I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 174 The Big One Is Really Coming
After the details of the mutiny were almost discussed, Yuan Shu heard his father and Yuan Wei discussing how to arrange for the Yuan family members, and the first person he thought of was Yuan Shao, who had become a palace attendant.

So he asked Yuan Feng questions.

"Father, my brother is already in Luoyang. Should we talk to him about this matter? Should we let him participate as well?"

Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, then frowned, thought about it, and shook his head.

"Benchu has never been involved in this matter from the beginning. He knows nothing. If I tell him this now, I'm worried that he won't be able to accept it. Besides, he is the only heir of your uncle's lineage.

If something unexpected happens, will your uncle's branch encounter some twists and turns? He should not get involved. Ci Yang, remember to protect Ben Chu."

Yuan Wei nodded.

"I understand. Leave it to me."

Seeing that Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei had made plans, Yuan Shu did not refute.

He quickly returned to Liangzhuang, Luoyang, and first sent someone to Nanpi County to pass on the message, asking Lian Da to secretly escort the King of Bohai and his family to Luoyang immediately without any delay.

Then, he summoned Cheng Li, Jia Xu, Lu Zhi and the Thirteen Guardians to let the core leadership know about this matter first so that they could be mentally prepared.

Attention, this is not a drill!
This is not a drill!
The eunuchs were ready to take action against Liu Kui, and it seemed that Liu Kui had to die this time.

What's accumulated in the old wall lamp's intestines is not fart!

The big one is really coming!

After receiving Yuan Shu's notification, everyone became excited after a brief surprise.

It was all drills before, but now it’s real, there’s going to be a fight, there’s going to be blood, it’s going to be a big thing!

After the core leadership learned about this, a command team of more than 300 people gathered together under the call of Yuan Shu.

Facing them, Yuan Shu once again gave an inspiring speech.

"Although the emperor is young, he has no moral integrity. He blindly trusts and indulges eunuchs, persecutes the good, kills the innocent, and harms the world. There is grief everywhere. The Han Dynasty is in danger. In order to save the Han Dynasty, we have no choice but to take up our swords, march forward, punish the treacherous, and punish the unjust. We will honor the King of Bohai as the emperor, continue the Han Dynasty, and restore order!"

Yuan Shu shouted out the core guiding ideology of this action.

Punish the treacherous and the unjust, resume the Han dynasty, and restore order.

They want to depose the false emperor who is unworthy of being the emperor of the Han Dynasty, push the right and true emperor to the throne, kill all the treacherous and corrupt officials, and bring innocence back to the world.

Under Yuan Shu's encouragement, the entire command team became excited, even excited.

They have been waiting for this day, looking forward to the day when they can repay Yuan Shu's kindness with their lives. They are not confused or afraid about this.

They knew what they were going to do, why they were doing it, and they also knew that Yuan Shu would stand with them, charge into battle together, and fight together until the last moment.

They either all die or they win a great victory, there is no third possibility.

From this day on, Yuan Shu began to lead the command team to carry out tactical planning.

It’s still the same truth. Although plans cannot keep up with changes, without plans, nothing can be accomplished.

Yuan Shu took out the floor plan of Luoyang City that he had asked Cheng Li and Jia Xu to jointly survey these days. Not only were the city gates, streets, buildings, and waterways marked on it, but even the imperial palace was clearly marked out, and the gates of the palace were also clearly marked on it.

What is even more valuable is that the places where troops are stationed, the important strategic locations, the number of troops and the rotation shifts are all clearly marked. The garrison, rotation, number of troops, etc. of the entire Luoyang army are all clearly visible on this map.

People who understand military affairs are amazed by this.

For example, Lu Zhi was very impressed.

"With a map like this, we already have a 60% chance of winning this battle."

"Only 60%?"

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Brother, it's more than 60%. In my opinion, we have an 80% chance of winning."

"This... if we take into account the power of the Yuan family, it is indeed possible that it is more than 80%."

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up as he stroked the map: "If the eunuchs are unaware of this, this operation could have a 90% chance of success. The remaining chance is up to fate." "Man proposes, God disposes, but man must take action after all."

Yuan Shu pointed at Cheng Li and Jia Xu and said with a smile: "The first credit for this operation should go to Zhongde and Wenhe. The map outside the palace was mainly surveyed by Zhongde, and everything inside the palace was the responsibility of Wenhe. The two of them worked together to complete this map. We should all thank them first."

Cheng Li and Jia Xu immediately straightened their backs. It felt so good to be praised by Yuan Shu in front of so many people.

And they really deserve the first credit.

With this important information, the military leaders headed by Lu Zhi had sufficient conditions to deploy tactics.

On this basis, Yuan Shu took out all the important assistance that the Yuan family could provide and marked them one by one.

"Although the city gate captain Lu Yu is not one of our men, among the gatekeepers under his command, Kaiyang Gate Marquis and Gu Gate Marquis are former officials of the Yuan family and are reliable. In addition to the two of them, Shangxi Gate Marquis and Yong Gate Marquis are good friends of these two and can be trusted. These are the four of them.

In addition, there are the Marquises of Xuanping Gate. They have been getting along very well with Yuan Situ during this period and have expressed their intention to join us. In other words, five of the Marquises of the Twelve Gates are already our own people. When we start the rebellion, we can make an agreement with them to open the city gates and let us enter Luoyang City."

After marking the five gates on the map, Yuan Shu gave further explanation.

“In addition, in Luoyang City, the Imperial Guard Yuan Xuan is a member of the Yuan family and can be trusted. The 720 halberd bearers and imperial guards under his command are all trustworthy. They control the Luoyang armory, and we can quickly obtain the equipment we don’t have from the Luoyang armory.

Therefore, when we take action, we will enter from the Valley Gate, first go to the armory to get enough weapons and equipment, then directly attack the North Palace from the Shuoping Gate, kill the eunuchs in the North Palace, control the emperor, and then sweep the two palaces, kill all the resistance, and control the two palaces. "

After saying that, Yuan Shu punched the map.

"As long as we accomplish these things, this event will be considered a success. We will all make indelible contributions to the future of the Han Dynasty. When the new king ascends the throne, we will surely receive due rewards! You and I will all receive the glory we deserve!"

Everyone's heart was suddenly filled with excitement.

After a burst of excitement, the more cautious Lu Zhi raised some of his concerns.

"It's not difficult to enter the north gate and get weapons, but, Mr. Yuan, Shuoping Gate is the palace gate and has always been heavily guarded. It will be very difficult to break in. Can we have an insider to assist us from the inside out? By the way, isn't Weiwei Yuan Pang..."

Yuan Shu shook his head.

“Yuan Pang is not from the Yuan family of Runan, but from the Yuan family of the State of Chen. He has never communicated with my father and my third uncle. He is aloof and does not like to socialize. It is meaningless to pin our hopes on him. Moreover, even if he wants to help, he cannot really command the soldiers to help us cooperate from inside and outside.

The palace guards, the Huben Army and the Yulin Army are all the eunuchs' confidants, and the lower-level officials who directly command these soldiers are also people trusted by the eunuchs. So, like Guanglu Xun Liu Kuan, Yuan Weiwei cannot really command the palace garrison to help us. As for those who actually lead the troops, we cannot expect anything from them.

Although my father and uncle have tried to communicate with them, it is not yet time to entrust them with trust. They have not had enough time to interact with each other, so we cannot pin our hopes on them. Therefore, I think it is necessary to prepare for the capture of Shuoping Gate. At the critical moment, we still have to rely on ourselves. "

Hearing this, Lu Zhi nodded slowly.

"In this case, I'm afraid it will take some thought..."

"There's no need to be too embarrassed."

Yuan Shu looked at Jia Xu, nodded, and said, "Wenhe, tell everyone what you know."

"Here."

Jia Xu nodded, and taking advantage of his usual ability to move around in the palace, he pointed to the Shuoping Gate on the map.

“Although there are two armed forces in the palace, the palace guards and the imperial guards, which together have 6,000 to 7,000 people, the personnel are relatively scattered, and not all of them are stationed in the palace. There are also people who rotate outside. Moreover, the Shuoping Gate that we really want to capture has only 117 defenders led by the Shuoping Sima.

In other words, as long as we successfully get the weapons in the armory and then arrive at Shuoping Gate, we will only face a maximum of 117 defenders. Moreover, according to rumors in the palace, there has been no major events in the palace for a long time, and the military preparations have been slack. The Huben Army and the Yulin Army are still okay, but these soldiers guarding the palace gate are no longer as sharp as they used to be.

Moreover, Shuoping Gate is located in the northernmost part, and the emperor and his court officials rarely work here, so the defense is even more lax. Many of the guards are very fond of drinking. They not only drink when they are on duty at night, but sometimes they drink during the day. There are only a dozen or twenty people who are actually on duty at night, and most of the others are sleeping. "

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction.

"We must act at night. Since it is night, the defenders of Shuoping Gate who can really pose a threat to us are only a few dozen people. As long as we have durable enough siege equipment, it won't take a long time for us to capture Shuoping Gate and enter Beigong.

Therefore, Shuoping Gate is not a big obstacle. The real test will start inside the North Palace. After entering the North Palace, there are still several palace gates that we need to break through. However, compared with the outer palace gate, the inner palace gate does not have such strong fortifications, so it is not difficult. "

After Yuan Shu and Jia Xu said this, Lu Zhi nodded repeatedly with a satisfied smile on his face, and the others were no longer worried.

Then, Yuan Shu discussed with everyone the issue of personnel deployment after the operation.
