The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 43 Chapter 42

"Is the general there?" At this time, a soldier in the palace secretly ran to the general's mansion.

He was deliberately released by Liu Hong because he had to tell Dou Wu that the eunuch was planning to attack him.

Only if both sides are prepared can both sides suffer losses.At the same time, several people who supported Liu Hong in the fifth battalion of the Northern Army were also informed that they would not accept Dou Wu's transfer order.In other words, Dou Wu can currently mobilize only two battalions of the Northern Army, with more than 1000 people.

"What, the eunuch will attack me tomorrow night?" After Dou Wu heard what his spies said to him, his face was full of disbelief.

The main soldiers and horses of the eunuchs are in the palace, and there are many soldiers and horses, but they cannot be transferred casually. More than 300 people should be all the soldiers and horses that the eunuch can mobilize.

"Hurry up and invite Chen Fan and Hu Guang to discuss important matters." Dou Wu was a little confused.He no longer knew how to deal with this matter.

It was not that he had not received news in the past few days, saying that the eunuchs from various places had begun to attack their factions, but Dou Wu did not take them seriously. Now that things happened suddenly, Dou Wu was a little panicked.But how did these eunuchs take the soldiers and horses out?
The soldiers and horses in the palace must have the tokens of the emperor and the queen mother to take them out of the palace. "Could it be that the palace has been controlled by eunuchs?" Dou Wu thought of the most terrible thing.

If the eunuchs are under control, isn't all Luoyang's army in the hands of the eunuchs?In this case, you are at an absolute disadvantage.Even if he was said to be a traitor, would he still have a way out?

Dou Wu was a little worried, if the eunuchs had no support, they would not do this kind of thing, so who is it?
"Report, Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu is ill and cannot come." Several servants who ran to invite someone came back and said out of breath,
After they passed by, they were blocked by the door without even seeing the faces of the two adults, saying that they were ill and could not come.This was the first time that such a thing had happened, and Dou Wu was actually rejected.

After Dou Wu heard this, he said, "Chen Fan and Hu Guang, two children." As soon as Dou Wu heard this, he knew that the two people had made their own choices.He has been given up.

It's just that the eunuch will never let the two of them submit. Could it be the Queen Mother or His Majesty did it.It's just that at this time Dou Wu laughed at himself and said, "One woman and one child, so possible." Dou Wu dismissed it.

"Dou Wu is indecisive and indecisive. I'm afraid it's hard to become a great weapon." Chen Fan and Hu Guang said in Taiwei's residence.Hu Guang is Chen Fan's teacher, so Chen Fan is doing the discipleship ceremony.

"Oh, Your Majesty is really cruel." Hu Guang said from the bottom of his heart.Winning over the aristocratic family and the royal family is just to completely destroy Dou Wu.

"Teacher, you must not talk like this." Chen Fan was taken aback. If this word spread, it would be dangerous.

"It scares you." Hu Guang also realized that this sentence was inappropriate, but mobilizing two parties to fight for his own benefit is indeed ruthless, but in this era, even if it is really this, it cannot explain.

"Just now Dou Wu invited us, we didn't go, what do you think he will do next." Hu Guang continued to ask, now Dou Wu should also know that they have been betrayed, and to be precise, they should have given up on him.

It's just that his strength is greatly reduced now, but after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and there are still quite a few people following Dou Wu.

He also controls all the soldiers and horses in name, although it is only a name, but the Northern Army is still in his hands.But from what Liu Hong said just now, it seems that Yu Wentai, Murong Han, and Tuo Basi have already supported him.

The fifth battalion of the Northern Army lost three battalions at once, so Dou Wu basically only had two battalions, and this was still the case with Liu Hong's permission to transfer out.If Liu Hong ordered three battalions to encircle the rest of the soldiers, Dou Wu would only have some of his guards and some family soldiers who supported him.There will be no more than 300 people in total.

Moreover, the combat power will not be as strong as those imperial soldiers. With this kind of strength, it is undoubtedly a dead end to fight against the eunuchs.

"Let's wait and see the situation," Hu Guang said.

The next day, the atmosphere in Luoyang suddenly entered a depressive state. It seemed that nothing had changed, but if you look closely, you will find that there were suddenly more soldiers and horses in some places, and there were more people patrolling.

At the General's Mansion, Feng Shu, the commander of the Cavalry School, was summoned to the General's Mansion.

Feng Shu was Dou Wu's confidant, and he had seven hundred troops under his command.These are Dou Wu's last elite strength.

"General." Feng Shu came to the General's Mansion, and as soon as he came, Feng Shu was called by the person arranged by Dou Wu.

Between the words, the man spoke very anxiously, Feng Shu guessed that something might have happened to the General's Mansion, so Feng Shu came over without delay.

As soon as I entered Luoyang, there was a strange smell in Chenghe City.It's just that he didn't think too much, and came to the General's Mansion.

Dou Wu didn't sleep last night. He sent someone to contact the family, Li Keyong, Liu Xiu and others, but all they got was closed doors. It's not that they don't help Dou Wu. They want to see who has the best chance of winning in the end.

If Dou Wu persists in the end, they will deal a devastating blow to the eunuchs. If the eunuchs win, they will also completely devour Dou Wu's strength.

Wouldn't it be fun to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight? They can't take sides in advance. If they take the wrong side, it will be a bit dangerous.No, it could be a devastating blow to the entire family.

Chen Fan only found some families, but this basic family had some relatives, so everyone knew to some extent that Dou Wu had been abandoned at a certain level.

So they turned a blind eye to Dou Wu's request for help. This result was also caused by Dou Wu himself, and the two sides shared the benefits equally. However, Dou Wu crazily placed cronies, and the other families were constantly weakened, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the family.

It was precisely because the family was somewhat dissatisfied with Dou Wu that Liu Hong decided to take action against Dou Wu. If the family was still on Dou Wu's side, then Liu Hong would not do it now, and kill you while you are sick.

Liu Hong knows this well.Therefore, they also made this plan. The eunuch's soldiers and horses were brought out by Liu Hong by default. The eunuch had Liu Hong's tacit approval. Coupled with the recent confusing attitude of the family,

It gave the eunuchs self-confidence. They believed that Liu Hong still appointed eunuchs like Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, but what they didn't know was that if Dou Wu was there, they could survive, but if Dou Wu wasn't there, there would be no need for eunuchs to exist anymore. .

The two factions are at odds with each other.But both people want to kill each other. This is simply a irony.
