After Dong Zhuo assumed power, all major affairs of the court were discussed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and all were decided by him alone. He did not go to court when he had nothing to do, and just drank and had fun every day.
Li Ru received the urgent document and came to report to Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo received the news, although he was already prepared, he was also panicked and hurriedly gathered his generals for discussion.
When all the generals arrived, Dong Zhuo asked impatiently, "Yuan Shao has actually gathered eighteen princes, and he has become the leader of the alliance. He dares to resist me, what will you do?"
After Lu Bu heard this, he stepped forward and said, "Father, don't worry. The princes outside the pass are treated like grass and grass. I would like to mention the tiger and wolf divisions, behead them all, and hang them in the capital."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, "I have my ancestors, so I can rest easy!"
Before he finished speaking, someone behind Lu Bu shouted loudly, "How can I cut a chicken with an ox's knife? I don't need to bother Marquis Wen to come in person. I will cut off the heads of all the princes, just like picking out the ears from a bag!"
Zhuo saw that he was nine feet long and was from Guanxi. His surname was Hua and his given name was Xiong.
Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this and was promoted to the rank of captain of the heroic cavalry. He mobilized 50,000 horse and infantry troops and went to Sishui Pass to meet the enemy with Li Su, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen at night.
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo's command was determined and had the old atmosphere, and his ambition was renewed.
He offered advice and said, "Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, and Shao's uncle Yuan Wei is now the Taifu. If there is a serious inconvenience caused by the internal and external cooperation, we can get rid of it first. Please ask the prime minister to lead the army and divide it up to suppress the arrests." Dong Zhuo agreed, and he must first fight against the outsiders. Anne.
Dong Zhuo: "Where are Li Cui and Guo Si?"
"exist"
Hua Xiong came in from behind and came out in response.
Dong Zhuo said casually, "I call you two to lead a thousand troops, surround the house of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, kill them all, young and old, and bring Yuan Wei's head to the flag first."
"promise"
The second general took the order and left with excitement on his face. They were the best at ransacking homes and stealing goods. They could also line their own pockets, so why not do it.
Seeing that they all had missions, Lu Bu was also looking forward to it.
Sure enough, after a while I listened to Dong Zhuo.
"My son will serve as the vanguard and lead an army of 100,000 people to Hulao Pass to set up a stronghold. I will personally lead an army of 200,000 people to fight to the death with the princes of Guandong."
One hundred thousand, yes, in line with his status, Lu Bu took the order and left with great pride.
"Luoyang is our important place in Xiliang. We must let our close people defend it, so that the lord can suppress the thieves with peace of mind," Li Ru suggested.
"Yes, in this case Luoyang will ask General Xu Rong."
Dong Zhuo ordered to the general standing in the corner.
"Xu Rong takes orders"
At the end, the general, who had no sense of presence, responded.
The arrangements were made and all the generals went down to prepare. Dong Zhuo went straight to the backyard to have sex.
Tufu's Mansion
Yuan Wei was drinking tea and chatting with Situ Wang Yun, saying that the court was all sighing, but there was nothing they could do.
After chatting for a while, Wang Yun suddenly asked, "I wonder what the current situation is like at the beginning?"
Wang Yun had been dating Yuan Shao and the others for a while and had a good relationship, so he asked.
Yuan Wei said calmly, "Now that Bohai is the head of a county, it's not bad."
"Oh, that's right. It's really gratifying to think that Ben Chu has done such a big thing, unlike us, hey."
When he heard that Yuan Shao had been appointed as the prefect, Wang Yun was delighted from the bottom of his heart.
Yuan Wei pretended to be mysterious, "Haha, these are all small things, but one thing is a big deal."
What? Wang Yun expressed confusion, of course. News spread very slowly in ancient times, and if there were no fixed channels, people might never know about it, just like Wang Yun.
I didn't know that Yuan Shao had already issued a message and ordered a crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now he was gathering for war.
While he was talking, he suddenly saw someone rushing over and whispering in Yuan Wei's ear.
After hearing this, Yuan Wei said without changing his expression, "It's my time to die now."
Ah, Wang Yun was shocked and asked curiously.
"Why do you say such unlucky things, sir?"
Yuan Wei calmly told Wang Yun everything that had happened before, and also told him the news he had just received: Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance and was leading a coalition of princes to attack Sishui Pass.
These news shocked Wang Yun for a while, and it took him a while to react, which was a mixture of joy and sorrow.
With his wisdom, he also thought that Dong Zhuo would definitely not give up, he advised.
"Master Taifu, it's better to leave Luoyang earlier to avoid harming Chi Yu."
"No need, I am in my dying years and will die. Now I am loyal to the Han Dynasty and I will die a worthy death."
Wang Yun was filled with admiration for these words, and he wished he could replace the Taifu himself. He was very impressed.
"You'd better leave quickly to avoid hurting innocent people." Yuan Wei had some matters of his own to arrange and sent Wang Yun away.
Wang Yun repeatedly tried to dissuade him, but Yuan Wei refused and had to leave.
After Wang Yun left, Yuan Wei gave a signal and saw a shadow coming out.
Yuan Wei said calmly, "Yuan Fang, have everything been arranged?"
"Master, everything has been arranged according to your instructions," the shadow replied.
"Well, very good. I have two letters here. You can send them to Benchu and Gongdao at Suizao."
Yuan Fang took the letter, put it away close to him, and advised, "Master, you should come with me through the tunnel. With the strength of our guards, we can still get out of Luoyang."
"Yuan Fang, you don't understand. Not only can I not leave now, I have to wait for Dong Zhuo to come. This is the price of our Yuan family's further rise, and it is also the responsibility that the head of the family must bear."
Yuan Wei urged Yuan Fang, "You should leave quickly to avoid a long night and many dreams."
Yuan Fang begged again, but seeing that the owner was indifferent, he had no choice but to escape from Luoyang through the tunnel and go straight to Jujube.
Wang Yun had just walked out of the Taifu's Mansion. Not long after, he saw Li Cui and Guo Si leading Xiliang soldiers and horses to surround the Taifu's Mansion.
Li Jiu led half of the troops and went straight into the main hall. Guo Bang led other men and horses to rush to the back door and entered from the backyard. Along the way, he didn't answer anyone, regardless of gender, age or child, he just killed them with one blow and carried out Dong Zhuo's orders thoroughly.
After a while, they came to Yuan Wei and saw him sitting in the yard with a calm face, as if waiting for them.
Li Ji wiped the blood on his face and said with a ferocious expression, "Old Yuan family, hand over the treasure quickly, I will leave you with a complete body."
Yuan Wei looked at him contemptuously, without saying a word, looking drowsy.
This was so arrogant, Li Ji didn't even have time to get angry. Guo Si couldn't wait and stabbed Yuan Wei several times with his bloody knife, shouting while stabbing him.
"Brother, what's the point of talking to him? Just kill him. As for the treasure, I don't believe you can't find it even if you turn the Taifu's house upside down." He stabbed it a few more times.
After a while, black blood was seen flowing out of Yuan Wei's body. It turned out that he had committed suicide by taking poison.
"Damn, it's unlucky. I originally wanted to greet this old guy properly, but I didn't expect it. Second brother, you are right. Tell the brothers to look for it for me and don't forget to bring this old guy's head to the lord."
Li Cui cursed and led his soldiers to search for treasures.
Guo Bang conveniently cut off Yuan Wei's head, let his men hold it, threw away the knife, and chased after Li Cui.
After searching for a while, they didn't find much treasure, at least not as much as brothers Li Cui and Guo Si hoped. This made the two of them very angry. In a fit of anger, they tied Yuan Wei's head to a horse's tail and pulled him on the ground. Before leaving, they set a fire and burned down the Taifu's house, which felt a little relieved.
Wang Yun witnessed all this and was gnashing his teeth with hatred, wishing to eat these two bastards alive, but he still held back in the end. However, this scene was deeply remembered by Wang Yun, and it left a foreshadowing for their future destruction.
