"How did I, Dong Zhongying, get to where I am today?" Dong Zhuo stroked the broken blade on the case, and suddenly felt lost.

In this regard, Liu Ai still closed his eyes.

"Long history, how many armor soldiers are still in the outer wall?" Dong Zhuo waited for a long time, and seeing that no one answered, he pressed the broken blade to inquire.

"More than two thousand, right?" Liu Ai finally opened his eyes and replied seriously.

"Isn't that a lot?" Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned.

"It's because the dock wall is too tall and there is only one gate, so it's hard to escape." Liu Ai said earnestly. "If the door is opened to face the battle, or General Wei sends a general attack, I am afraid that most of the people will defect."

"How many people are outside Gongsun Wenqi now?" Dong Zhuo continued to ask.

"About 100,000 people." Liu Ai bowed his head and replied.

"Not so much." Dong Zhuo shook his head. "He brought out 20,000 soldiers, I had 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, and then he fought for a year, and he lost a lot, that is, in the middle, he subdued the Baibo bandits, and there were many more soldiers, but the two families together must still be less than 100,000 soldiers...... And if he hadn't deceived me before, then Li Dao, Li Meng, Duan Xuan, and Hu Zhen were only in the east of Tongguan now, and the twenty or thirty thousand soldiers had not yet surrendered...... Therefore, he has a maximum of fifty or sixty thousand soldiers, and the rest must be the people and strong men of Sanfu. ”

"What about only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers?" Liu Ai listened quietly to what his father-in-law said, but asked calmly.

Dong Zhuo was immediately silent.

Seeing this, Liu Ai didn't say much, so he slightly bowed his hand and prepared to exit the hall, and when he stepped out of the door and was about to walk to the verandah, he suddenly heard a soft sigh behind him: "Good head, who can cut it off?" ”

Liu Ai's figure was slightly stunned, and his heart was sour for a while, and he was almost in tears, but he hurriedly lifted his feet and hurriedly walked out.

Dong Zhuo watched his last henchman leave, and after a long time, he barely stood up with his belt, and then came to the side porch, looking at the military camp in the distance - the inner layer of the Long Live Dock is based on the rammed earth of the specially mobilized people, and the natural position is high, but there is no view of it.

In fact, these days, although Dong Zhuo drinks and has fun every day, he still comes here to observe Gongsun Xun's military camp and guess the situation when he is sober. However, as one bad news after another and even the heads of his own brothers were sent in by Gongsun Xun, and as there were more and more soldiers and horses outside the wall, and the camp became bigger and bigger, this observation seemed meaningless.

"It's true that it's mostly for the people."

After watching for a long time, Dong Zhuo came to a dispensable conclusion, and then returned to the seat in the hall, and picked up the familiar and unfamiliar broken blade, and pulled out the scabbard, revealing a knife light like autumn water.

In fact, Dong Zhongying knew from the beginning that this was just an exceptionally sharp old broken blade, and it was by no means a 'Xiang Yu's old thing', but this statement came from the celebrity Cai Bojiao, representing Cai Yong's recognition of him, a contemptuous person in the Western Liangbian, so he pushed the boat down the river, and when he met people, he said that this knife was 'Xiang Yu's broken blade', which was to tell the world that Cai Bojiao also looked up to him Dong Zhuo.

And when he became the former official of the Yuan family, and then did the history of the state assassination and the first term of Fang Bo, there was no need to care about Cai Yong's evaluation, and this knife was also given to the Youzhou handsome man who was seen in the Jinyang Chengguan Temple in the heavy rain that day...... Speaking of which, it's been thirteen years.

Fortunately, this person is the person, and his mother and granddaughter can probably still be saved, right? As soon as he thought of this, Dong Zhuo shook his head helplessly, and finally aimed the blade at himself.

However, at this time, the ridiculous thing happened...... It turned out that Dong Zhuo acted arrogantly and indulgently after taking power, and his body became more and more obese in his later years, and this broken blade was probably in the hands of Gongsun Xun for the sake of immediate convenience, and the handle of the knife was specially lengthened, so he held the broken blade and wanted to end himself, but he couldn't calmly stab his throat.

Dong Zhuo himself laughed.

Of course, laughing and laughing, Taishi Dong didn't want to call Liu Ai back again, even if he knew that his long history must be standing in the corner of the verandah at this time waiting for news...... This is not to say that he was worried about being seen before his death, but that he had hinted and asked for it just now, and Liu Ai was obviously unwilling to do it.

The last henchman is considered to be benevolent and righteous to Taishi Dong, so why bother people with this kind of thing?

"Do any of you know how to use a knife?" In desperation, Dong Zhuo could only ask the surrounding concubines and beauties who were already pale. "This blade is the crown of the world, just stab me in the throat."

As soon as these words came out, many women sitting or standing around were shocked, but in the chaos, a young and beautiful concubine stood up and replied proudly: "The concubine is willing to give it a try!" ”

"Who are you, where do you come from, and what are you doing beside me?" Dong Zhuo saw this woman's good face, but he couldn't remember the other party's origin, and he was also in a trance for a while.

"Returning to the Grand Master," the woman said with a slight bow. "The concubine's surname is Ren, she is a palace maid in Zhaoyang, and she has always been a female official of Diao Chan, and the Taishi came to this dock to order the selection of palace maids, so that this place is like a palace ritual, so I came here from the palace to be in charge of the Taishi Diao Chan crown, so I only call me Diao Chan up and down......"

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized...... In other words, he chose so many beauties before, not just for the so-called lust. In fact, at his age, he has more than enough heart and not enough strength. And the reason why he did this, especially the selection of palace maids, was actually for the identity of 'noble', or for the sentence 'ritual in the palace'.

The city wall of Chang'an is seven zhang high, so the outer wall of his Dong Taishi's Yiwu is also seven zhang high; The Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City was condescending, so his inner house should also be built on a rammed earth platform; There is a female official in Chang'an Palace who specializes in managing the Diao Chan crown of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, so he took this palace maid surnamed Ren from the palace and specially managed his clothes and hats......

So back to the present, this Diao Chan is actually his personal maidservant, no wonder it is familiar.

"I can't imagine that people are about to die, and I, Dong Zhuo, can still have a servant girl who is so loyal and generous......" After figuring out the identity of the other party, Master Dong shook his head slowly, and then simply pointed to the broken blade on the case and sighed softly. I'm sorry to bother you. ”

Diao Chan stepped forward when he heard this, and took the knife directly in front of the case with both hands, but bowed slightly: "Master, there is a word that must be explained to you, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”

"Now what have you not said, and what have I not heard?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but stroke his belly and laugh.

"Taishi." Diao Chan held a knife and looked solemn. "I'm a woman, I just tidy up my crown and hat on weekdays, how can I ever hold a knife, and today I am willing to use this knife to kill people, it really has a reason......

"Come on."

"The world is chaotic, I am a weak woman, I have nothing else to ask for in Luoyang, except for the fifteen female officials in the palace in the past, who are regarded as dependents and rely on each other." Diao Chan reluctantly straightened up. "These fifteen people, in addition to me, fourteen people, after the death of General He of Nangong in the past, three people died in the chaos, I thought it was already a big mess, but I didn't think about it, the Taishi forced to move the capital, the whole palace moved west, there were eleven people left, one person died of illness on the road, was rewarded and even directly robbed by the armor and Qiang Hu soldiers, seven people, two people who did not know their whereabouts were lost on the way, and the remaining one was just settled in the Chang'an Palace with me, and then he was recruited by the Taishi and separated...... I don't know what a noble person like Taishi has to do, but as far as I'm concerned, I often hate Taishi to the core! Today, I want to hold a knife, but the concubine wants to kill the master, and there is no other thought! ”

Dong Zhuo was silent for a long time when he heard this, but he didn't argue, he just raised his hand and pointed to the direction of the blood vessels on the side of his neck: "Knife from here, the best way to vent hatred!" ”

Diao Chan didn't say a word, holding the knife with both hands and stabbing directly.

For a while, the blood vessels in the neck of Dong Taishi, who was lying on his back, burst, and blood gushed out, almost dyeing the entire cases in front of him into a blood-red color, and the white paper with limerick poems sent by Gongsun Xun was also instantly wet with blood, and the words of life and death could only be faintly visible.

After a while, listening to the chaos in the hall, Liu Ai, who was standing outside the corridor, sighed, but stopped for a moment before entering the hall. And he ignored the bloody Diao Chan with a knife and the many women who were in a mess, and just bowed down to Dong Zhuo, who was already angry, and apologized, and then withdrew from the hall again, and turned back to preside over the overall situation in the dock.

In the afternoon, Liu Ai officially opened the dock door and asked for submission.

"Go in and report back to Mrs. Dong." Just when Xi Zhong was about to personally lead Bai Ma Yi Cong to take over the Wansui Dock, sitting on the high platform in the camp, Gongsun Xun, who had been chatting with Han Sui, Ma Teng, and the high-ranking officials of the Western Clans and Sanfu, suddenly spoke to Liu Ai, who was kneeling on the ground. "Dong Zhuo is guilty of the country, and he should hang his head to show the public and correct the law. But in any case, the ninety parents and the granddaughters who have not yet reached the end of the year, the so-called old and young women and children, will not continue to cause trouble, I have an old relationship with others, and I cannot help but have some protection, but I have no name and no point, which will inevitably attract tongue...... So, ask the old lady for me, I want to marry my second son Gongsun Ping and Dong Bai, the daughter of the Dong family, I don't know if she is willing? ”

Liu Ai was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again, but many high-ranking officials and celebrities on the stage couldn't help but change color, or be surprised or suspicious.

In fact, reporting to Mrs. Dong is nonsense, and it is even more nonsense to have no name and no division, because at this time, the entire Dong family can only be disposed of by Gongsun Xun. And Gongsun Xun and Dong Zhuo have an old relationship, which is also a well-known thing, and today he sent a poem of broken blade and death to persuade Dong Zhuo to commit suicide, and everyone can guess that he will save Dong Zhuo's mother and granddaughter.

But the problem is that preservation is preservation, but the Dong family can still marry the Gongsun family, which is a bit unacceptable.

"General Wei!"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, before Liu Ai turned around, a person next to him got up angrily, it was Zuo Feng Yi who was too protective of Song Yi. "Dong Zhuo is in turmoil with the country, people and gods are angry, even if he can't get rid of the whole clan, he should be frustrated and ashes to set the record straight, how can he just hang his head to show the public? Moreover, since the Dong family is a criminal clan, it is not killed, and it should be exempted from the reward and exiled to his hometown, why should he make an appointment with General Wei's son? When the matter spreads, aren't you afraid that people in the world will think that the general and Dong Zhuo are the same dog? ”

"Why is this duke so indignant?" was said to be a raccoon dog, but Gongsun Xun was not angry, just smiled at him and asked curious questions left and right.

"Return to General Wei." It was actually Han Sui who spoke, and I saw that this 'old friend of General Wei', who had been killed once before on the bank of Weishui, was cautious and said softly. "Song Taishou is the former official of the Yuan family, and the whole family was killed before the Taifu Yuan Kui, and it is ......ordinary for him to be angry in his heart."

Gongsun Xun suddenly realized.

Without waiting for this person to continue to speak, and without waiting for Gongsun Xun to speak, the former military division Zhonglang General Xi Zhong next to him, who was about to enter the Long Live Dock, suddenly stopped and spoke: "Dare to ask Song Fujun, Dong Zhuo is in trouble with the country and is guilty of great sins, but isn't it my general who is trying to win Dong Gongcheng?" Instead of being grateful, you are making disrespectful remarks, what is the reason?! ”

Song Yi also knew that he was speechless, so he could only quickly avoid the table and salute and apologize, and explained: "If it wasn't for deliberately accusing General Wei, it was really Taifu's family who was punished...... General Wei, the matter of marriage is my mouthful, and I only ask the general to allow me and other Yuan officials to kill his body and burn his ashes to appease his hatred. If this can be done, if Yuan Cheqi and the general know, he will also be grateful to the general. ”

"Where did Yuan Cheqi come from?" Without waiting for Gongsun Xun to speak, Xi Zhong became more and more angry. "Yuan Shao called himself a general of the Che Cavalry, invaded the state and county, and his people caused chaos in the country, which is clearly no less than Dong Zhuo! My generals fought hard for 3,000 miles, and they worked hard to help the crisis and chaos so far, don't you want to respect, but instead respect a national thief? ”

Hearing Gongsun Xun's henchmen comment on Yuan Shao like this, Song Yi was frightened, and he didn't know how to deal with each other at all, even the rest of the people in the audience were also shocked.

"Alright." Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically. "Although the general of the Che cavalry ridden by Yuan Che is self-explanatory, he is also forced by current affairs, and he cannot be regarded as usurping...... Zhicai, go to the dock with Liu Changshi, and I will dispose of it here. ”

Only then did Xi Zhong give up, and Song Yi hurriedly pleaded guilty again.

"Song Jun." Gongsun Xun watched Xi Zhong leave, and then said slowly to Song Taishou, who was kneeling on the ground and exempting himself. "Zhicai has been fighting with me for a year, and today I just won, but I heard your words, and it is inevitable that I will be a little dissatisfied...... You must know that the combined forces of Hebei, Kwantung, and Xu Yang, Xu Yang bluffed, and Kwantung gave up halfway, only I took the princes of the north and 20,000 soldiers to work hard for thousands of miles to achieve great success. But listening to your words, it seems that the national hero who forced Dong Zhuo to kill and help the crisis and chaos was not me, but Yuan Cheqi, do you despise me so much? ”

Song Yi became more and more panicked, and could only kowtow to apologize, but no one around him got up to turn around for him.

"Get up!" Gongsun Xun smiled when he saw this, and didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to investigate. "How can you be convicted for your words?"

Song Taishou got up in a panic, embarrassed.

"However," Gongsun Xun waited for the other party to get up, but suddenly looked solemn. "I have a doubt, please ask Song Jun to answer it for me...... You are the former official of the Yuan family, and it is not incomprehensible that you are so unhappy in your heart, but why did I fight hard outside Tongguan before, and you couldn't raise troops to help me with the heavy responsibility of Zuo Fengyi? On the contrary, he served Dong Zhuo so carefully, requisitioning people's husbands, building dock forts, and collecting goods for him, as if you were a former official of the Dong family, not a former official of the Yuan family. And now, I have worked so hard to beg Dong so far, forcing the national thief to kill, but you are acting like a jealous and hateful person towards me? Which of the two faces is real and which is false? ”

In the late summer and early autumn of July, the heat has not subsided, but on the high platform in the silent camp, Song Yi only felt cold, not because he didn't want to argue, but because he found that he couldn't speak at all.

"That's good." Gongsun Xun continued to speak slowly. "If you want to prove your innocence, why not kill yourself and go with Mrs. Yuan's family to become famous? If so, I will burn Dong Zhuo's body to fulfill your righteousness; And if you can't, why not unseal it and go back to your hometown in Taiyuan to study? When I pacified Taiyuan, although you were a rebel of the Dong family, I only confiscated half of your family's property, and the rest was enough for you to study and retire. ”

Song Yi stopped on the stage for a long time, and finally understood that he had risen as a former official of the Yuan family, committed a great taboo, and became the object of Liwei, and he did not dare to die, so he had no choice but to present the seal ribbon, and then he walked alone under the escort of two soldiers, and he didn't even have a horse...... However, when he arrived in Yixian, the local acting county commander Zhang Ji still recognized him as an old magistrate, and personally gave him an ox cart and some road fare, so that he would not be too embarrassed.

In other words, there are a lot of warehouses in Yiwu, no less than seventy or eighty thousand catties of gold and silver alone, not to mention other cloths, copper coins, lacquered pottery and ironware, and seeing that Xizhong will really not be able to sort it out for a while and a half, Gongsun Xun gave up the idea of waiting here, and just sent out part of the inventory, and rewarded the main force of the Youzhou Army who came here to boost morale. Then he disbanded the people, leaving only Xi Zhong and some soldiers and horses to sort out the materials, but he left this gentle township that had consumed Dong Zhuo's ambition, and re-hung his broken blade, rode on a white horse, and led the whole army to Chang'an.

Han Sui, Ma Teng, and other warlords from all over Xiliang who had been nominally recruited by Dong Zhuo before did not dare to slack off when they saw this, and they led the crowd to accompany them without waiting for orders, and they were as well-behaved as domestic dogs that had seen cats. And on the tenth day of the first month of July, the whole army came to the north of the Wei River, gathered Wang Xiu, Lou Gui, and Tian Feng who were waiting here, and the soldiers and horses behind Gongsun Xun, regardless of the soldiers and auxiliaries, had reached nearly 100,000 people.

That night, a messenger in Chang'an came to announce his decree with a festival, but he was directly pushed back by Gongsun Xun, who declared that he would go to Weiyang Palace to meet the Son of Heaven tomorrow...... But if there is a will, it may as well be said tomorrow.

Although the envoy Ma Riyan had been a lieutenant and was considered a high-ranking person, he was just a scholar, and he had no choice but to return to Chang'an.

On the morning of the second day, Gongsun Xun only stopped in Weibei for a short time, and then led the whole army to cross the Weishui through the Weiqiao Bridge.

Before arriving at the city, the main body of the army was stationed outside the city, and the two generals Gao Shun and Xu Huang led 10,000 foot soldiers to take over the city defense, arsenal, official offices, and palaces without blood, and the three generals Han Dang, Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue led 3,000 cavalry to take over the main street.

At noon, General Wei Gongsun Xun led Bai Ma Yicong and all the officers and subordinates of the army, as well as the three auxiliary officials who had been recruited to Yiwu before, to enter Chang'an City through the Luocheng Gate with full honor guards and umbrella covers...... It is worth mentioning that before entering the city, Han Sui took the lead, and all the officers of the army, the accompanying military officials, and even the local officials of Sanfu all changed to white horses and entered the city with their entourage.

Entering the city, nearly 2,000 white horse knights surrounded Gongsun Xun, passed through Mingguang Palace, Changle Palace, turned to the arsenal, all the way to show off their might, and then passed through Dongque to prepare to enter Weiyang Palace.

However, it was here that someone finally stopped Gongsun Xun's white horse troops - Situ Lingshang scholar Wang Yun led hundreds of officials to greet him here, and then Zhong Xuan, the squire of the Yellow Gate, came with a holy decree.

"I said: Han has a world, and there are no borders. Now there is a traitor Dong Zhuo, and the crime is extremely ......"

"Please stop for a while." As soon as the holy decree began, Gongsun Xun, who had just dismounted and bowed down to listen to the decree, interrupted the other party with his head raised. "Your decree says, 'The traitor Dong Zhuo is guilty of a great crime'...... Right? ”

"Yes, yes." Zhong Xuan was sweating profusely, and the officials, officers, and righteous servants around him also looked at each other.

"General Wei." Wang Yun had no choice but to bow and inquire. "The Son of Heaven is young, this will is drafted by Shang Shutai, is there any problem?"

"Yes." Gongsun Xun took a few steps forward with his waist and blade, and then turned around and faced the prince proudly. "Prince, dare to ask Dong Zhuo what is his crime?"

At the turn of summer and autumn in July, in the afternoon, under the west sun, in the smokey wind, above the east gate of Weiyang Palace, there was a sudden silence.

—————I'm the dividing line of July Weiyang—————

"Mrs. Ren, the female official in the palace, is the Diao Chan affair of Zhaoyang Palace, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, and everything was done according to the Son of Heaven's ritual system. Not a few, the Taizu of this dynasty cut Dong, long drive around the long live dock, to Zhuo to give the broken blade to return, Zhuo saw clearly, want to kill himself to avoid the family, but the body fat is difficult to do, but to ask for the left and right, the left and right should not, only the lady out, raised the voice and said: 'The world wants to kill the Taishi for a long time, the concubine also wants to kill the Taishi for a long time, only the weak woman is difficult to do, and thank the Taishi for the grace of the blade. Zhuo Moran stabbed him to death. And Taizu entered the dock, the corpse of Zhuo in the hall has been moved, and there is no one around, only Mrs. Ren holds the blade and bathes in blood on the side, and her words are clear, and she tells before and after, and returns to the broken blade. Taizu Qizhi took the blade, and wiped his face with his hand, and when he saw its color, he smiled: "I don't mean that Diao Chan can kill." 'Accept it. —"The World Speaks New Words". Speech
