Chapter 1 The Opening of the Prologue

In the fifth year of Zhongping, in 188 A.D., the Central Plains suddenly changed, and there were swords and soldiers in the world.

Since February, the rest of the yellow scarf has been in trouble. Guo Tai is equal to the Baibo Valley of the West River, conquering Taiyuan County, Hedong County and other places. Runan Gepi and other yellow scarves also responded one after another.

In March, Taichang Liu Yan wrote to the Ling Emperor with the soldiers of the world, and suggested that the governor should be changed to the state herdsman to focus on his position. In order to suppress the uprisings, Emperor Ling changed the assassin to the state herdsman from Liu Yan's proposal, and selected Lieqing and Shang Shu to be the state herdsman. Because the state animal husbandry holds the power of the administrative soldiers and horses of a state, the position is high and powerful, and the imperial court is unable to control it, which is like a separatist regime. It eventually evolved into a situation of separation and division of princes at the end of the Han Dynasty. At this point, the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains began officially.

In August, Emperor Ling set up the eighth lieutenant in Xiyuan, with Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo as the lieutenant of the army. Even the general He Jin had to listen to Jianshuo's orders, and the contradiction between the two gradually stimulated.

The annual ring of time, in the shadow of the sword, was transferred to 189 AD.

In March, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, and the emperor and the opposition mourned, and the prince Liu Wei ascended the throne as the young emperor. In the fourteenth year of the young emperor, Empress He was respected as the empress dowager and came to the court to listen to the government. The Empress Dowager He participated in the official affairs with her brother, General He Jin and Taifu Yuan Kui, and took charge of the government, forming a situation of exclusive rights for foreign relatives.

When Emperor Ling was alive, he originally wanted to succeed to the throne with the prince Liu Xie, and when he died, he entrusted Liu Xie to the eunuch.

After the death of Emperor Ling, Jian Shuo wanted to kill He Jin and make Liu Xie the emperor. Because He Jin was aware of it, the matter was not realized. Since He Jin was in charge of the government, he was not at ease, so he plotted to kill He Jin with the eunuchs. However, Zhao Sheng, the servant of the middle school, had a close relationship with He Jin and told him about the matter, so Jian Shuo was killed and returned all his forbidden soldiers, thus obtaining the command of the Eighth Lieutenant of the West Garden.

In the death of Zan Shuo, He Jin tore his face with the eunuch and completely cracked. However, due to the large number of eunuchs, He Jin could not get all of them.

The eunuchs Zhang Rang, Duan Kui and others, because of the support of the Empress Dowager He Jin, held the military power of the Eighth School of the West Garden. They were afraid at night and began to join the eunuchs and plot to kill He Jin.

With the idea of doing everything and obeying fate, He Chen sent three urgent documents in a row. Take the Hefu route and send it to General He. It is said that the eunish must be cut off, otherwise it will be disturbed.

However, He Jin had the courage to kill less than a big deal. In the face of the hesitation of the Empress Dowager He, the eunuchs were afraid and couldn't make up his mind for a while. After listening to the idea of Yuan Shao, the lieutenant Hu Benzhong, the lieutenant of the Chinese Academy, summoned the former general Dong Zhuo and others to lead troops to Beijing, so that the Empress Dowager He made up her mind to remove the eunuchs. At this point, Governor He Chen was inevitable. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he completely buried the Eastern Han regime, opening up the situation of disputes between princes and competing with each other.

At this time, Wancheng, with the death of He Zhen last year, He Miao was transferred to Henan Yin. He Xian (the son of He Jin, the father of He Yan) was ill in bed again. There was no strong figure in the He family. Fortunately, at this time, the He family was so powerful that no one dared to provoke him. And the foundation He Chen laid in Wancheng became more and more solid, and the governance of Wancheng was well organized and won the hearts of the people. After a long time, he gradually became the spokesperson of Hefu in Nanyang. Although He's government is full of power, He Chen is very low-key. He said that he deliberately formed the major rich families, with interests, and courtesy of virtuous corporals. His reputation and prestige are growing, and he is supported by other families. At that time, there are people in Nanyang'an, such as Liu Wangzhi and Xi Shu, who are knowledgeable and have a strategy, and Lv Chang, a person from Nanyang Bowang. He is skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts skills are all profane. When he hears about the morning, he comes to the same.

At this time, Wanchengwen has Li Yan and Liu Wangzhi, and Wu has Liao Hua, Wenpin, Lou Gui and Lv Chang.

To say that Li Yan, he couldn't let go of He Cai's marriage to He Chen for a long time. During this period, he wanted to dismiss him several times, but He Chen tried his best to stay, and then he reluctantly agreed.

He Chen saw that He Jin, who wrote several times, was like a stone sinking into the sea. Since the governor could not do anything, he began to worry about the great change of the He family. If it is said, it will be lost, and if the moon is full, it will be a loss; if it is prosperous, it will decline, and if it is, it will be reversed. This is the eternal truth, and after the He family entered the peak of power, although it was prosperous for a while, it also laid a deep foreshadowing for the decline of the future. In a few months, the eunuch faked the edict of the Empress Dowager He and killed him into the palace. He Jin fell, and the empress dowager was held hostage by the eunuchs. The two pillars went away, and the He family inevitably went into decline. Although he said things directly in his letter, He Jin was at the peak of his life at this time. His eyes were above the top, his eyes were empty, and he didn't care about what he said. In this case, He Chen can only start to save himself. When he got married to He Cai, He Chen had already prepared for the worst, and now the situation is still interpreted according to the history book.

But at the end of May, He Chen received a secret letter, which made him overjoyed and couldn't help shouting: God help me.

Where did the letter come in?

There is only a simple number on the letter: "Get up the county soldiers quickly and enter Beijing to get rid of the castrate."

It turned out that He Jin was finally very relieved that the former general Dong Zhuo was not there. In addition, He Chen repeatedly issued urgent secret orders, and he was finally moved. When He Zhen was alive, he wrote many letters, saying that He Chen's martial arts were both useful, which made him curious. Erlai Wancheng is finally the place where he started his family, and Hefu is his own foundation. He Chen leads the troops to the north, and he can rely on his arms to capture Kyoto. Thirdly, He Cai has been very happy with the Empress Dowager since he was a child. If he is allowed to speak from it, he will strengthen the determination of the Empress Dowager.

And He Chen knew that after several years of hard work, he finally began to incite the historical wings of butterflies.

In the city.

All the people He Chen relied on in Wancheng sat down solemnly.

After several years of grinding, He Chen had a faint majestic body, but the middle hall sat gently, and an unangry and arrogant momentum permeated the whole hall. Everyone sat there quietly, and a few people were swept by He Chen's sharp eyes, and they couldn't help bowing their heads slightly.

The quiet fallen leaves in the lobby can be heard.

A heavy atmosphere slowly permeated the field.

For a long time, He Chen coughed gently.

Everyone was stunned, and everyone was highly focused.

He Chen stood up from the chair with a letter letter in his hand and walked slowly in the middle. In the attention of everyone, he raised the letter in his hand and said in a low voice, "General He Jin is here today and summoned me to lead troops to Beijing to help him get rid of castyo. It's a big deal. Please come and discuss it.

"Is there such a thing?" Everyone in the field was stunned.

"Exactly, it has been more than 300 years since Gao Zu established the Han Dynasty and established the capital Chang'an. During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs formed a party, took control of the government, and searched the skin of the people. The people were unable to make a living and suffered unspeakably. Now it's a critical moment of wind and rain. Although General He has the heart to revitalize the imperial court, he has no choice but to be powerful. Now he recruits me to lead troops to Beijing to help him eliminate thieves. What do you think? He Chen glanced at the audience and said passionately.

"He Chengling, this is a good opportunity. It is a great time for God to make contributions. If we can clean up the eunuchs, we will be able to return a bright universe to my great man." Li Yan was the first to say excitedly.

"What the right side said is reasonable. Throughout the changes of dynasties, there are all the shadows of eunuchs. After Qin unified the six kingdoms, it was the eunuch Zhao Gao who launched a coup in Wangyi Palace. Until the death of Hu Hai of Qin II, the Qin Dynasty began to fall apart. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, in view of the lesson of Qin's death, Gao Zu used scribes as regular servants to suppress the power of eunuchs. However, after the Yuan Emperor, the power of eunuchs was restored. Emperor Zhiai didn't care about the political platform and spoiled Dong Xian (eunuch). At the age of 22, he became the great Sima Fuzheng. They often sit on the same couch, and then they have the habit of breaking their sleeves. Now Zhang Rang, Duan Kui and other middle-time attendants control the government, corrupt the imperial platform, and act recklessly. General He's move is in response to the will of heaven and the hearts of the people. The city order must not miss a good opportunity. The next person who made a sound was Liu Wangzhi.

"City order, if you can remove the eunuchs this time, and hope that the city order will be considerate to the people, say that General He, less court disputes, and more blessings for the people of the world." This is Lv Chang, a person who dares to speak.

He Chen nodded. Although he relied on the He family to take office and made some achievements, some loyal people still disdained him. He Chen's recruitment was also turned a blind eye to it. This was because of He Jin's authority, took control of the government, and ignored the sufferings of the people of the world, but only competed with eunuchs for power and profit. Teeth.

"The city order, but my subordinates thought it was a little inappropriate. Although General He intended to be castrated, it was inevitably doubtful that the transfer of troops from his relatives to the capital. If there is a rumor to slander General He and say that he will send troops to Beijing to deliberately plot a rebellion, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the name of the general." Lou Gui had some scruples and was worried.

He Chen thought so and said, "My uncle's words are reasonable. We must be guarded against this matter."

He Chen thought for a few times and looked at Wen Ping with questioning eyes.

Wen Ping had a calm face, his eyes drooped slightly, and his hands trembled gently, as if to feel He Chen's eyes. He raised his head and stood up, and said calmly, "Can you take a look at the letter?"

He Chen nodded and gave the letter to Wenpin.

Wen Ping just glanced at it gently and quickly, and there was a faint confusion in his eyes.

He Chen was a little surprised: "What do you think of Zhongye?"

Wenpin took a deep breath and said slowly, "Didn't the city order have a decision in his heart? Why do you ask your subordinates?

He Chen nodded secretly in his heart. Among the people present, Wen Ping also grasped his own mind.

He Chen pondered for a moment, suddenly raised the decibel, and shouted, "The generals will listen to the order."

"My subordinates are here."

Everyone in the hall stood up at almost the same time and roared.
