Chapter 234: The Last Madness - Liu Bei

Wang Yun's face changed, and he said sharply: "Do it!" ”

The forbidden palace was silent, only Wang Yun's shouts were faintly stirring among the carved beams and paintings, but no half of the figure came out in response, Wang Yun's face couldn't help but change, and he shouted again: "Ambush attack!" ”

"Lord Situ." Liu Bei suddenly interrupted Wang Yun's roar with compassion, and said in a deep voice, "Don't bother talking, the two hundred ambush soldiers you have been ambushing in the two corridors for a long time. ”

"What...... What the!? Wang Yun lost his voice and said, "Liu Bei, what did you say?" ”

The rest of Liu Hong, Cai Yong and others also changed color.

Liu Bei smiled coldly and said loudly: "Where is Liu Neng!?" ”

"The villain is here!"

Liu Bei's voice fell, and a sharp response sounded in the corridor, and then there were hurried and chaotic footsteps, the figure swayed, and an army of more than 400 people had surging out from among the carved beams and paintings, but seeing that this group of soldiers were covered in blood, and many of them were still carrying a bloody head in their hands.

Wang Yun and the others' faces turned pale in an instant, and now even idiots knew that Liu Bei had seen through their plan, and they fought back, forcing them into a mortal realm!

"Liu... Liu Bei! Wang Yun said in a trembling voice, "You...... What do you want? ”

"What for?" Liu Bei smiled and said in a deep voice, "It's very simple, send you on the road and go to the underworld to serve the first emperor." ”

"You!" Liu Hong shouted, "You dare to kill the ministers of the court indiscriminately, how can the princes of the world spare you!?" ”

"The princes of the world?" Liu Bei laughed and said, "Your lords are too worried, although it is the lower officials who send you on the road, but the princes of the world will only put this bad account on the head of the horse butcher, who told the horse butcher to attack Luoyang with great fanfare?" What does the death of your lords have to do with your subordinates? Hahaha......"

"What...... What the? Cai Yong said in a trembling voice, "Liu Bei! I really didn't expect you to be such a sinister villain. ”

"The squire is overrated." Liu Bei's face changed, and he said coldly, "How dare you be the four words of insidious and evil?" Only you adults really deserve these four words. ”

"Liu Bei!" Wang Yun shouted, "As the saying goes, if people don't know, unless you don't do it, the truth of what you are doing today will be revealed one day, and then you will be ruined and die without a place to bury." ”

"Report~~" Wang Yun's voice fell, and suddenly a small colonel knocked open the closed palace door, hurriedly entered, and said to Liu Bei, "Lord, something is wrong." ”

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Xiao Xiao gasped and said: "The horse butcher's Xiliang army suddenly arrived, and Luoyang City was already surrounded on all sides. ”

"What...... What the!? Liu Bei was taken aback, almost fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "This ...... How is this possible? Wasn't the horse butcher's army still in Hangu Pass yesterday, why did it arrive outside Luoyang City today!? Could it be that the army of the horse butcher could not fly, and it could fly eight hundred miles overnight? ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Yun suddenly laughed, pointed at Liu Bei and scolded, "Liu Bei'er, puppeteer, you have done everything in vain, but in the end, you even got in, hahaha......"

"Old Puff!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Neng, kill him!" ”

"Yes."

Liu Neng (captain of Liu Bei's personal soldiers) shouted violently, grabbed Wang Yun in two steps, raised his knife and slashed, poor Wang Yun is old and frail, and he is a weak scholar, how can he be this fierce and vicious soldier? At that time, he was slashed to the ground, and a skull rolled out of the distance.

Hundreds of pro-soldiers rushed up, and in an instant, Liu Hong, Cai Yong and other ministers were cut to the ground.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched violently twice, his eyes showed a crazy killing color, and he said to Liu Neng: "Liu Neng! ”

"The end will be."

"Take 300 people to kill the Deyang Palace, and the civil and military officials who will gather on the Golden Palace...... Slay them all! ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the brothers, with the general into the harem, but when they see the living, regardless of men and women, old and young, and high and low, they will all be killed!"

"Yes."

……

Outside Luoyang City, Ma Yuezhong's army.

Jia Xu pointed to the majestic city outline of Luoyang, and said to Ma Yue: "Lord, Luoyang has fallen, Liu Bei only led hundreds of remnants to flee into the forbidden palace, and he is resisting stubbornly. ”

"Hmm."

Ma Yue nodded, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The majestic outline of Luoyang City reminded Ma Yue of the past six years ago. Six years ago, the horse butcher led 800 soldiers to force Luoyang, when the government and the opposition were shaken, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to listen to the plan of the Ten Constant Servants to lead the water outside, and enshrined Ma Yue as the general of the Wuhuan Zhonglang, now in retrospect, everything is like yesterday.

"Order the three armies not to disturb the people after entering the city!" Ma Yue shouted, "Violators...... Chop. ”

Jia Xu, who had always been worried that Ma Yuezhen would order a bloody bath in Luoyang, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and bowed to Ma Yue on the horse's back: "Lord...... Wise. ”

Ma Yue Huoran turned around and said to Jia Xu, "Wenhe." ”

Jia Xu said respectfully: "Yes." ”

"Follow General Ben to the Forbidden Palace, this time, General Ben will personally grab Liu Bei and cut him with a thousand knives, so as to tell the lieutenant that the prince is in the spirit of heaven."

……

Luoyang Forbidden Palace.

The forbidden palace is forested, and the main entrance is closed.

In front of the palace gate, the three armies stand solemnly, the swords and halberds are like a forest, the fluttering flags almost want to cover the sky, the horse leaps into the golden helmet and golden armor, and the crotch rides the fiery red sweat and blood BMW stand in front of the formation, which looks majestic.

"Liu Bei, Piff!" Ma Yue raised his whip and shouted, "Come out and answer." ”

There was silence in the forbidden palace, only Ma Yue's shouting and scolding echoed in the heaven and earth, and it was exhausted for a long time.

"Quack quack...... Rumble! ”

When Ma Yue was waiting impatiently, the closed palace door suddenly opened, and inside the palace gate, the crimson carpet stretched straight forward, as beautiful as blood under the light of the remnant sun, as if ...... It was dyed with the blood of countless people, and the air was filled with a strange and oppressive atmosphere.

Two rows of unarmoured, bloodied soldiers stand on either side like sculptures.

"Rustling ......"

In the heavy footsteps, Liu Bei's personal captain Liu Neng walked along the straight red carpet to the palace gate step by step, Liu Neng's expression was grim, there seemed to be two flames burning in his eyes, and the whole person was like an angry leopard, full of danger.

"Hmm!"

Dian Wei snorted and dodged in front of Ma Yue.

"Poof."

A contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Neng's mouth, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and then knelt down on one knee facing the high Deyang Hall at the end of the red carpet, and suddenly, the two rows of remnants standing proudly on both sides of the red carpet also knelt on the ground in unison. These remnants are all veterans brought out by Liu Bei from Zhuo County, and they have followed Liu Bei as early as the Yellow Turban Uprising, and they have always been loyal and never abandoned.

But today, their mission is finally accomplished.

"Lord......" Liu Neng howled like a wild wolf, and the next moment, a sharp long sword had already pressed against his throat, and then he looked up to the sky and snorted, "Liu Neng has taken a step first...... Uhh ”

Liu Neng swiped the long sword to his neck, the blood splashed, and a miserable scream was exhausted at once, only on the blood-stained red carpet, there was already an extra corpse, and the next moment, the two teams of remnants also drew their swords to their necks, shouting in their mouths, "Lord, the villain goes first" and killed himself.

Ma Yue's eyes were cold, although he admired the loyalty of these dead soldiers, but his heart was full of cruel pleasure, Liu Bei! It's the end of the road, and it's inevitable!

"Purr~~"

In the heavy snort of the war horse, Ma Yue turned over and dismounted, and then pushed away Dian Wei who was blocking him, and stepped into the palace gate with a heavy foot, and the vast palace courtyard was finally unreserved in front of Ma Yue.

Jia Xu turned over and dismounted, stood on the side of the palace gate, and said to Dian Wei: "General Dian Wei, lead two hundred elite soldiers to protect the lord." ”

Dian Wei replied abruptly: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Jia Xu's gaze turned to Xu Huang and Fang Yue, and said indifferently: "The generals don't have to go in." ”

……

Deyang Hall.

The splendid Jinluan Hall has become a Senluo hell at this time.

The main hall is full of the corpses of civil and military officials, but all the corpses are neatly arranged, and strictly placed in accordance with the order of the three dukes, nine qing, and civil and military ministers.

When Ma Yue stepped into the Golden Palace, he couldn't help but gasp.

"General Pingxi, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

When Ma Yue was surprised, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he looked back in surprise, only to see Liu Bei sitting upright on the dragon case in the north of the Golden Palace, but Ma Yue almost didn't recognize it, because Liu Bei was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, just like the makeup of a great man.

Ma Yue said in a speech: "Liu ...... Liu Bei!? ”

"Bold!" Liu Bei snorted, his expression was not angry and arrogant, he had the majesty of the "Son of Heaven", and shouted in a deep voice, "Dare to call me by my name, aren't you afraid that I will destroy your nine clans?" ”

"Uh...... Yes? Ma Yue was shocked at first, and then burst out laughing, "Hahaha...... Crazy, it turned out to be crazy. ”

"Don't be too complacent, horse butcher." Liu Bei finally came back to his senses and said coldly, "Now you can laugh to your heart's content, but soon, the princes of the world will gather in Luoyang, and when you face the siege of a million troops, I want to see if you can still laugh?" ”

"Are you really thinking about yourself?" Ma Yue sneered, "Will the princes of the world raise troops to avenge you?" ”

"Of course, the princes of the world will not raise troops for the sake of me." Liu Bei said this, and said gloomily, "However, if someone breaks Luoyang and slaughters the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, the queen mother, the concubine and all the princes and nobles, will they attract the princes of the world to besiege it?" ”

Ma Yue Huo Ran turned around and stared straight at the orderly corpses of hundreds of officials on both sides of the main hall, and only turned back to Liu Bei for a long time before he turned back to Liu Bei and said, "Liu Bei, you are really ruthless enough!" ”

"Hehe, the amount is not a gentleman, and it is not a husband who is not toxic!" Liu Bei smiled yin and said with a vicious face, "If you want me to die, I won't let you live too long!" Horse butcher, I will be waiting for you on Huangquan Road, I believe that soon, we can meet again, hahaha, hehehe, hohoho...... Belch. ”

Liu Bei's laughter gradually became weaker, and he died in an instant.

……

Jizhou Yecheng, Yuan Shao's official residence.

Xun Chen and Gao Gan led Zhang He, Jiang Qi, and Han Meng into the hall, and the three generals lined up in front of Yuan Shao, and said: "Thanks to Ming Gong for not giving up, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Yuan Shao stood up and said with great joy: "The three generals are quickly excused, hahaha." ”

Judge, Feng Ji, Xu Yu and others lost no time in greeting each other and said: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." ”

Yuan Shaoxi said: "The order is to go down, there will be a big feast tonight, and all officers above the rank of lieutenant must attend, hehe." ”

With the surrender of Zhang He's three generals, Han Fu's old Jizhou department completely surrendered to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao finally became the real lord of Jizhou, and became the most powerful prince in the north. At this time, Yuan Shaowen had Tian Feng, Feng Ji, Judge, Xu You and others, all of whom were clever and wise people, and there were Zhang He, Ju Yi, Jiang Qi, Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Yiqu and other generals, all of whom were famous generals at the moment.

……

Puyang, Yanzhou, Cao Ying's official residence.

Cao Ying was discussing with Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others about pursuing Lu Bu's remnants, when he suddenly saw his younger brother Cao Hong hurriedly enter the hall and said urgently: "Lord, Luoyang is urgent." ”

"Huh?" Cao Ying said in a deep voice, "Something happened in Luoyang?" ”

Cao Hong said: "Just made a detailed report, Si Li's lieutenant Liu Bei killed the Pingxi general Ma Yue's henchman Guo Tu, and also Ma Yue's general Gao Shun was seriously injured, Ma Yue in order to avenge his subordinates, has raised 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang, and also threatened to break Luoyang and wash the whole city in blood. ”

"What! Is there such a thing? Cao Ying said in a speech, "If the horse butcher wants to fight Luoyang, Liu Bei will not be able to hold it no matter what." ”

Xun You continued: "In other words, the Son of Heaven will inevitably fall into the hands of the horse butcher in the end. ”

Guo Jia said: "My lord, the Son of Heaven must not fall into the hands of the horse butcher. Otherwise, the horse butcher will be based on the land of Zhongzhong, Hetao, and Liangzhou, and there are hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves under his command, and he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

"But......" Cheng Yu looked shocked and uncertain, and asked Guo Jiadao, "The horse butcher really dares to risk the world's condemnation and raise troops to attack Luoyang?" You must know that Luoyang and Jinggi are important, the Son of Heaven is related, and the interests are easy, who among the princes in the world does not eyed it? The horse butcher is not afraid of the alliance of the princes of the world? ”

Guo Jia didn't answer, but asked Cao Ying: "If the lord is Ma Pingxi, his henchmen and advisers are killed, and the general is seriously injured, will he be angry with Liu Bei and raise troops to retaliate?" ”

Cao Ying replied without hesitation: "Of course." ”

"So......" Guo Jia said for a moment, and said in a condensed voice, "Jia thinks that the horse butcher will inevitably raise troops to retaliate." ”

……

Changan.

The chariots are roaring, the horses are howling, and thousands of troops and horses are rushing to Chang'an.

On the third day after Ma Yuejun's order was issued, Duan Xuan and Yang Feng finally led 8,000 old troops to Chang'an. Five days later, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng led 50,000 Tuntian soldiers, 20,000 Guo Yan's old troops, 20,000 Qiang soldiers, and 30,000 county soldiers, a total of 120,000 troops also rushed to Luoyang.

For a time, the army in Chang'an City gathered and the battle clouds were dense.

However, no one knows what Ma Yue is doing so much.

……

Tiger Prison Pass.

Guan Yu's temporary residence.

Guan Yu was sitting according to the case, drinking one cup after another, although Liu Bei asked him to leave Luoyang and go straight to Xuzhou, and he didn't look back and stop on the way, but after arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass, Guan Yu couldn't help but stop secretly, and sent someone to sneak back to Luoyang to find out the news.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei Taoyuan are righteous and brotherly, Guan Yu is really unwilling to abandon Liu Bei and flee for his life alone.

"General, something is wrong."

Guan Yu drank three glasses of wine, and was about to get up and dance the sword when Hu Ban, the captain of the pro-soldiers, had already rushed in.

"Huban!" Guan Yu hurriedly shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

Hu Ban's expression darkened, and he couldn't cry and said: "Luoyang is broken, and the lord is ......."

"Big brother, what's wrong with him?" Guan Yu was in a hurry, grabbed Hu Ban's shirt, and shouted, "Say it quickly." ”

Hu Ban cried: "The lord has been crushed by the horse butcher, and his head has been hung above the east gate of Luoyang. ”

"Ah...... Eldest brother! ”

Guan Yu screamed, and his eyes fell backwards as soon as his eyes darkened.

"General!"

Hu Ban hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

It took a long time for Guan Yu to wake up, gritted his teeth and said: "Horse butcher, I swear to stand with you!" ”

Hu Ban gritted his teeth and said, "General, what now?" Kill back to Luoyang to take revenge? ”

"No, if you go back to Luoyang now, not only will you not be able to avenge your eldest brother, but you will also be sent to death in vain." Guan Yu had completely calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "It's better to follow the eldest brother's last wish, and escort the Son of Heaven to Xuzhou first." As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, and the matter of revenge will be talked about later. ”

……

Xuzhou, Tao Qian's official residence.

Lu Bu bowed his body and said respectfully to Tao Qian: "The last general would like to thank the adults for their kindness on behalf of the eight thousand soldiers and soldiers of the state (in fact, there are only three thousand remnants left, and they are intimidating). ”

Tao Qian clasped his fists and saluted back: "The general is polite." ”

Lu Bu said: "Since this is the case, the last general will leave first." ”

Tao Qian said: "This official still has something to do, so I will not send it far away." ”

Lu Bu hugged his fists, turned around and walked away.

Seeing Lu Bu's figure disappear outside the door, the strategist Chen Gui persuaded Tao Qian: "Lu Bu, the tiger and wolf disciples, the adults stay by their side, and they are afraid of being victimized in the future." ”

Tao Qian said: "This official and Lu Bu are ministers in the same dynasty, and now Lu Bu is poor and has come to vote, how can he refuse to leave?" ”

The strategist Mi Zhu sighed: "My lord is benevolent and righteous, and the world knows it, so I'm afraid that Lu Bu won't accept this feeling." ”

Tao Qian said: "I treat people well, people will treat me well, you have to persuade again." ”

Chen Gui and Mi Zhu sighed lightly and stopped persuading each other.

……

Xiao Pei.

Guan Yu escorted the Son of Heaven and drove into the city before he saw a big flag with the word "Lu" fluttering on the head of the city from a distance, and another general led his troops out of the city gate, and happened to have a face-to-face with Guan Yu. The two couldn't help but be stunned at the same time, daring to love that this general was none other than Zhang Liao, the fierce general of Yanmen who had fought with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds outside Bishui Pass.

Zhang Liao bowed his head lightly at Guan Yu, and then led the troops away.

Guan Yu wondered in his heart, and said to Hu Ban, the captain of the personal soldiers beside him: "Isn't this Xiaopei under the rule of Lord Shi Taoqian, Xuzhou, how did he become Lu Bu's territory?" ”

Hu Ban volunteered: "The villain, let's find someone to ask." ”

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Go and come back quickly." ”

Hu Ban rode away, and hurried back in less than a moment, and said to Guan Yu: "General, the villain has figured it out, it turned out that Lu Bu and Cao Ying lost the battle for Yanzhou, and the army was defeated and voted for Lord Tao Qian, and Lord Tao Qian placed Lu Bu's old department in this small peicheng. ”

"What, Lu Bu also defected to Lord Tao Qian?" Guan Yu's mind suddenly floated with Diao's flower-like beauty, and he couldn't help clenching his fists and said angrily, "Damn! ”

Hu Banqi said: "General, what's wrong?" ”

Guan Yuhuo said: "Let's go, go back the same way." ”

"What?" Hu Ban said, "Don't go to Xuzhou?" ”

"I won't go to Xuzhou." Guan Yu said hatefully, "Let's go to Yanzhou and go to Lord Cao Ying." ”
