In the general's mansion.

He Jin was no longer at a loss as before. Now he was looking at the people around him with a sad face.

"Everyone! His Majesty has passed away. The Ten Eunuchs blocked the news and kept it a secret. Not long ago, they also hid their armored soldiers and wanted to take my life!"

"Now the palace is saying that they want to support the prince Xie as the emperor."

After hearing this, the people around him were relieved at first. After all, it didn't matter if the emperor died.

People respect the emperor, but it doesn't matter who sits on the throne.

Now the Ten Eunuchs have lost the emperor's trump card. No matter whether the emperor ordered He Jin to be killed or not, there is no evidence now.

Before the new emperor ascended the throne, everyone was evenly matched, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"You are all famous people today. Do you have any good ideas?"

He Jin wandered around the hall for a long time and couldn't think of a good way. He could only pin his hopes on everyone's help.

Yuan Shao sat at the desk, his posture was upright but he could not hide the deep ravines between his eyebrows, as if every thought had condensed into heavy lead clouds, lingering. His eyes flickered in the interweaving of light and shadow, and his heart was like a surging river and sea, magnificent but difficult to find an outlet.

Indecisiveness, this mark of character, was particularly obvious when he faced major decisions. Countless strategies flashed in his mind like stars, but they were slow to converge.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu was a completely different scene. His blood was boiling at this moment, and his eyes were burning with a flame of determination, as if the whole chaotic world was a stage carefully arranged for him.

The Yuan family's years of planning seemed to turn into the surging blood in his chest at this moment. He knew very well that this chaotic world was a godsend opportunity for their Yuan family to make great plans. How could it not make people excited and eager to try?

But this Skeleton King was only excited. If he was really asked to come up with a plan, I'm afraid he really couldn't come up with one.

There is also Chen Lin, who is a master of calligraphy, with sharp pen strokes. You can ask him to write something, but if you ask him to give you advice, he will probably be in a daze.

Just when He Jin was at a loss.

Cao Cao took a steady step and stood in front of everyone, his eyes flashing with unquestionable determination.

"My colleagues, the current situation is critical, and the first priority is to stabilize the country and rule the world! Only in this way can we unite the people, fight against the traitors together, and restore the government and the country to a clear state!"

His voice was steady and powerful, penetrating the tension and anxiety in the air, like an invisible force, guiding everyone's thoughts.

Yuan Shao was also shocked when he heard the words, and then he responded with great enthusiasm: "Well said! The sword in my hand is still sharp, and I swear to cut off all the injustice in the world! I am willing to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the heartland of Guanzhong, not only to enthrone the new king, but also to wipe out the disaster of eunuchs in one fell swoop, and return the bright and clear world of the Han Dynasty to me!"

After speaking, he looked around with a torch-like gaze. His determination to move forward despite difficulties moved everyone present. However, he changed the subject and added a touch of worry: "Without a complete tiger talisman, it is really difficult to mobilize troops. More than 100 cavalry will not go out without the tiger talisman."

Cao Cao's words were like a pool of icy water suddenly poured in winter, instantly cooling the air around him, making everyone present feel nervous.

The tiger talisman is a symbol of power and trust. It is made of pure copper and ingeniously cast into its shape, with an ancient inscription engraved on the back. It is divided into two parts, like the two poles of yin and yang. One half is locked deep in the imperial city, guarding the majesty of the imperial power; the other half is like a messenger, shuttling between generals, carrying the heavy responsibility of dispatching troops.

Whenever a war breaks out and the situation changes, only when these two tiger talismans fit perfectly and the inscriptions are intertwined can the army be mobilized.

And each tiger talisman corresponds to an elite division, one talisman for one army, rigorous and orderly, ensuring the absolute concentration of military power and unquestionable dispatch.

At this moment, in Luoyang City, the left part of the tiger talisman is all in the hands of the generals leading the troops, while the right half is all sealed in the palace and kept by the eunuchs.

This is also Liu Hong's means of balancing power in the court.

Now He Jin only has the title of general, and he can't mobilize any of the garrisons around Luoyang.

There have indeed been cases in history where the army can be mobilized without a military talisman, that is, the status of the generals in the hearts of the soldiers has a very high prestige.

But it is obvious that General He Jin does not have such conditions. His rise to power is entirely due to his influence. He has no military merits to speak of, and it is almost impossible for him to gather soldiers.

At this time, He Jin finally found his backbone and hurriedly ran to Cao Cao.

"What good ideas does Meng De have? Please teach me quickly.Me!"

He has been a general for many years. Although he has no political talent, his vision of people is never too bad.

Look at the people in this room, wearing silk and satin, all of them are drunkards. No one can give him advice at the critical moment. These people have no opinions. Only Cao Cao can make a decision.

As we all know, it may only take a few minutes to decide the outcome on the battlefield. Whoever can seize the opportunity first will tilt the balance of victory.

The same is true for political struggles. Whoever can see through the essence first can make a decision as soon as possible and act quickly to win the final victory.

It is obvious that Cao Cao is such a person.

Cao Cao did not refuse at all, and said on the side: "The current strategy is that we first need to have the power to protect ourselves."

"The Ten Eunuchs have the Xiyuan Imperial Army. We are always worried about our lives, and those eunuchs have made a very wrong decision, that is, they choose to sit back and wait."

"You know, we don't have any military power. Once they come, we will definitely die! "

Everyone present broke out in a cold sweat, because if the Ten Eunuchs really followed Cao Cao's plan, they would be in danger.

Now the Ten Eunuchs control the imperial guards and the palace. After Liu Hong's death, they can mobilize the army under the pretext of the emperor's order, attack the general's mansion, and kill He Jin directly.

And it can be said that this is an imperial decree to fight against the enemy. Even if some people are dissatisfied, at that time, they have already grasped the overall situation and have a new emperor in hand.

At that time, they can completely control the emperor and have power over the court. Even if they are cursed in the future, what can they do? Throughout the ages, the eunuchs who have power over the court have all been cursed.

But fortunately, the Ten Eunuchs are just a group of slaves who can only serve people. They have low military attainments.
