Great Han Empire

Chapter 653
On the long street, Dong Huang, the lieutenant of the Chinese military school, rushed all the way with two thousand guards.

I told my uncle again and again that Li Su was unreliable and arrogant, and it was inappropriate to stay in the palace to lead Yulin. Persuading, but also reprimanded himself again and again.How is the result?Although it is still unclear what exactly happened in the palace, I can say with certainty that Li Su must have rebelled.

"I should have killed him a long time ago." Dong Juan was riding on the horse, regretful.He kept yelling back and forth, urging the guards to run faster.Uncle only brought three hundred personal guards into the palace, and the three thousand cavalry were guarded outside the palace, unable to personally protect him.If Li Su had set up an ambush in the palace in advance, his uncle and the three hundred guards would surely have died.

"Quick, quick..." The more Dong Huang thought about it, the more frightened he became, the whip in his hand fluttered up and down in the air, making terrifying howls.The heavily armed soldiers were running hard, sweating profusely, panting violently, heavy footsteps and the impact of various weapons intertwined together, converging into a huge sound, the atmosphere was tense and suffocating .

Dong Huang rode his horse and rushed out of the street, turning to the avenue facing the palace.The sound of killing soaring into the sky ahead could be clearly heard immediately.

Dong Huang stopped in shock.

=

One person stood on the long street in a horse.

The man on the horse was holding a roll of eye-catching yellow silk, and a black cloak wrapped his thin body.

After the horses, there is an army waiting in full battle.Rows of soldiers holding weapons filled the long street.

A murderous atmosphere enveloped the entire long street in an instant.

Dong Huang's heart felt cold, and a chill suddenly invaded his whole body.He shivered involuntarily.It wasn't just Li Su who rebelled, but also the Captain Sili in front of him.Behind this Sir Sili Xiaowei are many ministers and influential family members in the imperial court.

Huang Wan standing on this long street means that at least half of the forces in Chang'an City have rebelled.The great uncle is more ominous than ominous, and the Dong family is in great trouble.

=

With a solemn expression, Huang Wan slowly opened the imperial decree in her hand.

Dong Huang threw away his whip, drew out his saber, and sat firmly on the horse, without the slightest intention of dismounting to accept the order.

Huang Wan didn't even look at him, held up the imperial decree, and shouted loudly: "The Son of Heaven has a decree, Dong Zhuo is in trouble, and his crimes are heinous, and the nine clans will be exterminated according to the law."

Dong Huang sneered, looked back at the guards behind him and the soldiers who were rushing towards him, and suddenly raised his knife and shouted: "Treason and rebellion, attack and kill the palace, brothers, follow me to kill, protect the emperor..."

"Protect the Son of Heaven, kill..."

=

Huang Wan slowly rolled up the imperial decree, put it in his arms respectfully, then looked up at the tiger guards rushing from the end of the long street, and shook his head regretfully.

Several personal guards rushed up to protect Huang Wan and quickly retreated behind the army.

"Boom" there was a loud noise, the ballista let out a deafening roar, and then the long arrows rained, and countless arrows screamed and shot at the oncoming enemy.

On the long street, the bloody battle began.

=

Jing Zhaoyin Mansion.

When Chengmen school captain Wang Xin walked into the gate, a strong blood rushed straight to his forehead, making him very uncomfortable.He reached out to cover his nose with his hand, but when he raised his hand to his mouth, he immediately realized something, and immediately changed direction, and instead touched his beard a few times.

Corpses can be seen everywhere on the ground in the mansion, and blood is everywhere.Wang Xin tried to find a clean place to put his foot down so as not to dirty his boots, but he couldn't put his raised foot down, and finally had to forcefully put it on a blood-stained footprint.

Wang Xin stopped.He looked inside and found that there were more dead bodies in front of him, and some places didn't even have a place to stand, and he had to step on the dead bodies to pass.

"Did you find Dong Bang?" Wang Xin asked.

"It's still inside, and we can't escape." A military commander replied, "We surrounded him early and fought suddenly, even if he had wings, he couldn't fly out. But..."

Wang Xin turned to look at him, "But what..."

"Because of Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, Dong Bang, considering the safety of the capital, temporarily dispatched five hundred elite soldiers from the tombs of Chang'an. The number of guards in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion suddenly increased. We suffered a great loss during the attack..."

"How many of us are there?"

"There are only more than 600 people, including the disciples of Yuan Clan, Yang Clan, Horse Clan and many other families." The military Sima said worriedly, "Jingzhao Yin's Mansion has three people stationed in Yangling, Gaoling, Baling and other places. Thousand counties national soldiers, if they get the news, come back overnight..."

"They are dead." Wang Xin said casually.

The army Sima and the several officers standing behind Wang Xin looked at Wang Xin in surprise, their expressions were horrified.

"Don't worry, we will kill everyone who needs to be killed. Dong Zhuo's power will disappear overnight. Your lords are all heroes who have eradicated traitors and sycophants and defended the country. Your Majesty will definitely reward you."

Suddenly there was a loud shout from the courtyard in the distance, and then Wang Xin saw several bloody soldiers rushing over, one of them was holding a bloody head in his hand.

"My lord, we killed Dong Bang." The soldiers shouted loudly while running excitedly, "Dong Bang is dead."

"Okay..." Wang Xin couldn't help himself, raised his hands and cheered, "Reward, great reward." Then he turned around and shouted to his guards, "Quick, beat the drum, gather the rest of the troops, and rush to help Mr. Huang, quickly..."

"My lord, we are running out of troops..."

"Master Huang only has 1000 people, so he can't kill Dong Juan." Wang Xin turned around and left with a very firm expression, "Even if we fight all of us today and die in battle, we still have to kill Dong Zhuo. Let's go, go..."

The sound of war drums went straight to the sky with bloody tragedy and solemnity.

Weiyang Palace.

The fierce killing sound passed through the closed window sash and clearly reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor curled up his thin body, and sat behind the desk in panic, holding a brocade box tightly in his hands, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness.He was very scared. The fire and killing in the Luoyang Palace three years ago once again flashed through his mind.

Ma Yu sat beside the emperor, holding a scroll of letters and reading slowly, calm and leisurely.Suddenly there was a muffled thunder-like roar, as if a thunder had exploded outside the house, and the ground, doors and windows trembled violently at this moment.The emperor screamed, instinctively dropped the brocade box in his arms, put his hands on his head, tried his best to bend his thin body, wishing he could burrow into the ground.

Ma Yu was so shocked that the letter in his hand fell to the ground.

The brocade box rolled to the ground, because of the impact, the lid of the box was lifted suddenly, and the chess pieces in the box were scattered all over the floor.

Ma Yu turned his head to look at the trembling emperor who shrank into a ball, and bent over to pick up the chess pieces on the ground.The Son of Heaven loves to play chess and the piano, exactly the same as the late emperor.

The emperor suddenly found that the brocade box in his arms was gone, and then he saw the chess pieces rolled on the ground. He whimpered and cried, and ran to pick up the chess pieces on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to pick it up..."

"This belongs to the father, this belongs to the father..." The emperor was crying and looking around in a hurry.Every time he picked up a chess piece, he carefully wiped it on his clothes, and then solemnly put it in the brocade box.At this moment, the killing outside the house and the fear in his heart seemed to have left him, and had nothing to do with him anymore.

This chess piece is very ordinary, not something expensive.Ma Yu was puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, did the late Emperor give you this?"

The Son of Heaven shook his head, wiped his tearful eyes with his sleeve, "This is what my mother left to my father, and my father has always kept it by my side, no one will give it to me. Every time my mother dies, my father will give it to you." I took them out and rubbed them one by one until they were shining like stars in the sky. My mother’s piano was given to my sister when my father left. No one gave me my mother’s chess when my father left. , he probably wanted to keep it with him all the time. I wanted it too, so I secretly stayed."

After the Son of Heaven finished speaking with sobs, Ma Yu couldn't help but think of the late emperor, and the Great Han Society that collapsed suddenly after the late emperor left. His heart was sore and tears rolled down quietly.

The two monarchs and ministers knelt on the ground, one picking up and the other wiping, with no distractions, and a peaceful heart.

Li Su let out a miserable snort, stepped back quickly, and the sharp halberd left his body with a piece of flesh and blood.

"Ah..." Li Su was in so much pain that he didn't want to live, he opened his mouth and let out a long, fierce and angry howl, "Kill, kill...kill the Xiliang thief..."

Qin Yi, Chen Wei, and ten Xijiang high-ranking men made unstoppable gestures and fought fiercely, desperately blocking the Xiliang soldiers' charge, but there were more and more Xiliang soldiers, and they couldn't kill them all.

The masters of Xijiang fell one after another.The Habayashi Army fell one row after another.

Li Su turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo's car, who was close at hand, and his yell was extremely terrifying and shrill, "Block, kill Dong Zhuo, kill him..."

Yang Zan charged forward with a knife in one hand, "Kill Dong Zhuo, kill..."

The bloody killing was unprecedentedly intense.

=

Xiliang soldiers fought bravely at all costs, and gradually approached Dong Zhuo.

The Habayashi army suffered heavy casualties, their corpses piled up on the imperial road, and were trampled and trampled wantonly by the enemy.

Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxed, and his fat body sat down on the car seat with peace of mind.Suddenly he felt very uncomfortable on his face, so he tore off a piece of silk cloth from the skirt, and wiped the blood spattered on his face vigorously.The blood had already condensed, sticking to his beard and cheeks.More and more blood was wiped, and half of his face turned into a maroon patch.

Dong Zhuo was very annoyed, and cursed a few times in dissatisfaction, then spat hard on the dirty silk cloth on his hand, and wiped it on his face again.

I am savage, stupid, ignorant, bloody, and cruel. Well, I am savage, and I am savage. Now even if I am called a barbarian, I will admit it.

Dong Zhuo raised the silk cloth to his mouth, and spit a few more times in a fit of anger.Hmph, when I kill all of you, see who else calls me a barbarian.He wiped his cheek vigorously, as if cutting the flesh of a scholar with a knife.I want to kill you all.

Suddenly, his hands stopped, and his tilted head did not move.He saw another Habayashi army approaching in the distance.

Where are Dong Yue, Dong Hui, Dong Huang, and Dong Bang?Why didn't any of them come?Are they all killed?
Dong Zhuo slowly turned his head to look at the sky in the direction of the west city.The blue sky, a few white floating clouds, it rained for more than two months. With my car driving in Chang'an City today, it disappeared. After the rain, the sky cleared up.An ominous thought suddenly crossed his mind.The war horse refused to leave Meiwu until death, the axle of the carriage was broken, and the rain stopped. What is the omen?Is it good or bad?
There are eight thousand troops outside the city, and thousands of troops inside the city. Who can kill me?
=

Situ House.

Facing Huangfusong's aggressive eyes and the halberd and arrow pointed at him, Hu Zhen hesitated.

Was it the blood splashing in the lobby, and Huangfusong immediately chopped off his head, or did he betray Dong Zhuo, and betray the nearly 30-year brotherhood between himself and Dong Zhuo?
After Hu Zhen's army withdrew to Guanzhong with Dong Zhuo, it was first supplemented in terms of strength.Dong Zhuo began to gradually reduce the number of the Southern Army since several captains in the Southern Army conspired to rebel.Some of the 5000 southern troops were taken to Meiwu by Dong Min, some were placed in the guards, and some were supplemented to the various departments of the northern army.Hu Zhen stationed at Wuguan with [-] troops.

After Niu Fu defeated Kansai, Dong Zhuo planned to regroup his army and launch a counterattack as soon as possible.He urgently wrote to Hu Zhen in Meiwu, and asked him to rush to Chang'an to discuss the attack on the Guandong.Hu Zhen originally wanted to decline, because Dong Zhuo's intention was obvious, and he wanted to replace Niu Fu to command the front line in Kansai.

Now the contradictions between Niu Fu and Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals in the army are becoming more and more intense. If we want to win the battle in Kansai, the coach must be changed.Among the several Zhonglang generals at present, Dong Yue is his nephew, and Dong Zhuo must be by his side.Lu Bu, Duan Yao, and Bao Hong lack prestige in the Xiliang army and cannot be the commander-in-chief of the army.The only ones who met the requirements were Huangfu Hong and Hu Zhen.Of course Dong Zhuo would not hand over the army to Huangfu Hong, so Hu Zhen was the only candidate.

Hu Zhen didn't want to go, he didn't have the confidence to beat Xu Rong.If Kansai loses again, his life will be over.But he didn't dare to disobey Dong Zhuo's military orders, so he went to Chang'an with a frowning face.Now he regrets so much that he can't wait to give himself a knife.Knowing that there was going to be a mutiny in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo threatened to break his own leg, but he refused to come.

Will the ministers' mutiny succeed?If Wang Yun and Huangfusong failed, he would die without a place to bury him.I have been brothers with Dong Zhuo for so many years, and Dong Zhuo's jealous temperament is still clear to me.

"You kill me and give my head to Mr. Dong." Hu Zhen gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Mr. Dong and I have fought side by side in Xijiang for more than 20 years. It is absolutely impossible for you to ask me to betray him."

Huangfu Song's face turned cold, with a murderous look.

Wang Yun's face was livid with anger, and he waved his hands and shouted: "Drag it, cut it off."

Hu Zhen knew that he was going to die, so he was full of courage. He pointed at Wang Yun's nose and cursed, "I joined the army at the age of 16, and I have fought fiercely on the battlefield for 33 years. What are you? What have you done for a big man? If you don’t have a prominent family background, you are nothing. You say Master Dong is a traitor, so what are you? At the beginning, Master Dong wanted to move the capital to Chang’an and abolish the five baht coin At that time, what did you say when you stood in the hall? Aren't you a traitor?"

"Kill, kill, kill..." Wang Yun was furious, gnashing his teeth.

The soldiers around were about to rush forward, when Huangfusong suddenly let out a "hum", not showing off his anger.The soldiers looked at Huangfusong in fear and hesitated.

Wang Yun pointed at Huangfusong and asked loudly, "Master Huangfu, do you want to resist the edict?"

Yang Biao, Chunyujia and many other ministers were stunned and lost for a moment.

"I'll say it again, the Northern Army is the Northern Army of the Great Han, not Dong Zhuo's Northern Army. The actions of the soldiers of the Northern Army are all in accordance with orders, and have nothing to do with the soldiers of the Northern Army. Whether the Northern Army is guilty or not, your lord Wang said Don't count, I don't count, only Your Majesty has the final say." Huangfusong looked at Wang Yun, and said in a deep voice, "Give Hu Zhen to me."

Wang Yun glared at Huangfusong, shook his head again and again, "Okay, okay..."

"His Majesty's imperial decree says that all Dong thieves belong to one party and all their wealth is confiscated, and the nine clans will be punished." Wang Yun stood in the lobby, holding up the imperial decree, pointing at a group of captured ministers and yelling sharply, "Drag out, kill..."

All the ministers arrested were descendants of Dong Zhuo's clan and close friends of former officials, and one of them was even an official in Jiuqing. Some of these people turned pale with fright, and some cursed loudly.According to the law of the Han Dynasty, if a senior official with a salary of two thousand shi violates the law, he must go to the court for trial and then get the emperor's imperial approval before he can be convicted. If it is a serious crime of beheading, the procedure will be even more complicated. Yun has gone crazy, he doesn't ask about the law or not, he will kill him first.

A minister shouted: "Wang Yun is also a traitor." But it was useless to shout, Wang Yun gave an order, and dozens of heads fell to the ground.

Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Chunyujia and other ministers also felt that it was wrong, and wanted to persuade Wang Yun, but Wang Yun stared and said, "If Dong Zhuo doesn't die, my head will be gone. Kill these traitors who will harm the country, and my king will Yun didn't die in vain."

"Dong Zhuo is not dead?" Taiwei Yang Biao turned pale with shock, "Can't you kill Dong Zhuo this time?"

Wang Yun looked up at the sky outside the lobby and remained silent.How long can Lu Bu's army last?

=

North Army Camp.

Although Lu Bu's army caught the Northern Army by surprise, it did not take any advantage.

The northern army had a geographical advantage, and when Lu Bu attacked, it was the time for the northern army's training in the morning. Under the command of the superior, the well-trained soldiers gathered calmly without fear.At the same time, Dong Yue did not hesitate to sacrifice a thousand soldiers in the front battalion in order to gain time.These 1000 people blocked the advance of Lu Bu's army with their flesh and blood.

Lu Bu's army ran for [-] miles in the rain in five days, and captured Meiwu at any cost on the way. It is exhausted and worn out, but Lu Bu only rested in Huaili for half a day in order to save time. He led the army from Huaili City to Chang'an and rushed to Chang'an again, and launched an attack on the Northern Army camp.

The [-] soldiers walked for eighty miles in the rainy and dark night, and they were already unable to hold on. If they attacked the Northern Army at this time, they would undoubtedly seek their own death.

Dong Yue's northern army waited for work at ease, and Dong Hui's army also rested overnight. The eight thousand soldiers were full of strength and fighting spirit. After the two sides came into contact for a while, Lu Bu's army failed.Dong Yue had experienced the battlefield for a long time, so of course he would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately ordered the army to outflank the two wings, break through in the middle, and divide the army that surrounded Lu Bu.

After a bloody fight, the northern army successfully divided Lu Bu's army, and the rest was to encircle and wipe out.

Due to the premature loss of 1000 soldiers, the Northern Army did not have much advantage in terms of strength. In addition, Dong Yue demanded a forced breakthrough in the middle, resulting in increased casualties. After the siege was completed, the two sides formed a deadlock. One can't be eaten in one bite, and the other can't die for a while.

Dong Yue was worried about Dong Zhuo's safety, and immediately ordered all the ministries to destroy the encirclement circle on the left at all costs, so as to free up troops to return to Chang'an City.

=

Lu Bu was drenched in blood, and staggered back, "Beat the drum, beat the drum... order all the ministries to defend themselves and fight on their own."

"My lord, Master Zhang Liao has been trapped in the northern army's central army, do you want to send reinforcements to fight in..."

"Leave him alone." Lu Bu waved his hand and shouted, "We have been divided by the northern army. The army has been divided into two, and we can no longer concentrate the main force to attack."

"grown ups……"

"Command all the ministries, swear to the death and bloody battle, swear to the death and bloody battle..."

=

The war horse was bruised and bruised, and finally couldn't hold it anymore. It hissed sadly a few times, raised its head with the last bit of strength, and fell to the ground with a loud crash.

Exhausted, Zhang Liao turned over from his horse and fell down.Several soldiers of the northern army held spears in their hands and chased after them with all their might.

Zhang Liao had a dead body resting on his head, and wanted to jump up, but he didn't even raise his head.

Enemy spears descend from the sky.

The horse galloped forward, and an iron knight pawn came on the horse, "Kill..."

The spear, together with the enemy pawn who rose into the air, was smashed into the sky high, and several enemies who were killed horizontally were also knocked away by the crazy horse.The knight's halberd flew across the air, and a head and half-severed arm fell far into the dust.

"My lord, go, go..."

Zhang Liao let out a loud roar, got up with difficulty, held his halberd with one hand, and dragged the knife with the other, with the last remaining strength, he ran crookedly towards his own formation.

=

Li Feng opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and his tall body was kicked into the air by the flying kick.

He wanted to rescue some soldiers who were surrounded by the northern army, but those soldiers were not rescued, but he was surrounded instead.

He looked at the blue sky and the dazzling sun in the sky, and felt that he was relieved, that he could finally die and leave this bloody battlefield.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar roar, and then a pair of big hands hugged him firmly.

"Are you still alive?" Lu Bu shouted loudly.

Li Feng smiled bitterly, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Okay, it's fine if you're not dead." Lu Bu put him on the ground, took down the saber in his hand, and patted his face with his hand, "As long as I live, I will definitely carry you out."

Before Li Feng fainted, he firmly remembered this sentence.

=

Dong Yue stationed his horse on the hillside, staring at the road in the direction of Chang'an City, not interested in the battlefield at all.

Why is there no news?The person who sent the letter disappeared without a trace, and there was no news from the city. Is it difficult to say that Chang'an City has been controlled by rebels?

Suddenly, he saw a big flag rushing out of the sky, and then leaping out of the sky.

Dong Yue was overjoyed and watched intently.

There were more and more cavalry, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

Dong Yue's face became more and more ugly. Suddenly, he raised his hands high, looked back at the battlefield, and shouted hoarsely, "Beat the drums, beating the drums... line up to meet the enemy..."
