However, just when everyone was discussing the details of how to get rid of Dong Thief, someone came to report that Dong Zhuo's subordinate generals Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou led 5,000 Flying Bear troops to Yiwu.

After learning the news, everyone was mixed. The good news is that the four of them were transferred, and after killing Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu was able to justifiably take over the soldiers and horses outside the city; The worry is that on Dong Zhuo's way from Yiwu to Chang'an, if he notices something wrong, as long as he retracts from Yiwu, he will have nothing to do with him.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fu Zhu stood up and said: "Everyone, now that the arrow is ready to be sent, if you hesitate any longer, the news will inevitably leak, and it will not be so easy to get rid of Dong Thief at that time." ”

Wang Yun finally made up his mind when he heard this, he stood up and said: "What Gonghe said is extremely true, if we hesitate any longer, then the plan to get rid of Dong Thief may leak out, and when Dong Thief leads his troops into Chang'an, we will die without a place to be buried." ”

As soon as Lu Bu waited for Wang Yun to finish speaking, he immediately instructed Li Su: "Li Su, early tomorrow morning, you still follow the original plan and take people to Yiwu to trick Dong Thief into returning to Beijing." ”

After Li Su received the order and sat down, Fu Zhi reminded Wang Yun again: "Mr. Zishi, Li Ru, the son-in-law of Dong Thief, is still in Beijing, so we must send someone to closely monitor him, lest he get the news and send someone to inform Dong Thief, so that our plan will fall short." ”

"But don't worry." Wang Yun had already considered what he was considering, and he said confidently: "The old man has sent more than a dozen people to lurk around the Li Mansion, and we can all know in time what is going on in the mansion." ”

Early the next morning, Li Su went to Yiwu with dozens of cavalry. Although they hurried up, by the time they arrived at the place, it was already dark.

Seeing that the city gate in front of him was slowly closing, Li Su hurriedly urged his horse forward and shouted: "Close the gate slowly, close the gate slowly." ”

A Dub, who was directing the soldiers to close the city gates, heard the shouting, turned his head to see dozens of horsemen coming rapidly in the distance, but he ignored them, and continued to tell the soldiers: "The hour has come, close the city gates." ”

But fortunately, Li Su's horse was fast, and finally rushed to the gate before the city gate was completely closed. He pointed his horsewhip at the Dubb and said breathlessly, "Don't you hear me when the officer keeps shouting and slowly closing the gates?" ”

Du Bo relied on the support of someone behind him, and was about to scold the other party for a few words, but after seeing clearly that it was Li Su who was riding on horseback, he suddenly changed his face, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Li Qidu, I don't know what is the important matter for you to come to Yiwu?" ”

"Today, the emperor has a will for the Taishi." Li Su said with a straight face: "Quickly open the city gate, let me wait to enter, if you miss the Taishi's major event, be careful of the dog's head." ”

Du Bo is also a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard, hearing Li Su say this, he knows that his intention must not be simple, and he does not dare to make things difficult anymore, so he hurriedly yelled at his soldiers: "You are all deaf, you didn't hear that Captain Li Qi was going to enter the city, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate!" You bastards, you obviously saw Captain Li riding over on horseback, and you deliberately wanted to take care of the city gate, did you deliberately let Pontus offend Captain Li Qidu? ”

Hearing Dubo's shout, the soldiers secretly said in their hearts that you didn't force the city gate to close just now, how did you put the responsibility on us. While everyone collectively greeted Dubo's female family members in their hearts, they pushed open and closed most of the city gates.

Li Su took the servants into the Wuwu, came to the door of the Dong Mansion and turned over and dismounted, he walked quickly to the military marquis on duty outside the door, and said loudly to him: "Please enter and report to the Taishi, saying that the official has brought the edict of the Son of Heaven here, and asks to see the Taishi!" ”

The military marquis entered the door to report, and not long after, he came out and said to Li Su: "The Taishi ordered you to enter and see each other!" ”

Under the guidance of the people in the mansion, Li Su came to Dong Zhuo's room where he was resting. Dong Zhuo, who was reclining on the couch, opened his eyes and waved his hand at him after hearing the report from his subordinates, signaling for him to leave. After the next person left, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes again and asked lazily: "Li Su, what edict did you bring from the Son of Heaven?" ”

Li Su hurriedly stepped forward to report and said: "Qi Taishi, the Son of Heaven is newly cured, and he wants to meet the civil and military forces in the Weiyang Palace, and the general Zen is located in the Taishi, so there is this edict." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard Li Su say this, he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight and asked, "Is that really what the edict of the Son of Heaven says?" ”

"It's true!"

Dong Zhuo didn't expect Emperor Han Xian to think of giving up the throne to himself, he was extremely excited, he got up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, secretly digesting this amazing news. After a long time, after his mood calmed down a little, he stopped and asked Li Su, "What does Wang Yun mean?" ”

Li Su hurriedly said the answer that had been prepared long ago: "Wang Situ has ordered someone to build a meditation platform, just waiting for the arrival of the lord." ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but say triumphantly: "I dreamed of a dragon covering my body at night, and I got this happy news today." Don't lose time! After saying that, he shouted outside, "Someone! With his shout, a subordinate walked in from the outside, standing solemnly at the door, waiting for Dong Zhuo's orders.

Dong Zhuo pointed at him with his hand and said, "Immediately go and call the four generals Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou here, I have important things to tell them." ”

The four generals who received the notice did not dare to stay, and rushed to the prime minister's mansion in a panic. When they learned that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was preparing a Zen throne for Dong Zhuo, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to Dong Zhuo, saying: "The ministers see Your Majesty!" Li Su, who was standing on the side, could only kneel down and call the four of them: "Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "The generals are flat!" After a few people stood up again, he instructed the four generals: "I will drive back to Beijing tomorrow, and you and the other four will lead 3,000 flying bear troops to stay in Yiwu." ”

After hearing Dong Zhuo's order, Li Dao couldn't help frowning slightly, then took a step forward and asked, "Your Majesty, Minister Li Dao is willing to escort back to Beijing!" ”

Li Su saw that Li Dao took the initiative to ask Ying, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he knew that Li Dao could mobilize the soldiers and horses of the large battalion outside the city, and once he was asked to follow Dong Zhuo back to Beijing, unexpected changes might happen at that time. Just as he was trying to think about how to let Li Ji stay, Dong Zhuo had already spoken: "Childish, it's enough to have Li Su accompany me back to Beijing, you might as well stay with Zhang Ji and them to guard the Wuwu." ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not agree to escort him back to Beijing, Li Dao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't dare to go against Dong Zhuo's one yuan, so he could only agree and obediently retreat to the side.

After Dong Zhuo asked the four generals to retreat, he said to Li Su: "Li Su, since I entered Chang'an, I have never promoted you, so you must have a lot of grievances in your heart." But you are relaxed, if I can ascend the throne as the emperor when I return to Beijing this time, you should be the ruling Jinwu. ”

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Su's mind couldn't help but launch a fierce ideological struggle, "The lord also knows that he has not promoted me for many years, and I have been wronged. As soon as he ascended the throne, he was prepared to compensate himself and let himself serve as the deacon. Dong Zhuo thought that Li Su didn't hear what he said, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Li Su, what are you thinking, didn't you hear me?" ”

Li Su hurriedly knelt down and thanked Dong Zhuo: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay, you've been tired all the way, you must be tired, so let's go down and rest first."

After Dong Zhuo waited for Li Su to leave, he staggered to the backyard and said goodbye to his mother. Dong's mother is over ninety years old, and her eyes have long been unable to see, and when she heard someone enter the door, she immediately heard that it was Dong Zhuo, so she asked, "Wu'er is here!" ”

Don't look at Dong Zhuo outside, everyone is eager to eat his flesh raw, but at home, he is a filial son. Hearing Dong's mother's question, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Mother, it is the child." ”

Mother Dong asked: "Why do you have time to come to my mother's house when I don't go to accompany your Diao Chan beauty?" ”

"Mother," replied Dong Zhuo, "the child has come to bid you farewell." ”

"Resignation?" Although Dong Zhuo often travels back and forth between Chang'an and Yiwu, every time he leaves, he never comes here to resign, so Dong's mother asked strangely: "Where is my son?" ”

Dong Zhuo replied: "The son will go to the Han Chan, and the mother will be the queen mother sooner or later!" ”

After Dong Zhuo's words were finished, Dong's mother was not as surprised as he imagined, but sat there expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard what Dong Zhuo said at all. After a long time, Dong's mother spoke: "My flesh has been trembling recently, I am afraid it is not a good omen." ”

But after hearing this, Dong Zhuo said disapprenously: "Mother will be the mother of the country, wouldn't there be a surprise report!" After saying that, he chatted a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye.

As soon as Dong Zhuo returned to the bedroom, Diao Chan greeted him. Seeing Dong Zhuo's face full of joy, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Seeing the spring breeze on Taishi's face, is there any happy event that can't be done?" ”

"Beauty is really a clever trick." Dong Zhuo hugged Diao Chan in his arms, and told her about the upcoming trip to Beijing to receive Zen, and finally said proudly: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I should make you a concubine." ”

After Diao Chan waited for Dong Zhuo to finish speaking, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, he had endured the humiliation for so long, and finally waited for the day to kill Dong Zhuo. Hearing Dong Zhuo's words that she wanted to crown herself as a concubine, she hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine!" ”

Dong Zhuo stayed in the Diao Chan house that night, perhaps thinking that he was going to be the emperor, Dong Zhuo's performance on the couch tonight was extremely brave, which was not the same as the fast three seconds on weekdays.

After dawn, Dong Zhuo left Diao Chan's room, got into the carriage parked outside the palace gate, and headed towards Chang'an with two thousand iron horses.

But after walking less than thirty miles, he suddenly heard a loud click, and the carriage that Dong Zhuo was riding suddenly tilted to the side. The soldiers on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to inspect and found that the axle of the carriage was broken. After Dong Zhuo was helped out of the carriage by Li Su, he pointed to the trembling coachman on the side and said, "Retreat him and behead him!" ”

"Taishi spare your life, spare your life!" When the coachman heard that Dong Zhuo was going to kill him, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, wanting Dong Zhuo to spare his life. But the last guard couldn't help but say anything, stepped forward and cut his hands behind his back, dragged him aside, and chopped off his head with a knife.

Dong Zhuo was worried that the axle would break again, so he ordered someone to find a horse and go with Li Su. After traveling ten miles, Dong Zhuo's mount suddenly roared and roared as if it had gone crazy. In order not to fall off the horse, Dong Zhuo grabbed the reins tightly, but he used too much force and actually pulled the reins off.

After others helped subdue the horses, Dong Zhuo couldn't help frowning and asked Li Su on the side: "The wheel of the car is broken, the horse is broken, what is the sign?" ”

Fortunately, Li Su was clever and hurriedly replied: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." It is the Taishi who should Shao Han Chan, abandon the old for the new, and will take the omen of the jade and golden saddle. ”

As soon as Li Su said a few words of flattery, Dong Zhuo immediately turned his anger into joy: "What Li Su said is extremely true, but I am too worried." ”

The group rested for the night at the inn on the way, and when they continued their journey the next day, a sudden wind suddenly rose and the sky was covered with fog. Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo asked Li Su again: "What is this auspicious?" ”

Li Su's eyes rolled, and he made up a new lie: "The lord ascends the dragon throne, it is a change of dynasty, and there will be red light and purple fog to strengthen the sky and majesty." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the doubts in his heart disappeared again. He boldly commanded the army to move forward, not knowing that he was dying step by step.

In the afternoon of the same day, Dong Zhuo and his entourage came to the outside of Chang'an City. Still following the long distance, he saw the hundred officials waiting on the side of the road, Li Su hurriedly said to Dong Zhuo: "Your Majesty, please see, the civil and military officials of the court have come out to take over!" Seeing this, Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, ordered the team to stop, and urged the horse forward alone.

Wang Yun, who was standing in front of the team, couldn't help but rejoice in his heart when he saw that Dong Zhuo really came: "Dong thief, you are dead." He hurriedly greeted Dong Zhuo and knelt on his knees and saluted: "The minister and the king are allowed to see Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as Wang Yun's words came out, the faces of many of the civil and military officials standing behind changed drastically, because not everyone knew the plan to kill Dong Zhuo. When several old ministers were about to come out to reprimand Wang Yun, they were stopped by the people next to them.

And everything that happened in the queue was seen by Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on horseback. He knew that those people were against his own meditation, and he was still secretly thinking about it, and when he ascended the throne, he would immediately behead these ministers. But in front of him, he still turned over and dismounted, helped up Wang Yun who was kneeling in front, and said with a smile: "Wang Situ's title is wrong, Your Majesty is in the palace, how can you return to outside the city." ”

Wang Yun stood up and said to Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Sooner or later, the Taishi will be subject to Han Chan, and it is not wrong for the old minister to call him so." ”

Dong Zhuo was thinking in his heart that if he settled accounts with those ministers who were dissatisfied with him, he didn't care what Wang Yun was saying, but continued to ask: "Are all the ministers in the court here?" ”

"Back to the Taishi," Wang Yun replied respectfully, "Except for Li Ru and Li Wenyou, all the civil and military officials in the court have gone outside the city to greet the Taishi." ”

Although Li Ru was his son-in-law, he didn't show up on such an important day today, which still made Dong Zhuo's heart very uncomfortable, he snorted and asked, "Why didn't he come?" ”

"It is said that he is sick at home," Wang Yun hurriedly explained to Dong Zhuo: "The old minister estimates that Li Wenyou is very sick, otherwise he will not fail to come out to greet the Taishi when he returns to Beijing." ”
