Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 93 The Great Conspiracy

Wang Yun said: "There are hundreds of healthy servants in my family, and a few adults in succession can have a thousand people. The personal guards around the emperor also have a thousand people under the command of the guard commander Shi Huan."

"Well, 2000 people are enough to protect the palace and defend the emperor. My plan is divided into four steps: the first step, Wang Situ must report to the emperor, and the emperor will invite Dong Zhuo to enter the palace. Dong Zhuo will not come if he comes. Guarded by me, I can kill it when entering the palace without any effort. The second step is to kill Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others handle the four gates. I can lead my troops to beat him by surprise. Chang'an is available, so there is no need to worry. The third step is to pass on the emperor's call to surrender Xu Rong and others. I know Xu Rong very well. He will only follow orders. The fourth step, after Chang'an is settled down, I will lead my troops to Meiwu, and Niu Fu is no match for me, so the big event is over, and it is expected that Duan Yan will lead his troops to surrender after Hongnong finds out." Lu Bu said. "At that time, Sir Situ and the court ministers will guard the palace and protect the emperor."

"Fengxian is courageous and resourceful. These four steps are interlocking and thoughtful. I will add one more: when Fengxian went to Meiwu, Sun Rui, the Jinwu officer, took over the defense of Beijing and China, and eliminated Dong Zhuo's remaining party. And then rashly Dong Zhuo must be suspicious if he is going to pass the edict, and he needs to think carefully about choosing the right time and the right person."

Lu Bu thought for a while: "I have one candidate, Li Su. Li Su is from my hometown. He is Dong Zhuo's subordinate. He is very brave but not highly valued. He is often excluded and complains a lot. I am sure I can persuade him. .Dong Zhuo won’t be suspicious if he goes to deliver the edict.”

Wang Yun was overjoyed. "That's great, you and I will work separately. It's just that the emperor has been ill recently and he can't be frightened anymore. I will enter the palace in a few days. Fengxian will wait for my news, and then give Fengxian three edicts, one of which is To call Dong Zhuo into the palace, one part is to kill Dong Zhuo, and the other part is to recruit Xu Rong and others. But during this period, we must be careful not to miss the trick."

Lu Bu nodded in agreement. "Your Excellency, the princes of the Guandong, it is best not to contact them, so as not to leak the news. Wait for the situation in Guanzhong to stabilize before recruiting the princes."

"That's fine, just follow Fengxian." From the beginning to the end, Wang Yun did not mention the Seven Star Sword and Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo.It's a pity that Lu Bu and Wang Yun still missed out one soldier after all their calculations, and that was the old soldiers who were originally stationed in Chang'an.

After Lu Bu went back, he found Li Su and said that he was a fellow villager to reminisce about the old days.After two glasses of wine, Li Su began to complain after Lu Bu started the conversation, after three glasses of wine, he began to scold his mother, and after four glasses of wine, he began to instigate Lu Bu to deal with the people of Xiliang.

"Would you like to join me and the state army?" Lu Bu asked.

"Of course I do, I'm afraid the Taiwei won't agree."

"Chang'an is now dominated by people from Xiliang, have you ever thought that we can only be suppressed by them if we replace them?"

"Hey. In terms of force, I only submit to you, Lu Bu. If Brother Feng Xian had such an idea, why would I not do it? Just the two of us can do it?"

Lu Bu will talk to Wang Yun about the plan, and when he hears that important officials from the court are involved, Li Su readily agrees, pledging his life to guarantee that he will live up to it.Lu Bu called Zhang Liao and others again, and told them to organize their troops in secret, and intentionally dispersed the generals to four sects, keeping an eye on Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

One month later, the emperor Liu Xie was healed. Wang Yun took the opportunity to enter the palace to greet Liu Xie and report the plan to Liu Xie. There has been no movement since Liu He left. I heard that because of the chaos in Hebei and Youzhou, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had conflicts, so the road was blocked, so he turned to Yuan Shu in Runan.First the feudal lords and then the clan did not play a role. Liu Xie couldn't wait any longer. Now that he was looking forward to seeing Wang Yun, he was overjoyed. He immediately drafted an imperial edict and invited Dong Zhuo to the palace for a banquet in the name of his own recovery and the congratulations of the officials.

After Wang Yun was ready, he immediately notified Lu Bu to start action, and Li Su came to Meiwu by himself with an edict in his arms, begging to see Dong Zhuo.

After reading the imperial edict, Dong Zhuo said, without any suspicion, "The Son of Heaven is healed? I haven't been to the palace for a long time, so let's go once this is the case."

Li Ru had to read the edict several times carefully. The edict was very simple, and there was no problem with it being sealed.Ask Li Su: "Why did the Son of Heaven send you to preach the imperial edict?"

Li Su said: "At the beginning of the period, the emperor wanted to send a servant. I haven't seen Mr. Xiangguo for a long time, and I miss him very much. I always wanted to come to pay my respects to him, so I took the initiative to invite Ying. Today, I saw Mr. Xiangguo with a rosy face and a strong spirit. I feel very happy." I am happy, and I wish Lord Xiangguo good fortune and a long life."

Li Ru asked again: "Health, the son of heaven, is not a big deal. Why do you have to call all the officials to celebrate?"

Li Su said: "I heard that the emperor has always cherished Xiangguo. He was originally the king of Chenliu, and he ascended the throne only with the support of Lord Xiangguo. He said that Xiangguo and him are like Taigong Jiang and King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty. Jiang Taigong is an allusion to Shangfu, calling Xiangguo Zhongfu. He wanted to surprise Xiangguo, so he didn't mention it in the edict." It's really hard for Li Su to make up such a reason in such a short time.Anyway, Li Su was not afraid of taking any responsibility, as long as he brought Dong Zhuo into the city, it would be a great achievement, even if he said that the emperor Liu Xie wanted to give Dong Zhuo the Zen throne, he would dare to say it, but if he said so, Dong Zhuo would definitely not believe it.

Hearing Li Su's words, Dong Zhuo was elated, "Well, at least the emperor has a little conscience and knows that I treat him well, unlike those ministers, I always praise them, but I can't get along with this old man." He patted Li Su on the shoulder again , "You are also a meritorious minister, and I will not treat you badly."

Li Su immediately showed a tearful look of gratitude. "Exactly, the Son of Heaven is young and has no parents, so how can he not rely on the Prime Minister."

Li Ru was still full of doubts and wanted to ask again.Dong Zhuo said: "Wenyou, don't worry, there are Li Jue and others guarding the capital. I wear armor inside, I have soldiers to accompany me, I have Fengxian to guard me, and I have Li Su to accompany me. Nothing will happen. You just wait." News."

Niu Fu also said: "Li Su is an old man in our army. Wen You still has no worries about him. Now that the soldiers of Chang'an are in my hands, who dares to hit a stone with an egg?"

Li Ru had no choice but to say: "Congratulations to Xiangguo. I'm waiting for the good news at Meiwujing."

Dong Zhuo set out a guard of honor, accompanied by Li Su, and headed for Chang'an mightily.

Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an City full of ambition, and Lu Bu greeted him at the gate, but Li Jue and others were not there.After entering the city, seeing that the street was deserted and there were not many pedestrians, Dong Zhuo stopped the carriage, called Lu Bu to his side and asked, "Feng Xian, why is the road so deserted? Where did Li Jue go?"
