Chapter 52

In the following period of time.

Gu Yi went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to date Dong Bai from time to time.

At the same time, he often received invitations from the sisters Cai Zhaoji and Cai Zhenji.

Plus the beautiful concubine Diao Chan already in the house.

Life was very fulfilling.

And Old Dong, at a certain major court meeting, also announced to all the court officials the news of the upcoming move of the capital to Chang'an.

Regarding this, the officials who had not received the news in advance were all extremely shocked!

Immediately, several pawns jumped out, attempting to test Old Dong’s attitude.

However, before their voices had even fallen.

Hua Xiong had already walked over with several Xiliang armored soldiers and took these people away.

Among the court officials, no one dared to speak out in opposition anymore.

The Emperor Liu Xie was even more frightened, his face pale.

Facing these expected reactions, Dong Zhuo just gave a disdainful smile.

For the Guandong warlords;

Dong Zhuo moving the capital was a great thing!

But for this group of Han court officials;

Dong Zhuo moving the capital meant that they would continue to live under pressure and fear, endlessly!

However, Dong Zhuo had already decided on the matter of moving the capital.

Even if the Han court officials had ten thousand unwillingness in their hearts, they could only be forced to accept this fact at this moment.

……

Dong Zhuo did not intend to deliberately hide the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an.

Therefore, this news soon reached Guandong.

All the warlords were extremely happy about this!

Especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who had suffered heavy losses before this.

After suddenly hearing the news that Dong Zhuo intended to move the capital to Chang'an, they were so happy that they didn't sleep all night.

The remaining ones such as Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Liu Dai, Han Fu, Gongsun Zan, etc., also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since the coalition army was defeated and returned.

Above the heads of all the warlords, a sharp blade that might fall at any time was hanging!

The fear that Dong Zhuo brought to them could not be described thoroughly by just a few words.

Upon learning the news that Dong Zhuo was preparing to move the capital.

All the warlords were like primary and middle school students in later generations who suddenly learned that the teacher had left the classroom for something.

The shackles on their bodies were completely opened in this instant!

Following this were the endless civil wars among the Guandong warlords!

The place where the conflict first broke out was naturally Yuzhou, which was known as the "base camp of the world’s noble families."

Sun Jian, the new Yuzhou Governor appointed by Dong Zhuo, took only one month to break through the lair of Yuzhou Inspector Kong Zhou and behead all of Kong Zhou’s family of over a hundred people!

Upon learning the news of Sun Jian’s invasion, the Yuzhou noble families were in chaos.

They hurriedly pinned their hopes on Yuan Shu, the "one-armed shrimp."

Yuzhou Inspector Kong Zhou was originally just a puppet.

Yuan Shu was the future of Yuzhou!

But…

Ever since the Guandong coalition army was defeated, Yuan Shu had aged more than ten years compared to before.

His younger brother Yuan Yin and son Yuan Yao were both captured, and their lives and deaths were still unknown.

His subordinate army lost seventy percent, and several generals died tragically.

Wave after wave of blows made Yuan Shu, the noble young master who once considered himself high and mighty, now have to tuck his tail and act like a human.

But immediately after, Sun Jian began to raise troops to attack Nanyang, and displayed his "Ye Marquis" identity appointed by the imperial court.

Nanyang was known as the largest commandery in the world.

The population of just one commandery was enough to match more than half a province.

How could Yuan Shu let go of such a rich land?

Thus, the two sides launched a fierce struggle in Nanyang.

But what was Yuan Shu’s level in leading troops to fight?

What was Sun Jian’s level in leading troops to fight?

The two were not on the same level at all.

Yuan Shu was defeated repeatedly, losing cities and land.

Sun Jian achieved several major victories in a row.

Seeing this scene, those noble families in Yuzhou and Nanyang became completely anxious!

This fellow Sun Jian was just a martial artist who only knew how to kill, and did not understand at all what it meant to cherish the children of noble families.

If Yuzhou and Nanyang were ruled by him, how could everyone have a good outcome?

Thus, this group of Yuzhou noble families and Nanyang noble families immediately transformed into wet nurses, frantically giving Yuan Shu blood transfusions and supplies.

Originally, more than half of the army under Yuan Shu had been annihilated by Sun Jian.

But with the help of this group of noble families, Yuan Shu quickly obtained a large number of fresh troops.

He also received the help of several noble family strategists who were quite resourceful.

And beautifully won a counterattack!

Sun Jian therefore lost his nephew Sun Ben and general Zu Mao.

His resentment towards the Yuzhou noble families and Nanyang noble families reached an unprecedented extreme!

How could Sun Jian, known as the "Noble Family Killer," tolerate such humiliation?

In a fit of rage, he divided his subordinate army into several branches and launched a massacre against the Yuzhou noble families and Nanyang noble families within his territory!

In just a few days, the number of small and medium-sized noble families who died at Sun Jian’s hands was no less than dozens!

For a time.

Sun Jian’s reputation among the scholars became completely foul.

Even compared to Dong Zhuo, it was even worse!

But Sun Jian at this moment had already killed until his eyes were red, so how could he care about these?

He frantically retaliated against the Yuzhou noble families and Nanyang noble families, putting on a posture of not stopping until he had slaughtered all of them!

……

At the same time.

Gu Yi and Dong Zhuo, who received the battle report from the Nanyang region, showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

What they wanted was exactly this result!

It was most appropriate to leave the two malignant tumors, the Yuzhou noble families and Nanyang noble families, to be slaughtered by Sun Jian, the noble family killer.
