The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 94: Broken Axe

"Quickly send scouts to look for traces, and order the Grand Master to go to Huaili."

"And use soldiers to block all the passes and crossings to prevent Wang Yun and his men from escaping!"

Liu Xie called the officer on the other side over again and said, "You go back to Chang'an first and ask Lord Jia to prepare as follows..."

After hearing this, the colonel was a little confused, and his puzzled eyes seemed to be asking - is it really appropriate to do this?

"Go ahead and pass the order, have Wenhe prepare quickly!"

After confirming that Liu Xie was not wrong, the officer stood up and crossed the Weishui River again and returned to Chang'an.

Keep going.

After passing Wugong, Huaili is actually right in front of you.

When Liu Xie arrived at the city, he was clearly holding the emperor's dragon flag, but the city gates remained closed.

"Your Majesty, it must be Wang Yun who colluded with the local nobles to control the city gate."

Zhang Liao ordered his soldiers to approach the city gate, but as soon as they got close, arrows were shot down from the city wall, indicating that they had decided to defend to the death.

"Just a stubborn resistance!"

Liu Xie may be extremely arrogant at this moment because he has someone's support!

"Set up camps at the city gates! One for each city gate! Otherwise, if Wang Yun and Han Sui see us, they will think that I don't have enough troops!"

……

"But, Your Majesty, we don't have enough troops."

"Won't it be enough to wait for the Grand Master to come?"

Now Liu Xie obviously wanted to avenge himself for being besieged in Meiwu, so he directly ordered his soldiers to set up camps on all sides in front of Wang Yun in the city!

Wang Yun saw that camps were set up on all sides and thought it would be best if they surrendered out of fear of punishment.

If he didn't surrender and chose to charge forward... Liu Xie would definitely be grinning to the point of his mouth being crooked!
There are at most a few county soldiers in the city. How can they defeat the elite veteran soldiers around Liu Xie?

Not to mention that the city was surrounded on all sides by famous generals such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. Liu Xie wished that Wang Yun would lose his mind and rush right into them!

Now, no matter how careful Liu Xie is, he can safely say:

"The advantage lies with me!"

The actions of the Han army were indeed discovered by the defenders on the Huaili city wall, who reported it to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun was sitting in the main hall at this moment, with Han Sui, who had lost his helmet and was in a mess, sitting below him.

"Ma Teng has ruined the country!"

Even someone as resolute as Wang Yun seemed somewhat dejected at this moment.

This move by Ma Teng and Han Sui was actually a complete surprise.

Shisun Rui left without saying goodbye that day, but came to tell Wang Yun a few days later that he had persuaded Ma Teng and Han Sui to raise troops to support the king. Wang Yun was also filled with surprise!
“He who is righteous will have many helpers!”

This is what Wang Yun said to Shisun Rui at that time!
Unexpectedly, Ma Teng, who was supposed to be the killer, turned to the Han thieves and completely destroyed the good situation...

No, it’s not Ma Teng’s turn now.

It should have started when Xun You aided and abetted Zhou and discovered Xu Huang's whereabouts from clues...

No, not at this time.

It should have started when Jia Xu served as the Minister of the Chancellery and began to do practical things to win back the hearts of the people for the court.

No, not at that time either...

Wang Yun thought of many reasons until he thought of the seventh day of March.

The emperor had just recovered from a serious illness and summoned Dong Zhuo from Meiwu to the palace!
"Your Majesty!"

Once the source is found, all the mess can suddenly be straightened out.

"Your Majesty has ruined the country! Your Majesty has ruined the country!"

Wang Yun suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Han Sui who was beside him.

He originally wanted to come to Huaili to seek advice from Wang Yun, but now it seems that Wang Yun could not bear failure even more than he did!

"After all, you are just a scholar!"

Although they were both from the frontier, Han Sui was different from Dong Zhuo in that he never revered famous scholars! Seeing Wang Yun like this, he was disgusted.

"But you have to save yourself no matter what!"

Han Sui saw the military token in front of Wang Yun and took it away without caring whether Wang Yun agreed or not: "A man should not eat from five tripods when alive, but he should be honored with five tripods when dead!"

The jackal's spirit was surging, and even though Han Sui was trapped in an isolated city, he still wanted to fight to the death!
outside the city.

Liu Xie had just set up camps on all four sides, and Jia Xu also ordered people to send over the prepared things.

Before I could even take a look, another scout came to report that they had seen a large group of cavalry.

The Grand Master is back!

The mount under Dong Zhuo's crotch was not inferior to the Red Hare next to it, and it moved like a towering mountain.

When he saw the dragon flag in front of Huaili County, his legs, which were clamped around the horse's belly, loosened a little unconsciously.

"Your Majesty is really here!"

Ever since Dong Zhuo learned that Wang Yun and Xu Huang had been lying in ambush in Guanzhong, he really wanted to turn his army around and rescue him immediately.

Especially after learning that Ma Teng and Han Sui had invaded Meiwu, Dong Zhuo became even more uneasy.

In Meiwu, all those people are his family!

If Meiwu was captured by the enemy soldiers and his family was humiliated by them, Dong Zhuo would really not know what the point of living was!
Fortunately, the emperor was safe in the end and Meiwu was not destroyed!

……

Just as Dong Zhuo was rejoicing, ceremonial music suddenly sounded.

It is the music of chime bells, chime stones and drums!
Not only that, there is also the music of zither, sheng, gu and diao!

Gold! Stone! Silk! Bamboo! Gourd! Earth! Leather! Wood! All eight sounds resound together!

This is the joy of the prosperous times! How can I smell it outside this city?

Accompanied by the music, thirty-six dancers wearing long crowns made of lacquer threads, seven inches high and three inches wide, walked out slowly and started dancing in unison.

The dance of six dancers! Its status is only second to the dance of eight dancers performed by the emperor!

Dong Zhuo has lived for most of his life, what has he not seen?

But moving the Eight Musics and Six Yi to perform outside the city... he had never seen it before!
After the dancers, comes the singers!
Accompanied by ritual music, they recited the majestic words:

"You have broken my axe, and you have also broken my chisel."

"Duke Zhou marched eastward, and the four kingdoms were emperors."

"Alas for my people, they are also Confucius' generals."

"You have broken my axe and my spear."

"Duke Zhou went on an expedition to the east, and the four kingdoms were victorious."

"It is a pity for me that this is also a great virtue."

"You have broken my axe and shattered my fork."

"Duke Zhou went on an expedition to the east, and the four kingdoms were victorious."

"Alas for my people, this is also Confucius's rest."

Those bandits broke my axe and chopped me into pieces. When Duke Zhou led his army to the east, the rulers of the four kingdoms were all terrified. Duke Zhou had pity on us common people. How kind and virtuous he was!

Those bandits broke my axe and mutilated my sword. Duke Zhou led his army to the east, and the people of the four countries were deeply influenced by his teachings. Duke Zhou had pity on us common people, how kind he was!

Those bandits broke my axe and crippled my elbow. Duke Zhou led his army to the east, and the people of the four states reunited and lived in peace. Duke Zhou had pity on us common people, which was a great grace!

……

This is a poem written by the people of Zhou to praise Duke Zhou after he suppressed the rebellions of Wu Geng, Guan, Cai, Xu, Yan and other states. It is called "Broken Axe"!
Logically speaking, no one else in the world should be able to bear such an honor.

Even Dong Zhuo did not think that his achievement in defeating the Hedong coalition could be compared with Zhou Gong's achievement in pacifying the four kingdoms.

But apparently, there is still one person in this world who thinks Dong Zhuo deserves such courtesy!
Liu Xie stood under the dragon banner, listening to the music and rituals around him.

"After this battle, the ruffians in Guandong will no longer dare to covet Guanzhong!"

"Grand Master, you have protected the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Even the merits of Duke Zhou in rescuing the Shang Dynasty are probably no more than this!"
