At night, most of the daytime guests in the Yellow Mansion had dispersed.

In the huge conference hall, there were no less than twenty figures.

Huang Wan, as today's birthday star, dressed in a brocade robe trimmed with red silk, slowly walked in from outside the hall, and everyone in the hall got up and bowed to him.

Walking to the main seat in the hall, Huang Wan opened his sleeved robe and sat down in an orderly manner.

"Summoning you here today, celebrating the old man's birthday is only secondary, the main thing is to hear what you have to do." Huang Wan spoke, not angry and arrogant in his voice.

Yuan Shu's arrival at Shangluo was known to everyone in the hall, and now they can be described as grasshoppers on a rope.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

As long as they wait for Yuan Shu to enter the city, they will be considered finished. But before that, they had to do something to be on the safe side.

For example, to purge the power of Lu Bu in the city.

Lü Bu went out of the customs with his soldiers and horses to Luoyang, leaving only Song Xian and Hou Cheng to guard the city.

"Sikong, the captain guarding the Xi'an Gate in the south is my protégé, and I have privately instructed him that as soon as Yuan Highway's army arrives, he will immediately open the city to welcome him into the customs." A middle-aged official in the hall stood up and said.

After he sat down, the official next to him got up and continued to face Huang Wan: "The soldiers and horses in all parts of the city have been arranged, and you can act immediately as soon as you give an order. ”

Then the others also got up and said their corresponding tasks.

After listening to this, Huang Wan deliberated again and again in his mind, and after confirming that it was correct, he took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression: "I will go to the Son of Heaven tomorrow to ask for an edict, whether the Son of Heaven agrees or not, we will say that it is an edict to surrender the thief, understand?" ”

There is no turning back when he opens the bow, since he has decided to take this road, even if there is an abyss in front of him, he must rush through it head-on.

"I'll get it."

Everyone stood up and bowed their hands, and many people's faces were already eager to try, and they couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts.

Success or failure is all in one move.

At this time, a decent official added: "Sikong, for the sake of prudence, the lower officials think that Lu Bu's wife and daughter should be seized first and controlled." At that time, even if Lu Bu rushes back to Chang'an thousands of miles, we can also use it to threaten Lu Bu and force him to comply. ”

It's also a shame that when he said this, he didn't feel ashamed at all, and his face was full of sanctimoniousness.

It is no longer a secret that Lu Bu values family affection.

It is said that he was willing to work for the tiger under Dong Zhuo, and a large part of the reason was that his wife and daughter were trapped in Luoyang.

When everyone in the hall heard this, a small number of people frowned, obviously disdainful of such a villainous behavior. Most of the rest are tacitly aware that they don't care if the means are despicable or not, as long as they are practical.

They knew very well in their hearts that if they fought head-on, the chance of winning against Shang Lu Bu was almost zero.

The crowd talked to each other in the Yellow Mansion until late at night, and decided to launch a mutiny tomorrow night.

At noon the next day, southeast of Guanzhong Zuo Feng Yi, under the Tomb Ling Mountain, a team of 5,000 people was stationed here.

"Lord, Yuan Shu is in the trap."

Under the big tree that covered the sky, Gao Shun, who was studying the map, said in a deep voice.

In order to hide people's eyes, Lu Bu only brought two thousand wolf cavalry camps with him when he returned. When passing through Hangu Pass, he transferred another 3,000 foot soldiers from Hangu Pass, and by the way, he also recruited Gao Shun's trap camp.

Yuan Shu entered the customs, something to be expected.

Lu Bu was feeding the red grass to the red man, and when he heard it, he opened his mouth and asked down: "Where has he been?" ”

Gao Shun replied: "Shangyu." ”

"Shangluo is more than 500 miles away from Chang'an, and even if you march quickly, it will take three or five days." Of course, this is a speculation made on the premise of not abandoning the foot soldiers.

Gao Shun nodded, compared to the location of Shangluo, it was obviously closer to Chang'an from the Tomb Ling Mountain where they were located.

Da Da ~ Da Da ~ The galloping horses drove the sound of horses' hooves at a rapid pace, and arrived at Lu Bu's camp in an instant.

"General, Chang'an is in a hurry!"

The soldier on horseback rolled his saddle and dismounted, and without resting, he took out the letter from his bosom and offered it with both hands.

Lu Bu took the bamboo slip with the seal intact, opened it and browsed it. Inside the bamboo slip, there is also a roll of cloth, open it and look at it, all the names written on it are people.

After reading it, Lu Bu handed the bamboo slips to Gao Shun and Xu Rong to inspect, and the silk cloth with a large number of names written on them was put away.

When Xu Rong took the bamboo slip, he was obviously a little excited. Imagine that he had just taken refuge in Lu Bu and had not yet achieved an inch, but Lu Bu was able to hand over such an important letter to himself, and he was moved by this sufficient trust.

After reading it, the two of them both looked solemn, if these things said above the bamboo slip were true, then Lu Bu's situation was critical.

One of the most eye-catching things is that he wants to use Yan Wei's mother and daughter to coerce Lu Bu.

"My lord, the situation is urgent, and I think it is imperative that we rush back to Chang'an immediately, clear up the treacherous, and protect the master's mother." Gao Shun said in a deep voice, he knew what his family meant to Lu Bu.

Xu Rong nodded yes, clenched his fists and said: "The last general agrees with General Gao's opinion, these people actually use this rat method to be vain. ”

Sage Cloud: A gentleman has something to do and something not to do.

No matter how embarrassed he is, Xu Rong will not use such despicable means.

Lu Bu didn't have much change in his expression about this, and said as if he was accustomed to it: "They want to bite back, but I may not be Mr. Dongguo." ”

Subsequently, Lu Bu asked people to call Cao Xing and Ma Zhong.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Cao Xing, who came to Lu Bu, said with a smile and no restraint.

"Are you familiar with Chang'an City?" Lu Bu asked him.

"Boss, it's not me who blows, in Chang'an City, up to the prince's mansion, down to the wine shop and gambling house, there is no place that I don't know." There are so many generals under Lu Bu, and the most lazy and playful one is Cao Xing.

Every time he goes to a new place, Cao Xing must go to those places where he walks around a few times.

Perhaps this is what people often say, 'the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change'.

"It's good to be cooked, there's a task I want to give you two to do."

Lu Bu beckoned the two of them to the front and whispered about his plan.

After listening, the two glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of irrepressible excitement. Cao Xing even slapped his chest and praised Haikou: "Boss, you just wait for our good news!" ”

Ma Zhong also nodded, indicating that he would definitely complete the task.

Then, Lu Bu took out the silk cloth in his arms, took a cinnabar pen, and circled a few names on the silk cloth.

Because Cao Xing was not very literate, Lu Bu handed over the silk cloth to Ma Zhong and said to him: "After you enter the city, except for these few people with red letters, ......"

He paused, and the murderous intent in his eyes was awe-inspiring: "The rest of the people can be killed!" ”

In troubled times, we should use heavy codes.
