Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 424
Although Emperor Ling didn't believe it, he heard it a lot, but he also doubted it.
After all, the power of the world's soldiers and horses is handed over to others, and it is always a little uneasy.
So, at the instigation of the Ten Standing Servants, Emperor Ling set up the Xiyuan Army to check and balance He Jin, to prevent him from having bad intentions after becoming dominant.
This time, the strength of the two sides has become closer again.
Although the great general He Jin held the power of the world's soldiers and horses, these troops were distributed all over the place, and in addition to the army of the imperial city, the troops from other places were forbidden to approach the capital.
This makes He Jin a general, but in the capital of the army, he is far inferior to the ten permanent servants of the Xiyuan Army, even if he has more troops, if he is not in the capital, it is useless.
Therefore, in fact, the Ten Standing Servants have gained an advantage in the situation, while He Jin and the Shi clan feel a serious threat, they are afraid that the Ten Standing Servants will suddenly attack and attack them, but He Jin and them do not have enough strength to resist the powerful Xiyuan Army.
At the critical juncture, it was the scholars who thought of a countermeasure, and they suggested to Emperor Ling that the Xiyuan Army be divided into eight divisions, each led by a different general, which could not only divide the strength of the Xiyuan Army, prevent the rebellion of the forbidden army, but also enable the Xiyuan Army to defend the capital more comprehensively.
In view of the worries caused by handing over all the military power to He Jin before, this time when Emperor Ling heard the suggestion of the scholars to divide the military power of the Xiyuan army, he quickly agreed.
As a result, the Xiyuan Army was nominally controlled by Emperor Ling, but in fact it was controlled by the Ten Standing Servants and the Scholars.
As for the way for the scholars to seize the command of the Xiyuan Army, it is also very simple, that is, the young talents in the Shi clan will take the position of the Xiyuan Army and hold the command.
And Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are the representatives of the scholar clan.
They not only have strong family support behind them, but they are also the leaders of the younger generation, and supporting them to serve as the commander of the West Garden Army is planning for the future.
In this way, all the units of the Xiyuan Army were controlled by the Ten Standing Servants and the Scholars, and they were all guarding against each other, and at the same time they wanted to kill each other at any time.
In the end, the victorious side was still on the side of the Ten Standing Servants, although He Jin gathered the best talents among the scholars around him, but He Jin, who had no foresight, still gave away his own because of blind confidence
Life.
But he didn't care if he died, but he was unlucky with the scholars.
You must know that the scholars have spent too much time and effort to support this stupid person to get to this point, who knows that he is a mud who can't support the wall, and he can't even see the obvious traps, and they sneer at the people around him who are trying to persuade him.
Perhaps, believing that such a person can succeed is a mistake in itself.
The nobles were also mistaken because of their cleverness.
But how could they allow failure, especially when they had already come this far.
Therefore, they didn't stop doing anything, they simply tore their faces, showed their hideous side, and used the excuse that the ten permanent servants killed He Jin as an excuse to kill them directly into the palace.
To say that the Ten Standing Servants did not expect such a day, but the Captain Jian Shuo, the military academy they relied on, had been killed in the fierce palace struggle, and now the Ten Standing Servants could resist Yuan Shao's army The strength of their army was very limited, and Chun Yuqiong was one of the important chess pieces.
But this unruly guy, seeing the chaos in the palace, instead of rescuing the ten permanent attendants, he also took the opportunity to loot the harem.
After all, as soon as Jian Shuo died, there was no connection between him and the Ten Standing Attendants, and he was already ungrateful, and he had no obligation to rescue these eunuchs.
And the treasures and beauties in front of him are much more attractive than those eunuchs.
Therefore, Chun Yuqiong didn't care about the life or death of the ten permanent attendants, and only cared about robbing the property in the palace and violating the beauties in the harem.
Who knows, their actions have led to death.
This disaster is Niu Eighteen, he has been hiding in Chun Yuqiong's army, but Chun Yuqiong has no idea, until this time, Niu Eighteen revealed his true face, Chun Yuqiong regretted it too late.
Seeing that Chun Yuqiong was about to be eaten by Niu Eighteen spit out the "Gu worm", a rocket saved his life.
This rocket came from other Xiyuan Army, and the leader of the army was Yuan Shao, the captain of the Central Military Academy, and Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Military Academy.
As the representatives of the Shi clan in the Xiyuan Army, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of eliminating the Ten Standing Servants.
Eunuchs, relatives, and scholars, these three forces have been competing, and the strength of the eunuchs is the strongest, and they once pressed the scholars so much that they couldn't raise their heads.
Therefore, the scholar clan could only use the hands of his cousin He Jin to eliminate the Ten Standing Servants.
But now that He Jin is dead, the disparity in strength between the scholars and the eunuchs will immediately increase, and once the ten permanent servants are allowed to stabilize their positions, they will definitely take strong revenge against the scholars in the future.
At this point, they could not hesitate.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were on standby at the palace gate, simply led the troops to kill them, and in the current form, either you die or I die, if the ten permanent servants do not die, then they will suffer in the future.
Therefore, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao took the risk to enter the palace and kill the Ten Standing Attendants, not only to destroy the enemy, but also to protect themselves.
They fought all the way to the harem, and everywhere they passed, there were corpses everywhere.
Although most of these people who were killed were eunuchs in the palace, there were also many people who were killed by mistake.
Yuan Shao ordered his subordinates to kill eunuchs, and would rather kill the wrong ones, so anyone in the palace, as long as they had no beard, could not escape death.
The ten permanent servants almost died in this palace change, and only Zhang Rang fled to the harem with the young emperor Liu Wei.
He felt that the harem was a forbidden place in the palace, and no matter how bold Yuan Shao and the others were, they would not dare to break into here.
Who would have thought that now Yuan Shao has killed the red eye, not to mention that Zhang Rang is the head of the ten permanent servants, and he is holding the young emperor Liu Wei hostage, if he is allowed to escape, maybe he will rely on the young emperor to make a comeback, and at that time, Yuan Shao and others will be held accountable for committing rebellion, but it is a big crime to destroy the nine clans.
So how can Yuan Shao let Zhang Rang go?
So he took Cao Cao and his younger brother Yuan Shu into the harem together, and vowed not to stop if he didn't kill Zhang Rang.
But they chased all the way, but Zhang Rang didn't find it, but he ran into Chun Yuqiong.
I saw that at this time, the Xiyuan Army led by Chun Yuqiong had been completely wiped out, and what wiped out this Xiyuan Army was not thousands of troops, but a group of terrible insects.
These insects eat human flesh and blood, and they will never stop devouring the life around them.
In the face of these insects blocking the way, Yuan Shao and the others did not dare to move forward rashly, because they knew that even if more soldiers went up, they would be eaten by these insects, so the army of Yuan Shao and others could only stay in a safe position and watch, and did not dare to act rashly.
