"Wait!"

Zhao Zhong got up and was about to walk out of the palace, Xia Hui, Guo Sheng and others were also preparing items for escape in a panic, when suddenly such a sound sounded in their ears, and they suddenly stopped and looked at the source of the sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Rang stood up slowly, and said noncommittally: "Yuan Shao led his troops into the palace in a big way, risking such a big risk, is it just for me to wait for a few cheap lives?"

Guo Sheng turned his head with his male duck voice, and the tears on his face were about to flow: "Oh, my mother, when have you been thinking so much, then Yuan Shao is not going to kill all the people like us?" There must be less people than enough, and I was afraid that we would run away, so I led a large army into the palace. ”

"No, no, no," Zhang said with a solemn face, bowing his hand, "they don't have to. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Zhao Zhong also heard something at this time, stopped his movements, and stepped forward to listen to Zhang Rang's explanation.

Zhang Rang shook his head: "I'm not sure, let's discuss it together, anyway, what is certain is that Yuan Shao's move is definitely not just for us, even if we are still ingredients, his real goal is even greater."

Duan Jue had no intention of leaving when he heard this, so he stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "Master Zhang, may I ask why you can make such a conclusion."

"Because of the price!" Without waiting for Zhang Rang to speak, Zhao Zhong grabbed the conversation and explained to Duan Jue, "If Yuan Shao is only targeting us eunuchs, even if the nine of us can represent all, and only one jailer is enough to remove us, then why should Yuan Shao do more?" ”

"Well," Zhang Rang nodded, "And even if Yuan Shao really wants to get rid of all the eunuchs in order to avenge He Jin, it is impossible to lead troops into the palace in a big way, so tyrannical and destructive, unscrupulous, even if he kills me, then what will he do when the Holy Lord punishes him and storms the palace tomorrow?" ”

"Oh~" Guo Sheng and Duan Jue understood.

But the discussion of several people stopped after explaining, because now they only knew that there must be a problem, but no one came up with Yuan Shao's real purpose.

There was gradually a fire outside the palace, and the shouts of Yuan Shao and the combined army of many other ministers could be faintly heard.

Feng Zhen rushed to the window and looked into the distance, hurriedly ran back to the middle of the house, and shouted hysterically at the four people who were frowning angrily.

"Death is approaching, are you still in the mood to care about what to hide here! Now they're going to kill us! Isn't it obvious yet? Even if we are here to rebel and kill the emperor today, what does it have to do with us? Let's go now! I don't want to die here. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Kuang, Hou Lan and others immediately echoed them, but several people didn't dare to scold them as loudly as Feng Yu, and just whispered their grievances.

Zhao Zhong glared angrily, and immediately suppressed everyone's discussion, in fact, everyone didn't have much opinion, but the threat of death was approaching and a little impatient, at this time, after Zhao Zhong expressed his opinion, no one refuted it, and they all quieted down.

The Ten Standing Servants have been in turmoil for nearly 20 years, and for 20 years, they have all been led by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, but not only because they are the oldest, but also because these two people have made decisions on many matters on weekdays, needless to say, the depth of their prestige.

Everyone here is no longer making a fuss, but Zhang Rang over there was shocked when he heard Feng Yu's words.

The words "rebel and kill the emperor" in Feng Yu's sentence penetrated the doubts shrouded in Zhang Rang's heart like a ray of sunshine, and everything was understood, the reason for the chaos caused by the eunuchs should be killed, and the real purpose of the united army.

"I see!" Zhang asked Huo Di to stand up and shout.

"What is it?" Zhao Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Zhang Rang turned around and grabbed Zhao Zhong's shoulder, and said with a heavy face, "It's Your Majesty." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Zhong, who was stunned, to ask, Zhang Rang shook off Zhao Zhong and rushed to the outside of the palace, continuing to explain as he walked: "The United Army wants to kill Your Majesty, and even the bloodline of the entire Han family, they want to rebel!" ”

"Alas!" Guo Sheng originally planned to stop Zhang Rang, but before he could do so, Zhang Rang had already rushed out.

Guo Sheng turned his head and asked Zhao Zhong: "What is Zhang Changzhi going to do?" ”

"The Combine is going to rebel?" Zhao Zhong was digesting Zhang Rang's conclusions, and was stunned when he thought about it, muttering in his mouth, "Oh no, it's not necessarily all of them, maybe it's just a mixed branch of the army, Yuan Shao?" No, Yuan Shao did not have such a far-reaching strategy as rebellion. Is that Yang Ci? No, even if the Yang family kills the young emperor, they can't be the emperor, and the Yuan family's power is much stronger than them. Then it's still the Yuan family, that's right, it must be the Yuan family, not Yuan Shao, that's Yuan Kui! ”

"Yes, it must be Yuan Kui, only he has such a calculation."

The more Zhao Zhong thought about it, the more flustered he became, "Yuan Kui, this old fox, that's right." In this way, it seems that everything is calculated by him, the northern army has been infiltrated by him, and when the western army was established, he inserted Yuan Shao'an into it, Jian Shuo's death just fulfilled him, and so did He Jin's death

He facilitated, and now the army in Luoyang is in his hands, and he took this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge under the banner of He Jin, to remove the chaos in the palace, and to kill the emperor and the blood relatives of the Han family while the chaos is so deep. ”

"But that's not right, how can Yuan Kui guarantee that without the Liu family, he can let the Yuan family inherit the ceremony?"

Zhao Zhong couldn't stop thinking, his eyes couldn't stop scanning around, and he saw Guo Sheng, who was puzzled, Feng Yu, who was anxious, and Duan Qi, who listened to Zhang Rang's words and had a heavy face.

Duan Jue!

A thought flashed through Zhao Zhong's mind: "Why was Duan Jue's assassination of Empress Dowager He stopped by the Combined Army?" ”

"Oh! I know, leaving the Queen Mother is also an important part of Yuan Kui's plan, as long as the Han family is gone, only the Queen Mother has the right to set up a new monarch in the world, and the Queen Mother He has no support from He Jin, and the He family is not a wealthy family, in order to protect itself, it will definitely be controlled by Yuan Kui and set up the Yuan family. ”

"Hiss" Zhao Zhong thought of this and took a deep breath, "Yuan Kui is so calculating!" We and He Jin were both toyed with by him and applauded. ”

The night was solemn, but the palace under the night sky was a sea of corpses, blood and fire, one by one eunuchs were slaughtered for no reason, and the vast palace was full of corpses, spread all over the palace roads and courtyards, and at this time, the combined army was only half of the South Palace, that is to say, if you count the North Palace, there are three times as many places that have not experienced such a tragic massacre.

Zhang Rang took out the long sword in the hand of one of the guards and rushed out of the palace, cut off the reins of the horse, turned over and went straight to the young emperor's bedroom.

Yuan Shao in the combined army finally came to the palace where Emperor Ling gave the ten permanent servants, looked at the magnificent palace behind the palace gate, smiled coldly in his heart, and threw the torch in his hand towards the palace gate that was already full of firewood.

"Hmph, Shichang Waiter, your time of death has arrived!"

At this time, the Han Palace has been on fire everywhere, the raging flames are baking the palace that has undergone two hundred years of vicissitudes, since Emperor Guangwu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, this relying on Songshan and built the north and south of the two palace cities of the world's power center, has now become a huge briquette, has become the fuel of the fire.

Cao Cao sat on his horse in despair, and walked in the direction of the outside of the palace, this is not a crowded place, only a few times, one or two small eunuchs who escaped here by luck were caught up by the combined army and crucified to the ground.

The fire spread, and it happened to be the north wind blowing tonight, and the fire in the palace slowly moved southward, a house, a room, a hall, a palace, and finally came to Cao Cao's face, igniting both sides of the street where Cao Cao was walking.

Cao Cao raised his head and watched the fire spread along the eaves of the wall, lighting the palace gate that Cao Cao was about to pass through.

The weather was dry, and the cinnabar burned with the help of cinnabar, and the thick mahogany gate soon burned black charcoal in the middle, and the wood on the outside was still burning, becoming a fire gate.

Cao Cao rode a horse and approached the palace gate, stretched out his hand and gently touched the black charcoal on the door, and the decayed gate peeled off piece by piece.

"Ah——!h

Cao Cao jumped off his horse, took off the armor of his coat and slapped the flames on the door fiercely, the iron armor hit the door and there was a sonorous sound, more and more urgent, heavier and heavier, as rapid as the dense drumbeat and rain, Cao Cao flapped and shouted frantically, like madness.

The slapping fire lasted for a long time, without a trace of abating, Cao Cao stopped, took a few steps back weakly, reached the ground with his buttocks, and leaned his head on the horse's body, his face was already full of tears.
