Free Web NovelChapter 194: Meiwu Pillaging
Chang’an City.
The palace hall.
Lu Bu held Dong Zhuo’s head in one hand and the dripping blood Fangtian halberd in the other.
His eyes were as cold and merciless as a lone wolf king in the dead of night.
The remaining civil and military officials in the hall all looked at Long Chen and Lu Bu with fear.
Lu Bu looked around and then raised Dong Zhuo’s head high.
He loudly proclaimed, "I, along with General Long Chen, have been ordered to suppress the traitor Dong Zhuo. The rest of you need not worry!"
With these words, the civil and military officials around all cheered.
They had suffered under Dong Zhuo’s rule, and now that Dong Zhuo was finally dead, how could they not be happy?
At this moment, Lu Bu and Wang Yun exchanged glances, then Lu Bu shouted, "Li Ru, who assisted Dong Zhuo in his tyranny!"
"Who will go and capture this man?"
Li Su volunteered to go.
Hearing this, Long Chen’s heart also skipped a beat.
Li Ru, one of the poisonous counselors of the Three Kingdoms! He was also Dong Zhuo’s right-hand man, offering countless strategies throughout his life.
If he could have this person’s assistance, the struggle for supremacy would be much easier!
Unfortunately, after Long Chen personally killed Dong Zhuo, he had already cut off the path to surrender Li Ru.
Because Dong Zhuo was the final boss of the Xiliang Group.
And killing him had not only gained Long Chen a large amount of experience and prestige, as well as the love and respect of the people of the Han Dynasty.
But it also caused a sharp drop in the Xiliang Group’s favorability towards Long Chen, making it extremely difficult for him to recruit Xiliang soldiers and officials in the future.
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the court gate, reporting that Li Ru’s servants had taken advantage of Li Ru’s illness and bound him to present him to everyone.
Upon hearing this news, Wang Yun waved his wide sleeve fiercely and then ordered coldly, "Bring Li Ru to the market office and behead him!"
Long Chen quietly watched this scene without intervening.
However, upon seeing Li Ru, he thought of another poisonous counselor, someone even more cunning and skilled at protecting and hiding himself.
He was the number one poisonous counselor of the Three Kingdoms — Jia Xu!
Thinking of this, Long Chen’s eyes lit up, and he walked to Wang Yun’s side to inquire about this person.
Because Long Chen had mentioned this person to Wang Yun in the letter before, hoping that Wang Yun could capture him.
However, Wang Yun shook his head with a hint of apology in his reply, "Jueming, I investigated this person’s information before. He is not worth worrying about!"
"And with the matter of eliminating Dong Zhuo being the top priority, there was no need to startle the snake..."
Long Chen: ...
Seeing that Wang Yun didn’t take his words to heart, Long Chen also felt somewhat helpless.
Well, it’s no wonder Wang Yun. It’s because Jia Xu is too good at hiding his true strength.
Until the critical moment, Jia Xu would not reveal his talents and strength.
Now, the Xiliang Group was temporarily falling apart because of Dong Zhuo’s death and was not a threat.
But soon, because of Jia Xu’s tactics, they would begin to counterattack Chang’an City.
In history, it was precisely because of Jia Xu’s plan that the entire Chang’an City fell again.
Even the first fierce general couldn’t hold onto this city.
They were outsmarted by Li Jue and Guo Si.
Thinking of this, Long Chen frowned, his expression serious.
Now is not the time for celebration but for worry and fortifying defenses!
The peak of prosperity is also its weakest point.
Just like Chang’an City now.
The common people and the defenders are all intoxicated by the joy of killing the rebel Dong Zhuo.
But they did not expect the scattered Xiliang army to gather again and counterattack, plunging Chang’an City back into hell on earth.
And it’s a more terrifying and dangerous hell than before.
Others may not know, but Long Chen knows. He quickly discussed the defense of the city with Wang Yun and Lu Bu.
Only then did they not slacken in defending Chang’an City.
After dealing with these matters, the angry and resentful Wang Yun ordered Dong Zhuo’s body to be displayed publicly.
Dong Zhuo’s body was fat, and fat oil flowed all over the ground. Wang Yun ordered the soldiers guarding the body to place a fire in his navel as a lamp. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The fat flowed all over the ground...
As people passed by, they all threw stones at his head and trampled on his corpse.
The palace hall.
Emperor Liu Xie’s face was flushed at this time. After killing the villain Dong Zhuo, Emperor Xian of Han felt that he had done something again, and there was a chance to revive the Han Dynasty!
Wang Yun, as the head of civil and military officials, and Long Chen and Lu Bu, respectively, were at the head of the military officials.
Long Chen naturally wouldn’t compete with Lu Bu because of these matters. He directly gave the position of the head of the military officials to Lu Bu and took the second place himself.
This move made the proud Lu Bu even more favorable towards Long Chen.
At this moment,
Wang Yun stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, all his wealth is stored in Meiwo, hundreds of miles away."
"I hope Your Majesty will send someone to Meiwo to confiscate the possessions of this villain Dong!"
Emperor Liu Xie’s face showed a pensive expression, then he asked, "I wonder if Minister Wang has a suitable candidate in mind?"
Wang Yun continued to bow and said, "Your Majesty, I believe General Long Chen and Lord Lv Bu are the best candidates!"
Emperor Liu Xie looked down at the handsome and majestic Long Chen and the imposing Lv Bu, then nodded secretly.
Long Chen he remembered, and his impression of this person had always been excellent.
Most importantly, this person had enough strength.
If he could build a good relationship with this person, it would be beneficial for Emperor Liu Xie to reorganize the court in the future.
And Long Chen was also one of the few loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, so he could be given a higher title later on.
As for Lv Bu, Emperor Liu Xie just glanced at him and didn’t look again.
This person is nothing but a brute, with only brute force and a lust for money and women.
He even killed two adoptive fathers.
If someone offers him a high amount of treasure in the future, he might even dare to kill the current emperor.
Emperor Liu Xie had a very poor impression of Lv Bu, but now that Wang Yun had spoken, and the situation was just beginning to stabilize, many things would rely on this person in the future, so Emperor Liu Xie’s attitude towards him was also mild.
Then Emperor Liu Xie nodded and waved his hand, saying, "So be it!"
So Lv Bu and Long Chen led fifty thousand troops to Meiwo to confiscate Dong Zhuo’s property and population.
Inside Meiwo, Long Chen and even the generals behind him were shocked by the scene before them!
The luxury of this Meiwo is comparable to the palace!!
Under the golden sunlight, this spacious hall appears extremely magnificent with its golden brilliance.
The courtyard of Meiwo seems to be built with gold and silver jewels, with golden tiles, red gates, and grandeur.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu are both from humble origins. Seeing this scene before them, their eyes showed some unusual excitement.
"Lord, I’ve never seen such a luxurious mansion in my life!"
Xu Chu touched the walls built of jade stones, almost drooling.
Dian Wei also frowned, then said disdainfully, "Darn it! Why isn’t there any good food? Looks good but not tasty!"
Long Chen rolled his eyes at his words.
