When they heard that Dong Zhuo wanted to move into the capital, Zhou Xu and Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong, who had already been promoted to overseer, also ran over to persuade him. Relying on the fact that Dong Zhuo had listened to their suggestions many times, they thought themselves as Dong Zhuo's trusted aides and actively advised Dong Zhuo to reuse Huang Wan and Yang Biao, and also opposed moving to the capital's Chang'an.
However, the commanding officer of the army, Zhou Xu, and the Commander of the City Gate, Wu Qiong, would never have thought that Dong Zhuo had already placed them on the spy list. No matter how fierce the words were, she could accept Huang Wan and Yang Biao opposing his move. After all, it was their true intention, but towards Zhou Qianni and Wu Qiong, he did not have that kind of patience.
Ever since Dong Zhuo entered the Luoyang, due to Zhou Qiong and Wu Qiong's voluntary surrender, Dong Zhuo had indeed listed them as his trusted aides. All of their suggestions, Dong Zhuo had to follow their plans. For example, Han Fu was ordered to serve as Jizhou's teacher, Kong Zhou was appointed as her Arrowhead of Henan Province, Liu Dai was appointed as his hero, Yuan Shao was appointed as her representative, Bao Xin was appointed as his representative, Bao Xin was appointed as his representative, and more importantly, Zhou Qiong and Wu Qiong were strongly recommended.
But right now, most of the State County that Guan Dong had started fighting were mostly recommended by Zhou Xu and Wu Qiong. Dong Zhuo had already suspected that all of this was Zhou Que and Wu Qiong's doing, or perhaps it was Yuan Fu's doing. Now that Yuan Fu had been killed, how could he let Zhou Qian and Wu Qiong go? Before his battle with Guan Dong, he had to eliminate the hidden danger on a battle formation general like Dong Zhuo.
Zhou Qianni and Wu Qiong both advised Dong Zhuo to reuse Huang Wan and Yang Biao at this time, giving him an excuse to abandon his plans to relocate to the city. He knew that the ministers would all oppose moving to the capital, it was not enough to scare the group of courtiers not to kill people, and Zhou Xu and Wu Qiong were the most suitable candidates.
”When I first entered the imperial government, it was the two of you who advised me to help the people of the world to turn the situation around and to give priority to good people like Han Fu, Kong Zhou, Liu Dai, Bao Xin, and so on. But it had only been a few months, Han Fu, Kong Zhou, Liu Dai, Bao Xin and the rest had already plotted for something big, and tried to take Luoyang down.
”Someone had long since warned me that you two had secretly communicated with the traitors of Guan Dong, and were in fact in cahoots with them. I can't bear for you to be implicated by all the bandits of Guan Dong. Who would have thought that the two of you would change your plans and try to stop the move to the capital, helping Guan Dong to kill us. The two of you have betrayed me multiple times to me, so why would I let you down?! ”
Dong Zhuo glared fiercely at Zhou Qiong and Wu Qiong, the flames of deceit soaring to the skies. He really couldn't understand why they would still harm him after he treated them so well. Although he could immediately order for them to be killed, he still wanted to leave some time for Zhou Xu and Wu Qiong to explain himself and let him know why they were doing this.
”Hahaha …” Who do you think you are! ”It's nothing more than a stupid pig's ear. Is it even worth us to join it?” Wu Qiong saw that Dong Zhuo was furious and knew that Dong Zhuo would never let him live. She could not help but burst out laughing and said sternly: ”The reason why I recommended you as a scholar is all for the sake of this big man. Even if you kill us today, the date of your death will be near! ”
”We can tolerate what happens next, but not what. Since the two of you disregarded the righteousness of the country and secretly arranged everything in chaos, and you didn't care about relationships, treating me, Dong Zhuo, as an idiot, since you don't have any feelings for me, then why would I care about your lives? Even if I die tomorrow, I will make the two of you die a day earlier than us. ”
Dong Zhuo had killed countless people, but he had never felt such humiliation before. Zhou Qianni and Wu Qiong did not regret their actions even in the face of death, it was as if they did not put him in their hearts at all. Without further ado, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the guards to kill Zhou Qianni and Wu Qiong, as well as publicize their strength.
Seeing that and Zhou Qiong had both died, the Minister of the Court s were immediately drenched in sweat, and apologized to Dong Zhuo in violation of their hearts. They also instantly changed their minds and approved of Dong Zhuo's decision to move to the Chang'an. In the eyes of the Minister of the Court s, as Dong Zhuo's trusted aides, Zhou Qiong and Wu Qiong, could be easily killed by Dong Zhuo, not to mention the fact that they were not related to each other.
”Reporting...” Lord Commander, hussar general is anxious. ” Suddenly, herald ran over and handed a letter to Guan Yu and said in a hurry, ”Lord Commander, this is the flying eagle message from the hussar general, it has two words on it,”
Guan Yu immediately received the letter and looked at it carefully. He could not help but frown.
It turned out that Gongsun Du had bypassed the Qingzhou and crossed the ocean to return to the Liaodong. When he rushed to the Liaodong Taishang Palace excitedly to take over, he was actually summoned by the County's High Season, County Officer Sun You, and County Cao Zhong. The Liaodong County Conference had already decided to not create the position of taiwai, thus they could not accept Gongsun Du as their Liaodong Taishang.
Gongsun Du had already expected that he would not succeed in taking over the position, so he did not argue with the three of them and left the taiwai Palace immediately. But on that very night, the servants of the Gongsun Family snuck into the Xiangping City and took over taiwai Manor. They captured County's high season, County Officer's Sun You, and County Cao Zhong and quickly controlled the entire city.
Because the fresh inferior s, Urushion s, and Gaoguellian s within and around Youzhou had already been pacified, almost all of Guan Yu's and Zhang Fei's Liaodong Union s had entered the desert to deal with the fresh inferior s inside it. And the only ones left within the borders of the Liaodong were the County soldier and the County soldier.
After knowing that Gongsun Du had taken over the Liaodong, Yang Lin was extremely furious. He was angry because of the County's high season, County Officer Sun You, and County Cao Zhong's inability to defend the Liaodong, but also because he had forgotten such a formidable character like Gongsun Du. So he immediately ordered Guan Yu to send troops to chase Gongsun Du away and take him back to Liaodong City.
However, under his rage, Yang Lin made another mistake, and that was that he was a loyal fan of the Han Dynasty. Gongsun Du was the appointed taiwai of the imperial government, how could he just kick him out like that? Initially, he was already dissatisfied with Yang Lin's proposal to elect the emperor. How could he accept it if he were to ask him to chase down the officials of the imperial court?
