Chapter 978: The True Demon King Descends

Cai Yong stayed in Pingzhou for three months, not only because of work needs, but also to avoid trouble!

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and Dong Zhuo, who has dominated Luoyang for several years, finally showed his brutal fangs. According to the report sent by Qianhuan during this time, Dong Zhuo's temperament has changed greatly in the past year, completely abandoning the original virtuous personality, and getting closer and closer to Dong Zhuo in history in his words and deeds.

Not long after Cai Yong left Beijing, Dong Zhuo killed him on the spot on the grounds that he did not remove his sword when he served the imperial history to disturb Longzong's visit to him.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo put forward the idea of abolishing Liu Xie and making Liu Xie the emperor, but the great Si Nong Zhou Zhong (historically Lu Zhi) objected on the spot, and refuted Dong Zhuo speechless in the court.

However, Dong Zhuo, who was embarrassed and angry, directly made a statement at the court meeting, personally killed the great Sinong Zhou Zhong, and ordered the extermination of Zhou Zhong's three clans!

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo's descendant Xiliang Army entered the city in large numbers, and all the powerful courtiers had elite flying bear troops waiting for their homes, which was called protection, and many courtiers were killed because they were dissatisfied with this kind of captivity.

Huangfu Song, Yuan Kui and other important royalist ministers died down under Dong Zhuo's arrogance and remained silent to protect themselves.

Two months ago, just over a month after Cai Yong's arrival in Pingzhou, Taifu Yuan Kui stopped his silence and turned to Dong Zhuo's camp, agreeing with Dong Zhuo's abolition.

The change in Yuan Kui's position completely invalidated the already fragile balance, and Huangfu Song sent a letter to Lu Zhi in Bingzhou overnight, and the next day he was forced by the sword soldiers to seconded the abolition.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wei, who had been the emperor for more than three years, stepped down, and Liu Xie made a brilliant debut!

Dong Zhuo got his wish and set up a new monarch, but this does not mean that Luoyang is quiet. Dong Zhuo boasted of his merit of establishing a king, becoming more and more arrogant, comparing himself to Jiang Ziya's father, and often executing ministers who offended him, and even the children of the royal family did not let go, a large number of princes and grandsons were given death for various reasons, and it was rumored that Dong Zhuo also had the act of staying in the dragon bed at night in the harem.

Corresponding to Dong Zhuo's growing madness, a large number of generals of the Xiliang Army began to indulge, and it was already light to rob the women of good families and loot property, and some people even openly killed good people in Luoyang City.

The military discipline of the Xiliang Army can be said to be collapsed, from senior generals to ordinary soldiers, all of them have become bloodthirsty and crazy, and everyone in Luoyang and even the entire land of Sanfu is in danger.

This strange situation directly frightened Cai Yong, he was valued by Dong Zhuo, and he also regarded Dong Zhuo as Bole, but now Luoyang presents this situation, that is, Cai Yong is a little cowardly, after all, the senior officials in the court change almost every day, and the courtiers have to write a suicide note before going to court to say goodbye to their families with tears, in this case, how can Cai Yong run back recklessly? He simply took the opportunity of the announcement to stay in Pingzhou for a while to observe the development of the situation.

Dong Zhuo's great changes also brought a sense of urgency to Shang Ji, no matter what the reason for the change, but Dong Zhuo's actions are getting closer and closer to history, and Shang Ji is very suspicious that under the correction of the power of the system, the epic plot of the Eighteen Roads against Dong may break out in the near future.

Shang Ji nominally had 14 million troops under his command, but not much at his disposal. Chenzhou Xinding, there are more than 7 million troops there can only increase but not decrease, and Pingzhou still has 7 million, but it needs to maintain such a large territory, and there are not many troops who can really be flexible and mobile.

Now there are only more than three million troops under the name of Shang Ji who can be dispatched for expeditions at any time, which is too small compared to the hundreds of millions of troops under Dong Zhuo's name, even if the average quality of the Shang Ji army is relatively high, it is useless in the face of absolute superiority!

Another point, Shang Ji has just finished a war to destroy the country, although the casualties of the Shang Ji army in the course of the war are not large, but the consumption of all kinds of materials is an astronomical amount, and the warehouses in Pingzhou are now empty, and they have not been restored in a year and a half.

In this situation, it is difficult to support the large-scale deployment of troops by Shangji, in other words, it is difficult to take advantage of this kind of war between the princes.

It is precisely because of this that Shang Ji reorganized his armaments on the one hand and stepped up preparations for the production of various materials, and on the other hand, he contacted Lu Zhi, who was full of grief and indignation, and persuaded him to hold back for the time being, and not to raise the banner of begging Dong for the time being, so as to wait for the opportunity.

It's a pity that as a loyal minister of the Han family, Lu Zhi certainly wouldn't listen to Shang Ji's advice, but instead he wrote a letter to Shang Ji, persuading Shang Ji to reorganize his armament and prepare for sending troops to fight against Dong Thief.

According to Qianhuan's report, while Lu Zhi was actively preparing for war, he also vigorously contacted the princes of various places, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Dai, Tao Qian, Liu Yu, Ma Teng and even Yan Huang Sharp Blade were contacted, seeking to form an anti-Dong coalition army.

The reactions of the princes in various places are different, some respond positively, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, etc., and those who shirk and are silent, such as Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, and even those who are clearly opposed, such as Ma Teng!

Although the reactions of the princes in various places were different, whether they supported the alliance or supported Dong Zhuo or stayed out of the matter, they all invariably accelerated the pace of military expansion, and everyone could see that with Dong Zhuo going crazy, the situation would be out of control, and the army would become the most important basis for speaking in the next period of time.

In the face of the turbulent situation outside the Guan, Dong Zhuo of Luoyang did not hear about it, but the slaughter of ministers and royal families became more and more rampant, and he felt a sense of madness before his demise.

As the tandem of the allied forces outside the border became more and more frequent, Dong Zhuo became more and more brutal.

The cavalry general Huang Fu Song was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's brutal actions, and tried to escape from Luoyang at night, and raised troops against Dong together with Lu Zhi of Bingzhou. Huangfu Jianshou, the son of Huangfu Song, has always been friendly with Dong Zhuo, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly went to see Dong Zhuo and asked for mercy for Huangfu Song's life.

Dong Zhuo woke up like a dream after seeing Huangfu Jianshou, wept bitterly, and said that many virtuous ministers were affected, which was really Zhuo's fault. said that the sobs were rampant, and they would draw their knives and kill themselves on the spot. is still desperately stopping with his followers, so that there is no scene of Dong Zhuo's corpse mansion.

Everyone present was secretly surprised, thinking that Dong Zhuo had repentance, and they were overjoyed, and they came forward to congratulate them.

However, the next scene directly frightened everyone present, Dong Zhuo stepped forward, slashed open Huangfu Jianshou's chest with a knife, grabbed his still beating heart, and ate it with a cruel smile!

Everyone present was so scared that there were countless people who were-and-urine!

Immediately afterwards, all the officials who congratulated were killed, and the three tribes were razed. At the same time, the Huangfu family was uprooted, thousands of people in the whole clan, including servants and maidservants, were all killed, and the main members of the Huangfu family were hung in front of the palace to show the public.

Overnight, the blood flowed and drifted, and there were no less than tens of thousands of dead!

When the news came, the whole country was shocked, and Lu Zhi vomited blood and fell into a coma when he heard the news.
