Lu Buwei spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but in the end not only failed to kill Wang Yue, but also let Wang Yue rescue Liu Bian. Dong Zhuo was furious when he learned all this.
"Trash, you're all a bunch of trash. What's the use of supporting you?"
Dong Zhuo roared angrily. What made him most angry was not that Wang Yue and Liu Bian were gone, but that Wang Yue was entangled with the missing Xing Tian.
Xing Tian is a peerless warrior second only to Li Yuanba. If used well, he can completely change the course of a war.
After Ding Yuan's defeat, Dong Zhuo wanted to capture Xing Tian, but he almost turned the pass over and still couldn't find Xing Tian's whereabouts. Now it seems that Wang Yue must have rescued Xing Tian.
Wang Yue and Xing Tian, one is in the arena and the other is on the battlefield. This secret and openness will definitely bring endless trouble to themselves in the future.
"Send additional manpower immediately, we must not let them escape."
Dong Zhuo ordered angrily, but he didn't know whether it would work or not.
"There is no need for the Prime Minister to be so angry."
Jia Xu stood up at this time and said with a faint smile: "Although King Hongnong escaped, the Prime Minister can still announce his death to shock the Guanxi family."
"oh?"
Dong Zhuo was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Liu Bian is not dead, will this be useful?"
"Of course it works."
Jia Xu smiled confidently and said unhurriedly: "The death of Liu Bian is just to express the lord's determination to integrate the land of Guanxi. Now although Liu Bian is not dead, the Empress Dowager Tang is dead, and the lord's attitude has been changed."
Now that we are out, the Kansai family will naturally not dare to continue to act like a mantis."
"Military advisor, what do you mean, whether Liu Bian dies or not, it will not affect the overall situation?"
"That's right."
Jia Xu smiled lightly and nodded, but Dong Zhuo obviously still had concerns and asked: "But if Liu Bian escapes Sili and joins Qin Hao, will Qin Hao restore him to the throne and come to fight against the Za family?
"
Although Dong Zhuo was afraid that the princes of Guandong would unite to attack him, he was relatively more afraid that Qin Hao would support Liu Bian as emperor again.
Even if the Kwantung princes unite, they will definitely be wary of each other, and the forces they can use are bound to be limited.
Dong Zhuo has an army of more than 500,000, and he has the advantage of mountains and passes. Even if he cannot defeat the coalition of princes, he still has no problem holding on.
But it would be different if Liu Bian became emperor again.
Liu Bian was the eldest son of Emperor Ling, and Qin Hao was the son-in-law of Emperor Ling. The two of them could establish another Han Dynasty in Guandong.
If this is the case, the legitimacy of the Liu Xie court established by Dong Zhuo will also be impacted like never before, which is something Dong Zhuo does not want to see in any case.
A glint flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and then he explained with a faint smile: "My lord, even though Liu Bian was once the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is now just King Hongnong, a deposed emperor.
Although Liu Xie was promoted to the throne by his lord, he also paid homage to the ancestral temple of heaven and earth, and was recognized by officials and princes. His coming to the throne was legal, reasonable and in line with the wishes of the people.
The princes may use the name of 'Qingjunzi' to attack the lord, but they will never deny the legitimacy of Liu Xie's throne, because that would be a slap in the face."
Dong Zhuo frowned and thought for a while, and found that what Jia Xu said was indeed very reasonable. After all, not everyone can slap himself in the face like He Jin.
Although the princes were afraid of and slandered Dong Zhuo, they still recognized Liu Xie as the emperor. If Qin Hao re-established Liu Bian as emperor, he would have established a new dynasty. Not only would it be impossible to gain the recognition of other princes, he might also be
The remaining princes unite to attack.
Although Dong Zhuo had received the answer, he still felt a little uneasy, so he asked again: "So, the princes of Guandong will never make Liu Bian emperor?"
Jia Xu frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "It's hard to say for other people, but Qin Hao will never do it. Both the Qin family and his son are people who cherish feathers, and they will never dare to get involved in important matters such as abolishing and establishing.
I guess Qin Hao's purpose of uniting the princes is to take back Liu Xie from the lord, rather than to support Liu Bian again."
As long as it was not the Qin family father and son, other princes would consider re-establishing Liu Bian as emperor, and Dong Zhuo was not afraid, because in his heart, except for the Qin family father and son, other princes were not qualified to be his opponents.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo no longer hesitated and said coldly: "Quickly announce that King Hongnong Liu Bian died of illness, and the Queen Mother He and Princess Tang died of illness because of longing for King Hongnong and overwork."
"promise."
Some people are dead but still alive;
Some people are alive but already dead.
Dong Zhuo wanted Liu Bian, a living man, to become a "living but dead" man, and his order quickly caused an uproar in the Kansai region.
It's okay for a good living person to die of illness, but how could three of them die at the same time? It was obviously Dong Zhuo who killed them intentionally.
The identities of the three people who died were extraordinary, one was the late emperor, one was the empress dowager, and the other was the former empress, but they were killed when Dong Zhuo said to kill them.
The aristocratic families in the land of Kansai cursed Dong Zhuo for being crazy and crazy. At the same time, they were more afraid of Dong Zhuo from the bottom of their hearts.
If he continues to obey on the surface but resist secretly, there is no guarantee that Dong Zhuo will not go on a killing spree.
No, Dong Zhuo has already started killing more than once. If he continues, there is no guarantee that Dong Zhuo will not learn from Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu and massacre the family again. When the time comes...
At the thought of this, all the Kansai aristocratic families were frightened by it.
Nowadays, most of the aristocratic families in the land of Guanxi have migrated from Guandong to Guanzhong. However, they have already experienced two bloody massacres. How can they still have the courage to endure the third time? So they no longer dare to defy Dong Zhuo.
's New Deal.
In order to implement the New Deal and integrate the power of Kansai, Dong Zhuo gained notoriety but failed, but in the end he succeeded by killing Liu Bian. The most outrageous thing was that Liu Bian was not dead yet, which made Dong Zhuo feel complicated.
On the other side, Wang Yue and Liu Bian led Liu Bian all the way over mountains and ridges, and finally entered the boundary of Nanyang half a month later. However, Wang Yue had no intention of stopping and instead continued to go south.
Seeing this, Liu Bian couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Master, why don't we go find my brother-in-law? He will definitely help Bian'er defeat the Dong thief and regain the throne."
Liu Bian admired Qin Hao very much and had a very good relationship with his sister Liu Mu, so after escaping from Dong Zhuo's clutches, the only place he wanted to go was Qin Hao.
Wang Yue couldn't help but sigh when he heard this and said: "Bian'er, although Xie'er was promoted to the throne by Thief Dong, he also worshiped in the ancestral temple and was recognized by hundreds of officials and princes from all over the world. And although your brother-in-law is against Thief Dong,
Dan recognizes Xie'er as the emperor, so it is absolutely impossible for him to help you regain the throne."
