Chapter 302 Luoyang Beacon Fire Ji ([-]) Two changes of [-], please ask for a monthly ticket

Pine Forest Pavilion sounds a bit like an inn.

Although to a certain extent, the Pine Forest House is indeed a place for people to live, but in fact, it is a post station.

Located thirteen miles west of Luoyang City, the scenery is beautiful.

Li Jue and Guo Si rested in this pine forest pavilion, preparing to enter Luoyang at dawn.

It took [-] days from Chang'an to Hongnong, but Li Jue and Guo Si still hadn't made up their minds; it took three days from Hongnong to Hangu Pass, but they still couldn't make up their minds; It took another three days to reach the city, but still failed to make a decision. It took two and a half days from Gucheng to Pine Forest Hall, but the two were still hesitating.

All troubles come from a letter.

A month ago, they received an invitation from Dong Zhuo to attend a birthday banquet in Luoyang.

Originally, the two were quite happy.Anyway, this shows that the two of them are very important in Dong Zhuo's eyes.

But on the first day of preparation for departure, another letter arrived.

The content of the letter was quite different, warning them to be careful, because Dong Zhuo had already developed murderous intentions towards the two of them.

All right, why did Dong Zhuo have murderous intentions towards himself?
Li Jue and Guo Si didn't believe it at first, but the rest of the letter made them both sweat.

Dong Zhuo's health is not good recently, although Li Ru tried his best to block the news, but this is not a secret to Luoyang people.

It's just that no one knows what Dong Zhuo's health is like, only that he is not in good health.

Sixty knows the destiny, for an old man in poor health, the next action is to consider for his children and grandchildren.

The letter said: Since ancient times, cunning rabbits have died, and running dogs have cooked them.There are too many things to hide from the bird's bow... If Dong Zhuo wants to push Dong Bi to the top, he will first eliminate those who are not convinced by Dong Bi.May I ask you two, are you convinced by Dong Bi?

This sentence really touched the hearts of Li and Guo.

In the eyes of the two, although Dong Bi is fierce, he is still too young to take on great responsibilities.

To be honest, they were really unconvinced by Dong Bi. If it wasn't for Dong Zhuo, how could Dong Pi be as prosperous as he is today?
Li Jue believed in witches, and there was a witch in his family who would tell good or bad luck for him.So I found the witch, and after a fortune-telling, it turned out to be a sign of great evil.As a result, Li Jue became more and more worried, and walked slowly along the way with Guo Bang.

He wanted to resist, but Dong Zhuo was fierce and fierce.

Among the generals in the Liangzhou Army, who is not afraid of Dong Zhuo?

Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't help but feel uneasy, if Dong Zhuo didn't want to kill the two of them, if he didn't succeed in this rebellion, he would have to bear a bad name if he succeeded.

Very hesitant, very headache...

The two sat in the guest room, and the food on the table did not move at all.

You look at me, I look at you, my mind is in a mess, I don't know what the future will be.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room.A soldier went to open the door, only to see a person standing at the door, wearing a veiled bamboo hat, covering his face.A pair of black robes, about seven feet six inches tall, with a particularly tall and straight figure.

"you……"

"I came here to ask to see the two generals Li and Guo, and said that I was sending a letter to an old friend..."

Guo Bang was furious, "Send a letter to an old friend, tell him to get out, get out immediately!"

Li Jue stopped Guo Si.

Send a letter to an old friend?What letter to send?When did you send the letter?
This naturally reminded me of the unsigned letter. Li Jue signaled Guo Si to be calm, and then said, "Let him in."

The soldiers moved out of the way, and the man in black walked into the room.

"Childish and elegant, are you still drinking at this time?"

The voice sounded very familiar, and Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't help but startled.Youduo is the epigraph of Guo Si, and Zhiran is the epigraph of Li Jue.

The two looked at each other, and Li Jue said, "You are..."

"That cunning rabbit is dead, but I don't know how childish it is, have you ever prepared it?"

Li Jue was shocked and stood up abruptly, holding his saber in his hand.But the other party sat down carelessly, held up the wine glass, "There are many, old friends are visiting, why don't we have a drink together?"

In a blink of an eye, Li Jue let go of the hilt of his sword.

"Go back!"

The soldiers left the room in response, Li Jue winked at Guo Si, Guo Si immediately understood, got up and stood at the door.

"Who are you?"

Li Jue said sternly: "How dare you come to me for trying to sow dissension? Are you afraid that I will take you down and present you to the Grand Master?"

"It doesn't matter if I die, but are you two ready to die with me?"

As the man in black said, he took off his bamboo hat and put it on the table.The candlelight flickered, clearly reflecting on the face of the man in black.

Li Jue screamed, "Why is it you?"

This man in black robe is indeed Zheng Tai, the Great Honghe of the dynasty.

Zheng Tai has now become Dong Zhuo's confidant. Although he is not as close as Li Ru, he is still quite trusted.

Since the Battle of Xingyang, Zheng Tai has been diligent and diligent, assisting Li Ru in his work.

Due to the non-cooperative attitude of most of the court officials, Zheng Tai, who is in charge of etiquette, is actually responsible for many things.Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other, and there was a look of astonishment in each other's eyes.

Zheng Tai took a sip of the wine and ate the food.

"Have you ever received my letter?"

Li Jue took off the sword and put it on the table, "Zheng Tai, what is your purpose in writing this letter?"

Zheng Tai smiled, "Children, put away the sword. You can't scare me... Since I dare to confess to my face, I'm not afraid of you killing me. In fact, I was entrusted by the Taifu more than a year ago. , everything is no longer important. I came here today, just want to ask you a question: Have you considered it? Are you going to live or die together?"

This guy is really kind!
Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other, put away their swords, and sat on both sides of Zheng Tai.

"Gongye, what exactly does your letter mean?"

"What do you mean? No one else, I just don't want the two generals to die..."

"How do you know that the Grand Master is going to kill us?"

Zheng Tai smiled, "Dong Zhuo's health is getting worse day by day. I bribed the servants of the Grand Master's Mansion and stole a prescription. The medicine in the prescription, the imperial physician observed, was to treat shortness of heart and energy. The condition is very serious."

"so what?"

"You two generals, do you know what lack of energy is?"

"This one……"

Zheng Tai laughed and said: "The so-called lack of energy means that you can't work hard, you can't get angry, you can't be overjoyed and sad... If so, do the two generals think that Dong Zhuo will continue to lead the power in the court? Even if he wants to, this body will not agree. "

Li Jue and Guo Si were all silent!

Although they were not in Dong Zhuo's seat, the two knew very well what Dong Zhuo was facing.

With a gloomy face, they didn't speak.

Zheng Tai took a sip of his wine, and then said: "Shuofang's great victory, but it's a waste of time. Dong Zhuo suddenly mobilized his troops and wanted to hold a big banquet at this time. What's the reason? Moreover, he called Marquis Marquis back in a hurry... Hehe, as far as I know, the Marquis of Wu Gong has already left Anding and is heading towards Luoyang, that is to say, he will arrive in these ten days."

Guo Si couldn't bear it any longer, "Surnamed Zheng, speak quickly and don't hide it."

"Okay, since General Guo wants me to speak clearly, I will not hide it. The Marquis of Martial Arts has won a complete victory in Shuofang, and his reputation is very high. He has Niu Fu on his left and Lu Bu, and his wings are already full. And the Liangzhou Army Internally, many generals are very convinced of him. Dong Zhuo’s arrangement of a banquet this time to celebrate his birthday is a fake, but it is true that he wants Marquis Marquis to take control of the power.”

Li Jue's face was gloomy, "So what?"

Zheng Tai sneered and said, "So what? Let me ask the two generals, do you have friendship with Dong Pi?"

Li Jue and Guo Si were silent for a while, then shook their heads lightly.

"Then you can trust Dong Bi?"

The two shook their heads again?
"If I were Dong Zhuo, if I retreated, I would definitely let Dong Bi take control of the Liangzhou Army. Since I want to control the Liangzhou Army, I will definitely clean up all unnecessary troubles for Dong Bi. And the two Megatron and the three assistants , naturally bear the brunt."

Guo Si jumped up against the case, "Zheng Tai, all this is just your conjecture."

"It's conjecture..." Zheng Tai calmly looked at Guo Bang and said, "Even if Dong Zhuo doesn't want to kill you, after Dong Bi came to power, do the two generals think that they can still be as good as they are now? Dong Bi is extremely brave, There are so many strong generals under my command, and there are many counselors... Hehe, anyway, if I were Dong Pi, I would definitely do some cleaning first, and remove all non-direct descendants in the Liangzhou Army. On the one hand, it is easy to control, on the other hand, Then it can frighten the army... There is a saying that goes well, what is it called..."

"Kill one to warn others!" Guo Si couldn't help blurting out.

Li Jue gave Guo Si a hard look, Guo Youduo couldn't hold back anymore.

When you say that, doesn't it mean that we are indeed considering what he said?
Guo Bang also realized that he had said something wrong, so he shrank his neck, sat down again, drank with his head sullen, and said nothing.

Zheng Tai smiled even brighter.

"You don't have to blame you too much, Zhiran. In fact, you have been procrastinating along the way, and I know what you are thinking."

After finishing speaking, he poured himself a glass of wine, and then said with a smile: "Let's talk about one more thing. I am Da Honglu, and most of the letters sent out from the court have to be handled by me. If Dong Zhuo has no other ideas Well, for such a big event as his birthday, everyone should be gathered together, not to mention too many, at least the cronies of Sili and Liangzhou must be indispensable. However, I only sent two letters, one to Marquis Hou Dong, One was sent to the hands of both of you."

Zheng Tai stood up, "Niu Fu in Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and there is no movement; Li Tong in Xingyang, Han Meng in Chenggao, and Yang Ding in Yangdi have nothing to say. Hehe, let alone Le Lang Fan Chou and Liaodong Gongsun, it seems It's a bit abnormal."

Li Jue gasped involuntarily, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

In this heart, Zheng Tai had already persuaded her to move her.

Zheng Tai said: "I might as well make it clear... I am a member of the party. When the old lady Fu Yuanwei was imprisoned, I visited secretly. He asked me to wait for the opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty. Now, I have made sense Yuan Shao, he dispatched troops from Dingxiang and Yanmen, contacted the Cui family in Xihe, and made an agreement with Helian that as soon as Luoyang moves, he will attack from four places at the same time."

Li Jue's heart moved, wouldn't this act trap Lu Bu to death in the cloud?

"But Anding still has the Han'an army, and Longxi has Niufu's 15 troops stationed... If they attack together, Sili will not be able to protect them."

"Niu Fu, a dog that guards the gate is nothing to worry about; stability... Hehe, I have already arranged a killing strategy on Dong Pi's way to Luoyang. Once Dong Pi dies, stability will be chaotic. Not just stability, even Shuofang is also too busy to take care of himself. I have made an appointment with Ma Teng, prefect of Wuwei, and Zhang Miao, prefect of Jincheng. As long as the general agrees, we can join forces to capture the three prefectures of Anding."

Li Jue's teeth felt cold for a while, and he looked at Zheng Tai in horror.

This guy, is he really meticulous in his work?
Suddenly sneered, "Don't talk about revitalizing the Han Dynasty, let me ask you, since you and Yuan Shao joined forces, even if we help you, I'm afraid that you will die as a cunning rabbit in the future, and you will end up like a lackey. And your party members , regaining control of the court, how can my Xiliang army survive? Zheng Gongye, you are so scheming... It's a pity that I, Li Jue, am not a fool, so I can't be fooled by you."

Speaking of this, Li Jue has actually expressed his attitude.

The rest is how to distribute the benefits.

Zheng Tai couldn't help laughing loudly, "Zhiran, why are you so stupid? Although Yuan Shao is powerful, he is far away in Jizhou. Do you think Lu Bu is easy to deal with? That is a vicious tiger. It can't be solved. As long as you kill Dong Zhuo, you are the biggest in Luoyang City... [-] Liangzhou troops are dispatched by you. If you have the emperor in your hands, then you will have righteousness. With righteousness, are you afraid of Yuan Shao? He is just one of your subordinates."

Yup!

Li Jue's eyes lit up immediately.

Guo Si suddenly said: "Zheng Gongye, what good is it if you do this?"

"I am a servant of the Second Duke, so I think the Second Duke will not treat me badly. Hehe, Taifu Yuan just said that he wanted me to avenge him, and I took revenge for him... Next, I will seek benefits. As for whether the Han Dynasty can be revived, What does it have to do with me?"

This guy is really a villain!
Li Jue and Guo Si muttered to themselves, but there was a smile on his face.

"Gongye, tell me, what should we do?"

"First, kill Dong Zhuo immediately to prevent nights from having more dreams; second, notify Chang'an as soon as possible, mobilize troops and horses, and join forces with Ma Teng to attack Anding. Zhang Miao will definitely deal with Niu Fu; third, I know that the second lord has great authority. , when controlling Luoyang soldiers and horses."

Li Jue raised his hand, "Wait a minute, Xu Rong, the leader of the Peking University battalion, is loyal to Dong Zhuo and will not obey."

"Then kill it..."

What Zheng Tai said was understatement, but it aroused Li Jue and Guo Si's murderous intent.

The two thought for a while, "If that's the case, let's act tonight."

"I would like to lead the way for Ergong..."

Li Jue said: "I can do this alone, and there are many. You take my badge and go to the southeast camp. Li Li, the leader of the southeast camp, is my confidant. You can order him to contact Wu immediately. Xi, join forces to attack the North Camp, and must kill Xu Rong... As for Han Meng, he is just a reckless man, so there is nothing to worry about. But Li Tong and Yang Ding... It doesn't matter, even if they get the news, from Xingyang and Yangdi to Luo Yang, it will take ten days at least, we can use this to control Luo Yang."

Guo Si listened and nodded in agreement.

******
It's been one more day, and Dong Zhuo hasn't rested yet.

Inside the Grand Master's Mansion, it was very quiet.

Dong Zhuo was holding a memorial, frowning...

All right, why did Cao Cao suddenly station troops in Pinggao?Logically speaking, it was Yuan Shao's territory, and it seemed abnormal for him to do so.What the hell, is Cao Cao using troops against Yuan Shao, or is he planning to use troops against me?
If it is to use troops against Yuan Shao, that would be the best!
I have long been displeased with the Yuan family, but I never thought that this guy would occupy Jizhou and stabilize his footing so quickly.

Well, it's best to fight between the two sides, and the fight will kill you, and I will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Han Meng's memorial came a bit late, and Li Ru was busy with Yuan'er's delivery these two days, so it was hard for me to find him.

Forget it, let's ask again tomorrow.

Just as he was about to go to rest, he heard footsteps outside the door.

Looking up, it was Dong Min.Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "Shuying, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Hehe, I just had a nightmare, my eyelids twitched and I couldn't fall asleep."

Dong Min said, and walked into the hall.

Seeing the horizontal knife standing beside Dong Zhuo's grand teacher's chair, he couldn't help taking it and playing with it in his hand.

The horizontal knife is about five feet seven inches long, with a cold light shining.

Two lines of small characters are engraved on the spine of the knife: Daddy's sword is not old, and the horse will ride the Guandong in the future.

This is after Dong Zhuo's great victory in Shuofang, he selected the best horizontal knife from the troll warrior's equipment and sent someone to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo couldn't put it down for this horizontal knife.

The horizontal knife is heavy, and it feels very textured in the hand.Of course, the most important thing is the two lines on the spine of the knife, expressing Dong Bi's filial piety.

Dong Min picked up the knife, feeling a little sour in his heart.

The children of the second elder brother's family are really promising, why don't I have such a son.

Although Dong Min is in his early fifties, he still has no heirs.Hua Tuo diagnosed and treated him, saying that he was injured in his early years and lost his vitality.Although it is possible to have sex, it is difficult to have offspring.Dong Min heard that Dong Bi had another child, and was thinking about discussing it with Dong Zhuo. It would be better if he could adopt one in the future, even if he was a grandson.

"Second brother, you are really blessed. Every time I see this knife, my heart..."

Dong Zhuo couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, "Third brother's words are a little tasteful. Hehe, I understand what you're thinking. I'll talk to Ah Chou later. That child is very filial, so I think he won't refuse. When the time comes we Let's go back to Lintao and let the horse ride freely."

"Yes, yes!"

Dong Min put the horizontal knife back into its sheath and returned it to Dong Zhuo.

Standing up, "This man is getting old, but his energy is getting worse and worse. Second brother, you should also go to bed earlier, I will go back to sleep first."

"Alright, I'm getting ready to rest too."

While the two brothers were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

Dong Zhuo frowned, thinking: Who is making noise outside in the middle of the night?
"Second brother, just sit down, I'll go out and have a look..."

Dong Min said and walked out.

After a while, a series of screams came from outside the hall, Dong Zhuo's heart was shaken, he stood up and walked out.

Before he walked out of the hall, he saw bright lights outside the hall.

A group of men and horses broke into the Yimen Gate, with bright armor, swords and guns at the same time, and the cold light was shining.

"You..." Dong Zhuo couldn't react for a while, and looked at the soldiers in surprise.Before he could finish speaking, a dozen soldiers surrounded the two of them and walked into the yard.Dong Zhuo frowned, and recognized the leader at a glance.

"Zhiran, what do you mean?"

Holding the handle of the horizontal knife, Dong Zhuo was a little flustered, but he seemed very calm.

Li Jue was wearing armor, and the sword in his hand was stained with blood. Under the light of the fire, he smiled grimly: "There is no one else, so I came here to ask the Grand Master for a way out."

I was shocked again, did the news leak out?
Dong Zhuo glanced sideways at Zheng Tai behind Li Jue, and in an instant, everything became clear.

Is it Zheng Tai?
It's this person?

Not hesitating to turn against the scholars of the world, could it be that he is dead...

No wonder Li Ru couldn't find out the whereabouts of Shi Jian, if it was Zheng Tai, then everything would be clear.Zheng Tai bowed slightly, "Please don't blame the Grand Master for disturbing you in the middle of the night."

"It's you?"

"It's the next official!"

"Why do you do this?"

"Without him, I just feel that the Grand Master is unfair to the two generals..."

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Li Jue, are you going to kill me?"

Li Jue said coldly: "It's not that I want to kill the grand master, it's the grand master who won't tolerate him, so I came here today to send the grand master respectfully on the road."

"Then let's see if you have the ability."

The blood on Li Jue's sharp sword clearly indicated Dong Min's fate.

Dong Zhuoqiang pulled out the horizontal saber, holding the saber in his hand, with a proud posture.Although I haven't fought against anyone for many years, but with this precious sword, it is like fighting side by side with my son.

My son is a god of killing, how can I lose to him as an old man.

With a roar of a tiger, Dong Zhuo swung his saber and rushed towards Li Jue.The soldiers under Li Jue swarmed up, swords and guns at the same time...

If Dong Zhuo used other weapons, it would be hard to say.

But this horizontal knife is produced by Zhangye, it is most suitable for people with strong strength.The broadsword waved one after another, with flashes of cold light, only the sound of clicking and clicking, and the weapons attacking Dong Zhuo were chopped into two pieces one after another.

In an instant, Dong Zhuo seemed to have regained his heroic status, like a fierce tiger.

Even though Li Jue had so many under his command, Dong Zhuo couldn't stop Dong Zhuo's desperate efforts for a while.

Even Li Jue didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be so brave. In the blink of an eye, Dong Zhuo cut a bloody path and slashed towards Li Jue.

At this time, there were constant shouts and killings in the Grand Master's Mansion, and the flames shot up into the sky.

Luoyang City is calm now, and there are not too many guards arranged in the Grand Master's Mansion.In addition to the sudden arrival of Li Jue, the sleeping guards hadn't figured out what was going on, so they ran out in a hurry and were killed by Li Jue's men on the spot.

Li Jue raised his sword to respond, but was locked by the serrated edge of the horizontal knife. Dong Zhuo twisted his body, and Li Jue's sword broke immediately.

The horizontal knife swept across, rolling up a pool of blood, almost cutting Li Jue in half.

Li Jue screamed in fright, and stepped back.

"Zheng Gongye, take your life..."

Dong Zhuo forced Li Jue back and rushed towards Zheng Tai.Don't look at Zheng Tai's mighty performance in front of Li Jue, but in front of Dong Zhuo, he is as timid as a mouse.

"Dong thief, don't be rampant..."

Suddenly a person flashed out from behind Zheng Tai, stabbing with a straight sword.

That sword light flickered, very strange.Dong Zhuo was caught off guard and was stabbed in the shoulder...

But the pain made Dong Zhuo become more vicious, he grabbed the sword with one hand, and chopped the man to the ground with his backhand.

"Woof..."

Zheng Tai couldn't help screaming, causing Dong Zhuo to rush towards him.

However, he was blocked by Li Jue who was slowing down, and Dong Zhuo left Zheng Tai and stood with Li Jue.

After all, he is old and has been pampered for many years. Dong Zhuo, a ranger back then, no longer exists.

Zheng Tai said coldly at the side: "Tie Dong, you may not know... Hehe, I have arranged for Hongnong Sima and Huayin Yang to ambush your butcher son on the way. Presumably your precious son is dead now Nothing."

"You bullshit!"

Dong Zhuo's mind suddenly became confused, and as soon as the saber skills were scattered, the surrounding soldiers stabbed with guns, and four or five hardwood spears pierced Dong Zhuo's body.

The severe pain caused Dong Zhuo to roar, and swung his knife to cut off the spear.

"My lion, how can I be framed by you..."

Before he knew it, Dong Zhuo had already reached the door of Yi.At this moment, the streets are full of people brought by Li Ru.

A bell rang, and someone shouted: "Get out of the way!"

A pure white Dawan horse rushed out from the crowd and arrived in front of Dong Zhuo in the blink of an eye.Immediately, the young general, the spear was fast and the horse was fast, and the big gun flicked like a dragon going out to sea, knocking Dong Zhuo's horizontal knife away with a clang, and nailing Dong Zhuo to the door frame with one shot.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen spears protruded from the surroundings, piercing Dong Zhuo's body.

Dong Zhuo was covered in blood, looked at the young general on the white horse in front of him, and suddenly saw Zhanyan showing a bright smile: "My lion, I will never let you go..."

The young white horse general's expression changed, and he suddenly drew his big gun.

Dong Zhuo fell straight in a pool of blood, Li Jue's own soldiers swarmed up and cut Dong Zhuo's body.

After hearing Dong Zhuo's last words, Li Jue couldn't help but shudder.

"Zheng Tai, are you sure the Dong family is dead?"

Zheng Tai sneered and said, "Zhiran, what are you afraid of? The Jingzhao soldiers and horses all belong to you, do you think that Dong Xiping can really hit [-] by himself?"

Li Jue couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this.

"Then what should I do next?"

"Since cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, don't forget that there are still remnants of the Dong family in the Hussar General's mansion... Even if Dong Xiping doesn't die, I just need to take down his family. Isn't Dong Xiping obediently submitting? General Li , fame and fortune are right in front of you, if you miss it, you will never have another chance..."

Although Zheng Tai's voice was small, it was in his ears.

Li Jue is now too hard to get off.

He ordered someone to bring the horse over, and after getting on the horse, he swung his sword with one blow: "Fame and wealth are just now, sons and daughters, follow me into the Hussar General's mansion and capture Dong's family alive!"

------------

Huh, there should be [-] words, the last update of this month, by the way, please ask for a monthly pass tomorrow.
