The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Xun Yu also stood beside Liu Zhaoqing, staring at the sky above the yard with him.

The bright moon has gradually turned from waning to waxing. The two of them have been staring at the moon above their heads, of course not to appreciate its beauty, but to wait for something.

"call out!"

Just then, a sharp sound broke the silence of the night sky.

A special firecracker was shot into the sky by a special person. The sound could be heard throughout Luoyang, and the light after it bloomed dyed half of Luoyang red.

A dazzling red light descended from the sky, sprinkling on every corner, and then Liu Zhaoqing heard a noise coming from outside.

“Is this… the beginning?!”

Several great scholars who were about to fall asleep immediately became alert and vigorous, and Wang Yun even stood up.

Lu Hong also quickly cheered up and wiped her eyes.

Liu Zhaoqing and Xun Yu exchanged a glance, then immediately turned to the great scholars and said, "It is already midnight. He Jin should have seen Dong Zhuo's troops, and the remaining defenders in Luoyang are also tired. This is indeed the best opportunity."

"So should I wait..."

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head: "You guys still can't move."

"Still can't?" Wang Yun frowned.

Lu Zhi also said at this time: "This strategy may not succeed. Zhao Qing wants to leave a way out. As long as we old guys are here, even if something unexpected happens, we can still protect the foundation of the Han Dynasty and protect the safety of His Majesty."

"And the key is, Yuan Shao doesn't need our help, right?"

Liu Zhaoqing nodded.

"So what is she going to do? Who is she going to ask for help?" Zheng Xuan was puzzled. "She was dismissed from her position as the captain of the central army. She has no power in the Yuan family and has no subordinates or private soldiers at all."

"Even though He Jin's garrison in Luoyang is small now, if he relies on himself alone... I'm afraid he won't be able to accomplish anything."

"Mr. Zheng is right." Xun Yu nodded and continued, "But Yuan Shao is not the only person in Luoyang who is dissatisfied with He Jin."

Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment and then said, "You mean, Yuan Shao will go..."

"He should be in prison now..." Liu Zhaoqing's dark eyes sparkled, "In the past few days, He Jin has persecuted countless people, many of whom are outstanding people, including military officers."

"Even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are in prison... and once they are rescued... this force will be no less powerful than He Yi's entire imperial army."

Before Liu Zhaoqing could finish his words, everyone heard a loud eagle-like cry coming from a distance.

"Is this... Zhu Jun's earth spirit?!" Lu Zhi's expression moved slightly, and he immediately recognized the voice. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were persecuted by He Jin. If they could be saved because of this, he would feel very relieved and happy for these two old friends.

Now that Zhu Jun was rescued, Liu Zhaoqing realized that Yuan Shao was almost halfway there. He then secretly said a few words to Xun Yu, who looked worried after hearing them.

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head, and while the great scholars were overjoyed, he secretly walked out of the room and went to the outer courtyard. In a corner, he saw Zhang Liao walking towards him.

"Is your stuff ready?"

"Ready."

Zhang Liao took out the package, and then took out two sets of black clothes suitable for stealth at night.

Liu Zhaoqing and she hurriedly changed. Just as Liu Zhaoqing put on the mask, he saw a red figure appear not far away.

All she said was: "Be careful."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded to Lu Hong, then changed into night clothes and climbed over the wall with Zhang Liao.

Although he cannot act openly as the "Marquis of Changping", it does not mean that Liu Zhaoqing will do nothing.

Like this, there is nothing wrong with adding fuel to the fire for Yuan Shao as a "man in black", but it does not help Yuan Shao to complete the other half: occupying the General's Mansion.

After climbing over the wall, as Liu Zhaoqing had expected, all the soldiers who were guarding the palace outside the wall rushed towards the prison.

"My benefactor, shall we go to the dungeon? Or shall we go to the general's mansion to help Yuan Shao get the military token and other items?"

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head: "Yuan Shao is a great man, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are even more so. With the three of them, the defenders in the city will definitely be defeated. There is no need to go to the dungeon. As for the general's mansion, it won't make any difference if only the two of us join."

Zhang Liao was puzzled: "Then where should we go..."

"Go open the door." Liu Zhaoqing replied.

"Open the door?"

Liu Zhaoqing nodded without further explanation, and then he and Zhang Liao found a stable on another street, entered it, and then each untied a black horse and rode towards the Luoyang city gate.

At this time, at the gate of Luoyang City, none of the soldiers guarding the gate understood what was going on.

On the city wall, the soldiers in charge of guarding clearly saw the red light coming from afar because of their good vision. Their colleagues also saw the movement coming from the prison area over there, and their faces changed drastically.

"Hurry! Go on a fast horse to inform the general! Then get the messenger falcon and deliver the letter to the general!" The soldier understood that there was a big problem in Luoyang. If he reported slowly, he would definitely lose his head.

Just as the gatekeeper finished writing the letter and sent it out, he saw a fire in the distance from the city wall and heard a clear cry:

"Follow me, Yuan Shao, to eliminate the traitor He Jin!"

This cry attracted a lot of response. The people who were rescued and wrongly persecuted by He Jin beat up the jailers and soldiers who came to suppress them, then seized their weapons and headed towards the general's mansion.

The soldiers guarding the gate on the city wall were extremely anxious, but fortunately there were some outstanding people in the General's Mansion who kept the rebels out.

As time passed, the soldier's companion suddenly shouted: "There is a fire outside Luoyang City!"

The soldiers turned around and took a look, and instantly felt relieved.

It's reinforcements!

The general has dispatched reinforcements to suppress the rebellion!

This way everything is stable.

But... when the team got closer, the soldiers were shocked to find that the people coming were actually Cao Cao and other people who were not the general's confidants.

The general had issued an order before that these people must not be trusted. Could they be here to suppress the rebellion?

"I am Cao Cao, the commander of the army. Open the door!"

"Do you have the seal granted by the general?!" the soldiers on the city wall shouted.

Cao Cao remained calm and responded loudly: "The situation is urgent, and the general did not grant such items."

Just as the soldier was about to say something, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he fell forward and fell directly off the city wall.

Then a tiger roar was heard from the city gate. After a few screams, the huge car door was slowly opened.

Seeing this, Cao Cao lifted the reins and spurred his horse, shouting, "Go! Come with me to the General's Mansion!"

Chapter 133 Returning victoriously

The General's Mansion was not only He Jin's residence, but also the place where He Jin hid treasures, various important documents and seals.

Taking over the General's Mansion would not only provide solid evidence of He Jin's corruption and persecution of loyal officials, but would also allow them to occupy the highest point in Luoyang other than the imperial palace, and announce their victory to the few remaining defenders in Luoyang, forcing them to give up resistance.

The purpose of this move was not only to rescue those persecuted by He Jin, but also to kill the traitor He Jin.

Yuan Shao and others also understood that even if they captured Luoyang, they would have to continue to defend Luoyang.

Therefore, those defenders in the city who were forcibly conscripted by He Jin were not enemies. After they captured the General's Mansion and killed all of He Jin's confidants, they would still need those defenders to help defend the city to deal with the possible attack from Dong Zhuo.

Since ancient times, "defense" has been more difficult than "attack".

Even if Yuan Shao was still young and didn't understand, veteran generals such as Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song would remind him.

After escaping from the prison, Yuan Shao, on the advice of Huangfu Song, went straight to the General's Mansion, shouting slogans along the way.

Except for He Jin's trusted soldiers, the troops stationed in Luoyang or the imperial guards in the palace did not come forward to stop the group after seeing them.

But Yuan Shao also understood that although they would not stop him, they certainly would not help him because he had not yet won.

It was a long distance from the prison to the general's mansion, but Yuan Shao and his companions did not encounter too many obstacles along the way, so they moved forward quite smoothly.

On this side, Yuan Shao, wearing cheap light armor, led a group of "prisoners" with disheveled hair and holding various weapons taken from prison, while on the other side was a well-equipped, tall and strong regular army.

However, almost every one of these "prisoners" was a high-ranking general who was imprisoned by He Jin on trumped-up charges. Even many of their good friends were persecuted to death by He Jin, and they were already full of anger.

The regular troops were afraid to step forward when they saw that it was their former superior. Only He Jinzhi's personal soldiers dared to come forward to quell the rebellion. But before they could shout "How dare you!", they were hacked to death by several former palace generals who were outstanding people.

"Benchu, the general's mansion is ahead." Huangfu Song said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "General Zhu is already at the east gate of the General's Mansion. General Huangfu, let's go to the main gate."

"Everyone! Follow me through the main gate!"

Yuan Shao raised his sword, his heroic figure shone brightly in the firelight, and after she finished drinking, everyone raised their arms and shouted, then headed towards the main gate of the General's Mansion.

He directly engaged in battle with He Jin's guards who had heard the noise earlier and came out of the mansion.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives flashed like white fireflies, and the sounds of cursing and shouting for killing were endless.

But even so, the "prisoner rebels" led by Yuan Shao and Huangfu Song, who were poorly equipped but of high quality, were able to hold a stalemate with the elite guards in the general's mansion.

Not only because the guards stationed in the General's Mansion were strong soldiers personally selected by He Jin, but also because they had the support of the General's Mansion, there were many counselors to assist them, and there were also many elite soldiers who could directly replace the injured to suppress Yuan Shao and others.

Of course Yuan Shao also saw this. It was impossible for her not to know how difficult it was to break through head-on.

But obviously, Yuan Shao did this on purpose.

They would contain the front, and then rely on a small team led by Zhu Jun to attack from the side door. By then, they would attack from both sides, and these powerful soldiers trusted by He Jin would be completely wiped out, and then the general's mansion would be broken.

However, at this moment, a loud shout came from Zhu Jun.

"Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, how dare you escape from prison and rebel?!"

"I am eliminating the thieves for the Han Dynasty! How can this be considered as rebellion?! Zhang Zhang! You are the thief who is rebelling against the Han Dynasty and helping the tyrannical officials to increase their power!"

Zhang Zhang?

Yuan Shao was stunned. She knew who Zhang Zhang was. He was also one of He Jin's confidants.

He was supposed to be leading the troops to guard Wang Yun, Lu Zhi and others to prevent them from making any unusual movements tonight, but he did not expect that they would rush over so quickly after hearing the noise.

And worse news is yet to come.

Zhang Zhang came to the front, raised a golden seal in his hand, and shouted:

"I have the military token bestowed upon me by the great general! All the defenders in the city, follow me to suppress the rebellion!"

A ray of light shot out from the golden seal and shot straight into the sky. In an instant, all the soldiers in Luoyang wearing fine steel armor saw this light that represented the general's power to lead the troops.

Yuan Shao, Huangfu Song and others all looked pale.

I thought this thing should be in He Jin's mansion. After all, He Jin had become suspicious and distrustful of others after being instigated by Xun Yu. I didn't expect that this important military token was still given to his confidant.

"The second daughter of the Yuan family! Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and a group of rebels! Why don't you surrender quickly!" Zhang Zhang, holding a big axe, shouted at several people.

"boom!"

But at this moment, a sound like a huge rock exploding suddenly came from a distance.

Then, everyone in front of the General's Mansion heard a dense sound of horse hooves coming from all around the road.

After a while, a large group of fully armed cavalry surrounded everyone.

"Hmm? Are these the general's men?" Zhang Zhang took one look and immediately burst into laughter: "Hurry up..."

Before he could finish his words, an arrow shot out from the crowd and nailed him to the wall, taking his life instantly.

Yuan Shao looked at the faint blue trail of the arrow still in the air, and immediately felt happy in his heart. He turned his head to look in the direction where the arrow was shot.

Cao Cao, wearing a black armor, rode a black horse out of the cavalry, put down his bow, and said: "The general has ordered that Zhang Zhang has the intention of rebellion, and sent me back to the city to kill him."

"There are still traitors in the general's mansion. We must go in and search!"

How could the soldiers and counselors in front of the general's mansion believe such words? However, as Cao Cao raised his hand calmly, the surrounding cavalrymen instantly drew their spears and bows and arrows.

The soldiers in front of the general's mansion wanted to resist, but Cao Cao just said calmly: "Kill them."

Just half a moment later, the floor tiles in front of the General's Mansion were stained with blood.

Cao Cao dismounted and entered the general's mansion. He looked at the trembling servants and maids and said calmly, "The general has issued an order. Anyone who disobeys it will be regarded as treason."

All the maids and servants knelt on the ground.

Yuan Shao, Huangfu Song and others also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

-

On the other side, Liu Zhaoqing on the city wall also saw Cao Cao leading the cavalry rushing towards the General's Mansion in a line, and the battle was put to an end after a while.

"It seems that Captain Cao has been captured." Zhang Liao on the side said when he saw this.

"Yeah." Liu Zhaoqing nodded.
