Dong Zhuo died and Wang Yun took power. Such big news spread throughout Jiuzhou in one month, reaching Zhuoxian in the north, Jiaozhi in the south, Linzi in the east, and Pouhan in the west. Everyone was shocked by it. Dong Zhuo was in power for three years.
The power in the DPRK has been deeply entrenched. It did not perish in the most difficult period, but suddenly collapsed when it was victorious. This is unimaginable to anyone.
But now that things have happened, they can no longer be undone, and lamenting over and over again is just a waste of time. Wise men who know the current situation say that the time has come to change the situation in the world. If someone can enter the court this time to stabilize the situation, appease the Liang people, and annihilate
Gengcang, the Han Dynasty may not be unable to revive. But now everyone in Guandong is controlled by Gengcang, and what can be done is nothing more than benefiting, merging, and cooling the three states.
The Liangzhou Allied Forces have been separated for a long time and have never had any ambition to make progress; Yizhou has lost Hanzhong and is far away; Bingzhou is surrounded by heavy troops from the Liang people and faces many bitter battles. Each of the three has its own difficulties. But more fundamentally, people's hearts cannot change suddenly.
The road is difficult to change and can only be overcome by war. Therefore, almost all states and counties are inquiring about the news of annexing the state to see what actions they plan to take.
But contrary to everyone's expectations, the Bingzhou Prefectural Government maintained an astonishing silence. Whether it was before and after the Chang'an coup or Cai Yong's death in prison, everything in Bingzhou Prefectural Government was as usual, and most of the government decrees issued were in preparation for the summer harvest, as if
No news from Chang'an reached Bingzhou at all.
In fact, the Chang'an coup only lasted ten days, and the Bingzhou Prefecture in Wanyang received the news. After the prefecture got the news, the officials in the prefecture asked for a fight, saying that this was a great opportunity to regain Shangjun and King Qin put an end to the rebellion. Liu Bei was also very excited.
But Chen Chong held the opposite opinion and said to everyone:
"Now that Wang Situxin is in charge of the government, the foundation is unstable. This is not a good thing, but a disaster! Now that the Liang people have suddenly lost their commander-in-chief, and they are hesitant about their intentions, our rash participation may complicate the situation of the government and force the Liang people to rebel. It is better.
First write a letter to contact Situ and appease the Liang people. If we can use this to appease and eliminate the country's disaster, it will naturally be a good thing. If not, we will have to wait until the autumn harvest before fighting again. There was a big disaster last year and the people suffered a lot. Don't
It will hurt this year’s farming season.”
Having said that, he wrote a table all night to clarify the situation and reported it to the Xijing court. The full text is as follows:
"I heard that 'a book cannot express its words, and words cannot express its meaning.' But the meaning cannot be expressed in words, and the words cannot be expressed in writing. Today is a turbulent time, with thieves and thieves swarming around. This is why I am worried and worried, and cannot remain silent."
Your Majesty was born a wise man, and Situ Gao was a great man. In the past, due to Dong Zhuo's chaos, the dragon lurked in Xijing, and could not be defeated after repeated battles. Guandong was in despair, thinking that destiny would destroy disasters, and things could not be done. The people with lofty ideals in the court persisted in their long-term ambitions, no matter how difficult the road was, they still
Acting with healthy intentions. Then the barbarians cut off the chaos, overcame the Xue family grudges, and finally assisted His Majesty to achieve his soaring ambition. I heard from Yuanyang far away that I was so happy that even if I poured over three rivers, I couldn't stop it.
However, the way to govern a country involves countless opportunities and hard work, which is inevitable. Although the head of the bandit is hanging, the worry of consecutive battles still exists. The Liang people fought hundreds of battles and conquered four counties.
In the middle, the power of the three Jin Dynasties is so great. It is said that across the rivers and rivers, there is no one who can match it. This is true. Therefore, I am excited in a corner, looking at the west wind and sighing. The name of the Liang soldiers is worthy of the name, and the quality is pure and original. They are the weapons of life and death for the country.
Your Majesty must not observe it carelessly, but think about it carefully. Your Majesty has come to discuss state affairs arbitrarily from the state government. Although he may be suspected of betraying his authority, he is determined to protect the country and the people, and must state this to Your Majesty:
Although Situ eliminated the Dong family, the loyal ministers encouraged him and the foxes were frightened. However, in terms of success or failure, it was Situ who was the first to strike with lightning and sharp swords. There was a minister who conferred the title and Xiwu was destroyed. However, the Dong family was in charge of the sacred weapon. For the past three years, he has conquered and conquered.
The bus travels back and forth for thousands of times, and the old righteousness of the monarch and his ministers are clear in their hearts. They can be said to be centipede insects, which will not freeze until they die. The court may be uneasy because of this, and this minister is worried about it.
Niu Fu from Hedong, Xu Rong from Shangjun, Duan Xuan from Hongnong, Li Jue from Nanyang, and Guo Si from Yingchuan. These are all ministers who are good at fighting. They have been with the Dong family for more than ten years. As minions, they slaughtered thousands of people, and their crimes should be punished! Minister
I have been thinking about it all day and night, and my teeth have been gnashed with pain. However, it is not to be underestimated because of its army like a sea, its swords and halberds shining brightly. Leyi defeated Qi, stopped at Jimo, Gaozu joined forces, and was defeated in Pengcheng. If Your Majesty raises an army because he has no leader,
The victory is unpredictable, and this minister has two concerns.
Fu Mu abides by politics, and the state has standing laws. Han Fu surrendered to Yuan Shao, and Hebei was in disarray. Yuan Shu attacked Yangzhou, and Jiangzuo panicked. In the past, Ziyu suffered a small defeat and was killed by the King of Chu. Wang Hui lost his law and was killed by Zhongzong. Today it is even more gray.
Starting from Guandong, there are no joint expeditions. It can be seen that the county and the country are going alone and are selfish. If your Majesty takes this as a temporary measure, you may be disappointed. I have three concerns.
Seeing these three people, we can know that although the Dong family died, his legacy is very important. "Poetry" says: "It is like cutting, like digging, like grinding." Your Majesty, work hard, and must not aim too far because of great righteousness, or forget about small gains. Sage and sage
A good man, if you don't use a sword, you won't be able to win in a fight, and you won't be able to win in a fight, and it's not as good as having a heart. The minister is upright, with the sound of a tiger fighting, and no sound of abyss. I am afraid that going too far will not be enough, so I give this admonition to fulfill my integrity. Your Majesty has an edict,
I will answer the question under the stars at night!"
Chen Chong's letter was nominally addressed to the emperor, but in fact it was written to Wang Yun. He also had a relationship with Wang Yun, and knew that he had an upright temperament. If he gave his advice bluntly, it would be counterproductive. Therefore, he could only speak in accordance with his words.
He came, so Chen Chong carefully considered his words and scolded Dong Zhuo in the letter. He affirmed Wang Yun's action of cutting off Dong Zhuo's party members. He just pointed out that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Taking it too hastily may be counterproductive. It is better to be gentle for the time being and reduce it slowly. If necessary, merge the states.
The state capital will also respond to the call.
However, Chen Chong still underestimated Wang Yun's determination. After Wang Yun received the petition, he was greatly disgusted. He detained Chen Chong's petition and the petitions from the officials in the court at the Shangshutai, and said to Taiwei Ma Rixi
: "Although Chen Tingjian is a loyal minister, he is not a straight or wise minister. To eliminate evil is like catching a tiger. Now that I am on the back of the tiger, how can I compete with it? It is time to add a blade to its head and cut off its mouthpiece. This is how I can eliminate it.
How can Chen Tingjian get what Dong got?"
But Wang Yun naturally knew that Chen Chong's statement at this time was already a help in times of need. Among all the state capitals in the world, Bingzhou was the only state capital that presented itself to the court, and the court really needed Bingzhou's help, which he could not ignore. So Wang Yun
Yun simply promoted Zhong Yao to the position of admonishing doctor and appointed him as the implementer of the case. He went to the capital of Bingzhou and ordered Chen Chong and Liu Bei to lead the army to take over the defense of Hedong and Shangjun, and to take care of Niu Fu and Xu Rong's army. After the completion of the matter, they were stationed in Lin.
Jin, waiting for the imperial court to dispatch.
After giving the order, Zhong Yao did not dare to neglect. He led fifteen followers and set out from Chang'an on May 17, heading east along the north bank of the Weishui River, from Xiagui to Lianshao in the north, and then to Linjin. He was planning to start from Pubanjin.
When they crossed the river, it was already May 22, but Zhong Yao encountered trouble here.
Puban Ferry has been under martial law for the past few days. Except for soldiers, no one is allowed to cross the river. Anyone who approaches the ferry will be detained and guarded. Zhong Yao's trip was originally to ban Niu Fu Xu Rong, so what?
Dare to make a big statement? You disguised yourself in disguise along the way, but because of this, you didn’t know Ushifu’s plan, and when you arrived at Kabanjin, you were captured by Ryoto.
At this point, the imperial court was cut off from the Bingzhou Prefecture. Instead, the Liang people got the news first, and neither Wang Yun nor Chen Chong knew about it.
While Chen Chong was waiting for the court's reply, news came from Jinyang: Recently, the Black Mountain Army seems to have been influenced by the Gengcang Army, with a large number of personnel and materials coming in and out. Apparently, they are preparing to send a large army down to the Taihang Mountains like last year, but this time
Their movements this time were extremely unclear.
After discussing with his staff in Jinyang, Xuande deduced that if the Black Mountain Army wanted to respond to Linzi, it could send troops in only three directions: first, attack Hebei to the plains; second, attack Dongjun via Hanoi; third, attack Taiyuan and Shangdang. Now the war in Jizhou has reached its climax. Gongsun Zan attacked Bairen City several times but failed to win. However, Cheng Huan of Xiang State persisted for two months and finally broke through the city. Yuan Shao executed Cheng Huan and more than ten Han Fu remnants, and then gathered his troops.
, went north to attack Li Li, and Li Li and Gongsun Zan, who were in Gaoyi, joined forces. The two sides faced off at Qianqiu Pavilion. The troops of both sides in the north and south of Jishui had reached more than 150,000. The battle was about to break out. Although the Black Mountain Army had sixty
There are thousands of people, but there are only about 100,000 strong men capable of fighting. Obviously, they will never attack Hebei.
As for Dongjun, Yun Chang has already led the people from Henan to garrison. If they respond to the Gengcang Army, the Black Mountain Army should also receive the news. In addition, they suffered at the hands of Cao Cao last year. It is really surprising whether they have the courage to fight again this year.
Doubtful.
It can be deduced from this that the Montenegrin Army's action this time is most likely to attack Bingzhou. Although according to common sense, Bingzhou has been conquering the south and north in recent years and is known for its strong army. It is unimaginable that the Heishan Army can attack the strong from a weak place, but now it is very
At this general time, Bingzhou's legions were mainly concentrated in Yanmen, Henan, Hedong, and Xihe. Yanmen defended Xianbei, Xihe and Hedong defended Dong Zhuo's remaining party, and Henan's Yunchang went to Yanzhou to help. Although Bingzhou's troops were large, this time
At that time, they also felt that they were quite stretched. If the Black Mountain Army disrupted Taiyuan while occupying Shangdang and transferred Yun Chang back to Hanoi, then for the Gengcang Army, the war in Yanzhou would be promising.
Liu Bei had cooperated with the Montenegrin Army when he entered the annexation. He knew that their military morale was inconsistent and their soldiers were mediocre. If the Montenegrin Army really came to fight, he would not worry about defending the city. But what is worth worrying about is that as long as they send troops, it has nothing to do with their combat capabilities.
, this year’s autumn harvest will have another setback. The state capital just managed to survive the famine last year, and it really can’t afford the setbacks.
Under this situation, Liu Bei and Chen Chong considered the situation and felt that the generals of the Montenegrin Army were doing their own thing. Although Zhang Yan was the leader, it was difficult to restrain them. It was better to bribe him with a large amount of money first. Montenegro would get the money first, and the soldiers would not be careful, so it would naturally be resolved.
This is the offensive.
So they finalized the candidates, thinking that Wang Yun is now in charge of the government, and his eldest son Wang Gai is serving as the county magistrate in Taiyuan County. If he wants to show his sincerity, he can go as an envoy. I think the tribes in Heishan will be moved and think twice when they see Situ's son.<
/p>
By this time, it was already the beginning of July. After a month, he still had not received a reply from the court. Chen Chong also noticed that something was fishy. Just as he was preparing to mobilize and inquire about the Liang people, an envoy from Hongnong came.
Yuanyang, he brought two pieces of news to the state capital.
First, Hu Qizhonglang petitioned Duan Yan to defect to the state capital.
First, the Liang people in Guandong withdrew their troops and returned eastward. They captured Wuguan five days ago and drove directly to Lantian.
