Lu Zhi and Eunuch looked at each other angrily, the atmosphere in the hall immediately becoming extremely tense. Duan Gui suddenly took out his longsword, pointed at Lu Zhi and said angrily: ”Quickly, open the city gates, let hussar general enter the city, and let hussar general's army protect the palace.”
Lu Zhi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left.
”He Miao has more than a thousand servants and henchmen under her command, how can we let them kill him so easily?” Song Dian looked at Lu Zhi's retreating back, and said regretfully: ”If I knew He Miao was such a scum, I should have called the hussar general into the city yesterday.”
”I thought I could control the situation. Who would have thought that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, these two traitorous thieves, would dare to burn the palace doors?” Zhang Fu waved his hands, turned his head and looked towards the north, and said helplessly: ”It's too late to regret now, looks like only Yang Lin can beg us now.”
”Even though the hussar general is just outside the city, but are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two bastards able enough to let his army enter the city?” Song Dian looked at Zhang Jean in confusion, and shook his head in disbelief: ”They must have already closed the city gates, and Luoyang City is so sturdy, that even if he wanted to, he cannot break through.”
”Yang Lin is a fool, he would never attack the city.” ”Tonight, we will bring the Son of Heaven out of the city. After we reach Yang Lin's camp, we will have Yang Lin escort the Son of Heaven back to the palace. Yuan Zhong and those other gangsters will die.”
”What?” Zhang Lie wants to let the hussar general's army enter the city to protect the Son of Heaven? ” Yuan Yuan couldn't help but sneer when he heard the conditions Lu Zhi had to bring back. Looks like these adulterous castration s really thought that Yang Lin's great army was still having beautiful dreams even after reaching the North Gate. ” Don't bother about him, Yang Lin's army is still far away. ”
”Ah …” Master Tutor, you aren't mistaken, right? Grand General Ho Jin welcomed the previous hussar general outside the North Gate yesterday afternoon, and even set up a camp for them. ” Lu Zhi currently did not have any military power, nor did he care about military matters.
”Hehe …” That was only the Grand General Ho Jin's trick. He gave Ding Yuan's Zhanzhou cavalry a total of two thousand to Yang Lin, and used the hussar general's banner to scare people. ” Yuan Yuan smiled, and said complacently: ”I never thought that He Jin did not lie to us, but to Eunuch.”
”So that's how it is!” Lu Zhi nodded, but he had a plan in his heart. He took this opportunity to warn Yuan Yuan Yuan, ”Although they are just Ding Yuan's cavalry, but since they have already hit the hussar general's banner, we should not underestimate them. If he angers Yang Lin, then he will really lead an army here, and the world will truly be thrown into chaos. ”
”Of course we won't anger Yang Lin, and there's no need to anger Yang Lin either.” Yuan Yuan stopped smiling, and said seriously: ”The Great General was killed by the eunuchs, and the Son of Heaven was also kidnapped by the eunuchs, we are just here to maintain the stability of the Luoyang. As long as we respect the Son of Heaven, he has no reason to be our enemy. ”
”That's good, that's good.” Lu Zhi said again and again, but he was slightly relieved. It seemed that as long as the hussar general was present, the Yuan uncle and nephew did not dare to have any second thoughts. Therefore, it was impossible for an influential official to appear in the Imperial Court.
However, Lu Zhi's words had also reminded Yuan Zhong that since he did not have an army, he had to do things on the face of others. When Lu Zhi left, he immediately called Yuan Shao over and ordered in a stern voice: ”Leave North Palace's matters for now, you can immediately go and take over the northern troop and West Garden Army.”
”But without an imperial edict, the northern army and the West Garden Army's generals will not obey.” Yuan Shao looked troubled, and said helplessly. Although he had saved the empress dowager, the emperor's Imperial Jade Seal was with the Eunuch.
”Send out the fast horses and mobilize all the troops. Let them rush to the level of optimism and surround the northern troop. Those who disobey will be beheaded. We must control the northern troop.” Yuan Yuan was quite decisive and instructed carefully, ”As for the West Garden Army, we have already grasped a few battalions, we can let them participate in the operation together.”
”Alright, I'll do it right away.” Yuan Shao nodded and turned to leave.
After it was dark, Zhang Qian led Young Emperor Liu Bian over, while Duan Gui carried King Chen Liu on his back and led more than thirty trusted eunuchs towards the back gate of the North Palace. Seeing that the eunuchs had Tian Zi in their hands, no one dared to stop them. They could only watch Zhang Gong and her men run towards the North Gate.
Lu Zhi held onto his spear, and brought along his servant to follow behind Zhang Can and the rest. When they were almost to the North Gate, Min Gong, who was in the middle of Henan Province with Wang Yun, brought over ten soldiers over. Although Lu Zhi didn't know who Min Gong was, he still ordered majestically: ”Quickly bring your soldiers and follow me to protect the carriage.”
Min Gong had originally been under the command of Henan Yin Wang Yun, and was leading his soldiers to patrol the city to maintain security. However, when he heard he had to protect the emperor, his face immediately lit up. For a nobody like him, this was a golden opportunity.
