Li Ru did not elaborate on the detailed action plan, which could only be known to Dong Zhuo's absolute confidants.
Dong Zhuo also stopped at the appropriate level, letting the attendees know a rough idea and ending the topic.
Then Dong Zhuo said to He Yong: "Mr.
Boqiu, letting this old man Ding Yuan run away is a thorn in my heart.
If I don't kill him, it will be difficult for me to feel at ease.
Please remember it and go to Tingwei's Mansion to let them go later."
An official document was sent to arrest Ding Yuan.
Some of them were captured alive and sent to the capital to be rewarded with a thousand gold coins.
Others were rewarded with a hundred gold coins for their heads.
Yuan Shao was also wanted."
At this time, Zhou Se stood up and said to Dong Zhuo: "Ming Gong, Ding Yuan is against Ming Gong.
It is understandable that Ding Yuan should be killed and wanted.
However, if Yuan Shao is wanted, the lower officials think it is inappropriate.
It is unusual to abolish the establishment.
Not an ordinary person We can understand the great painstaking efforts of the Lord.
Yuan Shao had a narrow vision and ran away in fear.
The lower official thought that he had no intention of going against Ming Gong, otherwise he would not have been willing to be hijacked by Ming Gong.
The fourth and third son of the Yuan family, Guang.
Bu Enze has disciples and old officials all over the world.
If he is wanted and pressed, if he summons heroes and warriors to wave flags and shout to attack Duke Ming, the princes from all over the country will take advantage of the situation and the situation in Guandong will be corrupted.
The situation is beyond the control of Ming Gong, so I think it is better to pardon Yuan Shao, give him a job as a prefect, and give him a title to appease him.
He will feel lucky and will not cause trouble."
Dong Zhuo: "Hey, what you said seems to make sense.
The power and influence of the Yuan family among the gentry are too great.
Yuan Wei is also the Tutor in the court."
Wu Qiong also stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Previously, Duke Ming promised the Yuan family to recommend Yuan Shu as the rear general, but due to many affairs, the promise was never fulfilled.
The lower official heard that the Yuan family was very dissatisfied.
Now that Duke Ming wants to take charge of the government, the Yuan family Although it is temporarily due to Afraid of Ming Gong's strength, he gave in, but he must be very unhappy in his heart.
Why didn't Ming Gong ask the emperor to appoint Yuan Shu as the general of the rear, in order to win over the Yuan family?
As long as the Yuan family supports Ming Gong, how can other ministers in the court dare to do so?
Are you going against Ming Gong?"
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands on the table and said happily: "That's right, I didn't expect that power can be played like this.
I'm just saying, you scholars should be smarter.
Let's do it this way.
If the Yuan family all surrenders to our family, our family will Let’s see who else in the court dares to oppose our family, hahaha.”
In the evening, Liu Cheng and his party hurried back.
After entering the city, Liu Cheng asked Zhu Jianping: "Taoist Zhu, today I found that you have been worried all day.
Can you tell me?"
Zhu Jianping hesitated and raised his hands and said: "My lord, to be honest, when Pindao went to see Ding Yuan last night, he secretly met him and found that he should not survive the next morning, but he didn't expect that he survived.
He even ran away, which is really strange.
I wonder what the Lord wrote in his letter to Ding Yuan."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing.
It just reminded Ding Yuan that Dong Zhuo might bribe people around him to kill him.
Unexpectedly, that letter actually saved his life.
I don't know where he fled to.

Dong Zhuo is sure He won't let it go.
I'm afraid he will instigate the relevant yamen to issue an official arrest warrant to arrest him.
By the way, the Taoist priest has also met Du Kai and Yang Ru.
How are they two?"
Zhu Jianping cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I met these two people and found that they are both loyal people.
Yang Ru is a long-lived person who can live to seventy-seven years old.
Although Du Kai is not a long-lived person, he is not.
He will die violently, and he will die of illness at the age of fifty-eight.
These two people can be entrusted with great things.
People, the lord can use them with confidence.
In addition, Pindao can only decide fate, future, life and death.
Pindao also heard that Xu Shao from Runan has the ability to criticize people.
If the lord can recruit Xu Shao to serve, let him cooperate with Pindao. , which is of great help to the lord in selecting and using talents.”
Appraisal of people and physiognomy actually have similarities and differences.
Ability like Xu Shao can tell a person's temperament, talent, and quality.
Based on these, we can infer how high a person's achievements are and how well he can perform in a certain field.
How far you go can tell whether someone is loyal or treacherous, which is a very useful knowledge.
Liu Cheng admired Zhu Jianping for taking the initiative to suggest the recruitment of Xu Shao.
You must know that if Xu Shao was recruited, Xu Shao would most likely replace him.
However, Zhu Jianping did not have any selfish motives.
Not ordinary people have this kind of mind. , so he valued Zhu Jianping even more and would ask for his advice whenever he had any undecided matters.
The few people had just returned to General You's Mansion.
Before Liu Cheng and others had time to have dinner, Zhao Rui suddenly came to report: "My lord, just now Xia Chaozong and Fan Ji came into contact with Dong Zhuo.
I have ordered them to be arrested."
"Secret Arrest" Liu Cheng sighed in his heart.
He really didn't want to be violent to those who followed him first, but sometimes people just can't stand the temptation.
Traitors are shameful and the most ruthless.
If you become a traitor, you must be prepared to die. preparation.
"Have you arrested Dong Zhuo's people as well?"
Zhao Rui nodded and said: "Caught.
Two people who came into contact with Xia Chaozong and Fan Ji were arrested secretly."
Liu Cheng immediately ordered: "Intensify the interrogation.
We must pry open their mouths before dawn and find out the purpose of their meeting."
"Understood" Zhao Rui agreed with his fists clasped, turned around and left.
Liu Cheng and others continued to eat dinner, but they were only halfway through the meal when Zhang Ji hurried over to report: "My lord, there is important news on the 3rd."
No. 3 was an extremely important person who was placed next to Dong Zhuo.
The news that this person sent back must be a major secret.
He was shocked and said, "What news?"
Zhang Jidao: "Tomorrow is the day of the great court meeting.
Dong Zhuo has decided to announce the abolition of the establishment tomorrow in front of the emperor.
They plan to have the Xiyuan Army send troops to contain the Northern Army, and then Dong Zhuo will lead three thousand elite Xiliang troops into the palace. , used force to force the lord to agree to abolish Li, if the three thousand Xiliang army plus the thousand originally in the palace If the soldiers and horses still can't suppress the lord, they will mobilize troops from the military camp outside the city into the city until they subdue the lord.
By then, the Northern Army will be restrained by the Xiyuan Army and will be unable to go to the palace for reinforcements in a short period of time, and our troops in the palace will not be able to suppress the lord.
The soldiers and horses brought by Dong Zhuo were not sure of victory, so they had no choice but to succumb to Dong Zhuo and agree to abolish Li."
After hearing this, Zhong Yao said: "This move is indeed brilliant.
The Yulin Army and the Huben Army together only have more than 3,000 people, but they have to guard the North and South Palaces separately.

At that time, Dong Zhuo only needs to send a small number of troops to block the Suzaku Gate and the North Palace.
For other sects, our strength in Nangong is only 1,600 Seven hundred people, and Dong Zhuo has more than 3,000 men, and they are all elites, more than twice our number.
If Dong Zhuo brings Lu Bu with him and uses Lu Bu's martial arts to restrain the lord, Dong Zhuo can do whatever he wants to the emperor. , abolishing the establishment is not a matter of a word."
Liu Cheng's heart became heavy, and everyone else also realized the seriousness of this matter.
They must think of countermeasures and make arrangements before dawn.
Xun Yu asked at this time: "I have something unclear.
Dong Zhuo wants to lead troops into the palace, but the guards at the palace gates are all members of the Yulin Army and the Huben Army.
If Dong Zhuo leads the troops and comes in a fierce manner, the guards will definitely close the palace."
Door, how did they break in?"
Zhang Ji said: "This is the key point.
News came on the 3rd that Li Ru has bribed our people.
When Dong Zhuo leads his troops to the palace gate, someone will help and arrange for them to enter the palace."
Jia Xu said at this time: "The person who was bribed by Dong Zhuo is the key.
If we can figure out who has been bribed and which palace gate Dong Zhuo plans to enter through, we can take advantage of it."
Liu Cheng immediately asked: "How to use the plan?"
Jia Xu immediately told the plan he had thought of, and everyone nodded repeatedly, but the question was who was bribed by Dong Zhuo?
The news from No. 3 did not mention it, and No. 3 must not know it either.
Zhong Yao suddenly said: "The people who were bribed by Dong Zhuo were Xia Chaozong and Fan Ji."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then it suddenly dawned on them, yes, why didn't they expect it to be them?
But it's not yet certain that it was them.
Fan Ji was already sure, and there was conclusive evidence.
It was not yet certain whether Xia Chaozong had also been bribed.
Fortunately, the person who came into contact with them has been caught and is being interrogated.
Liu Cheng looked solemnly and said to everyone: "Everyone, it seems that we have no time to rest tonight."
After dinner, everyone drank tea and chatted in the lobby while slowly waiting for the results of the interrogation.
After waiting for nearly an hour and a half, Zhao Rui hurried over to report to Liu Cheng: "Lord, the interrogation has a result.
Under torture , the two people Dong Zhuo sent to contact him were recruited.
One was named Yang Jin; the other was Gu Tangchen.
Both of them were from Luoyang, and both They were from the scholarly community and had defected to Dong Zhuo because they were frustrated.
They all confessed that Li Ru sent them to contact Xia Chaozong and Fan Ji, and instructed them to guard the Zhuque Gate and Canglong Gate of Nangong tomorrow morning.
During the court period, they ensured that the gates of the two palaces were not closed, and were responsible for escorting Dong Zhuo's troops into the palace when they arrived.
This is the confession they gave during the interrogation, and it has been sealed."
Liu Cheng walked down from his seat, took the bamboo slips, looked at them, and immediately shouted: "Zhang Ji, send someone immediately to check Yang Jin and Gu Tangchen.
I, the general, want to know the details of their homes."
"Understood, I will send someone to investigate immediately."
After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he left.
Liu Cheng remembered the plan just mentioned by Jia Xu, returned to his seat, picked up a brush and wrote a warrant on a piece of paper, waved to Wang Shuang, handed the letter to him and said: "Go to Yan in person."
OK, let him act according to my general’s orders.”
Wang Shuang had just received the letter and before he turned around, a soldier walked in from outside and reported: "General, Lu Weihuang asked to see you and said that I have a hundred thousand urgent matters to report":
