Yuan Shao spoke out to expose Cao Cao's scars, which immediately made Cao Cao very ashamed.

And He Jin also thought of this, and immediately looked at Cao Cao with unkind eyes.

"Meng De doesn't need to say more, I have already decided on this matter! Recruit the heroes of the Quartet to enter Beijing and jointly exterminate the eunuchs! ”

Seeing that persuasion was hopeless, Cao Cao left the General's Mansion helplessly and resentfully.

He seemed to have foreseen that something terrible was about to happen in Luoyang.

Cao Cao left, Chen Lin's words were not accepted, and He Jin began to discuss with a group of Yuan disciples and Yuan's former officials where to recruit strong soldiers to come to Luoyang to participate in the grand event.

The first candidate was the Liangzhou strong army under Dong Zhuo proposed by Yuan Shao, and He Jin decisively adopted it without the slightest hesitation.

The second candidate was chosen by He Jin himself, and he chose Ding Yuan, the cavalry captain who was stationed in Hanoi to resist the Yellow Turbans.

Then Yuan Shu proposed a third candidate.

"Shanggu guards Guo Peng, there are elite cavalry in Youzhou under his command, he has repeatedly defeated Xianbei and Karasuma, and he has also quelled Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion, he is loyal to the country, he is a disciple of Lu Gong, very reliable, and can also be recruited together."

Yuan Shu recommended Guo Peng.

Yuan Shao stared at Yuan Shu for a while, then looked away.

Although he and Yuan Shu have not reached a direct agreement, in this matter, for the time being, the interests of the Yuan family are still the highest benchmark.

Guo Peng is Yuan Shu's cronies, Yuan Shu wants Guo Peng to come, but Yuan Shao has no reason to stop him.

He Jin's impression of Guo Peng is quite good, he has talked before, but because the political struggle is too fierce, he forgot about it, and now that Yuan Shu mentioned it, He Jin was also very happy, and immediately nodded and agreed.

As a result, the three battle-hardened soldiers of You, Bing, and Liang Prefectures, who had more or less relations with the Yuan clan, were recruited in this way, and the messenger was ordered to set off immediately.

Not only that, He Jin also ordered his subordinates Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao and others to go to other places to recruit soldiers and horses to come back and enrich their strength.

In addition, a group of scholars and doctors who returned from other places to mourn were appointed as officials.

For example, Wang Yun was appointed Henan Yin at this time and took over the position of Yuan Shu, and a group of cronies Gyeonggi took over the garrison positions of each important chong.

In this way, the entire land of Luoyang and Gyeonggi seems to be in the hands of He Jin.

He Jin closed the door of his house tightly, ready to close the door and beat the dog.

In addition, in order to silence the forces opposing the arrival of foreign soldiers in the DPRK and China, He Jin ordered Ding Yuan, the closest to the capital, to lead the troops to burn Meng Jin, and write a letter to impeach the eunuchs.

Because he felt that Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan's journey was relatively close, Yuan Shu was also worried about Guo Peng's long distance, so he gave the messenger Yuan's good horse and a special passage, and asked the messenger to rush to Shanggu urgently for six hundred miles, so that Guo Peng could prepare before the messenger was ordered.

At this moment, Guo Peng had already expected that his debut day was coming.

From the news of the death of Emperor Ling and the change of the throne of the Young Emperor to Shanggu County in the five days of the imperial edict that he had placed in Luoyang, he knew that the day of his appearance was approaching.

After Yuan Shu promised him that he would find an opportunity to send the letter that he had called him to Luoyang, he was even more convinced.

Hearing that Emperor Ling had died, Guo Peng cried bitterly in the Taishou Mansion in Shanggu County, and it took a while to ease up, and he wrote a sacrifice table with a heavy heart and sent it to Luoyang.

Then he sent his own soldiers to escort his wife and two sons out of Shanggu and towards Qian County.

"Why leave now? Penglang, it's not a big deal, is it? ”

Cao Lan was reluctant to leave Guo Peng, hugging him tightly and not wanting to let go.

Guo Peng also hugged Cao Lan tightly.

"Alain, be obedient, you go home first, take care of Ah Jin and Ah Jun, it won't be long before I go home."

"You're going home too?"

Cao Lan's face was full of incomprehension.

"Well, I'll go home, Kamitan-gun, we won't be around for long, we've done everything we need to do, we've taken everything we need to take away, it's time to leave."

Guo Peng whispered in Cao Lan's ear: "Go home, wait for me, in less than a year and a half, I will go home, and when the time comes, we can be together forever, and we don't have to be separated like before." ”

Cao Lan didn't understand why Guo Peng said this, but since Guo Peng said this, she chose to believe it, because Guo Peng never promised her what she couldn't do.

Cao Lan chose to believe, and then silently took her two sons and embarked on the road home under the secret escort of Guo Lie and Zhao Yun.

Guo Peng had no worries, so he began to reorganize his troops and horses, and ordered the army to enter a state of combat readiness.

On the grounds that "the emperor is dead, I am afraid that Xianbei will attack", the army was ordered to enter a state of first-level combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time.

In this way, as soon as the news arrives, he will immediately reorganize the cavalry, gallop to Luoyang at the fastest speed, join the great changes of this era, and become an indispensable part of it.

From April to June, the He clan completed the devastating blow to the Dong clan, and used the fastest speed to grasp all the important positions around Luoyang, firmly controlling the central power.

At first glance, it seems that the world will be stable, and He Jin will become a key figure in the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, if He Jin was a little smarter, even if he realized the change in his status and knew the art of checks and balances, it might be so.

It's a pity he doesn't understand.

He Jin didn't understand, from beginning to end, he was not a member of the Shiren group, he was a relative, a relative from a local tyrant, and after destroying his competitors, what he represented was imperial power.

His position should be shifted, not business as usual.

The praise of the scholars made him a little fluttering, so he didn't pay attention or didn't pay enough attention to it, and most of his subordinates were Yuan's protégés.

He's just a banner, a tool man.

The one who wielded the flag and manipulated the tool was Yuan.

Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu.

On July 16, Yuan Shu's messenger arrived two days before the arrival of the imperial messenger.

He Jin's order to recruit Guo Peng to lead his Youzhou Iron Cavalry to arrive in Luoyang to assist He Jin himself in exterminating the eunuchs was delivered, and Guo Peng was asked to prepare immediately.

Guo Peng thanked the messenger, entered his study with a secret letter, and then called Cheng Li.

"My lord! It's ......"

After Cheng Li saw this letter, he was shocked and his expression was very shocked.

"The general wants to exterminate the eunuchs, but he is worried that the strength in his hands is not enough to make the queen mother weak, so he recruits a strong army from all over the world to arrive in Luoyang to support him, in addition to us, there are also Dong Zhuo who holds the Liangzhou male soldiers, and Ding Yuan who holds the Liangzhou male soldiers."

Guo Peng laughed: "The general seems to really want to exterminate the eunuchs, hahahahaha, hahahahaha!" ”

Seeing Guo Peng smiling very happily, Cheng Li was a little incomprehensible.

He didn't know much about some of the power struggles in the central government, because his background was very low, and he had never been an official before Guo Peng summoned him, so he had no way of understanding it.

Political struggle and military strategy and governing the common people are different subjects, and although it is necessary for politicians to understand some of them, it also takes time to understand.

Guo has been in Luoyang for eight years, and Guo Peng can be Cheng Li's teacher in this regard.

"Why is the lord laughing?"

"Zhongde, don't you think it's a little strange for the general to do this?"

Guo Peng asked with a smile.

"It's a little strange, the queen mother has a noble status, but in the end she is just a woman, if the general wants to eradicate the eunuchs, he can directly lead the troops to do it, why do you need to recruit foreign soldiers?"

Cheng Li didn't think it through.

"The general does not recruit foreign soldiers into Beijing, where does the foreign soldiers have a reason to go to Luoyang? There is no reason for foreign soldiers to go to Luoyang, where does the Yuan family have the backing of soldiers and horses to achieve the final victory? ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Li was puzzled: "Yuan? ”

"Who wrote this letter to me?"

"Yuan Highway."

"Who is the person who recruited me into Beijing?"

"General...... Yuan Highway?! ”

Cheng Li's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized: "This is Yuan Highway...... No! Was it Yuan's idea? ”

"That's right."

Guo Peng put away his smile and said coldly: "It is not the general who wants to recruit me into Beijing, but Yuan Highway and the Yuan clan behind him, they want to use my soldiers and horses as the backing to become the final victor in this chaos." ”
