Empress Dowager He's repetition, the eunuch returned to the palace province within a few days, and everyone present already understood that there would inevitably be changes in Kyoto within a few days. This is already a tense situation, life and death, and through the mouths of Gao Gan, He Hao, and Zhong Xuan, the general He Jin is still faint again and again, and he is losing ground. Xu Chu's thoughts turned around in his mind, and he said in his heart: Zhongchang Servant, Xiao Huangmen and others, they are shocked a day, and they can't figure out He Jin's true thoughts, Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and others are very anxious, and now they are recalled to the palace by the Empress Dowager He, and they will definitely not be restrained. He Jin's death is probably just around the corner.

Xu Chu pondered and pondered, and Gao Gan suddenly said loudly: "Zhong Kang, Zhang Rang and the others were expelled, and they were recalled after a short time, which shows their potential!" It can also be known that the people in the palace really can't conspire with them. At the last moment, Jun Dang rose up and entered the Beijing Division, helping Yuan Sili and others to get rid of the castration! ”

Zhong Xuan realized the urgency of the situation, tugged on Xu Chu's sleeve, and said, "Time is not waiting, Zhong Kang should march to Chenggao in a hurry!" ”

Chenggao is still two hundred miles away from Luoyang, and Xu Chu is also afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the good time, so his face is eager, and he said that he is loyal: "Order the whole army to speed up the march and strive to reach Chenggao today!" ”

Things have come to this point, and Xu Chu's mentality has changed dramatically. Before, he and Guo Jia both thought that they were weak and not enough to make a difference in Luoyang, so they were not interested in entering Luoyang. This is also strange to Xu Chu who is not familiar with the history of this period of time, and only knows that He Jin died, and then Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to control the government, and he is not very clear about the details. Now that I am personally involved in the whirlpool, I know that 'there is a lot to be done'.

The arrival of Zhong Xuan, Gao Gan, He Yan and others made him feel that this was a good opportunity to show his face in front of the world, and it was also a good time to join Yuan Shao Group.

The joining here is not an investment, such as Cao Cao, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, etc., which are currently relying on Yuan Shao Group.

After walking for a long time, they slowed down their march after learning that Qiao Mao's troops had been ordered to stop their troops again, so they had not yet reached Chenggao, but they were dozens of miles in front of Xu Chu.

Xu Chu ordered his subordinates to continue to move forward until night, and finally arrived at their destination.

Chenggao County was set up in the Western Han Dynasty, and the name was 'Chengqi' in ancient times, and it was the ancient land of the East Country. There is also a legend that King Mu of Zhou once raised tigers in this place, also known as 'Tiger Prison'.

Chenggao is naturally the location of the famous Tiger Prison. Tiger Prison Pass is the world's male pass, since ancient times soldiers must fight, the status is very important. The reason why it is important is naturally because of the topography. To the east of Chenggao County, is Xingyang County, Xingyang further to the east, is the land of a horse and a flat river, only starting from the Chenggao area, the higher the terrain to the west, the more complicated, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, the hills and ravines are numerous, it is the natural danger of the magic workmanship. Tiger Prison Pass lives on one of the mountains, and the only winding valley road can be walked.

Xu Chu led the army into Chenggao County, and saw that the camp in the city was bright, so he knew that Qiaomao had arrived first.

In the land of one county, with 30,000 people from Qiaomao here, the stationing of Xu Chu's troops became a problem. The rapid march was quite tiring, and Xu Chu also thought about letting the soldiers take local materials, borrow things to make a fire, cook and boil water, and rest all night.

As soon as I entered the county, someone came to ask, and the person who came was none other than the general under Qiao Mao. The general asked Xu Chu and others about their identities, and the accompanying senior cadres came out of the crowd and talked to the general Chen about the relationship.

As a result, the general learned that it was Xu Chu from Yingchuan County and reported back to Qiaomao, who asked Xu Chu to be stationed in the southeast of Chenggao.

It is said that Xu Chu and others arrived, and Qiao Mao should have said something after knowing about it, even if he is the son of the late Taiwei Qiao Xuan, he is unwilling to deal with Xu Chu because of his self-esteem, so what about Zhong Xuan, Gao Gan, and He Yan? I didn't see anyone to invite me.

Xu Chu asked Zhong Xuan tentatively, Zhong Xuan sneered: "Qiaodong County thinks very highly of itself, only we take the initiative to see him, how can he send someone to ask me to wait." ”

On the side, Gao Gan even said: "Zhongkang still don't think about going to see Qiao Yuanwei and humiliating himself." ”

Xu Chu then dispelled the idea of seeing Qiao Mao. Nothing happened all night, waited until dawn, and continued westward. He Yan and Gao Gan were here, and it was the order of the general, Xu Chu and his subordinates passed through the Tiger Prison Pass smoothly. Tiger Prison Guan Xiong looked at the surrounding valley, and Xu Chu, Xi Zhong and other first-time visitors were all amazed.

"Back then, Gao Zu and Xiang Yu competed for this level, which lasted two and a half years. The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the tiger prison changed hands several times, and finally Gaozu took this pass and held it firmly, so that there was a matter of dividing the world with the chasm as the boundary. When I come here today, I know the danger of this pass, especially beyond imagination. Xi Zhong exclaimed.

After passing the Tiger Prison Pass for half a day, a horse flew in. But it was the accompanying heroes that Gao Gan had brought to Yu County, and Xu Chu recognized it.

"Yuancai! Big things are wrong! ”

When the man saw Gao Gan, he hurriedly shouted. Everyone was shocked, and before Gao Gan could speak, He Yan spoke first: "What's wrong?!" ”

"Yuan Sili sent me to Mianchi to investigate Dong Zhuojun's movements, and when I arrived in Mianchi, I found that Dong Jun had already left, so I guessed that Dong Bingzhou should have gone east to Kyoto!"

"What? What about the righteous doctor? Didn't he run into Dong Zhuo either? Zhong Xuan asked again.

However, when Chong Shao, who went to Mianchi to look for Dong Zhuo, set off, Dong Zhuo had already left Mianchi, and after rushing into the air, he hurriedly inquired about the whereabouts of Dong Zhuo's army from the local Qiantou, only to learn that Dong Zhuo had gone east to Luoyang a few days ago. So he inquired about Dong Zhuo's whereabouts all the way, and finally chased Dong Zhuo's army at the Sunset Pavilion.

Xu Chu didn't know about the Sunset Pavilion, Zhong Xuan, He Hao and others knew. Both of them were shocked, the sunset pavilion is located in the west of Luoyang City, alias 'Luoyang Pavilion', the so-called pavilion, generally refers to the pavilion closer to the city. According to the report of the high-ranking cadres, Dong Zhuo has actually arrived at the edge of Luoyang City!

This is no longer audacity, but doing whatever you want. Dong Zhuo's arrogance, especially in the eyes of Xu Chu, a traverser, could not be more obvious.

Since Gao Gan's doorman came from there, he must know about Dong Zhuo's troops. Xu Chu then asked about the people and horses brought by Dong Zhuo, and the high-ranking cadres replied: "About four or five thousand people." Then he said: "The prince found Dong Bingzhou and asked him why he did not obey the orders of the imperial court. ”

Xi Zhong then turned his face to He Hao and Zhong Xuan and said: "Four or five thousand is not enough to shake Luo **, please rest assured." ”

Xu Chu felt a chill in his heart, if He Jin didn't die, Dong Zhuo's four or five thousand elite soldiers might not be able to control Luoyang, but He Jin's death was approaching, Luoyang chaos was about to start, the eunuch killed He Jin, Yuan Shao killed the eunuch, a round of drama and singing, Dong Zhuo, who was near Luoyang, got the news as soon as possible, and naturally had a chance.

But these judgments are all based on the knowledge of Xu Chu's later generations, and it is not enough to tell everyone that the best way is to enter Luoyang before Dong Zhuo.

"I just don't know when He Jin died." Xu Chu said in his heart.

It can only be a matter of luck.

A day and a half later, Xu Chu led the crowd to Yanshi, and everyone was tired, so they took a break. At this time, it was only a day's journey from Luoyang, Xu Chu felt a little calm, and slept until dawn after inspecting the military camp with Xi Zhong, and then headed for Luoyang.

Gao Gan first returned to Luoyang to inform Yuan Shao, and left in the middle of the night with the doorman.

The closer you get to Luoyang, the more people you meet on the road. When the people saw that an army was coming, they dodged one after another, which always affected the speed of the march, and when the troops in front reported that they had reached the east of Luoyang City, it was already dark.

There are a total of 12 city gates in Luoyang, and there are three in the east of the city, from north to south are the upper east gate, the middle gate, and the Wangjing gate.

Xu Chu was going to enter the city from the Upper East Gate.

At the 'Qili Bridge', seven miles east of Luoyang City, Xu Chu met the people of the Yuan Dang who came to welcome him into the city.

Because it was evening, the man came far away on a horse, and Xu Chu couldn't tell who it was. When I got closer, I saw that it was an 'ugly' man with a short body and a full beard.

Before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first, Xu Chu heard a hearty laugh from afar, but when he saw it, he said: "I heard that Xu Yingchuan was heroic and vigorous, and when I saw it today, I was a warrior of the country!" ”

Xu Chu was wearing armor, with a saber hanging from his waist, riding on a horse, and he was indeed majestic.

"Xu Moujie martial arts, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and he praises it falsely." Xu Chu said modestly, "Forgive me for being clumsy, not being content?" ”

The man touched his thick beard, glanced at Xu Chu Haosheng a few times, and said with a hearty smile: "In Xia Cao Cao, the cursive character Mengde, is from the same county as you!" ”

Cao Cao! It's actually Boss Cao!

Xu Chu was a little reluctant to hug his thighs tightly...... Since entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, etc., celebrities and gentlemen, wise people can do, all of them have seen it. And Cao Cao, who was able to take these talents for his own use, once again made Xu Chu's heart flutter.

Cao Cao saw Xu Chu stunned there, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said to Zhong Xuan and the others disappreciatively: "Everyone, please go to Benchu's house with me." ”

Xu Chu relieved himself and smiled apologetically at Cao Cao, his mind turned sharply: Cao Cao talked and laughed, and at this time, He Jin must be safe and sound.

As a result, after settling the troops and stationing in the camp near the east gate, I learned from Cao Cao that He Jin was summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager He half an hour ago.

He Hao brushed it, his whole face turned pale, "Meng De, you ...... You said the general entered the palace? ”

Cao Cao snorted lightly and said, "I can't stop it." ”

Who's going to stop it? Naturally, it was Yuan Shao, Xun Shuang and others. The eunuch frightened the bird, there must be a plan in secret, He Jin will not go sooner or later, but it is really unwise to see the Empress Dowager He at this time!

Xu Chu's heart turned up in a stormy wave, and the change was tonight!
