When Ding Yuan received Zhang Liao's return, it was not surprising, if Ye Zhao could let them enter the customs so easily, then Yuan Kui would not tell himself to be careful of Ye Zhao and try not to conflict, obviously Ye Zhao and they did not belong to the same camp.

"What's wrong with Bongxian?" After inquiring about official affairs, Ding Yuan looked at Zhang Liaodao with some doubts.

Since Lu Bu returned to the camp, he didn't say a word, sullen, obviously suffered a loss, which surprised Ding Yuan, even if Ye Zhao was famous, but in Ding Yuan's mind, facing the enemy head-on, he might not be able to win Lu Bu, Lu Bu's performance made Ding Yuan have a strong interest in what happened in the Tiger Prison Pass.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he smiled bitterly and told him what happened under the Tiger Prison before.

"It's better to suffer some losses." Ding Yuan was also a little speechless when he heard the process, he was deceived to the city so easily, is this Lu Bu too confident in himself, and snorted: "He has no one in his eyes, if he doesn't suffer some losses, he will definitely die a good death!" ”

Zhang Liao was silent when he heard this, what Ding Yuan said may be right, but Lu Bu's current appearance doesn't look like there is a sign of introspection, but he is thinking about how to get back to this field, and when he meets Ye Zhao again in the future, I am afraid that there will inevitably be conflicts.

But it's not easy to say this again, Zhang Liao bowed down and said, "Assassin Shi, then what should I do now?" ”

They were nominally invited to come to the Qingjun side, but in fact this is a palace coup, if they win, it is the Qingjun's side, if they lose, they are chaotic ministers and thieves, and it is a big rebellion, but anyway, the first step is to go to Luoyang, and now they can't even enter the Tiger Prison, let alone do other things.

"Since the Tiger Prison Pass can't be passed, then go to Xuanyuan Pass!" Ding Yuan shook his head and said: "Luoyang Eight Passes, not only the Tiger Prison Pass can be passed, the revolving gate guard Li Gan is my old friend, and he should be released." ”

Forcibly breaking the pass Ding Yuan didn't think about it, not to mention whether he could break the pass, even if he could break it, the loss would be huge, and he might not be able to play any role when he arrived in Luoyang, and he would completely provoke Ye Zhao, there was no need for this.

"It's just that the revolving gate pass is rugged on the mountain road, if there is an ambush, I'm afraid it's ......" Zhang Liao hesitated, the revolving gate pass is different from the Tiger Prison Pass, although it is a small pass, but it is hidden in the mountains, the road is rugged, not conducive to the march of the army, it is easy to be ambushed.

"Don't worry, Taifu has already arranged it." Ding Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, most of the eight passes in Luoyang are garrisoned by people from the family, and there will be no danger, at most it will be difficult to walk, and it will take more time and grain and grass.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao was inconvenient to say any more, and immediately retreated to the village according to Ding Yuan's instructions, repaired here for a day, and prepared to pull out the camp early tomorrow morning, and enter through the revolving door.

Early the next morning, the news of Ye Zhaobian's Dao Ding Yuan detour.

"Turnstile?" Ye Zhao pondered the terrain of the Revolving Gate Pass, shook his head and said: "The mountain road of the Revolving Gate Pass is rugged, and there are three thousand cavalry under Ding Yuan's command, and there are no three or five days, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass, but that Li Gan is a protégé of the Yuan family, but there will be no danger, where is Dong Zhuo now?" ”

"It's already past the pond, but in the past few days, Panhuan has refused to go again in the area of Gucheng." The spy bowed.

"How many soldiers does he have?" Ye Zhao asked again.

"This ......," the agent hesitated, "there should be twenty or thirty thousand." ”

"Twenty or thirty thousand?" Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at the secret agent: "Why are you so uncertain?" ”

"Back to the lord." The secret agent said bitterly: "That Dong Zhuo is extremely strict with the outside world, and we can't get close even if we turn into ordinary people, and the soldiers and horses under his command go back and forth every day, we can only judge by the number of stoves, but this judgment is not accurate, and I dare not be sure because of my humble position." ”

"Let's go down." Ye Zhao waved his hand when he heard this, signaling the spy to leave.

After the spy left, Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "In this way, Dong Zhuo does not have many soldiers and horses around him, so he is suspicious and confuses the public." ”

When Ye Zhao heard this, he nodded silently, now that Dong Zhuo has the edict of the Son of Heaven in his hand, if he has enough soldiers and horses in his hands, there is no need to pretend to be a ghost like this, just lead the troops directly into Luoyang, why do you need to do this? This kind of approach, in the eyes of others, may be clever, but in the eyes of those who really understand, it is obviously a manifestation of Dong Zhuo's weakness.

Now Dong Zhuo Panhuan is standing still near Gucheng, firstly, he is not sure to compete with Luoyang's army, and secondly, he is afraid that he is also waiting for Luoyang City to change, ready to seize the opportunity.

However, compared to Dong Zhuo, Ye Zhao is more curious about Luoyang's reaction now, Dong Zhuo is now running to Gucheng with great fanfare, even if there are scholars who are confused, He Jin has no reason not to notice it.

……

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

"It's done!" When Gao Wang came to Zhang Rang's palace excitedly, he saw that Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and others had gathered here at this moment, and seeing that everyone was there, Gao Wang said with some excitement: "There is just news from outside the palace, Dong Zhuo led 50,000 elite soldiers, and now they are stationed in Gucheng, just wait for me to give an order, and they can enter the city at any time!" ”

Compared with Gao Wang's excitement, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and others had solemn faces and did not respond.

"Let Gong?" Gao Wang looked at Zhang Rang suspiciously, why everyone had a serious look on their faces.

"I received a letter from Dong Zhuo yesterday." Zhang Rang sighed.

"Oh?" Gao Wang also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, looked at Zhang Rang, and asked in a low voice, "Bad news?" ”

"It's not bad, but it's pretty much the same." Song Dian on the side explained: "Then Dong Zhuo said that the troops are insufficient, and it is difficult to compete with the soldiers and horses of Luoyang, so he has to let me wait to kill He Jin, so that he can take advantage of the weakness to enter." ”

"Ridiculous!" When Gao Wang heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly: "If we have this ability, why should we ask him for help?" ”

"Recently, the butcher and the scholars have been persecuted very tightly, and the group of scholars in the court have jointly asked for the elimination of us several times, although it is He Jin who has blocked it, but I think this is just their trick, if it goes on like this, if I don't wait for Dong Zhuo to enter the court, I am afraid that we will already become a ghost under the knife, and we can't wait any longer." Zhao Zhong sighed, looked at Zhang Rang and said, "Please let the prince have an idea." ”

Among the ten permanent servants, Zhang Wang has the greatest prestige and is also the most strategic, at this moment they are trapped in the palace, communication with the outside world is not smooth, and they know very little about what is happening outside the palace, otherwise, they will not regard He Jin as an enemy.

"Let me think about it." Zhang Rang pinched his eyebrows, and it was okay to let him play with power, but it was also difficult for him to make suggestions.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be silent, the ten permanent servants are now quite a bit frightened by the feeling of birds, the attitude of the scholars towards them is getting worse and worse, and even a few days ago, some people wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, but were blocked by the scholars, obviously to catch up with the rhythm of killing, and the ten permanent servants now have no soldiers and no power in their hands, in the face of the aggressiveness of the scholars, the ten permanent servants can only be a man with their tails between their legs, even so, they are still subject to all kinds of strong malice from the outside world, and it is difficult to survive.

"If it's just to kill He Jin, it's not difficult." Song Dian said suddenly.

"Song Gong has a clever plan, come quickly!" Zhang Rang and the others hurriedly looked at Song Dian.

Song Dian nodded and said: "The reason why He Jin is so arrogant now is nothing more than holding the Luoyang military power, but he can't always take this Luoyang soldiers and horses with him!" ”

"You mean......" Zhang Rang's heart moved, and he somewhat understood Song Dian's thoughts.

"If you want to kill him, the only way to kill him is to separate him from his soldiers and horses, and we will ambush the soldiers and gather them together and rape him!" Song Dian said in a deep voice: "As long as the butcher is killed, we only need an edict, and all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang belong to us, why are you afraid of the scholars?" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but burn, as if they saw them return to the time when they controlled the power of the world in the past.

Zhao Zhong groaned: "Even if we have some hands, they are all in this North Palace, although the butcher is arrogant, but this North Palace land, but they don't dare to cross it without permission, how can we trick him into the palace?" ”

"But it's not hard!" Zhang Rang smiled: "Just summon her into the palace in the name of the Queen Mother." ”

"In that case, I'm going to find someone to recruit that butcher into the palace!" Zhao Zhong said with a smile.

"Good~"

……

"Can you tell me why I didn't know until Dong Zhuo arrived in Gu City!?" In the general's mansion, looking at Yuan Shao, Wang Yun, Cao Cao and others under the tent, He Jin's face was gloomy and a little scary.

He is a great general, holding the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and he is the maternal uncle of today's son, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, but it was not until Dong Zhuo had arrived in Gucheng that he realized that he had traveled thousands of miles from Xiliang to here? Dong Zhuo's march took two months, to say the least, but he didn't get any news, and the 30,000 army was enough to pose a great threat to Luoyang.

"The general is angry!" Wang Yun got up and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo led the army to come, I have already got the news before, but I don't know why Dong Zhuo came, Yun heard that Dong Zhuo had a deep friendship with the general in the past, and he always thought that it was the army of King Qin recruited by the general. ”

I'll recruit a fart, and when I say this, the ghost won't believe it!

He Jin scolded angrily in his heart, looked at everyone, and sneered: "Dong Zhuo and I do have a friendship, but that was many years ago, since he received the Liangzhou pastor, he has cut off contact, this general is curious, how did you invite him." ”

Wang Yun and the others' faces changed, and they hurriedly bowed down and said, "General, this Dong Zhuo came to Beijing and has nothing to do with us. ”

This matter really has nothing to do with them, and so far, they have only guessed that Dong Zhuo's arrival is related to Ye Zhao.

"Really?" He Jin just smiled coldly, with the improvement of his status, now the rift between him and the scholar is getting deeper and deeper, coupled with the early deception, it also makes He Jin greatly distrust the words of the scholar.

"Master~" The housekeeper of the He Mansion came in, bowed down and said, "There are palace people who ask to see outside." ”

"Miyato?" He Jin frowned and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, a small yellow door came in under the leadership of the housekeeper, but it was a fresh face.

"What?" He Jin said impatiently.

"Back to the general, the queen mother sent a slave to inform the general that there is something important to discuss, please enter the palace immediately."
