The breeze was blowing, the sun was shining, and Lin Nan's face was as bright as a flower. He took Huang Zhong's hand and walked to Wen Ping, Chen Zhi and Wei Yan, who were still in a coma, and looked at these three young men, and his heart was really overjoyed.

"Zhongye, Shuzhi, from now on, we will be attached to General Lin's account, you come and meet the lord!" Huang Zhong is virtuous and capable, and recommends his subordinates Wen Ping and Chen Zhi as generals, but this bearing is quite an elder demeanor.

Wen Ping is only seventeen years old, Chen Zhi is only eighteen years old, since the two young people have followed Huang Zhong, they have shown their skills, and Huang Zhong was exceptionally promoted to military marquis, Huang Zhong has the grace of knowing them. In such an era of love and righteousness, the grace of knowing can almost be compared to the grace of saving lives. Therefore, after the two of them heard Huang Zhong's words, they immediately bowed to Lin Nan and said, "The subordinates see the lord." ”

Lin Nan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, although he lost the first opportunity to enter Luoyang City today, he unexpectedly got the three generals Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, and Chen Zhi, and he had nothing to regret.

The veteran Huang Zhong naturally doesn't need to mention it, there is nothing that anyone who has seen the Three Kingdoms doesn't know. Wen Ping can also be called an outstanding general, who has been under Liu Biao's account, knowing that Cao Cao went south to annex Jingzhou, so he was attached to Cao Cao.

Chen Zhi is not mentioned in the Luo Three Kingdoms, but for Lin Nan, who is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Zhi is naturally no stranger. Chen Zhi only appeared in the official history, when Liu Bei was the pastor of Yuzhou, he went to take refuge with Liu Bei, and later served as Liu Bei's escort with Zhao Yun, and jointly led Liu Bei's elite white-eared soldiers. This person's strength can be compared with Zhao Yun, after the founding of Shu Han, he has been leading his troops to guard Yong'an and defend the east gate of Shu Han. is such a character, Luo Guanzhong actually missed him when he wrote the Three Kingdoms. It really wiped out an outstanding general.

After carefully looking at Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, and Chen Dao, Lin Nan glanced at Wei Yan, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and hurriedly walked over, squatted down, looked at Wei Yan, who had been bandaged like a mummy, and hurriedly asked, "How is Wei Yan's injury?" ”

Chen Zhi replied: "Don't worry, lord. It was just some skin trauma, but it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, it seems that Lu Bu wanted to torture him to death little by little. ”

Wei Yan is also a generation of famous generals, Lin Nan is also very optimistic about him, seeing that Wei Yan is only about twenty years old, he turned his head to Huang Zhong and said: "Old general, Wei Yan is unconscious, although his injuries are not serious, but he can't withstand too many bumps. I left a hundred cavalry for the old general, and the troublesome veteran took them and the wounded Wei Yan slowly in the direction of Luoyang. Now that Dong Zhuo has been defeated, the prestige of the coalition army is great, and there are still many people in Luoyang City, I am afraid of ......"

"Although the lord is relieved to go, there is no need to keep people, there are three people, the old man, Shu Zhi, and Zhongye to take care of Wei Yan. Although Wei Yan was Yuan Shu's subordinate, Yuan Shu didn't even ask whether he was alive or dead. This kind of person is not worth Wei Yan's life for him at all. Wei Yan is also a great general, and when he wakes up. The old man must persuade him to join the lord. ”

"In the wilderness here, it is inevitable that there will be remnants of the Xiliang soldiers, and if no one is left, I don't worry." Lin Nan looked at the surrounding environment, still a little uneasy in his heart, and immediately shouted at Zhao Yun who was not far away. "Zilong!"

Zhao Yun was waiting there, and when he heard Lin Nan calling him, he turned over and dismounted, walked over quickly, and said with his fists clenched: "What does the lord command?" ”

"Leave three hundred cavalry. Under the command of the old general, you, Ziyi, and the military advisor led the rest of the people to Luoyang City with me, and I still have a very important thing to do. ”

After Zhao Yun said "promise", he immediately turned around and arranged for people to go, leaving three tun chiefs, each leading a tun of brothers, and letting them obey Huang Zhong's command.

Lin Nan also exchanged a few words of greeting with Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, and Chen Zhi, and then turned on his horse and quickly headed towards Luoyang with Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Jia Xu and the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry.

After the army left, Huang Zhong turned around and said with a smile to Wen Ping and Chen Zhi: "The old man has read countless people in his life, and it is the first time he has seen such a vigorous and resolute character, and the lord talks extraordinary, and he is also courteous to us, and he is much more generous than Liu Biao. ”

Wen Ping frowned at this time and asked, "My lord, let's leave like this, how should Liu Biao explain it?" ”

Chen Zhi said sharply: "Liu Biao is nepotistic, the Cai family controls the power of Jingzhou, Huang Zu is Liu Biao's best friend, and the adults are squeezed out by Cai Mao and Huang Zu. ”

Huang Zhong said: "Having said that, but after all, the old man used to be a general under Liu Biao's account, and Liu Biao is not thin on the old man, if he leaves without saying a word, I am afraid that he will be scolded by others for being an unrighteous person." However, General Lin is a man of great talent, and when he first saw the old man, he wholeheartedly invited us, and directly appointed us as generals, such a lord and old man could not bear to give up. In this way, when he arrives in Luoyang, the old man can write a letter and ask people to send it to Liu Biao, which can be regarded as giving Liu Biao an explanation. ”

Chen Zhi and Wen Ping both felt that what Huang Zhong said was very reasonable, so they both nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Wei Yan, who had been unconscious, suddenly coughed, slowly opened his eyes, and saw an old man with a white beard standing in front of him, squirmed his lips, and asked softly, "Am I dead?" ”

"Dead? It's still early. Huang Zhong squatted down and saw that Wei Yan had woken up, so he hurriedly comforted, "Lie down well, don't move, you are injured all over your body, although it is not a big problem, but you have lost too much blood and need to recuperate." ”

Wei Yan's vision gradually became clearer, and when he saw Huang Zhong's face, he remembered the person who rescued him from under Lu Bu's halberd, and immediately asked, "Is it you...... Are you Huang Zhong of Nanyang? ”

"Well, the old man is Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng."

Wei Yan coughed a few more times, trying to sit up, but found that his whole body was tied, and the pain caused by the wounds on his body made him unable to move, so he could only lie on the ground, and said weakly: "Old General Huang, thank you for saving me......"

"It's hard work, why worry about it." Huang Zhong's face was kind. The elder's demeanor resurfaced, always giving people a sense of serenity, and asked casually, "Wei Xiaoyou, Yuan Shu has already left with his soldiers and horses, and he doesn't seem to care about your life or death." I don't think you should be stupid to follow Yuan Shu, that kind of person is not worth your life for him. You have the talent of a general, and my lord is a person who loves talents, why don't you serve under the account of my lord? ”

"It's Liu ...... Liu Biao? Wei Yan had the impression that Huang Zhong was Liu Biao's subordinate, so he asked.

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "That's all in the past, my current lord is the general of Zhenbei and the Taishou of Liaodong Lin Nan, are you willing to serve under my lord's account?" ”

"The old general has a life-saving grace for me, as long as it is what the old general says. I, Wei Yan, should obey, and I have heard of General Lin's name for a long time, and I wanted to take refuge in the morning, but I hated that we were too far away and the road was impassable, so I could only temporarily condescend to Yuan Shu's tent. It's just that I don't know if General Lin is willing to take me in? ”

Huang Zhong smiled: "Don't worry, the lord has already spoken." Let us take care of you, and the lord has the heart to let you go to the tent. It's just that you passed out at that time. ”

Wei Yan said happily: "Really? That's great...... cough cough cough ......"

Then Huang Zhong and the others rested for a while, and then slowly drove towards Luoyang with Wen Ping, Chen Dao, Wei Yan and three hundred cavalry.

At the same time, in the area of five miles outside Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo arranged the last line of defense in order to escape, and let Han Sui and Guo Yan lead troops to intercept it. He was escorted by his younger brothers Dong Min and Ma Teng and fled westward, and he didn't even have time to enter Luoyang City.

Sun Jian's division in the coalition army was the first, and more than half of the 1,000 cavalry were killed and wounded, but they still rushed to the front, but because the troops were too weak. Soon he was surrounded by Guo Yan, if it wasn't for Lu Bu leading the state soldiers to arrive in time, it is estimated that Sun Jian would have been wiped out. Ji Ling of Yuan Shujun, Yan Liang of Yuan Shaojun, and Gan Ning of Liu Biaojun all came in pursuit with their respective subordinates, and after a fierce attack, the high-morale coalition army broke through Guo Yan's defense, and Guo Yan himself was beheaded by Sun Jian in the chaos.

Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Liu Xuan, Yuan Yi, Kong Yi and others followed the vanguard of the front army with their subordinates, and saw with their own eyes that the Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu was like a tiger and wolf wreaking havoc among the Xiliang soldiers, and the Xiliang soldiers who killed were crying and shouting for their mothers, everyone was frightened, and the limelight suddenly covered the other soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shu looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking that he had provoked Lu Bu just now, if it wasn't for Wei Yan blocking him, he would have died a long time ago, and now seeing that the soldiers of Hezhou were so bloodthirsty and able to fight well, they all felt a little afraid.

Liu Biao also pinched a cold sweat on his forehead, he was secretly glad that fortunately Zhang Yun did not do what he told at that time, otherwise, if he really got into trouble with the Bingzhou soldiers, his tens of thousands of horses would definitely be harmed by Lu Bu's thousands of cavalry. Seeing Lu Bujun's bravery, Liu Biao thought in his heart: "I will never mess with Lu Bu again in the future......"

The soldiers and horses brought by Han Sui can be described as a new force, a little stronger than Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, 20,000 cavalry in the shape of arrows in the suburbs, and the cavalry rushed towards the coalition army in waves, trying to make the last resistance.

The fierce battle was fought outside Luoyang City, and the men and horses on both sides were killed in the dark.

After a while, Lin Nan led the soldiers and horses to catch up, and saw Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others watching the battle there with a large army, and only used a small part of the troops to meet Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, he angrily rushed to Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others with his subordinates, pointed to the chaotic battlefield in front of him, and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo is in front of you, and Luoyang is also close at hand, but you only sent a small number of people to participate in the battle, and the army is stagnant, what is the reason?" ”

"You know what? It's called throwing stones and asking for directions! Yuan Shu glanced at Lin Nan and said coldly.

Lin Nan saw the indifference on the faces of Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others, and they all stood behind and looked at the cavalry fighting bloodily in front of them, so he said loudly: "Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers are already panicked, if we are now in full swing and rush up, we will definitely be able to completely defeat the Xiliang soldiers, you ...... with me."

"The courage of the horseman!" Yuan Shu sneered, with an extremely contemptuous look in his eyes.

Lin Nan hurriedly glanced at the subordinates of Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others, and saw that most of the people standing there in a neat line were infantrymen, and they could not find any cavalry except for the more than 100 cavalry guarding them, so he suddenly realized. He himself led all the cavalry, while Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others were mainly infantry, and in the entire coalition army, except for Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers and the Youzhou soldiers he led, the rest of the soldiers and horses, cavalry can have 5,000 people. It's already a great combat power.

He saw that Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others were indifferent, and the battle in front was particularly fierce, although the cavalry of the coalition army had the upper hand, but after all, the number was too small, except for Lu Bu's cavalry, the rest of the troops were left with hundreds of cavalry. If you don't get reinforcements, you won't be able to survive at all.

He thought about it calmly, although he didn't want his subordinates to be damaged again, but judging from the current form, he still had the hope of being the first to enter Luoyang City. He rode his horse back to his own camp and said to Jia Xu: "Military Division, judging from the current situation, if our army is the first to rush into Luoyang City, will that incident achieve the desired purpose?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a moment. Looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, he said slowly: "Now that all the soldiers and horses have arrived, although the rest of the people are not willing to fight with all their might, they are also unwilling to see a family sit big. The reason why Yuan Shu and Liu Biao did not send troops was nothing more than to consume Lu Bu's troops, and now the soldiers on the battlefield were very active, and the rest of the men and horses were reluctant to fight because of too few troops. If the lord leads his troops to kill at this time, although he can be the first to rush into Luoyang City. But the result will also bring opportunities to Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others. Lu Buzhi is in Dong Zhuo, which is different from our purpose. However, if the lord wants to control the entire palace, it is impossible to look at it in this way. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "The lord wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but it is not necessarily that others do not have this idea, if only one or two soldiers and horses enter the city." It's a very easy thing to do. But now Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, Yuan Yi, Kong Yi, Sun Jian, Lu Bu, and even Yuan Shao have also sent Yan Liang to get a piece of the pie, this matter will definitely not be done so lightly, and if it is not good, it will be accused of rebellion. ”

After Lin Nan heard this, he sighed and said, "There are more monks and less porridge." This matter is not planned in detail enough, otherwise, if the Son of Heaven is blackmailed to order the princes, who in the world would dare not obey? ”

Jia Xu said: "My lord, in fact, I don't really agree with the subordinates of the princes by coercing the Son of Heaven......."

Lin Nan wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes from the beginning, because he didn't want to cheapen Cao Cao, and he hastily formulated this strategy without even discussing it with Jia Xu and Xun You. At this time, when he heard Jia Xu's objections, he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord can think about it, our army brought only 10,000 cavalry, and now there are only more than 8,000 people left, and there are many people among the princes who have tens of thousands of troops. ”

"And what about the second one?" After Lin Nan heard this, he felt that it made some sense, so he asked.

Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "The lord is Liaodong Taishou, although now he has the strength to occupy the entire Youzhou, but Youzhou is located in a remote area, and the north is connected to Waiyi, since ancient times, most of the emperors of the world must be in the Central Plains, Chang'an, Luoyang have natural dangers to defend, if the lord wants to bring the Son of Heaven to Youzhou, he will inevitably be opposed by the ministers." Luoyang is full of flowers, and Youzhou is a bitter cold place, just ask those princes and ministers, which one is willing to go to that place? ”

After Lin Nan listened to Jia Xu's words, he also fell into deep thought. Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is indeed a good political strategy, but behind this, there are too many difficulties hidden.

"Third, although the Han Dynasty is about to fall, it has not yet reached the time of collapse, Dong Zhuo dominates the dynasty and attracts the Kwantung Coalition Army, which shows that many people are still towards the Han Dynasty. Although it is a very good strategy to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the time is not yet ripe, if he is forced, he is afraid that he will follow Dong Zhuo's old path, and his subordinates implore the lord to dispel this idea. Jia Xu said very sincerely.

"You're right, I was too hasty. If you disagree, why didn't you just say it in the first place? Lin Nan asked.

Jia Xu said: "At the beginning, the lord was eager to promote this matter, and if his subordinates raised objections, it would provoke the lord's anger and scolding, so it was better to stop it at the right time." If the lord has already arrived in Luoyang at this time, and he also wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, even if his subordinates don't want to give up this life, they must stop the lord's self-digging behavior. Besides, the lord is a smart man, and after hearing the explanation of his subordinates, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing. ”

"Hahaha...... Having someone like you by my side is really a blessing for me Lin Nan. Then let's sit here and watch the tiger fight, and when the coalition forces enter the city, we will also go in with us and share the credit. ”

"Nope! The lord should now immediately send troops to fight for the first entry into Luoyang City. Jia Xu suddenly said an opinion that was different from Lin Nan, and he was still firm. There is quite a momentum that you will die to show you if you don't follow me.

Lin Nan frowned and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Now that the lord has given up the plan to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he should put his mind on another matter. Once the coalition forces enter Luoyang City, although our army can guarantee that it will not loot the people in the city, it is difficult to guarantee that other armies will not. Luoyang is full of flowers and abundant materials. Once the other armies could not resist the temptation of this wealth, they would inevitably plunder, and the people in Luoyang City would also be harmed. Such a thing will inevitably happen in the city, and the lord should now try to enter the city as much as possible, first control the gates of the inner city, and divide his troops to guard the various city gates, so as to prevent this kind of thing from happening. ”

"Well, you're right, there are twelve gates outside Luoyang. There are eight inner city gates, and if the troops are divided to guard the eight gates of the inner city, it is enough to resist the entry of the rebels. Lin Nan said to himself, "Okay, then we'll set off now, but we have to go around to the north gate and follow me." ”

At the sound of an order, Lin Nan and all the cavalry under his command began to turn to the north gate.

Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and the others saw that Lin Nan suddenly returned the same way. I don't know what Lin Nanjun is famous for, and they don't care. Just watched the battle there, waiting for news from the front army.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Nan retreated a few miles one after another, and then went around to the north gate of Luoyang. He had been in Luoyang before, and he was also very familiar with Luoyang City, compared to the other three gates. There are only two outer city gates at the north gate, and the north gate is close to the north palace, and once you enter the north gate, you can control the north palace. He knew very well in his heart that although he could not coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. But it is still necessary to show loyalty in front of the emperor, maybe the emperor will directly seal him as a Youzhou pastor when he is happy, and he won't have to work so hard to get rid of Liu Yu.

Among the twelve outer city gates in Luoyang, the Daxia Gate is the largest, with three door openings, and the other gates have only one door opening. Daxia Gate is the city gate of Luoyang north, close to the North Palace, and it is magnificent and magnificent. And there is the most famous gold market in Luoyang near the north gate, once you enter the north gate, not only can you quickly control the north palace where the emperor is located, but even the gold market can be occupied, and it is also necessary to blackmail the rich gentry of Luoyang.

Lin Nan had already inquired about the news, Dong Zhuo, under the escort of Ma Teng and Dong Min, did not enter Luoyang at all, and now the troops in Luoyang City are only 10,000 under the captain of the city gate, and they are still scattered in the twelve city gates, and the troops are too scattered. In addition, many princes and ministers in the city have long been angry with Dong Zhuo, and once they learned that the coalition army had arrived under Luoyang City, they would not rise up to resist.

Soon, Lin Nan galloped to the north gate of Luoyang with more than 2,000 horsemen and came to the Great Xia Gate.

There were a few soldiers stationed on the tower of the Great Xia Gate, these soldiers were all the subordinates of the captain of the city gate, and as soon as they saw Lin Nan's army, they began to panic in their hearts.

"I am the general of Zhenbei, the marquis of Liaodong, and the Taishou of Liaodong Linnan, Dong Zhuo's general trend has gone, and all the soldiers of Xiliang have been strangled, quickly open the city gate, and when my army arrives, I will spare you from death!" Lin Nan still reported his name first as always, he was used to such words, in this era when you can have a good job just by fame, the greater a person's reputation, the more respect and awe others will have for him.

When the soldiers on the Daxia Gate heard Lin Nan's name, everyone's faces showed a joy, they were all rich gentry and children of families in the capital, and they usually didn't have anything to do, they knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and occasionally worked as an errand, and even their salaries were many times higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

I saw that surrounded by soldiers, a monkey spirit soldier stood up with a panicked face, saw the strong soldiers and horses under the city gate, and saw Lin Nan wrapped in a bandage on his face, only showing two eyes and two lips, and couldn't help but tremble and replied: "Are you really General Lin?" I've seen General Lin before, and it's not like you at all......"

During the period when Lin Nan was in Luoyang, it was also when he was most famous in Luoyang, because he killed the Ten Standing Servants, and no one in the entire Luoyang City knew about it. At this time, when the military Sima heard that the person below reported that it was Lin Nan, he showed his head and looked, but he saw a face of bandages, and he naturally couldn't believe that this was Lin Nan.

"Bold! My lord is genuine, a manly man, if he doesn't change his name, he won't change his surname......" Tai Shici moved the halberd in his hand with an angry face, and shouted loudly, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

Lin Nan sneered and casually untied the bandages wrapped around his face. Revealing his true face, he shouted at the people on the city tower: "I am Lin Nan, if you want to live, open the city gate quickly!" ”

Seeing Lin Nan's face exposed, the monkey spirit's military Sima stretched his neck and looked down. Blinking his eyes, he said with a smile: "It's true, it's true, it's really General Lin, quickly open the city gate and let General Lin enter the city!" ”

Lin Nan re-wrapped the bandage on his face, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, he thought it would take a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect him to win the city gate with just one face. The issue of face is also big and small in this era.

Jia Xu whispered: "Lord, it seems that you can directly occupy Luoyang, if you divide your troops to occupy the twelve city gates, plus the original guards in the city, as well as the tiger armor and Yu Linlang who are stranded in the palace, it is enough to stop the rebellious soldiers from causing trouble." ”

Lin Nan nodded, and then said: "Not only that, but also encourage the princes and ministers in the city to lead the generals and family members to be responsible for defending the city, and Luoyang City will inherit it for a hundred years." Standing majestically here, it must not be destroyed by the coalition forces after Dong Zhuo is gone. With such a strong city, inviting the emperor will definitely be able to deter the world's heroes. ”

As he spoke, the gate of the Great Xia Gate was opened, and the long, lean military horse wore a silver helmet and a silver armor and rode a horse. He walked out with his subordinates and lined up on both sides of the city gate, waiting for Lin Nan to enter the city.

"The subordinate officer Sun You, see General Lin." As soon as the monkey spirit's military Sima rode his horse, he ran in front of Lin Nan, and immediately turned over and dismounted. Hurriedly bowed.

Lin Nan saw that this man named Shi Sun You had the air of a son of a family, a small military horse, wearing all-silver armor, and in terms of the fineness of workmanship, he was also very elegant. He knew that Luoyang was a prosperous place, and there were countless rich people. As soon as I think of the countless amounts of money collected by Dong Zhuo in driving the rich gentry and bureaucrats of Luoyang to Chang'an in history, we can imagine how rich the people in Luoyang were.

"Your name is Shisun You?" Lin Nan asked very calmly.

Shi Sun You nodded, and said with a smile: "It's Xia Guan." ”

"Who are you?"

Shi Sun You hurriedly said: "Does the general also know my father?" ”

"Hmm...... I saw one or two times when I was in the General's Mansion, but I didn't expect you to be his son, no wonder a little military Sima wore a silver armor? Lin Nan's words were full of sarcasm, he knew that Shisun Rui was the capital of Luoyang, and he would go out with tens of millions of dollars casually, and He Jin opened a Baiyun Pavilion at the beginning, and more than half of it was invested by Shisun Rui.

Shi Sun You heard the displeasure in Lin Nan's words, glanced at the iron armor that Lin Nan was wearing, with a lot of dust, his eyes were boneless, and he hurriedly said: "Since the general knows his father, then this is easy to do." Xia Guan saw that the general was mighty and heroic, and there was an air of great wealth and nobility all over his body. When the general arrived in Luoyang, the lower officials failed to get acquainted, but secretly watched from a distance. The subordinate also admires the loyalty of the general, just like the surging Yellow River, which is out of control......"

Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust in his heart when he heard Shisun You slapping him endlessly, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let me ask you, what is your relationship with the captain of the city gate?" ”

"Uh...... The captain of the city gate was appointed by Dong Zhuo, and I am dedicated to the general, so I am not very dealing. Shisun You's mind was bright, and as soon as he heard Lin Nan ask this, he hurriedly said, "As long as the general gives an order, the lower official will present the head of the captain of the city gate to the general." ”

Lin Nan saw that this scholar Sun You's mind was very flexible, and he actually guessed what he meant, so he said: "As long as you kill the captain of the city gate and control the soldiers stationed at the city gate, I will show you as the captain of the school in front of Your Majesty, your father worked hard to make money to the court, and he never asked for the identity of a businessman, and invested hundreds of millions, but only got the official of Shangshu Servant, as long as you are willing to listen to me, I will not only make you a high-ranking official, but also let your father rank as the third duke, this is a blessing that your Shisun family can't cultivate for several lifetimes, What do you think? ”

As soon as Shi Sun You heard this, he immediately shook his spirits, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "General Lin is benevolent and righteous, the lower officials dare not serve, General Lin, please enter the city, the captain of the city gate is my good brother, I have long wanted to kill the captain of the city gate, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo in power, I ......"

"Okay, okay, it's important to get down to business. I will send you some cavalry, and after killing the captain of the city gate, you will immediately send your men in my name to the streets and alleys of the city, and the princes and nobles. The rich gentry of the family must be notified in place, so that they can organize their own generals and family members to defend the city gates, and no one can open the city gates without my orders, if there are anyone who opens the city gates without authorization. Luoyang City will be destroyed in one fell swoop, this matter is very important, you know? Lin Nan said to Shisun You very urgently.

Shi Sun You had long wanted to do something big with a bang, so he immediately clenched his fists and said: "General Lin's orders, I will never give up, I will go and inform everyone." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Nan said to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici: "The two of you will divide the troops into twelve songs, each with two hundred people, and scatter them near the twelve city gates. The rest of the people came with me, went to the North Palace, and met His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"No!"

After the order was given, Lin Nan led people into the Great Xia Gate, and then closed the city gate, each song was led by their military marquis, with them as the leader, and the soldiers of the city gate captain as the auxiliary. Garrisoned at the twelve gates of Luoyang. Shisun You also sent twelve relatives to follow Lin Nan's subordinates to the various city gates. The soldiers guarding the city gate don't know Shisun You, that is their God of Wealth, and they don't get any benefits from Shi Sun You's hands on weekdays, although they ostensibly obey the captain of the city gate, but they actually obey Shi Sun You.

After separating, Lin Nan and Jia Xu went straight to the North Palace with the remaining three hundred cavalry.

"My lord. Shisun You is a rich gentleman's son, such a person accomplishes anything so important, in case something goes wrong......" Jia Xu said with a hint of worry on his face.

Lin Nan knew in his heart that Shisun You's family had been a businessman for three generations. In this era, the hierarchical status system of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants is deeply rooted, and the status of merchants is not as good as that of ordinary peasants.

Seeing that Jia Xu was worried, he smiled and said: "The military advisor can rest assured, although Shisun You is the son of a rich gentry, he is bent on getting rid of the identity of a businessman, for such a person, there is nothing more attractive than an official position." Besides, the influence of the Shisun family in Luoyang is very large, and everyone in Luoyang City knows about it, and it is the most suitable person to use them to spread the word to those princes and ministers. Now we just need to go to the North Palace to control the emperor, and then deter the heroes. ”

Jia Xu said: "Well, my subordinates understand. ”

Galloping non-stop to the White Tiger Gate of the North Palace, Lin Nan saw from a distance that the palace maids and eunuchs of the North Palace kept pouring out of the palace, and the army of the guard in charge of guarding it had long since lost its whereabouts. He immediately came to the White Tiger Gate of the North Palace with his soldiers, and opened the cavalry in a row, blocking the palace gate. When those palace maids and eunuchs saw that a soldier was coming, they all looked very frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Lin Nan rode his horse to the side of a eunuch, pointed at the eunuch and asked, "What happened?" Where's the Guard? Where are the Tiger Ben Armor and Yu Lin Lang? ”

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "As soon as Lord Weiwei, Hu Ben Jiashi, and Yu Linlang heard that the coalition army was coming, they received the order of Taishi Dong, so they escorted His Majesty Xià out of the North Palace early, and they went out of the West Gate as early as an hour ago......

"! The emperor ran away? This damn Dong Zhuo! ”

Jia Xu galloped over and hurriedly asked: "Lord, the top priority now is to control the city gate, and try to invite the third prince with a relatively high reputation out of the city gate, otherwise, once Han Sui also retreats, the coalition army is forced to Luoyang City, and it is really a siege, it will be bad." ”

Lin Nan nodded, no longer cared about those palace maids and eunuchs, turned the horse's head, and was about to leave, but heard someone behind him shouting "General Lin". He turned around, searched around, and saw a person in the crowd who couldn't be more familiar, it was actually Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng was dressed very gorgeously at this time, and when he looked at the costume, he knew that he was already a high-ranking official in the middle of the waiter, and he shouted while shuttling out of the crowd: "General Lin...... General Lin ......"

Finally ran to Lin Nan's side, knelt on the ground, and said with a happy face: "It's great to see General Lin again, General Lin, I ......"

"Aren't you Dong Zhuo's person, why didn't you go with Dong Zhuo?" Lin Nan was a little disdainful.

Zuo Feng hurriedly said: "Wronged, I am the general's person, and my heart has always been towards the general." General, I have a treasure to dedicate to the general......"

"You? What treasures can you have? ”

Zuo Feng smiled on his face, and hurriedly made a lip shape, but he didn't make a sound, he saw that Lin Nan didn't understand, so he lip synced three times in a row, and the last time he deliberately released a "west" sound.

Lin Nan watched it several times in a row, and then heard Zuo Feng say a "west" sound, his mind quickly turned, and he hurriedly asked, "The baby you said is a jade ......"

Only halfway through his words, he hurriedly stopped, rode his horse to Zuo Feng's side, and asked, "Where is the baby you said?" Take me there! ”

Zuo Feng said resignedly: "Please come with me!" ”

Lin Nan followed Zuo Feng, and took Jia Xu and three hundred cavalry from the White Tiger Gate straight into the North Palace, and no one dared to stop the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides. After Lin Nan and the others left, these palace maids and eunuchs threw out of the North Palace one after another, and in order to escape for their lives, they only carried some belongings with them, and some stole some valuable things from the palace.

Zuo Feng took Lin Nan to his residence, pointed to a well on the ground, and said with a smile: "General Lin, that treasure is in this well, His Majesty was taken away by Dong Thief's people, and he was in such a hurry that he even forgot about this." I knew that General Lin would inevitably lead the soldiers here, so I hid the treasure and waited to be presented to the general. ”

"Well, don't talk nonsense, go down and get the baby up!" After Lin Nan heard Zuo Feng's explanation of current affairs, he glared at Zuo Feng and said loudly.

Zuo Feng's face was stunned, and he unconsciously took two steps back, raised his hand and pointed at himself and said, "I...... I'm going to go down and fish? ”

Lin Nan sneered: "It's not you, is it still that I can't go down to fish?" ”

"But...... But I don't know water, and this well is very deep......" Zuo Feng glanced at the soldiers behind Lin Nan when he spoke, and the meaning was self-evident.

The soldiers behind Lin Nan understood, just rolled up their sleeves, and were about to step forward, but saw Lin Nan directly stretched out his hand to stop him, stared at Zuo Feng with two round eyes, and shouted: "Go down and catch it!" ”

Zuo Feng had no choice but to go down the well, he sat on the edge of the well, looked at the deep well below that was deep and cold, couldn't help but shiver, raised his head, and looked at Lin Nan pitifully: "General, this well is too deep, the baby is tied to the horizontal wood floating in the well by me, as long as you fish up the rope along the horizontal log, I ......"

"Less nonsense, do you catch it?" Lin Nan saw that Zuo Feng was still poor, so he said angrily.

"Fish! I'm fishing, I didn't say no! Zuo Feng saw that Lin Nan was angry, so he hurriedly said.

At this time, a soldier had already brought a rope from the side and wrapped Zuo Feng around his waist.

Zuo Feng was afraid that something would go wrong, so he made the soldier tighten up, but the soldier's hand was too strong, and he screamed with force.

Finally wrapped up properly, Zuo Feng sat on the edge of the well again, looked at the person pulling the rope and said, "Little brother, you have to hold it." ”

After Zuo Feng was put into the well little by little, he quickly took down the treasure he had hidden with his own hands, and shouted at the top: "General, the baby is here, pull me up." (To be continued......)
