Chapter 1310: Duan Yu is crazy, what is he going to do! [2]

Late July.

Luoyang.

More than a month had passed since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, and the empire was calm.

After He Jin was killed, Luoyang had rarely returned to the calm before Liu Hong's death.

The Son of Heaven was young, the Empress Dowager Dong was listening to politics from behind the curtain, and the Grand Tutor and the Three Excellencies were assisting the new Emperor together, as if the Great Han was ushering in a scene of prosperity.

However, this seemingly calm capital of the empire was broken by a burst of hurried hoofbeats last night.

A message of shock was sent from west of Luoyang.

After receiving these messages sent from Hedong Commandery, countless people were sleepless last night.

For this reason, the imperial palace also sent out a message, urgently summoning the Grand Tutor and the Three Excellencies to enter the palace for discussion.

Before the sky was bright, carriages were already prepared in front of the Grand Tutor Yuan Kui's mansion and the mansions of the Three Excellencies.

The coachmen and guards drove the carriages to the Southern Palace of Luoyang in the dark.

Just as a fish-belly white appeared in the sky and the palace gates had not yet opened, Yuan Kui and the others had already arrived outside the Sima Gate.

The morning was cool, and Yuan Kui, wearing a black cloak, walked down from the carriage with a hunched body.

Zhang Wen, Ma Ridi, and Cui Lie had already walked down from their carriages.

"Grand Tutor, please accept my condolences."

"Grand Tutor, please accept my condolences."

"Grand Tutor, please accept my condolences..."

All three bowed and saluted Yuan Kui.

Condolences...

It proved that someone had died.

And it was someone from the Yuan clan.

The news sent from Hedong Commandery last night included the news of Yuan Shu's death.

Tiger-Brave General Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the next generation of the Yuan clan, was dead.

And he was tortured to death by Duan Yu himself.

It was torture, not execution.

It is said that Duan Yu used a method called "lingchi" (death by a thousand cuts) to torture Yuan Shu to death, one cut at a time.

Upon hearing this news, everyone felt extremely shocked.

The conflict between Duan Yu and Yuan Shu, and the conflict with the Yuan clan, were all known to the world.

But Duan Yu would use such a cruel method of torture to kill Yuan Shu.

This was something everyone had not expected.

The Tiger-Brave General was an official position of two thousand *dan*, and killing an imperial official of two thousand *dan* without authorization was a serious crime.

However, after understanding the cause of the incident, everyone understood why Duan Yu killed Yuan Shu and slaughtered the entire Fan and Wei clans.

However...

However, this was not the most shocking news.

The most shocking news was yet to come.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led an army of 50,000 to prepare to attack Anyi County.

Duan Yu abandoned the city and went north, just in time to meet the Baibo Army recruited by Yuan Ji.

After a great battle, Duan Yu broke the 100,000-strong Baibo Army with hundreds of cavalry and killed the Loyal State General Guo Tai, who had just been appointed by the imperial court, on the spot.

Hundreds breaking 100,000.

Although they didn't see the specific situation at the time, it felt incredible just hearing about it.

How did Duan Yu do it, breaking 100,000 with hundreds of people?

Of course, this can also be left unsaid.

More importantly.

While Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and the Baibo Army just recruited by the imperial court were all pursuing Duan Yu, a major event happened in Guanzhong.

It was also the most important major event in the intelligence sent back this time.

Just as several people were pursuing Duan Yu, guessing where Duan Yu was going.

Hangu Pass was occupied by Duan Yu's father-in-law, Dong Zhuo, and at the same time, Huayin, Chencang, and... Chang'an were also occupied.

Chang'an!

Although Chang'an was a secondary capital, it was still a capital city.

Moreover, the ancestral temples and the mausoleums of the emperors of the Great Han were all in Chang'an.

Duan Yu sent troops to occupy Chang'an and sealed off Hangu Pass.

At this time, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Yuan Ji were gathering an army of 200,000 outside Hangu Pass, waiting for the imperial court's orders.

"Grand Tutor, Duan Yu ignores the law, killed the Tiger-Brave General, slaughtered the Anyi Fan clan, and the Anyi Wei clan. Such behavior is simply lawless," Cui Lie looked at Yuan Kui and said: "He sent troops to occupy Hangu Pass and Chang'an; this clearly shows he has rebelled."

"Grand Tutor, for such a person with wolfish ambition, we must impose severe punishment and raise an army to exterminate him!"

Ma Ridi nodded to the side.

Wei Xun of the Hedong Wei clan was Cai Yong's son-in-law, although his daughter had not yet married over, the marriage had already been decided.

And Cai Yong was Ma Ridi's close friend.

Duan Yu not only killed Yuan Shu.

He also slaughtered the entire Wei clan to the ninth degree.

Such behavior was simply inhumane.

Duan Yu dared to defy the world and point his butcher knife at the noble clans because of a small matter.

Today it is the Hedong Fan clan and the Wei clan, tomorrow it could be the Hongnong Yang clan, the Henei Sima clan, the Taiyuan Wang clan...

Therefore, last night, Ma Ridi had already received many name cards from relatives and friends.

All of them were demanding that Ma Ridi, after going to court today, should demand that the Empress Dowager severely punish Duan Yu.

"Duan Yu's actions, exterminating humanity, rebelling against the imperial court, his heart deserves to be executed, his crimes deserve to be executed..." Ma Ridi frowned.

Yuan Kui, wearing a black robe, said nothing, listening to Ma Ridi and Cui Lie listing Duan Yu's crimes.

Duan Yu killing Yuan Shu, executing the Fan clan, and exterminating the Wei clan—Yuan Kui understood all of this.

But Duan Yu actually openly occupied Hangu Pass and even Chang'an.

Is this Duan Yu really going to rebel directly?

Crazy?

If Duan Yu rebels in such a crude way, in such a form, then he is a rebel.

How many people in the world would help Duan Yu and bear the stigma of being a rebel together?

Duan Yu's subordinates, Xun You and others, all came from the Yingchuan noble clans.

If Duan Yu rebels like this, then Xun You and others will definitely not stay by Duan Yu's side, but will return to Yingchuan.

His generals...

Yuan Kui was puzzled.

Finally, he reached a conclusion: unless Duan Yu was crazy.

Only then could he have made such a move. ===== CHAPTER 1312 =====
