Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C363

“If Lord General returns to the West Cold, it would be meaningless to the Yuan clan. But if Lord General stayed in the Luoyang, he would have the reputation of being the bodyguard of the Duke. Even if the Yuan clan does not like the Lord General, for their own benefits, they will still cherish the Lord General. ”

After hearing what Li Ru had to say, Dong Zhuo couldn’t help but nod his head. In the imperial court, people fought openly and secretly, but there were also people who used each other. As long as Yang Lin was around, the Yuan clan wouldn’t do anything to his. He gritted his teeth and made his final decision, “Fine, we will stay in Luoyang.”

As the Grand General Ho Jin had allocated Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and their two thousand Zhanzhou cavalry s to him, Zhang Ben and the half immortal was unable to contain her joy. The moment the camp was set up, the Zhang Banxian invited the Grand General Ho Jin s to the barracks to drink. However, before the wine was finished, someone from the Great General’s Estate reported to him that the empress dowager had recalled the eunuchs back to the palace and the Great General had rushed back to the Luoyang City.

After Zhang Banxian and the others sent Great General away, the few of them returned to continue drinking. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and their subordinate generals had just been transferred to Yang Lin, so the Zhang Banxian was extremely friendly towards them. She also toasted with Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Fei Hong and Liang Ming, revealing that the hussar general had personally asked for them, causing Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to be extremely moved.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were modest people, kept a low profile and did not speak much, which made Zhang Banxian very satisfied. Furthermore, Gao Shun did not touch any alcohol, and his innocence and majesty made the Zhang Banxian think even more highly of him. And the generals under their command were similar to their generals; they were brave and humble.

After the feast, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun personally led Generals to inspect the living quarters. Before they walked too far, they suddenly saw a fire raging in Luoyang City. The Zhang Banxian who was already familiar with the Luoyang immediately determined that the palace was on fire, and immediately sent people to investigate the North Gate.

However, the scouting soldiers quickly came back to report, saying that the Luoyang City door was already closed, and that no one was allowed to enter or leave the Luoyang. The Zhang Banxian was shocked. She sensed that something big had happened to the Luoyang and associated it with the Great General entering the city. It was probably because the Great General and the Eunuch had a conflict.

After anxiously waiting for an hour, she suddenly received a message from Wu Feng. According to He Jin’s mediation, Zhang Banxian had already agreed to give Wu Feng the inn in Luoyang to him. Because they were going to set up camp this afternoon, and the tavern in the city had not been handed over, Wu Feng was still in the tavern.

In Wu Feng’s letter, he told the Zhang Banxian that the Grand General Ho Jin had been killed by the Eunuch. The brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had set fire to the entrance of the palace. As long as Zhang Tie allowed a few other eunuchs to abduct the Son of Heaven and the King Chen Liu and hold the North Palace prisoner.

After Zhang Banxian finished reading Wu Feng’s letter, she was extremely shocked in his heart. hussar general had mentioned several times that the world was going to fall into chaos. After he read Wu Feng’s letter several times, he couldn’t help but be secretly happy in his heart. She immediately smiled and wrote a letter to Yang Lin, then sent Soaring Eagle to send him off.

After a night of rain and blood, the Luoyang City had gradually quietened down. Nangong from the palace gradually returned to normal after being cleaned up by thousands of soldiers. Other than the palace gates that had been burnt to ashes and the knights who were patrolling everywhere, there was not a trace of chaos or bloodshed in the entire Luoyang City. The streets were deserted and devoid of any traces of human life. The bustle of the past was gone.

Shang Shu Zhi had not slept for the entire night as he guarded alone at the entrance of North Palace, preventing Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu from entering. The bloody massacre of the Yuan brothers made Lu Zhi wary of them. What he was more worried about was that after the death of his wife and eunuchs, the imperial court would fall into the hands of powerful officials.

When dawn broke, his servant brought him breakfast. Lu Zhi hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls, then entered the North Palace’s De Yang Palace to meet the Son of Heaven, and discussed with Chinese traditional medicine, Xiao Huang Sect’s Zhang Ci, Zhao Zhong, Song Dian, Li Yu, Li Yu and the others on a solution.

“Now that the Grand General Ho Jin is dead, and the rider General He Miao is dead, everyone, think about your own way out? If you send the Son of Heaven back to the Changqiu Palace now, it can be said that you have done a great service to protect your Imperial Highness, so that your head will not be separated from your body. If you persist in your ignorance and continue to kidnap the Son of Heaven, it will not only be you who will die, but also your entire clan! ”

“What?” You guys killed He Miao? ” Upon hearing that He Miao had died, Zhang Can immediately gave up all hope, and the last bit of hope for survival was completely shattered. He stared at Lu Zhi angrily and said: “Do you think you can get the upper hand like this? Will the empress dowager let you off? ”

“What a bunch of idiots! Since Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu dares to kill He Miao, they will not care about the empress dowager. ” Lu Zhi pointed at Zhang Jean and berated loudly: “You reckless fool, do you think that just because you kidnapped the Son of Heaven, you can protect your own life? They all wish for the Son of Heaven to die by your hands. There are countless Han Dynasty in the world with the surname Liu, why would they worry about not having an Emperor? ”

Lu Zhi was right, the Son of Heaven was truly sacred. Those who were as bold as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would definitely obey the Son of Heaven, and would definitely not let the Son of Heaven die by his hands. If Zhang had killed the Son of Heaven, then they could have made another Son of Heaven.

Now that the outsiders were dead and the eunuchs were all killed, the empress dowager and the Son of Heaven had lost their final backing. This pair of orphans and widows could only be slaughtered at will by the Master Tutor and a bunch of Scholars ministers in the court. As for their bunch of desperate eunuchs, they had no other choice but to die. And as long as the Son of Heaven was still in their hands, these warriors wouldn’t dare to do anything to them. None of them dared to bear the burden of the crime of regicide.

“The Son of Heaven is fine with us, there’s no need for you to worry.” Zhang Lie looked at Lu Zhi with hostility, and said coldly: “Don’t be too arrogant, hussar general’s army is outside of North Gate, will he tolerate the Yuan uncle and nephew taking over the imperial government alone?”

Lu Zhi and Eunuch looked at each other angrily, the atmosphere in the hall immediately becoming extremely tense. Duan Gui suddenly took out his longsword, pointed at Lu Zhi and said angrily: “Quickly, open the city gates, let hussar general enter the city, and let hussar general’s army protect the palace.”

Lu Zhi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left.

“He Miao has more than a thousand servants and henchmen under her command, how can we let them kill him so easily?” Song Dian looked at Lu Zhi’s retreating back, and said regretfully: “If I knew He Miao was such a scum, I should have called the hussar general into the city yesterday.”

“I thought I could control the situation. Who would have thought that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, these two traitorous thieves, would dare to burn the palace doors?” Zhang Fu waved his hands, turned his head and looked towards the north, and said helplessly: “It’s too late to regret now, looks like only Yang Lin can beg us now.”

“Even though the hussar general is just outside the city, but are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two bastards able enough to let his army enter the city?” Song Dian looked at Zhang Jean in confusion, and shook his head in disbelief: “They must have already closed the city gates, and Luoyang City is so sturdy, that even if he wanted to, he cannot break through.”

“Yang Lin is a fool, he would never attack the city.” “Tonight, we will bring the Son of Heaven out of the city. After we reach Yang Lin’s camp, we will have Yang Lin escort the Son of Heaven back to the palace. Yuan Zhong and those other gangsters will die.”

“What?” Zhang Lie wants to let the hussar general’s army enter the city to protect the Son of Heaven? ” Yuan Yuan couldn’t help but sneer when he heard the conditions Lu Zhi had to bring back. Looks like these adulterous castration s really thought that Yang Lin’s great army was still having beautiful dreams even after reaching the North Gate. ” Don’t bother about him, Yang Lin’s army is still far away. ”

“Ah …” Master Tutor, you aren’t mistaken, right? Grand General Ho Jin welcomed the previous hussar general outside the North Gate yesterday afternoon, and even set up a camp for them. ” Lu Zhi currently did not have any military power, nor did he care about military matters.

“Hehe …” That was only the Grand General Ho Jin’s trick. He gave Ding Yuan’s Zhanzhou cavalry a total of two thousand to Yang Lin, and used the hussar general’s banner to scare people. ” Yuan Yuan smiled, and said complacently: “I never thought that He Jin did not lie to us, but to Eunuch.”

“So that’s how it is!” Lu Zhi nodded, but he had a plan in his heart. He took this opportunity to warn Yuan Yuan Yuan, “Although they are just Ding Yuan’s cavalry, but since they have already hit the hussar general’s banner, we should not underestimate them. If he angers Yang Lin, then he will really lead an army here, and the world will truly be thrown into chaos. ”

“Of course we won’t anger Yang Lin, and there’s no need to anger Yang Lin either.” Yuan Yuan stopped smiling, and said seriously: “The Great General was killed by the eunuchs, and the Son of Heaven was also kidnapped by the eunuchs, we are just here to maintain the stability of the Luoyang. As long as we respect the Son of Heaven, he has no reason to be our enemy. ”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Lu Zhi said again and again, but he was slightly relieved. It seemed that as long as the hussar general was present, the Yuan uncle and nephew did not dare to have any second thoughts. Therefore, it was impossible for an influential official to appear in the Imperial Court.

However, Lu Zhi’s words had also reminded Yuan Zhong that since he did not have an army, he had to do things on the face of others. When Lu Zhi left, he immediately called Yuan Shao over and ordered in a stern voice: “Leave North Palace’s matters for now, you can immediately go and take over the northern troop and West Garden Army.”

“But without an imperial edict, the northern army and the West Garden Army’s generals will not obey.” Yuan Shao looked troubled, and said helplessly. Although he had saved the empress dowager, the emperor’s Imperial Jade Seal was with the Eunuch.

“Send out the fast horses and mobilize all the troops. Let them rush to the level of optimism and surround the northern troop. Those who disobey will be beheaded. We must control the northern troop.” Yuan Yuan was quite decisive and instructed carefully, “As for the West Garden Army, we have already grasped a few battalions, we can let them participate in the operation together.”

“Alright, I’ll do it right away.” Yuan Shao nodded and turned to leave.

After it was dark, Zhang Qian led Young Emperor Liu Bian over, while Duan Gui carried King Chen Liu on his back and led more than thirty trusted eunuchs towards the back gate of the North Palace. Seeing that the eunuchs had Tian Zi in their hands, no one dared to stop them. They could only watch Zhang Gong and her men run towards the North Gate.

Lu Zhi held onto his spear, and brought along his servant to follow behind Zhang Can and the rest. When they were almost to the North Gate, Min Gong, who was in the middle of Henan Province with Wang Yun, brought over ten soldiers over. Although Lu Zhi didn’t know who Min Gong was, he still ordered majestically: “Quickly bring your soldiers and follow me to protect the carriage.”

Min Gong had originally been under the command of Henan Yin Wang Yun, and was leading his soldiers to patrol the city to maintain security. However, when he heard he had to protect the emperor, his face immediately lit up. For a nobody like him, this was a golden opportunity.
