Chapter 84 Out of Control
More than a hundred sharp arrows broke through the air and penetrated He Jin's body. Blood splashed. He Jin's eyes gradually lost their figure and fell to the ground dejectedly. At that moment, he understood a lot of things. Although he did not mean to kill the Ten Changshi, Yuan Shao and others' aggressive actions and his inaction over the past period of time finally made the Ten Changshi pass on this hatred to him, and in the end he was still used as a gun!
But even if he dies, who will the military power in Luoyang fall into? Since those scholars have planned this way, they may not give Zhang Rang and others a chance to turn things around, right?
When Zhang Rang and others came to He Jin's side, He Jin was already angry, but there was no pain or despair on his face. Instead, he had an unknown smile, which looked a little strange under the light of the torch's unresolved destruction.
Zhao Zhong shivered unconsciously and looked at the others and said, "Why did the Tu family die but smile on his face?"
Zhang Rang also felt a little cold on his back, shook his head and said, "Don't care about that many. Now He Jin died. There are no leaders in various Luoyang troops. It is the time when we collect military power. Zhao Gong and Bi Lan, you quickly took He Jin's head and went outside the palace to collect the army in the name of the Empress Dowager. The rest of the Duke will follow me to Yong'an Palace. If you can hold the Empress Dowager and the Emperor hostage, great things will be expected!"
At this time, I didn't care about my loyalty to the late emperor. The late emperor was dead and could no longer protect them. The living people had to continue to live. At this time, only by holding the queen mother and the emperor hostage could he master the court.
"Here!" Zhao Zhong and Bi Lan agreed quickly, stepped forward and cut He Jin's head, and took a group of soldiers to the palace gate. Zhang Rang took the others to rush towards the Yong'an Palace.
When Zhao Zhong climbed to the city, he saw that Yuan Shao and a large number of soldiers outside the palace gate had surrounded the palace gate. Torches were densely packed with torches, and they were used here like fire dragons. He couldn't help but jumped in his heart. He felt something was wrong. He quickly asked Bi Lan to take out He Jin's head and threw it under the city wall. He shouted: "He Jin invaded the emperor and made trouble. He was executed according to His Majesty's order. The emperor was kind and the rest could be forgiven. If you don't let go of your weapons quickly, will you want to rebel?"
When He Jin's head fell to the ground, many soldiers were suddenly panicked. He Jin was the general and the leader of the three armed forces in Luoyang. Now that He Jin died, these soldiers were panicked and didn't know where to go. Many people immediately wanted to put down their weapons. After all, they were eating imperial food. At this time, He Jin died, so naturally he had to listen to the palace.
In the crowd, Wang Yun suddenly twisted his bow and shot an arrow at Zhao Zhong. Unfortunately, he was not a warrior. Although he knew some archery skills, he had lost his accuracy when he shot it so far. He fell on the armored soldiers next to him, but could not penetrate the armored soldiers.
Yuan Shao strode out and said loudly: "Don't listen to the false words of the eunuchs. Zhao Zhong, you and others have ulterior motives and harm the loyal and kind. The general did not want blood to splash the palace. He tolerated you and others in every way. Instead of being grateful, you brutally killed him. If you don't kill you today, it's hard to tolerate the law of heaven. The three armies will not break the palace gate and kill the treacherous and slander!"
Once He Jin died, if they wanted to take over military power in a legitimate manner, they must have an imperial edict. If they retreated at this moment, the military power would belong to the Ten Constables, which is something that Yuan Shao would never allow.
"Kill~" You He Jin's former confidant Wu Kuang brought a knife forward, slashed at the palace gate, and shouted loudly: "Avenge the General!"
Wang Yunze organized people to pile up firewood outside the palace gate. A soldier held a torch to ignite the firewood. In an instant, the blazing flames burned half of the sky red.
Zhao Zhong never expected this to be the result. The soldiers in the palace had never experienced such a formation, and the number of enemies was several times theirs. Even though many soldiers fled in panic, these soldiers were mostly dealt with without fighting formations. They were almost killed by He Jin and were surrounded by He Jin. Now they faced the Five Northern Army Schools and the new soldiers who were well-trained, and they did not have any intention of fighting?
The generals under the city had already organized archers to shoot arrows into the palace. Zhao Zhong stopped drinking several times but could not stop the soldiers in the palace who were completely scared. Seeing arrows coming up again, he had no choice but to escape with his confidants and go to Yong'an Palace to meet with Zhang Rang and others, hoping to take Liu Bian, which would make the scholars a little afraid.
Without the guardians of the armor, Yuan Shao commanded the palace gate to open. After all, it was the imperial palace rather than the city gate. The palace gate was solemn and dignified, but its defense was secondary. Yuan Shao only bumped the palace gate a few times before breaking open. The soldiers guarding behind the palace gate could still show off their power against these Northern Army soldiers in their daily lives, but at this moment, he looked at the surging Northern Army soldiers and the new Xiyuan army, but he could only escape in panic. Even if there were occasionally a few arrogant people who wanted to fight back, they would soon be destroyed by the surging crowds, unable to stir up any waves.
As the army poured into Qingsuomen, the entire palace became in chaos.
"Stop!" In the distance, a group of people and horses galloped towards this side. The leader was He Jin's younger brother He Miao. When he came to the palace gate, he saw a large number of soldiers pouring into the palace gate under Yuan Shao's command. He couldn't help but be furious and shouted sternly: "Yuan Benchu, do you want to rebel?"
Yuan Shao turned around and looked at He Miao, with a cold look on his face. Wu Kuang, who was beside him, stepped forward and said sternly: "He Miao, the general is now murdered by the eunuch temple, are you satisfied!?"
"What!?" He Miao was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, a general rushed out from behind Yuan Shao and rushed to He Miao. It was Feng Fang, a captain of the Right Army. Taking advantage of He Miao's cold stall, he stabbed a long spear into He Miao's chest and abdomen. He shouted sternly: "If this villain hadn't secretly entered the eunuch temple, how could there be a disaster today? This thief should have been killed!"
"Feng Fang, what are you doing?" Wu Kuang was furious when he saw this, and then went up and slashed at Feng Fang. Although he was not satisfied with He Miao's approaching the eunuch temple, he was He Jin's confidant after all. No matter what, He Miao was He Jin's younger brother. Even if he was wrong, this matter had nothing to do with him. How could he kill people so hasty?
"I'm avenging the general!" Feng Fang quickly raised his gun to hold Wu Kuang's big knife and said in a deep voice.
"Don't make a fuss!" Yuan Shao turned over and looked at the two men fighting each other, and said in a deep voice: "It is important to kill the Ten Constellations at this time. If you don't follow me to enter the palace, if you let the eunuch temple rob the Holy Lord, we will be sinners!"
When Feng Fang heard this, he agreed and was about to turn around, but he saw Wu Kuang step forward and take a knife down. With Feng Fang's roar of shock and anger, he knocked him down with one knife!
Yuan Shao frowned slightly when he saw this. After all, Feng Fang was instructed by him to kill He Miao. Now Wu Kuang killed people directly, which made him feel a little unhappy, but he didn't care about that much at this time, and just said, "Go away!" and went straight to the palace.
Wu Kuang looked at Yuan Shao, snorted coldly, went straight to recruit He Miao's men and then followed him into the palace.
The palace was broken, and it was also broken, and there was also a bottom line in the hearts of these soldiers. These Luoyang soldiers belonged to He Jin on weekdays, and many of them obeyed the emperor earlier. In their hearts, the palace was a sacred and inviolable place. At this moment, the palace was broken by them with their own hands. At the moment the palace gate was broken, the respect for the palace in their hearts completely collapsed.
These people entered the palace, even more cruel than the bandits. Countless yellow gates did not ask the reason, but they were killed when they met. The palace maids and pick girls ran around, many of them were killed directly, and some were dragged into the nearby palace by some soldiers while the people were not paying attention. The entire Beigong seemed to be boiling, with screams, cries, and scolding. However, these already crazy soldiers laughed and rushed to all directions, chopping people when they saw them, and robbed treasures. Even some sober generals were difficult to control the situation.
Success!
At the palace gate, looking at the palace and the chaos in front of you, Yuan Shao and Wang Yun could see the panic in each other's eyes. Things seemed a little different from what they imagined, and these troops showed signs of being out of control.
"Stop! What do you want to do when you are waiting?" Wang Yun saw a soldier dragging a girl to the palace and rushed up angrily to lift his sword to kill him, but he could stop this one, but he could not stop more.
"Benchu, what's going on! What should I do?" Wang Yun looked at the army that was no longer in formation and had lost control, and looked at Yuan Shao in panic. They just wanted to kill the Ten Generals and then ask the emperor for an edict. Now the situation has exceeded his expectations.
"Crazy!" Yuan Shao had led the troops after all, and knew the morale of the army. After the initial shock, he reacted and secretly called a mistake and shouldn't have sent troops into the palace.
"For the sake of this plan, we will find Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager first, ask for the tiger talisman and edict, and then rectify the military discipline!" After thinking about it, Yuan Shao said to Wang Yun.
"That's all!" Wang Yun smiled bitterly, after joining his confidants with Yuan Shao, he ignored the somewhat crazy rioters and headed straight towards Yong'an Palace.
Outside the palace gate, Cao Cao felt something was wrong when he left He Jin's mansion. He heard the sound of fighting in the direction of Beigong, and he felt something was wrong. He quickly mobilized his troops to Beigong. Compared to Yuan Shao and others, He Jin showed more trust in Cao Cao after some things, and Cao Cao could also mobilize some military power. However, when he led his troops to the palace, he couldn't help but feel sank at the burning siege and the wide open palace gate.
"You, go to Hulao Pass quickly and inform General Wei, and then say that there is something wrong in Luoyang. Please send troops to rescue him quickly!" Cao Cao was a little confused. He never expected that things would go back to this step. Looking at the soldiers who were rushing around in the palace, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, attracted a confidant, and shouted sternly.
"Here!" the confidant agreed, turned around and left in a hurry.
