The General's Mansion on the right is brightly lit.
In the lobby, Liu Cheng sat on the main seat, with Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Li Ru, Zhu Jianping, Zhang Ji and others standing on both sides.
A soldier came in with two swordsmen.
The one on the left was tall and thin, and the one on the right was short and stocky.
Judging from their walking pace, it was obvious that they were all skilled in martial arts.
Zhu Jianping stood up and introduced Liu Cheng and other counselors present: "My lord, colleagues, the tall and thin one on the left is named Xu Shu, and the short and stocky one on the right is named Shi Tao.
They are both from Yingchuan County.
They are Now the two most outstanding guests among the guests of the Lord's Mansion are not only talented in martial arts and have extraordinary swordsmanship, but they are also knowledgeable, well-read and courageous."
The two of them clasped their fists together and bowed to Liu Cheng: "Greetings to the Marquis."
"Xu Shu" Liu Cheng was stunned.
Why did Xu Shu come to Luoyang and join his house as a retainer?
And this Shi Tao should be Shi Guangyuan.
Seeing that Xu Shu should be around 20 years old now, Liu Cheng got up and walked to the hall and walked around the two people, observing their reactions while walking.
The two people began to beat their hearts, and the master watched around what do they mean Liu Cheng returned to the two of them and stopped and asked, "Since you are both scholars, do you have any words?"
Xu Shu cupped his fists and said: "Back to Lord Marquis, my courtesy name is Yuanzhi, and Brother Shi's courtesy name is Guangyuan."
At this time, Zhang Ji came over and handed a bamboo slip to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng opened the bamboo slip and looked at it.
He glanced at Xu Shu and continued to look down.
After reading the bamboo slip, he asked: "Xu Shu, a native of Yingchuan, you But there are other names” Xu Shu's heart skipped a beat, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his mind went through countless circles in an instant.
He seemed to have figured something out, clasped his fists and bowed, "Back to Lord Marquis, to be honest, Xu Shu's real name is Xu Fu. because of friends He was caught by the government in revenge, but was later rescued by his friends, so he fled and wandered to the capital, changing his name to Xu Fu.
When he entered the palace of the Marquis, he was afraid that people would find out that Xu Shu had committed a crime and he would not be hired, so he concealed this past incident.
"Who are the friends?"
Shi Tao immediately cupped his fists and bowed and said: "Master Hou, Yuan Zhi was arrested to avenge me.
There is a powerful man named Du Kui in Yingchuan Changshe.
This man does evil, bullies men and women, and does all kinds of evil.
I have a few arguments with him.
Just a sentence He was swarmed by his servants and severely wounded.
When Yuan Zhi found out, he was furious and immediately went to seek revenge on him.
He killed Du Kui, but was caught by the government.
After he recovered from his injuries, he gathered a group of friends in the world, and first asked people to We invited the jailers to have a drink, mobilized most of the guards, and then rushed into the prison with other friends and rescued Yuan Zhi.
After the government found out, they immediately issued an official notice to arrest us.
We had no choice but to flee far away and came here.
Luoyang.
A few days ago, we learned about Dong Zhuo's evil deeds and heard that the Marquis's house was recruiting talents from all over the world.
We wanted to help get rid of Dong Zhuo, so we entered the Marquis's house and became his retainers.
We did not deliberately conceal our names to deceive.
"Marquis" "Hahaha" Liu Cheng laughed, then patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "You two are loyal, courageous, brave and resourceful.
How can I blame you two for this?
It's really true that you two have the talent to be my disciples."
That's too much of an inconvenience to your talents.
Let's do this.
You two will serve as ministers under my account for the time being.
After you have made great achievements, I will promote and appoint you as appropriate.
How about?"
Xu Shu and Shi Tao were overjoyed and immediately clasped their fists and bowed: "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis."

Liu Cheng nodded and glanced at Jia Xu.
Upon seeing this, Jia Xu knew that it was his turn to play.
He stood up and said to Xu Shu and Shi Tao: "Yuan Zhi, Guang Yuan, there is something for you to do now, and I will do it for you."
Opportunity.
We have received news that Dong Zhuo will lead his troops into the palace early tomorrow morning to depose the emperor and install a new emperor during the court meeting.
This is treason.
The Marquis would never agree to this move, nor would he allow Dong Zhuo to succeed.
The knowledgeable people in the world would not allow Dong Zhuo to cause trouble and misbehave.
We learned that Dong Zhuo bribed the Royal Forest Army Sima Xia Chaozong and his military commander Fan Ji.
Let the two of them guard the Zhuque Gate and Canglong Gate of the Nangong respectively.
Open the palace gate early tomorrow morning to welcome Dong Zhuo to lead his troops into the palace.
We have already sent Xia Chaozong and Fan Ji was captured, and after interrogation, the two of them confessed the truth.
The Marquis decided to take advantage of his plan and sent troops into the palace to ambush him tonight.
The two men also felt regretful and promised to meet Dong Zhuo and lead troops into the palace as usual tomorrow, but the Marquis Worried that the two men would change their minds before the battle, they would leak the news of an ambush in the palace to Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, it was necessary to send two men with strong swordsmanship, boldness, carefulness and good intentions.
Just men should follow these two men and keep an eye on them.
If these two men surrender to the enemy in battle, you two should kill them immediately without hesitation, take over the city gate guards to resist Dong Zhuo's army, and send a signal to the palace to warn; If they cooperate honestly, you two don't have to take action.
In short, your mission is focused on them.
I wonder if you two have the courage to take on this mission."
Xu Shu and Shi Tao looked at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Why don't you dare?
Please give the order to the Marquis."
Liu Cheng waved to the door: "Come here, bring this person up."
After a while, Xia Chaozong and Fan Yi were brought up one after another.
Liu Cheng asked Xu Shu to follow Xia Chaozong and Shi Tao to follow Fan Ji.
After explaining the matter, he asked them to go to the wing to rest first and wait until Yinshi to call them.
Liu Cheng wrote another warrant and gave it to Zhang Ji, telling him: "Take my warrant and go to the Beijun camp to find the agent, and ask him to take 1,000 infantry and 2,000 archers to Nangong.
You must not make too much noise." , Dong Zhuo hasn't had time to send someone to take over the money.
In my yamen, the people who are performing street patrols are still people left by Ding Yuan.
My general has sent people to say hello that there will be no troops patrolling from the Beijun barracks to Nangong.
Instead, they will block irrelevant people from entering these streets.
Street, you have to move quickly."
"clear" At this time, operations had quietly begun in the palace.
Under the leadership of Yan Xing, Wang Shuang and Lu Weihuang, the Yulin Army and the Huben Army launched a silent attack on Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses stationed in the palace who belonged to the Two Palace Guards Order. attack.
A group of Xiliang soldiers lined up in a column holding spears and patrolled a hundred meters away near Zhuque Que.
A group of Yulin soldiers came towards them.
The two sides had jointly maintained the security of the palace for a long time.
This situation for Xiliang Although the soldiers were not very friendly to the oncoming Yulin army, they were not wary at all.
The two patrols staggered and were about to pass by each other.
After the leader Shi Chang coughed, the Yulin army burst into attack at the same time.
They turned around at the same time and thrust their spears into the bodies of the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side at extremely fast speeds.
In the middle of the attack, this group of Xiliang soldiers were defenseless, and they were all stabbed to the ground in an instant.
Those who were not dead were stabbed twice in succession.
"Quick, hide the body."
The commander of the Yulin Army immediately waved his hand and ordered.
The soldiers acted quickly.

Two people carried a body and quickly hid the body in the flower bed.
Then they wiped the blood on the spears and continued.
Patrol forward.
This situation was staged everywhere in the North and South Nangong.
Teams of patrolling Xiliang soldiers were quietly killed.
Although several teams had accidents in the process, in the end there was not much movement.
After all the patrolling Xiliang soldiers were dealt with, it was the Xiliang soldiers standing guard who had to be dealt with next.
The Yulin Army is almost all cavalry, while the Huben Army has only a small number of cavalry, and most of them are infantry.
The Yulin Army's cavalry are not only equipped with spears, swords, but also bows and arrows, and these bows and arrows are used to shoot those standing guard.
The best weapon of the Xiliang soldiers.
They stood there motionless.
Yan Xing found a dozen soldiers with strong archery skills to carry out targeted killings near various guard points.
Each Xiliang soldier was shot down and died silently. .
After these Xiliang soldiers standing guard were dealt with, it was finally the turn of those Xiliang soldiers sleeping in the barracks to suffer.
After solving the barrack sentries, led by Yan Xing, Wang Shuang and Lu Weihuang, the Yulin army quietly surrounded their barracks, and the officers and soldiers of the Huben army entered the barracks with swords in hand.
"Who is it?"
A loud shout suddenly came from a certain bed in the darkness.
There was a "whoosh", followed by a pop sound, and the person who shouted had been shot.
But this loud shout woke up many Xiliang soldiers.
In desperation, the team officer leading the team could only order an attack.
For a moment, the swords and swords reflected each other, and blood arrows sprayed out.
The barracks began to be filled with The smell of blood.
All the Xiliang soldiers in some barracks were killed silently.
An accident occurred in some barracks, which woke up the sleeping Xiliang soldiers.
However, these Xiliang soldiers were in a hurry and could not find their weapons before.
They were not even wearing clothes.
They were no match for the Yulin Army and the Huben Army, and were quickly killed.
The guards of the two palaces ordered Zhou Ge and Lu Chi to be escorted in front of Yan Xing by several soldiers.
Both of them were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, their hair was disheveled, and they were in such a mess.
"Kneel down, kneel down!"
the soldiers shouted one after another and forced Zhou Ge and Lu Chi down in front of Yan Xing.
Lu Weihuang stared at the two men with a bloody horse-cutting sword and sneered: "Zhou Ge, Lu Chi, you two evil dogs are so cruel today.
You can look at each other again.
In the past, you relied on Dong Zhuo's support to win in front of me."
Five people and six, if it weren’t for the general’s strict prohibition not to easily conflict with you thieves, I would have killed you long ago.”
Wang Shuang, who was also covered in blood, said at this time: "Although the methods of today's battle were a little more insidious, the killing was really fast.
But Brother Yan, it's getting late.
The general is still waiting for me to go back and report the news.
Yes Instead of finishing them quickly, I can rush back and report to the general as soon as possible."
"No problem" Yan Xing nodded and raised his chin towards Lu Weihuang: "Give them a good time" "Okay."
Lu Weihuang was so happy that his mouth burst into laughter.
He raised the knife and struck it one at a time, causing two heads to fall to the ground.
Seeing that both of them had been beheaded, Yan Xing said to Wang Shuang, "Brother Wang, please go back and report to my eldest brother.
Tell him that all the people Dong Zhuo arranged in the North and South Palaces have been eliminated.
Please rest assured."

"Okay, I'll go back now.
By the way, there may be soldiers from the Northern Army entering the palace later to ambush tomorrow.
You need to open the palace door and let them in.
The leader should be Zhongji.
How to arrange it?
Ambush, you and Zhong Ji have agreed to complete the deployment before dawn, and then quickly send someone to the general's mansion to report the deployment situation."
"Okay, don't worry" After Wang Shuang left, Yan Xing immediately ordered the soldiers to take action, carry away all the corpses and hide them in secret places, and then mobilized the eunuchs and maids to clean the ground to make it spotless.
Not long after, Zhong Ji arrived with 3,000 Northern Army soldiers.
They took the complex route and directly arrived at the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the Nangong.
Yan Xing personally rushed over to check and ordered the Xuanwu Gate to be opened to let the 3,000 Northern Army soldiers.
Entered Nangong
