Dong Zhuo forced Liu Xie to give way to Dong Zhuo on the third day of March, and the deadline was approaching.

Several ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty in the court, Situ Wangyun, Sikong Yang Biao, Taiwei Zhu Jun and others discussed and wanted Cao Shuo to go to Beijing secretly to plot Dong Zhuo secretly.

Wang Yun did not explain the specific content and date of the action in the letter, so as not to be stolen by outsiders.

After Cao Shuo heard the content of the letter, he said with disdain, "Chan'er, I can't agree to this!"

"Husband, I don't want to agree either, but His Majesty is at stake. If you refuse rashly, will it chill your subordinates?"

Diao Chan looked at Cao Shuo worriedly.

"Who else knows about this?" Cao Shuo asked hastily.

"At present, only the two of us know. As for whether Wang Yun wrote to other people, I don't know."

"You send a letter back to Wang Yun, telling him that you are pregnant and cannot move for the time being, let him find other people, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Ma Teng, these people are all on the border with Sili, even Lu Bu .”

Regarding Wang Yun's suggestion, Cao Shuo would not agree to it even if he was killed. Let him go to Chang'an, just dream. Dong Zhuo just didn't know his ability before, but now he knows it very well.

If you enter Chang'an rashly, you may be greeted by an army of tens of thousands.

Diao Chan reminded: "Husband, will there be no problem? Do you want to discuss with Xun You and the others?"

"No, I will never go to Chang'an alone."

Diao Chan nodded and no longer interfered with this matter too much, she didn't want to be involved in the court affairs.

"Chan'er, is there any abnormality in your body recently? If there is anything to do, tell the servants to do it!"

"It's okay, husband, you can do your own business, don't worry about me."

While the two were chatting and laughing, a beautiful woman as white as jade walked out of Diao Chan's room and brought them two cups of tea.

"Young Master, Young Madam, please have some tea."

Cao Shuo took a sip from his teacup, looked at Gan Mei and asked, "Xiao Mei, are you still used to living here?"

"Thank you, young master, for your concern. The young wives have treated me very well! I like this place very much."

"Chan'er has been in trouble recently, so you have to worry about it."

"This is what I should do."

Cao Shuo asked a few words about her family members, and when he learned that she was an orphan, he stopped asking.

Diao Chan nestled in Cao Shuo's arms and said, "Husband, what do you think of this sweet plum?"

"What about it?" Cao Shuo looked at Diao Chan suspiciously.

Diao Chan said meaningfully: "Husband, Gan Mei stays by my side, being a servant girl is a bit overkill, why don't you let her serve you by your side."

"You and Yan'er need someone to take care of you now, and she is just right."

Cao Shuo spent one night at Diaochan's place, and left Diaochan's residence early the next morning.

He still needs to order Jin Yiwei to send Diao Chan's reply letter back.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhicai came to Cao Shuo's study, as long as Cao Shuo was in Jizhou, he would come to Cao Shuo's office every morning to report on his work.

If Cao Shuo is not around, tell Zhuge Liang who stays in the study what he wants to say.

"Zhicai, I happened to have something to see you."

Xi Zhicai asked with a puzzled face, "I don't know why the lord is looking for me?"

"Liangzi!" Cao Shuo gave Zhuge Liang a wink, and Zhuge Liang walked out tactfully, while dismissing all the guards around him.

When Xi Zhicai saw Cao Shuo's actions, his face suddenly became solemn. He had been with Cao Shuo for a long time, and he had never seen Cao Shuo act like this before.

Something big must have happened, and it looked like he was going to be busy again.

"Master, why are you so cautious?" Xi Zhicai asked hastily.

Cao Shuo explained: "Wang Yun sent a letter. He wants me to go to Chang'an and plot against Dong Zhuo secretly."

"My lord, don't take risks!" Xi Zhicai hastily dissuaded.

"Dong Zhuo has decided to proclaim himself emperor. If you go to Chang'an at this time, if you reveal your identity, Dong Zhuo will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress the lord."

Cao Shuo said, "I don't plan to go either, I just ask for your opinion."

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, this matter is absolutely unacceptable. The harm outweighs the benefits. If the matter is successful, the officials in Chang'an will gain a lot of benefits, but if the matter fails, there will be no loss for them. After all The lord is not their lord."

Cao Shuo nodded, and said: "In Chang'an, there is no soldier or general to seek Dong Zhuo. It is impossible. It is no different from sending him to death."

Xi Zhicai analyzed: "If the lord disagrees, then they will definitely find someone else. After all, Dong Zhuo will proclaim himself emperor soon. If it is too late, I am afraid Liu Xie will be murdered by Dong Zhuo."

Cao Shuo asked, "Who does Zhicai think is the most likely?"

Xi Zhicai thought for a while and said: "Lv Bu in Bingzhou is currently in a tight battle, and he can't do without Bingzhou. Cao Cao of Yanzhou has become the No. 1 choice after the lord, and then with Cao Cao's character, he will definitely not be in danger again."

Cao Cao had already assassinated Dong Zhuo once before, and his sea arrest documents had already spread all over the world. If he was recognized in Chang'an City, he would not be far from death.

Xi Zhicai continued: "Under Cao Cao, Ma Teng in Xiliang is the most suitable. Once Chang'an is on the right side, Ma Teng can quickly support Chang'an."

"Na Zhicai thinks, in what way will Ma Teng enter Luoyang?"

Cao Shuo believed that Ma Teng would definitely not enter Chang'an swaggeringly, otherwise Dong Zhuo would definitely not let him go.

Then it is left to lead the army to attack Chang'an, or to feign surrender...

"The subordinates feel that there is a relatively high possibility of fraudulent surrender."
