Section 270: Cleansing Luoyang
Yuan Jin looked at Liu Xie's hesitant appearance, remembered Yuan Kui's last entrustment to him, secretly made up his mind in his heart, looked at Liu Xie with firm eyes, and silently took out a dagger from his sleeve.
"What do you want to do?" The style of painting changed abruptly, Liu Xie looked at the dagger in Yuan Jin's hand, stumbled in fright, and fell back to his seat.
"The king, the Taifu went, the villain should have obeyed, but because of the Taifu's will, he was still breathing. Today's Taifu's words and things are all transferred to the king, at the east gate of Luoyang, there is the Taifu's former official duties, and the king can go safely; If the sky is bright, Guan Yan will definitely track it down to this point, and then the jade will be burned, the king will think about it, and the villain will go! With that, Yuan Jin plunged the dagger straight into his heart, and in the blink of an eye, Yuan Jin fell to the ground in pain and died.
Yuan Jin leaned over and fell in front of Liu Xie, a pool of black blood slowly flowed out of his heart, and after a while, a thick bloody gas filled the entire room. Liu Xie sat in his seat, looking at Yuan Jin's corpse with dull eyes, but his heart was surging: Yuan Jin may be right, Guan Yan must be investigated in this matter, although he is the king of Chen Liu, but in terms of strength and connections, he is far inferior to Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui is the fourth and third dukes, when the imperial prince is still like this, what will happen to him? Staying in Luoyang will sooner or later be harmed by Guan Yan, it is better to plan according to Yuan Kui, there is still a chance to ascend to the sky!
Liu Xie gently stroked the jade seal of the lower country, and his eyes became soft and warm, as if his father was caressing his son's forehead.
"Someone!" Liu Xie suddenly grabbed the jade seal of Chuanguo and put it in his arms, and shouted outside the door: "Prepare the horse immediately!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, dozens of good horses galloped out of the palace of Chen Liuwang and went straight to the east gate of Luoyang.
When this matter was reported to Ji Ling, half an hour had passed, and Ji Ling immediately sent fifty elite cavalry to chase after him, but the incident happened suddenly, and the night was dark, and the fifty cavalry went east to Luoyang to chase for two hours without seeing any figure, so they had to give up and return to the city.
The next day, the hussar general's mansion chief Shi Xizhi entered the court to play the rebellion of Yuan Kui, the son of tomorrow, Huang Fu Song, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and other old ministers participated together, the Han Emperor Liu Wei was furious, but read the old ministers of the three dynasties of Yuan Kui, and had committed suicide, taking away his title, and burying it with the rites of the common people. Xi Zhicai wrote a book and said that the three tribes should be wiped out. Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan and others spoke right, but Cai Yong did not speak, and Xi Zhicai said angrily: The night attack on the Hussar General's Mansion is a conspiracy to rebel, how can it be forgiven? Immediately ordered Ju Yi to mobilize 3,000 Xiandeng soldiers to garrison various places in Luoyang, and then another Ji Ling mobilized 800 Jin Wuwei to arrest Yuan Kui, Wang Yun and other eleven families who jointly did things, and more than 1,000 people from their three clans, beheaded in the western suburbs of Luoyang.
According to the meaning of Huangfu Song and others, Yuan Kui and Wang Yun must be punished, but the three Yi clans are a bit excessive, not to mention that it is not just Yuan Kui and Wang Yun, this matter involves eleven families, thousands of people, such a big killing is only possible when Dong Zhuo is there, and now it has been quiet for a few years, and Luoyang is going through this turmoil, which Huangfu Song never wants to see.
If Guan Yan was in Luoyang, if Huang Fu Song opened his mouth, Guan Yan would definitely not be able to save his face, but now that Guan Yan is not here, Xi Zhicai, Fu Zhu, Ji Ling and others are all angry, no one cares about their old faces at all, and in a hurry, Huang Fu Song and others can only resign to understand their minds.
All this is in the eyes of Xi Zhicai, and it is also in his planning: Guan Yan is too benevolent, so that Yuan Kui's hidden danger can be taken advantage of, and now that he has grasped the handle, he must cleanse the opposition forces in Luoyang City!
Within a few days, the iron-blooded purge of Luoyang City had spread to all the states of the Han Dynasty, but the protagonist of this incident, Guan Yan, did not stop because he was running all the way, but he did not know anything about such important matters.
Seven days after setting off from Luoyang, Guan Yan and his entourage finally came to Youxian, a small county town two hundred miles south of Changsha City.
Youxian county is surrounded by mountains from east to west, the central floor is open to the north and south, it has the reputation of "the path of Heng, the gateway of the pond" in ancient times, it is the throat of Jingnan, Sun Jian is known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", so after entering Changsha, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sent his nephew Liu Pan to lead the troops here to prevent.
The small city of Youxian County, there is a place for the soldiers to fight, so there are only more than 1,000 households living here for a long time, the day has not yet fallen into the night, the gate of the city has been full of birds, and it is extremely deserted.
After some money, Guan Yan and his entourage entered the city smoothly and found an inn, Guan Yan inquired about Huang Zhong's residence from the shopkeeper and took Dian Wei in a hurry.
This Huang Zhong is a local general, but the place where he lives is extremely simple, if it weren't for the two armor handles at the door, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this is the place where a Han official is.
"May I ask if this is General Huang at home?" Guan Yan politely asked the gatekeeper forward.
This soldier is clever, seeing that although Guan Yan is dressed simply, he exudes an aura of superiority that cannot be hidden, coupled with the sword on his waist and the burly guard behind him, he is afraid that he is not an ordinary person, so he politely returned immediately: "My general Huang, I will go to the city defense every night before nightfall, and the son can come back to find him in a while." ”
"I see, I'm looking for it, thank you!" Guan Yan smiled and turned his head and walked towards the city gate.
After Guan Yan turned to leave, the soldier looked at the other soldier and said disdainfully: "This must be the son of the family sent by Jingzhou to come to inspect, hey, since the lord doesn't trust General Huang, I don't know why General Huang is still so hard-working, it's really strange!" ”
"Alas, alas, don't say a few words, let's stand at the post!" The other soldier, who was a little older, interrupted the other man's complaint, and the two sighed in unison, looked at each other, and then stood up again with their weapons.
"Who?" A team of people at the gate of the city stopped Guan Yan, who was about to walk up the city wall, and asked sharply.
Guan Yan smiled, he was used to "being domineering" in Luoyang, but now he forgot about it in Youxian.
"This military master, the junior brother has something important to ask to see General Huang, please let me know!"
"Hmph, how can General Huang be seen if you want to see it? Don't mess with this, or I'll get you arrested! A man who seemed to be the leader of these soldiers waved his hand at Guan Yan impatiently.
Hearing this, Dian Wei took a step forward, his huge body blocked part of the afterglow of the sunset, and he was full of evil energy, as if following Dian Weidi's figure and shrouded several soldiers in front of him.
"You...... You, what do you want to do? The leading soldier staggered back a few steps, hurriedly drew his blade, and looked at Dian Wei tremblingly.
Dian Wei didn't say a word, so powerful!
