In order to confront the eunuchs, Yuan Shao first deeply reflected on the incident of Dou Wu back then, and he came to three key conclusions.

First, to deal with eunuchs, it is necessary to prevent them from controlling military power. Back then, Dou Wu was defeated because the eunuchs controlled the army, but as a general, he was surrounded and suppressed by the eunuchs. However, with the efforts of Yuan Shao and others, Jian Shuo and Dong Chong, who controlled the army among the eunuch forces, were eliminated, and the military forces of Luoyang and the whole country had been completely controlled by He Jin, and the eunuchs had lost the strength to resist He Jin outside the palace.

Second, there are many dreams at night, and it is necessary to be decisive and quick to deal with the eunuch group. Dou Wu was overturned by the eunuchs because of his hesitation and the leakage of the matter, so Yuan Shao immediately persuaded He Jin to take action against the eunuchs after He Jin's forces completely gained the upper hand.

Third, the eunuchs have deep influence in the palace, and they can even control the emperor and the queen mother for a short time, so it can be said that the palace is completely the territory of the ten permanent servants. Yuan Shao reminded He Jin that safety is the top priority, and it is best not to enter the palace.

Because the eunuchs are naturally close to the emperor, even if there is a trough, they can quickly recover with the help of the emperor's trust in the future, so Yuan Shao's attitude towards the eunuchs is very clear - "cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no troubles".

As early as the beginning of Liu Wei's accession to the throne, Yuan Shao thought that the time had come, so he advised He Jin through He Jin's guest Zhang Jin: "The eunuchs of the Yellow Gate and Chang Shi have been in power for a long time, specializing in bad things, and the general should choose another virtuous one, rectify the country, and eliminate harm for the world." He Jin also deeply agreed with this, and gradually planned with Yuan Shao and others how to get rid of the eunuchs.

Yuan Shao said to He Jin: "The Yellow Gate and the permanent servants have been operating for generations, with strong strength and dominance at home, in the past, Dou Wu was ready to kill the pets, but he suffered from them, the reason is that the incident is not secret, the words are leaked, and the soldiers of the five battalions are reused." The soldiers of the five battalions basically grew up in Luoyang, and they were afraid of obeying the eunuchs, but Dou Wu trusted them, and the result was, of course, the soldiers rebelled and killed themselves.

Now the general is the emperor's uncle, and the two brothers are leading powerful troops, and the sergeants and generals under his command are all handsome and famous men, and they are willing to do their best to serve the general. Everything is in the hands of the general, this is a good opportunity given by the heavens, and the general should get rid of the scourge for the world in one fell swoop, and his name will be remembered for future generations! In this way, even if it is Shen Bo of the Zhou Dynasty, he can't compare with the general!

Now the monarch's coffin is in the front hall, and the general is ordered to command the forbidden army, and he should not easily enter and leave the palace province. ”

He Jinshen thought so, so he didn't go to the funeral with his illness, or even the funeral. After he made a plan with Yuan Shao, he told the queen mother about the plan, but the queen mother did not listen, but protected the eunuchs, He Jin did not dare to disobey the will of the queen mother, and he hesitated at this critical moment, and wavered, wanting to kill only a few famous eunuchs to settle the matter.

Yuan Shao saw that He Jin was shaken, and once again admonished him: "The eunuch is close to the Supreme and conveys the edict, if you don't catch it all, you will definitely suffer endlessly." Besides, now that the plan has been revealed, why didn't the general make a decision earlier? Things change over time, and if you start late, you will suffer. ”

After the eunuchs knew that He Jin was going to do something to them, they immediately sought the protection of other He clansmen, especially the Empress Dowager He, when the Yellow Gate and the Zhongchang attendants took out their family wealth and bribed He Jin's mother Wuyangjun and younger brother He Miao many times, both of them pleaded for the eunuchs in front of the Empress Dowager He, and even framed He Jin's dictatorship together with the eunuchs to weaken the imperial power.

Under the protection of Empress Dowager He, He Jin couldn't do it easily, and he seemed a little helpless. In this case, Yuan Shao was very anxious, afraid of missing this unmissable opportunity, so he gave He Jin a way that was not a way out, and asked He Jin to admonish him.

Yuan Shao said: "You can mobilize the fierce generals of the Quartet to lead the troops to the capital and admonish the Queen Mother." ”

Yuan Shao's suggestion this time talked about the key point of He Jin, why didn't He Jin do this directly to the eunuchs, isn't there no royal righteousness, and he doesn't get the support of the royal family? So He Jin didn't want to do it directly, but if he exerted pressure on the Empress Dowager He according to Yuan Shao's suggestion, and finally removed the eunuchs in the name of the Empress Dowager He, the pressure on He Jin would be much less, so He Jin immediately agreed to Yuan Shao's suggestion and summoned Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and others to Beijing.

Historically, didn't Yuan Shao and He Jin know the risks of doing so? Of course I know, but Yuan Shao didn't dare to wait any longer, and He Jin didn't have a better way, so even if he made a decision, he could only go on.

And this time the military advice was undoubtedly successful, but the good situation was finally ruined by the incompetent He Jin.

He Jinxi summoned the former general Dong Zhuo to be stationed in Shanglin Yuan, Guanzhong, and made the Fu Peng Taishan Wang Kuang to mobilize the strong crossbowmen of his county, and summoned the East County Taishou Qiaomao to garrison Chenggao, and also sent Wu Mengdu Lieutenant Ding Yuan to burn Mengjin, the fire illuminated the city red, and everyone said that they would kill the eunuchs, but they didn't expect that the Empress Dowager He still disagreed, and put on an attitude of protecting the eunuchs to the end.

At the same time, He Miao also persuaded He Jin to let go of the eunuch, and He Jin began to hesitate again.

Seeing He Jinhu's suspicious attitude, Yuan Shao directly threatened him and said: "The situation of combining with each other has been revealed, if things are not done, something will happen, what is the general waiting for, why not decide early?" ”

At this time, He Jin also knew that he had no way out, so he appointed Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of Si Li, holding the talisman and breaking it with special orders; Engaged in Zhonglang Wang Yun for Henan Yin. Yuan Shao sent Luoyang Fangluo military officials to monitor the eunuchs, so that Dong Zhuo and others galloped up, preparing to march into the army and be optimistic.

What is the official position of the lieutenant? In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this position is equivalent to the central assassin history, the power is still above the assassin history, and he is the biggest spy leader, which can be said to be the commander of the Jinyi Wei in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the largest supervisor in the Han Dynasty, and later Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Cao Cao had to hold this key official position as soon as they controlled the imperial court.

In order to protect the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager He had no choice but to give up the eunuchs, although there was no order for He Jin to remove the eunuchs, but she still put the eunuchs such as Zhongchang and Xiaohuangmen home, leaving only a small part of the guards who were good friends with He Jin to guard the palace.

At this point, it can be said that He Jin and the others have won the victory, and now it is enough for He Jin to order the eunuchs to be removed, but He Jin made a fool and was careless at this critical juncture.

At that time, all the permanent servants Xiao Huangmen went to He Jin to ask for guilt, and listened to how He Jin dealt with it, Yuan Shao also persuaded He Jin to execute them at this time, again and again, He Jin just didn't allow it, but appeased the eunuchs, and even finally acquiesced in the eunuchs to return to the palace.

As a result, He Jin himself entered the palace to advise the Empress Dowager He, asking the Empress Dowager He to agree to kill all the permanent servants and below, and select the three Lang Lang to enter the palace to guard the housing of the eunuch palace. After Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs learned the news, they had no way to retreat, so they took risks and finally killed He Jin in the palace.

In history, Yuan Shao said everything that should have been said, and everything that should be done was done, so that He Jin was quick and decisive, He Jin thought about it and created an opportunity for He Jin, He Jin sat idly by, let He Jin pay attention to safety, don't enter the palace easily, He Jin finally forgot.

Yuan Shao tried his best, but He Jin couldn't help him.
