Although the addition of Cao's army gave the Luoyang Rebellion a few more troops, Zhao Shen, Yuan Zheng and others who had experienced the previous battles knew very well that sometimes it was not necessarily useful to have a large number of people in this battle.

On the tower of the palace, looking at the mighty chaotic army, Wang Biao sneered, and was about to give the order to release the arrows, when in the shadows, a figure suddenly came out and saluted Wang Biao and said, "Uncle Wang, slow down." ”

"Dumb?" Wang Biao turned his head and looked at Dumb who appeared in sight in some surprise: "When did you come?" ”

"It's always there." Yang Qing smiled slightly, Dumb's nickname, there are not many people calling it now, and then said solemnly: "The lord has an order, let them in." ”

"Huh?" Wang Biao frowned and looked at the token in Dumb's hand: "Let them in, then Your Majesty ...... there"

"I don't know about this nephew." Yang Qing shook his head and said, "Mr. sent me an order, let me come to pass the order." ”

Wang Biao carefully looked at the token in Yang Qing's hand, although he didn't know what the reason was, but now he didn't need to know, as a general, he had only one thing to do, that is, to obey orders.

At that moment, Wang Biao didn't pay attention to the chaotic troops who rushed up, waved his hand and said, "The Yulin army obeys the order and retreats!" ”

Although a group of Yulin soldiers did not understand their meaning, but the order was given, they should obey it, with Wang Biao's order, the Yulin army, which was originally in strict formation, quickly retreated into the North Palace to hide.

Zhao Shen and Yuan Zheng were ready to rush into the palace desperately, but who knew that there was no obstruction in the palace until Yuan Zheng led the men and horses to open the palace gate and rushed into the corridor, everyone was still a little confused.

"What about people?" After Liu Zhen entered the palace gate, he looked at the empty palace and said in amazement.

"I haven't seen it." Zhao Shen shook his head, turned his head to look at Yuan Zheng and said, "Yuan Zheng, you and all the Cao soldiers are guarding the palace gate, and I will wait to greet Your Majesty." ”

"Whoa!" Yuan Zheng agreed, and the soldiers of the Cao army had no commander, and they didn't know what to do at this time.

After Zhao Shen finished arranging, he took Liu Zhen and a group of soldiers to Liu Neng's dormitory.

In the dormitory, you can vaguely hear the crying and fighting in the city, Liu Neng walked around the palace with some anxiety, and the harem concubines who had indulged him in the past also lost their attraction at this moment, and he was driven out of the dormitory, leaving only a few eunuchs to serve.

"Is there any news from outside the palace?" Liu Neng couldn't remember how many times he asked.

The eunuch who was recruited by him shook his head, don't talk about the news, this night, there was not even a soldier in the palace to report the news.

Liu Neng still wanted to say something, suddenly heard a large number of hurried footsteps from outside the palace, Liu Neng's face couldn't help but change, his eyes stared straight outside the palace, when he saw Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen coming first, Liu Neng finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by an irrepressible ecstasy, these two people arrived at this time, does it mean that this plan against Chen Mo was successful?

"See Your Majesty!" Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen came in and bowed to Liu Neng.

"No need to be polite." Liu Neng waved his hand a little impatiently, looked at the two of them, and said expectantly: "Have you ever succeeded?" ”

Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen froze when they heard this, looked at each other, and both hoped that the other party would say.

Liu Neng saw the performance of the two of them, his heart sank for no reason, he was in the market in his early years, he was the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw the appearance of the two, Liu Neng looked at Liu Zhen until things were not good, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, you say!" ”

Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, except for the internal thief, we have leaked secrets, so that the Chen thief has already prepared, tonight the soldiers and horses of the four routes, including the Cao army that came to support, were all defeated by the Chen thief's subordinates, and now they have to retreat into the palace and wait for Cao Cao's army to come to support." ”

"Poof~" Liu Neng's legs were weak, he sat down on the ground, and looked at the two of them in a daze, he waited for a night, and finally waited for this result, which made Liu Neng a little unacceptable.

"Your Majesty!?" The eunuch beside him exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Neng up.

"Rubbish! Darn! Liu Neng stood up a little nervously, pointed to the noses of the two and roared, "What did you tell me before?" Will this battle be successful? What is this now? Yes? ”

Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen were both speechless, when they promised Liu Neng, they were full of confidence, who would have thought that when they really did it, they would become like this?

"Your Majesty is angry, blame that old thief for turning his back on me!" Liu Zhen lowered his head for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Sima old thief?" Liu Neng frowned and glanced at Liu Zhen, then reacted, and said in disbelief: "You mean Dasi Nong Sima Fang?" ”

Sima Fang has always stood on the opposite side of Chen Mo, every time he is in the court, the three dukes are silent about the policies proposed by Chen Mo, but Sima Fang, every time he goes toe-to-toe with Chen Mo, it is no wonder that Liu Neng was stunned, and he couldn't imagine that Sima Fang betrayed him if he wanted to break his head, and looked at the two of them with a suspicious face at the moment and said: "Don't you wait for the defeat of the matter, and pull people to take the blame at will?" ”

"It's this old thief!" Liu Zhen nodded fiercely and said: "Tonight, this old thief will join us in the future, and the minister will already be suspicious, and when he does it tonight, the Chen thief's subordinates seem to have known how we are going to do it, not only let Guo Yi seize Yang Ding's military power one step ahead of me, but also set up ambushes in various important places early, so that we will fall short, Your Majesty, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, the minister thinks that it must be the old thief Sima who leaked the secret, causing us to be defeated." ”

Liu Neng paced back and forth a little irritably, and there was some faith in his heart, and after a while, he turned his head to look at the other party and said, "The matter has come to this, what can I do?" ”

"Your Majesty, at this time, we should defend the palace to the death, and now we have the knowledge of the converging Cao Jun in our hands, although we are not defeated by Chen Thief's subordinates, it is still feasible to defend the palace." Zhao Shen finally spoke, and said to Liu Neng: "As long as the palace is in our hands, we will not be defeated, there will be a large number of loyal people to come to support, and Yique Pass is still in our hands, although the Cao army is defeated, but there are still a large number of elites outside, as long as the news comes out here, the Cao army will definitely enter the customs and attack Luoyang to save Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Neng hesitated: "I think it...... How about making peace with the general at this time? ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Shen is a little helpless, if you make peace at this time, don't say that you will no longer have the right to speak in the court, those of us who help, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe, besides, you are a monarch and a minister, how can the Son of Heaven make peace with his courtiers? Where is the majesty of the emperor? Immediately persuaded: "At this time, if Chen Mo takes advantage of the situation to force His Majesty to take the Zen position, Your Majesty is willing?" ”

This......

Liu Neng stopped talking when he heard this, although this son of heaven is a bit of a wreck, but his life is still very different from before, if he really loses the throne, not to mention anything else, how can his concubines feed? And the children, that's a problem alone.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Neng frowned and said, "Although Chen Mo is rebellious, it won't be like this, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, if Chen Mo wins this battle, the Central Plains will be all his own, and the unification of the world is just around the corner, Your Majesty thinks, what scruples does Chen Mo have at that time?" Liu Zhen said in a deep voice: "If you really force Your Majesty to give in, under the Nine Springs, what kind of face do we have to face the ancestors of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Liu Neng heard this, thinking about Chen Mo's power now, and sighed: "But now is how long can I keep it?" The two Aiqing, I don't believe it, but since the secret has been leaked this time, is Yique Guan really still in our hands? ”

Now Liu Neng, for Zhao Shen's words, he no longer dares to believe them, before these people swore an oath, with a posture that Chen Mo could be wiped out, now what? Those who were beaten by others could only retreat into the palace.

Since there are traitors inside, and all actions are detected by others, why do you think that Yique Pass is still in your hands now?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the evidence of Yang Wei's betrayal of Chen Mo is now in our hands, he definitely does not dare to betray, even if someone wants to go to seize power, there are no more soldiers and horses around Luoyang, how to seize the pass? Yique Pass must still be in the hands of Yang Wei now. Zhao Shen comforted.

Liu Neng shook his head: "Aiqing, don't you forget that Yang Ding also had heavy troops before, and in the end, it was not the same as being easily seized by Guo Yi?" ”

He can see it, it is not difficult to pull out a few generals from Chen Mo's hands, but it is really difficult to win military power from him, even if the generals betray, but these soldiers and horses only recognize Chen Mo and do not recognize the generals, although Zhao Shen and others did not say it, but from the fact that the Hedong Army was easily seized by Guo Yi, and it can be seen that under the leadership of Guo Yi, it can be seen that unless Chen Mo is dead, it is too difficult to seize military power.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and there is no way back for us!" Liu Zhen frowned and said, if the matter fails, Liu Neng will be fine, but they are going to raid the house and destroy the door, or rather, now that Li Ru may have been raiding their house, now what they want is to hold on for a while longer, as long as Yi Que is in his hands, they will still have a chance.

"It's too dangerous." Liu Neng shook his head, it is impossible to expect these people to succeed, what he has to do now is to draw a clear line, don't wait for Chen Mo to count himself when he is liquidated, in fact, he will be a puppet emperor...... It's not unacceptable, it's better than being abolished, right?

Seeing that Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen's faces were ugly, Liu Neng thought for a while and said: "The two Qing families should take advantage of the fact that they still have soldiers and horses in their hands now, break through and flee for their lives, and save some vitality for their future recovery." ”

Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen glanced at each other, if they could be killed, how would they return to the palace, but what they didn't expect was that Liu Neng was unwilling to continue to cooperate with them.

"Your Majesty!" The two sides reached some kind of consensus in an instant, and Zhao Shen bowed and said: "In order to ensure the continuation of my Han family, the minister has no choice but to offend!" ”

Liu Neng frowned, what do you mean by this?

"Wait for ......" Looking at the two people who suddenly stood up, Liu Neng sensed that something was wrong, and instinctively took a step back.

"Please Your Majesty wait with me to the palace city and call on the righteous people of Luoyang to come to help!"

"You ...... Daring! Liu Neng changed color and wanted to say something more, but he was already driven by Zhao Shen and walked outside the hall.
