Chapter 181: Zhu Dong

The tired horse lies in Chang'an, and the sunset is docked.

If the capital of Chang'an has sunset and is enjoying the last tranquility in the embrace of the afterglow, then Dong Zhuo feels that he is the tired horse. He is fifty-two years old this year, and he is no longer young.

Back then, he also galloped in the wilderness, Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. However, after years of fighting, he was scarred and powerless.

So, at the time of the sun, he raised his bloody butcher's knife to the civilians, soldiers, and important ministers of the court who opposed him. At Mengjin Ferry, he also abandoned Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Li Meng and other Pao Ze brothers who had followed him for many years.

He did not have so much energy to reason with civilians, soldiers, and courtiers, and he used the bloodiest methods to quell their opposition. He didn't have the heart to intrigue with Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, so he could only give up rudely.

Similarly, in the Deyang Palace, he spared no effort to ask to abandon Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an, just to enjoy the Last Supper; In the Prime Minister's Mansion, he refuted Li Ru's admonitions, and still included Chang'an beauty Luo Wanqing in the account, he wanted to prove to the soldiers under his command that he was still very young!

But he forgot that the relationship was two-sided, and if he betrayed Xu Rong and Li Meng, Xu Rong and Li Meng would also betray him; If he gets Luo Wanqing, he will lose Yang Fang.

He also forgot that there is an old saying: there is only a tired ox, and there is no ploughed ground, so when he comes down from that white and tender satin-like body, he is also the tired ox, eh? A tired horse lying in Chang'an.

Therefore, he would never have thought that this was the last night of his life in Chang'an, and he quietly fell into the side of the mountain like the sunset outside his dock mansion, and no light shone at all.

……

In the early morning of the next day, a round of warm autumn sun broke free from the shackles of the clouds and jumped onto the clouds, lazily shining on Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo had returned to Chang'an from the dock a few days ago, there was no way, who let the Cao Wang coalition force be very urgent? The dock is more than 200 miles away, and it is in the country.

He left Li in the dock, not only to guard his gold, jade, wealth, grain and pearls, but also to leave a way back for himself. There are only Wang Duan and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew by his side, and of course, there is also his brave and unparalleled son Lu Bu in the palace.

The previous assassination case of the Prime Minister's Mansion has fallen into the dust, drunk and far away, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin and the hundred and ten miscellaneous servants under his command who fell by the Weishui River have not yet been buried, who else in this city will not open their eyes and dare to touch his moldy head to kill themselves?

However, at this time, Dong Zhuo seemed very anxious, and it could even be said that he was anxious, the Cao Wang coalition army had already entered Tongguan, crossed Huayin and went directly to Zheng County, and it was only more than two hundred miles away from Chang'an City. Moreover, he had heard another voice in the city last night.

"Qianli grass, He Qingqing. Ten miles, no life! ”

Qianli grass is said to be Dong, and ten miles are said to be Zhuo.

He is not a fool, he naturally understands the meaning, thinking that when he moved the capital, he also let Li Ru come to such a play, but he didn't want to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot, and King Cao and Wang also learned exactly the same.

Therefore, he was very anxious, he was afraid that the soldiers of King Cao and Wang would fall like thunder, and he was also afraid that King Cao's people had come to Chang'an outside the city to prepare to catch turtles in the urn. Before anyone could set up a guard of honor, he stepped aboard the big box, and he wanted to hurry to discuss with the Son of Heaven how to retreat from the enemy or move the capital again.

Of course, when he said that he was discussing, he just said it to the Son of Heaven.

Ma Xiaoxiao, chariot chariot.

In just a quarter of an hour, Dong Zhuo's car had already arrived at Weiyang Palace. Entering the door, the puppet emperor Liu Xie had been sitting on the dragon chair for a long time, with only two ordinary palace maids on his side, and Lu Bu was standing alone in front of His Majesty Dan, obviously the clouds of war had made the puppet emperor already restless.

Before it was close, Liu Xie had already spoken: "Xiangguo, I heard that Wang Li and Cao Cao's army has broken through the Tong Pass and approached Zheng County, is the situation true?" ”

Dong Zhuo stepped forward with a sword and gave a slight salute, and said, "What Your Majesty said is exactly what the rebel thieves Li and Cao."

A few days ago, the puppet emperor of Ruoyang sent tens of thousands of troops through Hongnong and Tongguan, and went straight to Xijing.

What His Majesty said is true, our Xiliang soldiers were defeated in two battles and suffered heavy losses. Now, Hongnong has lost Tong Pass has been down, Cao Wang's army is in Zheng County, less than two or three hundred miles away from here, Chang'an City has been exposed to its soldiers, or it can be reached. ”

"Does Xiangguo have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" The Son of Heaven looked at Dong Zhuo anxiously.

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the son of heaven, the lord of the people who patrols the heavens on behalf of the sky. Although the two thieves of King Cao had tens of thousands of soldiers, they were all nobles of the imperial court by birth.

Wang Li was originally the son of the Taiyuan Wang family, his uncle was the prince of the original Shangshuling, and Cao Cao was the descendant of Cao Teng. According to the meaning of this appearance, Your Majesty may issue an edict and send another person who can speak the Tao to the thief camp to say it, or maybe it will be solved! ”

"What Xiang Guo said is very true, but since King Cao and his two have entered Luoyang as my brother, how can he be willing to give up his low-hanging fruit for my sake?" The Son of Heaven shook his head and asked.

Dong Zhuo arched his hand and said: "In this case, Your Majesty can move the capital again to temporarily avoid Yingfeng." The old minister has sent General Niu Fu to Liangzhou to recruit Ma Teng and Han Sui to lead the army to King Qin with His Majesty's will. At that time, Ma Teng, Han Sui and my Xiliang three-way army will go out of Chang'an, King Cao will definitely be defeated, and the old minister will welcome His Majesty back to the capital! ”

"Where should I move?"

"Country!" Dong Zhuo snorted categorically, and then said, "The old minister has established a castle in the country, which is called: dock. Its city is as thick as Chang'an, and the palace room is built, and Chang'an is reflected in the distance. The grain in the dock is a 30-year reserve. ”

"Dock? It's 'Banzai Dock', right? I have long heard that you have built a fort in the country, which is comparable to Chang'an, and is called Long Live Wu. Liu Xie looked at Dong Zhuo and laughed wildly for a while, and gradually turned into a sneer, "Dong thief, do you really want to treat me as a canary, and keep me in your long live dock to guard you until you grow old?" The matter of moving the capital is quite cumbersome, and I think it is better not to move! ”

How dare this mud monkey raised in the palace turn the sky upside down?

Liu Xie said "Dong thief" Dong Zhuo was furious, held down the treasure knife in his waist and stepped forward, looked at Liu Xie coldly and shouted: "Oh, Your Majesty has a good plan?" What kind of strategy is it, let's listen to it! ”

"I was kept in captivity by you in the palace and had no plans, but there was a righteous man who said something, I feel that I have benefited a lot, do you dare to see it, listen to it!"

"Who?"

"Me!" A loud voice came from His Royal Highness, and Li Ru walked out of the court.

"Wenyou? What do you have to do? Why don't you just tell you what you are? Dong Zhuo was stunned.

"Because you don't dare to listen to my plan!" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo coldly, and smiled suspiciously, "When today's son and the young emperor of Luoyang are both hated by you, you are the only one, if Xiangguo can understand the righteousness and exchange your head for His Majesty's peace, I don't know if Xiangguo can do it?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Dong Zhuohe was furious, Wang Xuan's eyes swept away, and Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew also drew swords and spears and stood behind Dong Zhuo: "Li Wenyou, you dare to betray Xiangguo!" ”

Yang Fang, the garrison of Chang'an City, also stood behind Li Ru and confronted His Majesty Yu Dan with Zhang Ji and his party.

With a long roar, Lu Bu Yu Dan Majesty walked down, took out an edict from his arms and shouted: "Your Majesty has an edict: Dong thief deceived the king and wantonly killed the minister." Disaster to the country and the people, the sin deserves death! The rest of the people were forced by the Dong thief and will not be held accountable! ”

What's more, it turns out that this 'ten miles of Bu, no life' is not a trick of King Cao, but a repetition of Li Ru and Lu Bu's old tricks.

These two have defected!

Dong Zhuo's expression was cold, and he had retreated behind Wang Duan and Zhang Ji with the treasure knife in his hand, and shouted: "Wen You, Feng Xian, you are both my henchmen, I regard them as humerus, why did you betray me today?" ”

Li Ru laughed: "Dong Zhuo Xiaoer, you dare to say that you regard Li as a confidant, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue in the wind?" Li worked hard for you, Pingliang Prefecture planned to make Luoyang, except for the courtiers to move the capital to Chang'an, and even almost murdered the young emperor of Luoyang for you, and you were notorious. But what did you do with Li?

Don't listen to words, don't follow the plan, and reuse those incompetent relatives, one person gets the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Your younger brother Dong Guanzhi is the left general, and he is the marquis of Hu; Your son-in-law, Niu Fu Zhonglang, has lost Hongnong and Tongguan successively, but he is still entrusted with important tasks. What about me? There is still a Hongnong Wang Lang lieutenant order, dare to ask Dong Xiangguo, is there still a Hongnong King in the world today? ”

"You!" Dong Zhuo pointed at Li Ru, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Ru had obviously torn his face and swore endlessly, stepped forward and said to Zhang Ji and the others: "Two generals, you and Li are both robes and have been friends for several years, do you think carefully about what Li said is false?"

When he was in Mengjin, Dong Zhuo suspected that Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and others had defected to the enemy, and transferred back his henchmen Li and Guo Yan overnight, but put Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and others under the sword soldiers of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Coalition Army, resulting in Wen Ying's death in battle and the southern wing had to surrender.

And the enemy was also defeated by Duan Xuan, the general of the revolving gate pass at that time, how could Duan Zhongming ever offend him Dong Zhuo? It's just because he is not Dong Zhuo's confidant. The mountain does not turn around, two generals, we are waiting for the lessons of the past, are you not afraid that one day it will fall on your heads? ”

Yang Fang also stepped forward and said, "General Zhang Ji, do you still remember my brother Yang Dinghu? ”

Zhang Ji was silent, Zhang Xiu poked the Chaofeng spear in his hand to the ground and stood aside, but a thunderbolt flew out from behind the two.

The sword light is still the knife light.

The main hall is full of green clouds all the way, and the sword light is faintly thundering.

It is only fifteen steps from Wang Duan to Li Ru, and it is only fifteen steps from Li Ru to Wang Duan. The thunder sounded, and the sword light also rose from Wang Duan's hand and fell from Li Ru's head, as if a green cloud came to the top of Li Ru's head at once.

This knife, there are no bells and whistles, only a simple knife drawing and falling knife two actions, this action Wang Duan has practiced thousands of times, and its speed is like lightning.

It seems that although Li Ru escaped the fate of being taken to the vegetable market to be beheaded after Dong Zhuo's death, he still couldn't escape the situation of death.

However, there are some people who do not believe in this evil. Wang Duan's speed was urgent, Lu Bu's shot was even more urgent, and Lu Bu let out a long roar, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was like the Kunlun Mountain Range rising from the ground, and it pierced the blue clouds in the sky in an instant.

With a sound of "Zheng", the two weapons were like two meteors in the air slammed together, and then suddenly separated, the green clouds exploded, the swords and halberds roared together, and the cold light was shining.

"Wang Duan, with me, you don't want to hurt a cold hair of Wen Xiansheng! All the soldiers listened to the order, and according to His Majesty's edict, they arrested the national thief Dong Zhuo, whether they lived or died! Lu Bu scolded angrily, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand flew out again to fight with Wang Xuan.

Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and Cao Xing led the forbidden army to step forward with their knives, Zhang Ji tightened the knife in his hand, looked at the heat in their eyes, and his heart darkened, and then turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo, and he felt very strange.

Dong Zhuo is like the mouse he caught when he was a child, his eyes are blank, and he stands trembling under the palace, what is the spirit of a king and a hero, what Jin Ge is like a tiger, as if they are like clouds and smoke in the past, and he can't find a trace of the past.

Is this the lord who works for himself? It doesn't matter if you love beauty or not, it doesn't matter if you are cruel or bloodthirsty like wine, but what Zhang is following should be at least a hero or a hero, such a lord may revive his former demeanor? What is the difference between such a lord and the one on the dragon chair?

Zhang Ji sighed, pulled his nephew, and silently made way for Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and others.

There was a burst of sword light and sword shadows, and a scream behind him was heard, and a stream of blood arrows flew in front of him, Cheng Lian had already carried Dong Zhuo's head and threw it under His Majesty, and half-knelt in front of him: "Your Majesty, the national thief Dong Zhuo has been beheaded!" ”

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu also crouched in front, but Wang Duan rose up and split Lu Bu's halberd, and glanced at the corpse lying in a pool of blood lightly, since you are dead, then I don't have to abide by the agreement between us anymore, I want this Liu Xie to die today!

With a cold snort, the long knife in his right hand was sacrificed to Lu Bu again, but in his left hand, a short sword rose into the air and stabbed Liu Xie directly.

Cold and red, like a blood moon left over from a tengu eclipse day.
