What on earth is Dong Zhuo going to do?!

This is something that all the princes in the world want to know.

Although what Dong Zhuo wants to do may have been guessed by all the princes in the world.

Isn’t that the same “lie” they have promoted over and over again?

Now that the "lie" repeated a thousand times has actually become the truth, what kind of expression should they show at this time?

Perhaps the most unlikely thing is that faint smile...

Isn’t this a scam?

So how should we deal with this cheating situation?

Liu Yu: "We firmly oppose Dong Zhuo, a traitor not named Liu, who becomes king!"

Yuan Shao: "The strongest protest against Dong Zhuo, a traitor not named Liu, becoming king!"

Gongsun Zan: "Strongly protest against Dong Zhuo, a traitor not named Liu, becoming king!"

Liu Biao: "Protest against the treacherous minister Dong Zhuo who is not named Liu but who is proclaimed king!"

Yuan Shu: "We strongly protest against the traitor Dong Zhuo's move to become king!"

Cao Cao: "Strongly protest against the traitor Dong Zhuo's move to become king!"

Tao Qian: "We solemnly protest against the traitor Dong Zhuo's move to become king!"

Liu Yan: "Strongly condemn the traitor Dong Zhuo's move to become king!"

Li Shushi: "We are seriously concerned about Dong Zhuo's move to become king and will pay close attention to future developments!"

Bian Zhang & Ma Teng: "I regret Dong Zhuo's move to become king and will pay close attention to the development of future events!"

Then?

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were still at each other's throats in the east of Jizhou, but this time Liu Yu could no longer be the mastermind behind the scenes, because not only Yuan Shao had discovered clues about Liu Yu's actions and deduced Liu Yu's acting style.

On the other side, Gongsun Zan was also completely disappointed with Liu Yu because of the strange behavior of Karasuma Colonel Xing Ju.

After all, if it weren’t for Gongsun Zan’s release, it would have been impossible for Xing Ju’s ability to allow more than 7,000 troops to march in an unfamiliar place without being exposed. The fundamental reason why Gongsun Zan made such a bold decision

He just thinks that he still maintains a relatively tacit relationship with Liu Yu, who is behind Xing Ju.

But who knew that such a team would not have high hopes from Gongsun Zan. After all, Xing Ju's ability was far inferior to that of his predecessor Gong Qichou. On the battlefield between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, he would at most be a soy sauce waving flag.

The army that had to worry about being used by the enemy as a breakthrough point and becoming the main culprit of its own defeat actually stood up at a critical moment.

This was a position that Gongsun Zan had never expected.

Although this was an order issued by Xing Ju, based on Gongsun Zan's understanding of that incompetent guy, if the cautious Xing Ju had not been manipulated by someone behind the scenes, he would not dare to defeat Gongsun Zan if he was given twelve thousand ambitious men.

Must.

So the reasons that make it so tough are obviously self-evident.

Of course, this is not what makes Gongsun Zan most angry.

What makes Gongsun Zan most sad is that even so, he still cannot operate on Xing Ju, because under such a war result, if Liu Yu loses political support, Gongsun Zan will not gain much but suffer huge losses.

He was no match for Yuan Shao, who was far from broken.

Even if it weren't for Liu Yu's planning, there were multiple rebellions by local powerful forces in Anping, Qinghe, Julu and other places, which affected Yuan Shao's energy and troops. Gongsun Zan would never have had the time to lick his wounds and stabilize the rear.

After all, no matter how useless the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou are, having an excellent wise man like Yuan Fang in the middle will make people scratch their heads.

Of course, neither Liu Yu nor Gongsun Zan would have thought that those rebellions were expected by Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao could not accurately predict which powerful people would participate in the rebellion, Yuan Shao, who had been well prepared, was taking advantage of this rare opportunity.

This will provide an opportunity to purge some of the unsteady elements internally, thereby improving the cohesion within one's own forces.

As for Gongsun Zan, who is the biggest enemy in front of him?

In Yuan Shao's grand chess game of planning the world, Gongsun Zan obviously does not occupy an overly important position.

Such a conclusion is not that Yuan Shao is arrogant or despises his opponents, but is a conclusion reached after calm thinking.

Yuan Shao believes that in the future development, he will not make the same mistakes he made before.

And such Yuan Shao is undoubtedly very terrifying, far beyond Gongsun Zan's imagination.

However, just as Yuan Shao did not regard Gongsun Zan as the biggest obstacle to his success, the opponent he feared most...sorry, is not our Li Shushi, but the only one who has suppressed him from time to time since childhood.

Half brother Yuan Shu Yuan Gongli.

Don't look at our Yuan Shu children's shoes, which fell into ruin after defeating Sun Jian in the war with Liu Biao. Up to now, he has lost several battles in a row. Seeing that Wancheng, which is the seat of Nanyang and the core of Yuan Shu's rule, is already crumbling under the pressure of Liu Biao.

But this guy actually still had time to find trouble with his concubine brother, and the trouble he caused this time gave Yuan Shao another headache.

"I'm ****ing you bastard Tao Gongzu. Why did you get involved in the war between our brothers from the Yuan family if you weren't nesting in your one-third of an acre of land in Xuzhou? Did you eat the heart of a bear or the guts of a leopard?"

Having said that, Yuan Shao knew very well that the enemy Yuan Shu had found for him this time was much more difficult than Gongsun Zan.

After all, although the soldiers under Gongsun Zan are elite, their strategic depth is limited; secondly, they have not made much achievements in domestic affairs and cannot withstand protracted wars and tug-of-wars that test logistical capabilities; thirdly, the various talents under his command are limited.

After the war, even the military talents have withered a lot. It can be said that except for Gongsun Zan's personal war command ability, which is ranked at an upper-middle level among the princes of the Three Kingdoms, which is scary, the rest are basically at the level of Yuan Shao.

Explosive state.

As long as Yuan Shao holds Gongsun Zan's lifeline and uses his strategies, Gongsun Zan's destruction will only be a matter of time for Yuan Shao.

But Tao Qian is different.

Xuzhou can be said to have been relatively lightly affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It also has fertile land and rich products, especially the wealth brought by sea salt, which makes people envious, jealous and hateful. Although Tao Qian's men can fight

Shi Luxun Gongsun. But

The strength of the Danyang soldiers is definitely worthy of their reputation, especially those elite troops of Yuan Shaojun who returned from the northwest and focused their skills on how to deal with cavalry. They can deal with Danyang soldiers who have outstanding infantry combat capabilities and are good at crossbows.

force……

This is really a bit mysterious.

Not to mention that Tao Qian's reputation among scholars is far beyond that of Li Shushi and Dong Zhuo. As a celebrity who has experienced the disaster of party imprisonment, Tao Qian's appeal, skills, and sophistication tempered by years allow him to calmly mobilize any party.

Power - from the powerful families in Xuzhou to the Taishan bandits who are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, they are all chess pieces that Tao Qian can use flexibly.

It can be said that if Tao Qian's age had not put him at a stage where he could ascend to heaven at any time, perhaps the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who were fighting to the death at this time would have joined forces to destroy him after challenging Dong, instead of now

Scrambling to win over people hoping to use them for their own purposes.

Hmm. Anyone who believes that Tao Qian is a good man will definitely die miserably. Just like a certain black-skinned dwarf old man who is about to rush to the underworld.

As for the remaining princes, large and small, they are either busy fighting wars with surrounding forces, or busy farming and cultivating people, or they are not busy with large and small purges. The sky is so high, and the emperor is so far away. What happened in Chang'an

To them, everything is nothing more than talk after dinner. They cannot see such a distant future, and sorting out the immediate interest disputes has exhausted all their energy.

Perhaps to some extent, even guys like Li Shushi and Cao Cao are in this state.

"Heaven is dead. Huang Tian shall stand!"

At the foot of a certain mountain, flags were flying and shouts were thunderous. The troops gathered at the foot of the mountain were so densely packed that they stretched as far as the eye could see. There were more than hundreds of thousands of them. Everyone's head was wrapped in yellow scarves. Looking from a distance, it made people think they were entering a desert of yellow sand.

the illusion.

"Inheriting the legacy of the Great Master, someone must overthrow the tyranny, restore peace to the world, and promote the spirit of the Heavenly Master!"

The person who shouted these words was named Zhang Baiqi. He was a mysterious figure who suddenly appeared in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army a few months ago. He claimed to be a direct disciple of the great sage Zhang Jiao and has been lurking since the failure of the uprising.

Although his rhetoric sounds full of loopholes, and even the name he claims may not be found at all, Yu Du, Yang Feng, Sui Gu, and the good-minded Ma Cao, who are the top leaders of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, are...

However, they all accepted his statement as if they were all illuminated by the nc halo and respected him as the nominal commander-in-chief, with the title "General Pingtian".

After a lot of planning and liaison, the total number of various forces participating in this "second uprising" reached hundreds of thousands, and the areas it affected spread to every corner of the Central Plains.

The sudden outbreak of chaos in Hebei, Yanqing, Henan, Xu Jingyang and other states really caught the princes in the area unprepared.

The Yellow Turban troops who rebelled ranged from more than 100,000 to several thousand people. Although most of them were old, weak, women and children, even if the princes were able to put out the local rebellion, after losing such a large population, it would have a great impact on the local economy.

The blow is also unprecedented, not to mention the impact of the war on economic production is also not small.

Under the combined influence of both parties, the economy that had just recovered after the Yellow Turban Uprising suffered an unprecedented heavy blow. Moreover, within the foreseeable three to five years, without external support, the local local economy and the local economy will be damaged simply by relying on its own ability to restore blood.

Even if production cannot be said to be paralyzed, it is definitely difficult to recover.

As for the two prefectures of Yanyu and Henan, which are the hinterland of the Central Plains, because of the land reform policy that Li Shushi once implemented, many people participated in this turmoil. These refugees who gained land because of Li Shushi but lost their land because of the Returning Reunion Corps and

The local landowners have almost irreconcilable conflicts. Once they break out, the outcome will be devastating.

Although Li Shushi has long been far away from this land of right and wrong, and he has taken advantage of the situation to turn this turmoil into a bargaining chip in his favor, but even so, he dare not say that he has controlled this chaos, because it contains

The complexity of the power and the number of variables are enough to scare everyone away. Therefore, Li Shushi had to spend a lot of energy to prevent possible changes that would not be beneficial to him while taking advantage of this incident.

As the governor of Jiyin County, Cao Cao had to be involved in this big storm. He had to devote himself wholeheartedly to it in order to keep the inheritance he had gained so easily.

The situation of other princes is generally the same, so a few protests against Dong Zhuo's becoming king is considered the limit.

In fact, the ripples caused by this incident basically did not go beyond Chang'an City, which was only a palm-sized place compared to the entire Han Dynasty - at most, it did not exceed Tongguan and the Sanqin land west of Wuguan.

The most intense reactions were naturally those courtiers who claimed to be "loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty" and the Xiliang athletes under Dong Zhuo.

"Wen You, you said that since the Prime Minister has become the king, when will he become the emperor? I have long disliked the baby emperor and those old guys who make trouble for nothing. Our boss is more suitable to be the emperor.

's throne."
