Chapter Forty-Eight: Collect the troops and return to the camp

At night, outside the Imperial Palace, outside the Suzaku Gate, under the illumination of lanterns and torches, the two groups of people and horses glared at each other angrily, and confronted each other nervously!

The second master He Miao was angry at this time, originally taking advantage of the east wind of this coup, he not only got the title of 'mighty marquis', but also got a bumper harvest in the official position, his original position was 'general of the chariot cavalry', responsible for the defense of the city gate of Luoyang City, to put it bluntly, it is a role to watch the gate; The gate is also different, one is the palace gate for the Son of Heaven to enter and exit, and the other is the city gate for ordinary people to come and go, which can be the same day!

He Miao's character and his brother He Jin are the same, are nepotism, after receiving the tiger charm of the transfer of troops, in line with the principle that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, He Miao immediately mobilized his subordinates who were originally responsible for guarding the city gate to enter the palace, but just walked to the palace gate and was hit by a blow, the 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry' army guarding the Vermilion Bird Gate not only forbade them to enter the palace on the grounds that they did not receive the order to change the guard, but also set up a cordon, and there was a posture of force to block!

"It's bearable, it's unbearable!" He Miao is really angry now, "This is simply not to take him as a general...... Is the younger brother serious! ”

"Bold, I am the mighty marquis of the current Queen Mother, General Yulin, you are a small border military captain An dare to stop it!" He Miao roared loudly, first took out the title he had just obtained to show his majesty, and then took out a tiger talisman from his arms and said: "On the order of the general, take over the garrison of the imperial city, don't hurry up and get out of the way with me!" ”

"The last general was ordered to guard the palace gate, I don't know anything else!" Guarding the Vermilion Bird Gate is the second Yang He in the 'Yanmen Four Brothers', the other three of the four brothers are all fierce and straightforward people, but this Yang He is an exception, although this person has also practiced a good martial arts, but the mind is quite smart, the temperament is slightly cunning, and the four brothers have been acting as a military advisor who shakes the fan.

When Xiao Yi was crowned, it was this Yang He who took the opportunity to toast with a big sea bowl, in a vain attempt to get drunk with Xiao Yi, and his cunning can be seen from this, but then Xiao Yi showed his might, not only in riding and archery kung fu to convince everyone, but also invincible in terms of alcohol, and then after these days of rectification, now the 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry' army up and down, has long been convinced, oral, and admired by this only seventeen-year-old commander!

In fact, when He Miao took out the tiger talisman just now, Yang He also hesitated a little in his heart, after all, now the general He Jin can really be said to be in power, his sister is the queen mother, his nephew is the emperor, and he is a general, even the most unpromising younger brother He Miao has been made a marquis, such power, such scenery, is not inferior to Wei Qinglai, a famous general of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, although they are all relatives, when it comes to the real ability to command troops, this 'butcher general' He Jin can't even touch the heels of Wei Qing!

Although he was a little afraid of the power of the great general He Jin, Yang He still firmly guarded the palace gate, and did not let He Miao's soldiers enter, the reason is very simple, compared to He Jin, he was more afraid of Xiao Yi, as long as he thought of the commander's black hole-like eyes, as well as the action of touching his nose when smiling, Yang He shuddered and stopped He Miao, the result of disobeying the order of the general He Jin was that --- might die, but the consequence of disobeying Xiao Yi's order was that --- would definitely die!

"The lesser of two evils!" So Yang He had no choice but to die hard, but he was cunning by nature, on the one hand, he commanded his soldiers to unsheath their knives and string their bows, and was ready to block by force, and on the other hand, he immediately sent people to rush to report the situation to Xiao Yi.

When the two sides were holding each other, I saw the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army in the Vermilion Bird Gate split to both sides like waves, and then the stars and the moon walked out of a figure, the person had not yet arrived, but it was already full of murderous aura, and the two sides who were arguing immediately became silent, only to see that under the light of the fire, a terrifying 'Chiyou ghost face' appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing Xiao Yi appear, Yang He finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the initiative to retreat to the side, and gave up the position of the main general.

"On the orders of the great general, take over all the defense inside and outside the palace!" Seeing that the main master came out, He Miao took out a warrant from his arms again, gently clamped it with two fingers, and stretched it out very casually with the attitude of a superior official to his subordinates.

Without saying a word, Xiao Yi just stood there quietly, his eyes became sharper, looking at He Miao like two black lightning bolts, as if he wanted to see through this strong body at once, and dig out the humble and cowardly soul inside and torture ......, "A straw bag-like waste dares to play majestic in front of him!" ”

"By order of the great general, take over the defense of Miyagi! Please take the order! Being looked at by Xiao Yi's cold gaze was uncomfortable, He Miao hurriedly turned his head weakly, and looked at each other again, he was afraid that he would show cowardice on the spot, although he was far higher than this little commander with a terrifying mask in his position, but I don't know what's going on, in front of Xiao Yi, he just felt that he couldn't straighten his waist, as if he had a sense of humility in the depths of his soul, and the warrant that was originally held between his fingers was also changed to a one-handed grab, handed it over gently, and couldn't help but say the word 'please'!

"Humph!" Ignoring the warrant handed over, Xiao Yi took half a step forward instead, and held the 'Blood Wave Chopping Sword' on his waist with his right hand at the same time, and his whole body was full of murderous aura, affected by the murderous aura, the Chopping Jiao Sword was like a psychic, and there was a light roar like a dragon's groan in the scabbard, buzzing, as if he was going to come out urgently to drink human blood, at the same time, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army near the palace gate all drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the archers on the palace wall also set up arrows one after another, locking He Miao and others to death, as long as an order was given, blood would splash the palace gate.

The frightened one retreated three times in a row, He Miao was immediately frightened, he had never been in a battle formation, how could he have seen such a formation, as for the soldiers behind him, they were even more unbearable, one by one they were so frightened that they retreated, screaming more than once, and some of the timid ones even threw the blades in their hands to the ground, and if they were not good, they would immediately slip away!

In fact, this is not to blame He Miao's soldiers are useless, you know, Luoyang City, as the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has not experienced war for more than 200 years, these garrisons have been peaceful for a long time, and have long forgotten the instinct to fight.

"By order of the great general, take over the defense of Miyagi and beyond! Please take the order! Seeing that the Xuanjia Army did not make further moves, he hesitated again and again, this time He Miao stepped forward very humbly, held the warrant high with both hands, and respectfully sent it to Xiao Yi, no longer having the slightest arrogance just now, in the face of real force, his empty official position like a castle in the air is just a joke.

took the warrant from He Miao's hand, Xiao Yi didn't even look at it, he threw it directly into Yang He's arms, and then turned sideways to look at the brightly lit Yangde Hall in the middle of the night, and smiled coldly, "Collect the troops, go back to the camp!" ”

"No! ......" The military order is like a mountain, as Xiao Yi's order is issued, a specific horn sound in the Xuanjia Army sounds, and the low voice is like a long whale spitting wave, which quickly spreads to every corner of the palace......

……………………………………………………

In front of the Yangde Palace, the general He Jinzheng led a group of his subordinates to check the situation of the change of defense in the palace, and they stood on a high place to see the movement of soldiers and horses around them clearly.

I saw that with the sound of a horn, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, who were originally distributed everywhere, immediately raised their torches and quickly gathered together, and then automatically formed a formation and pulled out in the direction of the Suzaku Gate, in the middle of the night, countless torches gathered and merged like a small fire snake, and finally formed a neat and majestic fire dragon, entrenched outside the Suzaku Gate, the whole process was not only extremely fast, but also silent!

"The order is strict, and there is no panic in the middle of the night! Rare! Rare! Seeing the Xuanjia Army's rapid assembly action, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but light up, but then he regretted a pair of boots, and looked at He Jin and others beside him, his eyes were full of contempt and dissatisfaction, but thinking about his status at this time, he could only sigh, "Man, big man, is actually subject to the hands of these fools, it's really a sigh, when can you make your own decisions and take charge of everything?" ”

It was very unpleasant that he couldn't make the decisions, and for the first time, Cao Cao had a strong desire for absolute rights.

And at this time, He Jin's face was not very good, because at this time, the city gate guards led by He Miao began to take over the defense of the palace, compared with the neat military appearance of the Xuanjia Army, He Miao's subordinates were a group of croaking ducks, not only the formation was extremely chaotic, and they could not put on a defensive posture for a long time, but also filled with all kinds of noisy and noisy sounds......

"Could it be that I really did something wrong this time?" In this situation, He Jin also showed a trace of remorse in his eyes, the palace was heavily handed over to such an army to garrison, which was really uneasy, and then thought about his precious brother's ability to command the army, this kind of unease was even stronger, but the military order had been issued, because he was afraid that others would say that he would change his order and hurt his prestige, He Jin only had to pinch his nose and admit it.

Different from the previous two, Yuan Shao was proud at this time, as the commander of the army, he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of the Xuanjia Army and the City Gate Guard, and he knew the comparison between Xiao Yi and He Miao's ability, but he still advocated changing the guard, in addition to being jealous of Cao Cao's ability, there was another layer of deep meaning.

As we all know, the three pillars of the Han Dynasty are relatives, eunuchs, and scholars, and now through this coup, the power of eunuchs has been greatly weakened, and it will be difficult to turn over in a short period of time, so in the days to come, it should be the battle between the scholars headed by their Yuan family, and He Jin, these relatives, and now the tiger general like Xiao Yi is transferred out of the palace, which is equivalent to invisibly weakening He Jin's power.

Outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, the neat queue of the Xuanjia Army was marching towards the camp outside the city, and in the middle of the team, Yang He hesitated again and again, but still had the courage to ask: "Lord Commander, now that the He brothers are in power, why should we target them?" What if ......"

"Huh!" Smiling slightly, Xiao Yi glanced at He Miao, who was beaming proudly at this time, with a playful gaze, and then said word by word: "It's just a dying person, why care!" ”
