Chapter 109: Red Armor Guards
Even if it is Empress Dowager He's person, He Jin's power in the palace is already too huge, and the military power in his hands directly affects the safety of those people in the palace.
Although he is subject to the Empress Dowager He, the Empress Dowager He will only help him openly and secretly, and will not suppress him, which is caused by their own family relationship.
"It will take two days to get to Yangzhou, do you need to pass through Xiapi?"
Cheng Liu nodded: "Yes, I want to go to the palace as soon as possible to find out the movements inside." ”
Sweet Potato asked a little worriedly, "Why don't you wait for them to spread the news first?" It may be dangerous at this point. ”
Cheng Liu smiled: "Starting tomorrow, there will be dangers along the way, since it will take two days, I will think about how to lay it out." ”
Every move is crucial these days, and there are two of the safest pieces at the moment.
One is Luantang Mountain in Liangzhou, even if it can't take Liangzhou, but it is stationed on the western front, and the imperial court can send troops and horses to support at any time, as long as there is no change, Luantang Mountain has been Cheng Liu's back road for a long time.
After that, Yizhuang and Hidden Pile all the way south from Jizhou, these are part of the spy network, these chess pieces have been connected, if Yuan Shao in the north wants to take the lead in attacking himself, these Yizhuang will be enough for them to have a headache, not to mention that Xuzhou in the middle will also stop them.
At present, the biggest problem for Cheng Liu is not others, but Tao Qian.
Even though he helped himself repeatedly, to be honest, Cheng Liu didn't think he was one of his pawns, maybe he also regarded Cheng Liu as a pawn.
Under any circumstances, Cheng Liu couldn't trust him enough.
Originally, he wanted to lay out above the court, but although the eunuch and foreign relatives' regime was weakened, the power was already deep-rooted, and if Cheng Liu wanted to enter the arena at this time, it would be too wasteful of time, and he did not have the strength to confront those remaining henchmen.
Thinking of these Cheng Liu, I felt a little foggy, and my heart was also uncomfortable.
He looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anything else you have to do?" ”
Everyone shook their heads slightly.
"Get out, I'm going to rest."
Sweet Potato took everyone out, and Yu Youkui still instructed before leaving: "I and Sweet Potato will pay attention to the movement in the north, you don't need to worry too much, if you want to enter the palace, I will arrange it." ”
Cheng Liu didn't know what she had set up in the palace, but since he said so, he could only agree.
Everyone finally left, and Cheng Liu collapsed on the bed exhausted.
In my mind, the situation of warlord division at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is in my mind, and now the forces that are faintly surfacing are people who will make great achievements in the future, whether it is Yuan Shao or Sun Jian, or He Jin in the palace, they hold the military power, whether it is according to the historical deduction or not to take every step of the next step, it is an uncertain factor for Cheng Liu.
In troubled times, the most important thing is military power, Cheng Liu has a lot of military power, but he still has no sense of security.
This time to enter Beijing, he has to ask for more, no matter what He Jin will say at that time, or whether the Empress Dowager He is willing to let go, even if he finds an excuse, he will have to add tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Cheng Liu thought about this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and fell asleep unconsciously.
As soon as it was dawn, Cheng Liu was shouted.
It's cloudy, I'm afraid it's raining again, so I have to hurry up.
Tao Qian secretly sent several teams of men to guard the official road to prevent the forces in the north of Jizhou from secretly threatening Cheng Liu.
In the middle of the night, it was raining heavily.
The group could only go to Yizhuang for the time being to take shelter from the rain, and originally planned to arrive in Xiapi before the evening and enter the Jingshi tomorrow, but now it seems that it is unlikely.
Cheng Liu held the map in his hand and said while studying: "Do you think that which force was the first to attack us?" ”
Everyone leaned over and looked at the densely made force marker map on it, and Sweet Potato was the first to reply: "It should be Sun Jian from Jingzhou." At this time, he has the most prestige, and his reputation is also excellent, and he is the greatest threat to his son. ”
Yu Yukui is a reverse thinking.
"It should be He Jin in the palace, as long as his left and right Yulin Army stays at the pass, he can restrict Jianye's soldiers and horses, so whether his movements in the future are difficult for Gongzi or not, he will not make Gongzi feel better."
"But isn't the Queen Mother on the side of the child?"
Xia Chan suddenly asked.
Cheng Liu couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's not a parent, it's just a verbal promise to save her life, and in the end it's not certain whether I can do it, it's just a glimmer of hope in me." Speaking of which, He Jin shouldn't be able to take care of me at this time. ”
Yu Youkui shook his head: "I always thought so before, until I thought of the situation in the palace, if he wants to break the breakthrough, he must first find someone to start, you are the closest soldier to the Beijing Division, and you have no real power in your hands, and it is the easiest and no trouble to kill you as an example." ”
Cheng Liu suddenly rolled his eyes.
"How do you speak? Killing me is as easy as stepping on an ant, right? ”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun, who had been unclear about the situation at this time, suddenly asked: "Childe, I think that although the forces in the north are far away, because of Zhang Jiao's incident, I am afraid that they will give priority to testing you." ”
This so-called temptation is to see what it means to be friends or enemies......
Tian Feng took the initiative to reply to Zhao Yun's words: "It's unlikely, now as long as he keeps the northern forces, he can have a foothold in this troubled world, it is impossible for him not to know this truth, so it seems that now, no matter which one it is, it is not as big as the threat brought by He Jin in the palace, because just like the fish girl said, it is not difficult for him to kill you at this time, and even to have a reason, to have strength." ”
Hearing both of them say this, Cheng Liu suddenly realized that He Jin's threat was steadily increasing, and no matter what he wanted to do, it could affect the final situation of the Han family.
"Anyway, wait until I enter Beijing."
Cheng Liu put away the map and sighed slightly.
It seems that it is not easy to find a foothold among the heroes.
Suddenly, a man rushed from the heavy rain and flashed under the eaves.
"Husu is here."
As soon as he stood firm, Gu Guan spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers and horses on the official road was slowly walking towards Yizhuang, the people on the horses were wearing armor, and the rain splashed on their bodies with beautiful splashes.
Seeing that Gu Guan was still carrying rain, Cheng Liu said in a deep voice: "You go and change into dry clothes first, and I will meet him." ”
Gu Guan's figure didn't move, he just opened his mouth: "This team is about twenty people, and the strength is very strong, and it should be the core red-armored guard in the palace." There's a team behind me, I don't know where it came from, but it should be coming for you. ”
Sweet Potato picked up the saber and was about to go out, when Cheng Liu suddenly said: "Since it is two teams and two horses, you should be ready to kill me, don't worry." ”
