Chapter 539: Crusade against Dong Zhuo
Yuan Kui was killed, and more than 100 members of the Yuan family died under Dong Zhuo's butcher's knife, not only that, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to slander some of the scholars who were close to the Yuan family, either slaughtering them or extorting a large amount of money.
Luoyang City fell into chaos, and the Liangzhou soldiers also took the opportunity to plunder the rich families in Beijing, and the children of the big families did all kinds of evil.
For a time, the rich families of the entire Luoyang were plundered, except for two families, one was Situ Wang Yun. The other is Cai Yong's family.
Wang Yun is Dong Zhuo's partner, and when Dong Zhuo gains power, he is naturally embarrassed to attack him.
The reason why Cai Yong is okay is because Guo Jia, the son-in-law of some people, spans the three states of Jiyun and Youyou, and has more than 100,000 armor under his command.
Dong Zhuo didn't dare to provoke easily, so he was okay with Cai Yong.
After slaughtering his opponents, Dong Zhuo got his wish, and the little emperor naturally became a puppet.
Dong Zhuo worshiped Xiangguo, sealed the Marquis of Yi, and had the privilege of "entering the court without tending, and going to the palace with a sword", and since then his power in the court has been in full swing.
……
The news quickly reached the ears of Yuan Shao in Qingzhou.
Well done!
A burst of excitement flashed in Yuan Shao's heart.
He had long been unhappy with this uncle.
Especially this time, Yuan Kui asked him to cut himself in the name of loyalty to the Yuan family, so that Yuan Shao completely parted ways with Yuan Kui.
"Lord!"
Chen Lin hurriedly said: "This is a great opportunity!" ”
Great opportunity!
Yuan Shao didn't react for a while.
"Dong Zhuo acted perversely and slaughtered Zhongliang, and he must be hated by everyone. As a descendant of the Yuan family, the lord cannot give up in public or private. The subordinates thought that the lord should raise his arms and shout, and united the sons of Yuan and other princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo. ”
Chen Lin said excitedly: "Once Luoyang is defeated and Dong Zhuo is killed, the prestige of the lord will definitely be in full swing." Who can compare with the princes of the world. ”
You can say that again!
Yuan Shao was also overjoyed.
"Someone came, immediately send someone to contact Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Runan Taishou Yuan Yin, Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, and Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai to jointly raise troops to avenge their uncle."
Promise!
Everyone said yes.
The messenger flew from Qingzhou to the surrounding princes.
……
What the?
After receiving Yuan Shao's letter, Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, was taken aback.
He never expected Dong Zhuo to be so frustrated, and he actually slaughtered all the big families in Luoyang.
Yuan Shaozheng invited him to join forces in the Sour Jujube Alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo.
Hehe!
Cao Cao sneered and shook his head.
He knows Yuan Shao's temperament too well.
How did Yuan Kui die?
It's not that he killed him.
Yuan Shao blockaded Qingzhou by force to prevent the envoys of the imperial court from entering, is there a divine difference in this rebellion?
Yuan Kui was killed by him.
This guy is a selfish villain, avenging Yuan Kui is fake, and seeking personal interests for himself is real.
Cao Cao didn't want to participate in this kind of alliance at all.
"Send someone to tell Yuan Shao, just say that Dongjun is under great military pressure from Jizhou, and he can't pull away for a while, let's talk about the alliance later!"
Yuan Shao's selfishness, Cao Cao had seen it a long time ago, and he didn't want to take advantage of him.
"Mengde, this is a bad statement!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared beside Cao Cao, who was Sima Fang, who had disappeared for a long time.
After Blackwater's decades-long plan failed, Sima's family vanished.
They are not withdrawing from the stage of history, but hibernate and waiting for the opportunity.
But before that, it's better to find a backer first.
Among the princes, the most powerful is Guo Jia, but this guy has a deep enmity with Sima's family, and Sima Fang can't wait to break his body into thousands of pieces, so naturally he won't defect to him.
The only one left is Liu Yu.
Before Sima Fang could defect to Liu Yu, Liu Yu died, and Youzhou also fell into the hands of Guo Jia.
These Sima Fang had no choice but to choose a person with potential nearby.
The young and promising Cao Cao soon entered Sima Fang's eyes, and Sima Fang was more optimistic about this Cao Cao than Yuan Shao.
So the whole family voted for East County.
The relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend, and it was Sima Fang who recommended Cao Cao as filial piety.
Therefore, Sima Fang came to vote, and Cao Cao was naturally very happy, and he would call him Mr. when he opened his mouth.
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
Seeing Sima Fang coming, Cao Cao asked puzzled.
Sima Fang twisted his beard and said: "Now the Han family will fall, and the Son of Heaven will suffer." It is when you wait for the service of the faithful, how can you give up because of someone. Besides, Dong Zhuo acted perversely, and it was justified to crusade against him. It is also the time when Meng De is famous all over the world, how can he let go of this opportunity? ”
Yes!
Cao Cao woke up like a dream.
Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, the Son of Heaven became a puppet, and the Han Dynasty was about to enter the era of princes competing for hegemony.
What do the princes rely on to compete for hegemony?
Territory and talent.
If Cao Cao performs well in this battle and leaves a good reputation for the world, it will also be of great benefit to his future career of hegemony.
He hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Mr. reminded Cao Cao of his words. I almost missed something big. Come on, reply to Yuan Shao, I, Cao Cao, will definitely go on time. ”
"Good, as it should be!"
Sima Fang nodded slowly.
He has already made up his mind to assist Cao Cao with all his might, and with the help of soldiers and Heishui, Cao Cao may not be able to become a hegemon.
Then slowly figured it out, Li Dai was stiff, and let all this become the fruit of the Sima family.
……
The news reached Nanyang.
"Bastard thing!"
Seeing Yuan Shao's letter, Yuan Shu couldn't help but scold.
If it weren't for Yuan Shao, how could his uncle have died?
Besides, even if it is to avenge the Yuan family, it must be presided over by him, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is just a concubine, and he is the culprit who killed the Yuan family, how can he act as a big responsibility?
Hum!
He couldn't help but drop the letter.
Since it was Yuan Shao who called for it, he did not participate.
Anyway, the credit is Yuan Shao's, and the losses are his own, this kind of thankless thing, Yuan Shao will not do it.
At this moment, a report came from outside, and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian asked to see him.
"Wentai came just in time!"
Hearing that Sun Jian was coming, Yuan Shu stood up happily.
The two have always had a good relationship.
When Yuan Shu came to Nanyang from Jingshi, Nanyang Taishou had other people.
Nanyang has a wide range of people and rich materials, and Yuan Shu is very greedy, so he privately instructed Sun Jian to kill Taishou Zhang Zhi, and then he successfully took over as Nanyang Taishou.
Sun Jian was also invited by Yuan Shu to go north this time.
Soon a big man walked into the room, it was Sun Jian.
"Xiaguan Sun Jian pays a visit to General Hou!"
Sun Jian came to Yuan Shu and hugged his fists deeply.
Ha ha!
Yuan Shu hurriedly helped Sun Jian up.
"Wentai's own brothers, why do you need to be so polite?"
