On the map of the Han Empire in the fourth year of the early peace, there are smoke and flames of war everywhere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Youzhou Gongsun Zan led tens of thousands of horses to Jizhou in the south to fight against Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shu targeted Yanzhou, but was beaten by Cao Cao with an old punch, and after his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he finally came to his senses. The jackal's heart has not changed, and he has set his sights on Yangzhou again, and he is eyeing it.

Lü Bu and Yu Fuluo joined forces to attack Bingzhou, and Gao Gan was already anxious.

Not to mention Liangzhou. As for Xuzhou, the thief Que Xuan led the crowd to make a rebellion and called himself the Son of Heaven. Tao Qian is leading a large army to conquer the ......

Only Yizhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou and other places are quiet and quiet, and there is no trouble.

The Son of Heaven who lived in Luoyang was too lazy to pay attention to the local warlords who were fighting and bleeding, but the world was in chaos, which led to the severance of business routes, and the few tributes were dismissed because of the war. Originally, the princes had no interest in the imperial court, which had no role in supporting them, and at this time, they were fighting everywhere, and they were even more happy to have an excuse not to send money and grain to Luoyang. The princes were happy, and the Son of Heaven was anxious.

The imperial court has basically lost control of the place, and the king cannot leave Heluo. But with a huge court, the shelves are still there. There are so many officials who have to pay salaries, as well as expenses in the palace. Although the Son of Heaven has no power, he has to talk about pomp, right? With such a big palace, you have to be guarded by someone, right? You have to use money inside and out, but the palace warehouse in Luoyang is so spacious that rats can line up inside, what should I do?

So, the Son of Heaven, who had no choice but to send the imperial servant Zhao Qi to lead people out of Beijing, and went to various places to appease the princes, so that they would put the common people in the world first, and each of them would make a truce and stop the war.

His own world should lower his posture and beg those of his own courtiers to stop fighting. Although the Son of Heaven was forced to be helpless, he still felt a deep sense of shame. In Yongle Palace, the Son of Heaven said angrily to the Queen Mother: "To this day, I know that Mencius sighed for the unrighteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period!" ”

Since ancient times, the major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, are from the Son of Heaven with ritual music. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the rites collapsed, so the princes ignored Zhou Tianzi, and each conquered for hegemony, and the rites and music conquests came from the princes. It was Mencius who said that there was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period. Today's world is so similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!

The Son of Heaven no longer has real power, and although the local princes are not clearly self-reliant, in fact, how is it different from secession?

The Son of Heaven was angry: "If the father and emperor are still here, how dare Pifu'an do so?" ”

looked at the Queen Mother again and said, "If the Queen Mother allowed me to visit the generals and send Zhu Jun and Liu Bei to lead the troops westward." How can we be in the situation we are today? ”

The Queen Mother blamed the way: "If the army is defeated, what if? ”

The Son of Heaven said loudly: "Even if Zhu Jun and Liu Bei are defeated, what can they do?" The previous time, Liu Bei and Zhu Jun took the initiative to invite soldiers and I didn't allow it, the world was turbulent, so that the people's hearts were scattered and people didn't think about Han. All over the state and the state are cross-county, divided and self-protected, and there is no longer me in my eyes! What does it mean for the queen mother, such an emperor? After I die, what face will I have to see the emperors and fathers of the past?

Even if Liu Bei entered Liangzhou and coerced the emperor's brother, I am not afraid. Liu Bei really has that ability, so what if he let him become a powerful minister after sweeping away the princes of the world? At least this big man, it's still my Liu family who has the final say! Wouldn't it be much better than the thieves of today's division? ”

Empress Dowager He is accustomed to her son's words and plans, and He has ever heard such a difficult question from the Son of Heaven. After she listened, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, she only stretched out her white and tender Qian finger to point at Liu Bian, and said, "You, you, you ......" wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it.

The fragile heart of the young Son of Heaven was greatly hurt, and he felt that his dignity and face as the Son of Heaven had been mercilessly thrown to the ground by the princes, trampled back and forth. In order for the Luoyang court to continue to have money and grain to be distributed, he was a dignified son of heaven and even sent Jiuqing to envoy the princes, and Yan Yuese asked them to stop the war in a low voice. The emperor did this, the first time in history since the founding of the Han Dynasty?

Empress Dowager He relieved herself and sighed: "Your Majesty, who is the mourning family for?" Isn't it for self-preservation, isn't it to save the lives of our mothers? ”

The Son of Heaven was indignant: "Queen Mother, if Liu Bei wants to harm me, why did he save me in the first place?" When the princes were discussing Dong, if they were in Liu Bei's camp, why would they be today? The Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes of the Yingjia family, which the queen mother relied on, and Yuan Shu fought for territory in the south; Yuan Shao, who was entrusted with the power of the government and ranked in the cabinet, saw that Luoyang was withered and abandoned. These two people, one in Henan and the other in Hebei, have countless soldiers and money, how could they ever think of me and my mother in Luoyang? However, Liu Bei, who is on guard everywhere for the queen mother, has paid tribute repeatedly. Who is loyal and who is treacherous? ”

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she was speechless. She endured her grief at the beginning and chose Yuan Shao, who fanned the flames by He Jin's side and led to the fall of the He family, as a support, but she felt that the Yuan family's generations of clans, with lush branches and countless protégés, were safer than Liu Beilai, who had risen too fast and had a weak foundation. She is not an immortal, how did she know that the children of the Yuan family are so wolf-hearted. Yuan Shu won't talk about it, isn't Yuan Shao's heavenly family treating him well enough? The lord was named the marquis, worshiped the three dukes, and recorded the Shangshu. Alone in the government, the cadres are arbitrary, and the trust of the Netherlands and Israel in state affairs! is so generous, he also failed to live up to the grace of the saint, mercilessly abandoned Luoyang, all the way east to Jizhou, which seized Han Fu, and became his "soil emperor". Originally, the court was old, weak and weak, and it was very decaying, Yuan Shao went and took a large number of people with him, which made the Luoyang court more and more deserted. In the dead of night, the Queen Mother didn't hate. But what's the use? How could she admit that she was wrong?

The Son of Heaven continued to shout: "I don't believe it, Liu Bei and other princes in the world, which one dares to kill the king?" A tyrant like a thief, how can there be two? ”

The Son of Heaven vented indiscriminately, and finally got tired, and sat down on the low couch, still puffing up.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, what does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”

The Son of Heaven said blankly: "I don't know! The princes no longer respect my life. I listened to Yuan Shao's words a few more times, and because of the incident in Liaodong, Liu Bei was evil, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Yan in Yizhou have been heard from repeatedly, and I don't know what to do. ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Liu Bei is summoned to Luo, but what?" ”

The Son of Heaven vented just now, and the energy just now has long been gone, and he returned to the old appearance of not making up his mind, and after thinking about it, he finally said: "The servant Zhao Qing has left Beijing, and he has been ordered to reconcile the Kanto, and he will make a decision when the news comes." ”

If Zhao Qi lived up to the king's orders and could make the princes withdraw their troops and pay tribute, there would be no need to ask Liu Bei again. went to summon Liu Bei, indicating that he had been wrong before. How easily can a king be wrong?

If Zhao Qi returns in vain, alas, it is better to ask Liu Bei for support. There's really no way out, I can't write two Liu characters in one stroke, and my father praised him personally, didn't he?

As for letting Liu Bei lead his troops westward, forget it. Before Liu Bei begged for the rebellion of Gongsun Du, it was a national merit. But he listened to Yuan Shaopifu's words, and hurriedly asked Liu Bei to let Liaodong. Therefore, it hurt the hearts of the heroes. Now it's hard for Liu Bei to listen to his own son of heaven. Even if he listens to himself, the handsome minister Zhu Jun in his heart is old and sick, and he has been recuperating at home since the beginning of spring this year. I'm afraid I won't be able to fight for me again. Let Liu Bei go to the west alone, what? No kidding, no one is watching, who knows what he Liu Bei can do? Although he said that he was not afraid that he Liu Bei would blackmail the emperor's younger brother, this is just talking, okay! If this happened, I could only cry. You can't joke with your precious life. The Son of Heaven thought so.

The servant Zhao Qi left Beijing by order, and all the way to Jizhou. He didn't plan to go to the northern state in person, but just sent a messenger to convey his will. After all, Lu Bu and Yu Fuluo are not good people. Let's settle Yuan Shao's side first.

No matter what, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are both scholars and have common topics, and Yuan Shao was once a minister in the same palace as him in Luoyang, and he is very familiar with it. It's easier to mediate in this way.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao had already fought several times. There are winners and losers for each other. Gongsun Chan had already retreated at this time. He led his cavalry down from the north, intending to fight quickly. However, Yuan Shao had already taken precautions. Gongsun Chan was already poor, and the army could not fight for a long time because of the lack of food and grass. Sent people back to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to urge the grain and grass a few times, but there was no movement. After a long battle, Gongsun Chan wanted to retreat. But he couldn't let Yuan Shao see it, so he could only carry it to death.

At this time, the servant Zhao Qi came, saying that he was ordered to mediate. The posture is also very low. Gongsun Zhan got down the stairs, took a long breath in his heart, and immediately agreed, first wrote a letter to the servant, and spit out bitterness to him, saying that Yuan Shao, a treacherous guy, deceived him, an honest man, first, not that he wanted to take the initiative to provoke a war. Then he said that he was willing to abide by the will of His Majesty the Emperor and not to embarrass Jizhou for the time being. After showing his loyalty to the Son of Heaven, Gongsun Zhan wrote another letter to Yuan Shao, saying: "The servant of Zhao came to conquer with the virtue of Zhou and Shao, to promote the court's grace and show harmony. Xi Jiafu and Kou Sui vied with each other to endanger each other, and when they met the ancestors, they resolved the dispute, and then they came out with the same opinion. The provocation is relieved, and the people are beautiful. Self-contempt, you have to work with the general to make good, this is the general's family, and Zhan's wish is also. ”

So he took the initiative to strike the war and led his troops to retreat fifty miles north.

Since Gongsun Zhan is soft, Yuan Shao is not a second or fifth boy, and he can't hold on to it all the time. If he dares to pursue, there will be a lot of public opinion in the world, and he will not be able to stand his good reputation. So he also led his troops south.

The servant Zhao Qi was overjoyed, he also knew that Youzhou was bitterly cold, there was no oil and water, and he didn't go to Gongsun Zhan, but he just followed Yuan Shao, and recounted the old feelings vigorously, and then pretended to be pitiful and cried poor. said that Luoyang was broken, and there was no way to support the Son of Heaven, as an important minister of the country, I hope Yuan Shao can help with his heart......

The servant Zhao Qi hoped to persuade Yuan Shao first, and let Yuan Shao, who was closest to Luoyang, go to Luoyang to support some money and food first, and then he would go to Yan, Qing, Jing, Yang, Xu, Yu and other places...... It's really embarrassing for him to be brave and loyal.

Yuan Shao was annoyed by Zhao Qi all the way. Don't say yes, don't say no. I didn't want to take Zhao Qi back to Yecheng so that he could see the prosperity of Jizhou, lest he open his mouth. So along the way, he just led the army slowly. didn't know that Wei Jun was about to come in a storm.
