Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eighteen Princes

After Lu Bu disappeared, no one noticed at all.

Many of the soldiers were focused on how to kill Lin Mu.

The fighting lasted until dawn the next day, and after dawn, these Xiliang soldiers found that the corpses had already been piled up here.

And the forest stood at the top of the mountain of corpses, chopping up a soldier.

In this mountain of corpses, there are not only the corpses of soldiers, but also the corpses of generals.

Baiguan already knew that there was a fight ahead, but he never knew who was fighting.

In order to avoid affecting themselves, these officials even fled.

After dawn, they found out that the person who fought with Dong Zhuojun last night turned out to be the Son of Heaven.

How big is this!

Everyone hurriedly stood in place and observed the battlefield.

What does it matter to them whether the emperor lives or dies?

Even if the emperor is dead, aren't they still officials?

If this is the case, then why worry about the Son of Heaven?

Isn't it good to let the Son of Heaven and Xiliang Bing fight to the death?

But soon they were surprised to find that Dong Zhuo's subordinate Dong Yue had died at the foot of the forest.

Dong Yue has been appointed as the leading general, if there is no accident, he should be fighting with the princes of the Eighteenth Route now.

But now the vanguard Hu Zhen went to Tiger Prison Pass with a number of generals to resist many princes, but the main general Dong Yue died in Luoyang City, and even died under the axe of the Son of Heaven.

"What's that?"

An official pointed to a car driver who had fallen to the ground and shouted to the others.

"That's ...... Supervise...... Thief? ”

Although Dong Zhuo's head has been cut off by Lin Mu, his car is gorgeous, and many people can recognize it.

It's like some people in modern times can recognize a luxury car that has been soaked in a flood.

The body of Dong Zhuo, who was wearing luxurious clothes in the car, was naturally recognized by everyone.

Not only the hundred officials have seen it, but these Xiliang soldiers have also seen it.

By the time the soldiers saw everything in the city, their morale had already begun to slump.

The generals who drove them forward also began to slowly depart after attacking all night and finding that they could not defeat the forest at all.

As the generals began to disappear, the soldiers began to flee as well.

When the soldiers began to flee, the number of soldiers rushing to the forest began to decrease rapidly, and finally they scattered directly as birds and beasts, and dispersed with a bang.

If Lin Mu was a sneak attack on Dong Zhuo and killed Dong Zhuo, it would be impossible for these soldiers and the generals in Dong Zhuo's army to leave like this.

They will loot the whole of Luoyang, and then control the emperor and hundreds of officials, and they will control the people themselves.

But now Lin Mu killed Dong Zhuo directly in front of them.

Even after a night of bloody battles with them and never fell, such a person is no longer what they can imagine.

They could only abandon their armor and flee, and they didn't dare to stay in Luoyang City at all.

Two days later, the news of Dong Zhuo's killing began to spread, and the first to get the news was the princes of the Eighteenth Route who confronted Hu Zhen in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

In front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the princes of the Eighteenth Route were drinking and feasting in the tent, and suddenly saw a herald rushing into the camp.

"What? Dong Zhuo is dead? The Son of Heaven killed him among the hosts? What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Yuan Shao looked at the herald in front of him, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.

Yuan Shao is not unseen Liu Bian, in Yuan Shao's impression, Liu Bian's body is thin and weak, and his personality can be called weak.

How is it possible that such a person actually killed Dong Zhuo in the midst of ten thousand armies, and he is still safe and sound.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately stood up and reprimanded.

"Nonsense! The Xiliang Tiger and Wolf are also a thief, but they are not silverfish, Dong Zhuo is even more human, otherwise I would have cut off his head that day to make a contribution. ”

Since he ran away from Luoyang, he has preached everywhere that he had sacrificed his life to assassinate Dong.

He didn't finish his career, but he was by someone else, isn't this a slap in the face.

The rest of the princes were like this, and they all said that it was impossible.

The heralds were conclusive.

"At this time, it is indeed true, Niu Fu and Dong Zhuo were killed in public, the rest of the generals Zhang Ji fled in embarrassment, Fan Chou, Guo Yan and other generals were killed, and now the Xiliang rebels have been taken by the remaining Xiliang generals to flee from the capital, there is this thing as evidence!"

The herald said as he pulled something out of his back.

The crowd hurriedly surrounded it, and when the herald opened it, everyone realized that it was actually a human head.

The human head was so broken that the flesh on it had been almost eaten by something, but there was still a small half of its face on it.

"It's ......"

After Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu took a closer look, they found that this head turned out to be Dong Zhuo's head.

Yuan Shao pointed to the head and asked in a trembling voice.

"This ...... It's ......"

The herald hurriedly said.

"This is the Son of Heaven who hung the heads of Dong Zhuo and his subordinates at the east gate, and then was taken down and fed to the dogs, this is one snatched from the mouth of the wild dog, and the other heads have been gnawed by the wild dogs.

Only this head was constantly fought over by wild dogs, so some of it was retained, and the humble duty felt that this head alliance leader should know, so he brought it. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Dong Zhuo was already obese, and he had the most meat on his head, so he was naturally fought over by a group of dogs.

"Dong Zhuo is dead?"

After Yuan Shao glanced around at everyone, he was still a little incredulous, but he didn't want to believe it.

As the leader of the Eighteenth Road Princes, he is in order to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now that Dong Zhuo is dead, where should they go?

Yuan Shao collapsed in his seat.

"Lord Yuan, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the territory of Youzhou coincides with the rebellion of the Hu people, so I went first."

After Gongsun Zhan saluted Yuan Shao, he left.

The same was true of many other princes, who began to leave on the grounds that there was an incident in their territory.

It's just that the big tent, which was still full of people, became silent.

Only Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are still in the tent.

The news of Dong Zhuo's ambush, after the news came out, the world was shaken.

But soon it's time to do something.

Those who should attack other princes attack other princes, and those who should grab territory will then seize territory.

Although Dong Zhuo is dead, what can he do?

Now that the imperial family is in decline, the troops loyal to the emperor have not pulled out more than five thousand.

The emperor was only nominally careless, and had no real influence on these princes at all.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although Zhou Tianzi is still the Son of Heaven, what can he do with those subject countries?

The same is true today.

"How? Why don't you think about it? ”

Lin Mu stood in front of the dungeon and looked at Jia Xu in prison.

Jia Xu has been very well-behaved since he learned that Dong Zhuo was killed.

For the past few days, he squatted in the prison and didn't say anything.

It wasn't until now that Lin Mu had almost taken care of everything that he remembered this poisoner.
