Liu Bei failed to become the person to enforce the alliance, because Cao Cao could not let a person who was not from Yuan's camp do this, otherwise Yuan Benchu would definitely not be able to spare him, the spokesperson of Suanzao... Yes, Cao Cao had nothing at this time
No, he is just Yuan Shao's political spokesperson.
Therefore, in the end, it was Zang Honglai, the son of an old official of the Yuan family and a disciple of the Zhang brothers, who held the alliance with his own blood.
However, unlike leaving Xiapi in another time and space to defect to Gongsun Zan, as a cavalry captain with thousands of soldiers and horses, and the support of many southern princes, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande acted openly and became the most serious leader of the jujube coalition.
One of the princes, and quite popular.
After the alliance was signed, the coalition forces immediately respected Yuan Shao as their leader, and Dong Zhuo's military encirclement network from Hanoi to Suanzao to Nanyang was immediately established!
For a time, Suanzao gathered more than 100,000 coalition troops, including not only various princes, but also noble families under the names of various princes. They were countless powerful and powerful, but they were only more than ten miles away from Henan Yin. Then General Yuan Shu and General Sun Jian were defeated.
The troops from Nanyang were gathered in Luyang, and they were preparing to march north; Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Han Fu gathered their troops, horses, and supplies in Hanoi, facing Luoyang across the river... The armies of the three armies were dispatched and reorganized separately, and the momentum of sending troops seemed to be unstoppable.
In such a situation, although the three sides have not yet actually used troops, just as Dong Zhuo's wise men feared, and just as Cao Cao imagined, surrounded by three sides, Luoyang's people's hearts have been shaken... The officials under Gongqing's sect secretly
Going in and out of Luoyang and going in all directions; the cities and even the villages and pavilions under Yin's control in Henan Province were rebelling against each other one after another. There were even many wealthy families in Henan Province who took advantage of Dong Zhuo's troops and horses not being fully deployed, and took the opportunity to rebel or gather people to flee to Guandong!
Although Dong Zhuo had anticipated this, and although he had already begun to deploy troops and generals, when the jujube coalition finally gathered to make a blood oath and chaos broke out again inside and outside Luoyang, the ruling prime minister of the Han Dynasty still became depressed.
Even indulged.
This was not just because people inside and outside Luoyang were shattered; it wasn't just that the troops from three sides were pressing down on the territory, the numbers were shocking; more importantly, the appearance of the jujube coalition and the chaos in Luoyang clearly told Dong Zhuo, including him
A cruel truth for everyone...
That is:
Everyone in the world disapproves of you Dong Zhongying!
The affairs of the world are not decided by you, Dong Xiangguo!
A few months ago, at the end of summer when the rain was pouring, Dong Zhuo looked around proudly in Xianyang Garden in the west of Luoyang City and asked everyone, "Doesn't he have the final say in everything in the world?" After asking, he summoned the ministers to formally discuss the abolition of Li Li on the next day.
Only Lu Zhi spoke out against it, and on the third day he successfully deposed it. Then he murdered the Queen Mother within a few days, and issued an edict within a short period of time, forcing Huangfu Song, Gai Xun, Zhu Jun and others to hand over their military power and govern the country.
Quan... of these three loyal ministers, at least one of them cursed on the spot, and another mocked them on the spot, but they still obeyed the order honestly because they are loyal ministers!
Dong Zhuo never abolished Li because he was tyrannical. He became more powerful than ever by abolishing Li!
In fact, after Dong Zhongying learned that Huangfu Song and Gai Xun had handed over military and political power, and that Han Sui and Ma Teng had accepted the recruitment, but before Gongsun Xun's appeal was reached, he felt that he was invincible in the world at that time!
Because at that time he was really ‘the strongest in the world’!
You count the population, the troops, the wealth, the armament, the politics, he is the strongest in the world!
But in the blink of an eye, Gongsun Xun's message arrived, and then Cao Cao prepared the letter to gather the crowd. The Hebei Allied Forces and the Kwantung Allied Forces were formed at once...and then, suddenly came to the current situation.
To be honest, after confirming that he could not "do things for the world", although there was no news about Gongsun Xun in Bingzhou Mountain, and although he still had confidence in defeating these Kwantung coalition forces, Dong Xiangguo suddenly became a little tired... He
I started to think about finding a way out for myself.
And then, the two final straws that broke Dong Xiangguo's mentality appeared:
First, after the death of the governor of Jingzhou, it was a last-ditch effort to win over the last region that did not openly resist Dong Zhuo, to further divide and control the Northern Army, and to win over the hearts and minds of the party members. It was also a last-ditch effort to drive a wedge behind Yuan Shu.
, Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao, the Northern Army lieutenant whom he admired quite a lot, as the governor of Jingzhou.
However, he rode alone, crossed Nanyang and entered Xiangyang, but disappeared silently...at least he no longer responded to the military and political instructions from Luoyang.
Earlier Yuan Shu and Sun Jian were sharpening their swords in Nanyang. Liu Biao's move was no different from Dong Zhuo's view as treason.
Secondly, what makes Dong Xiangguo even more worried is that his son-in-law Niu Fu, who has high hopes for him, sincerely favors him. He led the elite troops to Hedong to deal with the Baibo bandits, but he was beaten to a pulp by Guo Tai, a remnant of the Yellow Turban, and was in a panic.
The panic led the remaining soldiers to flee back to Jingzhao. Then the Baibo thieves ran around in Hedong, tying up the place, and saw that Guanzhong also became dangerous.
So Dong Gong felt homesick... This home is not the former residence of the young man in Yingchuan, nor the former residence of the young man in Longxi, nor the officials who later became officials in Luoyang, Liangzhou, the Western Regions, and Bingzhou.
The temple residence is the place where he lived for a long time by the Wei River after the Liangzhou Rebellion. His old mother and direct granddaughter are still there.
"How about moving the capital?!" On this day in the Jiade Hall of Nangong in Luoyang, Dong Xiangguo, who was getting fatter by the side, held a steel knife in his hand and came straight to the point.
Don't talk about the people below, just talk about a few important ministers in the front row, or the only people who can sit with Dong Zhuo in terms of rank: Taifu Yuan Wei, Taiwei Huang Wan, Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Xunshuang, four people
They looked at each other, not understanding for a moment.
How can normal people understand it all at once?
Moreover, even if a normal person understands, he still doesn’t know how to deal with Dong Xiangguo. What if he doesn’t respond well and gets chopped with a knife?
As a result, above the three princes, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei bowed his head and remained silent, like a puppet; below the three princes, starting from the moment Wang Yun was ordered by Shangshu, the nine ministers and the general Shangshu were silent one after another.
In desperation, Situ Yang Biao glanced at the ten-year-old emperor who was still a little ignorant on the throne, and stood up bravely: "May I ask the prime minister, where will the capital be moved? This dynasty has been moving since the restoration of the family.
In Luoyang..."
"Go to Chang'an!" Dong Zhuo was still somewhat polite to Yang Biao, who was barely from Guanxi. "The people from Guandong are so bad that we can't stay in Luoyang! And doesn't Situ know? There is a nursery rhyme in Luozhong recently, the so-called first Han from the West.
A man from the East and a deer from Chang'an will have no trouble... This is God's will!"
Yang Biao was stunned. The person he was in love with actually had a concrete plan, and he wasn't just talking nonsense.
"Prime Minister! This is inappropriate!"
"Dong Gong, this must not be done!"
When things came to a head, considering the other party's vigorous and resolute actions, no matter how God's will was, the three princes could not let the other party do whatever they wanted. What if they really followed the example of deposing the establishment in three days, murdering the prefect in five days, and moving the capital in two months? So what if?
, Taiwei Huang Wan quickly stood up to dissuade him, and Yang Biao, who came to his senses, also spoke out to object.
"What's wrong?" Dong Zhuo held his sword forward, stood under the throne, turned to face the officials, and was quite impatient.
"Prime Minister!" Huang Wan said almost with sadness and indignation. "Can the matter of moving the capital be decided casually? There are millions of people around Luoyang, and the national ancestral temple and the tombs of past emperors are all here... Is it necessary?
Are you abandoning them?"
"What do you know?" Dong Zhuo became more and more impatient. "Guanzhong is fertile, so Qin relied on Guanzhong to annex the six countries. Moreover, Liangzhou sent troops and Chang'an had palaces, which made it very convenient to move. As for the people, what are the people?
Is it worth taking it out and talking about it here?! If they really dare to object, I will use armored soldiers to drive them away. Believe it or not, they don’t even dare to go to Chang’an, which is hundreds of miles away to the west, and even the East China Sea, which is thousands of miles away to the east.
?!"
"Dong Gong!" Yang Biao became even more anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "You may be right, but things in this world are always easy to move, but it is difficult to settle down and go back...
…Don’t you really understand this truth?”
"Do I need you to teach me about the things in the world?" Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the last part. "You are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's brother-in-law, and an old friend of Gongsun Xun. Are you deliberately delaying these three traitors?
Time, you want me to get trapped here in Luoyang? I have seen people like you clearly for a long time. On the surface, you look like a human being, but secretly you always want to harm people... Do you think that there are hundreds of thousands of traitors outside?
Am I afraid to kill anyone?"
Yang Biao was struck by lightning and shook like chaff in the court hall, while Yuan Wei next to him lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
"Prime Minister." Huang Wan was also short of breath, but he held his head high and held his own. "In any case, moving the capital is a fundamental matter for the country. As the third Duke, Yang Gong is unable to say a word in the Jiade Hall?"
Dong Zhuo sneered and was about to get angry when Sikong Xunshuang stood up suddenly and stood between Dong Xiangguo, Huang and Yang, and faced Huang Wan seriously and said: "Huang Gong didn't understand Dong Gong's painstaking efforts...
...If the situation wasn't bad, would Dong Gui want to move the capital? The current situation is that those people from Guandong have surrounded Luoyang on three sides. The emperor and the ministers are among them, and they are in trouble day and night. But if they go west to Chang'an, it will become the end of Qin that day.
The power of the Six Nations... please both of you be considerate."
Everyone naturally knew that Xun Shuang was trying to smooth things over, and Huang Wan and Yang Biao were sweating coldly at this moment. They suddenly realized that they had almost died here, so they took advantage of the situation and bowed their heads and retreated.
"Actually, the Prime Minister doesn't need to worry too much about those people in Guandong." Just when the three princes retreated and no one answered, Shangshu Zheng Tai suddenly realized the crux of the problem, and then stood up to comfort him. "Because I have always been familiar with those people in Jujube...
None of that generation can achieve great things!"
"What are these words?" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, becoming curious.
"Ming Gong came from Xizhou. He was a general at a young age. He studied military affairs and became a famous commander in the world." Zheng Tai, the minister, said with a careful smile. "And what about Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gongli? These two are just the sons of Gongqing. They have been in the military since they were young.
The young master who lives in the capital; Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo are kind-hearted people who are so rigid that they won’t even turn around when sitting in the hall; as for Kong Ni and Kong Gongxu, they can only talk and boast... one of these people counts.
, they don’t have the slightest bit of military talent! Then I dare to ask, no matter how many troops they have, how can they be the opponent of the Prime Minister when they face each other in battle?"
"That's good!" Dong Zhuo smiled slightly. "So what should we do?"
"So, there is no need for the Prime Minister to worry about them. We can send troops to defeat them in Luoyang..." Zheng Tai quickly revealed his true purpose.
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, but he didn't answer, didn't ask, didn't comment, and then walked away directly holding his sword.
In the Jiade Palace, several close followers of Dong Zhuo ignored the etiquette and hurriedly got up to follow. At the forbidden area outside the gate of the Jiade Palace, Lu Bu, who was in full armor, also immediately led several elite soldiers to follow. The ministers watched these people stand proudly.
He came out, but he had no words at all... because at this time, there were dozens of Xiliang soldiers in the hall, watching him eagerly.
"grown ups……"
The rest of them didn't matter. Li Ru was probably the only one who dared to squeeze in front of Lu Bu and talk to Dong Zhuo directly. "What should we do?"
"The capital still has to be moved." Dong Zhuo put away his smile and responded sternly as he moved forward. "But Huang Wan is right. This kind of thing must be recognized by the three princes!"
"What should we do?"
"Kill Zheng Tai who just fooled me, and hang his head... on the chancellery!" Dong Zhuo said to himself, walking in front of him. "Then get rid of Huang Wan's Taiwei and Yang Biao's Situ, and let them be mere honours."
Dr. Lu is ready. Let's ask Zhu Jun if he wants to be a Taiwei, and if Wang Yun wants to be a Situ. Then we can start preparations for moving the capital immediately."
"Here!" Li Ru followed his father-in-law, looking at his father-in-law's growing body, but gave up his intention to defend himself.
"Also, since Jujube has formed an alliance, and has recognized Yuan Shao as its leader... In fact, the biggest difference between me and Yuan Shao is Fei Li. This time the Jujube alliance is also about 'Supreme Dust'... Everything is going on.
Now, you go and kill King Hongnong to put an end to their thoughts. I would like to see how Yuan Benchu, the only upright emperor left in the world, will deal with himself?"
"Here!" Li Ru was more straightforward this time... After all, killing a deposed emperor with poison is actually worse than moving the capital. There is no need to worry about the debt.
"But!" Dong Zhuo suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky in Nangong and said. "Although Zheng Tai deceived me, some of what he said makes sense... The Kwantung Allied Forces are actually insufficient militarily.
I only worry that when it comes to fighting, these hundreds of thousands of people are probably not as good as the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Gongsun Xun's mountain lair! Especially the hundreds of thousands of Suan Zao, who have sent out many gates, and it is difficult to take care of them. I guess I can't even dispatch them.
It’s hard to move even if you get up, so you can wait for a while and then discuss it after moving the capital. However, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang in Hanoi to the north; Yuan Shu and Sun Jian to the south, must be intimidated! Please take the lead!"
"The general is here!" Lu Bu was suddenly startled, and then he quickly bowed his head and said, "Please give me the Prime Minister's orders."
"On that day, Gongsun Wenqi praised you as the greatest tiger in the world, and I deeply agree with it." Dong Zhuo came back to his senses, raised his sword and said with a leer. "That's good, I will make you Dutinghou, and you will be more powerful and powerful.
General, lead 5,000 cavalry to be the cavalry governor of the north; let Hu Zhen lead 5,000 infantry to be the infantry governor of the north; together, you and I will unite with the captains of Xiaopingjin, Mengjin, Wushejin and Sanjin to form one army.
A total of 20,000 elite troops... teach Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang of Hanoi a lesson for me!"
"Here!" Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"There is still the south!" Dong Zhuo turned to look at his son-in-law again. "Ask Li Jue to lead 10,000 troops, and then ask Xu Rong and Li Meng who are guarding the south to ignore the checkpoints and go directly south to kill Yingchuan with me.
Prefect, come back and see me again!"
"Where is the middle route?" Li Ru couldn't help but ask after being excited. "After all, more than 100,000 troops are in Jujube..."
"I also worship Hua Xiong as the Cavalry Commander and lead five thousand cavalry to support Hulao Pass!" Dong Zhuo sneered. "Just look at it, although there are the most troops and horses here, there may not be a big war..."
Li Ru was speechless... because when it came to fighting, he was indeed not as good as the rotten old man in front of him who was already extremely fat.
In a few words, he decided on a battle plan of attacking on two sides and defending on the other. Dong Zhuo showed great enthusiasm for a while, but when he turned around, he didn't take a step for a long time.
"Father-in-law?"
"Prime Minister?" Several people behind him asked involuntarily.
"I'm still thinking about those people in the Jiade Palace just now..." Dong Zhuo shook his head. "They are all from aristocratic families. Why are some people so hypocritical like Zheng Tai, while others are so sincere like Prince Shi Wang Yun? Some people are like Huang Wan.
I don’t know how to adapt, and there are people like Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming who make people feel like a spring breeze? Is it really a matter of place? I was born in Yingchuan and served as Bingzhou, so the Wang family and the Xun family did not abandon me? "
Li Ru was silent for a moment, wanting to tell his father-in-law... Although Xun Shuang and his grand nephew Xun You continued to serve as officials in Luozhong, his nephew Xun Yu abandoned his official position and returned home long after the deposed Li, and it is said that as early as two
A month ago, he took half of his tribe to join his fellow villager Han Fu in Yingchuan in the name of avoiding the war. He was also accompanied by the Guo family and the Xin family... But after thinking about it, Li Ru felt that it was not necessary, because he
It's really excusable. Didn't his father-in-law just turn Yingchuan into a battlefield again?
The famous Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo had fully anticipated this situation a few months ago!
"Actually, why would Gongsun Xun rebel against me?" Dong Zhuo didn't know what his son-in-law was thinking, so he just continued to shake his head. "Does he think that if he were in power, these wealthy families would be able to treat him sincerely? I don't believe it.
Can he still stop killing people? It's just a joke at fifty steps and a hundred steps at a time!"
After saying this, Dong Xiangguo held on to the sword in his waist, walked slowly, and continued to walk out of Nangong.
In Taiyuan, on the bank of the Hutuo River southwest of Mount Wutai, Gongsun Xun certainly didn't know how Dong Xiangguo felt about him in the Nangong Palace, nor did he know about the huge political storm that was about to happen in Luoyang, let alone what a wonderful military battle was about to unfold around Luoyang.
play.
In fact, as a general of Wei and a Marquis of Ji, Gongsun Xun was marching hard in the cold wind at this moment, and even had to carry firewood on his back to set an example.
By the way, there was a moderate snowfall before, which seems to be a good thing for agriculture. However, with the low temperature and cold wind here, the snowflakes on the road turned into hard and slippery ice the next day.
This made large-scale marches extremely difficult.
In order to prevent unnecessary casualties and to protect the precious horses, Gongsun Xun had no choice but to order wood and grass to be cut and paved as he moved forward.
When the envoy of the Guo family in Yangzhai arrived here and responded by the roadside, they happened to see this scene.
"Who are you?" Gongsun Xun laid out the firewood, his head was sweating profusely in the winter, and there were even some stains on it, but he ignored it and faced this person directly.
"I am Yang Zhai Guo Hu... My uncle is the former Yanmen Prefect Guo Jian. He is currently idle at home... He is an old friend of General Wei... It was he who sent me here to work in the army!" The man quickly bowed and saluted.
"Where is your uncle?" Gongsun Xun took the dry cloth carefully handed over by Zhao Ping next to him, and casually wiped his face and hands.
"Uncle is right behind!" the man said gratefully. "He brought dozens of pigs and sheep. It was inconvenient to travel and he was afraid of missing General Wei, so he asked me to come and pay him a visit first..."
"It seems that there are dumplings to eat today." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile and turned around.
"Your Majesty, you think too much." Not far away, Xi Zhong, who was wrapped like a ball, sighed and replied. "Even if Governor Guo doesn't come, we still have to eat dumplings today. Many people fell to death on the road today.
Seven or eight horses were injured! And just now a hungry tiger jumped out and was shot dead by Taishi Sima!"
"Yes, we have horse meat and tiger meat, as well as those pigs and sheep." Gongsun Xun sighed, and then he realized something. "But no matter what, as an old friend who has known each other for ten years, Governor Guo can come today.
It’s always good to see me…”
Guo Hu couldn't help but chuckle.
"That's good." Gongsun Xun suddenly pulled out the broken blade from his waist and held it with Zhao Ping at his side. "As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates. I have to prepare a return gift for Governor Guo and me, pigs and sheep..."
Zhao Ping panicked for a moment and knelt down, then he didn't know how to take the knife.
"I also ask Governor Zhao to cut off the head of a dead horse, go with Duke Guo's nephew to greet Duke Guo, and then offer the horse's head as a return gift!" Gongsun Xun stared at Zhao Ping, coldly.
He said coldly, "Tell him, I haven't seen my old friend by the Hutuo River for many years, and I miss him very much!"
Then, ignoring Zhao Ping, who was still confused, and Guo Hu, who suddenly changed his expression, he turned back to the roadside and continued to look for firewood to pave the road.
I am the dividing line that attacks from both sides
"When Taizu of this dynasty tried to march to Taiyuan, rain and snow mixed with wind and cold, making the roads slippery and making it difficult for the army to move. Lou Gui was in the army at that time and informed Taizu: 'Rain, snow and cold are common this winter.
The wind blows from the mountain, and it turns out that there is an evil tiger causing trouble in the road. When Taizu heard about it, he ordered Taishi Ci to search for it. He saw a white tiger sitting on the side of the road, roaring loudly, and the sound of wind vibrated in the canyon. Everyone was frightened, but only one person was alone.
Ci drew his bow forward and killed him with one arrow. After a while, the wind calmed down, and Yan Wu personally carried firewood to pave the way, so that the army could move forward." "Shilin Miscellaneous Notes". Recorded by Yan. Anonymous
