第23部分(第1页)

Thus Lu Bu was baited till his bosom was near bursting with rage。 The same tactics continued for several days。 He could neither strike his enemies nor escape them。 His troops had no rest。

In the midst of these distracting maneuver; a messenger rode up in hot haste to report: 〃The capital is in imminent danger from a double attack of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji。〃

Lu Bu at once ordered a march to save the capital; which became a rout when both his opponents Li Jue and Guo Si came in pursuit。 His loss was heavy。

He soon reached Changan and found the rebels there in enormous numbers and the city quite surrounded。 Lu Bus attack had but little effect; and as his temper became more savage under defeat; many of his soldiers went over to the rebels。

He fell into deep melancholy。 Then a remnant of Dong Zhuos adherents still in the city; led by Li Meng and Wang Fang; began to lend aid to the attackers; and by and by they secretly opened the city gate and the besiegers poured in。 Lu Bu exerted himself to the utmost but could not stem the tide。 At the head of some hundred horse; he dashed over to the Black Lock Gate and called out to Wang Yun; who was on the other side。

〃The case is desperate now。 Ride with me to a place of safety!〃

Wang Yun replied; 〃If I am gifted with the holy spirit of the state; I shall succeed in restoring the tranquillity which I desire。 But if I have it not; then I offer my body a sacrifice。 I will not quail before dangers。 Send my thanks to the noble supporters beyond the Pass for their efforts; and bid them remember their country!〃

Lu Bu urged Wang Yun again and again; but Wang Yun would not leave。 Soon flames started up all over the city; and Lu Bu had to leave; abandoning his family to their fate。 He fled to seek refuge with Yuan Shu。

Li Jue; Guo Si; and his fellow leaders gave full license to their ruffians; who robbed and murdered their fill。 Many high officers perished。 Ministers Chong Fu; Lu Kui; and Zhou Huan; Imperial manders Cui Lie and Wang Qin all died in the fighting。

In time the rebels penetrated to the inner part of the Palace; and the courtiers begged the Emperor to proceed to the Gate of Pervading Peace to try to quell the rioting。

At sight of the yellow umbrella; Li Jue and Fan Chou checked their armies; and they all shouted; 〃Wan shui! Long life! O Emperor!〃

The Emperor stood by the tower and addressed them; 〃Nobles; what means it that you enter the capital in this unruly manner and without my summons?〃

The two leaders looked up and said; 〃Dong Zhuo; Your Majestys Prime Minister; has been slain by Wang Yun; and we are here to avenge him。 We are no rebels; Sire。 Let us only have Wang Yun; and we draw off our troops。〃

Wang Yun was actually among the courtiers and at the Emperors side。

Hearing this demand; Wang Yun said; 〃The plan was made for the benefit of the Throne。 But as this evil has grown therefrom; Your Majesty will not grudge losing me。 I have brought about evil; and I will go down to these rebels。〃

The Emperor was torn with sorrow and wavered。 But the faithful minister leaped from the wall; crying; 〃Wang Yun is here!〃

The two leaders drew their swords; crying; 〃For what crime was our master slain?〃

〃His crimes filled the heavens and covered the earth; no tongue can tell them。 The day he died was a day of rejoicing in the whole city as you well know;〃 said Wang Yun。

〃And if he was guilty of some crime; what had we done not to be forgiven?〃

〃Seditious rebels; why bandy words? I am ready to die。〃

And Wang Yun was slain at the foot of the tower。

Moved by the peoples sufferings;

Vexed at his princes grief;

Wang Yun passed the traitors death;

That they might find relief。

Everyone knows him a hero;

Leal to the state always:

Living he guarded the princely towers;

His soul keeps guard today。

Having done the loyal minister to death at the Emperors feet; they proceeded to exterminate also his whole family。 Everyone mourned。

Then said the ruffians to each other; 〃Having gone so far; what could be better than to make away with the Emperor and plete our scheme?〃

The traitor condoned his crime;

Rebellion ought to cease;

But his licentious followers

Disturb the empires peace。

The fate of the Emperor will be disclosed in the next chapter。

【修真】男人就是鼎炉

前世黑莲花白蓁被人在车上动了手脚车祸去世,穿越成了合欢宗女修白千羽,开启了和前世开后宫没什么不同的修仙之路。这篇算是某某宗女修炼手札的同人,但是是否玩游戏对看文没啥影响,文不会收费,大家放心追,女主是自设的无心海王型号。挂是挂了修真的名头,其实本文没有着重写女主初期修炼,主要还是着重她成为女王之后的故事。全文分三部分,第一二部分女主一边双修一边把以前给她使绊子的人给除了,手段稍微有点粗暴残忍,结果奇奇怪怪自称系统的东西出现了,告诉她,她已成为了这条世界线的主人,同时她设计把自己也拱成了修真大陆的无冕之王。第三部分开幕,无冕之王并不是这么好当的,一边要均衡各大势力,挑对自己有用的掌握在手里,一边要处理情人们的修罗场。。。。偶尔,系统还会给她出难题,让她暴打外来入侵者。然而白蓁(千羽)对此表示,挺好玩的,再来点。本文可能微微有点女尊倾向,女主床上小淫娃,床下真女王,没心没肺,快乐加倍。有疑似正宫,但是基本不会出现1v1的情况,女主这么强,配一个男的太亏了(啥?)。预警,女主从目前的伦理道德来讲,确实是渣女,而且吸溜子也没想洗。...
