He entered the mansion to Peng Wang Kuang, cavalry captain Bao Xin recruited troops back to Beijing, and the state assassinated Shi Ding Yuan, and the tiger Ben Zhonglang general Yuan Shu has been stationed on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo, the former general, the Marquis of Aoxiang, and the pastor of Bingzhou, also led the troops on the way to Luoyang. Heroes from all over the world gathered in Luoyang, and the situation became dangerous. Seeing that the powerful men from other places were stationed in the suburbs of Luoyang, He entered the Changle Palace, told the Empress Dowager He, and asked to kill all the Zhongchang attendants.

Zhang Rang and Duan discussed: "The general He Jin claimed to be sick, did not participate in the funeral of the first emperor, and did not send the funeral to the cemetery, but now he suddenly entered the palace, what is his intention?" Could it be that the Dou Wu incident is going to be repeated? ”

He sent someone to eavesdrop on the conversation between He Jin's siblings and learned the entire conversation. So he led dozens of his henchmen, armed with weapons, secretly entered through the side door and ambushed under the temple gate.

Yuan Xi knew about He Jin's killing, and after thinking about it again, he decided to tell Yuan Shao and let him prepare early.

In the shogunate of the Chinese army, Yuan Xi said to Yuan Shao after retreating: "Zhang Rang and others conspired to get the general into the palace and kill him. ”

"Where did you get the news of this, and is it reliable?" Yuan Shao was a little shocked. Yuan Shao is not easy to fool.

"It was the news from the last time that little eunuch risked his death." Yuan Xi had no choice but to say this.

Although Yuan Shao hesitated, he was still a little hesitant, and Xu Yu Guotu was sent and told the two of them about the matter.

Guo Tu said with some understanding: "Does Yuan Gong want to borrow Zhang Rang's hand to get rid of the general and then kill the eunuchs together?" ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "What do the two gentlemen think?" ”

Xu You said: "Because of the Empress Dowager Dong, the He family has lost the hearts of the people, and it is good to take the opportunity to get rid of it, but the name of this general is gone, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to subdue the generals from other places, so I will not instigate the generals to gather heroes from other places to enter Beijing." ”

This is to use the general's power to order the heroes, and his father Yuan Shao didn't know how to use it, but later the matter was shelved for a reason.

Guo Tu retorted: "If you don't summon soldiers and horses from other places to enter Beijing, how can the general turn his face to the Ten Standing Servants?" ”

At the end of the matter, Yuan Shao was also a little anxious, "Not to mention Yuan Highway, Bao Xin, Wang Kuang and others, even the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan may not all be ordered by me, like Meng De, who is also opposed to summoning troops and horses from other places into Beijing." ”

Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and said: "The general is dead, and he led the people and horses of the headquarters to kill the ten permanent servants, Chun Yuqiong and Yan Liang assisted from the side, and sent henchmen to collect the rest of the Xiyuan soldiers and horses except Meng De, as long as the palace and Luoyang are controlled, those soldiers and horses in the city will not dare to attack the Beijing division at the risk of the world's disapproval, and it will become impossible to make trouble." ”

Yuan Shao approvingly: "I think it's feasible, so I'll do it according to the order." "Gather your henchmen to discuss specific matters at the moment.

Yuan Xi thought to himself, the plan seemed feasible, but he ignored the ambition and strength of that demon king Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was still quite capable at this time, similar to Wang Dun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Guanxi Army was a perennial army of tigers and wolves. It's not comparable to these young masters in the capital.

His soldiers and horses are all elites who have gone through the border battles, how can they be compared to these generals and soldiers in the capital who lack actual combat.

It seems that the soldiers and horses in Xiyuan that were incorporated this time are Yuan Shao's capital, and he must take the opportunity to master even a small group of people.

At night, Yuan's house

Father Yuan Shao said quietly; "Xianyi, you come in."

"Yes, father," Yuan Xi replied and hurriedly walked in. Yuan Xi replied, "I don't know what happened to my father calling the child." ”

Yuan Shao stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly; "Xianyi, you have heard what we said today, you are the Qiliner of my Yuan family, you have been smart since childhood, and you will draw inferences from one another, and today I will test your ......... as a father."

He paused and said; "In your opinion, how shall I decide what will happen tonight?"

Yuan Xi's heart beat wildly, fortunately his father didn't ask him whether his decision was right or wrong, otherwise he really had no way to answer.

Yuan Xi sneered in his heart, knowing that his opportunity had finally come.

He pondered for a moment, and then said slowly; "Father, according to the child's humble opinion, it is not a pity for He Jin to die......."

Yuan Shao was obviously shocked by his words, but this son has been precocious since he was a child, and he is not afraid to have him, "Go on, Xianyi." ”

"He ends up tonight with nothing more than two things, one life and one death. If he is safe and sound, he will definitely personally wave his army to kill the eunuchs, and then issue an order to send Dong Zhuo back to Xiliang. This ending is thrilling, and my father can rest easy. ”

After Yuan Xi finished saying this, he raised his eyes and peeked, only to see Yuan Shaohu's body trembling, his eyes bursting with light, and he said sharply; "Go on."

It seems that what he said just now has penetrated Yuan Shao's heart. Yuan Xi replied with a 'yes' and continued, "The second possibility is that He Jin is dying, so the child has something to say, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice; "You and I, father and son, what else can't be put in our hearts."

Yuan Xi said with a confession; "As soon as He Jin dies, the Ten Standing Servants are afraid of the forbidden army and strangulation, and there is only one way to go." Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Xi fixedly and did not answer.

Immediately, Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Shao's eyes and said word for word; "Hijack the Empress Dowager and flee, or you can flee to Chang'an, set up another court, and then call on the princes of the world to crusade against He Jin in the name of the Son of Heaven."

Father Yuan Shao gasped and sat down on the chair gloomily. Sharply said; "Xianyi, in your opinion, what our father and son want to do is the best policy."

Yuan Xi took a deep breath and said; "Father, am I not your biological son?"

Father Yuan Shao's family education is very strict, I didn't expect Yuan Xi to say such a rebellious thing, his face couldn't help but show anger, and said; "Xianyi, there is no one closer to your parents and brothers in the world, you can't even trust your father."

Yuan Xi straightened up, his face was pale, and he looked at his father Yuan Shao and said; "Don't hide it from my father, in my opinion, now the world is in turmoil, the princes are rising, supporting the army and respecting themselves, the Han family is about to rot, and the country is about to change hands. Although our Yuan family was blessed by the Han Dynasty in the era, it is difficult to support it alone in the current situation, and it is impossible to turn the tide. In this situation, you can only plan for yourself. I thought about it and thought that as long as one strategy worked. ”

His father, Yuan Shao, was obviously frightened by his rebellious remarks, but Yuan Shao seemed to be much smarter than the legend suggests.

Yuan Shao feigned anger; "Xianyi, shut up, you are going to kill your head when you say this, believe it or not, I will hand you over to Tingwei."

Yuan Xi said fiercely; "First, kill Cao Cao, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, because he and his father are in charge of the forbidden army at the same time, and it is likely that they will interfere with it."

Yuan Shao's surprised expression gradually calmed down, he took a deep breath, and glanced around; "And what about the second thing?"

Yuan Xi said hesitantly; "No matter whether He Jin is dead or alive, his father can't let Dong Zhuo enter the city."

Yuan Shao suddenly sighed and said; "It's too late, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers have already entered the 'Mianchi', and he didn't listen to the edict of the imperial court at all, and went straight to Luoyang."

Yuan Xi didn't know about this matter, and was immediately stunned, and then said; "How many soldiers and horses does my father have?"

Yuan Shao looked at him strangely and said; "Thousands of old and weak." Yuan Xi pondered for a moment and said; "I have a plan, maybe I can get through this."

Yuan Shao asked suddenly; "What will happen if Dong Zhuo enters the city."

Yuan Xi frowned, sighed in his heart, and said secretly; "Thousands of miles of scorched earth and rivers of blood. It's just that the lives are in misery and the world is in chaos, what else can I do? Yuan Xi continued; The strength of the Liang soldiers in the west will definitely control the capital and the emperor, and then coerce the ministers and extort violently, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Yuan Shao paced in the court; "Three thousand soldiers is simply not enough to repel the Xiliang strong army."

Yuan Xi said with an idea; "There are tens of thousands of Imperial Forest Army under He Jin, and we can use it to defend against the Xiliang Army."

Yuan Shao secluded road; "If the emperor doesn't issue a holy decree, I don't have a military talisman, how can the Imperial Forest Army listen to my father's dispatch."

Immediately, I saw Yuan Shao laugh and laugh, "Hahahaha, how can my father be willing to hand you over to Tingwei." Then Yuan Shao turned his back to Yuan Xi and said, "Xianyi, you go down first."

Yuan Xi retreated, and unconsciously Yuan Xi found that he was already sweating, it seems that his father is hiding too deeply, maybe if his father has not been defeated by Guandu, maybe it is another Li Yuan.

On that day, Zhang Rang summoned him by falsely passing the will of the Queen Mother. Yuan Shao and others dissuaded He Jin from entering the palace, but for some reason He Jin insisted on entering the palace despite the dissuasion of his generals.

After he was completely ambushed, Zhang Rang and others questioned He Jin and said: "The chaos in the world is not only the sin of our eunuchs. The first emperor was angry with the queen mother, and almost deposed the queen mother, we rescued with tears, and everyone gave tens of millions of family wealth as gifts, so that the first emperor eased down, just to support yourself under your door. Isn't it too much for you to want to kill us now? ”

So Shang Fang Jian Qu Mu pulled out his sword and killed He Jin in front of the Xide Palace.

Zhang Rang and others wrote an edict appointing the former Taiwei Fan Ling as the lieutenant of Sili, and the Shaofu Xu Xiang as the Henan Yin.

When Shang Shu saw the edict, he felt suspicious and said, "Please come in and out of the general to discuss together." ”

Zhonghuangmen threw He Jin's head to Shang Shu and said, "He Jin rebelled and has been executed!" ”

When He Jin heard that He Jin was killed, he led his troops into the palace, and Hu Ben Zhonglang attacked Yuan Shu in the palace and burned the Qingzuo Gate.

Zhang Rang and others saw that the situation was not good, so they took the young emperor Liu Wei and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, and Liu Yan, the princess of Wannian, and others to flee from Fudao in a hurry.

At this time, Yuan Shao finished his orders, and after hearing the news that his subordinates had told the general that he had been killed, he reorganized his troops and horses to kill the palace.

Yuan Shao was wearing armor with the help of his own soldiers, and Yuan Xi knelt in front of him and pleaded: "Due to the lack of manpower, Fang Cai's father first gave up the reorganization of the right lieutenant Feng Fang, and the child asked to lead a hundred elites to go to the organization. ”

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "This is child's play, you stay in the station." ”

"In the ancients, there was Gan Luobai who sent an envoy to Zhao State, and now his father is also a young man, so he has taken on the role of a confidential and ambitious, so the child naturally has to take his father as an example." Yuan Xi saluted.

Yuan Shao has the best reputation, and he was relieved and happy when he heard his son's praise, but he didn't want Yuan Xi to take risks, "You have this ambition very well, but now the situation is unclear and it is really dangerous." ”

Although Yuan Shao is not a qualified male master, he is indeed a good father.

Yuan Xi said: "The child asked himself that he had never slackened off in the bow and horse over the years, and it was not a problem to protect himself, and there was a heroic person like Xu Chu to help. ”

At this time, Xu You, who was following beside him, took a deep look at Yuan Xi, and then had some understanding, "At the beginning, Ling Gongzi had a lot of ambitions, and Xian Yi was a young talent, and he was the best in this generation, and Meng De had already ordered Cao Ang to lead the soldiers and horses, I think Xian Yi's talent is more than a hundred times better than Cao Ang." ”

Yuan Shao was really happy when he heard this, so he agreed to Yuan Xi's request and asked him to take Xu Chu's department to collect the soldiers and horses of Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, and because he couldn't let go of his heart, he allocated an extra 200 cavalry.

Then Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Kui pretended to be edicted to kill the palace, killed the eunuch Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, and then enlisted the troops under Suzaku to hunt down the eunuch Zhao Zhong and others who did not have time to escape.

He also ordered the palace gate to be closed, strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and commanded the soldiers to search for the eunuchs in the palace, both old and young, and killed more than 2,000 people, and some people who did not grow beards were also killed as eunuchs

Although the eight lieutenants of the West Park were all stationed in the west of the city, their stations were not connected. Yuan Xi was excited in his heart, and with some high spirits, he led two hundred cavalry, as well as Xu Chu's one hundred elite soldiers, to the camp of the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army. He wore a delicate fish-scale armor, carried a bow and arrows, and strapped a steel sword around his waist. Xu Chu is also wearing armor and a knife, wearing a pair of fish scale armor, and riding on a horse.

Yuan Xi was not afraid, but full of excitement, which was his first step to the peak of power. And there is Xu Chu, a super bodyguard, a super-first-class fierce general.

He didn't worry about security at all. At this time, Xu Chu was wearing bronze armor, with a bright and beautiful drape behind him, coupled with his already rough and angry face, he was really a good tiger general!

Far away. Yuan Xi did not teach the garrison to reflect. Let the cavalry rush into the camp of the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army. Several cavalrymen threw rivets to jam the walled gate, and the next foot soldiers assisted in completely destroying the walled gate.

The soldiers and horses of the right colonel of the auxiliary army were stunned when they saw these soldiers of the same camp rushing into the camp, and they didn't know whether they should fight back immediately. Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, heard the noise outside the camp, and immediately took a few personal soldiers out to see what was going on.

It's okay not to look at it, but if you don't look at it, the soldiers and horses with the logo of the Chinese army actually rushed into their camp and confronted their own people.

Naturally, he also saw Yuan Xi who was surrounded in the middle, and asked, "Who dare you to make trouble here for no reason!" ”

Yuan Xi amplified his voice and said: "On the orders of the general and the lieutenant of the Si Li, on behalf of Feng Fang, he will lead the post of the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, and Feng Fang will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, and he will report to the shogunate of the Si Li Zhongjun immediately." ”

Let's just let a soldier take the warrant of Captain Sili to Feng Fang. Feng Fang was not Yuan Shao's party, but He Jin's henchman, he sneered after reading the warrant: "I'm afraid this is what Yuan Benchu meant, I see that there is a fire in Luoyang City, something big must have happened, Yuan Benchu's move is to take away my military power?" ”

Yuan Xi asked, "Then is Lord Feng under orders?" ”

Feng Fang ignored the young man at all, and replied, "I can't give the order until I confirm with the general." ”

Yuan Xi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Those who don't listen to military orders will be killed!" ”

A cavalry lieutenant beside Feng Fang stepped forward with a gun and said with a smile: "I know you doll, isn't it Yuan Benchu's second son?" Go back quickly, this is not where you stay. ”

Yuan Xi knew that he couldn't subdue these soldiers and horses without killing people, so he said coldly: "Zhongkang! Xu Chu understood, grabbed the big knife and rushed to the captain.

The cavalry captain picked up the gun and wanted to provoke Xu Chu to dismount, but he didn't want to face the oncoming steel knife not only came quickly, but the strength was even heavier, and the gun and knife cracked open as soon as he knocked each other, and the spear was no longer stable.

He was about to dodge on horseback, but the yin wind brought by the steel knife had already cut his neck, Xu Chu raised the knife and fell, blood splashed, and a human head immediately flew to the side.

In the horror of the soldiers, Xu Chu picked up the head with the tip of his knife and returned to Yuan Xi's side. Yuan Xi said to Feng Fang: "If you don't follow the order within three numbers, you will bear the consequences. "Just count them. Feng Fang was a little scared, so he ordered his own soldiers to protect him, and said with a little weakness: "Do you want to rebel by killing the imperial court officials?" ”

Yuan Xi ignored him and counted to "three", and a cold light shot forward beside him.

Feng Fang saw a yin wind flying in front of him without warning, and then a sharp arrow pierced his throat, and Feng Fang's whole person flew upside down and dismounted.

Yuan Xi took the opportunity to shout again: "Those who do not obey the order will be killed!" ”

Xu Chu also opened his loud voice and shouted: "Those who do not obey the order will be killed!" ”

His roar was much more effective than Yuan Xi's, and the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army and the soldiers watched each other, and immediately knelt down on one foot and said "By the general's order".

Yuan Xi nodded, and asked the hundred generals and above officers to enter the camp tent to discuss the matter, and the rest of the soldiers were stationed in the camp.

Yuan Xi first briefly described what happened in the palace, asked them to be loyal to the country and obey the orders of the commander of Si Li, and promised some benefits, opened the treasury and rewarded some money.

Then he discussed with the officers the matter of reorganizing the troops and horses.

In fact, this eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, except for the upper army and the middle army, which is full of 10,000 people, the rest are two or three thousand people, and although the weapons and armor used to be deductible, but looking at the entire Han Dynasty, it can be regarded as excellent.

The soldiers were also sturdy and sturdy young men, and there were six or seven hundred cavalry among the soldiers, and some other baggage and so on were also relatively perfect. However, the weakness of the West Garden's soldiers and horses in lack of training and actual combat is also obvious.

Yuan Xi asked the officers who wanted to go on another path to leave, and half of them were left. Most of those who stayed were junior officers, and those who left were Feng Fang's cronies.

After learning that there were 3,000 people under the jurisdiction of the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, Yuan Xi asked Xu Chu to take the newly promoted officers to cut out the weakness, and at the same time pick out the most elite more than 200 people, leaving more than 2,000 people.

Yuan Xi took the post of cavalry lieutenant himself, and the general commander of all things in the camp, half of the 100 elites commanded by Xu Chu were divided into the recruited soldiers and horses as junior officers.

The newly merged elite guards had three hundred, led by Xu Chu as the governor of the department.

In this way, excluding the personal guards and the original 300 cavalry assistants, there were more than 2,000 people, including 6,700 cavalry, 1,600 foot soldiers, and 400 baggage logistics.

West Park Camp.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi discussed secretly in the big account, and Yuan Shao asked, "Xianyi, in such a critical situation, how should I deal with myself as a father?" ”

Yuan Xi was stunned, his father did not discuss such a confidential matter with his advisers, but discussed it with himself, Yuan Xi beat a drum in his heart.

So, Yuan Xi boldly said, "Please allow my father to lead two thousand elite soldiers to ambush on the bank of the Xiaopingjin River in Beibi Mountain, I guess Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers will definitely cross the river from there." Father only needs to let the soldiers ambush, and when half of the Xiliang soldiers cross the other side of the river, he orders the crossbowmen to shoot with strong bows, and the Xiliang soldiers must panic and trample on each other, and when the bows and arrows are exhausted, they will immediately be cut into two sections with light cavalry to cover them. No matter how strong Dong Zhuo's soldiers are, they are not immortals, how can they enter Luoyang. ”

Yuan Shao hesitated; "But how can two thousand soldiers hold back tens of thousands of troops for a long time. And it's too dangerous, how can I do that. ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said; "These children also know that I don't hope for these two thousand soldiers, but I hope that they can stop Dong Zhuo for two hours, and I only need two hours."

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed again, and Zhengse said; "What are you going to do?"

Yuan Xi sneered; "The child has already said just now, the ten permanent servants will definitely jump over the wall and kidnap the emperor. Father can send 500 soldiers to quickly enter the palace to protect the emperor and the queen mother, so that he can get the holy decree and launch the Imperial Forest Army to defeat Dong Zhuo. ”

Yuan Shao said quietly: "What if the emperor is really kidnapped." ”

Yuan Xi bowed and saluted; "The child has already thought carefully, if His Majesty is really kidnapped, then the Ten Standing Servants have no way out, and they will definitely throw themselves in the direction of Beibi Mountain. This is equivalent to automatically being sent into our ambush array, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

"What about the worst plan" Yuan Shao continued to ask, Yuan Xi turned around and said; "If Dong Zhuo finds the emperor before us, it will be a big deal. At this time, 'whoever wins the emperor wins the world'. ”

Yuan Shao said lightly; "What do you mean 。。。。。"

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said; "Isn't that what my father wants?"

Father Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with cunning, and he looked back at him and said; "Xianyi, you understand your father's mind, don't you?"

Yuan Xi sighed and said; "Father's original intention was to 'Dong Zhuo' enter Beijing and 'He Jin' to merge with fire, you can sit on the fisherman's profits and make contributions in the troubled times, but I didn't expect that 'He Jin' was a pig's head, and there was no 'human' IQ at all, as soon as he heard the call of the Queen Mother, he immediately ran over to die. But I think it's better this way, He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants fight, and we still reap the benefits, provided that Dong Zhuo must be defeated in the Beibi Mountains outside Luoyang City, so that the Yuan family can grasp the power and firmly control the north of the Yellow River and the west of the Tiger Pass. ”

Yuan Shao got up and walked past Yuan Xi. After taking a few steps, she stared back at him for a long time. Wei An's upright body trembled and said; "Xianyi, my father is wrong, my strategy of bringing foreign soldiers into Beijing will not work, you already know this."

Yuan Xi was suddenly frightened, and Shi Li said, "Father, rest assured, as long as our father and son are of the same heart, there will definitely be room for redemption." ”

At dusk, Wang Yun heard the news of He Jin's killing at the General's Mansion, and immediately went to contact a cadre of old ministers to deal with the crisis.

The carriage ran on the bluestone pavement, and the sound of stepping was very brisk. Wang Yun was thinking about the carriage when the coachman suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but hit the side of the door.

Wang Yun was a little annoyed and asked, "What's the matter?" The driver was also a little panicked and replied, "My lord, a woman suddenly ran in front of me and knocked down our car." ”

Wang Yun immediately got out of the car and investigated with the coachman.

Sure enough, there was a girl who had fainted lying on the ground, and to Wang Yun's surprise, the girl was wearing a luxurious palace dress, which was not something that ordinary palace maids and ladies could wear. He saw that there was no one around, hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly carried the girl into the carriage with the coachman and brought her home.
