遂西召前將軍董卓屯關中上林苑，又使府掾太山王匡東發其郡強弩，并召東郡太守橋瑁屯城皋，使武猛都尉丁原燒孟津，火照城中，皆以誅宦官為言。 He summoned Dong Zhuo from the west to camp at Shanglin Park, ordered his clerk Wang Kuang of Taishan to levy crossbowmen, called Qiao Mao, governor of Dong commandery, to Chenggao, and sent the fierce colonel Ding Yuan to set fires at Meng Ford so that the glow lit Luoyang—every move announced as a move against the eunuchs.
