There are few pedestrians on the road leading directly to Luoyang. Luoyang was the capital of the Han Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are many people entering and leaving every day.

But at this moment, there are chaos and soldiers fighting in Luoyang City, and of course there are few people on this road.

"Dadadada"

Amid the sound of horse hooves, a cavalry with about five thousand people and two horses was surrounded by a flag with a "Zhang" character, heading eastward.

The few pedestrians along the way couldn't help but avoid this elite cavalry and then talked about it.

"This may be the troops of the Qiang Hujian, the governor of the Lueyang County, and the soldiers of the Han Shouhou."

"How do you know?"

"Dong Zhuo's men have arrived, and there are no ones in the west. Only him."

"Hey, with this person helping him, Dong Zhuo is like a tiger with wings."

Zhang Xiu naturally didn't know the voices of people around the Tao. His eyes were sharp, and he controlled his horse forward, with only Luoyang City in his eyes.

"General, it's only about five miles away from Luoyang City." Zhang Xiu had never been to Luoyang, but he had a guide in his army and the guide reported.

"Go to the North City Gate by detour and enter by the North City Gate." Zhang Xiu already knew that Dong Zhuo was entrenched in the north of the city, so he naturally would not enter the city from the West Gate.

"promise."

After the knights traveled day and night, they were already trapped and exhausted, and their butts were like burning. But seeing Luoyang City was right in front of them, they couldn't help but feel excited and agreed with a loud promise.

"But Han Shouhou is ahead?" At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came from the front, and then a loud shout with a full breath came.

Zhang Xiu looked up and saw more than ten riders galloping around who seemed to be a big shot.

"Stop." Zhang Xiu shouted, then stopped the horse. Five or six thousand elite riders behind him seemed to be alone, from rapid to stillness, it only took a few breaths.

This big man is naturally Bao Hong, the captain of the military. His riding skills are also great, so he stopped the horse, but the more than ten cavalry behind him were a little panicked and almost collided.

Bao Hong turned his head and looked at his accompanying cavalry, then looked at the five thousand elite cavalry in front of him. He couldn't help but be shocked.

"Zhang Xiu is known as a hero and good at using troops, but he didn't expect that the military discipline is so strict. I'm afraid that such cavalry is not under Ma Teng and Han Sui's command, right?"

Bao Hong was even more afraid of Zhang Xiu, but his face was not revealed. Instead, he brought two cavalrymen with jewelry and bowed and said, "Bao Hong, the captain of the lower army, has seen Han Shouhou."

"It turned out to be Captain Bao." Zhang Xiu was also quite polite and bowed back. After putting down his hand, Zhang Xiu asked, "I am heading towards Luoyang, why did the Captain stop me?"

"I'm coming for this." Bao Hong bowed his hands and said sincerely: "Emperor Ling passed away, and the court later became in chaos, which was a misfortune of the Han Dynasty. At present, in Luoyang, Gong Dong stationed his army in the imperial palace to fight for power with us. The general led his troops to Luoyang and whoever he helped him win. The safety of the world is all in the general, so please think twice."

Speaking of this, Bao Hong bowed and bowed again, then looked up at the two cavalrymen, and the two cavalrymen immediately turned over and dismounted.

Dian Wei stroked the great sword around his waist and was ready to protect Zhang Xiu at any time.

Of course, these two cavalrymen did not do anything extra. They took the two cowhide bags behind the horse opened in front of Zhang Xiu.

But it was valuable items such as agate, jade, pearls, and women's hairpin. After Zhang Xiu took a look, he guessed that some things might have been pulled directly from the noble lady's head.

"The general is brave. The ministers in the court have always respected the general. These are some meeting gifts. If the general can help Yuan Benchu, Dong Zhuo will definitely fail. The ministers in the court will definitely not forget the general's merits and be granted official titles." Bao Hong's tone and attitude was full of temptation.

"The chaos in Kyoto will be recorded in history in the future. The general will quell the situation with his own strength. Isn't it beautiful to leave a good reputation in history books?"

"Hahahahaha." Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, and his laughter was very strong. Bao Hong couldn't help but frown at Zhang Xiu's intentions.

"Why did the general laugh?"

"The wealth is in front, the high-ranking officials are in the back, and even if I die, I will arrange it in history. It is very clear. But." Zhang Xiu smiled first, and then shouted loudly: "How can my uncle and nephew be kind to Mr. Dong? Besides, you worms in the court have a simple meal. They have caused chaos in the world and the people are living in poverty. What else can you talk about stabilizing the country and stabilizing the Liu family? I think the only one who can stabilize the country is Dong."

Bao Hong was shocked when he heard this. The two cavalrymen holding the jewelry were shaken and loosened their cowhide pockets. The jewelry suddenly scattered all over the ground.

Without waiting for Bao Hong to react, Zhang Xiu pulled out the big sword at his waist, stabbed Bao Hong's left chest with one sword, shattering his heart. After pulling out the big sword, Zhang Xiu's body side avoided the squirting blood and sneered: "How can wealth touch my heart?"

"Get out!" Then, Zhang Xiu raised his head and shouted angrily at the more than ten cavalry that came with Bao Hong, with his tiger eyes wide open.

"Dadadada!!!" Even the more than ten riders dared not let go, and ran away with their heads. Several Zhang Xiu's personal soldiers turned over and dismounted, picked up the jewelry and stuffed it back into the cowhide bag, cut off Bao Hong's head and presented it to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu has never liked the smelly head, but this time he did not refuse.

This is a good thing to show off his merits. He deliberately let the dozen or so cavalrymen go away and used their mouths to spread the matter.

However, Zhang Xiu's calculation was considered unnecessary. Soon after, he heard a sound of horse hooves. When he looked up, he saw dozens of Liangzhou cavalry coming surrounded by Li Ru with wide sleeves.

"Mr. Li." Zhang Xiu showed joy, turned over and got off the horse and bowed to salute. But when he lowered his head, a deep look flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes.

He slightly noticed Dong Zhuo's suspicion in his heart, but this is also normal. Dong Zhuo has a strange and complicated personality, and sometimes he is hysterical.

Zhang Xiu suspected that Dong Zhuo might even have mental illness. Just like the last time, Dong Zhuo was jealous of him killing Cheng Yi, and Li Jue made many military achievements and complained a lot. He sent Jia Xu to send a lot of money to Dong Zhuo, which was finally eliminated.

In history, Dong Zhuo treated Lu Bu the same way. Although he attracted Lu Bu to protect himself, he always suspected Lu Bu and even scolded Lu Bu.

Can Lu Bu not oppose Dong Zhuo?

He didn't have a deep conversation with Bao Hong just now, and stabbed Bao Hong to death with one sword because he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would be suspicious.

"Da Lang." Li Ru was happy when he saw Zhang Xiu, and then the corpse on the ground. Bao Hong's head was both happy and strange.

Seeing that Li Ru noticed Bao Hong's head, Zhang Xiu took the initiative to explain: "Sir. This man is apart from me and Gong Dong, and I promised that my high-ranking official would betray Gong Dong and would be killed by me with one sword."

Li Ru, or most of the Dong Zhuo family's civil and military personnel, think that Zhang Xiu is very loyal.

When Zhang Xiu was fighting against each other in the battle, he was rampant in Liangzhou. How could Zhang Xiu show his disloyalty? Only people like Dong Zhuo, who have a complicated personality, would frequently arouse suspicion after Zhang Xiu set up his own business.

But even so, when Li Ru saw Bao Hong's head and met Zhang Xiu again, his righteous face and words couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

"A true loyal and righteous man."

"I have always known Dalang's loyalty and righteousness. Gong Dong also knows that Gong Dong sent me here to welcome Dalang into the city."

Li Ru didn't say that Dong Zhuo was suspicious and sent him to inquire. He just smeared honey on his lips and picked up good words to say it.

"Thank you, Mr. Dong," Zhang Xiu showed joy and said thanking.

Zhang Xiu killed Bao Hong with one sword, and things became simple. Li Ru, surrounded by five thousand elite cavalry, took Zhang Xiu into the north of Luoyang City and stopped near the palace. Then, Li Ru only brought Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei into the palace together.

In Dian Wei's hand, he was carrying Bao Hong's head in cowhide bags.

When he arrived at the side hall, Dian Wei stayed outside. Zhang Xiu lifted the head and entered the side hall with Li Ru.

There are two teams of armored soldiers in iron armor in the side hall, eyeing them covetously.

"Dong Gong."

Without any hesitation, Zhang Xiu bowed to Dong Zhuo on the head seat first.

"Hahahaha. Dalang, I really look forward to you. With Dalang's help, why should I worry about the big thing happening?" Dong Zhuo said with a laugh as if he had never doubted it.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo noticed the cowhide bag in Zhang Xiu's hand. Looking at the blood and shape, Dong Zhuo made some guesses and asked, "Whose head is this?"

"I will go to the army captain Bao Hong." Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, summoned an armored soldier, handed the head to the armored soldier, and then handed it over to Dong Zhuo.

Seeing the armored soldiers lined up in the side hall, Zhang Xiu knew that Dong Zhuo was still suspicious of him and did not dare to let him get close.

Dong Zhuo opened the cowhide bag and saw the head of Bao Hong, the military captain. He couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and said, "Dalang is the real sharp blade. This guy is connected with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and he is fighting for power in Luoyang. Dalang kills this person and my chances of victory will increase greatly."

"I was just about to explain this to Mr. Dong." Zhang Xiu's heart moved and bowed his hands to bow.

"What do you mean?" Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and Li Ru's face also changed.

"From my view, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Ding Yuan and others are just people who sell their first bids. This time I came urgently, but I brought five thousand elite cavalry. Please ask Mr. Dong to give me 10,000 infantry soldiers and cooperate with me. When I kill Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, I take the head to see Mr. Dong."

Zhang Xiu looked heroic and said with a thrilling look.

This time he really had a murderous intent. The situation is like this now, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't run away. It would be better to take the opportunity to kill them to prevent future troubles.

If there was no Yuan Shao in the world, wouldn’t it be easy to pacify Cao Cao?

"This!!!" Dong Zhuo hesitated. He did not doubt Zhang Xiu for the time being. After all, Bao Hong's head was right in front of him.

But Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a lot of troops, can Zhang Xiu win?

"Lord. Dalang said very much. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other eight armies in Xiyuan were recruited recently, and the mob was not worth worrying. Only Ding Yuan outside the city could be worried. Before, the lord occupied the palace and held the emperor hostage. They dared not move. Now Dalang is here. They must be frightened and may unite to act together. It is better to take action first and let Dalang defeat Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The lord is on guard at the north gate to prevent Ding Yuan from entering the city."
