Three Kingdoms

Cui Hou tossed and turned last night and stayed awake all night.

No one can guarantee anyone's future, and Cui Hou also knows this. It has to be said that what Fei Qian said is indeed very attractive, and he was a little excited after listening to it. If everything goes well, the Cui family will indeed become famous all over the world with this behavior. Not only the merchants, but even the nobles may bow their hands respectfully and say "admiration" to someone from the Cui family...

But there is indeed a risk, not only to use the power of the Cui family on the ground in Luoyang, but also to call in branches outside Luoyang. It can be said that it is equivalent to betting all the power of the Cui family.

Of course this is what it should be.

Such an important matter cannot be half-hearted and each has its own thoughts. If you are not united, how can you achieve great things?

It's just that the bet seems a bit heavier. Although Fei Qian said that it seems to be about 60% sure now, 60% is still slightly lower. If it can be more secure...

When Cui Hou thought of this, he shook his head again and denied his idea. The greater the profit, the greater the risk. If he was 100% sure, who would come to him?

The sky is getting brighter, and it's time to adjust the morning and dusk. Although Cui Hou's father can't speak very clearly now, his mind is still very clear. It's better to listen to his opinion on this matter...

×××××××××

Let’s let go of Cui Hou who is having a hard time making a choice. Now in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo’s anger is like pouring a ladle of oil on a raging fire!

With a "pound" sound, Dong Zhuo slammed the information in his hand on the table. His blood-red eyes exuded a violent aura. The waiters and maids inside and outside the hall were so frightened that they wanted to get into the ground immediately...

After all, these days, twenty or thirty people have been executed for provoking Dong Zhuo, and many of them were killed with sticks in court. Nowadays, these waiters and maids serving Dong Zhuo breathe a sigh of relief every night when they can finally rest - they have survived another day...

Li Ru stared at Dong Zhuo when he saw Dong Zhuo's blood-red eyes. Although he had a suspicion in his mind, his heart also skipped a beat. Now Dong Zhuo was in a high position, holding the power of life and death, and his prestige was growing. In addition, during this period of time, he was constantly drinking and eating in Luoyang. The figure is getting bigger and bigger, which really gives people a very terrible sense of oppression...

"My lord, please relax. Although this incident is unexpected, it is also somewhat unexpected!"

Dong Zhuo said bitterly: "I don't blame you! I hate these bold and reckless people! They actually kill important officials of the imperial court! Where is the national law like this?!"

It turned out that the imperial court sent a team of envoys composed of Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yinxiu, Zhijinwu Hu Muban, general master craftsman Wu Xiu, and Yueqi school captain Wang Gui to carry the edict to Guandong, because the Yuan family of jujube Both of his sons were not there, so they divided into two groups. One group went to Ye County, Jizhou to look for Yuan Shao, and the other group included Shaofu Yinxiu and General. Master craftsman Wu Xiu and two others went to Nanyang to look for Yuan Shu...

Dahonglu Han Rong was from the Yingchuan Han family, the same clan as Han Fu, the current Jizhou shepherd; Zhijinwu Hu Muban was also a famous person, ranked among the "eight chefs" during the party's imprisonment, and was also the brother-in-law of Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County; Yue Riding School Lieutenant Wang Gui was from Dongjun, Yanzhou; therefore, it was appropriate for the three of them to look north.

Yin Xiu was a native of Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and once served as the prefect of Yingchuan County. During this period, he was responsible for promoting talents and talents. He promoted Zhang Zhongfangzheng to the five sense organs, Zhongyao the meritorious officer, Xunyu the chief bookkeeper, Zhang Li the chief bookkeeper, and Duyou the thief Cao. , Xiaolian Xunyou, and Ji Li Guo Tu were the officials, and they were responsible for the Guang Dynasty; and Wu Xiu, the general and great craftsman, was also from Yingchuan, so these two people naturally went south.

Although the arrangements are reasonable, the results are equally tragic.

Dahonglu, Han Rong, Zhijinwu Hu Muban, and Yueqi school captain Wang Gui, who were heading north, were intercepted by Wang Kuang when they reached Hanoi. They did not even reach Ye County and were directly thrown into prison. Except for Dahonglu. Because Han Rong was older and more famous, Wang Kuang couldn't even take action against him. The remaining Zhijin Wu Hu Mu Ban and Yue Qi Xiao Lieutenant Wang Gui were executed by Hebei Prefect Wang Kuang...

It is said that on the day when Wang Kuang executed his brother-in-law, Zhijinwu Hu Muban, he went to his sister's home, hugged Hu Muban's two sons and cried bitterly - of course, after crying, he killed him anyway.

In Nanyang, Yuan Shu was not bad at all. He reported a bandit's rebellion, so the miserable Shaofu Yin Xiu and the general Wu Xiu were killed in the rebellion...

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the Yuan family actually made their choices after weighing the pros and cons. If they stop fighting because of an imperial edict, what will happen to the Guandong nobles who rely on the Yuan family?

Just like King You of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period used beacon fire to order the princes, the Yuan family also lit up the beacon fire this time. If they cannot get the benefits they deserve, how can they satisfy the Kanto nobles who came to see the Yuan family's beacon fire?

However, the second son of the Yuan family did not want to bear the responsibility of violating the imperial decree, so they unanimously chose to let his men handle the matter. However, Sun Jian was more clever and used the name of a bandit; while Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, I was more unlucky to meet Han Rong, a big Honglu. If I killed Han Rong directly, it would be difficult to face Jizhou Mu Han Fu. Therefore, I had to imprison Han Rong without killing Dahonglu and ask Jizhou Mu Han Fu. Han Fu expressed his goodwill, but on the other hand, he cruelly killed his brother-in-law Zhijinwu and Hu Muban to express his loyalty to Yuan Shao...

However, this is tantamount to the most direct provocation to Dong Zhuo!

If there was still a glimmer of hope for reconciliation before, now Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the Yuan family have raised their butcher knives at the envoy, which means that it is no longer possible for the Kanto gentry represented by the Yuan family to coexist with the Kansai rich represented by Dong Zhuo. .

It can be said that the two exiled sons of the Yuan family used the blood of others to write an undying letter of war to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, and they clearly stated that they would never listen to Dong Zhuo's control. attitude towards any orders from the imperial court.

The clouds of war finally shrouded the sky over Luoyang City...

Dong Zhuo sneered "haha", and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious, and he said to Li Ru: "Can you not accept this great gift from Guandong? Wenyou, please go and see off King Hongnong!"

"Ming Gong, this..." Li Ru was shocked. Didn't he already tell Dong Zhuo that Liu Bian still has some uses, so he shouldn't take action for the time being?

Why did Dong Zhuo suddenly change his mind? Li Ru couldn't help but hesitate. After all, if Liu Bian was killed at this time, many subsequent methods would be useless!

"The rats from Guandong can kill people, so why can't I kill them?" Dong Zhuo stared at his blood-red eyes, stood up slowly, raised his head high, gritted his teeth, and said with the flesh on his face jumping, "How dare you, rats? If you kill the minister, I can kill the emperor! Wenyou, let me ask you, should you go, or should I go?"
