on, something is going wrong!"
Dong Zhuo was drinking and dancing, drunk and dreamy,
After hearing Li Ru's anxious voice, his face suddenly sank.
Seeing Li Ru running in with small steps, Dong Zhuo suddenly asked dissatisfiedly:
"You, Li Ru, have always prided yourself on being resourceful. What happened today that made you so panicked?"
Li Ru glanced at the singer who was still in the hall and remained silent.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo finally regained some of his sanity.
He knew in his heart that Li Ru could not lie to him, so what he was about to say now should indeed be serious.
Dong Zhuo half sat up, raised his upper body and waved away the singer.
Wait until the singer leaves,
Dong Zhuo then asked:
"Tell me, what is it that makes you so panicked?"
Li Ru tried his best to steady the expression on his face and said:
"News came from the front line,
Hua Xiong rashly sent troops to provoke the coalition of princes.
He was actually killed during a duel!
And it’s less than one round!”
"Clang..."
The wine glass in Dong Zhuo's hand slipped, and he asked with disbelief on his face:
"What are you talking about? Our Hua Xiong was killed in a duel? And it wasn't even a round?"
"Yes, Prime Minister, I heard that he was beheaded by a red-faced man named Guan Yu."
Dong Zhuo finally recovered from the shock,
He immediately jumped up and cursed:
"Damn the coalition of princes, I didn't expect that there are capable people among them!"
Li Ru waited until Dong Zhuo was done venting,
Then he dropped another bombshell, saying:
"Xiangguo,
The military report also mentioned,
Because Hua Xiong was beheaded, the morale of our army plummeted.
The allied forces of the princes took the opportunity to advance and broke through the White Horse Fortress.
The coalition forces of the eighteen princes totaled more than 500,000 troops, and their peak was pointed directly at Hulao Pass!
Now Hulao is closed and there are no generals,
And there are only less than 50,000 defenders,
Sun Jian, the vanguard of the princes, is even more famous as the Tiger of the East of the Yangtze River, and our army may not be able to stop him!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he picked up the things on the table and threw them on the ground.
"Our family really has a bunch of trash!
The White Horse Fortress is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It didn’t last more than two days and was lost?”
"I report to the Prime Minister that Hua Xiong's execution caused the morale of our army to collapse. It is understandable that our army will be defeated when we have no fighting spirit."
During this time, Dong Zhuo's body was drained by wine and sex,
After just exercising like this for a while, I was already out of breath.
"Huh...huh, it's all Hua Xiong's fault for ruining our family's important affairs. Our family should have sent my son Fengfeng to go there from the beginning."
Li Ru calmly glanced at Lu Bu, who was standing silently and proudly beside him, then raised his hands and responded:
"What the Prime Minister said is true, but we must take action now."
Dong Zhuo nodded and said:
"It seems we have to take action personally!"
Having said this, Dong Zhuo turned to look at Lu Bu and ordered:
"Fengxian, please go and gather all the troops first. Tomorrow we will personally lead the army to Hulao Pass to wipe out these rebels!"
Lu Bu, who had been standing quietly aside, came out after hearing this, cupped his hands and responded:
"Yes, my child, go now!"
After Lu Bu left,
Li Ru seemed to be hesitant to speak, but after thinking about it again and again, he still spoke to Dong Zhuo:
"For the record, Prime Minister, I still have a concern, and I don't know whether I should talk about it."
Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru's coy look and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Li Ru frowned, showing that he was really worried.
He said:
"The leader of the alliance of princes is Yuan Shao.
The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, their disciples and old officials are all over the world.
Yuan Shao's uncle, Yuan Wei, was the imperial master of the dynasty."
Dong Zhuo seemed to have some enlightenment after hearing this.
His cloudy eyes gradually narrowed, and there seemed to be a fierce light surging in them.
Li Ru continued:
"And I heard this,
After Yuan Wei learned that the White Horse Fortress had been breached by the coalition forces of the princes and that the troops were pointing directly at Hulao Pass,
He actually held a banquet at home for several days and was so happy!"
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo had revealed his murderous intention, so he continued to fan the flames and said:
"And Xiangguo, please think about it,
If you lead the army in person, Luoyang will definitely fall into a state of emptiness.
These veterans such as Yuan Wei,
He will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble behind his back.
If they cooperate with Yuan Shao by then and cooperate internally and externally, wouldn’t we be in a bad situation?”
Dong Zhuo heard this,
Finally, I could no longer suppress the murderous intention in my heart.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Li Ru:
"In that case,
Then when our family goes on an expedition tomorrow,
So they used the heads of Yuan Wei’s family to sacrifice the flag!
We want to see who else dares to do something behind our back!"
Li Ru bent down and cupped his hands and said: "The prime minister is wise!"
On the second day,
Yuan Wei's family, young and old, were all arrested.
Dong Zhuo actually beheaded Yuan Wei's entire family in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty!
It’s not even counting the whole family being executed.
In order to frighten the civil and military officials of the dynasty, Dong Zhuo even forced the civil and military officials to drink the blood of these beheaded people.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo seemed to have transformed into a devil in the eyes of everyone!
Among many officials,
Wang Yun, who was in Situ, received special care.
The old man was forced by Dong Zhuo to drink three large bowls, and almost drove away to the west on the spot...
Fortunately, the old man has a tough life, otherwise no one would be able to implement the honey trap in the future.
Dong Zhuo successfully intimidated the court,
He made a prompt decision,
He led 300,000 Xiliang troops and headed straight for Hulao Pass.
Luoyang is less than two hundred miles away from Hulao Pass.
With a quick march, it only takes more than two days and less than three days to reach Hulao Pass.
Dong Zhuo's movements were as powerful as thunder,
As for the Allies,
Grinding and chirping,
In the end, it was almost the same time that Dong Zhuo arrived at Hulao Pass.
...
Back to the night before,
"Hey, is it Boss Cao?"
When Cao Cao heard the words "Boss Cao", he felt like he was struck by lightning.
But because his face was frozen, he didn't show much expression.
However, Cao Cao's heart was already in turmoil, and he even felt like he was frightened.
"Immortal...immortal..."
Through this familiar name,
Cao Cao was almost certain,
The young man in white in front of me is the "immortal" who wrote the diary and synchronized it to the Diary of Heaven's Destiny (copy).
Cao Cao subconsciously thought:
"Could it be that the immortal discovered that I was peeking at his diary, so he came to me to ask for an explanation?"
However, he quickly rejected this idea,
"No, this is what I want to stay here. He probably didn't wait for me here on purpose..."
Lu Yan saw Cao Cao staring at him closely and saying nothing for a long time.
He thought he was caught skipping work during the day,
So Lu Yan asked guiltily: "Mr. Cao...Gong Cao, do you have something to ask Mr. Lu?"
After hearing Lu Yan's question, Cao Cao broke away from his own thoughts.
He immediately replied: "No...no,
When I was returning to camp,
I saw my husband sleeping alone on the grass,
I was afraid that my husband might be in danger, so I stayed here to help you look out."
"Be... on guard?" Lu Yan stared at Cao Cao with wide eyes and thought to himself: "Why haven't you come out before? This boss Cao is actually a warm man?!"
The two of them "each have their own agenda" and both have a guilty conscience.
So he seemed very reserved when he spoke,
This made both Lu Yan and Cao Cao feel very uncomfortable.
In order to break this awkward atmosphere, Lu Yan tried to start a new topic,
"Mr. Cao, I think this is your first time seeing me."
Cao Cao nodded, shook his head and said: "Today is indeed the first time that I meet Mr.
But I have seen the back of Mr.
It's just that I couldn't get away at that time,
I regret that I missed the opportunity to visit Mr.
Lu Yan was a little confused,
Why would Boss Cao be so respectful to me, and even call him "Mr." in a very affectionate manner...
