Dong Cheng was captured, and the 10,000 imperial guardsmen were wiped out in ashes!
Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Yuan Fang in panic with an unbelievable look on his face.
With that look, it was as if what he saw was not a human being, but an omnipotent devil.
"Before landing at Pingjin Ferry, my master had already expected that your majesty would call Dong Cheng back for reinforcements, so he sent General Wen and his leopard cavalry to set up an ambush halfway. This is the second surprise my master has given to your majesty."
At the bottom of the stairs, Zhuge Liang explained the truth loudly, with no concealment of respect for his master in his tone.
Liu Xie suddenly realized, his breath was angry and rapid, as if he was suffocating.
After a long while, he regained his composure, glared at Yuan Fang with a grimace and said, "Yuan Fang, do you also want to be like Dong Zhuo, a rebellious minister and traitor, despised by the world?"
"I am different from Dong Zhuo." Yuan Fang replied lightly.
Liu Xie snorted coldly: "You brought troops to the capital, were good at killing ministers, and threatened me. How are you different from Dong Zhuo?"
"Dong was violent and violent, treating the people as nothing but trivial matters, and losing the support of the people. But I, Yuan Fang, did little work, so that the people could have food to eat, clothing to wear, and to protect their homes and fields from being destroyed by bandits or invaded by tyrants. . I, Yuan Fang, dare to send troops to the capital to face your majesty today precisely because I have the support of the people of the six states and I am fearless. "
Those words were frank and shocking.
Liu Xie was also shocked for a while, but he snorted disdainfully and said sarcastically: "What a joke. The hearts of the people are towards the Han Dynasty, but I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the people's hearts are only for me. How can I help you raise troops to the capital? Come and threaten me." "
"If the people's hearts are for the Han, and Zhang Jiao raises his arms and shouts, why do the people all over the world respond in large numbers? Where does the Yellow Turban Rebellion come from? If the people's hearts are for the Han, and I, Yuan Fang, enter Luoyang, why does not a single person in the city step out to stop His Majesty? Me? If the people's hearts are toward the Han Dynasty, why are there only these eunuchs and eunuchs left by Your Majesty?"
Yuan Fang's voice was stern and he asked fiercely, making Liu Xie's face turn green and white. I felt a bit ashamed.
"Your Majesty, wake up and face the reality. The Han Dynasty has lost the hearts of all the people in the world. Who can keep them fed? Who can protect their homeland? Who can truly treat them as subjects, not as people to be slaughtered? Who will they support? Your Majesty, you are obviously not that person.¡±
"Yuan Fang! You - you -"
Liu Xie was so angry that he was trembling all over, pointing his finger at Yuan Fang, but he didn't know how to refute Yuan Fang's rebellious words.
"Yuan Fang, I didn't expect that you would insist on following Dong Zhuo's footsteps. Then I will see with my own eyes how you will be executed by all the princes in the world, and how you will die like Dong Zhuo!"
Extremely angry, Liu Xie went crazy and roared at Yuan Fang, looking gloating at his misfortune.
Obviously, Liu Xie firmly believed that Yuan Fang was by no means a match for the three princes, and would definitely be destroyed by the combined efforts of all the heroes in the world.
"very good!"
Yuan Fang sneered and said proudly: "Then your majesty, please open your eyes wide and appreciate how I, Yuan Fang, can wipe out the heroes!"
After saying this, Yuan Fang turned around and walked away.
Seeing this "arrogant" person leaving, Liu Xie was shocked and angry, almost as if he had collapsed, and fell back onto the dragon throne.
"This guy is actually more arrogant and domineering than Dong Zhuo back then"
While Liu Xie was still horrified, Zhuge Liang had already taken a step forward and said coldly: "Come here, send His Majesty to the inner palace, and 'protect' him well. No one is allowed to disturb him."
At the order, a group of tiger warriors came up the stairs and stared at Liu Xie with eager eyes.
The so-called ¡®protection¡¯ naturally means that Yuan Fang wants to put him, the emperor, under house arrest, isolate him from the outside world, and completely control him.
"Your Majesty, please." Zhuge Liang waved his hand.
Liu Xie had no choice but to swallow the bad breath bitterly, propped himself up from the dragon throne, and weakly moved to the inner palace under the surveillance of the tiger warriors.
"Yuan Fang, if you want to imitate Dong Zhuo, I'm just waiting to see you die without a burial place"
¡¡
?????????? At dusk.
Luoyang City, which was originally in panic, has returned to calm.
Except for those Qingliu ministers who were loyal to Liu Xie and Dong Cheng's accomplices who were arrested and imprisoned, Yuan Fang showed no respect for the officials and people in Luoyang City.
When the sun was setting in the west, Yuan Fang stood at the east gate of Luoyang, looking eastward with eagle eyes.
Not long after, the dust and mist started to rise, and a group of horses came like the wind. Looking from a distance, I saw in my eyes that Wen Chou was leading the victorious army to join forces.
?????????????????? Not long after, thousands of leopards rode to Luoyang.
After a while, Wen Chou escorted a person and walked excitedly.He reached the top of the city, held up his hands and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I followed your Majesty's plan and successfully ambushed the Imperial Forest Army. I have captured Dong Cheng alive. Please tell me, Your Majesty."
"Ziqin fought well in this battle!"
Yuan Fang smiled and praised, turning his eyes to the gray-headed middle-aged man behind Wen Chou.
That person was naturally the emperor¡¯s father-in-law, the leader of the royalist party, and the imperial cavalry general Dong Cheng.
"Dong Cheng, do you know your guilt?" Yuan Fang asked in a deep voice.
Dong Cheng glared at Fang Yuan and said sternly: "I am a chariot general of the Han Dynasty and the current head of state, Yuan Fang, why do you arrest me? Do you want to rebel?"
"Dong Cheng, you don't have to pretend to be generous in front of me. Do you think I don't know that it was you who incited the emperor to incite Zhongji to poison me, and secretly ordered three princes to enter Luoyang to deal with me together?" Yuan Fang asked sarcastically. road.
When his intentions were exposed, Dong Cheng's expression changed, but he said sternly: "You support your own troops, disrespect the emperor, and clearly intend to usurp the country of the Han Dynasty. I, Dong Cheng, am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Of course, I will try my best to eliminate the traitors for the imperial court. I only hate that I am not strong enough to eliminate them." Get rid of you traitor."
"Loyal minister, you deserve to be called a loyal minister, haha¡ª¡ª"
Yuan Fang laughed wildly, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Dong Cheng all felt as if the light was shining on his back, and for a moment he did not know what to say.
The laughter suddenly stopped, Yuan Fangren looked at him and said coldly: "You have had many secret meetings with Zhong Ji, planning to use the name of the emperor to murder me, Yuan Fang, to seize my inheritance, and then follow the example of your relatives in the past to seduce the emperor. , The power of the world, do you think I don¡¯t know your ambition? You are worthy of being called a loyal minister, you are really thick-skinned than Liu Bei, who claims to be a royal. "
In an instant. Dong Cheng was extremely frightened and looked at Yuan Fang with a horrified look, as if he had seen a ghost.
Who would have expected that Yuan Fang would also know about his conspiracy with Zhong Ji?
"Could it be that Zhong Ji, who is so greedy for life, has confessed all my secrets? Otherwise, how could this kid know?"
Dong Chengshang was shocked, Yuan Fang was already murderous. He shouted sternly: "Come here. Behead this person who tried to murder me on the spot to shock the young people!"
At the order, the tiger soldiers on the left and right swarmed forward. Push Dong Cheng to the top of the city. I'm going to kill him.
Dong Cheng was shocked and angry. He shouted: "I am the head of the dynasty and an important minister of the court. Only the emperor is qualified to kill me. Yuan Fang, if you dare to kill me, you are treasonous."
"If you want to die with a justifiable name, I will satisfy your request." Yuan Fang snorted coldly and shouted: "Send an order to Zhuge Liang and ask him to quickly have the emperor draft an imperial edict to kill Dong Cheng and send it to the city wall immediately."
A group of pro-army soldiers headed straight for the imperial city.
Not long after, the pro-army troops returned and presented a volume of imperial edict.
Yuan Fang shook out the imperial edict and showed it in front of Dong Cheng. Inside was the emperor's personal handwriting and was stamped with the emperor's jade seal.
"Obviously, Liu Xie was afraid of Yuan Fang's power and refused to obey Yuan Fang's orders. He personally wrote this imperial edict to kill his father-in-law.
When Dong Cheng saw this imperial edict, he was so suppressed that his face flushed red, and he howled angrily: "Yuan Fang, you threaten the emperor and murder loyal ministers of the imperial court, you will be like Dong Zhuo, and you will not have a good death~~"
"It is because there are too many traitorous ministers like you in the imperial court who are called loyal ministers but are actually just worms, that they have brought disaster to a good country like this!"
Yuan Fang sternly rebuked, raised his hand, and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Kill me!"
Amid the threatening shouts, the swordsman raised the sword without any hesitation and then lowered it with determination.
"Yuan Fang, you must not¡ª¡ª"
Poof!
The blade cut off, and Dong Cheng's head flew to the ground.
The emperor of the dynasty was beheaded by Yuan Fang.
After killing Dong Cheng, Yuan Fang hung his head on the north gate of Luoyang to deter those Qing faction officials who claimed to be loyal to the emperor.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Fang mobilized another 200,000 infantry troops and rushed to the front line of Luoyang, preparing to meet the armies of the three princes.
Not long after, the news that Yuan Fang conquered Luoyang, held the emperor hostage, and executed Dong Cheng spread all over the country.
To the south, Cao Cao and Sun Ce reacted quickly.
According to reports, Cao Cao has assembled a force of about 70,000 troops from the two states of Jing and Yu, heading north from Xiangyang and approaching Luoyang from the south.
On the east side of the Yangtze River, after Sun Ce received Liu Xie's secret edict, he left his younger brother Sun Quan to guard Moling. He also personally led an army of 60,000 to march towards Hefei and threaten Yuan Fang's Huainan front.
On the front line of Guanzhong, Ma Teng, instigated by Chen Gong, entangled Han Sui, Zhang Xiu and other twelve Xiliang princes, and one hundred thousand cavalry came out.Pass, under the banner of rescuing the emperor, march towards Luoyang.
Three major enemies, totaling 230,000 troops, launched an attack on Yuan Fang from three directions.
¡¡
In Luoyang City, in the military mansion, all the counselors gathered to listen to this urgent information.
Everyone present was both nervous and excited, and everyone¡¯s blood was secretly boiling.
They all know that this general will attack the world, and it will be the most unprecedented scale battle since the world was in chaos.
The total number of troops of both the enemy and ourselves in this battle will reach more than 400,000, which will even exceed the battle of the Eighteen Route Princes against Dong.
The outcome of this battle is related to the fate of the world, and the lives and fortunes of countless people will also be staked on this battle.
"The three enemies are not ordinary people. How should we fight this battle? What strategies do you have?" Yuan Fang looked calm, calmer than ever before.
Guo Jia took the lead and said: "Among the three princes, Ma Teng has the largest army, but his Xiliang army is not monolithic. Han Sui and Zhang Xiu each have their own agendas. Although their armies are strong, they are not to be feared. Our biggest enemy , or Cao Cao and Sun Ce."
Yuan Fang nodded slightly: "What Feng Xiao said is true. After the two men carved up Jingzhou, their strength increased greatly. Now they have joined forces to launch an attack from the south. It should not be underestimated. I have been thinking about whether I can use the strategy. Disintegrate the alliance between the Cao and Sun families, and then defeat them individually."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person in front of the palace said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may realize what your Majesty wants." (To be continued)
