Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat of the North Palace with a golden sword, looking at Gu Qianye expressionlessly, not knowing whether he was happy or angry.
"Grandmaster, I'm sorry. That assassin was really powerful and extremely despicable. He used the emperor as a shield to fight with someone. After fighting with him for a while, he finally caught the flaw and snatched the emperor away, but he still suffered a small loss."
Gu Qianye stood at the bottom of the hall, put Liu Hairy Crab Bian in his hand on the ground, looked at Dong Zhuo and replied.
Well, yes, in order to facilitate the task submission, Liu Bian was still untied at this time. After experiencing life and death for a day, he collapsed on the ground, but he didn't even have the strength to squirm.
"That's all, I don't blame you. You have done a great job in finding the emperor. I will reward you!"
The system prompts: "You have completed the task of retrieving Young Emperor Liu Bian. You have obtained a gold-level treasure chest [Royal Reward]
Emperor of the Han Empire, your reputation in all camps of the Han Dynasty has increased."
Although Dong Zhuo was cruel, he still had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
From Dong Zhuo's point of view, retrieving the little emperor was the top priority - as for the assassin, he ran away.
Gu Qianye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he saw that he had handed over the task, he quickly saluted, thanked him, and left Beigong like flying on the ground.
In the main hall of the North Palace, only Liu Bian and Dong Zhuo were left.
"Master, I, I, I was kidnapped..."
Dong Zhuo still had no expression on his face, he waved his hand, and outside the door, Lu Bu led a group of soldiers and horses, escorting a large group of men and women and walked in. Dong Zhuo walked up to Liu Bian and did not let him loose.
He just lifted it up and placed it on the steps inside the palace.
Liu Bian looked closely and saw that it was his bodyguards and maids.
"All the guards responsible for the emperor's safety will be beheaded, and all the maids serving in the palace will be used as military prostitutes."
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he waved his hand again, but Liu Bian's eyes widened on the spot.
"Grand Master, spare your life!"
"Unjustly accused! Unjustly accused!"
The soldiers dragged the men and women who were begging and crying all the way out of the palace. Not long after, several screams were heard outside the door. Then, a team of swordsmen came in holding trays, which contained dozens of weapons.
A head full of mosaics.
Liu Bian was timid at first, but this scene was really bloody and horrifying, but he felt weak on the spot and couldn't help but close his eyes.
However, Dong Zhuo winked, and two soldiers on the side stepped forward, forced open Liu Bian's eyes with both hands, held down his head, and asked him to carefully look at the faces that still showed fear one by one.
But Liu Bian clearly saw an extremely vicious curse on the head, and seemed to be asking himself why he ran away secretly.
"Your Majesty, did you see that they died because of you? Do you remember?"
Dong Zhuo walked gently to Liu Bian's side, bent down and put his ear next to Liu Bian's.
"Remember."
"Louder, someone can't hear you!" Dong Zhuo's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Remember! Remember!"
"Just remember, your Majesty is not the only one with the Liu surname in the world."
Dong Zhuo's voice was neither sad nor happy.
But when Liu Bian heard it, it was like falling into an ice cellar.
——————
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While Liu Bian was trembling with fear from Dong Zhuo, the assassin Fang Mufeng took the edict and galloped away in the direction of Chenliu without stopping.
The dagger player he met at the end was also an experienced actor. Fang Mufeng quickly handed over the little emperor Liu Bian. The other party was also very smart. He shouted "The emperor has been found" all the way, attracting a large number of NPCs.
, this allowed Fang Mufeng to easily avoid the patrolling eyes everywhere and successfully escape from the palace.
The edict had to be handed over to Cao Cao before the mission was completed. As an old player who had been tricked by games many times, Fang Mufeng did not dare to neglect, and drove straight to Cao Cao's residence at a high speed.
But this time, nothing happened.
As a mole, Wang Yun is undoubtedly qualified.
First, he released the water so that Fang Mufeng could easily get the jade seal and seal it, and then used the bitter meat trick to win Dong Zhuo's trust.
Due to the unequal information, Dong Zhuo always believed that this was an ordinary assassination targeting him, and did not even speculate in the direction of stealing seals and forging secret edicts.
In addition, the young emperor Liu Bian secretly ran away to cause trouble again. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he had no intention of pursuing it.
"Okay! With this edict, this can be expected!"
The system prompts: "You have completed the mission [Secret Edict], and your friendship with Cao Cao has improved. Currently, for appreciation, you have obtained..."
At this time, Cao Cao finally felt a big stone fall from his heart.
Since receiving the support from Wei Hong, Cao Cao's strength has greatly increased and he began to recruit troops like crazy.
It's easy to do things if you have money. Cao Cao spent all his wealth, purchased a large number of weapons and armor, hoarded military rations, recruited local warriors, and trained day and night. It's a game, the troops were formed very quickly. In just a few days, Cao Cao's men were ready.
There are nearly ten thousand elite soldiers.
Chen Liu had already been under the control of the Cao family. At this time, Cao Cao and his father Cao Song worked together to build Chen Liu like an iron barrel.
But compared with Dong Zhuo, these are far from enough.
Dong Zhuo not only had under his command the elite Xiliang knights he brought with him and the Bingzhou army and horses obtained from the annexation of Ding Yuan, but he also recruited all the troops and horses under the original Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan who were originally stationed in Luoyang, the capital, and even the imperial army guarding the city.
The number of people is no less than 200,000.
Unlike the Yellow Turban's so-called million-strong army, Dong Zhuo's army does not have those villagers who are just trying to make up for their numbers. The 200,000-strong army is all warriors.
Dong Zhuo was so powerful that he could not resist him without the combined efforts of all the heroes in the world. This was also the biggest reason why Cao Cao took risks and tried to make an imperial edict.
After all, there are risks in correcting edicts.
In the settings of the game, the Jade Seal cannot be forged.
Dong Zhuo coerced the emperor and ordered the princes to attack Dong Zhuo, which was a rebellion.
As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth, and if the words are not smooth, the things will not be accomplished.
The reason why we need to make false edicts is to find an excuse for the heroes in the world to send troops.
But if there hadn't been this imperial edict stamped with a jade seal, God knows if someone would have taken advantage of it.
Not only that, due to doubts about the authenticity of the imperial edict, some warlords who were self-respecting for their troops would originally maintain a wait-and-see attitude. However, if they saw the imperial edict, they would have no excuse to refuse to send troops.
It doesn't matter whether the edict is true or not, what matters is the jade seal
The jade seal is the emperor's order.
"Hurry! Hurry! This is the end of Thief Dong!"
Cao Cao had always been a calm person who could express his emotions and anger. At this moment, he finally smiled. He grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp. He threw the wine glass to the ground and leaned on the table.
I wrote a letter on my behalf.
"Send the order! Send elite soldiers quickly and travel day and night to the Bohai Sea to invite Yuan Benchu to come here for an alliance!"
