It is said that since Lu Bu became Dong Zhuo's grandson-in-law, Dong Zhuo has no worries at all. In the west, his son-in-law Niu Fu has 100,000 Xiliang troops garrisoned in Chang'an and Guanzhong, in the north his grandson-in-law Lu Bu has 80,000 Bingzhou troops garrisoned, and in the east Hu Zhen guards Hulao Guan, Cao Cao's army was stationed in Yanzhou in the south, and Luoyang was in an absolutely safe place. Dong Zhuo also completely let himself go and began to take the elixir refined by the alchemists in search of the art of immortality. Possibly due to taking too many elixirs, long-term drinking and sex, which caused a large amount of toxins to accumulate in his body, Dong Zhuo fell ill, and the palace doctors were helpless.

Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, had fought with Dong Zhuo for many years but had never been reused. He wanted to take the opportunity to gain power in the Xiliang Army, so he thought of Dong Zhuo's first confidant Li Ru, hoping to get his help.

"Mr. Wen is the first to be born. The prime minister is seriously ill and may die soon. The Xiliang army cannot be left without a master for a day. Please help me win the power. I will be grateful to you in the future." Dong Min was respectful.

Li Ru glanced at Dong Min with disdain, "Although the general is the younger brother of the prime minister, the prime minister seems to prefer Li Jue, Guo Si, etc., does the general know why?"

Li Ru's words directly hit Dong Min's pain point. His status in the Xiliang army was not comparable to that of the five commanders. Even warriors like Li Jue and Guo Si were on top of him. He couldn't hold back and blurted out "I don't know."

"The general has no ink and is not as brave as Li Guo. How can he convince the crowd? I advise you to return to the house and stay safe, otherwise you will be dead." After Li Ru finished speaking, he made a look like seeing off guests. attitude.

Dong Min was angry and annoyed, but he had no military power and couldn't get angry easily, so he left angrily.

"Come out, Dong Min has left." Li Ru said to the inner room.

A person walked out of the inner room, it was Duan Xuan, one of the five commanders. He saluted Li Ru and said, "The Prime Minister may die soon. Mr. Wen Yi, has he thought about who he will serve next?"

Li Ru smiled and asked, "Hasn't General ever thought about being independent?"

Duan Xuan was originally from the powerful Wuwei family, and was a younger brother of Taiwei Duan Xizhi. He was the first military general to follow Dong Zhuo. He was appointed as the prefect of Huayin. After Niu Fu took over Guanzhong, he went to the court to accompany him and became one of the commanders of the Feixiong Army. He himself doesn't have much ambition and just wants to keep his family's wealth.

Seeing that Duan Xuan did not respond, Li Ru continued, "After the death of the prime minister, Niu Fu will definitely lead troops to the capital. He is the son-in-law of the prime minister and is the most qualified to succeed the prime minister. However, this person is narrow-minded and jealous of talents. I am afraid he cannot tolerate you and me. If the general wants to keep his wealth, we must take action first.”

Li Ru's words struck Duan Xuan's heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What should I do? Please teach me, sir."

"Brother Ling is a prince of the current dynasty and has the military talisman to mobilize the Forbidden Army. The general and I each have 20,000 Feixiong troops in our hands, which is equal to the troops in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. If we can get the support of the two generals of the Forbidden Army, Zhang Ji and Fan Si, , we will be able to take control of the power, and then the general will be the general of the dynasty, and I will be the prime minister. If you and I join forces, there is no need to worry about the failure of great things." Li Ru said happily.

"Okay, done! I'll go back and discuss with my brother to win the support of the Forbidden Army." After saying that, Duan Yan turned and left.

Li Ru raised his lips, called his confidants, took out two secret letters, and asked them to send them to Li Jue and Guo Si. Everything was in his plan.

Guo Si was shocked when he received Li Ru's secret letter and came to Li Jue's house overnight.

"Zhiran, look at this." Guo Bang took out the secret letter from his arms and was about to give it to Li Jue.

Li Jue waved his hand, "I received it too. It seems that the capital is going to be uneasy."

"What are Zhiran going to do? You and I are both horse thieves. If it weren't for the promotion of the Prime Minister, how could we be where we are today? Duan Yan is going to rebel." Guo Si was a little worried.

"Adou, I have a plan. We will enter the palace tonight and seize the power of the imperial army. If Zhang Ji and Fan Si are willing to follow us, let them join us and make us rich together. If they don't, we will kill them." Li Jue said as he spoke. , eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I will go back and mobilize the flying heroes to meet you and fight into the palace." Guo Si said.

June in Luoyang is extremely hot and dry. There were complaints in the Forbidden Army camp. Their treatment was not as good as that of the Xiliang Army, but they had to shoulder more defense duties. It was already night, and many people had not slept yet.

"Old Wang, what do you think the Xiliang army is doing now?"

"Maybe I'm playing with someone else's little wife on a common people's kang."

The barracks of the Forbidden Army were full of such remarks. As the commanders of the Forbidden Army, Zhang Ji and Fan Si were also in trouble. Their status was originally equivalent to that of Li Jue and Guo Si. However, Li Guo and Li Guo had the support of Niu Fu and were promoted. If the speed exceeds his own, his salary will be much higher than his own.

Zhang Fan slept in the military camp every day, but Li Guo had his own mansion. For the future of the Zhang family, Zhang Ji cruelly asked his nephew Zhang Xiu to serve in the Niu Fu Army.

Zhang Jizheng and Fan Si were drinking, and they were already 70 to 80% drunk. Only the anesthesia of alcohol could make them fall asleep. There was a lot of noise outside the military camp. Zhang Ji cursed, "What are you doing again in the middle of the night?"

A Forbidden Army soldier covered in blood crawled into the tent and said with his last breath, "Guo Si led the Feixiong Army and came in."

Fan Silk threw down the wine jar and took out his sword to pay the bill. When the night wind blew, he was so drunk that he could not walk steadily. Guo Bang came over on his horse and cut off Fan Silk's head with a knife.

Poor Fan Si, a famous general, did not die on the battlefield at Hulao Pass, but died at the hands of the Xiliang army.

Guo Bang rushed into the tent and threw Fan Silk's head. Zhang Ji was so frightened that he sobered up. "Guo Aduo, what do you want?"

Guo Si raised his broadsword and said to Zhang Ji, "As I remember this, if you surrender to me today with the imperial army, you can protect your wealth, otherwise Fan Si will be your fate!"

Thinking of his beloved wife at home, Zhang Ji had no choice but to surrender and thus handed over the command of the Forbidden Army.

Li Jue and Guo Si reorganized the imperial army and decided to enter the palace at night, seize the Xiliang army's military symbols from Dong Zhuo, and monopolize the power of the Xiliang army.

Dong Zhuo is on his deathbed. At this time, he recalls his life in his mind, just like a movie, and the past events are repeated scene by scene.

He joined the army when he was young and made friends with the Qiang people and powerful men in Liangzhou. Because of his outgoing personality, he gained support from many people. When Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was in power, he became Yu Linlang. He made many military exploits and was promoted continuously, and finally became the governor of Liangzhou. In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he led troops to Beijing under the order of General He Jin, achieved his own hegemony, monopolized power, and deposed the emperor. In the battle of Hulao Pass, he defeated the coalition of princes and shocked the world. Since then, he has become the actual helmsman of the entire Han Dynasty. Decades have passed like this, and he has no regrets. Thinking of his most beloved granddaughters marrying Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo smiled and closed his eyes. Lu Bu, that man, should be able to become the successor of Overlord.

Li Jue hacked to death the soldiers guarding the palace gate, kicked open the door of Dong Zhuo's palace, and found that Dong Zhuo had expired. Guo Bin looked at Li Jue, "The prime minister has passed away, what should we do now?"

Li Jue quickly regained his consciousness, "The Prime Minister is dead, but the Emperor is still here. Let's push the Emperor out, and then kill Li Ru and Duan Xuan. The court will be ours."

"What a good idea. Zhi Ran, you go find the emperor, and I'll go kill Li Ru and Duan Xuan. We'll split up."

That night, many things happened. Guo Si led troops to annihilate the three tribes of Li Ru, Duan Xuan, Duan Xi and others. Dong Min escaped from Luoyang City and ran to Chang'an. The young Emperor Xian of Han returned to the court. Li Jue was awarded the title of Grand Sima, Guo Si was made the General of Chariots and Cavalry, and Zhang Ji was made the General of Hussars. The three of them were in charge of all the troops and horses in the city.

Li Jue and Guo Si were originally horse thieves. They took power today and ordered their sergeants to plunder the city for three days. For a time, Luoyang became a hell on earth, with corpses everywhere, people setting fires everywhere, and all the women in the city were raped by Xiliang. The army was ruined, and even the nobles were not immune.

This is a sad day for the people of Luoyang.

The news of Dong Zhuo's death was not concealed. Niu Fu in Chang'an, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Lu Bu in Bingzhou, and Tao Qian in Xuzhou were all ready to move to the capital.

Another bloody storm is about to take place!
