In April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong, the eleventh emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, died in the Jiade Hall of Nangong at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, nicknamed Emperor Xiaoling.

Wu Wu, the prince argues that the emperor is on the throne, at the age of seventeen. The Empress is called the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is in the court. Amnesty the world, change the yuan to Guangxi. He was named the king of Bohai. Later, the general Yuan Kui was the Taifu, and the general He Jin participated in the Shangshu affair. and killed the captain of the military academy.

In May, he killed the hussar general Dong Chong.

In June, Empress Xiaoren Dong collapsed. Xin You, buried Emperor Xiaoling in Wenling.

In autumn and July, the king of Ganling was loyal. Geng Yin, Empress Xiaoren was buried in Hejian Shen Mausoleum. The king of the Bohai Sea is the king of Chen Liu.

In the three months after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the three lines of relatives, eunuchs, and scholars fought endlessly. Emperor Ling began to collapse, and the military academy captain Jian Shuo of the scholars and relatives above the first line became the eunuch, and the military affairs were in great trouble, and he was killed. Later, the Empress Dowager Dong was in charge of the military power, with her uncle Dong Zhong in charge of the military power, and eunuchs such as Zhang Rang, the permanent attendant of the Zhongchang, to prepare the government and connect the inside and outside.

The Empress Dowager He, the sister of the general He Jin, was not angry with the Empress Dowager Dong's dictatorship, so there were two palaces fighting for power, and the Empress Dowager He summoned her brother into the palace overnight to discuss important matters, and soon the hussar general Dong Zhong was killed, and then it was rumored that He Jinlu killed the Empress Dowager Dong, so the power of the court and government He Jin was in charge. He Jin was in power, and the eunuch family was naturally not angry, among which the rumor that He Jin killed the Empress Dowager Dong was spread by Zhang Rang and others.

In August, Zhang Rang and others regained their foothold and prepared to gradually counterattack, and He Jin naturally noticed that many people spoke to He Jin and raised troops into the palace to kill the eunuchs. He entered the palace to tell his sister, how did he know that the Empress Dowager He would not allow it, so He Jin never made up his mind. At this time, Yuan Shao said to He Jinjin: "You can summon heroes from all over the world, bring troops to Beijing, and punish them all." At this time, the matter is urgent, and the Queen Mother cannot be disobeyed. ”

He Jin thought that this was a great plan, so he went to various towns and summoned to Beijing. Cao Cao and others dissuaded, but He Jin didn't listen, Cao Cao sighed: "Those who mess with the world must also enter." ”

Dong Zhuo received the text, and immediately summoned Li Ru, Zhang Xiu, Niu Fu and other henchmen to discuss, and after passing the text to everyone, Dong Zhuo asked Li Rudao: "What is Wen's opinion?" ”

Seeing this, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, the achievement of meritorious deeds is only on the eve of the day." ”

Dong Zhuo heard it and said happily: "Wen is worried and careful." ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Now the lord has 200,000 heavy troops, and left some soldiers and horses to guard Guanzhong and Hedong, and the rest of the army is all marched into Luoyang as a deterrent, so that the lord can take power." Now, although He Jin passed on the lord to let the lord enter the army, there is a lot of dark smell in it, and the lord is on the table, which is naturally justified. And He Jin wants to use the lord's soldiers to destroy the eunuchs, and the lord can secretly write to Zhang Rang, so that he knows that He Jin wants to borrow foreign soldiers to kill the eunuchs, so that Zhang Rang will kill He Jin first, and then He Jin is dead, and the lord can kill the eunuch by the right name, and then there will be no one in Luoyang to restrain the lord. With such a three-pronged approach, isn't it just around the corner for the lord to achieve his deeds? ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Okay, just act according to what Wen Wei said, and the above things will be handed over to Wen Wei." Ling Niu Fu led 50,000 troops to garrison Guanzhong and Hedong, and the rest of the generals raised troops to enter Luoyang with the generals. ”

"No......"

Dong Zhuo's above watch was sent to He Jin in a few days, to the effect that: "Those who eavesdrop on the world so chaotic and rebellious are all insulted by Zhang Rang, the regular servant of the Yellow Gate." When the minister hears the soup to stop boiling, it is better to go to the salary; Although the carbuncle is painful, it is better than nourishing poison. The minister dares to ring the bell and drum into Luoyang, please let it go. Sheji is very lucky! The world is very lucky! ”

He Jin was naturally overjoyed when he received Dong Zhuo's above table, and showed the minister, although many people objected, but He Jin ignored it. Dong Zhuo secretly gave Zhang Rang's He Jin a plot, and immediately summoned the rest of the standing attendants to report the matter, and said: "If we don't strike first, we will all be wiped out." The rest of the Chang Shisen thought so, so they ambushed the knife and axe hand in the Jiade Gate, and then Zhang Rang told the Empress Dowager He and said: "Today, the general Jiao Zhao summoned foreign soldiers to the Beijing Division, and wanted to destroy the ministers, etc., and hoped that Niangniang would have mercy and help." ”

Empress Dowager He said: "You can apologize to the General's Mansion." ”

Zhang Rang said: "If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will have nothing to lose. Wang Niangniang announced that the general would enter the palace and stop it. If he does not comply, the ministers will only ask for death in front of the mother. So the Empress Dowager He sent an edict to announce He Jin.

He Jin was ready to enter the palace, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Chen Lin and others were all persuaded, but he didn't listen, so Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others gathered 500 soldiers and horses, let Yuan Shu command, and escorted He in front of the palace gate. The Yellow Gate was a decree to let He Jin enter the palace alone, He Jin was not afraid, and entered proudly, but when he arrived at the Dejiade Gate, he was cut into two sections by Zhang Rang and other pre-ambushed knife and axe hands.

Outside the palace, Yuan Shao and others saw that He Jin had not come out for a long time, and felt that something was wrong, so they shouted outside the palace gate: "Please get in the car, general." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Rang and the others threw He Jin's rank off the palace wall, and said: "He Jin has rebelled and has been ambushed, and the rest of the accomplices will be pardoned." ”

When Yuan Shao and the others heard that He Jin was dead, they were shocked, and they were in a hurry, and immediately shouted: "The eunuch party murdered the minister, and the evil party came to help in the war." Yuan Shao was the first to order, and then He Jinbu immediately set fire to Wu Kuang everywhere, and Yuan Shu led his troops into the palace, but when he saw the eunuchs, no matter how big or small, they were all killed.

There was chaos in the palace, and the young emperor and Chen Liuwang were embraced by Zhang Rang and Duan Jue and ran to the north mountain. Zhang Rang and others were chased by the soldiers, threw themselves into the river and died, the young emperor and Chen Liuwang hid aside, but the soldiers could not find them.

Back to Dong Zhuo, Ming Biao and He Jin secretly sent a letter to inform Zhang Rang, so that the two parties killed each other and reaped the benefits of the fisherman. Dong Zhuo's army was about 150,000, in addition to the 30,000 Flying Bear Army and Zhang Xiu's 40,000 iron cavalry, there were still more than 80,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, all of whom were elites who had been fighting in the frontier for several years.

Although Hedong Anyi is close to Luoyang, but the 150,000 army takes a lot of time to move forward and prepares, Dong Zhuo's army has not yet been cleaned up, Luoyang City is in chaos, He Jin was killed, Yuan Shao and others led troops into the palace to kill the eunuchs, the young emperor and Chen Liuwang disappeared The news has been reported.

Dong Zhuo immediately summoned Li Ru to discuss, Li Ru said: "Without further ado, the lord immediately led three thousand elite soldiers into Luoyang first, and then let Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu, and Hu Che'er accompany the three generals, and the rest of the troops rushed to Luoyang immediately after packing up, and Confucianism also walked with the lord. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately made a decision, and immediately led 3,000 personal soldiers, and Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Hu Che'er, Li Dao, Fan Chou, and Guo Yan went out first, and the army was temporarily led by Xu Rong, and he packed up and went to Luoyang as soon as possible.

After Zhang Xiu received the order, he handed over his 40,000 troops to Zhang Ji and Hu Zhen to command, and he led Hu Che'er and Xu Huang to go out with Dong Zhuo first.
