Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 782 Killing the Emperor

Chapter 780: Killing the Emperor

Dong Zhuo has been very irritable recently, and Qin Hao is naturally the culprit.

In the Battle of Jingbei, although the Liangzhou Army did not directly participate in the battle, it supported Liu Xiu in terms of strength, food, ordnance and politics.

In addition to these, the Liangzhou Army also contained most of Qin Hao's forces, otherwise Liu Xiu would not have the qualifications to compete with Qin Hao.

It was precisely because Liu Xiu pulled Dong Zhuo's tiger skin that he could successfully fool the five princes into forming an alliance. Otherwise, based on his and Liu Biao's reputation alone, the Jingzhou princes would not be able to take care of them.

Dong Zhuo also didn't expect Liu Xiu to defeat Qin Hao, because he also knew that it was not realistic at all.

Dong Zhuo only wanted Liu Xiu to contain some of Qin Hao's energy. After he completely integrated the forces of Kansai, he would destroy the Nanyang forces in one fell swoop, but he did not expect Liu Xiu to be defeated so quickly.

After analyzing the entire Battle of Jingbei, Dong Zhuo found that Liu Xiu could not be blamed for this defeat. After all, Liu Xiu did not make any mistakes. It was because the Qin army had too many new tricks.

An endless stream of new equipment, unheard-of battle commanders, and elite generals who go forward one after another...

Losing this battle is really a no-brainer.Even if Dong Zhuo personally went to direct, it would not necessarily be better than Liu Xiu.

After Qin Hao captured Xiangyang, the defense in the south had been completely consolidated, and so far Dong Zhuo's plan to encircle the four sides was completely aborted.

Consuming so many resources, not only did it not hit Qin Hao, but it also strengthened his power, which made Dong Zhuo feel more threatened in Qin Hao than Qin Wen.

Liu Xiu's remaining troops in Nanjun are not bad if they are not destroyed by Yue Fei, let alone contain Qin Hao's troops in the south, and if Qin Hao takes full control of Nanjun, his forces will become even stronger.

Therefore, even if he knew that Liu Xiu was not Qin Hao's opponent, Dong Zhuo had to continue to support Liu Xiu, because now, apart from Liu Xiu, no one could stabilize the situation in Nanjun.

Qin Hao did not rush to expand after winning Xiangyang, but split the site into four counties and continued to tap the internal potential. The power was as vibrant as the rising sun.

Dong Zhuo turned around and looked at your side, the aristocratic family indicated that they were attached but secretly resisted, and the integration of the Kansai land was far away, and it was still half-dead.

What angered Dong Zhuo the most was that Qin Hao was actively in contact with the Guandong princes, and the Guandong princes also showed great interest, obviously wanting to unite against him.

At the beginning, the Yellow Turban Zhangjiao, with millions of mercenaries, shook the world, but he was also dragged to death by the princes and families of the world.

Although Dong Zhuo is now the number one prince in the world, there is still a big gap compared to the original Yellow Turbans. Of course, he does not have the confidence to deal with the crusades of the princes in the world.

But what you are afraid of will come to you.

Under Qin Hao's active contact, the ties between the princes in various places have become increasingly close, but there is still no progress on his side.

Originally, Dong Zhuo wanted to attack Qin Hao in order to deter the princes of Guandong, but now he didn't dare to think about it, because now sending troops is simply forcing the princes to unite.

In order to prevent the Kanto princes from uniting, Dong Zhuo also adopted a strategy of dividing and dividing, such as:
Seal Han Fu as the shepherd of Jizhou;

He named Zhao Kuangyin, a general under Yuan Shu, as the prefect of Nanyang;
Seal Cao Cao as the shepherd of Xuzhou;
Make Yuan Shao the Shepherd of Youzhou...

But what Dong Zhuo didn't expect was that although the princes accepted his canonization on the surface, they had more frequent connections behind the scenes.

At this time, Dong Zhuo finally realized that the Liangzhou army, the strongest feudal lord, had become the target of public criticism, and it was imperative to unite.

The Liangzhou army alone cannot compete with the Kanto princes. Only by concentrating the power of Kansai can they stand up against each other. However, under the tandem of a dark force, Kansai is still fighting against Dong Zhuo.

If things go on like this, the Liangzhou army will completely change from active to passive, and Dong Zhuo will become more and more irritable because of this.

Dong Zhuo also wanted to use a gentle way to integrate Kansai, but he had no time to find out the ins and outs, so he could only use the most simple and rude way, that is...kill the emperor.

Dong Zhuo didn't know which forces were targeting him, but he knew that the forces behind the deposed young emperor Liu Pian were definitely the most active of them.

Therefore, killing Liu Bian can deter the Guanzhong family, as well as the civil and military officials, so that Dong Zhuo can successfully integrate the power of Guanxi to fight against the princes of Guandong.

But what Dong Zhuo didn't know was that he actually overestimated the Kanto princes.

The reason why the feudal lords in Kanto are close is that they are only aware of the threat and want to protect themselves from Dong Zhuo's army, which is far from the point of uniting against Dong. This was the birth of the Dong-Dong Alliance.

Hongnong Palace.

Li Ru walked in with three cups of poison wine in his hand, and Liu Bian, who had been deposed as the King of Hongnong, hugged Empress Tang shiveringly, his face full of despair.

The Empress Dowager He stood in front of the two of them, staring at Li Ru with a livid face, and shouted sharply: "Li Ru, who gave you the guts to dare to be presumptuous in the Hongnong Palace, are you not afraid of Dong Zhuo's blame?"

Li Ru smiled disdainfully and said coldly: "The Queen Mother, the Prime Minister has tolerated you in every possible way, but you have repeatedly touched the bottom line of the Prime Minister. This time Li Ru came here on the order of the Prime Minister."

He Hou's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in despair: "Impossible, Dong Zhuo promised this palace that he would leave a way for our mother and son to live. How can he break his promise? How can he break his promise?"

In order to get this promise from Dong Zhuo, the Empress Dowager He did not hesitate to serve and please Dong Zhuo, and whenever she thought of this vulgar warrior running on her body, the Empress Dowager He felt extremely humiliated, but who knew that Dong Zhuo would not admit it if he put on his pants.

At this moment, what he regretted most was not agreeing to please Dong Zhuo, but why she didn't die with Dong Zhuo in bed. As long as she wanted to do it, she would definitely have a chance. Even if she failed, it was better than being caught. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything.

Li Ru looked at Empress He, picked up a glass of poison wine, and said lightly: "Queen Mother, this glass of wine was specially prepared by Wei Chen, and it won't make you commit too many crimes. Are you drinking it yourself? Or Wei Chen will feed you. ?"

He Hou screamed like crazy: "Rebel, don't come over, this palace is the queen mother..."

Seeing that the queen was unwilling to take the initiative to drink poison wine, Li Ru said coldly: "Come here, send the queen mother and the first emperor on their way."

Several Liangzhou soldiers directly stepped forward to hold He Hou down, and then forcibly poured the poison into He Hou's mouth.

He Hou wanted to shout, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only look at Li Ru with hatred, and he lost his life for a moment.
