The new emperor ascended the throne, but Jian Shuo was still entrenched in the North Palace, so after the enthronement ceremony was hastily ended, the general He Jin received the holy decree and personally went out to raise 5,000 Janissaries to attack the North Palace.

In addition to the remnants of the army in the North Palace, there are also the Yulin Army led by the eunuchs Guo Sheng and Zhao Zhong, the imperial and queen guards, the palace on duty and the captain of the honor guard, about more than 2,000 people.

The area of the North Palace is larger than that of the North Palace, and Jian Shuo is not the opponent of He Jin's 15,000 men and horses with 10,000 defenders, and now there are only 2,000 people, how can he be the opponent of He Jin's 5,000 men and horses.

Moreover, when Guo Sheng and Zhao Zhong heard the bell of Nangong and the sound of chanting long live, they naturally decided very smartly that Jian Shuo would soon fail, and naturally they didn't want to die with him.

Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were still in the North Palace, and the two of them stayed in the largest Deyang Hall in the North Palace, quietly, listening to the sound of fighting outside.

He Jin did not attack the North Palace from three sides, but concentrated five thousand soldiers and horses and carried out a fierce attack from the south gate, and the east and west gates were only auxiliary attacks.

In this way, it made it more convenient for Jian Shuo to defend, and most of the 2,000 men and horses were concentrated at the south gate, and Jian Shuo selected 800 young and strong ones from the 2,000 eunuchs in the North Palace, issued weapons, and temporarily incorporated into the forbidden army to assist in defending the city.

There are not only 2,000 eunuchs in Beigong, but also at least 3,000 palace maids, who usually don't feel that there are many people, but when they gather, even Jian Shuo was taken aback, and thought to himself, no wonder the treasury has always been short of money and rice.

Jian Shuo was already a trapped beast, and his resistance was quite fierce, repelling wave after wave of attacks from He Jinjun, and the fight between the two sides was quite fierce. However, everyone was more sensible, He Jin didn't dare to use the rocket attack method, for fear of injuring the Empress Dowager Dong, Liu Xie and other members of the royal family, but only used long and short weapons.

Jian Shuo did not jump over the wall in a hurry, slaughtering members of the royal family in a frenzy, and burning the Beigong Palace.

This battle lasted for two hours, and the sky was already completely dark, Cao Ju immediately found He Jin and persuaded: "General, it is already dark, and the night battle is not good for our army, why don't you take a break for a while, so as to wait for changes in the North Palace." ”

He Jin's appreciation of Cao Ju has surpassed Cao Cao, but it is not as good as Yuan Shao, so he nodded and said, "Okay, pass on the order of the general, Ming Jin will withdraw the troops." ”

However, the 5,000 Praetorian Guards who surrounded the North Palace camped in place to prevent Jian Shuo from escaping from the North Palace at night. Especially the North Gate of the North Palace, the Valley Gate, out of the Valley Gate, across the Xiaopingjin River, is the Mountain, so He Jin also stationed a thousand soldiers outside the Valley Gate to prevent Jian Shuo from escaping.

Jian Shuo's rebellion made Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu brothers and Cao Cao and Cao Ju brothers become the confidants of the general He Jin, He Jin trusted the four of them extremely much, and after stopping the attack, He Jin took the four of them to his house, served wine and food, and the five of them actually ate and drank.

Today, for He Jin, it is an extraordinary day, the He family is finally in power, the Empress Dowager He is in the court to listen to the government, any political affairs must be approved by her, and he is a general, controlling the world's soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shao and the four of them frequently congratulated He Jin and frequently persuaded him to drink, and after a while, He Jin was six or seven points drunk.

At this time, a junior colonel came to report, saying that an arrow was shot from the North Palace, and there was a letter on it, indicating that it was presented to the general He Jin himself.

He Jin took the letter, read it, and couldn't help laughing: "It's Guo Sheng and Zhao Zhong, they don't want to be in the same league with Jian Shuo, and agree to kill Jian Shuo and surrender, but they must not be blamed for their past." ”

Yuan Shao immediately hugged his fists and said: "General, the eunuch's illness has been for a long time, this Jian Shuo rebellion is the beginning, Guo Sheng and Zhao Zhong and the like, the harm is greater than Jian Shuo, the general can't forgive them, tomorrow a battle and punish all the children." ”

Bearded, that is, a man who can't grow a beard, is also another name for a eunuch.

Cao Cao immediately objected and said: "The Jian Shuo Rebellion, because he is a captain of the military academy and is in charge of the great military power, and Guo Sheng, Zhao Zhong and others are only in charge of Yulin, the imperial guard, the palace and the honor guard captain, but there are only more than 2,000 people, and there is no big turmoil. But now, if Guo Sheng, Zhao Zhong and others are not pardoned, they will inevitably be trapped in the beast, and even attack the Empress Dowager Dong, the King of Bohai, Princess Wannian and other members of the royal family. ”

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty only has two sons and a daughter, the two sons are Liu Bian and Liu Xie, and the daughter is Liu Mu, the princess of Wannian (the name is Liu in the historical records, because it is not good, I changed it to Liu Mu).

Yuan Shu sneered: "The reason why Jian Shuo rebelled was because the Empress Dowager Dong instructed him, how could he attack the Empress Dowager Dong and the others." Besides, Jian Shuo is a smart man, and he can die if he is defeated, but if it is chaotic, it will be his nine clans that will be harmed, and he will not ignore it. ”

Cao Ju smiled slightly and said: "The highway is wrong, this is not only Guo Sheng and Zhao Zhong, once they are pardoned, Zhang Rang and others will naturally be relieved, otherwise, if the general kills them, I am afraid that Zhang Rang and others will die of sorrow, and a dying blow, the general must not be guarded against." ”

Cao and Yuan are two opposite opinions, He Jinden was a little big, he was already a weak person, and he had six or seven points of alcohol, how could he decide.

Yuan Shao hugged his fists again and said: "General, if the eunuch is not removed for a day, the world will not be clean for a day, at this moment, there must be the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, otherwise, once the eunuch is in power again, it will inevitably cause disaster to the world again." ”

This time, Yuan Shao's meaning is already obvious, Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie have nothing to do with He Jin's brothers and sisters, if they are killed by Jian Shuo, it will be better, and Liu Xie will not have any chance to compete with Liu Wei for the throne in the future.

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The general can't, the Han rules the world with filial piety, the empress dowager is the biological mother of the first emperor and the grandmother of the new emperor, you must not lose, otherwise, how can the general explain to the people of the world?" ”

Originally, listening to Yuan Shao's poisonous plan, He Jin was already moved, but when Cao Cao persuaded him in time, he hesitated again, not knowing who to listen to.

Cao Ju saw it in his eyes, and secretly shook his head in his heart, he was so indecisive, he couldn't see the general trend clearly, and He Jin's level was also the material for being a butcher.

Seeing that Cao Ju hadn't spoken, Cao Cao hurriedly gave him a look and asked him to help persuade He Jin not to make impulsive moves.

Cao Ju understood what Cao Cao meant, nodded, hugged his fists, and said: "General, the last general has a way, tonight you can capture and kill Jian Shuo, and rescue the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Zixie and others." ”

He Jin immediately rejoiced and said: "Canghe has always been resourceful, and he has a clever plan, so he should talk about it quickly." ”
