Yong'an Palace has a circumference of 698 feet. There are Jingfu, Anchang, Yanxiu and other palaces in the palace. Like Yongle Palace, it is a place where the Empress Dowager lives and retires.
However, the empress dowagers of the Han Dynasty basically had the good habit of not only inserting a hand but also a foot in the government affairs, so generally there were various offices in the palace, as well as the so-called "an" and "le"
Not related at all.
Yong'an Palace was formerly the residence of Empress Dowager Dong. Later, when Empress Dowager He came to power, she killed Empress Dowager Dong and it has been abandoned ever since.
If Cao Cao hadn't come from a family of eunuchs, even though many informants in the palace died during the last palace chaos, after all, they had accumulated over many years, and there would still be some people who would report to Cao Cao. Otherwise, who would have thought that Li Ru would depose the emperor.
Emperor Liu Bian is hiding here?
If you want to go to the palace to save people, you must first pass the guard of Yong'an Palace.
Normally, palace guards are usually provided by the Yulin Guards, and Yong'an Palace was originally no exception. However, after the death of Empress Dowager Dong, the Yulin Guards in Yong'an Palace were abandoned, and basically all the original personnel were dispersed and sent to the frontiers.
The border was guarded, so now Yong'an Palace is guarded by some Yulin guards and Xiliang soldiers who were transferred from other palaces.
These personnel are on duty in the palace, and naturally their daily meals are in the palace.
It turns out that Yuan Shu's plan was to use people from Cao Cao's palace to drug these guards during late breast-feeding time. It was not poison but poison. Because the sound of poison is often louder when it attacks, drug poisoning is relatively safe and secure.
In this way, you only need to deal with those guards who have postponed their meals because they are on duty, which will reduce a lot of the pressure of entering the palace.
Cao Cao spent a lot of money this time. Not only did he let Nangong's informants drug the Yulin Guards, he also asked people in the palace to find ways to sneak into Yong'an Palace and drug the guards of Yong'an Palace. However, in this way, he would not be able to rescue the deposed emperor.
After this incident, regardless of success or failure, these exposed people are basically useless even if they are not dead.
The cruelty of the struggle inside the palace is no less than that outside the palace. There are only a few positions in the palace. No one will use someone who has made mistakes or has some suspicions. Therefore, these people have paid a lot for Cao Cao's ambitions.
Not only is it a temporary sinking, it is very likely that a lifetime will be abandoned or even your own life.
In addition, Cao Cao also sent people to make arrangements for the residences of the nobles in Buguangli and Yongheli.
Now I just wait for the opportunity to come...
*********************
Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiao are now outside Nangong. The two of them stared at a corner door in the southwest of Nangong without blinking.
A corner door is a small door with only one door. It is generally used for servants to enter and exit, make purchases, or when there are some indecent things that need to be cleaned up.
As the appointed time approached, Yuan Shu's breathing gradually became rapid...
Damn it, Cao Cao hasn’t shown up yet!
Yuan Shu really wanted to turn around and leave now, but Zhang Xiao was already behind him with his armor. The matter had reached this point, and he could only move forward. There was no reason to withdraw.
Under the nervous gaze of Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiao, the corner door of Nangong finally opened little by little. A small yellow door stuck its head out from behind the door and looked around, then took out a piece of red cloth and waved it left and right outside the door.
After two clicks, it immediately retracted, leaving a half-open corner door.
Done!
Yuan Shu was originally worried that Cao Cao never showed up and whether Cao Cao's people in the Nangong Palace would act according to the plan. Now that he saw the agreed code appeared, he felt relieved.
Yuan Shu turned to Zhang Xiao and said in a low voice: "It's done. General, please lead your troops into the palace quickly and search the palaces on both sides of Yongxiang. I will guard the general's retreat here!"
Zhang Xiao agreed, waved back, lowered his figure with his soldiers, and entered the Nangong Palace one by one through the corner gate.
Yuan Shu watched Zhang Xiao and his soldiers and armors all enter the Nangong Palace. He stood quietly for a while. When he heard the noise in the Nangong Palace gradually became noisy, and the sounds of shouting and killing began to be heard, he smiled and turned back.
He left with his personal bodyguard.
Okay, just do this step.
As for Zhang Xiao’s future?
It’s better to ensure Yuan Gongli’s escape first!
The sound of killing in Nangong was finally heard by people outside, and the entire Luoyang City was in chaos for a while.
***************
At Yong'an Palace, Cao Cao is having some trouble.
According to the original plan, Yuan Shu Nangong's side was successfully implemented. Unfortunately, when it came to Cao Cao's place, there were still some mistakes.
Now in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo is the absolute boss, and these Xiliang soldiers under him naturally started to tremble, and they were so arrogant. Originally, they were making corn rice today, but unfortunately, these Xiliang soldiers in Yong'an Palace suddenly wanted to eat it.
What soup cake...
I had to make soup cakes from scratch temporarily, but as a result, the drugged corn rice was completely useless.
Another difference between Yong'an Palace and Nangong is that although the corner gate of Yong'an Palace is also in the southwest corner, it is too close to the North Palace. If you use the corner gate like Nangong, if someone discovers it, the guards of the North Palace will be gone in the blink of an eye.
We will arrive in time, and then we will not only face the small number of guards in Yong'an Palace, but also the huge number of Yulin guards in Beigong...
Therefore, if Cao Cao wanted to rescue the deposed emperor now, he could only attack through the main gate before the guards of the North Palace could react, and strive to take the deposed emperor away quickly.
But before the strong attack, you can still do something. Cao Cao has already considered it and has a backup plan...
The riots in Nangong have begun to affect the whole city. People who were walking and doing things on the road have been running around like headless flies, looking for a place to hide. The road is in a mess, with various items scattered everywhere, crying and shouting.
The sound combined with the neighing of livestock made the whole city of Luoyang feel like a pot was boiling.
The guards of Yong'an Palace also began to become nervous. They all clenched their weapons and stared in the direction of Nangong.
Suddenly, a horse galloped from the corner of the street and arrived in front of Yong'an Palace in a blink of an eye. The messenger on the horse suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse and man stood upright and suddenly stopped.
The ordering soldier took out a tiger talisman from his arms and shouted loudly to the guards on the wall of Yong'an Palace: "Nangong is rebelling! I have been ordered by the general to mobilize the Yulin Guards and rush to quell the rebellion!"
After hearing the news, the Yulin Guards on the palace wall quickly put down a basket. After waiting for the leader of the Yulin Guards in the palace, the military lord lifted up the tiger talisman brought by the messenger and carefully matched it with his own tiger talisman. It was indeed the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops.
, he quickly got off the palace wall, summoned his Yulin Guards, opened the palace door and rushed straight to Nangong.
If Cao Cao had not been able to get the Xiliang soldiers' talisman and could only get the Yulin Guards' tiger talisman for transferring troops, he would have wanted to transfer all the Xiliang soldiers as well!
