"Uncle!"
When Yuan Shao saw Yuan Kui's head, he was so frightened that his legs immediately went limp. He knelt on the ground and immediately picked up Yuan Kui's head to look inside, only to see that there were many bloody heads inside. They were all familiar faces!
"Dong Zhuo, that old bastard, slaughtered my entire family!"
Yuan Shao suddenly cried out and hugged Yuan Kui's head. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
Only now did the surrounding dukes know what had happened. When they heard that the entire Yuan family had been slaughtered, they were all shocked and walked closer to take a look.
"Yuan Situ!"
"The Alliance Master's younger brother, Grand Servant Yuan Ji!”
"Yuan Hong, the clan brother of the Alliance Master!"
"Yuan Hong, the clan brother of the Alliance Master!"
……
"The Yuan family has more than 20 branches in the capital, and their heads are all here! Dong Zhuo, that old thief, is so vicious!" Kong Rong couldn't help but kneel down and cry towards the sky.
The people present were all upper-class nobles of the Great Han Dynasty. They were all inextricably linked to the Yuan family. They were either relatives or old friends. They were either students or old officials, or colleagues in the officialdom. Many of them had intermarried with the Yuan family and were closely related.
Now that they had seen the twenty or so branches of the Yuan Family that were the most influential wiped out by Dong Zhuo, all of them couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Yuan Shu asked. He was so shocked that he cried all the way here. When he saw the heads on the ground, he immediately fell to the ground and cried himself hoarse.
"Dong Zhuo harmed my entire family. I, Yuan Gonglu, swear not to be human if I don't destroy this thief! Quick, wake Yuan Shao up! Send troops for revenge!"
Thinking about how his illustrious family had been eliminated by Dong Zhuo overnight, Yuan Shu became angrier and angrier. In the end, he couldn't help but roar.
At this moment, Yuan Shao was also saved by someone, and he wailed again.
He was born to a concubine of the Yuan Family and was born with a humble status. Although he was loved by Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, he had suffered from the rumors of the Yuan Family since he was young. Now that the various branches of the Yuan Family had been killed, he felt a faint sense of joy in his heart.
However, the Yuan Family was where he came from. The sudden appearance of so many relatives 'heads in front of him had indeed greatly stimulated him.
However, after he heard Yuan Shu's roar, he hesitated about sending troops.
The army had just suffered a defeat. If they sent troops now, wouldn't they be courting death?
However, he also knew that if he said that he did not send troops, he would definitely be labeled as unfilial!
At this critical juncture, there was a mountain of blades and a sea of fire ahead. He had to rush forward resolutely. Otherwise, the foundation of the Yuan Family would be destroyed. If his reputation was ruined, he would basically have no chance to turn things around in the future.
His heart raced and he immediately figured out all of this. His face was filled with grief and indignation."My Yuan family has been loyal for generations. I didn't expect to be slaughtered by the old thief today. I want to directly kill Tiger Prison and break through the pass to eliminate the thief.”
Tao Qian wailed,"It's a matter of morality and justice. Death is not worth regretting!" I, Tao Qian, am willing to personally lead the army to help the Alliance Master kill the bandits!”
Kong Rong's eyes were filled with hatred." Not to mention us, everyone in the world is looking forward to clearing the Yuan Family's name!" Kong Wen Ju is willing to send troops!"
Like Yuan Shao, most of the other dukes were kidnapped by morality, and with celebrities like Kong Rong and Tao Qian leading the way, they could only return to gather their troops and prepare to send out their troops.
Although Cao Cao didn't have a good impression of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he still admired the Yuan Clan. After all, the Yuan Clan had four generations and three dukes, and there had been great sages in each generation. Now that Situ Yuankui had been killed, he also felt anger in his heart. He wanted to clear the injustice of the country's loyal officials.
Zhao Yang saw that his expression was not right and quickly stopped him.""Cao Gong, Li Ru is not an ordinary person. Why would he risk the world's condemnation and kill the entire Yuan Clan? I think he has other plans besides boosting the morale of his side.”
Cao Cao suddenly came to a realization." You mean Li Ru is deliberately provoking Yuan Shao to send troops?”
"Not only that!" Zhao Yang smiled. Li Ru's action was a move that killed his heart! Whether Yuan Shao was angry or not, he would send out his troops! This Li Ru is amazing."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment before revealing a shocked expression,"I understand now! With the Yuan Family wiped out, Yuan Shao had no choice but to send troops out of righteousness! This is indeed an act of killing!"
"So, Li Ru predicted that Yuan Shao would have to send troops, then why wouldn't there be an ambush outside Hulao Pass?”
Zhao Yang laughed.
Cao Cao was immediately shocked." The last time, the dukes had already lost quite a number of troops. Although they have gradually gathered some soldiers and recovered some of their strength, there are still quite a number of casualties. If we lose again this time, how are we going to break through the pass and eliminate the bandits? No, I have to dissuade them!"
Zhao Yang quickly pulled him back." Since my lord knows that this is a move to kill his heart, why did you stop Yuan Shao?" He had gone for the sake of righteousness. Could it be that the lord would do something that would destroy righteousness in order to fulfill his wish? That would not give him any advantage at all, and he would even get into trouble!”
Cao Cao immediately stopped and fell into deep thought. After a few changes in his expression, he finally sighed,"If I don't go, I'll eventually be criticized by others…"
Zhao Yang laughed." The vassals sent troops to avenge the Yuan family. This is a small matter. My lord, in order to save the emperor and help the country, you refused to send troops. This is a long-term plan. This is the great path!" No matter how illustrious the Yuan Family was, they were still his subjects. Could it be that in order to avenge the Yuan Family, the Lord had forgotten about the Son of Heaven who had fallen into Dong Zhuo's hands?”
Cao Cao's face immediately lit up." It's not you, sir. We almost missed the big event today!" Then, what should we do now? Should they continue to set up an ambush halfway to ambush the Western Liang troops?”
Zhao Yang immediately laughed." My Lord, Xu Rong is not a fool. He suffered a loss last time. I'm afraid he won't dare to come again this time."”
"Then we…"
"Then we still have to set up an ambush.”
"Why?" Cao Cao was stunned.
"This is to show our boldness in taking into account the overall situation and enduring humiliation to support the dukes! Otherwise, the dukes would really think that we didn't want to avenge the Yuan Family and would really be criticized.”
Cao Cao was enlightened.
Ever since Xu Rong was defeated, he had been working hard at Tiger Cage Pass, secretly preparing for when he would strike a blow at the feudal vassals and wash away the shame of his defeat. Then, he heard that Dong Zhuo not only massacred the entire Yuan family, but also sent out the heads of everyone in the Yuan family!
"This is a chance!" Xu Rong thought for a while and suddenly looked excited." His whole family is dead. Won't Yuan Shao be so angry that he'll send troops to seek revenge? If I set up an ambush, Yuan Shao will be defeated again!”
At this moment, someone from Luoyang sent a message.""The military counselor said that Yuan Shao will definitely attack today. He ordered the general to set up an ambush outside the pass and guard it strictly. After the ambush is successful, he will not chase too far.”
Xu Rong was overjoyed when he heard that. Great, immediately pass on my orders. According to the military counselor's arrangements, I will personally lead the troops today and kill Yuan Shao!”
Soon, the Tiger Cage Pass army attacked again and hid in the surroundings!
