。

After entering Chang'an, as soon as Dong Zhuo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, someone from the palace came to report: "Master Qiyu, General Wenhou is waiting to see you outside!" ”

"Bastard thing," Dong Zhuo and the others finished speaking, then opened his mouth and scolded: "Feng Xian is my son, if you want to see me, just come in directly, what else do you need to report and let him in quickly!" ”

The subordinate was scolded, but he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only agree, quit the council hall, and went outside to invite Lu Bu in.

Lu Bu strode into the conference hall, saw Dong Zhuo sitting on the couch in the middle, while Li Su stood aside, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Dong Zhuo, and said loudly: "The child greets his father-in-law!" ”

"My son is exempt from the courtesy!" Although something unpleasant happened with Lu Bu in Fengyi Pavilion, after all, after so long, Dong Zhuo had long forgotten about it, and after letting Lu Bu get up with a smile, he asked, "During the days when I was not in Jingshi, was there any change?"

"Back to my father's words." For the sake of Dong Zhuo's heart, Lu Bu hurriedly replied: "Since the current emperor said that he was preparing for the Zen throne, although there were ministers in the court who opposed it, they did not dare to make any changes because of the prestige of the father-in-law. ”

Dong Zhuo heard that Jingshi was peaceful, and he was more and more relieved. Looking at his tall and handsome son, and thinking about the charming and pretty Diao Chan who stayed in Yiwu, he decided to give the other party a little compensation so that he could continue to serve him, so he said: "Fengxian, I will soon receive Han Chan. After ascending the throne, you will be the governor of the world. ”

Hearing that Dong Zhuo was about to give himself an official, Lu Bu hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, father-in-law!" ”

Before Dong Zhuo left Hewu, he tossed and turned in Diao Chan's house for a night, and he drove for two days in a row, and his body felt a little tired. He waved his hand at Lu Bu: "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while, so you can retreat." ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was leaving, Li Su also hurriedly said goodbye to Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo said to Li Su: "You will send Feng out of the mansion first, and then stay in the mansion, I can discuss with you at any time if I have something." ”

When Li Su heard Dong Zhuo say this, he could only reluctantly agree: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

When Li Su sent Lu Bu out, he looked around and saw that there was no one, so he asked Lu Bu in a low voice: "General Wenhou, I don't know if everything is ready."

Lu Bu nodded slightly and replied, "Everything is ready. Just wait for the old thief to enter the court tomorrow and discipline him in a different place. By the way, where will his four henchmen be?"

Li Su knew that the four generals asked by Lu Bu were referring to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, and hurriedly replied: "Wen Hou, please rest assured, the four of them were left in Yiwu by the old thief, at least during the time we killed Dong Thief, they will not appear in the Beijing Division." ”

"That's very good." Hearing that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others would not return to Chang'an, Lu Bu's heart suddenly became much more steady, so that after killing Dong Zhuo tomorrow, it would be much smoother for him to go outside the city to take over the military camp. He clenched his fists and said to Li Su: "I will go to Situ's Mansion and tell King Situ about this." ”

Dong Zhuo, who was sleeping on the couch, suddenly felt something coming from outside. Hearing this voice, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart. He quickly sat up straight and listened to the sound outside, which seemed to be a group of children singing nursery rhymes.

Dong Zhuo listened carefully for a while, and finally heard the children singing: "Qianli grass, He Qingqing!" Ten days, no life! I don't know how to do it, as soon as Dong Zhuo heard the lyrics, he felt upset.

Li Su walked into the conference hall at this time, and when he saw Dong Zhuo sitting up again, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, you woke up!" ”

"Li Su." Dong Zhuo looked at Li Su and said with a serious expression: "Did you hear the children outside singing nursery rhymes?"

"Nursery rhymes!" When Li Su heard Dong Zhuo say this, he also hurriedly listened attentively, and soon heard the sound of children singing from outside the house. He hurriedly nodded at Dong Zhuo and said, "Hui Taishi's words, his subordinates heard it. ”

"Do you hear clearly what they are singing," Dong Zhuo asked with a straight face.

"Qianlicao, He Qingqing! Ten days, no life! The ballad sung by the children clearly poured into Li Su's ears, and after he heard the content clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Qianli" is "heavy", and the grass head is "Dong"; "Ten", "day" and "Bu" add up to "Zhuo". "Not yet alive" means to die. Taken together: Dong Zhuo died.

Li Su hurriedly returned and said, "Hear clearly! ”

"Do you know what this nursery rhyme is about?"

Li Su didn't hear the meaning of this ballad, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, so he began to fool the other party: "The words of the returning master are just the meaning of Liu's destruction and Dong's prosperity." ”

Dong Zhuo has a lot of trust in Li Su at the moment, and there is no doubt about his explanation.

In the early morning of the next day, Dong Zhuo set up a guard of honor to enter the court. As soon as he left the mansion, he saw a Taoist priest wearing a green robe and a white scarf standing on the side of the road, holding a long bamboo pole in his hand, with a piece of cloth wrapped around it, and the word "mouth" was written on each of the two pieces of cloth that hung down.

Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo called Li Su to something and asked, "Li Su, what does this Taoist mean?"

Li Su looked at the cloth on the bamboo pole, and couldn't help but be frightened, aren't the two "mouths" the same as the word "Lu", does he want to hint at Dong Zhuo, saying that Lu Bu wants to assassinate him. He hurriedly said in a hurry: "Back to Taishi, this must be a madman, don't pay attention to him." After saying that, he called the soldiers next to him and commanded, "Come on, drive this person away!" ”

When Dong Zhuo's chariot entered the palace, hundreds of civil and military officials wearing court clothes stood aside to greet him. Dong Zhuo thought in his heart that in a few moments, he would be going to receive meditation here, and his heart couldn't help but become more and more proud.

When entering the Beiye Gate, except for the twenty retinues who followed the carriage in front and behind, the rest of the soldiers blocked the door. But Dong Zhuo didn't notice this at all, and was still dreaming of being the emperor.

After entering the Beiye Gate, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the car, suddenly saw that the palace door was closed, and Wang Yun and several other ministers were standing outside the palace gate with swords in their hands. He faintly felt that something was absolutely wrong, and hurriedly asked Li Su: "What do Wang Situ and the others mean by holding swords" but Li Su didn't pay attention to him at all, but drove the carriage and continued to the palace.

Wang Yun, who was standing outside the palace gate, saw Dong Zhuo's carriage gradually approaching, and hurriedly shouted: "The anti-thief is here, where are the warriors" With his shout, the originally closed palace doors opened one after another, and hundreds of soldiers with halberds rushed out from inside.

Wang Yun pointed at the carriage with the sword in his hand and shouted, "Kill!" ”

The soldiers who received Wang Yun's order stepped forward with halberds and stabbed Dong Zhuo in the carriage. Although many people stabbed Dong Zhuo on the first halberd, because he was wearing heavy armor, the halberd couldn't stab in, and only injured his arm.

Dong Zhuo jumped out of the car, pulled out his legs and ran towards Beiye Gate, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Help, help!" Where is my son? ”

Lu Bu, who had been waiting for a long time in Beiye Gate, rushed Dong Zhuo towards him and shouted: "There is an edict to escape the thief!" Immediately, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand stabbed towards Dong Zhuo's throat. Dong Zhuo didn't expect that his righteous son would actually kill him, he was caught off guard for a while, he was hit by a halberd in his throat, and he didn't even shout, he stared at him and fell on his back with an unbelievable look. And Li Su, who came later, waved his knife and cut off his head.

Lu Bu ordered someone to open the Beiye Gate, he held the halberd in his left hand, held the edict in his right hand, and said loudly to the ironclad soldiers waiting outside: "Serve the edict to ask the thief Dong Zhuo, don't ask the rest!" ”

The ironclad soldiers never dreamed that their lord had just entered to receive meditation, and how could he become a thief after a moment of effort. Therefore, after listening to Lu Bu's shout, almost all of them were still sitting on horseback, trying to digest the news they had just heard.

Wang Yun, who had just arrived at Beiye Gate, saw that the ironclad soldiers were still sitting on horseback and did not react, so he hurriedly snatched the head in Li Su's hand. Quickly came to the front of the army and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo's head is here, don't you hurry up and return to Shun, I will wait for the edict to beg the thief Dong Zhuo, and don't ask the rest!" ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo's head, these ironclad soldiers figured out that Dong Zhuo was really dead. After hearing Wang Yun's words clearly, they dismounted, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing the ironclad soldiers returning to obedience, Lu Bu shouted loudly again: "Those who help Zhuo is abuser, all Li Ru is also!" Who can catch it?"

Li Su on the side was eager to make meritorious contributions, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates are willing to go!" ”

Before Li Su left, a soldier came to report to Lu Buyu: "General Qiyu, there is a Li Confucian slave who will bind Li Ru and sacrifice it!" ”

When Wang Yun heard the soldier's report, he hurriedly ordered: "Bring it up!" ”

Two strong soldiers came to Wang Yun and Lu Bu with the dejected Li Ru. Wang Yun looked at the haggard Li Ru, sneered and asked, "Li Ru, you also have today!" ”

Li Ru ignored Wang Yun at all, but glanced at Lu Bu next to him, then sighed and said to himself: "It's a pity that the Taishi refused to listen to me, so he caused today's death." He raised his head, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and said: "If you want to kill, you will kill, Li will never frown." ”

Wang Yun had long been eager to get rid of Li Ru, but seeing that the other party had become a lamb to be slaughtered at this moment, he naturally would not be polite, waved his hand at the two soldiers who were holding him, and ordered: "Tie up to the city and kill him!" Then he ordered someone to take Dong Zhuo's body and ordered the passage.

After Dong Zhuo's corpse and Li Ru were taken away by the soldiers, Wang Yun said loudly: "Lu Bu, Huangfu Song, Li Su!" ”

Hearing Wang Yun's shout, Lu Bu, Huangfu Song, and Li Su hurriedly stepped forward and replied in unison: "Yes!" ”

"The three of you will lead 50,000 troops," Wang Yun instructed them, "You can rush to Yiwu to copy Dong Zhuo's family property and population, and there must be no mistake!" ”

"Command!" I heard that I was going to lead troops to Yiwu to steal Dong Zhuo's family property, and I was the happiest than Lu Bu, because in this way, he would be able to reunite with Diao Chan, so his answer was the loudest.

Yiwu was more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, and it would take at least two days for the 50,000 troops to arrive. Although Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were dead, there were still cronies of Li Dao and others in the city, and after they learned the news, they immediately went out of the city and hurried to Yiwu to report to their masters.

In the evening of the same day, Li Dao and others' cronies rushed to Yiwu. happened to meet the uncle who was embarrassed by Li Su again, and closed the city gate under the command. Seeing that the people in the distance were all dressed as civilians, and knowing that they would not be big men, Duber ordered the soldiers to close the door without waiting for them.

These cronies rushed to Hewu for a long time, in order to pass on life-and-death information to their masters, and when they saw that there was a short-sighted Dubo who actually saw him coming, he dared to close the city gate, and without saying a word, he rushed up and cut it down with a knife. When the soldiers saw several riders dressed as civilians, they actually cut down their own Dubo, and hurriedly surrounded them with weapons, intending to kill these bold guys.

Seeing that he was surrounded by a group of soldiers, Li Wei's cronies hurriedly took out the arrows he was carrying, identified his identity, and rushed into the city with several companions while the soldiers were scattered.

When Li Wei saw his cronies who stayed in Jingshi hurrying over, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "You are from Jingshi, what is the important matter?"

"General!" The cronie lay on the ground and said with a crying voice: "The Taishi was killed by Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others in Beijing, and the little one came to report the news. ”

"What, the Taishi was killed" When Li Dao heard the news, he grabbed his cronies from the ground and said viciously: "If you dare to deceive General Ben, be careful that you have no place to die." ”

"General, the little ones don't dare to lie." The cronies hurriedly replied: "Not only is the Taishi dead, but even Li Ru was beheaded by Cao in the city of tying up and showing it to the public. Moreover, Wang Yun also sent Lu Bu, Huangfu Song, and Li Su to lead an army of 50,000 to Hewu. Please make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the army arrives. ”

Hearing that Wang Yun sent an army of 50,000 and that Lu Bu, who was the champion of the three armies, commanded the troops, Li Wei couldn't help but gasp. Just when he was about to ask people to invite Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others to discuss the matter, these three people were already uninvited. It turned out that their cronies separated after entering the dock and reported to their masters. Therefore, the time when these three people got the news was even earlier than Li Dao.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Seeing that Guo Yan and the others were coming, Li Dao asked in a bit of a panic: "Lu Bu is leading an army of 50,000 and is heading towards Yiwu, what should we do?"

"There are only 3,000 Flying Bear Army in Yiwu," Guo Yan said with a bitter face after hearing this: "If you want to block the 50,000 army, this is simply impossible." In my opinion, we should abandon this place and return to Liangzhou. ”、

Guo Yan's proposal was immediately approved by everyone.

Everyone packed up their things in a hurry, and even Dong Zhuo's family didn't have time to inform them, so they took the three thousand flying bear army to Liangzhou overnight.
