Chapter 5 Tiger Ben Wang Yue

Liu Cheng knew that this matter must not be hidden from Empress Dowager He, and said truthfully: "When I returned to the escort agency, this person was scrambling soldiers to kill and rob people in the escort agency. More than 60 of our escort agency died at the hands of the escort agency. Then I killed those escorts, but I didn't expect to attract Chunyu Qiong. After a big fight between us, this person was pierced by me and fled under the protection of the soldiers. The reason why I chose the right school to take action is not just to avenge my personal revenge!"

"It's just a matter of public and private!" Empress Dowager He smiled, and then said seriously: "Okay, tomorrow morning you impeach Chunyu Qiong. The Ai family will let His Majesty entrust Chunyu Qiong to the military power, and you will take over it. The troops of the right school in Xiyuan will be transferred into the palace as an imperial guard!"

Liu Cheng was busy: "No!"

Queen Mother He was surprised: "Why?"

"Empress Dowager, this matter cannot be resolved through the court. The Yuan family's four generations and three dukes are too powerful in the court. If I openly impeach Chunyu Qiong, the Yuan family's forces in the court will definitely not agree. After all, I am the party involved and have no persuasion. Moreover, Dong Zhuo is worried that he will not be able to intervene in the military affairs of Luoyang. Even if he supports me to impeach Chunyu Qiong, he may not support me to command the soldiers of the right school. This matter can only be issued by Your Majesty. The imperial edict will be handed directly to me without the discussion of the ministers, and it will be successful!"

"········Well, it makes sense!" Empress Dowager He nodded after thinking for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Liu Qing, what do you think if the Ai family asks His Majesty to send an order to transfer Huangfu Song to lead his army back to Luoyang?"

Liu Cheng was shocked. Empress Dowager He actually discussed such military and national affairs with someone who had known him for less than a day. He did not think that Empress Dowager He had extremely trusted him, which only means that Empress Dowager He was really no one available at this time and no one could entrust major affairs. He hurriedly bowed: "Empress Dowager, you must not be able to transfer Huangfu Song to lead the army at this time. Although the Western Expedition Army defeated the rebels of the Kingdom, the kingdom was also abolished by Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, the rebel forces were still there. Han Sui, Ma Teng and others had more than 100,000 troops, and the Qiang people were not convinced by our Han rule, and they were ready to move for a long time. If there was no General Huangfu guarding in Guanzhong, it would be a mess!"

"Besides, this matter is of great importance. Issuing an edict to Huangfu Song must pass through the ministers in the court. Dong Zhuo certainly will not agree, and most other ministers in the court will not agree. Huangfu Song came from a family of generals and valued rules. If Your Majesty does not pass the edict to the ministers in the court, it will be inconsistent with the rules and regulations. Huangfu Song will definitely not obey the edict and will damage the emperor's majesty in vain!"

After hearing Liu Cheng's analysis, Empress Dowager He agreed: "Liu Cheng, the Ai family agrees with your idea and pull Chunyu Qiong off the horse. You will lead the troops in the right school of Xiyuan. However,......Ai family wants to send Pan Yin as your Sima, are you willing?"

Pan Yin? Is that eunuch who proclaimed the imperial edict? Liu Cheng's heart flashed with the eunuch who led him into the palace. Pan Yin, a eunuch, did not know how to govern the army? Empress Dowager He asked Pan Yin to be a military squad for him just to monitor him. He didn't care and bowed and said, "Everything will be decided by the empress dowager!"

"Come, go and invite the emperor to come!" Empress Dowager He didn't care at this time and directly sent someone to call Liu Bian. She said to Liu Cheng again: "Since you want to lead the army, wearing this regular suit lacks a little killing spirit! Come, take General Liu to the arsenal to choose a set of armor and weapons!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager!" A middle-aged eunuch agreed and shook the whisk to Liu Cheng: "General Liu, please come with our family!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Liu Cheng bowed to Empress Dowager He and left with the middle-aged eunuch.

On the way to the arsenal, the middle-aged eunuch looked at Liu Cheng from time to time. The eunuch had just heard all the conversation between Liu Cheng and Empress Dowager He and knew that Liu Cheng was afraid of being developed. He observed Liu Cheng for a while and seemed to have made a decision. He bowed to Liu Cheng: "General Liu, our Zhao Chun, Your Majesty, and the Empress Dowager all have great trust in the general. Now he has held important positions and will definitely rise to the top. In the future, he will ask the generals to take care of him!"

"Oh? Eunuch Zhao and Pan Yin are both people around the Empress Dowager. Are you?" Liu Cheng was very confused about Zhao Chun's sudden words.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Chun hurriedly bowed to Liu Cheng: "Pan Yin had a unclear relationship with He Jin in the past, and he was not a member of us. Foreign ministers would not find him even if they wanted to eliminate the eunuchs. To be honest, our family is the youngest brother of the Central General Zhao Zhong. Foreign ministers hated us eunuchs to the core. Yesterday, my brother was already injured by Yuan Shao and others. I am afraid that they will soon be settled on our family. The empress dowager is now unable to protect herself, but I am afraid that our family will not be able to protect us. Our family is desperate. Please ask the general to give me a mercy and protect me well. In the future, Zhao will follow this body only if the Lord is ordered to follow!"

"Eunuch Zhao is so serious. This troubled times are coming. Let's take care of each other!" Liu Cheng agreed after thinking about it, and reached out to support Zhao Chun. The news that Zhao Zhong is Zhao Chun's elder brother is not difficult to verify. There is no need for Zhao Chun to lie about this matter.

The arsenal is in the northeast corner of the Beigong Palace. The north side of the arsenal is Taicang. The palace transformation only occurred in Nangong last night, and the Beigong was not affected.

"According to the oral order of the Empress Dowager, I specially granted Lord Liu a set of armor and weapons to open the door!" Zhao Chun waved his hands to the several soldiers guarding the gate and shouted loudly.

"Yes!" A soldier took out the key and opened the door of the Tibetan soldiers' pavilion.

Zhao Chun and the guards were all left outside, and only Liu Cheng went to the arsenal to select.

The arsenal is very neat and it seems that people often clean it. At this time, the imperial power is still there, so the eunuchs and palace maids naturally dare not slacken. Daily cleaning is essential.

The weapons were placed on the rows of weapons, without any dust staining, and Liu Cheng was dazzled.

At this time a slight voice came into his ears, and he immediately became alert: "Who?"

Suddenly, a ray of light shone into his eyes. He grabbed a sword beside him and slashed forward without hesitation. A sharp sword stabbed over it. The sword slashed onto the sword. The sword was retracted and flipped over again. The sword immediately started to fight with the sword, and in the blink of an eye, he fought for more than a dozen moves.

Liu Cheng swept across the army with a knife in his hands. The man opposite immediately flew up and turned over and landed behind Liu Cheng in the air. Liu Cheng immediately turned around and confronted him, but found that the man was half-armed, with white gauze on his chest, and blood was faintly soaked in the gauze. This man was actually wearing the armor of the Hu Ben Army. The armor was already broken, and the man looked embarrassed on his face.

This man's swordsmanship was too clever. Although Liu Cheng was not injured during the past dozen confrontations, he was always being pressed and beaten. If it weren't for the sudden energy transformation of his body, he wouldn't be the opponent of this man at all.

"Who is the next new Yulin Central Army General Liu Cheng, who is you? Why are you hiding in this royal arsenal?"

"······Wang Yue, General Hu Ben!" The man hesitated for a moment, reported his name and official position, and asked again: "Where is the original Yulin Central Army General Bi Jing?"

Liu Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he is dead. Last night, the imperial guards were taken hostage by Zhang Rang, the attendant of the Central Secretariat, and others, and they were the ones who could save the guards. Today, they were rewarded for merit and were named the General of the Central Army by Your Majesty! Wait, wait, you said your name is Wang Yue, you are not the Wang Yue, the best swordsman in the world, right?"

"The best swordsman in the world is just a random call from some good people. Even if I have the best swordsman in the world, I am powerless to turn the world under the mutiny of yesterday. The power of one person is limited after all. The great Han imperial city was actually killed by chaos, and even the emperor was taken hostage and fled by eunuchs. How unfortunate is this? This is all our incompetence! The late emperor is above, and I am incompetent and unable to protect Your Majesty's safety. I am guilty of being entrusted by the late emperor. I am guilty of death, and I am guilty of death!" Wang Yue said as he was about to commit suicide with his sword. He knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Liu Cheng was shocked and immediately stopped him with a knife, advising: "Why should General Wang do this?"

After saying this, he moved his heart and quickly helped Wang Yue up and said, "General Wang, the imperial guards were gone during the palace transformation last night. Even if there were still people alive, they would probably be dispersed and escaped from the palace. Now, there are no people around His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Dong Zhuo of Xiliang led a large army to come, probably because of a bad intention. Now, except for two hundred people inside and outside the palace, everyone else is Dong Zhuo's men. The ministers in the court have different hearts, but I am afraid that there are many people who have already had the intention of being disobedient. At this critical moment, the general must not seek short-sighted views. We should be united in one heart and one's morality, protecting His Majesty and protecting the Han Dynasty, so that we can live up to the grace of the late emperor and His Majesty!"

Wang Yue was ashamed of Liu Cheng's words, and he calmed down and asked, "General Liu said this very well, and I almost made a big mistake again. Now I am in chaos. I wonder what General Liu has to think?"

Liu Cheng said: "If you want to compete with Dong Zhuo and the ministers of the court with different hearts, and to protect His Majesty, we must have military power in hand. I have discussed this with the Empress Dowager and will soon get the imperial edict to go to the Xiyuan Army to take over the military power of the Right Army. However, now we know very little about things outside the palace. What are the plans of those ministers, patriarchs from various provinces, generals of the army, and Dong Zhuo, and what are their actions? We know nothing about them, so someone must go outside the palace to act and form a team of people to inquire about the information from all parties. In this way, we can advance and retreat freely, but there is no suitable candidate now!"

Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and he immediately recommended himself, saying, "General Liu, Wang no longer has the face to stay in the palace and is about to leave the palace. In the past, he was once a hero and righteous man in the world, and he has a certain reputation among the knights everywhere. Now, many of the guards and guards in the capital have old friends and houses, and it is easy to inquire about the news. If General Liu does not abandon him, Wang will gather his disciples after leaving the palace and contact the knights in the world to form a team of people in the world! However, the general is supported by the general alone in the court, and forming a team of people in the city requires a lot of money, otherwise it is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed."

Liu Cheng was overjoyed and said to Wang Yue: "It's great that General Wang can do it. I will report to Your Majesty what the general is doing. At that time, a secret department will be formed, called Shadow Guard, which will not be announced to the public for the time being. General Wang will serve as the commander of the Shadow Guard and will be in charge of all the affairs of Shadow Guard. The order is greater than 1,500 stones, and I will be directly responsible for me. General Wang doesn't have to worry about the affairs in the court. I have a way to deal with Dong Zhuo and the ministers. In addition, I used to be Yang in the city.

The young escort leader of the Wu Escort Agency, now there is no more Yangwu Escort Agency. I hid a batch of money in the dry well in the backyard of the escort agency. They were all burned, killed, plundered and robbed by the escort soldiers last night. After I killed these people, I hid the gold and silver they stolen in the dry well. General Wang can take his disciples to take it out after he goes out. Remember that the team must be organized in a strict manner and the family rules are strictly enforced. Do not do anything else, otherwise things will be unsecret and it will be easy to get rid of things!"
