Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C376

Yuan Shu hastily went to the Hubai Guards Barracks and immediately called for his two most trusted generals, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun. Currently, the Hussar General Yang Lin had already informed the world that they would definitely attack the Luoyang within the tenth day. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not fear danger, but I want to escape and avoid danger. Are the two of you willing to leave the Luoyang with me? ”

Ji Ling and Zhang Xun were the subordinates of Yuan Shu for many years and were extremely loyal to him. Furthermore, they also knew that Dong Zhuo was very unpopular. Rather than accompanying Dong Zhuo and waiting for his death, it would be better if he followed him outside. “We are willing to follow Lord General, and we will follow his lead.”

“Good!” Zhang Xun, go and bring back the six horses. Yuan Shu did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately took action. Of course, he would not forget the money he had borrowed in the past few days. He had brought along a few more horses just so that he could carry the money on his back.

Cao Cao escaped from Dong Zhuo’s residence and quickly walked on the street with his two short legs. His mind was quickly thinking of a way to escape. Since Dong Zhuo had ordered the soldiers to search for him in the garden, they must have already sent people to his home or camp to search for him. It was a small matter that he could not take out the money from his family, but without horses, how could he escape Luoyang?

“Hello …” Who’s running around in the street? ” Just as he was struggling with his thoughts, he suddenly ran into a group of soldiers who were on the other side of him. Cao Cao wanted to dodge, but was discovered by the soldiers in front. Cao Cao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward, but to discover that it was a soldier led by Henan Province’s Wang Yun.

“So it’s Master Cao Cao of the Riding the Commander. You’re not home this late at night, and you’re still strolling on the streets?” Wang Yun hurriedly went up to greet him, but there were some questions in his heart. He had heard that this Cao Cao had a lustful problem. He didn’t come home this late, was he trying to get that wife of hers again?

From Wang Yun’s tone, Cao Cao could tell that Wang Yun did not receive his orders, and immediately came up with an idea, “Sigh …. Lord Wang, how could I have the mind to stroll around? Yuan Shu that bastard, lent me a million money, saying that he’s going to give State a gift, but who would have thought that he actually took my money to gamble outside the city, I was just about to chase that bastard. It just so happens that you can lend me a horse, I will go and catch up with Yuan Shu. ”

“I knew that Yuan Shu would not learn well, and would do everything to shame the Yuan Family. Even Master Tutor would not properly manage him.” Wang Yun obviously knew Yuan Shu’s character, not only did he support Cao Cao’s righteous actions, he also sent four helpers to him. “Wang Zhi, Qin Qi, Han Fu, and Kong Xiu, the four of you follow Riding the Commander.”

These four generals were generals and uncles under Wang Yun’s command, and had some martial arts skills. Cao Cao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to reject them, but he was afraid of arousing Wang Yun’s suspicions.

Yuan Shu brought Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to East Gate, where the city gates were already closed. Regardless of what Yuan Shu said, without the orders from the Prime Minister, the guards did not open the city gate. Yuan Shu was desperate to escape so he raised his horse whip and lashed his soldiers.

Some soldiers had already informed Commander of the City Gate of this, and when Wu Qiong hurried over, she was already stomping her feet anxiously. Upon seeing Wu Qiong, Yuan Shu stepped forward and grabbed him: “Quickly open the city gate for me. If you delay any longer, I’ll burn your city gate.”

Commander of the City Gate was originally part of Yuan Huo and also one of Yuan Shao’s trusted aides. Seeing Yuan Shu rushing out of the city in such a rush, there must be a reason. Furthermore, with him, who knew how many Wealthy Classes and Scholars he had released, he definitely would not stop Yuan Shu, but he hoped that Yuan Shu could give him a reason so that when Dong Zhuo asked about it, he could also explain it to him. “You’re in such a hurry, what exactly are you doing …”

“Stop talking. I borrowed a million from Cao Cao and I lost all of the dice. Cao Cao was looking for me to stake his life. I have to go out of the city for a few days to hide, and then come back when that dwarf’s anger is gone. ” Yuan Shu was also inspired, and came up with an excuse.

“Hehe …” You guys are no longer young, why are you still doing such disgraceful things? ” Wu Qiong would definitely not believe Yuan Shu’s lies, but once he saw Yuan Shu bringing Ji Ling and Zhang Xun along, she knew that Yuan Shu would never return, so she smiled and said: “Quickly leave, after playing for a few days, you will return.”

Not long after Yuan Shu left, Cao Cao also arrived at East Gate. At this time, Commander of the City Gate was preparing to leave, but when he saw Cao Cao rushing over, he immediately ordered his guards to stop him. Wu Qiong walked over and smiled: “Isn’t Sir Riding the Commander only worth a million? A loss is a loss. Is there a need to gather so many people, and you still want to lead troops to chase after them? ”

How smart of a man Cao Cao was! He immediately knew that Yuan Shu had already left the city and even lied to them. Although he didn’t know what Yuan Shu had said, he was clear that it had something to do with Yuan Shu borrowing money and gambling. He followed what Wu Qiong said and said angrily: “This damned Yuan Shu, you borrowed a million from me. “He lost it all at once. If I don’t get him back and return the money to me, I won’t even have the money to eat.”

The soldiers took it for real and giggled at the side. But no matter how hard Cao Cao complained, they still did not open the city gate. However, he was not in a hurry to open the door, and had even tried to persuade Cao Cao repeatedly, “We are all brothers, if we release you out of the city, you guys can start a fight outside the city and hurt no one.”

“I was just asking him for money, why would they start fighting?” Cao Cao was angered to death, but he could not do anything about it. He didn’t know what Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong was thinking and could only coax them: “The Yuan Family is a big family, why would they care about one million? Yuan Shu just wanted to go back on his words. How about this, you send two people to follow me out, and when we catch up with Yuan Shu and get the money, I will take out a hundred thousand to share with everyone to drink, how about it? ”

“Who wants your money? Don’t even think about bribing us! ” Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong spoke in a serious tone, and upon seeing Cao Cao’s expression change, she knew that Cao Cao was afraid, and laughed, but spoke another word: “Master Riding the Commander, the journey is long, and the mountain road is dangerous, do not forget, there is still us waiting for you in Luoyang!”

Cao Cao’s face was full of suspicion, as he did not know what Commander of the City Gate meant by that. However, he was in a hurry to escape, so he did not have the mood to think about it. He only cupped his hands towards Wu Qiong, then galloped on his horse, quickly disappearing into the vast night.

The soldiers of the Prime Minister’s Palace could not find Cao Cao in the garden, so Dong Zhuo immediately understood that Cao Cao was trying to kill him and immediately ordered the soldiers to go to Cao Cao’s house and camp to apprehend him. However, even after they searched for a long time, they still could not find any trace of Cao Cao.

This way, it further confirmed the fact that Cao Cao was plotting against him. Dong Zhuo immediately ordered for the army to be mobilized, and the imperial government to search the entire city for him. But just as his orders reached East Gate, Commander of the City Gate sent someone to report to Dong Zhuo: Cao Cao and Yuan Shu started a fight because of the gambling, Yuan Shu ran out of the city, Cao Cao chased after Yuan Shu.

Just as Dong Zhuo was enraged and was preparing to capture Commander of the City Gate, he suddenly received a letter from He Nan Yin, sent by Wang Yun. It turned out that when Wang Yun received the order from him, he was shocked upon hearing that Cao Cao was an assassin, and immediately reported that Cao Cao had borrowed his horse and soldiers to chase after Yuan Shu for a gamble.

“Prime Minister, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu had just escaped. In such a short period of time, both Commander of the City Gate and HeNan Yin sent people to report at the same time, showing that they were not colluding. And when Cao Cao was running away, he did not even prepare a horse. For the sake of the stability of the Luoyang, Li Ru did not wish to set off a bloody storm in the Luoyang.

“Could it be that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were taken advantage of just like that?” Although they could not pursue the matter of Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong and He Nan Yin, but Dong Zhuo did not want to let them go. He had so much trust in these two fellows, and had even promoted them to the rank of an official. Yet, they had repaid the debt of gratitude with enmity. It was not enough to warn others about this by not killing them!

“How can we let them get away with this!” We will immediately send out an arrest order to the entire nation, offering a bounty to capture Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. ” Li Ru laughed sinisterly, then said slowly: “As long as we catch Yuan Shu, that old thing Yuan Wu will obediently listen to us.”

“Hehe …” Good idea! Dong Zhuo turned anger into joy and fiercely slammed his palm on the table, then shouted: “Pass down the order, if anyone captures Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, I will give them the title of Official. If anyone dares to hide and shield Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, I will annihilate their entire clan! ”

Yuan knew that Yuan Shu had escaped from the Luoyang, and let out a long sigh. Although Dong Zhuo had put on the hat of assassinating the Minister of the Court, it was undoubtedly giving Yuan Shu’s face a layer of radiance. Yuan Lianye wrote a line of Recital for the Emperor, to reflect on his lack of strict tutoring. Having such an unfilial son like Yuan Shu, as his uncle, he felt that he had a great responsibility and decided to resign.

Dong Zhuo did not think that Yuan Jing would take the initiative to attack him, allowing him to experience the wisdom of the warriors’ political struggles. He only wanted Yuan Zhong to submit to him, not reject him, but he did not want Yuan Wu to pass the trial so easily either. After rejecting Yuan Zhong’s resignation and retaining his position as Tutor, he had taken away his authority over Yuan Shen Shi’s letter, leaving Dong Zhuo alone to take complete control of the imperial government.

That afternoon, Yuan Wu received a letter that Yuan Shu had asked him to bring back. The letter explained in detail why he left without saying goodbye. After Yuan Yuan read Yuan Shu’s letter, he could not help but smile, he knew that the time to retaliate against Dong Zhuo had come.

In the morning assembly on the second day, with Zong Zheng, Liu Ji, Liu Yuan and Sanglang Zhang Kui leading the group of ministers acting together, impeaching the Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, dirtying the palace and dirtying the concubines of the first emperor. More than a dozen of old officials angrily stirred up the court and scolded Dong Zhuo at the same time.

Dong Zhuo did not expect that, in front of his powerful fighting force, there would still be a minister who would dare to scold him. But after all, he had a guilty conscience, so he ordered the soldiers to throw these old men out of the court and hurriedly end the morning assembly.

After he retreated, the more Dong Zhuo thought about it, the angrier he became. If he didn’t teach these old fellows a lesson, maybe they would seize on this matter in the future and continue to cause trouble for him. He immediately called Guo Si over and ordered fiercely: “Go and capture those old fellows, don’t let a single one of them go.”

When Guo Si received the order, he was overjoyed. The favorite thing for the generals and soldiers of West Cold Army to do was to capture and plunder people’s homes, and this was an opportunity for the Prime Minister to make a fortune. Immediately, Guo Si brought her soldiers to capture them.
