Chapter Twenty-Nine: Purge

When Zhou Yu was asleep, the general's mansion was indeed brightly lit, and the general He Jin in the hall summoned the generals and captains under his tent to come to his mansion, not only that, everyone was wearing armor and hanging swords from their waists, and the scene was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"General, the little one has already sent someone to keep an eye on all the killers' whereabouts, do you want to do it immediately?" He Ren whispered to He Jin.

"Grandma's can do it, and in a while, I will transfer enough soldiers and horses to this general to surround the killer's foothold, and if you can catch all the people who want to live, if anyone dares to resist, they will be killed on the spot! Cheng De, Sun Li, Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong, and Bao Xin stepped forward to listen to the order-" The general He Jin slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"The last general will be sent by the general after listening!" The generals spoke in unison.

Cao Cao's rescue of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liu Xie was a great achievement, and also made the general He Jin impressed, a person who led three hundred old and weak soldiers, actually swept the stronghold of the rogue and intercepted the lost money and food, these performances made the general He Jin feel that Cao Cao is a capable person, and his background is not good and is looked down upon by the ministers of the court, if he can reuse Cao Cao, he will be able to cultivate a capable subordinate for himself in time, for this consideration he decided to let Cao Cao participate in tonight's operation.

"Cheng De, you quickly go and gather soldiers and horses to block the four gates of Luoyang City, and those who are close to the city gates will be killed on the spot without the general's general! Sun Li gathers your soldiers and horses to patrol every street and alley in the city, and if you find anyone walking around, you will not be spared! General He Jin gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"The last general's order-" Cheng De and Sun Li took the token and retreated to the side.

"Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong, and Bao Xin obey orders! Cao Cao alone led 200 elite soldiers to the stronghold of the black-clothed killer to arrest all the people inside, and if there was resistance, he could kill them on the spot! Chun Yuqiong and Bao Xin took 200 elite soldiers to another stronghold to capture the yellow-clothed killer, and remember to carry more shields. The others are here to stand by, ready to help!

"The general He Jin intends to promote Cao Cao and let him lead the army alone to capture the killer.

"The last general commands!" Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong, and Bao Xin received the order to retreat to the side, but Chun Yuqiong and Bao Xin did not understand the words of the general He Jin, and He Jin asked them to bring more shields, and they didn't hear this sentence at all.

"Good, good, good - I hope that all the generals can encourage each other to do this thing beautifully, and this general will be rewarded! Tonight's password 'clean', let's go down and prepare for the mission! Start moving! ”

......

"Someone from the Taiwei Mansion is asking to see Lord Sikong!" Yuan Feng was reading the official document in the study, and the housekeeper's voice sounded outside the door.

"Quickly invite him in—you go and call Yuan Kui here for me again!" Yuan Feng also felt that tonight was not peaceful, the black-clothed killer in the city was an organization secretly established by him, Zhongchang Wang Fu, Taiwei Duan Cheng, and his younger brother Yuan Kui, in order to eliminate dissidents and eradicate some people who endangered their own interests, and usually took some bounty tasks to sharpen the killers in the organization, and this killer organization has a very nice name called "Zhongjun", looking at the literal meaning that they are old ministers to bless the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

In recent years, the power of the great general He Jin has become increasingly huge, and the power of eunuchs has become more and more unscrupulous under the indulgence of the Son of Heaven Liu Hong. The power of the civil officials and doctors in the court gradually shrank under the pressure of both sides, and only the ability to protect themselves remained. If it weren't for the fact that the situation was not optimistic, Sikong Yuan Feng would not have sent his son to the general He Jin as a general, in fact, he would have surrendered to He Jin and left a way back for the Yuan family. What the Yuan family said was that the protégés of the fourth and third princes were all over the government and the opposition, but Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui realized that if they wanted to ensure the prosperity of the Yuan family, they must control the government internally and the military power externally.

For now, this loyal monarch's organization has become a tool for the four of them to collect money, and this time the leader of the loyal monarch accepted the task of murdering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without authorization, if it is found out, then all of them will be exterminated by the nine clans, and the order of the general He Jin can just fool the people. For people with identities like Yuan Feng, Wang Fu, and Duan Cheng, He Jin's orders are no secret at all.

"Lord Yuan, the old man came to visit you in person, and it was a little abrupt. It's just that the old man really has no idea about this matter, as far as the old man knows, this time the task of assassinating the prince is the middle school regular servant Wang Fu nodded, he has already reached a line with the eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong behind our backs, and our lives are at stake to find a way to save ourselves! The person who walked in was wearing a black cloak, and by the candlelight, he could see a panicked look on his face, he was the imperial lieutenant Duan Cheng.

"Lord Duan, don't panic - I've already discussed with my second brother, since I can't be in the same boat, then throw him into the water and drown him." Yuan Feng glanced at Yuan Kui, and Yuan Kui nodded towards Yuan Feng.

"Lord Yuan, please forgive me for being old and stupid—what do you mean—" Duan Cheng made a killing gesture.

"Yes—but we can't do it—it's easy to leave a trick on people, and if he Wang Fu gets into trouble himself, let him commit suicide in fear of sin!" This sentence came out of Yuan Feng's mouth lightly, but when he heard that Duan Feng's ears were like thunder, would Wang Fu, a regular servant, be so obedient and afraid of sin, and commit suicide? He also saw the terrible situation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and it was really not something that he could compare with a captain.

"Good...... The old man is relieved, and in the future, the old man will still take the lead of Lord Yuan. It's not early, and the old man is leaving! Duan Cheng quietly took out a hand towel from his cuff and wiped his sweat, he actually wanted to stay in the Yuan family in his heart, at least he would not be treated as a sacrifice. But if he doesn't leave, the Yuan brothers will see that he is weak-hearted, and he is entangled in his heart!

"Master Duan doesn't need to worry, it's curfew outside now, and it's inappropriate to go back at this time! Why don't you stay in the old man's house tonight, how about we drink and chat together? Yuan Feng saw through Duan Cheng's thoughts, although he despised this kind of person in his heart, but this kind of person has a little advantage that he doesn't dare to turn his back easily, and the bad thing to say is that he is greedy for life and afraid of death.

All walks of life were ready, Cao Cao led two hundred elite soldiers to surround a mansion provided by He Ren, and this time he selected troops and horses to follow Cao Ren's advice, and among the two hundred elite soldiers, fifty sword and shield men, fifty archers, fifty cavalry, and fifty pikemen. As soon as he arrived at the designated position, Cao Ren arranged for fifty archers to occupy the commanding heights around the courtyard and control the intersections around the courtyard that were convenient for escape; Fifty sword and shield men defended, fifty pikemen attacked, and the remaining fifty cavalry maneuvered to kill the enemy.

"Xiahou Yuan obeys the order - you will lead the sword and shield men to attack the gate, Cao Hong will lead the pikemen to assist, and Xiahou Yuan will lead the archers to guard the Quartet, and no one will be allowed to escape." Cao Cao felt the attitude of the great general He Jin towards him, and he also entrusted himself with the heavy task of arresting the black-clothed killer, no matter what the result was, his great achievement was certain.

"The last general commands - kill!" Xiahoudun took the lead in rushing to the gate with a heavy knife and a shield, and the black-clothed killers in the courtyard did not want to sit still, so they launched a crazy counterattack, and the archers on the wall shot at the officers and soldiers. Xiahou Yuan hurriedly commanded the archers to suppress it, buying time for Xiahoudun and Cao Hong to break through the gate.

"Click-boom-" After a burst of onslaught, the latch of the gate was smashed, and then the gate creaked and fell to the ground. Xiahoudun and Cao Hong led the soldiers and horses to rush in, and the shouts of killing resounded all around.

"Report - General Xiahou let a small return, all the enemies in the courtyard were annihilated, and two alive mouths were caught! It's just that one of them broke free from our caretaker, General Xiahou and General Cao Hong chased after them, and the little one came back to ask for instructions on what to do next?" A soldier ran to Cao Cao to report the results of the battle.

"Well, what's the talent! Hurry up and pick up Yuan Rang and Zilian, tell them not to chase too quickly, and see where this person ends up? We guess we've caught another big fish! Haha-" Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.
