Outside the city, the Xiliang army camp.
Dong Zhuo was not in a good mood these days.
To be more specific, several soldiers have been beheaded by him on the spot because they offended him over some trivial matters.
But it is understandable. After all, if his brother was killed or his granddaughter was kidnapped, he would be in a bad mood.
How can others understand Mr. Dong's pain, so he can only vent his anger by killing those ignorant soldiers.
After the news came from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's first reaction was that he didn't believe it, and he even wanted to kill the soldier who sent the message on the spot as an enemy spy.
Just kidding, Luoyang is guarded by Wenyou, how could anything go wrong? This must be a treacherous plot by the Kwantung bandits, trying to demoralize our military!
But... the last signature on this letter was Li Ru.
After reading it more than ten times, Dong Zhuo finally accepted the reality, and then he became furious and resolutely killed the soldier who sent the message with his own hands.
Immediately afterwards, when several soldiers came in to dispose of the body, they were killed because they entered the tent with their left foot first.
After killing several people with his own hands, Dong Zhuo sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, as if all his strength had been drained out, but with burning hatred and malice in his eyes.
Guandong family, I have no enmity or enmity with you, why are you plotting against me, why!
There is also Cai Yong, who is also a wolf-hearted person. I treat him like a guest, but he harmed my brother's life.
This hatred is irreconcilable!
Until this time, Li Rushang did not know that Zhang Heng existed. He only knew that Zhang Wen and Xun Shuang ran away together, so he logically placed the blame on the heads of the Guandong nobles.
He couldn't be wrong in his calculation. After all, Zhang Heng was born in the Zhang family of Nanyang and was considered a noble family.
In a rage, Mr. Dong's first thought was to immediately lead his army back to Luoyang and massacre all the high-ranking families in the court!
It is unreasonable for you to claim to be a pure and upright gentleman, but you act like this. I was deceived by you in the first place, so I released the Guandong bandits as officials, but in the end, they all jumped out to oppose me!
What are you doing in the world with all these stupid people?
I want to see if you can maintain your aloof face when the butcher's knife falls!
Dong Zhuo did indeed do this. After all, even if this incident hadn't happened, he would have had to teach the class, so it should have been a few days in advance.
But after calming down, in order to prevent the Kanto princes from taking the opportunity to leave the city to pursue him, he decided to withdraw his troops slowly.
At present, Mr. Dong can be said to have decided to leave, and no one can keep him.
Until...a letter of challenge was handed to his desk.
"ah!"
After reading the letter, Dong Zhuo went crazy on the spot, roared and tore the letter of challenge into pieces, but still couldn't forgive his hatred. He kicked the desk down and became a table-cleaning master before he gave up.
"Bitch thief, you and I are at odds with each other!"
Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and roared angrily, his eyes full of tears.
It's not that Dong Zhuo easily breaks through his defenses, but that Xun You's writing style is so good and his words are so lethal.
In the letter, he not only described the death of Dong Min in detail, but also clearly stated the number of arrows, leaving only the place of origin of the arrows.
As for Dong Bai, since Xun You tacitly regarded him as Zhang Heng's concubine, he did not dare to write more and could only sketch a few sentences.
But these few strokes were enough to make Dong Zhuo's blood pressure break through the Tianling Cap.
His brother, who was usually bold and generous, was now killed by thousands of arrows. When he thought of that scene, Dong Zhuo was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
And my poor granddaughter, who is usually pampered, cute and cute, is now being humiliated by thieves and bandits, and her final end is not death.
"The Guandong bandits... I swear to kill you all!"
Dong Zhuo let out a hysterical roar.
Walk?
What the hell, send out troops and kill them!
At this time, the soldiers guarding outside the tent heard the noise and thought Dong Zhuo was in danger, so they rushed in. But he saw the mess all over the ground and Dong Zhuo sitting on the ground.
"Xiangguo!"
The soldiers rushed forward and tried to help Dong Zhuo up.
"It turns out there's nothing wrong!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, refused the support of his soldiers, and then slowly stood up.
Facing Dong Zhuo's selective and devouring gaze, the soldiers couldn't help but think of the soldiers who had been killed in the past few days, and they were horrified. However, they did not dare to make the slightest move, so they could only secretly pray to Dong Zhuo not to go on a killing spree.
It seemed that God heard their prayers. The heartbroken Dong Zhuo did not kill anyone. Instead, he waved his sleeves and said: "Send the order to summon the generals to discuss matters in the tent. Anyone who fails to do so within half an hour will be killed!"
As the last word came out of his mouth, Dong Zhuo's voice was filled with murderous intent.
The reason why I killed people before to vent my anger was because the troops were going to withdraw anyway, so it didn't matter how many people they killed. But now that Dong Zhuo has decided to fight the Kwantung princes, he naturally cannot shake the morale of the army.
"As you command!"
The soldiers quickly responded with clasped fists and left as if running away.
Dong Zhuo also ordered his soldiers to lift up the table, and then sat in the tent with a golden sword, waiting for the arrival of the generals.
The Xiliang army had very strict military orders, and in less than three quarters of an hour, all the generals had arrived.
But when everyone saw that Dong Zhuo's face was ashen, they all too wisely did not dare to speak.
The last one to arrive was Dong Huang. He didn't have so many scruples. As soon as he came in, he asked, "Uncle, why are you summoning the generals today?"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand, indicating that he should return to his position first, and then slowly said: "The thieves in the city have come down to write a letter of defence, inviting me to a decisive battle tomorrow. How do you think we will deal with the enemy?"
Hearing this, all the generals looked shocked.
"The enemy army, which has been huddled for a month, is finally willing to come out! Uncle, where is the letter of war?" Dong Huang said in surprise.
How could Dong Zhuo make the contents of the letter public, so he just nodded and did not answer Dong Huang's question, but turned his attention to the generals.
Li Jue was the first to stand up, clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, we have been besieging the city for a month, but the Guandong bandits were like cowardly turtles, but they dared not come out. Now, they suddenly issued a letter of challenge. The general is worried about fraud. Furthermore, the army I have already packed my bags and prepared for the class, but it is difficult to change my orders day and night. So I thought that I shouldn’t go out this time..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dong Zhuo waving his sleeves.
Then, Dong Zhuo looked at him with serious eyes.
"The truth is that I asked you how to deal with the enemy, not whether you want to send troops."
Listening to Dong Zhuo's seemingly calm words, Li Jue was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The last general made a mistake, please forgive me!"
Dong Zhuo then waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and then looked at the rest of the people.
At this time, everyone came to their senses.
Daqing Xiangguo doesn't know what kind of stimulation he got, but he has already made up his mind to fight to the death with the Guandong bandits, right?
Seeing that Li Jue failed to realize his intention, Lu Bu chose to seize the opportunity on the spot, stood up and clasped his fists loudly and said: "Father, I think this is a great happy event! If the Guandong bandits retreat into the city, we can't do anything to them. But now they are He dared to go out of the city to fight his adoptive father, which was simply asking for death.
The child is willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard and annihilate the bandits for his adoptive father! "
"Okay, I'm brave enough to grant you your request!"
Dong Zhuo slapped the table, stood up and shouted: "Generals, listen to the order, and tomorrow we will mobilize all our elite troops to fight against the thieves!"
"As you command!"
The generals quickly stood up and responded.
