Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 96 The old man is surrounded by ghosts?Dong Zhuo was dumbfounded! 【Seek the first order】

At the moment in Luoyang city.

Wang Yun was sitting in the study, looking at the white cloth in his palm with a black face.

There seemed to be a look of confusion on his face.

After having breakfast today, he did some activities in the yard before coming to the study to deal with official duties.

As a result, as soon as he sat in front of the table, he saw this strip of cloth under the bamboo slips.

The above content directly shocked him.

"I failed to assassinate Dong. I have fled Luoyang. I hope Situ will take care of me. I will see you later!"

He only arranged for one person to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and that was Cao Cao, so it is self-evident who sent this cloth note.

Wang Yun didn't expect Cao Cao to move so quickly.

And life is so big.

After assassinating Dong Zhuo, he survived successfully and escaped from Luoyang City.

This is absolutely impossible.

Unfortunately, the assassination failed.

And I can't slip away like Cao Cao, so I can only continue to serve as Situ in this city.

The risk comes up at once!
After all, Dong Zhuo was assassinated, and he must have been very angry afterwards, and he would post wanted notices everywhere to arrest Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao had not been caught, then everything would be fine, his identity could be kept secret, and he would not be implicated by Dong Zhuo's stalking.

But what if Cao Cao is captured?
In case this guy is a bad-mouthed person, he will be tortured and recruited for everything.

Including myself, all the old ministers who conspired in a secret room at the beginning will become Dong Zhuo's dead souls.

"Pooh!"

Wang Yun couldn't help but spit.

You said that Cao Mengde was so passionate that he went to assassinate Dong Zhuo without hesitation.

It's okay if you succeed.

If you fail, you will sacrifice directly!

As a result, it is now half dead, leaving a huge hidden danger outside, and it is not known when it will explode.

If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have made any assassination plan in the first place. Is Dong Zhuo so easy to assassinate?
Just when Wang Yun was panicking.

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open.

Then a servant walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, I have checked several places. The Cao family's mansion has been emptied, and there is not even a housekeeper."

"Besides, when I arrived, I saw a group of soldiers knocking on the door. They seemed to want to see if there was anyone else in the mansion."

"At the same time, I heard that the upper east gate of the inner city and the outer gates along the line were closed for more than an hour today, no one is allowed to approach, and at the same time, troops are entering and leaving from there."

Wang Yun was more certain of a fact.

What is written on the cloth is true!

This kid Cao Cao was also considered astute, he arranged for his family to leave in advance, and there was no one left, and the team of soldiers was sent by Dong Zhuo to seal up the Cao family.

After today's assassination, he was lucky enough to escape from Dong Zhuo's side. He probably left from the upper east gate, so Dong Zhuo wanted to seal it off and at the same time send a large army to arrest him along the way.

Everything is connected!

Wang Yun felt that his deduction was completely correct.

But the more so, the more dangerous he is.

Without saying a word, he quickly put the cloth on the candle and lit it, burning it into a ball of black ashes.

Then he told his servants: "Don't go out in the next few days, and hide in the mansion for a few days. No matter who asks, you have to say that you haven't gone out today, and you haven't asked about any city gates or Cao Cao. home business."

Wang Yun made up his mind to hide.

Cut off all contact with Cao Cao.

What Cao Mengde?
How unfamiliar with him!
As for the seven-star sword and the like, I'm sorry, it's just a rumor, my family never had this thing, it's a family heirloom of Cao Cao's family!

…………

And at the same time that Wang Yun was panicking.

Dong Zhuo, who was located in the North Palace, was also listening to the reports of his soldiers, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes calm, obviously his mood fluctuated a lot.

"You mean Cao's house has been empty, the entire gate is closed, and there is not even a guard at the house?"

The half-kneeling general below hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"The subordinates took a group of people to Cao's house to have a look. All the gates and small doors were sealed. After listening carefully, it was quiet inside, and there was no movement at all. It didn't seem like someone was living inside."

"Dong Gong, you said that you must not be rude or trespass, so the subordinates just looked around and did not dare to push the door to break in."

"But according to what we found according to the clues, the servants who were originally helping Cao's family said that except for those who voluntarily stayed in Luoyang, everyone else left together."

He waved his hand to signal the general to retreat.

Dong Zhuo leaned on the throne.

The whole person frowned even deeper.

"Everyone goes to the empty building, and there is no one left."

"Could it be that Cao Zixiu took all his relatives and servants away with the idea that after leaving Luoyang, he would never return?"

Dong Zhuo couldn't be blamed for being suspicious.

After all, Cao Ang had such an idea.

What he did was too obvious, a little superficial, so Dong Zhuo would inevitably have doubts after hearing the news.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo's eyes began to flash a dangerous light, it seemed that he was about to make some kind of decision that was not good for Cao Ang.

Standing by his side all the time, Li Ru, who was silent, spoke.

"Duke Ming, I have a different opinion on this matter, so maybe Cao Ang has another reason."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo looked at the chief counselor under him.

There was a look of searching in his eyes.

He still trusts Li Ru very much. After all, he is his top think tank. If Li Ru didn't advise him on many decisions, Dong Zhuo might not be able to make many decisions.

What's more, there has never been any friendship between Li Ru and Cao Ang, and they may not have spoken a word.

In this way, Li Ru's analysis is more worth listening to, it is very credible.

See Dong Zhuo looking at himself.

Li Ru first cupped his hands.

Then he said eloquently: "Cao Ang's subordinates have never had contact with him, and they don't know much about him, but you once said it, Mr. Ming."

"The plan to blackmail Yuan Shao was proposed by this person. He also explained to you the harm of letting Yuan Shao go. I wonder if what I said was wrong?"

Dong Zhuo nodded.

He did tell Li Ru about it.

And it was only when Li Ru was also sure that the matter was beneficial and not harmful, that he resolutely decided to carry it out.

"There is such a thing, so what?"

"So Cao Ang's move is already tantamount to cutting himself off from Yuan Shao's camp. He is dragging Yuan Shao into the pit of fire. If I were Yuan Benchu, I would definitely not spare him!"

"If the world is divided into two camps, one is Ming Gong and the other is against you, then Cao Ang will only have one camp left to choose from."

"So in the eyes of his subordinates, he won't be so stupid as to never come back, that's not to please both sides."

Justified.

Dong Zhuo thought so.

Doubt is gone.

The dangerous aura that had been brewing disappeared at this moment, and a smile appeared on his tense face at this moment.

"Thanks to Wen You who helped me explain my confusion, otherwise I would almost have wronged Zixiu."

"It's just that since he didn't want to leave forever, why did he take everyone away and leave no one in the house?"

A strange color flashed in Li Ru's eyes.

Then he bowed and answered.

"Perhaps he is afraid!"

Dong Zhuo was stunned
……

"Fear?"

"What is he afraid of?"

Dong Zhuo was a little confused by Li Ru's endless words.

Being squeezed by the flesh on his face, his eyes became smaller and smaller, full of great doubts.

But Li Ru still bowed.

He said in a flat tone: "I don't know exactly who the subordinate is, but I have a guess that it has something to do with the recent chaos inside and outside Luoyang City."

"According to the reports received by my subordinates, the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou Headquarters under Duke Ming's command have been wreaking havoc inside and outside Luoyang City recently."

"Looting people's houses, robbing women's daughters, destroying houses, burning and looting, and even killing people in the street, these things happen from time to time."

"It's just because you are a direct descendant of your subordinates, so no one in Luoyang dares to take care of it. Even your subordinates are not very good at stopping this matter."

Having said that, Li Ru paused for a while.

Looking up at Dong Zhuo's increasingly dark complexion, he felt a little relaxed.

Willing to listen, and being annoyed by it, proves that there is salvation.

Not corrupted to the point of not listening to anything.

The reason why he stood up today to rescue Cao Ang.

One of the purposes is of course to keep his partner. If Dong Zhuo overturns in the future, Li Ru will have to rely on Cao Ang to escape.

Another purpose is to alert Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo must be made to realize that such indulgence and reckless behavior in Luoyang City will lead to the gradual loss of control of the situation, and even pay the price.

It is definitely not enough to speak out and persuade, but it will make Dong Zhuo think that he is interfering with the army and is suspected of crossing the line. This is absolutely irrelevant.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to use Cao Ang as an example.

……

"go on!"

When Li Ru's thoughts were a little erratic, Dong Zhuo's cold voice came over.

He hurriedly continued to speak.

"Cao Ang himself is a capable person, and he is a little less favored with you, Minggong. If others are in Luoyang City, then naturally there is nothing to worry about. No one dares to offend people in his house."

"But now he has left Luoyang, leaving such a big mansion there, in case those red-eyed bastards rush into Cao's house one day."

"It's okay for no one to say, it's nothing more than searching for some worthless things, but if there are people, those who stay in the mansion will suffer."

"The subordinates guessed that it was because of this that Cao Ang took away all the servants who were willing to leave with him. After all, he had been serving for many years, so he couldn't afford to take such a risk."

Li Ru finished speaking.

There was a sudden silence in the whole hall.

Only the sound of Dong Zhuo's heavy breathing was heard, and his huge body was also trembling endlessly.

A sinister aura erupted spontaneously from Dong Zhuo's body, obviously he was completely outraged at the moment.

Rather than anger, it would be more accurate to say embarrassment, Dong Zhuo felt that he had lost face.

Although he and Cao Ang are in a trading relationship.

But everyone cooperates fairly and takes what they need.

It's also quite a match.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo did absorb Cao Ang into his camp, and even had the idea of ​​marrying his granddaughter Dong Bai to him as his wife.

As a result, Cao Ang was worried and took away all the population of the Cao family because of the chaos in the city caused by his direct descendants.

It's like pointing at Dong Zhuo's nose and saying, I can't trust Luoyang City controlled by Dong Zhongying, nor can I trust those bastards under your hands.

Isn't that hitting him in the face?
Dong Zhuo couldn't stand this no matter what!
In fact, Dong Zhuo knew a thing or two about the rebellion of the soldiers under his command, but he didn't take it to heart.

At first, I felt that there was no need to worry about it, and the ones who were robbed were not some important officials in the court, but just some civilian leaders. Can these people turn the world upside down?
Secondly, he felt that indulging soldiers to do such outrageous things can also vent their emotions, which is conducive to improving the morale of the army and enhancing the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

But now it's such a fuss.

Obviously it doesn't matter.

His face is above all else.

So looking at Li Ru who was standing below and waiting, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and ordered in a loud voice.

"check!"

"Check it out for me!"

"Which people in the army and horses of the headquarters have acted recklessly these days, and what kind of bad deeds they have committed, let me check them out one by one."

"After being found out, deal with it according to military law!"

"Wenyou, I entrust this matter to you!"

A look of joy flashed across Li Ru's face with his head down.

If Dong Gong can keep this state.

If you can listen to other people's advice and are willing to make changes, why not worry about your success?

He hurriedly bowed to the end again.

Say hello to Dong Zhuo.

Just when he turned around and was about to leave to deal with the matter according to Dong Zhuo's order.

Another order sounded in my ears.

"Send someone to seal the Cao mansion, leave a few people there to guard, no one is allowed to enter, and anyone who dares to violate the order and trespass will be severely punished by military law!"

"That kid went to Bohai to do errands for me. I can't wait for him to come back. The house has become a mess."

"Then why don't you lose your temper with me?"

…………

For these things that happened in Luoyang City.

Cao Ang didn't know.

Still leading the army, follow the direction of Beiman Mountain and go northeast.

The first to arrive was Ping County, which is the closest to Luoyang City. The whole army rested here for an hour, and sent people to the county town to buy some food, leaving a very sufficient proof of presence.

After crossing the county seat of Pingxian County, Cao Ang immediately ordered to change direction, and the army decisively turned to the southeast side.

It's just that for the next part of the journey, you can't stay in large cities such as the county seat, otherwise the previous proof of presence will be invalidated, and you can only walk around the county seat.

At the same time, they had to hurry on the road as fast as possible, leaving Luoyang as the core of the city circle, and when they left the east of Gong County, everything would be fine.

The speed of the entire army is not slow.

Although in addition to the regular army, there is also the Cao family's relocation team, with a lot of big and small bags.

But the Cao family was rich, so Cao Cao bought a lot of chariots and horses with a wave of his hand before setting off, and they had already armed themselves into a semi-automatic team.

Therefore, not only does it not hold back, but it also has a slight advantage in speed.

Now on horseback.

Looking up at the scorching sun.

Cao Cao couldn't help but wiped the sweat off his forehead, opened the water bag and took two gulps.

It's a shame to travel in this weather.

Fortunately, depending on the weather, it won't be long before evening, and it might be cooler by then.

After taking two breaths.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look back to the northwest.

Can't see anything.

After driving for so long, Luoyang City has been dumped to nowhere, how can the naked eye reach it?

But Cao Cao still couldn't help staring deeply.

just wait!
Before long, I, Cao Cao, will return to Luoyang with an army.

Swear to kill Dong thief!
