Chapter 40: White-headed Han court swordsman

Gongsun Xun did not lie. Although he was not sure what the situation was in Luozhong, when he returned to Lulongsai that day, he had immediately sent the report of the success of the counter-insurgency to General He in Luozhong, and now he even sent information about Yan Rou.

Disposal results.

This is not speculation, it is just fulfilling one's duties step by step.

Around late May, the first official news of success was sent to Luozhong through the official route. At this time, Luoyang was naturally caught in a new deadlock.

Of course it will be in a deadlock.

In fact, since the death of the Spiritual Emperor, the whole world has gradually changed.

Many people don't understand why the situation took a turn for the worse soon after Emperor Ling's death? The answer is actually very simple, because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was so capable. He brought disaster to the country and everyone knew it was him.

However, due to the fact that he had been the emperor for more than ten years, nothing could be done. Therefore, when he died, people's hearts instantly felt like they had lost their restraints.

As a result, Dong Zhuo held on to his troops and refused to take office; so Liu Yan instigated Zhang Lu to cut off Hanzhong and separatize Yizhou; so Gongsun Xun fought against Liu Yu as soon as he returned to the army.

Correspondingly, Luozhong is the same thing.

Dong Chong died, the ten ministers defected to the He family, Jian Shuo was defeated, and Empress Dowager Dong died in Yongle Palace... It was only a month after the emperor died that the protective film he had painstakingly created for the second son of the emperor completely disappeared. But the more ironic thing is that

, He Jin had no intention of taking action against the second son of the emperor himself. The only threats to He's authority from beginning to end were actually the existence of Dong Zhong and Jian Shuo.

In other words, Emperor Ling's arrangement itself is the biggest problem, and the root of it still lies with the emperor who is dead and not dead.

Therefore, the current problem actually lies within the He family, or there are some differences between He Jin and his family members.

It should be noted that after the threat of the Dong family was resolved and the authority of the He family was established, the scholars then naturally asked He Jin to fulfill his promise and kill the ten regular servants. However, He Jin had been in charge of the government for many years and knew very well that the scholars and eunuchs would

The strange circle of the foreign relatives also understands that scholars and eunuchs can only choose one or the other. In addition, the foreign relatives have always been defeated by the eunuchs, so his position is very firm... But at the same time, the Empress Dowager He who controls the Beigong, Che

The cavalry general He Miao was easily won over by the eunuch.

Forget He Miao, it is very helpless that the Queen Mother He, the actual owner of Beigong, protects the ten permanent servants life and death, including Yuan Shao, Xun You, Xun Yu, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Liu Biao, Kuai Yue,

Lu Zhi...wait a minute, the intelligence of these people can be dozens of times stronger than the Queen Mother He, but at this time, they are helpless when facing a heroine in a deep palace.

He Jin, the elder brother, was helpless.

So, having no choice but to persuade everyone, He Jin no longer hesitated and immediately called in foreign troops to Luo according to the original plan!

Of course, this time it is definitely not about to break up with each other. What the He Yuan Alliance wants at this time is to intimidate the Queen Mother He with foreign troops and horses and force the other party to submit...

Yes, everyone thought of breaking out and killing each other, but no one was really prepared. Although He Jin wrote to Gongsun Xun about the Nine Route Army, in fact, it was just a procedure.

The so-called backup plan.

However, Gongsun Xun and Xi Zhong had discussed this matter. Watching from the other side, they could see more clearly that it would be difficult to follow the procedures at this time, and it would be extremely difficult to maintain a balance. On the contrary, it would be inevitable to break up.

Everything went as planned. In early May, Yuan Shao was appointed as the commander of the Sili School on holiday; Wang Yun was appointed as the Yin of Henan Province; Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao each led their troops to the surrounding areas of Luoyang, among which Qiao Mao was in the east of Luoyang City.

It faces Gong County, Ding Yuan faces Mengjin in the northwest, and Dong Zhuo faces Jiyangting in Henan County in the southwest.

One more thing to say here is that Dong Zhuo was not that arrogant and domineering. After he came from Hangu Pass and marched to Xianyang Garden, which was only a few miles away from Luoyang City, He Jin sent an envoy, who followed the order honestly and brought

The soldiers and horses turned to Jiyang Pavilion and stationed themselves.

This is a full thirty miles away from Luoyang City.

In short, except for some innocuous little details, the three groups of soldiers and horses generally showed no signs of being out of control. They acted completely according to the instructions of He Jin, Yuan Wei and other officials in Luozhong who had de facto formed an alliance... also

They just pretended not to obey the orders of the central government and used the banner of punishing eunuchs to scare people, but in fact they did not behave out of the ordinary.

And if I really want to say something extraordinary, it can only be Ding Yuan. The former governor of Bingzhou and the current captain of Wumeng actually burned Mengjin with a fire. The firelight shone for dozens of miles, and even the North Palace of Luoyang could see clearly. However,

It was still done under orders, that is, under the orders of General He to scare the Queen Mother.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo tacitly submitted a memorial, murderously demanding that the Queen Mother allow him to lead troops into Luo and kill Zhang Rang and others.

This method...how to put it?

The effect was actually very effective, even far beyond He Jin's expectation... because this action, like shining a knife, reminded everyone that when Shi Changshi betrayed Jian Shuo and foreign soldiers had arrived, the eunuchs actually

The basis for armed resistance has been lost.

Queen Mother He was frightened, and the eunuchs were panicked and helpless. They even publicly knelt down to He Jin in the Jiade Palace to beg for mercy.

The interesting part of politics is here. At this time, He Jin could have directly ordered the guards to arrest people, but he just scolded them and then drove these people back to their homes in Luoyang!

Why?

General He doesn't want to punish him?

Of course not. When things have reached this point, He Jin has no choice but to punish the officials, otherwise he will face the wrath of the nobles, scholars, and even the generals! A few years ago, Han Sui made it very clear that the world

The situation is getting worse and worse, and everyone in the world doesn't know what to do, so they can only punish the officials!

Is that why General He is stupid?

Maybe it's a bit stupid, but it's not without reason. In fact, He Jin just wanted to wait a little longer.

And Gongsun Xun's victory came to Luoyang in such a strange deadlock.

"Dong Zhongying is a disciple of Taifu (Yuan Wei), Qiao Mao is a party member, the sources of the Northern Army and the Xiyuan soldiers are too confusing and unreliable... The general is unwilling to punish the eunuch at this time, but he is afraid that the eunuch will cause

In the turmoil, the Yuan family became dominant." That evening, in Liu Kuan's former residence in Luoyang, Gongsun Yuezheng, who had just sent Cao Cao off, was chatting with someone. "That's why Cao Mengde said before that the general is waiting for someone!"

"Are you waiting for the recruits he sent out?" The person sitting next to Gongsun Yue was actually Tian Chou. He received Gongsun Xun's order halfway and led more than a hundred people to Luoyang. He also had a good understanding of the situation in Luoyang, so

After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what was going on. "Or is it that he saw the good news sent by the emperor today and is ready to wait for the emperor? It should be noted that giving up the good opportunity to punish the eunuch would lose the hearts of the people."

"It's not necessary to wait too long." Gongsun Yue replied calmly. "Zitai didn't know something. Yuan Shao and others were extremely dissatisfied with this and urged him repeatedly. In addition, the situation was unexpectedly good, so the general was already in an emergency.

He sent people to quickly recall the recruits from all over the country. As expected, Wang Kuang and Zhang Liao were able to return to Luoyang within three to five days, and Zhang Yang and Bao Xin were also able to return within seven or eight days. Only one of them went to Danyang.

Liu Xuande may be a little later, but he may be on the way at this time... I thought that the general would only wait for a few recruits to come back before taking action, because the patience of the scholars will only go so far! If it continues,

, as you said, everyone in the world will doubt the general’s intentions.”

"Three or five days?" Tian Chou sighed for a moment. "I still hope that there will be no more troubles after three or five days. The world is already chaotic enough. But if the general can stabilize the court inside and the general Wei can sweep the place outside, maybe

There is still hope in this world."

"Zitai thinks too much." Gongsun Yue, who has always been honest, suddenly laughed when he heard this. "I have been in the Huangmen Prison for several years, and I have seen more of the world's affairs... How can there be salvation in this world?"

"Brother Wen Chao, what do you mean by this?" Tian Chou was slightly moved. "The world is in turmoil, and the source of the trouble is the eunuchs. If we can cut them off, and then clean up the rebellion..."

"It's not just eunuchs and rebellion that bring trouble to the world?" Gongsun Yue replied quietly. "It's just that eunuchs do the worst things and don't know how to cover up their mistakes. That's all."

Tian Chou was confused for a moment, but he couldn't say anything more.

In fact, what Gongsun Yue, Tian Chou, Cao Cao and others could see, others could naturally see, and compared to those who stayed out of the matter, some people simply couldn't bear it for a moment.

"The pig-killing general is so hateful!" Yuan Shao, who had already taken the post of Sili school captain, had just returned to his house from outside, and then sat down on the couch in the back hall, but he was still resentful. "It's already the third time.

Today I went to see him again. Wang Yun, Hua Xin, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zheng Tai, and Huan Dian were all there to persuade him to allow me to directly kill the eunuchs who were hiding at home.

, and he actually didn’t allow it?! Did he really regret it?!”

"The general is not like this." Guo Tu, who came after hearing the news, quickly advised carefully. "I think he is just delaying the attack until the situation is in his hands before taking action."

"I know it too, but I'm worried about what might happen." Yuan Shao became even more angry when he heard this, and even had a headache. "You said, if all the troops are recruited into the court, the general will have all the advantages, but will not care about us. Then we will really have to

So what if we maintain eunuchs? Are the eunuchs of this dynasty so easy to deal with? He Jin wants to be Dou Wu, but I don’t want to be Chen Fan!"

"No." Guo Tugang, who was standing aside, was about to say more, but Xu You, who was sitting casually on the couch next to him, suddenly twisted his beard and interjected. "Gongsun Wenqi sent a report today. The matter in western Liaoning has been settled. General

Don't you want to promote him as a hussar general and let him lead troops to Hanoi to suppress the situation? If you think about it, Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao can scare the Queen Mother and let the eunuchs leave the palace; recruiting troops from five directions can make the eunuchs leave the palace.

The general has the overall situation in hand, so when General Wei comes, does General He have any choice? He has no choice but to punish the eunuch, right? Gongsun Wenqi will not hesitate in such a matter."

"That would be even worse!" Yuan Shao responded immediately. "We have worked hard for months, but we have to make wedding dresses for others?"

"So, Ben Chu's intention is to prevent any change between the general and the eunuch?" Xu You couldn't help but sneer. "And it's best to do it as soon as possible before Gongsun Wenqi turns back? Right?"

"Zi Yuan has a plan, so you might as well speak up." Yuan Shao felt his forehead was hot and he couldn't bear it, so he didn't bother to whistle to the other party. "What nonsense are you talking about at this time?"

"Simple!" Xu You suddenly looked solemn. "The general has his own leeway. It is difficult for you to force him at first, but you may not be able to force others! Aren't you the captain of Sili? Why don't you pretend to convey the general's intention immediately?

Let the local officials arrest the family members of the Shichang servants, but where are the clan members?"

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, but then looked at Guo Tu.

Guo Gongze pondered for a moment, and then rarely nodded in agreement with Xu You's opinion: "This is a wonderful plan. This move does not depend on whether the local government believes it, nor does it have the courage, nor does it even depend on the fact that the general is our generation."

I don't want to wait any longer, just to tell those eunuchs hiding at home that it is impossible for the general to forgive them, and no one in the world can forgive them. They have only one way to die! And the general has figured out the state of mind of these eunuchs, and naturally

I won’t hesitate any longer.”

Yuan Shao held his forehead and thought for a moment, but then suddenly set off and went to Sili Xiaowei's mansion.

Just like that, on the second day, countless official documents from Luozhong were sent to various places in a grand manner. The official documents were straightforward, naming Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and other regular attendants Huangmen's family members and tribesmen in the name of General He Jin. The deadlock in Luozhong

It was broken in an instant.

What's interesting is that just when He Jin was caught off guard, and before the wise men around him could explain to him the meaning behind Yuan Shao's move, at noon that day, his half-brother, Cheqi,

General He Miao came to visit again.

"What do you mean? What does 'equally enjoy wealth and honor' mean?" He Jin asked with a frown, holding on to the jade pendant at his waist.

"Brother." He Miao, who had just sat down, replied helplessly. "What I mean is that we, brothers and sisters, are just ordinary people in Nanyang. Now that we have such wealth, why do we have to go through so much trouble? Enjoying wealth is the right thing to do.

.”

He Jin opened his mouth to speak, but was so angry that he had nothing to say because of his unrelated brother... It was pity that he had to work hard to balance, win over this one, suppress that, just hoping that the He family would not fall into the trap and the whole family would die.

As a result, in the eyes of his younger brother, it actually delayed his enjoyment of wealth?!

And the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and in the end he actually tore off the jade pendant in his hand, smashed it to the ground, and smashed it into pieces.

When He Miao saw this, he knew that he had angered the other party, so he couldn't help but say goodbye and left immediately.

At this point, the eunuchs' last effort to plead for reconciliation ended before it even began because of He Miao's stupidity.

This day is May 24th,

General Wei Gongsun Xun has just finished annexing Shanggu Wuhuan, Liu Bei is still on his way back from Yangzhou, Bao Xin will not be able to return for five or six days, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang will not be able to reach Luoyang for three or four days, and Wang Kuang has already led his troops back.

We arrived twenty miles east of Luoyang City.

At the same time, Ding Yuan was in Mengjin, Qiao Mao was in Gong County, Dong Zhuo was in Jiyang Pavilion... everyone was watching the scenery.

————I am the dividing line that has not yet begun————

"In the sixth year of Zhongping... Yuan Shao was afraid of a change of plan, so he threatened him and said: 'The deal has been completed, the situation has been exposed, what does the general want to do if he doesn't decide it early? Things have changed over time, and he has become the Dou family again!

' Jin then appointed Shao as the commander of the school, and during the holidays, he was ordered to attack. Wang Yun, who was engaged in Zhonglang, was appointed as the Yin of Henan Province. Shao envoys were appointed as Luoyang Fangluo, military officials, and supervisors, and urged Dong Zhuo and other envoys to report to Chiyi.

The advance of the army was optimistic. The Empress Dowager was frightened, so she dismissed her regular attendants, and the envoys from Xiaohuangmen returned to their homes, leaving only Jinsu as a private person to guard the province. All the regular attendants and Xiaohuangmen all went to Jin to apologize, but they were dealt with accordingly. Jin said

He said: "The Hungarians in the world are troubled by all the kings. Now that Dong Zhuo is here, why don't all the kings return to their countries as soon as possible!" Yuan Shao advised him to go forward to facilitate the decisive battle.

, but he looked around and said, "If General Wei arrives, where will you and I be able to deal with it?" So he used Guo Tu and Xu You's plan to inform the states and counties in false letters, falsely announcing his intention to arrest the officials and relatives in the case. At this point,

The plans have been accumulated for a long time, but they have been leaked, and the middle officials are afraid and want to change." - "Dian Lue". Yan, Pei Song's Notes
