Cao Cao righteously reprimanded the heroes of Guandong, but they did not agree with him. Since the atmosphere was a little strange, Cao Cao turned to praise Yang Rui and Sun Jian, mentioning the important role they played in Luoyang.
Yang Rui did not pay much attention to Cao Cao's words, but he noticed that Yuan Shao was glaring at him as if he wanted to kill him, so he secretly paid attention to it.
"… Especially Deputy Leader Blazing Sun. Not only did he and Sun Wentai conquer Luoyang's Imperial City, but he also fought alone in Luoyang's area. It was not difficult for him to conquer the city. Most importantly, he even rescued the Young Emperor and Empress Dowager He. It was a great achievement!"
When Cao Cao said this, Yuan Shao's eyes were about to spit fire! Although Yang Rui did not understand the reason for Yuan Shao's anger, he noticed that Cao Cao's words were inappropriate.
"Mende, please wait!"
Yang Rui immediately said, "Back then, I agreed to help Wuqiong and Zhou Qiong. I did save Young Emperor and Empress Dowager He from the hands of Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo personally returned to Luoyang and sent Li Jue and two to three hundred thousand troops to chase me to Hebei. They still pursued me relentlessly. In the end, I couldn't resist them because I was outnumbered and outnumbered. The other party captured Heyang City and lost the whereabouts of Young Emperor and Empress Dowager He …"
Yang Rui and Li Ru had previously agreed that they would agree on the whereabouts of the Young Emperor, Liu Bian, and Empress Dowager He. That was what Yang Rui said. At the same time, Yang Rui also promised Li Ru that he would not let the Young Emperor and Empress Dowager He appear in public for the next ten years. As for how others guessed that Dong Zhuo dealt with the Young Emperor, Dong Zhuo did not care. It would be best if they thought that Liu Bian had been secretly murdered!
"Hmph! This is a crime for failing to protect the emperor. He should be punished severely! "
However, Yang Rui wasn't done yet. However, he was interrupted by Yuan Shao, who roared fiercely. Yang Rui was stunned by this development. He did not expect Yuan Shao to fall out with him in front of everyone!
"Yo! Did Alliance Master Yuan eat gunpowder or something? I worked hard to rescue Your Majesty out of Luoyang City. You didn't have any objections. In the end, due to the lack of soldiers, you were meticulously plotted against. When I wasn't able to protect Your Majesty, I wonder where you were drinking and making merry? "
In fact, Yang Rui had already expected that he would be accused of failing to protect the emperor. However, it was still a little difficult to punish Yang Rui for this. At most, it could be considered a failure in doing a good deed.
"Thou!"
Yuan Shao was choked by Yang Rui's words. In addition, the other vassals also tried to dissuade him. In the end, Yuan Shao could not insist on punishing Yang Rui.
"Back then, you entered the city as you pleased and disrupted my plans. How dare you raise my flag? You caused my Yuan Family's people in Luoyang to be slaughtered by Dong Zhuo? I, Yuan Shao, will definitely take revenge for this in the future! "
Although he was persuaded by everyone, Yuan Shao was still very indignant and spoke fiercely.
It was only now that Yang Rui realized that the reason Yuan Shao had been glaring at him angrily from the beginning was because of this karma! However, as the person involved, Yang Rui had not thought of this!
"Regarding the Yuan Family being slaughtered by Dong Zhuo. I, Blazing Sun, am also very angry! However, if Alliance Master Chu wants to blame this on I, Blazing Sun, then you are gravely mistaken.
Putting aside the fact that the 'Yuan' flag was only a secret signal agreed upon by Wu Qiong and Zhou Qiong. I was only carrying out the flag. Even if the Yuan Family was slaughtered, it has nothing to do with me flying your flag. As the Alliance Master of the Anti-Dong Alliance, I was a flag that was waving, so I should have thought of the consequences of doing this … "
Yang Rui wanted to give a rough explanation, but he was once again interrupted by Yuan Shao.
"You're twisting words and forcing logic! Wu Qiong and Zhou Qiong were originally spies under this Alliance Master's command, but they were exposed early because of Dong Zhuo's rash actions. If not for that, Dong Zhuo might have already been executed by me in Luoyang. How could he have escaped from Hangu Pass? There's no point in saying more. I will definitely repay you in the future! "Yuan Shao was still angry.
"Clang clang clang …"
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yang Rui could no longer hold back and kicked down the table in front of him. The Nameless Sword that could not be placed in the bag was placed on the table, but it was now in Yang Rui's hands.
"Why wait for the future? A true man is open and aboveboard. Today, I will have a decisive battle with you, Yuan Shao!" Yang Rui held the sword in his hand and turned hostile in front of everyone.
At this moment, Wu Anguo, who was behind Yang Rui, also took out his sledgehammer and was about to pounce on Yuan Shao. Ever since Wu Anguo was recommended by Cheng Yu, Yang Rui had treated him as his personal bodyguard. At this moment, Yang Rui only left Zhang Ning and Zhang Liao in the Northern Palace, while he brought Gao Shun and Wu Anguo with him.
Although Gao Shun was unmoved and still stood quietly behind Yang Rui, the deterrence he brought to everyone present was not lower than Wu Anguo's. In fact, he was even more dangerous! With these two generals by his side, Yang Rui naturally had nothing to fear.
"Alliance Masters, please don't fight among yourselves …"
"That's right. Today is a crucial moment in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Alliance Masters, please give in. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo will be laughing …"
“.....”
Seeing that the two Alliance Masters, Yuan Shao and Yang Rui, were about to shed all pretense of cordiality, the heroes of the various factions all spoke up to persuade them. The originally tense situation was slightly controlled.
"I know that I have contributed a lot in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. This can be seen just by looking at the Contribution Points of my troops. Since the beginning of the storyline, the troops under my command have accumulated more than 50 million Contribution Points. My own Contribution Points are more than 30 million Contribution Points, and my Contribution Points are more than 15 million Contribution Points. Does anyone have any objections?
Blazing Sun made this statement not to fish for fame, but to compare himself to Alliance Master Yuan Shao. I wonder how many Contribution Points you, Yuan Shao, have earned? How many Contribution Points and Contribution Points do you have? How many of Dong Zhuo's troops did you kill?!
Everyone here is a discerning person. Even if I don't say it, I'm sure you all know it in your hearts! But even so, some people still don't feel guilty. They still want to punish this and that. How shameless! "
Although everyone spoke up to persuade him, Yang Rui still ridiculed Yuan Shao. At the very least, he wanted to give Yuan Shao some face and occupy the height of public opinion!
"You! You … "
As expected, after listening to Yang Rui's sharp words, Yuan Shao was speechless. He was fuming with anger.
"Hmph! I still have to chase after Dong Zhuo's troops personally. I don't have time to play with Alliance Master Yuan, let alone drink and have fun with you. I'll take my leave now! " After Yang Rui finished speaking, he didn't give Yuan Shao a chance to defend himself or retaliate. He immediately stood up and led Gao Shun and Wu Anguo out of the hall where everyone was discussing. Several people couldn't persuade him to leave.
Before he left the hall, Yang Rui waved the nameless green sword in his hand and chopped it down at the thick pillar beside the corridor in the hall. The nameless green sword cut into the pillar diagonally and came out from the other side in an instant, as if it was cutting through cheese!
Most of the vassals in the hall only saw Yang Rui waving the green sword in his hand as he walked. They didn't see the details clearly. It wasn't until Yang Rui stepped out of the hall that the top half of the stone pillar slid down along the cut surface.
"Dong! Clang … Clang clang clang … "
After the stone pillar fell to the ground, it let out a loud sound and continued to roll for a while before coming to a stop. Before that, there was almost no warning at all!
The vassals in the hall were greatly surprised when they saw this scene. The pillars beside the corridor were made of solid stone and were extremely thick. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to cut them in half or even move them in the slightest. Moreover, ordinary swords and sabers wouldn't be able to cut them at all. At most, they would only be able to leave some scratches on them.
On the other hand, Yang Rui's attack came without any signs of life. Even when he was already out of the hall, the stone pillar suddenly fell. How could everyone not be surprised? This was especially true for Yuan Shao, who was even more shocked. This sword strike was clearly meant for him to see …
Actually, Yang Rui himself didn't expect such an effect. He was just casually swinging his sword. He didn't expect this inconspicuous three-foot green sword to be so powerful! It gave Yang Rui enough momentum!
Even if Yuan Shao didn't find fault with him, Yang Rui planned to find an excuse to leave. Now that Young Emperor Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He were in Heyin County, it was time to move them away after the heroes arrived. Previously, the heroes were east of Hulao Pass. Moving the Young Emperor and Empress Dowager He might expose themselves. Now that the heroes had entered Luoyang, it was time to move Liu Bian and his mother to Qingzhou or Dashan City.
Moreover, other than the Young Emperor and his mother, Yang Rui later obtained a large number of palace maids and lifestyle professionals from Dong Zhuo. Even Dong Zhuo's daughter, Dong Yi, had fallen into Yang Rui's hands. These people were not easy to be found by the heroes and should be moved to Dashan City as soon as possible.
Therefore, Yang Rui left Luoyang's Southern Palace and immediately gathered the soldiers stationed in the Northern Palace. Then, he rushed back to Heyin County without stopping.
Through the supervision of Yang Rui and the County Magistrate of Duyang County, the transport ships in Heyin County could now transport nearly 20,000 people at once. The first thing Yang Rui did when he returned to Heyin County was to load Young Emperor Liu Bian, Empress Dowager He, Dong Yi, and all the palace maids and lifestyle professionals onto the transport ships. He personally led more than 6,500 soldiers to follow the fleet down the river and go straight to Qingzhou.
Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Chen Lin were left behind by Yang Rui to guard Heyin County with the County Magistrate of Duyang County. Yang Rui also instructed that if they encountered any situation, they were only allowed to defend the city and were not allowed to take the initiative to attack!
