The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 71

800 people came and 700 people returned.

More than 700 cavalrymen from Xiliang walked slowly on the official road back to Luoyang, their heads drooping, their faces full of sadness and unwillingness.

When everyone walked out of Jiangyi, two knights suddenly appeared at the end of the official road.

Seeing this, General Pi hastily raised his hand to stop the people who continued to move forward.

When the two knights came forward, they dismounted from their horses. The older knight knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The Prime Minister ordered General Hua to lead his troops back to Luoyang to resist the Kwantung coalition forces immediately."

After the knight's voice fell behind, a commotion suddenly appeared in the cavalry team, and everyone beat their horses and spread out to the left and right.

Upon seeing this, the knight frowned inexplicably.

After a long time.

A cart came into the eyes of the two of them. The cart was covered with a piece of blood-stained white cloth, and under the white cloth was General Hua, whom they were looking for so hard.

"The general unfortunately died at the hands of thieves."

General Pi let out a long and helpless sigh, then bowed his hands to the two of them, and said: "I need to trouble you two brothers to go to Luoyang again, and report the funeral to Xiangguo on my behalf."

The knight's face froze, then he nodded awkwardly, and said, "It's not a matter of thanks."

"General, take care, the younger one will leave first."

The knight bowed his hands to bid farewell to the general, and immediately rode his horse along the official road when he came to report the funeral to Luoyang.

Three days later.

After the knight returned to Luoyang, he heard that Dong Zhuo had led his army to Hulao Pass to resist the Kwantung Allied Forces, so he rushed to Hulao Pass to report his funeral at night.

At noon, Dong Zhuo was in the commander's tent discussing with the generals about retreating the enemy.

Participants include: the heroic Lu Bu, the majestic Zhang Ji, the hulking Li Jue, the high-spirited Guo Si, the mature and stable Xu Rong, etc.

All the generals spoke enthusiastically, and the voice of asking for war was endless.

Lü Bu got up and came to Dong Zhuo, knelt down on one knee, and saluted, "I can't repay the kindness of my adoptive father. It's really ridiculous that the foxes and rats in this city dare to pretend to be the heroes of the world. Bu would like to mention it." A teacher of tigers and wolves will cure the ringworm and scabies for the adoptive father, please allow the adoptive father to allow it."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "I have Feng Xian, why should I be afraid of the thieves from the East?"

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Li Su stroked his beard and said with a smile, "How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?"

"Xiangguo has ordered people to go to Jiangyi to summon General Hua to help in the battle. After General Hua arrives, he will relieve Xiangguo's worries. The general only needs to watch the battle from the sidelines." Li Su saluted Lu Bu with a smile.

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

Dong Zhuo nodded approvingly, and said: "Let Hua Xiong go and test the foundation of the Kwantung Allied Forces first, and after testing the strength of the Kwantung Allied Forces, it will not be too late for Fengxian to lead the army."

"promise."

Lu Bu bowed his hands to Dong Zhuo, and then retreated silently.

Right now.

The soldiers lifted the curtain and entered, knelt down on one knee, saluted and said, "My lord, the soldiers who are going to Jiangyi come back to their orders."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, thinking that what he was about to receive was the news that Hua Xiong's squadron was coming back for help, so he personally invited all the generals to come out of their tents to welcome them.

The two knights got off their horses at a distance of more than twenty steps away from the commander's tent, quickly came to Dong Zhuo, and knelt down with a plop.

"Enlightenment"

The old knight was about to speak, but was stopped by Dong Zhuo with a wave of his hand. Dong Zhuo pointed to the white cloth tied on the knight's right arm, and asked sharply, "The enemy is at hand, why are you doing this? But it will disturb my army's morale." ?"

The old knight's heart tightened, and he faltered and said in a trembling voice: "Qiqi reports to the Prime Minister that General Hua Xiong has been killed by a traitor, and I ask the Prime Minister to express his condolences."

After the knight finished speaking, he knocked his head to the ground and burst into tears.

It was not Hua Xiong who was crying, but himself, because he saw his future in Dong Zhuo's face.

Dong Zhuo suddenly swayed when he heard the words, and took a step back unconsciously, his dizziness almost made him unable to stand up.

Seeing this, Li Su hurried forward and took Dong Zhuo's arm, saying, "Xiangguo be careful."

After stabilizing his emotions, Dong Zhuo suddenly slapped his thigh, and exclaimed with grief all over his face: "I lost Hua Xiong, like a broken pillar in the northern sky, it's really heaven that lost me."

"The Prime Minister is cautious."

Hearing this, Li Su quickly stretched out his hand to Dong Zhuo for a silent gesture, and said: "You must not say such words to disturb the morale of the army at this critical moment."

"Hearing the bad news suddenly, I messed up my mind. Fortunately, I have you reminding me, so I don't make mistakes again and again." Dong Zhuo said.

Li Su quietly leaned into Dong Zhuo's ear, and whispered, "Xiangguo can use this matter to make a fuss."

"Oh?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "How should we deal with it?"

A shrewd look suddenly flashed in Li Su's eyes, and he said: "Xiangguo only needs to blame Yuan Shao for Hua Xiong's death, saying that he has the name of four generations and three princes, but he did such a thing as sending someone to assassinate Hua Xiong." If you do unrighteous things and make them lose the name of justice, then the hearts of the people will naturally lean to the side of the imperial court, and then the prime minister will lead the army of justice to suppress the unjust thieves, in harmony with the way of heaven and the hearts of the people, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, he clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "Good, great good."

When Dong Zhuo looked at the two knights kneeling in front of him again, an undisguised sternness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Hua Xiong led his army back to the division and died at the hands of an assassin. The assassin has been captured by our side. After interrogation, the assassin confessed to what he did and confessed that he was sent by Yuan Shao."

"Do you think so?" Dong Zhuo asked coldly.

The elder knight stopped his companion who was about to speak, and immediately took the lead, saying: "What the prime minister said is what we think."

"good."

Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go back to the camp and prepare to defend against the enemy."

Dong Zhuo raised his hand and waved away the crowd, and immediately pulled Li Su back to the tent, went to the front of the case, picked up the list submitted by the Hedong Wei family, and looked at it silently.

Wei Ji is basically a two-faced master who cuts tofu with a knife. While donating money to support Liu Bian, he made a list of Liu Bian's details and secretly presented it to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.

There is absolutely no bottom line in the way the clan behaves. Wei Ji betrayed Liu Bian at all in order to protect himself, but his behavior fully interprets the despicableness and filthiness of the clan.

"Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, Yuwen Chengdu."

Dong Zhuo silently recited the names on the list, but his brows gradually frowned into a word Sichuan.

"Could it be that there are real heroes among the untouchables?" Dong Zhuo was a little skeptical of his life because of this list.

Hearing this, Li Su silently glanced at the list held tightly in Dong Zhuo's hands, shook his head in a dazed expression, and said, "Isn't this too unbelievable?"

"Immediately send people to search among the people, and if you find anyone with extraordinary abilities, please invite them to see me immediately." Dong Zhuo said.

Hearing this, Li Su was startled for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, an imperceptible smile flashed across his mouth, and said, "I take orders."

In fact, Li Su's subtext is: This time, he can make a lot of money again.

In fact, Dong Zhuo's idea was still very good, but when the order was passed down and implemented, it immediately changed.

What Dong Zhuo thought was to go to the people to search for capable people and strangers, but when it came to actual operation, the executive officials turned this order into a means of exploitation in disguise to search for the people's fat and anointing.
