There is an indescribable silence in the palace at night, since Dong Zhuo controlled Luoyang, everyone was cautious, because they didn't know if they would die next. Liu Tao came to the palace, and then he was familiar with the road and then Li Hong gave him a token and quietly entered the palace from a side gate of the palace, and a little eunuch looked at Liu Tao who appeared here vigilantly. Liu Tao took the token and lit it up in front of the little eunuch, and at the same time a silver ingot smashed down, and the little eunuch led Liu Tao towards Li Hong's residence.

"Gonggong Li, it's me, the captain of Yueqi." Liu Tao stood outside the door and replied in a deep voice after hearing the question inside the door, Yue Qi Captain is Fan Tao's official position, and Liu Tao got to know Li Hong through Fan Tao's relationship, although he didn't know where Fan Tao was working hard now, but Liu Tao still thanked him a little in his heart.

"Ming people don't say secret words, Gonggong Li, now the hundreds of thousands of troops of the coalition army are fighting fiercely with Dong thieves in the Tiger Prison Pass, or it won't be long before the coalition army will be killed in Luoyang. I think with the attitude of Yuan Shao and others towards the eunuchs in the palace, I don't need to tell me what happened to Gonggong Li, right? Liu Tao looked at Li Hong with a smile and took out the gift that had been prepared a long time ago.

"What does General Liu mean by that?"

"Doesn't Gonggong Li still understand what he means?" Liu Tao looked at Li Hong with a smile and said: "I'm not afraid to say it directly, I have taken a fancy to the treasures in the imperial treasury, if Gonggong Li is willing to make this deal with Zaixia, I am willing to protect Gonggong Li I is rich." Of course, if Gonggong Li is unwilling, he will not be reluctant to do so, and now he will call the guards to arrest him, but when the coalition forces broke through Luoyang, Gonggong Li should not blame Gonggong for not reminding his father-in-law. ”

"Hahaha, General Liu seems to be too worried, Dong Taishi's 200,000 Xiliang Army is sitting in the Tiger Prison Pass, how can the Xiliang Army be brave and good at fighting compared to those princes' coalition forces, not to mention that the Xiliang Army also has fierce generals like Lu Bu and Lu Wenhou to help. The coalition forces wanted to break through the Tiger Prison Pass, and General Liu was not afraid to flash his tongue when he spoke. ”

"Since Gonggong Li doesn't believe it, why don't you let people arrest him? As for the result, you and I will wait and see, but I just hope that Gonggong Li will not regret it. Liu Tao also shot back with a smile, now Dong Zhuo seems to be strong, but as long as he is a person with brains, it can be seen that it is obviously unrealistic for Dong Zhuo to control Luoyang. Not to mention that Dong Zhuo is unpopular in Luoyang, the ministers in the court are ready to move, and the northern army he controls is also unstable.

"Father-in-law Li, this is a win-win deal, I want treasures, you want money, you and I take the royal treasury together, and then I will assist you to leave Luoyang and return to your hometown in Bingzhou to be a rich man?" Liu Tao gambled again, he knew that Li Hong could do this position, and there must be his advantages, and it was impossible for him not to understand the situation in front of him.

Li Hong involuntarily stood up and walked back and forth in the house a few times, not to mention half of the money in the inner treasury, even if it was one-tenth, it was enough for him Li Hong to live a few lives without worry. He Li Hong has been a bitter child since he was a child, and now he is about to step into the ghost gate, what else does he dare not do? What's more, the naked interests are in front of him, and no one will refuse the interests.

Li Hong thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind, just as he said, no one would refuse real benefits, not to mention that Li Hong was able to achieve this position because of his sober mind. Li Hong clenched his hands into fists and said to Liu Tao very firmly: "Okay, I promise you, but I will take at least half of the money in the inner treasury, and you must find a way to transport it out for me." And after I get out, you have to make sure that your army can get me to the state safely. ”

"No problem, since I have decided to do something to the inner treasury of the royal family, I naturally have a perfect plan, I don't know when we can do it?"

"When do you think we're going to do it?" Li Hong stared at Liu Tao and said, "Now the main force guarding the palace, the Northern Army, has been transferred under Xu Rong, and is now stationed in Rongyang. I mean that without further ado, we had better do it as soon as possible, otherwise once the main forces of the Northern Army return, it will not be so simple to want to go. ”

"Okay, now Hua Xiong of the Xiliang Army is already my subordinate, we will do it tomorrow, and we will leave from the north gate of Luoyang City." Liu Tao thought for a while and said to Li Hong, he knew that the Han Dynasty was a minority in the case of money, and Li Hong asked him to help transport things out, and there must be a large amount of copper coins in the inner treasury. As for the money being shipped out, how to hide this secret, only the mouth of the dead is the tightest.

When Liu Tao slipped out of the palace, he had already made a strict plan, and when he returned to the barracks, Hua Xiong had already controlled Li Su, and at present, Li Su's order had been controlled by Li Su's entire army. And Liu Tao also began to make final preparations, the news of his ransacking of Luoyang City must not be spread, otherwise it will have a huge impact on his seizure of this plane.

"Huaxiong, tomorrow I will first go to the treasury to transport all the gold and silver treasures in the treasury, and then you arrange for your cronies to send food to Li Su's military camp, and then behead Li Su in the name of Li Su's false order to steal military rations, provoke infighting in the Xiliang army, and take people to take the opportunity to attack the palace, remember that my goal is not to really kill the palace, but to burn the palace for me with a fire!" Liu Tao's eyes flashed with a hint of resoluteness, no poison is not a husband, there are many treasures in the inner treasury of the palace, and only fire is the best way to annihilate the evidence of the crime.

"The last general understands, it's just the lord, isn't it a pity that so much grain and grass is burned?"

"Why do you burn grain and grass? In addition to leaving a certain amount of grain and grass as the daily consumption of our army, the rest of the grain and grass remained in the treasury and did not move, and ordered the people of the city to open a warehouse and release grain, remember that what you have to do is to storm the palace, you must find a way to set the palace on fire, and then rescue the emperor from me and throw it into the camp of the Xiliang army to create the illusion of civil strife in the Xiliang army. ”

"If the lord really causes infighting in the Xiliang army, what if the emperor is killed by the rebellious army?" Hua Xiong looked at Liu Tao with a worried face and said, after all, once the 50,000 army is in chaos, it will really be chaotic, and if you want to suppress it, there is no such force in the entire Luoyang at present, unless Niu Fu or Dong Zhuo's army comes back.

"You stupid, what do you think those ministers are for? Which of them doesn't have hundreds of house slaves in their family, we just want to cause infighting and burn down the palace to hide our purpose. If it is feasible, you can take your troops all the way east to Qingzhou, if not, you can escape alone, in short, you must burn the treasury and the palace to me. "Liu Tao is not distressed anyway, even if he doesn't burn Dong Zhuo, he will burn it, the chaotic army is together, the emperor definitely doesn't have any threat, those people Liu Tao also left the food to them, and then what the whole Luoyang will look like is not something he can control.

"The last general understands, please rest assured, the last general knows what to do." Hua Xiong now absolutely supports Liu Tao's words, even if Liu Tao lets him die, he will not frown, this is absolute loyalty.
