After Lu Bu disappeared, no one noticed at all.
Many soldiers focused their attention on how to kill Lin Mu.
The fighting continued until dawn the next day. After dawn, these Xiliang soldiers discovered that there were already mountains of corpses here.
Lin Mu stood at the top of the corpse mountain and chopped a soldier into pieces.
In this mountain of corpses, there were not only the corpses of soldiers, but also the corpses of generals.
The officials had already known that a fight was taking place ahead, but they never knew who was fighting.
In order to avoid affecting themselves, these officials actually ran away.
After dawn, they discovered that the person who fought with Dong Zhuo's army last night was actually the emperor.
How awesome is this!
Everyone hurriedly stood on the spot and observed the battlefield.
What does the emperor's life and death have to do with them?
Even if the emperor dies, aren't they still officials?
In this case, why worry about the emperor?
Wouldn't it be better to let the emperor and the Xiliang soldiers fight to the death?
But soon they were surprised to find that Dong Zhuo's general Dong Yue had died at the feet of Lin Mu.
Dong Yue has been appointed as the leading general. If there are no accidents, he should be fighting against the eighteen princes now.
But now the vanguard army Hu Zhen led a group of generals to Hulao Pass to resist many princes, but the general Dong Yue died in Luoyang City, or even died under the emperor's axe.
"what is that?"
An officer pointed to a driver lying on the ground and shouted to the others.
"Is that... Dong... a thief?"
Although Dong Zhuo's head has been chopped off by a forest tree, his carriage is so gorgeous that many people can recognize him.
Just like some modern people can recognize a luxury car that has been soaked in floods.
The body of Dong Zhuo, who was wearing luxurious clothes in the car, was naturally recognized by everyone.
Not only the officials saw it, but also the Xiliang soldiers.
When the soldiers saw everything in the city clearly, their morale had already begun to decline.
The generals who drove them forward began to leave slowly after they found that they could not defeat Lin Mu after a night of attacking.
As these generals began to disappear, the soldiers also began to flee.
When the soldiers began to run away, the number of soldiers rushing toward the forest began to decrease rapidly, and finally they dispersed like birds and beasts.
If Lin Mu had killed Dong Zhuo in a sneak attack, it would have been impossible for these soldiers and the generals in Dong Zhuo's army to leave like this.
They would plunder the entire Luoyang, then control the emperor and officials, and seize the people for themselves.
But now Lin Mu killed Dong Zhuo directly in front of them.
They even fought with them for a night without falling. Such a person was beyond their imagination.
They could only flee without their armor, and did not dare to stay in Luoyang City for any longer.
Two days later, news of Dong Zhuo's murder began to spread. Among the first to receive the news were the eighteen princes who confronted Hu Zhen in front of Hulao Pass.
In front of Hulao Pass, the eighteen princes were having a banquet in the tent, when suddenly a messenger rushed into the camp.
"What? Dong Zhuo is dead? The emperor killed him with his own hands among the thousands of troops? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yuan Shao looked at the messenger in front of him, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.
It's not like Yuan Shao has never seen Liu Bian before. In Yuan Shao's impression, Liu Bian was very thin and weak in character.
How is it possible that such a man killed Dong Zhuo in the midst of thousands of troops and was still safe?
After Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately stood up and reprimanded.
"Nonsense! The Xiliang tigers and wolves, although they are rebellious ministers and traitors, are not silverfish. Dong Zhuo is a very human being, otherwise I would have cut off his head that day to achieve meritorious service."
After he ran away from Luoyang, he spread the news everywhere that he had sacrificed his life to assassinate Dong.
He didn't finish his career, but someone else did it for him. Isn't this a slap in the face?
The rest of the princes were like this and expressed that it was impossible.
The messenger was absolutely certain.
"It is indeed true at this time. Niu Fu and Dong Zhuo were killed in public. The remaining generals Zhang Ji fled in panic. Fan Chou, Guo Si and other generals were all killed. Now the Xiliang rebels have been killed by the remaining Xiliang generals. He fled from the capital with him, and this is the evidence!"
The messenger said as he took out something from his back.
Everyone hurriedly surrounded it, and after the ordering soldiers opened it, everyone discovered that it turned out to be a human head.
This human head was extremely broken, and the flesh and blood on it had been almost eaten away by something, but a small half of the face was still on it.
"This is……"
After Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked carefully, they discovered that the head turned out to be Dong Zhuo's head.
Yuan Shao pointed at the head and asked in a trembling voice.
"This...this is..."
The messenger hurriedly said.
"The emperor hung the heads of Dong Zhuo and his men on the east gate, and then they were taken down and fed to the dogs. This is the one I snatched from the mouth of a wild dog. The other heads have been eaten up by the wild dogs.
Only this head was constantly fought for by wild dogs, so some of it was preserved. I felt that the leader of the alliance should know this head, so he brought it. "
Everyone suddenly realized that Dong Zhuo was fat and had the most meat on his head, so he was naturally fought over by the dogs.
"Is Dong Zhuo dead now?"
After Yuan Shao looked around at everyone, he was still a little in disbelief, but more importantly, he didn't want to believe it.
As the leader of the Eighteen Route Princes Alliance, his purpose was to attack Dong Zhuo. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, where should they go?
Yuan Shao slumped in his seat.
"Leader Yuan, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, there is a rebellion of barbarians in Youzhou, so I went there first."
Gongsun Zan bowed to Yuan Shao and left.
The same was true for many other princes, who began to leave on the grounds that trouble had occurred in the territory.
Just for a while, the big tent, which was originally bustling with people, became silent.
Only Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were still in the tent.
After the news of Dong Zhuo's execution came out, the world was shocked.
But soon it was time to do something again.
Those who should attack other princes will attack other princes, and those who should seize territory will continue to seize territory.
Although Dong Zhuo is dead, what can he do?
Now that the royal family is in decline, the number of troops loyal to the emperor does not exceed five thousand.
The emperor only had a nominal effect and had no actual influence on these princes.
Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although Emperor Zhou was still the Emperor, what could he do to those vassal states?
The same is true today.
"How about it? Why don't Wen He think about it?"
Lin Mu stood in front of the dungeon and looked at Jia Xu in the prison.
Jia Xu has been very well-behaved since he learned that Dong Zhuo was killed.
During these few days, I just squatted in the prison and said nothing.
It wasn't until now that Lin Mu had sorted everything out that he remembered this poisonous man.
