She　argued　with　him；　〃Those　officials　look　after　palace　affairs　and　are　old　servants。　To　kill　the　old　servants　just　after　the　death　of　their　master　would　appear　disrespectful　to　the　dynastys　ancestral　temple。〃

And　as　He　Jin　was　of　a　vacillating　mind；　he　murmured　assent　and　left　her。

〃What　about　it？〃　said　Yuan　Shao　on　meeting　him。

〃She　will　not　consent。　What　can　be　done？〃

〃Call　up　an　army　and　slay　them。　It　is　imperative。　Never　mind　her　consent！〃

〃That　is　an　excellent　plan；〃　said　He　Jin。　And　he　sent　orders　all　round　to　march　soldiers　to　the　capital。

But　Secretary　Chen　Lin　objected；　〃Nay！　Do　not　act　without　due　consideration。　The　proverb　says　To　cover　the　eyes　and　snatch　at　swallows　is　to　fool　oneself。　If　in　so　small　a　matter　you　cannot　attain　your　wish；　what　of　great　affairs？　Now　by　virtue　of　the　emperor　and　with　the　army　under　your　hand；　you　are　like　prancing　tiger　and　soaring　dragon：　You　may　do　as　you　please。　To　use　such　enormous　powers　against　the　eunuchs　would　bring　victory　as　easily　as　lighting　up　a　furnace　to　burn　a　hair。　Only　act　promptly：　Use　your　powers　and　smite　at　once；　and　all　the　empire　will　be　with　you。　But　to　summon　forces　to　the　capital；　to　gather　many　bold　warriors　into　one　spot；　each　with　different　schemes；　is　to　turn　our　weapons　against　our　own　person；　to　place　ourselves　in　the　power　of　another。　Nothing　but　failure　can　e　of　it；　and　havoc　will　ensue。〃

〃The　view　of　a　mere　book…worm；〃　said　He　Jin　with　a　smile。

Then　one　of　those　about　He　Jin　suddenly　clapped　his　hands；　laughing；　〃Solving　this　issue　is　as　easy　as　turning　over　ones　hand！　Why　so　much　talk？〃

The　speaker　was　Cao　Cao。

Wouldst　thou　withdraw　wicked　people　from　thy　princes　side；

Then　seek　counsel　of　the　wise　people　of　the　state。

What　Cao　Cao　said　will　be　disclosed　in　later　chapters。

Main　Next　to　Chapter　3　》》

Romance　of　Three　Kingdoms　…　by　Luo　Guanzhong　…　Chapter　3

Chapter　3

In　Wenming　Garden；　Dong　Zhuo　Denounces　Ding　Yuan；

With　Red　Hare；　Li　Su　Bribes　Lu　Bu。

What　Cao　Cao　said　was　this：　〃The　eunuch　evil　is　of　very　old　standing；　but　the　real　cause　of　the　present　trouble　is　in　the　improper　influence　allowed　them　by　the　emperors　and　the　misplaced　favoritism　they　have　enjoyed。　But　a　gaoler　would　be　ample　force　to　employ　against　this　kind　of　evil；　and　getting　rid　of　the　main　culprits　is　quite　enough。　Why　increase　confusion　by　summoning　troops　from　the　regions？　Any　desire　to　slay　all　of　them　will　speedily　bee　known；　and　the　plan　will　fail。〃

〃Then；　Cao　Cao；　you　have　some　scheme　of　your　own　to　further；〃　said　He　Jin　with　a　sneer。

Cao　Cao　left　the　meeting；　proclaiming；　〃The　one　who　throws　the　world　into　chaos　is　He　Jin！〃

Then　He　Jin　sent　swift；　secret　letters　far　and　wide　to　several　bases。

It　must　be　recalled　that　Dong　Zhuo　had　failed　in　his　attempt　to　destroy　the　Yellow　Scarves　rebellion。　He　would　have　been　punished　if　he　had　not　bribed　the　Ten　Eunuchs　heavily　for　their　protection。　Later；　through　connections　in　the　capital；　he　obtained　rapid　promotions　from　General　to　General　of　the　Front　Army；　to　Lord　of　Aoxiang；　to　Imperial　Protector　in　the　western　region　of　Xizhou　and　mander　of　an　army　of　two　hundred　thousand　troops。　But　Dong　Zhuo　was　treacherous　and　disloyal　at　heart。　So　when　he　received　the　summons　to　the　capital；　he　rejoiced　greatly　and　lost　no　time　in　obeying　it。　He　left　a　son…in…law；　mander　Niu　Fu；　to　look　after　the　affairs　of　Xizhou　and　set　out　for　Luoyang。　Dong　Zhuo　took　with　him　a　huge　army　and　four　generals………Li　Jue；　Guo　Si；　Zhang　Ji；　and　Fan　Chou。

Dong　Zhuos　adviser　and　son…in…law；　Li　Ru；　said；　〃Though　a　formal　summons　has　e；　there　are　many　obscurities　in　it。　It　would　be　well　to　send　up　a　memorial　stating　plainly　our　aims　and　intentions。　Then　we　can　proceed。〃

So　Dong　Zhuo　posed　something　like　this：

〃Thy　servant　knows　that　the　continual　rebellions　owe　their　origin　to　Zhang　Rang　and　the　Regular　Attendants　of　the　Inner　Bureau；　who　act　counter　to　all　recognized　precepts。　Now　to　stop　the　ebullition　of　a　pot　the　best　way　is　to　withdraw　the　fire；　to　cut　out　an　abscess；　though　painful；　is　better　than　to　nourish　the　evil。　I　have　dared　undertake　a　military　advance　on　the　capital；　with　thy　permission；　and　now　pray　that　Zhang　Rang　and　the　other　eunuchs　be　removed　for　the　happiness　of　the　dynasty　and　of　the　empire。〃

He　Jin　read　this　memorial　and　showed　it　to　his　partisans。

Then　said　Minister　Zheng　Tai；　〃A　fierce　wild　beast：　If　he　es；　his　prey　will　be　humans！〃

He　Jin　replied；　〃You　are　too　timorous：　You　are　unequal　to　great　schemes。〃

But　Lu　Zhi　also　said；　〃Long　have　I　known　this　man。　In　appearance　innocent；　he　is　a　very　wolf　at　heart。　Let　him　in；　and　calamity　enters　with　him。　Stop　him；　do　not　let　him　e；　and　thus　will　you　avoid　upheaval。〃

He　Jin　was　obstinate；　and　both　Zheng　Tai　and　Lu　Zhi　gave　up　their　posts　and　retired；　as　did　more　than　half　the　ministers　of　state；　while　He　Jin　sent　a　warm　wele　to　Dong　Zhuo；　who　soon　camped　at　Shengchi　Lake　and　stationed　there　without　further　action。

Zhang　Rang　and　the　eunuchs　knew　this　move　was　directed　against　them　and　sa
