August 29, dusk, at the foot of Beibi Mountain. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

More than fifty horsemen escorted a carriage with coffins speeding down the gallop road, and about two miles behind them, a group of iron horsemen chased after them, and the smoke and dust rolled up obscured the sky.

"Sir, the pursuers are getting closer." Zishao shouted.

Lu Zhi looked back at the iron cavalry rushing in the distance, and shouted with a cold expression, "Quick, speed up, go to Hangu Pass." ”

"Sir, the pursuers must have come to kill us." Zhao said anxiously, "Sir, you take the teacher's coffin first, and we will stay and block it for a while." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, follow me, hurry, hurry up ......"

Lu Zhi and Le Yin have been friends for many years, and the two have a very close relationship. After Tianzi Shao, Zhao Zhao and others were rescued by Wang Yun, Wang Yun sent them directly to Lu Zhifu along with Le Yin's body. Le Yin's coffin was bought by Lu Zhi. After Lu Zhi was dismissed from office in the court against Dong Zhuo's depose, he immediately decided to leave the city and return to his hometown, considering that he was no longer able to protect Zishao and Zhaozhao. Zishao and the others knew the truth about the killing of the hussar general He Miao, and Lu Zhi knew that Dong Zhuo would not let them go no matter what, so for safety, he temporarily changed his itinerary and went directly out of the north gate to Hangu Pass. Now it is Li Wei's men and horses who are stationed at Hangu Pass, as long as they arrive at Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo will have no choice.

After Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo drove out of the palace, he first sent someone to find Li Wei. He said that he was going to Jinyang, and he also had to bring Zishao, Zhao Zhao and Shi Lu to the history of the hussar general's mansion, hoping that Li Wei could help. Li Wei agreed, and immediately sent Xu Yan and Xie Wu with fifty iron horsemen to escort them. They had only gone thirty miles after leaving the city in the afternoon, when the pursuers came.

Zhang Ji, the commander of the Xiliang Army, was ordered to gallop all the way with five hundred iron horsemen and intercept them forty miles from the capital. Zhang Ji ordered the Iron Knight to surround Lu Zhi and the others.

"On the military order of Lord Sikong, please return to Beijing as soon as possible." Zhang Jize approached Lu Zhi and bowed down and said. Zhang Ji is about forty years old, with a square face and a long beard, and he is fierce and brave. He was very polite to Lu Zhi and spoke very respectfully.

Lu Zhi stood beside the carriage on his horse, holding his long beard, looking at the sunset on the horizon with clear eyes, ignoring him at all.

Zhang Ji urged him a few more times, but Lu Zhi didn't hear it. Zhang Ji was not angry, and waved his hand to the guards behind him and said, "Come on, invite Mr. Lu, as well as Zishao, Zhao and Shi Lu to go back to me." ”

"Whoever dares to move, don't be killed." Xu Yan raised his spear and shouted. Hearing this, the Fifty Iron Horsemen moved, and at the same time raised their crossbows in their hands.

Xie Wu rode out and shouted loudly: "Cao Xuyan, the thief under the Linfen Xingyuan Gate of the General Cavalry Mansion, and Xie Wu were ordered to escort Mr. Lu to Hedong, who dares to take people here?" ”

The Xiliang soldiers did not wait for Zhang Ji's order, and raised their horn bows one after another. The two sides are tense, and there is a great tendency to trigger a trigger.

Zhang Ji was taken aback. He took a closer look at the two people opposite him and hesitated. Xu Yan and Xie Wu are both young people around twenty years old, Xu Yan is tall and strong, with an angular face, a pair of aggressive eyes, and a murderous aura exuding from his body, at first glance, he is a veteran of battle. Xie Wu is of medium stature, has a darker complexion, has a pair of shrewd eyes, and has a striking scar on his forehead. He faced the five hundred iron horsemen, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of panic on his face. Both of them were Pang De's junior disciples, who learned martial arts from Fan Zhi, a hermit in Xiliang, and followed Li Hong as a personal attendant very early. Before Li Hong left Hedong this time, considering Li Wei's safety, he deliberately left the two to Li Wei.

Zhang Ji didn't expect that the escort of Lu Zhi was actually a person from the Cheqi General's Mansion, he thought that these people were all guests of Lu Zhi's Mansion. If it's someone from the General's Mansion, this matter is a bit tricky today.

Zhang Ji remembered Dong Zhuo's military order. The person who should be killed still has to be killed, otherwise he won't be able to pay the difference when he goes back. As long as you don't kill the people from the General's Mansion, this thing will be done.

Zhang Ji looked back at his personal guard Qu Jun Hou Hu Che'er, and waved his hand lightly, "Drive the people from the General's Mansion away for me." ”

Hu Che'er is a Qiang man in his thirties, with a sturdy figure, long hair and a shawl, and a pair of very large eyes on his long bronze face, looking capable and fierce. Hu Che'er understood, pouted and whistled loudly. Xiliang Bing had long been impatient, and when he heard the order of the military lord, he immediately let out a cheer and roared up.

"Beat, give me a ......" Hu Che'er shouted at the top of his voice, "There is a reward for wounding one, and there is a reward for killing one." ”

Xu Yan glared angrily, waved his gun and roared: "Hold the position, don't mess up, don't mess up." ”

Xie Wu rushed to Lu Zhi with a horse, waved his halberd and shouted wildly: "Fight me, fight to the death." ”。

Because Shangguan had an order not to kill people, the soldiers on both sides were still slashing each other with knives and guns at first, but later felt that it was too dangerous, so they simply dropped their weapons and greeted each other with their fists and feet. It didn't take long for the two sides to get entangled and fight.

Xu Yan's spear flew, and he even picked and slashed, beating the Xiliang soldiers to the point that they didn't dare to get close at all. Xie Wu was surrounded by more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers, and he knocked off his horse carelessly, so he had to fight on foot. Hu Che'er went straight to Lu Zhi. Just when he thought he could catch Lu Zhi, a knife suddenly flew into the air. Hu Che'er blocked the knife with a knife, the knife broke, and Hu Che'er's soul flew away in an instant. At this time, a sneer came from his ears, "Get out of ......" Hu Che'er felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then his body rose into the air, and he dragged a long miserable scream and fell down more than a dozen steps away, opening his mouth and spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Ji was shocked and looked up. A handsome Confucian student in his twenties was standing in front of Lu Zhi with a war knife in his hand, angrily pointing at Hu Che'er who was lying on the ground and scolding loudly: "If you dare to touch my teacher again, I will chop you alive." ”

Hu Che'er staggered to his feet, and asked with hatred, "Who are you?" ”

"Zhang Falcon, a disciple of Mr. Xia Nailu." The young Confucian raised his sword and shouted, "If you have the ability, you can come again." ”

Hu Che'er was so angry that he wanted to eat him in one bite, "Kill him for me, kill him ......"

There were too few attendants in the general's mansion, and they were outnumbered, and they retreated to the carriage one after another. At this moment, the war horses roared in the distance, and an army of iron cavalry flew from the direction of Luoyang City.

Everyone was shocked, and even Lu Zhi, who was calm and calm, was secretly frightened. Zhang Ji's heart was relieved, and the Xiliang soldiers thundered with joy.

Almost at the same time, a group of men and horses burst out of the sunset on the west side of the gallop and swept in like a lightning speed.

Speeding from the direction of Luoyang was Du Wei Lu Bu. He was ordered by Ding Yuan to lead his troops to privately patrol outside Luoyang City, and he arrived here. Zhang Ji hurriedly caught up and said Dong Zhuo's military order. Lu Bu did not hesitate, and immediately ordered a thousand iron cavalry to surround Lu Zhi and the others.

The night before yesterday, Zhang Liao was ordered by Dong Zhuo to invite Lu Bu to the camp of the Northern Army. Dong Zhuo was very polite to him, rewarded him with a lot of property, and also bought wine to entertain him. Lu Bu was very moved, thinking that in addition to Li Hong in this world, even Dong Zhuo appreciated him the most. Zhang Ji and Lu Bu met that night.

There were about 300 horsemen rushing from the west side of the gallop. Lu Bu and Zhang Ji hit their horses to catch up. One of the current people is in his twenties, tall and strong, with bright armor and heroic spirit. Lu Bu frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Ji in a low voice: "That's Lord Commander Guo Xunguo, a subordinate of General Xu Rongxu. When I was at Yanmen Pass last year, I fought side by side with him and was a fierce general. ”

When Zhang Ji heard that the other party was Guo Xun, his heart suddenly became alert. Didn't he lead his troops to Hangu Pass, why did he suddenly appear here?

Guo Xun came over with a smile on his face, "It turned out to be Brother Fengxian." This is ......" Lu Bu introduced, and then asked, "How did you get here?" You didn't go on an expedition to the desert with General Xu? ”

Guo Xun said regretfully: "Liu Yu and I were injured in the battle of Yanmen Pass, and last year we were recruited to the Diannong Zhonglang General Department to lead the Tuntian soldiers behind Master Zhang, so we were unable to go on an expedition with the army. This time, I was ordered by Lord Changshi Li to lead the army to cross the river to the south, and only arrived at Hangu Pass yesterday. Guo Xun pointed to Lu Zhi and the others, who were surrounded by 1,500 iron cavalry, and said, "I came here today to pick up Lu Zhi and Lord Lu. ”

"What's going on?" Guo Xun asked, "Why did Brother Feng Xian surround my chariot and ride the people and horses of the General's Mansion?" ”

Lu Bu smiled, "I just arrived, I don't know." ”

Zhang Ji explained Dong Zhuo's military order with a smile, "I was ordered by Lord Sikong, I don't know ...... Lord Guo."

Guo Xun smiled: "So, I ran for nothing this time?" ”

Zhang Ji glanced at him contemptuously, and the expression on his face was obviously a matter of course.

"Master Zhang, I must take this person away." Guo Xun laughed even harder, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit, "Can Master Zhang be accommodating?" ”

Zhang Ji sneered, opened his mouth and was about to speak, when suddenly a cold light flashed in front of him, and a cold sword was already on his neck. Lu Bu's face sank, and his eyes were full of murder.

Zhang Ji was taken aback, but immediately calmed down. He stretched out his hand to stop the guards who were about to rush up, and asked in a cold voice, "What is Lord Guo doing here?" ”

"Let me go." Guo Xun said with a smile, "Our Lord Li said that if I can't send Mr. Lu to Hedong, my head will be gone." Can Mr. Zhang be accommodating? ”

"You want to rebel?" Zhang Ji looked at Lu Bu and said, "Lord Lu, if you agree to him, you will be an accomplice." ”

Lu Bu looked at the two of them, in a dilemma, and hesitated for a while.

In the twilight, Zhijin Wu Ding Yuan came in a hurry with three hundred horsemen. Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward to report, and Ding Yuan scolded him with a stinking face. In the afternoon, after Ding Yuan received Yuan Kui's secret letter, he immediately realized that Zhang Ji left Ping Optimistic with the iron horse to hunt down Lu Zhi. Without saying a word, he chased down with his men.

"Let me go, release it immediately." Ding Yuan whipped and shouted, "You don't use your brain, you're an idiot." ”

Lu Bu scolded inexplicably. How could he, an ordinary lieutenant of Hanoi, know how much was going on in the capital? Now that Lord Sikong is in charge of Shangshushi, of course his military orders must be obeyed. If Lu Zhi is released like this, if Lord Sikong blames him in the future, it will be a big trouble. Ding Yuan was Lu Bu's superior, and Lu Bu didn't dare not listen, so he bowed down and left uneasily.

Lu Bu commanded the soldiers and horses to get out of the way, and Guo Xun, Xu Yan, and Xie Wu galloped away with Lu Zhi and Zhao Zhao, and quickly disappeared into the long night.

Zhang Ji glared at Ding Yuan fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Ding, you must follow me to see Lord Sikong, otherwise, my head will be gone." ”

Ding Yuan glanced at him with great disdain, waved his hand indifferently and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”

August 29th, late at night, Garter Hall.

The palace is heavily guarded and transparent. The ministers are busy with the matter of deposing the young emperor tomorrow and supporting the new emperor, and it seems that they are going to stay up all night and stay awake all night.

Dong Zhuo summoned Ding Yuan, Zhang Ji and Lu Bu in the side hall. After listening to the report of the three of them, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, pointed to Ding Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Drag it out and kill it." ”

Ding Yuan was furious and scolded loudly. Before he could curse twice, he was knocked out by a punch from a guard.

Lu Bu was shocked, and the extreme terror in his heart almost suffocated him. He shuddered, and his whole body was soaked with cold sweat. The first time he walked into the palace, the first time he saw the majestic and solemn hall, the first time he felt the supreme authority. No one can stand against the authority of the state, no one. Lu Bu knelt on the ground, his forehead against the cold ground, barely supporting his crumbling body, and the fear in his mind was a suffocating breath of death.

In just an instant, Ding Yuan's head was placed at Dong Zhuo's feet.

Dong Zhuo helped Lu Bu, whose face was pale, up.

"I'm not going to kill you this time." Dong Zhuo said in a cold voice, "You will be guilty of your crimes, and you will immediately go to the camp outside the city with Ding Yuan's head to gather the Hanoi soldiers and appease the army." Early tomorrow morning, all the Hanoi soldiers will be merged into the Northern Army. ”

Lu Bu looked blank as if he hadn't heard it, and looked at Ding Yuan's head with a pair of blank eyes. Pain, hatred, anger, fear, kindness, all kinds of feelings came to my heart in an instant. Lu Bu couldn't control himself anymore, and suddenly rushed up like crazy and picked up Ding Yuan's head, howling and crying.

Dong Zhuo looked lonely, silently looking at Lu Bu, who was in extreme pain, and a trace of deep sadness gradually appeared in his eyes. Maybe one day, I will be cut off like Ding Yuan, and at that time, who will hold my head and sit on the ground and cry bitterly? Dong Zhuo sighed. My head can't be cut off, I can't be cut off.

Dong Zhuo walked out of the side hall and said to Dong Yue, Niu Fu, Li Su, and Zhang Ji who were following behind him: "This Lu Bu is a man, I like it, he is a man." ”

He pointed at Dong Yue and said, "You go out of the city first, and bring 20,000 troops to surround the Hanoi soldiers in Pingxing to prevent accidents." Then he pointed at Li Su again, "You and Zhang Liao are both from Bingzhou, so you will accompany Lu Bu more in the past two days." If he is willing to follow us, he can ask for money, officials, or women, or even my red rabbit horse. If he does not want to, kill him so that he does not leave a curse. ”

August Jiaxu (30th), Jiade Temple.

The palace is heavily armoured inside and outside, and hundreds of officials in the Jiade Hall gather.

The Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang were panicked and trembling. Taifu Yuan Kui was as calm as water, Sikong Dong Zhuo was happy and excited, and the civil and military officials were exhausted and in good spirits.

Sikong Dong Zhuo first read out "Abolish the Young Emperor". The young emperor was frivolous, did not have the majesty that an emperor should have, during the mourning period, he was lazy and lazy, and his bad morality was already known to the world, and his obscene behavior was already known, and his actions seriously insulted the artifact and the temple. The Queen Mother has no way to teach, and there is no virtue of motherhood, which makes the society desolate. The collapse of the Empress Dowager Yongle is still confusing to this day. The path of the Three Principles established by heaven and earth has been flawed, and this is a great sin. …… The emperor was deposed as the king of Hongnong, and the empress dowager returned to the dynasty.

Dong Zhuo asked, can you have any objections? The ministers were silent.

Shangshu Ding Gong then applied the righteousness of the "Spring and Autumn Period" to confirm the rationality of deposing the young emperor and supporting the new emperor, and used many celestial phenomena and examples to illustrate the correctness of supporting Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo asked again, do you have any objections? The ministers were silent.

Shangshu He Hao immediately read out the edict of the Empress Dowager, deposed the young emperor Liu Wei, and established Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Taifu Yuan Kui took off the seal ribbon worn by the young emperor Liu Bian, and presented it to Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, and then helped Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, to go down to the palace and proclaim himself to Liu Xie, who was sitting in the north. The two brothers looked at each other and wept. Empress Dowager He choked and sobbed and was in pain. The ministers were miserable.

The ministers paid homage to the new emperor, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

Shangshu He Hao announced the edict of the Son of Heaven, granted amnesty to the world, and changed the year name to Yonghan.

Dong Zhuo made a decision, saying that the Empress Dowager He forced the Empress Dowager to return to the vassal kingdom shortly after the first emperor returned to heaven, causing the Empress Dowager to die of anxiety and grief, violating the etiquette of her daughter-in-law and respecting her mother-in-law, and should be punished.

Dong Zhuo asked, can you have any objections? The ministers were silent.

Shangshu Han Fu then read out the empress dowager's edict.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to pardon the Queen Mother's unfilial piety and move the Queen Mother to live in Yongle Palace.

September of the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty of the Great Han Kingdom (189 AD).

On the first day of September, Luoyang.

On this day, the Luoyang officials, who had a premonition that the mountain rain was coming, began a great escape. The big and small bureaucrats and celebrities in Beijing resigned one after another, and even left their seals and ribbons and fled. Xun Shuang, Wang Qian, Shen Tufan, Chen Ji, Han Rong, Zheng Tai, He Hao and others disappeared in Luoyang in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Sikong Dong Zhuo was busy reorganizing the 100,000 Northern Army and preparing to divide his troops to garrison Gyeonggi Baguan and Luoyang City. At the same time, the Son of Heaven issued an order to repatriate the Tuntian soldiers in Hedong, and ordered Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, the Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun, and Bao Xin, the governor of Taishan County, to each lead their troops and horses back to the prefecture and county.

On this day, Taifu Yuan Kui was busy with his foreign duties as an official in Beijing. Foreign appointments are another way for bureaucrats to take refuge. In fact, the foreign appointees are not really officials, their destination is their hometown, everyone knows about this, and they just know each other. Shangshu Han Fu is the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Dai is the pastor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the captain of the cavalry, is the Taishou of Chen Liu, Kong Ling is the pastor of Yuzhou, and Zhang Zhi is the Taishou of Nanyang. In addition, Shangshu Xu Jing was also among the foreign appointments, and he was originally arranged to be the Taishou of Bajun, but he did not make the trip, and he was left by Dong Zhuo to be the middle of the imperial history, helping Shangshu Ling Zhou Bi to rebuild Shangshutai.

On this day, the Son of Heaven issued an edict appointing the sons of officials at and below the central government as Lang Guan, in order to fill the positions originally held by eunuchs and serve the emperor in the palace.

September Bingzi (the second day of the first month), Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo wrote a book, saying that the death of the general He Jin was all because of the queen mother, the eunuch and the hussar general He Miao, and begged His Majesty to order him to be punished. The Son of Heaven then issued an edict.

Dong Zhuo ordered the poisoning of Empress Dowager He. Officials at the level of the Minister and below do not wear mourning clothes, and when attending the funeral, they only wear white clothes. Dong Zhuo ordered He Miao's coffin to be dug up, dismembered and cut his body into segments and thrown on the side of the road. On the same day, Dong Zhuo also ordered the killing of He Miao's mother, Wuyangjun, and threw her body in the Mandarin Garden of the Imperial Hedge Wall.

The Luoyang Rebellion lasted eight days from the Wuchen Day of August (25th) to the second day of the ninth month of September.
