Chapter 120: The Changing Tide
The Nine Dragons are shocking, and they will swim in shallow water during the wind and clouds. ---------- "The Storm Dominates the World"
It is said that Chen Long incarnated as a big salt merchant, and received a report from Xu Shu halfway through, Liu Yan had promised full cooperation, and Xu Shu did not disgrace his mission. The army had gone straight to the Sword Pavilion along the Jialing River, and Chen Longzuo's ship had also arrived in Jiangzhou.
It was getting late, Chen Long decided to repair in Jiangzhou, and as soon as he got off the boat, he met Lingling's spy Su Man by the dock. Su Man's face was tired, his clothes were tattered, his expression was nervous, and he said that something was wrong. Several people became nervous, and Chen Long stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Budo, who was about to inquire, and told everyone to get on the boat.
The dim lights were rekindled in the cabin, and Zhou Cang led the people to guard around outside the cabin. Zhou Budo saw Chen Long sitting still, and asked Su Man impatiently: "Mr. Su, but that Dong Zhuo lost his patience and turned around and pounced on Chang'an?" β
Su Man saw that the lord and several senior generals were all worried, and hurriedly stood up and reported: "It seems to be worse than this." β
"Hundreds of our spies searched day and night, and finally found Dong Zhuo's ambush in the woods under one of the peaks in the mountains. In the surveillance, it was found that Dong Zhuo's army did move, but the direction was not Chang'an, but a secret march in the mountains, bypassing Chongdu Ditch, and rushing straight to Daqinggou, and the direction was to go straight to Luoyang. β
"The subordinates know that something is wrong, and a major change must have happened in Luoyang. The subordinates hurried to Chang'an, which was closer, day and night, and finally learned the truth at the intelligence point of Chang'an Zhong Xuan. β
Chen Long was taken aback in his heart, thinking to himself, could it be that Dong Zhuo's rebellion was staged in advance? The surface was not shocked: "Su Man, let's talk about the point!" β
Su Man hurriedly said: "A major event has happened in Luoyang that shook the world. The general He Jin and his subordinates Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other advisers had long conspired to kill all the eunuchs in order to let their relatives completely gain power, but they have not been able to do so because of the obstruction of Wuyang Jun and Empress He. He Jin's hesitation brought the disaster of killing himself, and the eunuchs Jian Shuo and Zhao Zhong made a plan to kill He when he entered the palace, but under the hint of Jian Shuo's Sima Pan Yin, He Jin escaped. β
He Jin hated Jian Shuo, and finally planned with Yuan Shao to kill Jian Shuo and take all his subordinates. The eunuchs were frightened and bribed Wuyang Jun and Empress He heavily to prevent He Jin from further killing the eunuchs, and He Jin fell into a dilemma again and hesitated. Why did Yuan Shao and others plan to gather more fierce generals and a large number of heroes from all directions, so that they all led troops to the capital and threatened Empress Dowager He, so that Empress He agreed to kill all eunuchs. β
So He Jin ignored the advice of Chen Lin and others, and ordered the conscription of volunteers from all departments into Beijing. Dong Zhuo thought that he had already received He Jin's order, and no longer waited for the main army, but led the troops straight to Luoyang! β
Chen Long couldn't help but fall to the back of the seat, thinking that it was really better to be a human being, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong at this time, he had planned carefully for a few months in vain, and he wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop and seize Chang'an, since then there has been no rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan in history, but I didn't expect that God would not give me a chance, Dong Zhuo had already led his troops straight to Luoyang, and he could not stop it, and the famous Dong Zhuo rebellion was just around the corner.
It turned out that the contradiction between his relative He Jin and the eunuch group intensified, and Jian Shuo and Zhao Zhong conspired to kill He Jin, and finally it was uncontrollable. Jian Shuo planned to kill He when he entered the palace, but under the hint of Jian Shuo Sima Pan Yin, He Jin said that he was not spared from illness.
He Jin knew that the eunuch was the common evil of the world, and hated Jian Shuo for plotting to harm him, so he secretly arranged to kill the eunuch. Yuan Shao also had a plan for a long time, so that He Jin's personal guest Zhang Jin persuaded He Jin to say: "The Huangmen has been in power for a long time, and he has committed adultery with the Empress Dowager Changle, so the general should select virtuous talents, rectify the world, and eliminate harm for the country." He Jin thinks he is right. The ancestors of the Yuan family are forty-three dukes, favored and noble, and their protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and they are supported by people at home. Yuan Shao is good at raising soldiers, heroic people are willing to be used by him, and resourceful people Feng Ji, He Hao, etc., become confidants with them. Xun You also pretended to stoop under Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, He Jin's younger brother He Miao was heavily bribed by the eunuch group, and often revealed the news to the eunuch party, and several plans were sabotaged.
Jian Shuo became more and more suspicious and uneasy, and wrote to Zhao Zhong and others, who were in charge of the Zhongchang Guard, and said: "The general's brother is in power, and now he is plotting with the people of the world to kill those who are close to the emperor, and eliminate us people, just because I am in command of the forbidden army, so I hesitate for the time being." Now it is time to close down the Cabinet and hunt it down urgently. β
Guo Sheng, the regular servant, is a fellow villager of He Jin in the same county, Queen He and He Jin's noble fortune, and the eunuch Guo Sheng contributed and helped. Therefore, Guo Sheng trusted He's family, so he discussed with Zhao Zhong and others, did not follow Jian Shuo's strategy, and handed Jian Shuo's letter to He Jin. He Jin ordered the Yellow Gate to arrest Jian Shuo, behead him, and lead his garrison.
Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin again: "In the past, Dou Wu wanted to kill his inner pet but was victimized because what he said leaked out, and the five battalions and hundreds of officials obeyed the eunuchs and were afraid of the eunuchs. Now the general has such an important position as a general, the brothers command the strong army together, and the subordinate generals are all handsome and famous, willing to do their best to report their lives, the thing is to master, this is the time for God to help. The general should eliminate the harm for the world and make a name for future generations. β
He Jinshen thought so, that is, he made a plan with Yuan Shao, and told Queen He about the plan. Queen He didn't listen and said: "The eunuchs rule the forbidden provinces, from ancient times to the present, the old rules of the Han family cannot be abolished. "He Jin can't violate the queen's will, Yuan Shao thinks that the eunuchs are close to the emperor and give orders in and out, if they are not all eliminated now, they must be harmed in the future.
Empress He's mother, Wu Yangjun and He Miao, accepted bribes from various eunuchs many times, knew that He Jin was going to kill them, and told Empress He many times that Empress He wanted them to protect them. He also said: "The general is good at killing cronies on the left and right, and the autocratic power is weak to the emperor." Empress He gradually doubted that this was indeed the case.
Some of the eunuchs have been around the emperor for decades, and they are the princes and nobles, and the internal and external collusion is extremely consolidated. He Jinxin is in charge of important tasks, and he has always been afraid of them, although he has a big name outside, he can't make a decision in his heart, so things can't be decided for a long time. Yuan Shao and others planned to gather more fierce generals and a large number of heroes from all directions, so that they all led troops to the capital and threatened Queen He, and He Jin finally agreed. Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, advised: "If the deer is released, it must not be caught." As the saying goes: catch a bird blindfolded. Small things cannot be deceived by will, let alone national affairs, how can they be obtained by deception. Now the general is always mighty, and he has the power to control the army, and the dragon and the tiger are stepping forward, high or low, all in your heart. It's like burning your hair on a stove, what's the problem? It is in line with the Tao, contrary to the scriptures, and is obedient to heaven and man. Abandon sharp weapons and look for foreign aid. When the soldiers gather together, the strong are the strongest, which is what is said to be done upside down, and the handle is given to others, and the merit will never be achieved, and it will become a step of chaos and evil in vain. He Jin refused to listen.
He Miao said to He Jin: "At the beginning, we came all the way from Nanyang, and we all relied on the palace to get rich because of poverty. The affairs of the country are not easy! If the poured water cannot be recovered, it should be carefully considered and friendly with the palace. When He Jin heard this, he was even more hesitant in his heart.
Yuan Shao was worried that He Jin would change his mind, so he threatened him: "The situation of combining with each other has been revealed, if things are not done, something will happen, what is the general waiting for, why not decide early?" He Jin then used Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of the school, held the talisman, and ordered it to be broken; Engaged in Zhonglang Wang Yun for Henan Yin.
Yuan Shao sent Luoyang military officials to monitor the eunuchs, and ordered Dong Zhuo and others to gallop up. As soon as the order reached Chang'an, don't intercept it by Jia Xu, what kind of sensitive person is Jia Xu? Immediately, he sniffed out the opportunity for Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing to plunder power. So the information was quickly transmitted to Dong Zhuo of Shangluoshan, and Dong Zhuo's army quickly dispatched and went straight to Luoyang to fight for the power of the world.
After hearing the cause and effect, Long Chen let out a heavy breath and said, "The chaos in the Han family has begun!" I couldn't help but feel confused, and looked at Guo Jia in a daze.
Zhou Budo frowned and said nothing, and Zhao Yun and the others also looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia was the first to calm down from the shock, slowly got up, and arched his hand: "Lord, it doesn't matter whether you hide the soldiers or not. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to take Chang'an quickly! β
