The Nameless of the Common Clans

Yuan Zheng obviously did not expect that the Yulin Army was hiding in the palace. When Wang Biao and his men suddenly came out, Yuan Zheng was a little confused, but the reality did not give him much time to be stunned. As soon as the Yulin Army appeared, they Immediately kill Cao Jun who is attacking the city.

Cao Jun, who had just suffered a defeat, obviously did not expect that their enemy would come out from behind and was immediately confused. Yuan Zheng obviously did not make a defense against his back.

The battle did not last long. After losing the palace gate, the remaining hundreds of Cao troops were a little weak in the face of the Yulin army's attack. Soon, Wang Biao had already attacked the city and captured Yuan Zheng alive.

"Sir, General Gao." The palace door was slowly opened. Wang Biao led people to escort Yuan Zheng to meet Li Ru and Gao Shun. He smiled and said: "All the remnants of Cao's army have been killed. This is the leader of the thieves, Yuan Zheng. Captured by the general."

"Thank you for your hard work, General Wang." Li Ru smiled and nodded. Although General Yu Linzhonglang was not a high-ranking official in Luoyang, he was a soldier guarding the palace. His importance is self-evident. What's more, Wang Biao is Chen Mo's Confidant, Li Ru will naturally not neglect.

"As for this person..." Li Ru glanced at Yuan Zheng, who looked depressed, shook his head and said, "He is no longer useful, so kill him."

The rebellion was coming to an end at this time. If Yuan Zheng, one of the few generals in the hands of Zhao Shen and others, was placed with Chen Mo, not even a captain would be considered capable enough, so Zhao Shen and others would have no one to use. , will use him.

"Here!" Wang Biao nodded and signaled his soldiers to drag Yuan Zheng down and chop him down.

Yuan Zheng's face turned pale and he quickly begged for mercy: "Shang Shuling, the last general is willing to surrender!"

"Not everyone is qualified to surrender." Li Ru turned his head, glanced at Yuan Zheng, and gave him a pitying look: "If you do something wrong, you will have to bear the consequences."

Originally, as long as these people did not have these inappropriate thoughts, neither Chen Mo nor Li Ru would kill them all, and the idle people raised by the imperial court would not be short of this one. Although the official administration would appear bloated, it does not necessarily need to be used. This extreme method is to find a way to slowly kick these useless people out of the court and live their own lives, but they have to do the opposite, and at this time.

If Chen Mo and Jia Xu had not been prepared and noticed the clues in advance, the harm caused by Zhao Shen and others' uprising to Chen Mo would be immeasurable, and it might even lead to Chen Mo losing the battle. What would be the outcome... No one knows. We know that although political struggles are invisible, in terms of ruthlessness, they may be a hundred times more ruthless than a real battlefield.

This time, the scholar group led by Zhao Shen and others have reached Chen Mo's bottom line. Surrendering on the battlefield is generally not difficult, but in a coup, the surrender of these leaders is not accepted, just like if Chen Mo loses , they will not accept surrender either.

"Spare your life, spare your life~" Yuan Zheng was dragged away, his horrified roar echoing in the silent palace, but no one responded.

Wang Biao looked at Li Ru and said, "Sir, there are still remnants of the rebels hiding in Deyang Palace. Do you want to attack?"

Li Ru nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll go take a look."

In the palace, the fighting here had been reported by Xiaohuangmen. After learning that Li Ru and others had entered the palace, Liu Neng panicked, broke away from the two soldiers driving him, and looked at the pale-faced Zhao. Shen and Liu Zhen: "So what now? I shouldn't have mistrusted you. The great situation has fallen to this. Where are the loyal and righteous people you mentioned?"

Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen looked ashen, the palace city was their last refuge, but they didn't expect it to be destroyed so quickly.

"Crash~" The sound of the collision of armor leaves sounded. The Yulin Army, led by Wang Biao, had arrived outside the Deyang Palace. Wang Biao glanced at the private soldiers of the aristocratic families who were confronting them, and said coldly: "The rebellion has been suppressed and Cao's army has been destroyed. How can you still resist at this time!?"

A group of private soldiers from aristocratic families hesitated after hearing this. At this point in the war, there was actually no need to fight anymore, but would they have a way to survive without fighting?

Li Ru looked at this scene and smiled and said: "In this battle, you have all been deceived by traitors. The general has sent back an order. God has the virtue of good life. Luoyang is the imperial capital of our dynasty. It is not appropriate to kill too much. Those who died last night There are enough people, what’s left is Yes, only the first culprit will be killed. The rest of the followers can be free as long as they put down their weapons and join the army for three years. However, those who resist stubbornly will be prosecuted after the war. Not only will they inevitably be blamed for their crimes, but they will also harm their wives and children. All officers and men But think about it.”

These private soldiers were defeated by the city guards, defeated by Chen Zheng, and were beaten like dogs all night. Who is willing to fight again at this time? The military morale is unstable and morale is low. Now that Li Ru said this, many people Put down your weapons immediately and choose to surrender.

"General Gao!" Li Ru turned his head and looked at Gao Shun.

"The general is here!" Gao Shun saluted.

"Please ask the general to collect these surrendered soldiers here, and General Wang and I will enter the palace to meet the emperor." Li Ru said with a smile.

Although they are both Chen Mo's core generals, Gao Shun is an upright man and some things are not suitable for him to do. Wang Biao is different. He is from the market and is Chen Mo's township party. He does many things without too many scruples. .

"Here!" Gao Shun nodded. Although he didn't know what Li Ru was going to do, it would never be a good thing. It was a good thing for Gao Shun not to participate. He immediately agreed and started to collect these private people. soldiers.

Li Ru strode into the Deyang Palace with Wang Biao and a dozen of his guards. The private soldiers around him voluntarily moved out of the way and watched as Li Ru led his men and horses into the Deyang Palace.

Liu Neng naturally heard what was going on in and outside the Deyang Palace. At this time, he did not want to continue to follow Zhao Shen and the others to the dark side. The puppet emperor is still the emperor, whether he loses his life or someone else becomes the emperor. He was unwilling to accept it, so he turned around and prepared to hide in the back hall, wait until the matter was over, and then come out, saying that he was being held hostage.

Seeing this, Zhao Shen suddenly took action and grabbed Liu Neng.

"Bold! What do you want to do!?" Liu Neng said in a panic.

"Your Majesty, only in this way can Your Majesty be able to distance himself from this matter and avoid being persecuted by the thieves and offended." Zhao Shen placed the sword across Liu Neng's throat and whispered.

"Then take the sword away, don't hurt me." Liu Neng breathed a sigh of relief, and his brain recovered his ability to think. He probably understood Zhao Shen's intention, but feeling the cold air on his neck, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Trembling.

These words are somewhat hurtful. After all, regardless of whether he has selfish motives or not, Zhao Shen was still thinking of Liu Neng at the last moment, but Liu Neng didn't even say a word at the moment, which was somewhat chilling. It's no wonder he couldn't beat Chen Mo. Look Look at how Chen Mo treats his subordinates.

"Zhongcheng, what do you mean?" Li Ru looked at Zhao Shen and asked with a smile.

"Let us leave Luoyang, and of course your Majesty will be safe. Otherwise... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the crime of regicide!" Zhao Shen looked at Li Ru coldly and shouted angrily.

No matter who killed Liu Neng, if he died in Luoyang, even if Chen Mo was hundreds of miles away now, he would still be involved. Just like when Liu Xie died, no matter what the process was, Liu Xie died in Suiyang. Yes, this pot, no matter what Cao Cao said later, in the eyes of most people, the regicide is Cao Cao. Since ancient times, the Han Dynasty, or China, has valued righteousness the most. If he carries the name of regicide, even if Chen Mo finally wins the world , but there will also be a thorn buried in people's hearts.

This thorn may not have any impact at the moment, but in the long run, this alone will give all future careerists a reason to rebel against Chen Mo, and it will also gain support from many people.

Zhao Shen's guess was good. Li Ru didn't dare to take this charge, but you couldn't tell it on his face. He still looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands. He glanced at Liu Neng casually and said with a smile: "Zhong Cheng is also a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time. How could you be so naive? Since the death of the late emperor, there has been no real emperor in the world. If the Lord says this person is, then he is the emperor. But if one day, your majesty unfortunately dies, you can naturally establish a new emperor, your majesty. During these New Year's Eve celebrations, your Majesty may not even be able to count how many heirs the palace concubines have left. How do you feel that we will care about his life and death later?"

"Traitor, how dare you say that you have no king and no father!?" Liu Zhen was furious when he heard this, pointed at Li Ru and cursed.

Li Ru raised his hand and said: "Ready the bow and arrow!"

More than a dozen personal guards quickly stepped forward, raising their crossbows.

"Zhao Shen, let me go! Do you really want to see me die!?" Liu Neng's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees, while he shouted harshly.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. This is Li Ru deceiving us~" Zhao Shen was very anxious when he saw this, and he was almost sure that Li Ru was deceiving him. He had been in office for many years, and he might not be able to lead troops in war, but when it came to this intrigue, Looking at the court, not a single one of the hundreds of officials is a light bulb. But at this moment, Liu Neng began to struggle hard and could only persuade in a low voice.

"Fart!" Liu Neng was born in the market. When his life was in danger, how could he be willing to risk whether the other party was defrauding him? If not, his life would be at stake. He immediately yelled: "Do you really want to Are you using me to make the general known as regicide? Zhao Shen, you have such evil intentions!"

Li Ru did not order the arrow to be fired, but just watched this scene with interest.

Zhao Shen looked at Li Ru's expression, then at Liu Neng, and finally sighed helplessly, took away the sword and let Liu Neng leave.

Liu Neng crawled up to Li Ru's feet and said to Li Ru: "Shang Shuling, this matter has nothing to do with me. It is these traitors who have intimidated me!"

The most uncomfortable thing in the world may be that the person you try your best to protect turns around and insults you. Zhao Shen laughed, looked at Li Ru, and said coldly: "You win!"

After saying that, he swiped the sword across his neck.

Liu Zhen looked at Zhao Shen, who was lying in a pool of blood, and then at Li Ru. He hesitated and threw away the sword. He was from the clan, so he shouldn't...

"Fire the arrow!" Li Ru waved his hand, and a row of guards behind him quickly shot sharp arrows at Liu Zhen.

"Kill... well done!" Liu Neng's eyes trembled, then he clapped his hands and said, "These traitors."

"Your Majesty." Li Ru turned around, saluted Liu Neng, and said with a smile: "Deyang Palace has been infected with the spirit of swordsmanship and is temporarily unfit for residence. Please move away, Your Majesty."

"Where to go?"

"You'll find out when you get there."
