”General director, the hussar general's army has arrived at the Luoyang's North Gate. They are camping right now.” Song Dian said excitedly with a face full of smiles. Can you imagine? The Grand General Ho Jin had actually gone to set up camp and gather food for the hussar general.
”So that's the case …” ”Zhang Jean's smile slowly faded from his face, and he frowned again.” Didn't Zhou Yong say that he wouldn't enter the Luoyang without the Emperor's orders? Now that there is no royal decree, why did he suddenly send his army to the Luoyang? ”
”Who knows why?” Song Dian didn't have any other thoughts. The fact that the Eunuch was able to return to the palace meant that Zhou Yong's army was working. You don't need to think too much. As long as Zhou Yong's army is here, no matter if it's He Jin or Dong Zhuo, don't dare to do anything to us? ”
”You're right. Let's go see the empress dowager.” Zhang Jean waved his hands, and the two of them walked towards the Changqiu Palace together. However, Zhang Jean was still muttering in his heart, could it be that Zhou Yong had come over at this time, also thinking of taking advantage of the chaos in Luoyang to the imperial government to get a share of the spoils?
The sunset could only make use of a small gap in the sky, as streaks of red light shot out and shone on the walls of the imperial palace, painting the entire imperial palace into a golden light, just like the last ray of light in Darkhan Dynasty.
Inside and outside the Changqiu Palace s were kneeling and crying loudly. The pain these Eunuch had been suppressing for a long time burst out at this moment. They used their wails to vent their grievances and helplessness, and used their tears to pour out their miserable lives. It was their crying and crying that announced the destruction of Darkhan Dynasty.
”Ah, empress dowager … The Tutor Yuan Wu used the name of the Great General to kill the eunuchs who had returned to their hometowns. Capturing the families and clans of the eunuchs was truly an unforgivable crime … Empress Dowager … ”You have to seek justice for the servants …” Inside the Changqiu Palace, those kneeling were all great eunuchs like the Chinese traditional medicine and Little Yellow Gate. The moment they returned to the palace, they were already prepared to launch a counterattack.
”Alright, alright, we'll investigate this thoroughly. If this really happens, I definitely won't let you off.” Empress Dowager He did not know whether it was He Jin or Yuan Wu who did it, so he could only deal with it first. There was one thing she understood. No matter if it was He Jin or Yuan Zhong, they could not move.
”Majesty, there is one thing that must be done without delay.” Zhang Jean waved his hand and everyone immediately quietened down: ”hussar general's army has arrived at Luoyang, they must use this opportunity to order all foreign troops to leave Luoyang and return to their own base. Even hussar general should return and camp in Hanoi.”
”Oh …” ”Why?” She could understand why she let the other foreign troops leave the Luoyang. She had let Zhou Yong's army come, and she had even hoped that Zhou Yong could remain in the Luoyang. If Zhou Yong's army left, wouldn't she have to see He Jin's face again?
”Empress Dowager, if these foreign generals stay in Luoyang, they will definitely interfere with the imperial government.” This was what Zhang Yang was worried about, for such a strong general like Zhou Yong to stay in Luoyang, how could he even have a chance to speak? Great General luring foreign troops into the capital has already broken the rule of the burly man. If we let the foreign generals interfere with the imperial government, there will be endless troubles in the future … ”
”But what if Zhou Yong's great army leaves, and the Great General wants to kick you out?” In fact, the Empress Dowager He was worried for himself, she did not want to live in the shadow of He Jin. This time, He Jin had led the troops into the capital, causing her to be extremely wary of He Jin.
”Empress Dowager, it's still the same old method. Let the Great General take control of the northern army, and let the cavalry general take control of the West Garden Army, the Empress Dowager will be able to rest in peace.” As long as the two brothers He Jin and He Miao mutually restricted each other, not only the empress dowager would have no worries, even the eunuchs would have no worries.
Empress Dowager He was a little hesitant. She was really a little reluctant to ask Zhou Yong to leave after a moment of comfort. But thinking about how Zhou Yong's great army would be right next to the Luoyang, she finally understood. Alright, issue the order immediately, and let all the foreign troops leave the Luoyang, and return to their respective locations. ”
”It's been three days. What are you doing? Why haven't you killed all of those adulterous castration s?!” Yuan Yuan glared at Yuan Shao angrily and bellowed. When he just left the imperial court and saw Eunuch returning to the Imperial Palace with an edict, Yuan Yuan's anger surged. He immediately summoned Yuan Shao and started reprimanding him right in front of his face.
Yuan Shao had just found out that Eunuch had returned to the Imperial Palace and was feeling depressed in his heart. Suddenly, he was yelled at by Yuan Gui, and his stomach was filled with grievance, ”Uncle and Uncle, you have killed dozens of people in the first two days, but from the third day onwards, Eunuch was so scared that he did not dare to leave the city.
”It's my fault that I was too lenient and failed to cut the grass at its roots.” At that time when Yuan Shao killed someone outside the city, it was also Yuan Zhong's idea, so Yuan Shao couldn't be blamed. This will be troublesome, once those Eunuch s return to the palace, they won't dare to do anything to the Great General, so they will definitely make a move on us. ”
”They wouldn't dare to either!” Yuan Shao laughed and said with complete confidence: ”We already have many armies at our disposal, if you make me anxious, you can come to the Luoyang City to kill them. Furthermore, Dong Zhuo is still stationed at the Sunset Pavilion. He is a butcher, Eunuch would not dare to offend him. ”
”Haven't you heard? hussar general's army of Zhou Yong's had already reached the Luoyang's North Gate and were camping. And, in order to curry favor with Zhou Yong, Great General had even personally gone to help him gather food. ” Yuan Yuan snorted coldly and said with disdain, ”With Zhou Yong's army here, how could Dong Zhuo dare to act rashly?”
