Although in terms of Yulu, the rank of the military marquis is no more than 600 stones, which is more than one level lower than the thousand stone level of Zhang He and Gao Lan. But as a member of the Central Army, and accepted by a super family like the Yuan family in Runan, the future prospects of Yan Liang and Wen Chou are more than one cut higher than those of Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran, who hold military positions in the local area!

On the other hand, Yuan Shao also attaches great importance to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and regards them as his hole cards. In front of the domineering spirit of "Yuan Benchu, the model of the world", Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who are "ten thousand enemies", couldn't help but bow their heads obediently, and worshiped Yuan Shao as the lord for the first time.

The two of them told Yuan Shao, what they said was really what they said. Even because Yuan Shao instructed the two of them to be patient in the Xiyuan Army, Yan Liang and Wen Chou actually endured the temptation of defeating Jian Shuo and becoming famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and coldly watched those "fierce generals" whose martial arts skills were far inferior to them, fighting in front of them.

But, it's all worth it!

Being able to show his skills in front of Taifu Yuan, who is one of the most powerful people today, so as to be appreciated by this court bigwig, will you still worry about not being promoted in the future?

Although Yuan Kui was praising Yan Liang and Wen Chou, making the two generals sincerely frightened and grateful, in fact, his thoughts had already drifted outside the palace.

——Was the initial killing of Fan Ling and Xu Xiang smooth?

- The highway led the general's troops, where has it been killed now?

- How will the general react when he hears the news of the chaos in the palace?

These questions were constantly circling in Taifu Yuan Kui's mind. Don't look at him in front of Lu Zhi as if he was grasping everything, in fact, things like palace coups are often careless and lose everything. Thinking of this, he said to Yan Liang kindly:

"Yan Junhou. Do you know my nephew Yuan Highway? ”

Yan Liang was flattered and replied:

"A certain lieutenant of the company, I have seen the tiger Ben Zhonglang a few times."

"Well, there is a dangerous errand now, I wonder if Yan Junhou dares to take it?"

"Taifu speaks like this, and he is tormented by the lower officials! Taifu had an order to go to the soup and fire. Don't hesitate! ”

Hearing Yan Liang say this, Yuan Kui smiled with satisfaction.

"I have a pair of sticky notes to give to the highway. It's just that the highway is now following the general's troops, deep into the palace, and it is difficult to find. So ......"

"Taifu rest assured, even if Yan looks all over the palace, he should hand over Taifu's documents to General Huben!"

"Good!"

Yuan Kui happily slapped his palm, pointed to a personal entourage and said to Yan Liang:

"He is familiar with the path in the palace. Later, you will join him in the palace and go to the palace to find the boy on the road. Remember. Don't fall in love with war, send the note, it's a great achievement! ”

"No!"

After the order was completed, Yuan Kui casually wrote a note in Shangshutai, folded it, and handed it to Yan Liang. Yan Liang acted simply, gave a military salute, and left Shangshutai with a few entourage.

Along. Yan Liang and his entourage kept seeing corpses and bloodstains in the palace. The most sacred abode of the Son of Heaven in the entire Han Dynasty. Now it has become a place where the officials and eunuchs fight to the death with each other and commit murder in chaos!

Finding Yuan Shu's actions was much easier than Yan Liang had imagined. The few enemies encountered on the road were not at all the opponents of the "10,000 enemies" powerhouse. Yan Liang's biggest problem on the way, that is, the question of where Yuan Shu was, was after meeting a group of officers and soldiers. And then it came easy.

After killing Wu Kuang and others in the palace for a while, Yuan Shu, the general of Huben, finally found his own subordinate Huben army. With hundreds of elite soldiers in hand, Yuan Shu no longer acted with Wu Kuang, but divided his troops to search house by house. When he saw the eunuch, he was killed on the spot.

Yan Liang didn't look for long in the palace when he met the tiger army under Yuan Shu's subordinates. These tiger soldiers were quite familiar with Yuan Kui's personal entourage, and as soon as they saw them, they recognized that person, and then respectfully invited the group to Yuan Shu.

Although he was on the front line of the fight, Yuan Shu's expression was quite relaxed. When their subordinates were murderously killing eunuchs all over the streets, their superiors were in the palace, evaluating the palace furnishings one by one with great interest. When Yan Liang saw Yuan Shu, who was famous in the Beijing Division, he was holding a bronze wine jue in his hand and playing with it, and there were a bunch of large and small objects around him.

"Young master, this is the master's letterhead."

Yuan Kui's relatives asked Yan Liang for a note, and Baba sent it to Yuan Shu. When Yuan Shu heard this, he dropped the bronze jue in his hand, took the note and looked at it, there were only six small words on it:

- Tempting Wu Kuang to ride a car!

Yuan Shu read it at a glance, thought about it, and said with a smile:

"Interesting, interesting!"

He tore up the note and threw it into a ditch. Then, Yuan Shu smiled at the kiss:

"I already know what my uncle means. When you go back and report to your uncle, you will say that you will ask your uncle to wait for good news. ”

followed Nuo Nuo Lian, pulled Yan Liang and left. Yan Liang also thought that when he found Yuan Shu this time, he could say a few words to the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, who was the "No. 1 Yang Qi Hero", and he would be familiar with each other. Who knew that the eldest young master didn't even look at him and sent him away.

was treated so coldly, Yan Liang's heart naturally had this more comment:

——Tiger Ben is not as good as Si Li!

By the time Yan Liang walked through many palaces again and returned to Shangshutai, Yuan Kui had already left, leaving only the two officials on duty. Yan Liang asked about the current development of the situation, and soon learned that as Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, found some of his henchmen Xiyuan Army to join the battle, some of the palace guards who were originally pulled into the eunuch camp in the name of the Son of Heaven finally couldn't resist and collapsed.

Faced with the situation of being outnumbered by the enemy, the eunuchs knew that the situation was irreparable, so they decisively abandoned the palace and gathered the last group of loyal soldiers, killed out of the palace gate, and fled outside the city of Luoyang.

In this way, the battle, which was originally confined to Miyagi, suddenly expanded to the entire city of Yuyang at this moment. The general's troops, the Tiger Ben Army, the Zhongdu officials and apprentices, plus some of the Xiyuan Army, numbering more than 6,000 elite soldiers, were huge, and they carried out a comprehensive capture and pursuit of the eunuchs in the entire Luoyang City.

Kill the red-eyed soldiers, but when they see the pedestrians on the road with white faces and beards, they rush up and hack them to death. There are also the families of the eunuchs in the capital, who were also affected by the fish pond. A group of important court ministers who tend to be eunuchs are also inescapable. Fan Ling is on the main road. was hacked to death by Yuan Shao's cronies; Xu Xiang, who was entertaining guests, was also shot by the Yuan family soldiers who rushed in. The rest of the innocent courtiers who were involved had their own ways of dying, and so on......

As a result of this chaotic and bloody situation, the entire city of Luoyang seemed to have turned into a huge beehive, filled with all kinds of disturbing sounds. All the older residents of Luoyang. As we all know, another coup d'état similar to the "Xinhai Rebellion" more than 20 years ago has taken place......

Crying, screaming, fire...... These obstacles failed to prevent Zhang Rang and others from escaping around the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu.

Due to Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang attacking from the West Palace, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao attacking from the East Palace, in desperation, Zhang Rang had to return to the road. That is, on the overhead passage between the pavilions, escape to the North Palace. Then, the group went out of the city from the North Palace and went straight to the Beibi Hill in the north of Luoyang City. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were not caught, and they couldn't completely block the escape routes of the eunuchs, so they had to use the eunuchs who stayed in the palace to vent their anger.

However, Zhang Rang and his entourage live in the inner palace all the year round, and they can be said to be pampered. They took turns carrying the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu. Fleeing in one breath to the vicinity of the Xiaomengjin ferry at the foot of Beibi Mountain, he really couldn't escape. I had to stop and rest for a while.

Zhang Rang gasped for a while and began to count the number of people. Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Shangshutai

Assault, killed on the spot. Sun Zhang, Han Kui, and Zhang Gong were killed one after another in the process of breaking through. To this day, it is still gathered around the young Son of Heaven. There are only a few people such as Zhang Rang, Duan Qi, and Bi Lan. ①

Seeing such a miserable and miserable appearance around him, and looking at the ignition of fire in the city of Luoyang in the distance, Zhang Rang couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

"It's over! Dahan is really over now! ”

Deeply touched, Zhang Rang held the hand of the young son of heaven Liu Wei. Crying. The young son of heaven was not very sensible, so he asked:

"Zhang Changshi, the queen mother often said that if I am there, the big man is there. Why do you say that the big man is going to be finished? ”

Zhang Rang wiped a handful of tears, choked up and replied:

"Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Great Han, he is only one person. If you don't have enough wings and minions, how can you deal with the greedy courtiers and treacherous scholars? For the Son of Heaven, the most trustworthy are our regular servants, followed by the relatives of his wife and mother's family. But now......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Rang glanced at the empty surroundings again, and even with his decades of eunuch career, he couldn't help but cry bitterly again. Bi Lan on the side calmed down a little, took Zhang Rang's words, and said:

"Your Majesty, the general of the mother clan has been killed, and he has lost his arm outside the court. Our ten permanent servants are dead, and we have no brothers and sisters in the court. Your Majesty is now like a man whose hands and feet have been cut off, and he is blindfolded and ears. If the scholars in the court want to do something to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not even have the strength to fight back......"

The Son of Heaven Liu Wei is not too familiar with the Ten Standing Servants. He is most familiar with his maternal uncle He Jin and his mother Empress Dowager He. Hearing the words of Zhang Rang, Bi Lan and others, he was only skeptical.

However, the current situation of being tired and hungry, and not having a cronie by his side, was enough to make the helpless Tianzi, who was only fourteen years old, extremely frightened. Coupled with the heartfelt words of Zhang Rang and others, Liu Wei couldn't hold back anymore and cried with a whimper. Liu Xie, the nine-year-old king of Chen Liu, was infected by the cries of these adults, and simply burst into tears.

In this situation, I don't know if Emperor Guangwu of Han Guangwu saw it underground, would he be so angry that he got up from the coffin?

At this time, it was getting late and the sun was approaching dusk. The cry of the soothing voice came far away, and it was still faintly audible. This intermittent cry finally attracted the pursuers for the Son of Heaven and his party.

There are not many pursuers, only four or five people, and they are good at stealth ambushes. As a result, when the sharp-eyed Bi Lan spotted these pursuers, they had already sneaked to a distance of less than fifty steps from the Son of Heaven!

"There are thieves!"

The eunuchs exclaimed.

"Emasculation and leave! How dare you hold the Son of Heaven hostage! The sin deserves to be punished! ”

The pursuers led by him shouted loudly, taking the lead, with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and swooped down on the eunuchs!

Zhang Rang and his gang still have seven or eight people left, all of whom are good and courageous eunuchs. It's just that they have experienced a day-long fight and escape, and now they are at the end of their crossbows, and only one or two percent of their combat strength can be left. And the pursuers have certainly run far away, and their physical strength is better than that of the other party. So, once the two sides played. The pursuers killed three eunuchs and occupied an absolute advantage on the scene!

"Don't disturb the Holy Driver!"

Seeing that the pursuers had completely overwhelmed him, Zhang Rang, who was completely desperate in his heart, burst out with the last strength of his body at this moment. I saw him Huo Ran stand up, just like he usually does in the court, and loudly reprimanded the pursuer. This sudden emanation of official authority. The pursuers were taken aback and the offensive was suspended.

"We know you. You are the middle Peng under Wang Yun, and you are called ...... Min Gong, right? ”

Zhang Rang has been able to call the wind and rain in the Han Palace for decades, and of course he has outstanding features. He only had a one-sided relationship with this little official, and he still remembered this person a few months later. The pursuers didn't expect Zhang Rang to be able to recognize him, he was taken aback at first, and then reacted. "Hehe" sneered:

"What, you gelding, do you want to have a relationship?"

"Joke! Just a central Henan Peng, also worthy of a relationship with us? Replaced by Henan Yin Wang Lao'er, there are still some qualifications. It's just that I don't have much to say with a little person like you. Tell you directly, we can't walk anymore. I don't want to go either. But we can't let go of the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu! ”

The loud roar made Zhang Rang's chest ache faintly. He paused slightly. Then he cried out with grief and indignation:

"Boy, if you are lucky today, we will entrust the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang to you! You give us a little care, if you hurt the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu's hair, we will serve a few brothers, and we won't be able to spare you underground! On one's mind. Protect the Son of Heaven and return to the palace, it is enough for you to seal a liege! ”

Zhang Rang's words made Peng Mingong in central Henan a little difficult to understand. However, Duan Qi and Bi Lan on the side understood Zhang Rang's words as soon as they heard them. Duan Qi and Bi Lan exchanged a few glances with each other. Immediately there was an agreement.

——At this time, here, this scene, there is no choice for the attendants......

Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and Bi Lan had a tacit understanding that they straightened up the clothes on their bodies, lined up in a row, bowed to the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, and meticulously completed the three bows and nine bows. Then, the three of them took a few steps forward and came to the rolling Yellow River at the foot of Beibi Mountain, and shouted to the young emperor for the last time:

"Wait for the ministers to die, Your Majesty loves himself!"

Then, the three of them leaped forward as best they could, and plunged into the river, which was dyed yellow by a large amount of mud and sand. A wave turned over, and the powerful eunuchs who once dominated the Han Dynasty and directed the country disappeared and completely became the dust of history!

The rest of the eunuchs saw that the leader was doing this, and they all learned from each other, and after seeing the Son of Heaven, they threw themselves into the river and died. This scene also touched Min Gong and other enemies a lot.

- It is said that eunuchs mislead the country, but when they die, they can still be loyal to the Son of Heaven! (To be continued......)

PS: PS: (1) There are many theories about the list of the ten permanent attendants, one is actually twelve. The author thinks that they are tricks anyway, so I randomly choose a list of ten people. Those who have insight should not spray, and are welcome to correct in the book review.

PS: Regarding the loyalty of eunuchs, how to say it, due to their high personal attachment to the emperor, their loyalty is much higher than that of ordinary courtiers. It is said how greedy the eunuchs are and how they fish the people. In fact, looking at it the other way around, there are many ministers who are more out of line than eunuchs.

The real reason why civil officials hate eunuchs is that eunuchs only have personal loyalty to the emperor, which hinders civil officials from monopolizing the power of the imperial court.

Another song "Ode to the Eunuch Party" is attached, which can be regarded as a joke about the eunuch's exit!
