The general He Jin listened to the advice of Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, and wanted to punish the eunuchs, so he asked the Empress Dowager He to do all the eunuch positions below the regular servants and replace them with Lang officials.

Empress Dowager He didn't listen. He Jin was born poor, distinguished by virtue of the identity of his relatives, and has always been afraid of eunuchs on weekdays, although he has a great reputation outside, but he does not dare to make a decision when it comes to major events, so this matter has been delayed again and again.

So Yuan Shao suggested that He Jin summon the Quartet to enter Beijing, which was used to coerce the Empress Dowager He to agree, and He Jin agreed, so he summoned the former general Dong Zhuo and Bingzhou Assassin Shi Dingyuan to lead troops into Beijing.

Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, Zheng Tai, Shangshu Lu Zhi and others all advised He Jin not to summon foreign soldiers into Beijing, thinking that He Jin was in an important position, holding heavy troops, and wanted to kill the eunuchs, as long as he made a decision immediately, there was no need to recruit foreign soldiers, and the princes would be in trouble when they entered Beijing, and He Jin did not listen.

In August of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), He entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager He and asked to kill the eunuchs again.

Zhongchang attendants Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others sent people to eavesdrop and knew He Jin's plan. So, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs preemptively sent the Empress Dowager He to enter the palace, He Jin did not listen to the advice of Cao Cao and others and entered the Luoyang Palace alone, and finally died tragically in the Luoyang Palace.

He Jin's general Wu Kuang and others heard that He Jin had been killed outside the palace gate, and under the excitement of the crowd, he and Hu Ben Zhonglang cut Yuan Shu and others into the palace gate, and set fire to the palace gate of Nangong. Yuan Shao also led troops into the palace and killed the eunuch Zhao Zhong and others. Zhang Rang, Duan Jue and others kidnapped the young emperor because they were afraid, and the empress dowager and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, fled in a hurry.

Yuan Shao and others closed the palace gate and killed the eunuchs, killing more than 2,000 people, which breathed a sigh of relief for the party members at that time. The eunuch group that had been rampant for nearly a hundred years since the Eastern Han Dynasty was reinstated.

Zhang Rang and Duan Jue kidnapped the young emperor and others and fled to Xiaopingjin, and Peng Mingong led the troops in pursuit in central Henan, and finally committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

When the young emperor fled, there were only dozens of people with him, and Lu Zhi and other loyal ministers traveled south overnight, and finally caught up with the young emperor's convoy and wanted to return to the Luoyang palace with the young emperor. The news came out all the way, and the ministers came to escort them.

At dawn, Dong Zhuo, who had just arrived in Luoyang, led the soldiers and horses to meet him when he heard the news, so the young emperor returned to the palace safely, and a great chaos in the palace ended.

Since then, Dong Zhuo's annexation of He Jin's soldiers and horses has risen sharply, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to have 400,000 troops, and his strength has jumped to become the first prince in the world.

In Guangling County, Xuzhou, Chen Deng sent off the envoys sent by the imperial court with a smile.

When the envoy left, Chen Deng's face was immediately covered with frost, he returned to the hall, smashed the flower screen jade in the hall, and shouted: "Yuan Benchu is selfish and misguided the country." ”

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, it was a time of chaos in the imperial court. The only general who can control Dong Zhuo, He Jin, is dead, and the ten permanent servants who control the forbidden army have also been killed, and there are two people who have a certain number of troops in the capital and can compete with Dong Zhuo. One of them was Yuan Shao, the head of the eight captains of the Xiyuan New Army at this time. But in the face of Dong Zhuo's rampage in the capital, Yuan Shao's selfishness remained silent at that time. When all the soldiers and horses in Xiyuan fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao felt regret.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you." Chen Xun saw Chen Deng, who was as strong as a madman, ran forward, and hugged him.

Looking at Chen Xun who was hugging him, Chen Deng's mood slowly calmed down.

Chen Deng looked at the messy ground, found a random place to sit down, and sighed softly

"Supplementally, do you know that Dong Zhuo summoned me to Beijing as an official half a month ago, but I politely refused."

Chen Xun frowned, looked around and said, "I know about this, but Dong Zhuoyuan can't reach out to Xuzhou in Luoyang." ”

"Dong Zhuo doesn't have this ability, but he can use the name of the Son of Heaven to make my Chen family clear for a hundred years." Chen Deng sighed.

"What does Big Brother want to do?" Chen Xun asked, he knew that the Chen family's psychology was more important to his eldest brother than anything else.

"Dong Zhuo's foundation in Luoyang is unstable, and he is afraid of the troops in the hands of the states and counties, Xuzhou is one of the richest states in the Central Plains, and my Chen family is the first wealthy family in Xuzhou, and Dong Zhuo has been jealous for a long time. This time, he once again sent an envoy to recruit me into Luoyang as an official, one is to cherish my talent, and the other is to want me to go to Luoyang to check and balance my Chen family. ”

"Big brother means that Dong Zhuo needs a hostage." Chen Xun had a delicate heart, he knew what Chen Deng wanted to say, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

"When to go." Chen Xun lowered his head and asked.

"Tomorrow morning, don't let your mother know about your speedy departure." Chen Deng knew that if this matter reached the ears of the old lady, there would be many branches.

"Don't worry about the big brother over there, I won't let her know." Chen Xun lowered his head and looked a little gloomy.

Chen Deng looked at Chen Xun's expression and couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart: "Supplement, remember the words of the eldest brother to save your life." ”

Chen Xun remained silent, but Chen Deng's words continued: "Supplementally, in Luoyang, it is now divided into four major forces, among which Dong Zhuo's strength is the strongest. The other three major forces are the royalist faction led by Lu Zhi, the family alliance led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the Bingzhou assassin Shi Ding Yuan, who is eyeing Luoyang with heavy troops. As long as you say less and do less in Luoyang, among these factions, there are people left and right, pro-Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and far Lu Zhi Ding Yuan. I will be able to save my life.

"Also, you will take the Danyang camp with you in Luoyang, they were originally your men, but the Danyang camp is too ugly, the eldest brother is going to change their names to be called the Tiger Benjun." Hearing Chen Deng's words, Chen Xun's eyes couldn't help but light up, not to mention that the Danyang Army was his old subordinate, and the combat power of the three hundred people was the best guarantee for his life.

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Xun set off with his three hundred tiger soldiers. It is always painful to leave home, but fortunately, Chen Deng gave a special pension to the soldiers of the Huben Army in advance, and sent special people to take care of their wives and children.

Chen Xun hurried with three hundred soldiers, and finally came to Luoyang City seven days later.

Chen Xun brought more than a dozen henchmen into Luoyang City and placed the rest of the people outside the city, after all, so many people were too ostentatious and easy to offend people.

Although it was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, the prosperity of Luoyang City was still dozens of times that of Guangling, and when Chen Xun came to Luoyang, he couldn't help but be shocked by this prosperous city.

"The person who came is the second son of the Chen family in Xuzhou, Chen Xun and Chen Fuzhi, the captain of the school." A cold Confucian with two mustaches and a few wrestlers dressed like generals blocked Chen Xun's way.

"The second son doesn't dare to be it, but it is Chen Xun and Chen Fuzhi who dare to ask who the gentleman is." Chen Xun bowed his hand respectfully to the Confucian student in front of him. When Chen Xun saw this person for the first time, he felt that there was a kind of bearing in this person, a kind of wisdom bead in his hand and a bearing in his chest. Therefore, Chen Xun did not dare to offend, and his words were respectful.

Confucian seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Xun's respect, and said quietly: "In Xia Li Ru, the character is excellent, and he is the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
