Chapter 311

Thousands of armored soldiers gathered in one place, instantly arousing the vigilance of the young emperor.

However, compared to these, the three cavalry walking out of the flanking bushes made Shangfang supervisor Qumu even more afraid.

"My own people."

Seeing Habayashi Wei's nervous expression, Lu Li quickly explained, "Your Highness, these two will resign at the end of the day and join Luo's robes."

"Please." Chang Shi Zhang Rang said hastily.

Not long after, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Xun Yu stepped forward to salute the young emperor.

Perhaps because they were aware of their extraordinaryness, Dong Hou and Shaodi's expressions turned slightly, and they continued to raise their eyes to stare at the welcoming army coming from the front.

Xu knew that after what happened last night, the young emperor was very afraid of fighting, or Jian Shuo had reminded him earlier that Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others were ordered to stay where they were, while they dismounted and walked to the left of the road to salute, shouting in unison:

"A country cannot be without a king for a day, please return the capital, Your Highness."

"A country cannot be without a king for a day, please return the capital, Your Highness."

Yuan Shao was caught in the crowd with a sad face.

In order not to make any mistakes, he specially sent troops last night to block all the seven gates of the north and south palaces. In addition, he also sent Qi watchmen to monitor the province. In the end, the two princes of the ten permanent attendants escaped...

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice!

Fortunately, with the northern army standing in front, and now that the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, it seems that nothing bad will happen.

With this in mind, Yuan Shao raised his eyes a little, wanting to observe the situation of the Young Emperor and Dong Hou.

At this time, the young emperor's voice rang in everyone's ears: "You are here to kidnap?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao lost his mind in an instant, and hurriedly bowed his head together with Situ Wang Yun and others to confess his crime.

After tossing for a while, the young emperor still chose to compromise, and nearly ten thousand horses set off, heading towards Luoyang City mightily.

When entering the city, many heads of Guizhou hid on the side of the road to watch.

Because the palace change at night was too horrifying, in order to ensure that no accidents occurred, these soldiers were all dressed in tough clothes and looked around grimly.

Regardless of whether it was a flashy appearance or not, the appearance was indeed mighty and extraordinary. Seeing this, the panicked hearts of the people finally settled down, especially after seeing the young emperor riding a dragon horse, they cheered for joy.

However, Lu Li knew that most of the soldiers lacked awe of the Han Dynasty. They could almost be said to be the general's personal soldiers, let alone the young emperor. Now, only a hundred or so guards with white feathers on their pockets were still loyal to him.

The wings of the country are like the prosperity of a forest.

From the beginning of its establishment, the Habayashi guards were to guard the Jianzhang Palace and protect the emperor and the prince. Unfortunately, the number of them was really limited, less than two hundred.

In addition, the Nangong was the first to be attacked by the rebel army, so the Nangong was the most damaged, and there was hardly a complete palace. In this case, the two princes could only temporarily live in the Beigong.

At noon, enter Beigong Miyagi.

Palaces and pavilions, high platforms and bronze beasts are all available along the way, and the majesty of the Tian family is rushing towards us. However, the traces left by the rebel army when they attacked the city are still there, only the corpses and bloody smell have been removed. The potholes under it have not yet been repaired, which makes this Tianjia majesty look a bit incomplete.

Yuan Shao knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to approach the palace, so he found an excuse to leave on the way, and the young emperor also didn't want this traitor to enter the palace, so he granted it immediately.

Because the eunuch in the palace was killed cleanly, the Sanshu Lang in black and high crown led the way.

It was not the first time for Lu Li and the others to enter the palace. You must know that they had a good time in Nangong last night, but this time is different from the past.

After a while, everyone came to a side hall with a good view, probably because the location was too remote and they were able to survive the military chaos.

I heard that Empress He, to be precise, should be called Empress Dowager He now, and she is waiting in the hall at the moment.

This kind of warm scene of mother and child talking, it is really not suitable for foreign ministers to be present and watch.

Just as Lu Li and the others were about to leave first, there was a sudden movement from the gate of the palace, and they saw a beautiful woman about 30 years old wearing a phoenix suit, walking on the steps under the attendants of seven or eight female officials.

Due to the etiquette of the emperor and ministers, Lu Li didn't want to do a lot of scrutiny. He glanced at it and then bowed down on one knee——

Wearing armor, unable to fully salute.

"Stay flat."

Empress Dowager He waved her hand, took Emperor Shao with one hand, and Hou Dong with the other, and led Zhang Rang and others towards the palace, apparently with no intention of supervising the country——

According to the practice of this dynasty, when the emperor died and the prince was young, the queen mother will take on the important task of supervising the country.

However, it was completely understandable that she ignored Lu Li and these unknown people, but Shang Shu Lu Zhi and Min Gong from Central Henan were also waiting nearby, so she had to have a few words with them out of emotion and reason.

Probably due to confusion, after all, without He Jin and He Miao, two powerful brothers, her fate can be imagined, and there is a high probability that she will be emptied.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager didn't order, Lu Zhi didn't take the initiative to ask. Instead, he said to Lu Li and his party: "Everyone, follow me to the Shangshutai and wait. There should be a decree coming down later."

There are Shangfang Supervisor Qumu and Habayashi Guard inside, and Jian Shuo and Feng Fang's 4,000 warriors outside. There is no need to worry about the safety of the palace for the time being. In addition, the official temple of Shangshutai is not far away. , can support at any time, so Lu Li doesn't have to worry too much.

"Then bother Lu Shangshu."

As the person with the highest official position in the group, Zhang Liao took over the leadership from Lu Li. In fact, there was no such thing as a leadership, and there were only three people in total.

As for Pan Ming, he complained to Lu Zhi, and hurried out of the palace to find Mr. Meng Degong——

How can a man live under others for a long time? Now, it's time to leave the small circle formed by Yuan Shao and pull up a team to do it alone.

at the same time.

The corner of the city, Sangong's mansion.

The three highest-ranking members of the Runan Yuan family were gathering in the hall, all of them silent.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was a secret passage in the palace that allowed the young emperor and ten permanent servants to escape, how could the situation be so passive?

But now, it's useless to regret it.

At this thought, Yuan Shao's brows stretched out, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and he weighed how to remedy it.

In fact, Grand Tutor Yuan Kui did not blame the two servants. At that time, it was absolutely necessary to attack the two palaces:

For one thing, the eunuchs suddenly launched an attack and killed their most important ally, He Jin. If they didn't launch a counterattack immediately, they might be the next to die.

Second, no one knows that Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang are mixed people. They only remember the kindness of the Lord He Jin. Seeing that the general was killed, they immediately attacked Miyagi without waiting for Yuan Shao and others to react. Qi, there is no way to retreat at all, so I can only do one thing and keep going along this road to the end.

"Highway, stay safe and don't worry."

At this moment, Yuan Shu kept drinking cold tea while looking left and right, unable to calm down at all, so Yuan Kai couldn't help but said: "Whenever you encounter a major event, you must calm down first."

"Learn more from your brother."

Hearing his uncle praise him, Yuan Shao couldn't help showing some joy on his face.

In terms of blood, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are blood brothers, the sons of Yuan Feng, but in terms of patriarchal lineage, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are blood brothers, because Yuan Shao passed on to Yuan Cheng who had no children when he was young.

It stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be very good, but the fact is completely opposite, because Yuan Shao's biological mother came from a humble background, so even though he is the elder brother, Yuan Shu still looks down on him.

A dispute is about to ensue.

At this time, Yuan Kai, who was silent for a moment, spoke again and asked, "At the beginning, how many soldiers and horses can you mobilize now?"

"Report to Uncle." Yuan Shao's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Except for Jian Shuo's Shangjun Lieutenant's Department and Feng Fang's Auxiliary Right Xiaowei's Department, the other six departments all obey my nephew's orders."

Hearing this, Yuan Kai nodded, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Shu.

"Uncle, my nephew has two hundred Tigers and Ben army, and six hundred disciples." Having said that, Yuan Shu added: "There are quite a few strange people among the disciples."

There is pride in the words.

Yuan Shu is in his late thirties, with a neat beard, and looks very stable, but when he was young, he was full of chivalry. Of course, it does not mean making friends with heroes, but breaking the law and discipline, and he was nicknamed:

The fierce ghost Yuan Changshui in the road.

In the past, Yuan Shu served as the captain of Changshui. He acted arrogantly and domineeringly. He often flirted with the princes of various families, disturbing the local people unbearably.

Although he has become more stable over the years, he is still far inferior to Yuan Shao's expectations of scholars and Confucian scholars. Because of this, most of his followers are knight-errants and outsiders.

"At the beginning, the road, and now our situation in the court is too passive..."

"so what?"

Before his uncle finished speaking, Yuan Shu broke his heart and said cursingly: "Brave mother! First the general was killed, and then the northern army took the lead in attacking the city. The situation in the capital is in such a mess. Could it be that the young emperor has the courage to kill my Yuan family?" Is the whole party expelled from the court?"

"Shut up!"

"Listen to what uncle has to say."

Before he could open his mouth, Yuan Shao asked again: "Could it be that he forgot the rules?"

But this time, Yuan Shu's performance was surprising. He took a few deep breaths, cupped his hands and said:

"What my brother said is true."

As the saying goes, brothers fight against the wall to defend against their insults.

People will always grow. Yuan Shu is no longer the captain of Changshui, but a general of the Huben Army. Even if there is fire in his heart, he must hold back at this critical moment——

For the benefit of the family, the two brothers must stand side by side. As for the fight for the heir of the Yuan family, we can put it aside for the time being.

Seeing this, Yuan Kai's face turned pale.

Although he didn't say anything, Yuan Shao sitting beside him could tell that his uncle was very satisfied with Yuan Shu's move.

"The Six Divisions of the West Garden, excluding those who were damaged in the battle last night, there are about 7,000 battle-ready soldiers left, and the 200 elite Huben Army, plus the Chengmen, Tiqi and other divisions, the old man's private divisions, and Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and the rest of the generals should be enough to deal with it."

The two brothers of the Yuan family listened silently to their uncle talking to himself, and thought to themselves: Is this planning to kill the Ten Permanent Attendants again?

"One hour ago, the old man received a secret letter." Yuan Kai didn't give a damn, "It was sent by the Marquis of Ao Township, and the messenger was his younger brother Fengche Duwei Dong Min, who is currently resting in the back house."

"Dong Zhuo?"

Yuan Shu was surprised.

"What is he here for?" Yuan Shao's face was full of vigilance.

"Dong Zhuo intends to join Luo as an old official of the Yuan family."

After saying that, Yuan Kai lowered his head and took a sip of tea, waiting patiently for the views of the two brothers Yuan Shao.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Shu asked, "Combined troops to kill the ten servants?"

"Yes, more than ten thousand elite frontier troops are stationed at Tianjing Pass, and it only takes one day to arrive in Beijing."

"Uncle, this move is tantamount to driving away wolves and tigers." Yuan Shao pondered over and over again, and said, "I'm afraid everyone knows what Dong Zhuo is up to."

Tianjingguan is located at the southernmost tip of Bingzhou. When you leave the pass, you will be the commander of Sili. Dong Zhuo, who has been reliant on Xiliang and refuses to take up his post, has stationed troops like this. What is his plan?

"Uncle, he acts as an old official of the Yuan family, he must be worried that his teacher will be unknown."

Yuan Shu explained Dong Zhuo's thoughts in one word.

It is a big taboo to learn from an unknown teacher.

"When Dong Min delivered the letter for his brother, he definitely didn't know about the palace change. Therefore, it is impossible to know that the general is dead."

"So Dong Zhuo is sincerely seeking refuge?"

"Well, the general secretly sent envoys to seek help from Bingzhou Inspector Ding Yuan, but he ignored Dong Zhuo, who is also a feudal official. He took the initiative to join us after learning the news. There is indeed evidence to follow."

The two brothers talked about each other for a long time, and they both agreed to call Dong Zhuo into Luo——

Even if this person is ambitious, he can only admit it.

As for the reason, it was naturally Lu Li and the others who suddenly came out to disrupt the situation.

Since Yuan Shu wanted to appease the rest of the Northern Army, he could not go to Beimang to meet him, but Yuan Shao went, and he saw with his own eyes that the three generals of Bingzhou surrounded the young emperor, and had a good talk with Zhang Rang, the prime minister of the ten permanent attendants.

And after the military chaos last night, the young emperor and the queen mother are very likely to transfer Ding Yuan, a veteran of the battlefield, to King Jingqin.

In addition, when the general was alive, he wanted him to be the executive king——

The position is higher than that of Jiuqing, and the rank is two thousand stones, which is equivalent to the state shepherd. It belongs to the position with high rank and salary and heavy power and responsibility.

In fact, one can also get a glimpse of Xiao Xiao from the name, Zhi Jinwu, that is, holding the golden leather to guard against the extraordinary. He not only controls the arsenal in the north of the city and the two hundred Tiqi, but is also responsible for defending the safety of Luoyang and Gong Province.

In other words.

As long as the person who is in charge of Jinwu is strong enough, he has every reason to incorporate the armies in the city.

And Ding Yuan's Bingzhou soldiers were He Jin's reliance in the past, with which he could compete with all forces. Now that He Jin is dead, Ding Yuan is very likely to be called to Beijing, so if he wants to counter him, recruiting Dong Zhuo will undoubtedly become the only one. s Choice.

Thinking of this, Yuan Kai waved his hand, summoned a servant, and ordered: "Go and invite Dong Min, Captain Fengche, and tell me that the old man has something to discuss with him."

"promise!"

A figure hurried towards the back garden.

In fact, even Yuan Kai, who had been up and down in the officialdom for a long time, felt that Dong Zhuo's plan was nothing more than wanting to become an official in the center.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Dong Zhuo was in Longwangshu, with Yuan's power in Luoyang, he would be able to contain him so that he would not dare to act recklessly.

At this time, Yuan Shao also recruited an accompanying warrior, and said in a low voice: "You keep an eye on Meng De secretly, if there is any change, please come and let me know."

Lu Li led the horse for the young emperor.

Pan Ming leads the horse for Dong Hou.

Yuan Shao did not forget this scene.

As Cao Cao's confidant, why did he act without authorization?

Could it be that Mengde is going to abandon me?

Obviously, Yuan Shao guessed right.

Tongtuo Street, Cao Mansion, and a small courtyard for cooking wine.

Cao Cao stood under the gazebo for a long time without saying a word, frowning tightly, as if he was thinking about something bothering him.

On the side, Pan Ming dropped his hands and remained silent.

He and Yuan Shao have known each other since childhood, although they can't be said to be the best friends, but they can be regarded as young, and now the sudden change of formation is really not enough loyalty.

However, the eunuch party is no longer a thing, and the person who is loyal this time is the young emperor!

Involuntarily, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with fire: A minister capable of governing the world...
