Chapter 106
Yang Xu never expected that He Jin and Yuan Shao would dare to lead a private team into the palace, let alone that Canglong Sima would help He Jin and Yuan Shao, disobeying the order of Prince Liu Bian and ordering his subordinates to open the gate of the palace.

The consequences of this absence were extremely serious, and hundreds of halberd-wielding soldiers under his command were immediately dispersed by He Jin's trilogy.

Seeing this, Yang Xu's beard trembled angrily, and he shouted sharply: "General, do you know what you are doing?!"

After shouting a few times but seeing no response from He Jin, he became even more angry, and simply called He Jin by his name: "He Jin! He Jin! Stop drinking all the songs under your command immediately, or I will consider it treason!"

However, He Jin, who was among the Buqu soldiers, still didn't respond at all. On the contrary, his group of Buqu rushed more and more fiercely. Although they didn't use any weapons, they pushed back the hundreds of halberd-wielding soldiers in Yangxu, and they were routed. .

That's right, although Zhijinwu's halberd guards are glamorous, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they are the bottom of Luoyang's forbidden army. How can they stop the general's private moves?
Furthermore, if you can stop it, you may not dare to stop it.

Seeing this, Yang Xu's subordinate Sima asked his superiors in amazement: "My lord, what... what should I do?"

How to do?
In fact, Yang Xu also wanted to ask.

If someone else forcibly broke into the palace, he would not hesitate to consider it treason, and immediately issued an order to kill him, even if his halberd-wielding soldiers might not be able to defeat the opponent.

But He Jin, he was not only the great general at the time, but also the elder brother of Empress He and the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, without the approval of those two, without evidence, even he would not dare to directly identify He Jin as a rebel.

The only thing he can do is to ask the halberd-wielding soldiers to form a human wall to block He Jin's movements and buy time for Cui Jun who is on duty in the palace.

"Block them! Block them!"

While shouting, Yang Xu led his subordinate Sima to chase after He Jin's trilogy.

But unfortunately, even if both sides did not use their weapons, the group of halberd-armored soldiers under him did not buy much time. After only a few tens of breaths, they were scattered and pierced by He Jin's trilogy, who quickly broke into the area. intrauterine.

Fortunately, Cui Jun, who was on duty inside the palace gate, had also learned of the situation, and ordered his subordinate Huben warriors to form an array ahead of time, blocking He Jinbuqu's way.

He caught a glimpse of Yuan Shao who was leading the people to the front, and shouted sharply: "Yuan Benchu! What is your intention to lead the army into the palace?!"

Naturally Yuan Shao also recognized Cui Jun as a powerful general, and cursed secretly in his heart.

After all, once upon a time, Huben Zhonglang would be served by his younger brother Yuan Shu. Although the relationship between the two brothers was not very good and they had their own schemes, they still agreed on the matter of eradicating the eunuch.

If his younger brother Yuan Shu was still a general of Huben at this time, not to mention the entire Huben army, at least half of them would fall to them.

However, his Yuan family was plotted against before, so that his younger brother Yuan Shu could only be forced to resign and go to Runan to encircle Gepi Huangjin, otherwise it would be Cui Jun's turn to yell at him at this moment?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao took a breath, and shouted in a deep voice: "Cui Jun, I am ordered by the general to lead the army into the palace to support the crown prince and eradicate evil spirits. If you have a heart for the crown prince, join me in the army."

Cui Jun's time in the court was not short, how could he not know Yuan Shao's deliberate plan to eradicate the eunuchs in the palace?

Although he didn't have the slightest affection for the eunuchs in the palace, but without the crown prince's nod, he would never dare to act on his own, let alone do something out of the ordinary like Yuan Shao.

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cui Jun shouted in a deep voice: "Yuan Benchu, the emperor passed away and the crown prince succeeded. The crown prince ordered the two palaces to be sealed off, so don't make mistakes!"

Seeing this, Yuan Shao wanted to ask He Jin to come forward, but when he turned around, he found that He Jin had disappeared, and he didn't know if he was hiding because he was afraid of being blamed by Queen He or the Crown Prince afterwards. This made him curse secretly, and immediately ordered Cui Jun said: "Cui Jun, get out of the way!"

"Forgive the hardship!"

Cui Jun sternly refused, and even drew out the sword at his waist, pointing at He Jin's trilogy on the opposite side, and ordered to his subordinate Huben army: "Those who cross the border, kill!"

Hearing the order, hundreds of Huben troops under his command also made a posture to meet the enemy.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao was frightened and angry, but he also had some worries in his heart. After all, among the forbidden troops in Luoyang, the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army barely retained the strength of the Royal Forbidden Army. Right now, the strength of the two sides is equal. If they really fight, he will There's no surefire way to win here.

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly to Cui Jun's Huben army: "Listen, you sons of the Huben army, I am Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of Sili, and I am ordered by the general to enter the palace to support the prince and eradicate the treacherous evil. My brother Yuan Gonglu is also under the command of the General, why didn't he obey the General's order?"

It has to be said that He Jin has been in the position of General for eight years, plus he treats people generously and rewards his subordinates generously, so he has a very high prestige in the Luoyang Forbidden Army. Although Cui Jun is young and promising, But in terms of fame, how can he compare with He Jin?

No, when Yuan Shao brought out General He Jin, Cui Jun's hundreds of tiger and ben troops immediately hesitated.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao took the opportunity to raise his arms and shouted: "My lords, follow me into the palace to support the crown prince. After this is done, the general will reward you a lot!"

After shouting, he led He Jin's trilogy and rushed towards Cui Jun's Huben army.

I saw that under Yuan Shao's persuasion, the Tiger's Ben army, which had formed a formation and strictly refused under Cui Jun's order, had its defense line like a thin piece of paper, and was torn to pieces by Yuan Shao's He Jin trilogy. He also responded to Yuan Shao's call and joined the team of King Qin to fight against rape.

Cui Jun stomped his feet in anger, pointed at Yuan Shao and shouted, "Yuan Shao conspired against him, kill him!"

Yuan Shao felt inexplicably uneasy when he heard this, and falsely said: "Cui's father and son conspired to eunuch officials, they should be killed!"

Under the two shouts, the two sides completely tore their skins apart and fought each other.

However, Cui Jun's time as the general of Huben Zhonglang is still short, let alone He Jin's reputation, even Yuan Shao, who was born in four generations and three princes, is not as good as Yuan Shao, so that when both sides accuse the other party of treason, the Huben army did not listen to Cui Jun. According to Jun's order, only a small group of people promoted by Cui Jun tried their best to protect Cui Jun.

During this period, a Sima said anxiously to Cui Jun: "These people are crazy, General Zhonglang, please retreat quickly."

Cui Jun said angrily: "The crown prince ordered me to stay here, how can I retreat?!"

After all, he ordered a guard to go to Yutang Hall to report the news quickly, and at the same time led the only hundred tiger and ben troops who obeyed his orders, and retreated towards Yutang Hall while fighting.

At the same time, Liu Bian and Lu Zhi had already returned to the Yutang Palace, and stood beside He Miao who would enter the palace later, silently watching Zhang Rang and other eunuchs decorate the mourning hall.

Not long after, Liu Bian vaguely heard the sound of fighting outside, he was stunned: Could it be that I underestimated Dong Zhong?He really rebelled?
He whispered this to Lu Zhi and He Miao, causing their expressions to change slightly.

Since weapons are not allowed in the mourning hall, He Miao walked towards a candlestick calmly, probably intending to use it as a weapon in the event of an accident, while Lu Zhi clenched his fists and stared at Sun Zhang, Duan Gui and others.

What puzzled the three of them was that Sun Zhang, Duan Gui and others were fine. Under the instructions of the Empress Dowager Dong, they arranged the mourning hall together with Zhang Rang and others until Liu Bian called Zhang Rang to his side. These people also heard the sound of fighting.

"What's the noise?"

At that time, Shi Gui frowned and murmured, and then seemed to think of something, and together with Sun Zhang and others in a panic, they protected the Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Hou Liu Xie behind them.

Sun Zhang even angrily questioned Empress He and Liu Bian: "Your Majesty's bones are not yet cold, so why the Empress and the Prince can't tolerate our family and others? Or is it that the Empress Dowager and Dong Hou cannot be tolerated?"

Empress Dowager Dong was also furious. She opened her eyes wide and pointed at Empress He and cursed: "Before my son died, I made your son the crown prince according to your wishes. What else do you want? Do you want to kill me, the old woman?"

Empress He, a strong person, how could she bear this grievance, and cursed back: "Don't spit out blood, today is not only the pain of losing your son, for the sake of His Majesty's bones, I don't care about you!"

After cursing, she panicked when she heard the shouts of killing, she hurriedly dragged her daughter-in-law Cai Yan to Liu Bian's side, and asked He Miao, "Second brother, what's going on?"

Not only He Miao, but also Liu Bian and Lu Zhi were stunned at this time. Before that, they suspected that Dong Zhong jumped the wall in a hurry and rebelled against him for self-protection. ah.

Just when Liu Bian was in doubt, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall. Immediately, two Huben soldiers broke into the hall regardless of Xia Houyuan's obstruction, and shouted loudly: "Queen Dowager, Empress, Prince, something is wrong. For some reason, Sili Xiaowei Yuan Shao led the general's trilogy to shout support for the crown prince and eradicate treacherous evil, disregarding the prohibition to disperse Jinwu's guards and our tiger army one after another, broke into the palace, and was heading straight for the Yutang Hall Come!"

"What?" Liu Bian was stunned.

You know, without He Jin's instruction, Yuan Shao would never dare to lead an army into the palace, unless he didn't want to be around He Jin anymore.

In other words, it was not Dong Zhong who caused the commotion, but his uncle He Jin?
He Miao and Lu Zhi were also dumbfounded, in disbelief: "What is brother (general) thinking?"

Everyone's shock was finally broken by Queen Mother Dong's angry scolding. She pointed at Queen He and scolded: "Bitch, did you say it wasn't you, Mrs. He who caused the disturbance?"

From the side, Sun Zhang, Duan Gui and others also panicked when they heard this, shouting "protect the Queen Mother" and "protect Dong Hou", and rushed towards Empress He, Liu Bian, and Cai Yan with their accomplices.

In fact, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Guo Sheng were also panicked. After all, they felt guilty when they heard Yuan Shao's name, but even so, they couldn't watch Sun Zhang and the others hold Empress He and the prince hostage.

So, as Guo Sheng shouted 'protect the queen' and 'protect the prince', Zhao Zhong also led a group of young eunuchs and rushed forward, wrestling with Sun Zhang, Duan Gui and others, smashing and smashing many decorations in the palace.

Only Zhang Rang retreated to Liu Bian's side, and said to Liu Bian with a bit of panic: "Prince, this..."

As if guessing the fear in his heart, Liu Bian raised his hand to interrupt, then looked left and right, saw a half-person-high floor-standing vase in the hall, and kicked it over.

There was a bang, and the vase fell to the ground, attracting Zhao Zhong, Sun Zhang and others to watch, and there was a slight pause in the scuffle.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bian yelled sharply: "Enough! What are you going to do in the royal father's mourning hall?!"

After all, he is the crown prince now, and this stern shouting is somehow intimidating, not only Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and others stopped, even the little eunuchs on Sun Zhang and Duan Gui's side also bowed their heads and retreated. Sun Zhang was furious, and said angrily, "It's not..."

"To shut up!"

Liu Bian interrupted Sun Zhang sternly, and said coldly: "If I want to kill you and others, I can just issue an edict after I succeed to the throne. Why bother to make trouble in the imperial father's mourning hall, so that the imperial father will not feel at ease under the nine springs?" ?”

"..." Sun Zhang and Duan Gui looked at each other with some doubts on their faces.

Xia Yun said cautiously: "If it wasn't for the instigation of the queen and the crown prince, then..."

Liu Bian ignored him, turned to Zhang Rang and said, "Zhang Rang, is there a crossbow in the province?"

"Yes." Zhang Rang quickly walked to the side, nodded and said, "One or two hundred."

"Immediately call the eunuchs in the province and tell them to carry crossbows to guard inside and outside the hall and listen to my orders."

"Yes!" Zhang Rang hurried away.

At this time, Liu Bian turned around, bowed first to Empress Dowager Dong and then to Empress He, and comforted him, "Grandmother and Empress Dowager, please rest assured, we will continue to decorate the mourning hall for the emperor. My son will take care of the outside affairs, and see to the end." Who is it... who caused the chaos!"

Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He looked at the solemn Liu Bian in surprise, and nodded in unison for a long while.

Except for Lu Zhi, the rest of the people in the hall also looked at Liu Bian in amazement, looking at His Royal Highness, who was calm and dignified at the moment.
