Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Yuan Family is Slaughtered

This news is shocking, but it only shocks others, and Wen Chou has long known that this will happen.

That is, Dong Zhuo killed more than 50 people such as Taifu Yuan Kui, Taifu Yuan Ji and Yuan family babies,—— all the Yuan clansmen in Beijing, no matter how old or young, were killed by Dong Zhuo.

When the news reached Yangzhai, Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Xun Yu, and Xun Yan were all shocked. Xun Yu came to find Wen Chou when he got the news, and he said to Wen Chou indignantly: "Dong Thief is perverse, he actually punished Yuan's family, even the foot mouth baby is not spared, cruel and unreasonable, heaven and man are angry!" ”

Xun Yan had a worried face and said: "Yuan's people in Beijing are all punished, Ming Gong, will Sikong be?" "Sikong" is said to be Xun Shuang.

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Sikong is driving from the car, now in Chang'an, not in Luoyang, Sikong is wise and far-sighted, I heard that he is friendly with Situ Wanggong, and it is expected that there should be no danger." ”

Xun Shuang did not stay in Luoyang, but went to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, he wanted to kill Xun Shuang, but he couldn't kill him for a while, or in other words, I'm afraid he couldn't kill him.

Why do you say that you can't kill it, or even can't kill it? Because of two reasons. One is because of Wang Yun.

The Son of Heaven left Luoyang on February 17, arrived in Chang'an on the fifth day of the first month of March, from the ministers of the line, there are those with lofty names, and there are noble ones, and if they talk about "both name and reality", there are both high names, noble positions, and real power, but now there is only Wang Yun alone, Wang Yun is now Situ, and at the same time is Shang Shuling, Situ is one of the three dukes, only under the Taiwei, the status is high, Shang Shuling is in charge of Shang Shutai, is the most powerful position in the court, and now Chang'an is entrusted to Wang Yun in matters of all sizes inside and outside the court, and he manages the government outside. Plotting the royal family, acting in the style of ministers, and winning the trust of courtiers and the Son of Heaven, he is the out-and-out first person in the Chang'an Dynasty today,—— so to speak, such as Yang Biao, Huang Wan and so on, these famous people in the scholars. has been degraded and suppressed by Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun is also a celebrity known for his integrity and integrity, but why can he sit in such a high position? For no other reason, just because he has a different style of acting from Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others, he has always welcomed Dong Zhuo, sycophants, and pretended to obey, so he won Dong Zhuo's trust.

Wang Yun has gained Dong Zhuo's trust, and Xun Shuang was his former "subordinate". Xun Shuang wrote a letter to Wen Chou some time ago, and vaguely mentioned in the letter, saying that he was secretly discussing with Wang Yun, He Yan and others, and wanted to jointly punish Dong, in other words, this means that the relationship between Xun Shuang and Wang Yun is extremely close, and the two are "one party". Then with Wang Yun covering up and saying good things outside, Dong Zhuo is dissatisfied with Wen Chou. I think it shouldn't affect Xun Shuang.

The second is because of Xun Shuang himself. When the party was imprisoned, Xun Shuang also suffered from it, and he was imprisoned, and he had been away from Hanbin for more than ten years, so many years. He has seen and heard, personally experienced the fierce and bloody political struggle between the DPRK and China, and has long known the obscure way of advancing and retreating, and has studied "Yi" intensively, and is a well-known master of Yi in contemporary times. is even more aware of the art of self-preservation, so on the surface, he has never deliberately targeted Dong Zhuo, and sometimes he will "follow power", like Wang Yun, to welcome Dong Zhuo with two sentences, so Dong Zhuo is not very disgusted and hated him.

Xun Yan and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and both of them agreed with Tian Feng's judgment in their hearts, and their faces were slightly worried.

Tian Feng pondered for a moment and said to Wen Chou: "Yuan's sentence is more than 50 mouths, this is a tragic thing in the world, but Ming Gong, Ming Gong and General Sun have been discussing the second time to fight Dong, I secretly think that for Dong, Yuan's punishment is not an opportunity." ”

Wen Chou said: "Yuan Hao, you mean? ”

"Not bad. This time the Kwantung group rose up to discuss Dong, Yuan Benchu was the leader of the alliance, the Yuan brothers were divided in the north and south, one took Jizhou as the capital, and the other took Nanyang for use, such as the strength, he two should be the strongest, and the last time he hit Dong, Yuan Highway did not move, although Yuan Benchu came out of thousands of people, but it was useless, now, Yuan's people in Beijing were all punished, Yuan Taifu, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway's father, Yuan Taifu, Yuan Highway's brother, the country's hatred, the two of them should not still wait and see, still unwilling to fight, right? ”

Yuan Kui is Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's father, Yuan Ji is Yuan Shu's brother,—— Yuan Shao is passed on to Yuan Cheng, he and Yuan Shu are half-brothers, Yuan Ji is called his brother, in fact, he is also his half-brother, so Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji were killed, for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, it is outside of state affairs, and now he has a blood feud with Dong Zhuo.

According to common sense, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu shouldn't still wait and see without fighting this time, right? Wen Chou knew that more than 50 members of the Yuan family, including Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji, were killed, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu still did not send troops.

This seems ruthless, but how many people who want to fight for the world will put family affairs first? In order to fight for the world, Gaozu didn't even care about his father, wife, and children, but Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji were just the fathers and brothers of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers?

Tian Feng probably knew this, so although he said in his words, "For Dong alone, Yuan's punishment is not an opportunity", but there was no special look on his expression, just a faint expression.

Wen Chou said: "For the country, how can you take care of your family? Yuan's original intention was in Jizhou, Yuan Highway wanted Jingzhou, and now Ji and Jing are undecided, and they have not completely fallen into the hands of the two of them. …… However, I can preach the text with Wu Chenghou, and in the name of Kuang Tianzi and Yuan's revenge, I call for all walks of life to raise troops and fight Dong thieves together. ”

Tian Feng nodded and said, "If things can be done, it is the best; If it doesn't work out, the world can know who is the most loyal person. ”

This is Tian Feng's real purpose.

As the leader of the Dong League, the clansmen were killed, but if they still stood still and did not leave Hanoi, Yuan Shao's reputation would inevitably be slightly damaged, and if Wen Chou and Sun Jian spread the word to the world at this time, in contrast, their reputation might be able to be improved to a certain extent because of this.

And the reason why he said that he was with Sun Jian was because Wen Chou, as Lieutenant Changshan, could barely be regarded as a prince all the way, but his prestige was not up to the point of spreading the world, in comparison, now he is just able to sit on an equal footing with ordinary princes, that is, he is still a line behind in the face of Er Yuan and Han Fu. Therefore, he needs to do this with Sun Jian in order to maximize the impact of this incident.

As for this proposal, Sun Jian agreed, although he was not very interested in literary affairs, but he was still happy to do something that could obviously increase his fame. (To be continued.) )
