The man in black fell down, and Li Jie fell back weakly. Dong Zhuo didn't care so much, endured the pain in his body, stepped forward, supported Li Jie, and stopped Li Jie from falling to the ground. It was dark outside the carriage.
The men in clothes fought fiercely with the reinforcements brought by Dong Yue. The reinforcements brought by Dong Yue were all the elites of Dong's army. Although the men in black were difficult to deal with, they suffered numerous casualties under the impact of the elite troops, and gradually showed their defeat.
Dong Zhuo saw that all the men in black in the carriage were wiped out, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Li Cui in a pool of blood, Dong Zhuo felt sorry in his heart. Li Cui was indeed a loyal general, but the Yitian Sword cuts iron like mud.
It's hard to survive.
Something unexpected happened suddenly. A dagger pierced Dong Zhuo's heart silently, and blood spurted out along the unique blood groove on the dagger. At this time, Dong Zhuo was in a state of nervousness and defenseless.
Dong Zhuo looked at the dagger on his heart in disbelief, and looked at Li Ji in his arms with confusion, his eyes widening.
Dong Zhuo really didn't expect that Li Ji, who was usually trusted, would assassinate him in turn, nor did he expect that Li Ji, who was lying in a pool of blood, would suddenly attack. Unprepared, the dagger pierced his heart.
Gradually disappeared, Dong Zhuo struggled feebly for a few times and fell to the ground. The great hero of the generation lay in a pool of blood. Before he died, his eyes were full of unwillingness and confusion.
Li Ji hid the dagger and lay gently in a pool of blood.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Dong Yue asked urgently: "Grand Master, I am a humble leader..."
Seeing the scene inside the carriage, Dong Yue's voice stopped abruptly, walked up to Dong Zhuo, and leaned over to take a look.
"Grand Master! Grand Master!" Dong Yue knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo and shouted loudly.
The general outside the tent heard the loud howl from inside the carriage and hurriedly entered the carriage.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Dong Zhuo was assassinated, which was the biggest blow to Dong Jun in the city. Dong Zhuo's death was witnessed by many generals. After a little spreading, the most explosive news in Luoyang City came to light.
After hearing the news, the generals and soldiers in Dong's army were shocked, cried bitterly, cursed, and did anything. Many soldiers even ran and howled in Luoyang City, as if they were crazy. When the people in the city heard the chaos on the streets, they
He didn't dare to go out to investigate. Dong Zhuo's explicit night ban was a bright and sharp sword, and many night walkers were killed.
Dong Zhuo was absurd and unrighteous in the eyes of all the officials, but he held a high status in the hearts of Dong Jun's soldiers. Dong Zhuo loved beautiful women and was greedy for money, so he paid great attention to his soldiers. When someone got an official position, the first thing he thought of was his trusted generals. He had just joined Dong Zhuo.
The generals of the Bingzhou Army also received more or less rewards. When such a person died suddenly, countless generals lost their backbone.
Some generals began to think about their future. The big tree of Dong Zhuo had fallen. The princes outside the pass would definitely not let them go after they captured Luoyang. Now the only person in the city who could be relied on was Jia Rong. There were many smart generals.
After hearing the news of Dong Zhuo's death, many generals immediately went to join the Xiliang army. In the dark night, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could be heard from the streets.
Li Ru received the news that Dong Zhuo had been assassinated. He stayed for a long time and said nonchalantly: "It's over, everything is over." He didn't feel the coolness on his feet without wearing shoes.
Dong Zhuo's body has been placed in front of him. The most powerful grand master in the Han Dynasty has fallen asleep. Li Ru felt his mind went blank and sat down next to Dong Zhuo's body. He remembered that the master and servant were in Liangzhou in Longxi in the past.
What a scenery, Li Ru's eyes gradually blurred.
Suddenly, Li Ru's eyes became fierce, and he said in a low voice: "Tell me the story of the assassination of my lord." As a grand master, Dong Zhuo was always escorted by elite military personnel when traveling, and Luo
Dong Jun is everywhere in Yangcheng. If there is any slight movement, all troops can rush to the rescue. Moreover, Dong Zhuo's whereabouts are an absolute secret among Dong Jun. Just like this time, Dong Zhuo came out of the palace in the middle of the night without any warning. The assassin can do this seamlessly.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Li Ru's position in Dong's army was the first person under Dong Zhuo. Those who initially followed Dong Zhuo had great prestige in the army. No general in the army dared to disobey his words.
Dong Yue paid homage: "General Li Ji was seriously injured while protecting the lord, and is now recovering from his injuries."
"When I entered the carriage, my lord had already fallen to the ground. At the same time, the corpses of our soldiers and men in black were lying in the carriage. The concubines and maids that my lord brought out from the palace also died unexpectedly. The Heavenly Sword that my lord was wearing at that time was lying on the ground.
In the hands of the man in black." Dong Yue continued: "A concubine brought out by the lord from the palace attempted to assassinate her, but was killed by the lord."
"Send an order for General Li to come to the big tent to discuss matters and bring over all the people involved with the concubine who intends to assassinate the lord." Li Ru's chest was burning with anger. This was definitely a long-planned assassination.
No matter who is behind the scenes, Li Ru will avenge this blood feud. Even if it is the man in the palace, Li Ru will not hesitate to knock him off the throne.
There were too many accidents in Dong Zhuo's assassination. Why did the army in the city delay in going to the rescue? Why was Li Ji able to survive? There was also the shocking wound stabbed in Dong Zhuo's heart. Li Ru had great confidence in Dong Zhuo's skills.
Three or five people like him can't even get close.
After a cup of tea, Li Jiu walked in with the support of several soldiers, took a look at the scene, found a seat and sat down with difficulty, then cupped his hands and said: "I'm not feeling well, so I can't salute. I'll forgive you for being disrespectful."
Military Advisor Haihan." The generals who could come to Dong's army were basically Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, and the most troubled ones in the army were the Northern and Southern Army and the Bingzhou Army.
Li Ru nodded, staring closely at Li Cui's eyes and said: "According to General Dong, General Li was the only one who was by his side when my lord died. Is it true?"
Li urged: "That's true. At that time, I was humble and sacrificed my life to save my lord. However, there were so many people in black and the carriage was so cramped that the thieves succeeded in their assassination."
"There is a palace maid who was not killed by a thief. Why is your statement different from hers?" Li Ru sneered.
Li Jiu was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface and said with a wry smile: "What regrets does Li Jiu die? If I can exchange for my master's life, I will go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire without hesitation. It's a pity that I didn't catch the remnants of the Yuan family. Military Advisor
But if you’re told, feel free to speak up.”
Li Ru comforted him and said: "General Li does not need to blame himself. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. It is God's will that my lord failed to escape this disaster."
The generals in the tent all changed their minds after hearing this. Li Ru was clearly testing Li Cui by doing this. If Dong Zhuo's death was related to Li Cui, then Li Cui would definitely reveal his flaws, and he would be greeted with endless revenge.
Li Ru's smart approach made the military generals in awe, and at the same time they began to plan for the future.
Li Jie said in a hoarse voice: "Military advisor, at this critical moment, you should step forward to calm the morale of the army."
Li Ru nodded and said: "What General Li said is absolutely true. Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and Cao Xing, you three will each lead a thousand troops to patrol the army. If you encounter soldiers or generals who cause trouble, no matter who they are, they will be killed!"
"No!" the three of them clasped their fists. After hearing the news, they, who had won Dong Zhuo's trust, besides sighing, were thinking about how to save their lives in the chaotic situation, whether to seek refuge with the princes outside the pass or within the city.
No matter which choice the Xiliang Army makes, it is much better than sitting back and waiting to die.
"Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, you two will patrol the city with a thousand men each. If you encounter any common people or aristocratic families who make trouble, they will be killed without any reporting."
"No!" the two said, clasping fists.
"Niu Fu, Dong Yue, your two generals, big and small, gather together to prevent a mutiny."
"Li Su, you lead the soldiers to patrol the army. If you find anyone talking nonsense, you will be killed without mercy!"
After a series of orders were conveyed, Li Ru let out a long sigh. These were just temporary remedial measures and could only temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. After all, no one in the army could replace Dong Zhuo's position.
These men in black claim to be avenging the Yuan family, but Li Ru does not think so. It is impossible for a Yuan family to have so many sophisticated weapons and well-trained soldiers. Judging from a weapon seized at the scene, such a weapon even
It can only be used by generals in the army. More importantly, these soldiers are equipped with weapons such as crossbows. There is definitely an unobserved force lurking in Luoyang City.
Li Ru thought more than once that it might be the Xiliang Army. They could gather so many soldiers in the city at once. The Xiliang Army had enough strength to do it. However, Li Ru finally rejected his speculation and the princes came to Luo.
Under Yangcheng, Jia Rong would not do such a reckless thing to assassinate Dong Zhuo at this time. Dong's army and Xiliang's army would both benefit from joining together, but both would be defeated if they separated.
However, Dong Zhuo's death was inextricably linked to the aristocratic families in the city. Dong Zhuo's death had the greatest impact on the middle and high-level generals of Dong's army, such as Li Ru, who was not only Dong's military adviser but also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. Luoyang City was in chaos, and the princes entered the city.
After that, I will definitely not let myself go.
"Prepare the car and go to the palace!" Li Ru sneered.
Even if Jia Rong becomes the biggest winner, Li Ru will catch Dong Zhuo's murderer at all costs. A man who knows his best will die. Maybe Li Ru does not have the will to die, but he has the will to avenge Dong Zhuo.
"Su Wen said that regardless of one's background, one can occupy a position in the Xiliang army as long as he has the ability. What decision do you think the military advisor will make in the end, whether to join the Xiliang army or lead the army back to Longxi alone and continue to occupy the land and become the king?
"Hao Meng whispered.
Zhang Liao frowned when he heard this, thinking of joining the Bingzhou Army together, and said slowly: "The Grand Master and we have the kindness of knowing each other, so we must not talk nonsense anymore. The military advisor will handle the matter properly."
Hao Meng and Cao Xing Nuonuo said yes, but they disagreed in their hearts. They looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking, and nodded incomprehensibly.
"My lord, Dong Zhuo was assassinated." Jia Xu bowed and bowed, his expression unchanged, as if he was talking about something unrelated.
