Chapter 129: The Qiang Rider has arrived

He Bai sighed and said, "The matter of eunuch is Yuan running around, and the Grand Tutor Yuan did not come out to take responsibility, but the general was the one who bears this evil reputation. However, the general had no grudge against the Ten Generals, but he also allowed Yuan to use the general's hand to eliminate eunuchs, and he also persuaded the Empress Dowager from time to time. I think the general was going to sit firmly on Diaoyutai and let both sides fight. No matter who wins and loses, they would kneel down and ask the general for forgiveness or help."

"This can indeed enhance the authority of the general in the court, so that both sides can seek the general. But now the victory and defeat of both sides have been clear, and the Yuan family will win a great victory. However, the general is not the emperor of the Han Dynasty after all, and has no right to be a monarch and minister on both sides. If you do this, you will be hated. You are afraid that the ten regular attendants will be detrimental to the general when they are desperate."

He Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the ten eunuchsmen Zhang Rang have a relative, and my younger sister is Zhang Rang's son and wife. How could I really harm them? As long as they are willing to give up their posts in the palace and return home, I will keep them safe for the rest of their lives."

When He Bai first heard that the eunuch Zhang Rang had a son, he was stunned and thought that it was born before Zhang Rang became a eunuch. But later he realized that there were two types of eunuchs during the Han Dynasty. The eunuchs who were castrated were purely eunuchs who served the marquis; the emperor promoted his personal confidants from officials to manage the affairs of the palace.

Emperor Ling of Han called Zhang Rang as his father and Zhao Zhong as his mother, which means that one of the two was a normal person and the other was a eunuch. Including the eunuch Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty and the eunuch Huang Hao in the Shu Han Dynasty, they were actually normal people. It is not surprising that He Jin's younger sister married Zhang Rang's son.

After hearing this, He Bai smiled bitterly and said, "The General is really taking it for granted. You need to know that the former officials of Yuan's family are everywhere. Once the Ten Constables return home, they will be harmed by the former officials of Yuan's family. The safest place for the Ten Constables is actually only in the palace. When will the palace be released, when will they be buried."

Yuan Shao had long been falsely called He Jin's order, and ordered the officials from the hometown of the Ten Changshishi to capture the tribe members of the Ten Changshi to question, and wanted to remove the Ten Changshishi. Only He Jin was kept in the dark and wanted to break up with the Ten Changshi. This was the end of not only controlling the overall situation and giving up power.

Yuan Shao was very lucky. First, he met He Jin who obeyed the rules, and then he met Han Fu who was voluntarily accomplice. Both of them were cheated by Yuan Shao and died of misfortune. It can be seen that Yuan Shao was really not a good person, at least a bad thing that cheated the lord. It is not a big deal later, Xu You and Guo Tu followed suit and cheated him.

He Jin hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do I want? Could it be that I will help the Ten Generals?"

He Bai shook his head and said, "At this time, when the general made up his mind, either quickly kill the Ten Constables and suppress the already expanding power of Yuan's family. Or he said he was sick again and let Yuan and the Ten Constables decide the winner before they can be said."

He Jin remained silent after hearing this. He Bai wanted to truly control the dominance of the officials, rather than letting Yuan Shao operate at the top and bottom. He either completely let go and ignore him, and wait until the two sides decide the outcome, and then come out to clean up the mess.

But He Jin also had his own considerations. The Ten Constellation Secrets were the confidants of the late emperor and were also the slaves of the royal family. If he controlled the dominance of the eunuch, the eldest sister, Empress Dowager He, would definitely think that he had an unjust intention. The emperor of the current dynasty was the parent-child of the eldest sister, Empress Dowager He, and would never stand on the same side. His own rights came from the eldest sister, Empress Dowager He and the emperor's nephew, how could he confront them? He could only assist Yuan in getting things done, rather than abolitioning the Ten Constellation Secrets very firmly.

If you completely let go, you don’t care about it. The Ten General Assesses have the protection of their eldest sister, Empress Dowager He, and they are not confident about whether Yuan can be completely successful. Moreover, seeing that success is about to be successful, the opportunity to improve their family will be approaching, so how can you give up easily? Let the reputation of eliminating officials be exclusively enjoyed by the Yuan family for nothing.

He Jin then asked, "What Tianming said is very much, but I have other considerations. Let's talk about this matter. By the way, Yuan Benchu ​​used my name to summon foreign troops to Beijing, but Ding Yuan was still obedient, but everyone said that Dong Zhuo was not right. Shangshu Lu Zhi, the Censor Zheng Tai and others even abandoned their official positions and threatened them. I wonder if Tianming thought that Dong Zhongying was trustworthy?"

He Bai sighed inwardly that if Dong Zhuo did not arrive, the world would not be in chaos. He had fulfilled his obligation as a nephew just now. He Jin did not listen and could only let him go. So he said, "I have always heard that Dong Zhuo is violent and is vicious. He has been summoned to the capital many times and has not arrived. He has the intention of respecting his own troops and being unscrupulous. I don't believe in him, but only see the general's decision?"

He Jin smiled mysteriously and said, "Since the Yellow Turban Thief Rebellion, the local prefectures and counties have become more and more powerful, and the capital's elite troops are becoming fewer and fewer elite troops. This is suspected of being strong and weak, which may be detrimental to the authority of the Han Dynasty. Last year, the late emperor recruited brave men from all over the world to the capital to obtain tens of thousands of elite troops. In March, the late emperor ordered me to go to Xiliang, and I sent officials to recruit elite troops from all directions. Seeing that the general returned, the general had obtained tens of thousands of elite troops."

"Ding Yuan was summoned by Yuan Shao to the capital, and I and the Empress Dowager changed his position to the Jinwu, and then 30,000 elite soldiers in Bingzhou would return to the court. However, this time, he used the matter of eliminating officials to lure Dong Zhuo, who had always been respectful, into the capital for profit. At that time, he seized his military power and changed his position to another position. In this way, he obtained tens of thousands of Yiqiang and Xiliang cavalry in Huangzhong. With tens of thousands of northern troops, with these 200,000 troops in hand, the world was in chaos, and the Han Dynasty was as stable as Mount Tai."

He Bai was shocked when he heard this. He didn't want Emperor Ling of Han, so He Jin and Empress Dowager He secretly played this trick. There is indeed a saying in history that the Eastern Han Dynasty court allowed local governments to privately summon troops to fight against the thieves due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After quelling the rebellion, the states and counties in various places held their own troops, forming a warlord separatist situation. The situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty being in name only was irreversible, and eventually led to the formation of the Three Kingdoms.

This is obviously nonsense. When Emperor Ling of Han was still alive, he had already played the trick of summoning elites. He Jin played another move. Now He Jin and Empress Dowager He still want to play another move. If He Jin had not died of carelessness, maybe Dong Zhuo, the biggest uneasiness factor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, had been killed by He Jin and his sister.

The military power of the Han Dynasty's prefectures and counties has been collected, and there is no room for the fight against the central government. If reforms are carried out, the Eastern Han Dynasty may be able to last for another hundred years, at least not faster than the collapse of the Qing Dynasty's Cixi regime, which experienced the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion.

He Bai couldn't help but feel excited. It seemed that He Jin and Empress Dowager He were not too incompetent. They were just careless when they were victorious and were directly killed by the general by the Ten Generals. In addition, He Jin's brother, General He Miao, was killed by the impulsive Sima Wu Kuang of the General's Mansion, and no one in the capital could gather the army of all sides, which made Dong Zhuo profit later.

He Bai's heart couldn't help but turn rapidly. He Jin, who was not too stupid, could rely on the government affairs in a short time. He lacked his ability and could also use the authority of the Han Dynasty to recruit huge heroes of the Three Kingdoms to think it had been used. At this time, the aristocratic families did not have the same skills as those in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the domestic land and land conflicts could be resolved by fighting with foreign tribes. In this way, it seemed that the Eastern Han Dynasty could be greatly ruled without any chaos.

He Bai was also confused for a while when he was to build a house on an old house in the Eastern Han Dynasty or to rebuild it himself after it was demolished. However, He Bai was a little confused when he wanted to die in the new dynasty, and he was willing to accept the former.

However, the former will definitely be very difficult, and the conservative bureaucrats will openly and secretly oppose harming themselves. In later generations, there are two reform methods: gmd and ***. Because gmd is too corrupt, Mr. Jiang is unable to turn things around. The latter is relatively easier and more thorough. For a while, He Bai, who still cares about He Jin, has been wasting his time.

Later, when he thought about He Jin's worldview and values ​​were ultimately different from his own. Even if he was regarded as a member of the same clan, he would inevitably turn against each other because of his political views. He Bai thought for a long time and could only make up his mind and decided to completely ignore him.

Early the next morning, He Bai, He Xian and others were about to return to Xiyuan again, and suddenly heard the sound of war drums of enemy attacks and gathering troops above the gate of Xicheng. He Bai was shocked. At this time, there would be no enemy troops coming from the west of Luoyang City. Even if the Baibo thieves invaded from Hedong, it would not be possible that they would come so quickly.

He Bai and He Xian looked at each other and rushed towards the west of the city. He Bai was the lieutenant of the military camp in Xiyuan, and was no different from the lieutenant of the city gate in Luoyang. The marquis of the gate guards in the west of the city did not dare to stop him, and allowed He Bai and others to go up to the city wall to observe the enemy.

After reaching the city wall, He Bai was shocked when he looked at the city. He saw that the original open-air square outside the city entrance was in chaos, and the noisy small vendors had long disappeared. Instead, there were countless dense furs, a pair of eagle-hooked noses, and a deep brown-eyed Qiang Hu knights.

The Qiang and Hu knights all rode high-headed horses, carried slings with slashes of spears, and hung a long bow on their waists. There were a stream of excited and bloodthirsty light shining among countless eagle eyes! It seemed as if they saw a large group of unprepared naked beauties.

Looking at the leader again, I saw a vicious general who was quite tall, about 1.9 meters tall, but very fat. Although that general was over fifty years old and weighed 400 pounds, he was wearing heavy armor, with two bows on his waist, and riding a huge red BMW horse, which made him look very majestic and heavy.

He Bai was shocked again. It turned out that it was Dong Zhuo who arrived in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Didn’t he just arrived in Beijing after He Jin’s death? Why did he come so quickly this time?

He Xian asked in surprise: "Sir, who is this person? How come there are so many soldiers?"

He Bai said with a mouth: "The flag says that the former general, the Marquis of Jingxiang, and the governor of Bingzhou should have arrived. These Qiang cavalry are Hu cavalry and do not pay attention to any formation, so they stand in scattered everywhere, and look more like they look. But after years of scanning the generals, they can determine that there are only three thousand cavalry, not as many as imagined. I still need to study more in the future, so don't be deterred by the enemy."

He Xianjun blushed and thanked him: "Thank you for your advice from the lieutenant. Dong Bingzhou came here to block the city gate in the early morning, which meant to be powerful. I was afraid that what he did was not good, so why would his father think of summoning such evil people to force his aunt?"

After all, He Xian is He Jin's son. As long as he hears a little, he doesn't need to inquire more, he can get a lot of news. He Bai explained: "I heard from the general yesterday that Dong Zhuo was an old general elected by the Grand Tutor Yuan. A few years ago, he was guilty and had no one to rescue him. Fortunately, the general was responsible for the crime. With the old kindness of the Grand Tutor and the Grand General, the General thought that Dong Zhuo was trustworthy. Only such a fierce man could force the Queen Mother to get rid of the official position."

He Xian said a little depressedly: "Forcing my aunt to get rid of the official position is not a good minister, and there may be bad consequences. It's a pity that I am a little slight and cannot persuade my father. I know that my father is looking at the lieutenant, so why not advise him?"

He Bai shook his head and said, "How do you know that I have never advised me? The general only listens to Yuan Benchu's words and is not happy to listen to my words."
