Gongsun Zan didn't know much about Yu Yi. He heard most of it from other places, and it was strange that Yu Yi didn't have any words and had no idea what he did before. However, considering the matter, Gongsun Zan still said something fair: "I think Yu Yi shot you with a flying knife, it was intentional, just to attract your attention and expose the Dong thief's goal."
When Gongsun Zan said this, Liu Bei suddenly realized and sighed: "I think I still blamed the fourth brother wrongly!"
Zhang Fei said: "Even so, the fourth brother has gone to Chang'an now, and he doesn't know about his safety. We should think of a way."
So the brothers sighed and returned to the camp.
In Chang'an City, Yu Yi was always with Li Ru. Although Li Ru was a little confused, he didn't express it clearly. After all, the concubine Yu Yi won over still played some role.
Suddenly someone came to report that Li Ru's plan was successful and he almost killed Cao Cao. Unfortunately, at the last moment, Xia Hou rushed out and killed Xu Rong.
Li Ru just smiled and said: "This is God's will. After Cao Cao goes back this time, his vitality will be severely damaged and he will not be able to make a comeback in the short term. When other princes see this, they will not march, so Chang'an will be at peace for the time being."
Cao Cao experienced a disastrous defeat and was indignant. News of his failure soon spread to Yuan Shao's camp. Yuan Shao held some banquets to relieve Cao Cao's boredom. During the banquet, Cao Cao still insisted on his views and hoped that everyone would mobilize all their troops. , carried out a crusade against the Dong thieves, and analyzed the current situation, saying: "We all came together because we were traitors for the country. Now we should conform to the situation of the world and eliminate the Dong thieves in one fell swoop, but everyone is hesitant now. , It really disappoints the people of the world!"
After Yuan Shao and other princes heard this, they did not express their opinions and just left the table. Cao Cao felt that the alliance was only in name, but in fact everyone had evil intentions, so he took his troops and left in the direction of Yangzhou.
Gongsun Zan also saw something. He called Liu Bei and the other three and said, "Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, has done nothing. As time goes by, there will definitely be other changes. There is no point in staying here, so we can go back separately." Bar."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Now that the alliance has broken down and everyone is working on their own, there is really no point for us to be here. Let's say goodbye!"
So the three of them bid farewell to Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei took Guan Yu and the others back to the plains of their own territory, while Zhang Fei went to explore Yuyi's situation near Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo's brutality integrated all the forces in society. With the breakdown of the alliance, this force became a piece of scattered sand.
In Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo began to carry out planned expansion plans, wasting lives and money, and making the people miserable.
Under the auspices of Dong Zhuo, everyone discussed the next step and received news that the princes were not unified in their hearts, so they had no plans to invade Chang'an City. Cao Cao had already led his troops to leave, and Sun Jian also had a big quarrel with Yuan Shao because of the jade seal. Liu Dai, the prefect of Yanzhou, wanted to borrow some grain and grass from Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, but he refused, which angered Liu Dai. Soon he exposed his true nature and attacked with his troops, killing Qiao Mao, the prefect. Then he persuaded others to surrender, and the world was in chaos.
Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo take this opportunity to start cultivating his moral character, sit back and watch the princes kill each other, and reap some benefits if there is a chance.
Liu Biao was stabbed to death in Jingzhou. His courtesy name was Jingsheng. He was a native of Gaoping, Shanyang. He was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He was known as the "Eight Heroes of Jiangxia" at that time. He had seven very close friends. He was surrounded by Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who were from Xiangyang. Cai Mao and others under his command received Yuan Shao's letter and immediately discussed it.
He mentioned at the meeting that as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, the matter of passing on the imperial seal was no small matter, and he must do something about it, so he sent Kuai Yue and Cai Mao to lead 10,000 troops to intercept Sun Jian.
Sun Jian came back from the north and wanted to return to Changsha, so Jingzhou was the place he had to pass. Suddenly he saw soldiers blocking him, so he took the lead, pointed his weapon at the opponent, and said: "Kuai Yue, we don't violate the water of the well, why do you want to Bring soldiers to block my way?"
Kuai Yue smiled and said: "Since you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, how can you hide the imperial seal in secret? I will give you a chance to keep the thing, and I will let you go!"
Sun Jian knew that this must be Yuan Shao's instigation, and regardless of the opponent's reason, he sent Huang Gai to fight. Cai Mao came to fight with a machete. After several rounds of fighting, Huang Gai hit the breastplate with an iron whip, and Cai Mao was injured. Frightened, he quickly turned back and left. Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and led his army to cover up the killing. After crossing the border, suddenly there was a shout of killing from behind, and the sound of golden drums. Seeing that Liu Biao personally led a group of sergeants to arrive, Sun Jian saluted on his horse and said, " Why should Liu Jingsheng believe Yuan Shao's words? He just wants to sow discord between us and force your neighbor?"
Liu Biao sneered and said: "You secretly hid the imperial seal. This crime is too big. I am a member of the Han Dynasty, so I can't stay out of it!"
Sun Jian replied: "If I had this thing, I would die by random swords and arrows!"
Liu Biao still refused to give up and said: "I can believe part of your oath, but you must take out the military salute and show it to me for inspection."
Liu Biao's request was a personal insult to Sun Jian. He was very angry and said: "Who do you think you are? Why do you want me to inspect my courtesy for you?"
Sun Jian took the initiative to lead his troops to attack. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao retreated quickly, and suddenly two more groups of ambush troops came out from the two mountains, trapping Sun Jian's troops in the center.
In this situation, Sun Jian could only charge and kill. Naturally, the soldiers were injured and defeated. In the end, it was thanks to three fierce generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang who fought to the death to break out. Because of this incident, Sun Jian and Liu Biao, who were close neighbors, also became friends. A big deal has been done.
Yu Yi was in Luoyang at this time, listening to the major events in the world, and felt very uneasy. Although Dong Zhuo did not do anything to him and his life was going smoothly, some of Dong Zhuo's atrocities were really heinous. Yu Yi believed that if he had been like this for a long time, If it continues, it will cause mental depression. Over time, you may have psychological problems and develop psychological abnormalities.
Yu Yi believes that Dong Zhuo's character must have been stimulated when he was a child and he has serious psychological problems.
Li Ru still didn't forget that little thing every day. However, after going to Chang'an, although he had some wealth, the infrastructure was too backward after all. Even the quality of the prostitutes in the brothels had dropped a lot, which made him less interested. .
The matter of the flying knife made Li Ru suspicious, so he confiscated the weapon. However, there was a more serious problem before Yu Yi, which was that the capital chain was broken. When he came out of Daoxiang Village, he received a large amount of money from Wu Chenggong. , many banks were also connected with Wu Chenggong, and they paid a lot of money to buy many informants and received a lot of information. However, after the capital was moved, Dong Zhuo ordered that all the money of the rich and bankers be robbed. Yu Yi did not have a lot of money for a while. Source, relying on your own salary income is a drop in the bucket.
So at this time, leaving is the only option.
