Chapter 40 The White-headed Han Court Knife and Pen Officer

Gongsun Xun didn't lie, although he wasn't sure what the situation in Luozhong was, but when he returned to Lulongsai that day, he had already sent a good report to General He in Luozhong for the first time, and now he sent the results of Yan Rou's disposition.

This is not speculation, but just a step-by-step performance of duties.

Around the end of May, the first official news was sent to Luozhong through the official route, and Luoyang at this time was naturally caught in a new impasse.

Of course it will be in the deadlock.

In fact, since the death of that Spirit Emperor, the whole world has gradually changed.

Many people don't understand why the situation took a turn for the worse shortly after Emperor Ling's death? The answer is actually very simple, because Emperor Han Ling is too capable, the country was harmed by him like that, and everyone knows that he was the victim, but because of his stable identity as the Son of Heaven for more than ten years, he can't help it. Therefore, as soon as he died, the human heart instantly had a feeling of losing its shackles.

So, Dong Zhuo grabbed his soldiers and horses and did not take office; As a result, Liu Yan instigated Zhang Lu to cut off Hanzhong and divide Yizhou; So, as soon as Gongsun Xun returned to the division, he tore his face and cleaned up Liu Yu.

Correspondingly, Luozhong is also the same thing.

Dong Zhong died, the ten permanent servants turned against He, Jian Shuo was defeated, and the Empress Dowager Dong collapsed in Yongle Palace...... Only a month after the death of the Son of Heaven, the protective film he painstakingly built for the second son of the emperor completely died. But what's even more ironic is that He Jin didn't mean to do anything to the second son of the emperor himself at all, and it was actually only Dong Chong and Jian Shuo who threatened the authority of the He family from beginning to end.

In other words, the arrangement of the Spirit Emperor itself is the biggest problem, and the root is still in the Son of Heaven who is dead but not stiff.

Therefore, the problem now is actually within the He family, or there are some differences between He Jin and his family.

It must be known that the threat of the Dong family was solved and the authority of the He family was established, and then, the scholars naturally asked He Jin to fulfill his promise and kill the ten permanent servants, and He Jin has presided over the government for many years, and he knows very well the strange circle of scholars, eunuchs, and relatives, and also understands that scholars and eunuchs can only choose one of the two, plus relatives have always been defeated by eunuchs, so his position is very firm...... But at the same time, the Empress Dowager He, who was in control of the North Palace, and He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, were easily attracted by the eunuchs.

He Miao is not enough, the actual owner of the North Palace, the Empress Dowager He, is very helpless to protect the ten permanent servants, Rao is Yuan Shao, Xun You, Xun Yu, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Lu Zhi...... Wait, wait, wait, these people's intelligence plus one piece can explode dozens of times the Empress Dowager He, but at this time, in the face of a deep palace heroine, there is nothing to be done.

He Jin, who is an elder brother, is helpless.

So, there was no way, under the persuasion of everyone, He Jin no longer hesitated, and immediately summoned foreign troops into Luo according to the original plan!

Of course, at this time, it is definitely not that he is going to tear his face as soon as he comes up, and what He Yuan Alliance thinks at this time is to intimidate Empress Dowager He with foreign soldiers and horses and force the other party to comply......

That's right, everyone thought of tearing their faces and killing, but no one was really prepared. Don't look at He Jin and Gongsun Xun writing letters, talking about the Ninth Route Army, but in fact, it was just a so-called backup plan that could not be followed.

However, Gongsun Xun and Xi Zhong had discussed this matter, and they watched the fire from the other side, and they saw more clearly that it was inevitable that it would be difficult to follow the procedure at this time, and it was extremely difficult to maintain balance, and it was inevitable to tear up the face.

Everything went as planned, at the beginning of May, Yuan Shao was appointed as the lieutenant of the school, and the festival was closed; Wang Yun is Henan Yin; Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao also led their own troops to the vicinity of Luoyang, of which Qiao Mao was in Gong County in the east of Luoyang City, Ding Yuan was in Mengjin in the northwest, and Dong Zhuo was in Jiyang Pavilion in Henan County in the southwest.

One more thing to say here, Dong Zhuo is not so arrogant, after he came from Hangu Pass and marched to Xianyang Garden, which was only a few miles away from Luoyang City, He Jin sent a messenger, and his people honestly followed the order, and turned to Jiyang Pavilion with soldiers and horses to station.

It is thirty miles away from Luoyang City.

In short, except for a few innocuous small details, the soldiers and horses of the three routes generally showed no signs of being out of control, and they acted in full accordance with the instructions of He Jin, Yuan Kui and other Luozhong eunuchs who had already formed a de facto alliance...... That is, pretending not to obey the orders of the center, and scaring people under the banner of eunuchs, but in fact there is nothing out of line.

And if you really want to say anything out of line, it can only be Ding Yuan, the former assassin of Bingzhou, the current lieutenant of Wu Meng, actually burned Mengjin, the fire reflected for dozens of miles, and Luoyang Beigong could see it clearly, but he still did it according to orders, that is, he was ordered to scare the queen mother.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo made a very tacit understanding, and asked the Queen Mother to allow him to lead troops into Luo and kill Zhang Rang and others.

This means...... How so?

The effect was actually very effective, and even far exceeded He Jin's expectations...... Because this action like a bright knife reminded everyone that in the case that the Ten Standing Servants had betrayed Jian Shuo and the foreign soldiers had arrived, the eunuchs had actually lost the basis for armed resistance.

Empress Dowager He was frightened, and the eunuchs were also panicked and helpless, and even knelt down to He Jin on the Jiade Hall to beg for mercy.

The interesting part of politics is here, at this time, He Jin can directly order the guards to arrest people, but he just reprimanded the other party, and then only drove these people back to their respective homes in Luoyang!

Why?

General He doesn't want to punish eunuchs?

Of course not, when things come to this point, He Jin has only one way to punish the eunuch, otherwise he will face the anger of the clan, the scholars, and even the border generals! As early as a few years ago, Han Sui made it very clear that the situation in the world is getting worse and worse, and people in the world don't know what to do, so they can only go to the eunuch!

Is that General He stupid?

Maybe it's a bit stupid, but it's not without reason, in fact, He Jin just wants to wait a little longer.

And Gongsun Xun's good news came to Luoyang in such a strange stalemate.

"Dong Zhongying is a member of the Taifu (Yuan Kui) sect, Qiao Mao is a member of the party, and the sources of the Northern Army and the Xiyuan soldiers are too chaotic and unreliable...... The general was reluctant to punish the eunuch at this time, because he was afraid that the eunuch would cause turmoil at this time, but the Yuan family would be dominant. "In the evening of this day, in the former residence of Liu Kuan in Luoyang, Gongsun Yue, who had just sent Cao Cao away, was chatting with someone." That's why Cao Mengde said before that the general was waiting for someone! ”

"Waiting for the recruits he sent out?" Sitting beside Gongsun Yue was actually Tian Chou, who received Gongsun Xun's order halfway, and then led more than 100 people to Luoyang, and also had a good understanding of the situation in Luoyang, so after a little thought, he understood what was going on. Or did he see the good news from the prince today, and he was ready to wait for the prince a little longer? It must be known that giving up the eunuch at such a good time will inevitably lose people's hearts. ”

"You don't have to wait too long." Gongsun Yue replied calmly. Zitai didn't know, Yuan Shao and the others were extremely dissatisfied with this, and urged them three times, plus the situation was unexpectedly good, so the general had urgently sent people to recall the recruiters everywhere. As expected, within three or five days, Wang Kuang and Zhang Liao can return to Luoyang, and Zhang Yang and Bao Xin can also return within seven or eight days...... I thought that the general would only wait for a few recruits to come back before he started, because the patience of the soldiers would only end there! If it drags on any longer, as you said, the people of the world will doubt the general's intentions. ”

"Three or five days?" Tian Chou sighed for a while. "I still hope that there will be no more waves in three or five days, the world is already chaotic enough. But if the general can stabilize the situation inside, and General Wei can sweep the place outside, maybe the world will still be saved. ”

"Zitai thinks too much." Gongsun Yue, who has never been pretended, suddenly laughed when he heard this. "I have been in the Yellow Gate Prison for several years, and I can't help but see more about the affairs of the world...... Where is salvation in this world? ”

"Brother Wen Chao, what do you mean by this?" Tian Chou was slightly moved. "The world is in turmoil, the source of the disaster is eunuchs, if you can cut off their generations, and then sweep away the rebellious ......"

"What brings chaos to the world is not only eunuchs and rebellion?" Gongsun Yue replied quietly. "It's just that the eunuch acts the worst, and he doesn't know how to pretend to be wrong, that's it."

Tian Chou was different for a while, but it was not easy to say anything.

In fact, what Gongsun Yue, Tian Chou, Cao Cao and others can see, others can naturally see, and compared to those who stay out of the matter, some people are not able to bear it for a moment.

"It's really hateful to kill the pig general!" Yuan Shao, who had been appointed as the captain of Si Li, had just returned to his house from outside, and then sat on the couch in the back hall, but he was still resentful. "It's the third time, and today I went to him again, and even Wang Yun, Hua Xin, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zheng Tai, and Huan Dian were all there, and they all persuaded him to allow me to directly kill those eunuchs hiding at home, but he didn't allow it?! Is it really repentant?! ”

"The general won't stop there." Guo Tu, who rushed to hear the news, hurriedly persuaded carefully. "I think he's just delaying the army, waiting for the situation to be in his hands before he does it."

"I know that, too, but I'm worried about what happens." Yuan Shao became more and more angry when he heard this, and even had a headache. "You say, in case all kinds of troops are recruited into the court, the general has all the advantages, but he doesn't care about us, what if he really wants to maintain the eunuchs at that time? Are the eunuchs of this dynasty so easy to deal with? He Jin wants to be Dou Wu, but I don't want to be Chen Fan! ”

"No, it won't." Guo Tu, who was standing on the side, was about to say more, but Xu You, who was sitting casually on the couch next to him, suddenly twisted his beard and interjected. "Gongsun Wenqi sent a report today, the matter in Liaoxi has been settled, doesn't the general want to promote him to the hussar general and let him lead the troops to Hanoi to press the field? At first, if you think about it, Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao can scare the queen mother into letting the eunuch out of the palace; Five-way recruitment can let the general grasp the overall situation, as soon as General Wei comes, does General He still have a choice, he doesn't want to punish the eunuch, right? Gongsun Wenqi would not hesitate in this kind of matter. ”

"That's even worse!" Yuan Shao immediately responded. "My generation has worked hard for months, but do I have to make wedding dresses for others?"

"So, the original meaning was that there was no turning between the general and the eunuch?" Xu You couldn't help but sneer. "Moreover, it is better to do it as soon as possible before Gongsun Wenqi returns? Right? ”

"Ziyuan is strategic, you might as well speak up." Yuan Shao only felt that his forehead was hot, and his head was unbearable for a while, so he didn't bother to whistle with the other party. "What nonsense are you talking about at this time?"

"Easy!" Xu Yu suddenly looked solemn. "The general has his own leeway, it is difficult for you to persecute him for a while, but it may not be impossible to persecute others! Aren't you a lieutenant? Why didn't you immediately spread the meaning of the general and let the local government arrest the family members and clansmen of the ten permanent servants? ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, but looked at Guo Tu again.

Guo Gong pondered for a moment, and then nodded to Xu You's opinion: "This plan is wonderful, this move, whether the local government believes it or not, nor whether the local government has the courage, or even to make it clear that the general and my generation are unwilling to wait, but only to tell those eunuchs hiding at home that the general cannot pardon them, and it is impossible for the world to pardon them, they have only one way to die!" And the general figured out the state of mind of these eunuchs, so he naturally wouldn't hesitate anymore. ”

Yuan Shao held his forehead and thought for a moment, but he suddenly moved and went to the Captain's Mansion of Si Li.

In this way, on the second day, countless official documents from Luozhong were sent to various places in a grand manner, and the official documents were directly apprehended, and in the name of the general He Jin, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Qi and other family members and clansmen of the Yellow Gate were arrested, and the deadlock in Luozhong was broken in an instant.

And the interesting thing is that just when He Jin was caught off guard, and the resourceful people around him had not had time to explain to him the meaning behind Yuan Shao's move, at noon on this day, his half-brother, He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, came to visit again.

"What do you mean? What does it mean to be 'prosperous'? He Jin held Peiyu in his waist and asked with a frown.

"Brother." He Miao, who had just sat down, replied helplessly. "I mean, our brothers and sisters are just ordinary people in Nanyang, and now that we are so rich, why do we have to toss it? Enjoying wealth is the right thing to do. ”

He Jin opened his mouth to speak, but he was so angry that he had nothing to say because of his unrelated brother...... Pity yourself for balancing hard, wooing this, suppressing that, just hoping that the He family can not fall into the end of the family, but in the eyes of his younger brother, he actually delayed him to enjoy wealth? !

And the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end, he directly tore off the jade pendant in his hand, slammed it on the ground, and shattered it for a while.

Seeing this, He Miao knew that he had angered the other party, and he couldn't help but sneer, so he immediately said goodbye and left.

At this point, the eunuchs' last attempt to plead for reconciliation had ended before He Miao's stupidity began.

On this day, it is the 24th of May,

General Wei Gongsun Xun had just finished annexing Shanggu Wuhuan, Liu Bei was still on his way back from Yangzhou, Bao Xin would not be able to return in five or six days, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang would not be able to reach Luoyang in three or four days, and Wang Kuang had already led his troops back to Luoyang twenty miles east of Luoyang City.

At the same time, Ding Yuan was in Mengjin, Qiao Mao was in Gongxian, and Dong Zhuo was in Jiyang Pavilion...... Everyone is looking at the scenery.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm the dividing line that hasn't started yetβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Six years of Zhongping...... Yuan Shao was afraid of the change, and said because of the threat: 'The structure has been completed, the situation has been revealed, why should the general not make an early decision if he wants to recover?' After a long time, it will be reinstated as Dou's! 'Then he took Shao as the lieutenant of the division, and the false festival was broken by special order; Engaged in Zhonglang Wang Yun for Henan Yin. Shao made the Luoyang Fangluo military officials to inspect the eunuchs, and urged Dong Zhuo and other envoys to gallop up, wanting to enter the army and be optimistic. The queen mother was afraid, and she was afraid of the middle and middle attendants, and the envoy of the small yellow door returned to the house, and only stayed in the private place to guard the province. All the permanent servants and the little yellow door all apologized, but they were at a loss. He said: 'The world is suffering from the ears of all kings. Now that Dong Zhuo is here, why don't you go to the country as soon as possible! 'Yuan Shao persuaded to make this decision, as for repeatedly; Not allowed. General Shao retreated, and suddenly heard that Taizu had arrived, so he was worried and said: "If General Wei arrives, how can you and I dispose of the land?" So Guo Tu and Xu Yu used the plan to falsely sue the prefectures and counties, and falsely publicized their intentions, so that the relatives of the officials in the case were arrested. At this point, the accumulation of time has been quite leaking, and the lieutenant is afraid of change. β€”The Dictionary. Yan, Pei Song's note
