Chapter 3: The Tempest, Section 26

"Whew...... ......"Long arrows flew all over the sky, like locusts and rain, up and down the palace gate, there was chaos, the neighing of war horses, the roars of soldiers and the screams of one after another were intertwined, thrilling.

Du Wei Jin Zhun was mixed in the middle of the iron horse, and the spear in his hand pointed obliquely at the gatehouses on both sides of the palace gate, roaring wildly,

"Shoot me, shoot me...... Hold them down and slam open the palace gate......" On the gatehouses on both sides of the palace gate, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, and dense crossbow arrows fell from the sky in an instant, splitting heads and faces.

The Iron Knight was caught off guard, and was shot down in an instant. The square in front of the palace gate was like a fierce wind that swept fiercely across the mountains and fields, setting off a series of miserable screams.

Jin Zhun's war horse trembled violently a few times, then let out a long neigh, rolled over and fell. Jin Zhun was defenseless and fell to the ground, the battle helmet on his head flying without a trace.

Several guards hurriedly dragged Jin Zhun out from under the dead body of the war horse. Jin Zhun stood up with a roll, looked at the chaotic crowd in front of him, and was so angry that his eyes were split.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, line up on the long street, and rush up for me in a ......"

"Your Excellency......" A military horse dragged a wounded leg and ran to the ground, and he said loudly in panic,

"My lord, should we ask Lord Dong Yue outside the city for help?"

"It's too late. I don't know how many rebellions there are in the palace, and I don't know what happened in the palace, but if you listen to the cry for help from inside, the sound is longer than the sound, and the adults must be very dangerous. Jin Zhun's face was red, his eyes were about to pop out, and his expression was extremely angry and frightened.

"There are only three hundred guards of Chen Shu by his side, and he can't stop him for long. We must kill them immediately and get the adults out, or we'll be finished. ”

"If Li Su rebels, there will be 3,000 rebels inside, and we can't kill them." The military commander grabbed Jin Zhun's arm,

"My lord, hurry, hurry up to Dong Yue, ask Dong Huang for help......" Jin Zhun heard Li Su's name, and his head was about to explode.

If Li Su rebelled, his three thousand iron horsemen would not be able to kill him no matter what. Now the guards on the palace gate tower actually used ballistas to block their attacks, which shows that the rebel has made careful preparations to kill Dong Zhuo, and the Taishi may be more than lucky.

"Ask for help, immediately ask Dong Yue and Dong Huang for help." Jin Zhun didn't hesitate any longer, pointed at a military candidate and shouted,

"Hurry, hurry to Yongmen, protect Yongmen, and ensure that the army outside the city enters the city quickly."

"Brothers, Lord Dong is in danger. Kill in, kill in and rescue the adult......" Dong Zhuo pushed Chen Shu away and sat up straight suddenly.

On the spacious royal road, the Yulin guards and their own guards huddled together and fought bloodily. The soldiers on both sides were roaring and roaring, swords flying in the crowd, halberds and spears were up and down, the roar of crossbows and arrows was endless, the severed limbs and stumps with a puff of blood, with a terrible cry swirling in the air, and even more corpses that rose into the air rolled and fell on the dense crowd.

The sound of war drums became more and more intense, and more and more high, and teams of feather forests and tiger guards rushed from all corners of the palace, all the imperial roads, and the corridors, and the two ends of the long imperial roads were soon filled with dense arrays.

"Adult...... Chen Shu was frightened, and pounced hard again,

"My lord, there are stray arrows everywhere here, and it is ...... dangerous" Dong Zhuo sneered, raised his hand and gave him a slap,

"Take someone out and kill it, ...... quickly" Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, turned around and jumped out of the car, and shouted loudly to the dozen or so guards guarding the carriage: "Protect the adults, don't let the adults be injured in the slightest, otherwise I will kill you." Dong Zhuo sat in the carriage, looked around, and stared at Li Su, who was screaming wildly in front of him.

Li Su was unstoppable, the war knife in his hand blocked left and right, the red blood was splashed all over the armor, and his face looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

Why did he betray me? Because I demoted him? No way, Li Su has been with me for more than ten years, he is very cautious and cautious, if he is not very sure, there is no greater temptation, he will never betray me.

Then why is he so sure to kill me today? Even if I die in the palace, how will he deal with the army outside the palace?

After I die, how can he control the Son of Heaven and the imperial court? Impossible, Li Su doesn't have this ability, who is behind him?

Dong Zhuo's gaze swept over the fighting crowd and looked towards the royal road on the left. Under the protection of more than a dozen guards, Sun Rui, the scholar of Shangshu, was standing in a corner of the hall dozens of steps away, shouting excitedly, commanding the Yulin soldiers who kept pouring out to kill him.

Behind Li Su is Shi Sun Rui? Shi Sun Rui is a gentle and honest person, likes to do learning, teaches disciples, and has little interest in being an official.

If it weren't for his own invitation, Shi Sunrui would not have come to Luoyang as an official. After Taiwei Zhao Qian resigned due to the Kanto earthquake last year, he had intended to ask him to become a Tai Lieutenant, but Shi Sun Rui resolutely refused.

This kind of person has a reason to kill me, but he doesn't have the strength to kill me. In today's court, not only has the ability to kill me and the determination to kill me, but also can persuade Li Su to betray me, persuade Shisun Rui to participate in the mutiny, and there is only one minister behind the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, that is, Huangfu Song.

Thinking of Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of the woman he had loved for decades. Dong Zhuo's heart trembled, the pain and sorrow that penetrated deep into his bone marrow made him weak and sad.

Dong Zhuo slowly lowered his head and looked at his hands. In the past two years, I have rarely held the handle of the knife, the calluses on my hands have receded a lot, the skin has become white, the white is red, and the lines on the palm are also very clear.

Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly and gently stroked a raised scar on his left palm with the index finger of his right hand.

He stroked it attentively and slowly closed his eyes. In the past, when I was guarding the frontier, I liked to sit alone on the edge of a quiet river, sitting in the dusk, thinking quietly.

At this moment, I seemed to have returned to the past, to the years of conquest. Back then, he was still a junior officer in the border army, and his status was low, but that woman was born in the first gate valve in Guanzhong.

That woman loves heroes, she is young, she married the hero Huangfu Gui, who is already over half a hundred years old, and is willing to be a concubine.

When I saw her for the first time, I was so shocked that I almost suffocated. Since then, I have a wish, a wish buried deep in my heart.

If one day he becomes famous and becomes the most famous hero of the Han Dynasty, he must tell this woman that he once loved her so much, wanted to take her for himself, and wanted to become the greatest hero in her heart.

However, when the opportunity actually came, the woman turned it down. When she died, she shattered her dream with very cruel means, turning her wish into a nightmare, an unforgettable pain.

What you have obtained is not worth cherishing, only what you can't get is the real treasure that haunts you.

"Woo ......" A sharp arrow pierced through the human wall and shot straight through the back seat of the carriage, and the sound of the arrow entering the wood was like a long sword piercing into the **, which made people feel painful.

Dong Zhuo didn't squint, under the frightened eyes of the guards, he stroked his hand intently, and his fat body was like a hill, not moving at all.

A row of crossbow arrows ...... "Xiu Xiu" fired, and the two guards could not dodge and were firmly nailed to the carriage.

A crossbow arrow was castrated, and in the screams of the guards, it burrowed into Dong Zhuo's body. Dong Zhuo seemed to be stung up by a sting, he looked at it a little sluggishly, sighed, and pulled out the crossbow arrow inserted in his waist and abdomen.

He was heavily armoured, and the bolt from a distance didn't hurt him. Huangfu Song wants to kill me. Dong Zhuo put the crossbow arrow in front of his eyes and looked at it, and then gently put it on the back seat.

He's finally going to kill me. In Western Xinjiang, because of the existence of the Huangfu family, no matter how hard he tries, he is just a former official of their Huangfu family and a slave of their Huangfu family.

Bai Ji sincerely wanted to marry that woman, but that woman thought that the Huangfu family had been insulted, and she had disgraced the Huangfu family, so she committed suicide in disfigurement.

This is what I have worked hard for all my life. But it's okay to do this, this finally allows me to see the world clearly, and knows that no matter how powerful he is, in the eyes of the Great Han people, he is still a bloody and barbaric warrior, a lowly warrior who can be wantonly humiliated and trampled on by them.

Dong Zhuo looked up and looked around, and his eyes were suddenly murderous. Kill it, this is the last time, I will not tolerate it anymore, when I walk out of the palace, I will kill all the gate lords in the gate, not a single one.

A corpse roared towards Dong Zhuo, the headless body rolled back and forth in the air, blood spurted out from his neck, and the air was suddenly sprinkled with patches of red blood.

The guards in front of the carriage exclaimed in surprise and raised their halberds to block. Under the action of strong inertia, the corpse rushed through the block of the halberd and smashed into Dong Zhuo in the carriage.

Dong Zhuo roared angrily, and his fists slammed out. With the help of Dong Zhuo's blow, the corpse flew diagonally to the side of the road and fell to the ground.

Scattered blood splashed on Dong Zhuo's body, and a trace of blood slowly flowed down Dong Zhuo's cheek, shocking.

The intense bloodshed suddenly rushed to the bottom of Dong Zhuo's heart, arousing his most primitive and powerful violence.

"Kill...... Kill them" Dong Zhuo jumped up, raised his hands high, and roared wildly,

"Kill all the rebellions, protect the Son of Heaven, protect the Son of Heaven......" Dong Zhuo's three hundred guards were overwhelming, and retreated thirty steps at the fastest speed.

Li Su took Qin Yi, Chen Wei and nearly 100 other guards to resist desperately, and after leaving the corpses all over the ground, he finally waited for reinforcements.

Under the command of the guard commander Fu Yong and the brigade commander Liu Yi, the guards of the Southern Army launched a fierce attack on Dong Zhuo's convoy from both sides of the imperial road at the same time.

The drums of war crumbled, the ground cracked, and the horns cracked through the clouds. The palace gate trembled violently with a thunderous roar, groaning coldly, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The roar of the iron rider outside the palace shook the entire Weiyang Palace, and the ancient and dilapidated palace seemed to collapse at any time.

The guards of the southern army quickly occupied an absolute advantage, but due to the limited width of the imperial road, the soldiers were densely packed within a narrow range of dozens of steps, unable to give full play to the advantage in numbers, and could only fight to the death with Dong Zhuo's personal guards, and consume Dong Zhuo's soldiers one by one.

Qin Yi was like thunder, his sword was like a long rainbow, and his sword opened and closed, like a raging storm, wantonly devouring the enemy's life.

Chen Shu fought and retreated, two spears and three long knives, all of them broke in an instant, Qin Yi roared wildly, kicked him away, and followed up with another knife.

The enemy fought hard to save and all kinds of weapons were killed at the same time. Qin Yi suddenly exerted force, intending to cut off all the weapons and cut off Chen Shu's body with one sword.

The knife was broken, and the war knife with the notched and curled blade was overwhelmed by the blow, and it was broken three times. Qin Yi let out an earth-shattering roar, and the handle of the knife in his hand instantly plunged into the enemy's chest.

The left fist was thrown out at a rapid pace, breaking the neck of the enemy with a single punch. Chen Shu's halberd was like a spirit snake, suddenly passing through the crowd and piercing Qin Yi's lower abdomen.

"Knife ......" Qin Yi roared at the tiger, and kicked the halberd with his long legs. Chen Wei, who was following behind Qin Yi, stepped forward, handed the knife in one hand, and pulled out the long sword from behind his back with an unbelievable speed in the other, piercing the enemy's chest in an instant.

The knife arrives, the halberd arrives, and the gold and iron resonate. Chen Shu suddenly felt like he had been hit hard, took a few steps back, and fell headlong into the crowd.

"Kill, kill Dong Zhuo......" Li Su was first stabbed, and then hit a halberd, and had to drag his bloody body out of the battlefield.

Shi Sun Rui and Yang Zan hurriedly greeted him,

"Master Li, with a little more effort, Dong Zhuo will die."

"Now that people are huddled together, it takes time to peel it slowly like the bark of a tree." Li Su panted and said,

"Wait a minute, Dong Huang wants to rush to the aid of the palace, and the three thousand iron horsemen outside the palace must also be killed, and the safety of His Majesty's side must be guaranteed, otherwise, this person will be killed in vain today." Shisun Rui nodded again and again,

"Zuo Zhonglang will take Liu Fan with a thousand people to protect Your Majesty, and nothing will happen. Please kill Dong Zhuo quickly. At this moment, a terrible scream came from the direction of the palace gate, and a group of guards of the Southern Army suddenly surrounded the soldiers stationed at the official gate, and the swords and arrows were all fired, and the flesh and blood were immediately killed.

Shi Sun Rui, Yang Zan and Li Su were stunned.

"Who's that? How can there be Dong Zhuo's people in the three thousand feather forests and tiger ben in the palace? Didn't those team leaders and tun commanders all be killed? Yang Zan pointed at Li Su and shouted angrily,

"What did you do?" A hint of anger flashed on Li Su's face,

"I said a long time ago that all the officers in the 3,000 Southern Army should be arrested, and no one will be left, but you don't believe it, saying that some people are arranged by you, and I have to arrest them according to the list, what is the result?" The more Li Su spoke, the more angry he became, and the war knife in his hand suddenly aimed at Yang Zhan,

"I said arrest people at night, you don't do it, you have to wait until early in the morning to arrest people. In the early morning, I have to arrest people and deploy ambushes, so how can I have time to deal with these soldiers? It's all your fault. The remnants of blood on the sword dripped down the blade, and it was terrifying.

Yang Zan gritted his teeth and glared at Li Su angrily, trembling with anger. Shi Sun Rui pushed away Li Su's war knife and said loudly, "What are the two adults arguing about? If Tian Yi hadn't seen through our plan, we would have been able to successfully kill Dong Zhuo near the Imperial Garden, which was an accident and had nothing to do with the command of the two adults. Hurry up and figure it out, hurry up. ”

"Now only the 1,000 men and horses who protect His Majesty can be adjusted." Li Su turned his head to look at the fierce battle in the direction of the palace gate, and shouted angrily,

"Tell Lord Liu to come and help."

There was a loud bang ...... "boom", and the palace door was slammed open. The Iron Knight shouted, roared, and roared.

Kim Joon flew on his horse excitedly, screaming wildly, hoarse,

"Kill in, kill in." There were too many people, and the war horse faced the surging flow of people, and there was no room to stretch its legs.

Jin Zhun had no choice but to jump off his horse and rush into the palace with a group of guards. Li Su also fought at this time, and he and Lu Ben ordered Liu Yi to take the guards of the Southern Army to turn around and meet the Xiliang soldiers.

"Hold them off, kill the people of Xiliang, and protect Your Majesty......" Yang Zan and the guards ordered Fu Yong to command Qu to storm Dong Zhuo's convoy at any cost.

After a fight, most of Dong Zhuo's three hundred guards were lost, but because the narrow terrain was very beneficial to them, they were still struggling to support.

Thousands of people and horses crowded on the royal road within a hundred steps of the palace gate of Weiyang Palace. Yongmen. Five hundred horsemen galloped in.

They were greeted not by the smiling Simas of the city gates, but by a dense barrage of arrows and roaring ballistas. A sudden burst of wild shooting killed more than half of the unsuspecting Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Xiliang soldiers who survived were scattered, hurriedly turned their horses' heads, and fled for their lives.

Taishifu. Several knights rushed over, and they were ordered by Jin Zhun to report to Liu Ai in the Taishi Mansion, asking for the requisition of the two hundred tigers who remained in the Taishi Mansion.

There was a mess in front of the Taishi's Mansion, and dozens of tiger soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Bursts of angry roars and fierce fighting came from the Taishi's mansion, and occasionally a few piercing screams could be heard.

One of the knights screamed, immediately reined in his horse, turned around and ran. The other four knights rushed to the front of the palace on horseback, and before they could dismount, a dense barrage of crossbow arrows shot out from behind the two open gates.

The people cried out in pain, the horses neighed, and the people and the horses fell to the ground in unison. Situ House. Listening to the sound of war drums and horns from afar, the atmosphere in Situ's mansion suddenly became tense.

After receiving Jin Zhun's urgent report, Dong Huang, the panicked lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, was anxious and rushed to the palace with two thousand tigers.

Most of the ministers and officials didn't know what was going on, and they were talking in the lobby one by one. At this time, the door of Situ Mansion suddenly closed.

The ministers were even more horrified. Could it be that the Northern Xinjiang Army was killed under the city of Chang'an? Or maybe the Xiliang rebels are approaching the Jingshi?

Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Chun Yujia, Taifu Lu Kui, Dahonglu Zhou Huan and other ministers looked calm, still sitting together and talking.

Huangfu Song strode into the study. Wang Yun put down the book in his hand and looked up at Huangfu Song, the expression on his face looked very melancholy and uneasy.

"Brother Yizhen, have all the affairs of the General's Mansion been resolved?" Huangfu Song nodded and sat aside,

"Dong Zhuo has killed too many people, and there are too many enemies, whether it is the disciple of the great general He Jin, or the protégé disciple of Yuan Valve, they all hate him to the extreme, and they are bound to kill him quickly. We have these people charging into battle, how can the people of Taishi Mansion have a chance of survival? They were all killed, and no chickens and dogs remained. Wang Yun frowned, picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it, and then put it down again.

He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What about Liu Ai?" Did you kill it too? Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

"Liu Ai used to be a military officer under the account of the old general Huangfu, and he was the old general's former official, and his friendship with you is not bad, otherwise he would not have agreed to you this time, and he gave you seven blank holy decrees at one time." Wang Yun sighed,

"I know you can't bear to kill him, but you have to think about the consequences of not killing him."

"My lord, Liu Ai is a famous scholar in Western Xinjiang, and in his mind, the safety of the Han Sheji and the Son of Heaven will always come first. In this regard, he is the same as us. Huangfu Song whispered,

"Dong Zhuo is a chaotic minister and thief, this is a thing for all to see, killing Dong Zhuo, in addition to ** pigtail, protecting the community, and securing the world, this is the responsibility of every Han person, and it is also the responsibility of Liu Ai. Since he is willing to give us the holy decree, and has always kept it a secret for us, and has not hesitated to give us his life, we should trust him. ”

"After Dong Zhuo was killed, the armies of Niu Fu, Duan Xuan, Bao Hong, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Jia Xu must be appeased. He is the most suitable person, kill him, what will happen to these generals and the army? What do we use to defeat them? Do you want the Northern Xinjiang Army to enter the customs? Or ask Han Sui and Ma Teng to lead the army into Chang'an? "Huangfu Song raised his finger and pointed to the west,

"After this battle to the death, Lu Bu's army has little left, and it is difficult to do anything, and we only have one way to appease at present."

"What do you mean......" Wang Yun's face became ugly,

"The Hu Zhen in the lobby can't be killed?"

"Yes, we have long said that the disciples of the Dong thief's clan and the former officials will all be killed, but they do not include the generals of the Northern Army." Huangfu Song said undoubtedly.

"What about Ushisuke? Isn't it possible to kill Niu Fu too? ”

"Niu Fu can be killed, but not now." Huangfu Song said,

"Niu Fu's matter, we can consider it in the long run, because he still has an army of more than 30,000 people under his command." Wang Yun slapped his palm on the case, and said angrily: "Brother Yizhen, don't kill this, don't kill that, in the end, we will die without a place to bury." ”

"Even if you want to kill, take your time. We waited for a year and a half to let them lose their vigilance, and then we waited for an opportunity to take their military power. Huangfu Song said calmly,

"Urgency leads to change." Wang Yun glared at Huang Fu Song angrily and didn't say a word, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Huang Fu Song's approach.

"My lord, it's time to arrest someone." Huangfu Song arched his hand and said,

"Today, as long as we eradicate the Dong thief, everything else will be easy to do." Jump to
