This night.
It seemed to be over quickly.
At least for Gongsun Zan, the message may have been received later.
When they arrived, they didn't even see Dong Zhuo. They were shocked to see the corpses of Xiliang warriors all over the place, as well as the generals from various princes and generals who were pursued by Jiang Yue and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. This was like this.
But this night seemed difficult to end.
Because since Jiang Yue cut off the head and raised it in front of many people, shouting "Kill Dong Zhuo", Cao Ying Jiang Yue also had time.
The era of Dong Zhuo, who once covered the sky with one hand and overpowered the emperor with his power, forcing all princes to cooperate, was over.
A new night begins.
This night.
It unfolded faster than anyone could have imagined, and more shockingly than anyone could have imagined.
At least it must have shocked Yuan Shao.
The sun is rising.
Yuan Shao, who had not slept all night, opened his bloodshot eyes wide.
He looked at Wen Chou, who had also stayed up all night and was running in both directions, killing two horses before rushing back as quickly as possible, with hesitation and confusion on his face.
It was as if he didn't understand what he said just now when he was breathing heavily.
Just stared at him blankly.
It’s not just Yuan Shao.
Even Tian Feng, a top strategist known for his loyalty, strength, intelligence and scheming, had the same expression as Yuan Shao at this moment.
Chunyu Qiong, Han Meng, Jushou, Xu You, Shen Pei and other world-famous civil servants and military generals beside them were as silent as death.
Also staring straight at him without making a sound.
"Lord!"
Feeling the gazes from all around, even the brave Wen Chou couldn't help but swallow, and then he clenched his fists and said hoarsely:
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"When Jiang Yue faced Dong Zhuo's thousands of Xiliang iron hoofs, he not only refused to flee, but dispersed the army and hid by the river with only a dozen people."
"Then he dared to attack and kill Dong Zhuo with a curved bow on his back, a spear in his hand, and a sword at his waist. He was incredibly brave!"
"But...he actually got away with it!"
Speaking of which.
Wen Chou gritted his teeth and lowered his head, saying nothing.
He didn't need to look at the changes in the civil and military affairs around him to know how frightened and stunned everyone was at this moment.
He also knew how turbulent his lord's mind would be.
Dong Zhuo is dead.
The world's greatest hero and thief is dead.
At the same time, he is also the only prince in the world who can completely suppress his lord in terms of military strength and situation. He is dead!
This was supposed to be a quickie.
This should have been a happy event for Yuan Shao's camp that would make the whole camp excited!
But now the problem is.
Dong Zhuo died in the hands of Jiang Yue...
The other princes may not know how much effort Yuan Shao put in to kill Dong Zhuo, let alone the people in the world.
The main route of the eighteen princes is Yuan Shao.
It was Yuan Shao who persuaded Wang Yun to sow discord with Lu Bu and used the beauty trick.
Even after the last alliance between princes.
It was Yuan Shao who gathered the most troops, dispatched the most cavalry, and forced Dong Zhuo to abandon the camp and flee at great cost.
but now.
All this has no meaning anymore.
because.
No matter how hard Yuan Shao tried.
Everyone in the world will only remember one sentence.
That is.
The one who killed Dong Zhuo was Cao Ying and Jiang Yue! ! !
The princes of the Eighteenth Route are not as good as Cao Ying, and Yuan Shao and his subordinates and generals are not as good as Jiang Yue in their desperate calculations and conquests!
All the preparations were made for Jiang Yue's wedding dress at this moment.
Can everyone in Yuan Shao's camp not be angry? !
"Dong is a thief!"
"There are thousands of Xiliang cavalry with no way to retreat. I dare not send people to stop them desperately, but he can't even kill a single Jiang Yue, but he is killed by him?!"
"He is simply an ordinary man among ordinary men. It was useless for me to leave him there!"
"And that Jiang Yue...that Jiang Yue again!"
"Killed my two great generals Yan Liang and Qu Yi, humiliated my army in front of the eighteen princes, and now I don't care if I die, but I actually got Dong Zhuo's head?"
"Cao Cao wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo a few years ago. Even if he failed and fled elsewhere, he was able to summon such a huge army in the name of becoming a prince, and countless loyal and brave civil servants joined him."
"now."
"He killed Dong Zhuo in front of the princes and generals."
"Wouldn't everyone in the world regard him as a loyal and brave general, making him famous throughout the world and powerful throughout the world?"
Yuan Shao was holding a long sword in his hand, his voice was full of complete hatred, and his eyes were scanning the surrounding generals.
He really wished he could send his army to kill Jiang Yue now.
Because what he regretted most at this time was that when the eighteen princes gathered together, he did not take action because of his face.
Otherwise, how could it be as strong as it is now?
But now.
Jiang Yue beheaded Dong Zhuo and was already the greatest contributor to the world's military force defending the emperor.
If you want to kill him again, it will not be a matter of losing face, but you will be criticized by all the people in the world who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and you will lose the hearts of the people!
"Lord."
Faced with such a situation, even Tian Feng sighed deeply and said:
"At this point, it is a foregone conclusion that Jiang Yue will become famous all over the world. We can no longer touch him."
"Then what else can we do?"
Yuan Shao looked at him angrily when he heard this. It was Tian Feng who proposed to use Dong Zhuo's hand to kill Jiang Yue in the first place!
Tian Feng sighed again after hearing this.
When setting up this plan, who would have thought that Jiang Yue could really kill Dong Zhuo, who was already a desperate wolf?
Is it possible that Jiang Yue really has some destiny?
How else could he be so brave? !
However, after a moment of silence, Tian Feng collected his emotions and said:
"Killing Thief Dong is indeed an unparalleled achievement in the world today."
"But I still have one more merit, which can make my lord's merits surpass those of others, and make him the best in the world in terms of fame and power!"
"Um?!"
Yuan Shao was startled when he heard this and looked back blankly.
He couldn't imagine it.
In today's world, what deeds can be compared to such a great achievement as crossing the Yangtze River and killing the Dong thief?
When Tian Feng saw this, he didn't hide much. He just uttered two words: "Emperor!"
call!
As soon as these two words came out.
Yuan Shao, Wen Chou and others hesitated for a moment, but then their eyes flashed with light at the same time.
Emperor!
Today, all heroes are rising together, but so what?
Even if Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao are powerful, they are still just princes!
Why?
Because there is an emperor above you!
Although the eunuchs gained power and Dong Zhuo took charge of the dynasty, everyone knew that the emperor no longer had real power, but who dared to truly usurp the emperor's power?
The merit of killing Dong Zhuo is indeed great, but don’t forget that there is no greater merit than the savior!
Not to mention.
Given the current situation, what Tian Feng proposed was not just a savior.
But... holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!
Since the princes are still just princes, they are the ministers under the emperor.
As long as the emperor can be held in his hands, then who has the merit and who is guilty? Isn’t it the person who holds the emperor who has the final say?
So what if Dong Zhuo is killed?
If I say your sin is unpardonable, then it means your sin is unpardonable. If you are given death, you should die!
Not convinced?
Then let the weapons speak for themselves!
Anyway, I have the emperor’s edict in my hand, so it’s reasonable for me to want to kill you!
"Yes! Emperor!"
After thinking about things clearly, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with murderous intent again.
At this time, in his heart, Jiang Yue could no longer let him grow, but he could not kill him without permission.
This way.
It is up to the emperor to boost his reputation.
At that time, the emperor's edict will first be used to appease Jiang Yue's credit for killing Dong Zhuo, and then find a reason for Cao Cao to hand him over. If he doesn't hand him over, he will have more reason to attack Cao Cao!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao nodded decisively to Tian Feng without any hesitation.
When Tian Feng saw this, he immediately understood and went out directly to deliver the military order.
The army marches on.
Target, Emperor!
But what he didn't know was that Cao's camp also issued a military order before him.
