"Who's in the car? Get out of the car and get checked! Lu Bu held the Fang Tian painting halberd, rode the red rabbit horse, and shouted.

"Lord Guangluxun has come just in time! The old husband Yuan Kui and his eldest brother Yuan Feng were kidnapped by thieves. Fortunately, thanks to the courage of the general, he was able to escape. Hurry up and escort me back to Luoyang! Yuan Kui lifted the curtain and walked out.

Lu Bu was taken aback, and suddenly became confused. Judging from the direction of the carriage, it was indeed heading towards Luoyang City. But Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng should also stay away from Luoyang and flee to the Tiger Prison, right? Could it really be as Yuan Kui said, it was his family general who drove away the thieves and saved them? Looking at the guards around the convoy, they were all flowing, more like gangsters, and they didn't seem to be the same kind of characters as the assassin.

The gangsters who escorted Yuan Kui were very cooperative in discarding the knives, guns and clubs in their hands, although Lu Bu was full of murderous intent, but he also disdained to deal with these unarmed gangsters.

"Escort all back to Luoyang and listen to the Taishi's fate!" Lu Bu waved his hand, and the cavalry under his command shouted and escorted the convoy back to Luoyang.

……

It is said that after Dong Zhuo was injured by Wu Fu, he fled back to the Taishi Mansion in a hurry before Fan Chou's guards. The imperial doctor, who was kidnapped by the sergeant, has not yet taken care of the wound. There was another urgent report: the palace was attacked by thieves, and the left middle lang killed Li Dao, and the right middle lang killed Guo Yan! Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was unharmed, but Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, and the Empress Dowager He were robbed by thieves!

was so angry that Dong Zhuo kicked the imperial doctor over at that time, called over the carriage, and hurried to the palace!

Dong Zhuo stood in front of the Jiade Palace, which had been burned to ruins, his face pale.

"Zhang Ji, are you sure that this secret passage is under the ruins?"

"Taishi, after the siege of the Jiade Hall was not ordered, there was not a single living person in the hall!" Zhang Ji replied.

"Wenyou, what do you think?" Dong Zhuo turned to ask Li Rudao.

Li Ru came in a hurry from Taixue. Previously, he had been preparing speeches for Dong Zhuo and recruiting available talents, and he had relaxed his control over Luoyang.

"The assassination of the Taishi, the Tongtuo Street case, the bloody battle in the palace, the three major events at the same time, it can't be a coincidence! The forces involved in the three major events are now mainly two. First, it was the party members headed by the Yuan family. According to the confession of Wu Fu, the lieutenant of the city gate, before Yuan Shao, the lieutenant general, was a guest of Yuan Shao, and the two had a good relationship. The second is the relatives headed by the He family. The thieves who attacked the inside of the palace, claiming to be the face armor army, made it a new weapon unique to Nanyang County: the crossbow, the robbed emperor Liu Wei and the queen mother He are all from the clan, so it is not difficult to determine the identity. ”

"Will the party members join forces with their relatives?" Dong Zhuo is most worried about this.

"Unlikely! The former general He Jin died at the hands of Yuan Shu, the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, and the Wei general He Xian hated him to the bone, and it was impossible to join forces. Li Ru analyzed.

"It can't be a coincidence, and it can't be a joint effort, but why would the forces of the two factions strike at the same time?" Dong Zhuo was puzzled.

"It's precisely because we don't join forces that we can explain some of the weirdness! For example, Lord Lu replied that when he intercepted Yuan's convoy, he found that the convoy was walking in the direction of returning to Luoyang. By interrogating the convoy guards, this can be assured. In other words, the person who kidnapped Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng was most likely the power under the command of the He family. Their move was a deliberate attempt to provoke hatred between the Taishi and the party. ”

"But how can we explain Wu Fu's assassination of Master Ben?"

"Ru also tortured the soldiers of the captured captain of the city gate, who did not know that Wu Fu was going to assassinate the Taishi before going to Kaiyang Gate. There is no doubt that Wu Fu is a member of the party, and he also has a grudge against the Taishi. But if he really wants to assassinate the Taishi, he should bury another assassin in the team......"

At that time, Lu Bu and the others were attracted by the first Assassin and left, and Wu Fu was able to get close. If there is another assassin......" Dong Zhuo shuddered as soon as he thought about it.

"So, it's very likely that Woofu was improvised! There was no connection between him and the highly skilled Assassin. Li Ru concluded.

"According to Wen You's explanation, the wind and rain in Luoyang this time were all done by the forces of the He clan in Nanyang?"

"Master Mingjian! The truth is not far from ten! However...... "Li Ru changed his words, "it doesn't matter if it was done by the He family's unilateral forces. The important thing is that Wu Fu jumped, which shows that the Luoyang party is still very unconvinced by the Taishi......"

Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Wen You's words are reasonable!" Nanyang Tujiazi don't look at the fierce jump, when this Taishi frees up his hands and the army advances, he can be punished by the nine clans! And these party members...... Like a pack of wolves that can't be raised, it's tiresome! ”

"Since they can't be raised, Taishi might as well give them a little color to see! The butcher's knife of my Xiliang Army has not seen blood for some time! Li Ru's slender eyes shone with a breathtaking light, don't look at him dressed as a Confucian, his bloodthirsty nature is not weaker than Dong Zhuo at all, and even stronger than Dong Zhuo. Many of the killings of the Xiliang Army are inseparable from Li Ru's advice. Increase the combat effectiveness of the army through killing, and strengthen the control of the Xiliang army over the local people through fear. Li Ru moved the theory of dealing with Shaomin on the border to Luoyang and to the court. In the short term, it may be able to deter people's hearts and minds, and the effect is good, but in the long run, this is the military government model, and it is the beginning of chaos in the world. But Li Ru used this set to help Dong Zhuo leap to become the most powerful person in the whole world, like a beast that had already eaten human flesh, how could he stop there?

"This matter is fully entrusted to Wen You! Make sure these damn party members have a long memory! ”

"Confucianism, you will not fail in your mission!" Li Ru said casually.

"What about the deposed emperor and the queen mother who escaped? Will it have an impact on the Taishi? Zhang Ji asked beside him.

Dong Zhuo also looked at Li Ru, although Luoyang's party talent is the top priority, but the escape of the abolished emperor is not a trivial matter after all, and it cannot be ignored.

"Since the thieves have diverted our attention to the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass in the east of Luoyang, then the direction of their escape must be the direction of the Yique Pass in the west of Luoyang. After Guangluxun Lu Bu returned, the Taishi could order him to lead the elite cavalry to Yique Pass to pursue him! ”

"Good!" Dong Zhuo agreed, "But the thieves have been on the run for a long time, what should we do if we can't recover the abolished emperor and the Empress Dowager He?" ”

"It's not difficult! Taishi might as well declare to the outside world that the abolished emperor and the Empress Dowager He felt ashamed of the common people and hanged themselves! Li Ru said with a cruel smile.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly: "Wonderful, wonderful!" As a result, people all over the world thought that the deposed emperor and the Empress Dowager He were dead. When Tu Jiazi returns to Nanyang, if the identities of the two are announced, they will be questioned a lot! And take advantage of this opportunity, Ben Taishi can send troops to become famous, wave his army to the south, and exterminate the chaotic party in one fell swoop! ”
