Chapter 198: Negotiation

Cheng Yuanzhi was too lazy to listen to Jian Shuo's shouting, turned around, stared at Zhang Rang with cold eyes, directly took over the baton of command, and gave Zhang Rang an order:

"Zhang Zhong is always servant, Jian Shuo has been punished, whether he should be punished or not, his own general decides. Now that the forbidden army has no leader, it is like a plate of scattered sand, and Zhang Zhongchang is also asked to temporarily take the position of commander of the forbidden army, and wait for the situation in the palace to be stable, or when there is another appointment, then make a decision. ”

Zhang Rang was already so frightened that his soul was almost gone, and he couldn't imagine that these generals, whether it was Cheng Yuanzhi or He Jin, launched a ruthless attack, it was so terrifying, Zhang Rang was just a eunuch, and he usually used the holy power of the Son of Heaven to be powerful and blessed, and when it was really time to do it, Zhang Rang would definitely have to admit it.

"Okay, okay, just follow Sikong's orders." Zhang Rang was resigned, and agreed vigorously, for fear that when Dian Wei finished throwing Jian Shuo, as soon as he turned around, even Zhang Rang was thrown out of the palace.

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't embarrass Zhang Rang anymore, an old eunuch who is greedy for money, as long as the forbidden army is not chaotic and He Jin is still blocked at the door, then there is still something to talk about, I am not afraid that things will collapse, after all, if it really fights, He Jin's army and the forbidden army in the palace will die more and less, but secondly, if someone sets fire and burns the entire palace, it will be a pity.

For more than 400 years of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that the good things left by every Han emperor are in this palace.

Cheng Yuanzhi came to the palace gate guarded by the forbidden army, looked outside through the crack in the door, and found that He Jin, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were at the palace gate, probably worried about whether the palace gate would be beaten, or not.

Fight it, I'm afraid that I will have a bad reputation and be accused of rebellion, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, I have to be afraid and even hold a grudge, after all, there is such a thing as storming the palace, once there is a second time, it is easy to get addicted, who doesn't want to be the emperor.

If you don't fight, you feel that you have lost face, and you will make a big move, and you will pull so many soldiers and horses in a hurry, and the palace gate will be blocked, so you will go back in disgrace, and you have to show the soldiers of the three armies a joke.

"General, can you come forward and answer? There are important things to discuss in this department, and I am annoyed to see the general. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi called He Jin across a palace gate, the reason why he didn't talk to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but talked directly with He Jin, Cheng Yuanzhi was thinking that He Jin was always Queen He's brother and Liu Wei's uncle, and he didn't want to have a chicken and egg fight, so he didn't dare to come nonsense.

As soon as He Jin heard Cheng Yuanzhi's voice, he immediately felt a little displeased, this Cheng Yuanzhi revealed a trace of weirdness from beginning to end, it was difficult to distinguish whether he was an enemy or a friend.

If you want to say that Cheng Yuanzhi took refuge in the eunuchs, Cheng Yuanzhi gave the head of the Yellow Turban Thief's first horn to He Jin, and took the initiative to make friends with He Jin, and even planned to give the seized thieves to He Jin.

To say that Cheng Yuanzhi took refuge in He Jin, it seems that he is very close to the eunuch, first spent money to buy an official from Zhang Rang, and now he even appeared in the palace at the critical moment when Liu Hong, the son of heaven, died, and had to make He Jin guess again and again, secretly doubting Cheng Yuanzhi's camp and position.

"General Ben is here, what does Cheng Sikong have to say, might as well say it directly? Since Cheng Sikong is in the palace, the general advises Cheng Sikong to open the palace gate quickly, so as not to set Cheng Sikong as a rebel and rebel against the party when the general leads the troops into the palace, and hopes that Cheng Sikong will do it himself. ”

Most of the real bigwigs decide the winners and losers through negotiations, and they win or lose, which is nothing more than constantly testing each other's bottom line, and then reaching an unspeakable deal, and finally achieving their respective goals.

Those who use knives and guns, those are short-sighted people like Jian Shuo and Cao Cao, who have nothing, and they can get a great fortune if they fight hard, and they won't get anything if they don't fight.

"Well, the general, look, the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, the rebellious minister and thief Jian Shuo has been captured by this company. Ben Sikong has ordered his fierce generals to throw Jian Shuo from the palace gate, which can be regarded as a welcome gift to the general. General, this matter in the palace is a foreign minister, so it is not easy to say much or interfere. ”

"Just came out of the general's mansion today, Zhang Zhongchang summoned Ben Sikong into the palace, saying that there was chaos in Youzhou, so that Ben Sikong received the edict and was ordered to ask for thieves, so this Sikong happened to be at the right time, seeing Jian Shuo regardless of the overall situation, this Sikong was unbearable, and he was unwilling to let the eunuch Jian Shuo mess up the palace, so he shot and captured Jian Shuo. General, do you know this office? This Sikong has always been loyal and patriotic, and his views are very consistent with those of the general and Zhang Zhongchang. ”

"It's better for the general to withdraw the army to the camp first, leaving only the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and now the commander of the forbidden army in the palace is temporarily served by Zhang Zhongchang, and after the general enters the palace, he will discuss and decide, so that the palace gate can be kept unobstructed, and the opportunity to fight for thieves will not be missed."

Cheng Yuanzhi said a lot, he was afraid that the butcher He Jin would have a tendon in his head, and if he couldn't think of it, he would have to storm the palace gate, and then he would pull the calf.

As soon as Cheng Yuanzhi finished speaking, Dian Wei just pulled Jian Shuo to the city wall of the palace gate, pushed it, and then kicked it over, kicking Jian Shuo directly out of the city wall and smashing it in front of He Jin's war horse.

The city wall of the palace gate, the height is high, it is about five meters, and Jian Shuo itself is still a little forceful, when he fell, he broke out the potential and instinct to survive, and stepped on the city wall a few times out of thin air, although Jian Shuo slammed and smashed on the mud ground, but in fact, there was no danger to life, just some internal injuries.

For a while, Jian Shuo couldn't die.

When Yuan Shao saw Jian Shuo, he hurriedly stepped forward, took out the long sword and put it on Jian Shuo's neck, and at the same time scolded Cao Cao not to mess around and not to approach Jian Shuo.

Cao Cao could only sigh, when Jian Shuo flew out just now, Cao Cao recognized it, sneaked around, secretly picked up the knife and walked over, thinking that a knife would result in Jian Shuo, first pull out his enemy and then speak, but unfortunately Yuan Shao saw it, took the first step, and arrested Jian Shuo.

A living thief's head is worth more than a dead human head.

He Jin fixed his eyes and saw that the person who flew down from the city wall was really the one who was ashamed to say that he wanted to support the prince Liu Xie, Cheng Yuanzhi's words were true, and it was indeed a generous gift.

But after winning Jian Shuo, the palace door is still closed.

"Cheng Sikong, if the general withdraws his troops and scatters his troops and horses, you will open the palace gate, is this true?"

If the soldiers and horses of the four departments of Luoyang are withdrawn and only their own soldiers and horses are retained, the army blocked at the palace gate will have to be reduced by at least eighty percent.

He Jin only had 2,000 soldiers and horses urgently assembled by his subordinate Wu Kuang from the general's mansion, while Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were gone except for their own 500 subordinates.

If the troops are really withdrawn, the number will not be advantageous, and the forbidden army still has palace walls to defend.

"General, this is a man and a worker, he should speak a letter and never break his word."
