It was also on this day, August 25 of the first year of Guangxi, that He Jin made a decision.

He Jin finally decided to kill the eunuch in a daze under the bombarding request of Yuan's former officials.

So He Jin swaggered into Changle Palace without any defensive measures and gave an ultimatum to Empress Dowager He.

On August 20, Guo Peng led his troops to Hanoi County and marched to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Looking at Xiaopingjin Pass, an important ferry on the other side of the Yellow River, Guo Peng ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, eat some food, replenish their strength, and then retreat some distance to cut down trees and set up camp.

"Lord, isn't it a river now?"

Cheng Li came to Guo Peng's side, stood with Guo Peng, and looked at Xiaopingjin Pass from afar.

"Let's wait first, let the soldiers rest for a while, hurry up all the way, and fight a few battles, finally arrived, rest, it's hard to say whether there will be a battle to fight after arriving in Luoyang."

In the process of Guo Peng leading the army to Hanoi County, he originally wanted to rush to Luoyang as soon as possible to join the historical process, but on the way, he encountered several groups of Yellow Turban troops besieging the county seat.

Guo Peng couldn't watch the city fall, so he led his army to break several Yellow Turban armies of thousands of people and rescue several county seats.

As a result, they encountered a group of Hun cavalry on the road, and saw them plundering a group of men and women swaggering in the direction of the upper party.

Guo Peng was furious, led his troops to attack these Huns, and won a great victory, killing more than 1,000 Huns, robbing more than 2,000 war horses, and rescuing more than 20,000 men and women.

They thanked Guo Peng with a thousand thanks, and then fled for their lives.

After a delay along the way, Guo Peng found that the situation in Hebei was very chaotic, with the Yellow Turban Army in rebellion, and the Southern Xiongnu taking advantage of the fire to rob.

He suddenly thought that it was pointless for him to go to Luoyang now, he had no intention of changing the course of history, he hoped that Dong Zhuo could disturb the world and destroy the authority of the Han Dynasty, so naturally he would not be the one who set things right.

There is Yuan Shu in the court, and there is Lu Zhi, no matter what aspect he says, now and in the past, he will inevitably be used as a gunman.

Why not step in and fight for the initiative at the most critical time?

Guo Peng carefully prepared to create the best entry point for himself.

He constantly asked the intelligence soldiers in Luoyang City to send him the latest information, so that he could easily judge the situation in Luoyang.

Judge when to enter and die, judge when the young emperor fled, and judge when to cross the river to win the greatest benefits.

Or in the most straightforward way.

After He Jin died, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu joined He Jin's old troops to attack the palace, Yuan Shu set fire to the palace to force out the eunuchs, when he saw fire or black smoke in the direction of Luoyang, it meant that He Jin was dead, and Luoyang began to be in chaos.

Coincidentally, Dong Zhuo is actually watching the situation.

Of course, he didn't take the initiative not to enter Luoyang, he wanted to enter Luoyang, but He Jin didn't let him.

He Jin didn't let him in, and the Yuan family wanted him to enter, which made Dong Zhuo very difficult.

On the surface, he is He Jin's person, and he was promoted and taken care of by He Jin, but secretly he is the former official of the Yuan family, and he contacted the Yuan family through Dong Min at the beginning of this operation.

On the surface, he respects He Jin's order, but in fact, he respects Yuan's order.

From the bottom of his heart, Dong Zhuo really wants to go to Bingzhou to be a pastor and be a soil emperor and have a good time.

But the Yuan family didn't let it, and the Yuan family said that Dong Zhuo should come to the central government, and when the time comes, the position of the general of Jiuqing will be chosen at will, so that you can soar.

Dong Zhuo felt that Yuan's promise was very tempting, and it was obviously better to come to the central government to soar than to stay in the border and work hard.

Therefore, Dong Zhuocai followed Yuan's instructions and came to the vicinity of Luoyang, but was actually stopped by He Jin, not allowed to enter Luoyang, and sent officials to reprimand Dong Zhuo, making Dong Zhuo not a human inside and outside, which made Dong Zhuo very dissatisfied.

What the hell are you going to do?

Dong Zhuo asked again, and this time, he got an order for Dong Zhuo to lead his troops to the garrison of the Sunset Pavilion west of Luoyang to wait for the notice.

The Sunset Pavilion is more than 20 miles away from Luoyang, not far away, and the cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command will soon arrive at Luoyang at full speed, which is a good position to wait and see the situation, Dong Zhuo does not want to continue to suffer from that bird's anger, so he led the army to the west.

When he arrived at the Sunset Pavilion, Dong Zhuo stopped and sent his subordinates to start watching the situation, waiting for Yuan's next instructions, and at the same time, his heart was open.

Dong Zhuo is not stupid at all, in his early years, he fought for a position with the courage of blood and energy, but he was wiped out in minutes, and since then Dong Zhuo has known the importance of reading.

So when he was an official later, he often read books, learned the truth, understood ancient and modern history, and tried to see through the mysteries of the government.

I don't know if I see through it, anyway, Dong Zhuo's cultural level is relatively prominent in the Liangzhou group, much more powerful than his group of subordinates who can't read a basket of big characters.

The Yuan family promised to give Dong Zhuo a certain position, and Dong Zhuo was also thinking about whether it was worth it, and now the situation in Luoyang is very strange, I don't know what the relationship between Yuan and He Jin is, Dong Zhuo, as an outsider, has limited information.

Fortunately, his younger brother Dong Min told Dong Zhuo some important information in the court, such as how he repeatedly hesitated and how Yuan Shao pushed He Jin to do things.

Dong Zhuo thought about it and felt that it was not He Jin who wanted to destroy the eunuchs, but the Yuan family, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the Yuan family was using He Jin, otherwise why would he press himself here and not let himself be the state pastor?

What do they want their soldiers and horses to do?

Dong Zhuo felt that the Yuan family was playing a big game of chess, but the content and results of this game of chess were not something that Dong Zhuo could know now.

He'll have a chance to know.

On August 25 of the first year of Guangxi, He Jin once again entered the palace and issued an ultimatum to his sister Empress Dowager He, saying that he would kill all the eunuchs below the regular attendants, and use Shiren Langguan to enter the palace to serve the royal family.

Empress Dowager He angrily scolded He Jin for having a sick brain.

"You took the initiative to throw away the steel knife and put our lives in the hands of others! How could I have a stupid brother like you!! ”

He Jin was confused, and didn't understand why Empress Dowager He said this.

While they were talking, Zhang asked Zhao Zhong and others to send people to eavesdrop, and when they heard He Jin's idea of killing them all, they were immediately terrified.

"If you don't do it, He Jin wants us to die, let's let He Jin die first!"

Zhang Rang and the people in the Ten Standing Servants personally held the blades in the palace in ambush, and when He Jin came out of the Empress Dowager He, he sent someone to tell He Jin that the Empress Dowager He had something to look for him, so he took He Jin into the ambush circle of the eunuchs.

"What are you doing here?!"

He Jin panicked, and he was shocked when he saw the eunuchs surrounding him with swords in hand.

"What are we going to do? We should ask you about that! General, in order to survive, we have done whatever it takes, Jian Shuo has killed you, and all the money has been given to you, don't you even give us a way to live? ”

"In the past, the first emperor hated the queen mother, and he wanted to abolish the queen mother, but I took out the money we saved and handed it over to the first emperor, in exchange for the first emperor's laughter, which kept the position of the queen mother, and this is why you are high today! You're trying to kill us now? ”

"It's not enough to just kill us, but also to ask our family members and clansmen, is there still such a reason in the whole world?"

"You always say that it is us eunuchs who are the scourge of the world, do you mean that we are the only ones in the whole world who are traitors? Aren't those corrupt and bribe-taking scholars traitors? ”

"Saying that the inner palace is dirty and filthy, all of them are damned people, and which of the Manchu Dynasty ministers is truly innocent? Are we the only ones who are dirty? ”

Eunuchs, you said the words of grief and indignation in your heart word by word, He Jin was dizzy and didn't know what to do, he couldn't escape if he wanted to, and he couldn't theorize if he wanted to.

The eunuchs were furious, and finally, the Shang Fang supervisor Qu Mu drew his sword and beheaded He Jin in front of the Jiade Palace.

The general He Jin began in April, after the death of Emperor Ling, and began to count from the defeat of Dong's relatives and Jian Shuo, to the current August, the time of ruling is only four months.

In four months, General He, the first person in the world, was killed by a group of eunuchs as weak as lambs in the deep palace.
