In the palace, although there are two to three thousand eunuchs who can fight, they are more than enough to ambush, ambush and murder He Jin, but the difference between defending the city and attacking the city is not even one or two points compared to the imperial army.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao led 1,500 tiger infantry to attack for two hours, but they broke through the palace gate and entered.
There was a loud shout of killing, and the ten permanent servants were shocked. Not wanting to lose He Jin as their backbone, these party members became so bold that they dared to attack the palace despite the disapproval of the world.
Only then did I realize that I seemed to have made a mistake. I underestimated the cruelty and determination of these new heroes like Yuan Shao. Unlike the older generation of party members such as Yuan Wei and Lu Zhi, they always placed less emphasis on reputation than the former.
"Follow me to find the emperor immediately. Only with the emperor by your side can you survive!" Zhang Rang looked grave, holding the sword with still blood stains on it, and immediately took the lead to go to the young emperor's palace. The other ten regular attendants saw that the matter was already here, only
Follow closely.
There was no other way but to take advantage of the emperor's name and try to get out of the palace.
Rushing into the imperial palace, the emperor and King Chenliu were both there. King Chenliu was saying goodbye to his brother, and the next day was the time to return to the country. The two were still young, and their brotherly love was still there.
Ignoring the two children's cries and questions, Zhang Rang ordered several eunuchs to grab them and leave.
Fighting all the way from Beigong to Yongle Palace step by step, preparing to break out from Gumen and head to Beimang Mountain.
On the way, Zhang Rang discussed with Zhao Zhong and quickly drafted an imperial edict, promising to make Zhu Kui a former general, so that he would not have to go to Hangu Pass to intercept Dong Zhuo, but go directly to Luo to rescue him.
The emperor has six seals, and the young emperor Liu Bian has not yet taken charge of the government, so the most important imperial seal is kept by the Queen Mother He, while Liu Bian only carries the emperor's letter seal with him, which is used for issuing scattered political documents on weekdays.
In an emergency, Zhang Rang had no choice but to stamp it with a letter seal, hoping to win Zhu Kui's trust.
Finally, his nephew Zhang Jie was asked to escape back to the city and report the news to Wang's Trading Company.
One night, the palace gate was filled with blood, spreading from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The sky in Luoyang changed, and soldiers were rampant everywhere.
Blood flowed all over the place inside and outside the palace. Yuan Shao and others saw all the eunuchs, no matter how big or small, hacked to death with one sword. They chased them all the way to Beimang Mountain, leaving corpses everywhere.
Zhang Rang and others fled to Beimang Mountain. Along the way, all the emperors and kings were young men. They walked very slowly. No matter how they were scolded, beaten, or walked, they felt unhappy. Seeing that the pursuers behind them were very anxious, they hurriedly fled into the mountains.
Little did he know that a group of soldiers and horses suddenly came out from Beimang Mountain. The leader was a general with a golden sword and a large flag with the word "Dong" behind him. It was actually Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses!
The sudden attack of soldiers and horses only made Zhang Rang and others pale with fear. They heard the burly general in charge raising his sword and shouting, "Wuna is an eunuch who is good at killing ministers. Why don't you hurry up and kill him!"
The sound was like thunder, and the soldiers behind him were full of murderous intent. Zhang Rang had never seen such a battle before. He almost lost an inch and ran away without caring about the young emperor and King Chen Liu.
A hint of contempt flashed at the corner of the big man's mouth, and he raised his sword, and all the soldiers rushed forward and immediately chopped the dead eunuchs brought by Zhang Rang into powder.
Seeing Zhang Rang and other eunuchs running for the road, the big man shouted: "Bring me my bow!"
Throwing away the big sword in his hand, he took the bow from the guard's hand, nocked an arrow, pulled the string, and fired continuously, and streams of light went straight towards Zhang Rang and others' vests.
Suddenly there was the sound of an arrow. Zhang Ranglai did not rush to avoid it. He only felt a chill on his back. He finally lost his strength and fell off his horse...
"Haha! There is no place to be found after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. Hua Xiong killed the eunuch. You have done a great service." A high-pitched laughter came from the depths of the military formation, and the soldiers separated into a lane.
A handsome general with a fat head, a big belly, and a rough face walked out, his body shining with golden armor.
The visitor turned out to be Dong Zhuo. After the Xiliang Qiang Rebellion, he gained weight again. Behind him, his son-in-law Li Ru gently stroked his chin and said with a smile: "My son-in-law did not expect that the situation in Luoyang suddenly changed. It can be seen that God is helping my father-in-law.
Great things can be expected!”….
In fact, Dong Zhuo had already lurked in Luo. When he received He Jin's message, Li Ru suggested seizing the opportunity to enter Luo with troops, coercing the emperor and ordering the princes to slowly steal the Liu family's empire.
The latecomer Cao Cao actually learned from Dong Zhuo.
The troops were divided into two groups. Guo Si and Li Jue swaggered in from Zihangu Pass in his name, but he himself, Hua Xiong and Li Ru, led eight thousand light cavalry to sneak into the pass through small roads, and then his son-in-law Niu Fu continued to fight.
The army is about to go out. If the Luoyang incident can be taken care of, fifty thousand Liangzhou cavalry will roll in.
After smiling smugly, Dong Zhuo looked at the haystack aside, but there were two young men lying on the grass bank. One was wearing a dragon robe and the other was wearing a python suit. Who knew who they were?
But Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, pretended not to know, and asked in a long voice: "Who are you two? Why were you held hostage by the eunuch?"
The young emperor Liu Bian had been afraid of trouble since he was a child. Seeing Dong Zhuo's fierce look and the bloodthirsty hilts on both sides, his body trembled and he did not dare to answer.
Seeing that his royal brother was frightened, King Chenliu stepped forward, pointed at Liu Bian, showed his royal dignity, and shouted: "This is the current emperor. He was troubled by the Shi Changshi, and he fled here. I am the emperor's brother.
King Chenliu."
Dong Zhuo and others looked at each other in awe at Liu Xie's display of his status as a royal nobleman. Children are children after all, regardless of form. Dong Zhuo was about to get angry when Li Ru pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered a few words.
Dong Zhuo smiled knowingly, and immediately pretended to be frightened. He immediately took the lead and knelt down, shouting: "Your Majesty is frightened. The escort of the humble minister is late. I beg your Majesty to return the capital!"
Seeing the respectful look of the person kneeling on the ground, Liu Bian felt a little relieved and waved his head.
Then the soldiers led a horse, and the two rode together. Under the escort of a large number of light cavalry, they returned to Luoyang.
Soon after walking only a few miles, they encountered Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao who were pursuing them. They fought for a whole night with a thousand and five tigers, and only three hundred survived.
When he saw the flags covering the sun and the dust covering the sky, a fat general was leading the horse, followed by two young men on the same horse. When they looked closely, they saw that it was not the Young Emperor and King Chenliu. Yuan Shu couldn't help but be shocked. Yuan Shu immediately wanted to shout angrily, Yuan Shao
He quickly stopped him and made everyone kneel down to greet him.
Fighting all night, just to marry someone else's clothes.
Dong Zhuo's appearance took everyone by surprise. It was more than half a month earlier than Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing in official history.
News of the emperor's return to the court had been reported by Qingqi. The ministers who had been frightened all night saw that the situation had calmed down a little. At the gate of the city, Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao, Lieutenant Chunyu Qiong of the Left Army, and Zhao Meng, the Lieutenant of the Right Army,
Afterwards, Lieutenant General Bao Xin and several hundred civil and military officials followed, and the emperor and his ministers all cried.
Later, Dong Zhuo also passed down the first order to have his head hung on the city wall to show that he was serving the king, eradicating the evil of eunuchs, and returning the emperor to the capital.
For several days, two thousand armored and horse-armed troops frequently entered the city and marched through the streets, making the people panic-stricken.
Dong Zhuo's attack into Luo was so sudden that no one knew how many people came. After entering the city alternately day and night, the officials in the court were frightened and falsely claimed that 20,000 cavalry had entered Luo.
Dare to move.
Also, as He Jin's benefactor, he lured He Jin's brothers and subordinates and had them all under his control.
In two days, the Xiyuan Forbidden Army and the five schools of the Northern Army were unable to control Yuan Shao, Bao Xin, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao. Unfortunately, a few of them were able to control their troops and horses. In the fight with Shi Changshi, more than half of them were damaged.
Unable to resist.
Li Ru suggested again: "If my father-in-law wants to dominate the court, he must also eliminate his dissidents."
Seeing Dong Zhuo's confusion, Li Ru continued to explain: "The emperor is weak and cannot rule the world! My father-in-law might as well follow Huo Guang's example to justify the attitude of the princes towards my father-in-law."
In the past, Huo Guang deposed Liu He, the king of Changyi, and welcomed Liu Bingji, the great grandson of Emperor Wu, to succeed him, and later dominated the court.
"King Chen Liu is smart, eager to learn, and has the spirit of an emperor. He should be the new emperor."
After hearing what his son-in-law said, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed: "There will be a big banquet tomorrow and all the ministers will be invited to discuss the abolition of the establishment. Anyone who dares to disobey will be beheaded."…
The next day, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were present in Wenming Garden, including Ding Yuan, who had arrived at Luoyang with three thousand Bingzhou cavalry the day before, and also took the seat with his sword in hand.
After several rounds of the wine shop, Dong Zhuo stopped drinking and suddenly said sternly: "I have something to say, all the officials should listen carefully."
There was silence in the hall, and then he continued: "The emperor is the lord of all people, and he cannot worship the ancestral temple or the state without dignity. Today, the king is weak and not as smart and studious as King Chen Liu, who can inherit the throne. I want to depose the emperor and establish Chen Liu."
King, what do the ministers think?"
After hearing this, the officials' expressions changed drastically, but they did not dare to speak out because they were intimidated by Dong Zhuo's military power.
There was only one person at the banquet who was not afraid. He pushed forward the case, stood in front of the banquet, drew his sword and shouted: "Bold Dong Zhuo, dare to speak loudly? The emperor is the direct son of the late emperor. He has no fault in the beginning, why should he arbitrarily propose to abolish the establishment! What do you want to do?
Treason?"
Sure enough, there was someone who objected, and it was the one he was most jealous of. He immediately shouted angrily: "Those who obey me will live, and those who go against me will die!" Then he drew his sword and wanted to challenge him.
There was a person behind Shi Dingyuan, with a majestic and majestic appearance, holding a Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, standing up and glaring angrily.
"Who dares to kill my adoptive father!"
After receiving this drink, Dong Zhuo immediately stopped, his hair trembling with fear, and he realized that if he insisted on taking action, he would be stabbed to death by the young general in front of him.
As a last resort, the banquet dispersed in dismay.
