The tiger's gaze has no strong opponent, and the owl's ambition is to usurp.
The poor candle in the navel does not illuminate the gold in the dock.
----------"One Hundred Miscellaneous Odes to Dong Zhuo" by Liu Kezhuang of the Song Dynasty
It is said that Chen Long still pretended to be Yan Baihu and went to Wenling to persuade Wang Yun. Unfortunately, Wang Yun's ambition has not been fulfilled, and the drama has taken a shocking turn, causing him to grow old overnight, doing nothing every day, and waiting to die. Chen Long's words revived his heart, and he wrote a letter to Shi Sunrui to obey Yan Baihu's arrangement.
After Shi Sunrui received the letter, he burst into tears when he thought of Wang Yun's kindness in the past. After the grief, his hatred for the Dong thief came back to his heart, and he made an agreement with "Yan Baihu" to use flags and artillery as a signal to attack the Taishi Mansion at the same time.
In the early morning, there was no moon, and the sky was dark. Samoko led the Wuxi elite soldiers and came to the Taishi Mansion to approach. Finally, Li Su's night patrol team discovered his whereabouts. Shamoko no longer hesitated and knocked over the soldiers who found him with an iron caltrop. At the same time, he raised his hand and fired a flag artillery piece. The artillery exploded like thunder at high altitude, marking the beginning of the siege of the Grand Master's Mansion.
Li Ru knew that there were fighting on all sides, Luoyang's troops were almost exhausted, and there were few soldiers in the city, so he paid great attention to the troops suspected of rebellion in the city, especially Sun Rui, the only scholar with 5,000 people. I got a detailed report today. After someone visited Shisun Rui, it seems that Shisun Rui went to the outside of the palace to organize his troops. He had a premonition that Shisun Rui would take action, so he ordered Niu Fu to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to ambush Shisun Rui's troops and the Taishi Mansion. On the road between them, only two thousand elite soldiers were left to guard the Taishi Mansion. Li Su was also ordered to strengthen curfew road patrols and be on standby to rush to the Taishi Mansion at any time. He thought he was foolproof, but Li Ru was not a god after all. Even though there were already 10,000 elite Azure Dragons hidden underground in Luoyang, Chen Long, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was leading the team himself.
The 8,000 Wuxi disciples led by Shamoko were all equipped with scimitars and strong crossbows. They were not afraid of death. After the siege, they stormed the Taishi Mansion and fought a bloody battle with 2,000 guards. Niu Fu was shocked when he heard the news and did not care about Sun Rui's troops behind him. Chasing him, he hurried back to help, but Shamoko used an iron caltrop bone to break the armor on his back and fell to his horse. Another shot killed the owl. At this time, Niu Fujun was on the verge of collapse under the double blow of Shisun Rui and Samoko's troops, and the Taishi Mansion was in danger.
At this moment, Li Su's five thousand Xiliang cavalry rushed to the rescue all the way along the official road. The sound of horse hooves sounded like a heavy rain, and they broke through a gap with force. The gate of the Grand Master's Mansion suddenly opened, and several tall horses leaped out. In the light of the fire, only I saw one of them with a fat body, a gray beard, a golden armor, and a long spear in his hand. He was the arrogant Grand Master Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying. The faces of the remaining people could not be seen clearly, and Li Ru must be among them.
When Dong Zhuo was young, he was a leader in Xiliang. He was outstanding in martial arts, extremely powerful, and skilled in bow and horse. However, he was old and obese; he drank too much and lacked exercise, so he ran out of breath and carried the horse on his crotch. He was covered in fat, and he was roaring as he ran, spitting out white air.
Li Su took the lead, waving his sword to clear the way, blocking arrows, and sweeping away the heavy infantry encirclement. The Xiliang cavalry sandwiched Dong Zhuo's horse and charged towards the south city gate. As long as they rushed out of the south city gate, they would be more than thirty miles away from the nearest Li Meng troops. There were also Zhang Liao's troops on the flanks. When the time came, they would counterattack Luoyang. It’s not too late to take revenge today.
Unfortunately, although his idea was good, how could Chen Long allow Dong Zhuo to escape easily? Originally, Shamoko's infantry was divided into several layers. At this time, Shisun Rui's troops came from the outside, and they strangled Li Su's troops heavily. Although Li Su was a cavalryman, he could not withstand the superiority of the opponent's infantry. The streets were covered with layers of streets. It was very difficult for Li Su to take a step forward.
After being able to break through the several layers of troops of Shamoko and Shisun Rui, only less than a few hundred cavalry were left. Most of the rest were buried in the encirclement. The rest knelt down and asked to surrender. The situation was very tragic. Li Su was covered in blood, and the steel knife hit the curled edge. Suddenly, the pressure eased, and he saw that there was no one on the street in front of him, and he was only a few hundred feet away from the south city gate. He said happily: "Lord, follow me!"
Dong Zhuo swung his arms and ran with Li Su, trying to escape through the city gate. Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the side alley: "Don't leave, Mr. Dong, a certain family has been waiting for you for a long time! Take your life!"
A dark figure dismounted from a tall warhorse, holding a long-handled steel gun. Behind him were two thousand Wuxi elites who had been lying in wait for a long time. They poured out from the side alley, blocking the path of Dong Zhuo's remaining soldiers with a black pressure. Dong Zhuo and Li Su were already exhausted. When they suddenly saw ambushes everywhere, they were stunned with fear. They hurriedly reined in their horses and gasped for breath. Li Su shouted loudly and was about to step forward to fight for his life. Suddenly Dong Zhuo stopped and shouted: "Is this General White Tiger on the other side? It's you?!"
Opposite him was Chen Long, who was still pretending to be Yan Baihu. Chen Long didn't want to reveal his identity, so he still pretended to be Yan Baihu and made a surprise attack on Luoyang. In this way, Chen Long himself can temporarily stay out of the matter, and will not immediately become the target of public criticism. He can continue to seek time and space for development. This is also a strategy that he and Xi Zhicai made before coming to Luoyang.
When Dong Zhuo saw the outline of Yan Baihu, he said with a cry: "It is indeed General Baihu! I asked myself that I have always treated you well, why did you turn against me?" Seeing "Yan Baihu" was speechless, he thought he could persuade him, and said sadly: "White Tiger" , you must have been deceived by others and thought that I was disloyal, so you led your troops here to rebel against me. I hereby swear to the Heavenly Alliance that if you can let me go today, I will willingly hand over all my military power to you, general, and return the favor. In front of Emperor Xian, how about I protect you as a general, and together we can protect the Han Dynasty and the country?"
Seeing "Yan Baihu" still not talking or smiling, Dong Zhuo even pointed at the sky and the earth, frothing at the mouth. Chen Long tightened his steel gun and let out a metallic scream. He pointed at Dong Zhuo and said: "Dong thief! It's okay if you don't mention Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. If you mention my emperor, I will want to skin you! You have all the power in the government and the public. It's fine if you refuse to worship the emperor and usurp the emperor's clothes and vehicles, but you should not abolish the emperor without permission, murder ministers, carry out white terror, and treat all officials as nothing! How can Wang Yun deserve to be demoted by you just because his righteous daughter disappeared? Going to see the grave? The concubines in the harem are about to be raped by you! I won’t kill you, and I swear I won’t be a human being!”
Li Su didn't wait for Chen Long to finish, knowing that he would not let the grand master go, he shouted loudly and rushed towards him with his sword, which was quite heroic. The remaining few hundred cavalrymen, mixed with the dejected Dong Zhuo, rushed towards Chen Long, intending to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Chen Long waited for Li Su to rush to his side, and his motionless hand finally exploded, and the steel spear came up like a rain of rain. Li Su had no idea that Chen Long's spear skills were so exquisite, so he had to use all his strength to cover his vitals, only to hear the continuous sound of puff, puff, puff, and Li Su There were several transparent holes on his shoulders, arms, and thighs. He screamed repeatedly, and he abandoned his sword and turned over. Li Su's cavalry behind wanted to dismount and rescue him, but he had already been made dumplings by the two thousand elites who came from behind Chen Long. Poor Li Su, although he was brave, was trampled into mud by the soldiers and horses in the chaos.
Chen Long only stared at Dong Zhuo's fat body to prevent him from escaping in the chaos. Seeing that he was looking crazy, with his long branches flying, and fighting to the death, he shouted: "Whoever surrenders will avoid death! Whoever surrenders will avoid death! Only the first culprit will be pursued, and the rest will live!"
Li Su's remaining few hundred cavalrymen lost even more fighting spirit and dismounted one after another and surrendered. In the end, only Dong Zhuo was left, panting and staring at "Yan Baihu" across from him. If eyes could kill, "Yan Baihu" would have died a thousand times over.
Chen Long crossed his spear and leapt on his horse, and came to Dong Zhuo, looking into Dong Zhuo's eyes with pity. Dong Zhuo's wolf-like eyes suddenly shed a few tears and said: "White Tiger, for the sake of my special regard for you in the past, spare my life. I am willing to surrender, find a place to die, and never care about the world again, okay?"
Chen Long said: "Everyone can surrender, but you can't. You can only die. For the sake of your past love for me, I will treat your family well and give you a fair chance to fight. If you win with the gun in my hand, you will die." Let you get out of Luoyang alive."
Seeing that Chen Long was not surrendered, Dong Zhuo showed his wolf face again, waved his long spear, and cursed: "Yan Baihu! There is a white-eyed wolf like you in the world! Even if I die today, I will take your head first!"
Chen Long danced the moon wheel with his steel gun, and laughed loudly: "Okay! This is the overlord of Xiliang! The moon is dark tonight and the wind is high, so let me send you to death!"
