He Jin felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart at this time, a sense of horror, which made him not as optimistic as before.

At first, when Cao Cao spoke, He Jin still didn't like it, especially when it was worth celebrating, Cao Cao still said that he was worried but not happy. No matter what, listening to it in his ears, He Jin felt very uncomfortable in his heart!

But after that, everything was different. He Jin remembered the time when he was still a butcher, when he killed a pig, every time he had to put a lot of thought into it, he would kill the pig carefully, and what he was afraid of was that the pig would resist frantically before he died!

Oh, yes! Pigs still know how to resist before they are temporary, so what about people? Man, I'm afraid to be even more crazy, because pigs are just animals, but people are different, they can hold weapons, they have brains, and they have all kinds of means!

Thinking about it like this, He Jin couldn't help but put his mind at ease, and at the same time felt even more afraid of the kind of contempt he had just had! Ten permanent servants, but definitely not pigs, in the past, he even had to avoid it, how could such a person die peacefully? Are you willing to sit and watch the power in your hands flow away, and watch those who were originally under you step on your head?

Impossible, impossible, the Ten Standing Servants are so eager to repay them, if someone offends them, if they don't have a seizure at the moment, they will only use more cruel means to treat the person who offended them later.

What would he do if he was in the same situation as them? He Jin asked himself.

There is only one option, no other way, because there is no other way to go. Of course, it is a battle against the water, and in the case of so many enemies, either you fall or the enemy falls!

It's not that He Jin is too careful, he still remembers that when he was a butcher, others laughed at him for being too careful. But in fact, he couldn't help but be careless, what he remembered most was when he watched a butcher kill a pig when he was a child, and the pig to be slaughtered suddenly went berserk, knocked the butcher out, and vomited blood.

That's why He Jin was so angry, almost, almost he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Especially an enemy like the Ten Standing Attendants, as long as they are not careful, they will be doomed! He would have cast a cold look at that official, and if it weren't for the continued maintenance of his reputation as a corporal of Lixian, he would have sent someone to drive this official out, and at the same time let him never set foot in the General's Mansion again!

Although Cao Mengde hates it, as long as he thinks about it, he will understand that he is right! As for this official, after Cao Cao revealed the stakes in this, He Jin felt more and more that he had bad intentions, and he might even be a eunuch sent by the Ten Standing Servants to paralyze him and make him careless!

Cao Cao sat down, watching He Jin's face change, and let out a long breath in his heart. In fact, he still had doubts about whether He Jin could adopt his advice, but he only said what he said before with a hint of possibility.

Now it seems that his reminder was probably heard by He Jin. But Cao Cao didn't have the slightest sense of joy, what He Jin would do and what decisions he made, he couldn't control it. can only rely on this contrary words to make him sober up a little, but it still has little effect. At least Cao Cao already knew that He Jin was very tired of his current existence.

He deeply felt his own powerlessness, and that powerlessness filled his heart. It turned out that he was willing to be a pawn among the strong men, a brick and tile in the middle of the city wall. But after this period of experience, Cao Cao no longer wants to be a pawn and become a brick!

That's not enough, it's definitely not enough! He wants to grow up to the extent that he can influence the decision-making of the court, and become the head of the court of this big man, a voice that cannot be ignored and must be cared about and valued by everyone! If someone agrees with him, he can also rely on the power in his hands to decide the outcome of a matter! Instead of now, no matter how hard you try, it is full of uncertainty, and there is only a little bit of change in what has changed!

Ambition has never been burned so violently in Cao Cao's heart.

So violent, so turbulent.

"Mende is right." He Jin spoke slowly and said loudly. He glanced at the people in the hall, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually settled down, all the people in the hall, there were famous people at home, and many capable ministers, what was he afraid of?

"What do you teach me?" Standing up, He Jin hugged his fists.

His posture was lowered, and at least many people in the chamber hurriedly stood up, saluted back, and said "don't dare" in unison.

"Sit down, everybody, and say whatever you want. Since you come to the council room, you don't have to care too much, you can speak freely, whether it is right or wrong, you always have a heart to serve the country. He Jin smiled and pressed his hands down weakly.

After seeing that all the people who stood up were sitting, He Jinxin also sat back in the main seat.

"General." Yuan Shao stood up.

Seeing that it was Yuan Shao, those who were about to make suggestions also swallowed the words they were about to say back into their mouths and continued to brew. Most of the people here are officials in the general system, as well as strategists, and Yuan Shao is the one who attracts attention.

The family background of the fourth and third princes is proud enough to be proud of many people, and it can be said that as soon as he was born, he stood in a position that many people need to work hard for a long time to achieve. Even if he does nothing, Yuan Shao can be promoted step by step, just as he is now the one who has the most troops among the eight captains in the West Garden, except for Kai Shuo, and three of the other six captains are also in a group headed by him.

The protégés of the Yuan family are all over the court and outside, because of this, Yuan Shao is also the most special one in the general's mansion. Even He Jin had to treat him politely, let alone others.

Only now will there be such a scene, as soon as Yuan Shao speaks out, others will not rush to speak. Like the previous official against Cao Cao, they all pick soft persimmons to pinch, and Yuan Shao is undoubtedly the hard stone that can make people's heads bleed.

"What did you say at the beginning?" He Jin's smile became thicker, and he nodded and listened.

"There are reasons for the current style of the Ten Standing Servants, and of course it cannot be ruled out that they have completely softened." Yuan Shao said.

Those officials who had been singing praises before, after hearing Yuan Shao's words, couldn't help but show joy and nodded secretly.

"But... Meng De's words still make sense, and we can't easily relax our vigilance, otherwise we may be attacked by the tiger at any time. Although some of the ten permanent servants call them tigers, they should be called cunning foxes, and foxes are cunning and grudges, which are more dangerous than tigers. Yuan Shao talked eloquently.

Yuan Shao didn't actually say anything, but many people felt that he was right, and among these people was He Jin. These words not only made He Jin's face much better, and he felt that the previous thoughts were normal, but also vaguely reminded He Jin, so that he would not have no steps to go down.

When He Jin felt that it was very useful, Yuan Shao spoke again. "I believe that you, including the generals, have not forgotten the Xiyuan Army, right?"

"In the army of the West Garden, the Ten Standing Servants Jian Shuo has half of the troops, and there is no way to ignore the threat in this. What would happen if half of the army in the West Garden, following the orders of the eunuchs, broke out in the city? ”

Yuan Shao's words, like thunder, made the few people who were still immersed in the timidity of the Ten Standing Servants wake up. Thinking about Yuan Shao's words, their foreheads were already covered with dense beads of sweat.

Even He Jin is no exception.

They had forgotten one of the cards in the hands of the Ten Standing Servants before, and that was the West Garden Army! After the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, His Majesty used the excuse of defending the capital as an excuse to re-establish the Xiyuan Army, which was actually used to clamp down on the power of the general! Otherwise, the head of the eight captains of the West Park will definitely not be Jianshuo, one of the ten permanent attendants, and at the same time, he is a person trusted by His Majesty.

"However, the army is mobilized, and the tiger charm is needed!" One of the officers stood up, still holding on to a hint of illusion.

Cao Cao, Xun You, and several others took a deep look at the official when he spoke. As if they had just re-acquainted with him, a trace of intriguing light appeared in their eyes, and they quickly turned away to look at Yuan Shao, without looking at him again.

"Oh? Tiger Talisman? Yuan Shao smiled.

The official seemed to have found the backbone, nodded hurriedly, and repeated repeatedly: "Yes, Tiger Fu!" ”

"The mobilization of the army has always required the Tiger Talisman, whether it is a large army action or a few hundred troops, the Tiger Talisman must be indispensable! Not to mention that he is the head of the eight captains of the West Garden, if he is a person with a higher military rank than him, he will not be able to mobilize the army without a tiger talisman and an edict! As if afraid that Yuan Shao would not know, the official explained.

"But, now Your Majesty is seriously ill and can't wake up, Tiger Fu? Hehe, what do you want to do with the close service of the ten permanent servants? If you want a tiger talisman, he will give you a tiger talisman, and if you want an edict, he will give you an edict. As long as half of the army in the West Park is mobilized, the General's Mansion will be all powder in just a moment! Yuan Shao sneered twice, mercilessly destroying the official's naïve thoughts.

It is ridiculous to pin your hopes on the enemy's dare. Don't think that the Ten Standing Servants don't dare, they can do everything, what if they kill He Jin? When His Majesty woke up and knew that his great general was dead, he was afraid that he would not punish the ten permanent servants for half a point, but would be rewarded heavily!

Don't you dare? This sentence was really ridiculous, Yuan Shao endured it very hard, so he didn't let himself laugh out loud completely. If it weren't for the eight captains in the West Garden, half of the captains belonged to their side, and when the West Park Army was established, there was no reason to fight for it, so that it could be expanded to the eight captains, and the forces of the two sides checked and balanced each other. I'm afraid that there is no chance for them to sit here and talk at ease now, and everyone will die under the attack of the Xiyuan Army, and they will still be killed on the charge of rebellion!

"This..."He Jin's body trembled, and a few beads of sweat came out of his forehead. His hand was flat on his lap, but his knee was very tight at this moment.

Cao Cao's only felt fear, but now, he was completely frightened! After Yuan Shao said this, he really realized that it was not the Ten Standing Servants who were in danger, but the same danger as he, the great general!

It turned out that He Jin thought that he was very safe in Luoyang City, at least as a general, he was allowed to be escorted by the generals and soldiers in the army. But now, the sense of security in the past is gone, and the Xiyuan Army, which is close at hand, is like a dagger, right on his throat.

"Originally, what should we do now?" Holding back the anxiety in his heart, He Jin asked.

"It's simple." Yuan Shao smiled indifferently, and a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Kill Jian Shuo!" As long as we kill Jian Shuo, then all the problems will be solved, and we will be able to take over the Xiyuan Army smoothly, and at the same time, the ten permanent servants will have no minions, so we can only be slaughtered. ”

Yuan Shao said very resolutely, and everyone could feel the chill in his words.

He Jin frowned and said, "But, for what reason to kill Jian Shuo?" If Your Majesty wakes up, how will I deal with myself? ”

"And, what if that doesn't work out? The Xiyuan army is in chaos, and it will not be suppressed in a short period of time, and then there will be a big chaos in Beijing! He added on that.

Cao Cao and Xun You glanced at each other, and as soon as Fu touched, they immediately separated again. Everything is in plain sight, and He Jin's indecisiveness is vividly revealed at this time.

The most important of these words is undoubtedly the second half, the four words of chaos in Beijing. In fact, they heard a different voice, that is, security, and He Jin was afraid that his own safety would be threatened.

"This..." Yuan Shao's brows were also furrowed, he didn't expect He Jin to reject his proposal so vaguely, or rather, he wanted a safer way.

What he said was the best way to do it! The Ten Standing Servants have already made the heavens angry and resentful, and if they raise their arms in Luoyang City, it is estimated that there will be many people who want to make the Ten Standing Servants disappear completely! As for the army, it is even simpler, in the name of the general, the edict to the army, the edict to the world, the side of the king, the treacherous evil, why do you need more reasons?

For a moment, thoughts surged, and a slightly numb solution came to mind. Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said: "In that case, the general can lead foreign troops into Beijing." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Cao, and also found Cao Cao's gaze. Yuan Shao nodded lightly, seeing what Cao Cao was worried about.

"Meng De, am I, Yuan Benchu, such an unbearable person in your heart?" Yuan Shao felt a little bitter in his heart. By now, he and Cao Cao have gone farther and farther away, and they are no longer the two prodigals in Luoyang City in the past.

Exhaling a breath, Yuan Shao continued: "The general can summon the assassins to the states with the order of the general to lead the army into Beijing, clear the king's side, punish the treacherous and evil, so that everything is worry-free. ”

Everything is worry-free, everything is worry-free, but it is to seek the near and far, this sentence is what Yuan Shao did not say.

"Yes!" He Jin nodded on the main seat, and the worry on his face dissipated.

(Happy New Year to all!) ）
