Chapter 5 Golden cicada shelling

As Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and formally took control of the government, his true face began to be gradually exposed. He was not satisfied with being a Taiwei, so he gave up this position to Huang Wan, and then threatened Xun Shuang to become Sikong; he himself asked to be named Xiangguo, promoted to Marquis of Mei, paid homage without a name, and walked on the palace with his sword, which is no longer as majestic as the emperor. different.He also named his mother Chiyangjun, and his four-year-old granddaughter Dong Bai as Weiyangjun, and the rest of the family gave generous titles, and all generals from Lu Bu down were promoted.He led his subordinates to invade the imperial palace, drank and had fun and stayed overnight in the palace, raped the late emperor's daughter-in-law, and bullied the maid.He also plundered all the treasures in the palace and the West Garden, distributed them to his subordinates, and even melted all the bronze figures, big bells, and water-swallowing beasts that symbolized the court's majesty, and cast them into copper coins for himself.Under his instructions, Langzhong ordered Li Ru to poison the deposed Empress Dowager He with poisoned wine...

These evil actions caused dissatisfaction among the officials.Chengmen school captain Wu Fu assassinated Dong Zhuo with a sharp knife in his arms, but not only failed, but was captured and killed by him. Since then, he has become more and more cruel and merciless to his officials, beheading them at every turn.Sometimes he even cut open the belly of those who disobeyed him in public, gouged out their eyes and tongues, and the methods were cruel and unsightly.And his subordinates also killed people like hemp, plundering people's property everywhere in Henan and Yuzhou, and bloodbathed countless villages.

However, his arrogance and indulgence also dazzled his head, and even the remonstrance of the head secretary Tian Yi gradually became indifferent.Shangshu Zhou Wei and others took advantage of this opportunity to pour ecstasy soup on him. On the surface, they touted him as the current Duke of Zhou, but they appointed many influential and talented people as outsiders. , Liu Dai was the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao was the prefect of Chenliu, and Zhang Zi was the prefect of Nanyang.Just when he was confused, news came that his son-in-law Niu Fu had defeated the Baibo rebel army. Dong Zhuo heard that he called the generals to gather for a banquet again, and the banquet was actually held in the back hall of the imperial palace.

"What time is it? Why hasn't Cao Mengde come here..." Dong Zhuo drank a lot of wine, and his tongue was a little short.Some of his subordinates were drinking with their heads down, some were already drunk, and some were pulling the court lady to commit adultery, but at this moment no one paid any attention to his words. Dong Zhuo was annoyed, he slammed the table, the dishes jumped up, everyone fell silent.Xu Rong saw that he was in a hurry, and persuaded him: "Don't worry, Cao Cao went to several of our camps an hour ago! Later Feng Fang chased him back and said that there was a fight in the camp because of food distribution. It’s not over yet.”

Dong Min saw that his brother was still not relieved, so he immediately poured wine for him again, and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you so angry? If you don't come, don't come, he is not from our Liangzhou department." "You know what a fart!" Dong Zhuo downed the wine in one breath, tried his best to stay awake, and said solemnly: "The Luoyang generals are submissive on the surface and dissatisfied in their hearts. You need someone like Cao Cao to keep them safe, otherwise this group of people will all make trouble stand up." "Let's make trouble, let's kill them all at worst." Hu Zhen interjected.

"Do you fucking think I don't want to kill?" Dong Zhuo finally couldn't hold back and leaned on the case, "What's the use of killing them all and leaving an empty court? Who... who will handle the state affairs for us, where will the money, food and treasure come from? If they are all fucking slaughtered, will you rule the country?" "I won't, I will kill people." Hu Zhen turned to ask Yang Ding again, "Can you rule the country?" "If you treat your head, I can only kill people." Dong Yue was pulling a court lady's hands and feet at the moment, and then said: "Not only can I kill people, but I can also drink and fuck women!"

"Who asked you this, do you know how to govern?" Yang Ding pushed him. "Stop fucking nonsense, the world is so big, you can rob whoever you want, I have food and drink and women do it, and there is a bird to govern the country!" All the generals burst into laughter, while Dong Zhuo climbed on the table and muttered, "I'll talk fucking nonsense..." Gradually, he started snoring.Seeing that the old man was asleep, everyone bullied Gong'e even more brazenly, eating and drinking. At this time, Tian Yi and Lu Bu hurried into the hall.Seeing the messy scene inside, Tian Yi shouted: "Stop making trouble! Be quiet!"

Everyone went their own way and ignored it. Seeing this, Lu Bu drew out his sword, and with a click, cut a piece of paper into two pieces.The mischievous generals were startled, and quickly calmed down and did not dare to move.Tian Yi saw Dong Zhuowu lying drunk, quickly grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously. Dong Zhuo felt that someone was disturbing his dream, so he pulled his arm out and pushed Tian Yi somersault.Seeing this, Lu Bu became even more anxious. He pulled Dong Zhuo up and shouted, "Father! Cao Cao has escaped!" "What did you say!" Dong Zhuo woke up suddenly.

"Cao Mengde ran away." Lu Bu said again. "No way?" Dong Zhuo hiccupped, shook his head, and tried his best to wake himself up. "My boy went to Duting to invite him to a banquet, but he was nowhere to be found in all the camps, and even Feng Fang was not seen, and the people we placed did not know where they went. My boy sent Qin Yilu to Cao's mansion to look for him, Cao Cao is not at home, and the family thought he was in the camp." "Will you go hunting?" "What did you shoot at night?" Tian Yi got up now: "My lord, wake up! That guy Cao Cao ran away, he has been acting in front of you."

Dong Zhuo seemed to understand: "Zhu Zi'an dares to do this! The old man treated him sincerely, gave him gifts, and added an official position to him. Why did he..." Before finishing his sentence, Wu Kuang ran in in a panic: "Xiangguo! Yuan Shu is gone." Dong Zhuoyue was furious, overturned the case table in a fit of anger, and shouted: "Send someone quickly to kill all the family members of the Yuan family, the Cao family, and the Feng family in Luoyang!" "Wait a minute!" Tian Yi stopped him, "You will really turn them back if you do it now, it's not time yet!"

"What do you think?" "Let's pass it on to Xizhou County and arrest the three of them. If they don't, it's fine. If they do, take their family members as hostages. Xiangguo doesn't need to be angry. Even if they do, we still have something to kill them." "What?" Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up. "It's that Hongnong King Liu Bian." "What's the use of abolishing the emperor?" "No! No! My lord did not usurp the throne. These Central Plains scholars raised their troops in the name of restoring the deposed emperor Liu Bian. When we kill Liu Bian, they will be at a loss immediately Yes." Tian Yi squinted his eyes and sneered, "At that time, they will have differences, fight each other, and kill each other! The world is full of hustle and bustle, nothing but running around for fame and fortune. I don't believe that these hypocrites can be so selfless. .” Dong Zhuo nodded, and then ordered: "Fengxian, quickly send a message to Xizhou County, and arrest these three fugitives, especially that Cao Mengde!" "No!" Lu Bu responded and left.
