"I don't ask for birth on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year."

Has anyone ever said this sentence during the Three Kingdoms period? When Luo Guanzhong wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he asked Liu Guanzhang to join forces in Taoyuan. Is there any historical prototype basis?

It can be said responsibly that Liu Guanzhang certainly never said such words in official history, but these words also have their origins.

Just like Cao Cao's "I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than to betray me" does not exist, but "I would rather betray people than to betray me".

The prototype of "I don't ask for birth on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day of the same month of the same year" is "Born on the same day, but cooking on the same day", which is what Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan, and Zhang An, and was eaten by Dong Zhuo after being defeated and captured by Zhang An in Yuzhou. Although there is no record of the official history, it comes from Wang Can's "The Legend of Heroes".

...

On the ninth day of the second month, Bi Guiyuan, south of Luoyang City.

This should be the last shift of the luxurious royal garden built by Emperor Ling of Han. From now on, Dong Zhuo no longer intends to come here again and prepare to burn it.

Since the palace and garden are all going to burn, there is no need to raise the rare birds and beasts in the garden.

Dong Zhuo has been in a very angry and terrible mood these days, because after he calmed down and enjoyed for a winter, he actually heard that Yuan Shu sent his troops to attack him again!

Is there any more to go! The Yuan Shao coalition of the sour jujube has retreated. Yuan Shu, a coward, is still there to mobilize troops and make trouble, but he himself dares not lead the troops himself. He is not a big deal of Jingzhou and Yuzhou prefects come to be cannon fodder!

In order to shock Yuan Shu and reflect Dong Gong's control over the court, Dong Zhuo will hold a banquet in Biguiyuan today and invite other court officials who are still in Luoyang and have more than 2,000 stones to see what the challenger will end up with!

"The prime minister has a safe country."

"Thank you to the prime minister's kind hospitality."

More than a dozen senior court officials who stayed in Luoyang came to the banquet place tremblingly and took their seats as directed. Among them, the highest official position was Situ Wang Yun.

Dong Zhuo Shi was sitting in the middle of the main seat, smiling and comforting everyone: "You guys, listen to my words. Recently, Yuan Shu sent some rebels to disturb Sili. I have asked Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong and Lu Bu to defeat him with thunder! You are old ministers of the court. As long as you are loyal, I can protect you from glory and wealth!"

Dong Zhuo paused for a moment when he said this. Wang Yun reacted quickly. He knew that he had to support the actor at this moment. He quickly led the other court officials and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, to be respected!"

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and waved wildly: "Come here! Come on! Today, I'll let you see the fate of these jumping clowns to help you enjoy the wine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a team of warriors besieged more than a dozen stripped-down prisoners and lined up at the gate of Hanguang Pavilion, the main hall of the garden.

It turns out that these people are the officials of Yuzhou's attack on Dong Jun led by Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan, and Zhang An of Yuzhou.

Dong Zhuo whispered a few words. Others immediately set up two large oil pans in the middle of Hanguang Pavilion, and then placed a row of barbecue racks and a square bronze wine storage giant.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand? The dozen captured young officials who fought against Dong Jun were cut off their hands and feet first, and screams in front of the pavilion were endless. Blood was like a spring, and they were mixed with the wine in the bronze wine cage.

The arms and legs are skewed directly on the barbecue grill? They also caught the cranes raised by the late emperor in the garden. They cut the cranes with their wings and their legs and roasted them together. Each skewer is filled with a piece of crane meat, which is like a mixed roast skewer.

"Come on, come on, I will drink this sorrow with you!" Dong Zhuo was getting more and more excited. He grabbed the palace maids of the last emperor in public. While drinking blood wine, he directly opened the palace maids, acting arrogantly as if he had entered a state of no one.

Wang Yun, Zhang Wen, and others were all trembling, and they did not dare not eat or drink. Due to their tyranny, they had to drink blood wine and eat roasted wings together.

After a while, all the people who followed him were killed and the oil pan was boiling. Dong Zhuo then ordered the evil spirit to throw the koi from Bi Guiyuan's pond into the oil pan together.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, I want to avenge the country and kill the thieves. The matter was not done. This is the heaven. General Sun and General Guan will avenge us! Hua Xiong came to Yangcheng to attack us? I never expected it? But since Hua Xiong left Liang County lightly, General Sun will definitely capture Hua Xiong's headquarters! Dong Thief! You will not be too long!"

The prefect of Yingchuan Li Min, who saw that the oil had splashed onto his calves, laughed loudly. Anyway, it was a death, so it would be better to say a few more words to scold the thief.

Zhang An, a member of Yuzhou, was speechless when he heard Li Min's scolding, and felt that he would not scold him for nothing: "Mr. Li, although you and I have been together because of the national crisis, we have not worked together for a long time. Isn't it a pleasure to have a child on the same day? I will recognize you as my brother in the next life!"

The two laughed and jumped into the oil pan where they were already cooking koi. After a while, they were blown into soup and brought to Dong Zhuo's desk.

Dong Zhuo was so angry that his face was bulging. He originally planned to use today's terrifying deterrence to silence the rebels in the court. Unexpectedly, the deceased man was so generous, which instead hit Dong Zhuo's morale.

Dong Zhuo, who was so angry that he was itchy, directly copied Li Min's arm bone, bit off a few pieces of muscle that had not been blown down, and yelled hysterically: "I said I wanted to eat the meat of a rebel, I did what I said!"

After biting for a while, Dong Zhuo still felt unhappy, but saw his adviser Li Ru suddenly strode into Hanguang Pavilion, his face a little embarrassed.

"Why do you need to report urgently? Just say it!" Dong Zhuo slapped the table, telling Li Ru not to wink.

Li Ru looked at the ministers next to him and whispered in embarrassment: "I heard from the army that Sun Jian and the Hanzhong prefect Guan Yu joined forces to the north and took advantage of Huaxiong's reinforcement of Yangcheng to attack Liang County. At present, the two armies are west of Yangcheng, and are facing each other across Yingchuan at the foot of Songshan."

Dong Zhuo heard it and burst into tears.

It’s really a pot that doesn’t open. I just cooked and killed Li Min, and was still eating Li Min’s arm and shocked the ministers. I was slapped in the face by Li Min’s prophecy before his death!

"Bad!" Dong Zhuo directly raised the table in front of him and shouted loudly: "Let Hua Xiong fight immediately! My powerful army in the court, who allowed him to confront the rebels across the river! Our army must take the initiative to attack, including Feng Xianwuer, Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong, three generals, and tens of thousands of soldiers. What is the principle of confronting Sun Jian and Guan Yu! Tell Hua Xiong that those who dare to fight again will be beheaded and ordered the military law!"

After venting this way, Dong Zhuo felt that he still couldn't find his face. He walked back and forth like an irritable wild boar, and suddenly a vicious plan came to his heart.

"Then Sun Jian was able to find the opportunity for Huaxiong to reinforce Yangcheng so cleverly and raid Liang County. It must be that there was an in-command in the court who leaked the military situation of the imperial army's deployment! Wenyou, didn't you find out? This is your dereliction of duty!"

Li Ru frowned. He knew that Dong Zhuo was trying to establish his authority. He probably wanted to kill a minister in the court with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian to establish his authority, and to blame the defeat of Liang County on "our army's intelligence was leaked by traitors", so that people can regain their hearts.

Li Ru had no choice but to cooperate with the acting: "En Xiang said so much. In fact, my subordinates have some clues, but there is no ironclad evidence. Please treat En Xiang with a little bit!"

Li Ru said, retreated out of Hanguang Pavilion. After a while, he brought several confessions and whispered to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo frowned fiercely, and slapped his thighs with a grim smile: "It's not as expected by me! Yes!"

The last "Yeah", just a sound of pouting and sniffing. The court officials on both sides couldn't help but look at them with their eyes and noticed that Dong Zhuo's nose was finally facing Wei Wei Zhang Wen.

Li Ru waved his hand and immediately two warriors came to obey the order. Li Ru whispered a few words, and the warrior pulled Zhang Wen away.

After a while, in the horror of the ministers, Li Ru asked the warrior to come in with a plate of a human head again, carried the human head to display it in a circle, and threw it into a bronze wine magazine containing some human blood.

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with the effect and said proudly: "Don't be surprised. Zhang Wen was Sun Jian's boss. When he was fighting the Qiang Rebellion, he and Sun Jian had conspired to kill me. It was because I did not remember the villain's faults and let this idle waste be kept in the court.

I never thought that he really colluded with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian today, hoping to be an internal supporter. Hua Xiong led his troops forward, and the empty military situation in Liang County was revealed to the rebels by Zhang Wen. Chacai Wenyou tortured the rebel prisoners and had already received confessions! So he killed him!"

Don’t say, Dong Zhuo’s words are quite convincing, because the grudge between Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo was first formed when Zhang Wen was the Grand Marshal and the generals of the army to attack the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou. All the ministers in the court knew about this.

It was still Zhang Chun at that time. Before the Qu Xing and mercenary incident broke out, Sun Jian was Zhang Wen's army, and Dong Zhuo was already the general of the Central Army, and he was also under the control of Zhang Wen in the battle against Qiang. Once, Zhang Wen wanted to summon Dong Zhuo's troops to attack Han Sui. In order to preserve his strength, Dong Zhuo could not delay, Sun Jian suggested that Zhang Wen use the military law "no call" to behead Dong Zhuo to deter the rest.

Since Sun Jian had advised Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo back then, now that Sun Jian has come, Zhang Wen regrets wanting to be an insider, and it is logically very smooth.

Therefore, other court officials staying in Luo, except Wang Yun, were really scared by Dong Zhuo again, and stabilized the hearts of the people.

Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo had already been defeated by the bad news of Liang County. Jiuxing was cold after such trouble. He was too lazy to eat anymore. He kicked Li Min's koi pot and left. That night, he had to kill a few more palace maids to vent his anger.

...

Two days later, Songshan-Yingchuan Front, Dong Zhuo's army camp.

Hua Xiong and others received the order from Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo was still moral and did not send a messenger to send an empty-handed white-fanged order, but at least two generals were sent to bring reinforcements.

The reinforcements were named Fan Chou and Li Meng. The number of reinforcements was 5,000, half of which were Xiliang Iron Cavalry. In addition, Huaxiong's headquarters had more than 8,000 people, and Lu Bu and Hu Zhen's 15,000 troops, combined with nearly 30,000 total troops.

Fan Chou did not be polite to Hua Xiong and announced directly: "General Hua, the prime minister, has an order. He must take the initiative to cross Yingchuan and repel Sun Jian and Guan Yu as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be held accountable for losing Liang County and be engaged in military law!"

Hua Xiong was very embarrassed: "Now the enemy and our army are separated by Yingchuan, whoever crosses the river will suffer, why should we attack the main attack?"

Fan Chou looked stern: "Is this what you should ask? Li Shangshu sympathized with you and asked one more sentence: What the prime minister is considering is not casualties, but whether the thunder can shock the rebels. Facing the mere Sun Jian and Guan Yu, even if he wins, if he cannot win quickly, it will make other princes ready to move! If he does not cross the river to seek war within three days, he will be engaged in military law!"

Hu Zhen and Lu Bu were watching the show with their hands crossed. Anyway, they were the garrisons in Yangcheng, responsible for facing the rebels in Yuzhou, and Hua Xiong was the garrison in Liang County, responsible for the rebels in Jingzhou.

Now that the rebels in Yuzhou have been destroyed, it is because the rebels in Jingzhou have entered the country. It is also Hua Xiong's responsibility to hold them accountable.

Hua Xiong had no choice but to lead his troops across the river to attack, but he begged the other generals to send troops together.
