At this moment, Luoyang is in the city.

Wang Yun was sitting in the study, looking at the white cloth in his palm with a black face.

There seemed to be a look of confusion on his face.

After breakfast today, he moved around the courtyard for a while before coming to the study to deal with official business.

As a result, as soon as I sat down in front of the table, I saw this strip of cloth pressed under the bamboo slip.

The above content directly startled him.

"The assassination of Dong failed, I have fled Luoyang, I hope Situ takes care, there will be a period later!"

He only arranged for one person to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and that was Cao Cao, so it is self-evident who sent this strip of cloth.

Wang Yun didn't expect Cao Cao's movements to be so fast.

And the life is so big.

actually survived after assassinating Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang City.

This is absolutely impossible without some ability.

It's a pity that the assassination failed.

And he can't slip away like Cao Cao, so he can only continue to serve as Situ in this city.

The risk comes up all at once!

After all, Dong Zhuo was assassinated, and he must have been very angry afterwards, and he would definitely post wanted notices everywhere to arrest Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao is not caught, then everything is okay, his identity can be kept secret, and he will not be implicated by Dong Zhuoshun's teng.

But what if Cao Cao is caught?

In case this guy is a lax mouthful, he will be tortured and punished, and everything will be recruited.

Including himself, the old ministers who plotted in a secret room at the beginning will become Dong Zhuo's ghost.

"Phew!"

Wang Yun couldn't help but take a sip.

You said that this Cao Mengde was full of enthusiasm at the beginning, and he went to assassinate Dong Zhuo regardless of it.

If you succeed, that's fine.

If you fail, your kid will die directly!

As a result, it is now half-dead, leaving a big hidden danger outside, and I don't know when it will explode.

Knowing this, he shouldn't have had any assassination plan in the first place, was Dong Zhuo so good at assassination?

When Wang Yun was panicking.

The door to the study was suddenly pushed open.

Then a subordinate walked in briskly.

"Fujun, I have explored several places, the Cao family's mansion has been emptied, and there is not even a caretaker."

"In addition, when I arrived, I saw a group of soldiers knocking on the door, and it seemed that they wanted to see if there was anyone else in the house."

"At the same time, I heard that the Upper East Gate of the inner city and the outer gates along the route were closed for more than an hour today, and no one was allowed to approach, and at the same time troops were coming in and out of there."

Wang Yun was even more sure of one fact.

What is written on the strip of cloth is true!

Cao Cao, this kid, is also shrewd, and he arranged for his family to leave in advance, and there was no one left, and that team of soldiers was sent by Dong Zhuo to seal up the Cao family.

After today's assassination, he escaped from Dong Zhuo's side by luck, and it is estimated that he left from the Upper East Gate, so Dong Zhuo wanted to block it and send a large army to catch it along the way.

Everything is connected!

Wang Yun felt that his inference was completely correct.

But the more so, the more dangerous he became.

Without saying a word, he hurriedly put the strip of cloth on the candle flame and lit it, burning it into a cloud of black ashes.

Then he instructed his subordinates: "Don't go out in the next few days, hide in the house for a few days, no matter who asks, you have to say that you haven't gone out today, and you haven't inquired about any city gates or Cao family's affairs." ”

Wang Yun made up his mind to hide.

Cut off all ties with Cao Cao.

What Cao Mengde?

I'm so unfamiliar with him!

As for the Seven Star Treasure Knife or something, I'm sorry, that's a rumor, my family has never had this thing, it's a family heirloom of the Cao Cao family!

…………

And at the same time that Wang Yun was panicking.

Dong Zhuo, who was located in the North Palace, was also listening to the reports of his soldiers, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes calm, obviously his mood fluctuated a lot.

"Are you saying that the Cao family has gone to the empty building, the door of the entire mansion is closed, and there is not even a person to guard the house?"

The half-kneeling general below hurriedly nodded yes.

"The subordinates took a team of people to Cao's house to take a look, the small doors of the gate were all sealed, and I listened to it, it was quiet inside, there was no movement at all, it didn't look like someone was living inside."

"Dong Gong, you said that you must not be rude or trespass, so your subordinates just looked around and didn't dare to push the door and break in."

"But according to what we found according to the clues, the subordinates who were originally in the Cao family helpers said that except for those who voluntarily stayed in Luoyang, everyone else left together."

Waved his hand to signal the general to stand back.

Dong Zhuo reclined on the throne.

The whole person's brow furrowed even deeper.

"People go to the empty building, and there is no one left."

"Could it be that this Cao Ziyu had the idea of never going back after leaving Luoyang, so he took away his relatives and subordinates in the house?"

You can't blame Dong Zhuo for being suspicious.

After all, that's what Cao Ang thought.

What he did was too obvious, and some of it was superficial, so Dong Zhuo would inevitably have doubts after hearing the news.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo's eyes began to flash with a dangerous light, as if he was about to make some kind of decision that was not favorable to Cao Ang.

Li Ru, who had been standing beside him and was silent, spoke.

"Ming Gong, I have a different opinion on this matter, so Cao Ang may have another reason."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo looked at the chief strategist under his command.

There was an inquiring look in his eyes.

He still trusts Li Ru very much, after all, he is his top think tank, and if Li Ru does not suggest many decisions, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will not be able to do it at all.

What's more, Li Ru and Cao Ang have never had a friendship, and the two may not have said a word.

In this way, Li Ru's analysis is even more worthy of listening to and is very credible.

I saw Dong Zhuo looking at himself.

Li Ru arched his hand first.

Then he said: "Cao Ang's subordinates have not been in contact with him, and they don't know much about him, but you have said it. ”

"The strategy to hold Yuan Shao hostage was proposed by this person, and he also explained to you the dangers of letting Yuan Shao go, I don't know if what his subordinates said was wrong?"

Dong Zhuo nodded.

He did tell Li Ru about it.

And it was only when Li Ru was also sure that there were advantages and disadvantages to this matter, so he resolutely decided to carry it out.

"Yes, so what?"

"So Cao Ang's move is already tantamount to cutting himself off from Yuan Shao's camp, he is dragging Yuan Shao into the fire pit by doing so, if I were Yuan Benchu, I would definitely not spare him!"

"If the world is divided into two camps, one faction is Ming Gong and the other faction is against you, then Cao Ang now only has one camp to choose from."

"So in the eyes of his subordinates, he won't be so stupid as to never go back, it's not pleasing to both sides."

Justified.

Dong Zhuo thought so.

Doubts are gone.

The dangerous aura that had been brewing disappeared at this moment, and the tense face also showed a smile at this moment.

"Thanks to Wen You, I solved my doubts, otherwise I would have almost wronged my son."

"It's just that since he doesn't want to go back forever, then why take everyone away and leave no one behind?"

A different color flashed in Li Ru's eyes.

Then he bowed and replied.

"Maybe he's scared!"

Dong Zhuo was stunned

……

"Scared?"

"What is he afraid of?"

Dong Zhuo was a little confused by Li Ru's headless words.

was squeezed by the horizontal flesh on his face, causing his eyes to become smaller and smaller, full of big doubts.

And Li Ru is still bowing.

said in a flat tone: "I don't know what the specific subordinates are, but there is a guess, that is, it is related to the recent chaos inside and outside Luoyang City." ”

"According to the report received by his subordinates, the soldiers and horses of the Liangzhou headquarters under the command of Ming Gong have been wreaking havoc inside and outside Luoyang City recently."

"Looting people's homes, robbing people's daughters, breaking down houses and demolishing houses, burning, killing, looting, and even killing people on the street, these things happen from time to time."

"It's just that because it's your descendant, no one in Luoyang City dares to take care of it, and even your subordinates are not very easy to stop this."

Speaking of this, Li Ru paused slightly.

Raising his head and looking at Dong Zhuo's darkening face, his heart was a little relaxed.

If you are willing to listen and be angry because of it, then you will prove that there is salvation.

It's not corrupted to the point where you don't listen to anything.

The reason why he stood up today to relieve Cao Ang.

One of the purposes is, of course, to keep his partner, in case Dong Zhuo overturns in the future, he Li Ru will have to rely on Cao Ang to get out.

Another purpose is to warn Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo must be made aware that such an indulgence of the rebellious soldiers in Luoyang City will lead to the situation gradually getting out of control, and even pay the price.

It is definitely not possible to speak out and admonish, but it will make Dong Zhuo think that he is interfering with the army and is suspected of crossing the line, which is absolutely untouchable.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to borrow Cao Ang to talk about things.

……

"Go on!"

When Li Ru's thoughts drifted slightly, Dong Zhuo's cold voice came.

He hurriedly continued.

"Cao Ang himself is a capable person, and he has a slight thin face in Ming Gong, if others are in Luoyang City, then naturally there is no need to worry, no one dares to collide with the people in his house."

"But now that he has left Luoyang, leaving such a big mansion there, in case one day those red-eyed ** sons rush into Cao's house regardless of it."

"No one can say anything, it's nothing more than looting some worthless things, but if there are people, then those who stay in the mansion will suffer."

"The subordinates guessed that Cao Ang took away all the subordinates who were willing to leave because of this, after all, he had served for many years, and he couldn't take such a risk."

Li Ru finished speaking.

There was a sudden silence in the entire hall.

I only heard Dong Zhuo's snorting and panting sound, and his huge body trembled.

A sinister aura arose from Dong Zhuo's body, and it was obvious that he was already angry at the moment.

It is more accurate to say that it is not so much anger as embarrassment, Dong Zhuo feels that he has lost face.

Although the relationship between him and Cao Ang is a transaction.

But everyone works together fairly and takes what they need.

It's quite compatible.

And Dong Zhuo did absorb Cao Ang into his camp, and even had the idea of marrying his granddaughter Dong Bai to him as his wife.

As a result, now because of the chaos in the city because of the soldiers and horses under his hands, Cao Ang was worried and took away all the population of the Cao family.

It's tantamount to pointing at Dong Zhuo's nose and saying, I can't trust Luoyang City controlled by you Dong Zhongying, and I can't trust those ** under your hands.

Isn't that a slap in the face?

This is something that Dong Zhuo can't bear no matter what!

In fact, Dong Zhuo still knew a little about the chaos of the soldiers under his hands, but he didn't take it to heart.

First, I feel that there is no need to care, and the robbery is not a major minister of the DPRK, it is nothing more than some cloth leaders, can these people still turn the sky upside down?

Second, he felt that indulging soldiers to do such outrageous things could also vent their emotions, which was conducive to improving the morale of the army and enhancing the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

But now it's so much of a mess.

Obviously, it doesn't work anymore.

His face is bigger than anything else.

Therefore, looking at Li Ru who was standing below and waiting, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and commanded in a loud voice.

"Check!"

"Check it out for me!"

"These days, which people in the headquarters are acting recklessly and what kind of bad deeds have been committed, let me find out one by one."

"After it is investigated, it will be dealt with according to military law!"

"Wenyou, this matter is entirely entrusted to you!"

Li Ru, who lowered his head, flashed with joy on his face.

If Dong Gong can keep this state all the time.

If you can listen to the advice of others and are willing to change, then why worry about the great cause?

He hurriedly bowed to the end again.

expressed his order to Dong Zhuo.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he went to deal with the matter according to Dong Zhuo's instructions.

Another order rang in his ears.

"Send someone to seal the Cao Mansion, leave a few people there to guard, no one is allowed to enter, and those who dare to violate the order will be severely punished by military law!"

"That kid went to Bohai to do something for me, I can't wait for him to come back, and the house is in a mess."

"Then you can't ask me to lose your temper?"

…………

For these things that happened in Luoyang City.

Cao Ang didn't know.

Still leading the army, along the direction of Beibi Mountain, along the northeast direction.

Pingxian County, which was the first to arrive at Luoyang City, rested here for an hour, and also sent people to the county seat to purchase some grain, leaving an extremely sufficient proof of presence.

After crossing the county seat of Pingxian, Cao Ang immediately ordered to turn around, and the army decisively turned to the southeast side.

It's just that for the next part of the journey, you can't stay in large cities such as the county seat, otherwise the previous proof of presence will be invalid, and you can only walk around the county seat.

At the same time, we must hurry as fast as possible, leave the city circle with Luoyang as the core, and wait until we are out of the east of Gongxian County, and everything will be no problem.

The march of the entire army was not slow.

Although in addition to the regular army, there is also the relocation team of the Cao family, and there are a lot of big bags and small things.

But the Cao family is rich, and before leaving, Cao Cao waved his hand and bought a lot of cars and horses, which had already been armed into a semi-automatic team.

Therefore, not only does it not lag behind, but it also has a slight advantage in speed.

Riding on horseback at the moment.

Look up at the scorching sun.

Cao Cao couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, opened the water bag and poured it twice.

It's a shame to be in a hurry in this kind of weather.

Fortunately, it should not be long before the sky enters the evening, and it may be cooler by then.

After two breaths of hot air.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look back in the northwest direction.

Nothing can be seen.

After driving for so long, Luoyang City doesn't know where it was thrown to, how can it be reached with the naked eye?

But Cao Cao still couldn't help but stare deeply.

Wait!

It won't be long before I, Cao Cao, will return to Luoyang with a large army.

Swear to kill Dong thief!
