When the two people in front heard Liu Zhaoqing's wonderful metaphor, they could imagine Lu Bu's cheeks turning red with anger.
Lv Hong sighed slightly and said, "Please don't be too concerned about me next time we meet, Qingjun. Now I understand that Xian'er is not an ordinary body. I have to do my best to defeat him."
"And now she is trapped in her own world, unwilling to face reality, and only wants to use force to achieve her desired goals."
"In this way...if we don't correct the situation soon, she will definitely be hurt by her own persistence."
Lu Hong said softly.
It's not that she doesn't care about her sister. On the contrary, she understood her sister's current condition after contact. As her only blood relative, Lu Hong knew that only this method could make her wake up.
Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly. There was nothing wrong with what Lu Hong said. In fact, Liu Zhaoqing thought almost the same.
But Xun Yu had other ideas.
"I think... even if Zhao Qing defeats her again next time, there is no need to imprison her. Instead, releasing her will be more effective."
"Put it back?" Liu Zhaoqing was surprised: "Wen Ruo, are you serious?"
Xun Yu looked at Lv Hong: "As his sister, Madam Lv, do you think Lv Bu is more rational now than before?"
"Reason..." Lu Hong just thought about it for a moment and shook her head.
"It's far worse than before. In the past, even if my sister didn't listen to the teacher's teachings, she would still tell me after a fight that she didn't hurt anyone, but just wanted to teach them a lesson."
"But now, it seems that all she's thinking about is...overcoming everything and getting her life back to how she wants it to be."
In Liu Zhaoqing's words, it can be simply summed up in two words - obsession.
"What's that 'sister complex'..." Liu Zhaoqing frowned and murmured softly.
"That's right. Lu Bu is unable to, or does not want to, think rationally now." Xun Yu nodded.
"After she met Madam Lu and knew that Madam Lu was with Zhao Qing, her mentality would become more impetuous and her character might become more and more obsessive."
"Among the counselors, such people are very easy to turn against the enemy."
"Rebellion?" Lv Hong frowned slightly: "But Xian'er shouldn't be that kind of person, right? Dong Zhuo is not Han Fu, he treats her very well, and I heard that he has been helping her find me..."
"'Incite rebellion' does not necessarily mean that she will rebel." Xun Yu shook his head.
"As long as she becomes more 'impulsive' and 'obsessed', people will think she has been 'turned'."
Xun Yu continued, "When that happens, she will have nowhere to stay, and she will naturally think of her sister, and she will also naturally think of Zhao Qing."
After listening to this, Liu Zhaoqing's eyes slowly lit up.
"What a good plan to 'let the tiger go back to the mountains to cause trouble'..."
It would be better for Lu Bu to become a time bomb beside Dong Zhuo than to be in his own prison shouting "Sister, I want to see you!" every day, right?
After further discussion with Xun Yu, Liu Zhaoqing felt that this strategy could be discussed again with Guo Jia and others, and it eventually evolved into a powerful hidden line on Liu Zhaoqing's road to destroying Dong.
After Lu Hong left, Liu Zhaoqing was alone with Xun Yu again.
This time they were walking together in the small garden of the county residence, and when they talked about Ju Shou's surrender, Xun Yu sincerely expressed his congratulations.
Just when Liu Zhaoqing didn't know what topic to continue chatting with Xun Yu, a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Alliance Master, there is an urgent matter!"
The soldier knelt on one knee and held the letter above his head with both hands.
Liu Zhaoqing took it, opened it, and the neat and elegant handwriting on it immediately caught his eye.
"This is a letter from Yuan Shao." Xun Yu on the side immediately recognized that it was Yuan Shao's handwriting.
But the content of the letter was not good news.
"More than 93,000 soldiers of the lower coalition army led by Kong Rong were annihilated outside the city of Chang'an..." Liu Zhaoqing read out the words softly.
"How could Dong Zhuo recover so quickly? And even if he mobilized his troops quickly, Kong Jun should be able to hold out for at least seven days." Xun Yu asked in confusion, "How could he be defeated so quickly?"
Liu Zhaoqing continued to read.
"Suspected to be affected by the evil spirit."
Chapter 312 Dong Zhuo Returns to Beijing, Wang Yun's Anger
Early in the morning of the day before, in Luoyang city.
In Cai Yong's mansion, Wang Yun was drinking with him.
Although they were said to be "drinking together", in fact the wine cups in front of the two people's tables were still full.
They just took this opportunity to meet at the palace, and what they really wanted to do was not to drink together, but to discuss the major events that were happening at the moment.
"Now that the granary has been burned, will Cai Zhonglang be blamed by Dong Zhuo?" Wang Yun asked Cai Yong.
Both of them were great Confucian scholars, and Wang Yun was four years younger than Cai Yong.
Cai Yong shook his head slightly: "The granary affairs are not under my jurisdiction. I am the left secretary, and in fact I am just an aide to the prime minister. I do not hold much power."
When Wang Yun heard the word "Prime Minister", his expression paused slightly.
Then he looked at Cai Yong and said after a moment of silence: "Cai Zhonglang, do you think Dong Zhuo will lose this time?"
Cai Yong hesitated for a moment and shook his head again: "Even if he loses, it won't hurt his bones."
"Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song have already left the capital. In the past two days, many people also took advantage of the chaos to leave because they all thought this was an opportunity to rebel against Dong." Wang Yun looked at Cai Yong.
"Brother Bojie, what do you think we need to do now?"
While Cai Yong was thinking, Wang Yun frowned slightly. Looking at Cai Yong, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Brother Bo Ji, do you really think Dong Zhuo is a minister of Kuang Han?!"
"Don't be confused!"
As soon as Wang Yun finished speaking, he heard the sound of something falling behind him. Turning around, he saw a little girl with pigtails falling and knocking over a wooden box of cakes in her hands.
This was Cai Yong's youngest daughter, whose given name was Yan. Wang Yun had seen this little girl many times before. She was Cai Yong's favorite daughter because she was born in his old age.
Cai Yan's intelligence, cunning and wit left a good impression on Wang Yun. Wang Yun usually looked like a kind old grandfather. This was probably the first time Cai Yan heard him speak in this tone, so she was frightened.
"Yan'er, please go out first. Let someone else take care of this place."
"But father..." Cai Yan looked at Wang Yun worriedly.
Cai Yong shook his head to signal her to do as he asked, and the latter stood up, bowed, and left.
"Master Zi, you misunderstood me." Cai Yong sighed and said.
"I am not stupid, and I know Dong Zhuo's intentions, but... the current situation does not allow us to have any other choice."
"Let me ask you, do you and I have the courage and determination to fight against Dong at all costs, like Liu Zhaoqing and Cao Cao?"
Wang Yun really wanted to say "yes", but he also knew that if it was true, then why would he still stay in Luoyang.
"I am old, and although I don't have the courage and ambition of those young people, I am still a Han minister and I recognize the harm caused by traitors and rebels." Wang Yun said slowly.
"Yes, you and I are both Han ministers, but do you and I have the ability to lead troops and fight like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song?" Cai Yong asked again.
"Besides this, do you and I, two old Han officials, have any other plans to save the Han Dynasty?"
Cai Yong looked at Wang Yun who was unable to answer and sighed again.
"No, that's why we can only have a long talk here."
"Because we know that we alone cannot restore the Han Dynasty to its former glory."
"On the contrary, if we can protect ourselves, even if we can only have a different voice in the court, it will be a blessing for us."
Wang Yun's pale brows were deeply furrowed. He felt that Cai Yong's idea was very problematic.
Although it is normal for him to have lost his character at this age, just before that, when they joined forces with great Confucian scholars to support Liu Zhaoqing in his fight against He Jin and the eunuch party, Cai Yong was also a participant.
He was not as depressed as he is now.
The only possibility is that, in Cai Yong's eyes, Dong Zhuo has already risen to the level of being almost "invincible".
Just when Wang Yun was about to say something, Cai Yong spoke first.
"It has been two days since Dong Zhuo left the capital. According to previous battle reports, he should be back soon."
Cai Yong had just finished speaking when he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.
"Master, Situ Yang just sent someone to pass on a message!"
"Situ Yang? Yang Biao?" Cai Yong immediately asked his men to come in.
"What did he say?"
The subordinate knelt down, and then his expression was full of fear: "'Dong, Dong Zhuo will return to the capital in half an hour.'"
Cai Yong and Wang Yun were both stunned.
After a moment's silence, Cai Yong immediately stood up and said, "Go find the groom to prepare the carriage, and we will go to the city gate immediately."
Soon, neither Cai Yong nor Wang Yun chose to wear official uniforms. They walked out of the mansion and got on the carriage.
Luoyang was under strict control in the early morning after experiencing a fire and riot the day before. If a bird entered or left the capital, there would be a special bird catcher to detect it.
But at this time, Wang Yun and Cai Yong in the carriage found that as their carriage drove towards the main road, more and more troops were rushing forward on the road.
All other vehicles also flowed in here like a stream.
The news of Dong Zhuo's return to the capital was like the big fire that day, which immediately ignited the silent capital city again.
Sitting in the carriage, Cai Yong looked at Wang Yun and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Although Wang Yun seemed a little excited just now, as a friend, Cai Yong naturally knew that Wang Yun was just too eager to do something.
I really want to put an end to this situation that is once again disrupting the government.
But not everyone is like Liu Zhaoqing who leaps over the dragon gate.
"Master Zi, no matter whether the Prime Minister wins or loses this time, since she is back, we must still maintain our original attitude and must not contradict her." Cai Yong said.
Seeing that Wang Yun did not reply, he exhaled and advised again: "The position of Situ should have been held by Master Zi, but now it is held by Yang Biao. She is warning you. If you do that again..."
"I don't want to be one of the three dukes and nine ministers." Wang Yun interrupted him.
"I know, but before you achieve your goal, you have to at least save your own life, right?" Cai Yong said helplessly.
“When a person dies, his Tao dies too. If one dies, no matter how great one’s ambition is, it can only be buried in the ground along with the coffin.”
Wang Yun was silent for a moment and did not respond, but Cai Yong knew that he finally listened to him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The capital has been both chaotic and unusually stable these past two days. I wonder how the person in the palace is doing..." Cai Yong said softly while looking out the window.
“That person” certainly does not refer to Liu Xie.
“Your Majesty was frightened by the passing of the Mandate of Heaven during the last sacrifice to heaven, but Dong Zhuo insisted on taking him to the war.” Wang Yun snorted coldly.
"However, the King of Hongnong in the palace was able to avoid the disaster of Dong Zhuo because of this." Wang Yun sighed as he said this.
"If Dong Zhuo was still in the capital, I would be worried about the safety of King Hongnong."
"Safety? Master Zi thinks she will... imprison the former monarch?"
"Prisoners?"
Wang Yun shook his head and stopped talking.
Soon afterwards, they arrived outside the city gate.
After getting off the car, Wang Yun and Cai Yong saw a large number of court officials who had just arrived.
The "stubborn" officials loyal to Han who were brought with Dong Zhuo returned yesterday, but most of them were detained at home, while most of those currently outside the city gate are officials loyal to Dong Zhuo.
There were many neutral officials such as Cai Yong and Yang Biao, but Wang Yun was special. The reason why Dong Zhuo did not take him to the war was because he was too old.
"You're back so soon, you're worthy of being the Prime Minister!"
"The day when the Prime Minister returns triumphantly should be a grand celebration!"
"I knew that the villain Han Fu was no match for the Prime Minister's army, haha."
……
Listening to the laughter of officials loyal to Dong Zhuo around him, Wang Yun frowned deeply again and clenched his fists under his sleeves, wishing he could kill these rebels in front of his door.
Chapter 313 Yuan Shu's Words, Sima Clan of Henei
Those who were barking wildly before even meeting Dong Zhuo were basically loyal supporters of Dong Zhuo's camp.
