"I heard that Prime Minister wants to move the capital to Chang 'an, so I came to advise you," Zhou Bi said.
"I listened to the two of you and supported Yuan Shao. Now that he has rebelled, he is on your side!" Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard that someone had come to advise him again. He yelled at the two, "Men, drag them away and behead them!"
The warriors on both sides did not dare to hesitate. They quickly went forward and dragged the two away from Dong Zhuo.
"Pass down the order. We will move the capital tomorrow," Dong Zhuo said loudly, still feeling unsatisfied.
"We are short of money and grain. There are many rich families in Luoyang, but none of them are officials. However, if we kill Yuan Shao's faction and plunder their wealth, we will definitely get a lot of money, "Li Ru suggested after Dong Zhuo calmed down.
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo immediately gathered five thousand soldiers and searched the rich families in Luoyang. There were thousands of them, and they had banners on their backs with the words "Rebels" written on them. Regardless of the reason, they were pushed out of the city to be beheaded and their wealth confiscated.
Li Jue and Guo Si then drove the million people of Luoyang to Chang 'an. Every commoner was in a group, and the soldiers were in a group. They dragged and detained each other. Countless people died in the ravines. At the same time, they ordered the soldiers to rape people's wives and daughters and steal their food. The cries shook the heavens and earth. Those who were late were chased by three thousand soldiers with white blades and killed on the way.
In order to cut off the path of retreat for the officials, Dong Zhuo ordered the various factions to set fire to the houses of the people and burn down the temples and palaces. The flames of the north and south palaces connected. The Changle Palace was completely scorched.
He also committed evil deeds. He dug up the tombs of the late emperor and concubines and took their treasures. The soldiers took advantage of the situation to dig up the tombs of the officials and commoners. After that, Dong Zhuo loaded thousands of carriages with gold, pearls, satin, and other treasures. He then headed for Chang 'an.
"The fire has finally started," Sei Itō said in a low voice as he jumped into the red and yellow sky of Luoyang.
Then, his figure flashed and disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared in the burning city of Luoyang. He looked around and locked onto the south of the destroyed palace. He moved over in a flash.
"It should be here," Sei Itō muttered to himself as he reappeared and looked at the stone well that was spewing out multicolored light.
Then he walked to the edge of the well and looked down. Not long after, a female corpse appeared in front of his eyes.
Sei Itō, who knew that this woman must be the Treasure Trove Girl, did not hesitate. He immediately changed his mind and pulled the woman's corpse out of the well.
Although it had been soaked in water for a long time, the corpse did not float or rot. Under the illumination of the fire, the female corpse floated in front of Sei Itō, wearing an undamaged palace dress and a brocade pouch.
Sei Itō stretched out his hand and grabbed the embroidered pouch hanging on the female corpse's neck. He opened it, revealing a small scarlet box locked with a golden lock.
For Sei Itō, this small lock was not a problem. With a flick of his finger, the entire golden lock suddenly shattered and lost its function. Then Sei Itō opened the lid of the box, revealing the item inside. It was a square imperial jade seal with a golden horn. It was four inches in diameter and was engraved with five intertwining dragons. At the bottom of the seal was engraved with eight characters: "By the Mandate of Heaven, Eternal Prosperity."
This item was none other than the Imperial Jade Seal of the Kingdom, the Jade Seal of He Clan!
Sei Itō looked at it with his Spiritual Eye. The surface of the seal was steaming with clouds, faintly forming the image of a soaring dragon. It circled around the seal and emitted waves of dragon roars that shook the heavens.
"Done," Sei Itō chuckled and put the Imperial Jade Seal back into the box.
Then Sei Itō waved his hand and collected the female corpse, burying it deep in the Rubik's Cube world. Then, he used the Teleportation Technique again and left. He moved in the direction of Xingyang.
A moment later, Sei Itō appeared in the sky above Xingyang. Then, with a thought, a huge iron-clad airship, similar to the hydrogen airships of later generations, appeared in the air. Hundreds of elite warriors stood neatly inside the airship.
"Your Majesty," the soldiers saluted in unison.
"Rise," Sei Itō said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers stood up straight with a whoosh.
"Activate the illusion array and hide!" Sei Itō ordered again.
The next moment, the space outside the airship trembled slightly, and the whole airship quickly disappeared in the air like a mirage. The starry sky was connected, but not the slightest trace was left behind.
Then, about six or eight hours later, it was late at night. A group of civilians and soldiers mixed together. Inside, cries and shouts rang out incessantly. In the middle, a mighty convoy of carriages connected to various colors appeared on the official road from Luoyang to Xingyang.
It was Dong Zhuo's convoy!
At the same time, a group of people left Xingyang City and took the initiative to meet Dong Zhuo's army.
According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the current Governor of Xingyang was the General Xu Rong who defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian in the history of the Three Kingdoms!
Xu Rong came to Dong Zhuo's carriage, dismounted, and bowed. "Rong greets the Prime Minister."
Seeing Xu Rong, Li Ru rolled his eyes and said, "The Prime Minister has just abandoned Luoyang to guard against pursuers. Xu Rong can ambush the troops at the edge of the mountain outside Xingyang City. If there are pursuers, he can let them go; after defeating them, he can intercept and kill them. That way, they won't dare to pursue. "
Dong Zhuo, who had always trusted Li Ru, did not hesitate to act according to the plan. He called for General Niu Ji and ordered him to lead the Xiliang army to the rear.
According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu should have taken on this task, but now that Lu Bu was gone, the Bing Province Army was temporarily leaderless and could not be used. Dong Zhuo, who was good at military affairs, knew it would be inappropriate to give this important task to the Bing Province Cavalry, so he had to find his trusted general Niu Ji to take over the task.
Niu Ji accepted the order and led the troops to the rear.
Just as they were moving, Cao Cao's army caught up.
"Just as Li Ru expected!" Niu Ji, who was wearing shining armor and a pointed helmet and holding a flowery axe, laughed. He then ordered his troops to spread out and block in front of Cao Cao.
"Traitor! Kidnapping the Emperor and exiling the people, where are you going? "Seeing the army formation, Cao Cao immediately stopped the infantry and scolded angrily.
"Traitor coward, how dare you speak nonsense!" Niu Ji scolded.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo thought highly of Cao Cao and gave him an official position. Cao Cao, on the other hand, killed Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a blade. Thus, Niu Ji's scolding of him being a traitor coward was not wrong.
Seeing his brother being insulted, how could the hot-tempered Xiahou Dun let it go? He immediately charged toward Niu Ji.
However, although Niu Ji was not famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his martial arts were not bad in the Xiliang army. He was only below Lu Bu and Hua Xiong. He was even better than Li Jue and Guo Si. Compared to Xiahou Dun, he was not someone Xiahou Dun could take down easily. Hence, Niu Ji tangled up with him and started a battle with him.
However, after a few rounds, Li Jue led another army over from the left.
Cao Cao panicked. He quickly ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead the troops over. However, at this very moment, shouts rose up from the right. It was Guo Si. Cao Cao did not dare to be slow and ordered Cao Ren to head up.
The three-pronged army was unstoppable.
Not long later. Only to see Xiahou Dun, who was fighting with Niu Ji, lose due to carelessness. When Niu Ji saw the situation, he immediately led the Xiliang cavalry to charge at Cao Cao's troops.
The Cao troops were mostly infantry, so how could they be a match for the charging cavalry? Pretty much instantly, they were defeated. The army was in a mess, and the soldiers panicked as they ran all over the place.
Cao Cao, who knew that he had lost this battle, did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren to return to the formation and left Xingyang.
When they arrived at a desolate mountain, they were ready to gather the remaining soldiers and cook. Shouts and killing shouts rose up from all around. … It was Xu Rong's ambush. The soldiers roared as they charged at the Cao army.
Cao Cao panicked when he saw the situation. He did not care where he was going and immediately rode his horse to escape. Unfortunately, it was not the right time to meet Xu Rong who was charging over. Cao Cao was shocked. He did not dare to hesitate and turned his horse to escape.
Xu Rong laughed coldly as he took out his bow and arrow. He stretched out his arm and pulled the bow into a full moon. Then, with a "Xiu" sound, an arrow accurately pierced into the arm of Cao Cao who was running away in a panic.
"Ah!" Cao Cao couldn't bear the pain and cried out.
However, Cao Cao knew that he could not stay any longer. Cao Cao then rode his horse out. Not long after, when he passed by a hill, two Xiliang soldiers who were hiding in the grass jumped out and stabbed Cao Cao's horse with their spears. The horse whined as Cao Cao fell to the ground. The two soldiers then stepped forward and took Cao Cao down.
However, at this moment, a thunderous sound was heard. Two lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck the two soldiers, burning them into charred corpses.
"The heavens did not kill me!" Cao Cao said happily.
"Wrong. It should be me who did not kill you." However, before he could finish his sentence, a very familiar voice rang in Cao Cao's ears.
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly as he looked in the direction of the voice.
In an instant, Sei Itō, who was floating in the air like an immortal, appeared in Cao Cao's eyes. Then, the light in the sky changed, and a strange-looking ship that the humans of this era could not understand suddenly appeared in the sky. A door opened on the ship, and from it, armored soldiers wrapped in a pale white light flew out.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Although Cao Cao had the heart of a hero, his knowledge was limited by the era. Therefore, when he saw this strange equipment that was far beyond the era, he was filled with fear.
"I prefer you to call me God or Immortal," Sei Itō said calmly. Then, he turned his head and looked at the battlefield not far away.
All of a sudden, the battlefield fell silent. All of the officers stared at the giant warship that appeared in the sky with their mouths agape. There were even some devout people who directly knelt down and begged for mercy. Then, without any resistance, they were knocked to the ground and captured by the hundreds of armored soldiers descending from the sky.
Of course, there were also some reckless people who did not believe in heresy, such as the simple-minded Cao Hong, the bad-tempered Xiahou Dun, the shrewd Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, and the strong-willed Xu Rong. But they were in the minority after all. How could they be a match for the large number of soldiers of the Da Hua Dynasty who were well-trained and equipped with exquisite armor? After a few rounds, they were all captured on the ground and became prisoners.
"Immortal? Are there really immortals in this world?" Cao Cao smiled bitterly.
"Of course." Sei Itō stepped on the void as if he was stepping on invisible stairs. He looked at Cao Cao and said calmly.
"Sir, how do you plan to deal with me?" In the end, Cao Cao was someone who had seen the world. His heart was extremely firm. After the initial shock, he understood his position. His tone was respectful but not humble at all as he asked.
"I want to change the world. Mengde, are you willing to help me?" Sei Itō looked straight into Cao Cao's eyes and asked.
"I am a Han official. In this life, I should be loyal to the Han. Forgive me for not being able to comply, "Cao Cao replied sternly.
At this time, Cao Cao was not a traitor. He was just a young man who wanted to save the country, serve the country, and strive to be a bandit general in the future. Therefore, his answer was very straightforward.
"Are you not afraid that I will kill you?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and said.
"Where the Dao is, even if there are thousands of people, I will go," Cao Cao said calmly.
"Very well, I will fulfill your wish," Sei Itō said.
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly. However, he did not beg for mercy. He closed his eyes and raised his head, looking like he was waiting for death.
In the next moment, Cao Cao felt pain in his neck and lost consciousness.
"Am I dead … I am really unwilling," Cao Cao said in his heart before he lost consciousness.
"Milord!"
"A 'Man!"
At the same time, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan angrily shouted with anxious faces.
"Take him away," Sei Itō ordered the soldiers.
"Yes." The soldiers replied. Immediately, two people came to Sei Itō's side, grabbed Cao Cao, and dragged him to the side.
"Are you willing to surrender?" At this moment, Sei Itō turned his head to look at Xu Rong, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan.
Xu Rong turned his head to the side and didn't say a word. He didn't seem to want to cooperate. Cao Ren harrumphed hatefully as a reply. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun looked at each other and did not say anything. Only Cao Hong boldly cursed. "Thief, you want your Grandpa Cao to surrender? In your dreams!"
After saying this, he spat at Sei Itō as if he was still angry.
"Hmph." Seeing this, Sei Itō could not be bothered to say anything more. With a cold harrumph, he released his Psychic Energy. Like a tidal wave, it surged toward all of the Xiliang and Cao soldiers present, using his powerful Psychic Energy to forcefully change their minds.
These people were already shocked by the god-like means displayed by Ito Sei's army, and their hearts were already shaken. Therefore, it was easy for Ito Sei to plant a seed of loyalty in their hearts, making these Xiliang elites and Gunzhou militia his subordinates.
A moment later, Sei Itō withdrew his Psychic Energy. "Greetings, Milord!" The soldiers who had awoken from their hypnosis prostrated on the ground and called out in unison.
The voices of tens of thousands of people were as heavy as thunder, echoing in the night sky, their voices spreading far and wide.
"Xu Rong, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan!" Sei Itō called out again.
"This general is here," the five replied in unison.
"Take all the soldiers and follow me in pursuit of Dong Zhuo's army," Sei Itō ordered.
"Yes!"
