The Nameless of the Common Clans

Although the addition of Cao Jun gave the Luoyang rebel army a few more troops, Zhao Shen, Yuan Zheng and others who had experienced previous battles knew very well that sometimes large numbers of people may not be useful in this battle.

On the tower of the palace, Wang Biao sneered as he looked at the mighty incoming army. Just as he was about to order the arrows to be fired, a figure suddenly walked out from the shadows and saluted Wang Biao: "Uncle Wang, wait a minute."

"Ah-Dai?" Wang Biao turned his head and looked at Ah-Dai who appeared in his sight in surprise: "When did you come?"

"I've always been there." Yang Qing smiled slightly. Not many people called him by his nickname "Dai" now. Then he said solemnly: "My lord has an order, let them in."

"Huh?" Wang Biao frowned and looked at the token in Dumb's hand: "Let them in, then His Majesty..."

"This nephew doesn't know." Yang Qing shook his head and said, "Sir, please give me the order. Let me come and deliver the order."

Wang Biao carefully looked at the token in Yang Qing's hand. Although he didn't know the reason, there was no need to know now. As a general, he only had to do one thing, which was to obey orders.

At that moment, Wang Biao ignored the rushing troops, waved his hand and said: "The Yulin army obeys the order and retreats!"

Although the soldiers of the Yulin Army did not understand the meaning, they had to obey the order once it was given. Following Wang Biao's order, the Yulin Army, which was waiting in full formation, quickly retreated into the Beigong to hide.

Zhao Shen and Yuan Zheng were already prepared to rush into the palace with all their might. Unexpectedly, there was no resistance from above the palace. Until Yuan Zheng led his men and horses to break open the palace door and rush into the corridor, everyone was still a little scared. stupid.

"Where are the people?" Liu Zhen said in shock after entering the palace gate and looking at the empty palace.

"Never seen it." Zhao Shen shook his head, turned to look at Yuan Zheng and said: "Yuan Zheng, you and other Cao Jun soldiers guard the palace gate, and I will go to meet His Majesty."

"Here!" Yuan Zheng agreed. Cao's soldiers were without a commander, and they didn't know what to do. Since Yuan Zheng spoke, he obeyed.

After Zhao Shen finished making arrangements, he took Liu Zhen and a group of soldiers straight to Liu Neng's palace.

In the palace, the sounds of crying and fighting in the city could be vaguely heard. Liu Neng walked around the palace with some anxiety. The concubines in the harem that he had been obsessed with in the past also lost their appeal now and were kicked out of the palace by him. , leaving only a few eunuchs to serve.

"Is there any news outside the palace?" Liu Neng couldn't remember how many times this was the question.

The eunuch who was summoned by him shook his head, let alone the news, there was not even a soldier in the palace to report the news that night.

Liu Neng wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard a lot of hurried footsteps coming from outside the palace. Liu Neng's expression couldn't help but change, and he stared straight at the outside of the palace. When he saw Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen coming in first, Liu Neng couldn't help but change. Neng finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by uncontrollable ecstasy. Does the arrival of these two people at this time mean that the plan against Chen Mo was successful?

"See your majesty!" Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen came in and bowed to Liu Neng.

"No need to be polite." Liu Neng waved his hand impatiently, looked at the two of them, and asked expectantly: "Has it been successful?"

Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen were stunned when they heard the words, and looked at each other, hoping that the other would speak.

When Liu Neng saw the two people's behavior, his heart sank for no reason. He had been in the market in his early years and was the most observant. When he saw the two people's appearance, Liu Neng knew that something was wrong. He looked at Liu Zhen and said solemnly: "Brother Wang, tell me!"

After Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, except for the internal thief, the secrets were leaked among us. As a result, Chen thief's men were already prepared. Tonight, all four troops, including the Cao army who came to support, were defeated by Chen thief." The thieves' men were defeated and now they had to retreat into the palace to wait for Cao Cao's army to come to support them."

"Pfft~" Liu Neng's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground, staring at the two of them in a daze. He had been waiting all night, but what he finally got was this result, which was a little hard for Liu Neng to accept.

"Your Majesty!?" The eunuch beside him exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to help Liu Neng up.

"Trash! Bastard!" Liu Neng stood up nervously, pointed at their noses and roared: "What did you tell me before? This battle will definitely be successful? What does this mean now? Ah?"

Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen were both speechless. When they made the promise to Liu Neng, they were full of confidence. Who would have thought that when they actually took action, they would end up like this?

"Your Majesty, calm down, it's all the fault of that old thief Sima for betraying us!" Liu Zhen lowered his head for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"Old thief Sima?" Liu Neng frowned and glanced at Liu Zhen, then reacted and said with some disbelief: "Are you talking about the great Sinong Sima Fang?"

Sima Fang has always been on the opposite side of Chen Mo. Every time he went to court, the three princes were silent about the policies proposed by Chen Mo. Sima Fang was the only one who was in tit-for-tat confrontation with Chen Mo. No wonder Liu Neng was shocked and wanted to break his head. He didn't expect that Sima Fang had betrayed him. He looked at the two of them with suspicion and said, "After the incident was revealed, could you just drag someone in to take the blame?"

"It's this old thief!" Liu Zhen nodded fiercely and said, "Tonight this old thief is going to join us, so I'm already suspicious. But when we take action tonight, Chen Thief's subordinates seem to have already known what we're going to do." Generally speaking, not only do you first We let Guo Jian seize the military power of Yang Ding in one step, and laid ambushes in various important places early, which made our success fall short. Your Majesty, how can there be such a coincidence in this world? I think it must be the old thief Sima who leaked the secret, causing I’m waiting for a big defeat.”

Liu Neng paced back and forth a little irritably, feeling a little convinced in his heart. After a while, he turned to look at the other party and said, "Now that the matter is over, what can we do?"

"Your Majesty, at this moment, we must defend the palace. Now with the knowledge of Cao Jun who has gathered in our hands, although we are no match for Chen Thief's men, it is still feasible to defend the palace." Zhao Shen finally spoke, facing Liu Neng said: "As long as the palace is waiting for me, In our hands, we will not be considered defeated. A large number of loyal people will come to support us. Moreover, Yique Pass is still in our hands. Although Cao Jun is defeated, there are still a large number of elites outside. As long as the news here comes out, Cao Jun will surely We will enter the border and attack Luoyang to save His Majesty!"

Liu Neng hesitated and said, "What do you think... of making peace with the general at this time?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Shen was a little helpless. If you make peace at this time, if you don't say that you will no longer have a say in the court, those of us who helped will probably be doomed. Besides, you are the king and he is the minister, how can you be the emperor? To make peace with the ministers? Where is the majesty of the emperor? He immediately advised: "At this time, if we make peace, if Chen Mo takes advantage of the situation to force His Majesty to take the Zen position, will Your Majesty be willing?"

this……

Liu Neng stopped talking after hearing this. Although the emperor was a bit useless, his life was still completely different from before. If he really lost the throne, how would he support his concubines? And those children, that alone is a problem.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Neng frowned and said, "Although Chen Mo is rebellious, it's not like that, right?"

"Your Majesty, if Chen Mo wins this battle, the Central Plains will be his, and the unification of the world will be just around the corner. Your Majesty, what do you think Chen Mo has to worry about at that time?" Liu Zhen said in a deep voice: "If you really force your Majesty to give in, what will happen under the Nine Springs?" , how can we, the descendants of the Han Dynasty, have the face to face the ancestors of the Han Dynasty? "

Hearing this, Liu Neng thought about Chen Mo's power now and sighed: "But how long can I guard it now? My two dear friends, I must not believe it, but now that the secret has been leaked, is Yique Pass really still in my hands? "

Now Liu Neng no longer dares to believe the words of people like Zhao Shen. Before, these people had sworn so confidently that Chen Mo could be wiped out with just one hand. What now? The one who was beaten could only shrink into the palace.

Since there is a traitor inside and all actions have been noticed, why do you think Yiqueguan is still in your hands?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the evidence that Yang Wei betrayed Chen Mo is now in our hands. He definitely dare not betray. Even if someone wants to seize power, there are no more troops around Luoyang to mobilize. How to seize the Yique Pass? It must still be in Yang Wei's hands now," Zhao Shen comforted.

Liu Neng shook his head: "My dear, please don't forget that Yang Ding also had a large number of troops before, but in the end, Guo Mian easily seized power?"

He finally figured it out. It was not difficult to pick out a few generals from Chen Mo, but it was really difficult to seize military power from him. Even if the generals betrayed them, these soldiers only recognized Chen Mo. Recognize generals Yes, although Zhao Shen and others did not say it, it can be seen from the fact that the Hedong Army was easily seized by Guo Yao, and under the leadership of Guo Yao, he came directly to Luoyang to put down the rebellion. Unless Chen Mo died, otherwise, he wanted to seize the military power. It's too difficult.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and we have no way out!" Liu Zhen frowned and said, if the matter fails, Liu Neng will be fine, but they want to ransack their homes, or in other words, Li Ru may have already ransacked their homes. , what they want now is to hold on for a while longer. As long as Yiqueguan is in hand, they will still have a chance.

"This matter is too dangerous." Liu Neng shook his head. It is impossible to expect these people to succeed. What he has to do now is to draw a clear line. Don't wait for Chen Mo to count himself in the reckoning. In fact, he is a puppet emperor... It’s not unacceptable. It’s better than being abolished, right?

Seeing the ugly faces of Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen, Liu Neng thought for a while and said: "The two Qings should break out of the encirclement and escape while they still have soldiers and horses, so as to save some energy for a future comeback."

Zhao Shen and Liu Zhen looked at each other. If they could get out, they would never return to the palace. What they didn't expect was that Liu Neng was not willing to continue to cooperate with them.

"Your Majesty!" The two sides reached a certain consensus in an instant. Zhao Shen bowed and said: "In order to protect the continuation of the Han Dynasty, I have no choice but to offend!"

Liu Neng frowned, what do you mean?

"Wait, sir..." Looking at the two people who suddenly stood up, Liu Neng sensed something was wrong and instinctively took a step back.

"Your Majesty, please follow me to the palace city and call on the martyrs of Luoyang to come to help!"

"You... are brave!" Liu Neng suddenly changed his expression and wanted to say something else, but Zhao Shen ordered someone to drive him out of the palace.
