Chapter 41 Fighting for the Northern Army's military power (1)
"If you want to seize the military power of the Northern Army and control the left and right guards and left troops of the Xiyuan Army, you must take He Miao or kill him. Wang Kuang is a man who values friendship and unites with us in order to avenge He Jin. I have reached an agreement with Wang Kuang on behalf of Lord Wang, who helps him seize the military power of the Northern Army and left troops of the Xiyuan Army, and we must help him kill He Miao! Lord's idea is to completely control the entire Xiyuan Army, so we must kill He Miao or capture He Miao, and hand him over to Wang Kuang for disposal. After Lord took control of the government, Wang Kuang was sent to the local area as a local official!"
Speaking of this, Li Ru smiled and said, "We had already sent someone to bribe the servants in He Miao's mansion. We learned that he had a concubine outside. From the bribed servants, he learned that he was at the concubine's house tonight, not at the General Cheqi Mansion. Liu Cheng, who is a man of war, is actually quite scheming. Can he also calculate the key to the Northern Army? Maybe he has asked the emperor to issue an order to send someone to the General Cheqi Mansion, so we must send someone to his concubine's house before the eunuch who announced the order arrived at the General Cheqi Mansion. If he couldn't catch him, then kill him!"
"Hu Che'er!" Li Ru said this and turned his head to look at a strong man with a strong body and a little barbarian bloodline.
It turned out that the strong man was named Hu Cheer. He stood up and said with a gulp: "The last one is here!"
"You bring hundreds of people to capture He Miao. If he resists fiercely, then kill him! Remember, whether it is dead or alive, you must bring it back to me. You must never let him escape!"
"I will obey the order!" Hu Cheer left with his fists.
Dong Zhuo put down the knife that cuts his flesh, got up and walked to the hall and asked, "Wenyou, what is the chance of winning?"
Li Ru stretched out his thumb and little finger: "At least Liu Liufen!"
······
After nightfall, the streets of Luoyang City seemed a little quiet, and occasionally you could hear a few barking dogs. Liu Cheng and Zhao Chun took the 200 personal troops out of the palace to a crossroads, heading forward to the direction of the Northern Army camp, and turning right toward the direction of the General's Mansion of the Cheqi and Cavalry.
"Lu——" Liu Cheng stopped and said to Zhao Chun: "Eunuch Zhao, in order to save time and prevent Dong Zhuo from directly sending people to the Northern Army camp to seize power, you and I will act separately. I will ask Wang Shuang to lead fifty personal soldiers to escort you to the General Cheqi Mansion to announce the imperial edict. I will take the imperial edict and the remaining people directly to the Northern Army camp, which is limited to a quarter of an hour. If you do not come within a quarter of an hour, it means that there is an accident in the General Cheqi Mansion. I will directly announce the imperial edict to the soldiers of the Northern Army to control the military power!"
Zhao Chun said in confusion: "Is the general worried that Dong Zhuo will attack General Cheqi?"
"It's not that there is no possibility. Both sides know that tonight is the key time for success or failure. He Miao is a man with great importance, so they will not turn a blind eye to him!"
"Then our family will say goodbye!" Zhao Chun bowed to Liu Cheng and headed towards the general's mansion. Wang Shuang took fifty personal soldiers to escort him to the direction of the chariot and cavalry.
"Brothers, come with me!" Liu Cheng waved his hand and ran towards the North Army barracks. One hundred and fifty personal soldiers behind him were holding spears and swords around his waist were arranged in neat teams following behind.
After only a few minutes of running, Liu Cheng led his team to the entrance of the Northern Army barracks. He saw that the gate of the military barracks was brightly lit, and more than a dozen soldiers wearing Xiliang military uniforms stood guard. Through the light, you could see blood on the ground.
"The person who comes is stopping. This is the important place of the military camp. The idle people take a detour. Otherwise, they will be killed without any reason!" A Xiliang military chief walked out with his sword and shouted.
"Xiliang Army?" Liu Cheng was shocked. He immediately realized that Dong Zhuo had taken the lead. He immediately took Po Juntong from the Desheng hook and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill in!"
"Kill--" One hundred and fifty personal soldiers ran behind Liu Cheng one after another.
"Go to die!" The Red Rabbit Horse carried Liu Cheng to the highway in a very short time. He swept and swept the Po Juntong in his hand. The soldiers on Xiliang who were standing guard only came to remember to see a fiery red shadow jumping over. They couldn't react at all. They fell to the ground one by one like harvesting wheat, and the weapons fell to the ground and made constant noises.
When the personal soldiers behind arrived, there were only a few seriously injured and screaming Xiliang soldiers on the ground wailing. They all took action to kill these Xiliang soldiers and then rushed into the military camp.
At this time, the school field in the military camp was bright, and nearly 20,000 soldiers were gathering tensely with torches. On the general stage, Wu Fu, Zhou Wei, Xu Rong and others were each leading their own lieutenant subordinates to command their soldiers and generals to arrange them into a team.
Hua Xiong and Pan Yin stood on one side with several military heads. The nearly 200 troops they brought stood at the dock and surrounded the dock and the dock and the dock and the dock and the dock were there.
There are more and more teams on the school field, and the various departments have almost completed assembly. Wu Fu turned his mind to Pan Yin and Hua Xiong with the hilt in his hand, saying, "Eunuch Pan, the troops of the three lieutenants have been assembled. Should we check the imperial edict and tiger talismans for us?"
At Hua Xiong's instructions, Pan Yin immediately took a roll of yellow silk from a small eunuch next to him and started to recite: "According to the emperor's decree, the current general He Miao deceived the emperor and planned to rebel and rebel. He was dismissed from his post and imprisoned for crimes. The Northern Army was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Duwei Hua Xiong. The chief officials of each school lieutenant must obey Hua Xiong's dispatch. No mistakes must be made. I respect this!"
The 20,000 soldiers on the school ground didn't know what happened. The heads and subordinates of the three lieutenants on the stage were immediately in chaos after hearing the imperial edict. The infantry lieutenant Zhou Xu was He Miao's direct subordinate. He immediately shouted: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could the general of the chariot and cavalry deceive the emperor and plot against rebellion? Pan Yin and others must be falsely passing the imperial edict and bring the imperial edict to the official!" Then they stepped forward to ask for the imperial edict.
Pan Yin turned his head and looked at Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong kept Li Ru's advice in mind, plastered Pan Yin with a color, asked him to hand over the imperial edict to Zhou Xi, and then make a decision after seeing Zhou Xi's reaction.
Zhou Xi took the imperial edict from Pan Yin and looked at it. He immediately fell to the ground and pointed at Pan Yin and shouted: "Bold Pan Yin, Hua Xiong, dare to fake the imperial edict. Come and take them all down for me!"
Pan Yin was shocked and stepped back and pointed at Zhou Yu and furious: "Zhou Yu, how dare you disobey the sage? This is a serious crime of beheading!"
"What do you mean to him?" Hua Xiong was prepared for a long time, and immediately drew his sword and rushed forward and slashed Zhou Xi.
Zhou Xi was not a real military general, but just a civil servant spoke. Although he knew a little swordsmanship, he was just practicing when exercising his muscles and bones on weekdays. He was not an opponent of a powerful general like Hua Xiong. He was cut into two pieces without even taking a move, and blood spilled all over the floor.
The fierce Hua Xiong looked at the officials of the two lieutenants including Wu Fu and Xu Rong, with a bloody sword in his hand, and said coldly: "Who else dares to disobey the imperial edict? The outcome is just like him!"
Seeing this scene, the officials of the Tunqi Certificate and Yueqi Certificate were all heartbroken, and many people began to tremble in their calves.
"Don't panic!" Wu Fu turned his head in dissatisfaction and looked at the officials and generals who were reaching out, and turned to Pan Yin and said, "Eunuch Pan, you should know that if you want to take over military power, you must have a tiger talisman. Where is the tiger talisman?"
The role of the tiger talisman is beyond doubt for the army. Most of the time, the tiger talisman is more effective than the imperial edict, because the imperial edict can only appoint and remove commanders and command the army to fight against whom, while the tiger talisman can mobilize the army. The Northern Army has no nominal commander, and the Northern Army is just an inspector. On weekdays, the various lieutenants and the divisions of the school lieutenants do not belong to each other and do not interfere with each other. The command of the entire Northern Army means two rights: command and dispatch. The command of the imperial edict requires appointment and removal, and the military power requires inspection of the tiger talisman. He Miao was able to control the Northern Army because he had half a tiger talisman of the Tunqi Clerk, Yueqi Clerk and infantry Clerk.
"General Hua, show him the tiger talisman!" Pan Yin said to Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong took out three tiger talismans from his left hand, which were the three and a half tiger talismans of the Tunqi, Yueqi and the infantry captain. For Wu Fu and Xu Rong, the officials in the army could recognize at a glance that these three and a half tiger talismans were definitely real.
A sudden arrow sounded.
Just listen to a scream from the station: "Ah—"
Everyone looked along the screams and saw a sharp arrow piercing through the eunuch Pan Yin's shoulder pocket. He covered the part of the arrow and fell to the ground and screamed repeatedly.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves and neat footsteps sounded from afar. These neat footsteps were from far to near. Both the soldiers and generals on the stage and on the school ground could see clearly that a general with a helmet and armor was riding a tall war horse wearing silver armor and running quickly.
