The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 207 Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang and the situation reaches a deadlock
In the hall, He Jin heard Li Ru say that Dong Zhuo could personally command 15 Xiliang cavalry. He rushed to Luoyang on the tenth and listened to He Jin's dispatch. He Jin's heart immediately beat, but his heart began to beat with anticipation.

Sitting in the position of the general.

He Jin felt more and more the benefits of having soldiers and horses in his hands.

For example, the Yuan family, with Yuan Shu as the pastor of Yuzhou and Yuan Shao as the pastor of Qingzhou, commanded a large army, even the court was polite to the Yuan family.

This is the benefit of military power.

The two armies in Luoyang directly obeyed Liu Hong's orders.

Although He Jin was a general and had the title of general, he was just a bare-bones soldier and did not have a large army at all.

This is why he continues to support Dong Zhuo every year.

Now is it finally time to pay back?

Li Ru was happy when he saw He Jin's heart moved, but his face remained calm and he assured He Jin:
"Ru has already confirmed it with Liangzhou Mu. As long as we have the general's clearance letter, we will be able to arrive in Luoyang in ten days!"

"Liangzhou Mu was supported by the general, and the general was Liangzhou Mu's backer. He was both prosperous and devastated. How could Liangzhou Mu allow the queen and the two princes to be treated unfairly? How could he see that? The eunuchs such as Shi Changshi took control of the court, deposed the general, and made the two princes emperor!"

What Li Ru said was quite loyal and serious. It seemed that Dong Zhuo had given He Jin his way. Only He Jin had a bright future and Dong Zhuo had a bright future, so Dong Zhuo would do his best to support He Jin.

However, what Li Ru said was exactly what he wanted to say.

At this moment, He Jin only felt that his investment had paid off, and that Dong Zhuo was truly his close confidant.

"Okay, okay, Dong Zhuo said it right. As long as I have the wealth and power of this great general, I will definitely have the wealth and power of Dong Zhuo!" He Jin said excitedly.

However, after a moment of excitement, He Jin hesitated again.

"Wen You, isn't it inappropriate to let Dong Zhuo lead troops into Luoyang without the imperial decree?"

He Jin did understand the rule that officials in border towns could not enter Luoyang without an imperial edict.

However, Li Ru shook his head directly and said to He Jin:

"The general is confused. Now the general and the ministers can't see His Majesty, and they can't even enter the palace. How can we obtain the imperial edict?"

"Moreover, even if the general reports this matter, it will only alert the enemy. He even doesn't know whether His Majesty is under house arrest by Zhang Rang and others at this time!"

"General, it is common sense to mobilize officers and soldiers from border towns to clear the emperor's side and eliminate castration problems!"

"This matter must not be spread out, otherwise, Zhang Rang and others may take advantage of it first!"

Li Ru persuaded He Jin with a serious look on his face.

He Jin listened to Li Ru's words and immediately felt that they made sense.

He Jin slapped his thigh and said: "What Wen You said is that your Majesty's life and death are unknown now. At this time, it is possible that Your Majesty will be placed under house arrest by Zhang Rang and others. Naturally, there is no need to report to Your Majesty!"

"This appointment is really damning. No matter what, the eldest prince and the young prince can be crown princes, but Liu Xie is chosen to be the king of Nanyang. This will definitely not convince the officials. This general should mobilize the border troops to bring order to the chaos! "

"Wen You, I will write a handwritten letter from the general here, stamped with the general's seal. You must summon Dong Zhuo to Luoyang immediately!"

He Jin finally chose to listen to Li Ru and mobilized Dong Zhuo to lead 15 Xiliang cavalry into Luoyang.

Li Ru was overjoyed when he heard this.

Without waiting long, Li Ru took the customs clearance document stamped with the general's seal, led dozens of riders out of Luoyang City, and flew towards Liangzhou.

Liu Hong conferred the title of three kings, but he was seriously ill and could not see anyone at all, which made the princes and ministers anxious and anxious.

But I also felt that a storm was coming.

Luoyang City.

Yuan House.

Yuan Feng and Yuan Kai sat at the head, and all the elders of the Yuan clan gathered.

"Sigh, I don't know what's going on recently. The eldest prince Liu Zhui, King of Hedong, the second prince Liu Xie, King Nanyang, and the third prince Liu Linzuo, aren't they a bit ridiculous? Aren't they all saying that the third prince Liu Lin was born with a strange phenomenon? , With such an outstanding appearance, how could he be granted the title of a remote prince?"

Yuan Wei frowned and said.

Listening to Yuan Wei's words, all members of the Yuan family nodded.

Yuan Feng, who was sitting at the top, shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said:

"The situation in the court is about to change. Although I don't know what happened in the palace, I am afraid that the battle between the relatives and the eunuchs will start again."

"However, these have nothing to do with our Yuan family. No matter who is the emperor, our Yuan family will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. The origin and the road are our biggest support!"

Yuan Feng's sharp words made everyone in the Yuan family laugh.

Indeed, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao held heavy troops and dominated Yuzhou and Qingzhou. They were not easily provoked by any party.

For the next ten days or so, He Jin became quiet, which made Zhang Rang and others feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Rang did not focus on He Jin, but on Liu Hong.

Liu Hong's illness worsened rapidly.

Seeing Liu Hong getting weaker day by day, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent attendants had made preparations for Liu Hong's death.

the other side.

More than ten miles outside Luoyang City.

He Jin touched the night and waited anxiously.

Li Ru on the side comforted him: "General, please be patient. It won't be long. Two days ago, the Liangzhou Mu said that he had left Chang'an and came to Luoyang!"

"That's good, that's good. I can see the Xiliang Army earlier, and this general will feel more at ease!" He Jin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his head and said.

indeed.

It is absolutely a serious crime to mobilize foreign troops into Luoyang without the imperial decree.

Even though He Jin is a general, he can't do it without the emperor's permission.

Only when the Xiliang army came, He Jin would completely let go.

Although He Jin was a bare-bones general, he was still a general in name. Although he had no troops in Luoyang and could not play a big role, he could control various checkpoints. Therefore, he easily let the Xiliang army enter Hangu Pass and pass through Chang'an. , came to Luoyang.

step, step, step
Suddenly, the ground trembled in front of them, and an endless stream of cavalry came in force.

"General, here we come, Liangzhou Mu has arrived!"

Li Ru was also happy when he saw this and hurriedly said to He Jin.

Dong Zhuo came very quickly, taking with him Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Que, Guo Si, Niu Fu and other generals. He hurriedly dismounted, saluted He and said:

"Dong Zhuo, I have met the general!"

"Okay, okay, it's good if Zhong Ying is here, it's good if she's here!" He Jin was relieved to see that Dong Zhuo still saluted respectfully when he saw him.

"Don't worry, General. Zhuo has heard about what happened in Luoyang. Zhuo Ding is at the disposal of the General! The general will bring an army of 15, which is enough to help the general to clear the emperor's side and support the eldest prince or the third prince to ascend the throne!" Dong Zhuo said in a rough and heroic manner! , however, it was the nicest words to hear in He Jin's ears.

"Okay, okay, in that case, Zhong Ying, let's quickly enter Luoyang City. You can mobilize a thousand elite troops, follow this general to control the city gates, and enlarge the army to enter the city!" He Jin said with great joy.

"No!" Dong Zhuo did not hesitate immediately and immediately dispatched a thousand elite troops to follow He Jin.

At the same time, the army was several miles behind them.

Just like this, under the control of He Jin, the 15 Xiliang army approached Luoyang City.

Luoyang City, South City Gate, the gate captain on duty is none other than Chun Yuqiong.

"Driving~"

A large group of people arrived at the gate of Luoyang, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were all shocked. "Who are the soldiers and horses under the city? Dare you break into Luoyang City at night?"

Chunyu Qiong, who smelled of alcohol, shouted loudly.

He Jin rode out and cursed loudly at Chunyu Qiong:
"Chun Yuqiong, why do I need to report to you when my general comes in and out of Luoyang?"

"This...is the general!" Chunyu Qiong was immediately excited when he saw He Jin at the foot of the city. Although the eldest prince and the young prince in Luoyang City were not crowned princes and made a fuss, Liu Hong He Jin did not come forward to deny Liu Lin and Liu Zhui, but He Jin was still the powerful general.

Chunyu Qiong naturally did not dare to offend.

Looking at the troops that He Jin had picked up from nowhere, they were no more than a thousand, and Chunyu Qiong did not dare to ask anything.

Chunyu Qiong, who was very drunk, said hurriedly:
"It's the general's fault that he didn't see clearly. Hurry, open the city gate!"

After Chunyu Qiong finished speaking, the gate of Luoyang City slowly opened under the excitement of He Jin, Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Que, Guo Si and others.

"Come in!" He Jin said, riding in the lead, and Dong Zhuo and others immediately followed.

Soon, He Jin and others led Qianqi into Luoyang City.

At this time, Chunyu Qiong, who was very drunk, was waiting. Seeing He Jin coming, she hurriedly went over to flatter He and saluted. However, before Chunyu Qiong could salute He, she saw Dong Zhuo aside. Chunyu Qiong was stunned and said:
"Dong Zhuo, Liangzhou Mu, aren't you from Liangzhou? Why did you suddenly come to Luoyang?"

Chunyu Qiong was stunned. Before she could recover, Dong Zhuo struck Chunyu Qiong with a sword in his hand.

Chunyu Qiong was shocked.

However, Chunyu Qiong was no match for Dong Zhuo, and was stabbed to death by Dong Zhuo's sword in panic.

Chunyu Qiong died with eyes closed, but Dong Zhuo kicked him over and shouted: "Robbing the city gate!"

"Kill!"

Thousands of elite Xiliang troops immediately rushed to kill them, and the defenders who had no time to react were massacred.

At the same time, a large number of Xiliang troops followed behind them, entering Luoyang City in a steady stream.

"It's a pity. They all obey His Majesty! Otherwise, they would all be included!"

He Jin looked at Chunyu Qiong and the city defenders lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but shook his head.

Indeed, almost all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City are in the hands of Liu Hong's subordinates Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo. If they want to seize the city gate, they must kill them.

rumbling~
15 Xiliang cavalry entered Luoyang City in a mighty manner. The earth shook violently, and the whole of Luoyang was alarmed.

The nobles, civil and military officials, and even everyone in the palace were awakened.

Those who didn't know thought it was an earthquake.

However, Huang Zhong, who was on duty at the palace, was shocked and hurriedly mobilized the imperial guards to prepare for the attack.

In addition, tens of thousands of troops were mobilized from the Royal Forest Army Camp.

Royal Palace.

The main hall is filled with the pungent smell of medicine.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good, Your Majesty, He Jin actually mobilized Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army to enter Luoyang, and is now confronting Huang Zhong's imperial army in front of the palace!"

Zhang Rang lost one of his running shoes, ran to Liu Hong, who was pale and lying on the bed, and said anxiously.

"Ahem... He Jin actually mobilized the Xiliang army to march into Luoyang?"

After listening to Zhang Rang's words, Liu Hong's eyes immediately widened, his face turned red and he coughed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this common man called Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, and said that he wanted to clean up the emperor and kill the slaves. Please make the decision for the slaves, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Rang cried and said, but he was extremely nervous.

Originally, Zhang Rang didn't care about He Jin at all.

However, Zhang Rang did not expect that He Jin would be so bold and quietly transfer Dong Zhuo to Luoyang.

Who can carry a total of 15 Xiliang cavalry?

Zhang Rang was terrified!
"Rebellious minister, he wants to rebel, cough cough, cough cough, let Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo come to see me!"

Liu Hong was angry and said weakly.

"No!" Zhang Rang hurriedly went to pass the message to Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo.

Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo quickly came to Liu Hong.

"His Majesty!"

Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo were busy saluting.

"Ahem, Huang Zhong, Jian Shuo, ahem, ahem, how many soldiers and horses do you have in hand, can you stop Dong Zhuo?"

Liu Hong asked Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly:
"Back to Your Majesty, the general has [-] troops in his hands. They have all been trained and ready to be dispatched by Your Majesty at any time!"

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Hong, who was seriously ill, and said:
"Your Majesty, the general has an army of thirty-five thousand!"

After a pause, Huang Zhong said solemnly: "Although Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army has a large number of people, it is not difficult to resist it alone. The Yulin army is all brave and good at fighting. One against three will not be a problem!"

Huang Zhong's words immediately made Liu Hong, Zhang Rang and others breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease.

As Liu Hong's order was issued, a large number of southern troops and Yulin troops entered Luoyang City. There were nearly 15 troops, but they were no less powerful than Dong Zhuo's [-] Xiliang cavalry.

Because Huang Zhong's Royal Guards are all brave and good warriors, and they were built by Huang Zhong over the years.

The southern troops in Jian Shuo's hands were also elite, most of them were elites who had conquered the Yellow Turbans, including generals such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

The imperial army and the Xiliang army started a street battle, and there was no winner.

The combat effectiveness displayed by the imperial army surprised He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru.

He Jin panicked.

Originally, he thought that with Dong Zhuo's troops, he could directly sweep the imperial troops and Qing Jun side, but it turned out that there was no winner or loser.

He didn't win, which made He Jin panic.

Liu Hong issued an imperial edict to let He Jin enter the palace to meet the emperor, but He Jin did not dare to go, for fear of being beheaded. He directly said that Liu Hong was controlled by Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, and He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Luoyang just to clear the emperor's side.

Unless Liu Hong comes out in person.

Moreover, He Jin also carried out the eldest prince and the young prince.

It is said that the eldest prince is more qualified to inherit the throne than his eldest son.

Because of his intelligence and talent, and the vision of heaven and earth at his birth, the young prince was recognized by Liu Hong and all the civil and military officials, and he was qualified to inherit the throne.

No matter what happens, Liu Xie won't be the king of Nanyang.

Unless Liu Hong personally gives an explanation that convinces him and all the civil and military officials before he stops his troops, how can he continue to carry out the Qing Dynasty's side to the end!

He Jin's words made all the civil and military officials who were about to scold He Jin for summoning the border troops into Luoyang fell silent, and then they all fell silent.

They also want to know why!
Why did you make the useless second prince the King of Nanyang, while leaving the eldest prince and the younger prince out of the equation?

Why didn't Liu Hong leave the palace for a month and didn't let them see him? Was he being held hostage by Zhang Rang, Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo as He Jin said?

Undoubtedly, these are all doubtful points, and they also want to take a look.

The entire situation in Luoyang has fallen into a deadlock, but it is full of the potential for a storm to come.
