Luoyang, Yuan Shao, who had put in order the soldiers and horses outside the city, hurriedly galloped to the east of the city, turned around and went off the wrong door to enter a mansion, and hung the word 'Yuan Mansion' on the main entrance.

In the east of the city, there are two Yuan mansions, known as the Great Yuan Mansion and the Little Yuan Mansion, the Great Yuan Mansion is the Gong Mansion, which is Yuan Kui's Three Princes' Mansion, and the other small mansion is the mansion of Yuan Shu, the general of Hu Ben Zhonglang. As for Yuan Shao, who inherited his stepfather Yuan Cheng's family property, he was not a mansion, and he did not buy a house in Luoyang, but lived in the old mansion left by Yuan Cheng.

The place where Yuan Shao came was the residence of the young master Yuan Kui, and he and the general He Jin participated in the Shangshu affair.

Yuan Kui was frowning and his fingers were knocked on the bluestone case in the study, and when he looked up, he saw Yuan Shao, who was sweating profusely, entering the door and swallowing warm soup in his stomach, like a drinking horse on the edge of the Yellow River.

Yuan Shao put down the cup, faced Yuan Kui with a questioning look, bowed down and sat on the opposite side of several cases and bowed his head and said: "Uncle, last night the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Changshui Battalion entered the city overnight to garrison Chengyang Gate, and the palace gate opened the soldiers and horses to enter, and this morning the entire palace city was under martial law, the four doors were not opened, and the connection between the palace and the palace and the palace was completely cut off, and no one could bring the news out. ”

Yuan Shao glanced at his uncle carefully, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid that Ma Yue has come out." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, the Changshui camp is dispatched, it must be the pony out of the cage." Yuan Kui turned his head with a moment of disgust on his face, and when he turned back again, he had already changed his eyebrows to kind eyes, and asked, "Is the school captain good?" ”

"The soldiers and horses are in order, and my nephew and Meng De and other lieutenants have been supervising the army in the camp outside the city all night, and they have not moved at all." Yuan Shao arched his hand and said: "My nephew has requisitioned the border troops into Beijing yesterday according to what my uncle said, and the general's codex on the side of the Qing monarch has been sent out. Dong Zhuo of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan of Hedong Rebellion, Bao Xin of Taishan, and Wang Kuang of Yuzhou...... Soldiers and horses were mobilized everywhere to contain each other. It's just that the city gate is locked, and the tiger army on the road can't move, and there is less strength. ”

"Well, when the foreign army arrives, the queen will have nothing to hesitate about, and then let the ten permanent servants die without a place to be buried, and our generation of scholars will assist Your Majesty, and the world will be peaceful!"

"Uncle, what about Ma Yue?"

Yuan Shao looked up at his wise uncle, and his words were full of jealousy towards Ma Yue. He never thought that the little barbarian of Xiliang, who was led by Cao Cao to see him, has now grown to this point, a captain of Changshui three or four years ago was released from prison, and the entire Changshui battalion was ordered, which scared the dignitaries and nobles of Luoyang City to sleep badly all night, and the six captains went out of the city overnight to rectify the soldiers and horses.

And what made Yuan Shao even more jealous was the emperor's opinion of Ma Yue, if His Majesty entrusted Ma Yue with a heavy task at this time, then what should they do? After a lot of hard work, he threw himself into the general's mansion, although he was dedicated to the country, but in the end, he taught Ma Yue to pick all the fruits, who would be willing?

"The better the horse, the more calculating. When you are tired of crooked knives, you want to be a knife catcher. The old man had already felt that this horse was more restless and ambitious. Yuan Kui squinted his eyes and crossed his hands in his sleeves, "Get rid of!" ”

Yuan Shao's eyes widened, staring at his uncle for a long time, and then he nodded heavily.

"Where did Dong Zhuo go, the old man wrote a handwritten letter, which was sent to His Majesty when the landslide occurred, and ordered him to enter Beijing as soon as possible to attack and kill Ma Yue."

"Uncle, yesterday Brother Meng De said conclusively that Dong Zhuo's mind is not pure, will he be unable to control it at that time?" Yuan Shao had some doubts in his heart, at this time, everyone seemed to be walking on thin ice, especially when the Yuan family played such a big game of chess, there was no room for the slightest mistake, "It's better to let my nephew and the highway leader attack the palace, and my own family is better than the side general." ”

Yuan Kui shook his head, "No, Dong Zhuo won't have any objections, he is a border general who is good at drilling camps, but unlike those barbarians, the Xiyuan army can't move, Ma Yue is a general in the army, you may not be able to beat him." If there is more damage, what should I do if Dong Zhuo can't be suppressed at that time, He Jin is unreliable. It is best to let Ma Yue and He Jin fight for both sides, except for the eunuchs who have no relatives, the Xiyuan Army suppressed the border army and let them return home, and the scholars Gongwei the new emperor ascended the throne. ”

"The future of scholars is in the hands of you young people, at the beginning, don't let the old man down!"

Not only scholars, but also clans!

Yuan Shao's eyes burst with fire, he knew how much hard work his uncle had put into making him the heir of the Yuan family. Success or failure, just this once!

……

"What to do, what to do, the damn horse has blocked the palace gate, no one can get out, Zhang Hou, you should say something, give the brothers an idea!"

Changqiu Mansion in the East Palace, with Liu Hong's serious illness recently, the call for the Qing monarch outside the palace is getting higher and higher, and the ten permanent servants are afraid to bet on the He family, all of them temporarily live in Zhao Zhong's mansion, and go to welcome the eldest prince and Queen He anytime and anywhere.

However, everything changed in just one night.

Early this morning, first of all, the rumors of Ma Yue's hard entry into the Huangmen Temple of the Heavenly Prison, it was too late to come up with a way, and then the big banner on the head of the city changed, and the Changshui Battalion and the Xiyuan Shangjun took over the defense of the entire Forbidden Palace.

It is not difficult to guess what happened later, the defenders on the gates of each palace set up strong crossbows at the head of the city, and shot arrows to warn them if they entered 300 steps, and shot directly at nearly 100 steps.

Zhao Zhong walked around uneasily, they thought that after His Majesty fell ill, there were only two forces in the world, the General's Mansion and the scholars, who knew that Ma Yue, who was locked in prison, ran out, but His Majesty had not yet cured him of the crime of disrespect, looking at the appearance, it was obvious that he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

At this time, they have nothing to take to please Ma Yue anymore.

Even the house in the east of the city was sold and sent to the Cheqi Mansion, and they were almost left with nothing.

Sun Zhang lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Rang, at this time, he couldn't care about the pretended respect in the past, and said mockingly: "I have already poisoned and killed Ma Yue in prison, you don't listen, now it's okay, leaving such a big disaster, it's no problem." ”

Bowed his head and smiled, "Let's go and accompany Guo Sheng!" ”

Zhang Rang glanced at him, with a little disgust in his eyes, and looked at his old friend who was terrified all day and coughed lightly and said: "Take out your shelf, it's just a change of defense at the city gate, and I'm scared to see you." Shall we offend Ma Yue to death? Think about it again, how did you plan to deal with the scholars and the general's mansion before, talk about it. ”

"I said Hou Zhang, why are you mentioning this at this time!" Zhao Zhong was stunned, Zhang Rang was too in danger, but what his mother wants at this time is not for you to pretend to be deep, you have to come up with a solution!

"Tell me!"

Zhang Rang glared, Zhao Zhong hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Don't worry, don't we all discuss it, first pretend to be aggrieved and stabilize He Jin, and the general who guards Queen He will not take us, borrow the general to stabilize the scholars, promote some martial artists, and then borrow Jian Shuo's hand to kill He Tuzi, and then let the scholars kill Jian Shuo, let's give the new emperor a party advice, what do you say about this." ”

"There is one more Ma Yue, and it will save some trouble, what are you panicking about?"

"What?"

Zhang Rang looked at the incomprehension in everyone's eyes, didn't say much, got up and walked outside the palace.

"Master Hou, don't go, the strong crossbows in the city can really kill, I have already shot three East Palace attendants to death early this morning, and the queen is angry and has broken the palace gate."

Zhang Rang didn't pay the slightest heed, strode and kept thinking about the heavily guarded city gate, and a group of regular attendants followed out, but they didn't dare to go as fast as Zhang Rang, so they had to follow far behind the buttocks, and the neighboring city gate hurriedly stopped, just watching Zhang Rang walk in front alone.

"Stop coming!"

With a loud shout from the top of the city, the crossbow bolt shot at Zhang Rang's feet, Zhang Rang's footsteps stopped, paused for a moment, and he continued to walk forward.

Twenty steps, thirty steps, forty steps.

Every ten paces, there was a shout from the city, and crossbow bolts were shot at the old eunuch's feet.

"Guangluxun has an order, take a step forward, don't count killing!"

"Kill or kill!"

Zhang Rang swallowed the liquid in his mouth, and was pointed at by a strong crossbow, who can not be afraid? He was also afraid, but he was afraid to try it too, to see if Ma Yue would really kill him.

Anyway, if Ma Yue doesn't see him, it won't be long before none of them can escape death.

"The old man often waits Zhang Rang, I ask to see Ma Yue and Ma Junhao, and please convey it on my behalf!"

Zhang Rang's voice was a little feminine, but it was not funny to shout so loudly, especially in this situation, it still had a somewhat heroic appearance.

No matter how the sergeants in the city had heard Zhang Rang's name, they saw a commotion on the city in a moment, someone ran down, and the stone in Zhang Rang's heart fell to the ground.

Standing a hundred steps outside the city, Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then came the overwhelming sea of people, that is, the endless anxiety in his heart, that is, Zhang Rang, who had read in the palace for decades, was not sure what Ma Yue's idea was at this moment to close the forbidden palace. I just heard that the sergeant in the city was on the order of Guangluxun, and eighty percent of this position was Ma Yue's, and he was promoted to Jiuqing, which was not a small honor.

But how did Ma Yue get here? At the age of more than 20 years, he is inferior to Sun Wentai in terms of military exploits, inferior to Yuan Benchu in terms of reputation, not as good as Cao Mengde in terms of family background, not strong in ability, and invincible in loyalty to mad dogs.

Ma Yue, why do you carry Jiuqing?

Ma Yue has only one advantage, he has stayed in the center of power longer than Sun Jian, he is cleaner than Yuan Shao, more loyal than Cao Cao, more capable than Wang Yun, and more capable than Jian Shuo...... The fierce and willful Ma Yue can control the scene.

In a chaotic moment, if Liu Hong has something to explain and can no longer see it with his own eyes, he must find such a person who has the ability to be loyal and pay equal attention to the wisdom tank to suppress the scene.

He doesn't need to have the bravery of the world, nor does he need to have the power of the sky, but he must have these abilities.

Zhang Rang stood under the hundred-foot palace wall, but the sun shining on his body made him feel cold. If Liu Hong must promote Ma Yue like this, there is only one possibility - Liu Hong has died!

Power alternates!

"Zhang Changshi, Guangluxun has allowed you to leave the palace!"

There was a sound from the city, and Zhang Rang, who was soaked in shock, trembled.
