Chapter 214: The Chaos After Dawn
A night of chaotic fighting, the flames of war covered every corner of the capital, shouting killing, fighting, horses' hooves, and screams...... This converging war sonata made the entire capital, from the civil and military officials to the peddlers, uneasy.
But the night will always pass, and the sound of war will disappear.
The sky finally dawned.
The cold rain, which had been raining for a whole day and a night, gradually stopped.
Although there is no sun in the sky, the dark clouds have dispersed, and the darkness shrouded in the sky over the sun has gradually dispersed.
The chaotic battle in Luoyang City gradually disappeared.
The western suburbs of Luoyang.
It is only about twenty miles away from the Upper West City Gate, and there is a plain land.
This place is called Sunset Pavilion.
The sunset pavilion is the place where the sunset gathers, I heard that the sunset here is very beautiful, and you can see the scenery of the burning clouds, so it is called the sunset pavilion, and the sunset pavilion is the place where the secretary of the sun leaves Beijing to say goodbye.
A stone pavilion stands on the top of the mountain, the surrounding is empty, condescending, connecting the four roads, under the staggered road, standing in the center, extending in all directions, there are rivers passing through around, the water source is sufficient, it is very suitable for soldiers and horses to camp in the village.
After a tired army of soldiers and horses left Luoyang City in a hurry, they were already exhausted and unable to hurry, so they camped here and waited for the situation in Luoyang Capital to change.
Outside the stone pavilion, the soldiers were back to back, in circles, resting, and the doctors in the army were walking in all directions, bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
In the stone pavilion, the surrounding linen cloth is covered, and the ground has been covered with bamboo mats, a desk, and a pot of wine.
He Jin's burly body knelt in the middle, his robe was quite messy, and the hair between his forehead was also very messy, looking a little messy, he suddenly took a sip of hot wine, and then smoothed the grievances in his heart: "A certain family He Jin, is a general of the dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand people, but one thought, living in such a situation, hahaha, Your Majesty, I am responsible for you, and you are also responsible for me!" ”
He was originally a powerful minister in power.
Overnight, he became a rebel minister, and everyone was punished, not allowed to be in the world, not to be allowed in the court.
This huge contrast made him a little uncomfortable.
And all this is because of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven's methods made him shudder, even if the Son of Heaven died, the smile before his death was still echoing in his mind, and the imprint was deep in the bone marrow, I am afraid he would remember it in his sleep.
"Brother, the queen mother and the crown prince have settled down, and there will be no shortage of food and clothing!"
"Hmm!"
He Jin nodded, and his expression became cold: "What about our casualties?" ”
"Father, just counted!" He Xian, the middle marquis of the Northern Army, arched his hand and said.
"Say!"
"Of the five captains of the Northern Army, three were killed in battle, only two remained, and the commander of the military marquis was even more heavily wounded, and there were only 12,000 sons and men left under his command!"
"Click!"
When He Jin heard this, the wine cup in his hand was crushed stiffly, and a dark color burst out in his pupils: "I have tens of thousands of Northern Army children, and now there are less than one-thirds left, damn it!" ”
In the first battle of Luoyang, he lost the first move, lost his name, lost his morale, and the army was in turmoil, even if he forcibly broke through with his might, he also suffered heavy losses.
"Where's the West Garden Elite Soldiers?"
"Cao Cao has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and Yuan Shu has 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands!"
"Kong Zhang!"
"In!"
"You go to appease the two of them on my behalf, and now at this moment, you must let the two of them rest assured!" He Jin said in a deep voice.
At this moment, the elite soldiers of the West Garden are relied on.
"No!"
Chen Lin, as a strategist, followed closely when he broke through, and he immediately went down to appease Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.
"Brother, although we tens of thousands of soldiers gather here in the Sunset Pavilion, most of our weapons have been lost, there is no food and grass supply, and we are all dry food for a few days, and we will run out of food in three days, and we may not be able to carry it in five days!"
He Miao said worriedly.
"Send people to collect grain around, if there is no around, go to Gucheng, go to Pingyin, you must find a supply of grain and grass!"
"Yes!"
He Miao smiled bitterly.
"Shuda, I know it's difficult, I have to work for you, we have no other way now, the name of killing the king, the world knows, there is no way back to Luoyang, the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City are very strict in defending us, not chasing, it is a lack of soldiers and horses, if Ding Yuan gathers the main force of the state, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape a battle!"
He Jin smiled a little self-deprecatingly and asked.
"Brother really killed His Majesty?"
He Miao asked suddenly.
"I said I didn't kill, do you believe it?" He Jin smiled bitterly.
"Whether I believe it or not, the world has already believed it!"
He Miao replied.
"So we only have one way to go to the dark now!" He Jin's expression became resolute: "Support the crown prince to ascend the throne and force Luoyang City by force!" ”
"Supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne?"
He Miao's pupils burst out with a gleam, and he was a little hesitant: "But brother, now that the situation in the capital, how can we let the prince rightfully ascend the throne!" ”
"The most important thing is to have enough soldiers!"
The corners of He Jin's mouth raised slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "After thinking about it, there is only one way!" “
"How?"
"Immediately order, summon Dong Zhuo to lead the troops into Beijing, there are soldiers from Xiliang, can help the prince ascend the throne, then recapture the capital, can establish a dynasty, convict and blame, everything can be overturned and restarted, the world is still in our hands!"
"Dong Zhuo?"
When He Miao heard this, his expression was shocked, and his eyes lit up: "If I remember correctly, he is the pastor of the state, but he has not yet taken office, and has been stranded in Hedong on the grounds that Baibo Yellow Turban and the Huns blocked him, which is only more than ten days away from us, and if it goes smoothly, it will be there in half a month!" ”
"Dong Zhongying has a heavy army in his hands, and he may not be willing to respect the order, who will summon him?"
He Jin hesitated.
"I heard that Dong Zhuo's brother, Dong Min is in the Northern Army and is the captain of Fengche!" He Miao said: "You can let him go and give the order in person!" ”
"Good!"
He Jin was immediately overjoyed and said, "You immediately arrange for him to go to Dong Zhuo in person to summon him, so that the action can enter Beijing quickly!" ”
"General, no!"
At this moment, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao came together and stopped him.
"Originally, Mengde, why not?" He Jin frowned.
"General, when the soldiers and horses of the foreign domain enter Beijing, the rules of the ancestors will be broken, and above the court, everyone will impeach the general, and it will be difficult for the general to gain a foothold in the world, and this dangerous thing must not be done!" Cao Cao arched his hand and said.
"Also, general, Dong Zhuo is a tiger wolf in Xiliang, if after entering Beijing, he has a heavy army and does not respect orders, wouldn't the general lead the wolf into the room!" Yuan Shao also said.
"What you say, you don't know!"
He Jin said in a deep voice: "But now we are desperate, only the elite soldiers of Xiliang can break the siege, and the crown prince ascends the throne, which is orthodox, do you have to wait until the ten permanent servants support Liu Xie'er to ascend the throne, and mess up the world?" ”
"General, this matter can still be discussed with Luoyang, but once the soldiers and horses of the foreign domain enter Beijing, the world will be chaotic, please think twice!"
The two looked at each other bitterly and said.
"I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore!"
He Jin said toughly.
A summons order, with the queen's phoenix seal on it, as well as the prince's Donggong seal, made Dong Zhuo, known as the Great Demon King of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the elite Xiliang soldiers and horses under his command naturally rushed to the capital.
……
……
In the city of Luoyang.
Last night's battle had ended, but the imperial capital was still under martial law, and one by one clear notices were pasted down, stipulating that every household was closed to customers, and was not allowed to walk on the street, otherwise it would be regarded as a chaotic person and directly killed.
In the North Palace, the soldiers of the Southern Army were cleaning up the battlefield.
"Sima Fang!"
"In!"
"All the soldiers of the Luoyang Mansion are out, and we must maintain order in the capital!" Yuan Feng was very busy, he was busy cleaning up the mess, He Jin withdrew from Luoyang, and Luoyang is now in charge.
"No!"
Sima Fang took the order and left.
"The situation is unpredictable, Your Majesty is dead, He Jin is reversed, how should I stabilize this dynasty!"
Yuan Feng naturally couldn't sleep all night, and even now he had no intention of resting, he constantly reviewed the news from all directions, as well as some news in Luoyang City, which were gathered by him.
"Lord Sikong, Lord Taiwei is back!" A guard came to report.
"Let him in!"
"No!"
The escort led Captain Lu Zhi in.
"Captain Lu!" Yuan Feng gave up.
"Yuan Sikong!" Lu Zhi returned the gift.
The two of them knew that the change last night, the general He Jin had lost the foundation of the imperial court, and the ten permanent servants were even more chased like a dog, and the court was the era when their scholars were the masters.
Among the scholars, the family of gate valves, mainly Yuan Feng, Qingliu Hanmen, and Lu Zhi Wang Yun.
Basically, they have the final say.
But first they have to solve this mess.
The Son of Heaven is dead.
The great general He Jin became a traitor.
The soldiers and horses of Luoyang are fighting.
This chaotic situation will surely make the people of the court bright.
The world can't be chaotic yet.
"I don't know where Taiwei Lu can intercept the crown prince from here?" Yuan Feng asked.
"After He Jinbing went out of the West Gate, he traveled all the way to the west, and now he is stationed in the Sunset Pavilion, the Sunset Pavilion is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and my soldiers and horses are not half of him, so it is difficult!" Lu Zhi shook his head.
After all, He Jin is a general, he has been in charge of the army for many years, and he is not under him in terms of marching strategy, and he has a brave style, and if he is indomitable, he can't stop it at all.
"He Jin kills the king, the world will know, and the world will inevitably be brilliant at that time, if the prince cannot successfully ascend the throne, the world will be in chaos!"
Yuan Feng said gloomily.
"I don't know!" Lu Zhi said: "But if you want to regain the crown prince from He Jin, I'm afraid it will be difficult, if you can have the prince association to sit firmly in the capital, there is still a chance to stabilize the court, slowly figure it out!" ”
"Zhang Rang and the prince went out of the north gate, and now I'm afraid I have to go to the north!" Yuan Fengdao: "I have already asked the highway to lead troops to intercept and kill, and take advantage of the situation to solve the tumor of the imperial court of the Ten Standing Servants!" ”
"I also asked Ding Yuan to divide his troops to pursue, and I want to recover the Prince's Association!" Lu Zhidao.
"I only hope that Ding Yuan and Yuan Shu can stop him now!"
Yuan Feng said.
"The northern boundary, not far from Shangdang, I have a law!" Lu Zhi said suddenly.
"What's the solution?"
"Let Ding Yuan gather and merge the state army into Beijing!" Lu Zhi said: "From the north, you can go straight to the capital!" ”
The troops in his hands are not enough to maintain order in the capital, and it is difficult to completely defeat He Jin, so he can only rely on Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan has the elite northern Xinjiang and state army, and if his soldiers and horses enter Beijing, he can stabilize the dynasty.
"Ding Jianyang is credible?" Yuan Feng squinted slightly.
"That's the only way!" Lu Zhi said: "The pattern of the capital is already a chaotic situation, if we want to support the new monarch, we must destroy the rebel thief He Jin, He Jin has soldiers and horses in his hands, we are helpless, only to borrow the soldiers and horses of the northern Xinjiang!" ”
"The entry of foreign feudal soldiers into Beijing will lead to turmoil in the world!"
Yuan Feng shook his head, still disagreeing.
