Under Yang Jian's anxious roar, Liangjun doctors rushed over to diagnose Dong Zhuo, but when they touched Dong Zhuo's pulse, the doctor's face instantly turned pale.
"What happened to my lord? You should tell me quickly!"
"Jia Fu's punch was too heavy and damaged Prince Liang's internal organs. Now Prince Liang has... died." The doctor said with a sad look on his face.
"What? How is this possible?"
"Were you still angry just now? Are you going to die right now?"
"Quack doctor, if you can't cure your lord, I will eat you alive..."
The news of Dong Zhuo's death was like thunder in the hearts of the Liang army generals. Everyone looked hard to accept it and even put the blame on the doctor.
Although there have always been factional disputes in the Liang Army, Dong Zhuo is undoubtedly the only pillar. Now even this pillar has fallen. How can the generals of the Liang Army accept this?
"Father..."
At this moment, Li Yuanba ran in wailing, threw himself on Dong Zhuo's body, and started crying like a child.
Immediately afterwards, Yuwen Chengdu, Hou Yi, Lu Bu and other generals also arrived. When he saw Dong Zhuo's cold body, Yuwen Chengdu collapsed and said: "How could this happen?"
Since rescuing Dong Zhuo, Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba have been guarding Dong Zhuo. They just went out to have a meal together, but who knew that the person who came back would be dead.
Yuwen Chengdu pushed the doctor away and grabbed Dong Zhuo's wrist himself. Seeing that his pulse had stopped beating, he checked Dong Zhuo's body again and concluded that he died of serious injuries.
"My lord."
Yuwen Chengdu shouted sadly. He didn't think much about it. After all, Jia Fu's punch was heavy. He also knew very well that it was normal to kill someone.
A trace of doubt flashed in Hou Yi's eyes, but he was wise and did not speak. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, although his arrow was to save Dong Zhuo, it indirectly caused Dong Zhuo's serious injury, so now he has not spoken at all.
right.
"Jia Fu, the traitor, kill my foster father, and I, Li Yuanba, will fight with you until death."
Li Yuanba gritted his teeth and said, his eyes so red that they seemed to be able to spit out fire, but it was not anger but sadness.
"Kill Jia Fu and avenge my lord..."
"Kill Jia Fu and avenge my lord..."
The generals of the Liang army roared angrily, but when Yang Jian saw that all the generals were targeting Jia Fu, no one suspected that he was responsible, and he finally felt relieved.
The reason why Yang Jian took the risk to kill him in front of everyone was because he couldn't find any other opportunities and he was also sure that no one would doubt him. After all, who would have thought that Yang Jian, the second-in-command in the Liang Army, would kill him in front of everyone.
Where is Dong Zhuo?
Yang Jian almost perfectly passed the blame on Jia Fu this time. After all, so many people witnessed Dong Zhuo's death from his injuries. Jia Fu must have jumped into the Yellow River and washed away.
"The next step is to integrate the entire army and then withdraw the troops back to Guanzhong."
Yang Jian secretly thought in his heart that although he could not bear to part with the three counties of Sizhou, he also understood that he could never continue to fight with Qin Hao. For Yang Jian now, the final thing he wanted was to completely accept everything Dong Zhuo had.
"Everyone, please listen to me..."
Yang Jian shouted loudly, and when the generals saw Yang Jian speaking, they all suppressed their sadness and fell silent.
At this time, Yang Jian had the highest status among everyone. With Dong Zhuo gone, the generals would naturally regard him as their superior. Although Li Yuanba was Dong Zhuo's adopted son, the generals of the Liang Army would not listen to him. After all, who made Li Yuanba's leader?
My brain is not working well.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Yang Jian immediately showed a sad look on his face and said:
"Everyone, my lord was once a hero, but he died at the hands of a villain. I know that you are all grieving and angry. I don't want to kill Jia Fu's traitor alive. But the top priority now is not revenge, but stabilizing the internal affairs of our Liang army.
Outside Mianchi City, one hundred thousand Qin troops are watching eagerly, and once the news of the lord's death spreads, the morale of our army will probably collapse without a fight, so we must immediately block the news of the lord's life and death."
All the generals couldn't help but shudder when they heard this. Yes, now is the time for revenge. If one person is not handled well, Liang's army may even face the risk of being annihilated.
"Sui Gong is right, the news of the death of the lord must be blocked, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Keyong said with a serious face. Although he belonged to Li Yuan's Tang clan, he had to admit that Yang Jian's approach was right.
"Yes, yes, Sui Gong's words are reasonable..."
Dong Zhuo's death left the Liang army generals at a loss as to what to do, and Yang Jian's standing up to speak at this time seemed to have given everyone a backbone, so naturally they all agreed.
When Li Keyong saw this, he immediately wanted to say something, but he saw Du Ruhui shaking his head at him, and after understanding, he swallowed the words on his lips.
The 140,000 Liang troops in Sizhou can be divided into three major factions, namely: the Liang faction brought by Dong Zhuo from Guanzhong; the Tang faction led by Li Keyong and Du Ruhui after Li Shimin was captured alive; and the Tang faction led by Yang Jian
Sui Dynasty.
Among the three major factions, Yang Jian's Sui faction was originally the strongest, and with Dong Zhuo's death, the Liang faction was vaguely headed by Yang Jian, and Li Keyong naturally became a thorn in Yang Jian's side.
The reason why Du Ruhui hinted at Li Keyong in a subtle way was naturally for the sake of unity within the Liang Army. After all, the current Liang Army must not be in chaos, and the only one who can unify the coalition forces is Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was naturally surprised to see that people from Li Tang's family were so aware of current affairs, but this was naturally the best, as it would save him the effort of suppressing them.
"Even if the news is blocked, if the master doesn't show up for a long time, he can't hide it for long."
Yang Jian looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Now our army is no longer suitable for fighting. We must return to Guanzhong as soon as possible so that the lord can be buried in peace. Our army can also recuperate and recuperate. After becoming stronger again, we can come back to protect the lord."
It’s not too late to take revenge.”
All the generals couldn't help but look thoughtful. Although Yang Jian didn't say it clearly, the meaning in his words was already obvious, which was to seek peace with the Qin army and withdraw from Sizhou.
After Li Yuanba came to his senses, he immediately said angrily: "Uncle Yang, you don't want to avenge your father's death, but you still want to withdraw your troops? I never agree."
This is Yang Jian. Li Yuanba still has some good feelings towards this close friend of his biological father. If it were another person, Li Yuanba would definitely tear him up to vent his anger.
Yuwen Chengdu, who had been silent all this time, also said at this time: "Sui Gong, my lord's body is still cold, and he shakes hands with his enemies to make peace. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
