Empress Dowager He, Liu Mu and others had naturally received the news, and they were all so frightened that their faces changed color, and they almost didn't hesitate, and immediately retreated to the North Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xia Yun and Guo Sheng led a thousand forest troops to defend in the North Palace, and when they saw the Empress Dowager He and others retreating to the North Palace, they were naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the door and let them in.

After returning to the North Palace, Empress Dowager He just breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Yun came over with seven or eight Yulin troops, bowed first, and then said: "Queen Mother, three princesses, the Yuan brothers rebelled, Zhao Zhong has led the army to defend the South Palace, please make a decree, crown the Yuan brothers for rebellion, revoke Yuan Shaosi's position as a lieutenant and Yuan Shuhu Ben Zhonglang general, and order Cao Juma to raise troops to capture these two people, and correct the law on the spot." ”

Empress Dowager He is not a fool, Cao Ju is her only hope, if this edict is made, I am afraid that the Yuan brothers will fight back and kill Cao Ju first, after all, in terms of troops, Cao Ju, who is no longer the commander of the Beigong Guard, only has 1,500 soldiers and horses under his command, how can he be the opponent of the Yuan brothers.

Empress Dowager He immediately waved her hand and said: "It's not proper, since the Yuan brothers have raised troops, they will inevitably guard against the horses, if the mourning family rashly makes this decree, wouldn't it be harmful to the horses?" It's not proper, it's very inappropriate, and the mourning family can't make this decree. ”

Xia Yun rolled his eyes and said: "Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother does not give this decree, the sergeants under the command of the Yuan brothers do not know the truth, and they are instigated by it, once they break through the two palaces in the north and south, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not be spared, after all, the reason why He Jin entered the palace was the edict of the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager He's face changed, and she shouted angrily: "Xia Yun, you dare to blackmail the mourning family, believe it or not, let the mourning family kill you?" ”

Xia Yun was not afraid at all, and said: "The queen mother is confused, how dare the slave blackmail the queen mother, the slave just reminded the queen mother, otherwise, once the Yuan brothers led the army to break through the North Palace, it would be a matter of regret, you know, then Yuan Shao is not better than He Jin, and he may not dare to take advantage of the chaos to kill the queen mother and control the government." ”

"This ......" Empress Dowager He hesitated, to be honest, Xia Yun said that this possibility exists, she hesitated, and was about to speak, but Liu Mu, the princess of Wannian, said, "Queen Mother, what Father-in-law Xia said is also somewhat reasonable, and the son also suggested that the queen mother issue an order to revoke the military power of the Yuan brothers, but the horse soldiers are outnumbered and are not the opponents of the Yuan brothers, and the queen mother can make Cao Cao temporarily take charge of the military power of the Northern Army and capture the Yuan brothers, how about it?" ”

When Empress Dowager He heard this, she immediately rejoiced: "Okay, very good, use the northern army to deal with the southern army, as well as the Yulin army in the palace, and the mourning family will issue an edict to the Yuan brothers for the crime of rebellion, and the Yuan rebellion will undoubtedly fail." ”

Although Xia Yun was dissatisfied in his heart, he thought about it and it was indeed the truth, the only one who could compete with Yuan Shao's southern army was the northern army, so he nodded and said, "The queen mother is wise." ”

Immediately, Empress Dowager He wrote down a decree and stamped it with her queen mother's seal, and after Xia Yun took it, she sent two Yulin soldiers to Shangshutai with it, and hurriedly drafted a holy decree and sent it to Nangong Zhang Rang's hands.

After Zhang Rang got this holy decree, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly came to the gate of Nangong City, held the holy decree high, and shouted: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu stepped forward to listen to the decree." ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu glanced at each other, looking at Zhang Rang from a distance and seemed to be holding a holy decree in his hand, and secretly thought in their hearts, Empress Dowager He and the emperor were in the hands of Zhang Rang and others, wouldn't the content of the holy decree be drawn up according to their intentions?

Yuan Shu immediately shouted loudly: "Zhang Rang, you and others coerced the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and forced the Queen Mother and the Emperor to draft the will according to your will, the crime is extremely evil, and heaven and man are intolerable. ”

Zhang Rang knew that it was impossible for the Yuan brothers to obey orders, so he unfolded the holy decree and read it aloud: "Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili school, and Hu Ben Zhonglang, will Yuan Shu rebel and rebel, and the crime is unforgivable, and now the military power of the two will be removed, and Cao Cao, who is in the northern army, will temporarily control the northern army, capture Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's rebels, and ...... them."

Before the last word "this" was spoken, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and a sharp arrow broke through the air, and the target was Zhang Rang, who was reading the holy decree.

Zhang Rang was reading the holy decree, while paying attention to the movements of the Yuan brothers, and when he saw Yuan Shu shooting arrows with a bow, he knew that something was wrong, and dodged in time, so he avoided Yuan Shu's arrow.

Zhang Rang was furious and shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother has another message, this time only the Yuan brothers will be captured, and the rest will be instigated by him, if they can stop the precipice in time, they can be exempted." ”

After shouting, Zhang Rang shook his hand, threw the holy decree out, and hurried to the dungeon, after all, this place is too dangerous, and one careless person may lose his life.

The Holy Decree, in the minds of all people, absolutely has an invincible status, and it suddenly caused the morale of the besieging army to drop a lot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Shao hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were held hostage by the Ten Standing Attendants, and they drafted this holy decree under duress. We are deeply favored by the emperor, and now is the time to serve the imperial court, when we take the north and south palaces in one go, rescue the queen mother and the emperor from those eunuchs, and make great contributions to the world. ”

"If the brothers have scruples, I, Yuan Benchu, swear here in the name of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, if the queen mother and the emperor are to blame, my brothers will bear it with all their might, and they will definitely not implicate any of the brothers."

Facts have proved that Yuan Shao's words are still very useful, and the morale of the army that has just fallen has been raised again, even higher than the morale just now.

Seeing that the offensive of the army was more intense, Yuan Shao also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yuan Shu in a low voice: "Highway, you must guard against Cao Mengde, once the content of the holy decree reaches Cao Cao's ears, if he really comes from the northern army, and then there are Cao Ju's cavalry, and the defenders in the palace should respond, we will definitely be defeated." ”

Yuan Shu sneered and said: "What is the difficulty of this, Ben Chu Ru immediately sent someone to inform Jin Wu Chenghu, kill Cao Cao, and lead the people of the Northern Army to come here to help, then Zhang Rang and the others will die without a place to be buried." ”

Although Yuan Shao is a brother and Yuan Shu is a younger brother, Yuan Shao is a concubine, Yuan Shu is a descendant, Yuan Shu has never really recognized Yuan Shao as his brother, and he has always been called his cousin.

Let Chenghu kill Cao Cao, Yuan Shao listened to Yuan Shu's poisonous plan, couldn't help but be stunned, gasped, did not agree, but fell into contemplation, and hesitated in his heart, after all, he and Cao Cao are small, and the relationship is still very good. (To be continued.) )
