Chapter 2765 The Pillar of the Nation, The Blood-Red Capital
Luoyang, the capital of China, at Dong Zhuo's residence.
Li Jue, Duan Wei, and more than ten others reported the situation to Dong Zhuo.
"Not a single one has succeeded, haha... Are these warlords from Guandong really that high and mighty?" Dong Zhuo said angrily after hearing the report.
"My lord, if this plan fails, the Guandong Coalition will not be able to be dismantled, and the crisis at Hulao Pass will be difficult to resolve," said strategist Li Ru calmly.
"It's alright. Just follow your plan and spread the word that five warlords have abandoned their allegiance to the light and have secretly contacted us," Dong Zhuo said, waving his hand.
"Okay." Li Ru nodded.
"My lord, this plan can only buy time; it cannot stop the Kwantung Coalition," Li Ru added.
"How is that matter progressing?" Dong Zhuo asked in a low voice, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"We await only your command, my lord!" Li Ru said firmly.
"All generals, listen to my command!" Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up and shouted with a murderous look on his face.
"Guo Si and Li Jue, you two will lead 400,000 elite Xiliang troops to surround the Yuan family mansion. I will personally lead the Flying Bear Divine Army to attack the Yuan family mansion head-on."
"Remember, spare not a single member of the Yuan family, exterminate their entire clan!!!" Dong Zhuo declared resolutely.
"Yes, sir!" Guo Si and Li Jue stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and responded.
"Duan Wei, Dong Min, Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, listen to my command!"
"After the Yuan family is exterminated, each of you will lead an army of 400,000 men and disperse to different regions. Once the news spreads, you will immediately take action!"
"Yes, sir!" The four of them stepped forward and knelt down in response.
"Wenyou, you will oversee the Yuan family's fate crisis," Dong Zhuo instructed solemnly.
The others led large numbers of soldiers, while Li Ru was alone, but Li Ru's move was the most crucial.
"Rest assured, my lord, although the Yuan family has countless disciples, the karmic consequences they have accumulating are deeply rooted and extremely heavy. This operation will surely succeed!" Li Ru said solemnly.
"Everyone else, according to the plan, begin driving away the people from the outskirts and relocating the capital... to Chang'an!!!" Dong Zhuo shouted.
"Yes, sir!!!" Everyone shouted with gleaming eyes, their morale soaring.
The group accepted the order and quickly departed to carry it out. In a corner, Jia Xu sighed softly and followed the others. Compared to the perilous Hulao Pass, bearing some karmic burdens here was still acceptable…
Thus, the real relocation of the capital officially began!
And the one who performed the flag-raising ceremony was none other than the Yuan family, whose lineage spanned four generations of high-ranking officials!
……
At this moment, a banquet was being held in the Yuan residence.
"Gentlemen, Dong Zhuo has been intimidated by the Guandong Coalition. He has begun to act desperately. He even wants to make marriage alliances with the children of the warlords, intending to use his daughters as bargaining chips to dismantle the coalition."
“Naive, naive! Ha ha ha!!~~~” Grand Tutor Yuan Wei stood in front of the main table and laughed loudly.
At this moment, his face was full of mockery towards Dong Zhuo, completely unaware that the person he was mocking would bring them utter destruction!
Upon hearing this, the other guests also burst into laughter, as if Dong Zhuo had already been defeated and killed.
"Gentlemen, we only need to give it one more push, and Dong Zhuo will be a thing of the past!" Yuan Wei said excitedly.
“Grand Tutor Yuan, just as you said, Dong Zhuo has been pushed to the brink. He has already begun to move the palace and allowed the Xiliang army to burn, kill, and plunder everywhere, committing all sorts of atrocities. Let’s not push him any further,” Wang Yun said meaningfully from his seat among the guests.
"Dong Zhuo is a treacherous and cunning old villain. If we cannot force him into a dead end, what difference is there between us and defeat!"
"We've failed in so many assassination attempts. Should we change our approach and devise a different strategy?" Wang Yun suggested, his brow furrowed.
"Zishi, you're always so timid and hesitant. You went through so many detours to get here to this banquet. You're getting old, all your ambitions are gone!" Yuan Wei teased Wang Yun with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun sighed softly and said nothing more.
At this point, Yuan Wei had become arrogant and complacent.
His nephews Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu controlled the Guandong Coalition and wielded immense power. After Dong Zhuo's defeat and death, it was the Yuan family who replaced him!
Just then, a strange fluctuation rippled outwards.
The people drinking and making merry sensed it, but none of them took it seriously.
A moment later, a servant came in and reported, "Master, the sky outside has turned purple, a sign of good fortune."
However, the expressions of the crowd changed slightly upon hearing this.
Generally speaking, a sky filled with purple clouds is an auspicious sign, but such a scene during this turbulent time is not good news!
Wang Yun was the first to stand up, leave his seat, and go to the door to check. Sure enough, the night sky was filled with a purple aura.
For some unknown reason, Wang Yun hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said to Yuan Wei, who had just come out, "Ciyang, there is an unusual phenomenon in the sky. I need to return home to investigate. I will take my leave now."
"Okay." Yuan Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and nodded in response.
"Grand Tutor, I also have matters to attend to, so I'll be heading back now." After that, the other guests also hurriedly left their seats.
Everyone had a premonition that something bad would happen tonight.
After the guests had all left, Yuan Wei composed himself, his face flushed with wine, and solemnly instructed his retainers: "Steward, something big is about to happen tonight. Order all the soldiers to be on high alert, and distribute all the medicines and talismans as precautions."
"The guards on the city walls are also equipped with three times the usual defensive supplies." "Yes, sir!"
However, just after Yuan Wei finished giving his instructions, a series of deafening booms echoed over the mansion.
As the sound reverberated, tremors emanated from the ground.
Sensing the commotion, Yuan Wei, who had maintained a calm and composed demeanor, suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed incredulously, "Dong Zhuo dares to do that!!!"
Yuan Wei had already discerned something amiss from the strange phenomenon of purple aura filling the sky, but he never expected that the real culprit would be none other than his own Yuan clan!
You must understand, the Yuan family played a significant role in Dong Zhuo's rise to power; they were his benefactors. And now, Dong Zhuo is repaying kindness with enmity!
"Quickly, try using the teleportation talisman!!" Yuan Wei shouted at the children sitting in the hall.
The children trembled at the shout, but as members of a large family, they quickly regained their composure, took out teleportation talismans, and began to use them.
However, everyone failed!
Dong Zhuo has sealed off the surrounding spatial teleportation!
"Where's the teleportation array?! Try it now!" Yuan Wei roared.
From the side hall came a reply that filled him with despair: "The teleportation array is also unusable!!"
"Now, I only hope that Dong Zhuo will remember our past friendship and consider the Guandong Coalition, and won't go too far!" Yuan Wei slumped into his seat, looking lost and dejected, and murmured.
At this point, the initiative was no longer in the hands of the Yuan family!
Soon, the sounds of battle began to rise, and a splash of blood ignited the sky.
"Hide all the children in the secret room!"
"Everyone, take up your weapons!"
After calming his mind, Yuan Wei began to make arrangements.
The guards sprang into action, leading the children toward the secret chamber, while the rest grabbed their weapons and stood ready in various parts of the mansion.
However, Dong Zhuo's attack was overwhelming. Guo Si and Li Jue led 400,000 elite Xiliang troops, completely surrounding the Yuan residence. The Flying Bear Divine Army fought fearlessly, launching a frontal assault. Although the Yuan residence's guards resisted valiantly, they were simply no match for the overwhelming numerical superiority. The gates of the residence were quickly captured.
Afterwards, countless Xiliang soldiers poured into the mansion and began the massacre.
Yuan Wei stood on a high point in his mansion, looking at the enemy army surging in like a tide, his heart filled with regret and resentment.
He regretted his arrogance and complacency, and his underestimation of Dong Zhuo's ruthlessness. But it was too late for regrets; he could only fight to the death.
"Master, the enemy has broken through the first line of defense!" A family retainer ran in anxiously to report.
The first line of defense was the mansion's city walls.
Unexpectedly, the city walls, which had been doubled in investment, were taken down so easily.
"Make them retreat to the second line of defense and continue to hold their ground!" Yuan Wei said through gritted teeth.
The mansion was now in complete chaos, filled with shouts of battle and screams of agony. Blood stained the ground, and corpses lay strewn about. Yuan's retainers and servants brandished their weapons, fighting a desperate battle against the enemy, but their numbers were dwindling.
The Yuan family mansion was very large, housing nearly 500,000 soldiers, yet it still could not withstand Dong Zhuo's army.
Li Jue sneered on the front lines, looking at the carnage inside the Yuan residence, and shouted loudly: "The Yuan family colluded with the Guandong Allied Army, intending to rebel. The Emperor has judged the Yuan family to be traitors. Now, acting on the Emperor's decree, we will annihilate the traitorous Yuan family!"
"Anyone inside the Yuan family mansion who lays down their weapons and surrenders will be treated leniently!"
First use force, then try to sow discord among their minds!
Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Divine Army was unstoppable, and wherever they went, the guards of Yuan Kui's residence fell one after another. Soon, they reached the foot of the pavilion where Yuan Kui was located.
"Yuan Kui, where do you think you can escape to today?" Dong Zhuo rode on his tall horse, looking at Yuan Kui with a smug expression.
Yuan Wei glared angrily and shouted, "Dong Zhuo, you old traitor, you repay kindness with enmity, you will surely be punished by Heaven!"
"Divine retribution? Hahahaha..." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, "Now I rule the world! Today I will wipe out your entire Yuan family!"
With that, Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and the Flying Bear Divine Army began its attack on the pavilion. Yuan Wei's retainers fought desperately, but they were no match for the enemy's offensive.
However, the situation became increasingly critical, and the guards of the Yuan residence suffered heavy casualties, with the defense line gradually collapsing.
Yuan Wei looked at everything before him, his heart filled with despair. But he still did not give up, using the power of his reading to join the battle.
Just then, a ripple came from a building deep within the mansion.
Yuan Wei sensed this fluctuation and his expression changed drastically.
Previously, he had never believed that Dong Zhuo would dare to commit such an act of extermination. After all, the Yuan family was a leading family in literature and scholarship, and their fortunes were incredibly prosperous. Even the late Emperor Liu Hong dared not act rashly, because the karmic consequences involved were far too great.
Dong Zhuo alone is simply not enough to withstand!
If Dong Zhuo truly defies the will of Heaven, then his demise is not far off!
Would Dong Zhuo really commit suicide to take everyone down with him?
Dong Zhuo's answer was: Yes!
At that very moment, strange fluctuations began to ripple out once more.
If Huang Zhong and the others were here, they would find that this fluctuation is exactly the same as what they sensed on the walls of Hulao Pass!
"Roar!~~~~" A series of dragon roars suddenly rang out.
The roar of the dragon intensified the despair on Yuan Wei's face.
However, that's not all. At that moment, strange yellow lights burst forth, quickly forming a yellow cloud.
Strange, wailing figures appeared and disappeared amidst the yellow clouds...
At the edge of the yellow clouds, streaks of blood red spread out.
As time passed, the yellow clouds began to change color, gradually turning blood red. (End of Chapter)
