Ding Yuan was so angry that he threw away a harsh words. The lieutenant of Xiyuan would never dare to object. Xiyuan soldiers did too many evil things in the palace. If everyone was not concerned about robbing money and playing with women, how could a group of eunuchs escape from the palace? How could they escape dozens of miles with barefoot, not to mention that only Lu Zhi and a dozen Min Gong rescued the emperor?

Dong Zhuo could not punish so many soldiers, but he could definitely easily kill all the lieutenants, including Cao Cao. In order to avoid punishment, the soldiers would definitely abandon their leader as soon as possible.

The eight lieutenants of Xiyuan did not dare to object, and Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang, and Zhang Zhang did not dare to talk too much. Nangong was the one who set fire to the fire. No matter how powerful Yuan Wei was, Dong Zhuoruo even blamed the crime of "burning the palace", and Yuan Wei had no choice.

Of course, Dong Zhuo's intention was not to cut off Yuan Shu's head. The Yuan family was in the court and the people had a very high prestige. It would not be beneficial to him to completely offend the Yuan family to death, but it did not mean that he could not use this incident to warn the Yuan family.

Dong Zhuo has been in the position of lieutenant for twenty years. He knows the ideas of the lower-level soldiers than anyone else. It is very simple to control the lieutenants of Xiyuan. As soon as he comes, he will take Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang, and Zhang Zhang to start the operation, which is mainly to shock the lieutenants of Xiyuan. But this is only in the hall for a while. If these guys don’t see Dong Zhuo really dare to take action, they will not be in awe and fear, and they will never easily get out of the Xiyuan army. If they don’t get out, how can their generals rise? How can their subordinates be satisfied?

Therefore, it is necessary to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and Ding Yuan’s confidant and beloved general Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang’s heads were placed in front of everyone.

The first discussion on "destruction and establishment" was a bit terrible. Dong Zhuo did nothing except chopping off two heads... He couldn't say nothing, at least Yuan Shao gave Yuan Wei a word.

"Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang is the confidant and beloved general of General Ding Yuan, so let's kill him."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu told them all about today, and even the "Xiping" spirits were missing.

Yuan Shao said: "Dong Zhuo's ambition is revealed. If my Yuan family does not fight back, the world will be in chaos because of that thief."

Yuan Wei sighed lightly: "What I said at the beginning is very true, but you must know that he has Liang and Iron Cavalry and Miyang's tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Even if he is not in Luoyang now, he will have enough ability if he wants to cause trouble."

Yuan Shu said dissatisfiedly: "That thief has soldiers, isn't there any of them in the court? If the whole world is fighting against thieves, will that thief dare to fight with loyal people all over the world?"

Yuan Wei nodded silently and smiled bitterly again.

"If our dynasty was at its peak, Liangbian Iron Cavalry would be regarded as the Qiang in Liangzhou and the Huns, Emperor Wu and Emperor Xuan were mighty, how could my Han Dynasty have ever been afraid of any Qiang and Hu? However, today is different from the past. There is no money and grain in the treasury. How can we recruit 200,000 troops?"

"Besides... the governors of each state may have the will to be independent. If Dong Zhuo causes chaos and destroys our dynasty, the governors of each state will surely reappear in the situation of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

"How can the ministers of a country, the lords of a country, and the governors of each state be willing to help the court to suppress the thieves?"

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's heart beat violently. The two brothers looked at each other inexplicably and immediately turned their heads together, but they also understood.

In a state, the one who truly holds great power is the prefect of each county. In order to supervise the independence or illegality of the prefects of each county, the governor is used to supervise. In fact, the governor cannot directly interfere in the specific governance of the prefects of each county. The governor is an expanded version of the prefects of the prefects of the county and an enhanced version of the governor. He can take charge of all things in a state and even recommend the appointment of the prefects of each county himself. The power is almost as great as the land of a country. Under such rights, over time, he will inevitably become a real prince in the place of a place.

Once the governor of the state becomes a real prince, who would be willing to have another court on his head to suppress it? Perhaps it would be more in line with the interests of all princes when Dong Zhuo killed the Han Dynasty, so that they could reappear during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the princes of various countries competed for hegemony, and they would all be kings. Under such interests, how could they send all their strength to fight Dong Zhuo to the death?

Yuan Wei sighed in his heart. He knew that there was no way to fight Dong Zhuo head-on, but he absolutely did not believe that Dong Zhuo would get a good advantage. The internal and external treasury was empty. He wanted to continue to support tens of thousands of soldiers as he did when the Han Dynasty recruited soldiers. That was not to think about it. However, the Eighth Camps of Xiyuan in Luoyang and the Tens of Thousands of Han soldiers were regular soldiers of the Han Dynasty. They had to be treated as recruiting soldiers, that is, they had to be given twenty-one stones of grain and eight thousand coins a year.

The standard configuration of the Eighth Battalion in Xiyuan is 16,000 people, plus the soldiers in Luoyang City Gate, there are about 30,000 people in Luoyang, plus the 60,000 Han soldiers in Meiyang, these soldiers need 2 million stones of grain and 100,000 coins a year, and there are 3.1 million people in the Sili School Guards' Department. In other words, each person needs to pay one stone of grain and three hundred and forty coins, and these are just the butt soldiers without swords and arrows. Just relying on the Sili School Guards' Department, how can they be qualified to raise so many soldiers? Not to mention that the outer warehouse can starve rats to death now, the wealth and goods in the palace were looted by the chaos, and even the skirts of the palace maids were not spared. In this dilemma of the court, let alone 100,000 soldiers, it would be good to support Dong Zhuo's headquarters' 5,000 soldiers.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance to frugality. Soldiers are not workers at work. They will draw their swords to kill people after their treatment is reduced, especially when their treatment is suddenly reduced. This is the most dangerous time for commanding soldiers. Dong Zhuo was excited and had not yet figured out the dilemma that was about to face. How could Yuan Wei, who had been in the court for decades, not see it?

Yuan Wei suddenly laughed disdainfully and said: "The court has no money to support soldiers, so Dong Zhuo can only try his best to plunder the people. If he cannot plunder, he will force all major families to pay for money and food. Not only are the soldiers dissatisfied due to lack of money and food, but the generals dissatisfied, but in the end, even all major families will be dissatisfied. Today's rampant is just a disaster tomorrow, so why do you care?"

"hehe……"

"If he wants to depose the emperor, let him depose him. You may also leave Luoyang because of dissatisfaction, and you will have reason to establish an excuse to attack him in the future."

The two brothers were excited and finally understood Yuan Wei's plan. Yuan Shu hesitated and said, "Dong Zhuo wants to depose the emperor...Do the court officials agree?"

"hehe……"

Yuan Wei suddenly laughed.

"You really think those guys are stupid as pigs? They want Dong Zhuo to abolish the emperor, so they can take the opportunity to escape, such as Cao Song, the Siyuan... After so many years of greed, the cunning old man will definitely resign from the Siyuan position as soon as possible and will definitely take the opportunity to leave Luoyang."

Gu Dao

"hehe……"

"You don't need to ask about this matter. Dong Zhuo threatened you to the highway. It would be good to take the opportunity to leave, but it would be really dangerous to stay."

Yuan Shao said with some concern: "As uncle said, the court has no way to control Dong Zhuo. Once he has the power, the world will be in chaos. Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for his uncle to stay in Luoyang?"

"hehe……"

Yuan Wei smiled without comment.

"Can my uncle leave?"

The study suddenly became quiet...

"Okay!"

"What should you do? Decide yourself. If you have the opportunity, leave. Don't hesitate too much to save yourself from your life."

Yuan Wei was right. He was the Grand Tutor and the leader of the Qingliu scholars in the world. At least in the matter of eliminating the eunuch party, his Yuan family became the leader. When Dong Zhuo was in trouble, he, the leader, was the first to escape. Will he still be the leader of the Qingliu scholars? Who cares about the prestige of their Yuan family in the future?

When the eunuch party is in trouble with the country, whoever becomes the forefront of the confrontation with the eunuch party will gain the greatest reputation, whoever can make a promise with a hundred promises, and whoever can have no taboos. Similarly, Dong Zhuo is in trouble with the court, whoever becomes the leader of the resistance will be recognized by countless people and will become the leader of the princes!

And this is the power of political correctness!

While the uncle and nephew discussed, Cao Song, Cao Cao and his son were also discussing. The content was similar, but there was a slight difference. It was not Cao Cao, who was the younger generation, who took the opportunity to escape, but the old Cao Song. In addition to them, the major families who learned in advance that Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the emperor were also staged similar dramas. All the ministers who had lived in the court for a long time knew very well where the Han Dynasty was really rooted. The root of the lack of money and food could not be solved. Whoever did it was at the highest point would be unlucky.

When the emperor sat at the highest point, the emperor had to try to solve the problem of not having money to support soldiers in wars, and he needed to solve the salary of officials. Emperor Huan Liu Zhi and Emperor Ling Liu Hong were not as stupid as others thought. They did not want to attract hatred for money, and let the eunuchs attract hatred firepower. If any eunuch has reached a certain level of hatred, it would be impossible to pull out and chop off his head and let people relieve hatred. This way to transfer conflicts will be ruined in later generations.

But now that the hated eunuch is gone, Dong Zhuo is willing to sit at the highest point, and it will inevitably become everyone's firepower point, unless he immediately disbands the Xiyuan Army and Meiyang Army, but is this reality?

The major families discussed Dong Zhuo's "destroying the emperor and establishing the emperor", but they were soon attracted by the battle between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.

Ding Yuan took Lu Bu away from Dong Zhuo's temporary residence. The more he thought about it, he became more annoyed. When he returned to the camp, he summoned all the troops. The troops on both sides were equal and he was optimistic and directly fought against Ping's optimism. As expected, Ding Yuan's general Lu Bu defeated Dong Zhuo in front of the formation, but even Fan Chou and Hu Zhen could not do him. In the end, he fought against Ding Yuan to defeat him.

After seeing this scene, the major families originally wanted to pinch their noses and let Dong Zhuo depose Emperor, but when they saw this scene, many people were shaken again. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers wanted to wait for some time to take a look. Perhaps Ding Yuan could create a miracle, not necessarily...

Dong Zhuo's heart and lungs were almost blown up. He didn't expect Ding Yuan to dare to confront him head-on. What was even more angry was that he actually lost by fighting alone!

"snort!"

"If the tiger baby is here, how can Lu Bu be so arrogant--"

"Bang!"

Dong Zhuo almost slapped the table with a slap. Although Fan Chou and Hu Zhen were not injured much, they were almost captured by Lu Bu alive. Their old face was also ashen, and everyone had a dark face and did not speak. At this moment, a general wearing armor walked out.

"Lord, I am a fellow villager with Lü Bu. Although Lü Bu is a great martial artsman and has the courage of thousands of men, he is a brave man who is not good at seeing profits and is actually a brave but unscheming person. If the lord wants to subdue this person, I am willing to go and persuade him!"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and saw that it was Li Su, Wuyuan County, and some veterans in Liangzhou didn't like it very much.

"good!"

Just as Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, Li Su showed some dismay.
