Robbers in the martial arts world

Chapter 225
After killing all future enemies, Huang Zhong, Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei carefully guarded their surroundings, thousands of elite personal soldiers even formed an army formation, tightly protecting Xiao Yun's body.

Two hours later, Xiao Yun finally passed through the thunder tribulation, and his spirit returned to his body. Seeing the traces of a great battle around him, his face darkened. Xiao Yun didn't expect that there would really be someone who didn't know what to do and who would come to attack him. .

"Congratulations, my lord, for getting through the thunder disaster!" Zhao Zilong and Huang Zhong congratulated Xiao Yun.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, I didn't expect that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to deal with me!" Xiao Yun's eyes flashed a cold light, and he thanked Zhao Zilong and the others.

"My lord, you're being polite. It's our duty to protect my lord. My lord, how many of the people who came here this time claim to belong to the Corpse Demon Cult. I wonder if my lord knows about this Corpse Demon Cult?" Huang Zhong looked at Xiao Yun and asked. .

"The Corpse Demon Sect, I haven't heard of it, maybe it's a little-known sect! Don't worry about it!" Xiao Yun said lightly.

He had never heard of this Corpse Demon Cult, so it must be a humble sect.

It is a pity that Xiao Yun miscalculated this time. This corpse demon sect is not well-known, but this cult has a very powerful backer. The Demon Cult formed a grievance.

Now that he has passed the thunder calamity, Xiao Yun withdrew the formation, erased the traces of his surviving the thunder calamity this time, and quickly returned to Jinyang City under the protection of Huang Zhong and others!
He directly survived the quadruple lightning tribulation this time, which simply broke the historical record, which can be called a miracle. In the historical records, no one has ever survived the quadruple thunder tribulation at once!
If Xiao Yun hadn't been too weak in the end, he still wanted to go through the fifth thunder tribulation!It's a pity that manpower will eventually be exhausted, and the Emperor Tian Dao Zun he cultivated is also seriously consumed, which is no longer enough to support him to continue!

After returning to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Xiao Yun consolidated the state he had just broken through and slowly recovered his weakened soul, while looking for various panaceas to help Hua Tuo heal Wanwan, so that she would wake up early!

A few months passed without knowing it.

……

Luoyang, the imperial capital, Hulao Pass.

The Eighteenth Route princes gathered under Hulao Pass. An army of more than 300 million has been attacking Hulao Pass for several months, but they still haven't captured Hulao Pass. It's hard to believe.

In the final analysis, each of the [-] princes had their own ulterior motives, they didn't want to show their true strength, they guarded against each other, and they were not united at all. They were afraid that they would compromise their own strength and make others cheaper.

Moreover, the real purpose of these princes coming to Luoyang was not to kill Dong Zhuo and rescue the emperor, but to build their own reputation, for fame.

These many vassals are all from the gentry family, and all of them are ambitious, and few of them really have a heart for the big man!
Sun Jian was concerned with the big man. Seeing that so many princes stood still, attacking Hulao Pass every day was just a show. He was upright and brave, and he directly led his 11 troops to attack Hangu Pass from another direction.

Sun Jian defeated the Liangzhou army several times and almost took the Hangu Pass. However, at the critical moment, Yuan Shu, the deputy leader, was worried that Sun Jian would take the credit, so he secretly seized the army's food and grass, causing the army to be defeated due to lack of food. The loss was heavy, and two generals were sacrificed.

An angry Sun Jian was about to kill Yuan Shu when he came back, but Yuan Shu pretended he didn't know, and by the way, he pulled out one of his men to act as a scapegoat. As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao chose to help his younger brother Yuan Shu. Except for fighting with Gongsun Zan for him, no one supported him anymore.

All of a sudden, Sun Jian was really chilled. He was very disappointed with this alliance, and he would never rush to the forefront again!
……

Luoyang, Grand Master's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo had a sullen face, staring at his son-in-law Li Ru with fierce eyes, and said, "We really want to move the capital to Chang'an!"

The current situation is very good, Dong Zhuo's power is all over the world, he wants wind and rain, but his son-in-law Li Ru persuades him to move the capital to Chang'an, how can Dong Zhuo agree!

"That's right, the capital must be moved to Chang'an!" Li Ru gritted his teeth against Dong Zhuo's coercion.

"I now have more than 160 million soldiers and horses. Do I still worry that the allied forces of the princes will break through the Hulao Pass and fail to break through the imperial capital Luoyang!" Dong Zhuo said proudly.

The Eighteenth Route princes had been at Hulao Pass for more than a few months, but they were still unable to attack Hulao Pass, which made Dong Zhuo think that these coalition forces were vulnerable.

"Father-in-law, these vassals are not loyal to the big man anymore! They are mainly for fame and fortune this time, just for fame, they have not shown their real strength at all! These vassals can be consumed, but we can't!" Li Confucianism persuaded.

"Why can't we? I think we can!" Dong Zhuo said arrogantly.

"We don't control all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang now, and we have to be on guard against Lu Bu at all times. Besides, there are too many gentry families in Luoyang. If we continue to make trouble like this, we will definitely offend all the gentry families. This is for your father-in-law. It's very unfavorable!" Li Ru sighed.

Dong Zhuo's cruelty and inhumanity in Luoyang have aroused public anger, and even many nobles are very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, Li Ru also discovered Dong Zhuo's many shortcomings. In addition, Dong Zhuo's reputation is completely bad now, and he has lost the qualification to compete for the world, and Li Ru can't directly say these.

That's why he persuaded his father-in-law Dong Zhuo to move his capital to Chang'an, intending to dominate Liangzhou. With Chang'an's many natural dangers, it is still easy to defend.

However, Luoyang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, surrounded by enemies and full of dangers, which is not conducive to defense at all, and is not suitable as a foundation.

"Our foundation is not here. Father-in-law, your reputation has also been ruined by Cao Cao and those princes. Staying in a place like Luoyang will only increase troubles. It is better to leave Luoyang to those princes and let them help each other. Killing, fighting in the nest is better!" Li Ru touched his chin and said to Dong Zhuo.

"But I'm really not willing to leave so much wealth in Luoyang to those princes like this!" Dong Zhuo said hesitantly.

"It's simple. When we move the capital to Chang'an, we can move all the wealth and population of Luoyang away, and those gentry clan leaders who dare to resist will be killed without mercy! And we can also set fire to directly burn Luoyang City. The princes leave anything behind!" Li Ru said fiercely.

"This...would it be too much to do this, and it would ruin my reputation forever!" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru in shock, he never thought that his son-in-law would come up with such a vicious scheme for him.

"Father-in-law, is your reputation good now? Since we are going to do it, we should do it thoroughly. If we don't do anything, we will directly ransack the homes of these gentry families and get huge wealth, especially the Yuan family. The leader and deputy leader of the second alliance of princes are the two sons of Yuan Kai!" Li Ru said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then we'll do it like this!" Dong Zhuo's expression changed a few times, and he finally shouted.

He didn't have a good impression of the noble families in Luoyang, and he coveted the wealth of Luoyang City, so he agreed directly!

"Father-in-law, you have to hide from Lu Bu first. When we are ready, we will directly take Luoyang's population and wealth to Chang'an. At that time, Lu Bu can only retreat with us obediently, otherwise he will bear the pressure of the alliance of princes alone. Anger! We will plan to get rid of Lu Bu after we get to Chang'an!" Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo with a smile.

"Okay, I will. Wen You will be in charge of moving the capital to Chang'an!" Dong Zhuo said solemnly.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will arrange everything!" Li Ru cupped his hands.
