The next day, Yang Biao strongly requested that the Shuofang army be recalled to defend the Xihe River in accordance with the agreed plan. Dong Zhuo was about to eradicate Lu Bu at this time, of course, it was impossible to allow the Shuofang army to drive to Taiyuan to restrain him. But in the evening, Wang Yun personally found Dong Zhuo and persuaded the other party to recall Shuo's soldiers and horses, in order to collect Shuofang's military power.

Dong Zhuo was puzzled by this, but thinking of Wang Yun's recent obedience and support for him, Dong Zhuo did not delve into what Wang Yun and Yang Biao were planning. And there is one thing Wang Yun said very right, Shuo Fang's military power cannot be withheld, especially those descendants of Lu Bu, it is very likely that they will take advantage of Lu Bu's death to stand on their own, and then Shuo will become a weakness of Bingzhou, once Long Jun recruits the other party, Taiyuan Sensei wants to have a chance to turn the tables.

At the beginning of July, Cao Xing and others, who were far away in Shuofang, received an order from the Taiyuan Imperial Court, and also received a secret letter from Lu Bu, asking them to return to Taiyuan with their troops in response to the edict, but they did not explain the reason, and Cao Xing and others were confused, but fortunately, Lu Bu's prestige in the Shuofang army was unparalleled, so the generals repaired and rushed to Taiyuan.

At this moment, Lu Bu, who was hiding in Wang Yun's mansion, was comforting Wang Yun, who was pretending, hoping that the other party would act with him to kill Dong Zhuo. But Wang Yun, as an old fox who has been immersed for many years, how could he reveal his hole cards because of Lu Bu's words. So Wang Yun pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's not that the old man doesn't want to help Wen Hou, it's really that Master Dong has the grace of knowing me." No matter what the Taishi did, the old man had no reason to kill him. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu smiled coldly, pointed to the door and said in a low voice, "Whether Wang Situ's words are right to the heart will not be inconvenient to say, but I can tell you that no matter how he tried to entrap you at the beginning, it was actually to appease the scholar clan in the court and use you to gain the reputation of the scholar clan, otherwise according to his mean and unkind temperament, how could he tolerate Taiwei Yang and others many times." ”

"Wen Hou's words are wrong, no matter what the Taishi does to use us, but after all, he will put me in a high position, if just because the Taishi has no good intentions, we will rebel against the Taishi, then what is the difference between us and beasts? A gentleman stands on virtue and is ashamed of profit, and only because of a person's selfishness and punishes the person who carries it, what face do I have to meet the sages? ”

Seeing that Wang Yun was unwilling to help him, Lu Bu was secretly angry in his heart, but now in this situation, Lu Bu did not dare to offend Wang Yun, so he spread his hands and said helplessly, "Then be the general's wishful thinking." But the boss helped me pass on the secret message, and I will say thank you here, after all, this is my only hope for survival. ”

"Haha!" Seeing Lu Bu put on a helpless look, Wang Yun smiled heartily and didn't say much, as for how to recruit Lu Bu, Wang Yun actually had a plan in his heart. There are now 80,000 troops in the Bingzhou army, most of which are the Xiliang army that followed Dong Zhuo into Luoyang, in addition to the more than 20,000 horses sent to Yanmen and Shuofang, and 20,000 are the newly recruited soldiers of Dong Zhuo in Bingzhou in the past two years. And these armor soldiers have always only recognized Dong Zhuo and not others, so as long as Lu Bu kills Dong Zhuo, even if he has 20,000 troops now, he will definitely not be the opponent of the remaining 40,000 or 50,000 people.

However, according to this plan, the only ones standing in front of Wang Yun now are Li Dao and Fan Chou, especially Fan Chou, if it wasn't for the secret letter he brought back to Guo Yan, Dong Zhuojun would not have been torn apart, making Dong Zhuo estranged from Li Ru and Lu Bu. Thinking of this, Wang Yun took a deep look at Lu Bu, thinking about whether to remind him to find a way to get rid of Li Dao and Fan Chou first.

After thinking about it, Wang Yun felt that now was not the time, in case Lu Bu became suspicious, maybe it would not only be Dong Zhuo who would die, but also the entire palace. So Wang Yun quietly left while Lu Bu was pondering. When Lu Bu reacted, he was the only one left in the room, looking at the room like a cage, Lu Bu remembered the old enemy who was far away in Chang'an, and said to himself, "If it were you, would you care about the infamy of killing your father?" ”

At the end of July of the fourth year of Chuping, the Shuofang army that returned to Taiyuan was stationed outside Taiyuan at this time, waiting for the tour of the Taishi Dong Zhuo. As early as three days ago, Dong Zhuo should have appeared here, but for some reason, the city only sent Zhang Liao, the former commander of the Bingzhou Army, to come here, which made everyone disperse unhappily, after all, Zhang Liao now nominally belongs to Dong Zhuo's subordinates, not his colleagues who galloped together in the Bingzhou Army.

"What the hell is my brother-in-law going to do? It's been four days since we arrived in Taiyuan, and there's no news in the city right now, and it's not even clear whether he's alive or dead. At this moment, there are 40,000 troops in the city and the city has been sealed, in case Dong Zhuo Lao'er attacks us, we can only kill us and give up our brothers. ”

When Cao Xuan heard this, he rolled his eyes at Wei Xu, if it weren't for the fact that he was Lu Bu's brother-in-law, Cao Xuan would have thrown him in Shuofang, and the province would have disturbed his own military morale again. Cheng Lian on the other side was also helplessly tight with Wei Xu, and after glancing at Cao Xing, Cheng Lian chuckled and said, "No matter what, since Wen Hou asked me to wait for Taiyuan to rush, it means that he naturally knows it in his heart." As for the security issue, there is no need to worry about this, Wen Hou's bravery is only Long Jun can compete with in the whole world, and the others are not worried, and with Li Dao Fan Chou's waste firewood, our old Bingzhou army can't clean them up? ”

"That's what I said, but now our eyes are black, in case Dong Zhuo loses his mind and moves the Yanmen garrison back, how sure do you think we are?"

Seeing that Wei Xu was still alarmist, Cao Xing replied impatiently, "The sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, since it was Wen Hou who asked us to come here, then our order is, if you, General Wei, have any doubts about Wen Hou's order, then you might as well return to Shuofang, just as you have never been here?" ”

"Cao Xing, you" is different from others, and he is really a little worried about Cao Xing Wei Xu's heart, not because Lu Bu trusts him, but in the entire Shuofang army, Cao Xing's martial arts are second only to Zhang Liao, and he is deeply rooted in the military, once the two clash. If he is unpopular, he will definitely suffer a big loss, and what kind of face does he have to complain to Lu Bu about this kind of thing.

"Don't you, yours, it's still the same sentence, if you don't want to stay in Taiyuan, you can return to Shuofang, anyway, Mrs. Yan is in Shuofang at the moment, you can go back and sue her." Ben will put his words here today, before there is no news from Wen Hou, who is messing with our army's heart, Ben will kill him with his own hands, hum. ”

After glancing at Wei Xu with disdain, Cao Xuan strode away, and several other people also shook their heads and left the camp tent when they saw this. Seeing this, Wei Xu, who was left alone, burst out with cold killing intent in his eyes. There are both Cao Xing and Lu Bu in the city, don't look at him as Lu Bu's relative, but Lu Bu has not cared about him over the years, and even if it weren't for the relationship of the Yan family, he Wei Xu would probably only be a logistics officer under Lu Bu.

"People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, Lu Feng is the first you to bear me, even people like Cao Xing can lead an army under your account, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being unjust to you. The conditions given by Mrs. Dong are much more generous than yours. Muttering silently, Wei Xu resolutely left the camp tent and walked towards the main tent where Zhang Liao was.

The hearts of the people outside the city were fluctuating, and the city was not peaceful at this time, and after learning that his army had arrived, Lu Bu began to plan the assassination of Dong Zhuo. But no matter how much he planned, in the end he could only turn into a lament, because he was really not the kind of material to be an assassin, and Dong Zhuo was now accompanied by nearly a hundred personal guards, even if he was sleeping, there were at least thirty people guarding outside the door, which was like an iron bucket.

Fortunately, Wang Yun saw Lu Bu's thoughts, so he inadvertently revealed to him that Dong Zhuo would personally inspect the Shuofang army tomorrow, and during this period, the courtiers would follow him to the outside of the city. After getting this news, Lu Bu was overjoyed, and hurriedly sneaked out of the palace and got a set of armor of the Xiliang Army in the city, and Wang Yun was relieved to see it.

After the end of the morning dynasty on the second day, Dong Zhuo really led his ministers to leave Jinyang Palace, and Lu Bu, who was secretly observing the matter, quietly hid in the ranks in and out of the city, preparing to take this opportunity to return to the Shuofang military camp. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo seemed to notice it, and the parade team only walked to the city gate and did not move.

At this moment, not to mention that Lu Bu was anxious, even Wang Yun was stunned. So he hurriedly walked up to Dong Zhuo's chariot and wondered, "Why did the Taishi stop here?" Can't I wait to inspect the Shuofang army outside the city? ”

It's a pity that Wang Yun waited for a long time and didn't wait for Dong Zhuo's response, on the contrary, Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of hatred when he looked at Wang Yun, like the cold wind and the moon, which made the temperature around him drop sharply. Suddenly, a Confucian scholar appeared near Dong Zhuo's chariot, and when he saw this person, Wang Yun was shocked, and secretly said why did he come back. As for Yang Biao and the others, they were even more silent when they saw this.

"Why didn't Wang Situ speak? Don't you know each other? Gently closing the white paper fan in his hand, the Confucian walked up to Wang Yun with a smile, and asked with a playful face, "I haven't seen you for ten months, Wang Situ's face looks a little bad, is it that he used his brain too much during this time, so that he delayed his rest?" ”

"Li Wenyou!" Staring at the yin priest in front of him, the corners of Wang Yun's mouth showed a trace of bitterness, and he actually missed the relationship between Fan Chou and Li Ru, but he didn't expect Fan Chou to reveal everything to Li Ru in every detail. So Wang Yun praised as if he was fate, "He is worthy of being the top strategist in the world, the old man admires it, but I want to ask Master Li one thing." ”

Saying that, Wang Yun pointed to Dong Zhuo, who was in the chariot, and mocked unscrupulously, "Such a mean and unkind person, why does Lord Li still help him break the game?" Could it be that the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is more important than Lord Li's life? ”

However, before Li Ru could answer, a wild sand suddenly rose outside the city, and everyone, including Wang Yun, looked in the direction of the killing shouts in astonishment. At the same time, Lu Bu, who was hiding among the guards of Xiliang, suddenly attacked, pulled out his long knife and leaped to Dong Zhuo's chariot with a brisk step, followed by everyone's consternation. Lu Bu scolded angrily, "I treat you like a father, but you treat me like a dog, and today next year, I will personally go to your grave to make a stick of incense." ”

After speaking, Lu Bu stabbed into Dong Zhuo's fat body, and the guards around him did not react until he died. At this moment, Wang Yun, who was originally confronting Li Ru, had his eyes lit up instantly, and then pulled out a long knife from the waist of the sluggish guard on the side, and slashed at Li Ru in a daze. But what he didn't think about was that Lu Bu kicked the flying long knife on the chariot, and said to Wang Yun with pity, "Wang Situ, what do you want to do?" ”

At the same time, the rushing army suddenly shouted, "Save Wen Hou and kill Dong Thief." ”
