After Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu performed the drama of deep love between father and son, the court meeting continued.
In fact, everyone knows that this is just acting.
If both sides give each other a step down, the stalemate will not continue and neither will look good.
However, Dong Zhuo must have never dreamed that Lu Bu did not want to give himself a step up so that he could continue to be reused, but wanted to find an opportunity to kill him.
So the starting points are different, and the results are naturally different.
Taking advantage of this joyous scene, Dong Zhuo immediately announced that he would recruit 100,000 troops this year, with Lu Bu as the main general and cooperating with Xu Rong, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Li Jue, Guo Si and others to attack the Kwantung Army.
Dong Zhuo is not feeling well now. Among his five great generals, Dong Yue was captured by the Kwantung Army at Hangu Pass and died tragically. Niu Fu was defeated by Zhang Fei and died in the rebellion.
Now the only ones who can fight are Xu Rong and Duan Xuan. Xu Rong is guarding against Guan Yu at Weiqiao, while Li Jue and Guo Si have led Niu Fu's old troops. About 40,000 people are at Zuofeng Yi to resist Zang Ba.
Duan Xuan fought with Sun Jian in Jiaocheng, and Hu Zhen resisted Wang Lang's attack in Gaoling.
Therefore, pushing Lu Bu out was actually a helpless choice. Otherwise, if there were no new troops and new generals to take on important responsibilities, and the military strength was at a disadvantage, they would never be able to drive the Kwantung Army out of Guanzhong.
After the discussion, Dong Zhuo announced the dismissal of the court. Under the protection of a group of Xiliang army guards, he held Lu Bu's hand and the two walked out of Weiyang Palace together, talking and laughing.
There is a carriage parked outside the palace.
With Lu Bu's help, Dong Zhuo's fat body got on the carriage, and then slowly drove towards Beiyemen.
Behind him, there were a group of three nobles and nine ministers, with stern eyes, slowly following Dong Zhuo's carriage.
Lu Bu ran quickly, his eyes aimed at Fang Tian's painted halberd and sword placed at the entrance of the palace.
Dong Zhuo was unaware that the convoy arrived at the palace gate in a short time.
"Dong Zhuo, old man, die!"
Almost at the moment when the carriage was about to pass through the palace gate, more than a dozen guards guarding the palace gate suddenly stabbed Dong Zhuo with their halberds.
The leader is none other than Li Su.
Li Su's halberd pierced Dong Zhuo's body, making a fierce metal collision sound.
The sharp tip of the halberd pierced his clothes. It turned out that Dong Zhuo was wearing armor under his court uniform.
The sudden riot made people overwhelmed. The scene was chaotic for a while, and soon Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army and Li Su's Bingzhou army were fighting together.
"Where is my son Fengxian!"
Facing this scene, Dong Zhuo was startled, but he quickly reacted and grabbed Li Su's halberd pole, making it difficult for him to continue the assassination, while shouting for help.
"Father, don't panic, I'm coming."
Lu Bu walked to the palace gate in three steps and took two steps at a time to get his Fang Tian painted halberd. He walked to the carriage like a dragon and a tiger, and stabbed the big halberd in his hand like thunder.
However, what shocked Dong Zhuo was that the halberd did not stab Li Su at all, but aimed at his neck.
"Lu Bu you!"
Dong Zhuo was very strong. He raised Li Su's halberd to block it, and was about to curse Lu Bu.
But the next second, severe pain surged through his neck, rendering him speechless.
Lu Bu realized that he had missed a hit, so he actually drew his sword and aimed it at Dong Zhuo's unarmored neck.
A flash of silver light flashed, and blood flowed like a stream.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Li Su was a little nervous. He took a few steps back while holding his halberd and looked at Dong Zhuo blankly.
Dong Zhuo let go of the hand holding the halberd, his eyes widened, his left hand covered his neck where blood was pouring out, and his right hand grabbed Lu Bu, his face changing constantly.
At first, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he wanted to eat Lu Bu's flesh and drink Lu Bu's blood. His eyes were full of violence and anger.
But it was as if he could feel his life draining away quickly, his eyes gradually softened, and finally turned into pleading.
I wanted to say something, but my mouth was slightly open, but no words came out.
Maybe he wanted to ask Lu Bu to save him.
Maybe he wanted to leave the funeral arrangements.
But no one knew what Dong Zhuo was going to say.
His huge body crashed down and fell from the car to the ground at the entrance of the palace.
Tian Jing, the chief clerk of Taishi Mansion in the distance, saw this scene and rushed over to Dong Zhuo. He leaned down and listened to Dong Zhuo's words.
"Mother... Bai..."
Dong Zhuo used his last strength to say only these two words, then stared and became motionless.
Wang Yun hurried over and waited until he saw Dong Zhuo's body with his own eyes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Xiliang army who were still in shock around him: "Dong Zhuo is dead, who wants to be buried with him?"
Everyone looked at each other and looked left and right. After a while, the first person knelt down and shouted "willing to serve Situ", then the second person, the third person, and countless others.
Why did Wang Yun finally choose to take action at the palace gate?
Because there are Xiliang troops everywhere in the palace, including guards patrolling and standing guard, and Zhi Jinwu on duty in Weiyang Palace.
Not to mention that weapons are not allowed in the palace, even if they can, with more than ten of them alone, even if they kill Dong Zhuo in the Weiyang Hall, the hundreds of Xiliang Army soldiers inside and outside the hall are enough to kill them all, and they will be a threat to the emperor.
It also poses a threat.
It's different at the palace gate.
Li Su and others sneaked in wearing the clothes of guards. There were not many guards at the palace gate, and the palace gate was not big. It was inconvenient for Dong Zhuo's guards to crowd together, and it was easier to assassinate them.
"Dong Zhuo is finally dead."
"It is gratifying that Wang Situ has eliminated a great harm to the country."
"Now we should leave the city quickly, contact the Kwantung Army, and surrender or remove all Dong Zhuo's old troops."
Ma Rifu, Yang Biao, Liu Yu and other ministers came to see Dong Zhuo's body. They all clapped their hands and praised Wang Yun for his great contribution to the country. They also believed that the Kwantung Army loyal to the imperial court should be called into the city immediately.
However, Wang Yun said calmly: "The Kwantung Army is confronting Dong Zhuo's old troops outside the city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the city. I think it is better to block the city gate first and send people to Meiwu to annihilate Dong Zhuo's three tribes to disrupt the military morale of Dong Zhuo's old troops.
, then let the Kwantung Army annihilate them all, and then order the Kwantung Army to retreat on its own."
"What?"
Yang Biao was shocked and said: "What does Situ mean by this? Is it because he wants the Kwantung Army and Dong Zhuo's old army to fight and lose both sides?"
Ma Rixi also frowned: "Although Dong Zhuo is disgusting, he has a ninety-year-old mother and a three-year-old daughter in his clan. Killing an entire clan is a bit excessive. It's better to just kill Dong Min, Dong Huang and other chief culprits."
, don’t implicate innocent people.”
Tian Jing said sadly: "Before he died, the Grand Master only said the words mother and Bai. He was obviously thinking about his mother and granddaughter. When a person is about to die, his words are good. Why should Situ kill them all?"
"snort!"
Wang Yun snorted coldly and said: "You traitor, you still dare to speak for Dong Zhuo, please kill him first!"
Lu Bu grinned, strangled Tian Jing's neck with one hand, and forcibly lifted him up.
Tian Jing's eyes widened and he kicked his legs in the air. He wanted to speak but couldn't. Within a moment, Lu Bu strangled him to death.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt that Wang Yun was very cruel.
Even Zongzheng Liu Yu, who has always been loyal, said: "Situ, you made a thousand mistakes, and it is only Dong Zhuo who made the mistake. Tian Jing was not at fault, so why kill him?"
Yang Biao was also very unhappy and said with a hint of anger: "Prince's Division, even if you want to prevent the Kwantung Army from entering the city, you should first go outside the city to recruit Dong Zhuo's old troops. How can you let the emperor issue an edict to directly order the Kwantung Army to fight with the city?"
Are Dong Zhuo's old men fighting each other?"
Wang Yun sneered and said: "This is a test of the loyalty of the Kwantung Army. If they can't even get rid of Dong Zhuo's old troops, what else will God do to them? Moreover, Liu Xuande has occupied Qingzhou and has strong soldiers and horses, and there is a false emperor in Jizhou. I will let them retreat.
What's wrong with pacifying Jizhou? You don't need to say more, I have made up my mind."
"Wang Yun you!"
Only then did Yang Biao realize that Wang Yun's fundamental purpose was to get rid of Dong Zhuo and then monopolize power.
What test Kwantung Army?
That is to let the Kwantung Army fight to the death with Dong Zhuo's old troops outside the city, and when both sides are defeated, let Lu Bu lead the Jizhou soldiers and horses to clean up the mess.
By then, the power of the imperial court would be completely in his hands, Wang Yun.
After all, the Kwantung Army has so many troops. If they enter the city, who will control the world will be another matter.
Some people may say that Wang Yun's considerations are not unreasonable. What if the emperor is controlled by the Kwantung Army and another Dong Zhuo comes out?
However, it was not the first day that Yang Biao, Liu Yu and others met Liu Bei. Liu Bei had always been loyal and a member of the clan. Even if he held great power, he would definitely be a ZTE minister like Zhou Gong Huo Guang.
You, Wang Yun, have neither an army nor prestige. Why would you want to imitate Zhou Gong Huo Guang?
"Um?"
Wang Yun looked at Yang Biao with a serious look: "Taichang seems to have objections?"
Lu Bu on the side put down Tian Jing's body and stood beside Wang Yun holding a halberd. It was obvious that he had been incited by Wang Yun to rebel and was loyal to him.
"you......."
Yang Biao's face turned dark and he was about to say something.
Ma Rixi, Liu Yu and others quickly persuaded him to stop and forcibly pulled him back.
But Wang Yun's eyes revealed murderous intent.
Among the officials of the imperial court, Yang Biao still has the highest prestige, the fourth generation and the third Duke, and the Hongnong Yang family.
He, Wang Yun, was appointed Situ, but he still came here to please Dong Zhuo.
Although he could be said to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, after Dong Zhuo's death, in terms of seniority and prestige, Yang Biao should be in charge of the overall situation.
No matter how bad it is, it should be Ma Rixi or Liu Yu, not Wang Yun.
So at this moment, Wang Yun was already murderous.
Historically, he killed Cai Yong just because of Cai Yong's sigh. Now if Yang Biao dares to let the Kwantung Army enter the city and prevent him from controlling power, he will never show mercy.
However, since Dong Zhuo's old troops and the Xiliang Army were both outside the city, it would be a bad thing if he killed all the Manchu ministers and aroused the Kwantung Army's anger and joined forces with Dong Zhuo's old troops to invade the city.
So at this moment, Wang Yun decided to endure it for a while.
When his plan to drive away wolves and swallow tigers is successful, and the Kwantung Army and Dong Zhuo's old troops fight to the death, and he is completely in control of the situation, it will not be too late to make further calculations.
Thinking of this, Wang Yun looked at Yang Biao who was being dragged away by Liu Yu and others indifferently, sneered in his heart, and said to the people around him: "Pass my order to annihilate the Dong Zhuo clan. As for the old thief Dong Zhuo, light the sky lantern, and
Don’t let the lamp go out before the corpse oil is burned out!”
"only......"
The people around him were frightened by Wang Yun's cruelty, and they were all trembling with fear.
Wang Yun held Lu Bu's hand and walked toward the palace together.
As he walked, he laughed and said: "Fengxian, from today on, this world belongs to you and me, hahahahaha!"
