Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 369 New 3 Kingdoms 9

When Wang Yun saw Dong Zhuo was about to step onto the stairs, he quickly drew his sword and shouted loudly.

"The rebels have arrived, kill them!"

Upon hearing the shout, a group of civil and military officials drew their swords and rushed forward to surround Dong Zhuo. However, due to Dong Zhuo's past prestige and vigilance, the Western Liang troops outside the Zen Terrace did not dare to take action.

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that the so-called abdication and enthronement was a trap, but he also saw that these ministers, who were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, were afraid, which gave him a way out.

"Where is my son Fengxian!" Dong Zhuo shouted with sword in both hands.

"Lu Bu is here!"

With a loud shout, the ministers surrounding Dong Zhuo made way for him. Lü Bu, holding his halberd, quickly passed through the passage made by the ministers and came in front of Dong Zhuo.

"My son, Fengxian, quickly escort your father out to fight. Then mobilize the troops to capture and execute all the ministers, and exterminate their entire clans." Dong Zhuo said, pointing at the civil and military officials in the court.

"Lu Bu, why don't you take action? What are you waiting for?" Wang Yun shouted while standing on the steps.

Lü Bu held the halberd in his left hand and took out the imperial edict in his right hand, shouting: "I obey the imperial edict to punish the traitor Dong Zhuo. I will not ask about the rest!"

After saying this, he pierced Dong Zhuo's throat with his halberd.

Before Dong Zhuo fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and completely lost consciousness, he seemed to see the ministers rushing towards him like wolves and tigers.

In April of the third year of Chuping, the powerful official Dong Zhuo was attacked and killed in Chang'an. Afterwards, Wang Yun took control of the government. He acted like a mentally ill person and implicated those who had old ties with Dong Zhuo, even executing the famous scholar Cai Yong.

All the senior generals and advisers of the Western Liang Army who followed Dong Zhuo to the capital were killed, and the Western Liang Army in Guanzhong fell into panic.

In the end, the junior officers Li Jue and Guo Si adopted Jia Xu's advice, gathered the chaotic Xiliang army and attacked Chang'an, executed Wang Yun who was drinking champagne at halftime, defeated Lu Bu, and the emperor fell into the hands of Li and Guo.

Jia Xu turned over a new leaf, and during the entire process of attacking Chang'an, carrying out military revenge against Wang Yun and Lu Bu and controlling the emperor, he tried his best to stop the rebel army from looting Guanzhong and protected Guanzhong to the greatest extent.

Li and Guo felt that this guy had been possessed by another spirit. Jia Xu had no way of saying his pain. When he decided to integrate the army to attack Chang'an, he met a man.

This man was very young. He handed over the long-lost jade seal and the book of Dong Zhuo's assassination to him, and then said that if the army did anything to harm Tianhe, he would hurt Wenhe. To prove that he could do it, he split a huge rock with his palm on the spot, summoned a thunderbolt to break the big tree next to it, and finally flew away in front of him on a cloud.

This is a god-like method. Jia Xu can only use his mouth to make Li Guo and Li Guo restrain the army from doing anything. Both of them are pure warriors and obey Jia Xu's orders.

Not to mention the military rebellion in Guanzhong, after punishing Jia Xu, Yu Xian left Guanzhong and went to Xuzhou to watch the next big show.

However, before starting the Xuzhou chapter, let me first explain where the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang went.

When the coalition against Dong was not defeated, Zhang Fei cursed Gongsun Zan's generals and said they deserved to die, which led to a fight. The three killed and injured many generals and soldiers, and were beaten and expelled from the coalition.

Cao Cao recruited them, but because they were tortured and could not fight, he sent them back to their hometown to recuperate. After they recovered, they served under Cao Cao, but they did not have the consciousness of being workers, so their popularity was very bad.

As the saying goes, "I am in Cao's camp but my heart is with Han." Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao was not only the boss but was getting richer and richer, while he was still an employee and was being ostracized by others, so he wanted to leave.

People who want to leave cannot be kept, so Liu Bei turned against Cao Cao on the pretext that the tomb raider had dug up the Liu family's graves, and left Cao Cao to join Kong Rong.

At this time, Yuan Shao was having a great time fighting with Gongsun Zan, while Yuan Shu was quarreling with Liu Biao. Sun Ce, who wanted to avenge his father, always led the charge in every battle against Liu Biao.

At this time, Cao Cao had occupied Yanzhou through a series of means, and was currently competing with Yuan Shu for territory. Except for the lack of food, he was considered a wealthy landlord.

After Cao Cao became rich, he quickly sent a letter to his father, asking him to come over quickly. Cao Song sold his real estate and took his family and money to join his son.

When Cao Song passed through Xuzhou, Tao Qian, who wanted to curry favor with Cao Cao, invited Cao Song to have a meal, and then sent his general Zhang Kai with 500 soldiers to escort Cao Song out of the country.

Yu Xian didn't believe that Tao Qian was a good man at all. A general is like his soldiers. Zhang Kai saw that Cao Song brought a huge sum of money, so he planned to make a fortune.

Others are tired of the world and want to retire, but this guy is the opposite. He wants to make a fortune and then continue to live in the underworld.

That day, the team reached a place where there was no village or shop nearby, and it happened to rain heavily, so they had to stay in a temple and wait for the rain to stop and the road to dry up before they could continue their journey.

Zhang Kai felt that the time was ripe, so he immediately organized his men to take action at dawn. After robbing the property, they immediately went into the mountains. Unexpectedly, when they just broke in, a young man fell from the sky.

Thinking that the matter might have been leaked, Zhang Kai ordered the young man to be killed first, and the others to surround the temple to prevent Cao Song and his family from escaping.

A massacre took place in this temple. The heavy rain seemed to wash away all traces of the massacre in this place to leave a trace of dignity for Buddhism. It continued to rain until dawn, an hour after Zhang Kai and his soldiers fled in fear.

So when Cao Ren and Cao Anmin received a mysterious letter and led their troops to rush to the temple day and night to support the enemy, they only saw corpses on the ground and the frightened Cao Song family and monks in the temple.

Although Cao Song and his family were saved from disaster by a mysterious man, they were so frightened that they became seriously ill and bedridden.

Cao Cao was so angry about this that he even ignored his own father's illness and ordered his troops to attack Xuzhou to vent his anger on his father.

When the news of Cao Song's attack reached the provincial capital of Xiapi, Tao Qian's illness became even worse, so he quickly sent someone to take some gifts to apologize to Cao Song. On the way, he encountered Cao Cao's army and was detained along with the people and the gifts.

Tao Qian was even more worried when he learned of Cao Cao's determination to attack Xuzhou. Finally, at Mi Zhu's suggestion, he sent messengers to seek help everywhere.

Unlike Tao Qian who had trouble eating and sleeping, Cao Cao was in a good mood now, sitting on a specially built cart biting an apple, while Cao Ren sat absent-mindedly opposite him, occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the troops outside.

"Cao Ren, my father is really my father! I have wanted to attack Xuzhou for a long time, but Tao Qian has a good reputation. How does the saying go, a dog biting a hedgehog has nowhere to bite. Hehe, now I have a reason, Xuzhou belongs to me, Cao Cao! Haha."

"Zhang Kai, ah Zhang Kai, you are such a good man! Such a good man!"

Cao Cao laughed triumphantly, and apple crumbs and saliva sprayed all over Cao Ren's face.

"Brother, uncle is still sick in bed after all."

Cao Ren was getting more and more fed up with this cousin, who always acted condescendingly and pointed fingers at others. He had taken in the relatives who had died at the hands of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, saying that the value of a living person was greater than that of a dead person. Now, not only did he not care about his sick father, he also wanted to send troops to fight for territory in the name of revenge.

"Cao Ren, if you want to achieve great things, don't bother with these trivial matters. It's normal for people to get sick. I have arranged for the best doctors. Now all we need is the medicine. Tao Qian's life is the medicine! When I take Xuzhou, the old man will be cured."

Cao Cao didn't care about Cao Ren at all. Now all he had in his eyes and heart was Xuzhou.
