In the quiet night, the lights in the Hehuan Hall were brightly lit. Outside the hall door was a group of warriors wearing iron armor and holding halberds. They stood upright at the door of the hall, looking so mighty.
"ah--"
A heartbreaking scream from a woman came out from the Hehuan Hall, followed by a man's hoarse roar of triumph, and then a series of moans that couldn't tell whether it was pain or pleasure came out.
When the tiger soldiers outside the palace gate heard these sounds, everyone felt extremely frightened in their hearts. For a long time, they had been guarding the entrance of the hall and watched many women being carried in, but in the morning, they were carried out
It was indeed a corpse. Even though they were used to seeing this kind of scene, they couldn't help but feel inexplicable fear for the person they wanted to protect.
After a long while, there was no movement in the Hehuan Hall, and everything returned to the tranquility of the night.
The door of Hehuan Hall was ajar, and there were only two people in the huge hall, a man and a woman, both naked. The man, who looked about forty-five or six years old, was sitting on the golden emperor's throne, limply
Leaning there, there was sweat on his forehead and body, and the thing between his legs that was raised with a trace of blood was slowly weakening.
In the center of the hall, a long-haired beauty was naked, with her limbs spread out in a large shape. Her ankles and wrists were tied with ropes and tied to the dragon pillars in the hall. Her two breasts were bitten off, leaving a bloody mess.
A mixture of blood and white viscous liquid was dripping from his chest and between his legs. It was dripping to the ground drop by drop, making a slight pattering sound in the silent hall.
The woman tilted her head back, her face was covered with scars, her eyes were filled with fear, and there were finger bruises on her neck. It could be seen from the broken throat bone that the woman was strangled to death.
.
The man was still sitting on the emperor's throne, breathing heavily and staring at his masterpiece tonight, with a happy smile on his face. After a while, he picked up one of his clothes from the ground.
, casually wrapped it around his waist, and shouted outside the palace: "Carry the person out!"
The Huben warriors standing outside the hall hurriedly pushed the door open. As soon as they entered the palace, they knelt down on the ground for the man and said "Promise" before they dared to get up and clean up everything in the hall. These Huben warriors were very skilled.
Quickly, he wrapped the woman's body in a piece of silk and carried it out directly. The remaining people carried buckets to wash the floor in the hall. After a while, the originally filthy hall became magnificent again.
At this time, a man in official uniform walked in hurriedly from outside the hall. His face was a little dark and gloomy, and his mustache was slightly upturned. As soon as he entered the hall, he walked straight
Arriving in front of the emperor's throne where the man was sitting, he bowed slightly and immediately called out: "Master, there is news from Guandong. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have gathered many princes to form an alliance in Chenliu. The total strength is as many as 400,000, and they are divided into three groups.
Along the way, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, and Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, merged into one to form the North Route Army.
Troops were stationed in Yingchuan; the other routes were unified into the Central Route Army, which set out from Chenliu. At this time, there was no movement on the North and South Routes. Only the Central Route Army, with Changsha Prefect Sun Jian as the vanguard, had left Chenliu and was heading towards Xingyang.
.”
The man sitting on the emperor's throne was none other than Dong Zhuo, who had already controlled the entire situation in Luoyang. As soon as Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he immediately pulled the kidnapped Huangfu Song from his high position and tore off the human skin he was wearing.
In order to make the Qiang and Hu whom he gathered wholeheartedly follow him, he ordered his soldiers to plunder and plunder around Luoyang. He also often set up wine pools and meat forests in the palace. He often entertained hundreds of Chinese, civil and military officials, and forced them to drink wine at banquets.
Drinking wine.
In addition, he often stayed in the palace and molested the harem. Concubines, princesses, and palace maids who he liked would all be called to the Hehuan Palace to become a tool for him to vent his sexual desires.
He pursues excitement and does not hesitate to abuse the woman he wants. Every time when his desire reaches the limit, he will be unable to restrain himself and kill the woman he is toying with. Today is no exception. The one who was just carried away,
She is Princess Wannian, the daughter of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. All the officials in the court were in danger and dared not speak out.
At this time, Dong Zhuo was slightly fatter than before. He touched his big belly with both hands, glanced at the mustache beside him, and said slowly: "What heroes of Guandong? Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Ding Yuan
I didn't take them seriously at all. Although there were many soldiers and horses, they were just a mob. As long as I, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, came out, even if there were millions of them, I wouldn't be afraid.
But... Sun Jian is quite a figure, how many troops does he bring?"
That mustache was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, whose surname was Li Mingru. Dong Zhuo was able to enter Beijing smoothly, and he contributed a lot behind the scenes. When Dong Zhuo asked, he immediately said: "It's just five thousand people."
Dong Zhuo said: "Sun Jian is a ferocious tiger. I witnessed his bravery with my own eyes during the battle at Jicheng. If I can subdue him and use him for my use, I will definitely give those rabble-rousers in Guandong a powerful blow. Is there anything you can do?"
Li Ru thought for a while, then smiled sinisterly and said: "I heard that Sun Jian has a name, Sun Ce. He is only eleven or twelve years old now, but he is extremely powerful. Doesn't the grand master still have a daughter under his knees? What if he can have children with Sun Jian?
If the in-laws are promised high-ranking officials, generous salaries, titles of marquises, and prime ministerships, wouldn't Sun Jian become the Grand Master's right-hand man?"
"Well, this matter is very important. Where is Sun Jian now?"
"It's less than fifty miles away from Sishui Pass."
"Li Ru, go to Sun Jian's barracks in person and make sure this matter is done."
"promise!"
"Also, is there any Gao Fei in the Kwantung Allied Forces?"
Li Ru hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Master, Gao Fei is now a member of the coalition army and is in the coalition camp."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with fierceness, he slapped the dragon chair hard, and shouted to Li Ru: "Write a letter to Gao Fei quickly in my name and ask him to take all the soldiers with him."
Ma came to seek refuge, otherwise, he and his Feiyu Army clan would not be able to survive! Compared with Sun Jian, Gao Fei is both wise and brave, and he is the person I am really worried about. If he appears in the coalition camp, then
It is very detrimental to our army. Gao Fei was born in Liangzhou and knows the fighting methods of the Qiang and Hu very well. If he is here, it will be a great threat to our army."
Li Ru said "Promise", bowed and asked, "Do you have any other instructions from the Grand Master?"
Dong Zhuo said: "Let Zhang Ji and Fan Chou lead 50,000 troops to garrison Chenggao to prevent the Northern Route Army's Bingzhou troops. You take Li Jue, Guo Si and 50,000 troops to arrive at Sishui Pass first to reinforce Xu Rong.
Hu Zhen. When Ma Teng and Han Sui arrive from Chang'an with troops and horses, I will personally lead the army to reinforce you."
Li Rudao: "Grand Master, won't you send troops to support Xuanyuan Pass to resist the South Route Army?"
Dong Zhuo chuckled and said: "Liu Biao has no ambitions and is a self-defended thief. Niu Fu is enough to garrison at Xuanyuan Pass, so he will definitely not advance. Okay, you go quickly and resolve the matters of Sun Jian and Gao Fei first, and the rest
Let’s talk about it later.”
Li Ru said "Nuo" and turned around to leave. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Grand Master, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Route Army in Bingzhou are all brave men. Grand Master should pay more attention to them."
"There is nothing to worry about like Ding Jianyang. Even though his soldiers and horses in Bingzhou are very brave, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are not vegetarians. With them, I can sit back and relax."
Li Ru wanted to say something more, but when he saw Dong Zhuo's face showing a look of displeasure, he immediately made a promise, turned around and walked out of the hall quickly. He only felt two cold eyes on his back.
He was very uncomfortable. When he walked out of the Hehuan Hall, he relaxed and let out a long breath. He said slowly in his heart: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. When I follow a person like Dong Zhuo, I must be careful in everything.
I hope that this time I can disintegrate the Kwantung Allied Forces. In this way, I will soon become the founding hero of the country. Dong Zhuo has no son. After a hundred years, won’t the throne still belong to me?”
With his own little calculation, Li Ru left the palace, ordered his troops and horses, and quickly headed towards Sishui Pass with Li Jue, Guo Si and an infantry of 50,000 horses.
At the same time, in Chenliu, more than 200,000 coalition troops had already set off one after another the day after Sun Jian left. Now there are only less than 100,000 left in Chenliu city.
In Chen Liu's mansion, Yuan Shao, Liu Yu, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Han Fu, Gao Fei and Zhang Miao gathered together.
Cao Cao was the first to say: "Although our army is divided into three routes, the South Route Army and the North Route Army are relatively weak. Dong's thieves are powerful, and the Xiliang soldiers are the bravest in the world. Our army has many infantry, and Dong's thieves have many cavalry. Although the coalition forces
There are 400,000 people, but it is still unknown whether they can defeat the Dong thieves in one fell swoop. Although Liu Biao and Kong Zhi have stationed troops in Yingchuan, they have Niu Fu guarding Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and Yique Pass in front of them, and they are still blocked by the Yishui River.
It is very difficult to break through the three passes and one water to enter Luoyang. Therefore, I would like to ask Yuan Gongguan to lead his troops to Nanyang and attack Wuguan. After breaking through Wuguan, they can enter Sanfu in one fell swoop, disrupt the rear of Dong's thieves, and then defend Tongguan and cut off Dong's thieves.
The thief's way back west. I don't know what the road is like."
Yuan Shu stroked his mustache, a treacherous smile appeared on his fair face, and asked: "Mengde's arrangement is indeed good, but I would like to ask Mengde, I went to Sanfu to fight, and I only have 20,000 troops under my command. If I hold Tongguan
If it is true, it will indeed block Dong's thief's return to the west, but it will also put me in a situation where Dong's soldiers and horses are attacking from both sides. Who will supply the food and grass? Aren't you going to put me in danger? I want you to go,
