Chapter 131: The Rafters That Came Out
Yuan Shao saw that He Jin was always undecided, and offered advice to He Jin, "The general can let the loyal ministers around him lead troops into Beijing, publicize it, intimidate the queen mother, recruit heroes from all over the world, and strengthen the strength of the army." ”
He Jin felt that this plan was feasible, so he summoned the former general Dong Zhuo to march to Shanglin Yuan, Feng Ding Yuan was the guard lieutenant, promoted Lu Bu to be the pastor of the state, Gao Shun was the general of Duliao, led the army to enter Mengjin, and the eastern county Taishou Qiaomao was stationed in Chenggao, and appointed Wang Yun as Henan Yin, and Wang Kuang, the general's mansion, was ordered to return to Taishan County to recruit a thousand archers.
Lu Bu received He Jin's military order, so he immediately left, he accompanied Ding Yuan into Beijing together, and also brought the military advisor Jia Xu, he felt that this complicated situation was still more reliable than many people who could be discussed.
The accompanying army included the entire guard regiment, with Dian Wei and Zhao Yun as the chief and deputy commanders of the guard regiment, as well as Cheng Lian's Rong 1st Brigade and Zhang He's 1st Cavalry Brigade.
did not mobilize more troops, not because they could not be dispatched, but because they thought that according to the situation in Luoyang, it would be inappropriate for the army to go too much, at least not more than Dong Zhuo's army.
Anyway, Hanoi County is not far away, and there are still three brigades under the command of Gao Shun, who are on call.
This time into Luoyang, Lu Bu and Jia Xu formulated a plan, codenamed "Crazy Dong Zhuo". The central idea can be summed up in a sentence by Jia Xu, that is, "Heaven wants to die, and it will make it crazy." Let Dong Zhuo be the first bird!
Before He Jin's edict arrived, the state army had already assembled in Gaodu and stood by, and Lu Bu, Ding Yuan, and Jia Xu also waited in Gaodu early, and Yunzhong was handed over to Xu Huang and Fu Zhu to take care of.
As soon as the military order arrived, all units of the state army were assembled, and the rigorous training brought higher efficiency.
Moreover, the main forces of the Bingzhou Army have completed the refitting from the ring head knife to the horizontal knife, and the new crossbows have all been distributed in place.
The new repeater can fire two crossbow arrows at the same time, there are two arrow holes at the front end of the crossbow machine, and the number of crossbow arrows in one box has also increased to twenty, the mechanism has been updated, the weight of the whole machine has only increased slightly, and the fire coverage density per unit time has been doubled.
On the basis of reducing weight, the horizontal knife relies on more advanced smelting technology, and the sharpness and toughness have been greatly improved.
Infantry units were also equipped with a small number of long-handled swords as an experiment.
In addition, there is another piece of equipment that has been improved and also equipped with various units of the state army, but it is only deployed at the battalion level for the time being, that is, a repeater cannon, or a large repeater.
Ma Jun made a base for him to facilitate the drag of horses and the transfer of manpower to direction and position, and this treasure was specially designed to deal with heavy infantry and large oars and shields.
The news of the troops of the princes from all walks of life approaching Luoyang soon spread to the palace, and the Empress Dowager He felt that the situation was serious, and she couldn't care about maintaining these eunuchs anymore, so she hurriedly drove the eunuchs out of the palace and put them home.
The ten permanent attendants also panicked when they saw that He Jin was going to move seriously, after all, they were just a group of eunuchs and had no military power, how could they confront He Jin?
So they went to He Jin's house together, kowtowed and begged He Jin for forgiveness. He Jin had the best relationship with Guo Sheng, and when he saw that these eunuchs had softened, he was a little soft-hearted and agreed to let them go home to retire.
Yuan Shao and other staff members repeatedly dissuaded him, but He Jin just didn't listen. Yuan Shao was very unwilling, and wrote letters to the states and counties behind He Jin's back, falsely spreading He Jin's intentions, and ordering them to arrest the families of the eunuchs.
On September 25, after the 10 attendants were cornered, the dog jumped over the wall.
They pretended to serve the Empress Dowager He for the last time before leaving Luoyang, and then entered the palace again.
Then he sent someone to pretend to spread the will of the Empress Dowager He and invited He to enter the palace to discuss matters. After He Jin entered the palace, the eunuchs swarmed up, beheaded He Jin, cut off his head, and threw him out of the palace gate.
He Jin's subordinate general Wu Kuang, Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min saw He Jin killed, immediately red-eyed, killed people when they saw them, the palace gate was strong, and they couldn't conquer it for a while, so they killed the Che Cavalry General's Mansion and killed He Miao.
At this time, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others rushed to the outside of the palace with troops, and Yuan Shu saw that the palace gate was strong and could not be attacked, so he ordered someone to set fire to the palace gate.
Yuan Kui also pretended to have an edict from the first emperor and wantonly hunted down eunuchs and their henchmen.
When Zhang Rang and others heard that Yuan Shu set fire to the palace gate, they knew that the general trend had gone, so they hijacked the young emperor Liu Wei and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, and escaped from the palace in a hurry from the secret passage and avoided to the suburbs.
As soon as Zhang Rang and the others left the palace, Lu Bu got accurate news, and he ordered Cheng Lian's Rongyi Brigade to stay in Mengjin, and he and Ding Yuan and Jia Xu took the guard regiment and the first cavalry brigade to Luoyang.
Halfway through, I received new news, Zhang Rang and others took the young emperor hostage and went to Beibi Mountain, Lu Bu heard this news, but he was not in a hurry.
He asked the scout, where did Dong Zhuo go? The scouts reported that Dong Zhuo and his army were also rushing to Beibi Mountain, and there were still thirty miles to go.
Lu Bu nodded, calculated the time, and ordered the whole army to dismount and rest for half an hour, and then set off for Beibi Mountain.
Ding Yuan was puzzled, "Fengxian, Luoyang has suffered such a big change, if we succeed in rescuing the driver, it will be a great achievement, why did you stop moving?" ”
"Father, I don't know if you've heard of the rafters that come out of the rafters rot first? The current situation in Luoyang is extremely complicated, let Dong Zhuo be the rafter in his early days! ”
"Yuan Shao, Empress Dowager He, Dong Zhuo and other forces all want to get a piece of the pie, and we also want to take away our fair share, you are now Wei Wei, and I am the pastor of the state, isn't this all thanks to this?"
"Defeated Xianbei, the Huns, exterminated the Black Mountain Army, and the Yellow Turban Army, but they didn't get such a high reward! Let's wait and see what happens, and just watch the fire from the other side! You can't set yourself on fire, that's what the military advisor said to me! ”
Jia Xu on the side also said: "Lord Ding, don't worry, no matter what, the strength of our state army is here, no matter who holds the power of the DPRK, we must also respect our opinions, our interests are not less, and we don't have to be the target of this public, why not?" ”
"What's more, the plan we formulated "Crazy Dong Zhuo" has not officially started, Dong Zhuo's knife has to be used well, and the show has just begun! ”
Lu Bu stroked his palms and laughed, "Haha! That's right, the show is just beginning! Father, let's just watch the show! ”
On the outskirts of Luoyang, the sun is shining!
Rumbling thunder sounded in the flat ground, and after a long time, the dust rose from the official road in the distance, and a group of cavalry in black armor galloped over.
At the front of the team was a huge military flag, flying in the wind, with only a big "Dong" on it, but it was Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang cavalry.
Dong Zhuo saw the billowing smoke rising from Luoyang City last night, although he didn't know the specific situation, he guessed that the city must have moved, if he went late, there would be no advantage to take advantage of.
But before he could rush to Luoyang City, he met his younger brother Dong Min on the way, and saw that he was covered in blood and his face was full of smoke and fire.
Dong Zhuo knew that Dong Min was now a personal entourage with the general He Jin, and hurriedly asked him, "How is the situation in Luoyang City?" ”
Dong Min cried and shouted: "Brother, the general is already dead, and he has been beheaded by the Ten Standing Attendants!" ”
