Chapter 9: Chess player or chess piece

 In fact, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao were very close friends when they were young.

Let's play together and go crazy together.

We fight crickets together and visit brothels together.

Together they molested the ladies of good families, and together they peeped at the widow taking a bath.

Let’s climb a high place and talk about our life aspirations while overlooking the distance. Let’s chase, hunt and practice martial arts under the mulberry garden.

They were all still very young at that time, there were many books in Imperial College, and the city of Luoyang was very big.

At that time, they all thought that the world was so big and there were enough and big enough places for them to display their talents.

At that time, they all thought that they would become high-ranking officials in the imperial court, make great achievements and expand their territories, and become heroes who would leave their mark in history.

But I don't know when, that follower Yuan Shu who was always following behind started to act on his own, and it was obvious that he began to set up the Yuan family's noble family profile.

Later, Yuan Shao no longer lingered on the brothel makeup, and began to become brothers with a group of heroes. Soon after, he became the county magistrate of Puyang and left Luoyang.

At about the same time, Cao Cao began to meet many people under the conscious arrangement of the Cao family, such as Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang, Liu Xun, Xu You, Zhang Miao, etc.

It was also at that time that Cao Cao received the most important comment in his life: "A capable minister in governing the world, a hero in troubled times."

At that time, Yuan Shao was nineteen years old, Cao Cao was eighteen years old, and Yuan Shu was seventeen years old.

Cao Cao reacted the moment he saw Yuan Shao's eyes. Yuan Shu's initiative to invite Ying was not something he had discussed with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao didn't know about this at all.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at odds with each other, and Cao Cao was well aware of this. After all, he was from a noble family. He had seen this kind of dispute between direct descendants, and it only appeared in the games he played since he was a child.

When it comes to the eldest Yuan brothers, one can't help but feel a little emotional sometimes.

But it was just a matter of generosity. After all, it was an internal matter within the Yuan family, and he, as an outsider, could not influence it. But comparatively speaking, Yuan Shao could still be more or less talkative, but Yuan Shu always acted like he was superior, which was annoying.

Disgusted.

So most of the time, Cao Cao would be biased towards Yuan Shao, and would create obstacles for Yuan Shu from time to time.

However, Yuan Shu's performance this time was indeed somewhat abnormal.

On weekdays, Yuan Shu is basically the type who shows up but doesn't speak much. Usually Yuan Shao comes forward to express his opinions and suggestions, and Yuan Shu can only follow him. This is the first time he has jumped out to take care of things like today.

What does Yuan Shu want to do?

In ancient times, in order to consolidate the emperor's control over the military and prevent the army from causing chaos, the tiger talisman was generally used to mobilize troops. The tiger talisman was divided into two halves, one half was with the emperor, and the other half was with the general who commanded the troops. Only when the tiger talisman was seen could troops be mobilized.

However, in the Han Dynasty, all named generals, even if they were above Si'an and Siping, could enjoy private tribes. They could use only half of the tiger charms in the general's hand for dispatch, so as a general, he could mobilize thousands of people without any problem.

, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are currently only captains, not generals, and have no right to mobilize troops.

Therefore, Yuan Shu's statement is not wrong and is tenable.

After listening to Yuan Shu's words, He Jin nodded and felt that there was some truth in it. If you can't tell the truth, don't give people any excuses. It is really troublesome and unpleasant to deal with those Qingliu trolls. Besides, he felt in his heart that even the Shichang Shi could not

What to do with him? His sister is the Queen Mother and his nephew is the Emperor. How many of those eggless eunuchs have the guts to pull off the beard of this great general?

Seeing that He Jin was agitated, Cao Cao hurriedly said before He Jin spoke: "The general has something to do, how can Benchu ​​and I just sit and wait? What Gao Cao said is true. If Gao Dao leads the troops on behalf of the general, Benchu ​​and I will be at the general's left.

Guard to protect the general." After saying this, he secretly pinched Yuan Shao's eyes.

Yuan Shao understood and immediately responded impassionedly: "What Meng De said is true! Meng De and I have agreed to protect General Zhou Quan!" No matter what happens, I definitely can't do what Yuan Shu wants me to do!

He Jin Da Le: "Good! That's it, Ben Chu, Meng De will follow me into the palace, and troops will be dispatched on the highway to follow!" The charm of this general is still acceptable, okay, I won't talk about Ben Chu, it is still very considerate,

Cao Aha, Cao Mengde, you are smart and can correct your mistakes and you are a good comrade. Let me give you a chance.

Yuan Shu sneered in his heart, his uncle really knew what was going to happen, and you, Cao A'hao, did come out to disrupt the situation, but it doesn't matter, your fate has been determined, it doesn't matter whether you go or not.

Yuan Shao, don't think that being the eldest son will work. No matter how hard you try, you can't change your origin. The Yuan family is ultimately mine...

Cao Cao, when I was a child, you used your cleverness to bully me, trick me and humiliate me. Haha, let’s see what arrogance you still have after the eunuchs are all overthrown this time...

Yuan Shu lowered his head to prevent Yuan Shao and Cao Cao from seeing the expression in his eyes, stood up and followed the orders in unison with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

In the entire meeting hall of the General's Mansion, the only one who had some premonition of what was going to happen in the future, or who was more informed, was Yuan Shu.

Before Yuan Shu came to the General's Mansion, his uncle Yuan Wei secretly told him three things that must be done: The first thing is to encourage General He Jin to enter the palace - but in the end, He Jin did not need Yuan Shu to do anything at all.

The agitation was accomplished;

The second thing is that when a general enters the palace, he will most likely lead an army and must obtain the power to command the army. I originally thought this matter would be difficult to handle. After all, in addition to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two genuine Xiyuan Eighth School Lieutenants, there are also

Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and other generals could also command the troops. Fortunately, the general He Jin did not call Wu Kuang and others when he called for a meeting, allowing Yuan Shu to easily get the command on the grounds that he was not allowed to mobilize without orders.

the rights of soldiers;

The third thing is what Yuan Shu is about to do now - delay the departure of the soldiers He Jin summoned for an hour...

Although Yuan Shu could not guess the entire plan arranged by his uncle Yuan Wei, as the legitimate son of the head of the Yuan family, he had more rights to know than Yuan Shao. Just like now, Yuan Shu only knew that his uncle Yuan Wei was calculating He Jin.

Then He Jin would definitely suffer a disaster, but he never expected that He Jin would be so miserable this time, and that he would be beheaded when he entered the palace!

Yuan Shu didn't expect it, and neither did Chang Rang. He really didn't want to chop off He Jin's head. What's the use of He Jin's head?

What's the benefit of killing He Jin?

Is it true that Zhang Rang's head was filled with water if he killed the general of the dynasty without being ordered to do so?

That's right, Zhang Rang was planning to deal with He Jin, because He Jin was unreasonable - it turns out that Jian Shuo was against you, He Jin, and you got the upper hand and took Jian Shuo away. We didn't have any objections either.

Lord, you, He Jin, actually want to deal with us. Isn't this too much?

He Jin, you are a ungrateful person. When Jian Shuo wanted to deal with you, it was because we were angry with you. Your sister became the Queen Mother, and we also contributed a lot. Now that you have gained power, you will burn bridges. Can you?

Be reasonable?

What's more, we all went to the door of the General's Mansion to plead guilty. This attitude is low enough, but we still insist on making such a fuss?

I went to the General's Mansion several times, but He Jin put on airs and disappeared without communicating at all. Can you solve the problem?

Zhang Rang finally obtained the edict from Queen Mother He and allowed He Jin to enter the palace. In fact, it was because He Jin refused to see them, so he had to prepare to reason with He Jin in his own home court and have a good theory.

Of course, in his perfect plan, he just wanted to show off his force and scare He Jin. How bold can a butcher like He Jin who sells wine and sells meat who has never seen a big scene be? As long as he puts the knife and ax to where

He Jin was forced to go east, but he would definitely not dare to go west. He first collected the general's tiger talisman, and then placed him under house arrest for a few days. He would then release him after he sent some of his cronies to collect the soldiers and horses under He Jin's control.

At that time, as long as He Jin's troops and horses are in his own hands, he will be able to do what Jian Shuo did back then, taking control of the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan, and the entire imperial army in the capital will bow their heads and obey orders. It will be a foregone conclusion, and then the He family will have no choice but to pinch it.

If you hold your nose and admit it, it doesn't matter whether He enters the border or is killed or not.

Once He Jin's tiger talisman is seized and he has enough military power, he can be kneaded into squares if he wants to, and rounded if he wants to be. A tiger without claws and claws will still be able to do so.

What can it do? Wouldn’t it be better?

But - but - it was that bastard who started so quickly?

Zhang Rang really felt like crying without tears.

He just signaled the palace soldiers to take down He Jin, he didn't ask you to just take the sword and chop him down without saying anything!

Now that everything is messed up and He Jin's brain is gone, how can he still communicate?

Just when Zhang asked him to find the guy who beheaded He Jin first, a small yellow gate came hurriedly from the palace gate, reporting that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were outside the gate with a dozen generals' honor guards.

The noise and shouting even started to alarm the people in the palace, who came to ask Zhang Rang for instructions on how to deal with it.

"We can't let them in!" Zhang Rang was the first to react.

The second reaction is to go to the emperor quickly. The only one who can save his life now is the emperor. He has been forced into desperate situations several times over the years, just like the last time his servant Zhang Jun wanted to kill him. As long as the emperor does not give the order, he can still be saved.

!

It was definitely not me who took action to kill He Jin. I did not give this order, so I must leave him clean!

If it doesn't work, just say it was Gao Wang who did it. I heard that he has been very close to Zhao Zhong recently and is in charge of the North Palace Guards. It would be most appropriate for him to take the blame!

Zhang Rang hurried to the inner palace, making sure to get in front of the emperor as soon as possible!

Xiao Huangmen, who was left behind, is anxious. You ran away now. What should you do with this mess now——

Xiaohuangmen called repeatedly, but Zhang Rang turned a deaf ear and ran away in a hurry.

"This...this...let's wait until Mr. Zhang comes!" Xiao Huangmen also ignored it, said a casual word and ran away.

All the soldiers looked at each other and realized that the matter was serious. It was not one of them who took the lead, but they dispersed in a rush.

Suddenly everyone in the square ran away, leaving He Jin's body lying quietly on the ground.

I don't know how long it took, but a man wearing palace guard armor appeared from the corner. After carefully confirming that there was no one around him, he secretly ran up, wrapped He Jin's head in a cloth, and took him away.
