As soon as the emperor's imperial edict was released, everyone was shocked. No one could have expected that the Yellow Turban thieves would force Luoyang to overthrow the Han Dynasty.
The imperial edict said that when he arrived in Liangzhou, a person hurriedly ran into the big tent of the Xiliang army. This person was beautiful and had a Confucian style, but he was happy at this moment and rushed into the big tent and shouted: "Father-in-law, you are so happy, so you are so happy."
A thick and strong general with a big waist and a round waist was sitting in the throne. He put down his military book and asked in a strange voice: "Why are you happy?"
Li Ru presented the emperor's imperial edict in his hand on several cases, stretched out his hand to stroke his not-so-luxury beard, his eyes became more and more joyful. When the fierce general was still reading the emperor's imperial edict, he interrupted and said, "Father-in-law, no, general, this is a good time to make achievements. As long as you lead troops into the pass to lift the siege of Luoyang, the emperor will not be able to promote your official position without being promoted to your official position."
Li Ru's father-in-law was naturally Dong Zhuo, the warlord of Xiliang.
At this time, Dong Zhuo would also feel sorry for it and said with a smile: "It's so good!"
However, Li Ru smiled mysteriously and said, "General, I have a word. If you can hear it, you will listen. If you can't listen, you will just pretend that you have never heard it."
Dong Zhuo was stunned, knowing that his loyal and intelligent son-in-law had a plan to come out, so he asked seriously: "Please speak."
"When the siege of Luoyang is lifted, you can build momentum and protect yourself. When the dust settles, Luoyang has few soldiers and generals can lead their troops to control the imperial capital. If things cannot be done, they will be appointed as officials and retreat to Xiliang."
As soon as Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo understood it. After a shocked expression, he stared at Li Ru and said in a deep voice: "You mean, if Luoyang is empty after quelling the rebellion, I will take down the imperial capital and command the world? This, that's not impossible. But if I have no confidence, why should I retreat to Xiliang? Is it not okay to stay in Luoyang to observe the situation?"
Li Ru shook his head seriously and said, "The political situation in the imperial capital is treacherous. If the general is unsure of the battle, he should retreat to Xiliang. Think about it, in the imperial capital, the general, the ten eunuchs, and the elders and gentry in the court, even if you have made contributions to saving the emperor, will the emperor still care about it after a long time? To be honest, when it comes to marching and fighting, no one in the court can match you, but if you want to play with power, you are probably not the opponent of the eunuchs and those scheming and cunning old foxes."
After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo felt that what his son-in-law said was very reasonable, so he ordered the three armies to rest for three days before entering the pass to rescue the emperor.
At this time, the storm was surging, and the heroes in the world wanted to make achievements and become famous all over the world, so they joined the rebel army recruited by various prefectures and counties.
On the official road of Youzhou, the governor Liu Yan led his troops to quickly head towards Luoyang. After his troops, the three ranks led three thousand rebels to follow closely.
The three men who led the rebel army could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people, but the heroic brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.
On the official road leading to the north of Yangzhou, nearly a thousand cavalrymen rode on horseback, but the leader was a heroic general, and there was a horse beside him. On the horse was a ten-year-old man with a strong face and a very majestic spirit.
At this time, the young man held the reins with one hand and rode his horse at a fast speed, running side by side with the middle-aged handsome general next to him. At the same time, the young man held a flag in his other hand, with a dazzling big word embroidered on it: Sun!
"Father, after we go to Luoyang and kill all the Yellow Turban thieves, can my father become a high-ranking official?" The young man shouted loudly to the side.
But the middle-aged general laughed to the sky, looked at the ten-year-old boy proudly, and said enthusiastically: "This trip to Luoyang is a great opportunity for me to show my great power in Jiangdong. After the thief was awarded the title of head, I would like to ask the court for the prefect of Wujun Dangdang for my father."
The young man turned his head, looked dissatisfied, and shouted in anger: "How can my father, Sun Ce, be the prefect of a county? He is either the general who is in charge of the world's troops, or at least the governor of Yangzhou. Otherwise, he will turn around and return home."
After hearing this, the middle-aged handsome general laughed wildly and said loudly: "My Sun Jian has such a son, and this life is enough."
Such as the warlord Dong Zhongying of the Western Liang Dynasty, the tiger Sun Wentai of the Jiangdong, and the heroes of the world gathered in Luoyang from all directions. At this moment, heroes of the tiger and heroes emerged like mushrooms after a rain, and they appeared on the magnificent historical stage in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
There are many people who are in a dilemma with the emperor's edict, such as the Zhen family.
Zhongshan Kingdom is located in the northern part of Jizhou. Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army to attack Luoyang westward. Zhongshan Kingdom was not attacked by the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. However, the rebellion of Taiping Road affected the whole body, and rebellions in various places rose one after another. The rule of Zhongshan Kingdom was not peaceful. Fortunately, the Zhen family was prepared, and Zhen Yan, who was the prefect, commanded it as a prefect, and after successively putting down the five riots in Zhongshan Kingdom, the subordinates were not affected by the war.
"Brother, do you think we will send troops? If we send troops, our troops are less than 10,000, so we can barely protect ourselves. If we send troops to Luoyang, if there is another riot, the consequences may be unimaginable. But if the emperor does not send troops, we may not be able to take responsibility for it in the future." Zhen Yan returned home to discuss with his brothers that their father Zhen Yi was ill in bed. Even though it was such a big event, he was unwilling to disturb his father's resting.
Zhen Yu was still swaying after watching the emperor Zhao Liangliang for a long time. There was no strong army in Zhongshan Kingdom to support Luoyang. This is a fact. However, the power of heaven was unpredictable. If the foolish emperor who regarded wealth as life attacked afterwards, the Zhen family would be in a doomed place.
When both brothers looked worried, the third brother Zhen Yao smiled and said confidently: "Two brothers, don't worry. We don't have to send troops. We just need to report the situation to the governor of Jizhou afterwards. If we are not at ease, bring gold, silver and jewelry to Luoyang to express our respects to the emperor. The emperor will definitely not blame the Zhen family, let alone the rebellion of Taipingdao and the imperial court was greatly damaged. Even if the emperor wants to blame the prefect of the prefect who did not send troops to Luoyang, he may not dare to blame him seriously. Now that there are endless rebellions in various places, the imperial court will definitely want to appease officials in various places. Otherwise, if the officials collude with the rebels, the emperor will be even more at ease."
After hearing the third brother's analysis, Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan both smiled and praised him: "The third brother is not only much more stable than before, but his knowledge and insight are even more progressive."
Zhen Yao waved his hand modestly and said, "This is all the credit for Fengxiao. It's a pity that Fengxiao has only lived in my Zhen family for half a year. If he could live for a long time, many of the unsolved confusions of my foolish brother would have a way to resolve them."
Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan smiled at each other, and couldn't help but wonder: What are Fengxiao doing now?
Yingchuan
Now that the war is in chaos, the news that the Yellow Turban Army is forcing Luoyang has spread nearby. Yingchuan is connected in all directions, and it is the place where the Yellow Turban Army marches, which is very likely to affect the fish in the pond. Therefore, Guo Jia and Zuo Cizheng commanded 300 civilians to pack their luggage and prepare to take refuge in nearby cities.
Putting two bags of grain on the wooden truck carrying grain on his shoulders, Guo Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead. The young man who carried the grain with him couldn't bear it and advised him: "Little Grandpa, you'd better go and rest. Just leave this rough work to us."
"Go and go, I'm three years older than you. I can't do the physical work you can do? If it's a martial arts competition, I will knock you down in ten moves. If I leave, you will definitely be lazy and don't try to fool me, hehe."
Guo Jia's kind joke made the young people around him smile and feel warm.
At this moment, Xi Zhicai ran from a distance panting and said, "Fengxiao, someone from the Xun family invited you to Yingchuan Academy, saying that there was something important to discuss."
Guo Jia thought for a while and asked, "Xun Family? Didn't Wen Wen go to Luoyang?"
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Taipingdao rebelled, the emperor lifted the party corruption. Wenruo's uncle Xun Shuang took Wenruo and Youruo to Luoyang to share the worries of the emperor. Now the Xun family is Wenruo's third brother Xun Yan and Xun Xiuruo in charge of major events. The invitation was sent in his name."
Guo Jia couldn't help but pay attention to it. Xun Yu's uncle generation was hailed as the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, and Xun Shuang ranked sixth. He was an official in the court. He took refuge in seclusion due to the party and corruption disaster more than ten years ago. At that time, there was an evaluation of "The Eight Dragons of the Xun family, Ci Ming is unparalleled". Ci Ming is the face of Xun Shuang.
In the generation of Xun Yu, the Xun family still had many outstanding talents. Naturally, Xun Yu, the king and his master, naturally, would not mention the talent of Xun Yu, and his brothers and nephews were all outstanding talents among the people, such as Xun Yan, Xun Yue, Xun Chen, and Xun You, who is now serving as the Huangmen Minister under the tent of General He Jin.
If the Yingchuan family was not worthy of their reputation, Guo Jia would definitely refuse, but Xun Yan's request was difficult to refuse, but instead he would have expected something big to happen.
Because Xu Shu was worried that the chaos in the world would affect his mother at home, he returned home to protect his mother. Therefore, after Guo Jia handed over the burden on Zuo Ci, who was angry, he rode on a fast horse and rushed to Yingchuan Academy with Xi Zhicai.
He rushed to Yingchuan Academy with a quick horse. The servants of the Xun family, who had been waiting for a long time, introduced Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai to a school. Guo Jia, who had just stepped into the room, was obviously stunned because there were many people sitting in the room, and all the wealthy families in Yingchuan who had met him had children.
Xun Yan stood up to greet him, holding Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai on the left and right, sighing while walking in, "Ying Xiao and Zhicai, but you are here to look forward to it. Please sit down quickly."
After sitting down, Xun Yan introduced the people in the room one by one. Guo Jia was not interested in the wealthy and gentry, and the children of aristocratic families also looked light in their faces, and even showed disdain in their expressions.
"I am Chen Qun, whose name is long and long, I have heard of it for a long time and I am honored to be filial, benevolent, and talented. Now I am lucky to see it." After the elegant and elegant young man bowed to Guo Jia, he bowed to Xi Zhicai and bowed to him again.
Guo Jia looked at the young man in front of him who was only a few years older than him, and his heart was overwhelming. He didn't expect to see this future important minister of Cao Wei today. He quickly replied: "Changwen is a mischievous praise. How can he be kind and talented in filial piety? Today, he is fortunate to meet a talented man like Changwen, and he is extremely honored."
The whole hall looked sideways. Who doesn’t know that Guo Jia is noble and arrogant? Who doesn’t know that Guo Jia is arrogant and arrogant. Why did he show such a humble attitude to a child of aristocratic family he just met today?
The children of aristocratic families naturally despise themselves, but Xun Yan looked at Guo Jia with deep meaning for a long time. He was also amazed at the vicious eyes of Guo Jia. When he first met, he could tell who was a real talent and a real scholar? Who was a demonstrative person?
Let go of these doubts for the time being. After everyone got to know each other, Xun Yan's face darkened and said seriously: "Everyone, based on the returns of our Xun family's children who were inquiring about the news, the Yellow Turban Thieves Bocai Division, who led an army of 50,000 to Luoyang, has suddenly divided 10,000 troops recently, and he personally led the journey towards Yingchuan."
The only one who was full of uproar was Chen Qun, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai.
