Chapter 975: The Yuan Family Exterminated in the Prince's Policy (Part 2)
Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Report...to inform the lord, an urgent secret message from Liangwei eight hundred miles away."
Dong Zhuo stood up suddenly and quickly took the secret letter himself. After reading it, he gritted his teeth and said: "What a Qin Hao, what a Yuan Shao. The Za family has been in the world for decades and has never suffered such a shame and humiliation. It is simply too much of a lie." ”
Seeing Dong Zhuo lose his composure, Jia Xu suddenly had a bad feeling and asked cautiously: "My lord, what's going on?"
“See for yourselves.”
Dong Zhuo angrily threw the secret letter on the ground. After Li Ru picked it up and looked at it, he immediately said with joy: "My lord, this is a great thing!"
After Li Ru read it, Jia Xu immediately took the secret letter. He only read the beginning and his heart suddenly thumped. He then handed the secret letter to Lu Buwei and asked Dong Zhuo with a smile: "My lord, the coalition is not stable internally." The division is imminent, which is a great good thing for our army. Why is my lord angry? "
There was a hint of ferocity in Dong Zhuohu's eyes, and he said with an aggrieved expression: "In today's world, except for Qin Wen, the Za family has never regarded anyone as an opponent, but now they are being played by two juniors. It is simply hateful."
Jia Xu and the other three counselors looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. They all knew the pride in Dong Zhuo's heart, but times are different now.
The heroes of the older generation who once dominated the world are now dying and growing old.
Lu Zhi died of illness in Luoyang, Liu Yu died in Hulao Pass in battle, and Huangfu Song was under house arrest in Chang'an...Only Dong Zhuo, Qin Wen, Liu Yan, Tao Qian and others are still active in today's military and political circles.
Qin Wen is basically in a semi-retired state due to physical reasons, while Tao Qian and others have never been taken seriously by Dong Zhuo, so in Dong Zhuo's mind, he is a "lonely and seeking defeat" figure in the world.
But now that Qin Hao is taking advantage of the opportunity to deceive him, and is about to be exploited by Yuan Shao for his scheming, how could Dong Zhuo, who thinks so highly of himself, not be angry.
“Yuan Benchu actually wanted to use the Zajia family to contain Qin Hao?”
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but flash a cold light in his eyes, and said with hatred: "It's not that simple. This time the Za family wants Qin Hao and Yuan Shao to have a **** encounter."
After saying this, Dong Zhuo looked at everyone with his tiger eyes and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to Li Xiuning in Luoyang, ordering her to postpone this negotiation, and everything is mainly to delay the time.
We want to see how long Qin Hao can hold on. After all the princes have retreated one after another, what confidence does Qin Hao still have? "
At this point, Dong Zhuo stopped and thought for a moment, then continued to order: "Hua Xiong."
As a great Han from Kansai, Hua Xiong strode out with a strong back and clasped his fists and said solemnly: "The end will be here."
"You immediately lead people to exterminate the Yuan family. The crime will be treason and conspiracy to assassinate the prime minister."
)
Hua Xiong took over the task without thinking, but Li Ru and other civil servants were all shocked.
“My lord, you must not do this. The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family have disciples and former officials all over the world...”
Li Ru quickly stood up to stop him, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dong Zhuo, who said displeasedly: "Why not? The coalition forces are distraught and are about to be divided. How can they regroup to attack the Zajia family just because of a Yuan family?"
"This... is unlikely." "That's just a bird."
Dong Zhuo shouted angrily, then slammed the table and said, "How many times has the Za family let the Yuan family go? But Yuan Feng has been secretly contacting the old officials of the Han Dynasty, preparing to plot against the Za family. The Za family can't bear it anymore. "
Looking at the furious Dong Zhuo, Li Ru opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. The words in his heart finally turned into a sigh.
Following Dong Zhuo's order, nearly a thousand members of the Yuan family were publicly beheaded in Chang'an City, and their heads were hung on the east gate of Chang'an to be exposed to the sun. Among them were Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's biological father, Taiwei, one of the three princes of the dynasty. Yuan Feng.
The Yuan family has four generations and three sons, and its disciples and former officials are all over the world. It is recognized as the best family in the world, but now it was brutally exterminated by Dong Zhuo.
Although only the head of the family, Yuan Feng, was destroyed, and a large number of members of the Yuan family were scattered abroad, the impact was only second to Dong Zhuo's poisoning of the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The veterans who were loyal to the Han Dynasty were trembling with fear, and all the plots and plots in the dark were suspended, for fear that Dong Zhuo's butcher knife would be swung at them next. After all, Dong Zhuo dared to attack the Young Emperor and the Yuan family, so what else could he not dare to do? of?

Luoyang.
Yuan Shao brothers secretly reported the internal instability of the coalition to Dong Zhuo, hoping to use Dong Zhuo's power to contain Qin Hao and prevent Qin Hao from occupying the four counties of Sizhou.
Facts have proved that their decision was not wrong. The envoys of the Liang Army were indeed much tougher, and the negotiations between the Liang Army and the Liang Army were temporarily in a stalemate.
But what Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu never expected was that they got the news that the Yuan family in Chang'an had been exterminated, and their biological father was also killed by Dong Zhuo, and his head was hung on the tower of Chang'an.
Hearing that Dong Zhuo had wiped out his entire Yuan family, Yuan Shao was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted. When he woke up, he pointed at the sky and cursed: "Dong Zhuo, old thief, I, Yuan Benchu, will fight with you until death."
Yuan Shu was also stunned by this, but he couldn't figure it out. He had obviously helped Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo didn't want to repay his kindness. Why did he want to destroy his entire Yuan family?
Yuan Shao was almost regretful. He and Yuan Shu joined in the fight against Dong's coalition forces. Dong Zhuo did not take action against the coalition forces, but this resulted in the destruction of the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao also understood that his plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves was probably because he had touched Dong Zhuo's evil side, which was why he had incurred such harsh revenge, but at this point it was too late to say anything.
“Let’s go, let’s go to Qin Hao now and demand that the negotiations be stopped immediately and we march into Chang’an to kill Dong’s thieves.” Yuan Shao said angrily.
“Yes, we must not let Thief Dong go.”
Yuan Shu also said with an angry look, after all, the person who died was their biological father, and no one could remain indifferent to this matter.
Faced with the request of the Yuan brothers to stop negotiations and march immediately, Qin Hao found a few reasons to shirk the request. However, seeing that Qin Hao was unable to advance, the Yuan brothers could only go to contact other princes angrily, but There will definitely be no results.
Looking at the leaving figures of the Yuan brothers, Qin Hao sneered in his heart. He had just stabbed himself in the back, but now he came to beg him. He was really thick-skinned. Do you really think you can't see it?
Qin Hao roughly guessed that the Yuan family was exterminated. Yuan Feng was completely seeking his own death and could not blame anyone else.
Although the impact of the genocide of the Yuan family was great, it was nothing more than a trivial matter in Qin Hao's eyes. However, the stabbing in the back by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu made Qin Hao extremely angry.
Now that Dong Zhuo knows the details of the coalition forces, it is definitely not possible to open his mouth like a lion like before. It is also impossible to force Dong Zhuo to withdraw from Sizhou through negotiation.
Qin Hao's eyes were full of thoughts, and after a long time he said to his left and right in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to Emperor No. 1 to prepare for his return."
