Great Han Empire

Chapter 649
At the beginning of April, Wuyue Pavilion, Fufeng County.

Dong An, the lieutenant of the Huqiang School, led an army of [-] cavalry and came all the way to Guanzhong along the Chidao beside the Weishui River.

Due to the continuous rain in Guanzhong for two months, the Weishui River swelled sharply, and many places along the road were washed away, making it difficult to move through the mud.At this time, Dong An already knew that Huangfu Hong led the army northward to settle down, and there were only a few hundred soldiers in Dasan Pass, but he was not in a hurry.Twenty miles away from Dasan Pass is Chencang City.The armies of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were stationed in Chencang City, and the pass must be safe.

Dong An reached out to wipe the rainwater off his face, looked up at the dark sky, and cursed a few dirty words.The weather was so bad, but Dong Zhuo asked him to rush hundreds of miles with his army to Dasan Pass. He was very angry.Huangfuhong left, and Lu Bu could temporarily garrison Dasanguan, why did he have to let himself come back?He felt that Dong Zhuo was being too cautious.

Dong Zhuo asked himself to return to Guanzhong in a hurry, just to monitor Lv Bu and prevent Lv Bu from rebelling.Dong An felt that since Dong Zhuo didn't trust Lv Bu, he should transfer Lv Bu to the Kansai battlefield. This would not only consume Lv Bu's troops, but also ensure the safety of Guanzhong. He really couldn't understand why Dong Zhuo transferred Lv Bu to Chen Cang to garrison.Did Dong Zhuo want to kill Lu Bu with the help of Han Sui and Ma Teng?To Dong Zhuo, killing Lu Bu was a matter of little effort, so why bother?

"My lord, Wuyue Pavilion is five miles ahead." Army Sima Li Feng said loudly, "When we arrive at Wuyue Pavilion, we have already walked out of Wuyue Mountain, and we are only fifty miles away from Chencang."

Dong An looked back at the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist behind him, let out a long breath, and finally walked out of Mount Wuyue.

"Order the ministries to go faster, let's go to Wu Yueting to rest." Dong An said happily, waving his horsewhip.Dong An is about 40 years old, with a strong physique. He is Dong Zhuo's nephew. He also served under Dong Zhuo's tent in the past and is famous for his bravery.Probably drenched by the rain, Dong An was eager to find a place to rest, and took the lead to rush to Wu Yueting with his bodyguard cavalry.

When approaching Wu Yueting, the scouts came to report that Lord Lu Bu had personally rushed to Wu Yueting to meet him, please hurry to see him.

Dong An smiled smugly, thinking that Lu Bu was really smart, knowing that Dong Zhuo didn't trust him, he ran to meet him early on purpose, trying to please himself to show his loyalty to Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu welcomed Dong An into the big tent with a smile on his face.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Lu Bu said: "There has been a lot of rain in Guanzhong this year, and the road is difficult. My lord, you have worked hard."

Dong An laughed and said, "The Son of Heaven has a decree, how dare I be negligent? Don't say it's raining, even if it's hailstorm, I have to come day and night."

Lu Bu laughed loudly, "Go and change your clothes first. I've prepared some food and wine. We'll get drunk when all your lord's subordinates arrive."

After a short time, several of Dong An's subordinates were successively invited to the tent by Lu Bu.Lu Bu was very polite and persuaded them to drink one by one.

The curtain was lifted, and Zhang Liao strode in.

Dong An hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Wen Yuan, come and sit down, have a drink to drive away the cold."

Zhang Liao ignored him, bowed and said to Lu Bu, "My lord, the rebel army has been surrounded, and the rebel's guard cavalry have also been disarmed."

Zhang Liao's voice was not loud, but to Dong An's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which made him unable to react for a long time.

Lu Bu suddenly yelled, "Come on, grab Dong An."

"Who dares to arrest me?" Dong An roared angrily, jumped up, kicked over the table in front of him, and stretched out his hand to draw the knife.At this moment, dozens of big men split open the tent almost at the same time, rushed in with icy rain stars, and restrained his men with lightning speed.

Dong An only felt his vest go cold, and the hand that drew the knife froze immediately.It was a sharp halberd that pierced through his armor and hit his back.At this time, several shining sabers roared towards him, and they viciously rested on his neck.Several soldiers with crossbows rushed in, and the black arrows aimed at his chest.

"Lu Bu, do you want to rebel?" Dong An sternly shouted, "You will die without a place to bury your body. Your wives and children are all in Chang'an, and the wives and children of your subordinates are also in Chang'an. They will be skinned." cramp."

Lu Bu sneered, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily, "Declaration."

The emperor ordered that Dong An, the captain of the Qiang guard, leave his post without permission and lead the army back to Guanzhong without permission.

"Lv Bu, how dare you forge imperial edicts, how dare you forge imperial decrees, you..." Before the terrified Dong An finished speaking, several of Lu Bu's personal guards had already punched and kicked Dong An to the ground.A personal guard stepped on Dong An's head and blocked his mouth.

Several military commanders of the Huqiang School Lieutenant's Department knelt on the ground, panicked and terrified, only Li Feng was very calm and did not change his face.Zhang Liao walked up to them with the imperial decree, and showed them the imperial decree one by one, "My lords have seen it clearly, this is His Majesty's imperial decree, do you have any questions?"

Li Feng and the others shook their heads repeatedly.

Zhang Liao stood up and took out another imperial edict.This is the imperial decree ordered by the emperor to order Lu Bu to serve as the guardian of the Qiang school lieutenant.After Zhang Liao announced the imperial edict, he asked with a smile, "If you have no objections, then get up."

Li Feng and several military commanders hurriedly stood up, saluted Lu Bu again, and met the new captain who protected Qiang.

Lv Bu nodded coldly, waved his hand and shouted to the guards, "Drag Dong An down and kill him."

Dong An's bloody head was placed on the table, and the remaining blood dripped to the ground along the table.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Bu paced back and forth in the big tent.Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other Bingzhou Army generals and Li Feng and other Xiliang Army generals lined up on both sides, silent.

The heavy rain outside the tent was rushing, and the wind was howling. Everyone's mood was as cold and desolate as the drifting wind and rain.

Lu Bu became more and more worried.If Dong Zhuo wants to kill himself, there are many easy ways. There is no need to sacrifice Dong An's life. It seems that the imperial decree must be true, but why did the emperor only mention killing Dong An in the imperial decree? Dong Zhuo.What would be the consequences of killing Dong An, Lu Bu and the generals knew very well.

Lu Bu thought of what Wang Yun said to himself that day: You must act according to the order.So, is there a second imperial decree coming soon?

"My lord..." Li Feng bowed suddenly and said, "I have a secret edict from the emperor."

Lu Bu and the generals were taken aback.

"The person who gave the official the secret edict repeatedly told the subordinate officials not to show the secret edict until they saw Dong An's head." Li Feng took off the leather armor on his body and handed it to Lu Bu, "The secret edict is in the interlayer of the leather armor. Sir, please check it."

Lu Bu grabbed the leather armor and asked sharply, "Who gave you the secret edict?"

Li Feng shook his head and said resolutely: "I will never name this person, even if the Lord kills me, I will not say anything."

Lu Bu stared at him fiercely, wishing he could eat him in one bite.If the killing of Dong Zhuo fails this time, these planners hidden behind can continue to live and continue to plan the big plan to get rid of rape. Just like he can't tell Wang Yun, Li Feng will never spit out the slightest secret.Lu Bu suddenly smiled, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Okay, okay..."

The emperor's secret edict, Dong Zhuo's usurpation, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be executed immediately.The emperor ordered Lu Bu to conquer Meiwu at all costs.

At the beginning of April, Meiwu.

In a luxurious lobby in Meiwu, Dong Min and Shizhong Zhongji were enjoying themselves while drinking and watching female music.

According to the order, Zhong Ji came to Meiwu with Dong Huang, the lieutenant of the Chinese military school, and brought Dong Zhuo back to Chang'an.When preparing to set off the next morning, Dong Zhuo's mount suddenly became restless, neighing, and refused to leave Meiwu.Dong Zhuo slapped the horse with a whip, and at that moment, there was another thunderbolt like landslides and earth cracks.The war horse was frightened and went berserk. It stood upright and knocked Dong Zhuo off his horse.Shizhong Zhongji happened to be right next to Dong Zhuo, and was hit hard by the frenzied war horse accidentally, and fell unconscious on the spot.

Because the battle situation in Kansai became more and more tense, Wang Yun also urged him three times a day, saying that the emperor's condition was getting worse, and Dong Zhuo was worried about changes in Chang'an, so he didn't dare to waste any more time, and hurriedly changed to a horse-drawn carriage.Strangely, the axle of the carriage broke before it left the city.

Dong Zhuo murmured in his heart, and immediately took a divination. Judging from the hexagram, it was very unlucky, and there was bloody disaster in the east.Several shamans in Meiwu also made their own hexagrams, but they were quite different from what Dong Zhuo said. They believed that it was auspicious and that the East would produce nobles, implying that Dong Zhuo would become the Ninth Five.

Just when Dong Zhuo was hesitating, Chong Ji woke up, and he also made a hexagram while lying on the couch, and his statement was exactly the same as that of several witches.Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and set off with the army without hesitation.

"The Grand Master has been away from Meiwu for three days. According to the itinerary, he will be able to arrive at Chang'an City tomorrow." Zhong Ji looked back at the heavy rain outside the window, frowning and touching his thigh, "I'm so unlucky. Once the horse hits, it takes about ten and a half months to walk."

Dong Min laughed, "You are here to rest and recuperate, what's wrong? If the horse is not my brother's favorite mount, I can kill it and treat you to eat horse meat."

"Forget it, forget it, what's the fuss with a beast?" Zhong Ji shook his hands again and again, lamenting his bad luck.

Suddenly, the drums of war in the city thundered, and the shouts were earth-shattering.Dong Min was terrified, jumped up, and rushed out of the house.

A personal guard rushed over, "My lord, it's not good, the Xiliang rebels, the Xiliang rebels are here..."

Dong Min braved the pouring rain and rushed up the tower.

In the hazy mist, a large army was arrayed outside the city, ready to attack Wubao.

"Crazy, crazy..." Dong Min cursed, "He dared to attack the city in this weather, I told him to go and never return."

There are three thousand Xiliang elites in Wubao, with excellent weapons, Dong Min doesn't have to worry about Wubao being breached at all, the only thing he wants to know now is who owns this army.

Lu Bu ordered Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian to lead a feint attack on the east, south, and north gates, while Zhang Liao and himself led the main force to attack the west gate.

If Meiwu can be captured quickly, the plan to kill Dong Zhuo will be half successful. Even if it still fails, it is already difficult for Dong Zhuo to sustain himself in the face of the fierce attack of the Northern Border Army when his vitality is seriously injured.

Lightning flashed across the sky, thunder rumbled, and heavy rain poured down.

The siege battle started immediately with Lu Bu's roar.

The long arrows from both sides pierced through the rain curtain and let out deafening roars.The roar of the ballista was accompanied by bursts of thunder, shaking the world.

Under the command of Lu Bu, the heroic soldiers of the Bingzhou army went on and on, launching wave after wave of offensives against the so-called impregnable Meiwu.

Lu Bu's army suddenly attacked under the cover of heavy rain, and Meiwu had no preparations, not to mention wood and stones, and even the urgently needed long arrows were still in Meiwu's arsenal.What Lu Bu wanted was to catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared, so when the army arrived at the city, he immediately launched an attack.Mei Wu fell into extreme panic and panic.

Because Dong Min didn't know the number of the siege army and couldn't judge the enemy's main attack direction, he didn't order to concentrate the main force to the west gate for a long time.Some of the [-] soldiers were protecting their families in Meiwu, and some were evenly distributed among the four city gates. As a result, within a short period of time, the Bingzhou army blocked the west gate.

There was too much rain and too much thunder.The sound of the war drums was completely covered by the continuous thunder and roaring rain, and the flag was drenched by the heavy rain and could not be deployed.

Dong Min was frightened and felt a deep fear. He didn't expect that in this heavy rain, all the advantages of Meiwu would be lost.At this time, the soldiers on both sides lost their command, and the fight was all about courage, morale, and bloody killings. Whoever was ruthless would win.

Lu Bu personally led the people to rush up the city wall.The halberd is broken, swing the knife and fight again, the knife is broken, pick up a spear and fight again.The enemy's saber hit Lu Bu's head, and the helmet split open immediately, blood poured out, and blood and rain flowed all over his face.Lu Bu was angry, his hair was disheveled, he rushed up like a tiger, grabbed the enemy, and threw him down the city wall, "Kill, kill them all, don't leave one, don't leave..."

Dong Min was stunned when he saw Lu Bu, and the most terrible thing happened, Lu Bu rebelled.

Lu Bu also saw Dong Min. He roared crazily, held a knife in both hands, and killed 13 people in a row. He broke through all kinds of resistance and reached Dong Min.Dong Min turned around and ran away.

Knife broken.Lu Bu was furious, punched and kicked, and killed three more people, "Knife, give me the knife..."

Zhang Liao soared into the air, and threw out his saber, "Fengxian, kill him, kill him..."

Holding the knife in his hand, Lu Bu yelled, "Go to hell..."

When the sword arrived, Dong Min was split into two like a rainbow piercing the sun.
