This news is shocking, but it just shocked others. Wen Chou had known that this would happen long ago.

That is, Dong Zhuo killed the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, the Grand Duke Yuan Ji, and more than fifty children of the Yuan family. All the Yuan clans in Beijing, regardless of their age, were killed by Dong Zhuo.

When the news reached Yangdi, Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Xun Yu, Xun Yan, and others were all shocked. Xun Yu came to Wen Chou when he received the news. He said to Wen Chou indignation: "The Dong thief did a rebellious act and killed the Yuan family, and did not let go of the baby on the squad. He was cruel and unjust, and the heavens and men were angry!"

Xun Yan looked worried and said, "The Yuan family was killed in the capital. Will the Ming Gong, Sikong?" "Sikong" said it naturally because Xun Shuang.

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Sikong comes from the car. Now Chang'an is not in Luoyang. Sikong is very smart and far-reaching. I heard that he is friendly to Prince Situ again, so it is not dangerous."

Xun Shuang did not stay in Luoyang, but followed the emperor to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, and even if he wanted to kill Xun Shuang, he would not be able to kill for the moment, or in other words, he might not be able to kill him.

Why do you say you can't kill, or even kill? Because of two reasons. One is because of Wang Yun.

Luoyang, when the emperor left on the 17th of the second month, arrived in Chang'an on the fifth day of the third month. Among the ministers who followed him, there were some high-ranking and noble titles. For example, in terms of "both names and real names", there were both high-ranking and real power, but now only Wang Yun is the only one. Wang Yun is now Situ and is the Shangshu Ling. Situ is one of the three dukes, only under the Taiwei, with a high status. Shangshu Ling is the most powerful position in the court. Now, all matters in the Chang'an court, inside and outside are entrusted to Wang Yun, who is responsible for the government affairs outside.

He is a royal family and acts as a minister, and is extremely relied on by court officials and emperors. He is now the first person in the Chang'an court. - So, the famous scholars in the gentry, such as Yang Biao, Huang Wan, etc., have been depressed by Dong Zhuo one after another. Wang Yun is also a famous scholar with the reputation of being honest and upright. But why can he sit in such a high position? For no reason, just because he has different styles of conduct from Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others, he has always flattered Dong Zhuo, flattered and pretended to obey. Therefore, he won Dong Zhuo's trust.

Wang Yun was trusted by Dong Zhuo, and Xun Shuang had been his former "lower official". Xun Shuang wrote a letter to Wen Chou a while ago, and in the letter he mentioned implicitly that he was discussing secretly with Wang Yun, He Yan and others, wanting to jointly punish Dong. In other words, this means that Xun Shuang and Wang Yun have a very close relationship, and the two are "one party". Then with Wang Yun outside to cover up and say good things, even if Dong Zhuo is dissatisfied with Wen Chou, he will not implicate Xun Shuang.

The second is because Xun Shuang himself was also harmed by the party and imprisonment. He was in the ranks of imprisonment and fled to Hanbin for more than ten years. Over the years, he had seen and heard about it and experienced the fierce and bloody political struggles in the court. He had long known the way to advance and retreat, and studied the "Yi" carefully. He was a famous master of Yi, and even understood the art of protecting himself. Therefore, on the surface, he had never deliberately targeted Dong Zhuo, and sometimes he would "follow power". Like Wang Yun, he welcomed Dong Zhuo for a few words, so Dong Zhuo was not very disgusted and hated him.

Xun Yan and Xun Yu took a look at each other, and both agreed with Tian Feng's judgment, and their faces were slightly worried.

Tian Feng pondered for a moment and said to Wen Chou: "Yuan was executed for more than fifty people. This is a tragic incident in the world. However, Ming Gong, Ming Gong and General Sun have been planning to discuss the second time to attack Dong. I secretly think that for the attack Dong alone, Yuan's execution may be an opportunity."

Wen Chou said, "Yuan Hao, what are you talking about?"

"Yes. This time, Guandong launched a group to attack Dong. Yuan Benchu ​​was the leader. The Yuan brothers were divided into north and south. One was based on Jizhou and the other was Nanyang. In terms of strength, they both thought they were the strongest. When they attacked Dong last time, Yuan Gonglu did not move his troops. Although Yuan Benchu ​​had thousands of troops, it was useless. Now, all the Yuan family members were killed in Beijing. Yuan Gonglu, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gonglu's follower father, Yuan Gonglu's servant, Yuan Gonglu's brother, and his country and family hatred. They thought they would not still station troops to watch, and they still refused to fight, right?"

Yuan Wei was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's subordinate father, Yuan Ji was Yuan Shu's brother-in-law. Yuan Shao was adopted by Yuan Cheng. He and Yuan Shu were originally half-brothers. Yuan Ji was named his subordinate, but in fact he was also his half-brother. So Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji were killed. For Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, it was a state affairs, and now he had a blood-haired family feud with Dong Zhuo.

According to common sense, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu should not wait and see and fight this time, right? Wen Chou knew that more than fifty people from the Yuan family, including Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji, etc., were killed, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu still did not send troops.

This seems ruthless, but how many people who want to fight for the world will put family affairs first? Emperor Gaozu ignored his father, wife, and children, let alone Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji was just the follower of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers?

Tian Feng probably knew this, so although he said, "For the purpose of provoking Dong, Yuan's execution may be a chance", he did not have any special expression on his expression, but he just said it lightly.

Wen Chou said, "How can a country take care of the family? Yuan Ben's original intention was in Jizhou, and Yuan Gonglu wanted Jingzhou in his heart. Now Ji, Jing has not yet settled, and has not completely fallen into the hands of him. Although Yuan Taifu and Yuan Taipu were killed, they may not raise an army to avenge him... However, I can preach a sermon with Wucheng Hou, and above all, Emperor Kuang and the Yuan family's revenge, and advocate various groups to raise an army and attack Dong's thieves. As for whether the matter can be accomplished, it is not something you and I may do."

Tian Feng nodded and said, "If things can be accomplished, it is the best; if things cannot be accomplished, the world can also know who is the most loyal and righteous person."

This is Tian Feng’s real purpose.

As the leader of the fight against Dong, his clan members were killed. If they still remained in control and did not leave Hanoi, Yuan Shao's reputation would inevitably be slightly damaged. If Wen Chou and Sun Jian were sending a message to the world at this time, their reputation might be improved to a certain extent.

The reason why he was with Sun Jian was because Wen Chou himself, as a Lieutenant of Changshan, was barely considered a prince, but his prestige was not as good as a proclamation in the world. In comparison, he is now just an equal footing with ordinary princes. Even when facing the two Yuans, Han Fu was still at the forefront. Therefore, he needed to do this with Sun Jian so that the influence of this incident could be maximized.

As for this proposal, Sun Jian naturally agreed. Although he was not very interested in literary affairs, he was still happy to do this to increase his reputation. (To be continued.)
