Chapter 415: The Demon King Comes Out of the Cage
Long before Gao Wang set off, he received Liu Hong's secret order, but if Dong Zhuo made any changes, he would be shot and killed!
Even three days ago, Liu Hong once again stepped up his monitoring of Dong Zhuo, and at the same time brought a new order to Gao Wang - wait for the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo!
The main reason for letting Dong Zhuo die before was because he was afraid of stimulating the rumored heroes and causing a rift between them and the Han court.
At that time, the Yellow Turban Army was in full swing. Although Liu Hong was not a wise king, he did not dare to force the heroes too much at this time for the sake of his own life.
However, the current situation was different. The Yellow Turban Army's offensive was thwarted, and the imperial court had already begun a large-scale counterattack. Seeing that the Yellow Turban bandits were not infested, Liu Hong naturally began to clean up those who threatened his throne.
And Dong Zhuo was the first to bear the brunt, becoming Liu Hong's first purge target
Following Gao Wang's order, a hundred Habayashi guards rose up, bowed their bows and set arrows at Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo didn't seem to see the hundred ninth-rank strong soldiers, he looked at Gao Wang contemptuously, and didn't move.
Gao Wang felt more and more wrong, but he was not allowed to think too much at this time, waved his hand, and shouted sharply: "Shoot the arrow, kill him!"
"Shhhhhh..."
The string was like a thunderbolt, the arrow rained rapidly, and the screams came one after another, and nearly half of the hundred Habayashi guards fell down in an instant!
"What?" Gao Wang was horrified, and suddenly turned around, only to see thousands of Qiang sharpshooters pointing their bows at them not far behind.
Gao Wang's pupils shrank suddenly, glanced at Habayashi Wei who had suffered heavy losses, and then at Dong Zhuo, who was leisurely and contented, and said through gritted teeth: "Habayashi Wei obeyed the order, sent a signal to the outside for help, and tried our best to stop the intruders. Follow me to kill the rebellious Dong Zhuo!"
Saying that, Gao Wang pulled out the sword from his waist, and rushed towards Dong Zhuo with a resolute look! Regardless of the military strength of the ten permanent servants in history, anyway, the personal combat power of the ten permanent servants in "Beacon" is still quite good. Under the leadership of Gao Wang, the embroidered messenger and the big inner master rushed to kill Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was still the same as before, drinking the spirits leisurely, not paying attention to Gao Wang and other dozens of big insiders.
"The thief dares to hurt Dong Gong!"
Of course, Dong Zhuo's indifference was not due to arrogance. Just when Gao Wang and others were about to rush in front of Dong Zhuo, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side. Looking at their attire, there are not only Qiang people who have been entangled with the Han court for hundreds of years, but also generals of the Han army.
There are even quite a few Yellow Turban generals!
The strength is extremely tyrannical, most of them are historical military generals, coupled with the huge number, Gao Wang's masters were killed and retreated steadily, and soon they were all killed and injured, leaving Gao Wang alone!
And although the strength of the Habayashi Guards was the highest in the world, their opponents were also carefully selected elites. Coupled with their ten times superiority in strength, they had the upper hand, and soon the entire army was wiped out.
As for the external reinforcements that Gao Wang called before, there was no movement at all!
"Gao Gonggong, I will give you a chance based on the past love, are you willing to surrender?" Dong Zhuo drank the fine wine in the flagon in one gulp, got up and patted the dust on his body, picked up the hoe and paced in front of Gao Wang asked.
"Those who rebel against the Lord, kill or cut them up!"
Although Gao Wang was captured, he had no fear on his face, and even the femininity on his face dissipated a lot, as if he had sacrificed a man.
"Oh! What a pity!"
Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh when he heard the words, then closed his eyes and waved his hands.
"puff……"
With a soft sound, blood arrows shot out, and a young general in yellow armor beheaded Gao Wang's head with a single knife.
Holding the head of the high-profile man, the man in yellow armor half-kneeled on the ground, and said loudly: "The eunuch has given his head, and I invite Dong Gong to look at it!"
Dong Zhuo glanced at the head of the man with wide eyes and wide eyes, sighed slightly, then helped the yellow scarf man on the ground with his own hands, and said softly, "I don't know your surname Gao, but your demeanor Zhuo Guan, you should not be an unknown person!"
"Taipingdao, my virtuous teacher, Chu Yan!" the young general Langsheng replied.
"It turned out to be Chu Feiyan, and it really deserves its reputation!" Dong Zhuo nodded, then turned to a big man and asked, "Niu Fu, how are the preparations going in Liangzhou?"
"Everything is ready, just wait for your lord to say something!"
"Where is the patriarch of Beigong?"
"My son-in-law made a trip in person, and the patriarch of Beigong said that all the Qiang people resolutely support you, and only obey your orders!"
"Good job!" Dong Zhuo's face showed an unconcealable excitement, and he asked Chu Yan again: "Where is the great virtuous teacher...?"
"Everything is ready, just wait for Dong Gong!"
"Okay!" Dong Zhuo yelled, and the gang threw the hoe in the field, and laughed loudly: "If a man can't live with five tripods, he will die with five tripods! I, Dong Zhongying, will never hoe the ground again in my life!"
As he said that, Dong Zhuo turned back and stepped on a group of maroon-red steeds, and left in a hurry under the guard of dozens of generals.
After Dong Zhuo left, hundreds of soldiers led by several Taoist priests poured into the scene to quickly clean up the traces of the fighting. After a while, there is no difference from before the war.
Immediately afterwards, a Dao cast a spell, and after a while, his figure changed, and he suddenly became another "Dong Zhuo". Then he saw this Dong Zhuo pick up the hoe on the ground, and began to dig the ground leisurely.
At the same time, another Taoist became Gao Wang, and hundreds of soldiers came out, wearing the costumes and armors of Habayashi Wei, Embroidered Messenger, and Ouchi Master, and continued to monitor "Dong Zhuo"!
Liu Hong, who was far away in Luoyang, didn't know that the surveillance he thought was foolproof turned out to be a trick to fool himself. At this moment he is having fun!
Because the Yellow Turban Army was in decline and felt that there was no fatal threat, Liu Hong's true nature was exposed again. He spent his days drinking and publicizing, and even started to sell officials and lords. The suspended draft continued to restart.
And Shang Ji, who was farther away, was also unaware of Dong Zhuo's many plans. He was currently participating in a military meeting hosted by Lu Zhi, and the topic was also very simple-how to break through Guangzong City!
After throwing the large package of captives to Shang Ji, Lu Zhi immediately set off with the army, and two days later, the army arrived at Guangzong City, the last major stronghold of the Yellow Turban Army in the north.
Guangzong City is not a big city like Quzhou. It is located in the core of Jizhou, and its prosperity is comparable to that of Sanfu. It used to be the prefecture of Julu County, and it is also a famous historical city. It is a veritable giant city, much more powerful than the parallel city of Xiangping.
And Zhang Jiao had obviously expected this scene a long time ago, so he started the expansion of Guangzong City when the Yellow Turban Army was gaining momentum in attacking the city.
Countless manpower and material resources have been invested. Although Guangzong has not yet advanced to the royal city, it is definitely the first city under the royal city, and even the defensive facilities such as the city wall have barely reached the standard of the royal city.
Even with the sharpness of the city-breaking dragon cannon, Lu Zhi did not have the confidence to break through the Guangzong city wall. After all, it was a top-level giant city, and it was completely different from a big city like Quzhou!
With millions of main troops, double the amount of cannon fodder, sufficient material reserves, and Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao personally sitting in the town, it is really a very difficult task to capture Guangzong.
