The general is dead?!

What was he thinking at that time and why he dared to enter the palace city with only 500 Northern soldiers.

Lu Li was stunned for a long time, and he could barely guess an answer: He Jin had probably had enough of life, and felt that the world was nothing more than this, and wanted to die.

Beside, Zhang Liao was also speechless for a while.

At the invitation of the general, he came to Luoyang to annihilate the eunuch forces. As soon as he arrived, he disappeared after a few glasses of wine.

What should I do now?

You have to find a hilltop to live in. Otherwise, how should you behave as a Bingzhou border general?

After all, the three of them are all state and county officials. Leaving Bingzhou this time is a private act without an order from the court, which is equivalent to resigning with a seal and ribbon. At the moment, no one can take command in this huge Luoyang City.

"It must be Shi Changshi who designed to deceive the general. I shall avenge him!"

At this time, Cao Cao also recovered from his shock and made the same decision as Yuan Shao——

Bloodbath the two palaces in the north and south, kill the eunuchs as quickly as possible, and control the government.

"I would like to lend a helping hand to Meng Degong." Lu Li said immediately, "To avenge the general, Qing Jun will be sidelined and the country will be in trouble."

Now that He Jin has been killed, as long as the ten regular servants are killed, only Yuan Taifu is left in the court who is qualified to take charge. After all, the Yuan family in Runan is the fourth generation of the three princes, with clans, in-laws, and disciples.

However, if you want to join this group, you must obtain a certificate of investment, and now is the time to make a contribution.

After hearing Lu Li's words, Cao Cao's face brightened slightly and he said cheerfully: "In that case, please follow me to the West Garden to meet Ben Chu."

In the West Garden, Yuan Shao had already discussed countermeasures with his allies. Zhao Rong and Xia Mou led their troops to stay in the West Garden, responsible for keeping an eye on the troops left behind by the late Lieutenant Bao Hong, as well as the eunuch Feng Fang——

Feng Fang was the son-in-law of the great eunuch Cao Jie, and he was very close to Jian Shuo. If he knew that there was a change in the palace, he would most likely start an army and start a rebellion.

Chunyu Qiong was responsible for keeping an eye on the military academy commanders under Jian Shuo, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting, and violators would be killed without mercy!

The three captains did not shirk and accepted the orders one after another.

It stands to reason that every captain has a similar rank and no one can command anyone else. However, Yuan Shao has a good uncle.

In fact, at this moment, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei also got the message. He first received an edict stamped with the emperor's seal:

The late Taiwei Fan Ling was appointed as the commander of the Sili School, and Xu Xiang, the Shaofu, was appointed as the Yin of Henan.

He was suddenly awakened when he was too exhausted to make plans. This imperial edict was a fake one at first glance, and it couldn't be more fake. But why did the general enter the residence of Bingbai County, and why did Shi Changshi dare to act like this? Lieutenant Sili,

Henan Yin, all hold official positions with real power, and they are still in Gyeonggi.

Not long after, two waves of spies came together:

The general was killed;

The Northern Army and Huben are laying siege to the city, and there are signs of army mobilization in Xiyuan.

The former message directly changed Yuan Wei's expression. Even though he had been in officialdom for decades and had mastered Qi-nurturing Kung Fu, he was still frightened. But he calmed down and when he heard the latter message, he smelled an opportunity——

Their sons Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both held military power and could use both soft and hard tactics to annex the general's remaining tribes. Coupled with their own influence in the court, they could emulate the former Han Dynasty Huo Guang.

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Wei immediately wrote a letter, summoning Fan Ling, and promised the prime minister. As for what to do, there is no need to go into details.

Haishi.

Under the leadership of Cao Cao, everyone rushed towards the Xiyuan. However, not far from the gate of the mansion, they felt the imperial road shaking——

Yuan Shao led the soldiers of his department and the Dian Military School Lieutenant Division to march towards Canglong Que.

The palace city is the residence of the emperor, and its layout is naturally unique. There is a que next to each palace gate. The so-called que is actually a tower built on a high platform.

White Tiger Tower, Canglong Tower, Zhuque Tower, North Tower, Nangong Tower...

As the name suggests, Canglong Tower is built next to Canglong Gate and is guarded by Canglong Sima.

Lu Li and others had also seen it on the way to Tongtuo Street, no, to be precise, when they passed Xuanyuan Pass and arrived in Yanshi County, they had already seen the outline of this tower, which was a hundred feet high, as if touching the clouds.

"Mengde, have you also received news of the general's death?"

After seeing the person clearly, Yuan Shao was so happy that he ignored the pleasantries and said directly: "Follow me to kill the thieves!"

As for Lu Li and others, he subconsciously regarded them as Cao Cao's retainers.

There is one camp commander for every 100 people; two tuns form a qu, and there is a military marquis for every 200 people; two qus form a unit, and there is a military commander for every 400 people; and five units form a battalion, that is, an independent combat unit.

In order to ensure that he could capture Canglong Tower quickly and enter the palace to kill the thieves as soon as possible, Yuan Shao ordered all the soldiers and horses he could mobilize. There were four thousand men. Even if they sacrificed their lives, they could still use up all the city guards.

Not long after, four thousand warriors arrived at Canglongmen.

"kill!"

Yuan Shao didn't talk nonsense, raised his sword and roared.

Shi Changshi was forced into a desperate situation, so why not him?

Just like that, hundreds of soldiers began to set up ladders and collided with the defenders standing on the city wall!

The cries of killing are endless.

Lu Li, who received a ring-shou sword, squinted his eyes because he saw a light similar to that of a white horse.

Last year, when he was chasing King Gu Li, he strayed into Gongsun Zan's territory and was targeted by a small group of white-horse righteous followers. These people looked up to the sky and shouted: "Where righteousness comes, life and death follow it! The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof."

!", and then exploded with several times its combat power.

However, no one shouted slogans this time. The light emanated from Canglong Tower and was projected onto the guards, making them not afraid of pain, and one was worth five.

After studying it carefully for a moment, Lu Li finally determined what the light was.

Dragon Shadow!

It has a body like a long snake, a unicorn head, a carp tail, a long beard on the face, antlers like a deer with five claws, and a majestic appearance.

Not only did the Xiyuan soldiers have no vision behind them, but their combat power was greatly reduced. After dozens of clashes between their swords, they lost their strength and their heads were taken away.

In fact, the gap between the two is not that big. The equipment is equally well-equipped, and the height and strength are also about the same.

Luck?

Lu Li felt that something similar was at work, because they were attacking the palace city and committing treasonous acts.

When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw this scene, they both acted very calmly, as if they knew this would happen in advance.

"Ascend the battering ram."

"promise!"

Immediately afterwards, the archers began to shoot to suppress the Canglong guards on the city wall. During this period, a four-wheeled vehicle four feet long and two and a half feet wide was pushed up by dozens of soldiers, with a pole fixed in it.

Thick wooden pile.

After seeing each other for three days, we were even more impressed.

Not to mention Lu Li, he is no longer a novice with no knowledge of war, so he naturally recognizes this object, but this is the first time he has seen such a strange battering ram, so he couldn't help but ask: "Meng Degong, these patterns were discovered by the alchemists."

painting?"

I saw mysterious symbols as dense as tadpoles carved on the wooden cone, which seemed to be hieroglyphics, glimmering in the moonlight.

Cao Cao nodded and replied: "Yes, this is the royal possession of Emperor Guangwu."

As for why the royal objects appeared here, he did not explain.

Seeing that Cao Cao was so patient with him, Yuan Shao also realized that he had made a mistake: he was probably not a retainer, but someone from Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan!

After all, the plan to recruit the border generals to enter the capital secretly was dedicated to the general by him.

Now it seems that it was a foolish move——

In order for Ding Yuan to send his fierce generals to the capital, the scholar group promised him to serve as King Wu. This official position was worth two thousand stones. Although it was not as noble as Jiuqing, it had the same rank as Jiuqing, and it was a real power official position.

Not only did Zhijinwu have 200 Tiqi under his command, but he also controlled the arsenal in the north of the city. In addition, Ding Yuan had been operating in Bingzhou for many years. Once he entered Luo, he would not go alone. With two troops each, the consequences would be disastrous.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao's old habits recurred: he was broad but constant, fond of strategies but seldom decisive, suspicious by nature, and only focused on immediate gains.

While he was struggling, the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the Nangong Palace burst into flames.

Seeing that he could not attack for a long time, Yuan Shu simply ordered a fire attack. This could not only break down the door, but also scare the ten permanent servants hiding in the palace, letting them know what kind of disaster would happen if the general was killed.

The fire that burned the Suzaku Gate was also an extraordinary fire. Like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu was also a direct descendant of the Yuan family in Runan. As a disciple of the Grand Tutor, there was naturally no shortage of strange people and strangers under his command. The flames of various colors dazzled the eyes.

About half a moment later, with a ethereal cry, the palace gate collapsed, and the defenders hiding on the Suzaku Tower fell down.

Sawdust, stones, and materials of unknown materials were flying around, killing and injuring many people. The remaining wooden frame with carved Suzaku wings was half tilted in the air, as if it was wailing.

Not far away, the surviving city guards and eunuchs hid behind the pillar beasts, avoiding debris while gritting their teeth, waiting for a decisive battle with the rebels who broke into the palace.

"Sima, something bad has happened. The cavalry general He Miao is here!"

At this time, a guard with sharp eyes saw an army marching towards this place with a banner, and he was instantly frightened and turned pale.

In fact, the cavalry general He Miao was the first to get the news, even earlier than Yuan Shu——

After weighing for a long time, we decided to send troops.

He is the half-brother of Queen He and the half-brother of He Jin.

(He Miao Hejin’s father Xuxian is the son of his ex-husband Zhu, so they are not related by blood)
