Chapter 978: The True Devil King Comes to the World

Cai Yong stayed in Pingzhou for three months, not only because of work needs, but also to avoid disaster!

The wheel of history rolled forward, and Dong Zhuo, who had dominated Luoyang for several years, finally showed his brutal fangs. According to the report sent by Qian Huan during this period, Dong Zhuo's temperament has changed drastically in the past year, completely abandoning the original virtuous personality, and his words and deeds are getting closer to the historical Dong Zhuo.

Not long after Cai Yong left Beijing, Dong Zhuo killed him on the spot on the grounds that the censor, Chaolong Zong, had not lifted his sword when he visited him. , the situation above the ruling and opposition parties is jittery.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish Liu Bian and establish Liu Xie as emperor. The chief minister Zhou Zhong (historically Lu Zhi) expressed his opposition on the spot, and refuted Dong Zhuo speechlessly in the court.

However, Dong Zhuo, who became angry from embarrassment, directly showed his anger at the court meeting, killed the chief minister Zhou Zhong with his own hands, and ordered the extermination of Zhou Zhong's three clans!

Immediately afterwards Dong Zhuo's direct line Xiliang army entered the city in large numbers, and all the powerful courtiers were guarded by the elite flying bear army, which was called protection. Many courtiers were dissatisfied with this captivity and their families were killed.

Under Dong Zhuo's arrogance, important royalist officials such as Huangfusong and Yuan Kai died silently to protect themselves.

Two months ago, just one month after Cai Yong arrived in Pingzhou, Grand Tutor Yuan Kai stopped his silence and turned to Dong Zhuo's camp, agreeing with Dong Zhuo's move to abolish the establishment.

The change of Yuan Kui's position made the already fragile balance completely invalid. Huangfusong wrote a letter to Lu Zhi who was far away in Bingzhou overnight, and the next day, under the pressure of swordsmen, he seconded the move of abolishing the establishment.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bian, who had been emperor for more than three years, resigned sadly, and Liu Xie made his debut!

Dong Zhuo got his wish and established a new king, but this does not mean that Luoyang's side has calmed down. Dong Zhuo boasted that he had established himself as a king, and he became more and more arrogant. The reason was bestowed with death, and it was rumored that Dong Zhuo also had the act of seizing the harem and staying overnight on the dragon bed.

Corresponding to Dong Zhuo's growing madness, a large number of Xiliang army generals began to indulge, robbing women from good families and looting their property is already light, and some people even openly killed good men in Luoyang City.

The military discipline of the Xiliang Army can be said to have collapsed, from senior generals to ordinary soldiers, all became bloodthirsty and crazy, and everyone in Luoyang and even the entire Sansuke region was in danger.

This weird situation frightened Cai Yong directly. It is true that he was valued by Dong Zhuo, and he once regarded Dong Zhuo as Bole. The senior officials in the court changed almost every day, and the courtiers had to write a suicide note and bid farewell to their families before going to court. Under such circumstances, why did Cai Yong run back so recklessly? Simply take advantage of the opportunity to announce the decree and stay in Pingzhou for a longer period of time to observe the development of the situation.

Dong Zhuo's dramatic changes also brought a sense of urgency to Shang Ji, no matter what the reason for the change, but Dong Zhuo's behavior is getting closer to history, Shang Ji doubts that under the correction of the power of the system, it may happen in the near future. In the future, the epic plot of the Eighteenth Road to challenge Dong will break out.

Shang Ji has 14 million troops in name, but not many are actually available. In Chenzhou Xinding, the more than 7 million troops there can only be increased but cannot be reduced, while there are still 7 million troops in Pingzhou, but it needs to maintain such a large territory, and there are not many troops that can really move flexibly.

Now under the name of Shang Ji, there are only more than three million troops that can be dispatched at any time for expedition. Compared with the hundreds of millions of troops under Dong Zhuo's name, it is really too small. It's useless in front of the advantage!

Another point is that Shangji has just finished a war of destroying the country. Although the casualties of the Shangji army during the war were not large, the consumption of various materials is an astronomical figure. The warehouses in Pingzhou are now empty. It took a year and a half to recover and report back.

In this situation, it is difficult to support Shang Ji to send troops on a large scale. In other words, it is difficult to take advantage of this kind of war between the princes.

It is precisely because of this that Shang Ji prepared his army and stepped up preparations for the production of various materials. On the other hand, he contacted Lu Zhi, who was full of grief and indignation, and advised him to endure it for the time being, and wait for the right time not to raise the banner of begging Dong.

It is a pity that as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi certainly would not listen to Shang Ji's advice. Instead, he wrote a letter to Shang Ji, persuading Shang Ji to prepare his army and make preparations for sending troops to fight against the Dong bandits.

According to Qian Huan's report, while Lu Zhi was actively preparing for the war, he also contacted the princes from all over the world, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Dai, Tao Qian, Liu Yu, Ma Teng even contacted Yanhuang Sharpen, seeking to form an anti-Dong coalition army.

The princes from all over the country reacted differently. Some responded positively, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, etc.;

Although the princes in various places reacted differently, no matter whether they supported the alliance, supported Dong Zhuoyi or stayed out of the matter, they all accelerated the pace of military expansion and preparations for war. Everyone could see that as Dong Zhuo went crazy, the situation was bound to get out of hand. It will become the most important basis for speaking in the next period of time.

Facing the turbulent situation outside the pass, Luoyang's Dong Zhuo seemed to have never heard of it. On the contrary, the massacre of ministers and royal families became more and more rampant, and he felt a sense of madness before his demise.

As the coalition forces from outside the customs became more and more frequent, Dong Zhuo became more and more brutal.

Dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's brutal behavior, Huang Fusong, the chariot general, tried to escape from Luoyang at night, and joined forces with Lu Zhi of Bingzhou to rebel against Dong. Huangfu Jianshou, the son of Huangfusong, had always been friendly with Dong Zhuo. Hearing the news, he hurriedly went to see Dong Zhuo and asked to spare Huangfusong's life.

Dong Zhuo woke up like a dream after seeing Huangfu Jianshou, wept bitterly, saying that it was Zhuo's fault that many virtuous officials were troubled. The tears were flowing, and he was about to draw his knife and kill himself on the spot. It was still the personal attendants who tried their best to stop him, so there was no scene of Dong Zhuo's dead body in the mansion.

All the people present were secretly amazed, thinking that Dong Zhuo had the intention of repenting, they were overjoyed, and one after another stepped forward to speak and congratulate him.

However, the next scene frightened everyone present to collapse. Dong Zhuo turned around and sliced ​​open Huangfu Jianshou's chest, grabbed his beating heart, and ate it with a grinning grin!

The people present were so frightened that there were countless people who shit and peed!

Immediately afterwards, all the officials who offered congratulations were killed, and the Yi tribe. At the same time, the Huangfu family was uprooted. Thousands of members of the family, including servants and maids, were all killed. The main members of the Huangfu family were hung in front of the palace gate for public display.

Luoyang's blood flowed overnight, and the number of dead was tens of thousands!

The whole country was shocked by the news, and Lu Zhi immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma after hearing the news.
