A heavy rain overnight washed away the dirt and dust on the earth.
From a distance, a horse riding Juechen came, and the knight shouted loudly from a distance, "Great victory! Great victory! Great victory on the front line! Lord Cao beheaded eight thousand people and captured ten thousand! Great victory! Great victory! Lord Cao will return in triumph immediately!" He kept shouting until he was in front of the coalition camp, and was intercepted by the general stationed at the camp. After strictly identifying his identity, he was let in. However, just when he wanted to report his victory to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the garrison officer took the battle report and took him down to rest before summoning his trusted officers to go to the court tent with the battle report.
Naturally, these people are all close associates of Yuan Shao.
The soldier carrying the battle report came all the way outside the court tent, and happened to hear a childish cry from inside: "You want evidence, Yuan Aiqing, give him evidence. Let him die convinced! It can also be told to the world. , Don’t let people think that I am someone who repays kindness with hatred, and chill the hearts of people all over the world.”
The sergeant felt a shiver in his heart. He weighed the battle report on the bamboo slips in his hand and handed it to a Yuan Jun soldier outside the tent. These Yuan Jun soldiers are all Yuan Shao's personal guards, so it is most appropriate to leave the battle report to them. And those Yuan Shao's personal guards naturally knew some of Yuan Shao's plans, and after thinking about it, they threw the battle report into the brazier aside.
In the court tent, Yuan Shao raised his hands to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and said loudly: "I obey the holy order!" After saying that, Yuan Shao walked up to Yin Kuang and said: "A certain person came to ask you where you are from." Yin Kuang's heart sank and he said, "I am from Pingyuan, Qingzhou." Yin Kuang originally appeared within the jurisdiction of Pingyuan County. If Yuan Shao really wanted to trace the source, he would definitely be able to find it, so he would simply tell the truth. Yuan Shao said "hmm" and asked again: "As far as I know, you first served as the chief of scouts under General Gongsun. When did you become Cao Mengde's subordinate?"
Yin Kuang said righteously: "Master Cao calls on all the heroes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo. This is where justice lies! I yearn for it!"
How smart is Yin Kuang? He didn't think that Yuan Shao would have trouble with him. Then just think about it and you can figure out that Yuan Shao is preparing to use himself against Cao Cao. As long as his identity as a traitor is confirmed, Cao Cao will inevitably be implicated.
Yuan Shao choked and looked at Yin Kuang with a pair of bright eyes, feeling that he was "looking down on this kid" in his heart. Then he coughed and said, "So you are really a righteous person?" Before Yin Kuang could speak, Yuan Shao raised his voice and scolded sternly, "If that's the case, why did you collude with that Dong thief!?" Yin Kuang said in a deep voice: "Catch the thief and get dirty, and catch the adulterous pair. Leader Yuan, please don't spit on others."
"Haha!" Yuan Shao smiled.
Yuan Shu stood up and pointed directly at Yin Kuang, "Ignorant bastard, my elder brother... Leader Yuan is just and righteous. He has a reputation and is well known to the world. Now he is in the position of leader of the alliance against thieves. He has high hopes and important responsibilities from His Majesty. How could he frame you?" This country man!?" Yuan Shao shook his sleeves and shouted Yuan Shu away. He didn't know how much his younger brother weighed, but he didn't want to mess up his plan by talking nonsense. He immediately said to Yin Kuang: "Okay! Then I'm here to ask you again. There is a dangerous Hulao pass between Luoyang and this place. , but you passed through the wilderness path. How did you know about that path? Everyone knows that there are ferocious beasts in the wilderness, and even if tens of thousands of people get into it, they may not be able to get out. How can you possibly explore it? That hidden path?”
Originally, Yin Kuang wanted to use the loopholes in Yuan Shu's words to refute, but he didn't want Yuan Shao to pursue him fiercely, and he didn't even have a chance to speak. Moreover, the questions Yuan Shao asked seemed a bit innocuous. Yin Kuang could only say: "I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and it's easy to climb over the mountains and ridges."
"Okay! This is enough. Then let me ask you again, the Luoyang Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, with the Xiliang Army outside and the Flying Bear Army stationed inside. How did you get past the layers of guards and enter the Forbidden Palace? Or did you? Say... you were born in a palace, and you don't have to climb over walls and alleys?"
"..." Yin Kuang took a slow breath and said: "Leader Yuan, do you know that in order to lure those guards away, one of my companions risked his life to assassinate Thief Dong. If it weren't for her extraordinary ability, I'm afraid she would have died. Died in the rebellion. The Holy One can testify to this."
The little emperor was silent for a while and said: "I don't know whether someone assassinated the Dong thief. But the Xiliang army was indeed in chaos at that time."
Yuan Shao said: "Your Majesty, this is the plan of the Dong thief." Then he said to Yin Kuang: "You said that your companion's ability is different from ordinary people, but as far as I know, that woman has died between the Flying Bear Army and the Dong thief. During the siege. Although I am ignorant, I know that people cannot be resurrected after death. But you said that she is not dead. Isn't it ridiculous?" As he said, he ordered someone to fetch a scroll and unfold it. It was the appearance of the second-generation Queen Sakura, " Has Your Majesty seen this person?"
The little emperor nodded.
"This is strange. One person dies and the other lives, but you say they are the same person. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?"
"..." Yin Kuang was already certain that the God of the West must be behind this matter. He was speechless in response to Yuan Shao's questioning. Even though there are many strange powers and chaotic gods in this fifth era world, resurrection from the dead does not exist, and no one believes it even if it exists. Unexpectedly, the second-generation Queen Sakura was invited in order to successfully rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but now it has become a big loophole for others to exploit. Someone must have dug it out intentionally.
Xishen really took great pains to deal with himself. At the same time, Yuan Shao also took great pains to deal with Cao Cao, who was in the limelight recently. Although Cao Cao gathered troops to fight against the thieves, it is true that he forged the edict. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor. It's okay if we don't pursue it. If we really pursue it, we will destroy the nine tribes. Come to think of it, the reason why Cao Cao worked so hard these days was to make up for his past mistakes. However, he didn't know that his great achievements had attracted Yuan Shao's criticism and frame-up.
"Okay!" Yuan Shao didn't wait for Yin Kuang to speak, and said: "Even if it is the most ridiculous thing in the world, that woman really has the extraordinary ability to blow up and escape. Then how did you get out of the palace? How did you get out of Xiliang? The army successfully escaped from Luoyang City? If Dong Dong didn't deliberately indulge, how could you escape?"
Yin Kuang said: "Your Majesty can also testify about this. There is a secret passage in the palace, which is..." Yuan Shao said: "Are you going to say that it was created by the late emperor? This is even more of a joke. How could the late emperor do such a sage? Wait... this kind of thing?" Yin Kuang said: "His Majesty Wang Yue can testify about this matter."
"Lord Wang? Humph!" Yuan Shao sneered, "Come here, bring the traitor Wang Yue in!"
Yin Kuang was horrified. Even Wang Yue was involved in the scheme!
After a while, Wang Yue with disheveled hair was brought in. Of course he didn't resist. If he resisted, who in this camp would be his opponent? Wang Yue had already arrived, and he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I am loyal to the late emperor and your Majesty. Heaven and earth can teach me how I could collude with the traitor Dong. Please look into it clearly."
The great swordsman Wang Yue is no longer here, and all that is left is a pitiful old man who was bullied... Perhaps this is the result of extreme happiness leading to sadness.
Yin Kuang could only sigh to himself.
The little emperor sat high on the throne and said: "King... My beloved, if you are really wronged, I will personally avenge you."
After hearing the words "Wang Aiqing", Wang Yue stopped shouting that he was wronged. In vain, a surge of sadness surged from his skinny body. He sighed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said: "The traitor Wang Yue, I am here to ask you about the brave Lu Bu who is chasing you all the way. It is said that he had a fierce battle with you. I also heard that you were seriously injured by Lu Bu. But I am deeply confused, since Lu Bu has severely injured you, why didn’t he kill you?”
Wang Yue said solemnly: "This is the feeling of mutual sympathy between warriors."
"Huh! In the battle on the battlefield, each one is his own master, and it is a life-and-death fight. What's more, Lu Bu still wanted to kidnap His Majesty on the orders of the Dong thief. How could he let you go? There is only one possibility, and that is that you and him are the same. They are a group. They will beat you seriously but not kill you, just for fun."
Wang Yue said dullly: "I have never had an affair with Lu Bu."
Yuan Shao snorted and said: "The facts are in front of you, and you still dare to quibble! You really can't shed tears until you see the coffin." Yin Kuang said: "Leader Yuan, what you said is not true."
"Why?"
"As we all know, Lü Bu was defeated in battle. That traitor Dong loved his son so much that he followed his every move. If it was true that they were in an affair, how could Lü Bu die? Doesn't that mean that traitor Dong intended to kill Lü Bu?"
Yuan Shao said: "Exactly! According to someone's knowledge, that Dong thief and Lv Bu were very different from each other. They had long wanted to kill each other." Yin Kuang asked back: "Lü Bu died at the hands of Guan Yunchang. According to what Yuan leader said, that Guan The general and even Uncle Liu are having an affair with the Dong thief? Isn't this ridiculous?" Yuan Shao said: "I don't have conclusive evidence about Uncle Liu, so I dare not make false claims. However, it may be an accident. But Lu Bu did not kill the king. It is an irrefutable fact that Yue, let alone killed you."
"..." Yin Kuang really wanted to beat Yuan Shao, "Then," Yin Kuang said loudly, "Leader Yuan, if it is according to what you said, my desperate effort to rescue His Majesty from Dong's thieves is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time. Then Yuan The alliance leader thinks why Thief Dong wants us to capture His Majesty from him. Please forgive me for being disrespectful. Isn’t it more beneficial to Thief Dong to imprison His Majesty?"
Having said this, many other princes also nodded secretly.
Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Master Yin said is true. There are many doubts about this matter. You need to think twice before making a decision."
As soon as Kong Rong finished speaking, Yuan Shao said loudly: "Otherwise!"
The little emperor already felt that there was something wrong, but after Yuan Shao shouted, he couldn't help but become suspicious again. Because of Yuan Shao's confident appearance and his reputation, it is indeed difficult not to believe him.
Kong Rong said: "What do you think, Alliance Leader Yuan?"
Yuan Shao said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my disrespectful remarks."
"… allow!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Shao raised his head and said, "I think that if Your Majesty is in the hands of Thief Dong, Thief Dong will always be your minister. Looking at Thief Dong's behavior, how can he still behave like a minister? I'm afraid he has long been unwilling to be just a mere minister. The position of Taiwei. However, with the Holy Emperor sitting in the court, he is always treacherous and courageous, and he does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world, let alone do harm to His Majesty... But if Your Majesty leaves his side, there will be Jun above Thieves Dong. Yeah? In addition, everyone around your majesty is the claws of the Dong thief, so what does it matter where your majesty lives?"
At this point, everyone still doesn’t understand.
Dong Zhuo wants to proclaim himself emperor!
Yin Kuang sighed his last breath in his heart - he knew that Emperor Xian of Han could not keep him.
