"At this time, he is just relying on his fortune being at its peak or even rising period, being strong on the outside but weak on the inside!"

"From the beginning, he targeted the Great Han and was entangled by curses and robbery;"

"Even the Yuan family couldn't withstand the backlash of the Great Han's fortune, let alone Dong Zhuo."

The situation now is just the result of Li Ru's patching and efforts to balance.

Once past the peak period, even if Li Ru has great ability, he will be unable to save the situation.

"That's true!"

Guo Jia nodded knowingly: "It seems that the way of fortune is mysterious and profound, and I still have a lot to learn!"

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled: "Never mind you, even I am far from figuring out the mysteries of the way of fortune. Where are you even at? Work hard! Young man!"

Guo Jia rolled his eyes at Su Xuan: "My Lord! I am no longer a young man! I am already an adult, alright?"

He didn't like Su Xuan treating him like a child.

"No, no!"

Su Xuan waved his hand with a smile: "As long as you don't get married for a day, you are a young man for a day! Understand?"

"Or, wait until this battle is over, and I will arrange a marriage for you?"

"You are already 20, and you are not married yet, what does that look like?"

"Mother has already mentioned this to me several times, hoping I can help persuade you!"

"You should also be sensible and consider it! You can't be unmarried and have no children for the rest of your life, right?"

"Of the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the greatest!"

Guo Jia showed a bitter smile, nodded helplessly: "I understand! Then wait until we go back this time, and you can arrange it, My Lord!"

"I'll say it first, she must be beautiful and virtuous. If she's not beautiful and has a bad temper, I don't want her." If he had a choice, he would never want to get married.

After getting married, how could he go out and have fun?

But he was an only child, and it was impossible for him not to get married.

"Damn!"

Su Xuan listened, directly raised his middle finger at Guo Jia and laughed: "Why don't you say you want to marry a fairy?"

"Just wait! I will write to Cai'er later and ask her to help look for candidates among the aristocratic families in Jingzhou first. There should be suitable candidates."

Now Guo Jia is one of his main strategists, with unlimited ability and future, and there are plenty of local Jingzhou aristocratic young ladies willing to marry Guo Jia.

They want to curry favor with Su Xuan and can't wait to send women to Su Xuan, but Su Xuan is picky.

Moreover, he can't just take women casually; he has to consider many things.

Early the next morning, Dong Zhuo took Lu Bu and led hundreds of thousands of troops from Luoyang to Hulao Pass.

Before setting off, Dong Zhuo ordered people to bring Yuan Wei's whole family out of the prison.

Then, in front of the civil and military officials who came to see him off, he directly beheaded Yuan Wei's whole family to sacrifice the flag.

"Dong Zhuo! You will die a horrible death!!!"

Before Yuan Wei died, he didn't forget to issue such a roar.

"Hahaha!"

Dong Zhuo listened, but couldn't help but look up and laugh, and said coldly: "I don't know if I will die a horrible death, but you are definitely going to die a horrible death today!"

"How about it? Yuan Wei, Master Yuan, you were once high and mighty, four generations and three dukes, what a great name, have you ever thought you would have today?"

Saying this, Dong Zhuo didn't care how Yuan Wei was gnashing his teeth, and turned to look at the civil and military officials: "I know that most of you look down on me, thinking that my background is despicable;"

"In the past, I even tried to rely on my current power to integrate into you and get your recognition!"

"So, for more than half a year, I have been trying to ease the relationship between you and me;"

"For this, I didn't even hesitate to lower my status and dignity;"

"What was the result? What did I get in exchange?"

"It was just your mockery and ridicule, and betrayal!"

"This made me see your faces clearly;"

"Made me understand that it is impossible for me to be truly accepted by you and integrate into you!"

"I was very angry at first, but now I don't think so;"

"I am the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, holding heavy troops, controlling the capital, how noble am I? Why should I be subservient to get your recognition?"

"In this world where the strong are respected, shouldn't you be the ones to humbly please me and entertain me?"

"This is wrong! This world is very wrong!"

"So, I have decided that from now on, I will no longer be subservient to you, I will no longer go to curry favor with you, trying to get your recognition and integrate into you!"

"On the contrary, you must get my recognition and take the initiative to lean toward me and surrender to me;"

"Otherwise, there is no need for you to exist!"

"My blade is not blunt! Hmph!"

After speaking, Dong Zhuo didn't care about the civil and military officials who were trembling or whose faces were iron-blue, and ordered the executioner to behead Yuan Wei's whole family.

Then, he ordered people to put all their heads into boxes and send them to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu by fast horse.

As for the corpses?

Just throw them to the mass grave north of the city, dig a pit, and bury them together.

Do you still want a thick burial with the rites of a prince?

In Dong Zhuo's eyes, Yuan Wei only deserves this treatment now.

From now on, Dong Zhuo no longer has that set of honor and inferiority of the aristocratic family in his eyes.

All he has is his fist.

After Dong Zhuo went far away, the civil and military officials left with ugly faces.

They gathered in groups of three or five at Wang Yun's mansion.

"Master Wang! You are now the head of the civil officials, you should stand up and speak, and preside over justice for us and for Master Yuan!"

"Yes! This Dong Zhuo clearly doesn't put us in his eyes anymore."

"This person is a jackal!"

"....."

Hearing the words of these officials, although Wang Yun sneered in his heart, he still pressed his hands lightly on the surface: "Alas! Now, Dong Zhuo can't listen to advice for the time being, the matter of moving the capital is decided, we cannot stop it;"

"For the time being, don't act against the wind, first cooperate to complete the move of the capital, minimize the damage to the people during the move, and protect the Son of Heaven is the priority;"

"Everything else, let's talk about it after moving the capital!"

"Everything, wait until the result of the warlords' campaign against Dong comes out, then we will discuss it;"

"What's the use of talking about him now? Could it be that your necks are harder than Master Yuan's?"

Wanting to fool him into being the first bird to die?

He, Wang Yun, is not stupid, how could he not see the sinister intentions of these people?

Now, it is clear that Dong Zhuo is prepared to directly fall out with these aristocratic public officials and no longer follow their set of rules.

You don't want to keep a low profile for a while, but want to act against the wind, isn't that looking for death?

"Uh... this...."

"That makes sense!"

A group of people saw that Wang Yun had said this, and he didn't take the bait at all. They also knew that the plan to find Wang Yun to be the first bird had failed, so they nodded and echoed with awkward smiles, and didn't say much more.

As for their hearts, whether they are still prepared to take action and play small tricks, that is their own business.

However, it is clear that not everyone is willing to give up and submit.

Because Dong Zhuo took away most of the troops in Luoyang, many aristocratic public officials in the city began to act secretly for a time.

Attempting to take advantage of Dong Zhuo leading the main army away, gather people to rebel, clear out Dong Zhuo's men in Luoyang, take back Luoyang, and rescue the Son of Heaven.

Li Ru had already sent people to watch all this secretly.

He sent people to nail these people down, just waiting for the moment they took action, and then take them down directly.

1 day later,

In the Allied camp outside Hulao Pass,

"Ah!!! It hurts so much! It hurts so much! Dong thief, how dare you be like this? How dare you be like this!"

"Uncle! I'm sorry for you! It was me who harmed you!"

"Dong thief, I swear I won't be a human if I don't take revenge for this!!"
