Yuan Shao's words revealed Cao Cao's scars, which immediately made Cao Cao feel embarrassed and upset.

When He Jin thought of this, he immediately looked at Cao Cao with an unkind look.

"Meng De needs no more, I have decided on this matter! Recruit the soldiers of heroes from all directions into the capital to jointly kill the eunuchs!"

Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Cao Cao left the General's Mansion in helplessness and resentment.

He seemed to have foreseeed that something terrible was about to happen in Luoyang.

Cao Cao left, but Chen Lin's words were not adopted. He Jin began to discuss with a group of Yuan's children and former officials of the Yuan family about where strong soldiers should be recruited to Luoyang to join the grand ceremony.

The first candidate was the strong Liangzhou soldiers under Dong Zhuo proposed by Yuan Shao. He Jin decisively adopted them without any hesitation.

The second choice was He Jin himself. He chose Ding Yuan, the cavalry commander who stationed troops in Hanoi against the Yellow Turbans. Ding Yuan had the powerful soldiers of Bingzhou, which was worth it.

Then Yuan Shu proposed the third choice.

"Guo Peng, the prefect of Shanggu, has elite cavalry under his command of Youzhou. He has defeated Xianbei and Wuwan many times. He has also pacified Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion. He is a loyal and prosperous country. He is a beloved disciple of Gong Lu. He is very reliable and can be recruited together."

Yuan Shu recommended Guo Peng.

Yuan Shao stared at Yuan Shu for a while, then looked away.

Although he and Yuan Shu had not reached an agreement directly, the interests of Yuan were temporarily used as the highest benchmark in this matter.

Guo Peng is Yuan Shu's confidant. Yuan Shu wants Guo Peng to come, but Yuan Shao has no reason to stop him.

He Jin had a pretty good impression of Guo Peng. He had talked before, but because the political struggle was too fierce, he forgot. Now that Yuan Shu mentioned it, He Jin was also very happy and nodded immediately to allow it.

So You and Liang, the three branches of the three states of Liang, who had more or less relationship with the Yuan clan, were recruited in this way, and the messenger set off immediately.

Not only that, He Jin also ordered his subordinates Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao and others to go to other places to recruit troops and enrich their strength.

A group of literati and officials who returned from other places to attend the funeral were appointed as officials.

For example, Wang Yun was appointed as the Yin of Henan at this time and took over the position of Yuan Shu. A group of confidants in Jingji took over the garrison positions that were important to attack.

In this way, the entire Luoyang capital area seemed to be controlled by He Jin.

He Jin closed his house tightly and was about to close the door and beat the dog.

In addition, in order to shut up the forces in the court against the arrival of foreign soldiers, He Jin ordered Ding Yuan, who was closest to the capital, to lead troops to burn Meng Jin and write a letter to impeach the eunuch.

Because he felt that Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan had a relatively close journey, Yuan Shu was worried that Guo Peng would be far away, so he gave the messenger Yuan's good horse and a dedicated channel, and asked the messenger to rush to Shanggu for 600 miles, and asked Guo Peng to prepare before sending the messenger.

At this moment, Guo Peng had already expected that his debut day would come soon.

From the early imperial edict of the intelligence personnel he planted in Luoyang, the court issued an edict to the death of Emperor Ling in five days and the news of the Shao emperor's ascension to the throne and the change of the reign of the emperor came to Shanggu County, he knew that his day of appearance was coming soon.

After Yuan Shu promised him that he would find an opportunity to send him a letter to Luoyang, he became even more convinced.

After hearing about Emperor Ling’s death, Guo Peng cried bitterly in the prefect’s palace in Shanggu County. It took him a while to relieve himself. He wrote a sacrifice with a deep heart and sent it to Luoyang.

Then he sent his personal soldiers to escort his wife and two sons to leave Shanggu and go to Qiao County.

"Why should I leave now? Penglang, this is not a big deal, right?"

Cao Lan was unwilling to leave Guo Peng, so she hugged him tightly and didn't want to let go.

Guo Peng also hugged Cao Lan tightly.

"Alan, be obedient, you go home first, take good care of Ajin and Ajun. I will go home soon."

"You'll go home, too?"

Cao Lan's face was full of discomfort.

"Well, I will go home, Shanggu County, we can't stay for long, we have done everything we should do, and taken away everything we should take away. It's time to leave."

Guo Peng whispered in Cao Lan's ear: "Go home and wait for me. I will go home in less than a year or two. At that time, we will be together forever and no longer have to separate the two places like before."

Cao Lan didn't understand why Guo Peng said this, but since Guo Peng said this, she chose to believe it because Guo Peng had never promised her something that could not be done.

Cao Lan chose to believe it, and then silently took her two sons and embarked on the road home under the secret escort of Guo Lie and Zhao Yun.

Without any worries, Guo Peng began to rectify his troops and ordered the army to enter a state of combat readiness.

On the grounds of "the emperor passed away, he was afraid that the Xianbei would attack", the army was ordered to enter a first-level combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time.

In this case, as soon as the news arrives, he will immediately rectify the cavalry, run to Luoyang as quickly as possible, join the great changes of this era, and become an indispensable part of it.

From April to June, the He family's foreign relatives group completed a devastating blow to the Dong family's foreign relatives group, and used the fastest speed to control all the important positions around Luoyang, firmly controlling the power of the central government.

At first glance, it seemed as if the world would be stable, and He Jin would become a key figure in the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, if He Jin was a little smarter, even if he realized the change in his position and understood the art of checks and balances, this might be the case.

Unfortunately, he doesn't understand.

He Jin didn't understand that from beginning to end, he was not a member of the scholar group. He was a relative of the foreigners, a relative of the rich. After destroying his competitors, he represented imperial power.

His position should change, not everything should be the same as before.

The scholars' flattery made him a little fluttered, so he did not pay attention or paid enough attention. Most of his subordinates were Yuan's disciples and former officials.

He is just a flag and a tool man.

The one who waved the flag to control the tools was Yuan.

Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu.

On July 16, Yuan Shu's messenger arrived two days before the arrival of the imperial messenger.

He Jin ordered the command to recruit Guo Peng to lead the Youzhou cavalry under his command to Luoyang to assist He Jin in extermination of the eunuchs. Guo Peng was asked to prepare immediately.

Guo Peng thanked the messenger and entered his study alone with a secret message, and then called Cheng Li.

"Master! This is..."

After seeing this letter, Cheng Li was shocked and his expression was shocked.

"The general wants to wipe out the eunuchs, but he is worried that his power is not enough to make the empress dowager surrender, so he recruits powerful troops from all directions to Luoyang to support him. In addition to us, there is also Dong Zhuo who holds the powerful soldiers of Liangzhou and Ding Yuan who holds the powerful soldiers of Bingzhou."

Guo Peng laughed: "The general looks like he really wants to wipe out the eunuchs, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Seeing Guo Peng laughing very happily, Cheng Li was a little confused.

He did not understand some power struggles in the central government because his background was very low. Before Guo Peng summoned him, he had never been an official and had no way to understand.

Political struggle, military strategy and governance of the people are different subjects. Although it is necessary for politicians to understand them, it also takes time to understand them.

Mr. Guo was in Luoyang and followed Lu Zhi for eight years. In this regard, Guo Peng could be Cheng Li's teacher.

"Why is the lord laughing?"

"Zhongde, don't you think the general is a bit strange to do this?"

Guo Peng asked with a smile.

"It's a bit strange. The Empress Dowager has a noble status, but she is just a woman. If the general wants to eliminate the eunuchs, he will lead his troops directly to do it. Why do he still recruit foreign soldiers?"

Cheng Li didn't think it was clear.

"If the general does not recruit foreign soldiers to Beijing, how can there be a reason for foreign soldiers to go to Luoyang? There is no reason for foreign soldiers to go to Luoyang. Where can Yuan clan have troops as a backing to achieve the final victory?"

"ah?"

Cheng Li said in confusion: "Yuan?"

"Who wrote this letter to me?"

"Yuan Highway."

"Who is the one who recruited me to Beijing?"

"General... Yuan Gaolu?!"

Cheng Li stared at his eyes wide and suddenly realized: "This is Yuan Gaolu... no! Is Yuan's idea?"

"That's right."
