Two days later, Luoyang.

Ding Xiao and Lu Bu brought two personal guards, dressed in civilian clothes, and quietly appeared at Zhang Yang's house after dark.

Uncle Zhang Yangzi Ya, originally a native of Bingzhou, was originally engaged in Wu Meng under Ding Yuan, and Emperor Ling set up eight captains in Xiyuan in order to divide the military power, and ordered the county guards to send military generals under his command to join, Ding Yuan sent Zhang Yang to Beijing Division, and made the post of "fake Sima" in the Xiyuan Army, which was directly under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo, one of the military captains and ten permanent attendants.

This Zhang Yang was promoted by Ding Yuan, and he had a good relationship with Lu Bu. Historically, after Ding Yuan's death, Zhang Yang successively feudal generals, Hanoi Taishou, and Da Sima, and when Lu Bu was in trouble, he came to the rescue many times.

So this time, Ding Xiao chose to settle in the publicity, on the one hand, this person is loyal and reliable, on the other hand, it is also to facilitate the use of the other party's identity to inquire about the news.

"Fengxian, why did you choose this time to appear here?"

After seeing Lu Bu, Zhang Yang was not only surprised, but also a little worried on his face.

Because according to the Han law, if a local official is not appointed, he is not allowed to leave his post without authorization, let alone enter Beijing without authorization.

"Uncle Ya, don't worry, I have resigned from my official position, and I am only here to travel." Lu Bu replied with a smile according to what Ding Xiao had taught.

"Resigned? Why? Zhang Yang was a little puzzled.

"We'll talk about that later."

Ding Xiao noticed that Zhang Yang had just emphasized the sentence "pick this time", and he had already guessed in his heart, so he interjected, "Brother Zhang, what happened in Beijing?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yang frowned and looked at Ding Xiao, thinking that the other party was a small follower of Lu Bu, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, "Fengxian, this is ......"

"Oh, I haven't had time to introduce it to you, this is General Ding's son, my brother-in-law, Ding Xiao." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yang was deeply surprised, "When did General Ding have a son?" Wait a minute! Your brother-in-law? What does this mean? ”

"Haha, it's a long story, I'll talk about it briefly......"

Lu Bu laughed, and explained Ding Xiao's origin and his marriage to Ding Feng concisely.

"I see."

Zhang Yang suddenly realized.

"Little brother Ding Xiao, meet Brother Zhang!"

Ding Xiao stepped forward at the right time, then took out a letter and handed it forward, "This is a letter written by my father, and I also ask Brother Zhang to take care of the two of us during this time." ”

"Haha, you don't have to be polite!"

Ding Yuan's letter was very brief, and after reading it, Zhang Yang eliminated his vigilance and changed his attitude greatly, "Our family doesn't talk to each other, you come to this Jingshi, I naturally have to do the friendship of the landlord!" ”

After some politeness, the three quickly got acquainted and chatted very happily.

"Fengxian, why did you resign so well?" Zhang Yang was very puzzled by this question, so he brought it up again.

Lu Bu smiled and didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Ding Xiao, "Let's let Xiao'er talk to you." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Yang also looked at Ding Xiao, his expression a little surprised.

It seems that this Ding Xiao is young, but he is the leader of this matter?

"Brother Zhang, do you say first, is there a big incident in Beijing?" Ding Xiao did not answer the rhetorical question.

"What ...... this?"

After Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, he smiled apologetically, "This matter involves military secrets, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose it." ”

"Huh."

Ding Xiao smiled slightly, "Brother Zhang, in fact, if you don't say it, I can guess it." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Yang suddenly became interested, "Then you can guess!" ”

"I guess ......"

Ding Xiao lowered his voice and said, "The Son of Heaven has died!" ”

"What?!"

Lu Bu on the side was shocked, before coming, Ding Xiao did not disclose the news to him, so at this time, he seemed a little panicked, "Brother Xiao, be careful!" ”

And Zhang Yang was full of surprise, and began to look at Ding Xiao again.

"This ...... Uncle Ya, is this true? ”

Seeing that Zhang Yang hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Bu couldn't help but move in his heart, and then opened his mouth to ask.

"That's true!"

Zhang Yang nodded with a heavy expression, "The Son of Heaven just died half an hour ago, but Master Jian Shuo has an order and does not mourn secretly, so this matter has not spread." ”

"Bold! How dare he do that?! ”

Lu Bu's face was furious, and he stood up suddenly, "How can you not report such a big event?" What did he want? ”

"He wants to make nine-year-old Liu Xie the emperor!"

Ding Xiao spoke indifferently, got up and pressed Lu Bu back to his seat, "Brother-in-law, don't be impatient, he will never succeed in this matter!" ”

"Why?"

Lu Bu and Zhang Yang asked almost at the same time.

"Because the general He Jin is in Beijing at this time!"

Ding Xiao said with a smile, "He Jin, as Liu Wei's uncle, how can he allow others to succeed him?!" ”

"But ......"

Considering that Ding Xiao had already guessed this, Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment and then expressed his worries, "But now that the entire palace has been controlled by the Ten Standing Attendants, I'm afraid the general may not know about it at this time!" ”

After the incident, Jian Shuo frequently mobilized people and arranged all the palace guards as his direct cronies, and Zhang Yang and other foreign generals were all sent home and ordered not to leave the house for half a step.

"That's ......"

Ding Xiao's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was an opportunity to get acquainted with He Jin, Cao Cao and others, so he asked Zhang Yangdao, "I wonder if Brother Zhang is loyal to that Jian Shuo?" ”

"Humph! My allegiance is to the Han family! That Jian Shuo is only a eunuch, why should I be loyal to him? Zhang Yang said indignantly.

Obviously, Zhang Yang did things under the traitor Jian Shuo, and he was not reused, and his life was not going well.

"Good!"

Ding Xiao was waiting for this sentence, laughed and stood up, "Then there is Brother Lao Zhang, take us to General He and report this matter to him!" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yang's face was embarrassed, "But there are soldiers at the door of my house, so we can't get out!" ”

"Haha, with my brother-in-law here, why are those sergeants afraid?!" Ding Xiao said disapprerovingly.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yang had no choice but to say what he was really worried about, "But after all, they were ordered by Jian Shuo, if I forcibly leave, I am afraid that I will be persecuted by Jian Shuo in the future......"

"Haha, Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about this!"

Ding Xiao smiled with a relaxed expression, "It's hard to say whether Jian Shuo can survive tonight!" ”

"You mean ......"

Enlightenment rose in Zhang Yang's heart, and his eyes gradually became bright.

"Not bad!"

Ding Xiao nodded heavily, "You have to understand, this is a battle for the throne!" So tonight the palace will be stained with blood until one side falls! ”

After a pause, he looked at Zhang Yang with a smile, "I bet that He Jin will win, what about you?" ”

"I'm also betting on how to win!"

At this time, Zhang Yang no longer hesitated, and clearly showed his attitude.

But Lu Bu on the side was full of worries.

"Not necessarily, right?"

He frowned and analyzed, "Jian Shuo's eight captains in Xiyuan, all of them are strong and strong, although the general He Jin has military power and can mobilize the world's troops, but in this Beijing division, I am afraid he may not be able to gain the upper hand!" ”

"Haha, Feng Xian doesn't know."

Zhang Yang said with a smile on the side, "In the Xiyuan Army, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and other captains are separated from that Jian Shuo's appearance, and they don't listen to his dispatch at all, all he can mobilize is his own people!" So today, Jian Shuo will definitely lose!! ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ding Xiao, "Brother Xiao, could it be that you have guessed these situations before?" ”

"Of course!"

Ding Xiao smiled indifferently, looking calm and relaxed, "That eunuch is corrupt and arbitrary, and he is not popular at all, even the gentle and elegant Brother Zhang is unwilling to obey him, let alone those arrogant Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yang and Lu Bu glanced at each other, and they both saw a strong look of shock in each other's eyes.

After this incident, Ding Xiao suddenly established an image of "knowing things like a god" in the hearts of the two, and it will be difficult to erase it in this life.
