But for your sake, I still ponder it. ------Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms "Dan Ge Xing"
It is said that in Luoyang Posthouse, Chen Long sent Cui Lie away. When night came, Zhang Ning was already fast asleep beside him. Chen Long, a man from another world, was very excited when he thought about the many heroes he would see in the court hall tomorrow, but he couldn't sleep late at night. At the same time, the lights in the General's Mansion adjacent to Nangong were also brightly lit, and soldiers were on guard outside the Xuan Hall. A secret gathering was going on inside the Xuan Hall.
At the head of the seat, there is a man with a sinewy face, wildly swept beard, rough appearance, and formidable aura. Under his thick eyebrows, a pair of big eyes shine with a frightening light. He is the great general at that time, and he is the uncle of the country. high. He was originally a butcher, but because his half-sister was elected to the palace and made a queen, he was able to ascend to heaven and take charge of the world's military power.
The people sitting here are also famous, and they are all He Jin's confidants. The first person on the left hand is short in stature, with a deer head and rat eyes, three black beards, and a supercilious attitude. He is the brother of He Jin, who was a general of chariots and cavalry at that time, and was waiting for He Miao in Jiyang. The second man, tall and tall, dressed in court uniform, with a straight nose and square mouth, handsome and mighty, was He Jin's confidant, the son of Sikong Yuan Feng, the then captain Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. The third person is of medium stature, bohemian, majestic, fair-faced and short-bearded. He is the son of Taiwei Cao Song, who was the Cavalry Commander and Yilang Cao Cao Mengde at that time. The fourth man has a round face, high cheekbones, short beard, and a cold and stern expression. He is the confidant of Wu Kuang. The fifth man was tall, with a black face and no beard, a powerful appearance, broad shoulders and thick flesh. He was a retainer that Yuan Shao and He Jin relied on together, and later became the shepherd of Jiaozhou, Zhang Jin and Zhang Ziyun.
The person on the right hand, with handsome features, black hair, three locks of beard, and academic style, is He Jin's confidant, Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang, who was the chief secretary of the General's Mansion at the time and one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". The second person, with eight-colored eyebrows, eyes as bright as stars, dressed in Confucian robes, and a calm demeanor, was He Jin's confidant. He was then the Chief of the General's Office, He Yong and He Boqiu, a famous scholar in Nanyang. The third person has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, smart eyebrows and eyes, wearing a silk scarf on his head, and a flashy temperament. He is a wise man, and the people of Nanyang are in good times. The fourth person, fair-faced and beardless, young and handsome, well-mannered and refreshed, was He Jinzhi. He was the minister of Huangmen at that time, and the descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun You Xun Gongda. The fifth person, with a thin face, five long beards, treacherous eyebrows and a wretched temperament, is He Jin's think tank, Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, a common friend of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
From the perspective of future generations, He Jin's current lineup is enough to scare people all over the world. Needless to say, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Xun You, Feng Ji, Xu You and others all had far-reaching wisdom and profound meaning. He Jin's death was, as the saying goes, nozuonodye, purely self-inflicted. If you don't do it, you won't die. This is the same in ancient and modern times.
He Jin glanced at Wen Wu with a fierce gaze, and said slowly: "Now, Zhongchang Shi Zhao Zhong, for some reason, recommended Chen Long, the prefect of Lingling, and he has been ordered to do so. I heard that he led the army to defeat the Yellow Turbans in Lingling. , both civil and military, have you heard about it?"
Xu You's sharp voice was the first to speak: "General, it's just a Lingling prefect. General He Lao is so grand. We only need to let Zhang Jin lead a few junior generals to kill him on the way to Beijing. That's it."
He Miao sneered and said, "Mr. Xu, did you drink too much yesterday? Chen Long entered the city last night, and Cui Lie personally greeted him. What a good plan you came up with!" Xu Youfang knew that he had made a mistake and quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
Cao Cao's majestic voice rang out: "General, there is no conclusion yet on whether this person belongs to the eunuch group. Why not send someone to visit him to find out his heart?" Yuan Shao also said: "That's right. This person is unknown, and he was only known this year. He has risen to prominence, and now he has obtained the Holy Order. Do not touch him easily. If he cannot be used by me, it will not be too late to kill him."
Feng Ji Youyou said: "Gentlemen, I mean, now that we are about to kill all the eunuchs, it is an ironclad fact that Chen Long relied on the eunuchs and was promoted. How can we raise a tiger to cause trouble? When we take action in the future, if there are more If Chen Long is a variable, it will increase our risk. We would rather kill him by mistake than let him go." There was ruthlessness in his words.
Wu Kuang and Zhang Jin were both military generals. They could not play tricks and could only listen silently. Xun You smiled and said nothing, relying entirely on He Jin to make his decision. He Yong cleared his throat and said: "The Holy One heard that Chen Long defeated the Yellow Turbans. He was overjoyed and asked Chen Long to attack Zhang Jiao. Now that Chen Long has entered the capital, it is not the time to kill him. But let him take Zhang Jiao. , it seems inappropriate to return with great achievements. The current plan is to win over his heart first and promise him a high official and generous salary. If he doesn't obey, even if he wins, we will find a way to suppress his achievements and let him return empty-handed. , he must hate Zhao Zhong."
Seeing that everyone had different opinions, He Jin was at a loss. He Miao's treacherous eyes flashed and he said: "General, I would like to go to the embassy in person and have a talk with Chen Long, is that okay?"
He Jin smiled and said: "Then I'll work hard, brother. Ziyuan, you should also work hard and go to Lingling tomorrow to find out Chen Long's background." Xu You hurriedly agreed and said, "I heard that Lingling There is an office here, and they often bribe eunuchs. Why not let General Wu secretly arrest the person in charge for interrogation, and you will know his true feelings once you ask him."
He Yong objected: "No. How could Chen Long not know if he captured his men? This is pushing Chen Long to the opposite side. Now if we can win over him, we will be better than making another enemy." Xu You was frustrated again, but Nuonuo didn't. Word.
He Jin listened and said in surprise: "This matter should not be taken lightly. Since it is obvious that something is wrong, then conduct a secret investigation. General Wu, mobilize your troops to monitor the people working in Lingling and conduct secret investigations to see if they have any relationship with the eunuchs." How deep it is, be prepared to uproot it." Wu Kuang agreed with his hand.
These people here are all He Jin's assistants and confidants in his plan to kill the eunuchs. They had already made a plan to take advantage of the internal and external troubles to kill all the eunuchs in one fell swoop. The appearance of Chen Long this time gave them an extra layer of variables, so they held an urgent meeting to discuss.
The next morning, when Chen Long had just gotten up, the guard at the door came to report: "General He Miao, the general of chariots and cavalry, has come to invite the general to accompany him to the palace."
Chen Long was already a rebel general, so the guards called him general. Hearing that He Miao had arrived, he was a little surprised. He thought that He Miao was He Jin's younger brother and belonged to the influence of his relatives. He came in a hurry so early. What was the purpose?
Although he didn't know whether he was good or bad, it was an indisputable fact that he had obtained the position to defeat the Yellow Turban general through the eunuch's influence, and it should have aroused the vigilance of the relatives' group. Chen Long wished he could immediately summon Zhao Da to ask about the details of his relatives' group, but it was too late, so he had to freshen up, put on the official uniform of Lingling Prefect, walked outside, and saw He Miao waiting beside a luxury carriage.
Seeing Chen Long's majesty and extraordinary appearance, He Miao's expression of envy and jealousy flashed past, and he laughed and said: "Is this General Wenlong who broke the Yellow Turban? Miao has admired it for a long time!" Chen Long quickly stepped forward and saluted: " How dare Chen Long, a weak general, come to pick him up in person?"
He Miao waved his hand and said: "Come, take my carriage, and we will go to the palace together." Chen Long knew that He Miao had something to say, so he respectfully invited He Miao to get in the carriage first, followed He Miao, and sat in the carriage with He Miao bowing his head. The carriage moved slightly and started very smoothly.
He Miao kept looking at Chen Long and suddenly said: "Wen Long, tell me the truth, are you Zhao Changshi's person?"
When Chen Long saw the pig-headed He Miao opposite him, he pursed his lips and remained silent. He Miao thought he was acquiescing, and laughed and said: "Wen Long, don't be nervous. Although my brother has the intention to kill the eunuchs, I am not. You don't know something, but my mother Wuyang Jun and Zhang Rang have a close relationship. I My sister even married Zhang Rang’s adopted son. Do you know how happy Changshi Zhang and Changshi Zhao were when you came into the world?”
Chen Long saw that He Miao was so proud and knew that he had unintentionally become the focus of the eunuch group's training and a thorn in the side of the relatives group. But how could He Miao be so sure that he would be loyal to the eunuch.
He Miao continued: "As long as Wenlong can destroy the Yellow Turbans this time and return in triumph, Zhao Changshi will definitely put in a good word for you in front of the emperor. When the time comes, you can just say what position you want."
Chen Long understood something. He Miao thought that he had paid bribes for thousands of miles just to get an official position. Naturally, he used his position as a bait and was not afraid that he would not be loyal to the eunuch. Immediately he said: "It turns out that General He is one of our own. Thank you for your kindness. The general..." As he said, he stopped talking and looked at He Miao with his eyes.
He Miao chuckled and said, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, if my brother does something bad to you, I will inform you and keep you safe."
Chen Long quickly pretended to be grateful and said: "In that case, I would like to thank General He. This time my subordinates came to Beijing and brought ten thousand taels of silver. They came at night and asked the soldiers to deliver it to your house. As a small tribute, I hope General He will accept it." "
He Miao was overjoyed and said: "General, you are really happy! Your future is all in my hands!"
Chen Long remembered something and asked, "Who are the general's men? I wish I could be prepared in advance."
He Miao was happy after receiving the bribe. He said without any concealment: "You have to be careful about Xu You. He secretly went to Lingling and was responsible for investigating your background. There is also Wu Kuang, who is responsible for secretly investigating the person you planted in Luoyang." Personnel. My brother’s subordinates include Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, He Yong, Xun You, Feng Ji and others, all of whom are his die-hard loyalists. They are plotting to attack the eunuchs. You are a popular member of the eunuch group, so be careful when entering or exiting."
As soon as these words came out, huge waves surged in Chen Long's heart. These thunderous names are all heroes that I want to find. Now I have to guard against this group of tigers and wolves. How can I be so dangerous?
He Miao suddenly asked: "I heard that Wenlong has developed some new things in Lingling? But several big families have strong opinions, and they have already been reflected in my ears. Wenlong, being good to the people is one thing, but It wouldn’t work without the support of the big family.”
Chen Long smiled and said: "General He, don't worry, it's just a different way of searching, you know! Those big players are our resources!"
He Miao burst out laughing and said, "Wen Long is so funny! If you have any needs in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you succeed!"
Along the way, Chen Long got a lot of useful information, and felt deeply that he was caught in the whirlpool of power struggles between relatives and eunuchs. But the current situation is like this, how can it be possible for me to stay out of it? Hey, it would be nice if Feng Xiao and Yuan Zhi were around.
The carriage stopped outside the palace, Chen Long got out of the car and looked at the magnificent palace, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar. I am about to meet the saint, what wonderful story will happen?
