Great Han Empire

Chapter 566 Immediately Crossing the Gun
Li Ru was horrified, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's absolutely impossible, this is the way to die."

Liu Ai also eagerly persuaded: "When Luoyang is burned, you will be a sinner of the Han Dynasty through the ages, and you will be besieged by the people of the world. The states and counties in various states did not participate in the rebellion, and those who are hesitating and watching left and right will also make up their minds because of this. , One after another raised troops to respond, and then the rebel army would not be an army of 20, but an army of 40, 60, or even a million."

"My lord, although the current situation seems to be very unfavorable to us, when we think about it carefully, we still have a lot of initiative and advantages, and we are not at the end of the mountain." Tian Yi blushed and said excitedly, "My lord If we burn Luoyang in a fit of anger, not only will we be destitute, but we may even lose Chang'an and Western Xinjiang."

"Luoyang is the foundation of the Han Dynasty. If Luoyang is burned, the country will be in ruins. The country will be gone, and the world will be in chaos. The first person to bear the brunt is you, my lord." Li Ru said in panic, "The first one to hit you is General Hussars, even if he loses the entire northern border, he will unite with the rebels and kill you, so that he can make unrivaled feats and easily obtain this piece of land. The second is those rebels, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu and the others had ulterior motives, ignored the emperor, and openly rebelled, and your lord's burning this way just fulfilled their wish. Not only can they beat you justifiably, but they can also support themselves, seek hegemony, and establish a country."

"My lord, it's not that Luoyang cannot be burned, but burning Luoyang is equivalent to digging one's own grave. Your lord will not only be infamous as a ruined country, but also give the opportunity to usurp the country to the general Hushi and those rebels." Liu Ai He said sadly, "Those people are scolding you, beating you, and laughing at you at the same time. They all burst into laughter. My lord, think about it, can this be done? My lord, this is not to vent anger, but... "

He wanted to say that Dong Zhuo was extremely stupid, but he really couldn't say it, so he had to hold it in his stomach.

Dong Zhuo obviously also heard the meaning of Liu Ai's words. He stared with a pair of eyes, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and gasped extremely violently.

"We all know the situation in northern Xinjiang. Without the support of the imperial court, without the assistance of food and supplies, it will soon collapse. Once Luoyang and Chang'an fight, the war will not end within a year or a half. Just imagine How could the cavalry general do such a plan of defeat?" Li Ru said loudly, "I think the hussar general's move is mainly to threaten and restrain the lord, to force the lord to withdraw from Luoyang, and then realize the three-party check and balance, in order to quickly stabilize the situation , get food and supplies, and ease the crisis in northern Xinjiang."

"With the current strength of General Hussars, he can only do this. Next, he may have to deal with the rebels." Tian Yi said, "According to our information, Zhang Yan's army has arrived at Changshan, and Qu Yi has already stationed troops in Huguan, and the purpose of the General Hussars is obvious. The Generals Hussars restrained the Lord and controlled Han Fu so that the victims could be relocated to Gyeonggi and Jizhou. This is the only way to alleviate the crisis in northern Xinjiang. "

"In addition, I heard that the ant thieves in Qingzhou have rebelled, and the scale and momentum are getting bigger and bigger. We don't care whether the news is true or not, but one thing is certain, that is, life for the rebels is also very difficult. Once Han Fu and General Hushi fought in Jizhou, would the rebels still dare to attack Luoyang? You must know that Jizhou is unstable, and the rebels’ food and pay will be cut off.”

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "But the fact in front of us is that we have lost three passes, and the dangers of Wei and Han have not been reported overnight. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for us to control Luoyang. Without Luoyang, we will be Trapped to death in Guanzhong, what will we do if the Hussar General and the rebels join hands in the future, or establish another imperial system? If Luoyang is burned, northern Xinjiang will collapse. Leopard has no money and food, and may not be able to control the situation. His army is extremely powerful It may be divided, and because the rebels have the opportunity to codify the country, they may not be united and fight together. Luoyang is gone, and the emperor is gone. The opportunity to fight for world hegemony has come. Speaking of which, it is probably more important to support the troops than to crusade against me, Dong Zhuo, right?"

"My lord, what's the loss of three passes? What's the siege of [-] soldiers in the east of the river? My lord has been fighting for a lifetime, can't you see the key point of this?" Liu Ai shook his head and said, "My lord is in charge of state affairs and is deeply trapped in the capital. During the crisis, we have forgotten the way to choose. Sometimes, in order to win the final victory, we must voluntarily give up the results we have already obtained, especially now, in order to gain the world and preserve the country, adults should give up without hesitation."

"My lord has been a soldier all his life, and has gone through hundreds of battles. When did he do such a thing? If your lord fought like this, he would have died in battle with his head in a different place."

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized something, his expression changed, and he broke out in a cold sweat involuntarily.As Liu Ai said, he was overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure, and suddenly lost his mind and became chaotic.Dong Zhuo sat down slowly, and his breathing gradually eased.

Li Ru, Liu Ai, and Tian Yi saw that Dong Zhuo's anger was fading away, and they were at ease.

Li Ru immediately analyzed the situation in front of him. Due to the treachery and sudden attack of the Hushi General, most of our advantage in Luoyang was lost. It is very difficult to continue to occupy Luoyang.Even though we invested heavily in the south bank of the Yellow River and the Xiaoshan and Hangu Pass areas to protect our retreat, the crisis in Chang'an has already emerged. Once the Hussar General launches an attack and causes chaos among the three assistants, we are very likely to take care of one thing and lose the other. As for the loss of both places, the only way we can now is to withdraw from Luoyang, take the initiative to retreat to Hangu Pass and Tong Pass, and secure the pass in order to regain the initiative.

Withdrawing from Luoyang and sticking to the front lines of Chang'an, Tongguan, and Hangu Pass, we will be able to rely on Guanzhong to advance and attack, retreat and defend, and put Luoyang and all parts of the Central Plains under our attack.This threat to Luoyang and the rebellion is far greater than sticking to Luoyang.Secondly, our withdrawal from Luoyang is tantamount to helping the General Hussars. He can not only relocate the refugees and ease the crisis in northern Xinjiang, but also join us in fighting the rebels again, suppressing the rebels outside of Gyeonggi to achieve a balance , so as to quickly resolve this crisis and get us much-needed food and supplies.The last point is very important. We are withdrawing from Luoyang, not abandoning Luoyang. This Luoyang is still ours. No matter whether it is the northern Xinjiang army or the rebel army, no one can enter Luoyang. In other words, Henan Yin is a forbidden area. Anyone who wants to enter , whoever we hit.Even if everything is destroyed, we will not hesitate.

Li Ru looked up at Dong Zhuo and said solemnly: "If we take a step back, the situation will change completely. We will leave the burden of Luoyang to General Hushi and let him fight the rebels. In this way, we can not only sit on the mountain Watching the tigers fight, you can also help them at the right time to make them fight more lively. The Hussar General is unwilling to defeat the rebels, he wants to check and balance, well, we will give him a chance to check and balance, in the future, wait When we regained our strength, we maliciously undermined this check and balance, and made him suffer from the check and balance.”

Dong Zhuo had calmed down now, he nodded again and again, "Okay, this plan is very good, let's help Leopard, after all, we have a good friendship, there is no need to fall out, and it will take a long time." Then he looked at Li Ru and asked, "Long Sheng, what should we do now? Should I contact Li Wei?"

"He will come soon." Liu Ai said, "I guess he is already on his way."

On March, Henan Yin, Liang County.

Standing on the tower, Sun Jian looked at the gray sky in the distance, smiled and asked Sima Zhuzhi who was standing beside him, "Jun Li, look, are we going to continue attacking the Yang people?"

Zhu Zhi shook his head, "Both Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were strong fighters who participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass. They held the Yanmen Pass for several months without retreating, but they couldn't even hold out for a day in Liang County. Is this possible? There must be something famous here. "

Zhu Zhi is in his 20s, of medium build and full of vigor.He was from Danyang. When Sun Jian went to Changsha as the prefect, he was a soldier in the Changsha Mansion, and he followed Sun Jian to put down the rebellion of Ou Xing.At that time, Zhou Chao, Guo Shi and others also rebelled in Lingling and Guiyang, echoing Ou Xingyao, and Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was beaten very embarrassingly by them.Without hesitation, Sun Jian took his troops and horses to go to conquer.Zhu Zhi said that crossing the border without authorization is a matter of exceeding authority, and it is better to ask the governor first.Sun Jian said, I am a warrior, and it is my duty to put down the rebellion and defend the country, and it is my duty.In the future, even if I am convicted of cross-border conquest, I will not be afraid. My grandson is for the great Han society, and I am worthy of the world.If this is also a crime, then I would rather bear it.Sun Jian immediately rushed to the aid of Wang Rui, and together with Wang Rui, they quelled the rebellion and shocked Jingxiang.Zhu Zhi felt that there were too few officials in this dynasty who were as daring as Sun Jian, so he admired him very much and vowed to follow him to the death.

Sun Jian said with a disdainful smile: "At one time and then at another time, now they are following Dong Thief, all doing rebellious things, their minds have already been blackened, how much can they do?"

Zhu Zhi looked at him sideways, hesitant to speak.

"Are you still worried about my killing of Wang Rui and Zhang Zi? Do you think I'm also a rebel?" Sun Jian asked with a serious expression.

Zhu Zhi didn't speak, but the look on his face clearly told Sun Jian that he had a very good opinion on this matter.

Sun Jian set off from Changsha in mid-February, and first arrived at Hanshou, the Jingzhou government (now northeast of Changde, Hunan), where he wanted to kill Wang Rui.Wang Rui once worked with Sun Jian to quell the rebellions in Lingling and Guiyang.Sun Jian was brave and invincible, and his murderous intent was unavoidable.Wang Rui is a noble man, and in his speech, he often showed contempt for Sun Jian, and Sun Jian was very dissatisfied with this.Later, Wang Rui impeached Sun Jian for crossing the border without authorization. Sun Jian was furious and almost turned against Wang Rui.Wang Rui had a personal grievance with Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling. This time he sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo. Wang Rui declared that Cao Yin belonged to Dong Zhuo and wanted to kill Cao Yin.Cao Yin was very frightened and asked Sun Jian for help.Sun Jian said, you first lead the army to Hanshou to ask him for food, pay and arms, and take the opportunity to make trouble, and then I will kill him under the pretext of calming down the chaos.

Seeing Sun Jian leading the army, Wang Rui hurriedly asked what was going on, and Sun Jian said, I have ordered you to take your head.Wang Rui asked Sun Jian, what crime am I guilty of?Sun Jian replied with four words: "Sit and don't know."

In the letter, Yuan Shu warned Sun Jian not to disclose Wang Rui's surrender to Dong Zhuo, so as not to affect the morale of Dong Dajun.In addition, even if Sun Jian said that Wang Rui took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he did not have any evidence in his hand, nor did he have an imperial edict to arrest and kill Wang Rui, so Sun Jian could only say so.For no reason, I want to kill you too.Wang Rui felt guilty and knew he couldn't survive, so he committed suicide by swallowing gold.Sun Jian's subordinates and people in Jingzhou Mansion thought that Sun Jian killed Wang Rui to vent his personal anger.Wang Rui was also a member of the Dong Dajun at this time, and he was still a minister of the court. Sun Jian said "sit ignorantly." He killed him, not necessarily too arrogant and domineering.Sun Jian didn't explain at all, and ordered his subordinates to pry open the money storehouse and grain depot of Jingzhou Prefecture, and continue northward with the money, food and luggage.

It is about 1000 miles from Changsha to Luyang. When the [-] troops reached Nanyang, there was not enough food.So Sun Jian asked Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, for food.Zhang Zi asked his subordinates, to give or not to give?His subordinates said, Sun Jian was only the prefect of Changsha, why should he ask us for food?do not give.This is exactly what Sun Jian wanted.It's fine if you don't give it, I'm going to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu tomorrow, and I invite you to have dinner and wine.Zhang Zi didn't know that Wang Rui had been killed by Sun Jian. If he knew, he would not dare not give food, let alone go to Sun Jian's camp to drink.Sun Jian killed him with a single blow.If you don't give me food and delay in asking for Dong Daye, I will kill you.

Sun Jian had no imperial decree, no reason, and thirdly, his official position was not big, and he had no right to kill court officials without authorization, but he not only killed, but also killed two in a row. His men were dumbfounded.When did Sun Jian become such a person?Does he no longer have the Son of Heaven in his eyes?There is no Han law?He kills so recklessly, how different is it from Dong Zhuo?

Sun Jian said to his subordinates, now that the traitor Dong is in chaos and the country is in danger, we, as ministers, should take eradicating traitors and revitalizing the country as our top priority. These people have been favored by the emperor. The country, if you don’t kill them, who will you kill?As long as there are officials who stop me from begging for Dong, I will kill as many as possible.

When Yuan Shu learned that Zhang Zi was dead, he quickly arranged for his chief clerk Li Ye and military commander Chen Lan to take 2000 people to Wancheng to take over Nanyang, and sent his leader Bo Yanghong to Hanshou to take over Jingzhou.At the same time, Yuan Shu urgently wrote to Yuan Shao, asking to make Sun Jian a general of Zhonglang.

It was only at this time that Sun Jian suddenly discovered something. It turned out that the appeal for Dong Dajun was not just for Dong, but also deposed the current emperor, and even slandered the current emperor for not being the son of the first emperor.The person who wanted to designate himself as Zhonglang General turned out to be Yuan Shao who commanded the world with a copy of Hongnong King's "Decree of Inheritance".Sun Jian was dumbfounded, he had a feeling of being cheated.

Yuan Shao and those state and county officials who challenged Dong Dajun can depose the emperor at will, so what is the difference between them and Dong Zhuo?Which emperor is it that I want to fight for?

Sun Jian looked at the gloomy sky, and suddenly raised his head and let out a long cry.

"Without a country, without an emperor, where is the law? Where is the dignity of the law?" Sun Jian said loudly, "A gentleman is open-minded. He looks up to the sky and bows to the earth. I am devoted to the country wholeheartedly, without any selfishness." , Am I also a traitor? Those who know the country is in trouble but don’t reach out to rescue them, are they actually loyal ministers of the country?”

"My lord, which emperor do you want to pledge your allegiance to today? Which court are you loyal to?" Zhu Zhi said excitedly, pointing to the western sky, "One emperor is in Chang'an, and the other emperor is dead. Even if Luoyang is captured today, what can we do? Who is a traitor and who is a loyal minister, have you clearly distinguished? Attack? Who are we going to fight?"

Chief Shi Gongsun said that military commanders Ma Chengpu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others stood around, quietly listening to the quarrel between Sun Jian and Zhu Zhi, and bowed their heads in silence.The army galloped all the way from Changsha, everyone was full of ambition to serve the country, and when they arrived in Gyeonggi, they suddenly realized that they didn't know right or wrong, and didn't know where to go.

The news that followed left them even more bewildered.General Longxiang Xu Rong, who was in control of the Hushi General's Mansion, defeated the coalition forces in the direction of Zhengdong Suanzao.The coalition forces suffered heavy losses and returned in defeat.Hussar General Li Hong has high prestige in the eyes of everyone. Since he sent troops to defend the capital, he naturally went south according to the order.For whose purpose?Of course it is today.In that case, are you fighting against Dong, or against today's emperor?
When Sun Jian and a group of his subordinates were arguing endlessly over whether Dong was right or wrong, and were hesitating whether to continue to attack, the later general Yuan Shu was making great strides to retreat, heading directly for Wancheng, the administrative center of Nanyang.Yuan Shu urgently wrote to Sun Jian, saying, Wentai, come back, don't fight anymore.The General Hussars has already gone south, so it is best for us to retreat.

Sun Jian was so angry that he cursed.He and his subordinates knew very well that they had been fooled by Yuan Shu this time.All the way to the north, he killed the governor of Jingzhou and the prefect of Nanyang, but in the end, Yuan Shu took Jingzhou and Nanyang without any effort.

"Is this also called begging Dong?" Huang Gai scolded, "I think this is fighting the world for his Yuan Clan."

"My lord, let's go back and forget it." Han Dang said in a low voice, "The chaos is about to begin. If your lord can secure Changsha, it will be a way to protect yourself."

"I can't go back." Gongsun Cheng urged hastily, "Wang Rui and Zhang Zi have been killed by us, and your lord has already ridden on the back of the tiger called Dong Dong. If you think about it, you won't be able to get off. We have to continue the expedition."

When Sun Jian and others were at a loss, Sun Jian's nephew, Sun Ben, the governor of Changsha Prefecture, came in with a person.When Sun Jian saw it, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Jingming, why are you here?"

The young man bowed and said, "Brother Wentai. The teacher is now Henan Yin. He was very happy to hear that you have arrived in Gyeonggi, and told me to find you as quickly as possible."

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Teacher is still in Luoyang?"

"Yes, it's in the city."

Sun Jian stood up and introduced to everyone with a smile, "This is Master Zhu Jun's disciple, Ding Li, and my classmate."

Ding Li is relatively thin, with a pair of delicate eyes, and he speaks in a gentle and gentle manner.He briefly introduced what happened in Luoyang in recent months, and then said, "The teacher asked me to tell you that the series of actions of General Hussars in the past ten days have shown his intention to attack Dong Zhuo. It is very likely that there will be a fierce attack on Gyeonggi in the near future. The teacher hopes that Brother Wentai will put the emperor as the most important thing and the country as the most important thing, and use all his forces to storm the three passes of Dagu, Yuyuan, and Yique, so as to unite with the general Hushi and the Soldiers and horses from various states and counties quickly captured Luoyang and approached Chang'an to eliminate the treacherous King Qin and revitalize the great man."

Sun Jian fell silent.

Cheng Pu asked: "May I ask Master Zhu Jun what he thinks of General Long Xiang's attack on General Xu Rong to challenge Dong Dajun?"

Ding Li said calmly: "This is the key point. General Hussars has been dragged down by the northern border, and he has been hesitant to send troops to challenge King Dong Qin. To put it bluntly, he is also too selfish. He is greedy for small gains and loses big ones. Xinjiang, completely ignoring the safety of our great Han community, let alone the emperor's suffering, his intentions are unpredictable, which can be seen. The general Hushi wanted to maintain the stability of Luoyang, but he didn't want to fight, so what should he do? So he thought of a A strategy of three-party checks and balances is a strategy for the destruction of the country."

"Three-party check and balance?" Sun Jian asked in surprise, "General Hushi, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao? What about the Son of Heaven? Where is the imperial court? If it is a plan, where will they put the Son of Heaven? Where will the court of the Han Dynasty be?" Land? Where do I put the laws of the Han Dynasty? This is a strategy for the subjugation of the country."

"Yes, so the teacher will do his best to destroy this check and balance." Ding Li said, "At this time, the emperor and the court urgently need Brother Wentai's help. As long as Brother Wentai launches a fierce attack from the south and Yuan Shao launches a fierce attack from the northeast, the Hussar General Forced by the situation, it is impossible not to fight. As long as we are determined to take down Luoyang, there will be no checks and balances, and only the survival of the country will be possible."

Sun Jian didn't hesitate any longer, and punched the case, "Tomorrow, we will attack Yangren City."

In mid-March, Huaicheng, Hanoi County.

Zhang Yang and the [-] Northern Army were besieged in Wen County after the first battle against Dong Dajun, but this good news did not bring Yuan Shao the slightest joy, he was already overwhelmed by the urgent reports from all over the world.

First, the Dong army who attacked Xingyang was hit hard by Xu and Hu Zhen. The [-] army suffered nearly [-] casualties.The frontal attack army that had placed high hopes lost the power to fight again in a blink of an eye.

Qingzhou Inspector Jiao He and Beihai Prefect Kong Rong asked Yuan Shao for help, saying that the ants were too powerful and the whole Qingzhou was in danger of war.

Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, and Zi Shao, prefect of Mount Tai, made an emergency call to Yuan Shao, saying that the main force of the ants had moved to Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and it was estimated that millions of ants would enter the two prefectures in the near future to cause disaster. To protect the stability of the county.

Yu Du and Sui Gu, the leaders of Taihang Mountain Ant Thieves in Hanoi County, just led their troops down the mountain to plunder. Bai Rao and Ku Chief, the leaders of Heishan Ant Thieves, led an army to attack Chaoge City in Hanoi County and Yecheng, the seat of Wei County in Jizhou.The food road for Dong Dajun in Hanoi was cut off in an instant.Yuan Shao has already ordered Chunyu Qiong to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but who knows when the grain road will return to normal?

These news are not serious news. After all, this is just some ant thief rebellion that everyone is used to and has been expected for a long time. The more serious news comes from Jizhou. The northern Xinjiang army finally couldn't bear to enter Jizhou.

The guarding general Zhang Yan left Changshan and forcibly entered Yingtao City, the prefecture of Julu County, and imprisoned the prefect of Julu County and all the officials of the government office.Qu Yibing, the general of the town army, went out of Huguan, forcibly entered Handan City of Zhao State, and drove all the officials of Zhao State and Guoxiang Mansion to Yecheng.Qu Yi even threatened that if the prefectures and counties in Jizhou did not sell grain to him, he would directly enter Yecheng in Weijun and arrest Mu Hanfu and all the officials of Jizhou Prefecture.

The arrogance and unreasonableness of Qu Yi and the Beijiang Army angered the Jizhou Army, and Pan Feng, the governor of Jizhou Prefecture, rushed to Handan with an army of [-].The two sides are at war with each other, and they are about to explode.

Yuan Tan, the eldest son who stayed behind in Bohai County, also rushed to write, saying that the cavalry of General Gongsun Zan, who broke the captives, suddenly appeared in Quanzhou City at the southernmost tip of Yuyang County, and it is very likely that they will continue southward and threaten Bohai and Hejian Kingdom.

Yuan Shao convened Xu You, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others to discuss day and night. Everyone agreed that northern Xinjiang could no longer hold on. Before taking the lead, they used strong force as a deterrent to force Dong Zhuo and Dong Dajun to make concessions, and strive to move out of the millions of refugees from the east of the river and the disaster victims outside the Great Wall that led to the collapse of northern Xinjiang as quickly as possible.

"Be patient, whoever can endure until the end will be the winner." Xu You said firmly, "As long as the northern border collapses, the Hussar General will join forces with us. There is no other way out."

"Let Han Fu stand up and tell him not to sell grain to Beijiang, and no one is allowed to sell grain to Beijiang. If anyone dares to sell grain privately, we will destroy his clan." Xin Ping waved his hand and said, "Qu Yi is A barbarian, forgive him for not daring to use force. If he dares to shoot an arrow first, we will trap him in Handan and starve him to death."

Yuan Shao immediately wrote to various places in a hurry, understating the movements of the army in northern Xinjiang, and vividly describing the upcoming collapse in northern Xinjiang. In the end, he said, "wait patiently and don't attack."

In the middle of March, Li Wei galloped to Beijing with his supervisor Cao Jiewu and Xu Yan, and thirty attendants on cavalry.

Dong Zhuo refused to see him, and he was not allowed to set foot in Xiangguo's mansion.

Li Ru and Liu Ai did not dare to be negligent, and they went to greet each other outside Luoyang City early.Li Wei directly explained the purpose of coming here, and expressed in detail the strategy of checks and balances. He hoped that Mr. Xiangguo could understand the difficulties in northern Xinjiang and temporarily withdraw from Luoyang to create an opportunity for the three parties to check and balance.After the crisis is over in the future, what should we do?Now everyone's stomach is not full, what else is there to play?

Li Ru said that checks and balances are possible, but Luoyang is controlled by the Northern Army, and there is only one Han emperor, and the rebels cannot enter Gyeonggi.

"Of course, this is the basic condition for checks and balances. Rebellion is rebellion. When we solve the stomach problem, they will not be far from death." Li Wei smiled, "In order to facilitate our discussion with Yuan Shao, I hope that Mr. Xiangguo will help you. Busy, leave Taifu's family to us."

Li Ru and Liu Ai looked at each other and smiled.Liu Ai said in a very embarrassed way: "Zhong Yuan, you are too late, Lord Xiangguo has already killed them."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, looked at the towering and majestic Luoyang City, and said goodbye.

=

Li Ru and Liu Ai returned to Xiangguo's mansion, reported to Dong Zhuo in detail, and finally said: "Li Wei wants Yuan Kai's family, Mr. Xiangguo..."

"Kill Yuan Kai." Dong Zhuo yelled angrily, "Check and balance? This world is in my hands now, not a leopard. Can he check and balance if he wants to check and balance? Kill Yuan Kai for me, I want to see Let's see how the leopard checks and balances."

On Wuwu Day in March ([-]th), Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, Taifu Yuan Ji, and more than [-] people, old and young, were all executed.
