Chapter 255 Luoyang Turbulence
Rumble

The sky suddenly turned gloomy, and in the dark clouds, there were thousands of lightning snakes, making deafening roars.

He Jin had completely torn his face off with Yuan Shao. He drew his sword and shouted at the soldiers. The sound was so loud that it drowned out the thunder and rain. It was almost a roar at the top of his lungs.

"Yuan Benchu, you spread rumors, attacked the Forbidden City, insulted His Majesty, and offended the majesty of heaven. Generals, listen to my orders and detain Yuan Benchu ​​and his accomplices in the prison!"

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were horrified when they heard this. In their eyes, He Jin, who was like a family dog, had now turned into a mad dog who had lost his mind. This crime was really too serious!
One scholar mustered up the courage to refute: "General, we mistakenly thought you were killed by a eunuch."

However, what greeted him was a sharp arrow, which flew past his ear with a strong wind. He was so frightened that he immediately rushed into the crowd.

Yuan Shu screamed at Dong Zhuo in panic, "Dong Zhongying, are you going to just watch this happen?!"

Dong Zhuo remembered Li Ru's instructions and said seriously, "I just came to Luoyang on the order of the general."

"The Master never told me anything."

As he spoke, Dong Zhuo looked at He Jin.

"Of course I will obey the general's order, but once the Xiongnu and Qiang people under my command take action, even I will not be able to control them."

He Jin nodded. He understood that Dong Zhuo was trying to avoid suspicion. As for what Xu Jing had told him, it was not a good time to bring it up now.

Yuan Shu wanted to bite his teeth to pieces, and was about to yell at Dong Zhuo for driving a car with a beautiful voice. Fortunately, Yuan Shao grabbed his shoulders in time and whispered in his ear: "It's a blessing that Dong Zhongying didn't make a move!"

Yuan Shu glared at Yuan Shao and said, "Are we going to surrender without a fight?!"

"Of course not!" Yuan Shao's eyes were firm, and the people following him clenched their fists. They naturally understood that the fate of falling into He Jin's hands would be extremely bad.

They won’t necessarily lose!
War is imminent!
Yuan Shao shouted loudly
"This man is just using the name of the general. Follow me to wipe out the rebels!"

"I will reward anyone who kills the enemy handsomely!"

The Eight Schools of Xiyuan led by Yuan Shao were indeed Liu Hong's last efforts. Under Yuan Shao's financial offensive, facing the attack of the five schools of the Northern Army, they were evenly matched for a while.

But Yuan Shao soon discovered the shortcomings of the Eight Schools of Xiyuan. The morale of the Eight Schools of Xiyuan dropped too quickly, didn't it?!
Oh no, we’re going to lose!
Not only Yuan Shao, but also Yuan Shu, Feng Fang and others secretly thought that something was wrong.

From the original stalemate, it turned into a retreat
The rumbling thunder frightened the young emperor Liu Bian so much that he shrank his head and trembled. Even Xu Jing's comfort was of no avail.

Xu Jing was equally confused and wanted to go with He Jin.

But He Jin shook his head and refused. The other party smiled and said

"Wen Xiu, you are just a Shangshu."

The arrow that was shot eventually came back in a strange way.

At He Jin's strong request, he was promoted to the position of Shizhong, and obtained power that had been abolished since the reign of Emperor Xiaozhang. He was able to enter and leave the palace freely. Apart from the He brothers and sisters, he was the closest to the emperor.

Xu Jing suddenly felt a little dazed. What was his original ambition? To become a high-ranking official? To become famous all over the world?

The past in the dream combined with the letter sent by Chen Deng
He witnessed the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, and saw that nine out of ten houses were empty, and the princes attacked each other and fought bloody battles.

In such a chaotic world, I’m afraid his people won’t have an easy time either, right?

What’s more, he cares about the people.

Therefore, he deliberately ignored the contents of Chen Deng's letter, and before He Jin went to Beimang Mountain, he specifically instructed: "General, Dong Zhuo has a rebellious heart and is a former official of the Yuan family. If there is a chance, kill him if you can, or detain him if you can't!"

I just don’t know what the situation is?
Xu Jing sighed in his heart, wondering what Wu Ban was like.
bang
Another thunderclap

Xu Jing's thoughts were drawn away. He looked outside the door and saw rain hitting the eaves. It turned out to be raining.

It was as if the gods were pouring down a whole year's accumulated rain from the sky. Outside the door, everything was white and no trace could be seen a few dozen steps away.

Suddenly, a vague figure appeared in the rain. As the figure got closer, Xu Jing finally recognized it.

It was the great general He Jin.

The rain washed away all the sticky blood on He Jin's body. When he walked into the palace, there was no trace of blood on his body. He looked like a drowned chicken.

"Wen Xiu, thank you for your hard work."

He Jin looked very tired, but he did not forget to comfort Xu Jing.

"It's not hard, General. Are you okay?"

"No problem, I'm just dealing with some idiots who cheated me." He Jin patted Xu Jing's shoulder, "Wen Xiu, you didn't cheat me, did you?"

Xu Jing opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment. He just felt his scalp tingling.

Fortunately, the next moment, He Jin laughed and answered his own question.

"Wen Xiu, how could you lie to me?"

Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "General, where is Dong Zhongying?"

"Dong Zhongying? Wen Xiu, you worry too much. In my opinion, Dong Zhongying is far less frightening than the Yuan family. Dong Zhongying even sided with me unconditionally."

"General, please think twice. As a former official of the Yuan family, I'm afraid he might be harboring evil intentions!"

Although He Jin was not a person who listened to advice, Xu Jing's opinion was enough for him to take seriously and even change his mind. After a little thought, he made a decision.
"Wen Xiu's words make sense. Let's find an opportunity to confer the title of General of the Southern Expedition to Dong Zhuo. If he wants to be conferred the title, he must come to the front hall of the Yuntai. Once he comes to the palace, he has no say. What do you think of Wen Xiu?"

Xu Jing thought about it and didn't find anything wrong. He nodded and said, "That's fine."

"There is one more thing. I hope Wen Xiu can help me." He Jin said with a smile.

Xu Jing nodded, "General, please speak."

"When someone is demoted, someone will naturally be promoted. Wen Xiu is well-known throughout the world. He is able to identify talents at a young age. The local government hopes that Wen Xiu can help me select trustworthy and capable people."

"It is my honor. By chance, I know a person who is a rare talent."

He Jin became interested, "Who is this person?"

"Xuzhou, Dongyang Mayor, Chen Yuanlong." Xu Jing said without blushing or panting.

"Do you know what happened in the palace a few days ago?"

"It's just that the eunuch was executed, that's a good thing!"

"What good news? Don't you see that something is wrong with the scholars on the street? Even their arrogance has decreased a lot."

"Oh? Brother, please tell me more."

The common people who originally came to the teahouses and taverns to listen to stories began to talk about the great changes in the palace with great relish.

A man lowered his voice and said, "The adopted son of one of my uncle's neighbors is working in the court. For some reason, the general confronted the Grand Tutor. The two fought to the death. I heard that just yesterday, the general directly surrounded the Grand Tutor's mansion."

"Hey, what's that?" Another person waved his hands. "That's nothing. I heard that the former governor of Hedong County is going to be promoted to General Zhengnan!"

"General Zhengnan? Haven't you heard about his appointment?"

"Alas, who told the governor of Hedong County to catch a cold?"

 That's all the updates for today. I hope you guys will forgive me.
