Chapter 164
Yuan Shao had already woven a profound chess game in his mind. Dong Zhuo's escape into the dust of Chang'an did not reduce his ambition, but instead inspired his ambition to dominate Guandong. The raging fire in Luoyang City not only swallowed up the past glory, but also dimmed the aura of the Han royal family. The little emperor became a candle in the wind, and his existence or not was almost nothing in terms of the general trend of the world.
Now, the throne of the emperor is nothing more than a shaky flag, which has lost its real weight. The relatives of the Han Dynasty are like weeds growing everywhere in spring, lush and messy. Yuan Shao thought to himself that he only needed to pick a chess piece that was easy to control and declare it as the true dragon emperor. Who in the world would dare not obey?
And the jade seal that symbolizes the imperial power had long been lost in the troubled times and became an unsolvable mystery. In this way, the boundary between the true and false emperors lies only in the contest between people's hearts and power.
Yuan Shao raised a meaningful smile. He knew that in this chaotic world, whoever has a louder voice and stronger power will be able to write the chapter of history and define what is true and what is false.
As long as he can divide the east and west with Dong Zhuo, and everyone lives their own life, it won't take a few years for him to deal with all the people around him.
At that time, after reorganizing the army, he will lead the soldiers to conquer the west again. At that time, the world will belong to them named Yuan.
"Forget it, if you don't want to go together, Cao will not force you. I will go on this journey with Ziyi!" Cao Cao's voice was mixed with a subtle chill, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces, as if he could see through the subtle and selfish calculations in everyone's heart.
As the night deepened, although he felt helpless and disappointed, he also knew that walking alone on the road showed the true nature of a hero.
So, Cao Cao resolutely led his elite troops and took the lead in embarking on the journey. His back stretched out in the moonlight, looking particularly lonely and determined.
After confirming that the movements of the various armies in Bingzhou were correct, Liu Yao secretly calculated in his heart and immediately stood side by side with Gongsun Zan, his eyes flashing with deep concern for the friendly army and determination to fight side by side.
"Brother Bogui, you and I will set off immediately and must catch up with Brother Mengde to work together for a great cause!" As they spoke, the figures of the two turned into two meteors, chasing the wind and the moon, and rushed towards the direction where Cao Cao left.
Dong Zhuo's journey to move the capital was like a long thorny road stained with blood, and every step was stepped on the scars of history.
Hundreds of thousands of Xiliang cavalry, like dark clouds covering the sun, slowly moved forward with a vast torrent of people. At Dong Zhuo's command, his generals turned into cruel executioners. Along the way, any hesitation or resistance that violated the military order was responded to with a ruthless sharp blade, leaving a land of mourning and bones exposed.
The air was filled with strong blood and despair, and this breath seemed to have a body, attracting the most greedy hunters in the wilderness - wolves. They wandered in front of this unexpected feast, with greed and madness flashing in their green eyes, following behind this desperate march, waiting for every life that could be easily obtained.
When the night fell, it was the time when the wolves were rampant. They were no longer afraid of the fire and noise of humans. Instead, they took advantage of the cover of night to quietly invade the refugees, tearing innocent flesh, and turning this land into a real purgatory. The cries, shouts and roars of wild beasts intertwined together, forming the most sad symphony of this era.
And this is the troubled times. The road to success of every hero is paved with the bones of the people.
In today's world, Dong Zhuo is like a flower blooming in spring, with overwhelming power. He is surrounded by thousands of elite cavalrymen from Xiliang. Wherever his hooves go, they sweep away everything in their path. These warriors are not only the sharp blades for his conquest of the world, but also the most solid backing for his political schemes.
Hundreds of carriages stretch behind him, loaded with endless wealth and treasures, like a flowing gold mountain, flashing an alluring light, showing his brilliant achievements in plundering the four directions. The hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are strictly disciplined and have high morale, enough to shake the mountains and rivers and rewrite the world pattern.
The land of Guanzhong is solid on all sides and has a dangerous terrain. It has been a resource for emperors since ancient times. Dong Zhuo secretly calculated in his heart that he only needed to lightly close the gates of Hangu and Wuguan to divide the world into two, and he could sit in Guanzhong, be free and at ease, and achieve a hegemony.
As for the little emperor, in Dong Zhuo's eyes, he is now just a chess piece that is about to fade and has lost its original value. Dong Zhuo's ambition is no longer satisfied with just holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. His eyes have quietly turned to the supreme dragon throne, thinking in his heart that maybe one day he can also embark on the thorny road to the throne.
His plan,Just like the ancient Qin Shihuang unified the world, he swept across the world with a thunderous force, sweeping across the world, and finally unified this chaotic world. But this time, the brushstrokes of history will be written by him, Dong Zhuo. In this magnificent era, he vowed to leave his own bold and colorful strokes.
Then, he can rebuild an empire!
Just when Dong Zhuo was daydreaming, Li Ru suddenly galloped over on his horse, looking very worried.
Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo smiled leisurely, his eyes flashing with a cunning light that saw through the world, and slowly said:
"You worry too much. Although our army seems to be moving slowly, it is actually taking every step carefully and seeking victory in a steady manner. In Luoyang City, I have laid many baits, all of which are the shadows of power and wealth that those princes dream of."
"Once they step into that prosperous place, they will be like ants chasing after stench, killing each other, and have no time to care about other things. How can they easily abandon the feast in front of them and chase us?"
"Grand Tutor, the Guandong coalition still has a monster like Liu Yao. This person will definitely lead the troops to chase us, and we have to be on guard!"
Li Ru gently shook the feather fan, and his words revealed a deep insight into the current situation.
"Besides, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, although he failed to assassinate the Grand Master in the past, has shown his extraordinary courage and deep scheming. He has both lofty ambitions and the nature of a wolf and a tiger. He will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely come together to plan great things."
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly, with a complex smile on his lips, which not only recognized Cao Cao's ability, but also showed contempt for his behavior.
"Cao Mengde is indeed a hero of the time. If it weren't for the blessing of fate, I would have almost fallen into his hands during the assassination. Such people should not be underestimated."
"Liu Yao, I don't need to say much. Gongsun Zan has a good personal relationship with him. He will definitely follow Liu Yao. These three people are together, and we must be prepared in advance."
Dong Zhuo nodded in approval.
"You are right. Let's order Lu Bu to lead 50,000 cavalrymen to guard the rear. If they dare to chase us, we will surely kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor."
"Yes!"
