I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 109
"Fire arrows."

Following Liu Bian's resolute order, the group of eunuchs who had already turned pale from fright pulled the trigger without hesitation, firing arrows one after another.

At a distance of only a dozen steps, even if the group of guards suspected of being Yuan Shao's dead soldiers were all in armor, they couldn't stop the power of the crossbow arrows.

However, this group of people rushed forward one after another, and a round of volleys could not kill them all. As the guys in the front row fell to the ground, the guys in the back still rushed to the formation formed by the eunuchs. There was no time to reload the arrow, and he could only look at the opponent with a face of horror, and swung his sword violently.

"what!"

A young eunuch whose face had been slashed by a sharp sword hugged the wounded part and screamed miserably. He was immediately kicked down by the suspected dead man and hit several eunuchs.

"Draw the sword! Draw the sword!"

Zhang Rang stomped his feet behind the pillars in the corridor and shouted: "Protect the prince, kill these thieves!"

All the eunuchs just woke up like a dream, they threw away their crossbows and drew their swords one after another, but seeing their pale and trembling appearances, they didn't look like they had the guts to kill the enemy.

In fact, this group of eunuchs did not have the guts to kill the enemy. The weapons in their hands would only resist when the swords of the dead men were about to hit their heads. Their strength was even worse than that of Zhi Jinwu. In the blink of an eye, more than [-] people were killed.

Seeing that the group was about to kill Liu Bian, Lu Zhi was anxious and angry, grabbed the sharp sword from another eunuch, and rushed to Liu Bian in a few steps, protecting the latter behind him while raising his sword. The sword moved forward, angrily scolded: "Aren't you afraid of punishing the three clans if you commit murder in front of the prince?"

At the same time, He Miao also grabbed the weapon from an eunuch beside him, and together with Xia Houyuan, they protected Liu Bian from left to right.

"Prince, back off." Xia Houyuan exclaimed, trying to pull Liu Bian with his hands, but was thrown away by the anxious Liu Bian.

"I don't believe these people really dare to touch me!"

He cursed, then looked up at the group of He Jin Buqu who hadn't killed them, and shouted loudly: "Listen everyone, whoever kills these criminals, I will make him a marquis and reward him with a thousand gold! "

After these words, not to mention the morale of the eunuchs was stimulated, even the group of He Jin who hesitated whether it should be good or not also hesitated.

It is undeniable that most of them have already known that their purpose tonight is to eradicate the eunuch, but Liu Bian personally stopped them, which made them hesitate. They did not expect that when the crown prince personally stopped However, Yuan Shao and that small group of companions dared to commit murder.

Listen to Yuan Shao?Or listen to the prince?
With all kinds of thoughts in mind, the first person made a decision: "Listen to the prince!"

Also, although Liu Bian just "indiscriminately" ordered people to shoot Wu Kuang, which made these generals feel angry, but the prince is still the prince, after all, the nephew of the general, and the prince promised to be a marquis and reward a thousand gold How can this not be tempting?

Under the lure of titles and money, those generals who had clamored to eradicate the eunuchs immediately changed sides, and sacrificed butcher knives to the group of former companions who were slaughtering the eunuchs.

Of course, there were also some people who were still hesitant. They gathered around Wang Yun and He Yong, who were in charge of the general's mansion, and asked them for instructions.

But in fact, Wang Yun and He Yong didn't know what to do. They just wanted to clear the king's side, but they never thought of rebellion.

What's more, He Yong chattered bitterly: "Ben Chu, Ben Chu, you are giving everyone..."

After complaining, he whispered to Wang Yun: "Master Zi, the only thing we can do now is to ask the general to clean up the mess. You should help the prince to stabilize the situation first, which shows that we have no intention of making trouble. I will go immediately." See the general, ask him to explain to the prince."

"It can only be this way."

Wang Yun nodded, and immediately ordered the surrounding He Jinbu to sing: "Masters, help the prince to take those people... down."

Hearing Wang Yun's order, everyone stepped forward one after another to stop the rebellious army that was fighting with the eunuchs.

The original rebellious army—that is, Yuan Shao's dead men, He Jin trilogy inspired by the former, and individual Huben army and Lang Wei, they were originally small in number, only nearly a hundred people, and even included Liu Bian who hesitated after hearing Liu Bian's reward. Those who defected, and now Wang Yun, as the general's mansion, also came forward to stop them, and the number of rebels decreased rapidly. Compared with those who were killed, more people chose to surrender.

Only the group of suspected Yuan Shao dead soldiers are still fighting, but these people can't last long when the general situation is gone. After Lu Zhi, He Miao, Wang Yun and others failed to persuade them to surrender several times, the defected The Great General Buqu, the Huben Army, Lang Wei and the eunuchs joined forces to kill.

However, Yuan Shao was nowhere to be found, and he didn't know whether he had fled in the chaos, which made Liu Bian angry and his face darkened.

At this moment, Wang Yun quickly walked to the bottom of the steps. Under the vigilant eyes and shouts of a group of eunuchs, he fell to the ground and confessed to Liu Bian standing in front of the hall: "The minister's general's mansion is in charge of Wang Yun. Safe and sound."

At this moment, Zhang Rang was beside Liu Bian, and screamed, "Take it down!"

A group of eunuchs with lingering fears were about to step forward, but Liu Bian raised his hand to stop him: "Slow down!"

The eunuchs immediately stopped and turned to look at Liu Bian, but Liu Bian asked expressionlessly, "Wang Yun, where is the general?"

Apparently Wang Yun also understood that today's incident was a big deal, and he dared not raise his head against the blue bricks on the ground: "I don't know, but He Yong and He Boqiu, who are also the staff of the general's mansion, have gone to look for it. , and the general will be found soon."

Hearing this, Liu Bian pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Wang Yun, did you see what Yuan Shao said and did just now?"

Wang Yun's heart trembled, and he said cautiously: "Chen... I saw it."

"But you waited for the plan beforehand?"

"No!" Wang Yun raised his head abruptly and explained in a panic: "Yuan Benchu ​​did it alone. I didn't know it beforehand. I was loyal to the Han Dynasty. I only wanted to eradicate the eunuchs in the palace and never dared to endanger the prince."

"..."

Liu Bian stared at Wang Yun quietly.

Regardless of the fact that Wang Yun and his group turned their backs at the last moment, Liu Bian might not believe what another person said, but Liu Bian believed what 'Wang Situ' said.

Although this Wang Yun can only share adversity, not wealth, he was also proud and arrogant after killing Dong Zhuo in history. Because he blindly underestimated the harm that Dong Zhuo's remaining party could cause, he refused to pardon Li Jue, Guo Si and others, causing the latter Desperate to counterattack Chang'an, Xiandi Liu Xie lost his only chance to revitalize the Han Dynasty, and later became a puppet of Cao Cao, but in terms of loyalty, Wang Yun was still loyal to the Han Dynasty, at best he was a power minister with little ability.

Considering that Chang'an was about to be breached, Wang Yun could escape with Lu Bu, but he still stayed with Emperor Xian Liu Xie. , Going to die generously, Liu Bian still has a somewhat favorable impression of this person.

But even if he has some good feelings, he still doesn't like Wang Yun.

You don't want to abandon Emperor Xian, you can take him and escape together, do you have to stay in Chang'an to seek death, let Emperor Xian fall into the hands of Li Jue, Guo Si and others?
Simply pedantic and stupid!

Thinking of this, Liu Bian snorted softly, and said lightly: "Come on, take Wang Yun down first, and deal with it after seeing the general!"

Seeing this, Zhang Rang immediately ordered two eunuchs to come forward.

All He Jinbu looked at each other in blank dismay, finally did not dare to stop, and Wang Yun also did not dare to resist, allowing the two eunuchs to escort him to the side hall of Yutang Hall.

As soon as Wang Yun was escorted away, Cui Jun, Cao Chun, and Zhang He led their troops to kill them and surrounded the rebellious army in front of the Yutang Hall. The latter did not dare to resist, and dropped their weapons while shouting. He wrote such words as "I just waited for everything to be deceived", "We have no intention of rebellion", "The prince has pardoned us".

Cui Jun, Cao Chun, and Zhang He ignored them and ordered their soldiers to surround the rebels, while they rushed to the front of the Yutang Hall, knocked on the ground and clasped their fists, saying: "I am waiting for the rescue to come late, please forgive the prince."

Liu Bian nodded and asked, "Can you see Taifu Yang? How is he?"

Cui Jun was a little surprised that Liu Bian actually asked Yang Xu first, and said truthfully: "Prince, don't worry, Young Master Yang is fine. Cao Youjian and Captain Zhang Duwei helped me kill the rebellious army. On the way here, I asked the guards to check on Young Master Yang. Fu, I learned that he has led the guards to control the Canglongmen."

Liu Bian nodded slightly when he heard the words, and immediately ordered: "Cui Jun, you lead the rest of the guards to guard the Yutang Palace, Cao Chun, Zhang He, you two are responsible for guarding these soldiers here, and the rest will be discussed after dawn.  … , send someone to inform Yang Shaofu that the general will come to Yutang Palace alone, and the rest of the officials will not be allowed to enter the palace for the time being."

"Yes!" The three clasped their fists in acceptance.

After ordering the three of them, Liu Bian turned around and returned to Yutang Hall, and said to Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He, "Grandmother, Empress Mother, the crisis is over for now."

It can be seen that Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He have learned about the situation outside the palace, but they still seem a little out of their minds.

Unlike Empress Dowager Dong who looked at Liu Bian with a complicated expression and nodded slightly without saying anything, Empress He walked quickly to Liu Bian with Cai Yan and asked in a low voice, "Is my son not injured?"

Seeing Cai Yan also looked worried, normally Liu Bian would tease her, but now he is not in the mood, just shook his head: "With the protection of my second uncle and Master Lu, the child is not injured."

Empress He breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but she heard Empress Dowager Dong coldly snorting beside her: "Didn't your He family make a fuss?"

When Empress He heard the words, she turned her head and glared at Empress Dowager Dong. Liu Bian hurriedly held her back and persuaded her, "Quiet mother, calm down, the emperor's mourning hall, besides, things are not settled yet..."

Cai Yan from the side also persuaded in a low voice, Empress He suppressed the anger in her heart, and after glaring at Empress Dowager Dong bitterly, she pulled Liu Bian aside, and asked in a low voice, "Where is your uncle?"

"The child has been summoned."

"Hmm." Empress He nodded, but the anger in her eyes did not diminish.

At the same time, He Jin was hiding in Zhang De Hall with some guards, pacing back and forth anxiously.

After a while, several guards hurriedly opened the door and entered the hall, and said anxiously: "General, something serious happened."

He Jin was startled, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

So those guards sent by He Jin to keep an eye on Yuan Shao told He Jin what had happened in front of the Yutang Hall, only to hear He Jin's eyes widen, terrified: "He...Yuan Benchu ​​actually committed murder in front of the crown prince?"

After being confirmed by those guards, He Jin only felt dizzy, gasped for breath with the support of the guards, and then muttered to himself: "This...how should this be done?"

At this moment, He Jin wished he could escape back to his General's Mansion, pretending he didn't know anything, and blamed Yuan Shao for all his crimes.
