Late at night, the moon and stars are shining, and everything is silent.

Luoyang City under the quiet night is like Luoshui in the cold winter, so quiet that it can almost freeze time.

From the dignitaries to the common people, most of them are immersed in sweet sleep at this time, and only those real strategists are lying in bed tossing and turning at this time, calculating the success or failure of every idea.

But even these most astute people in the whole world could hardly find that in Luoyang City, which was covered by tranquility, there was an army quietly marching in the direction of the vicinity of Jinshi in a strange quiet atmosphere.

If someone gets up at night and goes out at this time, they will definitely be scared out of this ghostly army. Not a single soldier of this army, which numbered more than 3,000 people, made a sound, and everyone marched silently. Their steps were the same, their breaths were the same, and they almost merged with the night.

They are like a poisonous snake in the dark night, walking through the alleys,

Liu Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, also marched together in the middle of this army. He was also very shocked by the marching quality of this army. I secretly sighed in my heart that the training strategies I wrote were not in vain, Jiang Qi's rigorous management of the army, and the hard training that the soldiers usually paid in peacetime, finally made this army a little stronger.

The "Emperor's Dragon Residence" near Jinshi was Dong Zhuo's temporary residence, and he dreamed of being an emperor at all, and when he forcibly occupied this residence, he had already fallen into the trap carefully designed by Liu Wei.

The army quietly surrounded the house. Originally, there were two patrolling Xiliang soldiers around the house, but under a dense burst of crossbow fire, they didn't even make a warning sound, and they were shot into a bunch of hedgehogs.

Chen Wei, Guo Wen and others gathered in front of Liu Wei's carriage, waiting for him to issue the order to attack.

It took three years, and Liu Wei's carefully prepared script was about to be staged.

Liu Wei, who was standing in the carriage, drew the long sword at his waist with blazing eyes, and the void slashed.

"Kill!"

The soldiers from all directions rose together, shouting and shaking the sky.

***************

The upper west gate in the west of Luoyang City is the top priority of Liu Wei's operation.

Successfully occupying Shangximen can separate Dong Zhuo from the 3,000 men and horses under his command, and form a situation of catching turtles in an urn against Dong Zhuo trapped in the city.

Therefore, Liu Wei handed over the important task of capturing Shangximen to Jiang Qi himself, and gave him a thousand men. According to intelligence, the Xiliang garrison at the Upper West Gate was only 500 people, and Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses still had a great advantage in numbers.

But even so, Jiang Qi had no intention of fighting hard as soon as he came up. After all, Liu Wei does not have many soldiers and horses, and his foundation is thin, so he can't withstand the toss.

When Jiang Qi led a thousand soldiers and horses to the Upper West Gate, it immediately aroused the vigilance of the Xiliang Army, and the five hundred defenders of the Upper West Gate were ready in an instant, which made Jiang Qi, who wanted to suddenly attack, feel cold.

The quality of the army of the Xiliang Army is really extraordinary, and it seems that if you want to succeed in taking the West Gate tonight, I am afraid that it will take a lot of twists and turns.

Seeing Jiang Qi's army with bright armor and murderous spirit, he looked like a person who was not good. A leading lieutenant in the Xiliang Army jumped out of front of the army, stopped Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses, and asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" ”

This leading lieutenant has a wide mouth and a wide nose, big shoulders and a round waist, and when he speaks, his voice is like a bell. Usually, Jiang Qi felt that he was tall and mighty enough, but now compared with the black tower-like fierce man in front of him, Jiang Qi felt a little ashamed of himself.

Hearing the question of the captain in front of him, Jiang Qi also replied loudly: "Obey the edict of the Son of Heaven and change the guard with the Xiliang garrison of Shangximen!" ”

The tall lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is there a warrant from General Dong?" ”

"Nope!" Jiang Qi replied as he turned his back hand and prepared a repeating crossbow, ready to shoot the captain in front of him at any time.

Captain Gao refused Jiang Qi and said: "Without General Dong's warrant, I am afraid it will be difficult to change the guard according to the order." ”

Jiang Qi said angrily when he heard this: "General Dong is also a minister, and he must obey the edict, and the little lieutenant dares to resist the edict!" ”

Captain Gao sneered and said, "A certain person only knows General Dong's warrant, and he doesn't know anything else." ”

"The dog thief is rude!"

Jiang Qi scolded angrily, and suddenly took out a repeater from behind his back and pulled the leaf spring towards the other party.

The tall captain on the other side was not weak in martial arts, and when he was caught off guard, he was able to dodge Jiang Qi's first crossbow arrow, but Jiang Qi used a repeating crossbow, and the other crossbow arrows were shot out immediately.

The repeating crossbow used by Jiang Qi was developed by Liu Wei based on the information about the Zhuge Divine Crossbow that he had found on the Internet in his previous life, and then based on the little physical knowledge he knew, and then slowly explored and developed it by a craftsman.

Although I don't know how powerful the original Zhuge Divine Crossbow was, the power of the crossbow made by Liu Wei is not small. It can also fire ten crossbow arrows, the rate of fire is fast, and the volume is much smaller than the Zhuge God crossbow on the data, which is convenient for individuals to carry and is very suitable for individual combat. Liu Wei named this kind of repeater according to the age when he developed it, "Zhongping three-year type A hand crossbow".

However, the A-type hand crossbow also has quite a lot of disadvantages, such as the trigger is easily damaged, and the jamming phenomenon is also very serious. The biggest weakness is that its power gradually decreases due to the firing of crossbow arrows. Generally speaking, the first and second crossbow arrows shoot the most powerful, and then the power decreases gradually, making the distance and lethality gradually weaken.

Therefore, this kind of repeater is very powerful against soldiers without armor or wearing leather armor, but it is not powerful against heavy armor soldiers. And the tall lieutenant happened to be wearing iron armor at this time, and although several crossbow arrows were shot at his body, they all bounced off with a few clanging sounds. Only one arrow landed in his face, but it didn't do any fatal damage because it had waned.

As soon as Jiang Qi saw that the sneak attack failed, he abandoned the crossbow, drew his sword and stabbed at the tall captain.

Although the tall captain was attacked by Jiang Qi in a hurry and suffered a small loss, after all, he had been in battle for a long time, so he quickly calmed down, drew the sword at his waist, and faced Jiang Qi.

The captain's martial arts were very high, his strength was great, and his sword was heavy, and Jiang Qi felt a little difficult after fighting him for a few moves, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The captain became more and more courageous, and forced Jiang Qi to retreat again and again. Taking advantage of the flaw, he flew up and kicked Jiang Qi in the chest.

Jiang Qi took a few steps back, almost not sitting on the ground. Although there was a heart shield to block most of the power of that kick, Jiang Qi still felt a little stuffy in his chest.

The soldiers behind him screamed in horror and worry, Jiang Qi turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were watching the enemy in formation behind him, and suddenly had an urge to slap himself ten times.

With so many superior troops, in front of the two armies, the generals will fight alone. Liu Wei repeatedly admonished him that an excellent general was not because of his personal bravery, but because of his superb leadership and tactical qualities. Strategizing and winning thousands of miles, why can't I always remember it? Outdated ideas kill people!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qi waved his long sword and yelled at the sergeant behind him: "What are you still doing stunned, rush me!" ”

The soldiers behind him rushed over like a dream of murder, and the tall captain quickly commanded his soldiers to attack the enemy head-on.

Those Xiliang soldiers quickly formed a phalanx, and at first glance, they were well-trained and battle-hardened. Although the number of people is small, they are not afraid of Jiang Qi at all.

In the face of such a neat lineup and well-defined sergeants, if he fought hard, Jiang Qi's troops would suffer a lot of losses. At that time, after the capture of the Upper West Gate, it is necessary to consider the problem of guarding the city gate, and there must be enough manpower to deal with emergencies.

Therefore, Jiang Qi would not choose such a hard-fought battle at all, but sacrificed the top-secret weapon that Liu Wei equipped them with-the Sky Thunder.

The most important moment in the history of world warfare came on such a chaotic night.

Jiang Qi: The full name of the cupola thunder they used tonight was "Zhongping Five-Year Type A and C Type Ballamo Improved Version", which was also called the "grenade generation" or "Type A and C grenades" in later history.

The use of Type A and C grenades marked the beginning of the era of firearms in the history of world warfare. Since then, cold weapons have gradually declined, while hot weapons have begun to appear on the stage of war, dominating the outcome of war. And the soldiers guarding the West Gate tonight were fortunate and unfortunate to be the first victims of the hot weapons and went down in history.

Jiang Qi's soldiers, under Jiang Qi's command, took out the sky-high thunder on their bodies one after another, unscrewed the iron handle, ignited the medicine twist inside, and then skimmed towards the Xiliang army.

Everything was done in one go, and the soldiers under Jiang Qi had been practicing for a long time. It's just that they used to blow up rocks and woods, and these soldiers were inevitably nervous in the first actual battle, and some soldiers even left out without lighting the medicine twist. And the explosion effect of the cupola thunder is not very ideal, the cupola thunder after mass production can not be compared with the best effect of the experiment, and the quota of gunpowder and the production of ** can not be as careful as making one or two, so the lethality of the enemy after the explosion is not very large.

However, the psychological impact on the Xiliang army is still very great, after all, no one in this era has ever seen the power of gunpowder explosion, many Xiliang soldiers did not care about these iron bumps that fell under their feet after blocking the thunder that the other party skimmed over with their shields, and some soldiers secretly laughed at the enemy army in their hearts to learn from children to fight with stones.

However, after the thunderstorm on the ground emitted a huge explosion and fire, these Xiliang soldiers who had seen gunpowder for the first time thought that the heavenly thunder from heaven was going to punish them. (It seems that these people have done a lot of bad things.) ）

Many soldiers were frightened by this vision that they had never seen before, and for a while, the Xiliang army was in chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Qi waved his long sword and led his soldiers to charge towards the chaotic Xiliang army.

The tall captain who led the army could no longer stabilize his position and organize the soldiers to make an effective counterattack. Including the sky-high thunder that Jiang Qi skimmed, more than a dozen grenades focused on beckoning to his side. He was covered in blood, half of his face was burned beyond recognition, and his eyes were blown off.

Just as he was dizzy by the explosion, Jiang Qi had already charged in front of him, his sword fell, blood splashed, Dou Da's head rolled down at Jiang Qi's feet, and the body of the tall lieutenant fell into the dust.

Without the captain who led the army, the Xiliang Army, which had lost its organization and morale, had become a doomed end. Originally, they were not superior in numbers, and they were hacked to death by Jiang Qijun, who was like a wolf and a tiger, like chopping vegetables and melons. However, to Jiang Qi's surprise, even so, most of these soldiers did not take the initiative to surrender, and all of them resisted like flies in the chaos.

When the last Xiliang soldier who desperately resisted fell in a pool of blood, Jiang Qi did not wait or admire that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry really lived up to its reputation. Even without command, the soldier's individual combat ability is staggering. Jiang Qi was unprepared for the attack, and was assisted by advanced weapons such as sky-thunder and repeating crossbows, but he still paid the price of 83 battle losses.

Jiang Qi secretly vowed that one day he would also train a strong army like the Xiliang Army.

After the battle, his soldiers began to clean the battlefield and escort the prisoners. Seeing that the tall captain who had lost his head was carried away from his side, Jiang Qi touched his chest, which was still aching, and called his soldiers.

"Ask what this lieutenant is called?"

After a while, the soldier found out the name in the mouth of the captive, and came back to report: "It's Dong Zhuo's Xiaocai Captain Huaxiong!" ”

Jiang Qi nodded and said, "It's also a man!" Bury him well. ”

When the West Gate was successful, Jiang Qi hurriedly closed the city gate, and sent someone to inform Liu Wei that the task had been completed.

On Liu Wei's side, the battle was in full swing.

************

Xiliang Iron Cavalry really deserves to be a strong army in the world, in the face of Liu Wei's sudden night attack, he did not show any panic, but under the command of Zhonglang General Duan Xuan, blocked the gate, relying on the tall and wide courtyard wall and the arrow tower set up at the four corners, guarding according to the danger, waiting for rescue.

Dong Zhuo chose to live here in Dilongju because it was very defensive, Liu Wei cherished his troops, and did not order a strong attack, but just surrounded the surrounding courtyard. Therefore, it is not possible to capture this mansion for the time being.

Liu Wei didn't attack in, it was only a matter of time, and Zhonglang General Duan Xuan, who clearly knew this, sent people out to break through to Shangximen to ask for help, (at this time, they didn't know that the defenders of Shangximen had been completely wiped out, and Shangximen was lost.) On the other hand, he sent to the inner hall to inform Li Ru and Dong Zhuo that someone was attacking at night.

At this time, Li Ru did not sleep, and when he heard the sudden sound of killing outside, he felt bad in his heart, and was about to run out to check, when he happened to run into Li Meng, Wang Fang, and others, who came in to report.

"What happened?" Li Ru asked sharply.

"There are thieves attacking our army at night, who is unknown!" Li Meng replied.

Li Ru's heart sank, and with his mind, he naturally thought a lot about this matter, but he couldn't find his thoughts in a hurry, so he said anxiously: "I'll go and inform the lord soon." ”

************

The earth-shattering killing shouts of the Emperor Dragon Ju naturally alarmed the entire Luoyang, and the defenders of all parties in the city did not know what was happening, but the whole army was on alert, but they did not dare to take action.

Just as they were about to send someone to investigate the truth or contact others, someone came with an edict from the Son of Heaven, saying that some of the remnants of the Yellow Turban had infiltrated the city to cause chaos, and ordered them to close the city gate and not let anyone go, and not to leave the station without permission.

Although most of the defenders in Luoyang City are in the same party as Yuan Shao, they are not like the Xiliang Army to obey Yuan Shao's orders like Dong Zhuo, and most of them still dare not resist the emperor's orders. At this time, there was no Yuan Shao to contact them, so no one dared to come forward to disobey the order, and all of them closed the city gate and retreated in the camp in accordance with the edict and did not dare to move.

The chaos in the city also alarmed Yuan Shao and others. At this time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were discussing at their uncle Yuan Kui's house, and because the discussion was late, Yuan Kui left the two of them to live in the mansion.

Hearing the killing shouts, Yuan Kui's uncle and nephew all woke up. Hearing that the shouting was in the direction of the gold market in the west, they were puzzled, and they didn't know what was going on, so they had to send someone out to check the situation, but what they didn't expect was that the person who sent it came back with a blue nose and swollen face after a while.

It turned out that before these people could take a few steps out of Yuan Kui's mansion, they were stopped by a group of soldiers, and they beat them violently without saying anything and rushed back.

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, and he ordered the general to rush out of the house, but he was blocked by a pair of soldiers at the door.

The leader of the team was Bai Chang Chen Wei, seeing Yuan Shao and others glaring angrily at their interception, they scolded loudly, but they were not angry at all, and said to Yuan Shao with a smile: "Captain Yuan, tonight there are Yellow Turban remnants mixed into Luoyang City, a certain is ordered by the Son of Heaven to arrest the thief, the city gate is closed and cannot be opened without permission, and no one is allowed to walk around on the street. ”

Yuan Shao still didn't know the situation at this time, but sneered indignantly and said: "What is the life of the Son of Heaven, which is the life of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Chen Wei said: "Since you are Emperor Ziguangxi today, are there any other emperors in Yuan's heart?" ”

Yuan Shao made a mistake for a while, and was caught by Chen Wei. couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, relying on his big official position and high status, he scolded shamelessly: "The vertical son is rude, I don't know how sharp my sword is?" ”

As he spoke, he drew out the long sword in his waist and was about to lead people to rush out, Chen Wei and the others also drew their blades and set up a formation. Yuan Shao wanted to rush out with more people, and when he saw that the two sides were about to fight, another army rushed over and surrounded both sides.

"Stop!" A general on a horse shouted.

Yuan Shao recognized the person as Cao Cao and his troops, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, shouting: "Meng De, come and help me!" ”

Cao Cao didn't say anything when he heard Yuan Shao's shout, but his face was quite ashamed.

At this time, Chen Wei also said to Cao Cao: "Captain Cao came just in time, Yuan Shao colluded with the Yellow Turban Yu Party to fight against the emperor's order and plot against him, and Captain Cao just came to help me take it down!" ”

Yuan Shao said angrily: "How can I collude with the Yellow Turban Yu Party and plot against me!" ”

Cao Cao coughed lightly twice, and then said lightly to Yuan Shao: "Brother Benchu, the Son of Heaven is a clear edict, and thieves are hunted at night, from the princes and ministers to the common people and grass people, they are not allowed to move around at will. As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, we are loyal to the country, and we should obey the emperor's orders. ”

Yuan Shao hadn't heard Cao Cao's partiality at this time, and still said indignantly: "Even if the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, I, as a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, control the Eighth Colonel of the Forbidden Army in Xiyuan, at this time, I should lead the troops to eliminate the thieves, why do I even want to restrict my freedom?" ”

When Chen Wei heard Yuan Shao ask this, he smiled and said: "When today's edict, Cao Gong Mengde, the captain of the military academy, assisted His Majesty in eradicating the traitors and restrained the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, so I won't bother Captain Yuan tonight." ”

Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cao Cao in a daze. And the other party did not dare to make eye contact with him, and lowered his head with a red face. Yuan Shao suddenly realized at this time.

As if to roast Cao Cao on the fire, Chen Wei immediately gave a deep salute at this time, and said humbly: "The last general will be ordered by the Son of Heaven to assist Captain Cao to maintain law and order in the capital and control the armies of all parties. ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly in embarrassment, the thing he was most afraid of facing was still on the surface. However, at this time, he was already under the emperor's order, and he couldn't care about his friendship with Yuan Shao, so he had to say with a solemn face: "Captain Yuan, Cao is ordered by the Son of Heaven to control all parties in Luoyang, soldiers are not allowed to leave the station without permission, officials and people are not allowed to move around at will, and violators should be punished for rebellion." I hope that Captain Yuan will return home quickly, don't try to defy the law! ”

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao, as if he didn't know him, stunned for a quarter of an hour. In the end, he suddenly laughed madly, and said coldly: "Yuan is really blind, I didn't see that Captain Cao had become a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven." Hahaha, Yuan hereby congratulates Captain Cao on his promotion and fortune, and he has a long journey! ”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left, and returned to the house with his family. Cao Cao's face was sarcastically red and white by Yuan Shao, and he stood in place in embarrassment. Chen Wei rode his horse and approached and said, "Thank you Captain Cao for relieving the predicament just now, if it weren't for Captain Cao arriving in time, I'm afraid the situation would be difficult to control!" ”

Cao Cao was depressed, but he just waved his hand to show that it didn't matter. Chen Wei said again: "Captain Cao has a heavy responsibility, so there is no need to stay here for long. This place can be guarded by the last general, and Captain Cao can go to other places. ”

Cao Cao felt guilty about Yuan Shao in his heart, and he didn't want to stay here, Chen Wei couldn't ask for it. Left 300 soldiers to assist Chen Wei in monitoring Yuan Kui's mansion, and rode his horse to inspect other places.

Yuan Shao returned to the mansion and knelt in front of the low table in the lobby angrily, grabbed the ear cup on the table and wanted to break it to vent his anger, suddenly remembered that it was his uncle's thing, raised it and stopped for a few seconds, and then put it on the table hatefully.

Yuan Kui and Yuan Shu also followed into the lobby, Yuan Shu, who was originally jealous of the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, naturally did not forget to sneer at this time, and said with a sneer: "I can't imagine that this Cao Mengde is so ungrateful, if it wasn't for our Yuan family to promote him, what can he do after being a eunuch?" Hum! Now the wings are stiffened, and the spearhead is turned at us. When I regarded him as a brother and friend, I really had no eyes! ”

Yuan Shu's cold words added fuel to the fire, Yuan Shao couldn't stand it anymore, he overturned the table in anger, and said hatefully: "Cao Aman (Cao Cao's small character) bears me, I will never give up on this matter!" ”

Yuan Kui silently walked past the broken bowls all over the ground and sat at the head of the main hall, and said indifferently: "This is not the time to settle accounts with Cao Mengde, the question now is what happened outside!" ”

Yuan Shao sat down again angrily when he heard Yuan Kui say this, calmly analyzing the current situation.

"The killing shouts outside seem to be concentrated near the Golden Market and Shangxi Gate, where Dong Zhuo is stationed, could it be that someone did something to Dong Zhuo?"

"Now Luoyang City can only compete with Dong Zhuo, our Yuan family, who has the strength to fight against Dong Zhuo?"

"Didn't you hear Cao Cao say just now that he was sent an edict from the Son of Heaven?" Yuan Kui said coldly.

Emperor? Little Emperor? Yuan Shu's head shook like a rattle in disbelief.

"It can't be the Son of Heaven, someone must be secretly instigating!"

"How could it be!" Yuan Kui stood up, his face gloomy, and his eyes were like torches.

He has lived in the court for a long time, and he is naturally insightful about the affairs of the court. Just when he heard Cao Cao mention the fate of the Son of Heaven, his heart sank. To be honest, like other ministers, he doesn't know much about Liu Wei, and his impression of him is still stuck in being playful and disrespectful of etiquette, curiosity and obscenity, and he doesn't take him to heart at all.

But now thinking about the past phenomena and the death of Chen Chao, Yuan Kui's heart feels more and more bad. Over the years, their Yuan family has been quietly laid out for generations, just for the ambition buried deep in their hearts. If today's chaos gradually arises, Yuan Kui thought that the time had come to realize his ambitions, but who knew that such a variable would appear.

Yuan Kui sighed heavily.

"Heaven is not with me!" He said helplessly.

***********

When Liu Wei launched the fatal blow to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was enjoying the joy of fish and water between the beds. In fact, he spends every night in this gentle country, and this beauty under his crotch is like a bottomless pit, as if he wants to squeeze every drop of blood out of his body, but it makes him happy.

Even so, the sound of killing outside still aroused Dong Zhuo's vigilance, after all, he was a battle-hardened general, and as soon as the shouts outside sounded, he felt a little bad.

Just as he was about to get up to check, the beauty under him clamped Dong Zhuo's body with his legs, and gasped and shouted: "General, the slave family still wants it!" ”

After all, Dong Zhuo was not so faint that he didn't even want his life for the sake of a woman, so he pushed the beauty away, called her name, and scolded: "Mei'er, don't mess around!" ”

Dong Zhuo put on a thin coat, bypassed the screen and was about to walk out of the inner room to check, but saw the servant Bao Er running in with a few people in a panic, and shouted loudly as soon as he saw him: "Lord, Dong Xiaowei (Dong Min) and Li Langzhong (after entering Beijing, Li Ru was named Langzhong Order) are opposite, and they are bringing people in." ”

The rebellion of his second brother and son-in-law was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Dong Zhuo, and he was anxious to go to the front hall to check, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stopped again.

He has always treated Dong Min and Li Ru well, and Dong Zhuo still understands the loyalty of the two of them to him, and he feels that something is wrong with them to create their own anti-Dong Zhuo.

Turning around and about to carefully interrogate what the situation was outside Bao Er, suddenly several daggers were forced around him, and four or five people, including Bao Er, surrounded him and said in unison: "Don't move." ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and at this time, another dagger joined the circle and pressed it against his throat. The woman named Mei'er was still as charming as silk, as if she had been happy with his crotch in the past few days, and said to him with a smile: "General Dong is really affectionate, no matter how the concubine calls you, you just refuse to stay." ”

Dong Zhuo's martial arts are not weak, but because he heard Li Ru and Dong Min's conspiracy just now, he was restrained by Bao Er and others, and he couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and was about to scold loudly, when Li Ru ran in with a shout outside.

"Lord, the big thing is not good, there are soldiers ...... outside"

Before Li Ru, who came in, finished speaking, he was grabbed by Bao Er and put a dagger behind his waist.

Suddenly restrained, Li Ru was naturally taken aback. However, as a wise man, he quickly forced himself to calm down, looked around and found that Chen Haonan, the treasurer of Diaoyutai, was also among their captors.

Li Meng, Wang Fang and others, who were following Li Ru, saw that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were being held hostage, and immediately drew their blades to surround Chen Haonan and the others, and angrily shouted for them to let go of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant, Li Ru racked his brains and couldn't figure out who Chen Haonan and they were instructed by, struggling to move, Bao Er immediately put a knife on her neck, and said to him with a smile: "Wen Xian, don't struggle in vain." The sword has no eyes, and it is not good to hurt yourself. ”

Li Ru glared at Bao Er, and scolded angrily: "Bao Er, you dare to betray the master? ”

"Betrayal?" Bao Er took a sip of thick phlegm and scolded: "Lao Tzu's master is Emperor Guangxi, and now he is edicted to capture thieves, you miscellaneous pieces are not worthy of being Mao Tzu!" ”

Emperor Guangxi? Liu Bian? Bao Er's words made Li Ru stop struggling, and his mind was blank. No matter how he calculated, he didn't think of Liu Wei.

Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo knew that he couldn't be good tonight. Fighting on the battlefield all the year round and living a life of adding blood to the sword, Dong Zhuo is also quite bloody, and naturally he is not easily controlled by others.

Regardless of the danger of the blade, Dong Zhuo roared angrily: "I, Dong Zhuo, have been in the world for more than 50 years, and I am unrivaled in Longxi. How can you thieves succeed today? All the soldiers listened to my orders, everyone didn't need to care about me, and together they chopped these rats into meat sauce. After I die, Shu Ying can take charge of the Xiliang soldiers and horses on my behalf, and anyone who lets go of these thieves today has been punished by military law! ”

Seeing that Li Meng and Wang Fang were still stunned, Dong Zhuo shouted loudly again: "Do you all understand?" ”

"No!" Li Meng Wang Fang and the others replied in unison, roaring to the sky, and forced Chen Haonan and the others with blades in hand.

Chen Haonan They are just ordinary green-skinned ruffians, how can they withstand the killing aura of the Xiliang Army who has been in the bloody territory all the year round, seeing them surrounding, they can't help but feel timid and panic.

Seeing that the operation was about to fail, the woman named Mei'er was so anxious that she shouted: "Your Majesty does not think that we are lowly, but entrusts me with great trust, if I fail Your Majesty today, how can I wait for me to live in the world again." In life, it is better to die vigorously and generously to repay His Majesty's kindness! ”

Mei'er's words shocked everyone's hearts, Dong Zhuo looked at her in surprise, she didn't expect this woman who was ravaged by him to have such courage, she just made her own words to threaten, I thought that she had scared Chen Haonan and others, but who knew that she turned the situation around.

Chen Haonan and the others were red-faced, ashamed of their retreat just now. Mei'er, a female streamer, still sacrifices her life and forgets death, and her own dignified seven-foot man is not even as good as a woman.

Shameful and courageous, Chen Haonan followed Mei'er's words and said angrily: "Mei'er is right, we will be edicted to eliminate thieves and be loyal to the country, and after death, we will definitely seal my wife and son, and my name will be recorded in history." And if you help the abuse, then you will inevitably destroy your family and die without a place to be buried. If you are not afraid, you will all die together! ”

After Chen Haonan finished speaking, he stabbed the dagger into Dong Zhuo's neck a little, and Dong Zhuo cried out in pain "ah". Li Meng, Wang Fang and the others, who were about to come forward, saw them putting on a look of seeing death as if they were at home, and they hesitated for a while.

In the midst of a stalemate, there was a sudden loud noise outside. Both sides were shocked, only to hear the roar outside even more shocking, Chen Haonan shouted happily after hearing it: "It's our people, it's Your Majesty who brought people to rush in!" ”

The originally tall and wide courtyard wall collapsed, and Liu Wei commanded the soldiers to rush in through the gap.

To be continued
