Zhang Liao and his men entered the Beiman Mountain camp and found it empty. They immediately reported this to Liu Wei and Yue Fei.

Meanwhile, the west gate of Luoyang was teeming with people.

Dong Min, his face beaming with excitement, rode on his horse, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.

As the last rays of the sun faded in the western sky, the generals of Dong Zhuo's army guarding the city gates opened them, and countless soldiers poured in.

They seeped in like ink, spreading to every corner of Luoyang.

Dong Huang led five hundred elite swordsmen and axemen to lie in ambush on both sides of the Grand Tutor's council hall, waiting for the order to be given.

Behind the Grand Tutor's mansion, Li Ru and Niu Fu also led a thousand soldiers, waiting for the city to catch fire so they could set off for the palace.

Tonight, they're going to do something earth-shattering!

Yuan Wei, Yuan Feng, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Sima Fang, and their group were still kept in the dark. They gathered at the Grand Tutor's residence to discuss how to force Empress Dowager He to come out and apologize to Liu Wei.

Then everyone worked together to force the young emperor to abdicate and welcome the King of Chenliu to the throne.

In this way, they were also meritorious officials, and Liu Wei would rely on them to govern the country together in the future.

Although I don't have as much power as before, as long as I can keep my position, I can deal with the rest later!

*** and Liu Yu also agreed to leave the city to act as intermediaries for them to negotiate, which gave them a sense of certainty of victory.

"Grand Tutor, the Grand Preceptor has sent someone to invite you over again!"

At this moment, another steward came in to report, "The important ministers have all arrived and are just waiting for you."

"I think Dong Zhuo must be panicking now! He hastily summoned us for a meeting, but what can he possibly come up with?"

"Besides, we have already decided to negotiate with Liu Wei, so we won't get involved."

Yuan Wei waved his hand, "Tell them not to come again. I am unwell and will not go. Everything is up to the Grand Tutor!"

The butler turned and left.

"Grand Tutor, if we openly break with Dong Zhuo now, what if he goes berserk and does something to our detriment?"

"He dares?" Yuan Wei said angrily.

"Just in case, we should send the Commandant of the Capital Region into the city with his troops," Wang Yun suggested.

“Alright, let Yuan Shu lead his troops into the city.” Yuan Wei nodded.

Suddenly, the steward rushed in, flustered: "Grand Tutor..."

"What's wrong now? Have Dong Zhuo's men arrived again?"

"No, Luoyang is on fire!"

"Luoyang is so big, it's normal for it to catch fire! Of course, the city's defense forces will put it out." Yuan Wei said dismissively.

"But Grand Tutor, there are hundreds of fires breaking out in the city at the same time!"

What?

Yuan Wei and the others were immediately shocked.
