    A few days later, the scout troops sent from Hulao Pass captured the soldiers in Yuan Shao's camp. Dong Zhuo was furious when they learned that the imperial envoy was imprisoned.  Anyway, he was about to announce the relocation of the capital recently and needed heads to scare the civil and military officials.  So Dong Zhuo quickly returned to Luoyang with Li Ru and others, and immediately ordered Yuan Wei and his family to be taken to the Luoshui River and beheaded!

    Considering that Yuan Wei once held a high position, Dong Zhuo could not do anything too great, so he ordered a banquet to be prepared and sent to the prison as a farewell meal.

    Looking at the tables filled with wine and food, Yuan Wei sighed: "Mengde, I, Yuan Wei, have always been proud of Ben Chu and Qiao Dao, but I didn't expect these two bastards to ignore the lives of our whole family for their own power and position.  , Alas! It¡¯s better for you to have a benevolent and filial son!¡±

    During this period, Cao Ang's spies who stayed in Luoyang spared no expense and bribed several of the guards responsible for guarding Cao Cao in the prison. This greatly improved Cao Cao's living conditions. Not only could he have enough to eat, but his injuries were also effectively diagnosed and treated.  .

    Cao Cao smiled slightly, without comment, and said to Yuan Wei in a low voice: "Mr. Yuan, actually they had no choice but to support the Han Dynasty in the beginning! Seeing that Dong Zhuo was so powerful and had power over the government and the emperor, if they had given up originally  If we attack Dong Zhuo now, our Han Dynasty will be overthrown by the unscrupulous Dong Zhuo! Brother Benchu ??may be notorious for sitting back and watching Yuan Gong die, but I, Cao Mengde, can be sure that your Yuan family will definitely be remembered in the history of history.  Leave behind the illustrious reputation of Kuangfu Hanshi!"

    Yuan Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Mengde, you are right, there must be someone who opposes Dong Zhuo's tyranny! I have been a man of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, and there must be someone who can support the Han Dynasty and destroy relatives for justice! But if it falls on me, I always feel a little uncomfortable!  Meng De, I won¡¯t let you have this bowl of road wine, see you in the next life!¡±

    Yuan Wei raised the wine bottle with a wry smile and drank it all in one gulp!

    Cao Cao bowed his hand to Yuan Wei and said, "Good go, Mr. Yuan!"

    ¡­¡­

    Yuan Wei¡¯s family was taken to Luoshui and beheaded en masse, causing a sensation in Luoyang.  Many ministers who cared about the Han Dynasty had to lower their heads and obey Dong Zhuo's orders.  As a result, few people conveyed news to the Kwantung Allied Forces, and everyone could only stand in front of Hulao Pass and make random guesses, but Cao Ang was not included among them.

    Long before he raised his army, Cao Ang sent people to quietly sneak into Luoyang with a large amount of property, set up the Juxian Inn, and collect intelligence for future use.  However, after revolting, Dong Zhuo ordered the blockade of Hulao Pass and other major checkpoints, and Juxian Inn could not send any news at all.

    Until Dong Zhuo led his army to Hulao Pass, the daily consumption was very high. The grain, grass and wood stored in the pass were not enough for the army, so he had to open the gate and let the soldiers go out to cut trees and collect grain and grass for the army.  Taking this opportunity, Cao Angcai got in touch with Juxian Inn, confirmed the news that Cao Cao was still alive, and also got the latest developments in Luoyang City.

    So Cao Ang summoned Wei Zi, Li Su, Liao Hua, Le Jin, Li Dian, Han Hao, Shi Huan and other generals to gather in the tent to listen to the emissary's report on the situation in Luoyang City.

    According to the report of the secret envoy, Cao Cao is now imprisoned in the largest prison in Luoyang City. This prison is under the control of Henan Yin Zhujun and is specially used to detain these serious criminals.

    The chef at Juxian Inn once considered taking Zhu Jun's route to rescue Cao Cao.  It was only after they came into contact with Zhu Jun that they discovered that Zhu Jun, the Henan Yin, had no real power at all and was completely ignored by Li Ru.

    Moreover, Zhu Jun¡¯s position as Yin of Henan was also unstable. Not long ago, in order to give his move of the capital a legal cloak, Dong Zhuo specially recommended Zhu Jun as his imperial servant to serve as his deputy and coordinate the move of the capital.

    However, Zhu Jun rejected Dong Zhuo's appointment and said to the envoy who read out the appointment letter: "Moving the capital to Chang'an will definitely disappoint the people of the world, and will also strengthen the momentum of the Kwantung Allied Forces. I think the capital should not be moved, and I will not accept the imperial servants."  Appointment!¡±

    The envoy was frightened and hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "The prime minister invited you to the palace, just to appoint you as a servant and give you a name, but you openly refused, which is inappropriate. I am just a small messenger.  What kind of power do you have, please don¡¯t talk nonsense! I have seniors and juniors in my family, please don¡¯t get me involved!¡±

    Zhu Jun sighed and said, "Well, if you go back to the Prime Minister's Kingdom, you can say that I, Zhu Jun, have limited abilities and cannot be qualified for the high position of the servant. Moreover, moving the capital is not a feasible plan in my opinion. Reject the official position that I cannot afford, and state that I  What I feel is the most urgent matter is my duty as a subordinate!¡±

    Zhu Jun¡¯s words were quite polite, and since he had been an official for many years and had great prestige, Dong Zhuo could not force him too much.  Can onlyThe edict appointing Zhu Jun as the imperial servant was burned, and he continued to serve as the nominal Yin of Henan.

    After listening to the envoy's introduction to Zhu Jun, everyone couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Li Su winked at Cao Ang. Cao Ang understood and asked Xi Zuo to step back.

    Just listen to Li Su whisper: "Lord, generals, don't be disappointed yet. Although we can't rely on Zhu Jun to rescue the old lord, we can understand the dynamics of the high-level officials in the city through him and avoid being deceived. After all, he is also  Even though Li Ru ignored the legitimate Henan Yin, some things still couldn't be hidden from him.

    "Besides, although the emissary sent by Dong Zhuo last night said that he could exchange hostages with us and exchange Hu Zhen for the old lord, he did not agree on a specific time or place. Maybe there is a conspiracy in it.  With Zhu Jun as our eyes and ears in Luoyang, we can act with peace of mind!  "

    Li Su¡¯s words made sense, and all the generals nodded.

    At this time, Cao Ang also whispered: "Now behind closed doors, everyone can speak freely. I believe that after this period of time, everyone has a clear understanding of the various princes in our allied forces. I dare to say that among them  Most people, thinking about preserving their own positions of power, have no intention of attacking Hulao Pass, let alone regaining Luoyang. Otherwise, how come the army has been stuck at Hulao Pass for so long without even a decent attack?  !

    ??Everyone here is a loyal person who cares about the Han Dynasty. We must set a good example for the coalition forces!  Only in this way can we invade Luoyang and rescue not only my father, but also the emperor and his party.

    The emissary just talked about the situation in Luoyang. We can draw the conclusion that Dong Zhuo has made up his mind to move the capital. The ministers in the court dare not speak out but can only obey his orders.  Moving the capital is a very trivial and troublesome matter. If Dong Zhuo is busy with this matter, he will definitely reduce his attention to the front line.  As for the front-line soldiers such as Hulao Pass, if they hear that the imperial court is moving the capital, their military morale will definitely be dispirited, and they will give us a chance to break through!  "

    Cao Ang¡¯s words did make sense, and everyone nodded.

    Li Su said in a deep voice: "L¨¹ Bu has just joined Dong Zhuo's command and was driven away by our army not long ago. He must want to save his face and will definitely defend Hulao Pass to prove his worth. And Li Jue, who is fighting against Sun Jian and Bao Xin,  , Guo Si, are all the confidants of the Dong thief. They rely on themselves as old men of the Xiliang Army to run rampant. I estimate that as soon as Dong Zhuo evacuates Luoyang, the two of them will hand over the defense and be eager to leave. Then we will break the  The best time to pass!¡±

    Wei Zi nodded after hearing this: "What Mr. Li said makes sense. Sun Wentai and Bao Yunjie are our true allies if they dare to confront the Xiliang Army head-on!"

    "That's right!" Cao Ang clapped his hands and praised: "I will go and discuss with leader Yuan and go to Liang County where Uncle Wentai is now to help in the war. Anyway, we can't fight in front of Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao should agree."

    So a few days later, Cao Ang came to Liang County with 3,000 troops, and was warmly welcomed by Sun Jian, Bao Xin and others.

    When Guan Yu warmed wine and beheaded Hua Xiong, he rescued Huang Gai. After Cao Ang arrived at the camp, he immediately went to visit Huang Gai, who was recovering from his serious injury, and gave him a gift of condolences.  Cao Ang's actions immediately won Sun Jian's approval, and he had saved Sun Jian before. With this relationship, the distance between them quickly narrowed.

    So after receiving the wind and cleansing the dust, Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and Cao Ang gathered together to discuss secretly. Cao Ang revealed all the information he had obtained. Sun Jian was overjoyed: "The time for revenge has finally arrived. When the news of Dong Zhuo's withdrawal from Luoyang comes,  The thieves on the opposite side will definitely be upset, and we will definitely be able to break their blockage! I, Sun Jian, will also be the first to rush to Luoyang City and avenge the previous shame!"

    Bao Xin also nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "Wentai, Zixiu, the main force of the Allied forces is now trapped under Hulao Pass and cannot advance even an inch! If we can break through the enemy's defense on the opposite side, we can bypass Hulao Pass and intercept it.  Their retreat. When the time comes, the bandit army in Hulao Pass will definitely flee in confusion, and we can attack with the main force of the Dongdong Allied Forces from front to back and annihilate them all in one fell swoop!"

    The three of them reached a consensus and sent out a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of the defenders on the opposite side.  At the same time, the three of them continued to recruit young and strong people nearby and train them to expand their strength.

    A few days later, Li Jue and Guo Si received the news and were extremely shocked.  Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and Cao Ang, none of these three guys are cheap. Are they training troops now and want to launch an attack?  It is now the eve of the army's withdrawal from Luoyang. If Sun Jian and the others are entangled here, they may be abandoned by the army, and they will face a desperate situation by then!

    Li Jue was more arrogant and immediately sent a messenger to Sun Jian in the name of Dong Zhuo to persuade the three of them to remain neutral.  The messenger even made a sweeping promise: As long as Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and Cao Ang strictly guard the center,If they are established, Dong Xiangguo will pardon their previous sins and reward the list of heroes they listed!  At that time, even if you are the governor or the governor, it will not be a problem!

    Facing the temptation offered by the envoy, how could Sun Jian lose his dignity in front of Bao Xin and Cao Ang? He heard him sternly declare: "Dong Zhuo is rebellious and unethical. I, Sun Jian, are incompatible with him! If I don't slaughter his three tribes, I won't  Report him everywhere and I will never rest in peace!"
