Chapter 18 Luoyang
originally wanted to use grain and grass to restrict Sun Jian, but he didn't expect him to plan and use a strategy to capture Bishui Pass, and now Sun Jian and Gao Cheng really made great contributions and first achievements.
At this time, the whole world's big and small forces have their eyes on the big war between the allies and Dong Zhuo, this war is related to the general trend of the world, if Yuan Shao can lead the coalition army to attack Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, it means that the family headed by the Yuan family in Runan officially dominates the world, and no one can stop it.
And if Dong Zhuo wins, then Dong Zhuo will inevitably continue to hold the power of the world, at this time Sun Jian and Gao Cheng showed their ability to break through the Bishui Pass, and their reputation really spread to the ears of all the forces in the world.
"We must speed up the march, we must not let Sun Jian and Gao Cheng break through the Tiger Prison Pass again!"
"Yes, if Bishui and Tiger Prison are broken by Sun Jian and Gao Cheng, we will not have any credit, and when we enter Luoyang, how can we see Your Majesty?"
"I didn't expect Dong Zhuo's army to have a great reputation, but it was so vulnerable, and it was broken in less than a month, I really overestimated him!"
Many princes passed information to each other, and many of them subconsciously looked down on the combat effectiveness of Dong Zhuo's army, and they united with each other to march quickly, seize the front of Sun Jian and Gao Cheng, and break through the Tiger Pass first.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Gongsun Zhan, and when they heard the news related to Gao Cheng, they couldn't help but show complicated looks, if they hadn't left Gao Cheng now, there would definitely be the three of them who had made a contribution to breaking through Bishui Pass, and it would be easy for their fame to spread all over the world at that time.
......
Luoyang Xiangguo Mansion. The sound of the flute that had been lingering in the courtyard disappeared, and in the main hall of the mansion, there was a slightly shorter, but imposing man sitting on it. His body was a little fat, his eyes were like eagles, and a trace of black qi appeared from time to time around his body.
Whenever someone sees the black gangqi, they will subconsciously go into a trance, and their hearts will suddenly show a sense of fear. This short and fat man is the world-famous Xiangguo Dong Zhuo.
On both sides below him, more than a dozen generals bowed their heads and were silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was gloomy, except for a majestic general on the left with a straight back, a tough and masculine face full of sharpness without the slightest expression, like a metal sculpture.
“...... Xiangguo, this is what happened, it was Huaxiong who rushed to fight, which led to the loss of Bishui Pass!"
Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed slightly, his voice was like a magic voice from hell, with a hint of hoarseness, and said: "Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong died on the battlefield, what is it if you flee to Luoyang in one go? Hua Xiong should die, you should die too!"
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo stretched out his right hand, his thick palm was surrounded by black light, and as soon as he grabbed it forward, he saw a vortex forming in front of him, and with a bang, he grabbed the captain who was kneeling on the ground into his palm out of thin air.
"Spare your life! Xiangguo spare your life!" The captain was suddenly paralyzed with fright and begged for mercy.
However, his plea for mercy had no effect, I saw that Dong Zhuo's face showed a trace of hideousness, and as soon as the black qi moved, the captain screamed violently, and his whole body became shriveled as if it was devoured by a void creature, and his whole body was emptied, and in less than three breaths, it turned into a cloud of black ash.
"Pass the order, all the captains and soldiers who fled from Bishui Pass to Luoyang will be executed! Hua Xiong attacked rashly, causing Bishui Pass to be broken, and the crime is unforgivable, and the whole family will be imprisoned and beheaded the next day!" Dong Zhuo's gloomy voice echoed in the hall.
When his subordinate generals heard this, they didn't show any discoloration, Hua Xiong had not been in Dong Zhuo for a long time, and his relationship with his colleagues was not deep, and no one would anger Dong Zhuo for him.
"Xiangguo, now that the water has been lost, only the Tiger Prison Xiongguan is left east of Luoyang, once the Tiger Prison is lost, Luoyang will be in danger! I also ask Xiangguo to send a general to guard it as soon as possible to resist the Kwantung princes!" Li Ru, the first strategist under Dong Zhuo, said loudly.
The majestic young man on the left stood up when he heard this, his voice seemed to tremble like metal, with a hint of coldness, "Father-in-law, the child is willing to go to the tiger prison to resist the Kwantung princes and share worries for his father-in-law!"
He is Lu Fengxian, who is known as Lu Bu among people. Since he joined Dong Zhuo's command, he has never had the opportunity to personally lead the troops into battle, and today is an opportunity. As long as he can hold the tiger prison and repel the princes of Guanzhong, he Lu Fengxian will make great contributions and rise in status. It is no longer just the titular title of Father and Son.
Li Ru's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he didn't speak. And Dong Zhuo seemed to think about it seriously, and then said: "The millions of troops of the Kwantung princes are amazing, and now they have broken through the Bishui Pass, and the momentum is even better. The Tiger Prison Pass is very important, this time I intend to personally guard the Tiger Prison, Feng Xian, when the time comes, you will take action again to repel the Kanto rats for me!"
"Lord, if we leave Luoyang and go to the Tiger Prison, I'm afraid those families in the city will cause chaos in the rear!" Before Lu Bu could express his position, Li Dao stepped forward and said.
Li Dao and Guo Yan are elite cavalry generals under Dong Zhuo, and they are both talented generals. The status is still above Lu Bu. In particular, Li Dao is a little resourceful, and what he said is very reasonable. Immediately made Dong Zhuo frown.
Li Ru said with a smile: "Since Xiangguo is ready to personally guard the tiger prison, then Luoyang should be cleaned, now that all the masters of the Yuan clan in Runan have been captured, it is better to have General Lu personally supervise and kill all these people of the Yuan clan, kill the chickens and monkeys, with the lesson of blood, presumably the masters of other families will think about the consequences of the chaos, and they will never dare to act rashly!"
Many Wenchen generals in the hall trembled in their hearts, they didn't expect Li Ru to be so ruthless and careless, if they killed these people from the Yuan clan in Runan, then they would be completely immortal with the first family in the world.
The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth hooked, revealing a sly smile, and said: "Or the virtuous son-in-law understands my intentions, so he will do it according to this meaning!" Feng Xian, I will give you three thousand flying bears to ride, and first kill all the people of the Yuan clan in Luoyang, I want to see who dares to oppose me!"
Lu Bu's expression did not change in the slightest, and he gave up his hand.
Soon, the roar of horses' hooves sounded in Luoyang City, and three thousand flying bears rode towards the direction of Luoyang Prison.
Subsequently, blood splattered Luoyang. The elite masters of the Runan Yuan clan, as well as the elite disciples of the family, were uprooted and all beheaded for public display. Luoyang earthquake. All the wealthy families who opposed Dong Zhuo lost their voices and did not dare to make the slightest move.
Dong Zhuo used the lives of hundreds of people from the Yuan clan in Runan to shock the Central Plains family, and then laughed and personally led the Liangzhou army to the Tiger Prison Pass.
