The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 95: Grand Master Zhou Gong
"Your Majesty, do you really think I can become a sage like the Duke of Zhou?"

Playing ritual music, dancing Liuyi, reciting "Broken Axe"...

Who else could receive such courtesy during the entire Han Dynasty?

Compared to this etiquette that was obviously prepared sincerely by the emperor, things like not bowing when entering the court, not naming when praising or worshipping, wearing sword and shoes when entering the palace... these are all far inferior!

For the first time in his lifetime, Dong Zhuo felt what it meant to be "legitimate" and what it meant to be "admired by everyone."

"Your Majesty, I, Dong Zhuo, pay my respects to the Emperor! May your Majesty be well and healthy!"

After greeting Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo did not receive a reply from Liu Xie.

"What is this Grand Master doing? You have returned from the battles with great merit and hard work, why do you still need to perform such empty formalities?"

In front of countless soldiers, Liu Xie personally walked out of the camp and shook Dong Zhuo's slightly round hands in full view of everyone.

"Now that the Grand Master is back, I feel at ease."

"His Majesty!"

Time spans thousands of years.

In the past, right here in Guanzhong, right beside the Wei River, perhaps King Cheng of Zhou welcomed Duke Zhou returning from the battle in this way.

Dong Zhuo could not hide his inner turmoil: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette!"

It is hard to imagine that Dong Zhuo would actually say something like "ignorant of etiquette". He was obviously too excited and didn't know what to say.

If I say thank you, it would be too polite.

But if he just let Liu Xie pull his hand in like this, even with Dong Zhuo's character, he would feel that this honor was too much.

"I have already said that the Grand Master does not need to care about these empty formalities in front of me."

Liu Xie held Dong Zhuo's hand tightly and refused to let go, leading him into the military camp, causing everyone in the camp to sigh with emotion.

"Such harmony between the monarch and his subjects is probably something that only happens between the saintly kings and great sages in ancient books!"

Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo exchanged a few casual pleasantries. Dong Zhuo asked about the situation of the people in Meiwu, and his words did not hide his concern and preference for Dong Bai at all.

Liu Xie asked about the specific situation of the war in Hedong.

Although the outcome of the battle was already known, some details were ultimately known only to the commander-in-chief Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's narration was indeed more vivid than that of the previous officer.

Especially the part where Lu Bu killed Yu Furuo in battle, Liu Xie was so excited that he cheered again and again!
"Kill the Chanyu in battle! Fengxian really has the ability to defend Huo!"

What's more, even Wei Huo had never killed the Huns' Chanyu!

Although the Huns of the pre-Han Dynasty and the Huns of the post-Han Dynasty were not on the same level... and might not even be the same species, but he was still a dignified Huns Chanyu, wasn't he?
This kind of victory is enough to be used to worship at the Temple of Emperor Gaozu and to show off to Emperor Gaozu!

Liu Xie once again praised: "After this battle, Fengxian must be rewarded!"

Dong Zhuo was in high spirits at the moment, and he also responded: "My son is so brave, he deserves a reward!"

Lu Bu's face turned red, he was both nervous and excited.

When Liu Xie saw Lu Bu like this, he suddenly felt something was wrong!
Fortunately, Lu Bu had not completely lost his mind. He still looked at Liu Xie in advance to see if Liu Xie agreed.

However, when he saw Liu Xie shaking his head slightly, although Lu Bu was puzzled, he still swallowed the reward he wanted most.

"Protecting our country is our duty! I dare not ask for a reward!"

"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay!"

Lu Bu's submissive attitude made Dong Zhuo even more satisfied.

"But meritorious service must be rewarded! Does Fengxian want the world to say that your Majesty and I are unclear about rewards and punishments?"

"Children don't dare."

"In that case, then wait patiently for your reward!" When will the rewards be bestowed upon you?
Naturally, it is time to completely calm down this incident!
The most important person in this incident is in Huaili County opposite everyone!

"Your Majesty, have you confirmed that the old thief Wang Yun is in the city?"

"nature!"

If Wang Yun was not in the city, how could Han Sui flee here?
If Wang Yun was not in the city, how could the Huaili city gate be closed now?

"I have already ordered the ferry crossings and passes to be blocked. Wang Yun will not be able to escape this time!"

"Then what are you waiting for, Your Majesty?"

Dong Zhuo's tyranny still surged up——

"Even if the city gates are closed, how many defenders can there be in the city?"

"Now our army has thousands of soldiers and horses, and we can capture this city even if we storm it!"

Huaili County is not a well-fortified fortress like Meiwu, so it is easy to attack the city by force.

The troops Liu Xie had just now were indeed not enough, but now with the addition of Dong Zhuo's troops, they can completely capture the city and completely peel off the last layer of Wang Yun's turtle shell!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."

It was not necessary for the emperor Liu Xie to personally take part in such a trivial matter as attacking a city.

Even Dong Zhuo didn't want to take over, and directly sent Lu Bu to break into the city and capture people.

With Lu Bu's strength, plus the support of famous generals such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, wouldn't it be easy to capture the small Huaili City?

The emperor and his minister are already ready. They will interrogate Wang Yun, the eternal sinner who almost destroyed the Han Dynasty, in the tent outside the city!
Lu Bu took the order and left, but came back a moment later with a grim face.

"Your Majesty, Grand Master, I dare not attack the city!"

?

This is a rare thing.

Lu Bu was a fierce general who dared to rush into the enemy's central army and kill the main general. Is there any city in the world that he dared not attack?
"Does Fengxian dislike the stench of the gold juice?"

Liu Xiehe laughed, but seeing that Lu Bu didn't seem to be joking, he frowned and walked out of the tent.

Looking towards Huaili County, Liu Xie's pupils suddenly shrank!
He finally understood why Lu Bu said that he "dared not" attack the city.

It’s not “dare not”, but “can’t”!
I saw that the walls of Huaili city were densely packed with civilians with their hands and feet tied!

Behind them, a group of soldiers holding sharp blades were constantly forcing them to move towards the city wall. Many of them even had half of their bodies hanging in the air outside the city.

"Everyone outside, listen up!"

Suddenly there was a voice shouting.

"I am Han Sui, the general of Hezhong! This time, I invaded Chang'an only because I was deceived by Wang Yun and others. I have no intention of defying the imperial court!"

"Now I have nowhere to go, but I can still perish together with you!"

"If you forcefully attack the city, I will throw all these people down to their deaths!"

"If you let me go, I promise that I will never invade Guanzhong again in my life, and I will forever guard the border for the court and protect the peace of Longyou!"

Han Sui pointed to the Wei River and said, "I swear by the Wei River! What I said is absolutely true!"

"If Your Majesty or the Grand Master also swears by the Wei River and guarantees to spare my life, I will open the city gates right now and offer Huaili and Wang Yun to you!"

……

Han Sui actually wanted to use the people of Huaili to threaten the imperial court!
Moreover, he actually wanted Liu Xie or Dong Zhuo to swear by the Wei River!

Who the hell is he that dares to threaten the imperial court like this?
Did he really think that the civilians on the city wall alone could keep him safe?
　The previous chapter was a bit short, so I’ll add another chapter.
