Chapter 749: The Storyline Begins

Time flowed slowly.

While Su Li was traveling back and forth to various places, meeting wandering merchants and gathering materials for the 【Mysterious Gold Set】.

The Han imperial court in Luoyang had already begun to officially trigger the storyline.

First, Grand General He Jin and Yuan Shao, from a family of four generations of high officials, joined forces to lead troops to attack the Ten Eunuchs and execute the eunuchs.

Unfortunately, before they could succeed, they were betrayed by a mole arranged by the eunuchs, and the Regular Attendant Duan Gui and others immediately led their party to strike first, beheading Grand General He Jin before the Jiade Hall.

But fortunately, Yuan Shao had also made preparations in advance and had sent troops to surround the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

On the other side.

Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family, also from a family of four generations of high officials, was unwilling to remain silent and led troops to attack the "077" palace gates, burning the Qingsuo Gate, and the fire burned for several days.

Surrounded on all sides by Yuan Shao and others, Luoyang fell, the imperial palace was in chaos, and the surviving Ten Eunuchs, including Zhang Rang, had no choice but to abduct the Young Emperor Liu Bian and the Prince of Chen Liu, Liu Xie, and flee in a panic through the covered walkway.

Yuan Shao, his uncle Yuan Wei, and others falsely claimed to be acting under imperial decree to kill the eunuchs, killing the eunuch party members, and then lined up troops under the Zhuque Gate, surrounding and killing the eunuch Zhao Zhong and others who hadn't had time to escape.

He also ordered the palace gates to be closed, Luoyang to be sealed, and strictly prohibited entry and exit, directing troops to search for eunuchs in the palace, killing them all regardless of age, with over ten thousand dead.

Two fierce generals from Hebei brought the heads of the Ten Eunuchs to see Yuan Shao.

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you two have performed a great service. In the future, I will rely on Luoyang to make you both marquises and prime ministers."

Yuan Shao had two fierce generals as vanguards and had taken control of Luoyang a step ahead.

By the time Yuan Shu, who also wanted to control Luoyang, realized Yuan Shao's actions, it was already too late. Yuan Shao had already killed the Ten Eunuchs and controlled the situation in Luoyang.

But Yuan Shu was still on the same side as Yuan Shao at this time; he had no choice but to assist Yuan Shao in controlling Luoyang, killing all the eunuchs together, and then discuss other matters.

However, at this time, Dong Zhuo, who had always been in secret contact with the Ten Eunuchs, saw an opportunity, led his army to the western suburbs of Luoyang, and met Zhang Rang and others at the foot of Beimang Slope, capturing the Young Emperor Liu Bian and the Prince of Chen Liu, Liu Xie.

With the legitimate bloodline in hand, Dong Zhuo had inadvertently obtained the trump card to control the world's situation.

"My Lord, Wenyou believes that you should now send an elite force to quickly take Tong Pass and Hangu Pass; otherwise, if these two passes are occupied by Yuan Shao, there will be endless trouble!"

With the trump card in hand, Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's chief strategist, began to devise strategies: "At the same time, we should use the Young Emperor Liu Bian's decree to announce to the world that Yuan Shao's attack on the imperial palace is an act of insubordination, and we can announce Yuan Shao's crimes."

"And immediately execute the commander of the Northern Army's Five Schools, Cavalry General Zhang Wen, taking the opportunity to use Liu Bian's status as the Young Emperor to take over the Northern Army's Five Schools, and march east to dominate Henei and Guanzhong, competing for the world in the east."

In the early stages, Li Ru could be called the most awesome strategist in the Three Kingdoms. Not only did he occupy the high ground with the status of the Young Emperor Liu Bian, but he also made a comprehensive plan to ensure the foolproof capture of Luoyang and the balance of the world.

The reason Dong Zhuo was able to kill his way from Liangzhou so quickly was also inseparable from Li Ru. Li Ru was almost god-like in his calculations, and he naturally relied heavily on Li Ru, immediately ordering: "Li Jue, Guo Si, I order you two to lead the Flying Bear Army to quickly take Tong Pass and Hangu Pass."

"Yes!"

The Flying Bear Army was the most powerful hidden troop under Dong Zhuo, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day.

"Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, I order you two to lead the Xiliang Sudden Cavalry to drive straight into Hebei and Guanzhong, and take all the key routes."

The Xiliang Sudden Cavalry was also a special troop under Dong Zhuo that was not weak, and their combat power on the plains was among the best.

"Xu Rong, take orders; I order you to immediately execute Zhang Wen and use the Emperor's bloodline to coordinate the Northern Army's Five Schools..."

"Yes!" ===== CHAPTER 754 =====
