Ding Yuan despairedly discovered that after the five battalions of Yanmen decided to jump ship and leave, the soldiers he newly recruited in Henei County were also directly defeated by the Guanxi Army. Yesterday's Spring and Autumn dream shattered and disappeared like a bubble. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his lofty ambitions were shattered. There was no way. He didn't care about the glory and wealth of Luoyang at this moment, so he turned around and ran!
"Don't let Ding Yuan go!!!"
Suddenly, a beautiful young general with furry bear ears, carrying a large Xiliang flag with the Chinese characters "张", rode a fine horse, and used brute force to push through the thousands of troops and galloped towards Ding Yuan! The long spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and he stabbed Ding Yuan to death with one spear! Then he immediately jumped off the horse and cut off Ding Yuan's head. The whole action was energetic and neat, without any drag.
Ding Yuan only felt a sharp pain in his heart and neck, and then he lost consciousness.
At this point, the first warlord civil war in the Han Empire ended with Dong Zhuo's victory. Guo Huai took away more than 10,000 veterans from the five battalions of Bingzhou, while Dong Zhuo took away Ding Yuan's 20,000 new recruits from Henei, as well as 60,000 corvée laborers and logistics.
At this point, Dong Zhuo now has 5,000 elite soldiers from Xiliang, 5,000 Yulin Hu Ben, and 20,000 new soldiers from Henei. Guo Huai and Zhang Liao also have more than 15,000 Bingzhou soldiers, which are Dong Zhuo's allies! With such a terrifying force, even if his Yuan family can persuade the five battalions of the Northern Army and the eight battalions of the Western Garden to unite and take action immediately, I am afraid they will not be able to defeat Dong Zhuo now!
Chapter 212: The Peak of Power
Just like that, overnight, Dong Zhuo, a Xiliang warlord, instantly sat at the pinnacle of power in the entire Han Dynasty. She rubbed her eyes in a trance, looking at the prosperous streets of Luoyang, the trembling ministers from Guandong, the delicate and beautiful dancers and singers, and the table full of fine wine and delicacies, and then she believed that all this was real, not a dream.
The Kanto noble families who once looked down on him now all looked at him with fear and trembled.
The delicacies from land and sea that he could not afford before were now placed on the table in front of him, just like wild vegetables. After he finished eating, someone quickly brought new dishes. Compared with the top feast in Luoyang, the military rations he ate were simply tasteless.
The rare treasures that he once could not afford were now filled in his room like garbage; the silks and satins that he usually was reluctant to use were now stuffed in his closet like rags.
But when he opened the small treasury of Emperor Ling of Han, he was shocked and immersed in the treasures of Luoyang. His breathing accelerated and he even gasped for breath. It was like a worker with a monthly salary of three thousand yuan who suddenly fell into a bank vault storing tens of billions of money and was told that everything he saw belonged to him. He even lost his expression and there was only endless gold and silver treasures in his eyes.
For a moment, the clarity and determination in Dong Zhuo's eyes turned into turbidity and greed. He was addicted to the prosperity of Luoyang and couldn't extricate himself. His entire concept of money was completely shattered by Luoyang's wealth. He had been extremely frugal before and used to spend the money on the army first.
Now, I have become rich overnight, what should I save?! I buy everything I couldn’t afford or dare to buy before!!!
Dong Zhuo, who was blinded by money, tentatively rewarded his subordinates after living a life of extravagance for a few days.
He promoted all the Simas of the other departments who were not part of the official rank to formal colonels, and then promoted the most capable and loyal colonels among them to Generals of the Central Army who commanded five colonels. He even made his younger brother Dong Min, who had made great contributions, a general like himself. The court approved all his ideas. He made his requests in the morning, was given his official positions at noon, and had his seal made in the afternoon.
Dong Zhuo's heartbeat quickened, his breathing became rapid, and his mature and beautiful face showed a sickly flush - did I really succeed? Did I really grasp the supreme power of the Han Dynasty? Now I can make anyone do whatever I want???
After rewarding his direct subordinates, Dong Zhuo immediately appointed Zhang Yang, who was left behind by Ding Yuan in Shangdang County, as the governor of Shangdang, in an attempt to win over Ding Yuan's last old subordinates.
Not only that, she also appointed Guo Huai as the General of Yanmen, rewarded him with one thousand gold and three thousand silks, so that she could legally manage the five camps of Bingzhou's border troops and replace Ding Yuan's position as a military officer, to repay her for her kindness in inciting the Bingzhou border troops to rebel overnight, allowing her to easily capture Ding Yuan.
Dong Zhuo was also generous in rewarding his good brother Liu Zhuang, who had sent troops to support him. Ding Yuan was dead, so I'll give you his post as the governor of Bingzhou. No, no, no, what governor of Bingzhou? That's stingy! If I want to give you anything, I'll give you the post of governor of Bingzhou! I'll also make you the Marquis of Huzhou, and the registered permanent residence of Huzhou County will be your fiefdom!
Among the various aristocratic systems of the Han Dynasty, Hu Hou belonged to Guannei Hou, the nineteenth rank among the twenty ranks of nobility in the Han Dynasty, second only to Lie Hou who could divide the land and establish borders.
The Northern Army's Five Battalions also need to be won over. Let me see, the Cavalry Captain Xu Rong is from Youzhou, and we are both from the frontier army. Come on, sister will take you to live a good life, and I will also promote you to the position of General of the Central Army! The entire Northern Army's Five Battalions will be under your management! As long as you lead the Northern Army's Five Battalions loyally and follow your sister, I guarantee that you will have a good life!
Dong Zhuo slammed the four appointments on the table, and the entire administrative agency of Luoyang once again unconditionally executed her orders. Within a few hours, the full authorization and appointment, including that of the lord of a state, were completed and announced to the world. Dong Zhuo couldn't close his mouth when seeing this, and he seemed to be floating when he walked.
This feeling is just as exciting as a worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan suddenly becoming the chairman of a company with a market value of one trillion yuan. Not only is he suddenly financially free and can buy whatever he wants and eat whatever he wants, he can even promote all the brothers who worked with him before to key senior positions in the company. This feeling is simply too good to be true!
Wait, now I can promote people to high positions. Is it okay to kill some of those who have offended me in the past to establish my authority?
Dong Zhuo tentatively stripped several people from Guandong who had looked down on him before and several people from Guanxi who had competed with him for power from him, and kicked them out of Luoyang. The whole process went incredibly smoothly. Those Guandong aristocratic families who had ridden on his neck and those Guanxi generals who had been in conflict with him before, all fell from the clouds to dust because of his words.
If they are the ones who have offended me before, why kick them out of Luoyang and put them in jail! I will put them all in jail!!!
Seeing those who had offended him living a life worse than death, the light in Dong Zhuo's eyes gradually dimmed, quickly losing the bright and enterprising spirit of the past. Instead, he became addicted to endless power and money.
Is this the supreme power above the entire Han Dynasty? Is this the pleasure of having the power to kill and give life at will? I have lived for forty or fifty years, and I have fought for the Han Empire on the frontier for thirty years! But it was not until today that I knew what real life was.
After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and came into contact with enormous power and wealth, he quickly became decadent and corrupt.
Dong Zhuo himself was like this, and the Guanxi Army under his command was no better. They were all dazzled by the glitz and glamour of Luoyang. My God, we have been fighting in the poor border for half our lives, and now we know that Luoyang, which we protect, is so prosperous. Is this the Luoyang that always makes excuses that there is no food and money in the rear and lets the brothers fight on the front line? The brothers are fighting on the front line, and you are eating well in the rear?
Are these the Guandong people who look down on us Liangzhou people? Eh? Look, aren't they trembling under our butcher's knife? Come, come, come, now we Liangzhou people have come from afar to you! You are performing that - yes, yes, that stinky Liangzhou people, come to Luoyang to beg for food, come and have fun for me.
Amid the huge social contradictions and discrimination in Kanto and Kansai, and in the face of the completely collapsed trust and conflicts between the border troops and the central government, a tragic war began.
From the moment Dong Zhuo came to power, the Guanxi people, who had been oppressed and discriminated against for hundreds of years, could no longer bear it and began to counterattack the Guandong people and plundered the entire Luoyang area! This is also an old tradition of the Guanxi Army. After taking over a city, they would plunder for three days. Why should Luoyang be an exception?
They did not dare to rob the families that had a large number of top Confucian scholars and top magicians; but the common people still had the courage to rob ordinary merchants in Luoyang.
In a short time, countless people in Luoyang lost their homes and all their properties were looted by the vicious Guanxi Army. These pretty and tender girls in Luoyang, compared with the heroic female soldiers on the border, became the objects of looting by the soldiers. Not to mention the girls from decent families, even the prostitutes in several brothels were directly turned into military prostitutes and were lined up to be played with by the Xiliang Army. For a time, the whole Luoyang was in chaos because of these Xiliang Army.
Faced with the atrocities of his soldiers, Dong Zhuo chose to do nothing and tacitly allowed them to rob for three days like they did in other cities. At most, he would just pretend to do so and openly reprimand and scold them in front of all the officials in Luoyang. Then, he would select gold, silver and treasures from the Luoyang treasury and secretly reward the soldiers he had just scolded.
As I said before, power is only responsible to the source of power. It is with these soldiers that I was able to defeat you Luoyang families. If I don't favor my soldiers, do I have to be loyal to the people of Luoyang? What a joke!
Chapter 213: The Corrosion of Power
Looking at the increasingly crazy Dong Zhuo, Guo Huai was stunned at this moment. He didn't know what had possessed her that such a drastic change had taken place in just one month.
Dong Zhuo was once a mature, beautiful, tall and sexy female general.
But now, her face, washed by wind, frost and blood, became pale and sinister, as if she had not seen the sun for a long time. Her eyes had lost their former luster and became turbid and dim, as if corroded by the darkness of power. The confidence, ambition and bloodthirstiness in her eyes all turned into an unfathomable gloom, which made people shudder.
Not only that, a month of overeating caused Dong Zhuo's body management to start to get out of control. After three years of hard fighting in Liang Province, she had lost a lot of weight compared to when she first met Liu Zhuang. It seemed that the war in Xiliang was very difficult.
But a month later, her tall and beautiful body, nourished by Luoyang's wealth and power, became extremely plump and beautiful. Although she was not fat, she was already round and smooth, with a pair of extremely exaggerated breasts on her chest, and the buttocks below her waist became fuller and more tender.
Not only that, Luoyang sewed a well-fitting official robe for the new Sikong, who was more than three meters tall, overnight. In order to highlight his identity as a Xiliang warrior, Dong Zhuo wore a mithril chain mail from the Qin Dynasty every time he went to court, and then wore a graceful and luxurious official uniform over the armor. When he walked, countless armor rings collided with each other, making a rustling sound.
But now, her former boldness and straightforwardness have gradually become sinister and cunning as she fights openly and secretly with the Luoyang family. If the previous Dong Zhuo was a ferocious tiger that would rush in front of people and fight them if they didn't obey.
Now, she is a group of bloodthirsty wolves hiding in the darkness, with hundreds of eyes, as eerie and terrifying as hundreds of scary ghost lights. The drastic change makes Guo Huai a little scared. She tries to persuade Dong Zhuo not to be so extreme, but Dong Zhuo thought she had done a good job at first and listened patiently, but later he just perfunctorily responded.
You are a twenty-year-old girl, and you want to teach me how to do things?
After helping Dong Zhuo stabilize the situation for a few days, Guo Huai did not stay in Luoyang anymore. Feeling that something bad would happen if he stayed any longer, he immediately returned to Hedong with the border troops that surrendered from Ding Yuan.
At this point, Liuzhuang's power once again increased.
The 2,500 guards in his hands, because they are professional soldiers, are now all ace imperial guards above level four.
The veterans of the White Horse Camp, as well as the camps invested and produced by the four aristocratic families of Yangqu, Zhaoyu, Zhongtiao, and Wangwu, and the five camps of Yanmen brought by Guo Huai, these ten camps are all elite camps of an average level 2 to 3.
It was established not long ago. Except for the White Horse Battalion, the nine battalions of soldiers usually farmed and could only train during the slack season. After several winters of training and battles against the Black Mountain Army, they all became qualified farmers and soldiers starting from level 1.
As for the orcs and Xianbei people, they are all half herdsmen and half soldiers, so their soldiers are mixed. They are used to taking out all the elite troops to form things like the Chanyu Guard or the Big Guy Guard, and use them as the spearhead to break the formation and attack.
When Guo Huai returned, this year's autumn harvest was over.
The sixth year of Zhongping was still a good harvest. Fifty thousand military households provided three million shi of grain and fodder, and 136,000 farmers paid a total of 14 million shi of grain and fodder, bringing the total grain and fodder income to 17 million shi. Taking into account the investment of the Hedong families, as well as the huge consumption of the evacuation of the population and the autumn counterattack, the current grain and fodder is a full 40 million shi.
Liu Zhuang looked with satisfaction at the increasingly terrifying military force under his command and the abundant food and fodder resources. He quickly distributed land to the five Yanmen battalions that surrendered to him. All the land was from newly reclaimed fields in Taiyuan. If there was really no land, he would first supplement the food supply and owe it to them. After we conquer new land, we will distribute it to you as soon as possible.
After receiving the titles of Bingzhou Mu and Hu Hou from Dong Zhuo, Liu Zhuang finally had the legal basis to rule the entire Bingzhou! Now, he not only had the military and financial power of Bingzhou, but also the power to appoint and dismiss personnel and the power of law. All the power of the entire Bingzhou Provincial Department belonged to him, and he had become the uncrowned king of Bingzhou!
Liu Zhuang immediately dismissed a number of county magistrates who were not very obedient to him on weekdays, and supported his confidants to fill these positions. He finally took absolute control of the affairs of each county. He used a large number of official positions that could be appointed and dismissed by the Bingzhou Mu as rewards, and distributed them one by one to the military households and soldiers under his command, and the aristocratic families. He then used higher official positions as rewards and used the method of promising promotions to stimulate their enthusiasm for fighting.
While Liu Zhuang was preparing for the final chaos, Dong Zhuo was on the verge of madness in Luoyang! She felt that killing a group of ministers who had offended her was not enough to establish her authority. With Yuan Wei's tacit approval, she directly deposed the emperor and deposed Liu Bian. Instead, she supported the eight-year-old Liu Xie to take the throne. She also jumped directly from Sikong, one of the three highest officials, to the prime minister who was above all other officials, shocking the court and the public.
So far, this year's reign title has changed from the sixth year of Zhongping to the first year of Yonghan. Then the next year was changed to the first year of Chuping, and the reign title was changed frequently.
A few days later, she even felt that the position of prime minister was not enough, so she was directly promoted to grand tutor, and ordered the emperor to reward her with super privileges such as not having to bow when entering the court, wearing a sword and shoes when entering the palace, and not having to name her when praising or bowing.
Deposing and enthroning emperors not only gave Dong Zhuo a huge deterrent, but also made her the target of public criticism throughout the world - she was from Xiliang, not orthodox by destiny, and not of royal blood, but she could become the Grand Tutor who controlled the world with the help of the army, so why couldn't I do the same? ? ?
After Dong Zhuo wantonly destroyed the game rules of the Han court for more than 200 years and turned Luoyang into a sea of fire, the Luoyang noble families also adapted to the new game rules set by Dong Zhuo and quickly iterated their family's playing style - OK, OK, according to what you said, Dong Zhuo, the one with the strongest soldiers and horses should be the Grand Master, right? Okay! My noble family will follow your rules and play this game with you!!!
At one time, countless noble families began to persuade Dong Zhuo that the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Guandong was in full swing and becoming more and more rampant. Many prefecture and county officials were either killed or abandoned their cities and fled. This was a great opportunity! Grand Master, you should appoint some officials from Luoyang to fill the vacancies in these places. First, you can suppress the Yellow Turbans, and second, you can show your kindness and power to show your attitude of cooperation with the noble families.
Dong Zhuo deeply agreed with this. After all, the way he won the trust of his generals and increased the loyalty of his soldiers was to give them money rewards and then grant them official titles and promises. After receiving his rewards, these people from Guanxi were very grateful and extremely loyal. So he used his old method to win over the aristocratic families. He thought about which aristocratic families treated him better on weekdays and appointed them first.
Finally, she appointed Shangshu Han Fu as governor of Jizhou, Shizhong Liu Dai as governor of Yanzhou, Chenliu Kong Ju as governor of Yuzhou, Dongping Zhang Miao as prefect of Chenliu, and Yingchuan Zhang Zi as prefect of Nanyang.
Even Yuan Shao, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, who dared to draw her sword and point it at him, shouting "My sword is not bad either", was not even considered by Dong Zhuo to have a falling out with her. The foundation of the Yuan family, which had three officials for four generations, was too terrifying, and he was nominally a disciple of Yuan Wei. Alas, after all, Benchu was young and immature. If he was not young and vigorous, could he still be called a child? I forgive you.
Dong Zhuo thought about it and appointed Yuan Shao, who had escaped, as the Governor of Bohai.
Yuan Shu, who also escaped, went to Nanyang and colluded with Sun Jian. He killed Zhang Zi, the former governor of Nanyang. Dong Zhuo endured it and gave the title of governor of Nanyang to Yuan Shu. He wanted to use this kind of reward to the aristocratic families to make them stand on his side.
However, she thought too much. The appearance of these noble families being close to her was all fake. When these noble families who pretended to be close to Dong Zhuo left Luoyang and took up the posts of prefects and governors in various places, one by one they began to use the unlimited power in their hands to frantically recruit soldiers and wait for an opportunity to counterattack Luoyang!
Okay, okay, Dong Zhuo, you ignore our palace conspiracy where the casualties are limited to Luoyang and the top leaders, and the damage will not be expanded, and you insist on choosing a strong man with strong troops who may destroy the entire empire as the Grand Tutor, right?
All right! I want to see whether your Guanxi soldiers are bloodthirsty and terrifying, or our Guandong people are brave and good at fighting!!!
Just like that, a few months after Dong Zhuo took control of the government, he was shocked to find that all the young men from noble families whom he had appointed and made wishes to had turned against him, and none of them was willing to follow him.
At this moment, the entire Guandong is gathering a huge Guandong coalition led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two young ladies from aristocratic families who are on the run, in an effort to learn from their experience and tactics, and to march to Luoyang for the second time! To seize the supreme power of the empire!

Volume 3: King of Guanzhong
Chapter 214: Guandong Alliance
Dong Zhuo was extremely furious when he saw that all the noble families he had granted fiefs had rebelled against him. He finally realized that even though he now had a strong army, was the Grand Tutor, held the emperor's power, and was at the pinnacle of power in the empire, the Guandong noble families still looked down on him!
The three words "Liangzhou people" turned out to be a stigma that could never be washed away since he was born. No matter whether he fought for his country or held power, the people of Guandong would never stand on his side just because he was born in Liangzhou.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo began to think more deeply that he was not the first person from Liangzhou to make a fortune.
Duan Xing, who was appointed Grand Marshal twice, has been trying to distance himself from his Liangzhou identity and status since he came to power. He even resorted to flattery and fawned on eunuchs. As a result, he was framed by all the Guandong families because of the death of the eunuchs he fawned on. This guy is the Liangzhou native whom we despise the most, and he is even from the eunuch faction. He is doomed to die.
So Duan Xing committed suicide by taking poison in prison.
Zhang Huan, who was promoted to the rank of General Du Liao, also wanted to clear himself of the stigma of being a Liangzhou native, so he chose to join a noble family and even wanted to change his registered residence from Liangzhou to Hongnong. For this, he was willing to abandon his military exploits in fighting his way out of a pile of dead bodies and was involved in the Party and Faction Persecution. When Emperor Ling of Han was hunting down and killing members of the noble families, he stood up and said that he was also a party member.
Emperor Ling of Han scoffed at this and said, "You are a Liangzhou native and a worthless member of the Guandong Party." He ignored it completely. The Guandong aristocratic families also looked upon him as a clown. Eventually, they became disheartened and resigned from their posts to go home. He died of depression about seven years ago.
Facts have proven that no matter whether you join the eunuch emperor or the Guandong family, you can't erase the stigma of being a Liangzhou person, so I won't take it off! I am a Liangzhou person! I am proud of my Liangzhou person identity!!!
Dong Zhuo decided to do the opposite of his predecessors from Liang Province. He greatly promoted the status of frontier warriors from Liang Province, Bing Province, and You Province, and tried his best to suppress the Guandong nobles. He even directly killed a group of Luoyang nobles and plundered all of their wealth for military supplies. The people in Luoyang were beheaded and blood flowed like a river!
Fuck you! You Kanto people look down on me and don’t want to cooperate with me, so I won’t play with you anymore!!!
At this point, the entire empire had in fact split into the Guanxi border army led by Dong Zhuo, and the Guandong alliance led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Wei, who was caught in the middle, was stunned. He found that after all his calculations, he not only missed Dong Zhuo, but also Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's two nieces.
The next generation successor of the Yuan family is most likely Yuan Ji, the eldest son of his brother Yuan Feng; Yuan Shao was adopted by a branch family, and Yuan Shu was the second daughter and could not inherit the Yuan family business. They should all assist their brothers as sisters, take charge of the Yuan family, and become the next Huo Guang.
However, after Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, these two little girls ran away quickly and slipped away directly from Luoyang. One is in Nanyang County in the south, and the other is in Bohai County in the north. Using the influence of Yuan family's students and former officials all over the world, they are organizing an anti-Dong alliance and preparing to counterattack Luoyang!
No? Hundreds of people in our Yuan family, including me and Yuan Ji, are all in Luoyang and can't escape, right? Are you playing a trick? As long as Dong Zhuo massacres the Yuan family in a rage, you two little girls will become the heirs of all the political power of the Yuan family? ? ?
December 189, the first year of the Yonghan period ( AD)
The entire empire welcomed the New Year's Eve under the shadow of civil war, but there was no happiness or joy on everyone's face. There was only endless fear and panic. At this moment, there was no need for the predictions of Confucian scholars. Anyone could see that a huge civil war sweeping the empire had begun.
January 190, the first month of the first year of Chuping ( AD)
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu issued a manifesto to fight against the rebels on New Year's Day, and together with 17 princes, openly declared Dong Zhuo a traitor to the Han Dynasty. He sought power and usurped the throne, deposed Emperor Ling's eldest son, the orthodox Han Emperor Liu Bian, as King of Hongnong, and actually made his second son Liu Xie, who had no mandate of heaven, the emperor!
Yuan Shao announced without blushing or beating his heart, "Deposing the eldest and enthroning the youngest has always been a way to bring disaster. We must restore order, reinstate Liu Bian, support the Han Dynasty, and kill the Han traitors!!!"
Dong Zhuo glanced at the list. The seventeen princes were Yuan Shao, Marquis of Qixiang and prefect of Bohai; Yuan Shu, general and prefect of Nanyang; Han Fu, governor of Jizhou; Kong Rong, governor of Yuzhou; Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou; Wang Kuang, prefect of Henei County; Zhang Miao, prefect of Chenliu; Qiao Mao, prefect of Dongjun; Yuan Yi, prefect of Shanyang County; Bao Xin, prime minister of Jibei; Kong Rong, prefect of Beihai; Zhang Chao, prefect of Guangling; Gongsun Zan, prefect of Beiping; Zhang Yang, prefect of Shangdang; Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng and prefect of Changsha; Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou; and Ma Teng, prefect of Longxi County.
Well, most of them were given official positions by themselves in order to please the aristocratic families. As soon as they left, they recruited soldiers in their own territory to fight against their benefactors.
Wait, Longxi Governor Ma Teng? Isn't he a rebel from Xiliang? When did she become the Governor of Longxi???
Dong Zhuo was extremely angry. After a thorough investigation, he found out that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had sent a secret letter to Liang Province through their connections in Luoyang. The letter stated that as long as Ma Teng was willing to stab Dong Zhuo in the west while the princes from Guandong were fighting Dong in the east, he would be appointed as the governor of Liang Province and the prefect of Longxi as a deposit to appease these bandits.
Okay, now that you've already broken off relations, I won't pretend anymore.
Dong Zhuo looked at the list of the Guandong alliance that was going to attack him, and began to kill people in Luoyang in order. The Yuan family of Runan, all killed! Han Fu's family, exterminated! Kong Zhuo's entire family, beheaded! Liu Dai... Oh, this person is a royal relative, so only his closest relatives will be killed! Wang Kuang's entire family ran away? No problem, his mansion in Luoyang will be nationalized, and all the maids and servants will be killed, kill, kill, kill.
For a time, the whole Luoyang fell into great panic. The Guandong families who remained in Luoyang suffered an unprecedented purge. The massacre lasted for twelve days, and the streets of Luoyang were covered with blood and turned into a horrible dark red. The money of these families was all used by Dong Zhuo as military expenses and rewarded to the soldiers to encourage their courage and will to fight against the Guandong families.
At this moment, the Guanxi frontier army led by Dong Zhuo and the Guandong aristocratic families have completely torn their faces apart. You are against me, right? Fine, I will kill your entire family first, and then I will kill you all! I want to let the world know that whoever dares to go against me, Dong Zhuo, will only end up with the extermination of the entire clan!!!
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Dong Zhuo thought for a while and poisoned the young emperor Liu Bian, whom he had deposed, thus cutting off the legitimacy of the Guandong Alliance.
Didn't you say you wanted to re-establish Liu Bian as emperor? I killed him, and now Liu Xie is the only child of the previous emperor. I want to see how much of your destiny and legitimacy you still have? ? ?
Yuan Shao was extremely troubled by Dong Zhuo's move. How could this Liangzhou woman be so fierce? Did she really dare to kill the deposed emperor? ? ? He had already declared that Liu Xie was not the legitimate emperor. It was really annoying that she played this way.
At this moment, after the failure of assassinating Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao fled Luoyang and returned to his hometown to recruit volunteers. Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other powerful generals of Cao and Xiahou gathered around her, turning the allied forces at Guandong into eighteen routes.
And now, for the eighteen princes, there is still a problem waiting to be solved.
We have already won over many allies. Super heroes like Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan, who fought against all odds in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, have also chosen to join us. Most of Hebei and Henan are in the hands of the allies.
At present, the army is divided into four groups, with Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, and Wang Kuang, the governor of Henei, harassing the north of Luoyang.
Yuan Shu and Sun Jian made a feint attack south of Luoyang.
Ma Teng stabbed Dong Zhuo in the ass in the west of Liang Province.
