In front of the majestic Deyang Gate of the North Palace, the Zhu Gate was opened, and a tall figure walked straight out.

In front of the North Palace, thousands of officers and men of the Bohai Navy performed a uniform majestic military salute and shouted: "General! ”

"Why didn't you withdraw as planned?" Nan Ying looked at his subordinates who were standing still, and couldn't help but sink his face and said, "Where is Gao Feng?" ”

"The last general!" Gao Feng's anxious voice came from behind him.

"What's going on?" Nan Ying didn't look back and shouted, "What about Shi Hou? ”

"General, the last general is incompetent!" Gao Feng knelt on one knee and said in a low voice: "I searched all over the North Palace, but I didn't find Shi Hou!" ”

"What?" Nan Ying trembled, he turned around like a whirlwind, and said angrily, "What are you doing? Did the Queen Mother put Shi Hou under house arrest? ”

"No, it's not like that!" Gao Feng said in a panic: "The Queen Mother and Dong Hou are also gone, just an hour ago, Zhang Rang sent someone to pick up the Queen Mother and the two princes respectively!" ”

"Zhang Rang? What does he want to do? Nanying slowly clenched his palms into a fist, and said, "Where did he take people?" ”

"It should be Nangong!" Gao Feng said: "There is no change in the gates of the North Palace, they are from the Fudao!" ”

"Ridiculous!" Nan Ying roared angrily: "Ben Jiang has obviously blocked the North Palace, how can Zhang Rang's people come and go freely? ”

"It was Zhang Feng who personally brought people here!" Gao Feng's voice became weaker.

"What? Zhang Feng! Nan Ying's body couldn't help shaking, and he was stunned: "Brother Feng, are you and I finally going to be strangers?" ”

"I don't blame you!" He let out a long sigh: "Zhang Feng and Ben General were like brothers that day, if he only brought a few followers, under the pretense of entering the palace to find me, it would be inconvenient for you to stop ......"

When he said the word "block", Nan Ying's voice seemed to be suddenly blocked, and his eyes changed.

"That's not right!" He blurted out and shouted: "Zhang Rang is obviously a pro-Dong faction, how could Shi Hou's guards let Zhang Feng pick him up without hindrance?" ”

On the huge palace gate square. There was silence for a while.

"It's over!" Nanying's face suddenly changed drastically: "We are all fooled!" ”

"Quick! Go gather people and enter Nangong! He stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife from the sheath: "We must snatch out Shi Hou......"

"General!" Xu Huang rode his horse from outside the square, his face changed greatly and he walked in front of Nan Ying, and said in a suppressed voice: "Dong Zhuo's army has reached thirty miles outside Luoyang City!" ”

"So fast...... It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven! Nan Ying only felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he looked at the huge Zigong steadily carried out by more than ten subordinates behind him, and muttered: "Your Majesty, my brother is going to be ashamed of you!" ”

"The whole army ......" He took a deep breath and issued a military order in a heavy tone rarely seen in his life: "Immediately withdraw to Xufu!" ”

The footsteps rumbled, the fiery snakes meandered, and more than 2,000 Han troops were running fast on the long street. Several Han generals with armor in armor couldn't help but scold, trying to speed up the soldiers.

He Jin and Yuan Shao sat upright on their horses, their faces full of solemnity. Although they had broken through the outer wall of Dong Chong's mansion half an hour ago, the battle in the mansion was so fierce that they couldn't wait for Dong Chong to be captured, so they couldn't wait to divide their troops to attack.

"I wonder how Mende's progress is?" He Jin said with a worried face: "We actually underestimated Dong Chong...... Who would have thought that the army that swept away Jian Shuo was just between the backhands, but it was this Dong Chong, who was inconspicuous on weekdays, but forced us to disrupt the deployment! ”

"Don't worry, General!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "The Dong Rebellion Yu Party on the periphery has almost been wiped out. With the strength of less than a thousand people in the palace, Dong Zhong was no match for Meng De's 2,000 soldiers and horses in any case...... He's just a trapped beast! What the last general is really worried about is the ......"

"Report!" A cavalryman galloped in, not waiting for the horse to stop. flew down and knelt steadily beside the road, showing his healthy hands.

"General Yu, Captain of the Military Academy!" He said in a voice that was just enough for the two officials to hear: "There is an urgent report in the palace... In the bedroom of the Son of Heaven in the North Palace, there was a lot of crying. The hearts of the people are in turmoil, and some people say that the Son of Heaven has died ......."

"What?" He Jin and Yuan Shao were shocked at the same time, and said in unison: "Is the news true?" ”

"It should be correct!" The cavalryman said again: "A large number of Bohai naval officers and soldiers have gathered outside the North Palace. They have even prepared a chariot and a ......"

"The Son of Heaven has really died!" Yuan Shao was surprised: "The edict of the Son of Heaven ordered Nanying to be fully responsible for the aftermath of the death is true....... this is going to be a secret funeral!" ”

He Jin was also moved: "Even the ceremonies of the big funeral, the small funeral, the funeral of the ancestors, and the memorial service are completely ignored...... It's an ancient anecdote! ”

"Not good!" Yuan Shao suddenly changed color and said: "The Bohai Navy gathers in the North Palace, its combat power is not something our army can resist, once Nanying controls Shi Hou, how can you and I be good?" ”

"General!" He suddenly reined in his horse and said, "We must immediately mobilize all our military forces and take the North Palace directly...... We must take advantage of the fact that Nanying is busy with the funeral of the Son of Heaven and go all out to snatch out Shi Hou! Someone's coming......"

"Slow at first!" He Jin heard that Yuan Shao wanted to reorganize the army, but he calmed down, he showed a confident smile, waved his hand and said: "The whereabouts of our army remain the same, and they still arrive at Nangong!" ”

"But what about Shi Hou?" Yuan Shao was shocked, and he turned his head to look at He Jin in disbelief: "Do you ignore him?" However, what is the point of you and I desperately weakening the Queen Mother's henchmen for several days? ”

"I misunderstood!" He Jin said lightly: "Who said that Shi Hou is still in the North Palace?" ”

"Shi Hou, not in the North Palace?" Yuan Shao shook again, and he lost his voice and said, "He, is he actually in Nangong?" How is this possible, I don't know at all! ”

"Ben Jiang has ordered someone to find an opportunity to invite Shi Hou to Nangong, not only that!" He Jin finally couldn't hide the smug smile: "It's the Queen Mother and Dong Hou, who are also in the South Palace now...... How Ying Yang Zhonglang will turn the North Palace upside down, you and I only need to control the South Palace, and then block the resumption between the South Palace and the North Palace, and we can make a big deal! ”

"In the beginning, without further ado! Ben will lead the cavalry first, and you will lead the infantry behind! In his long laughter, he shouted: "Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, Zhang Yang!" Speed up and go straight to Nangong! ”

Several generals agreed in unison, commanding a large group of cavalry to rush towards Nangong like a rolling iron stream.

Looking at He Jin taking the lead, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be stunned, his face pale.

"What's wrong?" In the dim light of the torches, several figures gathered together. Quietly: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Humph! What a butcher, what a deep calculation! The corner of Yuan Shao's mouth pulled out a fierce smile: "Seeing that it is about to be completed, did you finally say that you slipped away...... I underestimate you! ”

"What? What the hell is going on? Several people whispered at the same time.

"Shi Hou actually appeared in Nangong, and the Queen Mother and Dong Hou were also ...... Don't forget, who is in charge of Nangong today? Zhang Rang! Yuan Shao's face was full of terrifying murderous intent: "If you can't ensure Shi Hou's safety, He Jinyan dares to move him to Nangong...... What does this mean? The so-called parting of ways between Zhang Rang and He Jin, the sons and daughters, was a scam from beginning to end! ”

"Taking advantage of the contradiction between supporting Shi Hou or Dong Hou, pretending to make a public break, but since then he has all the inside information of the two opposing groups, he can know himself and know the initiative of the other...... What a plan! "That's it. Yuan Shao's eyes were about to erupt into flames: "We were all kept in the dark!" The hatred between Zhang Rang and us is known to the world....... next step, these two traitors will attack us! ”

"Lord, please speak! What are we going to do? A dark shadow whispered.

"Hmph, I didn't want to show up so quickly, you forced me to ......." Yuan Shao sneered, he raised his hand: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you immediately ride a fast horse and rush to Nangong in advance, and then ......"

In the darkness, several people gathered in a group and whispered, and soon scattered and left.

Before Nangong. The armor is tight, and the halberd is like a forest.

He Jince immediately stepped forward and shouted towards the city: "Where is the general of the forbidden army? Ben will have something to do in the palace, open the door immediately! ”

"Alas! It's the general himself! "On the palace gate. One of the generals shouted: "Aren't you all going to open the door quickly?" ”

He Jin listened to the familiar voice of the man, and raised his voice: "Who is in the city?" But Yuan Highway? ”

"It's the last general!" Under the afterglow of the torches in the city, Yuan Shu showed a modest and kind face, and said happily: "The general is finally here....... but it is a pity that the last general is on duty in the forbidden palace." I can't even take part in your counterinsurgency battle! What a shame in this life! ”

"Okay!" He Jin was overjoyed and said: "There is a highway here in Nangong, and it will be as stable as Mount Tai...... Rest assured that the Son of Heaven has died. Just wait for the new king, you are also a hero of the country! ”

As he spoke, the huge palace door slowly opened with the sound of "squeak, squeak", and He Jin waved behind him: "Someone! Enter the palace with Ben! ”

"Great General, slow down!" Yuan Shu rushed down from the city and stopped in front of He Jin.

Looking at He Jin's puzzled eyes, he lowered his voice and said, "General, please forgive the last general for being rude...... How can the forbidden palace bring a large number of soldiers and horses into it? It was the day before yesterday that Nan Han Yang carried the three-faced Son of Heaven token, and repelled the majesty of the Queen Mother on the spot, but he didn't dare to lead the troops into the palace, and only brought twelve eagle generals......"

He simply leaned into He Jin's ear and whispered: "The Southern Han is scheming like the sea...... Now that our victory is in sight, the general does not want to be at this critical moment and still tell the truth, right? ”

Although Yuan Shu's words were light, several of the henchmen and generals around He Jin heard it clearly, and several of them nodded together.

Wu Kuang, who had a heroic face, first arched his hand and said: "General, Yuan Highway is right!" If you rashly lead the troops into the palace tonight, it will be rumored to go out in the future, and the people of the world will fly short and long, which may be detrimental to the reputation of the general! ”

Zhang Zhang, who was dressed in the demeanor of a Confucian general, also nodded and said, "Not bad!" We are holding the banner of sweeping the side of the king, and this is the morale like a rainbow, and the direction is wavering...... If this blatant transgression is done again, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be shaken! ”

"General! Although more than half of Nangong's soldiers and horses are all Hu Benlang under the last general, but now that the situation is undecided, it is necessary to guard against it! Yuan Shu patted his chest and said angrily: "Please send a few elites to the palace first, and then the last general will send some soldiers and horses to accompany you to protect it, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"Yes! The words of the generals are indeed golden and jade! He Jin was obviously about to succeed, and he had no fear in his heart, he smiled and said: "It's still Yuan Highway who is old, just according to what you say!" ”

The sound of hooves behind him sounded again, but it was Yuan Shao who led the rear army to arrive.

He Jin looked at Yuan Shao, hesitated slightly, and shouted: "Yuan Benchu and all the generals are guarding the door, and the generals will personally lead a hundred guards into the palace!" ”

"No!" Yuan Shao was surprised: "How can a general take risks? Or bring more people......"

"Rest at the beginning! Ben will have his own measure, and wait for the good news! He Jin raised his hand backwards and walked into the palace gate without looking back.

"Congratulations to the General!" The generals shouted.

Under the firelight, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other, and they both saw a cruel smile in the depths of each other's pupils. (To be continued......)
