In the Han army's camp, Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "The cavalry led by Zhiyuan have defeated the Yellow Turbans in the city. They are tired of dealing with it and want to boost their military power. In the opinion of the generals, how can we capture Hedong?"
Seeing that Dong Zhuo turned his attention to himself, Li Ruyue said to the crowd: "Although the morale of the Yellow Turbans in the city has been frustrated, they are still large in number. The art of war says, 'Surround the city ten times.'
wisdom."
"The Yellow Turbans' rebellious behavior in Hedong has long been a source of outrage. If we unite with the aristocratic families in the city to open the city gate, and then our army swarms up, Hedong can be defeated!" Li Ru talked in front of everyone. The previous behavior of the Xiliang army completely stole the limelight.
After that, Li Ru always wanted to save some face for Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo nodded approvingly and said to Jia Rong: "What do Zhiyuan think?" He seemed to be asking, his tone full of pride.
Jia Rong said: "Master Li's plan is the best choice, but how to contact the aristocratic families in the city is the most important, and the loyalty of the aristocratic families in the city must be guaranteed, otherwise it may damage the momentum that our army has finally gathered. Please ask Dong
Think twice."
Jia Rong's tone may sound very humble to outsiders, but in reality it is not.
Li Ru stroked his beard and stared at Jia Rong with his lustful eyes: "What's so difficult about this? The head of the Liu family in Hedong City knows Ru and promised him a lot of profit. This can be done."
"In this case, this plan is feasible!" Jia Rong turned his eyes to Dong Zhuo and said.
In words, Jia Rong had already got rid of Dong Zhuo's account, and in words he was on the same level as Dong Zhuo, which caused Dong Zhuo's generals to gnash their teeth and look at Jia Rong. If Dong Zhuo hadn't been present, some generals would have violently attacked him on the spot.
rise.
At this time, Jia Rong's wings were full, and his capable ministers and generals were as good as Dong Zhuo's. There was no need to deliberately hide his strength. In troubled times, only strength can make people surrender. A sharp tongue can persuade the enemy to surrender.
Based on a strong military foundation.
Blindly retreating and forbearing will only make others think that you are an incompetent person. Today's Xiliang Army is like a sword that has just been unsheathed, and its sharp edge makes the world look at you with suspicion.
Dong Zhuo didn't seem to notice the arrogance in Jia Rong's words, and said in a calm tone: "You all work together to capture Hedong as soon as possible. Then I will ask for credit for you in front of the general!"
Jia Rong noticed that Hua Xiong, Li Meng and Guo Si behind him were a little uncomfortable under Dong Zhuo's gaze, and even their gazes on him became somewhat dodgeable. He smiled in return and continued to discuss with Jiu Ji about attacking the Yellow Turbans.
After everyone dispersed, Li Ru tried his best to contact the Liu family in the city to discuss the specific time for the operation.
On a dark and windy night, Liu Cheng, the head of the Liu family, led a team of more than 500 servants temporarily assembled from the aristocratic families in the city to quietly walk towards the city gate. The aristocratic families in the city dared to organize their servants to open the city gate and meet with the Han people outside the city.
The army's sharp attacks in recent days are closely related.
The successive days of fierce attacks by the Han army outside the city left the Yellow Turban Army exhausted. Therefore, when Liu Cheng led hundreds of servants to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city still did not react.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Realizing the strangeness of these people, the gatekeepers pointed their weapons in Liu Cheng's direction and shouted loudly.
Because they were inside the city, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers' nerves relaxed. Only a few realized that something was wrong and moved closer to the city gate.
"The Yellow Turbans are innocent, let's work together to open the city gate and welcome General Dong into the city!" Liu Cheng roared and led several servants to rush towards the city gate.
In a hurry, the yellow scarf soldiers guarding the gate were defeated. They were still unable to match the lack of training of the servants, and they struggled to hold on.
Seeing this, the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city shouted and came towards the city gate.
The military situation was urgent, and Liu Cheng commanded the servants in the palace to attack the city gate to death.
The sound of "squeaking" the door opening gradually sounded. If you get close, you can see that from time to time, a servant who opened the city gate was killed by the running Yellow Turban soldiers. Another servant rushed forward without hesitation. These are dead soldiers. In order to
They are willing to sacrifice their lives for their master's orders. Although they are not strong in fighting ability, they are extremely difficult to deal with.
At this time, the city gate has opened a small crack. Through the small crack, you can see the shadowy torches and the hurriedly running yellow scarf soldiers in the city.
The battle at the city gate was undoubtedly the most brutal tonight. The servants led by Liu Cheng had a huge advantage at the beginning, and there was still a big gap compared with the Yellow Turban soldiers. These servants fought against the Yellow Turban soldiers with the help of a single weapon.
The soldiers were fierce, and the Yellow Turban soldiers' steady attack not only withstood Liu Cheng's attack, but as more and more soldiers joined in, Liu Cheng became in danger. If several servants had not sacrificed their lives for the master, Liu Cheng would have been killed by the sword.
.
After hearing the news, the Yellow Turban Army in the city rushed towards the city gate. Guo Fei also personally led 500 Yellow Turban elites towards the city gate.
The five hundred servants could not resist the wolf-like Yellow Turban soldiers. When the city gate was halfway open, the last servant reluctantly let go of his hands and was cut into pieces with random knives. Liu Cheng was also killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers.
, none of the five hundred servants survived.
Hearing the cries of killing in the city, the Han cavalry, which had been well prepared, launched the most violent attack to Hedong. The control of the city gate was quickly seized by the cavalry.
Lu Bu in the dark night was like a messenger from hell. Under the wave of Fang Tian's painted halberd, some yellow scarf soldiers would surely die. One man and one rider stood beside the city gate. There were more than ten enemy corpses around him. Under his bright eyes,
Under his gaze, the yellow scarves who came over all trembled in their hearts.
Guo Fei recognized Lu Bu in the darkness, sighed to himself, "The big thing is over", organized his soldiers to attack Lu Bu, while he led his trusted followers and quietly retreated into the city.
Looking coldly at the oncoming enemy troops, Lu Bu let out a low roar. Fang Tian rounded the halberd and then smashed it down hard. From a high position, a Yellow Turban soldier was caught off guard and was hit in the head by the halberd, killing him on the spot.
Lu Bu held the gate at one step and stopped the Yellow Turbans' momentum, allowing the city gate to be "slowly" opened by the Han cavalry.
After a while, more and more Han cavalry filed in, their swords and spears piercing their flesh, and the sounds of pitiful cries and screams could be heard endlessly.
After Jia Rong led two thousand cavalry into the city, he immediately divided his troops, heading one way towards the Hedong Governor's Mansion and the other towards the military camp in the city.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army in the city was in chaos, calling for friends. Guo Fei also led more than a hundred of his followers to flee towards Hanoi.
After the Han army entered the city, they immediately issued an edict to appease the people in the city and purge the remaining Yellow Turban remnants in the city. For a time, countless Yellow Turban rebels were executed, and anyone involved with the Yellow Turbans was executed.
Guo Fei fled in a hurry, while the main force of the army stayed in the city. The corpses of the Yellow Turban remnants were piled up in the city. He Jin gave the order to kill the Yellow Turban remnants, and Jia Rong was also powerless. Tens of thousands of young laborers were like this.
If it is lost, if it is placed in Jincheng craftsman's workshop or paper mill, it will save a lot of expenses.
When the news reached Luoyang, everyone in the court was filled with joy. Hedong was close to Luoyang, and there was a loss in Hedong. Even though the passes along the way were heavily guarded, it still made all the officials in the court feel like they were in a chokehold.
After He Jin rewarded Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo, he once again wanted to kill the eunuchs. With Dong Zhuo and Jia Rong as foreign aid, why worry about the Queen Mother not allowing it?
One of Yuan Shao's staff took the opportunity to admonish him: "The eunuchs who are hated by the people today, if they are executed, there will be no rebellion in the world, and the Qingming Dynasty will be restored. By then, the general will have done the most great work, and his name will be remembered in history.
"
He Jin was very excited after hearing this, especially when the staff said "his name will remain in history", He Jin's eyes flashed with gleams of light, and he growled: "Okay, if you guys can help me, why worry about the eunuch being immortal?"
At that time, you are all meritorious men, and I, the general, will plead for your merits in front of the Emperor."
When Chen Lin heard this, her expression changed greatly and she said, "No, General. Killing the eunuch is a major matter of the country. If there is any leakage, we will be in danger. The eunuch is in the palace, does the general want to lead his troops to attack the palace?"
?If this happens, the country will no longer be a country!"
He Jin's expression changed. What Chen Lin said did not make sense. However, remembering that his staff had privately talked to him about the benefits of killing eunuchs and the hints from the noble family in the court, He Jin's expression became firm again and he snorted coldly: "Eunuch
For the sake of harming the country, I am beheading you for the sake of the country and the people. Why do you say that the country will not be the country? If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be beheaded!"
Chen Lin bowed and left, resigned from her post in the General's Office, and stayed behind closed doors. Several counselors in the General's Office shook their heads slightly in unison. He Jin wanted to express himself too much, and the person he chose was a eunuch.
A slight mistake can lead to death.
"After killing the eunuchs, you will be men of merit for the country and the country!"
"Thank you so much, General!" All the generals in the tent said in unison.
He killed the eunuchs and gained great fame. He Jin won over many ambitious people in the army.
After it was clear that the eunuchs were to be killed, He Jin repeatedly entered and exited the military camp, contacted foreign generals, and behaved without scruples. His advisers repeatedly gave advice, but He Jin ignored them. He believed that the current eunuchs were just fish on the chopping board. As long as he wanted to, he could do whatever he wanted.
The eunuch can be killed at any time.
Seeing this, many counselors left the general's mansion one after another, but He Jin didn't take it seriously.
Naturally, He Jin's behavior did not escape the eyes of Zhang Rang and others. After some secret plotting, the eunuch began to take action. Previously, He Jin threatened to kill the eunuch, but was blocked by the Queen Mother. Now, in the current situation, he wants to kill the eunuch directly.
Killing, there is no room for negotiation.
Especially when he learned through his spy that Dong Zhuo and He Jin were involved, the eunuch immediately became nervous. He Jin's actions clearly meant that he was going to die.
The eunuchs made a plan, and when He entered and left the palace, he asked Xiao Huangmen to go to deliver the order, saying that the Queen Mother had something to call him. He Jin did not doubt that He Jin was there, and went alone despite the dissuasion of the sergeants around him.
As soon as He Jin stepped into the palace gate, several yellow gatekeepers immediately went to lock the door tightly.
Thank you for your support and support. Recently, there have been many things going on. Please forgive me for the inadequacy in updating. I will try my best to ensure continuous updates. I hope everyone will continue to support the Iron Cavalry!
