Zhang Wu followed the sound and saw Dong Zhuo wearing a servant's robe and hiding in the small depression between the rockery and the pond.
"I didn't expect you to be such a filial son, Fatty Dong.”
"Don't insult me with words. Take my head and ask the little emperor for credit.”
Dong Zhuo's body was covered in mud, and his robe had several holes on the sharp corners of the rockery. His skin was still bleeding from the scratches.
The family members in the courtyard all covered their faces and cried bitterly.
At the end of the road, the desolation was endless.
Li Ru sat on the ground with a deathly pale face, staring at Dong Zhuo's concubine with deep hatred in his eyes.
Zhang Wu didn't waste any more time and stabbed Dong Zhuo to death.
Whether it's a dutiful son or a hero.
After all, anyone who was born in this era had to accept the price of failure since they had participated in the struggle for power.
At the very least, Zhang Wu did not tie him up and bring him to the palace to accept the little Emperor's humiliation. Otherwise, with Liu Xie's hatred towards Dong Zhuo, who knew what he would do. Zhang Wu had already done his best.
In history, Dong Pangpang was lit up by someone after his death.
Zhang Wu didn't delay at all. He carried Dong Zhuo's head and marched straight into the Deyang Palace.
When Lu Bu had attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion, the news had already spread. At this moment, Liu Xie was sitting in the court in De Yang Hall, and the officials were anxiously circling around.
They were waiting, waiting for a result.
"Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed! Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed!"
Outside the Deyang Hall, the small official shouted loudly and stumbled into the court, kneeling on the ground."Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Ru has been captured, and the Western Liang rebels have fled out of the city like crazy.”
"Thief Dong has really been killed?"
"Good death, good death!"
"Everyone can kill such a traitor!”
"The world is finally going to settle down!”
The ministers hugged each other and cried, each expressing their joy. The Demon King who had oppressed them for many days was finally dead. It would not be long before they would continue to control the Great Han Dynasty.
The little Emperor Liu Xie's face was filled with joy. He stood up happily and said,""Great! He was given a reward of thousands of gold, and was given the title of General Fenwu and the title of Marquis Wen of Jin.”
When the small official heard this, he finally realized that he had not conveyed the news properly. He hurriedly kowtowed."Your Majesty, the person who killed Dong was not Marquis Duting, but General Zhang Wu, who was under the command of the cavalry commandant of Yanzhou.”
This was…
Liu Xie glanced at the small official. He was the emperor, and once he made a promise, he would not change it. Not only did he benefit Lu Bu, but he would also have to re-confer the title of Zhang Wu.
Liu Xie did not care about his official position. It was just that since Dong Zhuo took over the government, there was no income from the national treasury at all. He had almost emptied the last bit of money in the treasury with just a few words.
Of course, Liu Xie could also renege on the debt, but he had to weigh the weight of money and the dignity of the emperor himself.
Just as the ministers were celebrating, a fiery red figure rushed to the Deyang Palace. The red steed carried Zhang Wu and jumped over the armored soldiers outside the palace, landing in the middle of the Deyang Palace.
What followed were the flying bear cavalry.
Zhang Wu held a sharp spear in one hand and Dong Zhuo's bloody head in the other. He didn't get off his horse, but cupped his fists at Liu Xie, who was sitting on the main seat."Chen Liu and Zhang Wu have come to help the king."
This action undoubtedly angered the ministers.
Bringing a knife to meet the emperor was a serious crime.
Liu Xie had never seen such a scene before and retreated in shock.
"Man Ye, how dare you not dismount when you meet the emperor?”
"Zhang Wu! You entered the Deyang Palace with a weapon, do you want to implicate your nine clans?”
"Barbarian, retreat quickly!"
Zhang Wu did not have much respect for Liu Xie. He was not a duke, so he did not need to use righteousness to pacify the world.
Zhang Wu was used to being bossy, so how could he be wronged here? He immediately snorted and casually threw Dong Zhuo's head on the hall,"I'm here to see the emperor, what does it have to do with you? If you're not afraid of death, continue to say a few words. I just happen to want to use your heads to test if the great spear in your hands is sharp.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge Deyang Hall instantly fell silent out of fear.
If these officials were to reason with them, they could talk for three days and three nights. However, if they really showed their steel knives, they would learn to hide like turtles.
Zhang Wu looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.
They definitely knew about Lu Bu's siege on the Prime Minister's estate. With such a huge commotion, as long as they were not blind or deaf, how could they not know?
However, they just sat in the Deyang Palace Hall and waited for the news. They truly expressed the word 'rat gall' to the fullest.
To put it bluntly, which family here didn't have thousands of servants? If they had dared to do anything, Lu Bu would have destroyed the Prime Minister's estate long ago.
However, they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's infamy and didn't dare to help. Now that the dust had settled, they were putting on airs as officials. How absurd and laughable.
"Son of Heaven, I've been ordered by Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao to kill Dong. Now that my merits have been fulfilled, I'm here to ask for a reward. Although the Flying Bear Army's Commander Li Jue helped the tyrant, he was able to turn back and help me kill Dong. He should be rewarded.”
Liu Xie didn't dare to disobey and quickly said,""You deserve to be rewarded. Cao Cao was appointed as the herdsman of Yanzhou and granted the title of Marquis Qiao. Zhang Wu was granted the title of General Fenwei and Marquis of Sishui Pavilion. Li Jue is now General of the Rebellion."
Zhang Wu thought to himself that the little Emperor was still not up to the task. He had worked so hard for half a day before he managed to get a Ting Hou. However, he did not continue to force him. In any case, when Boss Cao came, he would let this pair of good friends who loved each other and killed each other ponder on their own.
"Li Jue."
"Yes."
"Come over and thank the emperor."
Li Jue had been with Dong Zhuo for a long time, so he didn't have much respect for the Emperor. Besides, he was just a general with no title, so he didn't even have to change his rank, so how could he thank the Emperor? He only cupped his hands at Liu Xie as if he was doing an errand then left the hall.
......
Outside Hangu Pass.
Cao Cao's 30,000 strong army was stationed on a plain five miles west of Hangu Pass.
In the past few days, the smoke at the critical moment had reduced again and again, and in the end, there was not even a single person left.
"My lord, I'm afraid General Ziqian's words hit the nail on the head. Dong Zhuo has been beheaded, and now is the time for the army to enter Chang 'an.”Guo Jia was restricted from drinking outside the army. He was sick and didn't have any energy.
"Fengxiao, I still can't believe that the emperor is so close to me. I only hope that Ziqian is fine.”
Guo Jia cupped his hands." I heard that the lord said that General Ziqian is the most brave in the world. He must be fine now."”
Cao Cao held the sword at his waist. Let's go!"
