Cao Cao's plan is very simple, he is convinced that Xu Ji will never be unresponsive in the face of this situation, and now this situation may not be so good for Cao Cao, even if He Jin can succeed in the merit will not be himself, so it is better to see Xu Ji's reaction before making a decision. Although Xu Ji is very young, Cao Cao can almost be said to be a person in Luoyang City who has never underestimated Xu Ji, and he clearly knows what kind of ability this young man who seems to have only relied on his relationship to sit in the position of Jinwu, so he will explore Xu Ji's thoughts at this time.

After the flow of people out of He Jin's mansion, Cao Cao did not continue to follow these ministers directly to the palace, and through the alley in front of He Jin's mansion, Cao Cao arrived at Xu Ji's mansion. The Xu Mansion can almost be regarded as the most simple place in this area of the mansion of the powerful, and it even feels quite out of place with the surrounding environment. The gate of Xu's mansion was closed, and Cao Cao stepped forward and knocked on the copper ring on the door.

After waiting for less than a few breaths, someone opened the door of the mansion, and Cao Cao, the person who came out, naturally recognized it as Xu Ji's personal guard Dian Wei. Cao Cao smiled and saluted after seeing Dian Wei: "Captain Dian, can you pass on Wen Lie with me?" Cao Cao was in a hurry to see him. Although he said something urgent, Cao Cao's face did not show impatience, and Dian Wei did not seem to be surprised when he saw Cao Cao, and replied: "It turned out to be Captain Cao, the lord had already expected that Meng Degong would come, please come with me." ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, but he was really shocked in his heart, how could Xu Ji have expected that he would come to see him? This seems to be an inexplicable thing, with this kind of doubt, Cao Cao followed Dian Wei's footsteps and entered the Xu Mansion, here Cao Cao is certainly not the first time to come. But it's not very welcoming. Along the way, Cao Cao wanted to ask Dian Wei several times about why Xu Ji knew why he would come, but Cao Cao suppressed his words after the end, and Cao Cao understood that Dian Wei might not know. Even if you know the way, you may not tell yourself, so it's better not to ask. At that time, when I see Xu Ji, everything will naturally be clear.

And when Dian Wei led Cao Cao to Xu Ji's study, he was really curious in his heart, why did his lord guess that Cao Cao would definitely come, which obviously can't be explained with normal thinking, but Dian Wei has a good habit of being a fool, that is, he can't figure it out and don't think about it. With the study close in front of him, Dian Wei stopped his steps and turned to Cao Cao and said, "Meng Degong, please go yourself, I still have something to do." Without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, he left directly.

And Cao Cao was a little stunned, but he didn't take this matter to heart, although he didn't know much about Dian Wei and Cao Cao, but at least he knew that this rough man was Xu Ji's confidant, and he had no official position. Cao Cao naturally didn't want to put up any fight with him, not to mention that Dian Wei probably wouldn't pay attention to him at all.

When he entered the door of the study, he saw Xu Jiduan sitting behind the desk smiling, as if he had been waiting for him again, Cao Cao saw this situation and showed a wry smile: "Zhijin Wu is so comfortable, don't you know that Luoyang is already in a mess?" And Xu Ji smiled when he heard this: "Meng De doesn't think Wen Lie doesn't know? It's just that what else can Wen Lie do now? ”

Cao Cao was naturally a little helpless when he heard Xu Ji's words, Xu Ji made it clear that he didn't want to say more, but for Cao Cao, his purpose was to test Xu Ji's reaction, so it was naturally impossible to be satisfied with this answer: "Wen Lie doesn't know that the general has already led his troops into the palace, right?" ”

Xu Ji was immediately shocked when he heard this, he really didn't know that He Jin had already made such a move, after all, he didn't have a complete intelligence system in Luoyang. So some hindsight is also a helpless thing, but Xu Ji knows He Jin's purpose. But this must not be revealed, Xu Ji knows that Cao Cao is a person, this is not his own side. Whenever something is revealed, Cao Cao can guess everything, so Xu Ji pretended to be surprised and said, "What does the general want?" Could it be that you want to plot something wrong? ”

Xu Ji's acting skills have always been very good, and Cao Cao naturally didn't see anything wrong. So he opened his mouth to explain: "Jian Shuojin slandered and bewitched His Majesty, intending to murder the general. The general is naturally going to the side of the Qing monarch now. Can Wen Lie still sit firmly in the house? Cao Cao said so, where can Xu Ji still have nothing to say, but now that Cao Cao is forcing himself like this, it is really difficult to deal with it. Although he expected that Cao Cao would inevitably come to him, he did not fully guess Cao Cao's purpose, which led to a slightly passive situation for Xu Ji at this time, but this was still manageable for Xu Ji.

"Mengde, let me ask you, how does the general treat me?" As soon as Cao Cao asked this, Cao Cao immediately understood Xu Ji's attitude, as Cao Cao said, He Jin has never looked at Xu Ji directly, even if He Jin's background may not be much higher than Xu Ji, and there are many difficulties in Xu Ji's career, Xu Ji's current attitude understands that it doesn't matter at all He Jin's safety.

After getting such a statement, Cao Cao's purpose has actually been achieved, but although Xu Ji replied so, Cao Cao had the idea that it would not be the case in the future, but at this time, he didn't have time to dwell on these, Xu Ji could not participate in this matter, anyway, his identity was doomed, even if something happened, his identity and status would still not change much. But for Cao Cao, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed, to put it bluntly, this is one of the few career opportunities that Cao Cao can count on.

Of course, Cao Cao still wanted to ask Xu Ji some questions, but if he delayed any longer, he was afraid that he would miss He Jin's action this time, so Cao Cao didn't stop long and left, and after Cao Cao left, Xu Ji's expression also became very solemn, although Xu Ji didn't care, but in fact Xu Ji was really worried, he never believed that this was Jian Shuo's idea, but he was also very curious about how Zhang Rang let Jian Shuo come out, of course, this is not an important question, The most important trouble is that Zhang Rang may not be able to take advantage of it.

At this time, He Jin had already led his personal guards to the palace, of course He Jin led the hundred officials to Liu Hong not to mention, Yuan Shao followed He Jin to lead the five thousand imperial forest army behind He Jin, He Jin is not a joke to be deeply rooted in Luoyang, many of the defenders of the imperial city are He Jin's henchmen, so even Yuan Shao with five thousand soldiers has not been hindered, after arriving at the palace, Yuan Shao immediately ordered the eunuchs to be killed, whether it is a party of ten permanent servants. As long as it is a eunuch, they will be killed. And Jian Shuo was originally leading a group of private soldiers with ten permanent servants intending to kill He Jin, but what he was waiting for was not He but the Imperial Forest Army led by the murderous Yuan Shao.

Although the Imperial Forest Army has been corrupt for many years, it is true that there is no one in ten. However, Jian Shuo steadily occupied the disadvantage of numbers, and was defeated by the Imperial Forest Army under Yuan Shao as soon as they met. Jian Shuo also understood. Seeing that there was no chance, even if he wanted to retreat to the Imperial Garden and then look for Liu Hong to support him, Yuan Shao did not let him go at all, not only led his troops to press, but also regardless of losses.

In a hurry, Jian Shuo had to break away from the soldiers and sneak into the imperial garden alone, intending to avoid the pursuit.

Just as Jian Shuo was hiding in the imperial garden, he bumped into Guo Sheng, one of the ten permanent servants, and immediately Jian Shuo shouted: "Guo Changsheng, save quickly!" Jian Shuo thought that he had met a savior, but unexpectedly, Guo Sheng saw him alone in the imperial garden and his face was full of panic, not only did he not want to rescue, but asked: "Why is Captain Jian panicking?" ”

Jian Shuo stood three steps outside Guo Sheng's body and replied: "Yuan Shao, the general, led his troops into the palace, it seems that there is a bad intention, the slave and maid are invincible, and they are about to go to find the saint." In fact, Jian Shuo was also strange in his heart, it stands to reason that Zhang Rang told him that he was going to do something to He Jin. Originally, Jian Shuo thought that the ten permanent servants knew about it, but Guo Sheng in front of him didn't seem to know, what did this mean?

But before Jian Shuo could figure it out, he saw Guo Sheng pull out the sword on his waist and stab Jian Shuo directly, the three-step distance left for Jian Shuo's reaction time is really a little short, even if Jian Shuo was famous for his martial arts, but this moment is still an inevitable sword, although Jian Shuo tried his best to avoid the key point in a moment, but the lower abdomen was still injured by Guo Sheng, Jian Shuo couldn't help but angrily asked angrily when he saw this: "This is an alliance, why did Guo Changshi hurt me?" Could it be that he wants to go to this thief? Seeing that he had not been able to kill Jian Shuo, Guo Sheng also retreated to a relatively safe distance and said with a smile: "Who is an ally with you, a lowly person?" I didn't agree when Zhang let this idiot plot to kill the general, I didn't expect that you, a fool, were impatient to do the substitute death for him. Do you think that there is no general in this palace? ”

Jian Shuo was even more shocked and angry when he heard this, Guo Sheng's words were clear, he was afraid that it was He Jin's eyeliner, but Jian Shuo couldn't figure out what Guo Sheng had to rely on He Jin not to kill him: "Who doesn't know He Jin's attitude towards eunuchs like He Jin?" Guo Sheng, you're just seeking skin with the tiger. Won't it be the same fate as me then? And Guo Sheng on the other side smiled sarcastically: "Don't you know that I and the general are fellow villagers?" I also contributed to Queen He's entry into the harem back then, how could the general attack me? Fool, just die! After saying this, Guo Sheng immediately beckoned his followers to rush up.

Although Jian Shuo was quite powerful, he was injured after all and could not endure the battle. The previous battle with the Imperial Forest Army led by Yuan Shao also forced him to exhaust his physical strength, although Jian Shuo fought desperately to kill several people, but he could not escape the situation of death. And Guo Sheng took Jian Shuo's head, so he naturally went to find out where to enter.

Let's talk about Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang is naturally in the palace at this time. Although Yuan Shao led his troops to attack without encountering obstacles, Zhang Rang and the others naturally had already received the news, and even the killing of Jian Shuo had already received the news. Zhang Rang was very calm, he knew better than the rest of the people that it would be difficult for him and others to survive, but now he had no support in his hands, so Zhang Rang immediately waved his hand to find his cronies and asked for a few words, and then led everyone directly to Queen He's place, and now the only way to survive in death is only Queen He, as for Liu Hong? Zhang Rang had already sent someone to kill the emperor.

And this is Zhang Rang's plan, no matter how He Jin or Liu Hong is going to die today, now He Jin has no chance, so Liu Hong can only die. And the reason why Zhang Rang went to see Queen He in order to save her life is very simple, the reason why Queen He was able to achieve today's position is mostly due to the help of the ten permanent attendants, this kind of affection is still there after all, not to mention that Queen He is from a humble background and short-sighted, so it is naturally easier to fool.

At this time, although there was chaos in the palace, the palace where Empress He was located was still stable as usual, and when she saw Zhang Rang and others hurrying over with anxious faces, Empress He couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What is Zhang Changzhi panicking?" Zhang Rang immediately cried and said: "The old slave is dedicated to the Lord, but today the general wants to kill all of us, and asks the queen to restrain the future for us." Zhang let this play be performed to make Queen He a mess: "Zhang Changshou is not in a hurry, and take it slowly, the mourning family will definitely give Changshou justice." Zhang Rang secretly rejoiced in his heart when he heard this. It's also thanks to Queen He, and if you change someone, I'm afraid that you won't have any life if you do it. Although he thought about this in his heart, Zhang Rang's mouth did not stop: "Jian Shuo intends to murder the general, but he will not interfere with this matter." I'm afraid the general is going to punish us now. ”

At this moment, a voice came from outside the palace gate of Empress He: "Empress, Yuan Shao, under the command of General He Jin, is here, please hand over Zhang Rang and others to me." When Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately looked at Queen He with joy in his heart, and when Queen He saw this situation, she immediately said to Zhang Rang and others: "Don't worry, I should protect you." After saying this, he went to the palace gate and asked outside the door, "Who are you?" How dare you speak to the queen like this? The voice from outside the door was full of anger, and it seemed to be quite ambitious and complacent: "The minister is the tiger Ben Zhonglang general Yuan Shao, and he was ordered by the general to kill the eunuch!" Queen He immediately said angrily: "The general is my brother, did he still order you to come to the mourning palace to get rid of the eunuchs?" ”

Yuan Shao heard this outside the palace gate and couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart, his unkind tone seemed to have angered Queen He. This is absolutely unacceptable, so he ordered someone to invite He Jin to come over and explained to Queen He on the other side: "The queen's forgiveness is indeed the order of the general, and the queen does not believe it and does not care, so the minister will invite the general to come, and everything will be clear at that time." "Yuan Shao is actually not in a hurry at this time, Zhang Rang and his friends are blocked here, and it is really difficult to fly, so Yuan Shao is not in a hurry to kill Zhang Rang and others. Instead, he had the leisure to wait for He Jin to deal with this matter himself.

When Empress He heard Yuan Shao's words, she returned to the palace, Zhang Rang and the others still knelt on the ground, and when they saw Empress He entering, Zhang Rang cried and shouted: "Queen, the one who plotted to frame the general at the beginning." Zhi Saishuo is alone, and he does not do anything such as ministers. Today, the general listened to Yuan Shao's words and wanted to punish his ministers. Beggar's mercy! This is true and sincere, and Queen He is a little skeptical. Because Yuan Shao's attitude made her extremely dissatisfied, Queen He comforted Zhang Rang and said: "Don't worry. When the general comes, I will make it clear to you. ”

And He Jin didn't come here yet, and when he saw Liu Hong, he was stopped by Yuan Shao's subordinates who came to report the news, and immediately He Jin put it down and saw Liu Hong's plan to go straight to the harem, and when he arrived at the harem, half a pillar of incense had passed, and He came in front of the door and said to the door: "Sister, for my brother to do this again, the original thing is indeed for my brother's order, sister, don't blame, after all, the original is young and vigorous." ”

Hearing He Jin's voice, Zhang Rang showed a bitter face and made a look of despair, where did Queen He know the truth or falsehood, when even if she signaled Zhang Rang and the others to avoid it first, and then opened the door and let He enter, and after meeting, He Jin immediately asked: "Where is Zhang Rang and the others?" ”

Facing He Jin's questioning, Queen He was dissatisfied and said, "Why did my brother want to kill the eunuch?" Why didn't my sister know about this? He Jin's attitude towards this sister who brought power to him was still extremely important, so he told everything and discarded, and after hearing these things, Queen He asked He Jin rhetorically: "I and you are from a humble background, if you are not Zhang Rang, how can you enjoy this wealth?" Now that you are unkind, you have been punished, why do you listen to people's words and want to punish the eunuchs? He Jin really didn't think about these things, and now it seems that it does make sense to listen to his sister, but his resentment against Zhang Rang is really too deep, and He Jin fell silent for a while.

Seeing He Jin fall into silence, Queen He added another sentence: "Now that the first evil is punished, my brother still wants to implicate more innocent people?" ”

As soon as He Jin asked these words, he immediately showed embarrassment, so he said to Queen He: "It's still my sister's delicate mind, so it's okay, I'll go and dismiss the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command." After that, He Jin left Queen He in a hurry and went to the palace gate to see Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was naturally full of joy that He Jin had achieved the effect he expected, but Yuan Shao didn't know that He Jin had actually changed his mind, and to put it bluntly, He Jin planned to give up this time.

"Has the Empress Niangnian of the Great General already agreed?" Yuan Shao asked He Jin with an earnest face, and He Jin immediately asked He Jin from the palace of the queen. And He Jin frowned and said: "Originally, Jian Shuo set up a plot to kill me, but the clan destroyed his family." The rest need not be mutilated. After saying this, He Jin immediately turned around and was about to leave, but where could Yuan Shao accept this situation, as soon as He Jin said this, Yuan Shao immediately said to He Jin with an anxious face: "If you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, you will lose your life." Please also invite the general three or four! ”

However, He Jin was not in a very comfortable mood at this time, and Yuan Shao's behavior of kicking his nose and face made He Jin even more dissatisfied in his heart, so He Jin immediately opened his mouth and reprimanded: "My mind has been decided, don't say more!" After saying this, He Jin ignored Yuan Shao's reaction and left to see Liu Hong, as for Zhang Rang, this gave him a lot of time to react, which is definitely a good thing.

But at this time, He Jin didn't know that he would soon be able to clean up Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang would become He Jin's biggest trouble, but at this time, He Jin didn't know anything about it. (To be continued......)
