The first year of the first peace, the beginning of spring.

A 'edict to beg for thieves', like thunder rising from the ground, exploded the entire Han Dynasty.

Dongjun Taishou bridged the hat and edicted the three dukes, leaving a book to pass on to various states and counties, saying that Dong Zhuo was sinful, arrogant and bullying the king, and hoped that the loyal and righteous people in the world would raise troops to fight against Dong in order to relieve the country's difficulties.

Cao Cao got the news and also erected the banner of 'Qing Jun's side, except for the national thieves' in Chenliu, and called on the princes of the world to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo on the grounds of restoring the throne of King Hongnong.

For a time, the whole world gathered to respond, and the assassins and county guards from all over the country led troops one after another, coming in the direction of Luoyang with great momentum.

When the news reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo learned that his face was particularly terrifying.

Qiao Mao ordered the three dukes, saying that it was the will issued by the three dukes, which made Huang Wan, Fan Ling and others miserable, and they were all arrested and imprisoned by Dong Zhuo for strict training and interrogation.

Subsequently, when he learned that the princes were going to reinstate the king of Hongnong, Dong Zhuo angrily broke into the palace with three thousand armor soldiers and went to find Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong. However, when he went to the outside of the hall and pushed the door to take a look, there was still a trace of Liu Wei inside, and it was empty.

The two eunuchs guarding the gate could not escape and were beaten to death. The two couldn't stand the torture and confessed to the guard Zhang Wen.

Dong Zhuo took someone to Zhang Wen's house again and asked about the whereabouts of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong.

Zhang Wen did not answer and was sent to prison for interrogation.

On the ninth day of February, Zhang Wen's prisoner van moved slowly through the streets of Luoyang City under the supervision of hundreds of sergeants.

When he arrived at the market, the haggard-looking Zhang Wen was tied to a thick wooden pillar, and the people of the city were all around below.

Dong Zhuo came in a Luan car, stepped on the back of the servant and got out of the car, and then slowly walked up to Xingtai, looked at Zhang Wen, who was dying, and said without the slightest pity: "Zhang Wen, this Taishi remembers that you have contributed to the imperial court, and advises you to confess your comrades earlier, so as not to suffer from this flesh and skin." ”

Zhang Wen was tied to the pillar and couldn't move, his hair was unkempt, and the skin and flesh on his body were already purple and blue. He glanced at Dong Zhuo, opened his mouth and spit a mouthful of spit on Dong Zhuo, not only was he not afraid, but laughed loudly: "Dong thief, everyone in the world is my comrade Zhang Wen, we can't wait to eat your flesh raw and drink your blood alive." ”

Dong Zhuo was insulted by Zhang Wen, and immediately became furious, picked up the thorny iron whip, slapped Zhang Wen fiercely, and scolded violently: "You don't say it!" Say it or not! ”

This whip can be said to be a heart-rending pain.

Zhang Wen overflowed thick blood between his lips and teeth, and his dusty face had an extremely painful expression, obviously he was suffering a lot at the moment, but he still refused to confess his accomplices, just held on and kept scolding Dong Zhuo angrily.

"I only hate that when I was crusading against Xiliang, I didn't listen to Sun Wentai's words and put you to death, so that you, a jackal, entered Beijing, mutilated living beings, and caused chaos in the country!"

"Dong Zhuo, you are tyrannical, and you will not die well in the future!"

"I'm on Huangquan Road, waiting for you!"

Dong Zhuo heard these words, and somehow there was a trace of fear in his heart. The anger on his face became heavier, and the iron whip in his hand was even more beaten to death.

The children under the Xingtai were blindfolded by their parents, their ears blocked, and the adults couldn't bear to look anymore and closed their eyes.

Before long, Zhang Wen's voice gradually faded, and Wei Wei, one of the dignified Jiuqing, was whipped to death.

Seeing that Zhang Wen was out of breath, Dong Zhuo threw away the iron whip in his hand and glanced down with a fierce expression. The people retreated in fear.

A few days later, Dong Zhuo held a banquet in the mansion to entertain the ministers and officials.

The officials didn't dare to disobey Dong Zhuo, so they could only bite the bullet.

Compared with the lively atmosphere of the last time, this banquet, from the beginning, was in an extremely eerie silence.

It is no secret that the princes of the eastern part of the country are leading their troops to Luoyang. At this juncture, Dong Zhuo did not dispatch troops and marched into the army, but instead set up a banquet in the mansion, what was the purpose?

The officials figured out in their hearts that the incident of Zhang Wen some time ago had already sounded the alarm for them.

After the wine was halfway through, Dong Zhuo glanced at the officials present with the intention of drinking, and proposed: "It's not interesting to drink like this, wait for Master Ben to give everyone some fun shows." ”

As he spoke, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands, and the soldiers in the house immediately brought more than a dozen large urn jars, filled them with most of the pots of water, set up firewood underneath, and boiled them vigorously.

"Taishi, do you want to cook cattle or sheep?" Shang Shu made Ding Gong ask curiously.

"What fun is it to cook cattle and sheep?"

Dong Zhuo smiled gloomily, and he looked at everyone: "Everyone, have you ever seen cooking people?" ”

When the officials present heard this, they all shivered in their hearts and felt a chill in their backs. Many people didn't even dare to look at Dong Zhuo, and their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably.

Within half an hour, the cold water in the urn was boiling.

Dong Zhuo picked up the wine cup, and after taking a sip, he called out the names of the three officials present without smiling: "Shangshu Zhou Yu, City Gate Captain Wu Qiong, Shilang Tang Li, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, these people are recommended by you." The recommendation is really good, now you dare to send troops to rebel against this master, are you also ready to respond internally, and want to cut off the head of this master and give it to them as a gift? ”

Before the three people whose names were called could argue, they were brutally knocked to the ground by the armor.

"Yu Shi Dafu Chun Yu Jiu, Zhenwu General Xu Chang, Dianjun Zhonglang General Chen Ling............ You've been in close contact with the rebels lately, so why do you want to take off the head of the master? ”

Dong Zhuo read the names of more than a dozen officials in a row, and every time he pronounced a name, one of the people in the seat was captured by the armor.

The rest of the officials present were sitting on pins and needles, their hearts pounding, lest the next name that came out of Dong Zhuo's mouth would be themselves.

By the time Dong Zhuo finished reading it thoroughly, there were more than 30 officials who were captured.

Dong Zhuo made a gesture, and those soldiers understood, and immediately cut off the tongues of these officials, gouged out their eyes, cut off their hands and feet, and threw them into urns to cook.

Then he fished out the dead and poured them on the ground, and let them roll around in pain between the glasses and the table, letting out a terrible wail.

The officials present all changed color, obviously frightened. Many people couldn't even hold the dishes and chopsticks steadily, ran to the corner and vomited; Some elderly ministers couldn't bear it psychologically and vomited blood and died on the spot.

Even a military general like Lu Bu, who is accustomed to seeing tragic battles, feels that this kind of execution method is too cruel.

Only Dong Zhuo was there calmly, eating meat, drinking wine in a big bowl, and asking everyone with a smile on his face: "Everyone, are you having fun?" ”
