"Come on, Your Majesty, after drinking this wine, Your Majesty will be relieved!"

Li Ru was a little crazy, smiling fiercely, and slowly walked towards Liu Xie with a wine glass.

"Someone! Help! Liu Xie looked at Li Ru in front of him, with a complicated look in his eyes, shouting with hatred, anger, unwillingness, and fear.

Li Ru had more than 1,000 Xiliang iron horsemen guarding outside, unaware of Liu Xie's shouts, and still walked slowly towards Liu Xie. Since Dong Zhuo's death, Liu Xie has been trembling every day to contact Wang Yun and others, the minister of the central government, hoping that with the help of Wang Yun and others, he can regain the power of the military and government and support Sheji. Originally, the news that Wang Yun planned to deal with the Xiliang soldiers immediately came last night, which made Liu Xie travel all night. didn't want the tragedy to come so quickly, but overnight, Guo Yan, Li Dao and others launched a crazy counterattack.

"Your Majesty, it's useless to shout at your throat!" Li Ru came to Liu Xie, who was paralyzed on the ground, and still said ruthlessly: "Don't blame your subordinates for being rude, just blame Your Majesty for not being born in the royal family!" Drink it! Li Ru said as he grabbed Liu Xie's chin with one hand, and under the control of the two soldiers, he moved Li Ru's chin away, preparing to pour the poisonous wine into Liu Xie's mouth.

"Your Majesty!" There was an anxious shout at the door, the sword shadow flickered, and the soldiers and horses of Xiliang at the door were in chaos.

Li Ru turned around, looked at the old man who was about to rush in at the door, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Wang Yue, you are just a reckless warrior, what are you doing to participate in the major affairs of the DPRK and China?" ”

After that, Li Ru's empty left hand waved lightly in the air, and said fiercely: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

Even if Wang Yue's swordsmanship was unparalleled, it was extremely difficult to rush into the hall under the siege of hundreds of elite Xiliang soldiers. Li Ru no longer paid attention to Wang Yue, turned around again, lifted Liu Xie's chin, and viciously poured his hand poisoned wine into Liu Xie's mouth.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yue bared his teeth and shouted angrily, his eyes were bloodshot, and the blood in his neck was even more swollen, and with a loud shout, he shook away more than a dozen people in front of him, and his feet were like a living wind, and he stepped over the Xiliang soldiers who were blocking in front of him in a few steps and came behind Li Ru.

"Rebel thief, really damn it!" Li Ru, who was still smiling proudly, heard Wang Yue's angry shouts in his ears, and before he could react, he saw a long sword blade stabbed out of his chest.

Wang Yue drew his long sword, kicked Li Ru's body towards the pursuing Xiliang soldiers, and stepped forward to report Liu Xie and shouted: "Shi! ”

Bang! With a loud bang, a burst of fog suddenly appeared in front of Wang Yue, and the Xiliang soldiers were in a hurry. The people accompanying him this time are the most loyal old troops of Dong Zhuo in the past, and they all know the importance of this operation, if Liu Xie is allowed to escape, they may really not be able to tolerate the world in the future. The Xiliang generals immediately ordered their soldiers to block the whole city and search for Wang Yue's traces.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! On the mountainside outside Chang'an City, Wang Yue gently shook Liu Xie, who was already unconscious, and shouted anxiously.

"Ahem, cough, cough..." Liu Xie slowly opened his black eyelids, and between his black lips was soaked in dirty blood, coughing twice: "Emperor, I can't do it." ”

"Your Majesty hold on!" When Wang Yue saw Liu Xie open his eyes, he shouted happily to Shi A: "Shi A, quickly find a medical craftsman." ”

Liu Xie grabbed Wang Yue and was so weak: "Emperor, you don't have to go." If the thief wants me to die, the use of poison must be extraordinary! Can't the emperor see that the poison has entered my internal organs? ”

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yue looked at Liu Xie's slightly disgusted face, and old tears flowed.

Liu Xie tightened his hand gripping Wang Yue's arm, pulled out the golden brocade-wrapped object from his chest and said, "Emperor, I had long expected this day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. After I leave, I will hand over this secret letter to Xiang Ao, the official of Zhenguo. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough...", another puddle of dirty blood coughed up, and Liu Xie seemed to be much better.

"My great man has stood for hundreds of years, but now he is going to die at my hands, sad and sad! Haha..."Liu Xie returned to the light, stood up, and looked down at the mountainside: "Such a great river and mountain, such a centuries-old inheritance." I'll take one last look! ”

After saying that, Liu Xie looked around, his eyes slowly closed, and his face fell behind him with helplessness, unwillingness, resentment and relief.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yue stepped forward, supported the fallen Liu Xie, and cried.

The last emperor of the Han Dynasty died so miserably and so namelessly. Not to mention the big funeral, only Wang Yue's master and apprentice were the only ones who saw them off.

"Master!" Shi A helped Wang Yue up, and asked with a gloomy expression, "Where should we go?" ”

Wang Yue put down Liu Xie's body, stood up, looked at the panicked Chang'an City under the mountainside, and said decadently: "Yes, where should I go?" My Wang Yue got a martial art from elementary school, in order to enter the court as an official and support the society. Now that His Majesty is gone, Sheji is no longer there, what is the use of martial arts? ”

"Master!"

Wang Yue shook his head, waved his hand, and stopped Shi A from continuing: "Your Majesty succeeded to the throne at a young age, and was toyed with and applauded by Dong Zhuo, and finally killed Dong Zhuo, but he didn't want to cause death. Now what the two of us can do for Your Majesty is to send Your Majesty's deathbed explanation to the Northern Regions! ”

Shi A looked at Liu Xie's corpse and asked uneasily, "Then Your Majesty..."

Wang Yue looked at Liu Xie, who had been so poisoned that he could barely see his face clearly, and said with a long sigh: "Send it back to Chang'an!" Although it is also autumn, His Majesty's body cannot last in the Northern Regions, rather than making His Majesty have to be bumpy and hard after his death, it is better to leave His Majesty in Chang'an. After all, no matter whether Li Dao, Guo Yan and others murdered the monarch or not, they will also give an explanation to the people of the world, and bury Your Majesty well! ”

Wang Yue's master and apprentice who suddenly appeared scared Li Dao and Guo Yan. Jia Xu also had palpitations. If Liu Xie is left, even if his whereabouts are unknown, the strategy to make the world more chaotic may not work. If he is rescued by the traitorous male among the princes, it will affect the pace of his lord's domination of the world in the future. Jia Xu looked at the body in front of him that could still be distinguished as Liu Xie's body, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Li Dao and Guo Yan issued an edict on behalf of the late Liu Xie: After Zeng Li Ru did not take action to protect him, he was afraid that His Majesty would retaliate and poison the king. At the same time, it was claimed that Xiliang was still loyal to the Han court, guarding Chang'an, and waiting for the royal family to come to inherit the unification. Li Dao and Guo Yan took this opportunity to eliminate most of the ministers of the court, regardless of whether they had contact with Li Ru or not, and appointed their cronies to important positions in the imperial court.

The edict shocked the world. Especially after the news that the ministers of the court and the central government were also slaughtered, the Han family seemed to go crazy and asked the princes from all over the country to immediately send troops to Chang'an to eradicate Guo Yan, Li Dao and other Xiliang soldiers. Liu Bei, who was appointed as the Taishou of Runan, took this opportunity to raise his arms in the name of the royal family, so that many families in Jingzhou began to favor Liu Bei.

"My lord, this is a good opportunity!" Jian Yong said excitedly: "Emperor Xian has no descendants, this time he was killed, the lord can be in the name of the royal family, anxious warriors, and at the same time respond to the demands of the world's families, and immediately send troops to Chang'an." ”

"Send troops to Chang'an? What about Runan? ”

"Lord, Runan is just a county, even if you take it?" Jian Yong said a little anxiously: "At this time, the lord should send the world in the name of the royal family and clan to crusade against Guo Yan, Li Dao and others. Regardless of success or not, the lord is the first person in the world. Moreover, sending troops to Chang'an is in line with the voices of most families, and there will be countless celebrities in the future, all of whom will compete for a place for development. ”

"Then what if Li Dao and others help me ascend the throne?"

"The lord is confused!" Jian Yong was angry and said in a deep voice: "Who are Li Dao and Guo Yannai?" The people who rebelled, even if the person who issued the edict to the world to kill the monarch was Li Ru, but Li Ru is dead, who can prove it? Besides, Guo and Li killed so many people in the family, how could the lord expect Li Dao and others to help the lord and others? ”

"The lord sent troops, which is justified, and Guo Yan and Li Dao must be destroyed. If you can't extinguish it, you must make an unending posture, so that the world can see the determination of the lord. ”

Liu Bei listened to it, and was stunned for a while. But when he finally got Runan County, Liu Bei was still a little reluctant. However, Jian Yong's strategy made Liu Bei more able to see his future development, Liu Bei lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Then according to the constitution and strategy, recruit warriors, and send troops to Chang'an." ”

"The lord is wise!" Jian Yong praised the relief and ordered the whole army to prepare to send troops to Chang'an.

Liu Bei looked at the map in front of him, looked at Lu Bu in Luoyang for a while, Cao Cao in Yanzhou for a while, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and finally looked at Xiang Ao's Bingzhou, with a solemn face. Jian Yong is talented, and many strategies are also of great help to Liu Bei. But how could Liu Bei, who was not ambitious, meet the little interests in front of him, what Liu Bei wanted most at this time was to have a place to settle down and develop his power.

Although Jian Yong's strategy must have helped him a lot, but without a foothold, Liu Bei still felt that he wanted rootless duckweed, and his heart was extremely unsteady. It seems that we have to find a way to recruit a strategist who can preside over the overall situation for us, Liu Bei thought so, and his eyes fell on the Jingzhou area in the north and south of Runan. After all, Jingzhou has been rich in power since ancient times, and Liu Bei plans to try his luck after the return of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.

As for Liu Bei's plans, no one in the world knows. However, the reaction of the princes from all walks of life was guessed by Jia Xu, and they all shouted that they wanted to send troops to fight against the remnants of Xiliang, but the ones who really mobilized the troops did not. Only Lu Bu, who was ignored for the time being, and Xiang Ao, who was barely free, sent some soldiers and horses. As the rumors of the Han family, Liu Biao and the others did not react, neither willing to go to Chang'an to accept the throne, nor raised troops to crusade against Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.

And there are very few ministers of the DPRK and China who have escaped the butcher's knife of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and only Cai Yong, Huangfu Song, Yang Biao and other current Confucians have escaped. Although they are still a little jealous of the wealthy families, Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong Alliance, and Li Dao mercilessly killed all the Yuan clans who were still officials in the dynasty to vent their anger.
