381. Chapter Three Hundred Eighty Three: The Death of Dong Zhuo One
Guanzhong was originally the granary of the world, but in the fourth year of Chuping, Guanzhong was a land of thousands of miles, and the ground was full of hungry people. Due to the severe drought in Guanzhong this year, there was no harvest. In addition, this year, the Malayan and Korean coalition forces and Dong Zhuo of Xiliang formed a continuous battle.
Fighting and military disasters caused the fields to be destroyed. The originally prosperous Xijing Chang'an was like the yellow flowers of yesterday. It was no longer prosperous, and the entire Xijing city was full of depression.
This former imperial capital continued the prosperity of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. But at this time, in this prosperous city, hundreds of thousands of people endured hunger and poverty, and were driven slowly towards the city by Xiliang soldiers.
Go, their faces are full of the haze of war, the helplessness and despair of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the fear of imminent disaster, the huge city of Chang'an has completely lost its former wealth and prosperity, shops
The doors of restaurants, teahouses and singing houses have been locked, and the entire street is full of Xiliang soldiers and some people who are driven by Xiliang soldiers to build fortifications.
Chang'an City has been surrounded by the Maha-Korean coalition forces, and Dong Zhuo has ordered to mobilize the garrisons from Anding and Beidi. However, there are only 100,000 troops stationed in Chang'an City, which cannot fight to the death with the Maha-Korean coalition forces. Dong Zhuo has already
Xiwu moved to the palace in Chang'an. Now that the army was approaching, Dong Zhuo had no intention of continuing to drink and have fun. Instead, he summoned all the civil and military officers of the Xiliang Army to discuss military affairs in the Jiade Palace.
Today, Dong Zhuo is a bit fatter than before, his whole body is like a ball, with two black bean-like eyes hanging on his plump cheeks, and his huge belly makes his clothes feel like they are tied to his body, although Dong Zhuo no longer has any
Although he was majestic in the past, sitting on the couch still made the civil and military officials of the Xiliang Army feel scared.
"You all tell me, is there any good strategy for defeating the enemy when Ma Teng and Han Sui are besieging me in Xijing?" Dong Zhuo glanced at the crowd and asked in a deep voice. When everyone was asked, they did not dare to speak. Dong Zhuo's face changed and he pointed at Li Suda.
"Li Su, tell me!" Li Su is now a member of the Tiger Army and has become Dong Zhuo's personal guard general. When he saw Dong Zhuo asking questions, he stood up, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Return to the Prime Minister, since the battle of Tianshui
After that, our army's strength was greatly reduced. Now we have only 100,000 troops in Xijing, which is far less than the 300,000 troops of the Maharaja-Korean coalition. Now the city of Xijing is tall and has a lot of food and grass. Our army should be on the defensive and waiting for the attack when the Maharaja-Korean army slacks off.
, cooperate with the army of Beidi and An Ding inside and outside, and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
As soon as Li Su finished speaking, Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up. He glanced at Li Su approvingly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold snort. Dong Zhuo's face changed. He looked at the man and saw that it was him who he used to be.
His confidant Li Ru, he said displeasedly: "Li Ru, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Ever since Dong Heng killed the Emperor and caused Empress Dowager He to commit suicide, Li Ru had cracks in their relationship because Dong Zhuo protected Dong Heng. Li Ru no longer participated in political affairs, and Dong Zhuo didn't bother to discuss anything with him. Li Ru
Then it faded away from Dong Zhuo's sight, but now that the Xiliang soldiers were in trouble, Dong Zhuo summoned Li Ru to discuss military affairs. Unexpectedly, Li Ru remained silent after he came, but when Li Su came up with a countermeasure, he
This kind of performance made Dong Zhuo extremely dissatisfied.
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied, so he stood up, just raised his hands and said: "Prime Minister, I don't have any strategies to defeat the enemy, but I still have some confidence that my savior is in danger!" Dong Zhuo heard this!
He was stunned. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he still said doubtfully: "Tell me about it!" Li Ru then said loudly: "Kill one person and save a group of people!"
Li Ru's words made Dong Zhuo full of doubts and puzzled all the civil and military officials. Li Su looked back at Li Ru and saw that Li Ru's face was filled with anger. He was shocked and knew that Li Ru's words today must be true.
He was so shocked that he stood aside, not daring to say anything.
Li Ru said loudly: "To kill a person is to kill Dong Heng, the chief culprit of the disaster to the Prime Minister, so that the ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty will no longer blame the Prime Minister, but help the Prime Minister to tide over the difficulties, and save a group of people, the Prime Minister will take out the money from Xiwu."
The grains transported will be distributed to the people of Xijing. In this way, the people of Xijing will be grateful for the lord's kindness and will spontaneously go to the city to help the Prime Minister resist the Ma-Korean coalition!" As soon as Li Ru's words came out, the entire Jiade Palace became extremely quiet.
, Dong Heng is no longer in the Jiade Palace, but Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu is in the Jiade Palace, but because of the current chaos caused by the defeat of Tianshui, he does not dare to say anything, for fear that Dong Zhuo will think of the past and implicate him!
A trace of killing intent flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He pointed at Li Ru and said, "Is this the idea you gave me?" Li Ru nodded and said, "Exactly!"
After saying that, Dong Zhuo suddenly took a jade seal from the imperial case, threw it over, and hit Li Ru on the head. Blood splashed everywhere. Li Ru looked calm and let the blood flow down his face.
Flowed down.
Dong Zhuo struggled to stand up, and the Xiliang guards next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and finally stood up. He pushed the two Xiliang guards and said, "Get out of the way!" The two guards were frightened.
He immediately stood aside and did not dare to move. His plump body moved forward slowly. With every step he took, Dong Zhuo could see the sweat on his face. He walked up to Li Ru and shouted: "I am not good to you."
Bo, I don’t mind that you were born in a lowly position. I gave you an official position and gave you money, but is this how you repay me? You want me to kill my nephew with my own hands, and you want me to give the food of my Xiliang army to those untouchables.
What are your intentions?"
Li Ru did not speak, but quietly watched Dong Zhuo roar. He was already desperate. Even now, Dong Zhuo has not repented and is still digging his own grave. He had nothing to say. Dong Zhuo was tired of scolding, so he faced the crowd outside.
The sergeant said: "Come on, capture Li Ru for me and put him in the prison of Tingwei Mansion! Wait until I defeat Ma Han's army, and then we will conduct military exercises!" The Xiliang army outside the door came in, and Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo.
He bowed his hands and strode out of the hall, followed by several Xiliang soldiers.
Seeing Li Ru's high-spirited steps, Dong Zhuo felt annoyed for a while. Just as he was about to shoo away the crowd, he saw his nephew Dong Heng striding towards the Jiade Hall, followed by an official in his sixties, who was Tai Shi.
Ling Dong Zhi and Dong Heng already knew what happened in the main hall just now, and they were full of murderous intentions towards Li Ru. However, he knew that since Dong Zhuo had to wait until the Ma-Korean coalition forces were defeated before getting rid of Li Ru, even if he wanted to kill Li Ru again,
Confucianism, he would not disobey Dong Zhuo's orders.
"The last general Dong Heng met the prime minister!" "The humble Taishi ordered Dong Zhi met the prime minister!"
