Lu Bu led his troops to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the undercurrent in Chang'an City immediately surged. The big families who were shocked by Wang Yun before, the generals of Xiliang who had just surrendered and were dismissed from military power, and the clowns who didn't know what force they belonged to, were all ready to move.

For this situation, Wang Yun was not unprepared, he left Lu Bu's first and most capable two generals, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, respectively. However, the deterrent power of these two people is obviously far inferior to Lu Bu, and the people who should be active are still active, but they are very hidden.

Wang Yun was not unaware of this situation, but he didn't expect so many people to want to overturn him. If you want to find out so many people before they launch, it is simply impossible, the mansions of many wealthy nobles are not accessible to anyone, and many people's bodies are not searchable casually, once they can't catch the handle, these people will back, even Wang Yun can't hold it.

In desperation, Wang Yun had no choice but to enter the palace to see Li Xiang. But what he didn't expect was that when he saw Li Xiang, before he could speak, Li Xiang asked people to send more than a dozen pieces of silk cloth. Wang Yun opened it and found that it was densely packed with people's names, and it also listed the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the final request of the entire group, or which of them spanned several groups, what role each played, and so on.

More than a dozen fast silk cloths are more than a dozen groups. Of course, there is not such chaos in Chang'an City, there are only two or three large groups, and the reason why Li Xiang lists so many is because people in a group often have different ideas. For example, the Xiliang Army Group, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen and others thought the same, that is, to completely overthrow Wang Yun and kill him to seize the power of the court. In addition, there are Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan. felt that it was too risky to overthrow Wang Yun, so it was better to retreat to the next best. Just get a little bit more good. It is for this reason that Li Xiang distinguishes them. Each becomes a group.

The two men disagreed and quarreled with each other. Although there are many people who agree with the overthrow of Wang Yun, they are all cut by Wang Yun, and no matter how loud their voices are, it is useless. Although there are few people who disagree, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, the uncle and nephew, have military power in their hands, and their words carry more weight. Therefore, it was Zhang Ji's side who had the upper hand.

A similar situation is even more obvious in the group of high-ranking officials in the court, Yang Biao is an opinion, and Dong Cheng is an opinion. Ma Riyan is another opinion, and even Cai Yong has gathered a group of people around him, and it is another opinion, and it is a mess. However, these people are all mature politicians, and they quickly agreed that Wang Yun should not be allowed to take power alone, and it is only right for everyone to share.

However, whether it is the Xiliang Army Group or the Family Group, it is nothing. The most troublesome thing is another group that looks inconspicuous, but is the most ruthless, the princes' group!

This group included Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and other princes who supported the army and respected themselves. In their opinion. It's good for the central government to be in chaos, or it's good to be in the hands of stupid people, but it just can't really be re-established. If the central government regains its authority. Not to mention that the rights they already have will definitely shrink, and maybe it will not end well. Therefore. Wang Yun is in power, it is better to let Li Dao and Guo Yan take power.

The Xiliang Army Group is a group of martial artists. The only two strategists, Li Ru was also killed on the day Dong Zhuo was killed, Jia Xu took refuge in Wang Yun, and the rest of the people still have the ability to plan the overall situation? So their threat is minimal. Although there is no shortage of strategists in the Shijia Group, they all serve in the court, and if Chang'an City is in chaos, they will not get any benefits, so they also try their best to seize power on the premise of keeping the situation stable. But the princes' group is different, they are no longer in the court, nor are they short of strategists, they want to make Chang'an as chaotic as possible, so they are the most dangerous.

After Wang Yun read the list, his face was silent, but he was also angry in his heart. But again, if there is no definite evidence, these people can't move, otherwise it will cause an uproar, and he will be ousted from power.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Yun didn't come up with any good way, so he had to ask: "What do I think these people should do?" If you have something to say, you might as well say it bluntly. ”

Obviously, he asked Li Xiang for advice, but Wang Yun's words seemed to give you a chance to perform. Li Xiang pursed his lips in his heart, but his face was equally impassive, and said: "Father-in-law, I understand your difficulties, but I can guarantee that these people are not wronged. If they all die in an accident, I don't know ......"

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Died in an accident?" Can it not be exposed? ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Father-in-law, rest assured, with my ability, there will be no accidents." Unless, there are immortals to investigate. ”

Wang Yun nodded and said, "That's good." However, you can't kill them all, because in that case, even if others can't find out something, they will be suspicious. ”

Li Xiang said: "Of course you can't kill them all, if you kill them all, there will be few people in the court." In the end, who deserves to die and who can live, you have to be old to check it. ”

Wang Yun was in a good mood, and he was not polite at the moment, so he picked up the pen and ticked it off the list. Li Xiang took a look and found that Wang Yun was also ruthless enough, almost all the leaders of several groups were hooked in, and almost all of those groups with a malicious attitude towards him were included in the must-kill list.

After Wang Yun finished checking the election, Li Xiang couldn't help but persuade: "Father-in-law, just like you said, no matter how these people died, their sudden large-scale death will definitely cause shocks. One mistake may lead to a catastrophe. Why don't you divide these people into several grades, those that must be killed, those that can be killed or not, and those that are warned to see the after-effects, so that I can operate better. ”

Wang Yun understood what Li Xiang meant, thought about it for a while, and then brought a new piece of silk cloth again, and divided the list he had just checked into three files and copied it. It's just that the one that must kill has the most names, and it seems that he is really determined to kill.

But Li Xiang saw the names of Ma Riyan, Yang Biao, and Dong Cheng in this file, which made him a little disappointed, it seems that Wang Yun's desire for power is really strong, and anyone who wants to share power with him can't tolerate it. He wanted to persuade him a few more words, but in the end he couldn't help it.

After this period of getting along, Li Xiang also has a lot of understanding of Wang Yun, this person's wisdom and talent are not lacking, but he is also very stubborn, and after making up his mind, he will never change his mind. Before, Li Xiang was able to let him not kill Cai Yong and recruit the generals of Xiliang, because the matter had not happened at that time, and Wang Yun had not yet made a decision, so Li Xiang was persuaded by him. But now it's different, Wang Yun has already made up his mind to kill these people, and it is useless for Li Xiang to persuade him.

Since persuasion was useless, Li Xiang simply stopped persuading. Anyway, he is the one who really did it, how can he kill him, does he still need to listen to Wang Yun? Let Wang Yun make a list, just for reference. Li Xiang positions himself as a chess player, not a killer.

After Wang Yun left, Li Xiang picked up the list and looked at the names of the people in the must-kill column, the first ones listed were not Ma Riyan and others who threatened Wang Yun's status, nor were they the generals of Xiliang, but Yuan Shao sent to Chang'an for trial, Cao Cao sent Xi Zhicai and Cao Hong, and Kuai Yue sent by Liu Biao.

Li Xiang agrees with this point. These princes did not want the authority in their hands to be re-established by the central authorities, which was no different from the anti-thieves. Since they are looking for death, Li Xiang doesn't mind fulfilling them!

However, there are some differences among these people. Yuan Shao and Liu Biao really wanted to make Chang'an chaotic, although they only sent one strategist to the horse, but they spared no effort when doing things. Cao Cao is a little different, he doesn't have much loyalty to the Han now, but there is still a little, he sent Xi Zhicai and Cao Hong, most of them for Yuan Shao's sake. Yuan Shao wanted to make Chang'an chaotic, Cao Cao, who was still Yuan Shao's younger brother at this time, was the closest to Chang'an City, so he naturally had to contribute. But when doing things, it is the slogans that are shouted loudly, and the actions are slow and so-so.

Li Xiang thought about it and decided to save some face for Cao Cao. Xi Zhicai is not lightly ill, and he will not live long, so he will simply fulfill him. Cao Hong, you can let him go back, after all, this guy is Cao Cao's brother, and if he dies in Chang'an, Cao Cao's remaining loyalty will be exhausted.

With a decision, Li Xiang immediately got ready and monitored the movements of the three of them with Tianyantong. Coincidentally, in the afternoon of the same day, the three of them made an appointment to go out of the city together. They also went with several heads of families they contacted, including the later famous Zhong Xuan.

Li Xiang saw that this opportunity couldn't be better, so he immediately asked Miao Wu to dress up as himself and stay in the palace, and followed the judge and the others in a flash. After they all rode horses, and after leaving the city twenty miles, they set up tents in a place near mountains and rivers and prepared a picnic. Seeing this, Li Xiang immediately used Tianyantong to find two wolves in the woods and lured them to the place where they were picnic.

Naturally, it was impossible for the judges and others to come for a picnic, but to get together and talk to each other. Li Xiang secretly cast a spell, drawing water vapor from the stream, turning into a fog and gradually dispersing. Although the fog is not very thick, it can also obscure some vision, which is convenient for Li Xiang's next actions.

The two wolves finally arrived, and they were under the control of Li Xiang, regardless of the fact that there were more than twenty guards around the trial and the others, and they jumped out of the woods with a roar and rushed straight to the trial and the others who were discussing things.

Cao Hong was patrolling around with his guards, and when he saw a wild wolf appearing, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to intercept him. But he saw that he was in front of a wolf, and he didn't want to cut it with a knife, but he didn't find anything, and the wolf jumped past him!

Not only Cao Hong, but also the other guards. Some of them slashed with knives, some with arrows, but all of them failed. It was too late for them to intercept again, and the two wolves had already pounced on them.

Although the judges and others were strategists, the literati of this era were not powerless, and they all drew their swords to defend themselves. However, they were also the same as those guards, their swords fell one after another, and then they heard a miserable scream, and Xi Zhicai was first kissed by a wolf, and a hole was pulled out of his neck!
