Gai Xun had moved to Chang'an with the ministers before.
Of course, he only heard about this from others and did not see it himself, but his momentum did not weaken at all.
"I, Gai Xun, didn't see it, but Luoyang was burned to ruins by fire, the imperial tomb was dug up, and all the funerary objects were stolen.
This is a fact.
Do you dare not to admit that you did it?
Who else dares to do it except you?
General Liu did such an unconscionable thing.
You were also resisting the Kwantung Allied Forces at the time.
Do you think it was Dong Zhuo who did it?"
When Liu Cheng saw Gai Xun dragging him in, he must have good intentions.
He wanted him to compete with Dong Zhuo.
Naturally, he wanted to bring down Dong Zhuo, but now was not the time, and he could not take the lead.
The power is still very strong.
It is necessary to let Dong Zhuo fight with the aristocratic families in Chaozhong for a few more rounds and kill more people.
Liu Chengdao: "At that time, my general was defending the enemy in Xingyang.
When news came that someone had set fire to Luoyang, dug up the imperial mausoleum, and stolen the burial objects, the three armies were crying and their morale was low.
They were no longer able to fight the rebels, so I had to give up.
Xingyang led his army to withdraw , by the time we arrived at Luoyang, the city had been burned to ashes.
Not a single person was around, not even a dog could be found.
Who set the fire and dug the imperial tomb?
I did not see it with my own eyes. , dare not jump to conclusions.”
All the ministers were stunned after hearing this, and they all murmured in their hearts, what happened to Liu Cheng today?
He actually started to be vague.
Didn't this guy always fight against Dong Zhuo before?
Could it be that these two people have joined forces?
At this time, Dong Zhuo shouted: "Have you heard it?
General Liu didn't see that it was someone who ordered me to do it."
"Dong Zhuo, if you want to deny it, let me tell you, there is no way.
After all the ministers, officials and people moved to Chang'an, all of Luoyang will be your people, and General Liu's troops are all in Xingyang to defend against the enemy.
How dare you say that it is not you?"
I ordered someone to do this without your order.
Who among your subordinates would dare to do such a thing?"
Dong Zhuo refused to admit his death: "When I led my troops to evacuate, Luoyang City and the Imperial Mausoleum were still in good condition.
How did I know who did it?
Luoyang City is full of meticulous work by various forces.
Can't these people be burned?"
Wouldn't they put the blame on Luoyang and the excavation of imperial tombs and theft of funerary objects on the truth?"
Gai Xun sneered: "Okay, you are still pushing Dong Zhuo to 265.
This is not your usual style.
It shows that you have something evil in your heart.
Are you not resisting the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes?
Why did you put General Liu and Bei The soldiers were abandoned in Xingyang and retreated alone."
"The Baibo Army attacked Tongguan and Huayin.
If I didn't retreat, I would have been blocked in Guandong.
When I retreated from Guandong, I had already sent someone to inform General Liu.

How did I know that General Liu had not received the message?"
The quarrel in the court went on all morning without any result.
Dong Zhuo estimated that Gai Xun's reputation was too great and he did not dare to kill him.
In addition, he did have something evil in his heart, so he naturally couldn't let go of his guilt.
Near noon, Sikong Xunshuang collapsed in the hall, his face pale, and the officials were in chaos.
Liu Bian was shocked and immediately shouted: "Quick, call the imperial doctor!"
The imperial doctor quickly rushed over with a medicine box on his back.
After on-site diagnosis and treatment, the imperial doctor cupped his hands to Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, Xun Sikong must have been ill for a long time.
Today he went to court even though he was sick, but he was emotionally agitated, which led to the onset of the disease. , the situation is not optimistic, I may not survive for a few days.”
"Ah, how could you think of a way to save him so quickly?"
Ben said immediately.
Xun Yu threw himself next to Xun Shuang and shouted, but Xun Shuang fell unconscious.
Liu Cheng asked: "Imperial physician, how much time does Xun Sikong have?"
"If I go back to the general, there is really nothing I can do.
Xun Sikong only has three days at most."
Xun Shuang was carried back home by Liu Cheng's people, and the court meeting could no longer go on.
Dong Zhuo and the courtiers dispersed.
Only two days later, Xun Shuang died of illness at his home in Chang'an.
His sons Xun Biao and Xun Pei presided over the funeral.
As nephews, Xun Yu and Xun Chen also helped receive guests at Xun Shuang's home.
Xun Shuang had a high reputation and reputation both in the official circles of the Han Dynasty and in the literary world.
After his death, many ministers, officials, literati in the opposition, retired officials and hermits came to pay their respects.
Dong Zhuo himself did not He came, but he still sent his confidant Li Jue to come and offer incense.
However, Li Jue knew that he would not be welcomed by such a person, so he hurriedly left with him after offering incense.
Liu Cheng brought a group of subordinates and cavalry from the General's Mansion to the gate of Xun's Mansion.
Two brothers, Xun Yu and Xun Chen, came out to greet him and bowed, "Welcome my lord."
Liu Cheng handed the red rabbit horse to his guards, stepped forward to help Xun Yu and Xun Chen up, and said, "Wen Ruo, you don't have to be polite.
Xun Sikong's death has left the court with another loyal, upright and outspoken veteran."
Ah, the whole country is grieving, please forgive me."
"Thank you, lord.
Please, lord."
Liu Cheng and others followed Xun Yu and Xun Chen into the Xun Mansion.
The mourning hall was placed on the east side of the courtyard.
Liu Cheng and others were led by Xun Yu and Xun Chen to the front of the mourning hall to offer incense to Xun Shuang.
After the family members thanked him, Liu Cheng took out a roll of yellow silk and loudly said: "Your Majesty learned that Xun Sikong passed away, and was so sad that he couldn't help himself.
He specially ordered this general to come to express his condolences."
The family members knelt down one after another to thank Liu Cheng who came to express condolences on behalf of the emperor.
Although Xun Shuang was good in talent and learning, he had no achievements in officialdom, and it was not that he had not made meritorious service as a military commander, so he could not be granted a title, and the emperor did not grant him a posthumous title.
"Please invite the general to serve tea in the lobby."
Xun Shuang's eldest son Xun Biao led Liu Cheng and others to the lobby.
Entering the lobby, Liu Cheng saw many people sitting in the lobby.
Almost all the Nine Ministers were here, as were Taiwei Zhao Qian and Situ Wang Yun.
The post of Sikong had just died due to Xun Shuang, and Dong Zhuo had not yet written a letter of recommendation to the emperor.
"General Liu" "I've met General Liu."
The ministers and officials in the lobby stood up to greet him.

Liu Cheng clasped his fists and nodded, then sat down behind the short table above.
At this time, Zhao Qian bowed his hand to Liu Cheng and said: "General, now that Duke Xun has passed away, the post of Sikong is vacant.
I wonder who the general thinks will take over the post of Sikong."
Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "This is not something that people with low official status like me can know.
It is not up to His Majesty to decide who can take over."
Gai Xun sneered: "General Liu's words are a bit exaggerated.
Whatever your Majesty can do, it is Dong Zhuo who has the final say in appointing and dismissing officials.
Your Majesty just stamped his seal on Dong Zhuo's appointment letter."
Liu Cheng turned to look at Gai Xun: "What does Mr.
Gai want to say?"
Wang Yun stood up and cupped his hands and said: "General, this is not the place to talk.
Today I and others want to discuss confidential matters with the general at Xun Sikong's house.
We also invite the general to come into the inner hall to serve tea."
Liu Cheng also looked at what these people wanted to do, got up and walked to the inner hall.
Wang Yun, Gai Xun, Huangfu Song, Zhao Qian and others also came to the inner hall one after another.
After serving tea again, Wang Yun bowed to Liu Cheng and said: "General, please take action to eradicate Dong Zhuo for the sake of the late Queen Mother and the common people of the world."
Several other people also stood up and prostrated themselves on the ground.
Liu Cheng secretly laughed in his heart.
These people actually wanted to instigate him to arm-wrestle with Dong Zhuo.
It was not that he was afraid of Dong Zhuo, but he had already discussed a future development route with Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Jia Xu and other confidants.
How could he easily Instigated and manipulated by these people Liu Chengdao: "Everyone, how do you think we should eradicate Dong Zhuo?"
Wang Yun and others looked at each other and were overjoyed.
Liu Cheng did not refuse immediately, which showed that there was a lot to be done.
Wang Yun immediately said: "General, there are Dong Zhuo's people everywhere in Chang'an City.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's vigilance has been greatly reduced.
He only takes a maximum of 500 people with him when he goes to court, and sometimes he only takes a few dozen people with him when traveling.
This is killing His great opportunity, the general does not need to send out the army outside the city, he only needs to draw a few hundred elite soldiers from the palace to ambush Dong Zhuo halfway.
As long as Dong Zhuo is dead, his minions will not be a concern."
Liu Cheng drank tea, looked at Wang Yun and others indifferently, sneered in his heart, and asked: "Are you taking it too much for granted?
If Dong Zhuo is so easy to kill, how can he still be safe after such a long time?
You sent people I'm afraid I have assassinated him no less than twenty or thirty times, but have I ever succeeded?"
Wang Yun and others were so embarrassed that they could not speak.
Zhao Qian himself was the person Liu Cheng secretly developed.
This guy's previous official position was not high, but through Liu Cheng's operation, he was promoted from a small Guanglu Xuncheng to a high-ranking official in a very short period of two or three months.
Taiwei.
I saw Zhao Qian cooperate with Liu Cheng and ask: "I wonder how the general thinks we can kill Dong Zhuo?"
Liu Chengdao said: "Dong Zhuo is a man who is powerful and unscrupulous, but in fact he is very afraid of death and is extremely cautious when traveling.
He is always surrounded by guards.
Trying to assassinate or ambush him is simply not feasible.
His hands With an elite army of hundreds of thousands, this general only has tens of thousands of troops.
There is not much chance of winning in a direct confrontation with him.
Therefore, if you want to kill him, it is impossible to succeed from the outside.
There is only one way."
Several people couldn't help but said in unison: "What can we do?"
"Start from within Dong Zhuo" Gai Xun frowned and said, "General, please elaborate."

"I have heard that Dong Zhuo does not trust Lü Bu very much.
Dong Zhuo is extremely suspicious.
He often loses his temper and scolds and insults Lü Bu over trivial matters.
In addition, both Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu are lovers of beauty.
Okay, that's all I have to say. , you can figure out the rest for yourselves, and say goodbye."
After Liu Cheng said this, he stood up and walked out.
The few people who stayed in the inner hall looked at each other in confusion.
Huangfu Song stroked his beard and muttered: "Liu Cheng wants to use Dong Zhuo's suspicion and beauty trap to drive a wedge between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, and let Lu Bu kill Dong Zhuo."
"That's right."
Zhao Qian slapped his thigh and said, "I understand.
If there is anyone in the world who is easiest to kill Dong Zhuo, it is only Lu Bu.
Because Lu Bu often follows Dong Zhuo for personal protection.
If Lu Bu has murderous intentions , Dong Zhuo will definitely not escape death."
"Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu both consider themselves heroes, so it is easiest to use honey traps to drive a wedge between them."
Liu Cheng didn't know if Wang Yun used a beauty trap to instigate Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo in another time and space in history, whether it was their own idea or a suggestion put forward by others.
Since this group of people hadn't thought of it yet, he simply took the initiative to remind them. two.
"This is a very clever plan."
Gai Xun nodded and asked, "Do you have any stunning beauties in your house?"
Huangfu Song and Zhao Qian both shook their heads, but Wang Yun's eyes lit up and said: "There is a singer in my house who is extremely beautiful, and is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
I just want to make her willing and make her It takes a lot of time to have the courage to do this.
After all, she is just a singer.
Let her take on such a big responsibility.
If something goes wrong, the consequences will not be something we can bear."
Zhao Qian said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer.
Wang Situ, I'll leave this matter to you.
Situ wants to get closer to this singer, silently influence her, wait for the time to mature, and then show righteousness to her and act accordingly."
It won’t be a bad thing” Gai Xun asked: "Wang Situ, is one year enough?"
Wang Yun nodded and said: "That's enough."
The remaining three people raised their hands to Wang Yun and said, "Then please leave it to Wang Situ":
