Chapter 144: Dong Zhuo Enters Beijing (Asking for Votes!) )

The book was picked up again, He Jin did not listen to the persuasion of Cao Cao and others and insisted on entering the palace, and was finally killed by Zhang Rang and other eunuchs.

Twenty miles outside Luoyang City, there is a hill, and there is a pavilion for farewell on the hill, called "Sunset Pavilion".

At this time, Dong Zhuo's army was stationed on the hill where the Sunset Pavilion was located.

Dong Zhuo's army has been stationed in front of the Sunset Pavilion for several days, originally Dong Zhuo wanted to directly lead the troops into Luoyang, but before he reached the front of Luoyang City, he was persuaded to retreat here by the counselor doctor sent by the Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He originally wanted Dong Zhuo to retire, but Dong Zhuo shirked for various reasons and refused to leave for a long time in front of the Sunset Pavilion.

At noon on the day He Jin was killed, Dong Zhuo and others were eating lunch in the big tent.

"What do you mean by these He brothers and sisters? One asked our family to come over to help him eradicate the traitors, but the other repeatedly obstructed our family from entering Beijing, isn't this obviously playing with our family? ”

The person who spoke was more than eight feet long, with a waist of ten girths, fat muscles and heavy flesh, and sat behind the dining table like a mountain of meat. This person is Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Liangzhou Army who was the pastor of the state at the time!

At this time, Dong Zhuo's Niu Fu, Li Yu, Guo Ci, Jia Xu and others were all in the tent.

"Father-in-law, in the opinion of the younger son-in-law, the He brothers and sisters are not united, and there is civil strife in the court, it is a matter of time before the person who spoke was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

Listening to Niu Fu's words, Dong Zhuo put a large piece of fat on the plate into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing twice.

"The virtuous son-in-law is right! Then we'll wait here! ”

After speaking, Dong Zhuo wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted to everyone, "Come!" You and our family toasted this cup together! ”

Compared with Dong Zhuo's drinking and having fun, Luoyang City was already in chaos at this time.

Seeing that He Jin was killed, Yuan Shao and others began to want to take the opportunity to enter the palace in the name of Qingjun.

However, there was a shortage of soldiers under his subordinates, and after the high walls of the palace city, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were busy outside for a long time and did not attack it.

"Originally, I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this! We're going to have to get some more people! Cao Cao shouted at Yuan Shao.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shao called Chun Yuqiong on the side.

"Zhong Jian, you go and call my brother Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and other generals!"

"No!" Chun Yuqiong agreed, and then hurriedly ran away.

At this time, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others also stopped attacking the palace and waited for reinforcements to arrive.

Knowing that Yuan Shao and others outside the palace actually began to attack the palace, Zhang Rang and several people were frightened, and hurriedly ran to the Empress Dowager He's bedroom.

After arriving at the Empress Dowager He's bedroom, as soon as they saw the Empress Dowager He, Zhang Rang and the others knelt on the ground and cried.

"Queen Mother, General He's subordinates have rebelled! At this time, the palace gate is being attacked! ”

At this time, the Empress Dowager He was lying on the bed resting, and when she heard Zhang Rang's words, she was so frightened that she almost didn't fall off the bed.

"What about my brother? Tell my brother to lead the troops to protect the palace! ”

Empress Dowager He didn't know at this time that He Jin had been killed by Zhang Rang and others.

Seeing that Empress Dowager He was looking for He Jin, Zhao Zhong, who was kneeling behind Zhang Rang, hurriedly knelt down and climbed forward.

"Queen Mother, General He, General He, he was also killed by the rebels!" Zhao Zhong cried with grief and indignation.

"Smack~"

When Empress Dowager He heard that He Jin had been killed, her eyes were dark, and the whole person collapsed on the bed, and the jade handle that was playing in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother!" Zhang Rang and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, and the servants in the room hurriedly stepped forward to check.

After about a cup of tea, Empress Dowager He opened her eyes weakly.

"Debate! Hurry up and send someone to protect Bian'er! As soon as Empress Dowager He woke up, she instructed Zhang Rang and others to protect the young emperor Liu Wei.

When Zhang Rang and the others heard this, they hurriedly sent their subordinates to pick up the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie.

At this time, outside the palace, Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, He Jin's younger brother He Miao, Fengche Duwei Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Zhuo and others had already come to the palace gate.

Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang were He Jin's confidants and favorite generals, and after seeing He Jin's head at this time, they were angry and ordered the soldiers to use them to slash the palace gate.

Seeing that the palace gate was stunned for a long time, Yuan Shao's younger brother, Yuan Shu, who was the general of Huben Zhonglang at the time, ordered someone to get firewood, and planned to burn down the Qingzuo Gate.

The eunuchs and forbidden soldiers who guarded the palace with knives in the palace saw that Yuan Shao and others were going to set fire to the palace, so they hurriedly ran to report to Zhang Rang and others.

Zhang Rang and others, who learned the news, were horrified, and they didn't care about any courtesy, so they coerced the young emperor, the Empress Dowager He and others, and coerced the hundred officials in the palace to flee to the inner palace in the north.

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes" Facing such a big disaster, husband and wife may not necessarily share weal and woe, not to mention Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others who came together because of interests.

Seeing that Yuan Shao and others were about to attack the outer palace, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng and others left Zhang Rang one after another, and each fled for their lives in different directions. And Zhang Rang and Duan coerced the young emperor and the hundred officials to continue to flee to the inner palace.

At this time, it was dusk, and when Yuan Shu and others set fire to the palace, the flames were everywhere, and the smoke rose to the sky.

Dong Zhuo and the others, who were far away in the Sunset Pavilion, had already finished dinner and went back to their tents to rest.

"Not good! Something happened in Luoyang City! ”

Jia Xu, who was a military adviser under Niu Fu, was walking outside after dinner at this time, but he didn't think about it, he just walked to a place with a wide field of vision, and when he looked in the direction of Luoyang City, he saw the smoke rolling up in Luoyang City.

Because Jia Xu's identity was not enough at this time, if he went directly to inform Dong Zhuo, he was afraid that he would be suspected of trespassing, and after thinking about it for a while, Jia Xu walked quickly

Run towards the big tent of Niu Fu.

After Niu Fu heard the news of Jia Xu, he hurriedly got dressed and ran to Dong Zhuo's big tent with Jia Xu.

"Hmm~ah~"

As soon as Niu Fu and the others walked in front of Dong Zhuo's tent, they heard an itchy gasp from inside.

The two knew that Dong Zhuo was sowing seeds, so they didn't dare to disturb, and after looking at each other, the two stood in front of the tent and waited quietly.

"Ah~~"

A few minutes later, a man and his satisfied roar came from inside Dong Zhuo's tent, and the two Niu Fu outside the tent knew that Dong Zhuo was done.

"Father-in-law, son-in-law Niu Fu asks to see!" Niu Fu cleared his throat and called out respectfully to the tent.

The two waited for a while, only to hear a lazy and displeased voice from inside.

"It's so late, let's talk about something outside the tent!"

Hearing this, Niu Fu continued to say to the tent, "There is a change in Luoyang City!" Please also ask your father-in-law to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

As soon as Niu Fu's voice fell, he only heard a few sounds of wooden planks being squeezed by heavy objects from inside the tent. When Niu Fu and the others heard this, they knew that Dong Zhuo was about to get out of bed, so they hurriedly took a few steps back and waited respectfully in front of the tent door.

After a few breaths, I saw that the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Dong Zhuo walked out of the big tent with only a coat on his body. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, I saw the thing under Dong Zhuo's crotch squeezing like a fat worm.

After Dong Zhuo came out of the account, Niu Fu reported to Dong Zhuo what Jia Xu had seen just now, and then Dong Zhuo also found a place with a wide field of vision to look down the mountain, and when he saw the fire and bursts of smoke in Luoyang Chongzhong, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.

"Hahaha~ God help me! Go and call Li Yu, Guo Ci and others to come! ”

At this time, Yuan Shao and others had already burned down the Qingzuo Gate and attacked the outer palace of the palace.

As soon as they entered the outer palace, Yuan Shao and others began to kill, and everyone in the palace who had weapons in their hands, whether they were eunuchs or not, became the target of Yuan Shao and others.

At this time, in the outer palace, there were only one or two thousand people in the forbidden army plus the eunuchs, but there were as many as five or six thousand people on the side of Yuan Shao and others, and the battle lasted less than an hour, and the defenders of the outer palace were almost killed.

Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Cao Cao came to Yuan Shao's side.

"Originally, this time we have already committed the great crime of rebellion, and if we can't kill all those eunuchs at this time, he will suffer from it one day!" Cao Cao said righteously.

Yuan Shao was also a little red-eyed at this time, and when he heard Cao Cao's words, he ordered without thinking about it, "All men, young and old, will be executed."

Suddenly, in the outer palace, the screams continued.

And Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng, who had abandoned Zhang Rang before and planned to escape alone, were also captured alive by Wu Kuang's men.

"Lord Yuan, I'll capture Zhao Zhong alive!" Wu Kuang ran to Yuan Shao's side to report.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

"Bring it on!"

Yuan Shao gave an order, and saw a few people who looked like eunuchs from the crowd being brought up.

"Yuan Shao! After you are still a famous family, you dare to do such a rebellious thing, aren't you afraid of disgrace to your ancestors? At this time, Zhao Zhong knew that he had no hope of survival, so he was heartbroken, and he insulted Yuan Shaolai in public.

Yuan Shao, a gentleman, has been pampered since he was a child, even He Jin didn't dare to reprimand him too much, but at this time, he was humiliated in public by a eunuch, how could Yuan Shao stand such humiliation in his heart.

"Eunuchs are looking for death!" Yuan Shao shouted angrily, then raised the big knife in his hand and hacked Zhao Zhong and the others to death on the spot.

After hacking Zhao Zhong and others to death, Yuan Shao thought about leading his troops to kill the inner palace, but as soon as Yuan Shao gave the order, he was opposed by He Jin's brother He Miao.

He Miao and Empress Dowager He are half-brothers, and because of the relationship between Empress Dowager He, He Miao was named the general of the chariot cavalry.

Like Wuyangjun, He Miao has always been at odds with He Jin, when He Jin asked the Empress Dowager He to kill the eunuchs, He Miao repeatedly persuaded the Empress Dowager He to prevent He Jin from killing the eunuchs.

Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and other generals under He Jin had long suspected that He Miao was bought by Zhang Rang and others, and at this time, seeing that He Miao was the emperor's residence in the inner palace to prevent everyone from attacking the inner palace, Wu Kuang and others were furious in their hearts, and they couldn't help but have murderous intent.

"The two generals Wu and Dong, you two are responsible for waiting here to prevent any fish from escaping, and the rest of the people will enter the inner palace with me!" Yuan Shao ignored He Miao's objection at all, but directly gave orders to Wu Kuang and Dong.

Seeing that Yuan Shao despised himself so much, He Miao was also resentful, watching Yuan Shao and others attack the inner palace, He Miao and his subordinates did not come forward to help.

After Yuan Shao left, Wu Kuang and Dong separated from He Miao with their subordinates. As soon as the two groups were separated, Wu Kuang began to bewitch Dong.

"Brother Dong, I analyzed that the death of the general must be inseparable from He Miao, and now I want to take this opportunity to avenge the general, I don't know if Brother Dong is willing to help me?" Wu Kuang looked at Dong with a sincere face and said.

Dong and Wu Kuang have always had close contacts, and when they saw that Wu Kuang intended to join forces to murder He Miao, they agreed without thinking about it.

Seeing this, Wu Kuang said to the soldiers behind him, "I have already confirmed with Lord Yuan that in addition to Zhang Rang and others, He Miao also participated in the killing of the general, as a subordinate of the general, are you willing to follow me to avenge the general?" ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all cried: "I am willing to fight to avenge the general!" ”

Seeing this, Wu and Dong rushed to the place where He Miao and the others were in the distance with their subordinates.

At this time, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others took advantage of the situation to attack and sweep the palace ban, and many soldiers had already climbed the wall of the inner palace and launched an attack inside.

At this time, Zhang Rang, Duan and the others who were hiding in the inner palace had already been frightened

Courage, seeing that someone had already entered the inner palace, everyone who had nothing to do could only take Liu Wei, Liu Xie and the ministers to escape from the palace on foot from the small gate.

Not long after Zhang Rang and others left the palace, Yuan Shao and others entered the inner palace.

You must know that the inner palace is the emperor's usual resting place, except for a limited number of confidant ministers, ordinary officials have no chance to enter the inner palace in their lives.

At this time, as soon as they entered the inner palace, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others' subordinates began to lose control of themselves, and many people began to snatch gold, silver and jewelry everywhere. The scene was very chaotic.

After all, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were people who had seen the world, and they were not confused by the magnificent scene in front of them at this time, and they still led their sober soldiers to hunt down and kill the eunuchs in the inner palace.

Like the outer palace, Yuan Shao and others killed all the eunuchs, regardless of the old and the young, and cut down the men, and for a while they saw thousands of people in the inner palace who died tragically, and seventy percent of them died in vain.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was happy, Cao Cao did not call Yuan Shao, but alone with his soldiers to the palace where the young emperor usually lived, and when Cao Cao killed at least Emperor Liu Bian's bedroom, he found that Liu Bian was not in the house, and Zhang Rang and others did not know where to go. Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly ran back to find Yuan Shao.

As soon as Cao Cao informed Yuan Shao of the fact that Zhang Rang and the others had disappeared, news came from the outer palace that He Miao had been killed.

"Originally, now that things have come to such a field, there is no way back for us except to pursue!" Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's hesitation, for fear that he would stop like this, so he proposed to pursue Zhang Rang.

"Keep interrupting! Have you forgotten about General Ho? Seeing that Yuan Shao was still hesitating there, Cao Cao shouted angrily.

If He Jin hadn't hesitated at the beginning, I'm afraid he wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe. Hearing Cao Cao mention He Jin, Yuan Shao's heart suddenly became clear.

"Thank you, Brother Mengde, for waking up!" After Yuan Shao thanked Cao Cao, he then ordered to pursue Zhang Rang and the others.

After Zhang Rang and others escaped from the palace, they fled all the way north to Beibi Mountain north of Luoyang.

Fleeing to midnight, Zhang Rang and others coerced the young emperor and others and fled to the Yellow River ferry "Xiaopingjin".

At this time, everyone really couldn't run, except for the young emperor who was being carried on his back, everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Because he was in a hurry when he escaped, he didn't bring the jade seal used by the emperor with him.

"Your Majesty, eat something quickly!" Zhang Rang came to the side of the young emperor Liu Bian, took out an apple from the palace from his arms, wiped it and reached out and handed it to Liu Bian.

At this time, Liu Wei was already so frightened that he cried, snatched the apple handed over by Zhang Rang, and then threw it out.

"I'm going back to the palace! I'm looking for my mother! Liu Wei sat on the ground and kicked his legs and cried.

On the other hand, Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, on the side, not only was not scared to cry, but looked at the apples rolling down in the distance, got up and ran over to pick them up and eat them in a big bite.

There was no minister in the team for a long time, except for a dozen eunuchs, only Shangshu Lu Zhi and Peng Mingong in central Henan, who was in charge of inspecting the subordinate counties, followed him. Empress Dowager He and the remaining officials no longer knew where to flee at this time.

Looking at the little emperor beside him, Min Gong couldn't help but feel sad and annoyed in his heart.

The dignified Son of Heaven was coerced and fled by a group of eunuchs, as a Hanchen who had eaten Han Lu for generations, Min Gong was furious, so he vented his anger on Zhang Rang and others around him.

I saw Min Gong take out the saber on his waist, slash several eunuchs one after another, and then came to Zhang Rang and others angrily with the knife.

"Min Gong! Are you going to rebel too? Looking at the blood-dripping knife in Min Gong's hand, Zhang Rang took a few steps back and accused in horror.

Hearing this, Min Gong pointed a knife at Zhang Rang and Duan and scolded, "Today's events are all the sins of the two of you!" ”

After speaking, Min Gong raised his knife and slashed at Zhang Rang and Duan.

At this time, Dong Zhuo and the others had already arrived at Xianyangwan outside Luoyang City.

When Liu Hong was alive, in order to allow him to have a place to have fun when he traveled, Liu Hong ordered the construction of many Wanyuan outside Luoyang City, and Xianyang Wan was one of the many Wanyuan.

As soon as he arrived in Xianyangwan, Dong Zhuo heard the news that the young emperor had been kidnapped by Zhang Rang and others in Shangbei Mountain.

Later, Dong Zhuo and others discussed it for a while, and then led their troops to kill Beibi Mountain.

Five days later, Liu Yi and others had just bypassed Zhongshan, where Zhang Chun, who had a gap with him, and came to the south of Jizhou.

At this time, Liu Yi's army was resting on a plain, and suddenly a scout horse hurriedly ran to Liu Yi and the others.

"Lord, Luoyang is here to report, Dong Zhuo has entered Beijing!"

Liu Yi sat on a stone and ate dry food, hearing this, Liu Yi threw away the water bladder in his hand and stood up in surprise, "So fast? ”

Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai, who were beside them, were also shocked when they heard this.

Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked for some details.

The Tanma who came to report told everyone everything he knew.

"I didn't expect He Jin to be killed by those eunuchs!"

After Xi Zhicai muttered to himself, he turned his head to Liu Yi and said, "Lord, since Dong Zhuo has already entered Beijing first, there is no point in us entering Beijing again at this time, besides, we have so many people with us, if we are used by people with intentions, I am afraid that not only will we not get benefits but will also cause trouble!" ”

"How many people did Dong Zhuo bring into Beijing?" Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Yi hurriedly asked the tanma.

"I don't know how much, but in the past few days, thousands of Xiliang troops have entered Beijing every day, depending on the situation, there must be at least tens of thousands of Dong Zhuo's soldiers in Luoyang City now!" The tanma thought for a moment and replied.

Hearing this, Liu Yi frowned and fell silent.
