Chapter 12 The Death of Dong Zhuo

Although Liu Xie used the words of Xun You and Huang Fusong to temporarily hide those who opposed Dong Zhuo, some people refused to listen to persuasion and still often conspired to discuss how to assassinate Dong Zhuo.Discovered by Li Ru, he and Li Jue made dumplings for these people and their families, and took them to the prime minister's mansion and imprisoned them.

On the second day, Dong Zhuo held a grand banquet for all the officials, and at the banquet, he cut off the tongues, eyes, hands and feet of the rebels and their families.The blood flowed into rivers in the house, and the wailing and howling were endless. This bloody scene scared the ministers attending the banquet so much that their chopsticks fell to the ground, and some even squatted aside and vomited it out. Dong Zhuo still drank and ate calmly. Meat.

Lu Bu stood guard at the entrance of the banquet, with an indifferent expression on his face, he just turned his head away from the hell scene inside the room, and Dong Zhuo's subordinates who were also General Zhonglang didn't answer him when they spoke to him.The other party was making fun of himself, so he turned his head and stared at the beautiful maid who was watering the flowers not far away.

This night is destined to be unstable.According to Dong Zhuo's order, Li Jue threw the half-dead people into the mass graves and buried them alive.All civil and military officials were trembling, for fear that it would be their own turn next.

As for Liu Xie, he is making alchemy.Ever since he got this hobby, the emperor seems to have become more self-willed in the eyes of his officials, more obsessed than raising pigeons. He often stood in front of the alchemy furnace with a group of Taoist priests. I heard that even if the alchemy furnace was blown many times, he would not flinch at all.

Speaking of it, Qiuxian asked, it seemed that every prince could not pass the threshold.However, among this bunch of princes, Liu Xie started too young.

Lv Bu was a little impatient, so he found an excuse to get some wine and came to Liu Xie today, and couldn't help but ask: "Dong Zhuoyue has acted recklessly, tortured and killed the weak, when did he kill this old thief?"

Liu Xiezheng pulled the bellows himself, and didn't turn his head back after hearing the sermon: "What about after killing? Wouldn't the Xiliang army change? At that time, several commanders would wave their arms, loot wantonly in Luoyang City, and then coax them away. Is it possible now? Can Luoyang's troops stop it?"

"I have the power to block it." Lu Bu frowned.

"Be patient for a while, the news of General Huangfu is coming soon." Liu Xie comforted.

Lu Bu still looked unhappy.But Liu Xie is right, killing Dong Zhuo alone is useless, and Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min also holds the core leadership of the Liangzhou army, so he must be killed together.In addition, under Dong Min, there are six generals at the rank of General Zhonglang, namely Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Yan, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and Xu Rong, each commanding a part of the army.

Liu Xie had planned for a long time, and Xu Rong had two minds, so it is not difficult to subdue them.As for Niu Fu, Huangfu Song has to deal with it.The rest, according to Lv Bu's ability, it is not difficult to defeat them one by one, but there are three prestigious generals at the rank of lieutenant, Dong Huang, Li Jue, and Guo Si. Ji, Jia Xu, Li Meng, Wang Fang and others counterattacked.The Liangzhou army is difficult to tame and has no affiliation with Luoyang. If it is not all killed, it will be too difficult to properly settle.

In this troubled world, killing strong men is definitely the worst policy, and a large number of buried corpses can easily cause plague.But there is not much time left for him to deal with Dong Zhuo. Now that Cao Cao has returned to his hometown Chenliu, he may soon be recruiting troops with the support of the local Xiaolian. , invited the eighteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo together.Since then, the world has been in chaos, and all the heroes have risen together and fought with each other.The common people were displaced, their sons ate each other, and the population dropped sharply to one-tenth of the peak.

At some point outside the window, it was already drizzling.In the distance, the sound of Dong Zhuo's enjoyment of silk and bamboo came faintly through the rain curtain.I don't know why, but this song is very sad.At this time, Lu Bu had already resigned, and took away a piece of Liu Xie's elixir in order to deceive others.Liu Xie worked for a while, then went into the house.Looking at the rain curtain outside the window with her chin in her hands, her thoughts were heavy.

Before you know it, the Cold Food Festival is approaching.Coincidentally, Liu Xie's birthday falls on the second day of the Cold Food Festival.

Zhao Wenjun of the Luoyang Canteen discovered a new food called sake foie gras, made of tender and plump foie gras, fresh spring water, pepper and celery from the Western Regions, a unique sauce and brewed by the emperor. The sweet sake that comes out is marinated, and the taste is delicate, mellow and delicious.People who have eaten in the big canteen are full of praise. Even though the canteen charges a thousand dollars for this dish, it was still snapped up by people as soon as it was put on the shelves.

After it became very popular, an ingenious court lady made delicious foie gras fried in red wine.Smooth and not fishy, ​​a bite seems to have a delicate oil explosion between the lips and teeth, it is no less delicious than sake foie gras.

Because it was too popular, after two days, this delicious dish was taken off the shelves.It is said that because the emperor's birthday is approaching, fresh foie gras in Luoyang City is limited.In order for everyone to share in the delicious food at the emperor's birthday banquet, this dish was withdrawn.

In the early Han Dynasty, reforms were carried out on banquets, which have been passed down to this day.At the banquet, the emperor sat high above the north, the civil servants and prime ministers lined up in the east of the hall, and the princes and generals lined up in the west of the hall, facing each other.Although Dong Zhuo was arrogant and domineering, and was the only courtier who brought his sword to the banquet, he didn't dare to drive Liu Xie off and sit on it himself.He and his younger brother Dong Min sat in the first place on the west side, they didn't sit on their knees, they sat cross-legged casually, and before the banquet started, they called for "bring wine."

The liquor made by Liu Xie has always been very popular among warriors. Ever since he drank the first jug, Dong Zhuo fell in love with this spicy and sweet taste. He ordered a jug of wine in front of civil and military officials and the emperor, and drank it like no one else was there. stand up.

There are hundreds of people in the pre-employment banquet at every turn, and all civil and military officials are present. I heard that today there will be delicious "sake foie gras", "red wine foie gras" and high-quality spirits. Military generals who are usually too lazy to attend the banquet will also come Yes, the whole hall was quite noisy.

First, all the officials celebrated their birthday, Dong Zhuo looked a little impatient, drank alone, and from time to time cast a contemptuous glance at the people who knelt down to celebrate their birthday.After an hour passed, all the ministers kowtowed to the emperor for his kindness again according to the etiquette.Accompanied by the maid standing on the high steps: "The feast—"

Beautiful women dressed in fancy dress filed in and danced in the center of the banquet accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo.

Then, two teams of maids came in neatly carrying delicious food. After a long etiquette, the officials were already hungry.A long table was set up in front of each official, and the maids first brought a wave of melon and fruit wines, including honeydew plums, candied apricots, grapes from the Western Regions, pomegranates, courgettes, amber from the palace, Red wine that flows like blood, and spirits with endless aftertaste.

The maid did not stop moving, and eight cold dishes were quickly served.After that, it was the main hot dishes, and the most popular red wine foie gras and sake foie gras were brought out first.This thing is precious, so only Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo, and Dong Min got a big plate. The popular military officer of Dong Zhuo faction got half the size of a plate, while the civil servants who had been tucking their tails in the court only got half a plate. The size of a palm.Not only that, even persimmons, which are used as a side dish to relieve greasy, have a corresponding class.

I don't know why the first and second hot dishes have not been served.Everyone finished eating the delicious foie gras, even the side dish of persimmon, and the second hot dish came late when they almost licked the plate.

Fortunately, after Dong Zhuo’s urging, the subsequent dishes were served very quickly. Dishes such as roast suckling pig, sliced ​​dog meat in sauce, fried fish in black bean sauce, cured lamb, shredded chicken in peony sauce, etc. were quickly served, and No.40 was served. By the time of the five-course meal, most people are already full, and those who are leisurely and leisurely have already enjoyed watching the singing and dancing.And those who were worried that Dong Zhuo would kill another person at the banquet were trembling. After eating a few hot dishes, they didn't raise their chopsticks again, and they didn't want to sing or dance.

Lu Bu was still the same as before, he had his meal before coming, and stood not far behind Dong Zhuo as a bodyguard.

When they were full of wine and food, some generals sat in disordered positions, staring at the dancing girl and the maid playing the piano without blinking, and the smiles on their faces also showed a hint of obscenity.Liu Xie raised his glass to have fun with all the courtiers, put down the wine bottle and slapped his palms lightly, the dancers and maids sat beside the lords, and persuaded them to drink softly.

In the middle of the song is a beautiful woman with exquisite and graceful figure, wearing a white veil, walking towards Dong Zhuo.Even if he couldn't see the real face, Dong Zhuo, who had seen countless people, knew that she was definitely a peerless beauty just by looking at those eyes like autumn water.Immediately he laughed, stretched out his ape arms, and pulled her into his arms.

"Beauty, what's your name?" Dong Zhuo pulled off the beauty's veil without showing any pity.

The woman's fragrant shoulders were slightly exposed, her eyebrows were full of spring, and she said softly: "Little girl Diaochan, I have met the prime minister."

Under the veil was indeed a beautiful face with a moon and a shameful flower, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, he took Diao Chan's soft little hand, rubbed it constantly, and then half hugged her in his arms, looking like a hungry ghost in lust.

It's just that when the wine was hot, Dong Zhuo suddenly felt cramps in his stomach, he had to let go of Diao Chan for a while, and wanted to stand up.

Just when he got up, he suddenly heard Liu Xie yell: "Dong Zhuo, you have brought chaos to the court and killed you indiscriminately. Today is your day of death!"

Dong Zhuo was a little unsteady and his eyes were blurred. He saw the young emperor standing proudly holding a golden bow.He only had time to shout: "My son..." Before he could finish his words, Liu Xie hit him in the chest with an arrow, and he fell on his back.
