Chapter 32 Tiger Fu Troop Transfer
At sunset, on Suzaku Street outside the south gate of the palace, the procession of the great general He entering the palace was slowly coming.
Completely different from Situ Wang Yun's old ox broken car, He Jin's convoy can be described as Zhang Yang Zhizhi, waving flags along the way, hundreds of gold-armored warriors hugging each other, and special horsemen holding long whips to beat pedestrians on the road at will, opening the way for the general's convoy.
On the 'Qibao Yuanrong' car driven by four black horses, the general He Jin wore a heavenly king's helmet, a golden armor, a black tiger and a golden robe, holding a sword, sitting proudly, and an apricot yellow general flag was erected next to it, and the word "He" on it was fluttering in the wind, and the majesty was unstoppable. Although it was late, the emperor had an edict, and He Jin still came by order, not expecting that he was stepping into the ghost gate step by step.
Chinese like to say: fools have foolish blessings!
There is also a proverb in the West: God favors fools!
This statement is indeed true, before the team came to the palace gate, just as He Jin was about to step into the palace, the god of luck favored him, and a big hand suddenly grabbed his steps into the palace.
"General, slow down! There are changes in the palace, there are ambushes inside, and you must not enter! "Pan Yin, the captain in the forbidden army in the West Garden, and also the confidant of Queen He, is responsible for communicating the news inside and outside the palace, today he happened to be on duty to guard the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the sudden changes in the palace were clearly seen by him, although he did not know the specific situation of the emperor's death for the time being, but the matter of the 'Ten Standing Attendants' secret ambush soldiers was learned by him, and now he saw that He Jin was going to enter the palace rashly, and hurriedly stopped him.
"What? Who is trying to harm me? Ten permanent attendants? Empress Dowager Dong? Or is it ...... Emperor? Suddenly hearing the news, He Jin was stunned, and then thought of one possibility after another, especially when he thought of the last terrible possibility, the general who was still majestic just now was immediately frightened, and cold sweat ran from his back to the soles of his feet.
The nouveau riche will never become a true nobleman, and in the event of an imminent danger, or the loss of their sacred aura, they will immediately become inferior to ordinary people!
Coming and going in a hurry, the team that was still majestic just now ran back the same way at a faster speed, and He Jin, who was sweating profusely along the way, kept urging the groom who was driving the car for himself, "Hurry up!" Hurry up! Faster! ”
In the end, He Jin, who was impatient, simply kicked the driver down, grabbed the reins and started driving in person, at this time speed is life!
Not to mention, the 'butcher general' who was born to kill pigs is also a good hand when he catches up with the car, and he is absolutely versatile, and the Yuan Rong chariot with four horses runs extremely fast in his hands, and he runs back to the general's mansion in a smoke; the facts tell us that whether in ancient times or in modern times, good driving skills are absolutely the guarantee of life.
At this time, the sky has completely darkened, under the blowing of the spring breeze at night, the atmosphere in Luoyang City, which should be warm, suddenly became tense, the boundless murderous aura began to quietly diffuse, countless pairs of eyes in the darkness were watching, a life-and-death political struggle officially began, whose blood would stain the pavilions and palaces here?
…………………………………………
In the conference hall of the General's Mansion, the lights were bright, as bright as day, and the general He Jin, who was full of sorrow, was roaring loudly, like a fat pig about to be lifted onto the board, knowing that the deadline was coming, but he couldn't do anything except howl a few times!
With his non-stop walking figure, the civil and military staff gathered in the hall also followed the wandering gaze, and just now received a more detailed secret report from the palace: Emperor Han Ling has died, the 'Ten Standing Servants' blocked the news, and the secret is not mourned, and at the same time secretly ambushes the armor soldiers, to take the life of the general He Jin, and then support the Emperor Association as the emperor!
Hearing the news of the emperor's death, everyone was stunned at first, they were a little distracted, but they didn't have any sad expressions, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if the emperor is dead, there is nothing in the world, but there will never be a shortage of people who want to be emperors, to put it bluntly, people worship the emperor, and only the emperor's seat is respected, as for who sits in that seat, it doesn't matter!
Whether the emperor really wants to kill He Jin or not, now there is no proof of death, and the 'Ten Standing Servants' have lost the emperor's trump card that can command the world, so before the new monarch is established, the two sides are politically evenly matched, and now it depends on how this 'butcher general' responds.
Standing next to He Jin is his younger brother He Miao, and now relying on the relationship between his brother, the official worships the general of the chariot and cavalry, and at the same time supervises the defense of the Luoyang City Gate; The two brothers are very similar in appearance and character, but He Miao has to add a change of words compared to his brother, which means that He Miao is undoubtedly more greedy, more vain, and more stupid than the 'butcher general' He Jin.
When this 'second master' of Hefu got the news of the great changes in the palace, he was almost so frightened that he urinated, and his appearance of being powerful and blessed in the past disappeared immediately; he even wanted to pack up his gold, silver and jewelry and run back to his hometown for refuge, but after thinking about it, he was a little reluctant to get the official position that he had obtained with great difficulty.
"You are all today's celebrities, and you are rich in five cars, but what is the best plan, say it quickly!" He Jin, who had been wandering around for a long time and didn't come up with any good solutions, had no choice but to cast his hopeful eyes on the hall, and at this time, the different expressions of the generals and staff fell into his eyes one by one.
Yuan Shao, who was sitting precariously at this time, was still a dignified appearance of a child of a family, doing a contemplative state, his brows were furrowed from time to time, and he seemed to be hesitating about something repeatedly, this is his character trait, which can be summed up in three words: 'Seeing things late!' 'Once encountering a big event, he is always strategic, and he has thought of thousands of strategies, but he is always unable to make a final decision, and as a result, he always starts to do things half a beat later than others, and he always misses a good opportunity!
Yuan Shu, on the contrary to his brother, was full of excitement at this time, rubbing his hands excitedly, looking anxious to start, but looking at his equally confused eyes, he knew that this person was just a blind impulse, and there was no specific plan in his heart at all, let alone anticipating the development of the situation.
The next one is Chen Lin, this scribe has unparalleled calligraphy, the pen is like a knife, and he is invincible in the world when he writes, but if he really wants to give advice and go into battle, it is estimated that it is lucky not to cut his feet.
Ay......! None of them are in charge!
……………………
"Today's matter, first it is advisable to be on the throne, and then to be a thief!" When everyone was still in a panic, Cao Cao, who had a calm face, stood up, and pointed to the point between his words, now that Emperor Ling has died, there is no owner in the world, whoever preemptively determines the throne will occupy the absolute initiative in politics.
"I am willing to borrow 5,000 elite soldiers, cut the pass in, set up a new monarch, punish all the eunuchs, sweep the court, and calm the world!" Seeing that Cao Cao had stolen the limelight, Yuan Shao, who had been confused for a long time, finally reacted, and immediately stood up without showing weakness, and his words were impassioned and gorgeous.
"The tiger talisman is incomplete, how to transfer troops?" Cao Cao's questioning almost choked Yuan Shao's blood, and even He Jin, who had just been overjoyed, was like cold water pouring his head, and his fat face immediately fell.
"Yes! Without the Tiger Talisman, how to transfer troops? ”
The tiger charm is the only evidence for the mobilization of the army of the previous dynasties, and the legend is that it was invented by the founding prime minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the mythical Jiang Ziya.
The shape of the tiger is made of fine copper, the back of which is engraved with an inscription, and then divided into two halves with a secret method, the right half is stored in the inner court of the imperial court, and the left half is issued by the central government to the commander of the army.
Now half of the tiger talisman is in the hands of the Luoyang military generals, and the other half is in the inner court, that is, in the hands of the eunuchs, and the two sides are in control of each other, which is also one of the means of balancing power since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the military system of the Han Dynasty, who recognizes the talisman and does not recognize the person, and those who move the army without the tiger talisman without authorization, regardless of the reason, reason, and purpose, will be punished for the crime of treason, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!
Therefore, He Jinkong has the name of a general, and if there is no other half of the tiger talisman, then the tens of thousands of garrisons around Luoyang will not be able to move a single soldier.
Of course, there is an exception, that is, this general has unparalleled prestige in the hearts of soldiers, even beyond the recognition of the tiger talisman, in a word, it is military law! For example, Zhou Bo, a general in the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, relied on the supreme prestige established in the hearts of the soldiers by virtue of his years of campaigning, and in the absence of a tiger talisman, he forcibly mobilized the soldiers of the Northern Army of Chang'an and quelled the Zhulu Rebellion.
And what about the current general, He Jin? It was all based on the position on the pillow wind, and there was no military exploit to boast of, plus the usual treatment of the soldiers was domineering, and there was no grace at all, and it was almost a pipe dream to call on the soldiers in his name, and everyone was at a loss for a while......
"If Meng De has any good plan, please ask me!" After looking around at everyone, in the end, He Jin still pinned his hopes on Cao Cao; As a general, although He Jin has no political talents, he has cultivated his sharp eye for killing pigs and selling meat for so many years.
That person is wearing silk and satin, but he is actually shy, and that clothes are usually wrapped in thousands of dollars, He Jin only needs to see it with a dozen eyes, and in his opinion, this room full of scholars seems to be extraordinary, such as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao brothers, ......, in fact, they are all unassertive goods at critical moments, among these people, only Cao Cao is alone!
