Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59 Luoyang Upheaval
In Luoyang, the open and secret fighting in the palace has never stopped, even if Emperor Han Ling died not long ago.Although Liu Bian is more than ten years old, he still can't accept the recent changes. In the blink of an eye, he became the emperor.

Liu Bian didn't want to be the emperor anymore, he was so tired that he wanted to escape, and he had only been in office for a few days.At this time, Liu Bian really hoped that Gongsun Xu would appear. He believed that if Gongsun Xu was there, he would definitely be able to find a solution for him.But Gongsun Xu, who is always cruel in reality, cannot appear by his side now.

Ever since Empress He quarreled with Empress Dowager Dong last time, Empress He held a grudge. After discussing with He Jin, they decided to get rid of Empress Dowager Dong. To Hejian Mansion.Then he ordered people to surround Dong Chong's mansion, and Dong Zhong had to commit suicide.

Zhang Rang and other eunuchs saw that Dong's family was finished, and used gold, silver and jewels to please He Jin's younger brother He Miao and mother Wuyang Jun.In June, He Jin sent people to Hejian Mansion to poison Empress Dowager Dong to death.Yuan Shao advised He Jin to kill all the eunuchs immediately, but He Jin hesitated.

Zhang Rang bribed He Miao, and He Miao told Queen He that his brother was going to kill Shi Changshi again.He came in and said that he wanted to kill the ten permanent attendants, but why not.Yuan Shao wanted to send heroes from all over the world to Beijing to attack the eunuchs.The chief bookkeeper Chen Lin believes that as long as the general makes a decision, the eunuchs will not be wiped out, and letting people from all walks of life come to Beijing will only cause chaos in the world.

He Jin reprimanded Chen Lin and accepted Yuan Shao's suggestion, but Cao Cao said: "This matter is very easy to do, as long as they are caught, they will be sent to prison! If you want to call foreign soldiers, the matter will be leaked, and it will definitely fail. .” Because Cao Cao and the eunuch Cao Jie were relatives, He Jin scolded Cao Cao for being selfish.Cao Cao left the He residence and sighed, "He Jin must be the one who disturbs the world!"

Dong Zhuo, who teamed up with Gongsun Xu to defeat the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, had a very smooth official career because he had fawned over Zhang Rang and others over the years and maintained a very good relationship with He Jin.After donating a large amount of gold and silver treasures, Dong Zhuo was named former general, Marquis of Aoxiang, and governor of Xiliang.

He received He Jin's false imperial decree and felt that it was a good opportunity to realize his ambition, so Dong Zhuo led an army of 20 to Luoyang.When the soldiers arrived in Shaanxi, he asked his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead [-] soldiers to guard Shaanxi to protect the retreat. Then Dong Zhuo continued to march into Luoyang. In order to speed up the march, Dong Zhuo decided to lead [-] armored soldiers first.

At this time, the shrewd Li Ru said: "We came to Beijing by order, and there are still some things that are unclear. It is better to send someone to report to the emperor first, and the name will be justified." Tai and Lu Zhi thought that Dong Zhuo was like a jackal and should not be allowed to enter Beijing.He Jin refused to listen, and Zheng Tai, Lu Zhi and most of the ministers resigned.

When Zhang Rang heard the news, he knew that it would be too late if he didn't make a move. Instead of letting others slaughter him, he might as well give it a go.Zhang Rang and others had been in the palace for so many years, and they had long since become ruthless people, so Zhang Rang and others decided not to do it, but to kill He Jin first.

Zhang Rang and others ambushed fifty knife and axemen at the Jiade Gate of Changle Palace in advance, and then went to ask Empress He for help.Empress He asked them to plead guilty to He Jin, but they asked Empress He to invite He Jin into the palace.He Jin was about to go, but Chen Lin advised him not to go, because if he went, he would be killed by the ten servants, but He Jin refused.

Cao Cao asked He Jin to transfer the ten permanent servants out of the palace first, and then go again, but He Jin still refused to listen.Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each selected five hundred elite soldiers, and let Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu lead them.Yuan Shu put the army outside the Qingsuo Gate, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao protected He Jin outside the Changle Palace, and the Yellow Gate issued a decree that only He Jin was allowed to enter.

When He came in to the gate of the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others led the men to surround him, and the knives and axes rushed out and cut him in two.Zhang let He Jin's head be thrown out from the wall, and said: "He Jin has been killed for his rebellion, and the rest are slaves, and they will all be pardoned."

When Yuan Shao saw He Jin's head, he knew that things were not going well today, and he was guilty of death for not doing enough to protect He Jin. Even if he could return home safely today, his uncle would look down on him.So Yuan Shao yelled sharply: "The eunuchs murdered the ministers, come and kill all the traitors!"

Wu Kuang set fire outside the gate of Qingsuo, and Yuan Shu led his troops into the palace and killed all the eunuchs he saw.Yuan Shao and Cao Cao broke open the door, rushed into the inner palace, drove Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng to the Cuihua Tower, and chopped them into meat paste.

Zhang Rang, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan and others hijacked Empress He, Liu Bian and Liu Xie, and walked to the North Palace from behind.Seeing the changes in the palace, Lu Zhi hurriedly put on his armor and held his spear, and stood guard on your side. Seeing Duan Gui waiting, he shouted: "Duan Gui is a traitor, how dare you kidnap the Queen Mother!" Duan Gui turned around and fled. escaped by Lu

Plant to the rescue.

Lu Zhi knew that it would be impossible to continue chasing him like this. He didn't have an army in his hands, and he only relied on his own soldiers. Maybe he would be harmed by others. After thinking twice, Lu Zhi decided to ask Zhang Jai and Dian Wei to send troops.Lu Zhi knew that although the palace was in chaos now, the [-] Imperial Forest Army must not have been involved.Sure enough, when Lu Zhi's protector, Empress He, came to the Yulin Army barracks, she opened her jaw. Dian Wei was calling soldiers, but they showed no sign of sending troops.

Zhang Jaw, Dian Wei heard that Lu Zhi was protecting the mother when she came to the barracks, the two immediately greeted them, and Lu Zhi did not delay after seeing the two, immediately explained the situation in the palace clearly, and at the same time asked the two to send troops to rescue her.Lu Zhi is Gongsun Xu's teacher, Zhang Jaw, Dian Wei and Dian Wei dare not neglect.

After a brief discussion, Zhang Ja led four thousand cavalry and Lu Zhi to rescue him, and Dian Wei led eight thousand infantry to protect Empress Dowager He and enter the palace to put down the rebellious army.Now the palace is too chaotic, there are robbery, murder and theft happening everywhere.

What Empress Dowager He misses most is the Chuanguo Yuxi, which is too important, and what others may do when they see the Chuanguo Yuxi.Empress Dowager He was worried, so she also participated in the fight against the chaos.

When Dian Wei led the army to the palace, he saw that the palace was in chaos. Originally, Yuan Shu had arranged for two thousand Xiyuan troops to maintain law and order, but most of the officers of the Xiyuan army were recruited from Luoyang, and there were many soldiers in the Xiyuan army. Originally a hooligan.Asking them to maintain law and order is a joke.

Especially when the 2000 people saw some of the people who came first making a fortune in the palace, they were also moved.As long as they make a small profit while maintaining law and order, it will be enough for them to live for several years.

When the first person deserted, the second person would definitely chase after him. One after another, the West Garden Army, which was originally used to maintain law and order, joined the chaos-creating crowd.At this time, Yuan Shu didn't care about the palace because he was looking for Liu Bian and others.

What Dian Wei saw could only be described as chaos, murder, robbery, theft, and even rape.These things actually appeared in the noble palace.Seeing this scene, Dian Wei was also very angry.Empress Dowager He in the carriage wondered why Dian Wei stopped and did not enter the palace to calm the chaos.When she stepped out of the carriage, she was also stunned by the sight in front of her. Is this still the palace of the big man?Empress Dowager He couldn't believe her eyes.

Although Dian Wei is a bit stupid, he has been leading troops for several years. He knows that he and Zhang Jaw must be careful everywhere in Luoyang.

After explaining to the six lieutenants, Dian Wei immediately went to the Empress Dowager He's carriage and knelt down and said, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, the palace is in chaos now, and as a big man, I should have stepped forward at this critical moment, but I didn't get it." According to the orders of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, I dare not lead the army into the palace. But I have to worry about my great man's foundation, so I ask the empress to decide whether I should lead the army into the palace."

Empress Dowager He recovered after hearing Dian Wei's words. Dian Wei's words were sincere, but the clever Empress Dowager He still understood other meanings.Empress Dowager He considered that she was alone now, her most powerful husband died of illness, and her only elder brother who could take care of her also died.

As a woman, it can be said that she has lost the foundation of her life, especially her son's choice is also unknown. At this time, if someone secretly attacked the Queen Mother, no one would know.But the tall and mighty ugly general in front of him actually asked him for an order.What does this mean?

Think about Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others who led the army into the palace privately, but who would blame them? The general in front of him could do the same.But he still wants to ask for an order from himself, which can only show one thing, he is surrendering to himself.

Empress Dowager He thought this was unbelievable at first, how could a woman be able to subdue the other party, but after thinking about it for a long time, Empress Dowager He understood.Now, I am the most authoritative person in the entire Han Dynasty, at least I have righteousness, and what I say is worthy of the imperial edict. This is where this general is willing to surrender.

Empress Dowager He was still worried, so she asked, "Ai's family is a woman, how can she command the general?"

Dian Wei immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is the empress dowager, but one person is under one person and above ten thousand people. Without your majesty's will, how could our army leave the barracks for half a step, but if you want to enter the palace now, unless your majesty allows you, The ministers can only stay here."

Empress Dowager He nodded. Although he was not sure about Dian Wei's loyalty, at least he was still very obedient.Moreover, he surrendered to himself in this way, probably to cling to his own position.After thinking about everything, Empress Dowager He said with deep guilt: "It's the Ai family's recklessness. It's the Ai family's fault that they still don't know the name of the general."

Dian Wei heard that Empress Dowager He agreed, and immediately replied: "The minister is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Dian Wei, who was favored by the emperor back then, and bestowed the word evil."

Empress Dowager He believed in Dian Wei even more when she heard that the emperor personally gave the characters. In ancient times, not everyone could have characters. Judging from what this person said, he should have been a lowly servant before, otherwise It will not wait until the emperor bestows the word.

Empress Dowager He was secretly happy, now that she has military power in her hands, she doesn't have to be intimidated when doing things.Immediately, Empress Dowager He issued an order: "Dianwei listened to the order and quickly sent troops into the palace to quell the chaos. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed. After the chaos is over, you will lead the army to maintain the safety of the palace. There must be no mistakes.

After this incident, the Ai family will remember your great service. When the emperor returns to court, the Ai family will definitely recommend you to the emperor as Habayashi Zhonglang, and all the soldiers in the army will be rewarded. "

After hearing this, the soldiers of the three armies all knelt down to accept the order: "Your servant is waiting for the order."

After Dian Wei received the Queen Mother's will, he immediately issued an order to leave 1000 people guarding the palace gate. No one was allowed to enter or leave without the emperor's and Queen Mother's orders.If there are wandering soldiers who violate the law, they can be killed first and played later.Then Dian Wei divided the remaining people into seven teams, entered the palace to drive out the rebels, and killed anyone who disobeyed.

Dian Wei himself led 1000 people to protect the Queen Mother, and marched in the direction indicated by the Queen Mother.Two hours later, the palace finally calmed down. More than a thousand rebels were killed, most of them were shot to death by random arrows. There was no way. , all raised their knives at each other.

Dian Wei's subordinates are not good at talking, if they don't listen to them, then it goes without saying, they just shot them to death with random arrows, even if there are innocent people, it can only be regarded as your bad luck and lack of brains.In addition, nearly 3000 people were captured. Some of these 3000 people belonged to the Xiyuan Army, some belonged to another Imperial Forest Army, and some belonged to some family soldiers.

Dian Wei felt that these people could not be let go in vain, so he confiscated their weapons and put them all under custody.I have to say that this group of people is not that easy to provoke. Even if their weapons were confiscated, many thorns are still trying to make trouble.Even if the queen mother came forward in person, she couldn't hold back, and even frightened the queen mother.

After Dian Wei saw this situation, he felt that if he was not tough, he would definitely be stepped on by others, so Dian Wei immediately led the army to separate and surround the 3000 people after thinking about the Queen Mother He's request.Many assassins are unwilling to obey orders relying on their own background.

Dian Wei didn't talk nonsense, he stepped forward and grabbed the most violent one and threw it on the ground, then grabbed the opponent's foot with one hand, and forcibly tore the thorn in half.The miserable cry not only frightened the three thousand prisoners, but also disturbed the terrified Queen Mother He.

Empress Dowager He immediately asked the maid beside her to find out what was going on. Who knew that the maid next to her came back with a pale face and said, "General Dian Wei just tore a prisoner alive, that's why there was that scream. Then General Dian Wei was covered in blood. , the body is still covered with the internal organs and intestines of the man, and he continues to straighten the captives."

Empress Dowager He's face turned pale when she heard the maid's description, and she even felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.Unexpectedly, I recruited such a fierce person, it would be enough to just kill him, but I still want to tear him apart alive, how disgusting it is.

Dian Wei can't control that much, he has his own way to manage the army, after tearing off a thorn, Dian Wei saw a little panic from the seriousness of these prisoners, but many people still seemed unconvinced, Dian Wei laughed and continued forward.Dian Wei's smile scared everyone.

He was originally ugly and dark-skinned. Although he was more powerful after wearing armor, his body was now covered with human internal organs and intestines, and every step he took would leave bloody footprints.Not to mention this group of prisoners, even some of Dian Wei's subordinates trembled when they saw it.

Dian Wei walked up to a prisoner who was quite violent just now, Dian Wei said with a smile: "I remember, you were there just now, right?" Then, Dian Wei stretched out a pair of big hands towards the prisoner.

This prisoner was originally Yuan Shao's personal soldier, so he dared to be so presumptuous.But now, he was so scared that he wet his pants.He kept saying, "No me, not me, not me, please spare me, General."

But Dian Wei still lifted him up. Seeing that Dian Wei refused to let him go, the man said harshly, "I am General Yuan Shao's personal soldier. If you dare to touch me, I will... ah"

Before he finished speaking, Dian Wei tore him in half, then Dian Wei turned to his own soldiers and said, "What did he say just now, I didn't hear clearly."

Most of Dian Wei's soldiers were brothers who used to rob Dian Wei's house together, and they all knew a little about Dian Wei's temper. When Dian Wei said this, all the soldiers shook their heads and said, "General Qi, I will wait for anything. Did not hear."

Dian Wei nodded with a smile, then turned his head to the prisoners and said with a smile, "Did you hear anything just now?"

It has to be said that Dian Wei is a bit short-hearted, but he still laughed at this time, and his smile immediately stunned the seven timid prisoners.The rest of the people even lowered their heads and dared not speak.Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Dian Wei said to his subordinates: "There are still disobedient ones, cut them up and give them extra meals. The court's food supply is insufficient these days, so we will eat meat tonight."

Dian Wei's subordinates shouted cooperatively: "Good, good, good, thank you General for your gift."

Then, all the soldiers stared at all the prisoners with green eyes.This time, no one really dared to make trouble.Many prisoners felt that they had met the Yaksha army who was demanding their lives this time, otherwise, why would they look at themselves like this.

After Dian Wei dealt with the matter of the captives, he arranged for soldiers to patrol, and then transferred all the soldiers in the camp to the palace, so that he could gain a foothold in the capital.
