Chapter 720: Xiliang Army Killing Each Other
"Raising troops to protect ourselves???"

"Captain Wu, do you want us to launch a mutiny?!"

"How can this be done?"

Inside the tent, Li Li and Li Ying were terrified.

To be honest, although the two were not optimistic about Dong Zhuo's future, after the death of their cousin Li Jue, they had a grudge with Su Yao and were loyal to Dong Zhuo and never thought of betraying him.

After all, Dong Zhuo was the benefactor who promoted them and gave them wealth and glory.

Although they did not agree with withdrawing to Meiwu, this kind of thing could still be discussed.

There's no need for everyone to kill each other over this.

Therefore, their first reaction was to reject Wu Fu:

"There must be some way to resolve this misunderstanding."

"We are loyal to the Prime Minister and have no second thoughts."

"As long as we go and explain clearly, Mr. Dong will definitely spare our lives out of consideration for our old friendship."

After Li Li finished speaking, Li Ying followed suit:

"Yes, Captain Wu, we have worked with Mr. Dong for many years. How could he not know our loyalty?"

Wu Fu heard this, sighed, and said helplessly: "Two captains, you are too naive."

"Dong the thief is now a frightened bird, how could he easily believe your explanation?"

"Besides, even if he is willing to believe you, do you think he will let you go?"

"He has been deserted by his friends and relatives now. In order to stabilize the situation, he must use you as a scapegoat to deter those who harbor dissenting ideas."

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check near his tent."

"I think there are probably swordsmen ready there, waiting for you two brothers to fall into their trap."

Wu Fu spoke with great confidence, but the situation was urgent and Dong Zhuo's messengers were urging him again and again.

In the end, the Li brothers had no choice but to delay time while secretly sending their trusted men to quietly check the situation around Dong Zhuo's camp to determine whether Wu Fu's guess was credible.

Soon, just as they were about to approach Dong Zhuo's tent, his confidant finally ran back in a hurry, reporting in panic:

"It's bad, Captain Li!"

"Really, there really is an axeman!"

Upon hearing this, Li Li and Li Ying's faces turned pale instantly, and the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was completely shattered.

The two of them had no idea that Dong Cheng had deliberately exposed a flaw so that his confidants could see the flaw.

As a result, the two people who had no suspicion immediately turned around and ran away, making an excuse that they had something to do.

As a result, the unusual behavior of the Li brothers immediately stimulated the messenger sent by Dong Zhuo, and the soldier immediately shouted at the top of his voice:

"Someone is coming!"

"The Li brothers are rebelling, someone come quickly to take them down!"

This guy caused chaos in the tent.

When the soldiers patrolling around heard this, they drew their weapons one after another. The followers brought by the Li brothers also drew their swords immediately, and protected the two men as they rushed towards their own camp.

Fortunately, they have not yet entered the area controlled by Dong Zhuo's core, and there are only sporadic patrolling soldiers on the surrounding roads.

When they saw their own people fighting, they didn't understand what was going on. They looked at each other, unable to react for a while.

In the chaos, the Li brothers successfully escaped back to their own control area. When they saw their own soldiers around them, they immediately shouted for help. For a while, a melee broke out in Chang'an City.

First, the Li brothers mobilized urgently in the chaos and fought with the soldiers who chased out of Dong Zhuo's camp.

At first, the two groups of people seemed to be fighting among street thugs.

There was no order or formation for everyone, they just fought in the streets, with people going back and forth, and they didn't even have time to put on their equipment.

Then, gradually, the leaders in the camp began to realize that something was wrong, especially Dong Zhuo.

Originally, he had been waiting for the Li brothers and his suspicions were growing. He felt that there was something wrong with them. Suddenly, shouts of killing broke out in the city. Dong Zhuo was even more shocked and angry:
"Yeah!"

"You actually dared to betray me!"

"Today I will let everyone know the consequences of being a traitor!"

After saying this, Dong Zhuo was furious and immediately ordered the entire army to attack. He ordered Dong Min and Dong Cheng in the commander's tent to dispatch their own troops to quell the rebellion, vowing to wipe out the Li brothers and their followers in one fell swoop.

As a result, what was originally just a small-scale conflict between the Li brothers and Dong Zhuo's cronies soon turned into an all-out melee between the Western Liang army in the city of Chang'an.

However, despite the chaotic situation, Dong Zhuo was still very confident that he could put down the rebellion and win as soon as possible.

Although the Li brothers were really desperate, Dong Zhuo was not a vegetarian.

Dong Zhuo, a veteran of many battles, understood the importance of balancing military power.

Although the Li brothers control a lot of power, it is still not enough to shake his dominant position.

Not to mention this time, Dong Zhuo believed that he was well prepared and it was even less likely that he would lose.

However, Dong Zhuo soon discovered that the development of the situation was slightly different from what he had imagined.

Logically speaking, although the Li brothers controlled nearly one-third of Chang'an's military forces, they were not all distributed in one camp. If the central army launched a sweep, they should be able to quickly defeat this group of rebels by taking the initiative.

However, just as Dong Zhuo's initially mobilized soldiers rushed to Li Ying's defense zone and fought with those hastily engaged soldiers, suddenly the Yueqi Captain Wu Fu came with 700 guards and horses and fought with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang guards:
"Kill!"

"Brothers, follow me to kill Dong and fight against the rebellion!"

In the east of Chang'an City, Wu Fu raised his arm and called out, and the guards under the command of the Yueqi Captain responded one after another. They held weapons in hand and followed Wu Fu to rush towards Dong Zhuo's rebellion suppression team.

Wu Fu's sudden attack was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing huge waves.

Dong Zhuo's personal guards never expected that at this critical moment, someone would stab them from behind.

"Wu Fu, you traitor, how dare you rebel against me!" Dong Zhuo roared and scolded.

He really didn't expect that this captain of the Yue cavalry, whom he had always tried hard to win over and whom he trusted very much, would stand up against him at this time.

Wu Fu sneered:
"Shameless thief!"

"You are not my king, and I am not your subject. How can we contradict each other? You have disrupted the country and usurped the throne. Your crimes are great and evil. Today is the day you, the rebel, will be executed!"

"I advise you to surrender immediately, otherwise we will tear you apart in public to thank the world!"

Hearing Wu Fu's words, Dong Zhuo's eyes turned red with anger, his hair and beard stood up, and he looked extremely ferocious:

"Wu Fu, you bastard, I will cut you into pieces and kill your entire clan!"

After the two men exchanged harsh words, the next thing could only be resolved on the battlefield.

The three armies fought against each other, and the east of Chang'an City was dark and blood flowed like a river.

The people closed their doors and shivered.

The warriors fought bloody battles for their respective masters.
