Chapter 143 The Halberd of Fangtian, Specially Used to Stab My Godfather! Goodbye, Daddy!
"Do these two want to die?"
"Who gave them the audacity to defy this Grand Tutor?"
Eight sedan chair bearers pulled Dong Zhuo away quickly in another direction.
However, given the weight of the sedan chair and Dong Zhuo's own body, no matter how fast the sedan chair bearers went, they could only retreat at a jogging pace.
"kill!!!"
The elite troops of Xiliang are fierce, but the Trapped Camp is even fiercer!
At the same time, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have been partners for many years and have a very high level of teamwork.
With Zhang Liao leading the remaining troops to provide cover for the Trapped Camp, Gao Shun led the Trapped Camp to break through the blockade of several thousand elite Xiliang troops and gallop towards Dong Zhuo!
Seeing that Gao Shun was about to attack, Dong Zhuo was greatly alarmed.
Just then, in a blur, he saw a lithe and powerful figure suddenly appear from another direction!
The man was dressed in beast-faced cloud-swallowing armor, wielding the "father-killing artifact" Fangtian halberd, and riding on auspicious seven-colored clouds—or rather, riding the Red Hare horse.
Like a god descending to earth, he stood not far away.
In desperation, Dong Zhuo shouted loudly:
"My son, Fengxian! Save me!!!"
Lu Bu, not far away, was searching everywhere for Dong Zhuo.
Upon suddenly hearing Dong Zhuo's "summons," Lü Bu was overjoyed!
"Father!!!"
"Fengxian!!!"
"Father!!"
"Fengxian!!"
"Die, you old thief!"
"Pfft!"
Dong Zhuo stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the halberd that had pierced his body.
"Yes! Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are both Lü Bu's men."
"With these two rebelling at the same time, who else could be the mastermind behind it besides Lü Bu?"
In his final moments, Dong Zhuo suddenly remembered these things.
"Heh heh, in the end, I've still... done someone else's dirty work..."
Dong Zhuo is dead.
His obese body tumbled out of the sedan chair.
The eight sedan chair carriers were so frightened that they fled in panic.
Lü Bu sent men to carry away Dong Zhuo's body.
Then, leading the Bingzhou wolf cavalry that slowly appeared behind them, they cooperated with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to attack the remaining few thousand elite Xiliang troops from both sides!
Li Su was naturally one of Lü Bu's men.
In fact, Meiwu had several city gates.
In the other locations, Dong Zhuo had arranged for his trusted generals from Xiliang to remain there.
Although they may not be as famous as the "Xiliang F4", they are all trustworthy members of the Xiliang faction.
If they had gone to those city gates, it would have been nothing short of a pipe dream for Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun to kill Dong Zhuo so easily.
However, Li Su conveniently brought Dong Zhuo here and had Zhang Liao and Gao Shun kill Zhao Cen, the Xiliang general who was originally stationed here, which led to the series of events that followed.
"Fengxian, this opportunity is fleeting and will not come again."
"We should quickly clear out the remaining Xiliang troops at the other gates of Meiwu, and then rush back to Chang'an to take control of the city!"
Chen Gong stepped out from behind Lü Bu and made a suggestion to him.
Lü Bu immediately adopted Chen Gong's plan and, taking advantage of the intelligence gap, launched an attack on the other gates of Meiwu.
Although the commanders guarding the other city gates realized something was wrong when they heard the shouts of battle coming from this gate.
But how could their abilities compare to those of the three fierce warriors, Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun?
soon.
The Xiliang army inside and outside Meiwu City was completely wiped out.
Carrying Dong Zhuo's body, Lü Bu led the Bingzhou army back to Chang'an.
In Chang'an, since the "F4 of Xiliang" were currently suppressing peasant uprisings in various parts of Guanzhong, there were no powerful Xiliang generals in the city.
As Lü Bu's "partner" in launching the coup, Wang Yun was now eagerly awaiting Lü Bu's return with Dong Zhuo's corpse!
……
A secluded courtyard in the north of the city
Li Ru, with a full head of silver hair and looking extremely haggard, walked in carrying two jugs of wine.
"Oh my! This is the finest Dukang wine!"
"The sun must have risen in the west today! You, Li Wenyou, such a tightwad, are actually willing to pluck a feather?"
Opposite Li Ru, a middle-aged scholar dressed in a gray robe, who looked to be in his early forties, jokingly said.
"Jia Wenhe, do you have any conscience at all?"
"How many bottles of wine have you cheated me out of over the years?"
Li Ru slapped Jia Xu on the shoulder, clearly very dissatisfied with Jia Xu's cunning behavior over the years.
"Hahaha, I'd be happy with this!"
"After all, Wenyou, you're only forty-two this year, right?"
"Look at you, with your full head of white hair and that haggard look that could kill you at any moment."
"Those who know you understand that you are worried about the future of the Xiliang Army."
"Anyone who didn't know better would probably think you'd become this inhuman and ghostly state due to excessive indulgence!"
Li Ru did not refute Jia Xu's teasing, but simply sighed deeply.
After Dong Zhuo removed him from his position as Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, he completely faded out of the core decision-making level of the Xiliang Army.
But Li Ru had spent most of his life advising Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was his father-in-law. How could he give up so easily?
Therefore, although Li Ru left the core decision-making level of the Xiliang army.
But he certainly didn't skimp on the things he needed to worry about.
On the other hand, Jia Xu on the other side is truly a heartless and thoughtless fellow!
Was Jia Xu talented?
In Li Ru's view, Jia Xu's talent surpassed his own tenfold.
Li Ru had invited Jia Xu to serve under Dong Zhuo on more than one occasion.
But Jia Xu didn't.
Instead, he merely held the title of chief clerk under Li Jue, one of the "F4 of Xiliang," and spent his days either drinking or sleeping, almost never doing any real work.
Li Ru admired Jia Xu's magnanimity.
But people's personalities and experiences are ultimately different.
Li Ru is not Jia Xu, and Jia Xu is not Li Ru.
"Come, come, this is the finest Dukang wine. If you don't want to drink it, you can give it all to me."
Seeing that Li Ru was still in a daze, Jia Xu snatched the wine pot from Li Ru's hand and poured himself a cup.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky.
Li Ru suddenly awoke with a start.
Then, the rain began to fall in a light drizzle.
Li Ru's sleeves were damp as a result.
"Oh dear, come inside with me quickly. Are you going to get soaked in the rain just to drink? You might catch a cold when you get back!"
Jia Xu pulled Li Ru by the sleeve and led him into the house.
Of course, he must have also been holding those two jugs of wine in his arms.
Wind-cold, which is what we now call the common cold.
If a fierce man like Lü Bu caught a cold, he would probably recover in a day or two.
Li Ru is now in such a grotesque state that he's caught a cold... Jia Xu is really afraid that Li Ru will cling to him!
"wrong!"
"Besides the thunder, there were other sounds outside the city."
"It sounds like... horses' hooves!"
Li Ru's brain was working at lightning speed.
All the Xiliang cavalry were taken by the Xiliang F4 to various places in Guanzhong to suppress uprisings.
The remaining cavalry in Chang'an.
There is only one.
That was... the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!
Why are the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry taking action now?
Who are they targeting?
