Sect Leader Liu Ji was chased out of the imperial court by Dong Zhuo, and just as he was about to explode in anger, he was suddenly surrounded by West Cold Army in the courtyard. Guo Si didn't care what kind of Han Dynasty you were. With a wave of his large blade, in the blink of an eye, the people he captured turned into massacres and looting of homes.
Since killing them had already gone smoothly, Guo Si led the soldiers to kill all the way down. A dozen or so of the court's old ministers and their families were not spared. Men were killed, women were raped, treasures were looted, and all those luxurious manors turned into luxurious tombs in the blink of an eye. In half a day, thirteen of Luoyang City's residences had become tombs, and almost all of them had been killed. All of their wealth had been swept away, becoming the West Cold Army's spoils of war, the thick stench of blood permeating the air above the Luoyang City.
Yuan Yuan's Chao Shi Guo Tu ran into Yuan Wu's study room with a panicked expression, and reported about the horrible situation of westering officer slaughtering everyone in the Luoyang. Yuan Yuan had already expected this outcome. He wasn't too surprised by Guo Tu's fearsome narration, but when he heard the cruelty, he only frowned.
"Dong Zhuo has already started a massacre, it is time for us to retaliate. You must immediately rush to the Eastern Region and ask Tung Chung Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tortoise to take the initiative to call upon the to suppress Dong Zhuo. " Yuan caressed his beard and said confidently, "After Qiao Mao's initiative is made, you will immediately rush to BoHai County and tell Yuan Shao to do as he pleases."
"Master Tutor, should we contact the Hussar General Yang Lin first? After all, his cavalry of Youzhou is the strongest army we have right now." Guo Tu did not like Yang Lin, he just wanted to pull Yang Lin's army in, so that they would have a better chance of winning.
"No need. As long as we agree with Yang Lin's proposition, and let the Surveillance History of each county elect the emperor, Yang Lin will definitely support us. Furthermore, it's not that we want to fight Dong Zhuo, we just have to force him out of the Luoyang. If he does not, as long as he does not oppose us. "
Yuan Yuan's goal was to chase away these generals. If he chased away one Dong Zhuo and one Yang Lin, that would be the same. Moreover, as a hussar general, if he really participated in the competition, his authority would reach a whole new level.
"The reason why I asked Qiao Mao to make an appearance and make an offer is because of the relationship between Qiao Mao and the Hussar General Yang Lin. He was the only one from our group of scholars who knew Yang Lin, and many of the generals under his command are Qiao Mao's County soldier. You just need to get Qiao Mao to write a letter to Yang Lin.
After Dong Zhuo received the news of Guo Si's massacre, he became so angry that he almost roared. The bloody methods used by the Xiliang soldier to deal with the rebellion Qiang people were used to suppress the noble Han Dynasty s. This was something that Dong Zhuo had never thought of no matter what.
"A bunch of bastards and fools." A bunch of bastards. Dong Zhuo's face turned green, he angrily shouted. However, he quickly controlled his emotions and immediately ordered Li Ru: "Quickly go and stop this bastard Guo Si. If he continues to kill, we will die together."
"Prime Minister, Guo Si has almost killed all the ministers there are, even if he wanted to stop them, it would be too late." Li Ru's face was expressionless. Towards this bloody slaughter, he did not even frown once. Prime Minister, immediately send an order to Commander of the City Gate s to seal off the Luoyang City's doors. The entire city is forbidden to anyone who goes out, and those who disobey will be executed. "
"Forget it, we've already killed for half a day, what other secrets do we have? I'm afraid that someone had already ran out of Luoyang and announced our great achievements to the world. " Dong Zhuo shook his head, and sighed helplessly. It was impossible to hide this kind of thing, it was just that no one would be able to escape, and sooner or later, it would be spread out. We'll hide it for a while, but if we can't, we'll go back to the pass. Sigh … "This father has decided to take the blame …"
"Although the Prime Minister does have a few more people to kill, but all the previous dynasties of the Imperial Court fought, which one of them didn't have blood flowing like rivers flowing? In the two incidents between the two emperors, which one wasn't killing more than a thousand people? " Li Ru did not mind, he even thought that compared to the two Spirit Emperors, Dong Zhuo was still being polite, "Prime Minister does not need to be so angry, I will go find Henan and Wu Qiong right now to let them take care of the aftermath. If this matter spreads to the entire world, these two people will be the first to lose their minds. "
Dong Zhuo thought about it, since he already killed him, there was no way he could reconnect his head, no matter how angry he was, there was no point in it. It's best for this matter to not be spread out, but once it is spread out, we need to be fully prepared for any possible consequences. "
"Prime Minister is right. If this gets out, there will be at least two consequences. One was that all the officials of the prefecture and the Chieftain denounced the lord, and there was even a high possibility that they would not pay today's taxes to the imperial government. The other consequence would be more and more troops coming from various places to attack the Luoyang in the name of the Prime Minister. "
Actually, with Li Ru's intelligence, he had already anticipated the serious consequences. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, as well as those Scholars s and Wealthy Classes, had all escaped from the Luoyang. Now that they had this excuse, if they didn't take this opportunity to cause trouble, they would have to be a bunch of trash.
And there was also that Hussar General Yang Lin, he had already made an announcement to the entire country regarding the sacrifice of the crippled young master, but no one replied him, he just stayed put, and this time he would seize the opportunity to make a scene. As long as someone took the lead, he would definitely take the initiative.
"With the Son of Heaven in our hands, do they dare to attack the Luoyang? Are they not afraid of the crime of treason? " Dong Zhuo thought of an imperial edict and forced Yang Lin away, saying with great confidence: "They are all loyal subjects, why would they do such a disobedient thing?"
"Prime Minister, when they respected the Son of Heaven, they were truly loyal. Didn't you see Yang Lin's order? Not only would he not acknowledge the current Son of Heaven, he even suggested the election of the Emperor. As for those warriors, they probably had a bad premonition. You can make an emperor in the Luoyang, but can't they make an emperor in other places? "
Emperor, what a sacred word, when you worship him, you become his slave. In fact, he was just a clay figurine on a shrine. When you stepped on him, you would realize that the emperor was nothing more than a pile of mud.
"Prime Minister, you have experienced the glory of coming to Luoyang this time. Facts have taught us that we are brave generals on the battlefield, but we are not necessarily the match of the sages in the imperial court. Force could make them appear submissive, but it could never conquer their hearts. Killing will not make them submit, but how many generations of eunuchs and outsiders have killed?
"Are we really going to just run back to the West Cold with our tails between our legs?" Dong Zhuo was not one to easily admit defeat. He thought that Li Ru wanted to advise him to leave Luoyang, so he said angrily: "It is not certain who will be the victor, I am really looking forward to competing with Yang Lin and the warriors on the battlefield!"
"Of course we can't just leave like this! Even if we are to leave, we will all perish together! " Li Ru was not prepared to persuade Dong Zhuo to leave. With a gloomy face, he said coldly: "Prime Minister, it's just that from now on, we have to think of a plan."
"Firstly, order Master Niu Fu not to get entangled with the Huns. As long as the Huns retreat, they will no longer pursue them. At the same time, they would immediately use the yellow scarves to caress Bai Bo. As long as they returned to the Valley of White Waves, they would no longer be attacking them. Think of a way to quickly control the Hedong County, ensure the smooth passage of the Luoyang and the Chang'an, and intimidate the Yang Lin Army that is stationed in Hanoi. "
"Secondly, immediately summon back Huangfu Song who is guarding the Chang'an and send people to take over the 40,000 troops under his command. At the same time, he transferred half of the soldiers from the Chang'an's army to the Luoyang, preparing for the upcoming war. Based on my understanding of Huangfu Song, he will successfully hand over the military power. "
"Once again, we need to create some trouble for Yang Lin so that he will have no time to take care of Luoyang. Two days ago, Xu Rong recommended his fellow villagers, Liaodong's Gongsun Du. We will issue an imperial decree to let Gongsun Du return to Liaodong to take over the position of taiwai. I predicted that Yang Lin would definitely not let him succeed as the successor, but with the power the Gongsun Family had in the Liaodong, they should have had a fight. Regardless of whether or not Gongsun Du can gain a foothold in the Liaodong, as long as he gives Yang Lin some trouble, it will be fine. "
"After talking for so long, you're only thinking of how to deal with Yang Lin. What if Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and the others take the opportunity to cause trouble?" Although Yang Lin's army was the main faction of the alliance, who knew what kind of demon Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao would pull?
"Prime Minister, as long as we defend the eight stages of Luoyang and ensure West Cold's escape, we will be in an invincible position." Li Ru laughed coldly and said scornfully: "Even young masters like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can talk big. If they were to fight in the battlefield, I'm afraid they are not qualified."
"Several Guest s, West Cold Army is killing people right now, they didn't even let those royal relatives go, the streets were filled with chaos. You all should hurry up and drink, take the chance to go home, so as to not run into West Cold Army. " The tavern's owner carefully said to the three customers who were drinking with a smile on his face.
"We are law-abiding citizens. We have a drink in your tavern. "They've killed all sorts of random bandits. What's there to be afraid of?" The scribe in the middle waved his hand and said impatiently: "You can leave, if there's anything we can call you."
The kind tavern owner bitterly smiled, shook his head, and helplessly left the private room.
The three people who were drinking here were the Zhang Banxian, Fei Hong and the others. Ever since they snuck into the Luoyang, the three of them had been planning to rescue Young Emperor Liu Bian. Although they had thought of many ways, it was a pity that Dong Zhuo's West Cold Army was extremely well guarded, and they had never had the chance to get their hands on him.
"I praised him in front of the Lord General, saying that we would definitely have a way to save the Young Emperor. Who knew that we would still not have a clue right now." Zhang Banxian put down her wine cup and said worriedly: "Dong Zhuo's West Cold Army killed people crazily, and the chaos in Luoyang is just right in front of us. If Dong Zhuo killed the Young Emperor, then we will regret our actions later …"
"Military Advisor, don't be too anxious. If Luoyang is really in chaos, maybe our chance will come." Fei Hong laughed and pretended to be relaxed: "In our line of work, you just like to cause chaos in the world, and the more chaotic it is, the better. If the scales are right, we can only drink the northwest wind. "
