刺董

In July 189, the Yuan family plotted a coup. By pitting eunuchs against imperial relatives in a mutual slaughter, they seized control of Luoyang. However, they never anticipated that Yuan Shao, long discontent with Yuan Wei, intended to betray the family. Yuan Shao secretly sought out Cao Cao to discuss protecting the emperor, but what Cao Cao did not foresee was that Yuan Shao’s plans went far beyond that.
