Outside Yuan's Mansion, two majestic stone lions stared at the empty street outside.
Wu Kuang reined in his horse and shouted: "Where is Yuan Benchu, the general of the Tiger Guard?"
A soldier pushed open the door, stuck his head out, and asked: "Who are you? Dare you call the Lieutenant of the Central Military Academy by his first name?"
Wu Kuang said loudly: "I am Wu Kuang, an old acquaintance of Lieutenant General Hu Ben. I am here in an emergency. Please pass the message quickly!"
Yuan Wei put on neat court clothes, walked out of the backyard with the support of his concubine, and asked, "Why do you have to come here so late?"
When Wu Kuang saw Yuan Wei wearing solemn court clothes, he quickly rolled off his saddle and dismounted, saying: "May I ask if the general is here? Please go out and see him quickly!"
Yuan Wei said: "I went to the general's house originally, but I haven't come back yet."
Wu Kuang immediately jumped on the horse, raised his hands to Yuan Wei on the horse, and said: "Then I will go find him!"
After saying that, he picked up the horse and slapped it on the buttocks, then ran towards the general's mansion.
A scribe next to Yuan Wei looked very unhappy and said dissatisfiedly: "This man is so rude!"
Yuan Wei disagreed, stretched out his hand to stop him and continued, "Hey, maybe it's really urgent."
The scribe said angrily: "Is there something urgent that needs to be done so late at night..."
As he spoke, his voice trembled, and he looked up in the direction of the palace. When he saw the bright lights over there, his face instantly turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Taifu?"
Yuan Wei touched his beard and said calmly: "What are you afraid of? Benchu is leading the troops outside, and there are hundreds of people in the house. No matter what happens, we can be invincible!"
Wu Kuang once again led his troops to run wildly on the street. He didn't know how many people were alarmed. When they arrived outside the general's residence, more than a dozen soldiers holding halberds blocked the way. The crossbowman behind opened his bowstring and aimed it.
Cavalry on horseback.
"No!" Wu Kuang said hurriedly, with the hairs on his body standing on end, "I have something urgent to do. I'm here to find General Yuan Benchu!"
In front of the prime minister's gate, a seventh-rank official, the general's majesty is even greater than that of the prime minister. The general guarding the gate is a captain, he sneered: "This is the general's mansion... dismount!"
"
Wu Kuang suppressed his anger, turned over and dismounted. The captain said with a straight face: "Go to the side and wait."
When Yuan Shao heard that someone was looking for him outside with urgent matters, he was stunned for a moment, and then followed the servant out of the door. When he saw it was Wu Kuang, his heart jumped a few times. He peeked to the side and saw no one.
Attention, he took Wu Kuang's hand and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Wu Kuang whispered: "The eunuchs led the troops to blockade Deyang Palace, and Zhi Jinwu also put the entire Yueqi camp on alert!"
Yuan Shao said calmly: "Something big happened in the palace. Take my token to the outside of the city and ask Yan Liang to lead his troops over immediately!"
Wu Kuang said: "What should we do in the city?"
Yuan Shao turned his head and glanced inside the General's Mansion, with a vague sneer on his lips, and said: "Of course, the affairs in the city must be handled by the General."
Wu Kuang's back felt cold and he whispered: "I understand."
When Yuan Shao entered the hall again, Chunyu Qiong asked: "What urgent matter did you come to the general's house for?"
Yuan Shao said calmly: "A horse in the mansion was frightened and injured several people, so I sent someone to report it."
Chunyu Qiong laughed loudly, poured a swig of wine into her mouth, and said with a smile: "You have to pay for this?"
Yuan Shao laughed and said: "This servant is ignorant and makes you laugh."
Chunyu Qiong laughed and drank a few more drinks. Cao Cao took a look at Yuan Shao's calm expression and seemed to be thoughtful. At this moment, a servant entered the lobby and walked along the wall to He Jin.
Someone said something in his ear.
After hearing this, He Jin stood up and said loudly: "The queen has summoned me to the palace, so I will excuse myself first."
Someone said: "It's already getting late. Isn't it appropriate to enter the palace at this time?"
Someone else asked: "Could it be a trick of the eunuchs?"
He Jin hesitated a little. He turned his head and looked at Jiyang Hou He Miao. He Miao lowered his head and said, "The people here are our own."
He Jin was relieved and said loudly: "I am a general. If you give those eggless guys two courages, what will they dare to do to me?"
He was a butcher, and he wandered around the streets and alleys when he was young, and acquired vulgar habits. After drinking a few drinks, he relaxed and blurted out the words. Many scholars frowned when they heard him speak like this.
, and shook their heads. However, many military generals liked it very much and burst into laughter.
Yuan Shao said loudly: "Yes, we will lead the troops to escort the general into the palace to see who dares to mess around!"
He Jin smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, my brother Ji Yanghou can lead the army."
After that, he walked down the hall, put on his shoes, and walked to the door with He Miao. Bu Qu had already prepared the carriage frame. He Jin lifted up his skirt, got on the carriage, and then asked He Miao, "
Are you sure he belongs to the Queen?"
He Miao nodded and said, "I've confirmed it, and the code is correct."
He Jin frowned and said, "That's strange. It's so dark. Why did you call me into the palace? Could it be that the emperor has..."
He Miao said: "In the evening, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others sent someone to tell me that they were willing to cooperate with us in taking down Jian Shuo. Did you go and talk about this?"
He Jin said: "What's going on with the Xiyuan Army?"
He Miao: "Jian Shuo ordered the military camp to be closed. The people inside can't get out. I don't know what the situation is. How about brother not going? Just let me enter the palace."
He Jin was noncommittal and said, "Let's go to the White Tiger Gate of Beigong first and then act as the opportunity arises."
The carriages and horses sparkled, and hundreds of infantry and cavalry escorted the general's carriage outside the North Palace. He Jin stepped out of the carriage and looked at the city, and couldn't help but feel trembling. Although there were torches burning on the city, they could only illuminate a few spots.
It was a small area, and most of it was pitch black, making it difficult to see clearly.
He Jin felt cold in his heart. He gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then some generals jumped out on their horses and shouted at the top of the city: "The general has been ordered to enter the palace, why don't you open the door quickly?"
On the top of the city, someone stuck his head out and shouted down: "Do you have any proof?"
He Jin walked out and shouted to the top of the city: "I am General He Jin. Which general is on top of the city?"
The guard general took the torch in front of him and laughed, "Has the general forgotten our old acquaintance?"
He Jin squinted his eyes and looked up. After identifying clearly, he felt relieved and said loudly: "It turns out to be General Pan Yin. How can we forget the past feelings?"
He got off the carriage and was about to walk to the palace gate when He Miao suddenly rushed out and grabbed him. He Jin was puzzled and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
He Miao felt cold all over his body, but he forced himself to calm down and whispered: "Pan Yin just winked at his brother, didn't he see it?"
Only then did He Jin realize it. He looked at the wide open palace door and the bottomless darkness inside. He couldn't help but shudder. He immediately turned around and got into the car and loudly ordered: "Go back to the house immediately!"
The architectural layout of the imperial palace in Luoyang pays great attention to symmetry. The south palace has Zhuque Gate, Xuanwu Gate, White Tiger Gate and Canglong Gate, and the same goes for the north palace. Jian Shuo led his troops to ambush behind the White Tiger Gate in the west. He would throw himself into the trap at the sight of He Jin.
, but suddenly turned back, his mood suddenly dropped from the highest point, and he couldn't help but feel resentful.
He punched the palace wall hard and said angrily: "Damn it!"
Blood flowed from his fingers, but he didn't notice it. Jian Shuo looked at the lost subordinates around him, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, and said in a muffled voice: "Let's go."
Just two steps out, a shout like a landslide or tsunami suddenly sounded outside: "The general is dead!"
Jian Shuo turned around suddenly and exclaimed: "What's going on?"
When He Jin took He Miao into the carriage, people in the lobby also left one after another. After Yuan Shao went out, he immediately led his entourage and rushed to the Xiyuan Army. He was the lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army, and his official position was only in the Xiyuan Army.
Under Jian Shuo, he had an army of soldiers and horses. Even though it was at night, when he showed his identity, how could the sergeant guarding the gate stop his general?
The soldiers immediately opened the camp gate, removed the antlers, and let them gallop into the Chinese army's tent.
Yuan Shao put on his golden battle armor in the tent, put on the lion-swallowing sword, and loudly ordered: "Summon Wen Chou quickly!"
After a moment, the armor leaves clanked, and amid the sound of the scabbard and armor colliding, an eight-foot-tall tall man pushed the door in, saluted with clasped fists, and said generously: "My lord, please give me the order!"
Yuan Shao looked calmly, pulled out the Lion Swallowing Sword, handed it to Wen Chou, and said: "Lead troops to Beigong immediately and kill the eunuchs!"
Wen Chou took the sword, stood up, and said murderously: "I accept my order!"
The officers and soldiers in the camp had long been prepared for battle. When Wen Chou came out with his sword in hand, six hundred cavalry had already lined up. Wen Chou got on his horse, pointed his sword, and shouted: "Follow me!"
With the sound of iron hoofs, the cavalry was far away in an instant. Yuan Shao heard the sound of horse hoofs retreating in the big tent, and ordered in an orderly manner, "Gao Lan leads three thousand infantry, Zhu Ling leads one thousand archers, and immediately attack Jian Shuo's tribe."
.Jiang Qi led people to contact other ministries to join in the cause of justice..."
The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, their disciples and old officials are all over the world. Yuan Shao is the direct son of the Yuan family, and he has countless ministers and generals under his command. If you just pick a few people out, you can stand alone.
However, Wen Chou led his troops to attack Beigong. When he arrived near Baihu Gate, he saw the general's car making a U-turn in the distance by the light of the fire. He sneered, took a moment to organize the team, and then immediately led his men to rush forward.
He Miao was startled by the rapid sound of horse hooves on the long street, and shouted at the incoming cavalry: "The general is here, why don't you retreat?"
Wen Chou put the Lion-Swallowing Sword back into its sheath, took off the horse's harness, and ignored He Miao's shouting. He rushed to the prefect and stabbed one of them to death. The cavalry behind him were all members of the Yuan family, and they had grown up in the Yuan family.
, the food is from the Yuan family, and the drinks are at the original price. We only know that there is a family leader, but we don’t know that there is an emperor, let alone a general?
The cavalrymen held long spears and rushed over like a violent wind. With the impact of the horses, they stabbed dozens of people instantly. Even if they could shoot through the armor, they would be useless in the face of the charging lances.
He Jin's soldiers were all carefully selected warriors. Although they were suddenly attacked, they immediately reacted after dozens of people were killed and wounded, and launched a fierce counterattack against the enemy. Although the street was wide, how could hundreds of cavalry be spread out?
?The cavalry in front blocked the street, and the people behind were unable to rush forward for a while, so they could only take off their bows and arrows and shoot indiscriminately toward the front.
Soldiers from both sides crowded on the streets, fighting hard, and the ground was suddenly dyed red. The general who had previously beaten the horse and called the door was hit on the head, and blood flowed profusely, but he did not bother to wipe it. He got up from the ground,
Before he grabbed the car, he said urgently: "Lord, it's urgent, please leave quickly!"
He Jin's body was quite heavy and he was unable to climb onto the horse's back in a hurry. The generals and He Miao worked together to get him onto the horse's back.
On horseback, He Jin shouted: "My brother should stay with me for a while!"
He Miao raised the Huanshou Sword and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, send reinforcements over quickly!"
After that, he stabbed the horse in the butt. The horse felt the pain and immediately kicked off its hooves and ran out.
Wen Chou worked hard and used his horse's spear to pick up another portion, but when he saw that He Jin had already driven away, he was anxious, but he thought of it and shouted: "The general is dead!"
He was tall and strong, with a loud voice. He roared so loudly that half of the palace could hear him.
