Yuan Shu saw Yuan Shao hesitate, sneered and said: "The arrow has been fired, there is no turning back, now it has reached the critical point of life and death, but you are hesitant, the disaster of the Yuan family is coming, have you forgotten who Cao Cao's ancestor is?" ”

Yuan Shao's heart was shocked, and he secretly thought, yes, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng is a eunuch, how dare I wonder if Cao Cao will come from the northern army after receiving the news of the holy decree. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Immediately, Yuan Shao did not hesitate any longer, and immediately instructed a young general beside him: "Yuancai, you take my two personal guards and go to the northern military camp, meet Chenghu, pass my order, let him kill Cao Cao, and lead the army here to help." ”

Yuancai is the cousin of Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, and this young general is Gao Gan, the son of Yuan Shao's brother-in-law Gao Gong.

Gao Gan's grandfather, Gao Ci, was the captain of Sili, and his father Gao Bow, who was the Taishou of Shu County. But Gao Gan's life was short, and when Gao Gan was ten years old and died of illness, Yuan Shao took his sister and Gao Gan over, and regarded Gao Gan as his own, and there was no difference between him and Yuan Tan brothers in terms of living treatment.

Historically, when Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zan and ruled the four states, he divided the four states to three sons and a nephew to govern, which shows Yuan Shao's love for Gao Gan.

Gao Gan immediately responded, took Yuan Shao's two personal guards, and headed for the military camp of the Northern Army.

Cao Cao got the news that He Jin was killed, which was later than the Yuan brothers and Cao Ju, because he was expelled from the scope of He Jin's lineage, and he didn't pay as much attention to He Jin's situation as Cao Ju, so when Cao Cao knew the news, the Yuan brothers had already begun to attack Nangong.

He Jin was killed, and with Cao Cao's political sensitivity, he immediately felt that this was a great opportunity, so he immediately asked people to invite all the captains of the five battalions of the Northern Army, who were in charge of Jin Wuchenghu, to discuss important matters.

As explained above, the Northern Army is one of the central janissaries of the Han Dynasty, and it is as famous as the Southern Army, and its supreme leader is Zhijinwu, one of the Jiuqing, while the Northern Army Zhonghou is only a supervisor, responsible for supervising the five battalions of the Northern Army, and does not have the right to lead the army.

Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to send troops but had no troops to do, so he could only invite the captains of the five battalions of the Northern Army, especially the Zhijin Wuchenghu, as long as he agreed, the Northern Army could send troops.

Ding Yuan, the pastor of Bingzhou, has been decreed to be named Zhijinwu and lead the history of the state assassination, but because Ding Yuan brought the Bingzhou army back to Bingzhou and settled down before he could enter Beijing to take up his post, so the current Zhijinwu is still Chenghu, the proud protégé of Taifu Yuan Kui, and belongs to the protégé of Yuan's family, so the princess Liu Mucai suggested that the Empress Dowager He issued an order to let Cao Cao temporarily take charge of the military power of the Northern Army in the Northern Army, which is equivalent to making Cheng Hu overhead, so as to avoid Cheng Hu and the Northern Army from taking refuge under Yuan Shao, then the palace is really dangerous.

Cheng Hu and the five lieutenants soon arrived, the five lieutenants were nothing, but Cheng Hu had already received the news that He Jin had been killed and that the Yuan brothers were preparing to lead an army to attack the palace.

Cheng Hu didn't know what the situation was, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and stayed in the northern military camp, waiting for the order of the Yuan Shao brothers.

On the one hand, Cao Cao sent people to closely monitor the situation in the palace, and on the other hand, he sent people to invite Cheng Hu and others to come over to discuss the matter, but he did not expect that the Yuan brothers had already killed him.

After Cheng Hu and others came, Cao Cao killed He Jin, and the news that the Yuan brothers were attacking Nangong told the six people, Cheng Hu already knew the news, but the five captains were surprised.

Cao Cao immediately said: "Lord Cheng, at the moment when the capital is in turmoil, eunuch to kill the general, hijack the queen mother and the emperor, is a good opportunity for us to repay the emperor's kindness, Lord Cheng should personally lead the five battalions of the northern army, gallop to the aid of the Yuan brothers, kill eunuch, save the queen mother and the emperor in distress, and make a world-class meritorious service." ”

Cheng Hu thought so, nodded and said: "Meng De's words are very true, we can wait to raise troops and gallop to the aid of Ben Chu and the two of them." ”

The lieutenant of the Northern Army is in charge of supervising the five battalions of the Northern Army, and without the consent of the lieutenant of the Northern Army, even if he is in charge of Jin Wu Chenghu, he has no right to mobilize every soldier of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. Therefore, Cheng Hu and Cao Cao reached an agreement, and the matter of sending troops was naturally decided, and the five lieutenants immediately returned to their camps to reorganize their troops and horses.

As for Cheng Hu and Cao Cao, there are also pro-guards, and the two of them also went back to prepare.

At this moment, Cao Cao's scout came back and relayed the content of the holy decree read by Zhang Rang and the words shouted by Yuan Shao to Cao Cao word for word, and Cao Cao's brows immediately furrowed.

Carefully reciting the content of the holy decree, three times in a row, Cao Cao seemed to have guessed something, but he was not quite exact.

Xiahoudun and the three of them stood left and right, and Cao Cao knelt in front of the desk, thinking to himself, He Jin was killed, it is impossible for Canghe not to know the news, why not send troops there? The period gate and the Yulin army of the ten permanent servants together are less than 5,000 people, and Yuan Shao's southern army has 20,000 horses, and it is definitely not a problem to capture Nangong, why hasn't it been taken yet?

At this moment, another scout rushed over to report the news and said: "General Qiyu, Captain Yuan Shao sent his generals Chun Yuqiong, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou to lead an army of 5,000 to the military camp of Cao Ju, blocking Cao Ju from leading the army to the palace. ”

Cao Cao suddenly realized, and secretly thought, yes, Yuan Shao divided his troops into 5,000 troops, and there were still 15,000 troops under his command, after the last Jian Shuo Rebellion, the siege equipment was almost exhausted, and it had not been completely replenished, no wonder Yuan Benchu was unable to capture Nangong in a hurry.

The content of the holy decree really made Cao Cao's heart move, he took charge of the Northern Army to participate in the war, defeated Yuan Shao first, and then executed him, and made great achievements, and his future status will naturally not be under Cao Ju.

However, He Jin was killed, the situation in the palace was unknown, and the Yuan brothers raised troops to avenge it, and there was no fault, as for the holy decree read by Zhang Rang, it was indeed not guaranteed that it was the intention of the Empress Dowager He and the emperor, so Cao Cao led the army to attack Yuan Shao, perhaps it was Zhang Rang and others' plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao still decided that it would be a safe plan to send troops to help the Yuan brothers.

At this moment, a personal guard hurried over, broke into the big tent, and shouted urgently: "General, the big thing is not good, Lord Jin Wucheng led the five battalions of the Northern Army to surround here, and said that he was ordered to kill... Kill ......"

Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Speaking quickly, who will be killed?" ”

The guard gasped twice and replied, "Lord Cheng said... said that after the general was emasculated, he was in a group with the ten permanent servants, and it was the foreign aid of the ten permanent servants, and Lord Cheng had just received a secret decree from the queen mother and the emperor, saying that he was going to kill the general. ”

"Is that so?" Cao Cao immediately stood up and shouted angrily, "Yuan Benchu, you deceived people too much. (To be continued.) )
