Die?
How could he kill someone?
Zhou Yang might be able to kill a chicken, but killing someone was just a dream.
Although Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were on the ground and vomited blood, Zhou Yang did not even use 10% of his strength to injure their internal organs. At most, they would need a period of rest to recover.
However, the ministers in the hall would probably not give them a chance to recuperate.
After sending Dong Zhuo and Li Ru flying with two kicks, Zhou Yang felt his blood boiling, as if he was a man. Could it be that there was a tyrannical factor hidden in his body?
However, Zhou Yang knew that this was not the time to be daydreaming.
To capture the bandits, one had to capture the ringleader first. This was a logic that Zhou Yang understood. Dong Zhuo was naturally the first target, and as for the second target, between Lü Bu and Li Ru, Zhou Yang only pondered briefly before choosing the latter.
Li Ru was the brains of the Western Liang Army, and if he was dealt with, the Western Liang Army would fall into chaos. Furthermore, Lü Bu was the top general of the Han Dynasty, and even if Zhou Yang attacked him, he would not be able to defeat him in a single move.
More importantly, he needed people to deal with the Western Liang Army. In Luoyang, there were three armies with the strongest military strength. The first was Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army, followed by Lü Bu's Bing Prefecture Army, and lastly, the Eight Western Courtyard Colonels left behind by Emperor Han Ling.
Without the corresponding strength to restrict them, the Western Liang Army would be too destructive.
"I will now confer Lü Bu as the Left General, immediately suppress all rebels, and kill anyone who resists."
"I will confer Cao Cao as the Imperial Protector, gather the Eight Western Courtyard Colonels and the Palace Guards, and suppress the Western Liang Army."
"I will confer Xun You as the Attendant, recruit all rebels, and those who surrender will not be investigated."
Zhou Yang didn't care whether Cao Cao and Xun You came or not. It was enough to keep the throne of the little emperor. As for the mess below, it was better to leave it to the capable people to clean up.
Everyone in the hall was stunned, including Lu Bu, whose face was filled with rage.
You, the Imperial Tutor, are too impressive. You just beat up the Grand Commandant Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Military Advisor Li Ru to the point of vomiting blood. Now, you conferred three high-ranking officials with salaries of at least two thousand stones.
Usually, when the Emperor conferred a high official with a salary of two thousand stones, the officials would need to discuss for a long time before they could make a decision. But now, it felt like it was not conferring a high official with a salary of two thousand stones, but a county head with a salary of four hundred stones.
After a while, everyone stared at Zhou Yang with a dumbfounded look.
"No one has accepted the decree?" Looking at the stunned officials, Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed. After all, I am also an Imperial Tutor. Didn't I just confer a few familiar official positions? He winked at the little emperor. His meaning was obvious. You should confer the titles.
"The Imperial Tutor's words are my words," Seeing Zhou Yang winking at him, Liu Bian, who was in a daze, came to his senses and said hurriedly.
"I confer Jia Xu as the Governor of Liang Province." Zhou Yang thought for a while and added another condition. If there was anyone in the Xiliang army who could turn the tide, it was probably Jia Xu. He had to stabilize this dangerous person first. Moreover, Zhou Yang also wanted to recruit him for his own use.
The officials in the hall looked at each other in silence.
"Kill! Avenge the Grand Commandant. " At this moment, the Xiliang soldiers who were guarding the gate also reacted. Under the leadership of a captain, they immediately rushed into the palace.
Zhou Yang picked up the sword from Dong Zhuo's body and silently looked at the Xiliang soldiers who were rushing into the palace. As long as they could resist this wave of attack, Liu Bian's throne could be preserved.
"Kill!" A loud roar resounded through the palace like the roar of a ferocious tiger.
No one expected that the hesitant Lü Bu would actually rush towards the Xiliang soldiers at this moment. One should know that in the current situation, the Xiliang soldiers still had a big chance to turn the tide.
The Heavenly Halberd in Lü Bu's hand danced crazily like the Grim Reaper's scythe. Under the sharp edge of the Heavenly Halberd, no one could escape death. The Xiliang soldiers who were rushing in crazily were actually blocked by Lü Bu alone outside the palace. It was really a case of one man holding the pass against ten thousand men.
Looking at Lü Bu killing people like he was chopping vegetables, Zhou Yang secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he did not take the initiative to attack Lü Bu. Looking at Lü Bu's explosive combat power, it was actually not any weaker than his.
The difference between the two was that Zhou Yang's speed was very fast, while Lü Bu's body seemed to have turned into a death zone. Anyone who was within the range of the Heavenly Halberd's attack would have to bear a thunderous strike. Within a certain range, even Zhou Yang would find it hard to block the edge of the Heavenly Halberd.
Lü Bu's betrayal immediately caused a chain reaction among the Bing Prefecture's soldiers. Under the situation where they were surrounded by enemies from all sides and without a leader, the Xiliang soldiers retreated step by step.
"Left General, send a group of soldiers to protect Cao Mengde and Xun You," Zhou Yang said to Lü Bu, who was in the midst of a frenzied massacre.
There were still thirty thousand Xiliang elite soldiers stationed in Luoyang. Outside the city, there were another fifty thousand Xiliang cavalry. If these hidden dangers were not eradicated, the danger would still exist.
Lü Bu took a deep look at Zhou Yang. With a wave of his hand, a group of Bing Prefecture's soldiers immediately appeared behind Lü Bu. They protected the two people in the crowd as they walked out of the palace.
The battle lasted for a long time. The entire Luoyang City was filled with battle cries. It was only in the afternoon that the battle lasted for a full eight to ten hours before the battle cries gradually died down.
*****
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of armor clashing resounded throughout the entire palace.
Groups of soldiers ran towards the palace, causing the entire ground to tremble slightly.
In the palace, the officials who were originally in a heated discussion instantly turned pale. A few of them were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"Your humble servant, Cao Cao, came late to rescue Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Only then did Zhou Yang see Cao Cao clearly. He was about seven feet tall and was clad in black armor that was stained with fresh blood. His sharp eyes shone brightly and he emitted a threatening aura.
"Dispense with the formalities!" Liu Bian said happily. Since Cao Cao was sent by the Imperial Tutor, his return naturally meant that the Eight Commandants of the Western Garden had been subdued. Although he was young, he knew that the outcome had been determined.
"Your humble servant, Lü Bu, greets Your Majesty. The Western Liang soldiers who rebelled have all been killed." Lü Bu bowed.
"Your humble servant, Xun You, greets Your Majesty. We have already summoned most of the Western Liang barracks outside the city." His Majesty, who looked very ordinary and even a little dull, said calmly.
… …
News of victory came one after another. The officials in the palace were all overjoyed.
Zhou Yang, who was standing at the side, also felt relieved.
Soon, the officials in the palace actively offered advice and criticized Dong Zhuo's heinous crimes. The four great heroes of quelling the rebellion, Zhou Yang, Lü Bu, Cao Cao, and Xun You, were all conferred the title of Marquis. As for what Marquis, Zhou Yang didn't care at all.
"Your Majesty, the court can be dismissed." Seeing that the sun was about to set, Zhou Yang said to the little Emperor, whose face was flushed with excitement. He didn't have the time to talk to these officials.
"Court dismissed!" The little Emperor said to the little eunuch beside him. With a sharp voice, the officials all surrounded Zhou Yang.
Looking at the officials who had gathered around him with fawning looks on their faces, Zhou Yang hurriedly left, leaving behind a group of officials who were exchanging glances with one another. However, it did not take long for some of the officials to start fawning over Lu Bu and the other two.
Dong Zhuo's painful lesson made them understand that whoever had the soldiers was the boss.
After leaving the palace, Zhou Yang directly called for the little eunuch and asked him to lead him to the mansion that the little Emperor had bestowed upon him.
"Lord Imperial Tutor, this is your mansion." The little eunuch pointed at a mansion and said.
Looking at the mansion that occupied more than half of the street, there were eight black and gold stone lions that were about one zhang tall in front of the gate, and in front of each stone lion stood a burly man who looked around vigilantly. Zhou Yang felt that he had become a nouveau riche. In the modern world, it was impossible to buy anything without several billion Hua Xia dollars.
"Greetings, Lord Imperial Tutor!" After entering the mansion, there were more than ten beautiful maids who bowed to Zhou Yang.
"Feudal society is really f * cking good!" Zhou Yang sighed, and then he got everyone to stand up and walked towards the estate. Along the way, rows upon rows of pavilions and terraces could be seen, streams gurgled and crisscrossed, and rockeries and dense forests could be seen everywhere. It was like a paradise.
"By the way, what's your name?" Zhou Yang turned to look at the little eunuch who looked excited. The little eunuch looked to be about 13 or 14 years old, and his little bird was cut. This was the tragedy of this era.
"This lowly one, Xiao Guizi." Xiao Guizi was a little excited.
Xiao Guizi? This was Lord Wei's main title.
"By the way, from now on, you will be the housekeeper of this mansion." Zhou Yang thought for a while and said. This was the second person he was familiar with in the Three Kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty.
"Thank you, Lord Imperial Tutor. Xiao Guizi will do his best." Xiao Guizi was stunned for a while, and then he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Zhou Yang waved his hand and got Xiao Guizi to stand up.
A servant ran over and said, "Lord Imperial Tutor, Lord Left General Lü, Lord Bingzhou Overseer Jia, Lord Jin Wu Cao, and Lord Xun are here to pay their respects."
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Mmm, I'll be right there."
The five of them had a deep conversation. Lü Bu and Jia Xu fiercely expressed their loyalty, while Cao Cao and Xun You vaguely expressed their loyalty.
The four of them had reached the heavens in a single step. The lowest official position was Xun You's Attendant, with a rank of 2,000 stones. From the moment Zhou Yang gave them official positions, as long as they didn't want to give up their current positions, they were destined to be tied together with Zhou Yang and become officials under the Imperial Tutor.
