The palace rebellion after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty officially kicked off, and the 11,000 forbidden troops in the West Garden that Jian Shuo could control, because Xia Mu and Feng Fang were watched by He Miao and others, and they could not rush to the aid of Jian Shuo, so what was really defending in Nangong was only 5,000 of the 7,000 people in Jian Shuo's headquarters, as well as 5,000 of the Lin army.

Yuan Shao's Chinese army of 5,000 people, Cao Cao's army of 3,000 people, Cao Ju's Tun cavalry army of 2,000 people, and 5,000 Praetorian Guards.

There are 10,000 defenders and 15,000 attackers, but Jian Shuo's hands also control the queen mother, the queen, the two princes, and the north and south palaces. He Jin, the only advantage is the edict, announcing the orthodox status of the eldest prince Liu Bian, and at the same time, he also has a trump card in his hand, that is, the foreign army, which can listen to his orders at any time and enter Beijing to hoe rape.

Cao Ju led 2,000 cavalry from the headquarters and 3,000 Praetorian Guards from the Beijing Division, and he was assigned the task of attacking Yuanmen in the south of the city.

Cao Ju was draped all over his body, with a sword and a gun, riding a yellow horse, came to the gate of the garden, staring at the Jian Shuo Department on the city gate, and the banner of the army with the words "Tun Cavalry Captain Cao" embroidered on the top of his head was particularly dazzling under the noon sun. The scarlet cloak on Cao Ju's body was swollen by the wind, showing the majesty of a young and strong general with full ambition, and behind him were two thousand cavalry cavalry and three thousand Beijing Janissary Guards.

Above the Yuan Gate, there were 3,500 defenders, which was only 1,500 people worse than Cao Ju's command, but Cao Ju absolutely believed that these 3,500 defenders would definitely be vulnerable.

Cao Ju waved his hand, Dian Wei immediately stepped forward, and a thunderous voice immediately sounded: "The defenders of the city listened, the general He Jin was sent to the edict of the first emperor, and the great prince Liu Bian immediately established the throne, and ordered Jian Shuo and all the Yulin army and Shangjun soldiers to open the palace gate and surrender. ”

The order that these defenders got was that the general He Jin rebelled, and the emperor ordered Jian Shuo to lead the army to defend the palace, but when he heard Dian Wei's thunderous voice, they all panicked, and they couldn't figure out which side was telling the truth.

Cao Ju saw that the effect had been achieved, so he was not in a hurry to attack for the time being, waiting for the city to rise up, and it was best for someone to open the palace gate, and then he could enter the South Palace without blood.

However, the commander of the Yulin Army, who led the army to guard here, was Jian Shuo's henchman, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately took a bow and shot arrows, and shouted: "The rebellious ministers and thieves are so presumptuous and presumptuous, and they mess with the hearts of our army." ”

Cao Ju waved his gun and fired this arrow, and said lightly: "Brother Dian, you lead a thousand Beijing Division Praetorian Guards to attack immediately, and you must take down the Yuanmen within half an hour, otherwise, the military law will deal with it." ”

Dian Wei knew that this was a meritorious opportunity given to him by Cao Ju, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly received his order, and with a wave of his double iron halberd, he led a thousand Beijing Guards to attack the city.

The Beijing Praetorian Guard, the cavalry soldiers, no matter how many losses, Cao Ju is not distressed, this is not his army, he only cares about the 1,000 soldiers brought out by Caojiabao, but because it is cavalry, Cao Ju expected that Cao Cao would not let them attack the city.

Without a moat, the pace of the attack was much faster, under the personal leadership of Cao Peng, the first batch of 300 soldiers of the Beijing Guard held shields to block arrows, and carried a ladder to quickly contact the palace wall, and a group of sturdy soldiers pushed the huge door slamming wood to the palace gate again and again.

These soldiers of the Yulin Army and the Shangjun Army had never been trained to defend the city, and the guard commander had no experience in defense, let alone not many defensive equipment at all. The palace gate was quickly smashed open, and the cloud ladder was also put up on the palace wall, and the defenders of the garden gate could no longer block the attack under Cao Ju's command.

After the Yuan Gate, there was the Vermilion Bird Gate, and Cao Ju's army also took down the Vermilion Bird Gate without much effort, and the army drove straight into the South Palace. Jian Shuo's army, which was either killed or surrendered on its knees, joined Cao Ju's army.

At this time, the other two gates were still in a fierce battle, Cao Ju sent two Sima of the Beijing Praetorian Guard to lead the Beijing Praetorian Guard and the surrendered Jian Shuo soldiers to rush to the west of the city Yongmen in the east of the city to look at the Beijing Gate, to help Yuan Shao and Cao Cao attack inside and outside, and he led two thousand cavalry from the headquarters to rush into the Jiade Gate and rush to the Jiade Palace.

However, in the side hall of the Jiade Palace, Cao Ju only saw the Zigong of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and there were only a few loyal old palace people and palace maids next to the Zigong Palace, while the two princes, the queen and the queen mother who were mourning did not know where they went. Cao Ju came to the Zi Palace, and the Zi Palace had not yet been sealed in the coffin, so it was the first and last time that Cao Ju saw the real person of Emperor Han Ling so closely.

Cao Ju thought secretly in his heart, Master, Liu Hong is dead, the Han Dynasty is about to enter the troubled times, and the opportunity for disciples has arrived, and you can rest in peace under Jiuquan.

In the Zi Palace, in addition to the corpse of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there are also the emperor's jade seal, the yellow red ribbon and the Chun Huang Qi that only the emperor can wear.

Cao Ju wanted to take these three things away, but after thinking about it, he didn't make a move, and asked the trembling palace maid on the side about the whereabouts of the two princes, the queen and the queen mother, and then led the army to leave.

Dian Wei was also strange and asked, "Ah Ju, why don't you take the emperor's jade seal away, this is a great achievement." ”

Cao Ju smiled and said: "Brother Dian, people must be self-aware, I jumped from the position of military marquis, jumped to a captain, and was promoted two levels in a row, which has made many people envious and jealous, if I take away those three things at this moment, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not be used by some well-intentioned people as evidence to attack me." What's more, Yuan Benchu will be here soon, so it is better to hand over these three things to him, and it can be regarded as repaying his kindness for introducing me to the General's Mansion. ”

Dian Wei didn't understand it too much, but he already admired Cao Ju a lot, so naturally he wouldn't think that what Cao Ju said was wrong.

Subsequently, Cao Ju began to follow the route said by the palace maid, looking all the way, and finally found Liu Ban and Empress He in the Yutang Palace.

The Jade Hall Hall is a side hall, and it is said that there is any evil spirit here, even during the day, it is also ghostly, but everyone who enters the Jade Hall Hall almost without exception dies, so almost no one wants to come here later. Later, four bronze figures and four yellow bells were cast here, but they couldn't suppress the evil spirit here.

Cao Ju didn't know that the Yutang Hall was so evil, and he made sure that Liu Bian and Empress He were inside, so he asked Dian Wei and others to wait outside, and he walked into the Yutang Hall one by one, and saw that Empress He was dressed in a vegetarian body, holding Liu Bian, who was already asleep, and was sitting on a chair with a thick layer of dust without a master.
