Chapter 979
"This Dong Zhuo is really crazy!"
Looking at the latest news from Qian Huan who was lurking in Luoyang, Shang Ji couldn't help but said to the people beside him with emotion.
"My lord, what happened again?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard the words. They were holding a meeting just now, but there was an urgent news, which directly interrupted the meeting process and passed the news to Shang Ji.
Shang Ji shook his head while explaining: "The latest news, at midnight last night, the Changle Palace unfortunately flooded, Zhu Rong came to the world, and the Changle Palace was destroyed once!"
"what?"
Xun Yu couldn't help exclaiming when he heard the words, looked at Shang Ji in horror, and said, "Chang... How could Changle Palace be flooded? What about the Empress Dowager? How is the Empress Dowager?" "
"Empress Dowager Dong died unfortunately, and King Chen Liu, who was temporarily living in Changle Palace, was also not spared. Dong Zhuo killed all the thousands of ladies in Changle Palace in the name of ineffective guards."
"Dong Thief! I, Xun Yu, have nothing to do with you!!!"
When Xun Yu heard tears welling up in his eyes, he hissed angrily.
Although the other people's reactions were not as intense as Xun Yu's, they still couldn't help but feel grief and indignation.
Although it is said that the death of Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Bian was caused by water leakage, but as long as the IQ is online, you can understand what is going on. It is nothing more than Dong Zhuo's madness, and his claws have finally extended to the last heavyweight in the royal family!
Empress Dowager Dong is the Holy Mother of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong, the grandmother of Liu Bian and Liu Xie. In the case of Empress Dowager He's death, Empress Dowager Dong is the undisputed leader of the harem. According to the consistent tradition of the Han Dynasty, when the emperor was young and unable to govern, it was usually the queen mother or empress dowager who came to the court to assist the young emperor in controlling the government.
The unexpected rise of Dong Zhuo broke this unspoken rule, and the incompetent Empress Dowager Dong could only spend her days in the harem. Even so, countless courtiers who are still loyal to the Han Dynasty regard the Empress Dowager Dong as their backbone, hoping that one day they will kill the powerful minister Dong Zhuo and restore the world to a bright future. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager Dong has no fighting spirit and never dared to compete with Dong Zhuo. However, just like that, an old woman was set on fire by Dong Zhuo abruptly and burned to death, causing countless people to feel grief and indignation.
Seeing Xun Yu wailing in pain, and everyone having nothing to say to comfort him, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became a little weird.
However, this awkward atmosphere didn't last long, and another guard came to deliver an urgent message.
"My lord, Lord Mu Lu of Bingzhou has blatantly raised the banner of rebellion, and issued a call for Dong Dong, calling on the princes of the world to rise up and punish him, and eliminate traitors and thieves for the Han Dynasty!"
While speaking, he also presented a call to arms, the content of which was exactly the "Appeal to the Thieves of Dong" written by Lu Zhi.
Shang Ji glanced at it hastily, and didn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing. What he really thought about was the series of influences brought about by this article against Dong thief.
Undoubtedly, Lu Zhi was really in a hurry, and without any discussion, he openly raised the banner of rebellion, which caught Shang Ji off guard.
But the biggest question now is how much shock Lu Zhi's proclamation will have on the world, and how many princes will raise troops to respond! Qiankun Listening Book Network
Now it has been seriously out of touch with history. Ma Teng and Zhang Yang, the two original vassals of the 18th Route, have already decided to go to Dong Zhuo's camp. It is good that they can remain neutral as in history, and they dare not expect too much.
So far, the anti-Dong side can really confirm only one person, Lu Bu and Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Er Yuan, Sun Jian, Han Fu, etc., who say it well, but the actual situation is still uncertain. Woolen cloth!
As the separatism of the princes in various places became more and more obvious, the cohesion of the allied forces against Dong Zhuo became lower and lower. Before the fundamental interests of the princes were not actually threatened, it was difficult to guarantee that the gang of conspiracy princes would unite to fight against Dong Zhuo.
In fact, Shang Ji himself is also a member of the princes who are intriguing. If he can ensure that the benefits of joining Dong Zhuo's camp are higher than joining the Dong Zhuo camp, then he will join Dong Zhuo's camp without hesitation.
To put it bluntly, he has no feelings for the Han Dynasty!
The entire upper echelon of the merchant army,
Xun Yu is the only one who has a relatively high degree of loyalty to the Han Dynasty!
After such an incident, the meeting would naturally not go on. Everyone took positions one after another, while Shang Ji discussed with Deng Yan, Liu Yi and other core high-level executives on the next step. Unfortunately, after discussing for a long time, they did not come up with an effective one. As for the plan, the current situation is still unclear, so I dare not express my position lightly.
In fact, Shang Ji himself is not very interested in seeking Dong Zhuo. Shang Ji's foundation is in the northeast. Even if he defeats Dong Zhuo, he will at most seize some floating wealth and precious items. Don't even think about the territory in Guanzhong. In this way, Shang Ji naturally didn't have much enthusiasm for seeking Dong.
Of course, if Dong Zhuo is in a doomed situation in the historical situation of attacking in groups, he doesn't mind sending troops to join forces and show his reputation in front of the world.
It is better to wait and see for now.
It's a pity, Dong Zhuo seemed to feel that killing the Queen Mother Dong and King Chen Liu was not enough, so he made another big news that afternoon!
Dong Zhuo sent troops to surround the Yuan Mansion in the name of Taifu Yuan Kui deliberately setting fire to kill the Empress Dowager and King Chenliu. Yuan Kai went out in a hurry, wanting to intercede with Dong Zhuo, but the Xiliang army didn't appreciate it, and Yuan's mansion was completely wiped out that evening.
The four generations and three fathers of the Yuan family have a long inheritance that is far beyond what Huangfusong can compare. Counting the guards and servants, there are tens of thousands of people in the entire mansion, among them there are many powerful domestic slaves and private troops. The process of the Xiliang army slaughtering the Yuan Mansion was no different from a war. According to the information from Qian Huan, Dong Zhuo's army dispatched a large number of siege equipment and lost a full 100,000 Xiliang troops before completely destroying the Yuan Mansion.
From the top to bottom of Yuan's mansion, from the top to the Tai Fu Yuan Kui, to the bottom to the infant baby, not a single one was left behind!
When the news reached Bohai, Yuan Shao cried three times and passed out. It is reported that Yuan Shao's first words after waking up were: "Dong Thief, I, Yuan Shao, will never live with you in this life!!"
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao announced in public that in response to Lu Zhi's call, Bohai County entered an emergency mobilization, and would do everything in its power to fight Dong Zhuo!
At the same time, Yuan Shao directly gave the order to Jizhou Mu Han Fu. Note that it was an order, and the governor of Bohai gave the order to Jizhou Mu! Order Han Fu to immediately provide soldiers, horses, food and grass to conquer the rebellious Dong Zhuo.
Facing the red-eyed Yuan Shao, Han Fu resolutely gave up. Regardless of the persuasion of Geng Wu, Ju Shou and others, he sent a large amount of money and materials for Yuan Shao to prepare his army.
A little later, Yuan Shu from Runan also announced that he would swear against rebellion, vowing to wipe out Dong Zhuo's entire family!
The turbulent situation made the princes dizzy. Cao Cao, who was far away in Chenliu, was still considering whether to raise troops immediately after receiving the blood letter from his friend Yuan Shao. Then bad luck came to him--Cao Cao's father, Da Honglu Cao Song was killed Dong Zhuo was executed for the crime of rebellion. At the same time, Cao Bin, Cao Yu, Cao De and other Cao Cao's brothers were all killed, and no member of the Cao family in Beijing was spared!
Nothing to say, Cao Cao's entire army disappeared the next day, vowing to send troops!
