The Nameless of the Common Clans

"My dear, what is this?" Liu Neng frowned as he looked at the silk that Guo You took out. On it were names written in blood, which had turned dark red.

"Your Majesty, this is written by loyal and righteous people from all walks of life. It represents the hope that Your Majesty will regain control of the government, drive out the treacherous, and return the bright and clear world of the Han Dynasty. Please seal it with the jade seal!" Guo You bowed and said, "Only in this way can these loyal and righteous people feel at ease to serve Your Majesty!"

Liu Neng is not an idiot. He knows very well that if this seal is affixed, if the matter fails, then when Chen Mo returns to the court to settle accounts, these problems will be counted on his head.

"This..." Liu Neng hesitated for a moment, looked at Guo You seriously and said, "Must it be changed?"

"If not, how can those loyal and righteous people who are willing to throw their lives for Your Majesty feel at ease?" Guo You said in a deep voice.

This statement contradicts the truth. Since they are loyal and righteous, they should just do it directly. Why should they care about these things? However, Liu Neng also knows that these so-called loyal and righteous people also have their own selfishness. If he does not stamp this seal, it is hard to say what will happen tonight.

"You are the father-in-law of the country. Tell me the truth. What is the chance of winning tonight?" Liu Neng looked at Guo You and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Now we have gathered 5,000 elite soldiers in the city alone. In addition, Yang Ding's troops outside the city have also arrived. As long as there is an additional west gate here, we can enter the city immediately. Cao's army is also about to arrive. The three armies together are twice as many as the garrison in Luoyang. The minions under the command of Chen the thief are now being restrained on the front line. In this battle, our army will win!" Guo You immediately patted his chest and guaranteed.

Liu Neng nodded when he heard this. He did not understand the art of war. It was just twice the number of troops and it was unexpected. There should be no problem. He immediately picked up the private seal on the table and stamped it.

Although the imperial seal was returned to the court by Chen Mo, it was in the Nangong Palace and guarded by a special eunuch. Liu Neng could not touch it except when he was in court, so he could only use his own private seal.

But this was enough for Guo You and others.

"What should we do next?" Liu Neng looked at Guo You and said.

"I have brought my elite troops. Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict to order the generals under the command of Gongche Sima to be transferred to my command and take over the defense of Beigong." Guo You bowed and said.

"Okay!" Liu Neng nodded. There were not many people he could trust now. Guo You was his father-in-law. Who else could he trust at this time?

He immediately issued an imperial edict to Guo You. After Guo You received the imperial edict, he immediately led his men to Sima Gate.

But when Guo You arrived at Sima Gate, he was ready to find a reason to kill Gongche Sima and take over his soldiers, but he found that the entire Sima Gate was empty. Where was there a single person?

"Where are the people?" Guo You pulled the soldiers who were responsible for monitoring Gongche Sima here and shouted.

"General, after the general led his men into the palace, Gongche Sima left with his men and disappeared!" the soldier said hurriedly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Guo You's heart sank, and he vaguely sensed something wrong, and said sternly: "Quick, guard the gates of each city!"

But before his order was passed down, countless torches suddenly lit up in the palaces on both sides, and teams of soldiers quickly rushed out of the palaces, marching in neat steps to surround Guo You's men at the palace gate, staring at them covetously.

"Who are you waiting for!?" Guo You was shocked and shouted sternly.

"General of the Imperial Guards, Wang Biao is here!" A man rode out from the queue and looked at Guo You coldly, saying, "Guo You, as the General of the Imperial Guards, how dare you lead your troops to attack the palace?"

"I am entering the palace by order of His Majesty!" Guo You drew his sword and looked a little ugly.

"Bring troops into the palace?" Wang Biao's expression suddenly became fierce, and he shouted, "It's obvious that you are plotting something bad, traitor, why don't you dismount and surrender!"

"I have the emperor's order!" Guo You said angrily, "Why did you lead your troops into the palace? It's obvious that you are plotting something bad!"

"The emperor's order?" Wang Biao looked at him for a few times and sneered, "I think it's a forged order."

After that, Wang Biao no longer paid attention to Guo You, but looked at the people under the command of the General of the Imperial Guards, and said coldly, "Are you going to rebel too!?"

This General of the Imperial Guards, like the General of the Imperial Guards, was under the command of Guanglu Xun, so it was reasonable that there was no distinction between the superior and the inferior.

But Wang Biao is Chen Mo's confidant. In Luoyang City, no matter which general's troops, they are all trained by Chen Mo's men. In their hearts, they almost all regard themselves as soldiers under Chen Mo.

At this moment, Wang Biao's appearance immediately shook the morale of the troops under the Five Officials.

"Today, only the chief culprit will be executed, and the rest will not be investigated. Why don't you retreat quickly? Do you want to die with him?!" Wang Biao shouted sternly.

Just one sentence made most of the troops under the Five Officials completely give up the idea of ​​fighting and began to retreat silently. This is Chen Mo's control over the Luoyang army. No matter which general's troops, the first one to obey is still Chen Mo's order. Even if Chen Mo is not there, the words of Chen Mo's confidants like Wang Biao are more deterrent than the words of their direct superiors. In other words, as long as it is Chen Mo's army, it is like this.

Seeing this, Guo You gritted his teeth, knowing that if he waited any longer, he didn't know how many of his subordinates would rebel. He pointed his sword at Wang Biao and shouted: "Rebel, stop deceiving the people, I will kill him!"

The night wind whistled past, and what embarrassed Guo You was that no one responded to his order.

"You think you can command the lord's army?" Wang Biao sneered: "I will take him down!"

At that moment, many people from the General of the Five Officials, who were just under Guo You's command, began to approach Guo You, making him roar in anger and slashing with his sword. However, he was not a real general after all, and his martial arts were mediocre, even worse than a soldier. He was dragged off the horse by his own soldiers. Although he had a few confidants, they did not dare to move at this time. They watched him being dragged away, and their confidants were also silent.

"I am the father-in-law of the country!" Looking at Wang Biao who dismounted and walked towards him, Guo You gritted his teeth and said, "How dare the traitor..."

"Clang~" Wang Biao was too lazy to even say anything, and drew his sword and slashed his throat. With blood splattering, Guo You fell to the ground with unwilling eyes.

Wang Biao leaned over, took out a piece of brocade from him, opened it and took a look, put it in his arms, and then began to recruit the General of the Five Officials and rearranged the defense of the palace.

"General, the city is in chaos." A general looked at the fires that occasionally ignited in Luoyang City and turned his head to look at Wang Biao.

"Don't pay attention to it. We just need to guard the palace tonight." Wang Biao looked at the direction of the fire and shook his head.

...

In the night, on Shangximen Street, Zhao Shen led his troops straight to Shangximen. According to the agreement with Yang Ding, he would open Shangximen tonight and let Yang Ding lead his troops into the city.

Don't care what the soldiers think. After all, Chen Mo is not in Luoyang. These soldiers don't know what they are doing. They entered Luoyang and received the order to seize the city. Even if they are all loyal to Chen Mo, it's useless. They don't know who they are fighting for. The morale of the army has always been controllable. As long as they occupy Luoyang and keep Chen Mo outside the pass, no matter how powerful Chen Mo is, what does it matter?

As long as Luoyang is captured tonight, new soldiers will be recruited again to completely eliminate Chen Mo's influence in this city. These troops will also be disbanded to prevent them from causing chaos.

Zhao Shen has already thought of all the countermeasures.

In the night, although there are soldiers guarding the Upper West Gate, they seem to be unaware of their existence. The chaotic noise and fighting sounds can be heard outside the city. Perhaps the soldiers on the top of the city have no time to take care of the situation in the city at this moment. At this time, it is just right to attack him by surprise.

"Quick, go up and open the city gate!" Zhao Shen commanded. His soldiers were different from those under Guo You. The soldiers led by Zhao Shen were all private soldiers from various families in Luoyang City. Naturally, they would not have any feelings for Chen Mo.

"Crack~"

Before Zhao Shen's men went up to open the door, they saw that the Upper West Gate suddenly opened by itself. In the noisy night, the gradually opened city gate was like a wild beast opening its huge mouth to them, as if to swallow everything.

Zhao Shen frowned, but was not happy about it, because the scene in front of him was not in his plan, and he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"Line up!" Without thinking too much, Zhao Shen hurriedly asked people to line up, and at the same time looked at the soldiers outside the city gate who began to rush into the city, and then looked at the top of the city, there was no movement, this was very abnormal!

"Kill~" The soldiers outside the city had begun to pour in, Zhao Shen did not move, but asked his subordinates to prepare, and shouted at the same time: "But General Yang Ding!?"

"Hahaha~" Outside the city gate, there was a loud and loud voice: "Yang Ding has been captured, I am Guo Yu, a traitor, and I will not die!"

Zhao Shen's face turned pale when he heard this. Yang Ding was their biggest reliance at the moment. Who would have thought that Guo Yu would quietly seize the military power and kill here.

"Kill, drive them out of the city gate, close the city gate again, Zhou Fang, take people to the city and seize the city wall!" Zhao Shen reacted quickly. Since they were already enemies, they had to drive them out first.

"Kill~"

For a while, shouts of killing were heard everywhere under the Upper West Gate. They were originally here to welcome the troops outside the city into the city, but now they had to drive the other side out of the city.

"Rebels, don't wait to die!" On the city wall, rows of torches suddenly lit up, and a famous soldier appeared on the top of the city wall at some point, holding a strong bow and firing at the private soldiers under the city.

In an instant, screams rang out. On the other side, the Hedong Army led by Guo Yu had already fought with these private soldiers. Most of the Hedong Army were new recruits who had not yet experienced the baptism of the battlefield, but these private soldiers of the aristocratic families were even more of a mob. They were put together temporarily and might not even have a consistent command. How could they resist? Soon the army was defeated by the fierce attack of the Hedong Army. Zhao Shen knew that it was impossible to retake the city gate, so he had to lead the remaining troops to flee back into the city.
