Great Wei Nengchen

"Good! Good!... Hahaha!" With a burst of loud laughter, He Jin walked towards the Suzaku Gate. At this moment, in his opinion, this is not the gate of the imperial palace, but a door of wealth and honor opened for him. Door!Maybe, there will be a surprise today! "

"The empress dowager only declares the general to enter the palace alone, and the rest of the people are not allowed to trespass on the palace, so as not to break the ancestral system of the Han family!" Zhao Zhong stretched out his big hand, smiling, stopped Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and others who wanted to enter the palace together This time he smiled brightly, like spring flowers in full bloom. It was a kind of joy after the success of a great event, and then he stepped back step by step and returned to the palace gate. Inside……

With the rumbling sound, the gate of the palace closed again...

118. Chapter 118 Blood Splattered Court

For a quarter of an hour, for two quarters of an hour, General He Jin did not come out...

For an hour, for two hours, the gate of the palace is still closed...

At this time, even Yuan Shao, whose political sensitivity has always been slow, felt uneasy. Cao Cao beside him rubbed his sword hilt frequently, but the majestic palace gate in front of him blocked the steps of these soldiers. , this is no longer a simple gate, but the authority accumulated by the Han Dynasty in 400 years, crossing it means trampling on the imperial power!

Cao and Yuan looked at each other, and ordered their soldiers to shout in unison: "General, please get in the car!...Please get in, general!... The shouts of hundreds of people passed through the palace gate and entered the Jiuchong Imperial City. !

"Crack!... Gulu..." With the sound, a bloody human head suddenly came out from behind the palace wall and landed straight in front of everyone. General He Jin's head, on the bloody head, He Jin's gray eyes opened wide, full of shock, panic, and regret...

Head to the sky, die with peace!

The world is impermanent, and life is like this. One moment you are rich and powerful, and the next moment you are decapitated, your family is ruined, and your family is destroyed. The countless wealth, wives and concubines that you can’t get enough of are all owned by others, hey!If I knew this earlier, why bother?In life, what is the struggle for?

This truth is very simple, but few people understand it, or in fact, they have already understood it in their hearts, but they have thrown "understanding" under their feet, and instead picked up "confused" and hung it around their necks. For thousands of years, countless The emperors, generals, heroes, and heroes all have a thorough understanding of the word "utility", but no one can put him down. This is human nature!

"According to His Majesty's will, He Jin's rebellion has already been executed, and the rest of the coercion will be pardoned!" A eunuch's unique sharp words sounded from within the palace wall. Surrounded by eunuchs holding swords, they were hiding behind the palace gate and yelling loudly. Many people's robes were covered with blood, which was the blood in He Jin's cavity; just now, in the corridor of the palace, That general who was like a pig was cut to pieces by them, neatly!

The first step of the coup d'état was successful, He Jin died in the trap that had been set long ago, but Zhang Rang did not choose to kill him immediately in the next step. Maybe without the leadership of this stupid pig, the military would be even stronger. If these generals are pushed into a hurry, it will be really troublesome.

Therefore, the old and cunning Zhang Rang first threw He Jin's head to demonstrate, and then pardoned the officials of the General's Mansion in the name of the little emperor. As long as today is over, he can threaten the Empress Dowager He and the little emperor, and use Zhang Rang's ability It is easy to play with the orphans and widows between applause, and then regain the power of the court, and reproduce the prestige of the eunuchs in power. At that time, wouldn't it be easy to go back and clean up the remnants of these generals' mansions one by one !

A group of dragons without a leader is a big taboo for military strategists. As long as the commander-in-chief in charge of the center falls on the battlefield, even a million soldiers will be defeated and scattered. Now the head of the general He Jin is rolling on the ground, and many personal guards immediately panic , everyone's eyes are all focused on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and now they are the only ones who can make decisions here.

The incident happened suddenly and the pressure was huge. Not everyone has the ability to deal with sudden crises. This time is the most test of a person's leadership ability. Whether he really has the heart of a general is clear at a glance!

Yuan Shao, the son of the family of the fourth generation and the third lord, a hero who was praised by the court, is sweating all over his face at this time, with a panicked expression on his face, looking at the majestic palace gate in front of him for a while, and looking at the blood on the ground for a while. He Jin, the head of Linlin, looked at the hundreds of armored soldiers behind him for a while, all kinds of pros and cons, and the possible, impossible, and ambiguous things that followed, flipping back and forth in his mind , Thinking over and over again, but still unable to make a decision, and his appearance has invisibly affected the armored soldiers behind him. Many people have already started to retreat step by step, and some even discarded their weapons and turned around to run away..., In desperation, Yuan Shao had no choice but to cast his eyes on the place he least wanted to look at... Cao Cao!

"Eunuchs murder ministers, and those who have the courage to follow me into the palace, kill the eunuchs, and clear the country!" Cao Cao did not hesitate at all, and immediately beheaded a soldier who was trying to escape with his sword in his hand, scaring him with blood. The others then shouted to the armored soldiers. He knew very well in his heart that the matter had come to this point, and there was no retreat. If he hesitated a little today, the armored soldiers behind him would immediately collapse. There will also be no place to bury the dead!

"Kill!..." General is the courage of the soldiers. With Cao Cao as the backbone, these personal guards immediately showed their sturdy side, rushing towards the Suzaku Gate, slashing the palace with their swords. The gate, and soon this symbol of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was chopped off beyond recognition.

On the other side, Yuan Shao finally made up his mind. There are some octagonal gazebos outside the palace gate. They were originally used as a place for the servants to rest and enjoy the cool air when the ministers entered the palace. It was demolished, and the wooden pillars removed from it were used as rams, carried by more than a dozen strong soldiers, and slammed into the palace gate...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The sound of the impact shook the entire palace, and at the same time shook the hearts of the 'Ten Attendants' and others. They found out in horror that when the imperial power of the big man was trampled on, their imperial power The derivatives have become humble.

Finally, following the impact of the wrestlers, after a loud noise, the gate of the palace collapsed!

"Children! If you fight with them, everyone will be rewarded!" With a short knife in hand, Zhang Rang threw off his robe. At this time, his pupils are full of blood. It's not you who died today. It's my life, with a wave of his big hand, those little eunuchs who have just received military training for a period of time, led by the 'ten permanent attendants' and others, swarmed up and fought with the soldiers of the general's mansion who rushed into the palace gate. Groups, shouts, screams, and the impact of weapons resounded in the most noble palace of the Han Dynasty, and blood washed this once holy land.

The personal soldiers of the General's Mansion are relatively strong, while the eunuchs in the palace rely on their numbers and their familiarity with the terrain. Suddenly, the two sides killed each other evenly, and no one could do anything to the other; at this time, the key to victory It depends on whose reinforcements can arrive first.

What happened in front of the palace gate quickly spread throughout Luoyang City, but the civil and military officials in the city surprisingly did not respond, especially the gentry clansmen, all chose to stand on the sidelines. Recently, He Jin has been domineering , and even boldly poisoned the mother of the country, which can be said to have lost the hearts of the people. Now that the relatives and eunuchs are fighting, maybe the ending of both sides is what they are looking forward to!

Because the group of "Ten Permanent Attendants" occupied the palace, controlled the little emperor and the queen mother, and grasped the title of righteousness, the situation seemed to be gradually favorable to them. If no external force intervened, the winning party would probably be the eunuch Ladies and gentlemen, the overall strategy of 'Zimu Gongzi' has seen the dawn of victory at this moment.

..............................................................................

In the general's mansion, two thousand soldiers and attendants had already lined up. Yuan Shu stood at the front of the line with his helmet on, but hesitating. In fact, from the beginning of the battle in the palace, Yuan Shao was like a messenger sent by the mansion to ask for help. However, Yuan Shu was reluctant to provide support for only one reason, that is, the messenger was sent by Yuan Shao, and he, Yuan Gonglu, was not willing to obey the command of his half-brother at all, but faced with the chaos in the palace, , he can't sit idly by, that's why he is hesitant!

Mr. Zimu was also standing in the team with a sword in his hand at this time, his white and tender face was gloomy, his eyes wandered constantly, obviously thinking about something; he was also appreciated for his repeated advice to Yuan Shu in recent days , has always played the role of a counselor, Yuan Shu's reluctance to send troops to support at this time has a lot to do with him constantly fanning the flames and sowing discord.What happened in the palace was really beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that when He Jin died, those personal guards would dare to draw their swords and break into the palace. With the swords and soldiers together, the situation became complicated, and there was no difference between victory and defeat. All he can do is intervene.

The failure of Mr. Zimu lies in his two miscalculations. One is that he miscalculated the authority of the Han Dynasty. If it was in the heyday of the Han Dynasty and the era when imperial power was sacred and inviolable, his schemes would definitely succeed. , But now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the imperial power is weak, these generals who command the troops also have the ambition to trample on the imperial power; and another miscalculation is that they underestimated a person, Cao Cao!

"Report!...Letter from General Cao!" A messenger galloped over again. Looking at the blood all over his body, he could tell that he must have retreated from the battlefield of the palace.The so-called letter was just an incomplete piece of wood, with a line of bright red writing on it, as if it was written with fingers stained with human blood. Although the writing was very hasty, the strokes were vigorous and powerful, and the momentum was still compelling.

Yuan Shu took the wooden plank in his hand and only glanced at it. Jealous anger burst out of his eyes immediately. He threw the wooden plank to the ground and pulled out the saber at his waist with his backhand. Yuan Shu roared and gave the order to attack. , the spears were like a forest, the armored soldiers were like a wall, and the brigade rushed towards the palace to help.

While walking, Mr. Zimu secretly picked up the wooden board from the ground, and there was only a simple sentence on it: "If you don't come, Yuan Benchu ​​will give you all the credit!"

"Benchu" is Yuan Shao's word. Cao Cao knew the contradiction between the two Yuans, so he took advantage of Yuan Shu's jealousy and cleverly won reinforcements for himself.

As the saying goes, it is better to invite generals than to provoke generals. Cao Cao can be regarded as a master of the penetration of people's hearts.

"Hey! Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde! After all, I underestimated you, you are truly a traitor!" Looking at the fierce battle in the imperial palace, Mr. Zimu expressed the following emotion.

119. Chapter 119 The Flame Rising to the Sky

In the imperial palace, in front of Suzaku's gate, the fierce fighting is still going on. The soldiers of the general's mansion in red battle robes and the eunuchs in brown clothes are like two groups of surging waves. Every fierce collision means With the loss of life, mutilated dead bodies are scattered inside and outside the palace gate, blood is sprinkled on every inch of the ground, and some low-lying areas have even converged into creeks...

With the support of 2000 soldiers led by Yuan Shu, the red wave gradually gained the upper hand, broke through the Suzaku Gate, and pressed into the palace step by step. No matter how Zhang Rang and others shouted, wished, and threatened, these newly armed After all, eunuchs were no match for professional soldiers, and the balance of victory began to tilt to the side of the General's Mansion.

"Little ones, stop me!" Zhang Rang was helpless now. Although he had killed several escaped eunuchs in a row, he still couldn't stop his subordinates from collapsing. He had no choice but to let Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and others guarded the Cuihua Building behind the Zhuque Gate, relying on the advantage of the location, resisted desperately, and tried to buy some time, while they fled to the harem with the rest of them. The palace, as long as he escapes to a safe place, and then calls in the name of the little emperor to gather people, there may be a chance to make a comeback.

In the red wave of attack, there is one person who is more anxious than Zhang Rang at this time, and that is the 'Mr. Zimu' standing behind the queue. Looking at the current situation, the failure of the eunuch's party is inevitable. For the 'ten permanent servants' He didn't care about his life and death. The alliance was originally formed because of interests. Now that the interests are shattered, the alliance will naturally cease to exist; Young master' is the real mastermind behind this series of things, that would be too bad!

How not to reveal the secret?Who can keep their mouths shut?The answer is: dead!

What if more than one person knows the secret?No one can guarantee whether Zhang Rang will tell other people the inside story, at least the rest of the 'Ten Attendants' may know...

To this, Mr. Zimu's answer is also very simple: a bunch of dead people!

Only by killing all the "Ten Attendants" can we guarantee our own safety.

If you want to implement the plan, you need a good tool. "Master Zimu" quickly found Yuan Shu who was also standing at the end of the team, urging his soldiers to charge forward. At that time, he was very hard-working. Although his sword was not stained with blood, at least his voice was hoarse. Standing at the forefront of the team, Cao Cao, who was fighting with the soldiers without saying a word, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao formed a stark contrast.

"General Gonglu!" Yuan Shu, whose name is Gonglu; because there are two generals of the Yuan family in the general's mansion, in order to distinguish them, everyone calls them brothers by words, "If this continues, the credit will go to Yuan Benchu. Think twice!"

Staring at his elder brother who was leading the team to fight in front, Yuan Shu agreed with Mr. Zimu's advice very much, but looking at the bloody battlefield in front of him, he couldn't take it apart from cutting a few times with the clean and bright sword in his hand. Out of the courage to rush forward, "What good strategy does Zimu have, teach me quickly, and after it is done, the wealth and honor will be shared!"

"The eunuchs in the palace resisted desperately, and it is difficult to attack in a hurry. We can attack the east and the west. It is better to let the two generals Cao Cao and Yuan Shao attract the attention of the enemy. Let's go around from the west. As far as I know, there are A relatively secret small door, named: Qingsuo Gate, is usually used for transporting firewood, rice and sundries in the palace, and the defense there must be empty, as long as you enter the inner court from there, the great contribution will go to General 'Luo'!"

"Good idea, I saw you right!" Yuan Shu excitedly waved the sword in his hand, led hundreds of people around him, and walked quietly towards Qingsuomen. Young Master Zimu naturally followed closely, his eyes full of determination The color, obviously planning a big deal in his heart again!

Mr. Zimu guessed right, Yuan Shu easily led people to rush in through the Qingsuo gate, and then rushed to the harem, where he could find the feats and glory he dreamed of.

Similarly, there is also what Zimu wants here, to destroy all good things, to destroy all evidence of crime with the might of Zhu Rong!

The emperor is also a human being, and as a human being, he cannot do without food, clothing, housing, and transportation; therefore, for the needs of the palace, a large amount of charcoal, grain and oil are stored near the Qingsuo Gate, and these things are what the 'Zimu Gongzi' needs, and there is no mercy. , if you want to kill people quickly without leaving any traces, you can't do without a big fire to add to the fun. This is the method he learned from Xiao Yi with blood lessons; Soon, the fire shot up into the sky, and quickly spread to all directions, and thick smoke enveloped the majestic imperial city.

If it is said that blood makes people excited, then what flames bring is terror. When blood and fire merge into one, what can only be attracted is madness!

"Kill! Go in, all the eunuchs, big and small, not one will be left behind!" The soaring flames also affected Yuan Shao's emotions. Similarly, he saw his younger brother Yuan Shu rushing into the inner court first. Driven by jealousy, he often I will compete for everything, comparing speed, bravery, and even brutality; Yuan Shao is holding such a mentality now, since you, Yuan Shu, dare to set fire to the palace, then I, Yuan Shao, will dare to kill the eunuchs and see who kills them More, more kills!

The eunuchs collapsed. In the eyes of these people, the imperial palace is not only a place for them to live, but also a temple in their hearts. The eunuchs were originally born attached to the imperial power. Now even the palace representing the imperial power is burning. Where do you go to attach yourself?

Under the encouragement of the billowing smoke, the red-eyed soldiers quickly attacked the Cuihua Tower. Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng, Cheng Kuang, Xia Hui and others among the "Ten Permanent Attendants" were chopped into meat by the rebellious soldiers, and this The building was quickly reduced to ashes in the flames...

The rebellious soldiers are most afraid of seeing blood. Once the killing starts, it is difficult to end. Whether it is those eunuchs who are stubbornly resisting, or those old, weak, sick, and unarmed, they are all included in the scope of killing. Even some unlucky court ladies were also slaughtered. , At this point, looting is inevitable, and many rare treasures in the palace began to be lost... Some soldiers took them, some palace maids hid them, and even some officers were doing their hands. At this time, the eyes are red Yes, silver is white, but greed is black...

In the harem, Young Master Zimu, who was leading his soldiers to slaughter the remnants of eunuchs, ran into an unexpected person---"General Yulin" He Miao.
