Guan Yu sighed: "Dong Zhuo will definitely not be able to defend Luoyang. The person who read the imperial edict should be his confidant, but he is also helping Yuan Wei to do things. Yuan's clan tree has deep roots. Even if Dong Zhuo has the military advantage, it is impossible for him to be Yuan."
Wei’s opponent!”
Huangfu Li, the chief historian, complained: "When the late emperor sent Dong Zhuo to Taiyuan County, Dong Zhuo had the idea of resisting the imperial edict and being disrespectful, and many of the Xiliang rebels had friendship with him. Over the years, the Xiliang rebellion has been suppressed repeatedly, because
When Dong Zhuo was around, I tried to persuade your lord to take the opportunity to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but your lord refused to listen and insisted on asking the late emperor, saying that killing court ministers without permission violated the law and was a serious crime of genocide. Now it’s all right, sir
If Dong Zhuo was not killed, Dong Zhuo would start to harm the Han people. If Dong Zhuo were of course removed, what would happen now would happen!
After Liu Bei came to Xiliang, he recruited Huangfu Li, Huangfu Song's disciple, to be his long history. It was only because of him, a native of Xiliang, that Liu Bei could gain a firm foothold in Xiliang. He just wanted to take action against Han Sui and the others.
At that time, Luoyang City was in chaos, and Liu Bei, like Huangfu Song, made all his early preparations in vain!
Liu Bei said calmly: "Even if General Huangfu got rid of Dong Zhuo that day, it would be useless. The reason why Dong Zhuo has the power he has now is because of the indulgence of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei. It can even be said that he created Dong Zhuo, a powerful minister. He wants to use it."
Dong Zhuo's power deposed the emperor and killed Queen Mother He.
So even if Dong Zhuo died that day, Lu Zhuo and Wang Zhuo would still appear. The culprit of all this is the Yuan family. They are no longer satisfied with being the number one family of the Han Dynasty, and they want to replace the Liu family and seize the world of the Han Dynasty.
!”
"Although Dong Zhuo is a domineering general, he has guarded the western frontier for decades and made great contributions to the stability of the Han Dynasty. Even if he becomes the prime minister now, he has not done much to harm the Han Dynasty. We need to use the method of rebellion.
Except for Dong Zhuo? Yuan Wei is also a veteran of three dynasties. Don’t you know that the consequence of doing this is to harm the country of the Han Dynasty!"
Huangfu Li immediately said: "Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor and killed the Queen Mother He. Isn't this a crime?"
Liu Bei sneered and said, "Although Dong Zhuo deposed the Young Emperor, everything he did was done through court deliberation. After getting the approval of the three gongs and nine ministers, he promulgated the decree and then implemented it in the world. This is all within the laws of the Han Dynasty.
If Dong Zhuo now says that Dong Zhuo is a guilty minister, then the Taifu Yuan Wei, who agreed to depose the emperor, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all guilty. Do they think that by introducing Dong Zhuo, they can cover up their crimes?
Do you think you can deceive everyone in the world like this?
It’s simply impossible, all they are doing is deceiving others!”
Guan Yu also nodded and said: "Brother is right, Dong Zhuo has no power to depose the monarch. It's just that Yuan Wei and others did not want such a stigma, so they allowed Dong Zhuo to expand his power. Now it backfires on him and provokes a civil war among the Han!"
"In the past, Yuan Shu led troops to attack the palace and burned the Suzaku Gate. Later, Yuan Shao established himself as a chariot and cavalry general and rebelled against the Han Dynasty. In addition, Yuan Kui allowed Dong Zhuo to be indulged. It can be said that the Yuan family no longer has any loyalty to the imperial court. This
Secondly, if Yuan Shao and the others really wipe out Dong Zhuo, the entire Central Plains and the imperial court will be completely in the hands of the Yuan family. Will the imperial court still exist by then?
Just seeing that they split the imperial court to achieve their own goals, it can be seen that the Yuan family no longer has any respect for the imperial court and His Majesty."
Huangfu Li was panicked for a while. How could this be different from what he thought? Everyone should not denounce Dong Zhuo and support Grand Tutor Yuan Wei. How could it turn into denouncement of Yuan Wei?
But after hearing what Liu Bei and Guan Yu said, it seemed right after thinking about it.
Dong Zhuo was not an official in Luoyang at all. He was neither a relative nor a member of a wealthy family. He had no reputation, no prestige, and no family background. How could he gain a foothold in Luoyang City in the first place?
He could even contact the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to dethrone the emperor. At that time, Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang City for only more than a month. How could he be able to do so many things in such a short period of time?
At this time, Zhang Fei took his shoulder and smiled: "Are you wondering why we are so resentful of Yuan Wei and the others?"
Huangfu Li nodded, Yuan Wei was not only the Tutor, but also the head of the most powerful family in the Han Dynasty. Why didn't his Ming Gong and his colleagues have any respect at all?
Zhang Fei said: "This is because we have suffered too much at the hands of Yuan Wei and other wealthy nobles in recent years, and we have seen their faces. When we went to Jizhou to fight the Yellow Turban Army, we had already defeated the Yellow Turban Army. Fu
The change was to use settlement methods to eradicate the refugees in Jizhou, but the wealthy gentry in Jizhou assassinated Fu Bian for their own interests, so that the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou broke out again.
We later encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army several times, but each time Yuan Wei and other powerful nobles came to drag us down. If it weren't for them, the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou would have been put down a few years ago, and there wouldn't be so many in the world.
thing.
We have suffered so much loss, how can we still believe in Yuan Wei because of his reputation? In fact, as long as you are not disturbed by the reputation they tout, you will find that these so-called celebrities and family owners are just a group of selfish people.
Just old men! Everything they do is for their family."
After Huangfu Li was taught such a lesson, he suddenly felt that his three views were shattered! It turned out that the world-famous Yuan Wei was a villain in the eyes of his Ming Gong!
He didn't believe it, but this was Ming Gong's evaluation, which forced him to believe it.
Since he joined Liu Bei's group, he has also discovered that he is a humble man, polite and virtuous, lenient to others, knows how to use people well, and is very benevolent towards the people, especially benevolence, which is so important to Xiliang
.
Xiliang has experienced hundreds of years of war, and all kinds of talented people are displaying their military talents here, killing people, and killing people. It can be said that Xiliang has become their place of wealth and promotion. These heroes have
Only hundreds of thousands of people were killed in Xiliang, and the entire Xiliang was full of abandoned villages.
But the only one who truly has a benevolent heart is Liu Bei. He came to Xiliang not to kill people, but to save people.
Liu Bei came to Xiliang for more than half a year. He did not fight against the rebels like Han Sui. Instead, he traveled through the wilderness around Anding County, and then continued to recruit refugees and barbarians, and led the Qiang and escaped rebels to open up wasteland and farmland.
, purchased a large amount of farm tools through caravans and handed them over to everyone. Under the leadership of Liu Bei, everyone worked hard for several months and reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Jingshui.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire Xiliang. Xiliang has been in chaos for hundreds of years. This is the first time that officials are repairing water conservancy facilities and reclaiming wasteland in Xiliang. These hundreds of thousands of acres of fields have brought hope to the entire Xiliang. Rebellion
The Qiang people were moved by his high righteousness and came to surrender one after another. The number of people who attached to Liu Bei reached 50,000. Han Sui and others lost tens of thousands of subordinates before they even fought with Liu Bei. Han Sui and others were so frightened that they did not dare to approach Liu Bei.
’s territory.
Then Liu Bei purchased a large number of textile machines through caravans and built textile factories. (Although Xu Wei took strict precautions, spinning machines and new textile machines slowly spread in the Han Dynasty. Many skilled craftsmen cracked the Mayi spinning machine.
The secret of the yarn machine is that of course they can't achieve the same streamlined production as Mayi, and the raw material production areas are not as many as Tengjiajun. After all, most of the grassland is now occupied by Xu Wei.)
In the first year, the textile factory in Anding County spun 300,000 pieces of woolen cloth. This textile factory supported tens of thousands of textile factory employees and brought enough food and wages to Liu Bei. With the specialty of woolen cloth, Anding is now
The county already has some of the prosperity and liveliness it had before the war.
This also spread Liu Bei's reputation throughout Xiliang. The people of Xiliang, who had been in chaos for hundreds of years, felt that Liu Bei was the person sent by God to end the war in Xiliang.
He only heard about Yuan Wei's virtue, but he saw Liu Bei's kindness with his own eyes, so he still believed what Liu Bei said!
At this time, Zhao Yun said helplessly: "It's a pity that our affairs in Xiliang have only made a beginning. If we leave now, I'm afraid all our previous efforts will be wasted. It will take who knows how many years for Xiliang to be stable!"
Only then did Huangfu Li realize that they were leaving Xiliang. He exclaimed: "Ming Gong, Xiliang cannot live without you!"
Liu Bei also said helplessly: "The Han Dynasty is in danger, and I can only save the Han Dynasty first! If the rebellion of the Yuan brothers is not suppressed, the entire Han Dynasty will fall apart and fall into the chaos of the Warring States Period!"
"Zhongde, I will recommend you to be the governor of Anding County, and I will leave you 10,000 troops. You can follow my approach in Anding County and continue to cultivate land and organize people to live in military camps. As long as there is enough food in Xiliang,
Only then can everyone have a stable life, and I will leave everything in Xiliang to you!"
Then Liu Bei prepared 30,000 troops and ordered Zhao Yun to be the vanguard and lead 5,000 cavalry to march to Chang'an and Wuguan to march towards Nanyang County.
At the same time, Liu Bei's memorial recommending Huangfu Li to be the governor of Anding County also came to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he saw it. As long as Liu Bei could leave the pass, for him, let alone Huangfu Li becoming the governor of Anding County, even becoming the Mu of Xiliang would not matter.
question!
While Liu Bei was marching, Yecheng in Jizhou was still covered in silver, but the wind was not as cold as Xiliang!
Although Yuan Shao raised troops in Hanoi, Hanoi was too close to Luoyang City, which was not conducive to him hoarding soldiers and training troops, so he quickly took his new soldiers to Yecheng in Wei County.
At this time, Yuan Shao was sitting in the middle. Next to him were the disciples and former officials of the Yuan clan and the friends he had made over the years, such as Qiao Mao, Xu You, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, and Chen Lin.
,Chun Yuqiong et al.
Qiao Mao took the lead in raising the banner to challenge Dong. Although Yuan Shao and others responded, the very embarrassing thing was that except for the Yuan family, there were no disciples or former officials from other families to respond to them. However, like the two largest princes of the Han Dynasty,
Huangfu Song and Liu Yu didn't respond. Instead, they seemed to condemn them. This was completely different from what the adults said. Why didn't Huangfu Song and Liu Yu stand on their side and condemn Dong Zhuo?
Yuan Shao immediately felt something bad at this time. This was no longer a war between the Yuan clan and the Han. Although Dong Zhuo could not fully command the strength of the Han, the central army in his hands was enough to defeat them.
If either Huangfu Song or Liu Yu were persuaded by Dong Zhuo, they would have no choice but to flee to the end of the world, because all they have in their hands are recruits. Although they are all sons of famous families, it seems that only the only ones who have actually fought in the war are
Cao Cao and the others! However, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song had in their hands the elites of hundreds of battles. They knew that these new recruits could not be the opponents of the elites of hundreds of battles.
So now Yuan Shao and the others are in a bit of trouble, and Huangfu Song and Liu Yubu have joined the alliance to fight Dong Zhuo. How can they defeat Dong Zhuo?
Yuan Shao worried his friends and asked: "Everyone, tell me, what should we do now?"
Yuan Shao's disciple Xu You said: "Of course we are trying to get Huangfu Song and Liu Yu to join our alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo. Liu Yu can forget about it, but Huangfu Song is the key. Without the elite army in his hands, we can only rely on our newly recruited soldiers.
There is no way he can be the opponent of Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang Army!”
Qiao Mao asked nervously: "Why doesn't Huangfu Song join us? He is a famous general of the Han Dynasty and loyal to the court. Now that the court has a traitor like Dong Zhuo, shouldn't he attack him?"
It's no wonder that Qiao Mao was nervous. He was the initiator of this uprising. If he couldn't defeat Dong Zhuo, he and his family would definitely die without a burial place. The situation now was different from what he imagined, so he was naturally nervous. Dong Zhuo
But the Xiliang man, he really knows how to kill his whole family!
In fact, he regrets it now. If he had known that this would be the case, he should not have written this edict against Dong Zhuo in the first place.
It's fine now! The Yuan family doesn't know what will happen yet, but all nine members of the Qiao family are in danger.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have coveted the position of the Three Dukes and put my family in such a dangerous situation.
This is obviously an internal strife within his Yuan family. What can I do if I am named Qiao?
Yuan Shao said helplessly: "Huangfu Song said that he wanted to attack the Thunder Lord in Bingzhou, but he did not have the strength to support us. He even wanted us to return the grain and grass he had hoarded!"
Xin commented: "Thunder Lord is just a common man without ambition. After we wipe out Dong Zhuo and gather the strength of the entire Han Dynasty, we are still afraid that we will not be able to wipe out Thunder Lord. At the loss, Huangfu Song will still be the number one general of the Han Dynasty. We can't even see this clearly!"
"
Xu You sneered: "It's not that he can't see clearly, it's that he doesn't want to get involved with us. Maybe in others' eyes, he is a loyal subject of the Han Dynasty, and we are the rebels of the Han Dynasty!"
They all looked ugly when Xu You said this, which hurt them. Xu Youtian was not afraid of anything. He dared to unite with Wang Fen to launch a mutiny several years ago. To him, rebellion was nothing, as long as he could achieve his goal.
can.
But others can't. There is a huge family behind them. If they really want to be labeled as rebels, not to mention that all nine of their clans will be wiped out, but their families will also be defeated. This is something they cannot bear!
