Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 417 Closing the Net
The sun had completely set and night had fallen. Both armies inside and outside Hulao Pass were resting.

In a hall somewhere inside Hulao Pass, there were beautiful women singing and dancing. Even during such a tense battle situation, Dong Zhuo did not forget to enjoy himself.

As he drank the wine, the alcohol started to take effect and he began to feel a little tipsy.

The group of dancers dancing in the middle were already graceful, and under the influence of alcohol, they looked even more beautiful than fairies.

"Hehe, okay... okay..."

He stumbled to his feet, walked to the center of the hall, and hugged the two dancers.

The two of them were only girls in their teens. They were already extremely afraid of the notorious Grand Tutor. When this situation suddenly occurred, they instinctively struggled and screamed.

However, the generals sitting around not only did not help, but they all became beastly and rushed forward, taking each of the girls away one by one. A few who failed to grab one simply shared one with other generals.

In this hall, there were suddenly waves of begging for mercy and wailing.

"what……"

Just as the generals were preparing to vent their beastly desires unscrupulously, Dong Zhuo suddenly let out a scream.

He was seen covering his left ear with blood flowing out from between his fingers. One of the girls he had just hugged was frightened and collapsed to the ground.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

The generals were so shocked that they had no time to do anything good and hurried over.

Dong Zhuo looked at the blood on his hands and his face suddenly became extremely hideous and terrifying.

"Damn it, you little slut, drag me down and beat me to death! No, drag them all down!"

The girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"Grand Master, please spare my life, Grand Master, please spare my life..."

"I like you guys, but you dare to resist me. As long as I destroy the Guandong Army outside, I will be as virtuous as the Three Sovereigns and as meritorious as the Five Emperors. Not to mention being a mere Grand Master, even if I am crowned as an emperor, it is reasonable. A few lowly dancers dared to bite me. Damn it, damn it!"

Dong Zhuo was so angry that he overturned the table.

Li Jue, Guo Si and others hurried over to flatter him.

"Yes, yes, the Grand Tutor's contributions are unparalleled in the world. Liu Xie is just a boy, so he should abdicate to the Grand Tutor. Once Yuan Shao and others are arrested, I will do it immediately."

"Don't worry, Grand Master. Once the Guandong coalition is destroyed, the world will be under your control. Who dares to disobey? Please calm down..."

Dong Zhuo calmed down after listening to their words.

"Okay, well said. After I become emperor, all of you will be founding heroes, given titles of nobility and appointments of generals, high positions and generous salaries. Hahahaha... I, oh no, it's me... I will never treat you unfairly..."

The generals were very happy and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, Grand Master... No, it should be thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."

"Your Majesty? Okay, it's Your Majesty, hahahaha..."

"Report...something bad has happened...Teacher...something bad has happened..."

A soldier stumbled in, fell to his knees, and looked extremely panicked.

Dong Zhuo, who had just been immersed in his dream of becoming emperor, became furious again after being disturbed by his actions.

"Asshole! You dare to say something bad about me on such a beautiful day? Come on, drag him away and chop him off!"

The soldier turned pale with fear.

Li Jue was still somewhat sober and said, "Grandmaster, he came to report in such a hurry, there must be something important, let him finish speaking."

Dong Zhuo glared at the soldier fiercely and said impatiently: "Hurry up and speak! If you say anything that displeases me, I will tear you into pieces!"

"Yes...a villain...a villain..." The soldier was frightened by him and was at a loss whether he should report it or not.

Li Jue shouted, "Grand Master gave you a chance, why don't you speak quickly!"

"Ah, yes, yes..."

He said hurriedly: "It's a big deal. Zhu Ye suddenly killed General Yang Ding who stayed in Luoyang with a hammer and opened the city gate. Liu He and Guan Yu captured Hangu Pass and Mengjin Port respectively, and led more than 200,000 troops to control Luoyang. Liu He also issued an imperial edict, saying that the Grand Master is... is..."

Li Jue was so anxious that he kicked him: "What is it? Tell me!"

"He said that the Grand Master was a traitor to the Han Dynasty. He should be skinned alive and his tendons pulled out, and his body left exposed in the wilderness..."

"Nonsense! Impossible!"

Dong Zhuo simply lifted up a table and smashed it on the soldier, who was knocked unconscious instantly.

"He's talking nonsense! Liu He is loyal to me, how could he betray me! Moreover, how could he have an army of 200,000? It's obvious that this little thief is deceiving me!"

"Grandmaster, please calm down. I'm afraid this is true..."

Fan Chou stood up and shouted loudly.

"Wen You has long said that Liu He is cunning and must be pretending to surrender to the Grand Tutor. Liu He repeatedly offered advice, seemingly thinking about the Grand Tutor, but now looking back, he just wanted to deceive the Grand Tutor's trust so that our army and Yuan Shao and others would both suffer losses, so that he could take the opportunity to seize Luoyang from the rear."

"Yes, this Liu He has ulterior motives..."

The generals had long been unhappy with Liu He and Zhu Ye. When the soldier came to report the news, although they were shocked and surprised, they had no doubt about the news.

"Impossible! I am the true emperor. How dare Liu He betray me?"

Dong Zhuo drew his sword and waved it around like a madman.

At this moment, bursts of shouting and screaming suddenly came faintly from outside the house.

"Kill..."

"In compliance with the Emperor's order, capture and kill the traitor Dong Zhuo. The rest will be spared if they surrender..."

"My young master Zhu Ye is here, who dares to block my hammer..."

The generals were shocked when they heard this and rushed out to check. When they came back, they were all in a panic.

"Grandmaster, it's bad, Liu He is leading a large army to attack us!"

Dong Zhuo finally came to his senses and ran out quickly, looking around for a long time.

I saw that the area west of Hulao Pass was originally a wilderness and very quiet, but now it was filled with torches. I didn't know how many troops were coming.

The sounds of fighting, begging for mercy, the sound of horse hooves, and the clashing of weapons were endless, and the scene was a mess.

“Really… this is true…”

Dong Zhuo's face turned pale instantly, and he was on the verge of falling. He only managed to stay supported by Li Jue and others.

His eyes suddenly became violent again.

"Well, well done to you little Liu He. One year! He actually used one year to deceive me. What a trick! What a trick! I will tear you into pieces and kill all of your Liu family members!"

"Grandmaster, we are now attacked from all sides. Please follow us to break out. As long as we return to Xiliang, we will have a chance to make a comeback."

Li Jue's words made Dong Zhuo suddenly realize everything.

"Good, good... Break out, we must break out, go back to Xiliang, quickly, break out!"

He dragged his bloated body and quickly fled down the city wall in one direction under the escort of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
