Chapter 619
Guanzhong!

Zuo Fengling's battle was also compressed near Liyi City as Dong Zhuo's troops were continuously dispatched.

The Southern Huns and Dong Zhuo's army fought a few more times one after another, and both sides suffered losses from each other.

Luan Tiqiang felt the strength of the Xiliang army in Yijing, and it was impossible to defeat the Xiliang army and go to other places to continue plundering Yijing.

As he was considering his next move, he soon received news from the north.

"Chanyu's major event is not good, the north...we were attacked by Han cavalry, King Youguli died in battle, Jinlu Fortress fell, Jiuyuan City fell, Meiji fell..."

The person who reported the letter cried with tears, and his face was full of misery.

"What... what's going on?" Luan Tiqiang stood up abruptly, pointing at the messenger with a trembling right hand, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

The messenger wiped away his tears and replied: "Return to Shanyu, after you went south, some Han cavalry set out from the north of Liangzhou, first attacked Youguli King's tribe, captured Jinlu Fortress, and then went all the way east. They plundered, burned and killed, and finally hit Meiji, killing all our cattle, sheep and clansmen, and please return Shan Yu immediately to help, otherwise we, the great Huns, will all be wiped out."

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn Han people, ah..." Luan Tiqiang felt the blood rushing from his chest to his forehead, and he fell backwards.

After hearing the news, Luan Tibao, Luan Tihuchuquan, Zuoguli King Hada and others rushed over one after another, and after a while they all let out distressed whistling sounds.

Some people even wanted to leave the city to fight the Xiliang army.

But it was stopped by Luan Tiqiang who woke up.

"Shanyu, let's just forget about it, we want revenge, we want to kill all the Han people in Guanzhong..."

A Xiongnu general said with red eyes unwillingly.

Luanti Qiangqu closed his eyes, with a miserable expression on his face, and said: "Of course we can't forget this. We will remember this account. From then on, we, the Huns, and the Han will be at odds, but what we have to do now is to go north immediately." Otherwise, we will really have no clansman, no place to rest."

Luan Tiqiangqu didn't want to have a decisive battle with the Xiliang army, but Dong Zhuo's army was too much, and they were constantly mobilizing, and there were a lot of strong generals. They were the Huns who suffered a decisive battle with the Xiliang army here.

After Luan Tiqiangqu finished speaking, there was a lot of lamentation below, and they were not reconciled.

This time, he didn't get much stuff in the customs, and lost a lot of people. The old nest was stabbed by the Xiliang army, so he left in a desperate manner.

Any Huns would not be reconciled to it.

But what if you are not reconciled.

The Huns abandoned the city overnight and retreated northward.

Dong Zhuo, who was in Chang'an, also received the news one step earlier than Luan Ti Qiang Qu.

But the difference is that the results of the battle reports he received were not as great as those received by Luanti Qiangqu.

Because at that time Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan just attacked Youguli King's tribe and took down the chicken and deer plug.

But even so, Dong Zhuo laughed unscrupulously and heartily.

"Hahahaha, good! Good fight, good kill!" Dong Zhuo picked up the battle report he put down and read it again, slapped the table with his palm and laughed loudly:
"I knew Wenhe would surprise us, and it really did. I didn't expect him to be so predictable. He guessed that the Xiongnu would go south, so he sent Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan to Bingzhou.

Southern Xiongnu's gang of bastards, it's good to die, but it's better to die all of them. "

Li Ru also rushed over after receiving the news, and congratulated: "Congratulations, prime minister, the southern Xiongnu should retreat and return to the north, and Guanzhong will be settled."

Dong Zhuo entered the letter, asked Li Rudao with a smile on his face, "Wenyou, do you think we need to pursue it? Should we take advantage of the opportunity to cut off the Southern Huns, and take advantage of the situation to take Shangjun, Xihe, Wuyuan and Shuofang?"

Even if Dong Zhuo was a bastard, he knew that these places were the homeland of the Han people, and completely wiped out the Southern Huns, which not only removed a threat, but also greatly increased their prestige.

With this great achievement, he can take the opportunity to force the little emperor of the Liu family to step down and ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme himself.

That's why Dong Zhuo asked this question.

Li Ru shook his head and said: "The prime minister's time has not yet come, Liangzhou has not yet been completely pacified, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son have not been eliminated, and Han Sui has not beheaded. At this time, a decisive battle with the Southern Huns will lose a lot of our soldiers and horses, and the gains outweigh the losses. "

Although the four counties of Shangjun, Xihe, Wuyuan and Shuofang have a large area, they are relatively barren.

Moreover, the population of Han people inside is not large. Apart from having some strategic value, taking this place will not bring much practical benefit to Dong Zhuo.

On the contrary, it may consume half of Xiliang's soldiers and horses, so Li Ru disagrees.

Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan went to play and sneak attack, and it was fine, and they left without entanglement after the fight, which was naturally no problem.

But when the Huns are really forced to a decisive battle with no retreat, it will be different.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little pity, but he still asked unwillingly: "I can't just let these wolf cubs be so cheap, I can't just let them leave Guanzhong easily like this."

A trace of cruelty flashed in Li Ru's eyes and said: "Prime Minister, of course we can't let them retreat easily. Guanzhong is not where they come and leave whenever they want. Of course we want to take revenge and hurt them."

"Okay, you can arrange it. I guess that bastard Luan Tiqiangqu will receive the news soon, and he should withdraw his troops." Only then did Dong Zhuo regain his joy and excitement.

Li Ru nodded. He had long predicted that the Southern Huns would withdraw, so not only did they dispatch troops to Liyi to confront the Southern Huns, but also quietly sent elites to ambush by the straight road out of the customs.

Plan ahead, take one step and see three steps, Li Ru is not bad.

So as soon as the Southern Huns withdrew, the Xiliang Army immediately received the news, and the next day the army went north to pursue it.

Quickly chased out of Guanzhong.

The Southern Xiongnu escaped into the straight road, and then went westward on the straight road to bypass the Luoshui without a bridge. After traveling for five miles, suddenly rolling stones fell from the mountains on both wings.

Countless boulders rushed down and smashed into the army of the Southern Huns, instantly breaking up the troops of the Southern Huns.

The Southern Huns howled.

Then, countless Xiliang Jingqi rushed out from the grass on the left flank.

"Damn it, there is an ambush by the Han people, hurry up..."

After seeing the banner of the incoming army, most of the Southern Huns did not take the initiative to greet them, but urged their horses to run forward.

Because this elite cavalry belongs to Dong Jin, Dong Jin fought against the Huns in Licheng, with twice as few troops, and suffered a one-to-two battle loss.

Let the Huns know his strength, and naturally few dare to fight him.

Moreover, the Southern Huns didn't know how many Han people were in ambush, so Luanti Qiangqu didn't even order to turn around, but took the lead in rushing through the ambush area.

Sure enough, within three miles, another cavalry came out. This was Fan Chou, a general from Xiliang, with a small number of only three thousand.

But the Huns did not dare to fight with them, and fled north more quickly.

Whether it was Fan Chou or Dong Jin, they didn't pursue much. They charged and killed a few times, leaving a total of six or seven thousand Huns, and then retreated south.

"Okay! Hahaha, it's really my destiny. The Southern Huns and the wolf cubs have been beaten away, and the Kanto has started a war. Now I can finally show my face." After a big victory, the traitors were also eliminated one after another.

Now that we have received the latest information from Kanto, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan have allied themselves, and the troops are divided into three groups to attack Xu Ding and Tao Qian.

The alliance of the five great lords pushed forward again and again, until Xu Ding was only able to parry, but had no intention of fighting back.

With the fight in Kanto, Dong Zhuo no longer had to pretend to be poisoned or unconscious, and he could finally go out to meet people in a legitimate way.

Dong Zhuo was of course happy that he could finally go out and show off his prestige again.

Li Ruben also wanted to persuade Dong Zhuo to wait for a while, and it would be best if Xu Ding was completely defeated.

But Dong Zhuo, who had been holding back for so long, lost his patience.

Especially when the southern Huns were defeated and fled north, it was time to reap their fame and greatly increase their prestige, so how could he agree.

Li Ru had no choice but to agree.

Soon the news of Dong Zhuo's awakening from the detoxification spread in Chang'an City, and the common people couldn't help sighing secretly.

Why isn't Fatty Dong dead?

This scourge is still alive, who saved him, which bastard.

But only those aristocratic families behaved very calmly.

Dong Zhuo pretended to be dizzy, and they already knew about the poisoning, but there was no proof.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo had left the mansion now, everyone became more vigilant.

But Dong Zhuo had just reappeared in front of the world, and one thing spoiled his interest.

There was an earthquake in Chang'an, earth dragons rolled, and an earthquake in Guanzhong.

The source of the earthquake was in Jingzhaoyin.

Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake was not very high. In Chang'an City, most of the houses in the West City collapsed, and the ground sank for a mile.

Not many houses collapsed in other urban areas, and no fires were caused.

"Damn!"

It was a bad luck for Dong Zhuo. He was very happy at first, but suddenly there was an earthquake, which made him very depressed.

Because of the earthquake, some rumors quickly spread in Chang'an City.

It is said that Dong Zhuo was the cause of this scourge, and God was angry when he saw that he was not dead, and wanted to use the earth dragon to take Dong Zhuo away.

"Come on, let me catch anyone who dares to spread rumors, arrest them all, and destroy his three clans!" Dong Zhuo said angrily:

"It must be the hands and feet of those aristocratic families in secret. Check it out for me. We must kill all these aristocratic families who are behind the scenes!"

"Prime Minister can't do it!" Li Ru persuaded:
"Prime Minister, it's better not to block this matter. It's hard for us to find out that the people of the aristocratic family are doing things secretly. On the contrary, such a large number of arrests will give them an excuse to cause trouble and confirm their slanderous words. We should find another way to deal with it." !"

Dong Zhuo said: "Whatever way you think of, I will kill whoever dares to spread the word, if there is one, I will kill one, if there are a thousand, I will kill a thousand, if there are a hundred thousand, I will kill a hundred thousand, until no one dares to spread it."

"Prime Minister! In fact, we can guide the people. All natural disasters in Lilai are related to the emperor." Li Ru said gloomyly:
"Prime Minister, why don't we declare to the public that this is the fault of the emperor, because the emperor of the Han Dynasty continued to be virtuous, and even the drought continued, and the emperor not only messed up the world, so that the heavens were angry and sent natural disasters and dragons to attack Guanzhong.

The Son of Heaven should issue a summons to the world. "

Dong Zhuo's face suddenly changed when he heard this, revealing a hint of playfulness.

"Well, that's not bad. All disasters in the world should belong to the emperor."

This has been the case in all dynasties. Whenever a catastrophe occurs in the world, the gentry and all the officials will blame it on the emperor's fault, and someone must take the blame.

And the emperor, as the co-lord of the world, naturally became the ideal bearer.

Now that Li Ru mentioned this, Dong Zhuo felt that it was feasible.

Then Li Ru said again: "Prime Minister, didn't Xu Ding always say in the newspapers that locust plagues are easy to occur after a long drought? If the emperor issued a sinful edict and then there was a locust plague, does this mean that the heavens are against Liu? Shi is dissatisfied and does not recognize him as the emperor, so we can make a fuss out of it."

It has not been a day or two since Dong Zhuo wanted to be an emperor, and he has long been dissatisfied with being a prime minister of the country.

Dong Zhuo's driving has already exceeded the limit, so Li Ru did not persuade him, but instead cleared the obstacles for him.

Because he also hoped that Dong Zhuo could really ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Then, as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he would naturally become the son-in-law of the new dynasty, and it would not be a problem to be named a marquis and worship a minister.

When going to court the next day, Dong Zhuo walked on the central avenue, followed by a group of civil and military ministers.

The emperor Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, and when everyone finished saluting, the court eunuch sang loudly: "If there is something to do, come, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

As soon as the court eunuch had finished speaking, someone stood up, bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, I have an answer!"

"What's the matter with Ai Qing?" Liu Xie glanced at the official and asked with a slight frown.

The man replied: "Your Majesty, there were earth dragons infesting the Guanzhong yesterday, destroying the land and destroying countless people. It is the glare of the fire, the separation and chaos, and this is the revelation from the heavens to me. I would like to ask your majesty to solve the problems of the great man and bring happiness to the people. The next crime has been ordered, let the anger of the gods dissipate, and let the roar of hell be quiet."

The person who said this was an official of the Qin Tianjian promoted by Dong Zhuo, and he went straight to the point when he came up, without any sloppiness.

Sure enough, Liu Xie above and the officials loyal to the big man in the hall all showed a hint of warmth and anger.

If glances could kill, this official had been killed several times by Yijing.

How dare you accuse the emperor.

If it is another era, Sangong Jiuqing is naturally happy to let the emperor take the blame, but now is a very important moment, naturally he is not willing to let the emperor's reputation be discredited, and the Han Dynasty will be even more precarious.

Therefore, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others were silent.

Even if it was Dong Zhuo's promotion or the officials sent by Dong, they didn't say anything, but focused on Dong Zhuo.

They will only come out to denounce the emperor when Dong Zhuo says they are doing it, and Dong Zhuo will follow the lead in everything.

Dong Zhuo glanced at the palace members and saw that no one came out to help Liu Xie, the puppet emperor, so he smiled triumphantly and said:

"Your Majesty thinks this proposal is very appropriate. If His Majesty can stand up and petition the gods for forgiveness and relieve the suffering of the people, then he will be the most wise monarch in the past 400 years of my great Han Dynasty. It will be the blessing of the people and the community. point."

Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon chair with his hands tightly tucked into his sleeves, his nails pinched in his flesh, and he was about to bleed. He closed his eyes, his heart felt like a knife, and he was filled with grief and indignation.

But in the end, he opened his eyes and said with a worried expression, "What do you think?"

Liu Xie wants to find some different voices and see where my big man's loyalty lies.

At this time, don't the loyal ministers of the big man come out to defend me, the emperor?

But he was disappointed, it would be an idiot to come out and sing against Dong Zhuo at this time.

Therefore, those who are really loyal to the Han Dynasty will not make a sound.

At that time, Dong Pai all joined in and said: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict for the crime, and pray for the blessings of the people of the world."
