Li Wei was defeated, not defeated in the war, but strategically defeated, and the purpose of the campaign was to annex Hanzhong and obtain grain from Hanzhong to alleviate the crisis of food shortage in Chang'an. But now, Li Dao is confronting Liu Yan's army in Fengxian, not to mention the military victory or defeat, just consuming time, money and food here, Li Dao has completely failed.

Dong Zhuo sent a letter and scolded Li Dao, but in this way, Li Dao felt a lot better, and finally Dong Zhuo had to order the withdrawal of the army, while Huang Quan and Zhang Ren followed behind unrelentingly, even if Li Dao retreated to Sanguan, the two still refused to stop.

Dong Zhuo is also helpless, in the final analysis, it is still the food that harms, if the food is sufficient, Dong Zhuo does not mind the long-term confrontation between the two sides, but now it is obviously not suitable to do this kind of thing, and in the end Dong Zhuo had to follow Li Ru's suggestion, withdraw the troops to Chencang, and let go of Sanguan.

Sure enough, after winning the Sanguan, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren stopped, began to build defensive facilities on the Sanguan, and destroyed and set traps everywhere on the road outside the Sanguan, and made up their minds to close the door.

Dong Zhuo's military campaign ended in failure, but the food problem still needs to be solved, and now the drought is getting worse and worse, and the price of grain has not risen to a sky-high price for the time being under the joint efforts of Li Ru, Sima Fang and Lu Zhi, but it has had a fatal impact on the people of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, and many poor families can only sell their land and sell themselves. Others secretly climbed aboard merchant ships on the Yellow River, hoping to go to Kanto in search of a chance to survive.

In addition, Han Sui and Ma Teng also began to urge food. Because of the drought in the northern grasslands, these two guys not only lost a large number of cattle and sheep, but also had to face the hungry Hu people in the north, those hungry and crazy Hu people can even eat people, without food support, Han Sui and Ma Teng can't resist the looting of the Hu people.

The garrisons everywhere are reaching out for food, but where can Dong Zhuo get food. Speaking of which, it seems that only the warehouse of the Yongzhou clan remains.

Dong Zhuo's road is getting narrower and narrower, and the Yongzhou clan is not stupid. Naturally, I can think of what Dong Zhuo will do, once this thing is done, he may not be able to stop it, so as to start a purge of the Yongzhou clan, and the Yongzhou clan believes that Dong Zhuo has never lacked the most courageous power. The question is. In the face of Dong Zhuo, who is becoming more and more dangerous, what should the Yongzhou clan do?

"Wen Xian, tell me, now that the situation is becoming more and more dangerous, how should we deal with it?"

Dong Cheng's words drew everyone's attention to Yang Biao, and there were many people present, including Ma Riyan, Zhao Qi, Chongji, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo, Wang Yilang and others, all of whom were the core strength of the Yongzhou clan.

Yang Biao sighed. Yang Biao belongs to the royalist faction in the Yongzhou family, but Dong Zhuo can be in charge of Yongzhou safely. Yang Biao is not unacceptable, now that the drought is coming, the problem faced by Dong Zhuo Yang Biao naturally knows, if Dong Zhuo just needs food, but no one dares to guarantee that Dong Zhuo will take this opportunity to solve the Yongzhou family once and for all.

"I'm afraid Dong Zhuo wants to take risks in this matter, once and for all1

Ma Riyan stroked his long white beard, and sighed in vain: "It's not possible, but it's certain, since it's going to be chaotic, then it's a complete mess, it's likely that Dong Zhuo will slow down or even stop the relief, let the chaotic people rise up and eat the big households, and then the officials and soldiers will use the suppression of the chaotic people as an excuse to carry out purges."

Everyone's faces changed, Ma Riyan is known for his foresight, his opinion is likely to be the truth, if it weren't for this kind of emergency, Ma Riyan would not take the initiative to get involved with everyone.

"This, how good is this! It is better for us to take the initiative to open a position and give relief to alleviate the riots1

"It's useless, if Dong Zhuo has already made up his mind, he will naturally have a way to provoke a riot among the hungry."

"So, what should I do? Can you only wait for death? ”

"Rather than this, it is better to strike a blow at Bolang, and in addition to this thief, return the Han a clear sky1

"How can this be done, the defenders and guards in the city are all Dong Zhuo's cronies."

"As the saying goes, as long as Dong Zhuo dies, his subordinates must have their own opinions, and then we will divide and win them over."

Yang Biao saw that everyone was getting more and more excited, as if he could really destroy Dong Zhuo and return to power, if it was really that simple, Dong Zhuo would have died a long time ago.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to succeed in this matter, you must have another condition to cooperate, otherwise your ideas will be difficult to realize."

"On what terms?"

Ma Riyan raised his eyes and said, "Sima Fang and Lu Zhi 1."

"That's right, if Dong Zhuo died, it seems that we would be able to avoid the catastrophe, but in fact, the armies in various places have lost control, in order to protect themselves, they will definitely get food first, and then our people will suffer faster, what else is possible?"

"We can let the Son of Heaven issue an edict to appease"

"We even killed Dong Zhuo, will they still believe us? If some of them shouted for revenge for Dong Taishi, they would surely retake Chang'an with military might, and then there would be a better excuse for purging us1

"What does this have to do with Sima Fang1

"Sima Fang and Lu Zhi have a good reputation, and they have a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo dies, these two people will be in charge of the army and guarantee the safety of Dong Zhuo's old generals, maybe they will be able to avoid the catastrophe of chaos."

"What Wen Xian said is very true."

"Isn't that a wedding dress for someone else?"

Yang Biao and Ma Riyan glanced at each other, in fact, there is still a risk here, that is, how big is Sima Fang's ambition, and will he take advantage of this rebellion to not only push Dong Zhuo down, but even directly purge the clan, so as to replace Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.

Even if there is such a risk, now the clan is facing the risk of being completely purged by Dong Zhuo, or Dong Zhuo will be destroyed by the army after his death, compared to these two. Even if Sima Fang is ambitious, he will stop in moderation, because he does not have the foundation behind Dong Zhuo. Don't dare to do too much, in this way, the Yongzhou clan may be suppressed, but at least it will not be purged, this is the common choice of these two wise men after making a trade-off.

"This is also a helpless choice, and compared to the first two possibilities, perhaps this is the best option."

Ma Riyan explained for Yang Biao. These words silenced everyone for a while.

"So, how can you get rid of Dong Zhuo?"

"Dead! Arranging for the dead to do it in the palace still needs to be done by Lord Dong Cheng. Only by using your identity as an uncle can you arrange the dead man into the palace unknowingly, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the Son of Heaven to summon Dong Zhuo. ”

"You mean the palace maid?"

"Yes, who has the right woman. At this point, you can't hide your secrets anymore. ”

"It's a pity that Wang Yun's righteous daughter is not in Chang'an. Otherwise, it would be most appropriate for her to do it. ”

"There are so many beautiful women in the world, don't worry about this, I can provide two."

"I also have the right woman in my family."

"It's always right to prepare a few more, then Dong Zhuo is greedy and lustful, and he will definitely be able to make contributions in one fell swoop when the time comes."

"Sima Fang there"

"Go down." Yang Biao undertook this difficult task, in fact, Yang Biao also wanted to sell a favor to Sima Fang, hoping that there would be a time when things would happen. Sima Fang was able to show mercy to his subordinates because of this.

One by one, the crowd carefully discussed the details and how to avoid the turmoil. How to deal with possible unexpected situations, etc., will not disperse until late at night.

Dong Cheng returned home, the mood is still very excited, for Dong Cheng, the return of the Son of Heaven to power may mean that the authority of the Dong family will become stronger day by day, although there is a crisis in front of him, but the crisis also contains opportunities, thinking of the results that this sacrifice can bring, Dong Cheng is excited and hot.

After pulling the concubine upside down, Dong Cheng felt that his blood gradually stabilized, lying on the couch and kneading the slippery female body, Dong Cheng's face still couldn't suppress a faint smile.

"The lord is really in a good mood today, but the concubine heard outsiders say that Yongzhou will be in chaos, isn't the lord worried?"

"Huh? Where did you hear that? ”

"It's what the people who went out to buy said, and I heard that I learned it from well-informed aliens."

Dong Cheng was relieved: "Hehe, those strangers are very well-informed, don't worry about those, even if there is any turmoil, it is only turmoil that will be beneficial to us, peace of mind, maybe after this time, my lord and I will have more authority, in the future, hehe, you will try to give birth to a son to my lord, I can't say that I can inherit some family business, haha"

The concubine's eyes lit up, and she snorted: "Then it has to be fulfilled by the master.1

"Haha okay, okay, then 1 more

After the clouds and rain, Dong Cheng fell asleep deeply, the night was already very deep, but the concubine moved quietly, under the dim candlelight, the beautiful and slender body looked so energetic, and the fat body around him contrasted sharply.

I saw the concubine sit up, and then pushed Dong Cheng, and saw that he had fallen asleep, so he slipped down, put on a thin coat, and then walked lightly to the outer room, knowing that Suo Suo didn't know what he was doing, and then there was a sound of water, which seemed to be unraveling, but in the night sky, a gray pigeon had already flown out under the cover of the sound of water, flying towards the bright starry sky.

No one knew about these things, no one noticed, and it didn't seem to have happened. Dong Cheng and the others continued to advance steadily but rapidly according to the plan, all the arrangements were surprisingly smooth, the palace maid had been sent to the palace, and the preparations for the periphery had been made.

Sima Fang and Lu Zhi's side were also persuaded by Yang Biao, once things changed, they would stand up and stabilize the situation, and now everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed.

On this day, as usual, Dong Zhuo sent a fire in the court, for the sake of food, but in the end it was still over, after Dong Zhuo announced his retreat from the dynasty, a small yellow door caught up with Dong Zhuo, saying that the Son of Heaven had something, this situation is not uncommon, the little Son of Heaven encountered something incomprehensible, he would consult Dong Zhuo alone after the dispersal of the dynasty, Dong Zhuo was also happy to do these things.
