Yuan Mansion.
Lanterns were lit everywhere, and brothers Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Wang Kuang and others were watching the singing and dancing in the lobby, accompanied by Xu You, He Yong, Cao Cao, Chen Lin, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Jiang Qi and others.
In the midst of singing and dancing, Yuan Shu raised his wine bottle and said to Wang Kuang: "On public holidays, I think how happy it is to think of us leading the army into the palace to eradicate the eunuchs.
Come here, have another drink.
Tomorrow you will go to Hanoi to take up your post.
I don’t know when or what month we will be able to meet again.”
"Okay, drink."
Wang Kuang picked up the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp.
Yuan Shao then waved the singers, musicians, and waiters to leave, and then said to Wang Kuang: "On official days, the situation in the court is very strange and unstable.
I don't know what will happen in the future.
On official days, any time After that, I hope you will contact us from time to time during official holidays to exchange news and take care of each other.
What do you think?"
Wang Kuang put down the wine bottle and said: "I was about to tell Ben Chu about this.
Dong Zhuo is a cruel person and is too domineering.
But now that he has the upper hand in the court, I am afraid that there will be more turmoil in the court in the future.
You'd better be careful.
In addition, Liu Cheng should not be underestimated.
I still have to be restrained by the Queen Mother and not go too far.
I think it is best for the princes not to offend him in the court.
Now the only people in Luoyang City who can restrain Dong Zhuo are Liu Cheng and Ding Yuan.
Brother Ben Chu , If you want to fight against Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid you have to use these two talents."
Yuan Shao was thoughtful after listening to Wang Kuang's words.
He glanced at the others and saw that Cao Cao was deep in thought, so he asked: "Meng De, why don't you say anything?
I heard that you often run to Dong Zhuo's house recently, following Dong Zhuo is very close, and many people in the government and the public are very dissatisfied with your performance during this period, thinking that you are a follower of the crowd."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Now that Dong Zhuo is powerful, many courtiers have taken refuge with him.
One more Cao Cao is not too much for me.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
Is it wrong for me to befriend Dong Zhuo?
Besides, you Didn't Yuan Benchu cooperate with Dong Zhuo?
Now all your Xiyuan Central Army has been handed over to Dong Zhuo.
This is a feat far greater than that of Cao Cao."
Cao Cao successfully changed the topic to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It's not like you don't know that I was coerced by Dong Zhuo.
He threatened the life of the road.
What can I do?
It's not my intention.
It's my uncle."
I mean, how can I, Yuan Shao, take refuge in people like Dong Zhuo?"
Wang Kuang hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said: "Benchu, Mengde, please stop arguing about these things.
Everyone has his own difficulties.
Come on, let's drink, drink."
These people drank for a while, but no one was willing to talk to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao knew the reason and was not willing to stay here to humiliate himself.
He said goodbye and left first, followed by Xu You, He Yong, Chen Lin and others.
He left, but Yuan Shao left Wang Kuang to chat for a long time.

When Wang Kuang left, the other guests had already left.
He rushed home in a carriage, escorted by several entourages.
Not long after leaving the Yuan Mansion, the carriage came to a dark street.
Suddenly, several masked men in night clothes jumped from the roofs on both sides of the street and rushed towards the carriage.
"There is an assassin."
The leader of the guards protecting Wang Kuang discovered the assassin first and immediately shouted a warning.
However, two guards could not escape and were chopped to the ground on the spot.
The assassins in black surrounded the carriage and attacked the guards.
Wang Kuang, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but panic at this time.
A sharp sword pierced the carriage compartment and lay across his neck.
He broke out in a cold sweat and immediately turned his head to avoid it.
He drew out his sword and struck out.
Cutting it off, he smashed the carriage and rolled a few times on the ground.
Before he could get up, several gleaming swords stabbed him.
Wang Kuang was the leader of the army, and his martial arts moves were all wide open and closed.
He was really overwhelmed by being assassinated by several people at close range.
After slicing three sharp swords with his face, he was stabbed by the last sword.
Hit in the abdomen, he couldn't help but uttered: "Ouch" "Lord", the leader of the attendants turned around and saw Wang Kuang being stabbed.
He immediately cut down an assassin and turned around to kill him.
At this time, the assassin who stabbed Wang Kuang in the abdomen had been killed by him, but there were still many assassins.
Wang Kuang saw that he was alone.
I'm afraid I'm weak It was difficult to resist the assassin's assassination.
Remembering that Yuan's Mansion was nearby, it was better to resist while retreating in the direction of Yuan's Mansion.
Maybe it would attract the attention of Yuan's Mansion.
After making up his mind, he immediately shouted: "Retreat quickly, retreat in the direction of Yuan's Mansion" " One of the assassins shouted in Xiliang dialect: "Surround them, don't let them escape, kill them all, leave no one behind."
The assassins did not respond vocally, but they responded to the suspected leader with practical actions.
They surrounded Wang Kuang and others and attacked from all directions.
Only a few of the guards around Wang Kuang died soon.
"Breakthrough" Wang Kuang knew that he could no longer be besieged, and the only way was to break through and escape, otherwise he would very likely die here, so he took a few guards and forcibly broke through in the direction of Yuan Mansion.
After losing several people, Wang Kuang finally led the guard leaders out of the siege, but both of them were injured, and all the others died under the siege of the assassins.
The two men ran wildly in front, while the assassins were chasing after them.
Seeing that the two men would soon be overtaken, the leader of the guards immediately decided to stay and block the assassins, allowing Wang Kuang to escape alone.
He then turned around and faced the chasing assassins.
Roar: "Lord, hurry up, my subordinates are blocking them, hurry up!"
Wang Kuang turned around while running and saw that the leader of his guards was blocking the assassins, but was being surrounded and killed by the assassins.
He was hit by several swords but did not fall down.
He gritted his teeth and covered his abdomen and continued to escape towards Yuan Mansion.
After killing Wang Kuang's guard leader, the assassins continued to chase Wang Kuang, but suddenly a group of patrolling soldiers came in front.
The assassin leader immediately stopped, raised his hands and said in a deep voice: "The mission failed, retreat.
Bar" The assassins dispersed quickly and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When the soldiers and horses patrolling the street chased them, they couldn't even find a hair, so they could only take back the bodies of Wang Kuang's guards.
Yuan Shao was about to wash up and go to sleep when he heard Jiang Qi report that Wang Kuang had been assassinated by an assassin and had escaped with serious injuries.
He was shocked and immediately went to the front hall to take a look.
He saw a cut on Wang Kuang's abdomen and his clothes were stained red with blood.
He immediately walked over quickly and asked with concern: "Gongjie, are you okay?

Jiang Qi, go and ask the doctor to come over."
"Lord, we have already sent someone to invite you."
Wang Kuang lost too much blood and was very weak.
He said: "The guards all died trying to protect me, but I can't die yet."
After a while, the doctor came.
After examining the wound, he said that the wound was not deep and did not damage the organs.
He applied medicine and bandaged it.
He prescribed another medicine, gave instructions on how to boil it and take it, and then left.
Yuan Shaorang carried Wang Kuang to a side room and lay down, and said: "You stay here to recover for the time being.
Once you recover, I will find a way to send you to Hanoi to take up your post.
Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know."
Wang Kuang shook his head and suddenly remembered that during the assassination process, an assassin had spoken in a Xiliang accent, and immediately said: "A person who looked like the leader of the assassin spoke in a Xiliang accent."
"Could it be Dong Zhuo?"
Yuan Shao frowned.
Wang Kuang thought for a while and said: "You can't judge that Dong Zhuo sent someone to do it just from one sentence.
I have offended many people over the years, and there are many people who want to kill me.
Even the Queen Mother in the palace may want to Let me die without a burial place, and the relatives of the eunuchs we killed.
There are so many people who want to kill me for revenge."
Having said this, Wang Kuang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I deserve the blame for being in this bad situation now.
I just have to trouble brother Benchu.
I really feel sorry for it."
"What are you talking about on a public holiday?
You and I are brothers.
Can I not care if you are in trouble?
Just stay here.
I will arrange for someone to come and serve you.
I will wait until you recover from your injuries
