Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhang Fan pretended to let go of his knot, and said righteously:

"Dong Zhuo bullied the lord to gain power, and it is difficult to protect the society. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info wants Emperor Gao to punish Qin and destroy Chu, and he is dying in the world; who wants to pass it on to this day is to die at the hands of Dong Zhuo! ”

"Zhuo, the great thief of the country, the slaughter of the lord and the remnants of the ministers, the heaven and the earth are not good, and the people and gods are the same disease! A certain is bound to bring down Dong Zhuo, a traitor, and the big man is in a bright sky! ”

Everyone showed a look of relief, cheered, and expressed their willingness to support Zhang Fan and help Zhang Fan.

A flash of brilliance flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes, and he said tentatively:

"Does the lord have a plan?"

Zhang Fan did not answer, but turned to Gongsun Jing and said:

"Take Out the Divine Decree ......"

Gongsun Jing took out the holy decree and handed it to everyone, and everyone took it to see that it was a posthumous edict of the first emperor, and when they saw the time of issuance, it was the day Zhang Fan left Luoyang. The holy decree said that if Dong Zhuo committed rebellion, the hussar general Zhang Fan was allowed to gather all the princes and enter the king of Jingqin.

Several strategists glanced at each other, their faces were happy, and Zhang Fan said in a heavy tone:

"When I left Beijing, the first emperor took precautions and issued a secret edict, who would have thought that ...... Alas! After I return to Huiji, I will circulate the edict of the first emperor to the world, accuse Dong Zhuo of the evil deeds of traitors, and gather heroes from all walks of life in the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo and avenge the first emperor! ”

Everyone said in unison: "Avenge the first emperor!" ”

Zhang Fan felt that he couldn't go on, waved his hand and said:

"Well, let's all go down! Let me be alone and quiet, and about the details of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, I will go back to Huanglongzhai to discuss separately-"

"No." They bowed and withdrew......

Everyone came out, only Gongsun Jing stood in place and did not move, Zhang Fan took a sip of tea and asked:

"New information has been sent to Luoyang?"

Gongsun Jing replied, "Yes, my lord." ”

In fact, he just had a fight with Lu Lingqi today, and Zhang Fan was already a little tired at this time, but he still barely cheered up and said:

"Okay, let's talk!"

Gongsun Jing began to report: "On October 2, Dong Zhuo ignored the etiquette system and imperial authority, and ordered people to start building a dock fort in his fief with the scale of the Chang'an city wall, which was seven zhang high and thick, and was blatantly named "Long Live Dock"; It was also stipulated that when any official passed through his fiefdom, he must dismount and respectfully salute him. ”

"On October 3, Dong Zhuo tied hundreds of captured rebel soldiers with strips of cloth and turned their heads upside down, then poured oil on them and burned them alive with fire, which can be described as extremely cruel."

"On October 5, Dong Zhuo's Qiang soldiers robbed the people who were assembling in the township community in Yangcheng. The soldiers killed all the men, brutally cut off their heads, and bloodied them side by side on the wheels of the chariots, which was shocking. In addition, they took the opportunity to abduct a large number of women and a large amount of property. Upon his return to Luoyang, his generals gathered their heads and burned them, and rewarded the soldiers with women and goods that outsiders claimed to be the result of victory over the enemy. ”

"On October 6, Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue cavalry, saw that Dong Zhuo was brutal and resentful, so he put on a small armor in the court uniform, hid a short knife, attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, was tortured and died, and wiped out the three clans."

On October 8, Dong Zhuo escorted hundreds of rebels who had taken prisoners to the center of the meeting and ordered the soldiers to cut off their tongues, then some had their hands and feet cut off, and some had their eyes gouged out. The cruelty of his methods was horrific to all the officials and soldiers present. ”

"On October 10, Yilang Gaixun secretly discussed with General Zuo Huangfu Song and prepared to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo, but later due to Huang Fu Song's requisition, Yang Xun was weak and weak, so he gave up."

On October 12, Dong Zhuo revised the law and punishment, which became particularly chaotic and unorthodox: harsh punishment was often imposed on ordinary people, while the law was not prosecuted for the cronies, and everything depended on Dong Zhuo's personal will. Public grievances are boiling, and injustices are everywhere. ”

On October 14, Dong Zhuo ordered the destruction of the five-baht coins that had passed, and also ordered all the bronze figures, bronze bells and bronze horses to be broken and recast into small coins. The circulation of small money directly leads to severe inflation: the currency depreciates, and prices skyrocket. The people are miserable, and their lives are in excruciating misery. Dong Zhuo used the money he collected to sing and dance all day long, seeking pleasure and having fun, and living a lascivious life. ”

……

Zhang Fan was very depressed after hearing this, although Dong Zhuo did all the evil, but he always felt that he also had his own sin.

However, this guilt was quickly suppressed by reason, after all, politics is the most ruthless game.

Compassion for heaven and compassion for all sentient beings, only God and Buddha can do it. Sacrificing the minority and saving the majority is the professional ethics of a qualified politician.

Zhang Fan knows that he can't be a hero, and he doesn't want to be a hero, he only pursues the supremacy of interests, and is a big hero who "would rather me bear others than others bear me"!

Zhang Fan sighed: "The thief holds the authority of the country, and kills the lord and dies Yujing." Overthrew the emperor's foundation, and the temple was burned. ”

Gongsun Jing continued: "My lord, there is one more thing to report. On October 15, Wang Yun set up a banquet hall, and the ministers arrived. Cao said: Recently, those who have stooped down to do things really want to take advantage of the ears of the map. Today's Zhuo is quite faithful, and the reason for the time is close to Zhuo. Wen Situ has a Qibao knife, and he is willing to borrow and manipulate it to assassinate him, although he does not hate it! Cao Lijiu swears an oath and allows him to take the treasure knife with it. ”

Zhang Fan suddenly sat up straight and asked nervously:

"And then? Dong Zhuo won't be slaughtered by Cao Cao, right? ”

Zhang Fan knew that his little butterfly had descended on the Three Kingdoms, and it was difficult to guarantee that it would cause some unknown changes. In case Cao Cao kills Dong Zhuo, wouldn't the previous series of layout plans be a waste of bamboo baskets?

Gongsun Jing replied: "No, according to the instructions of the lord, the spy we planted next to Dong Zhuo suddenly appeared and broke Cao Cao's plan. So Cao Cao pretended to offer a knife and was able to get out of Xiangguo's mansion. Later, Dong Zhuo searched for Cao Cao all over the city. At the last moment, it was with the assistance of the tea division that Cao Cao escaped the search and arrest, and was able to escape back to Qian County smoothly through layers of checkpoints......"

Seeing that Gongsun Jing wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Fan smiled and said:

"You want to ask me, why didn't I fall into the well and kill Cao Cao, but instead save his life?"

Gongsun Jing whispered: "The lord has seen thousands of miles, and he has no last resort, and he is humble, and he asks the lord to forgive his sins......"

The light of wisdom in Zhang Fan's eyes flowed, and he said:

"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have a profound background, although I deliberately suppressed Yuan Shao, but I still can't change the general trend that Yuan Shao will rise rapidly in the short term. If it is not contained, let Yuan Shao develop too fast, once the climate has been established, it will infinitely increase the difficulty of the Northern Expedition in the future......

"So I need to leave an opponent for Yuan Shao, and I can't let his development go smoothly. Otherwise, once the north is pacified, they will inevitably attack the south and covet our land and people......"

Gongsun Jing suddenly realized: "I see, but ...... Can Cao Cao hinder Yuan Shao's expansion? ”

Zhang Fan smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate Cao Mengde, what he can do is much more terrifying than you think......" (To be continued.) )
