  Chapter 9 Chess players or chess pieces

  Actually, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao were very close friends when they were young.

  Play together, go crazy together.

   Fight crickets together and visit brothels together.

   Molesting good women together, peeking at widows taking a bath together.

  Climb high and look into the distance to tell your life aspirations, and chase and hunt together in the mulberry garden to practice martial arts.

  At that time they were still very young, there were many books in Taixue, and Luoyang was a big city.

  At that time, they all thought that the world was so big that there were enough and big enough places for them to display their talents.

  At that time, they all thought that they would become high-ranking officials of the imperial court, make contributions and expand their territories, and become heroes with a long history.

  But at some point, Yuan Shu, the follower who always followed behind, began to act alone, and obviously began to put up the family tree of the Yuan family.

  Afterwards, Yuan Shao no longer lingered in brothel fans, and began to call a group of heroic men brothers and sisters. Soon afterwards, he became the county magistrate of Puyang and left Luoyang.

   At about the same time, Cao Cao began to meet many people under the conscious arrangement of the Cao family, such as Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang, Liu Xun, Xu You, Zhang Miao and so on.

   It was also at that time that Cao Cao received the most important comment in his life: "A minister capable of governing the world, a hero in troubled times."

  At that time Yuan Shao was nineteen years old, Cao Cao was eighteen years old, and Yuan Shu was seventeen years old.

  ××××××××××××××××××

  Cao Cao reacted instantly when he saw Yuan Shao's eyes. Yuan Shu's initiative to invite Ying was not discussed with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao didn't know about it at all.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at odds, and there were often times when they would tear each other down. Cao Cao was well aware of this, after all, he was also from a family, and he had seen this kind of dispute between concubine and concubines. When it comes to the big Yuan brothers, I can't help feeling a little bit emotional sometimes.

   But it is just generosity, after all, it is an internal matter of the Yuan family, and no matter how much I, an outsider, can't control it. It’s just that in comparison, Yuan Shao can still chat to some extent, but Yuan Shu always puts on an air of superiority, which is annoying.

  So most of the time, Cao Cao would be partial to Yuan Shao, and from time to time add a bit of trouble to Yuan Shu.

  However, Yuan Shu's performance this time was indeed somewhat abnormal.

  On weekdays, Yuan Shu is basically the type who is present but doesn’t talk much. Usually, Yuan Shao comes forward to make suggestions, and Yuan Shu can at most follow along.

  What does Yuan Shu want to do?

  In ancient times, in order to consolidate the emperor's rule over the military power and prevent the army from disorderly administration, tiger charms were generally used to mobilize troops. The tiger talisman is divided into two halves, one half is with the emperor, and the other half is with the general who commands the troops. Only when you see the tiger talisman can you transfer troops.

However, in the Han Dynasty, any well-known generals, that is, those above Si'an and Siping, could enjoy private trilogy, and they could use only half of the general's tiger charms for scheduling, so as a general, there is no problem in mobilizing thousands of people. , but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are currently only school lieutenants, not generals, and have no right to deploy troops.

   Therefore, Yuan Shu's statement is not wrong, it is tenable.

He Jin nodded after listening to Yuan Shu's words. He also felt that there was some truth in it. If you can't tell the truth, then don't give people a handle. What about him, the sister is the queen mother, and the nephew is the emperor, how many of those eggless eunuchs have the guts to touch the beard of the general?

Seeing that He Jin was moved, Cao Cao hurriedly said before He Jin said: "The general has something to do, how can Benchu ​​and I sit and wait? What Gonglu said is true, if it is not as if the general is in charge of the army, Benchu ​​and I will be at the general's side Guard, to protect the general's safety." After speaking, he secretly rolled his eyes at Yuan Shao.

  Yuan Shao understood, and immediately cooperated enthusiastically and said: "What Meng De said is true! I will protect the general with Meng De!" No matter what, I can't do what Yuan Shu wants me to do!

He Jin rejoiced: "Good! In this way, Ben Chu and Meng De will follow me into the palace, and the troops will be dispatched on the highway!" The general's charm is still acceptable, okay, I won't talk about Ben Chu, it is still very caring, Cao A lied to Cao Mengde, you are smart, and you are a good comrade if you can correct your mistakes. Let me give you a chance.

  Yuan Shu sneered in his heart, Uncle is really good at predicting things, you Cao Aman really came out to disrupt the situation, but it’s okay, your fate is already doomed, it’s the same whether you go or not.

  Yuan Shao, don’t think that being the eldest son will work. No matter how hard you try, you can’t change your origin. The Yuan family is mine in the end...

  Cao Cao, when I was young, you used your intelligence to bully me when I was young, and humiliated me, hehe, let’s see what arrogance you still have after the fall of the eunuchs...

  Yuan Shu lowered his head to prevent Yuan Shao and Cao Cao from seeing the expression in his eyes, stood up, and followed Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's orders in unison.

  In the conference hall of the General's Mansion, the only one who has some premonition of what will happen in the future, or is more informed, is Yuan Shu.

Before Yuan Shu came to the General’s Mansion, his uncle Yuan Kai specially ordered three things that must be done in secret: the first thing is to encourage the General He Jin to enter the palace—it turned out that He Jin didn’t need Yuan Shu’s encouragement at all. it is achieved;

The second thing is that most generals will lead soldiers when they enter the palace, and they must get the right to command the troops. I thought this matter would be difficult. Kuang Zhangzhang and other generals could also lead the army, but it was very fortunate that General He Jin didn't call Wu Kuang and others when he called for a discussion, and Yuan Shu easily got the command of the army with the reason that he hadn't been ordered and could not be transferred. s right;

  The third thing is what Yuan Shu is about to do right now—delay the departure of He Jin’s summoned soldiers by an hour...

Although Yuan Shu couldn't figure out the whole plan arranged by his uncle Yuan Kai, but as the son of the head of the Yuan family, he had more right to know than Yuan Shao. Just like now, Yuan Shu only knew that his uncle Yuan Kai was calculating He Jin, Then He Jin would definitely suffer, but he never expected that He Jin would be so miserable this time, that he would be beheaded when he entered the palace!

  Yuan Shu didn't expect it, and Zhang Rang, the ten permanent servant, didn't expect it either. He really didn't intend to cut off He Jin's head, what's the use of He Jin's head?

   What would be the benefit of killing He Jin?

   Didn't give orders to kill the great general of the dynasty without authorization, did he really lose his mind when he was Zhang Rang?

That's right, Zhang Rang was planning to deal with He Jin, because He Jin was unreasonable—it turned out that Jian Shuo was against you, and you got the power and you got rid of Jian Shuo. , but you, He Jin, still want to deal with us, isn't this too much?

He Jin, you don't know what is good or bad. At the beginning, Jian Shuo wanted to deal with you, and I was waiting for you. Your sister can become the queen mother, and I also contributed a lot. Now that you have power, you will cross the river and tear down the bridge. Can you Make sense?

   What's more, I've been waiting in front of the gate of General He Jin's mansion to plead guilty. This attitude is low enough, but you still want to make trouble like that?

  Going to the general’s mansion several times, why did you put on airs and disappear, and didn’t communicate at all, can you solve the problem?

   Zhang Rang managed to obtain the imperial edict from the Empress Dowager He, and let He Jin enter the palace. In fact, it was because He Jin refused to see them, so he had to prepare to reason with He Jin in his own home court and make a good theory.

  Of course in his perfect plan, he just wanted to show his force and scare He Jin. How bold can a butcher like He Jin who sells wine and meat who has never seen a big scene like He Jin be? As long as the knife and ax are placed on He Jin's neck, he will not dare to go west if He Jin goes east. First, he will take away the general's tiger talisman, and then put him under house arrest for a few days. He will send some cronies to gather the soldiers and horses under He Jin's control. Let him go.

At that time, as long as He Jin's soldiers and horses are received in his own hands, just like what Jian Shuo did in the past, when he took power over the eight captains of Xiyuan, and the entire imperial guards in the capital bowed their heads and obeyed orders, it would be a foregone conclusion, then the He family would have no choice but to pinch It doesn't matter whether He Jin is closed or not or whether he is killed or not.

Once He Jin's Tiger Talisman military power is seized, and he has enough military power, he can make He Jin square if he wants to, and round if he wants to be round. What can I do? Wouldn't it be better?

   But—but—is that **** so quick?

  Zhang Rang really felt like crying.

  He just signaled the soldiers in the palace to take He Jin down, he didn't want you to cut him down with a knife without saying a word!

  Now it’s all messed up, He Jin lost his head, how can he communicate?

Just as Zhang Rang was about to find out the guy who hacked He Jin first, a small yellow gate rushed to the palace gate and reported that outside the gate Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were guarding him with guards of honor of more than a dozen generals. The clamor and shouting even startled the people in the palace, and they came to ask Zhang Rang how to deal with it.

   "Don't let them in!" Zhang Rang was the first to respond.

The second reaction is to go to the emperor as soon as possible. The only person who can save his life now is the emperor. He has been cornered several times over the years, just like the last time his attendant Zhang Jun wanted to kill him. As long as the emperor does not order, he will still be saved. !

   It's definitely not me to kill He Jin. I didn't give this order, so I must leave it clean!

   If it doesn’t work, let Gao Wang do it. I heard that he has gotten very close to Zhao Zhong recently, and he is in charge of the Northern Palace Guard, so it is most appropriate to let him take the blame!

  Zhang Rang rushed to the inner palace in a hurry, and he must arrive in front of the emperor as soon as possible!

   The little Huangmen who was left behind is in a hurry, you just ran away, what to do with this mess now—

  Xiao Huangmen called repeatedly, but Zhang Rang turned a deaf ear and ran away.

   "This... this... let's talk about this when Master Zhang Hou comes!" Xiao Huangmen also ignored him, and ran away without saying a word.

  All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, realizing that the matter was serious, and it wasn't who took the lead, so they dispersed in a hurry.

   Immediately, all the people in the square ran away, leaving He Jin's body lying quietly on the ground.

   After an unknown amount of time, a man wearing palace guard armor appeared from the corner of the wall. After carefully checking that there was no one around, he sneaked up and wrapped He Jin's head in a cloth, and took him away.
