Chapter 43: The Death of He Jin

On the second day, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao arrived outside Luoyang City, and the troops were in Chenggao County, while Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops were in the Sunset Pavilion, forming a joint encirclement with Ding Yuan's army.

He Jin felt that the time had come, so he ordered his subordinate Wang Kuang to lead elite crossbowmen to replace the forbidden army and occupy the city wall of Luoyang.

In this way, Empress Dowager He really panicked, and no longer dared to shield the ten permanent attendants, and immediately dismissed all the permanent attendants and Xiao Huangmen.

"Haha, brother Xiao, the general has won!"

After returning home in the evening, Lu Bu excitedly shared the news with Ding Xiao, "I didn't expect this matter to be so easy, I can pick up your second sister and them now, right?" ”

"Brother-in-law, don't be too happy, the general just won a game on the surface."

Ding Xiao already knew the news, so he shook his head slowly.

"Why?"

Lu Bu put away his smile and looked puzzled, "Isn't this matter over yet?" ”

Ding Xiao nodded solemnly, "This is just the beginning." ”

"But it doesn't make sense! I really can't think of any danger now. Lu Bu asked.

"It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God."

After Ding Xiao shook his head and sighed, he asked with a smile, "Although Dong Zhuo only brought 5,000 men and horses, his 200,000 Liangzhou iron horsemen have already arrived outside Chang'an City, and they are stationed in Shanglin Yuan. What should we do then? ”

"But the general has already ordered him to stay where he is, could it be that he still dares to disobey?" Lu Bu exclaimed.

"I don't dare now."

Ding Xiao smiled, "But what if the general dies?" ”

Now, Lu Bu has gradually won his trust, and He Jin's death is not far away, so he appropriately revealed a little tone.

"What?!"

Lu Bu was shocked, "You said the general would die?" Is it ......?"

"I'll just say just in case."

Ding Xiao pouted and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't dare to talk nonsense outside!" ”

"I'm sure I know that, but what you're saying is terrifying."

Lu Bu was still immersed in a huge shock at this time, and complained with palpitations.

"Brother-in-law, you should take advantage of the general's happiness these days, and hurry up and ask for a transfer from the Beijing Division." Ding Xiao spoke again to persuade.

Lu Bu thought that if He Jin really died, then he would have no backstage in this capital, and then he would be in trouble if he wanted to be promoted or transferred.

Thinking of this, he stood up and hurried out.

"I'm going to go to the general and talk about it!"

It's a pity that this time He Jin persecuted the Queen Mother, basically Yuan Shao was contributing, and Lu Bu was excluded and had no credit on him, so after half an hour, he returned to his residence dejectedly.

"The general disagreed, saying that there was no vacancy in the place for the time being, and he would consider it later."

"That's ......"

Ding Xiao touched his chin and nodded slightly.

In fact, for Lu Bu, he was already prepared with both hands.

If Lu Bu can move out, it is the best option, so that the Ding family will have two territories at the same time when the competition begins.

But now, LΓΌ Bu was forced to stay in Beijing, so he had no choice but to start using alternatives.

"Otherwise, I'll resign and go back to the state!"

Lu Bu said angrily on the side, "Then Yuan Shao is now an official and a lieutenant, commanding the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, and his uncle is even more noble as a prince, how can I get mixed up in this capital in the future?!" ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry about the Yuan family."

Ding Xiao grinned, "Because once Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, the Yuan family will be unable to protect itself!" ”

Historically, Yuan Shao was a coward, and as soon as Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he left the forbidden army and ran away alone. Later, because of the rebellion against Dong Zhuo, he killed his uncle Yuan Kui's family.

"Oh?"

Lu Bu's expression perked up, "Why did Brother Xiao say this?" ”

"Heaven must not be divulged."

Ding Xiao smiled very reservedly, "Brother-in-law doesn't need to ask more, you will see it soon!" ”

"You're boring, aren't you?"

Lu Bu glared at Ding Xiao with some resentment, "Every time I don't say it at a critical moment, isn't this deliberately hanging my appetite?" ”

"I'm just guessing."

Ding Xiao pretended to be mysterious, "But this matter involves a huge amount of money, and I can't talk about it." ”

"Well, in that case, I won't force you anymore." Lu Bu said helplessly.

After this conversation, in the next few days, Lu Bu's behavior became more low-key than before.

But what puzzled him was that there was calm in Beijing, and He Jin had been living well, only Yuan Shao had been busy and was hunting down the relatives of eunuchs.

"This time, did Brother Xiao miscalculate?" Lu Bu began to have a trace of doubt in his heart.

He didn't know that the Ten Standing Servants, who had lost their power, had not completely given up, and they didn't want to sit still.

Seeing that his relatives in various places were killed one by one, the ten permanent servants felt that He Jin would kill them sooner or later, so he used the excuse of serving the queen mother for the last time before leaving Beijing, and entered the palace again, and ambushed fifty masters in the palace.

After Yuan Shao and others, who were waiting outside the palace, learned the news, they immediately led their troops into the palace and wantonly rounded up the eunuchs, regardless of their age or position, and killed them when they saw them!

"What? The general is really dead?! ”

After getting the news, Lu Bu's heart was shocked, and he was speechless for a long time.

If Ding Xiao was like a god before, just to make him admire, then now, Ding Xiao can judge life and death, which is enough to arouse his awe.

"Brother Xiao is really a god!"

With this sigh, he immediately went back to the house to find Ding Xiao and discuss what he should do.

"Brother Xiao, you really got it right! Now that the city is full of soldiers, what should you and I do?! ”

"My brother-in-law came back just in time, and I was about to send someone to look for you."

Ding Xiao smiled calmly, "It's almost time, take your people and come with me." ”

"Where are we going?"

Lu Bu asked as he walked.

"Go and save the Emperor." Ding Xiao said casually.

"You want me to enter the palace?"

After Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, his face was embarrassed, "I didn't get a military order today, and it is already a big crime to transfer troops without authorization, in case I run into Yuan Shao when I enter the palace, I can't tell you about it!" ”

"It's okay, we're going to escort us, what's the crime?"

Ding Xiao smiled disappreciatively.

"Escort?"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he sensitively realized that this was a great opportunity for him to establish meritorious service, so he readily agreed, "Okay!" I'm going to get some of the people in the headquarters! ”

Half an hour later, the two appeared at the gate of the palace with the team, but at this time, Yuan Shao's younger brother Huben Zhonglang had already blocked the palace gate, and when he saw Lu Bu leading the troops here, his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"Lu Bu, the general has just been killed, and we are on an order to fight for thieves, are you here late at night with troops to rebel?"

"Brother Xiao, what should I do?"

Lu Bu asked in a low voice, "Do you want to kill it?" ”

"No!"

Ding Xiao shook his head, "We're here to escort us, so we don't have to clash with them." ”

"So what now? Wait here, or go back? Lu Bu asked a little irritably.

"Nope."

Ding Xiao didn't expect Yuan Shao to leave Yuan Shu to block the palace gate, but the Yuan brothers would definitely not have thought that the young emperor should no longer be in the palace at this time.

"Let's go, let's get out of town!"

"Out of town?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment.
