Chapter Twenty-Four: The Burning of the Palace Gate
Today's Luoyang City, in Ma Yue's eyes, is like a Shenmu Wangding. The Xiyuan Army, the Southern Army, and the Northern Army outside the palace all crowded into the city, and the border army would lock the city gate when they came. The two sides are bound to be separated from life and death in this imperial city. The two princes are this Gu, on one side is the eldest prince, on the other side is the little prince, and the two children who are not doing anything are pushed to seize the supreme authority of the country.
Whoever wins, is the emperor!
"Master, master, the big thing is not good, the general was killed by Ma Yue with the emperor's edict! The Highway Boy has already sent someone to Qingzo Gate with fire oil, threatening to set fire to the palace! β
Yuan Shao took Cao Cao to his own mansion, he always felt that something was wrong, He Jin took Wu Kuang into the palace, and said that he should have come out at this time, and specially came to ask his uncle Yuan Kui what to do next, so he heard the return of the subordinate who rushed back, which really startled Yuan Shao, and hurriedly pulled the subordinate and asked: "What's the matter, you said it clearly!" β
"Yes, yes." When did the family see the moment when the eldest young master of his own family was so nervous and graceless, he hurriedly said: "Today, Shangshu ordered Lu to implant in the palace to see Ma Yue, and when he came out, he came out with a wooden box, saying that the general rebelled and had been killed by Ma Yue in the palace, the first to know was Zhao Rong and Feng Fang, who were outside the Chengyang Gate, and hurriedly reported the news to the highway boy outside the Qingzuo Gate, and the tiger Benlang in the hands of the second prince went to rob the arsenal in the city. In a fit of rage, under the banner of Ma Yue's rebellion and killing the general, he set a fire outside the Qingzuo Gate! β
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were shocked when they heard this, Cao Cao heard that Ma Yue had killed He Jin, and the news of Yuan Shu's arson was even more angry. "This highway is just nonsense, even if Jun Hao killed the general, he was ordered by the emperor, how could he set fire to the palace gate?"
Yuan Shao also ran out of ideas all of a sudden, no one expected that Ma Yue would come to the real thing, and directly execute the general in the palace. Hurriedly asked Yuan Kui, who was sitting at the top, "Uncle, how can you solve this situation now?" β
"Resolved? The old man thinks it's just right! Yuan Kui, who was sitting in the house, clapped his hands and stood up, looked at Yuan Shao Cao Cao and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, all of them will be killed, it's nothing more than He Jin replaced by Ma Yue, go and gather the soldiers and horses of several of your captains to attack the palace, under the banner of avenging the general, eunuchs, relatives, and ministers are all indispensable!" β
"After all the killings, there will be no eunuchs in the world in the future, and the sea will be clear!" Old Yuan Kui looked overjoyed, patted Yuan Shao's shoulder and said, "Originally, the general was not there, and most of the shogunate bowed down to you, so take them to the side of the Qing monarch." β
As he spoke, Old Yuan Kui looked at Cao Cao and smiled kindly, "Meng De, we are old, and the future court, this world, will depend on you!" β
Yuan Shao received the order, dragged Cao Cao, who was still in a daze, out of Yuan's mansion, and walked a long way before Cao Cao reacted, shook off Yuan Shao's hand and asked, "You already knew about this?" Foreign troops are not recruited to scare the queen, but to kill the general? Dong Zhuo is the protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family, and I, Cao Mengde, Zhao Rong, and above are you Yuan Benchu, and it is your Yuan family. Bao Xin is Bao Hong above, Bao Hong is your Yuan Benchu, and you are still your Yuan family above. Ding Yuan has been leaning on the Wang family of Bingzhou, Wang Yun is your Yuan family up, and Wang Kuang is also your Yuan family...... Originally, you hid it from me so hard, it turns out that your Yuan family has been playing with us between applause! β
Hearing Cao Cao say this, Yuan Shao was stunned, looking at Cao Cao's distrustful eyes made him feel bitter, Yuan Shao reached out and grabbed Cao Cao's sleeve and said: "Meng De, it's not what you think, it's not our Yuan family, it's us!" It's me Yuan Benchu, it's Cao Mengde, it's the highway, it's us! This matter was originally planned by the old people in the house for us young people, can your father see through it? Does he support you? It's for us! β
Seeing that Cao Cao's father's face loosened slightly, Yuan Shao hurriedly continued: "Except for the eunuchs, there are no relatives, and in the future, we scholars will be auxiliary to the government, and there will be no ten permanent servants to poison the world, the prince is young, my generation of scholars can personally teach the prince to have the world in mind, and the world will change to a different appearance in less than twenty years, which is a major event that will benefit the world for thousands of years!" β
"Bao Lao Er died unjustly in Huangmen Temple, if you attack the palace today and don't know how many lives will be destroyed, is this the price paid by your Yuan Mansion?"
"Xiao Tan'er is already twelve years old, if it's just for some selfish desires, I won't do it desperately at the cost of my life." Yuan Shao glanced around, he couldn't resist Cao Cao's sarcastic inquiry, if it weren't for Cao Cao, who was always proud, how could Yuan Shao, who had always been proud, accept someone to ask him with such a tone.
"Mengde, don't talk about me like that, for twenty years, I have no friendship between you and me, if I have the heart to hide it from you, how can I bring you into the house today, and deliberately let you hear this? Meng De, I don't know if those captains will listen to me, I am very worried in my heart, the matter has come to this, if I can't attack the palace and get rid of the eunuchs, the heroic spirits who died before will die in vain! Do you remember the first time you and I met, I was only twelve years old that year, you said I was a brother and you were a brother, I couldn't speak at that time, you were the first person to call me brother, for more than 20 years, only you Cao Mengde teased me Yuan Benchu, when there was a good thing to be a brother, I hid away from you when I was in the party, you are my best brother, if you don't help me at this time, then I am not sure that those school captains are brothers, Mengde, help me, I need you to help me! β
Whether other people's lives are the price that Yuan Fu paid for the world Yuan Shao couldn't say, but he knew that speaking low was the price he Yuan Ben paid for friendship at the beginning!
Yuan Shao's words are like opening a key to memories, in the face of Yuan Shao, who is always loved, even if he doesn't look for Yuan Shu, he will come to find himself, Cao Cao He really can't refuse. He Cao Mengde is short, dark-skinned and bitter, not to mention being scolded as an eunuch, but Yuan Benchu seems to have everything, handsome face, tall figure, and unparalleled family background...... Yuan Shao had everything that Cao Cao envied. Licking his chapped lips, Cao Cao actually couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao, who seemed to be completely different from him, became friends with him Cao Cao became friends of life and death.
"Well, Ben, I'll help you, as before."
Yuan Shao looked very happy, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said, "It's the same as before!" Let's go, without further ado, you and I will quickly go to the barracks to reorganize the army and rush to the palace! β
β¦β¦
"General, attack the palace...... Think again? β
I don't care about Yuan Shu's anger, the family members are fine, but Hu Benlang's side can be fried, and the hatred for Ma Yue to kill the general He Jin is far less than their fear of the palace, this is the most mysterious place of the Han Dynasty, is it the attack that these ordinary people say to attack?
"The generals were all killed by Ma Yue, and you are still indifferent?" Yuan Shu glared, pointed at the tower on the palace wall with a knife and shouted: "What he fought was the idea that you didn't dare to storm the palace, the more this is the case, the more we can't get used to him, the general said kill him, so is there still a royal law?" β
As soon as he said the word Wang Fa, Yuan Shu felt a little embarrassed, and he no longer reprimanded Hu Benlang, the general's sword was inserted on the ground, frowning and looking at the palace wall hundreds of steps away, muttering to himself: "This Ma Yue is brave and brave, and there are some veteran ruffians under his hands, so I have to wait for Captain Ji to come over and attack it, well......"
Pinching his chin, Yuan Shu beckoned, called a soldier to his ear and asked, "When will Captain Ji arrive?" β
"Hui Gongzi, Captain Ji Du and Captain Chun Yu are all preparing armor in the arsenal, and it's almost time to come."
Yuan Shu nodded, patted the shoulder of the soldier and asked him to go to the other two doors to investigate the situation, he wanted to take the lead and attack the palace first, but there was no reassuring vanguard by his side at the moment, he would rather wait a little longer.
Just thinking about estimating that he would have to wait for a while, he felt the ground under his feet shake slightly, and then Yuan Shu turned around, overjoyed.
On the royal road, Ji Ling and Chun Yuqiong led the neatly lined up Gyeonggi Patrol Army and the soldiers of the Xiyuan Right Captain's Department to run quickly, and the black pressure was tied with a white cloth on their heads, shouting 'Revenge for the General' and marched towards the palace gate.
"You're here, look at this! Good, brethren! Copy all the guys for me and avenge the general! Seeing that Hu Benlang, who was holding the canister of oil, did not dare to move, Yuan Shu grabbed it in his arms, relied on his iron armor and was not afraid of arrows, and shouted to his subordinates with one arm in front of his face: "Lao Tzu spares his life, what the hell are you afraid of?" All of them rushed with Lao Tzu, killing Ma Yue, a bastard, to avenge the general! β
Yuan Shu shouted, and the tiger benlangs who were resting in the house next to him also put on their weapons and rushed out, this group of people from various families were from various families, wearing armor and holding oil cans and followed Yuan Shu to the palace wall.
Although their charging queue seems to Yan Xing on the city tower to be full of loopholes, but this is not an infantry field, they are attacking the city, Yan Xing can only use a bow and crossbow, Yan Xing can hear Yuan Shu's shout in his throat from a distance, and Yan Xing was also anxious when he took the lead in rushing to the city gate with a jar, and picked up the riding bow with a fist on the palace wall and shouted: "This dog burns the city gate, and the sons of the northern army shoot Lao Tzu to death!" β
Yan Xing clearly knew that if this kind of battle was not the first to attack as a commander, the people below would not dare to make a dead hand, Yuan Shu was like this, how could he Yan Yanming not be like this? At that moment, Zhang Bow shot an arrow towards Yuan Shu at the forefront, he was at ease with his archery, and even more at ease with his bow, he was the same as the main male horse Yue, and he took a fierce road with one force to ten meetings, even this bow is a two-stone strong attack better than the general hand crossbow, and an arrow is dead if it is hit!
The Changshui army around him saw that the main generals were so ruthless, who didn't know if it was the second son of the gate lord Yuan's clan at the bottom, or if they shot it with an arrow, what else was there to be afraid of, and at the moment the strong bow and crossbow beckoned down one by one.
Yan Xing's sharp arrow shot towards Yuan Shu's chest, Yuan Shu only heard a 'bang', his chest shook, his crazy face was full of fear all of a sudden, his steps stopped, and an inch-long iron arrow almost pierced through the armor.
That is, in the time of a breath, Yuan Shu's face turned into ecstasy, ignoring the arrows in the sky, he raised his head and showed a hideous smile towards the city, snapped the arrow on his chest, and slammed the canister of fire oil in his hand towards the city gate.
opened the city gate arsenal, and each of the Yuan children wore double layers of iron armor, damn it, it was right!
