72, Yuan family brothers

With He Jin's head as a deterrent, even if Shangshutai's rotating Shangshu was unwilling, he had to immediately sign the seal and issue an edict. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And along with the edict, there was also the news that He Jin was killed. He Jin's subordinates Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang led troops outside the palace, and when they heard that the general was murdered by the eunuchs, they immediately gathered people and horses to prepare to attack and avenge the general, but the eunuchs were already on guard, and after the edict went out of the palace, they closed the palace gate, gathered the soldiers and horses guarding the palace gate, and forbade anyone to enter and exit, and the situation suddenly became precarious.

Fortunately, the Yuan family has also been worried about the eunuch's return to the palace in the past few days, and has raised their vigilance against the incident in the palace.

Yuan Shu was the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang at the time, and he immediately led the Hu Ben soldiers and guests who could be summoned temporarily in his hands, and rushed to the Pingcheng Gate of Nangong with troops and armor, and joined Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others to attack Nangong together. And the eunuchs are ready to fight to the death, and the resistance is also extremely tenacious, many of the redundant soldiers of the Yellow Gate and the sturdy people among the eunuchs all went into battle, distributing swords, spears, bows and arrows, plus part of the palace forbidden army that the eunuchs can control, condescending, with the palace city to defend, Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang, and Zhang Zhang lost their manpower one after another for a while, but they still couldn't attack.

In contrast, on the other hand, the process of emergency affairs that Yuan Shao started was much faster, and he and his uncle Taifu Yuan Kui issued an edict together, summoning Fan Ling and Xu Xiang, who had just been appointed as the lieutenant of Sili and Henan Yin, and killed them on the spot. After solving these two threatening eunuchs and friends, Yuan Shao personally went into battle, leading the Northern Army, Xiyuan soldiers, and Yuan's guests to gather many soldiers who had temporarily gathered, and joined the troops of He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, and also rushed to the Pingcheng Gate of Nangong to assist Yuan Shu in attacking Nangong.

Yuan Shu saw that the sun and dusk were still unable to take down the eunuchs on the palace wall, and as soon as the anger came up, a group of soldiers under his command also ignored the ban on the royal land not to raise fires without permission, and directly used fire attack, brought firewood and piled it up under the palace gate, and burned the palace gate, so that after leaving the corpses of the soldiers in another place, they attacked the south palace.

However, the eunuchs Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others had already threatened to "rebel against the general's troops and attack the palace ban in an attempt to misbehave" before the palace gate was lost, and hijacked the officials of the young Tianzi, Empress Dowager He, Chen Liuwang and Shang Shutai, and fled to the North Palace from Fudao. Although there is Shangshu Lu Zhi holding Changge, scolding Duan Qi at the lower level of the Fudao, and saving the Empress Dowager He who jumped from the pavilion window in time, the two and a half children of the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang were still held hostage by the eunuchs and taken to the North Palace.

The reason why Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were delayed and did not have time to catch up with Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others who fled to the Beigong in a hurry was because these soldiers and horses who were also temporarily gathered together also had internal strife when they chased to the Nanye Gate of the Beigong.

In addition to the Yuan brothers, there are also the troops of the general He Jin, Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, and the general He Miao, plus a few soldiers and horses of Dong Min, the commander of Fengche.

He Miao was originally attached to the eunuchs, and Wu Kuang and other He Jin's subordinates complained that He Miao and He Jin did not have the same heart, and repeatedly obstructed them, which caused the general He Jin to kill the eunuch instead of killing the eunuch, but was murdered by the eunuch in the palace.

At the moment, under the Suzaku Que in Nanye Gate, after killing Zhao Zhong and other fish who had missed the net in time to retreat into the North Palace, Wu Kuang, who was red-eyed, held a long sword, his eyes were split, and he hissed, "Killing the general is to ride the car, and the officials can repay the general?" Many of his soldiers and horses were also red-eyed when they attacked Nangong, and they all responded angrily: "I am willing to die!" ”

So Wu Kuang took Zhang Zhang, Dong Min and others suddenly turned against each other, and together they attacked and killed He Miao who rushed to converge, and the soldiers and horses on both sides opened a killing ring under the palace gate, killing each other, and He Miao was hacked to death by the rebels in the chaos, and the corpse was also thrown in the palace at will.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were temporarily forced to raise troops to attack the palace ban, originally tied their heads to their trousers and fought for their lives, but now their soldiers and horses did not listen to orders, and it was another fratricidal killing, and the soldiers were red-eyed, and the Yuan brothers had no choice but to follow the situation, and they started to kill, and no longer asked questions, and directly sent troops to block the gate of the North Palace to prevent the eunuchs from counterattacking, and then began to arrest all the eunuchs in the South Palace.

For a while, in the night of Nangong, swords and swords appeared, screams and wails continued to sound, eunuchs regardless of the old and young, good and evil, and the red-eyed soldiers were all killed on the spot. In the face of the wolf-like and unspeakable soldiers, in order to survive, some clever Lang officials did not have the integrity of the past scribes, and directly took off their bottoms, revealing their lower bodies, so that they could escape their lives.

After a night of chaotic fighting, when the sky was clear, there were already more than 2,000 corpses in Nangong on the ground, which really killed people's heads and flowed like a river of blood. It is estimated that after the eunuchs in the palace have been swept away, Yuan Shaocai collected his troops and turned to attack the North Palace, but after several fights, everyone's soldiers and horses have lost a lot, and many soldiers took advantage of the chaos last night to kill and plunder, stole some treasures and goods in the palace, and fled, so in the process of attacking the North Palace, the weakened Yuan brothers also did not go well when they cleared these trapped beasts and fighting eunuchs.

Although some of the soldiers had already attacked the palace wall of the North Palace, they were soon driven down again. The eunuchs also knew that there was a massacre in the South Palace last night, if the last and only line of defense in the North Palace was breached, then whether they were eunuchs or eunuchs and friends, they would also die without a place to be buried, so the remnants of the people resisted desperately, and the Yuan brothers led their troops to attack Jingri, but they were not able to take down these eunuchs who were determined to defend the North Palace in one fell swoop.

The two sides of the North Palace fought fiercely and attacked and killed, and there were also riots of varying degrees in various places in the city, and many evil boys, bullies, and ruffians also took the opportunity to do evil, and the nobles and leaders in the city fled with their families and mouths, and the firelight and smoke in the city also conveyed the signal of the incident in the city to the soldiers and horses who had arrived in the east, west and north directions of the city day and night.

Among them, Dong Zhuo's men and horses were the first to react, Dong Zhuo from the garrison, faintly saw the fire of Luoyang from a distance, he immediately beat the drum and raised the tent, gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures, at this time it was too late to send messengers to contact the General's Mansion, Dong Min and others. Dong Zhuo is not a gentle and decisive boss, now that the soldiers have arrived in the suburbs of Luoyang, no matter whether there is a sword mountain or a sea of fire ahead, what is the victory or defeat of relatives, party members, and eunuchs, this trip to Luoyang must go on.

It's just that because he didn't enter the edict of Luoyang, and there was a counselor Chong Shao who was holding the edict of retreat in the camp to obstruct it, Dong Zhuo could only retreat and stay in the same place, and he took Li Ru, Fan Chou and others, personally led more than 3,000 cavalry from Huangzhong Yicong and Qin Hu soldiers, and quietly left the camp overnight, wearing stars and moons, and rushed to Luoyang.
