After the blood alliance ended, Yuan Shao walked down the high platform. Everyone helped Yuan Shao into the tent and sat down. He sat on both sides according to his title and age. Cao Cao stepped forward and suggested: "Now that we have a new alliance leader, we must obey orders. Let’s work together to help the country solve its crisis, and don’t use the old calculus of seniority!”
Yuan Shao cupped his hands and said: "Although I have no talent, you all elected me as the leader of the alliance. I must be rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes. The country has relevant laws and regulations, and the army also has military disciplines. You must not violate them. !”
After hearing this, everyone obeyed the order. Yuan Shao said: "My brother Yuan Shu is here to supervise the provision of food and grass and ensure logistics for everyone. At present, I think I need one person to be the vanguard and go directly to Sishui to challenge. The others have occupied all the dangerous places. Go and respond when necessary."
In Luoyang City, the news of the alliance of princes had already reached Dong Zhuo's ears. He quickly summoned his trusted advisers and generals, and Yu Yi was naturally among them.
Dong Zhuo said: "Now that the coalition forces of the princes have arrived near Luoyang City, what should we do?"
This issue is very critical. Luoyang City is now facing the will of the entire country, so everyone is a little panicked.
Yu Yi thought to himself, this Dong Zhuo, don't you have any idea when others gather people from all over the country to attack you?
At this time, Dong Zhuo called his name and said: "Yu Yi, please come out and tell me what to do."
Naturally, Yu Yi couldn't explain what was going on, so he didn't say anything. Suddenly Dong Zhuo raised his sword, pointed at Yu Yi's neck and said, "Are you planning to cooperate with the people outside and kill me?"
Dong Zhuo's behavior surprised everyone at the scene. Yu Yi was also shocked, and quickly knelt down and said: "Dong Xiangguo has treated me with great kindness. I don't know where to listen to these slanders to frame me like this!"
"Humph, I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River." After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he called over someone. Yu Yi looked at him and found that he didn't recognize him, but he seemed to be very old.
"Yes, that's him. We attended Wang Situ's banquet that day. Situ announced the news about Yu Yi. He is the fourth brother of Liu Xuande, a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He has been exchanging letters with him. He is a secret agent lurking around the prime minister. ah!"
The man identified Yu Yi.
"How's it going? What else do you have to say?"
Dong Zhuo looked at Yu Yi with a ferocious expression on his face.
Yu Yi secretly sighed inwardly. He knew that this guy Wang Yun was harmful to others and had to announce his affairs in public. Now that he was finally exposed, how should it end?
"There must be something fishy about this matter. I don't know this person. I don't know why he hurt me like this?"
Yu Yi looked at the man and smiled.
I originally thought that Yu Yi would plead guilty, but I didn't expect that Yu Yi would not admit it. After all, there was no evidence, so Dong Zhuo had no choice for the moment.
Li Ru stood up at this time. In fact, he had always suspected Yu Yi, but there was no evidence. He said: "I think Yu Yi is very young and has never done anything to disgrace the prime minister. Now is the time to employ people, so why not?" Prime Minister, please think again!"
Yu Yi cast a grateful look at Li Ru. He knew that all of this was inseparable from his behind-the-scenes operations. He spent a lot of money on the number one man in the brothel. This Li Ru was a hero but a beauty, but he didn't care about this one. The woman couldn't put it down, and even paid a large sum of money to ransom her, and she took her home as a concubine. This woman kept whispering in Li Ru's bed and said good things about Yu Yi. Naturally, he was also affected by this.
Dong Zhuo thought about it, and it was true. After all, studying how to deal with the coalition of princes was the top priority now. Besides, Yu Yi couldn't find any evidence, so he planned not to pursue it anymore.
However, Yu Yi thought that there must be other people attending Wang Situ's banquet that day. They might also be hidden dangers. They couldn't always wait for Li Ru to intercede, but had to solve this problem fundamentally.
"Prime Minister, I think there must be an explanation for this matter. Please call Situ Wang Yun to confront him."
Yu Yi stood up and asked Dong Zhuo for instructions.
"That's fine!"
Dong Zhuo actually did not eliminate his suspicion on Yu Yi, so he sent someone to find Wang Yun.
When Wang Yun arrived at the scene, Dong Zhuo pointed at the man and immediately asked: "Situ, please see if this man attended the banquet you held. Did you announce that Yu Yi is Liu Bei's fourth brother?"
Wang Yun looked at the man, and suddenly he looked very angry, and said: "How dare you deceive the Prime Minister and frame Zhongliang like this? I didn't hold any banquet. As for Mr. Yuyi, his loyalty to the Prime Minister is evident from all over the world, how could you He is Liu Bei’s fourth brother, he clearly doesn’t even know who Liu Bei is!”
"Otherwise, in fact, he did work with Liu Bei for a period of time during the crusade against the Yellow Turban bandits. The Prime Minister should remember that the army was defeated that day. Zhang Fei originally wanted to kill the Prime Minister, but I resolutely stopped him!"
Yuyi admitted this relationship, so he cast doubt on it.
Dong Zhuo then remembered the previous incident. It turned out that this was where his doubts came from. Now that Yu Yi's explanation was reasonable and Wang Yun's statement was also very clear, he immediately ordered the man who framed Yu Yi to be dragged out and beheaded. .
Yu Yi let out a long sigh, believing that after this incident, no one would be so unwise as to report him again.
The whole focus returned to the issue of how to deal with the eighteen princes. Dong Zhuo asked Wang Yun to leave first and started the discussion again.
Li Ru did not express any opinions this time and stood behind him. Dong Zhuo called his name during this period, but he did not respond. In the end, he could only ask Yu Yi.
Yu Yi thought for a while and said: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Now that the prime minister has Lu Bu at his side, he is even more powerful. Besides, the alliance of princes has just been established. I can't guarantee whether they will be wholehearted, so it is not terrible."
Dong Zhuo felt much better after hearing this, and said, "Yu Yi was really thinking about it. I almost believed the slander and had you killed!"
"This is the Prime Minister's wisdom, and we also admire the Prime Minister's glory!" Yu Yi said modestly.
So the discussion meeting ended like this. Outside, Yu Yi found Li Ru and said, "I would also like to thank Mr. Li for speaking to me."
Li Ru smiled and said, "When we work together, we help each other."
Afterwards, Yu Yi believed that this line could not be broken, so he exchanged Wu Chenggong's money for some treasures and asked his concubine to give them to Li Ru.
On the other hand, Yu Yi went to Situ Wang Yun's home to thank him for his help this time.
Wang Yun met Yu Yi and was very dissatisfied with his suggestions at the discussion meeting. After all, he had a position. Dong Zhuo was a national traitor and should not give him advice.
Yu Yi also explained this, saying: "Wang Situ didn't know that although the alliance of princes gathered together, they each had private messages. Moreover, the Dong thief was assisted by Lu Bu, so it was unlikely that he could break it from the outside. If he couldn't, he wouldn't We can retreat to Xiliang, so we need to consider the long term."
