As long as Su Xuan takes the opportunity to get the position of Jingzhou Governor.

He can start an explosive development in a legitimate way.

The scale of a commandery and the scale of a province are completely different concepts.

At this time, Cheng Yu interjected: "If you want to successfully take the position of Jingzhou Governor, then the current Jingzhou Inspector must find a way to be removed in advance!"

"Agreed!"

Guo Jia also nodded and said: "This Wang Rui has not expanded his strength in Wuling Commandery less in these years;"

"His hostility toward us is also quite great;"

"If the world is truly in chaos, I'm afraid this person will use the name of Inspector to exercise the power of a Governor;"

"He absolutely cannot be left!"

"But killing him directly won't work! It will smear the Lord!"

"Therefore, I suggest borrowing a knife to kill!"

Xun You looked at Guo Jia upon hearing this: "Fengxiao, are you talking about Wuling Administrator Cao Yin?"

"Not bad!"

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "Cao Yin has long hated Wang Rui to the bone, and over these years, under the provocation of the secret guards, he has frequently formed grudges with Wang Rui, and in the end, only one of them can exist!"

"This person is the best person to use."

Tian Feng and the others nodded in unison upon hearing this: "This idea is good! But the timing must be chosen well!"

Su Xuan then said: "What you said is also what I want to do!"

"As for the timing, I expect that the final winner in Luoyang will be Dong Zhuo!"

"This person is a student of the Yuan clan on the surface, but he is ambitious and not a simple character;"

"After he wins, the Yuan clan will inevitably not let it go;"

"And the Yuan clan's foundation is in Runan, and at the same time, they have been encroaching on Nanyang for these years, and have also arranged Sun Jian as a nail in my Jingnan;"

"If Dong Zhuo succeeds, if the Yuan clan wants to retaliate, they will inevitably call for a coalition of warlords;"

"Sun Jian of Changsha is currently still a person of the Yuan clan, and will inevitably receive the summons;"

"We can take this opportunity to have Cao Yin send a fake edict to Sun Jian, asking him to take action to eliminate Wang Rui;"

"By then, not only can we eliminate Wang Rui, but we can also make Sun Jian completely cut himself off from the people of Jingzhou, and never be able to get the recognition of the people of Jingzhou again! He will never be able to stand in Changsha again."

"This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone."

This was actually something he had already calculated.

Therefore, he hadn't deliberately targeted that jumping Wang Rui over these years.

Because, in his eyes, Wang Rui was already a dead man.

He couldn't threaten him at all.

"The Lord's plan is brilliant!"

Guo Jia and the others' eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Being able to take this opportunity to make Sun Jian cut himself off from Jingzhou can indeed save a lot of trouble;"

"Otherwise, it would really be a trouble to keep him in Changsha."

Tian Feng pondered while stroking his beard: "Does the Lord think Dong Zhuo will be the final winner?"

"I do have some impression of this person;"

"Did he also participate in the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then?"

"It seems he was also the successor of General Lu Zhi, and as a result, he caused the defeat of the Jizhou government army;"

"He almost single-handedly destroyed General Lu Zhi's layout and lost the entire Jizhou;"

"This person looks like a straw bag! Is he really that amazing?"

Apparently, Tian Feng's impression of Dong Zhuo was still stuck in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"Yuanhao, you underestimate this person!"

Guo Jia shook his head upon hearing this: "In that battle of Jizhou Yellow Turbans, whoever went would have been doomed to lose;"

"This defeat was not the fault of the battle, but the situation at that time was just like that!"

"The Son of Heaven wanted a quick victory, which is why he replaced Lu Zhi;"

"But the situation at that time could only be won by learning from Lu Zhi's steady and steady approach, step by step;"

"However, this was a choice that no successor of Lu Zhi could make."

"Only by adopting a quick victory tactic could the Son of Heaven be satisfied."

"This is a dead knot, it doesn't have much to do with whether Dong Zhuo's ability is enough."

"Of course, if it were the Lord at that time, he should still have a chance to win!"

After all, Su Xuan's main force was already very strong at that time, and there were peerless fierce generals like Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.

As long as he didn't care about casualties, he would have a good chance of winning.

"Impossible!"

Su Xuan shook his head upon hearing this: "At that time, my main force was small, and giving me a bunch of ordinary government troops wouldn't have led to a quick victory;"

"Zhang Jiao is not that simple."

He felt that Zhang Jiao could be completely counted as a Heaven-Man level combat power.

"Hehe!"

Guo Jia just smiled upon hearing this and didn't argue anymore.

Instead, he said: "In short, Dong Zhuo is not simple, the key is that this person's ambition is huge, and it is impossible for him to listen to the Yuan clan;"

"In addition, according to the secret guards' intelligence, Li Ru by Dong Zhuo's side is a top-level strategist who will plan for him to achieve victory."

Luoyang, there's a lot to play with.

Ten days later,

Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan's armies had approached Luoyang, less than 50 miles from Luoyang.

And it was also at this time that Zhang Rang and the others couldn't sit still, and taking advantage of He Jin's relaxation of vigilance, they found an opportunity to trick He Jin into the palace in the name of Empress Dowager He.

He only brought Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and a small number of soldiers with him.

And, upon entering the Ganquan Palace, He Jin also let Cao Cao and the others wait outside.

As a result, as soon as he entered, he was directly surrounded and killed by the eunuch assassins organized by Zhang Rang and the others.

In the end, his head was thrown out by Zhang Rang and the others to persuade Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to surrender.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were shocked, how could they surrender?

They fled directly out of the palace city.

Then they went to the West Garden and the Sili Commandant's department to gather all the troops and kill their way into the imperial palace.

The eunuchs sent people to try to block them, but the palace city was easily broken through. 017

Zhang Rang and the others realized that disaster was imminent, and immediately took the Young Emperor Liu Bian, Empress Dowager He, and Imperial Prince Xie and fled the palace through a secret passage.

And in this process,

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao led their armies to search everywhere in the imperial palace, killing any eunuchs they saw.

In this process,

In the courtyard where Diaochan was,

A secret guard found Diaochan and said to her: "Miss Diaochan, the time has come, you can come with me!"

"Just right, more than ten days ago, our people already found your younger brother in Taiyuan and successfully rescued him and brought him to Luoyang; you can see him when you go out."

"What? Really?"

Diaochan was surprised and asked happily.

"Naturally!"

The secret guard nodded affirmatively: "I wouldn't deceive a young lady about such a matter;"

"Whether it's true or false, you can come with me now to leave the palace, and you'll know when you see him!"

"Good!"

Diaochan nodded immediately: "I'll go with you!"

As she spoke, she entered the room to take a package that had been prepared long ago, disguised her face, and followed this secret guard to leave the palace amidst the chaos.

The process went very smoothly.

There were quite a few palace maids who fled the palace like her, so it didn't attract attention.

At the same time,

There were also many secret guards lurking in the palace or the army who took the opportunity to go to the palace's library and took away thousands of volumes of books through various means.
