Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although what Zheng Tai said has some truth, it also confuses Dong Zhuo.  However, after some persuasion from Li Ru, Dong Zhuo was still determined to send more troops to the front.

    In his view, everything is false, and only strong force is the key to determining the problem!  Isn't he an example? If he didn't control the Xiliang Army and annexed the Bingzhou Army, how could it be his turn to control the government?  !

    Of course, Dong Zhuo still had some important things to do before the army set off.

    First, he secretly ordered the doctor to order Li Ru to poison Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong.

    In this way, even if the war ahead was defeated, Yuan Shao and the others would not be able to overthrow Liu Xie's throne. After all, after Liu Bian's death, only Liu Xie was left as the heir of Emperor Ling.  And in this way, deposing the emperor is not only not a sin, but it is the greatest loyalty to Liu Xie. After all, it was Dong Zhuo who helped him ascend the throne!

    Secondly, it is the treatment of Yuan Wei.

    Li Ru once admonished Dong Zhuo: "Now that Hua Xiong has died in battle, the bandits are becoming more powerful. Yuan Shao is now the leader of the Kwantung bandit army. His uncle Yuan Wei is the Grand Tutor and has raised many private soldiers. If Yuan Wei and  If Yuan Shaoli joins forces with the outside world, Luoyang will be in danger!"

    At first, Dong Zhuo didn't think so. Yuan Wei only had more than a hundred servants, so what was there to be afraid of?  But now that Hua Xiong was killed and the momentum of the Allied forces increased, Dong Zhuo remembered Li Ru's suggestion again and immediately ordered Li Jue and Guo Si to lead more than a thousand soldiers to surround Yuan Wei's house.

    Yuan Wei only had a hundred guards and servants in his hands, so how could he defeat Li Jue's tiger and wolf army.  Moreover, there are many old, weak, women and children in the family, and if a fight breaks out, their bodies will definitely be wiped out.  Considering this, Yuan Wei had no choice but to surrender.

    After all, Yuan Wei was once a Taifu, and he had many disciples and former officials.  Li Jue and Guo Si did not dare to make any decisions. While sending people to ask Dong Zhuo for instructions, they tied up everyone in Yuan Kai's family and threw them into prison.

    As a prince, he had all the power in the government and the public. There were so many members of the Yuan family who defected to Yuan Wei that the prison was filled to the brim.  As a result, Yuan Wei himself had no place to stand and could only be imprisoned in a cell deep in the prison.

    When he first entered the prison, smelling the rotten smell and watching the rats scurrying around on the ground without fear of people, Yuan Wei couldn't help but vomit.  Especially on the wall of the cell, covered by moss, you can still faintly see the bloody marks made by fingernails.  Yuan Wei struggled to identify a few names on the wall. They were all party members who sacrificed their lives for righteousness. There was no one alive!

    Yuan Wei couldn't help shouting: "Let me out, let me out!"

    No one answered him. The people who can guard the lowest level of this prison are all wardens who are known for their caution. No one wants to cause trouble.

    As Yuan Wei¡¯s voice became louder, the jailers became extremely annoyed.  But the superiors had not yet come up with a plan to deal with Yuan Wei, and Yuan Shao's power was now greatly increased, so the jailers were unwilling to offend him, so they had to run away obediently, out of sight and out of mind.

    Yuan Wei just shouted until his voice became hoarse, but he could hear nothing except his own echo.

    At this time, he ignored the filth on the ground and collapsed weakly on the ground, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

    To be honest, after living for so many years, Yuan Wei is used to seeing rise and fall, and he doesn¡¯t take his own life too seriously.  It's just that after being captured this time, almost all the clan members in Luoyang were wiped out, and even the babies who were still nursing were imprisoned in this prison.  Yuan Wei felt deeply guilty about this. If he hadn't wanted to support them, these Yuan family members should be living happily in Nanyang now instead of in this prison.  Yuan Wei is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will become a sinner of the Yuan family!

    At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from next door: "But Uncle Yuan?"

    After finally finding someone to talk to, Yuan Wei hurriedly followed the call and saw a person lying faintly in the haystack of the cell next to him.

    Yuan Wei rushed to the fence and looked carefully. He was shocked: "Meng De, are you still alive? Everyone said you were dead. Your son Cao Ang even took the lead in launching an army to attack Dong Zhuo!"

    Cao Cao smiled laboriously and accidentally pulled the wound again. Big drops of sweat seeped out from his forehead, and his pale face was bloodless.  I saw him struggling to say: "I would rather die than live now. Zixiu did the right thing"

    After taking a breath and gathering some strength, Cao Cao asked in a low voice: "What is going on outside now? I have been locked up here since I failed to assassinate Dong. I am tortured every day and don't know any news. Come on,  It¡¯s suffocating me to death!¡±

    Having said this, Cao Cao was a little excited and couldn't help coughing violently. He coughed several times in a row and spit out a mouthful of blood!

    With his actions, the bloody clothes that had been whipped to pieces shook back and forth, faintly revealing the scales all over his body under the clothes.?'s body.  In fact, some of the burnt flesh has rotted, giving off a faint stench!

    "Mengde" Yuan Wei felt distressed just looking at it. If this torture was done to him, he would tell the other party what information he wanted, and he would not dare to hide it at all.

    But as far as Yuan Wei knew, after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong, no ministers except Cao family members were imprisoned. In other words, despite being tortured, Cao Cao did not recruit anyone.  Cao Mengde is such a strong man!

    Yuan Wei was so distressed that he shed tears, and he whispered everything he learned.  When he learned that the Eighteen Route Princes were crusading against Dong Zhuo and Cao Ang were among them, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile happily - he is indeed my son, sitting at the same table with so many important officials from the state and county at such a young age!  At that time, I was rated as "a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times". My son has an unlimited future!

    Feeling relieved, Cao Cao couldn't help but fainted again.  Yuan Wei quickly shouted: "Someone is coming, someone is coming, someone is dead!"

    No one paid any attention to him, only the dim oil lamp struggled tenaciously in the dirty air and refused to be extinguished.

    There was no time in the prison. I don¡¯t know if it was an hour or two hours later, but finally a jailer walked in slowly, carrying a broken wooden barrel filled with moldy rice.

    Yuan Wei quickly shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, Cao Cao fainted again!"

    The jailer said impatiently: "What's the fuss? This guy faints every day when he can't stand the torture. We're all used to it."

    Despite what he said, the jailer still walked into Cao Cao's cell, took his pulse, rolled his eyelids again, and then whispered: "This guy's life is very tough, he won't die for a while!  "

    Seeing that there was no one around, Yuan Wei stepped forward and whispered to the jailer: "You should also know that the eighteen princes are attacking Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang is one of them! As long as you serve Cao Cao well  , it will be your benefit to have success in the future!"

    The jailer smiled and said: "You can't protect yourself, but you want to protect others?! There are Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass. Even if Cao Ang has the ability to reach heaven, he can't rush through! Besides, Luoyang City has been raided  After doing this, all the old members of the Cao family were arrested and killedeven if I took care of Cao Cao, who could benefit me? Bah! Don't lie to me here!"

    Yuan Wei had worked hard in official circles all his life, and he knew the jailer was moved when he heard it.  He lowered his voice and persuaded in a low voice: "I have lived for so many years, old man, and I have never seen a child as outstanding as Cao Ang. He is both civil and military. He can write a poem in seven steps and defeat the enemy alone. Not long ago, he even  Shot and killed Zhao Cen! It is very rare for a twelve-year-old child to be able to do this! In time, it will be my big man Huo Qubing! If he knows that you are disrespectful to his father in the future, he will not be able to capture Luoyang after he conquers Luoyang.  Off your skin!

    Since I¡¯m in jail, I might as well reveal a secret to you. Juxian Inn outside Dongzhimen is a newly opened property of the Cao family!  Originally, they wanted to come over to collect Meng De's body, but they never found a way. Not long ago, they quietly sent me a greeting card.

    As long as you spread the news that Cao Cao is alive, if nothing else, the news will be worth at least ten gold!  When the time comes, the Cao family will definitely entrust you to take care of Cao Cao. Earning a hundred gold steadily will not be a problem!  We live in this troubled world, where all official positions and power are empty, and you can buy anything with money!  Think about it, if you work as a jailer for the rest of your life, how much can you earn if you have a hundred gold?  !  "

    Yuan Wei was half threatening and half tempting, which made the jailer's face look uncertain.  After a long time, the jailer came back to his senses and looked around with a guilty conscience.  Seeing that there was no movement, he breathed a sigh of relief, laughed and cursed in a low voice: "You old man, if you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

    As he spoke, the jailer filled a bowl of rice for Yuan Wei.  Seeing Yuan Wei frowning, he whispered: "Old man, I will go to the inn tonight to check it out. If it is like you said, when you come back, I will give you extra food. The big white meat is enough! If you dare to lie to me,  I have plenty of means to deal with you!"

    ¡­¡­

    When he was patrolling in the middle of the night, the jailer walked in with a smile, ran to Yuan Wei's cell door, secretly stuffed him with a pork knuckle, and whispered: "Hide it after you eat it, you old man is not bad, the information you provided  It¡¯s very valuable! The Cao family is very nice to you and even provides you with your meals!¡±

    The jailer smiled excitedly, his face flushed.  Tonight, he took the risk and came to the inn before the curfew. He successfully met the innkeeper, explained the situation, and immediately got fifty gold!  The Cao family promised that as long as Cao Cao's handwriting proves that he is still alive, they will give him another hundred gold!

    And as long as the jailer takes good care of Cao Cao, he can exchange Cao Cao's handwriting for fifty gold every ten days!  Even if you find a few more people to share it equally, as a contact person, you can still getA big head!  This is a rare big deal, and I am digging a big gold mine this time!

    The jailer smiled happily, carefully applied the good golden sore medicine to Cao Cao, chewed a small stick of ginseng and stuffed it into his mouth.

    After the jailer left, Cao Cao woke up. The golden sore medicine on his body felt cool and he felt very comfortable.

    After understanding the situation, Cao Cao whispered: "If my uncle hadn't persuaded the jailer, I, Cao Mengde, would definitely have died here this time!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? My nephew has an idea for you, you have to take the initiative to write to Dong Zhuo to make him realize your value!  At least, you can threaten Brother Benchu ??with your life!

    "Why didn't Dong Zhuo kill me? It was because he wanted to get the list of his comrades from my mouth.  In this prison, only worthy people can survive!  "
