Wang Mang already had powerful generals such as Wu Wenhua, Su Xian, Ai Zhang, and Lin Chong under his command. Now with the help of his family brothers and Liang Lin and Liang Fang, Wang Mang suddenly became the strongest force under Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw the three of them. and promised to win him over as a confidant with huge profits and entrust him with important tasks to appease other generals under his command!
All in all, the strength of Dong Zhuo's men has greatly increased, which made his ambitions one step further. While eyeing the Sili court, he also arranged for his confidants Er Zhurong, An Lushan, Shi Siming, Wang Mang, and Li Ru to secretly win over Han Sui, Ma Teng, and others. Ding Yuan and even the generals within the grassland Shi Le and Ke Zuique.
In addition, Dong Zhuo also assigned six powerful generals: Niu Mowang, Wu Wenhua, Wang Feng, Wang Xian, Hua Xiong, and Dong Ping, and asked them to lead more than a hundred subordinates to recruit military generals and talents throughout Xiliang. The overall strength of Gao Xiliang's army!
In June, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou, was overjoyed when he received a side message from the imperial court and General He Jin to the Qing emperor. He immediately ordered his 200,000 troops and horses to set off.
Dong Zhuo ordered his son-in-law Zhonglang Niu Fu to guard his hometown in Xiliang, and he led his men Wang Mang, Er Zhurong, An Lushan, Shi Siming, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others to march out of Tongguan and march towards Tongguan. Heading to Kyoto and Luoyang!
During this period, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru remonstrated: "We have now received the appeal, but I'm afraid there is a conspiracy in it. I think we can send my subordinates to Sili to express the memorial to Qingjun, so that we can legitimately settle in the capital of Luoyang. In this way, Great things can be accomplished.”
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered his son-in-law Li Ru and adopted sons An Lushan and Shi Siming to send a seal to the court, explaining that the purpose of sending troops this time was to punish the eunuchs and stop the rebellion!
It is said in the chapter: I have heard that the chaos and rebellion in the world continues, all because Zhang Rang, the constant servant of the Huangmen, and others insulted the heaven. I heard that Yang Decoction is better to stop the boil than to remove the firewood; although ulcers are painful, it is worse than nourishing the poison. I dare to ring bells and drums to enter Luoyang, please give way. Sheji is very lucky! The world is so lucky!
When he was in charge of the imperial court, the general He Jin received the seal from Dong Zhuo and showed it to the ministers close to him. At this time, the imperial censor Zheng Tai admonished him and said: "Dong Zhuo, the shepherd of Liangzhou, is a jackal. , if he is introduced to the capital, he will definitely "eat people". "
General He Jin sneered and said, "You (Zheng Tai) are suspicious by nature. I can't make plans with you. Just leave these things alone!"
At this time, the minister Lu Zhi remonstrated: "I have known Dong Zhuo for a long time and know what kind of character he is. This guy has a good face and a bad heart. Once he is allowed to lead his troops into the capital, it will definitely cause disaster. It is better to give the order." He should not come to Sili, lest he cause trouble."
General He Jin was unwilling to listen to their advice. As a result, Zheng Tai and Lu Zhi both abandoned their posts and left. Most of the people who left with Lu Zhi and the court ministers followed them.
He Jin sent his troops to Mianchi to welcome Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army into the capital, but Dong Zhuo did not agree. Instead, he followed the advice of his son-in-law Li Ru and led his troops to station near Mianchi, holding his troops still and watching the changes in the capital. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
Following the promulgation of General He Jin's proclamation and Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo's acceptance of the proclamation and his troops stationed in Mianchi, Zhang Rang, the ten permanent servants in the imperial city, learned that Dong Zhuo and his troops had arrived outside Luoyang City, and immediately summoned the remaining eunuchs in the palace. Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Gui, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, Song Dian and others discussed together what to do next!
"Introducing Dong Zhuo to the capital is the plan of General He Jin. If we don't take action now, we will all be exterminated. What should we do next?"
Shi Chang waited on everyone to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to strike first. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Bi Lan, Li Song, and Duan Gui summoned the dead soldiers raised at home, and used more than a hundred dead soldiers as swordsmen and axemen to ambush Inside the Jiade Gate of Changle Palace, waiting for the opportunity!
Then, Zhang Rang went to the Empress Dowager He's residence and asked her for help, saying: "Now General He Jin has issued a proclamation and summoned foreign troops. They have arrived outside the capital and want to kill us all. Please have mercy on the Empress Dowager. Save our lives."
When Queen Mother He saw this, although she felt pity in her heart, her eyebrows still furrowed slightly and she replied calmly: "You go to the General's Mansion now and ask him to plead guilty, maybe you can be spared from death!"
"If we get to the Prime Minister's Mansion, our bones and flesh will be crumbled to pieces. I hope the Queen will announce that the General will come to the palace and order to stop him. If he doesn't comply, I will only go to the Queen Mother and ask for death."
Seeing Zhang Rang and others pleading hard, even threatening death.
The Empress Dowager He originally refused, but she was afraid that these eunuchs would do evil things and harm their lives, so she was forced to surrender and order General He to enter the palace.
Afterwards, the general He Jin was sure of victory. After receiving the edict from the Empress Dowager He announcing his entry into the palace, he was about to enter the palace. Before entering the palace, he saw his master Bo Chen Lin admonishing him and saying: "The edict issued by the Empress Dowager He must be inevitable." This is the plan of the Ten Permanent Attendants, General, you must not go, otherwise there will be disaster."
He Jin didn't take it seriously and said with a sneer: "The Queen Mother He is my sister. What harm will happen if she issues an edict announcing my entry into the palace? You just think too much!"
At this time, Chunyu Qiong, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, admonished: "Now that our plan has been exposed, and the idea of eradicating the eunuchs in the court has been known to everyone, how can you still dare to enter the palace, general? Are you not afraid of Zhang Rang and others? Is there an ambush?"
He also saw Lu Junyi, who was also a lieutenant in the Central Military Academy, also admonishing and saying: "To be cautious, the general can first summon all the ten regular servants in the palace, and then escort them into the palace with armored soldiers."
General He Jin ignored Chen Lin, Lu Junyi and Chun Yuqiong's well-intentioned advice, and even joked: "You are just villains. I am the general of the dynasty. Under one person, I am worth ten thousand people." "Your Majesty, the powerful soldiers and horses in the world, and the ordinary servants with no roots, dare to set an ambush for me? You are thinking too much."
Lieutenant Chun Yuqiong of the Central Military Academy was still worried and made another suggestion: "Since you are determined to go, General, please let me lead more than a hundred soldiers to accompany you, just in case something unexpected happens!"
So Chunyu Qiong and Lu Junyi each selected the remaining men, and then Chun Yuqiong's younger brothers Chun Yudao, Chun Yuji, Chun Yuan, and Chun Yupu were appointed as school captains to lead them. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
At this time, Chunyu Dao's four brothers were fully clothed, holding divine soldiers and leading their subordinates to line up outside Qingsuo Gate!
Lieutenants Chun Yuqiong and Lu Junyi of the Central Military Academy escorted General He Jin to the Changle Palace with swords, but Zuo Feng of the Xiaohuang Gate told him: "The Empress Dowager He has specially announced that General He Jin will enter the palace, and no one else is allowed to enter."
Helplessly, Lu Junyi and Chun Yuqiong were blocked outside Changle Palace by the Xiaohuang Gate and were unable to enter. At this time, General He Jin waved his hand to the two of them to wait outside the palace, while he himself walked straight in with his head held high and a sword on his waist! .
