Chapter 96 I’m surrounded by moles? Dong Zhuo is confused! [Please order first]
At this moment in Luoyang city.
Wang Yun was sitting in the study, looking at the white cloth in his palm with a black face.
There seemed to be a look of confusion on his face.
After having breakfast today, he moved around in the yard for a while before coming to the study to handle official duties.
As a result, as soon as I sat down at the desk, I saw this piece of cloth pressed under the bamboo slip.
The content above shocked him directly.
"The assassination of Dong failed. I have fled Luoyang. I hope Situ will take care of himself. See you soon!"
He only arranged for one person to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and that was Cao Cao, so it is self-evident who sent this banner.
Wang Yun did not expect Cao Cao to move so quickly.
And life is so great.
He actually managed to survive after assassinating Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang City.
It's absolutely impossible to do this without any ability.
It's a pity that the assassination failed.
And he couldn't run away like Cao Cao, so he could only continue to serve as Situ in this city.
The risk came up immediately!
After all, Dong Zhuo was assassinated and he must have been extremely angry afterwards. He would have put up wanted notices everywhere and launched an effort to arrest Cao Cao.
If Cao Cao had not been caught, then everything would be fine. His identity could be kept secret and Dong Zhuo would not be implicated.
But what if Cao Cao is captured?
If this guy is a lax talker, he will be tortured and everything will be done to him.
Including himself, all the old ministers who conspired in the secret room will become the dead souls of Dong Zhuo.
"Pooh!"
Wang Yun couldn't help but spit.
You said that Cao Mengde was so passionate that he went to assassinate Dong Zhuo regardless of the situation.
If you succeed, it will be easy to say.
If you fail, you will sacrifice yourself!
As a result, it is now half-dead, leaving a huge hidden danger outside, and we don't know when it will explode.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have made any assassination plan in the first place. Is Dong Zhuo that easy to assassinate?
At the moment when Wang Yun was panicking.
The study door was suddenly pushed open.
Then a servant walked in quickly.
"Master Fu, I have checked several places and found that the Cao family's residence is completely empty. There is not even a caretaker."
"In addition, when I arrived, I saw a group of soldiers knocking on the door, and they seemed to want to see if anyone was still in the house."
"At the same time, I heard that the upper east gate of the inner city and the outer city gate along the line were closed for more than an hour today, and no one was allowed to get close. At the same time, there were troops entering and exiting there."
Wang Yun is even more certain of a fact.
What is written on the strip is true!
Cao Cao was also a very clever boy. He arranged for his family to leave in advance, but surprisingly no one was left. The group of soldiers was sent by Dong Zhuo to seize Cao's family.
After today's assassination, I was lucky enough to escape from Dong Zhuo. He probably left through the upper east gate, so Dong Zhuo wanted to blockade that place and send a large army to catch him along the way.
Everything is connected!
Wang Yun felt that his inference was absolutely correct.
But the more this happens, the more dangerous he becomes.
Without saying anything, he quickly put the cloth strip on the candle and lit it, burning it into a ball of black ashes.
Then he told his servants: "Don't go out in the next few days. You can hide in your house for a few days. No matter who asks, you have to say that you haven't gone out today, and you haven't asked about any city gates or Cao Cao."
Family matters.”
Wang Yun made up his mind to hide himself.
Cut off all ties with Cao Cao.
What Cao Mengde?
I'm so unfamiliar with him!
As for the seven-star sword and the like, I'm sorry, that's a rumor. My family has never had such a thing. It is a heirloom of Cao Cao's family!
…………
And at the same time Wang Yun was panicking.
Dong Zhuo, who was located in the North Palace, was also listening to the reports of his soldiers. His brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes calmed down, obviously his mood fluctuated a lot.
"Are you saying that the entire Cao family has been emptied out, the entire mansion is closed, and there isn't even a person guarding the house?"
The general who was half-kneeling below quickly nodded in agreement.
"My subordinates took a team of people to Cao's house to have a look. All the main and small doors were sealed. After listening carefully, it was quiet inside. There was no movement at all. It didn't look like anyone was living inside."
"Dong Gong, you said you are not allowed to be rude or trespass, so my subordinates just looked around and did not dare to open the door and break in."
"But according to what we found based on the clues, the servants who originally worked for the Cao family said that except for those who stayed in Luoyang voluntarily, everyone else left together."
He waved his hand to signal the general to retreat.
Dong Zhuo was leaning on the throne.
His frown deepened.
"The building is empty, no one is left."
"Could it be that Cao Zixiu took all his relatives and servants away with him because he wanted to leave Luoyang and never come back?"
One cannot blame Dong Zhuo for being suspicious.
After all, this is what Cao Ang thinks.
What he did was too obvious and superficial, so Dong Zhuo would inevitably have doubts after hearing the news.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo's eyes began to flash with dangerous light, it seemed that he was about to make some kind of decision that was not beneficial to Cao Ang.
Li Ru, who had been standing beside him silently, spoke.
"Ming Gong, I have a different view on this matter. Then Cao Ang may have another reason."
"oh?"
Dong Zhuo looked at his chief counselor.
There was a searching look in his eyes.
He still trusted Li Ru very much. After all, he was his top think tank. Without Li Ru's advice, Dong Zhuo would not have been able to make many decisions.
What's more, Li Ru and Cao Ang have never had any friendship, and they may not have said a word to each other.
In this way, Li Ru's analysis is more worth listening to and very credible.
He saw Dong Zhuo looking at him.
Li Ru bowed his hand first.
Then he said eloquently: "My subordinates have never had contact with Cao Ang and don't know much about him, but you once said it, Duke Ming."
"This person came up with the plan to control Yuan Shao. He also explained to you the dangers of letting Yuan Shao go. I wonder if what I said is wrong?"
Dong Zhuo nodded.
He did tell Li Ru about this.
And it was only after Li Ru was also sure that this matter had advantages and no disadvantages that he resolutely decided to pursue it.
"There is such a thing, so what?"
"So Cao Ang's move is tantamount to severing himself from Yuan Shao's camp. By doing this, he is dragging Yuan Shao into the pit of fire. If I were Yuan Benchu, I would definitely not let him go!"
"If the world is divided into two camps, one is Duke Ming and the other is against you, then Cao Ang will only have one camp left to choose from."
"So in the eyes of my subordinates, he won't be stupid enough to leave and never come back. That would be disgraceful to both sides."
Reasonable and well-founded.
