"What is the current situation in Chang'an? Have those riots been extinguished, and have the remnants of the traitors been eliminated."
"Back to Zishi, the people of Chang'an all applauded our move to kill the rebels. Even if Ning stubbornly rebelled occasionally, generals Liu Gui, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei also supported the militia organized by the people spontaneously.
With their cooperation, they will be wiped out. It can be said that there are no more Dong thieves in Chang'an City who rebel against the party. And Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals are leading troops to various passes to ensure the safety of the three auxiliary areas."
"Where is the rebel Niu Fu? He is stationed in Xi County with more than ten thousand elite troops. He is a serious concern for us. Once he joins forces with Li Jue and other rebels in the south, we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand the attack of the army for the time being.
"
"So that I can rest assured, the traitor Niu Fu has been entrusted here. The army of Xi County has been recruited by Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals. Except for a few die-hard Dong thieves who caused a little stir, the rest of the thieves army
There’s nothing to fear anymore.”
"How come it's so fast? There could be some fraud involved. These are extraordinary times, so you have to be careful."
"Master, you can rest assured that this matter will never happen again. It is said that Niu Fu is a mediocre person. When Thief Dong was in power, he could still rely on Thief Dong's power to show off his power, but once Thief Dong died, he would be in panic all day long.
After packing up the gold and jewelry, I wanted to run away south and join the other rebels.
Rendezvous. Unexpectedly, the righteous Hu Chi'er, although he was favored by the traitor Niu Fu on weekdays, but at the critical moment, he knew the righteousness and showed loyalty and filial piety. When Niu Fu was not paying attention, he beheaded the traitor and hung it on the camp gate. Only in this way did he let him go.
We almost defeated the 10,000-strong army without spending a single soldier."
"Oh? Although this righteous man is not from the Central Plains, he still knows his loyalty to His Majesty. It's rare, it's really rare. But I don't know what position this righteous man holds now? Do we need to give some rewards? After all, he was a Dong thief before.
His subordinates."
"It's a pity to say that although this righteous man made an act in line with the righteousness, he was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by those Dong thieves who did not understand the righteousness and rebelled against the party. His subordinates and generals did not investigate and were harmed by those traitors.
There is no complete corpse in death.”
"Really? That's such a pity."
"Yes, it is indeed such a pity."
Then, Hu Chi, who showed up in a hurry to receive the lunch box, was forgotten by the two of them. He was not an important person anyway.
"By the way. What are the people on the streets of Chang'an doing now?"
Wang Yun seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at the sky outside the window, as if his eyes could penetrate all obstacles.
"Haha, Master, you really should go and see it. It's so lively. And it's very satisfying!"
"Oh? Seeing Jun Rong smile so freely. That must be a wonderful thing."
"Haha~ We threw Thief Dong's body into the street and announced his crime. Guess what, not only did the people of Chang'an beat gongs and drums, but they also set fire to bamboo poles. This was to disperse the traitor from Chang'an.
The resentful spirit above
The most interesting thing is that someone suggested that Thief Dong light a sky lantern. It was so satisfying to end up like this. Did he know that he would have such retribution when he killed hundreds of officials in Luoyang? Retribution! God
My eyes are finally open!”
"Wonderful, wonderful! Such a great joy should come to light, so happy, so happy!"
Dong Zhuo is dead.
It seems that his death is inexplicable, and his death seems to be unclear.
Originally, all of Chang'an was shrouded in his power, but in the blink of an eye, this man who was once considered invincible died.
This person has endured heaven’s punishment before!
But he really died like that.
Bodies on the street don't lie.
Those servants of the imperial ministers who beat gongs and drums and want the whole world to know the news will not lie.
The large banner with Dong characters that has been removed from the top of Chang'an City and the large flag with Chinese characters that remain on top of the city cannot be deceiving.
So, everyone realized it.
Dong Zhuo is really dead.
As a result, like weeds growing out of the ground in spring, the city of Chang'an suddenly fell into a sea of joy. Everyone seemed to be extremely happy. It seemed that otherwise they would be Dong Zhuo's rebel followers.
Perhaps that is indeed the case.
Because someone saw with his own eyes that the family and their work in a tailor shop were found out by the courtiers' private army. The reason was that their family remained calm at a time when the whole country should be celebrating, as if they were silently resisting.
generally.
Then, the family was confiscated and the clan was exterminated.
Then, those happy people poured into the dilapidated shop to grab the last possible wealth.
After all, for ordinary people, those wooden tables, chairs and even paper account books that the big-headed soldiers disdain are rare and good things.
This is not the first time that such a scene has been staged in the joyful city of Chang'an, and it will certainly not be the last time.
This is a happy moment and a crazy moment.
The people of Chang'an City had enough reasons to cheer Dong Zhuo's death.
After all, most of the residents in Chang'an City today are either refugees who were driven here or refugees who left their hometowns in Luoyang. The former have never accepted Dong Zhuo's favor, but have to endure the Xiliang people who in their eyes are not much different from the Qiang people.
The terror of the army, not to mention the harshness of the new law, made them even less fond of Dong Zhuo.
As for the latter, national hatred may not be a problem, but family hatred is absolutely no problem. The reasons for them to leave their hometowns, from the first row to the first hundred, are all due to the oppression of the Xiliang Army. Even if Dong Zhuo moved calmly to a certain extent,
The troops were restrained, but in order to move as many people as possible to Chang'an, the methods used when facing those "nail households" were often cruel.
Not to mention that even if something like burning, killing, raping, and looting really happened, as long as Dong Zhuo didn't see it with his own eyes, most of the officials would turn a blind eye, especially to those who had some status but were not high-ranking and were quite loyal.
Officials are the focus of the disaster.
And this is why that huge wave of refugees turned into an almost uncontrollable situation.
Originally, because there were a large number of Xiliang troops stationed in Chang'an City, even if these people dared to get angry, they did not dare to do anything that would make the Xiliang Army seize the opportunity. Even after returning to Chang'an, the Xiliang Army seemed to be a lot more disciplined.
, it’s just that the hatred has been buried after all, and if you look at everything with colored glasses, the conclusions you draw will only add new nutrients to the hatred.
As Dong Zhuo attacked from all sides, Xiliang troops left in large numbers, and the taste of Xiliang in Chang'an City became weaker and weaker.
Therefore, if the entire Xiliang regards Dong Zhuo as their hope, then only Chang'an now regards him as their enemy.
No matter it goes up to the courtiers and civil servants, or down to the common people.
The whole of Chang'an fell into a sea of joy, or was plunged into a sea of jubilation, but in the face of this city that had fallen into madness, there was one place that could remain calm. It was incompatible with the atmosphere outside.
Of course, the most incredible thing is not this, but that this rare and peaceful place has not been overthrown by crazy people and disturbed by those courtiers and private armies with ill intentions. Perhaps this is the best thing about this place.
The peculiarity of a quiet place.
"Zizhong, are you going back now? If you can leave behind your contribution and ability to kill the Dong thief, your Majesty will definitely not begrudge you the reward. Following your Majesty will always be better than Liu Junlang who has already exceeded the limit. On the contrary
The traitor who has realized his will is much more powerful. I believe you have read the letter your master sent you, so you still can't change your decision?"
"...I'm very sorry. I personally admire Lieutenant Lu very much. Master's great kindness is hard to repay in this life. Even to Li Zhoumu, I feel deeply sorry. But please forgive me for my willfulness. Really
It’s hard to leave the homeland. Since senior brothers and junior brothers are all serving the master, and there are people like Li Zhoumu who will carry on the family’s legacy and die for them, Ren can only repay these kindnesses in his next life.”
"Is it worth it?"
"It's probably worth it."
"Won't you regret it?"
"You will really regret it only if you give up. As long as you give it your best, there will be no regrets."
"Then I won't keep you. I hope you and Shushi won't meet on the battlefield in the future."
"Then, Mr. Lu, I say goodbye. At the same time, please be careful around you. I heard that Cai Bojie was thrown into prison and hanged because he cried bitterly in front of Dong Zhuo's body and planned to collect Dong Zhuo's body. The current Chang'an City Prince
Excessive madness is too dangerous..."
"Is it too crazy and too dangerous?"
Looking up and seeing the blue sky and white clouds that were exactly the same as what Wang Yun saw, Lu Zhi felt that a shadow seemed to cast over his heart.
"Bohou, please take out all the fireworks sent from Bingzhou and set them off."
After a long time, listening to the various joyful "noises" outside the mansion that had not dissipated for a long time, Lu Zhi finally sighed helplessly and called his nominal housekeeper Du Ji over, but the content of his instructions made Du Ji
Ji was a little dazed.
"Go quickly, today is indeed a festive day no matter what, let's have fun while everyone is still happy."
"Are you still happy now..."
Savoring the flavor hidden in Lu Zhi's words, Du Ji called on everyone in the house to carefully move out the "gifts" sent by Li Shushi. These rare things even during the Chinese New Year reminded the people of Luoyang of the past.
Luoyang's luxurious, affluent and comfortable life, they originally felt that their lives had a head start, now they feel that tomorrow is so bright.
So, enjoy yourself while you can.
Forget about the ferocious army hundreds of miles away, forget about the enemy's allies thousands of miles away, forget about the crazy revenge of those ferocious enemies, leave happiness here, and let happiness infiltrate the heart that is already filled with fear and helplessness.
With this mentality, they were happy and forgot about the corpses of strangers piled up in the corner, as well as the childish but desperate cries that occasionally came from the corpses, even if occasionally a kind or seemingly well-meaning person passed by.
, but what he received were eyes full of vigilance and even hatred.
The seeds of hatred are always passed down from generation to generation, and they are always accompanied by the seeds of hope.
And happy people will never notice the fleeting shadow in the sky, the haze hidden behind the joy.
"Do you know the specific process?"
His face was extremely calm while he was making intimate movements. Even if Li Shushi didn't turn around, he could imagine the expression on the girl's face at this time, so he had the same calmness on his face, quietly waiting for the girl's answer.
The girl has smooth and fair skin like a porcelain doll, and a pair of almond eyes that reveal her charming charm all the time. There is a little red lip on her round chin, and her black shoulder-length hair is flying freely with the breeze by the river, soft and smooth.
The light fragrance entwining in the hair, accompanied by the naughty wind, danced cheerfully in front of Li Shushi from time to time.
Although she is actually just a lolita who has not yet grown her hair.
Although there is no unnecessary expression on this loli's face.
But Li Shushi could never forget the scene when the two met for the first time - the girl who was in a state of embarrassment and looked downcast looked timid, but her eyes revealed a firm will.
The girl who radiated an unyielding light that could never be crushed from her eyes that could never be crushed even though she was dirty was the most beautiful side of a girl in Li Shushi's mind, even though the girl's beauty was mostly obscured by dirt and exhaustion.
Even though he knew that the beauty might not belong to him, he was still obsessed with it.
"Mr. Wenhe said that he only knew some general information, and perhaps more detailed information would be received after a while."
"Are Wenyou interested in these? If not, I can ask someone to take you to have a rest."
"No need, I have already expected some things. I have already prepared for them. Although I still can't believe it when I hear such a result. But this does not mean that I have lost my judgment on things, it is just a matter of love between relatives.
It's just a delusion. Compared to me, I need to trouble you to confirm something..."
Following Li Ru's line of sight, what Li Shushi saw was Dong Bai's innocent smile. And he immediately understood what the other person was thinking.
"Then please."
At this time, Li Ru didn't look like the wise man who was absolutely rational and even a little ruthless. Instead, he looked like an adult who was having a headache because of his naughty children.
Perhaps even the most ruthless person has a piece of softness that belongs to him in his heart. He doesn't want others to touch it, and will only take it out slowly when no one is around. Savor the sweet, sour, or bitter taste in it.
As for how to appease the young Dong Bai... ahem, well, let's leave these things to professionals.
In addition, during the comfort process, Li Shushi said that she was absolutely innocent as to whether a certain loli would instill some bad knowledge into poor Dong Bai loli.
So, the two people who took the opportunity to adjust their mood began to listen carefully to the melodious voice of the girl who had left Li Shushi's shoulder... and the facts stated.
When doing business, these two have been able to ignore irrelevant things that affect their thinking...probably.
"According to the news from Chang'an: Ten days ago, Shangshu Sun Rui and Lieutenant Li Su went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to pay homage to Dong Zhuo. They mentioned that His Majesty seemed to feel incompetent and weak, and wanted to imitate the ancient sages and abdicate the throne to Dong Zhuo.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was furious. Not only did he reprimand the two men, but he also threatened to imprison them for their crimes, and eventually beat them out of the Prince of Qin's palace with sticks.
Eight days ago, Situ Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Zhongji, Wang Fu, Wu Shuo and others jointly wrote a letter hoping that Dong Zhuo would accept the abdication of the Han Emperor. Dong Zhuo's attitude changed drastically, and he loudly praised everyone for their understanding of current affairs, and rewarded everyone with fine wines. Shu Brocade and
Some gold beads.
Seven days ago, there was a riot in Huaili, Fufeng, Youfeng. Zhang Ping, a native of Hongnong, raised an army to rebel against Dong. Dong Zhuo ordered Song Xian, but Wei Xu led troops to quell the rebellion but could not overcome it.
Six days ago, Dong Zhuo ordered Liang Xing, the leader of the personal guard, to lead his troops to judge. On the same day, Wang Yun led hundreds of officials to invite Dong Zhuo to attend the abdication ceremony, and Dong Zhuo agreed with a smile.
Five days ago, Dong Zhuo led 500 personal guards and Li Su and other courtiers to participate in the abdication ceremony. They were ambushed in the White Tiger Hall of Weiyang Palace. After fighting for half a day, they were killed by Liu Yan's lieutenant Zhang Ren. The rest of the personal guards were all martyred, while the courtiers fought.
The damage was several times that of the enemy, and half of the remaining ones were disabled.
The above is the latest information sent back from Chang'an compiled by Mr. Wen He."
After saying that, the girl bowed calmly, then turned and left, leaving only two men looking at each other.
"What's going on with Dong Zhuo? Do you want to seek death yourself?"
"Probably, since the battle at Xuanmen Pass, Mr. Yuezhang has changed a lot, and sometimes he even becomes completely unfamiliar to me. Sometimes I also secretly wonder if it was the Brilliant Sky Thunder that made him
Some part of Mr. Yue-in's body has been permanently damaged, or has he been cursed by someone that cannot be lifted?"
Dong Zhuo's death and even the series of actions before it all smacked of conspiracy.
Of course, the conspiracy here does not refer to the small actions of the courtiers headed by Wang Yun that were full of flaws in Li Shushi's opinion, but Dong Zhuo's previous actions and his current death-defying behavior that seemed to be actively cooperating.
It's like being controlled by a pair of invisible hands.
If we think of Sun Jian who also almost begged for death and died in an unexpected "ambush" last year, and if we think of the almost identical choices between the two old enemies, this will make people feel strange.
Lenovo.
And unlike those who live in this era, Li Shushi, whose soul comes from another plane, feels even weirder at this time - it is obviously an ending that has been written long ago, and it is obviously in a normal "history"
", why does he always have a strange feeling in his heart.
He didn't have much contact with Sun Jian, and even with Dong Zhuo he only had a few acquaintances, far from having much in-depth understanding, but the characters of these two people undoubtedly left a deep impression on him.
In fact, looking back now, both of them have the kind of generosity that belongs to warriors. They don't hesitate to treat their friends with their smiles and enthusiasm, and they easily win the favor of their friends and subordinates.
He fights bravely and is always used to leading the way, spurring and inspiring the people around him with his actions. No matter how tragic the war is or even fails, it will only make the people around him unite closer.
Li Shushi could even conclude that these two commanders, who could be called the most brilliant commanders of their time, were the two most charismatic generals of their generation, and almost no one among their contemporaries could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Even the experiences of the two people are quite similar - they have many military exploits but are still ostracized by the mainstream power centers. They have done many ridiculous things for the sake of face, and both can be called unruly and difficult to control subordinates.
.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two is that in the process of climbing up, Dong Zhuo was more unscrupulous, so between the two, Dong Zhuo climbed higher and Sun Jian's reputation was better.
"Are you planning to send some kind of desperate message to the world..."
As if thinking of something, Li Shushi frowned deeply. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
