Chapter 282: Both conspiring
He Lian protected the eunuchs, and He Jin listened to the opinions of his subordinates to build momentum.
He Jin ordered Dong Zhuo to garrison troops in the east of Hedong, Ding Yuan to march to Hanoi, Wang Kuang to gather troops on Mount Tai, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, to lead troops to garrison Chenggao.
Although he could not lead his troops into Luoyang at will, his posturing and creating a situation where everyone in the world wanted to seek eunuchs seemed to show that they were united, but it also made He Lian feel endless threats.
He Jin summoned everyone to discuss the removal of eunuchs in the general's palace. Cao Cao gave suggestions, but was mocked by Yuan Shu, who said he "understands eunuchs."
Cao Cao became angry, and He Jin also reprimanded Yuan Shu for apologizing. Yuan Shu did not contradict Cao Cao. After apologizing with a low eyebrow, most people in the hall never mentioned Cao Cao's previous remarks.
After being angry, Cao Cao sighed helplessly. He also understood the intentions of these "little friends" around him.
The Ling Emperor is dead, and Shi Chang is here to help him get rid of him.
But obviously, it is not possible to get rid of the ten permanent servants. He Jin wants to win the hearts of the world with the blood of the ten permanent servants. There is probably no shortage of people among the general's subordinates who want to become famous with the blood of the ten permanent servants.
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves. How could Wang Kuang and Qiao Mao gather the county soldiers purely out of loyalty. No one would elaborate on this. At this time, Cao Cao finally discovered the key to getting rid of the ten permanent servants.
The ten constant attendants need to be vigorously removed, so that everyone can share in the rain and dew, which is a beautiful story.
"What has Liu Haoxuan been doing recently?" He Jin asked everyone to calm down the quarrel between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.
If you want to fight against the Shi Chang Shi with great vigor, Liu Cang is a presence that cannot be ignored. After all, he has a very close relationship with Zhang Rang.
I went to the General's Mansion early to cast fish, but the giant eagle hadn't even flown away yet, and Liu Cang had already sent a letter of apology.
Why do you want to give an arowana to the general for a taste? Why do you think the eagle has lost its wits and make a mistake in throwing it? Why do you think you will come to your door with generous gifts to apologize in the future?
It's all nonsense, it's clearly a demonstration!
Is it a big deal to raise a few furry beasts? I will immediately set up a sky-striking crossbow in the mansion!
The Sky Strike God Crossbow is not magical. It is difficult to shoot horizontally, but can adjust the attack angle above the horizontal direction. It can even shoot huge or scattered bed crossbows vertically into the sky. The projectile range is equivalent to the Seiko bed crossbow, up to
km.
This type of crossbow has been passed down from the Qin Dynasty to the present, and has been included in the arsenals of all dynasties. Because the workmanship and materials are much more complicated than the bed crossbow. Compared with the bed crossbow, its practical value and cost performance are too low, and it has been mistakenly included in the arsenal.
Notes on armaments.
It wasn't until they saw the flock of Gu withered eagles created by Liu Cang that some people suddenly discovered that this kind of ballista might have been developed to deal with birds.
Crossbows are banned in the inner city of Luoyang without the emperor's order. Even the equipment in the imperial city is usually crossbows. However, He Jin is also a general. If he really wants to install some such things in the palace, no one will follow him.
Be more sincere.
"King Dongping is still building a road from Sanshanguan to Lubei County. Looking at its movement, it seems that there is a tendency to connect to a straight road." He Jin asked about Liu Cang, and Chen Lin responded.

"What is that bastard doing? There are already official connections between counties. Are you asking for a name?" He Jin muttered in confusion.
"General, Liu Cang seems to be heading north to build a road. Is he trying to take a straight road to the desert between Liang and Bin?" Cao Cao said suspiciously.
"He's still going to fight the barbarians?" He Jin was surprised.
"How is it possible? There is no limitless emergency, and there is no appointment from the central government, and the war is provoked for no reason? Haha, haha..." Kong Rong laughed and laughed twice, and found that no one seemed to cooperate with him.
Everyone frowned and thought, is it impossible?
It's hard for others to say, but it's hard to say for Liu Cang, a guy who made his fortune by plundering the Hu Qiang, and was able to go to the Qiang land and encourage uprisings after quelling any rebellion.
"Is Liu Cang short of money recently?" He Jin scanned the crowd and asked for confirmation.
"I haven't heard of any accidents in King Dongping's livestock feeding. His wedding could not be carried out due to the death of the late emperor. I have not seen him recruiting troops. Even if he recruits troops, his land reclamation has been fierce in recent years. It is speculated that the corn meal shipped from Funiu Mountain will be enough to cope with it. Military pay and food expenses." Chen Lin pondered.
In the Han Dynasty, people could grow corn for their own consumption, and there was no problem in selling cooked corn on the cob.
However, Liu Cang advocated that corn should be ground into powder when sold in large quantities. Almost no one in the Han Dynasty raised objections to this, as if corn should be sold this way, and no one even took it out to explain it in detail.
"If you're not short of money, then you're short of people?" He Jindu said.
"Liu Cang trains his troops and likes to let his soldiers fight. Doesn't he want to train his troops?" Yuan Shu guessed.
"Hiss~, is Liu Haoxuan really so vicious?" Seeing that many people were really thinking about it, Kong Rong took a breath and asked.
"Evil? This boy is bold and has a plundering streak. In short, he is definitely up to no good." He Jin frowned.
"Don't take care of him yet. If he stirs up disputes in the border areas, he can be punished. Now that an army has been selected to enter Sanshan Pass to restrain him, we may take this opportunity to intervene in Linyuan affairs." He Jin told everyone. said.
From the outside world, Liu Cang lived in seclusion and rarely socialized with others. For a while, no one knew the details of Liu Cang's situation. Most of their thoughts were speculations, and their thoughts turned to He Jin's ideas.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to enter the pass. Just garrison the pass. Ding Yuan's temperament is difficult to determine. Although he doesn't depend on the eunuchs, Shao is worried that he will fall to the side of the Queen Mother. Xiliang Dong Zhuo is the best choice, and the general still needs to urge him as soon as possible Send troops." Yuan Shao suggested.
Since Liu Cang's army robbed He Jin in the early years, most people present had a clear understanding of Liu Cang's arrogance. Yuan Shao once again mentioned the transfer of troops, Cao Cao sighed and said nothing, and Chen Lin was somewhat worried.
Everyone was talking about it, and He Jin seemed to prefer the power of the eunuchs who were listening to the army. With your words and my words, the ten permanent servants seemed to have become everyone's bag.
The smile on He Jin's face became thicker and thicker, and he ordered people to closely monitor the movements of Shanglinyuan and Lubei County. He also asked Yuan Shu to send military officials to monitor the eunuchs in the palace.
Huangfu Song also took away all the military power from his old ministers, and he also had some control over the palace guards. He Jin quietly considered Cao Cao's earlier suggestion, and seeing that his subordinates were in a high mood to eliminate thieves, he gave up Cao Cao's suggestion in a blink of an eye, and was very concerned about the current situation.
It's satisfying.
While He Jin and others were discussing how to get rid of the eunuchs, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong in the palace were also discussing He Jin's affairs.
However, compared to the enthusiasm here in He Jin, in the dark hut, a group of dozens of eunuchs all had cold faces and determined eyes.
"He has decided to kill me no matter how far he goes. Everyone, please stop fighting. Disaster is imminent." Zhao Zhong said coldly.
"Humph, if you hadn't wanted to get close to the noble family and just wanted to please He Jin, why would you have been in trouble today?" Qu Mu scolded with a sullen face.
"If it weren't for the Queen Mother's trust in the Za family, would you still be alive to make noise here?" Zhao Zhong retorted sarcastically.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. It's not difficult to get rid of He Jin, but how can we arrange the funeral properly?" Zhang Rang stopped the two people from arguing.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is quite calm. Now is the time for your nephew-in-law to help, so why are you avoiding us now?" Sun Zhang curled his lips and mocked.
"You bitch, shut up. There are so many people in Luoyang who want to kill me. We, the guards in the palace, can still mediate, but if we can't advance, how can we deal with the leaders outside the palace?" Zhang Rang scolded, and everyone continued.
It's to discourage.
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Zhang. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can make arrangements?" Bi Lan asked after stopping Sun Zhang who wanted to retort.
"It's not appropriate yet. Why are there so many guards in Luoyang's gates? Don't trust them easily. Liu Cang is being watched very closely. There will be disaster if he leads the army into the city." Everyone looked anxious, and Zhang Rang raised his hand to stop him.
"Nowadays, the reorganization of the Eighth Battalion of Xiyuan is unreliable, but the commanders of each battalion are also unable to predict the newly recruited soldiers."
"Liu Cang is quite famous in the army. I want to let Liu Cang enter the city alone and use his power to control the troops when there is chaos. The Za family has done their best. Do you have any complaints?" Zhang Rang asked.
"This... Mr. Zhang, please don't blame the miscellaneous family members. As things are different now, will Liu Cang be in danger for this?" Zhao Zhong questioned.
"Hey, let's find an opportunity. This is something we need to discuss." Zhang Rang sighed.
In recent years, Liu Cang's character has been difficult to understand, and even now, he is not sure. Moreover, occasionally Zhang Rang would even hope that Liu Cang would not get involved. Now Zhang Rang's mood is very contradictory.
"If the Queen Mother is here, the guards in the palace will not dare to act arrogantly. But if you want to kill someone, you need to carefully select your close friends and give them benefits." Zhao Zhong said lightly.
"He Jin thought that he could control the North Palace by transferring the city gate captain? Haha, the late emperor was wise and changed the north palace into the harem. The south palace city gate captain will still be ours."
"The execution of He Jin can be carried out in the Jiade Palace. When it is done, a trusted person will be elected to take charge of the Sili Xiaowei and Henan Yin to prevent lawlessness."
"However, He Jin's minions outside the palace are causing trouble in the meantime. King Dongping is extremely brave. If he can get King Dongping to guard the Nine Dragon Gate, we may be able to survive this crisis." Zhao Zhong elaborated, and everyone couldn't help but nod.
"If you call King Dongping, you must not speak directly about our affairs. Firstly, to prevent the matter from being exposed, and secondly, to prevent King Dongping from evading it." Sun Zhang was cautious.
"Of course." Everyone nodded in agreement and looked at Zhang Rang.
"Is it okay that Queen Mother Yan wants her sister to get married to King Dongping? Didn't Duke Zhang also care about this matter in his early years?" Sun Zhang spoke lightly again, earning everyone a blank stare.
"The late Emperor has done a great job, so talking about marriage is unreasonable." Zhao Zhong looked away at Sun Zhang angrily.
Zhang Rang frowned, nodded hesitantly for a moment, and then said: "Let's talk about giving him an official position, but when the matter is completed, Liu Cang will take the post of general."
"Haha, if King Dongping helps us succeed, there will be no one more qualified for the position of general than him." Everyone looked at each other for a moment and agreed tacitly.
"We can invite He Jin and Liu Cang to the palace in the name of the Queen Mother. All I need is that my brother will keep Liu Cang at Jiulongmen for a while. When we get rid of He Jin, Mr. Zhang will immediately seek help from him. If He Jin dies, I will come to Liu Cang."
I will not abandon Mr. Zhang." Zhang Rang said nothing, while Zhao Zhong elaborated.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang doesn't need to worry. If you conceal anything, we can just apologize later. It will definitely not cause discord in Mr. Zhang's family." After Zhao Zhong, Sun Zhang said with a smile.
A group of eunuchs tried to appease Zhang Rang, and finally decided to trick He into entering the palace and take his life.
It is said that a group of eunuchs were strict and ruthless in handling affairs, but they were much more ruthless than He Jin's group.
