Under the fury of Suli and Huchuquan, in the next few days, although the Xianbei and Huns allied forces rushed to Lulongsai tirelessly, trying to capture Lulongsai with the advantage of the sea of people, they lost all sieges.
In Xianbei, the Huns allied forces failed to attack again and again under Zuo Aoran's prepared defense. However, after all, the city wall of Lulongsai had long been in pieces. The Han soldiers and defenders of Lulongsai suffered heavy casualties. Many sections of the city wall were already in pieces.
Changed hands.
By the third day, the city wall of Lulongsai was covered with corpses. The Xianbei and Huns coalition forces repeatedly did one thing, setting up the ladders and climbing up the city wall. This was the simplest and most primitive means of siege.
, but at this time it has become the most direct and effective method.
The huge advantage of numbers is vividly reflected in the city wall of Luronce. There is a ladder erected on the city almost every few meters. The city is lined with people waiting to climb the ladder. Throw a stone from the city and it will be almost 100% safe.
Can hit enemies.
In the face of this indiscriminate attack, no gap in defense was left open. Zuo Aoran knew the purpose of Su Li and Hu Chuquan's approach, which was to use casualties to make up for the shortcomings of his command. With this
This is a method of exchanging lives. Even if the lives of two Xianbei and Huns coalition soldiers are exchanged for the life of one of Zuo Aoran's defenders, Zuo Aoran cannot afford to pay. However, even if Zuo Aoran knows that Su
Li Yuhuchuquan's approach, but Zuo Aoran had no choice but to lead the Han army to attack the gap in the defense.
At this time, any strategy is no longer important. What is more important is the courage of the leaders of the two armies, the bravery of the generals under his command, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command. At this point, Zuo Aoran wins!
Luoyang, the capital, in the study of the General's Mansion.
On the way to Hejian, Empress Dowager Dong was attacked by bandits and killed on the spot. All the officials, soldiers, and talented ladies accompanying her were massacred. This earth-shattering news reached Luoyang, and He Jin was also shocked.
He Jin really wanted to imitate Liang Yi and control the government like Dou Wu. After all, Han Emperor Liu Bian was still young, so he had to come forward to support him. In terms of ambition, He Jin was not that big, he just wanted to
Preserving the prosperity and wealth of the He family is enough for him.
Driving away Empress Dowager Dong eliminated a major problem in his mind. Logically speaking, even if Empress Dowager Dong was driven away, it would be in line with the ancestral system to send her to Pengcheng, Xuzhou. However, considering the high reputation of the Dong family in Pengcheng, he was afraid that if Empress Dowager Dong returned
After arriving in Pengcheng and raising his arms, people from Xu, Qing, Yu, Yang, and even Jingzhou would inevitably come forward to respond. You must know that there are too many people who can't see where he is going under the sky of this big man.
Therefore, placing Empress Dowager Dong in Hejian is the most appropriate and safe way. The strength of the Dong family in Pengcheng cannot reach Jizhou. Once Empress Dowager Dong arrives in Hejian, she will never be able to contact Pengcheng again.
But to be honest, He Jin had never thought of killing Empress Dowager Dong. After all, she was the mother of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. If he really killed him, I'm afraid the first one who wouldn't agree would be his sister. Besides, the first court
With Wang Mang's precedent, He Jin really didn't dare to risk the world's injustice, but now, Empress Dowager Dong is dead...
He Jin suddenly felt pressure that he had never felt before. The way everyone looked at him was a bit abnormal. Even his younger brother He Miao also suspected that he was responsible. In the study, He Jin was sitting.
The think tank, Cao Cao, Xun You, Xun Shuang, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zheng Tai, Zhang Miao, He Yong, Chen Lin and others are all there.
"Masters, what should we do in this situation?" He Jin asked everyone.
Yuan Shao was the first to say: "Although the death of the Queen Mother has nothing to do with the general, I'm afraid it is... If the eunuch temple uses this as an excuse to attack the general, I'm afraid the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the officials of various states will all
The general has a misunderstanding, and as a result, the situation of the general will not be good... Furthermore, if the eunuch takes the opportunity to do something unfavorable to the general..."
He Jin frowned and said: "I have the Yulin Army and the Five Schools of the Northern Army, and I also have the Xiyuan New Army. All the land in the capital is my confidant, what can the Yisi Temple do to me?"
Yuan Shao said calmly: "Did the general forget Chen Fan and Dou Wu's lesson?"
This Chen Fan and Dou Wu once summoned the Northern Army with the intention of killing Wang Fu, a well-known eunuch at that time. Unexpectedly, Wang Fu had a person of interest in his hands, namely Duan Ying of Liangzhou. In terms of military achievements, except for
Outside of Huangfu Gui, no one can surpass Duan Ying. This man's achievements were all accomplished with one sword and one spear, and his prestige in the army was extremely high.
Duan Ying took action, catching Dou Wu and Chen Fan by surprise. It was precisely for this reason that Dou Wu and Chen Fan failed in their rebellion. Yuan Shao mentioned Chen Fan and Dou Wu today, but deliberately ignored Duan Ying, Zhang Rang, etc.
Although people are powerful, they don't have people like Duan Ying. Cao Cao and Xun You were keenly aware of the flaw in Yuan Shao's words.
"What does Yuan Benchu want to do?!" Cao Cao's first reaction was to have a hint of doubt about Yuan Shao.
He Jin was shocked and asked: "What does the original intention mean for me?"
Yuan Shao straightened his chest and said proudly: "What the general is worried about is because the Queen Mother won't allow it. It's just that the Queen Mother doesn't know how dangerous people's hearts are. Although she is a compatriot with the general, she has been living in the palace for a long time. She has no trust in the eunuch... Haha, don't do it.
Forget that although Your Majesty is the nephew of the General, he is also the Queen Mother’s son. If the Queen Mother has doubts about the General, I am afraid that the General will be in danger."
He Jin nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, what Benchu said is very reasonable, but the Queen Mother doesn't allow it. What can I do?"
"I have a plan that can make the Queen Mother change her mind. You don't have to worry about the eunuchs taking advantage of it. Why not summon powerful generals from all over to kill the eunuchs! The eunuchs have committed a heinous crime. Everyone knows that although they have lost power, their power is still there. The soldiers of the capital
Whether you can obey the general's orders must not be ignored. What's more, the death of the Queen Mother is also a weakness of the general. In the capital, there are many people who are dissatisfied with the general!" said Yuan Shao.
"When we call together powerful generals, who can be a good one?" He Jin asked.
"Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, has always been very martial, and his soldiers and horses often fight against the Hu people. He can be said to be one of the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Ding Yuan has many fierce generals under his command, which can be used to send him to Luoyang, defend the capital, and frighten the capital.
Who dares to touch the general's edge at this time?"
He Jin nodded and said, "Ding Yuan is a fierce general."
"Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, once served as a general, so he is a suitable candidate." Zheng Tai said.
"That's true." He Jin nodded.
Yuan Shu also commented: "Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, are both outstanding people and can be suitable candidates."
"What else?" He Jin asked again.
Yuan Shao said: "Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Wen, the Taiwei... are all heroes among men. Once a few troops arrive in Luoyang, the eunuch can be eliminated, and the general can clean up the troops and promote the military power of our Han Dynasty.
Raising his reputation and making Xiaoxiao go into hiding, this is all he can achieve with one fell swoop, what does the general think?" It doesn't matter how many other people are there, He Jin.
Only Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou... would it be okay if he entered Luoyang?!
Yuan Shao smiled and said: "General, are you worried about Dong Liangzhou?"
"Exactly." Zuo Aoran nodded.
"Don't the general think that Dong Liangzhou is a tiger in Liangzhou, but in Yanliang... Haha, I'm afraid he can't bring hundreds of thousands of troops with him when he enters the capital, right? When the time comes, the general will have heroes from all walks of life to help him.
It is difficult for Dong Liangzhou to compete with the general." Yuan Shao said slowly.
He Jin's eyes couldn't help but shine again, and he said with a smile: "This is a very good statement from the beginning!"
"No! Absolutely not!" Cao Cao strode out and objected: "The disaster of eunuchs has existed in ancient and modern times, but the master of the world should not treat the powerful favors... If you want to eradicate eunuchs, you only need to kill the culprits.
That’s it, why do you need to call in foreign soldiers when you can do it with just one jailer?”
This sentence is very pertinent. Xun You, Xun Shuang, Zhang Miao, He Yong, Chen Lin and others all nodded lightly. Unfortunately, the death of Empress Dowager Dong became He Jin's heartache. He was really worried that if Zhang let
Others used this as an excuse to attack. When the time comes, Queen Mother He gives an order, and how many people in the capital can obey He Jin's orders.
"Could Meng De have selfish motives and want to harm me?" He Jin lowered his face and said decisively: "I have made up my mind, so I will act according to the original plan." Yuan Shao on the side showed a sinister smile,
He secretly said: "If this plan is successful, uncle's two tigers will start fighting for food. Empress Dowager Dong, hey hey..." As soon as He Jin made the decision, he immediately arranged for personnel to take action.
When Cao Cao walked out of the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long sigh: "I'm afraid that if this happens, the world will be in chaos."
"Meng De, be careful what you say!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Look, He Jin and Yuan Shao are actually the main culprits of the chaos in the world."
Xun You was silent for a while, and then whispered softly: "Does Meng De have any plans?"
"I intend to resign and return to Chen Liu." Cao Cao said.
"Ah, Meng De is leaving?" Xun You asked in surprise.
Cao Cao glanced at Xun You and said, "Luoyang will not be at peace. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid that neither you nor I can save our lives!"
"Why did Meng De say this?" Xun You asked again in surprise.
Looking around and seeing no one around, Cao Cao said softly: "Neither you nor I are party members... I want to go home and wait and see what happens. If Luoyang is not in chaos, that's all. If Luoyang is in chaos because of this... Gongda, I'm afraid
You and I have to find another way out next." After saying that, Cao Cao walked away, leaving Xun You alone in a daze.
Neither you nor I are party members...
Based on Xun You's understanding of Cao Cao, there is something in his words! A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind. Could it be...could it be that Empress Dowager Dong...Xun You couldn't help but shudder and took a breath of cold air?
, and then left in a hurry.
There is no airtight wall in the world. If you don't want others to know it, unless you don't do anything about it, the secret discussion in the study will soon spread like wildfire. Although it will not be known to everyone, anyone with a certain status will
More or less, they all got some rumors.
Since the last great change in the palace, Wu Qiong claimed to be ill. He was not idle at home every day, sending out his confidants to inquire about news from all over, because Wu Qiong was worried! He had two imperial edicts in his hand, one of which was revoked.
Crown Prince Bian, one copy of the imperial edict that made Prince Xie emperor was to confer the title of Generalissimo Zuo Aoran, and ordered Zuo Aoran to stand beside the emperor and protect Liu Xie's accession to the throne. Should I give this thing away or not?!!
Wu Qiong was still unsure at first. When he learned that Empress Dowager Dong had died and all the fingers were pointed at He Jin, his heart was shaken a lot. However, he was convinced that He Jin's plot was indeed the one that made him determined to send the imperial edict to Luoyang.
Wu Qiong was a military general, and he did not have such a high level of consciousness to notice the hidden meanings. However, he had good relations with Zhang Miao and He Yong. After being reminded by them, Wu Qiong finally understood that Luoyang was about to be in chaos and the Han Dynasty was about to be in chaos.
