Chapter 410 Luoyang's Powder Keg [Chapter Three]

In April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong died of illness. In front of the emperor's mourning hall, General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei helped the Marquis of Shi Liu Bian ascended the throne to the emperor.

Liu Bian, who was only fourteen years old, ascended the throne and changed his dynasty name to Guangxi. The empress dowager He was behind the curtain, General He Jin, and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei participated in the record of Shangshu...

The weather in June seemed extremely hot, and the farmers seemed to have not felt the haze over Luoyang City. They held sickles and struggled to harvest the joy of a year. Hu San and more than ten thousand brothers ran by naked, singing the "one, two, one" roaring by. Their passing also caused many bold women to point fingers.

After Hu San led the Shanzi Camp to fight with the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan last year, Luoyang was unwilling to continue lying beside the imperial capital. However, the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan was defeated and could not completely anger these arrogant guys. He wanted Dong Zhuo to suppress the Shanzi Camp and let Hu San get out after spring. The key is that Dong Zhuo is willing?

Before Shanziying fought with the Eighth Camp in the West Garden, He Jin sent Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to the three prefectures of Qingyan and Xu to recruit soldiers. I don’t know if Hu San was really too confident or because the silly man was too stupid, he set up six rows of linear formations when fighting with the elite Eighth Camp in the West Garden. It was a military formation that was not deep enough. As long as it was broken through by the center, it would be a crushing defeat.

But in such an extremely fragile military formation, the Eighth Battalion of Xiyuan was extremely defeated. After Cao Cao, who ran to Yanzhou, learned the news, he brought the newly recruited two thousand brave warriors to fight and returned overnight. After that, Yuan Shao also returned to Luoyang with two or three thousand troops.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao all recruited soldiers. General He Jin won over Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan 4,000 cavalry. In addition, the 1,000 soldiers led by Zhang Yang recommended by the prefect of Henoi Ding Yuan, the General's Mansion occupied half of the eighth camp in Xiyuan. Even so, He Jin was very worried. After the death of Emperor Liu Hong, he sent the official Wang Kuang to Xuzhou to recruit 500 crossbowmen. Bao Xin went to Taizhou to recruit strong soldiers, and Wuqiu Yi went to Danyang to recruit elite soldiers.

He Jin not only asked a group of subordinates to recruit soldiers from all over the country, but also, under Yuan Shao's persuasion, he privately mobilized Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao, and Hanoi prefect Ding Yuan led his troops into the capital. If Dong Zhuo was added before, he would be three generals from other places who came to the capital.

General He Jin asked Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin, and Qiqiu Yi to leave Beijing to recruit soldiers, and to win over Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan brothers, and also privately mobilized Qiao Mao and Ding Yuan's troops, which seemed to be trying to drive away Shanziying and Beidiying in one fell swoop. Is this the real purpose really?

Shanziying beat up all the eight camps in Xiyuan. Everyone wanted Hu San to get out of here quickly. Dong Zhuo promised to let Shanziying get out after the spring was warm. But it was already June. Even Cai Yong, who had a bitter old face, walked into the camp several times. The man who was bare-handed and trained was still lying in Henan County without moving.

Cai Yong is generous and kind, and Dong Zhuo is quite good at dealing with him. Every time Old Man Cai comes with full of confidence, he ends up leaving with a bitter face. Now, he once again has a bitter face...

"Boom boom boom..."

“One, two, one…”

"Boom boom boom..."

...

As soon as I came out of the gate of Henan County, I heard the roar of running around. When I opened the curtain, I saw countless soldiers with shields and spears rumbling towards me.

The soldiers of Shandi Camp ignored Cai Yong in the carriage and rushed into the city, but Hu San, who was following the middle section, stopped and punched the old man.

"Sir, why are you here in Henan County again?"

After hearing these words, Cai Yong's mouth felt bitter.

“It’s all June—”

"When will you get out of here?"

Hu San smiled, and got into the carriage while taking the drink. He shook his head as soon as he drank it, but he did not say much to the tasteless wine, but answered the old man's question.

"Hu San is just a soldier. Dong Sikong didn't speak. How dare Hu San leave without order?"

Cai Yong glared and said unhappily: "When will the imperial court let Zhongying take office as Sikong? Are you not afraid of the imperial court's punishment?"

"hehe……"

Hu San smiled and returned the four-sided wine pot to Cai Yong. He knew that only Dongbuyicong could use such wine pots in the Han Dynasty.

"The court did not allow Dong Zhonglang to be Lord Sikong, but this was agreed by Lord Taifu, and it had already agreed last winter."

Looking at the frowning old man, Hu San grinned.

"Your Majesty ascended the throne at a young age, the Queen Mother was behind the curtain, the General and the Grand Tutor assisted, but the Grand Tutor Yuan turned against his promise. How could Dong Zhonglang not be angry?"

"Mr. is a kind gentleman, but this matter is already a matter between Dong Zhonglang and Yuan Taifu and General. No matter how you persuade him, Dong Zhonglang cannot retreat easily. If you force too much, it will not only make Dong Zhonglang angry, but also make Yuan Taifu and General angry. "

Speaking of this, Hu San's expression was extremely solemn.

"Sir, I know the news from Liangzhou. When the lord wanted to fight Han Sui and Ma Teng, the army of Meiyang stopped moving forward. Didn't Huangfu Song want to do the task of recruiting Han Sui again?"

"Whether the general or the Grand Tutor Yuan, they will not treat our Liangzhou general well. Why should we ask Hu San to give in to them?"

"There is no way that the gentleman can intervene today, so why should we be a person who is angry and displeased with everyone?"

Facing the naked and majestic man, Cai Yong didn't know how to speak. He knew from Dong Zhuo that "Sikong" was right, and that Hu San's words were right. Dong Zhuo would not retreat easily without getting the high position he wanted. And Dong Zhuo's high position was equivalent to Dong Hu having a reliable political ally, which could avoid continuing to be suppressed by the court. How could he retreat?

Cai Yong knew that his actions not only offended Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu's uncle and nephew. If he failed to persuade the uncle and nephew of the Dong family to retreat, he would become a guest of honor for the uncle and nephew of the Dong family, he would also make He Jin. Yuan Wei disliked him and was disliked, but...

"Hu San..."

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. Although the general is not from a good background, he is not a person who cannot listen to loyal and good words. Grand Tutor Yuan has gone through three dynasties..."

"gentlemen!"

Hu San suddenly spoke and interrupted Cai Yong's words, his face becoming more and more serious.

"If Mr. Hu must go against the current, Hu San will pretend that he hasn't said anything. But Mr. Hu must understand one thing. Although the brothers did not return to Bingzhou immediately or went to Liangzhou to join the lord, more than 10,000 brothers have only stayed in Henan County for several months, without provoking the Eighth Camp of Xiyuan, no provoking Luoyang, and no acts of harassing the people."

Hu San put his hands on his legs and knees, leaned his body and leaned his big face closer to Cai Yong.

"Have you not seen it yet? The general sent people to recruit soldiers from all over the country, and privately mobilized Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao and Hanoi prefect Ding Yuan. The gentleman really thought the general's purpose was to drive Hu San away?"

“…”

"hehe……"

"Whether General He Jin or Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, they should all know that if we, Hu San, just don't leave, they can't do anything to us!"

"Try us again?"

"Even if Hu San died in battle, even if all the brothers in Shanziying died, so what if they were all killed? Sir, don't forget that the lord has defeated Han Sui, Ma Teng, and more than 100,000 Liangzhou thieves can't do anything to the lord. Even if He Jin recruited 100,000 Han soldiers?"

Cai Yong's hands couldn't stop trembling, and he finally understood Hu San's words.

There was no provocation to the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan, no threat to Luoyang, no harassment of the people, the Shanbei Camp, and more than 10,000 soldiers were running outside the city to train, which showed that they had no idea of ​​rebellion and at most they were staring at the direction of the situation in Luoyang.

But He Jin dispatched his subordinates to recruit soldiers everywhere, recruited Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao, and Henei prefect Ding Yuan came to Luoyang for what? There is only one answer!

Military Academy Captain Jian Shuo!

All eunuchs in the inner court!

The real purpose of He Jin's dispatch of troops was the eunuchs in the inner court! And this was the real thing that Cai Yong was terrified.

"Sir... there are some things that you can't decide, not Hu San, or even Dong Zhonglang. The lord can decide, so why should you force it too much?"

"You...you..."

Hu San had already made his words very clear. They did not move at this time. That was because Shi Hou successfully ascended the throne, there was no major change in the court, and the inner and outer courts were very calm.

but!

Once the general He Jin took action and killed all the eunuchs in the inner court in one fell swoop. Once an accident occurred, Liu Bian, who had just ascended the throne, was completely exposed to the war of the outer court. Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu, who were thousands of miles away, had reason to enter Luoyang City.

The great general Dou Wu and the great tutor Chen Fan could use the reason to "clear the king's side" to kill eunuchs. Today, the great general He Jin, the great tutor Yuan Wei could use the excuse of "clear the king's side" to kill eunuchs. Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu could also use the excuse of "clear the king's side and eliminate the rebellion" to kill Luoyang. The same excuse could also use the heads of the great general He Jin and the great tutor Yuan Wei!

First, He Jin and Yuan Wei killed the eunuchs in the inner court. Then Dong Zhuo led his troops to kill He Jin, Yuan Wei, and Luoyang what to do?

Hu San reached out and couldn't hold the trembling thin palm, his face ignorant.

"Can you persuade the butcher He Jin?"

"cannot!"

"Can you let the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei recommend Dong Zhonglang to become the imperial Sikong and Taiwei?"

"cannot!"

"Can you persuade Dong Zhonglang?"

"The same can't!"

"Sir, I can't do anything, so why bother do something annoying?"

Cai Yong seemed to have been hit, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally he sighed with powerlessness and looked silently towards Luoyang City...

"Forget it...forget..."

"Go and have a break..."

...

As Hu San said, Cai Yong had no choice at all. Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo reached a private deal last winter, but others didn't know about these things. Only Old Man Cai and Dong Zhuo had some personal relationships. They said some resentful and dissatisfied words while drinking. Only then did he realize that the two sides had such a deal.

Cai Yong is a living history book. Although he reacted a little slower and was kind-hearted and did not like to fight with others, it does not mean that he did not understand politics.

Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei privately reached a "Sikong or Taiwei" deal, which means that Dong Zhuo wants power and status. Not to mention whether he will expand due to the desire for power in the future, but now it is controllable and can reach a deal. No matter what kind of transaction it is, it means that there is room for easing.

The power and status he wanted were not obtained. With Liu Bian's ascension to the throne, Dong Zhuo was demoted from Guangluxun to the Central Army General of the Yulin. How could Dong Zhuo be satisfied with being suppressed repeatedly? How could he persuade Dong Zhuo to retreat?

Cai Yong didn’t know why Yuan Wei reached a deal with Dong Zhuo last winter, and why he regretted it now. Could it be because of Dong Zhuo’s “fear” retreat when Liu Bian ascended the throne?

He didn't know what He Jin was thinking. When a wolf was eyeing him, why did he kill the eunuchs in the inner court like this? Aren't he afraid that Dong Zhuo would kill them all in one fell swoop?
