Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was a city with a population of one million, and it was bustling with people coming and going.

But this is because this is the economic, cultural and political center of the Han Dynasty.

This is the place that all the people of the Han Dynasty flock to.

However, as Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and took control of the court, the people of Luoyang felt that the sky in Luoyang had darkened.

The Xiliang army was everywhere, like bandits, wreaking havoc in the streets of Luoyang and looting again and again.

Aristocratic families and powerful clans also felt a huge sense of crisis.

On the one hand, the Xiliang army, relying on its large numbers, bullied them.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo arbitrarily wielded the knife against the aristocratic families.

It can be said that with Dong Zhuo’s entry into Luoyang, everyone in Luoyang, from the nobles to the ordinary people, felt that the sky of Luoyang had lost its color.

Therefore, when Ding Yuan sent Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao cut off one of Dong Zhuo’s arms, the people and noble families of Luoyang were all delighted. It was a pity that they did not succeed in killing Dong Zhuo.

However, as Cao Cao took the lead in raising the banner of rebellion, other princes from all over the country responded to the news, and the people of Luoyang became excited.

This excitement reached its peak when the You and Bing Li families issued a manifesto, saying that the Li family’s men would lead an army of 150,000 to help the princes gather together to fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo. The people of Luoyang were excited.

On the streets of Luoyang.

Peddlers and hawkers gathered in groups of three or five, talking excitedly.

“Did you know that the Li family will also bring 150,000 troops to help suppress the princes’ gathering?”

“Li family? Is it General Li’s Li family? Can General Li lead the army to fight against Dong Zhuo?” As a vendor’s voice fell, four or five men around were shocked, and a young vendor asked in surprise.

“No, General Li is still in poor health and is recuperating in Jinyang. However, I heard that General Li was furious this time and specially sent General Li Li, the governor of Youzhou, to lead 150,000 troops south. General Li Li conquered half of the grasslands back then, so he is definitely very powerful!”

“General Li didn’t come!” The young merchant was a little disappointed, but then he said excitedly: “However, even if General Li didn’t come, the Li family sent out more than 100,000 troops, and General Li Li led the army. Dong Zhuo’s death is inevitable!”

“Yes, originally all the princes in the world have responded to the alliance, and now the Li family is helping, Dong Zhuo’s good days are over!”

“Kill this traitor, the damn Xiliang army, who killed my wife and children.”

……

Wang Yun’s residence.

“Haha, great! The Li family is going to raise 150,000 soldiers to join the coalition. Dong Zhuo’s end is here, and the day of the Han Dynasty’s revival is not far away.”

In the hall, Wang Yun listened to the news from outside told by the housekeeper and said happily, “Come on, prepare a banquet and invite my friends. Let’s celebrate today, haha!”

……

Not only was Wang Yun’s residence festive, the common people on the streets of Luoyang City were all talking about it with joy on their faces, and the major aristocratic families were also gathering together.

………

“Peng~”

“Peng~”

In the hall of the general’s mansion, Dong Zhuo, who was missing an arm, smashed the object in front of him with his other arm and roared in shock and anger:

“Ding Yuan opposed us, Cao Cao cut off our arm, and now even the Li family has sent 150,000 soldiers. Do they think we are easy to bully? We have 300,000 soldiers. We are not afraid of them. Just wait for us. We are going to kill you and wipe out your entire family!”

Dong Zhuo’s roar made the generals in the hall, including Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Wei, Hu Zhen, Guo Fan, Zhang Ji, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, all shrink their heads and their faces turned pale.

Now, people all over the world are calling for their death.

Originally, they didn’t care too much about the alliance of other princes.

However, when the news came that the Li family in the north had taken action.

All the Xiliang generals were shocked.

They saw clearly that although Dong Zhuo shouted loudly and fiercely, it only showed that he was afraid.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the princes of the world, but the Li family!
Dong Zhuo was afraid, so naturally all the generals of the Xiliang Army were afraid too.

In the hall, Li Ru looked at the angry Dong Zhuo and the group of Xiliang generals who were hiding their heads, and a sigh flashed in his eyes.

He felt disappointed.

However, he also understood that the current situation was really not in their favor.

“Father-in-law, please don’t be angry. Although the Li family is doing well and all the princes are calling for an alliance, our Xiliang army may not have no chance of winning, and the Li family may not really be that powerful!”

Facing the angry and roaring Dong Zhuo and the timid and cowardly Xiliang generals, Li Ru stood up, bowed to Dong Zhuo and spoke in a deep voice.

“Ok?”

The hall was silent, Dong Zhuo paused, and all the cowering Xiliang generals raised their heads and looked at Li Ru, who was dressed in scholar’s clothes. (End of this chapter)
