Chapter 136 Prepare to leave
Although He Bai received the news, he did not pay much attention to the chaos in Luoyang City. With Luo Pei in his mansion leading the way, no major incident would happen. It was time to stay away from the capital and go to Beihai Kingdom to take office. So he ordered the guest to return to the city and pass on the orders to move to Luo Pei. He Bai issued a strict order to force Cai Yong's family to take Cai Yong's family with him.
At the second day, He Bai discussed the march with the generals about the army's expedition to the end. He Xian and Zhang Zhang hurriedly broke into the gate. Without waiting for the soldiers guarding the gate to stop him, they headed straight to the main tent. As soon as they saw He Bai, He Xian fell to the ground and cried, "Brother, my father was conspired to be murdered by the Ten Eunuchs yesterday..."
The generals were shocked, but they didn't expect that He Bai was the elder brother of He Xian, the son of General He, and was a relative of the He family who was in the same clan as General He. No wonder he dared to denounce He Xian directly without being hated by the general. However, this news was shocked by the more violent news. General He Jin was actually dead, and was killed by eunuchs like General Dou Wu, twenty years ago. Then wouldn't the He family become a rebel?
After He Xian told the whole story one after another, everyone realized that when He Xian went back yesterday, he wanted to remind He Jin, but he was one step late. He Jin had long been murdered by the Ten Generals under the orders of the emperor and the queen mother.
The ten eunuchs also issued a false edict to remove Yuan Shao from the posts of the Sili School and Wang Yun from the Henan Yin, so that the Taiwei Fan Ling was the Sili School and Xu Xiang of the Shaofu was the Henan Yin. After Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others who were waiting outside the palace to receive the news, they hurriedly retreated to the mansion to discuss. Yuan Shao, who had no help from He Jinzhi, had no news from the palace, and they could not get the key points after discussing for a long time.
He Jin was able to treat others in daily life, so the generals and guards in the General's mansion were happy to serve. Sima Wu Kuang and others, under the General, learned that General He was killed, and were afraid that the eunuchs would take him to He Jin's party, so they were asked to be punished later, so they wanted to lead their troops into the harem to kill all the eunuchs to take revenge.
However, their official positions were too small and they were afraid that they would not be able to accomplish anything. So the general of the Hu Ben Central Army, Yuan Shu, stepped forward angrily, led Hu Ben, Wu Kuang, Zhang and other generals to join forces, and led troops to attack Nangong at night.
After dawn, Yuan Shu ordered the destruction of the Jiulongmen and the East and West Palaces of Nangong. The eunuchs could not hold on in the Nangong, so they entered Changle Palace to report to Empress Dowager He, lied that the general's subordinates were treasoned and took the opportunity to threaten Empress Dowager He, the emperor, and the King of Chenliu, and the provincial officials, kidnapped other officials in the palace from the Tianqiao Pavilion Road between the north and south palaces to the Beigong.
However, Empress Dowager He has always been known for his good calculations in the harem. How could he not know that the Ten Eunuchs were different? It happened that the Minister of Shang Lu Zhi came to rescue the car in the pavilion, so he became fierce in the middle of the journey and jumped off the overpass and was rescued by Lu Zhi.
When he learned that Empress Dowager He was rescued, Yuan Shao and Yuan Wei, who had been frightened all night, immediately had a reliance on their orders and summoned the Sili Captain Fan Ling and Henan Yin Xuxiang to kill him. He also ordered the general He Miao to lead his troops to join Yuan Shao at the Zhuqueque Que of the Beigong Palace, and led his troops to attack Beigong, arrested Zhao Zhong and others, and killed them on the spot.
Wu Kuang and others led their troops from Nangong to Beigong. They resented He Miao for not working together with their brother He Jin, and suspected that He Miao and the eunuchs had accomplices. Under the instigation of Dong Zhuo's brother, Dong Min, the commander of the chariot, he took He Miao's troops into Beigong and attacked He Miao on the spot under the Zhuqueque Palace, and abandoned his body in Beigong Garden.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Zhang hurried out of Beigong and returned to the General's Mansion to find He Xian to report the matter. In just a few hours, He Xian learned that his father and uncle were both dead. He was immediately sad and frightened and had no control. Finally, he thought that there was still He Bai to rely on, so he hurried out of the city with Zhang Zhang to come to the army to ask for advice.
He Xian raised his head with tears in his eyes and asked, "Brother, my father and uncle have all died. The whole city of the capital is in chaos, the emperor is missing, and Wu Kuang and other generals are even more rioting. Now only my brothers in the clan have grown up. I don't know where my He clan will go?"
He Xian grew up in the capital since childhood. Although he was not capable, his political sense was good. He Jin and He Miao, the pillars of the clan, died, and no one in the clan held great power. He immediately thought of the safety of the He clan. It seems that people grow up very quickly in critical moments.
He Bai knocked on his forehead and asked, "Although I am older, you are the legitimate son of the general. Where will the He clan of Nanyang go depends on your decision. I am the He clan of Lingling, and I can only make plans for you, but I cannot make decisions for you. I don't know what your ambition is, and what level do you want to take the He clan of Nanyang?"
He Xian was stunned for a moment, and then cried and said, "Even if my father is the general and the power of the state, and his uncle is the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he is the capital, the two of them are still not. He Xian is incompetent, just wanting that his younger brothers and sisters can be safe and safe, and I am satisfied that my two sisters can marry a good family. I dare not think about the authority in the court anymore."
He Bai nodded and said, "If only this is the only way to think about He's family in Nanyang, then it will be easy to deal with. Since the general is dead, there will be a major change in the power of the court. You and I don't know what the successors think of He's family, and they will be afraid and hit by him. Only quickly disband the other slaves in the mansion, leaving only a dozen loyal slaves to listen to it. Clean up the gold, silver and fine materials in the house, and don't have too many other ones. The rest can be scattered to the people of Luoyang. Clear the general's mansion and prepare to move out and give it to the new rulers. After that, you can either return to your hometown in Nanyang or go to Beihai Country with me."
He Xian was stunned and asked, "If my He family left Luoyang City, what about the Empress Dowager's aunt and the emperor? What about the funeral of his father and uncle?"
He Bai sighed: "The world is full of news and new people laugh. Who cares about the old people crying? When the general brothers have passed away, who will remember them besides us. As the hope of your family, you can be safely free from things. Even if they have spirits in heaven, they will agree with my opinion."
"As for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, they are the most noble people in this world. Who would dare to harm them? Even if there is no support from the general, they may be imprisoned in the court, but after the emperor becomes an adult, he will regain power as the two emperors Huan Ling."
He Xian had no opinion, and he could not agree with He Bai's opinion. He Bai said again: "Although there were changes in the court, my expedition to Qingzhou was arranged by the general before his death. It had been delayed for a long time, but it should not be delayed. I decided to set off the camp immediately. If Ziquan wants to go to Beihai, he can return to Luoyang to prepare quickly and leave together when our army arrives."
He Xian was shocked and asked, "I left in such a hurry? The emperor has not found it yet, and I don't know the safety and safety, and the court has not yet stabilized. We are far away from the capital. This is not the way for a minister."
He Bai sighed, "If you and I are not descendants of He, you don't have to do this. Everything can be done according to the way of a minister. However, you and I belong to the He family, who are very close to the royal family. If you go too late, you may have a great disaster." He Xian was shocked and had to agree with He Bai's arrangement and went back to the city with Zhang Zhang again.
As soon as He Xian left, He Bai ordered the entire army to set off the camp and prepare to go to the expedition. When the people of Xiyang Pavilion heard the news, they asked the elders to come to the camp to ask the Lord's movements. He Bai told the elders that they were about to go to Qingzhou. When the elders heard that they kept asking He Bai to wait for a while, and after the people of Xiyang Pavilion rewarded the army again, it would not be too late to set off again tomorrow.
He Bai wanted to take away the entire army of the army, but he didn't want to be taken away by Dong Zhuo for nothing. He had to take advantage of his lack of control. Otherwise, after everything was settled, Dong Zhuo stopped his expedition in the name of court, and he really couldn't take away all the army. He Bai could only thank the people of the Sunset Pavilion for their enthusiasm.
However, as the Marquis of Xiyangting, He Bai once collected a lot of taxes from the people of Xiyangting. He felt unbearable for a moment and secretly said to the elders: "The capital may have war disasters in recent years, and when he lives in the capital again, he is afraid of being caught in war. If you are willing, Jingzhou is a good place to avoid the war."
After the elders received this news, they immediately thanked He Bai for his gratitude. As the court official, He Bai must have had a good news, so he hurriedly left the camp. When He Bai's army was about to set off, the elders led hundreds of young and strong men to the army and said:
"The Lord is very kind and righteous. He can inform the common people in advance that a major disaster will come in the capital, which will give the common people a way to avoid disasters. The common people are grateful. However, the common people are single and weak, and the road ahead is slim, and they are afraid that they will have no way to escape. Therefore, they gathered 600 young and strong people in the pavilion to follow and serve the Lord, and take the opportunity to avoid disasters, so as not to lose the blood of the people in the sunset pavilion. I hope the Lord will not abandon them and accept these simple innocent children."
After hearing this, He Bai sighed in his heart that it is very difficult to let the people of Xiyang Pavilion make this decision to entrust the people of Xiyang Pavilion follow each other in a short period of time. It also proves that He Bai is deeply trusted and respected by the people of Xiyang Pavilion. In history, there were 100,000 people in Xinye followed Liu Bei, and now the people of Xiyang Pavilion follow each other, He Bai also has a hint of the image of a benevolent lord.
He Bai's army of more than 10,000 people drove eastward in a mighty manner. Because there were many horses in the army, there were large chariots to transport supplies, and the road near the capital was wide, the march was very fast. It was less than five o'clock in the afternoon. He Bai saw that the city gate was wide open and there were no soldiers on duty at the top of the city, so he sent him to go to the post to explore, and the army walked around the southern city.
Soon after, a cavalry responded: "There were no soldiers guarding the city. When I asked the people in the city, I heard that it seemed that the palace was on fire, and all the soldiers went to put out the fire."
He Bai thought about it and found that according to history, the Ten Eunuchs led Liu Bian and Liu Xie out of the palace and ran north. The soldiers in the city were led by the officials to pursue them north. Who would have thought that Luoyang, the capital, which was usually very vigilant, would become an empty city without soldiers today?
When he arrived at Kaiyang Gate in the south city, the general's mansion was nearest, and He Xian led Zhang Zhang to wait in front of Kaiyang Gate, but he did not see He Jin's other children.
