Chapter 53 The Grand Master and the General (1)

More than ten miles east of Luoyang City, 50,000 Dongjun were rushing to the road.

The middle-armed man wiped Duan Wei's sweat from his forehead, looked at the direction of Luoyang in the distance, and was very worried.

He was the subordinate of General He Jin, because the general was murdered by the Ten Generals and had no master to rely on, so he had to lead his subordinates to surrender to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo treated him well and promoted him to become the General of the Central Army, so he was always moved.

However, although Dong Zhuo was kind to his subordinates, he had a bad temper and had a disagreement, so he would destroy the whole family, often leaving him with worries about being with a tiger. Dong Zhuo also killed the people and pretended to be military merits. A few days ago, he even deposed the emperor Liu Bian and appointed his younger brother Liu Xie as the king. Although Duan Wei did not agree, he would never dare to say no to Dong Zhuo, but he was just worried secretly.

This time, the Guandong princes met to attack Dong Zhuo, and he felt that things were not good. Han Sui of the Western Liang Dynasty rose up again, and took the banner of the deposed emperor Liu Bian, captured Chang'an, and cut off the Dong army's way to retreat westward. Duan Wei was frightened when he saw the court being attacked from both sides, but he could not leave. He had to follow Dong Zhuo to lead troops to resist the enemy, and he had to go there for life and death.

The traitors in Chang'an were cunning and wise, and even used the trick of secretly crossing Chen Cang to lead the iron cavalry to attack quickly, and caught the Taishi off guard. It seemed that there were extremely smart people in the enemy army, so they must be careful.

Duan Wei was thinking, and suddenly heard a sound of war drums shaking the sky. A group of horses rushed from afar and stopped in front of him. About tens of thousands of cavalrymen were tying the banner of "Liu".

Duan Wei was shocked and slapped his horse forward, looking closely. He saw a young general in front of him, with a cold face. He looked at him and shouted coldly: "Are you Duan Wei?"

Duan Wei held up his long sword, focused his attention and whispered: "I am Duan Wei, the general of the Central Army, who are you?"

He would not answer, and he took a long bow from his horse, took a sharp arrow, and slowly pulled it away.

Duan Wei glared at him, and suddenly felt a strange feeling surged up, as if he was being targeted by a lion. The power held by the general seemed to surpass Dong Zhuo.

The strong bow was pulled like a full moon, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at Duan Wei's throat. Duan Wei felt a chill suddenly surge into his heart. The murderous aura was still shocked by the hundreds of steps, so he dared not move around. He was shocked, knowing that he had encountered a powerful general whose archery skills were comparable to those of the Grand Master.

Although he had a sword in his hand, he knew that half of his life was in the other party's hand. As long as the arrow was shot out, he would be injured if he didn't die. He thought he could not escape Dong Zhuo's dragon arrow, and the power of this arrow was not inferior to the dragon arrow, and he could not escape even more.

Seeing that the other party was ready to go, Duan Wei hurriedly said, "Do you go! Who are you? Under the jurisdiction of His army, let me tell you clearly before fighting!"

A burst of intense war drums rang out all over the sky, and a military horse suddenly appeared in the southwest and surrounded it. The military horse had tens of thousands, which was only a lot more than the number of people in his own army, and half of them were Qiang soldiers!

Duan Wei's thoughts were heard and he secretly complained: "The Qiang soldiers are from Xiliang. It seems that this is the Xiliang army that is under the banner of Liu Bian! Those Qiang soldiers came around Luoyang, but the iron cavalry in front of him was blocking the gate of Luoyang City. Could it be that Luoyang City has been captured by the Xiliang army?"

The drums were roaring, and a cavalry rushed over to the north, blocking the right wing of our army. Duan Wei was frightened, and the commander of the rear team rushed over and knelt in front of the horse and replied: "Report to General, a cavalry came from behind, and went around the rear of our army and intercepted our army's rear!"

Duan Wei cried in his heart: "How come so many enemy troops appear outside Luoyang City?"

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a horse in front of him running through the army formation, and someone immediately shouted: "God general, wait! Let the old minister persuade General Duan!"

Duan Wei looked closely and saw that the man's hair and beard were all white. It was the Grand Marshal Huang Wan, and he felt a little relieved.

Huang Wan rushed to Fengsha with a horse, bowed and said, "Old minister Huang Wan, have seen the general! The emperor has ordered the old minister to come and persuade Duan Wei, and ask him to abandon the rebels and return to the court."

Feng Sha put away the bow and arrow and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work in Taiwei."

Huang Wan said he did not dare and whispered to Duan Wei: "General Duan Zhonglang! Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, and he is punished now! The emperor ordered that only Dong Zhuo be executed, and the rest of the people can forgive the crime. General Duan Zhonglang is the main force of the country, so why should he ruin the reputation of the traitor?"

Duan Wei was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Is the Grand Master dead?"

A white horse rolled in with smoke and dust. Huang Shang rode his horse in front of the army, pointed forward with a goose feather fan in his hand, shouting loudly: "The evil one has been killed, and the army has not yet surrendered, so when will it be!"

The 50,000 soldiers Duan Wei was already shocked by Dong Zhuo's death. Suddenly, he was awakened by the silence of the ceaseless shout. He looked at him closely, and countless people immediately exclaimed in surprise.

In front of the white horse's neck, there was a huge head, with disheveled hair and blood on his beard. It was the head of the Grand Master Dong Zhuo!

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was really dead, Duan Wei's face was silent and he was stunned.

Huang Wan shouted repeatedly, awakening Duan Wei, and complaining to him about his pros and cons, saying that as long as he is willing to surrender, he will not blame everything in the past, and if there is any contribution in the future, he will be promoted to the title.

Duan Wei suddenly realized and immediately got off the horse and knelt down, begging the general to forgive him. He knew very well that the Xiliang army had occupied Luoyang, so he naturally followed the general as the leader of the political affairs, so he pleaded with Fengsha.

Feng Sha said calmly: "Exempt guilt!"

Huang Shangzong shouted in a loud voice: "The general is kind and can be spared from the crime of the army! All the troops can surrender quickly to avoid the sword and axe!"

Seeing this, Hu Chier beside him hurriedly led his subordinates to shout loudly. For a moment, Dong Jun heard the call for "exemption of guilt" sounded from all sides.

Fifty thousand soldiers were surrounded and were panicked. When they heard that they could be exempted from punishment, they all gave up their weapons and knelt on the ground, and no one dared to resist.

Seeing that the big thing was settled, Huang Shang slid his beard and laughed, and said complacently: "I have a way. I only make two old lieutenants say. If the soldiers are not bloody, all 50,000 elite soldiers will become my subordinates!"

※Shoulder, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall, wall,

In the main hall of the palace, civil and military officials entered one after another, bowed upwards, saying "Long Live" and everyone's face was surprised and happy.

The young emperor sat upright on the throne, his face was plain and peaceful.

Behind him was a bead curtain hanging, and behind the curtain was a beautiful man with pearls and jade heads and gorgeous clothes, which was the Queen Mother He.

Looking at the respectful and surprised faces of all the officials, He Hou was filled with mixed feelings. The last time he appeared here was the day when Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and abolished the emperor. Now when he thinks about it, he feels like a different world.

In those days, I was really crying and worried about the child's life. If that man had not appeared in time, the lives of his mother and son would have been ruined to the hands of the rebel minister.

Her eyes glanced out of the bead curtain, but she couldn't see the Yingwei man who was obsessed with her, and she felt lost.

Soon, most of the officials had arrived. They arranged their civil and military personnel in the court, bowed to the ground, and shouted long live the mountain.

After the ceremony, all officials will return to their positions.

Situ Yang Biao held a tablet in his hand and made a comment: "Dong Zhuozun rebels and plotted to abolish the emperor. Today, his son has returned to the capital. He should order the world to return to his throne and order King Chenliu to return to his throne, and to punish Dong Zhuo's generals for assisting the rebels!"

The young emperor said calmly: "What Yang Situ said is very true. My brother, King Chenliu, was held hostage by Dong Zhuo and forced to be the emperor. All the edicts were sent out of the hands of Dong Bids. They sat on the court every day, like a thorn on their backs, and were bullied by Dong Bids. I feel sorry for him. Now that I have returned to the palace, I can still be named King Chenliu and give him a residence outside the palace. However, only Dong Bids are chasing the government, and the rest can be exempted from being punished. As long as they are willing to surrender to the court, even if they are old generals of Dong Zhuo, they can not be punished."

When the officials heard this, although they were a little surprised, they all breathed a sigh of relief. When Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, everyone had to surrender to Dong Zhuo, otherwise it would be difficult to save their lives. Now that they heard that the emperor was so generous, their crime of abstaining from rebellion would not be forgotten, and they couldn't help but feel happy secretly.

The Grandpa Wang Yun came out to report: "Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, four people, helping evil and abuse, and Dong Zhuo's domineering behavior are all from the four people's efforts! Your Majesty is enough to pardon others, and these four people are absolutely unforgivable!"
