Jiang Sheng deliberately expressed his concern for the imperial court during the banquet, that is, in order to test everyone's position, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao seemed to have already had ideas, while the others did not have an opinion, just acted according to the wind.

The plan to eliminate the eunuchs began to take shape in Jiang Sheng's mind, according to historical records, Emperor Ling did not have a few days to live, once Emperor Ling died, he must quickly cut through the mess and get rid of the eunuchs, otherwise it would be difficult to have a chance to succeed.
Jiang Sheng decided to stay in Luoyang on the pretext of training the new army, plotting to eradicate the eunuchs, and had many contacts with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The frequent intersection of the three made Zhang Rang know, and he hurriedly convened all the attendants to discuss countermeasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiang Sheng, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao have had frequent meetings recently, and the situation is not good." Zhang said.
"These three people have always been against us, and they colluded with He Jin, and now they are in charge of the new army, and their strength is not bad, looking at their performance during this time, they must be plotting against us, we have to strike first." Zhao Zhongdao.
"It's never going to work. They are all people who can fight well, and they have military positions, we can't act rashly, in case they clean up the snakes, they lead the army into the palace, how can we wait? "Duan Qi is not a fool, and he analyzes it thoroughly.
"After Yuan Shao is a famous family, there are many protégés and old officials, but the ability to lead the army is average, although Cao Cao has the reputation of being good at fighting, but the strength is weak, they can only rely on He Jin to make trouble, He Jin is indecisive, everything obeys the will of Queen Lingsi, as long as we convince the queen, He Jin will be difficult to succeed, without He Jin, this Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can't set off any storms, the only thing our family is worried about Jiang Sheng."
"What Lord Zhang said is extremely true, this Jiang Sheng can fight well, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, and his prestige in the army is also very high, it is really a big trouble for our henchmen, it is said that in the name of suppressing the yellow scarf, he recruited soldiers in Le'an to expand his strength, which should not be underestimated."
"Then we'll let Jiang Sheng leave Jingshi." Zhao Zhongdao.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The traitor Zhang Chun made chaos in Ji and Youzhou, and the cavalry captain Gongsun Zan had insufficient troops and failed one after another, why don't we let Jiang Sheng lead the army to Youzhou to fight for thieves? In this way, we can justifiably branch him out, and without Jiang Sheng in the Jingshi, we will not only be as safe as Mount Tai, but also take the opportunity to get rid of He Jin. Zhao Zhong's idea was unanimously agreed by everyone.
After the ten permanent servants formed a unified opinion, Zhang Rang went to find Jian Shuo.
"What Master Zhang said is not unreasonable, but this Jiang Sheng has no intention of getting rid of us, and the new military academy captain should stay in Luoyang to train the army."
"Captain Jian said this, I think it was Bao Jiang Sheng?"
"Lord Zhang, you can't beat a single word in everything, Jiang Sheng was originally begging for thieves in Youzhou, but we recalled him, and now we have asked him to go to Youzhou, which is not reasonable. Besides, there are Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in Youzhou presiding over the situation, so why bother to let Jiang Sheng get involved again? ”
"Since Captain Jian said so, then our family has no choice but to propose it to the emperor." Zhang Rang was angry in his heart, what's so great about you? I didn't expect our family to lift you up before, but I didn't take me seriously when I became a military captain, and I will make you look good.
"Lord Zhang, please-" Jian Shuo was not afraid at all, and sent the guests directly and bluntly.
Zhang Rangtie blushed his face and walked away, this Jian Shuo looked at Zhang Rang's back contemptuously, do you still think I am a house slave who wags his tail and begs for mercy to you?
Gongsun Zhan's successive defeats made Emperor Ling very annoyed, this is also an emergency document forged by Zhang Rang, although Gongsun Chan lost one after another, but still insisted on killing the enemy, and did not ask the court for help, Zhang Rang made this decision in order to let Jiang Sheng lead the army to the expedition.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yu is too weak, and that Gongsun Zan is unfavorable for a long time, so that the traitor will grow, and it will be difficult to deal with it when the time comes."
"How do you think this matter is resolved?"
"Jiang Sheng, the lieutenant of the military academy, can fight well, and he can share the emperor's worries."
"Oh, why didn't I think of him, it's just that I have already given him a marriage and will get married on a certain date, if I go on the expedition at this time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Emperor Ling then didn't want Jiang Sheng to go on the expedition.
"Your Majesty, the old slave Ling Taishi has calculated that it is not suitable for the princess to marry within half a year, and there will be an auspicious day at the turn of summer and autumn next year. This is Zhang Rang's nonsense, how does he know when it is an auspicious day? It's just that Emperor Ling has always trusted him, and when he heard him say this, he thought it was true.
"Okay, let Jiang Sheng lead the army to fight against Zhang Chun."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, Gepi Yellow Turban is powerful, and it is difficult for the soldiers of the state and county governments to resist, and the old slave proposes to let Bao Hong, the left captain of the auxiliary army, lead the army to quell the chaos."
This Bao Hong was originally He Jin's person, and Zhang Rang did not stop doing it, and simply further weakened the strength of the new army in Beijing. Emperor Ling didn't think much about it, and immediately approved it.
Let's say that although Jian Shuo hated Zhang Rang, what Zhang Rang said about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao instigating He Jin to try to deal with the eunuch party still made him happy.
Although Jian Shuo is in charge of the new army, he is still a little afraid of He Jin's forces, he knows that although he is in charge of the army, he knows that he has no prestige in the army, so he thinks about it and decides to transfer He Jin out of Beijing, so that he can control the situation in Beijing, and there will be no pressure on the destruction of Zhang Rang and his ilk.
As for Jiang Sheng, although Jian Shuo had benefited from Jiang Sheng, he did not regard Jiang Sheng as his own, and when Jiang Sheng's attitude was unclear, he left him in the Jingshi Army, Jian Shuo was not at ease, so he also went to see Emperor Ling.
Zhang Rang had just left, and he was meeting Jian Shuo, looking at him coldly.
Jian Shuo said: "The captain of this school has thought about it again and again, and I feel that what Lord Zhang said is reasonable, so He Jin staying in Beijing is really not good for us, I want to invite He Jin out of Beijing, I wonder if Lord Zhang can help me say a few more words in front of the emperor?" ”
Zhang Rang saw that Jian Shuo thought the same as his goal, and his face softened a little, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, Captain Jian, please-"
Emperor Ling saw that Zhang Rang was gone and returned, and Jian Shuo also came, so he said: "Jian Shuo, you came just in time, I still want to summon you, I want Jiang Sheng to go north to conquer Zhang Chun, Bao Hong to conquer Gepi in the south, you go and dispatch." ”
"Your Majesty, the rebellion in the world is not only these two places, the official army of Liangzhou has been defeated again and again, Han Sui and Ma Teng have made a rebellion, and the old slave thinks that the general is brave and strategic, and he can lead the army to Liangzhou to quell the chaos." Jian Shuo directly said his thoughts, he can control He Jin, so he doesn't have to go through He Jin's consent.
"Your Majesty, what Captain Jian said is very true, please ask the emperor to order the general to go to Han Sui and Ma Teng."
"Okay, according to your opinion, come and summon the general He into the palace to meet you." Emperor Ling approved, which allowed He to enter the palace.
Xiao Huangmen hurriedly went to pass the edict, He Jin was very puzzled by such a anxious summons, and asked about Xiao Huangmen, who said that Emperor Ling sent Jiang Sheng and Bao Hong to fight against the rebels.
