[Comprehensive] One Hundred Ways to Rob the Protagonist
Chapter 50 Three Kingdoms 3
After receiving the news that the coalition forces of the Eastern princes were approaching Sishui Pass, Yongning County began to take action.
Both Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun knew that after Dong Zhuo lost several battles and even Lu Bu was overwhelmed by Liu Bei's three brothers, Li Ru would give Dong Zhuo an idea to move his capital to Chang'an.So Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, beheaded thousands of wealthy households in Luoyang, murdered people, robbed women, and excavated mausoleums, forcing millions of people in Luoyang to move the capital with him. The catastrophic consequences of dog-man smoking".
The reason why they stayed in Yongning to recruit troops and stand up for themselves was to avoid this day.
Dong Zhuo and the allied forces of the eastern princes fought a decisive battle in front of Hulao Pass, fifty miles east of Luoyang, while Yongning was less than forty miles southwest of Luoyang, behind Dong Zhuo's unsuspecting rear.When Dong Zhuo personally led the generals to lead an army of 20 to leave Luoyang, it was the time for Chu Tianshu and the others to act.Moreover, their actions must be fast, and they must not give Dong Zhuo a chance to lead his troops back to rescue.
After discussing with Xie Kun, Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun decided that Shi Bao would lead five hundred of the best soldiers to meet them outside the city. Thousands of soldiers defending Yongning are considered to have completed the task.
Dong Zhuo's dispatch of troops was very noisy, and he had no intention of hiding it from anyone.Even if he left Luoyang with 20 soldiers, there were still [-] soldiers stationed in Luoyang City, and he didn't worry at all that anyone could bypass Hulao Pass and attack Luoyang.
Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun were only dressed as ordinary couples, but they blatantly entered Luoyang City after Dong Zhuo sent troops.When it was late at night, the two changed into black clothes and walked into the palace.
Some of the soldiers left by Dong Zhuo were stationed outside the city, and the other part, in addition to guarding the city, mainly concentrated inside and outside the palace to guard the little puppet emperor.
Located in the center of Luoyang City, the Imperial Palace is divided into four palaces, east, west, north, south, and several palace groups of Changqiu, Yong'an, and Yongle.
The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty used to live in the North Palace and deal with political affairs in the South Palace.However, the palace where the previous emperors lived is openly occupied by Dong Zhuo, while the real emperor Liu Xie can only live in a corner of the North Palace.Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun did not find Liu Xie at all along the central axis. They could only find the place where Liu Xie lived based on the number of guards.
It was past the time to fall asleep, but Liu Xie didn't feel sleepy at all.He was lying on the bed with his fists clenched, his eyes open looking at the deep darkness, his white face was full of anxiety.The little eunuch secretly told him that Dong Zhuo left Luoyang with 20 soldiers, because Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and other eunuchs jointly sent troops to conquer Dong Zhuo, and they were already approaching Luoyang.
How much Liu Xie hoped that they could defeat Dong Zhuo, arrest this traitor and bring him to the imperial court, and let him personally announce that he would execute Ling Chi!
The hall suddenly lit up, and a figure turned from the end of the bed, holding a bright ball in his hand, and walked to the head of his bed.
Liu Xie was taken aback, looked at the woman in black who appeared inexplicably in front of him, and shrank back vigilantly: "Who are you? What is Kui Ye's intention here?"
Chu Tianshu looked at this young man who was only about ten years old, and softened his tone a bit: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised. My surname is Chu. My first mother is the descendant of King Lu Gong, who is related to Your Majesty. I have heard that Dong Zhuo is not a minister. Cruel and unkind, I am here to see His Majesty tonight, and I am willing to serve His Majesty."
Liu Xie didn't believe it immediately, but looked at Chu Tianshu carefully: "What do you want to do?"
"Dong Zhuo took away 20 troops, and there were only a few thousand troops left in Luoyang. This is the opportunity to do something. If Your Majesty has an order, I am willing to convey it to His Majesty to eradicate the bandit army. This is the one action."
Liu Xie hesitated.He didn't know if he should believe this strange woman who appeared suddenly, what if it was a trap?Moreover, the Tiger Talisman was not in his hands, and the Yuxi Seal was also missing. The Yulin Army and the Huben Army were under the control of Dong Zhuo, and he had no idea who else would be loyal to him.
"When is it still hesitating!" Xie Kun pushed the door and entered, throwing the two heads in his hand on the ground.Liu Xie was so frightened that he almost cried out, but upon closer inspection it turned out to be Sima, Dong Zhuo's confidants who were in charge of guarding him!
Surprise flooded my heart, Liu Xie stood up from the bed at once, looked up at Xie Kun who was also dressed in black but full of murderous looks, and praised: "You are a brave warrior! You and Mrs. Chu are together Is it?"
"My surname is Xie, and I'm her husband." Xie Kun glanced at Chu Tianshu, and then looked at Liu Xie with impatience in his eyes, "If Madam insisted on coming, I wouldn't care about your mess matter!"
The more Xie Kun was impolite, the more Liu Xie felt that he had no malice: "Thank you two loyal men!" He bowed deeply to the two, "Dong Zhuo, the old thief, committed a heinous crime, but he has a heavy soldier in his hand, and even more so." There is a mighty general, Lu Bu, so don't act rashly. Now that the princes are diligent and powerful, there may be good news coming soon."
To put it bluntly, Liu Xie felt that the two of them were alone and alone, and acting rashly would not only fail to save him, but might anger Dong Zhuo.It would be better to wait a few days, in case Dong Zhuo is defeated by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, there is no need to take risks.
Xie Kun sneered: "Dong Zhuo's defeat is probably not good news for you and the common people." Chu Tianshu saw that Liu Xie clearly had a kind of admiration for powerful men towards Xie Kun, so he stopped talking and waited for Xie Kun to persuade him. Liu Xie.
"Dong Zhuo is defeated, is he willing to let go? He just needs to return to the army to bring you and flee in the direction of Chang'an. Who can stop him?"
Liu Xie turned pale when he heard this.If he was kidnapped and fled by the failed Dong Zhuo, he would suffer more humiliation and pain.But Dong Zhuo is really not a kind person, as long as it is good for him, he doesn't care how many people he kills.
"Then, can the two righteous men stay and protect me? I will reward you heavily!" Liu Xie thought of how easily these two men could get into the palace and kill both Sima without making a sound, which shows how powerful they are. , if they can protect themselves, they should not be hijacked by Dong Zhuo.
"This is a bad strategy!" Xie Kun criticized him unceremoniously, "No matter how powerful the two of us are, we will suffer losses in the face of thousands of troops. If we want to solve the problem fundamentally, we cannot be so timid and cringe , Wait for the situation to change. Instead, you should take the initiative to make the situation change in a direction that is beneficial to you!"
Liu Xie's eyes sparkled after being trained by him: "Xie Jun is right! But I don't know what is the best policy?"
"Naturally, the best strategy is to wipe out Dong Zhuo's power in Luoyang City, raise troops to attack, attack back and forth with the Kwantung Allied Forces, and wipe out most of Dong Zhuo!"
Liu Xie nodded: "What about Zhongce?"
"The middle strategy is to secretly contact the army loyal to the Han Dynasty. On the surface, it will be calm, but in fact, when Dong Zhuo's army is defeated, lay an ambush on the way it must pass, and kill Dong Zhuo!"
Liu Xie looked at Xie Kun with eyes full of admiration: "Yes! How can I sit still and wait for death?"
Xie Kun snorted: "Hurry up and take out any hole cards you have, otherwise the two of us will not be able to turn the tide."
Liu Xie walked around the hall twice, and finally made up his mind. He took out the silk and wrote an edict in his own handwriting, stamping his own small seal: "There are two captains in the Huben Army and the Yulin Army. This is the second time to contact me. Sima of Beigong Arsenal is also my man."
"I worship Mr. Xie as General Pinglu, who is in charge of the Luoyang army and has the right to deal with it cheaply." Liu Xie glanced at Chu Tianshu, "After the matter is completed, Mrs. Chu will also reward you."
Xie Kun doesn't have many elite men now, and he doesn't plan to consume the soldiers he has trained so hard for Liu Xie.What's more, if he wanted to have a legitimate identity, he would have to go to Liu Xie for a tour in order to recruit troops and buy horses in an upright manner.From a long-term point of view, if they first gained a relatively high degree of favorability with Liu Xie, then Liu Xie would rather cooperate with them if they wanted to coerce the emperor to make the princes.
For these reasons, the two of them chose to enter the palace to show their allegiance to Liu Xie.
Xie Kun took the edict and nodded to Chu Tianshu: "Madam will stay here to protect His Majesty temporarily, and I will go now."
Chu Tianshu took out some life-saving potions from the space and stuffed them to him: "Be careful."
Xie Kun nodded, and walked out the door. Chu Tianshu told Liu Xie to go to bed to rest, turned off the lamp in his hand, and sat in the dark to wait.
It didn't take long before the sound of fighting was heard not far away, but it disappeared quickly.
Liu Xie sat up nervously, not knowing what happened.
"Don't worry. The clumsy man is very skilled, so he won't be discovered by others. The current movement should be that he went to the Beigong arsenal first, and brought people to kill Dong Zhuo's subordinates." First occupy the palace, protect Liu Xie, and then Only then can he use him as a call to gather people to deal with Dong Zhuo.
Sure enough, not long after, someone begged to see him outside the hall: "Chenbei Palace Arsenal Sima Yuan Jing begs to see His Majesty!"
Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yuan Jing's voice.The little eunuch who was awakened tremblingly came in and lit the lamp, but he didn't notice Chu Tianshu standing in the dark at all.
Yuan Jing put on his armor and entered, and was relieved to see that Liu Xie was safe and sound.In the middle of the night, someone dragged him out of bed and asked him to lead someone to take over the defense of the palace and protect the emperor. He was also shocked and frightened!
But along the way, almost all the guards of the palace gate were killed. They only encountered a small-scale resistance, and they came to His Majesty's Palace smoothly.
Could this be the blessing of the Holy Son of Heaven, Bailing?
"Your Majesty, the army in the palace has been wiped out, but I don't know if there are any remnants of Dong's bandits lurking, please be careful. I immediately contact the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and ask them to lead the guards in their respective mansions to clean up the remaining Dong's bandits in the city!" Yuan Jing Very excited, volunteered to expand the results.
Chu Tianshu stood in the dark and didn't comment at all.
Like all princes, she is not really loyal to the Han Dynasty or the emperor, but wants to get what she wants from the emperor.It's just that what the heroes of the Three Kingdoms want is territorial power, and what she wants is to save the people.
As long as Liu Xie is not dead now, it is enough to give her an irrefutable title and let their team expand legitimately.
Seeing that Chu Tianshu didn't speak up, Liu Xie was very satisfied, and felt that this woman kept her duty.
"Since that's the case, I will appoint you as an infantry lieutenant. You should be careful!" Liu Xie had never been so happy to appoint an official. Seeing Yuan Jing respectfully salute and thank you, his heart was full of joy.
Overnight, earth-shaking changes took place in Luoyang City.The shouts of killing could be heard everywhere on the street, and the common people shut their doors and windows tightly, not daring to look outside for fear of being hurt.
Dong Zhuo's soldiers left in the capital were much fiercer than Yuan Jing had imagined. He led nearly a thousand people from his headquarters, plus nearly a thousand guards from several ministers' homes, and fought on the street with two thousand Xiliang cavalry, causing heavy casualties. .
At a critical moment, the gate of the city suddenly opened, and thousands of reinforcements arrived. They turned out to be the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and the Huben Army outside the city that had been controlled by Dong Zhuo.
The big picture is set.
The guards at the Luoyang city gate were all changed, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers were all killed. For the first time, Liu Xie walked into the Nangong hall with joy, and looked at the princes, princes and ministers below, full of tears.
"Anyway, this time, the first credit should go to General Pinglu!"
At this time, Liu Xie remembered that he still didn't know Xie Kun's name.
Xie Kun traveled hundreds of miles overnight, but his face was still radiant, only the dust on his hair showed a little trace of running.
He entered the palace with his head held high, and when he saw him, almost all the generals who participated in the battle last night twitched.Think about someone standing by your bedside in the middle of the night and waking you up by calling your name. What would that feel like?
This shows that if people want their lives, it is completely easy!
"Minister, Xie Kun greets His Majesty." As soon as Xie Kun's name was mentioned, several ministers felt that it sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered that there was a man named Xie Kun in Yongning County who killed many Xiliang soldiers under Dong Zhuo!
When I asked, it was really him!
Xie Kun said that his mother-in-law was a daughter of the clan, and in terms of seniority, she was also Liu Xie's cousin, so he was loyal to the Han family, and he couldn't see Dong Zhuo being so arrogant and domineering.After hearing that Dong Zhuo poisoned the young emperor, he became angry and wanted to help the Han Dynasty and kill Dong Zhuo, so he came to serve His Majesty when Dong Zhuo left Luoyang with his troops.
Hearing that he came from an ordinary poor family, many ministers showed disdain at that time.
When Xie Kun proposed to integrate the army, take the initiative to attack, and attack Dong Zhuo with the Kwantung Allied Forces, he was ridiculed. It was nothing more than saying that he was too young and thought things too simply. Things he is qualified to intervene in.
Xie Kun didn't argue, and let them start fighting for power and profit in the court.Before Dong Zhuo died, they had already begun to divide the power in Dong Zhuo's hands into several parts, attacking, competing, trading, and compromising with each other, just to expand their own interests.
Including those so-called Sangongs, they are all immersed in the pleasure of sharing benefits.
All the officials standing in the court were such officials, and the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty was doomed to perish.
Liu Xie also felt something was wrong, and the joy on his face slowly disappeared.He broke free from Dong Zhuo's grasp, but it seemed that these ministers who said they were loyal to the Han Dynasty and him did not regard him as the emperor as they said.They still want to treat him like a puppet like Dong Zhuo did.
Back in the palace, Liu Xie wanted to announce Xie Kun's audience, but was told by Yuan Jing that it was against the rules.
Liu Xie was so angry that he slammed the table in the room. It turned out that it was just another jailer. Is he still the same prisoner in the embroidered dragon robe?
"Your Majesty wants to see me, what's the matter?" Xie Kun's voice came from behind, and when Liu Xie turned his head to see him, it was as if he saw a savior.
"General Xie!" Liu Xie felt aggrieved inexplicably when he looked at Xie Kun's cold but trustworthy face, "Why are they treating me like this?"
Xie Kun thought, of course it's because you don't have any power of your own, so you can only be manipulated by others.
"I don't understand that." Xie Kun didn't speak his mind, "I only know how to fight, and I don't understand what those officials are thinking."
This kind of simple words made Liu Xie feel that he was more reliable: "But now they don't listen to me at all. I clearly told them the best strategy to attack back and forth, but none of them care about this matter!"
"Maybe they are worried that they will lose their manpower if they attack Dong Zhuo. If they fail, Dong Zhuo will take revenge again." Xie Kun unceremoniously labeled those officials.
"Aren't you afraid, General Xie?"
"If I'm afraid, I won't kill those Xiliang soldiers twice."
Liu Xie looked at Xie Kun with admiration, but was very worried and didn't know how to deal with Dong Zhuo.He didn't want Dong Zhuo to come back alive.
"How about this, His Majesty gave me an imperial edict to recruit troops. I still have some money in my family. I will recruit an army to serve Your Majesty."
Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the current situation, it is similar to being controlled by Dong Zhuo.At that time, the big deal is that Xie Kun will be another Dong Zhuo, how bad can it be?If Xie Kun is really loyal, maybe he will have to rely on him to reshape the universe.
He gritted his teeth, found a special silk, and wrote an imperial edict to Xie Kun, appointing him as the captain of Sili -- this is a high-ranking official, but for Liu Xie, it doesn't cost much -- and Grant Xie Kun the privilege of recruiting troops to serve as king.
Satisfied, Xie Kun left the palace with the imperial decree, and asked Liu Xie to bear it for the time being. As long as he lives well, there is hope.
The husband and wife completed one of the goals, and left Liu Xie in the palace to start the next goal.
The two lieutenants of the Huben Army and the Yulin Army were ordered to enter the city to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment. They thought they had done the most, but they didn't get the desired reward. They were dissatisfied, and Xie Kun appeared.
He shared the same hatred with them and criticized Yuan Jing and the princes of the current dynasty together. Xie Kun encouraged them to attack Dong Zhuo with him.The two school lieutenants who scolded Dong Zhuo with righteous indignation just now changed immediately. They had lingering fears of Lu Bu's bravery, and they dared not make him an enemy at all.
Xie Kun took the next best thing and invited them to ambush Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo heard about the incident in Luoyang City, he would definitely return to the army immediately.Without Liu Xie, he would not have any qualifications to point fingers at court officials. Even if he is a strong soldier, he will not be able to live up to his name and words, and he will be the enemy at every step.
So they will definitely want to rush into Luoyang City and hold Liu Xie hostage.Set up an ambush on the road they must pass, and catch them by surprise, and you will be able to make great achievements.
On the one hand, the two school lieutenants want to be rich and famous, but on the other hand, they are afraid of losing their heads.Xie Kun was helpless, so he asked them to bring their own soldiers to meet in the rear, and Xie Kun himself took their two 4000 people to ambush.If Lu Bu was defeated and died, it would be Xie Kun's own bad luck; if he was lucky enough to win and made meritorious service, he would share it with them at that time.
The two school lieutenants smiled when they heard it, and said "this is not good" while saying "then there will be General Lao Xie", feeling that they had taken advantage of it.
What Xie Kun wanted was their soldiers, so he managed to achieve his goal with all his efforts.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo received an urgent report and learned that there was a mutiny in Luoyang City. After the thousands of soldiers he left behind were killed by Liu Xie's multi-party cooperation, he immediately became furious and insulted Liu Xie in the army tent. , Immediately ordered to withdraw troops and return to Luoyang.
However, the Kwantung Allied Forces were staring at the rear. If they retreated in a hurry, they would be chased by these princes and lead to a rout.
Dong Zhuo could only dispatch [-] soldiers and let Li Jue take them to Luoyang to take down Luoyang City.
Li Jue was on his way in the starry night, but was ambushed when he was twenty miles away from Luoyang City!A group of elite soldiers cut his team into two sections, and the general who led the army held a pitch-black point steel gun, and entered the crowd of thousands of troops as if he had entered no one's land.None of Li Jue's generals was his three-in-one enemy, but he lost three generals in just a few encounters.
When Li Jue issued an order to let the front army return, and when the rear army flanked and surrounded the opponent, the opponent led the soldiers back like the wind.With the general's gun, he left with such ease.
Li Jue rectified his troops and found that he had lost thousands of people!Half of them were killed by the general, but the other half were trampled in the night and fell into a trap to death.
Hatred of the unknown general, Li Jue could only move on with his troops.Just after ten miles away, another elite soldier rushed out, the leading general was dressed in black, he couldn't even see his face clearly, only saw a bright silver gun in the general's hand, waving it like pear blossoms falling with the snow, the beauty was It's beautiful, but as long as it sticks to it, it's a dead word!
Similarly, after harassing and fighting, this team quickly retreated before being surrounded.
Thousands more were lost this time.
The morale of the whole team was low, and Li Jue had no choice but to order to camp in place and rectify and rest.
After being harassed twice and tossing all night on the verge of life and death, the soldiers were exhausted, and after tidying up their tents, they fell asleep one by one.
Just after falling asleep, the gong sounded, and a team rushed out, rushed directly to the edge of the tent, set fire to it, and ran away.
After the sky brightened, Li Jue himself had two dark circles under his eyes, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, who were listless when walking, as if they could fall asleep at any time, so how could they have the energy to attack the city?
Li Jue had an ominous premonition, feeling that he had fallen into some kind of trap this time.
The author has something to say: I didn't have time to catch bugs, if there is any problem, I will modify it tomorrow.Good night.
Both Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun knew that after Dong Zhuo lost several battles and even Lu Bu was overwhelmed by Liu Bei's three brothers, Li Ru would give Dong Zhuo an idea to move his capital to Chang'an.So Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, beheaded thousands of wealthy households in Luoyang, murdered people, robbed women, and excavated mausoleums, forcing millions of people in Luoyang to move the capital with him. The catastrophic consequences of dog-man smoking".

Dong Zhuo and the allied forces of the eastern princes fought a decisive battle in front of Hulao Pass, fifty miles east of Luoyang, while Yongning was less than forty miles southwest of Luoyang, behind Dong Zhuo's unsuspecting rear.When Dong Zhuo personally led the generals to lead an army of 20 to leave Luoyang, it was the time for Chu Tianshu and the others to act.Moreover, their actions must be fast, and they must not give Dong Zhuo a chance to lead his troops back to rescue.

Located in the center of Luoyang City, the Imperial Palace is divided into four palaces, east, west, north, south, and several palace groups of Changqiu, Yong'an, and Yongle.
The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty used to live in the North Palace and deal with political affairs in the South Palace.However, the palace where the previous emperors lived is openly occupied by Dong Zhuo, while the real emperor Liu Xie can only live in a corner of the North Palace.Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun did not find Liu Xie at all along the central axis.

How much Liu Xie hoped that they could defeat Dong Zhuo, arrest this traitor and bring him to the imperial court, and let him personally announce that he would execute Ling Chi!

"Your Majesty, the army in the palace has been wiped out, but I don't know if there are any remnants of Dong's bandits lurking, please be careful. I immediately contact the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and ask them to lead the guards in their respective mansions to clean up the remaining Dong's bandits in the city!" Yuan Jing Very excited, volunteered to expand the results.
Chu Tianshu stood in the dark and didn't comment at all.
Like all princes, she is not really loyal to the Han Dynasty or the emperor, but wants to get what she wants from the emperor.It's just that what the heroes of the Three Kingdoms want is territorial power, and what she wants is to save the people.
As long as Liu Xie is not dead now, it is enough to give her an irrefutable title and let their team expand legitimately.
Seeing that Chu Tianshu didn't speak up, Liu Xie was very satisfied, and felt that this woman kept her duty.
"Since that's the case, I will appoint you as an infantry lieutenant. You should be careful!" Liu Xie had never been so happy to appoint an official. Seeing Yuan Jing respectfully salute and thank you, his heart was full of joy.
Overnight, earth-shaking changes took place in Luoyang City.The shouts of killing could be heard everywhere on the street, and the common people shut their doors and windows tightly, not daring to look outside for fear of being hurt.
Dong Zhuo's soldiers left in the capital were much fiercer than Yuan Jing had imagined. He led nearly a thousand people from his headquarters, plus nearly a thousand guards from several ministers' homes, and fought on the street with two thousand Xiliang cavalry, causing heavy casualties. .
At a critical moment, the gate of the city suddenly opened, and thousands of reinforcements arrived. They turned out to be the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and the Huben Army outside the city that had been controlled by Dong Zhuo.
The big picture is set.
The guards at the Luoyang city gate were all changed, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers were all killed. For the first time, Liu Xie walked into the Nangong hall with joy, and looked at the princes, princes and ministers below, full of tears.
"Anyway, this time, the first credit should go to General Pinglu!"
At this time, Liu Xie remembered that he still didn't know Xie Kun's name.
Xie Kun traveled hundreds of miles overnight, but his face was still radiant, only the dust on his hair showed a little trace of running.
He entered the palace with his head held high, and when he saw him, almost all the generals who participated in the battle last night twitched.Think about someone standing by your bedside in the middle of the night and waking you up by calling your name. What would that feel like?
This shows that if people want their lives, it is completely easy!
"Minister, Xie Kun greets His Majesty." As soon as Xie Kun's name was mentioned, several ministers felt that it sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered that there was a man named Xie Kun in Yongning County who killed many Xiliang soldiers under Dong Zhuo!
When I asked, it was really him!
Xie Kun said that his mother-in-law was a daughter of the clan, and in terms of seniority, she was also Liu Xie's cousin, so he was loyal to the Han family, and he couldn't see Dong Zhuo being so arrogant and domineering.After hearing that Dong Zhuo poisoned the young emperor, he became angry and wanted to help the Han Dynasty and kill Dong Zhuo, so he came to serve His Majesty when Dong Zhuo left Luoyang with his troops.
Hearing that he came from an ordinary poor family, many ministers showed disdain at that time.
When Xie Kun proposed to integrate the army, take the initiative to attack, and attack Dong Zhuo with the Kwantung Allied Forces, he was ridiculed. It was nothing more than saying that he was too young and thought things too simply. Things he is qualified to intervene in.
Xie Kun didn't argue, and let them start fighting for power and profit in the court.Before Dong Zhuo died, they had already begun to divide the power in Dong Zhuo's hands into several parts, attacking, competing, trading, and compromising with each other, just to expand their own interests.
Including those so-called Sangongs, they are all immersed in the pleasure of sharing benefits.
All the officials standing in the court were such officials, and the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty was doomed to perish.
Liu Xie also felt something was wrong, and the joy on his face slowly disappeared.He broke free from Dong Zhuo's grasp, but it seemed that these ministers who said they were loyal to the Han Dynasty and him did not regard him as the emperor as they said.They still want to treat him like a puppet like Dong Zhuo did.
Back in the palace, Liu Xie wanted to announce Xie Kun's audience, but was told by Yuan Jing that it was against the rules.
Liu Xie was so angry that he slammed the table in the room. It turned out that it was just another jailer. Is he still the same prisoner in the embroidered dragon robe?
"Your Majesty wants to see me, what's the matter?" Xie Kun's voice came from behind, and when Liu Xie turned his head to see him, it was as if he saw a savior.
"General Xie!" Liu Xie felt aggrieved inexplicably when he looked at Xie Kun's cold but trustworthy face, "Why are they treating me like this?"
Xie Kun thought, of course it's because you don't have any power of your own, so you can only be manipulated by others.
"I don't understand that." Xie Kun didn't speak his mind, "I only know how to fight, and I don't understand what those officials are thinking."
This kind of simple words made Liu Xie feel that he was more reliable: "But now they don't listen to me at all. I clearly told them the best strategy to attack back and forth, but none of them care about this matter!"
"Maybe they are worried that they will lose their manpower if they attack Dong Zhuo. If they fail, Dong Zhuo will take revenge again." Xie Kun unceremoniously labeled those officials.
"Aren't you afraid, General Xie?"
"If I'm afraid, I won't kill those Xiliang soldiers twice."
Liu Xie looked at Xie Kun with admiration, but was very worried and didn't know how to deal with Dong Zhuo.He didn't want Dong Zhuo to come back alive.
"How about this, His Majesty gave me an imperial edict to recruit troops. I still have some money in my family. I will recruit an army to serve Your Majesty."
Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the current situation, it is similar to being controlled by Dong Zhuo.At that time, the big deal is that Xie Kun will be another Dong Zhuo, how bad can it be?If Xie Kun is really loyal, maybe he will have to rely on him to reshape the universe.
He gritted his teeth, found a special silk, and wrote an imperial edict to Xie Kun, appointing him as the captain of Sili -- this is a high-ranking official, but for Liu Xie, it doesn't cost much -- and Grant Xie Kun the privilege of recruiting troops to serve as king.
Satisfied, Xie Kun left the palace with the imperial decree, and asked Liu Xie to bear it for the time being. As long as he lives well, there is hope.
The husband and wife completed one of the goals, and left Liu Xie in the palace to start the next goal.
The two lieutenants of the Huben Army and the Yulin Army were ordered to enter the city to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment. They thought they had done the most, but they didn't get the desired reward. They were dissatisfied, and Xie Kun appeared.
He shared the same hatred with them and criticized Yuan Jing and the princes of the current dynasty together. Xie Kun encouraged them to attack Dong Zhuo with him.The two school lieutenants who scolded Dong Zhuo with righteous indignation just now changed immediately. They had lingering fears of Lu Bu's bravery, and they dared not make him an enemy at all.
Xie Kun took the next best thing and invited them to ambush Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo heard about the incident in Luoyang City, he would definitely return to the army immediately.Without Liu Xie, he would not have any qualifications to point fingers at court officials. Even if he is a strong soldier, he will not be able to live up to his name and words, and he will be the enemy at every step.
So they will definitely want to rush into Luoyang City and hold Liu Xie hostage.Set up an ambush on the road they must pass, and catch them by surprise, and you will be able to make great achievements.
On the one hand, the two school lieutenants want to be rich and famous, but on the other hand, they are afraid of losing their heads.Xie Kun was helpless, so he asked them to bring their own soldiers to meet in the rear, and Xie Kun himself took their two 4000 people to ambush.If Lu Bu was defeated and died, it would be Xie Kun's own bad luck; if he was lucky enough to win and made meritorious service, he would share it with them at that time.
The two school lieutenants smiled when they heard it, and said "this is not good" while saying "then there will be General Lao Xie", feeling that they had taken advantage of it.
What Xie Kun wanted was their soldiers, so he managed to achieve his goal with all his efforts.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo received an urgent report and learned that there was a mutiny in Luoyang City. After the thousands of soldiers he left behind were killed by Liu Xie's multi-party cooperation, he immediately became furious and insulted Liu Xie in the army tent. , Immediately ordered to withdraw troops and return to Luoyang.
However, the Kwantung Allied Forces were staring at the rear. If they retreated in a hurry, they would be chased by these princes and lead to a rout.
Dong Zhuo could only dispatch [-] soldiers and let Li Jue take them to Luoyang to take down Luoyang City.
Li Jue was on his way in the starry night, but was ambushed when he was twenty miles away from Luoyang City!A group of elite soldiers cut his team into two sections, and the general who led the army held a pitch-black point steel gun, and entered the crowd of thousands of troops as if he had entered no one's land.None of Li Jue's generals was his three-in-one enemy, but he lost three generals in just a few encounters.
When Li Jue issued an order to let the front army return, and when the rear army flanked and surrounded the opponent, the opponent led the soldiers back like the wind.With the general's gun, he left with such ease.
Li Jue rectified his troops and found that he had lost thousands of people!Half of them were killed by the general, but the other half were trampled in the night and fell into a trap to death.
Hatred of the unknown general, Li Jue could only move on with his troops.Just after ten miles away, another elite soldier rushed out, the leading general was dressed in black, he couldn't even see his face clearly, only saw a bright silver gun in the general's hand, waving it like pear blossoms falling with the snow, the beauty was It's beautiful, but as long as it sticks to it, it's a dead word!
Similarly, after harassing and fighting, this team quickly retreated before being surrounded.
Thousands more were lost this time.
The morale of the whole team was low, and Li Jue had no choice but to order to camp in place and rectify and rest.
After being harassed twice and tossing all night on the verge of life and death, the soldiers were exhausted, and after tidying up their tents, they fell asleep one by one.
Just after falling asleep, the gong sounded, and a team rushed out, rushed directly to the edge of the tent, set fire to it, and ran away.
After the sky brightened, Li Jue himself had two dark circles under his eyes, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, who were listless when walking, as if they could fall asleep at any time, so how could they have the energy to attack the city?
Li Jue had an ominous premonition, feeling that he had fallen into some kind of trap this time.
The author has something to say: I didn't have time to catch bugs, if there is any problem, I will modify it tomorrow.Good night.
