Chapter 2 Like Approaching the Abyss Section 14 Yuan Shao was extremely shocked, and he walked back and forth in the big tent a few steps uncertainly, and then ordered a boycott.

He should think carefully about his future and the future of the society. In the evening, Yuan Shao once again convened ten subordinates, including Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Xu You, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, Chen Lin, and Geng Bao, to discuss the matter.

Yuan Shao and the officials have been working hard and bloody for more than a year, and no matter what the circumstances, they all want to revitalize the society.

However, in the face of today's complex and rapidly changing situation, they have never had a clear idea of how to revitalize the community.

Tian Feng's words during the day were like an initiation, and they suddenly saw the direction of progress.

What is Hegemony? Supporting the royal family is seeking hegemony. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Son of Heaven lost power, the royal power fell, and the princes rose up in turmoil.

The first to challenge the authority of the royal family was Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong often offended King Zhou Huan, and King Zhou Huan led his troops to fight for him, but the result was a great defeat.

The edge of hegemony began with Zheng Zhuang Gong, but it was Qi Huan Gong who really ascended to the position of overlord. With the vigorous assistance of Guan Zhong, the Duke of Qi Huan became stronger and stronger, but the Duke of Qi Huan did not provoke the majesty of the royal power, but proposed

The policy of "respecting the king". He convened the princes to meet the alliance many times, and he served as the leader of the alliance to support the Zhou royal family and crusade against the princes who were not subordinate, intending to rebuild the great cause of the Zhou Duke and the auxiliary state of the country.

King Zhou knew that the royal family was in decline, the imperial power had been light, and he was no longer able to rule the world. In this case, it is better to face up to the reality and rely on the hegemon of one side to stabilize the society.

So, the king of Zhou issued an edict to the world, giving the prince of Qi Huan and the king's order to assist the country and the state. (Hou Bo, i.e., the chief of the princes.)

The royal order, that is, the power to hold the king's order to command the princes. After the Duke of Qi Huan, the overlord was the Duke of Wen of Jin.

During the reign of Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty, King Xiang of Zhou's half-brother led Di Shi (Hu army) to capture the royal city and set himself up as king.

After King Xiang was defeated and fled, he immediately turned to Jin and Qin for help. The minister of the Jin State was guilty of persuading the Duke of Wen of Jin to send troops to the king.

Duke Wen of Jin then sent troops to fight the rebellion and help King Xiang restore the throne. Soon, Duke Wen of Jin defeated the powerful Chu army in the Battle of Chengpu, and from then on he weighed the Central Plains.

After King Xiang of Zhou heard the news, he immediately gave the Marquis of Jin Wen and the king the order to rule the world with himself. This is what posterity will praise

"Huan, the work of literature". At that time, Confucius thought that the hegemony of the princes could assist the king of Zhou and achieve the cause of assisting the country and the state, so he called it the act of benevolence.

But when it came to the Warring States Period, the princes chased the kings and successively assumed their titles, and the king of Zhou had to call himself the king of heaven to distinguish himself from the princes and kings who were arrogant.

At this time, Mencius saw clearly the essence of the princes from hegemony to king, and established on behalf of Zhou, so he called the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants the sinners of the three kings.

Yuan Shao believes that under the current circumstances, trying to dominate the industry and assist the country and the state can be regarded as a way out to save and revitalize the society.

If you can succeed in hegemony, you can prosper and achieve great achievements.

However, many historical facts of the previous dynasty clearly and unmistakably tell the world that hegemony is only a means, and being a king is the goal.

If I want to achieve hegemony, I must have the support of the state and county officials. How can I convince the state and county officials that I am not dominating for the sake of kingship, but for the sake of the naked cause of the ZTE Society?

Is it inopportune to try to dominate the industry at this time, or the time has not yet come, it is too early? Tian Feng shook his head,

"At this time, it is the right time to try to dominate the industry, and if it is delayed, it will be difficult to revitalize the society. Looking at today, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, the imperial power is falling, the forces of all parties are rising, the national Zuo is on the verge of extinction, and the world is in chaos. If the adults no longer try to dominate Asia, the Han will die. "Today, there are five major forces in the world.

The strongest person is Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo holds the Son of Heaven and the imperial court hostage, has the benefits of Guanzhong, and has 100,000 soldiers under his command.

As long as he recovers, he will be able to sweep the world in just a few years. The Great Qin State and this dynasty all started from Guanzhong and dominated the world.

The second is the hussar general Li Hong. Li Hong has the most powerful force in the world, but because he occupies the most barren northern frontier in the world, his strength is greatly reduced.

Again, it's an adult. Although the lord only has a county in the Bohai Sea and only has 10,000 troops under his command, he is the head of the Yuan lord family, the leader of the Dong Alliance, and is ordered to rule the world.

These three things alone have allowed adults to have the most wealth in the world, and have received strong support from various states and counties, and at the same time occupy the greatest righteousness in the world.

If the adults use this as a basis to try to dominate the industry and compete with Dong Zhuo and Li Hong, it is just a gesture.

Because Yuan Shu became the ruler of Nanyang, he received the absolute support of the Yuan forces in Jing and Henan, and with the help of Sun Jian and Kong Ling, he could barely be regarded as a major force.

The Yellow Turbans are the fifth largest force. Although the Yellow Turban Army is a rebellion of the Han Dynasty, their success or failure is directly related to the survival of the Han Dynasty and the above four major forces, so the Yellow Turban Army is definitely a major force today.

This is a fact, and we have to admit it.

"How sure are you that you can beat four opponents at the same time? How many years do adults estimate it will take to stabilize the society? Tian Feng asked.

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and shook his head, his heart was heavy, and he had no confidence or certainty at all. He couldn't answer.

"If the adults take Jizhou, with the land of one state and Dong Zhuo and other four major forces, how long can it be supported?" Tian Feng asked again.

Yuan Shao pondered for a long time, sighed and shook his head. He still couldn't answer.

"Dong Zhuo will let go of the Lord and Yuan Valve, will he forgive all those who participated in the fight against Dong?" Tian Feng said,

"No, he'll kill everyone who opposes him."

"Will Li Hong let go of the Lord and Yuan Valve, and will he forgive everyone who refuses to admit that he is the son of today? No, Li Hong will kill all those who re-establish the imperial system. ”

"Will Yuan Shu be willing to surrender to the adults? No. At least not yet. ”

"Will the Yellow Turbans miss the opportunity to destroy the society and overthrow the Han family? No, the Yellow Turbans will be our main opponent for some time to come. ”

"Now that the adults are cornered, what are the adults hesitating about? At this time, if you don't build a hegemony, when will you be able to assist the country, revitalize the Han family, and rejuvenate the society? Frustration, Trial, Xu You and others followed Tian Feng and expressed the same opinion.

Yuan Shao's worries gradually disappeared, and he immediately made up his mind to first try to dominate the industry, and then prosper the society. If you want to dominate the industry, you must first have a foundation for survival.

Dong Zhuo is now concerned with the central, Kanto and western frontiers. Li Hong has northern Xinjiang. Yuan Shu has the foundation of Yuan Valve, and all the prefectures and counties in Jing and Henan will soon become his pocket.

Yuan Shao now has only one Bohai County. Therefore, Yuan Shao's top priority is to take Jizhou immediately, but can Jizhou be used as a foundation for plotting hegemony and revitalizing the community?

Curse, Xun Chen, Chen Lin and others believe that Jizhou should be the foundation for the revitalization of social education. At that time, Emperor Guangwu relied on the land of Hebei to promote the Han Dynasty, and today Yuan Shao can follow suit.

With the advantage of Jizhou, you can connect Liu Yu in Youzhou and Li Hong in the north to the north, attack the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro if you go west, and pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou if you go south.

A year or two later, adults not only have the land of Jiqing, Yanxu and Xu, millions of heroes with armor, but also countless heroes and heroes.

The power of the adults will spread all over the north and south of the Yellow River, and hegemony can be achieved. Then the lord took the power of thunder, first took Yuan Shu, and then joined Li Hong, and went west to attack Dong Zhuo, and welcomed the son of heaven in Luoyang.

At this time, the situation in the world has changed, how can Li Hong compete with adults with a northern frontier? At this point, adults can monopolize power, command the world, conquer rebellion, and the revitalization of the community is just around the corner.

The premise of this policy is that Yuan Shao should respect the son of today and unite with Li Hong. The explanation is that as Dong Zhuo retreats to Guanzhong, his strength will become stronger and stronger, and it will be very difficult for us to defeat Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong and Western Xinjiang alone in the future.

If we could get the help of Li Hong and the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry, things would be much easier. On the contrary, if we fight with Li Hong first, Dong Zhuo will benefit, and the matter of stabilizing the society will become far away.

If you want to unite with Li Hong, don't mention the matter of the imperial unification. As for the Son of Heaven, because he had been held hostage by Dong Zhuo for a long time, his prestige was lost, so he could only abdicate.

We are reinvigorating the society and the Kuang Zheng Han family, not to be alone today, Li Hong will definitely make concessions in this matter.

He will not do the business of the Son of Heaven for anyone, and confront the court and the whole world. Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Guo Tu and others objected to this opinion.

This strategy is good, but his strategy is based on Li Hong's absolute loyalty to the Great Han.

It takes many years to stabilize the society, who can guarantee that Li Hong will not participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world? Won't plot the cause of tyrant?

Everyone knows before and after the Luoyang Rebellion that if Dong Zhuo had not entered Beijing, or had given up his authority after entering Beijing, and returned to Guanzhong with the Xiliang Army, where would there be today's disaster of the overthrow of Sheji?

Also, Liu Yu is in the north of Jizhou, Li Hong is in the west, one is Youzhou, and the other is in northern Xinjiang, all of which are poor places.

In the past few years, because the Central Plains has not stopped rebelling, the displaced people have gone north, the population of the two places has skyrocketed, and the imperial court should have given them relief after Dong Zhuo's disaster, so the two places are now in crisis, and rebellion may break out at any time.

In this case, whether it is Li Hong or Liu Yu, their eyes are staring at Jizhou. We said that we would guarantee relief money and grain from Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou, but who of them would believe it?

Tian Feng said that Li Hong will definitely take Jizhou, he will not let Jizhou control the survival of northern Xinjiang, and he will definitely attack Jizhou when our foothold is not stable.

Therefore, even if we get our hands on Jizhou, we can't keep it and can't use it as a foundation. In addition, if Li Hong takes Jizhou, his strength will grow by leaps and bounds, and there is no possibility of bowing down to us in the future.

After he joins forces with us to defeat Dong Zhuo, he will definitely fight us, which is an unavoidable fate for both sides.

Tian Feng and others then proposed a strategy based on the Central Plains. Occupy the Central Plains, control most of Luoyang, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou, and then extend our forces to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and other places, so that we can not only get sufficient money and food, but also rapidly develop our strength, and at the same time temporarily avoid the conflict with Li Hong and accumulate strength.

In the future, even if the two sides fight, we can guarantee that we will be invincible. But there are two difficulties in achieving this strategy, one is to defeat Yuan Shu as soon as possible and drive Yuan Shu away.

The second is to defeat Dong Zhuo as soon as possible and take Luoyang. If you want to defeat Yuan Shu, you must first occupy Luoyang, occupy Yuzhou, and then attack with Liu Biao in front and back.

If you want to occupy Luoyang, you must defeat Dong Zhuo. This time, Li Hong's three-way sandwich attack in the middle to win is the best opportunity.

Therefore, Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Shao should fully help and cooperate with Li Hong. We not only send troops, money and food, but also obey the will of the imperial court and don't touch Han Fu for the time being.

At this time, we fell out with Han Fu, forcing Han Fu to have no way out, and the Northern Frontier Army was bound to lose money and food support.

But if Yuan Shao sent troops to fight Luoyang, he would not have the troops to stop the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army from moving south. Guo Tu said that we cannot stop the footsteps of the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army from moving south, on the contrary, we must help them join the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

It is precisely because of this that we have sent troops to fight Luoyang. In this way, our guilt of failing to stop the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro from moving south was covered up by the righteousness of King Dong Qin, and our failure was justified, and others had no excuse to accuse us.

The purpose of letting the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou converge is to ask the Yellow Turban Army to go north to attack Jizhou.

Let the Yellow Turban Army attack Jizhou for three purposes. The first is to force Han Fu to give up the Jizhou pastor and exempt the adults from the charge of forcibly seizing the military and political power in Jizhou.

After the Yellow Turban Army went north, Han Fu's troops were not enough to stop him. He only has two ways, one is to ask the adults for help, and the other is to ask Liu Yu in Youzhou for help.

At this time, the adults had already retreated to Yanzhou, and there was no time to go north, and only Gongsun Chan could go south to help. When Gongsun Zhan arrived in Jizhou, the adults could promise generous conditions for him to coerce Han Fu to give up Jizhou Mu.

Faced with the crisis of the cut off of food and salaries for the army in Northern Xinjiang, in the face of the crime of failing to fight Dong that he was about to bear, in the face of Gongsun Zhan's powerful force, in the face of the accusations of the officials of the Jizhou Prefecture, in the face of the betrayal of his subordinates, and in the face of the constant pressure exerted by the adults, he had no choice but to give up the military and political power in Jizhou.

The second purpose was to lure Gongsun Chan south. If the Yellow Turban Army does not fight Jizhou, Gongsun Chan will not go south.

After Gongsun Chan went south, the lord gave him all the power that could be given to him, anyway, the lord had the edict in his hand, and he could do whatever he wanted.

We did this for one purpose, and that was to arouse Gongsun Zhan's arrogance and make him despise us and think that we were vulnerable.

Then we will stir up the relationship between him and Liu Yu and Li Hong, deliberately provoke Gongsun Zhan, and make him have the heart to seize Jizhou and dominate the world.

As long as we fight with Gongsun Zhan, coupled with the invasion of the Yellow Turban Army, Jizhou will be in chaos. In order to survive in northern Xinjiang, Li Hong must transfer troops to Jizhou to quell the rebellion.

This gave rise to a third purpose, the adults took the opportunity to occupy Luoyang. After Li Hong conquered Luoyang, it was very likely that the eldest princess and the Jinyang court would move to Luoyang, and they would constantly urge Han Fu and the adults to enter Beijing to discuss matters.

Although the lord didn't want to mention the matter of the imperial system, the court would not fail to mention it. For the sake of safety, adults will of course use all kinds of excuses to shirk.

When Li Hong sent troops to Jizhou and all the main forces of northern Xinjiang arrived in Hebei, the adults could go to Luoyang, and Luoyang was at their fingertips.

The adults occupied Luoyang, and at this time, Li Hong was trapped on the battlefield in Jizhou, unable to look westward, only staring.

The northern Xinjiang lost Luoyang, and also lost the money and grain support of Jingzhou and Yuzhou. At this time, Li Hong had no choice but to attack with all his strength and take Jizhou first.

If Jizhou is occupied by Gongsun Zhan, and Luoyang is lost, Li Hong, the leopard, will really kill himself with a knife to thank Beijiang.

Of course, if Li Hong shakes hands with Gongsun Zhan, we will be under great pressure, but if the two of them fight you to the death, we will be relaxed, and we can plan for hegemony and revitalize the community with peace of mind.

The lord has taken Luoyang, and the lord is in charge, and the next thing will be easy to do. The eldest princess and the imperial court are both in Luoyang, and whatever the adults want to do, including attacking Yuan Shu.

As for Li Hong, the lord still tried his best to appease, because in the future attack on Dong Zhuo, we need the full help of the hussar general.

At this time, the judge smiled and said, "Your Excellency may have been overly worried. The hussar general wants to dominate one side, and his first target is, of course, Jizhou. Perhaps we are doing this in the right way for the hussar general. Yuan Shao and the officials sitting there looked at each other and smiled.

"Everyone is a Han courtier, and they must behave and do things in accordance with etiquette and law, so as not to be truthful." Xin Ping patted his cheek and smiled slightly,

"This face, I still want it." The crowd laughed. In March, Wei County, Jizhou, Yecheng. Ever since Yuan Shao's defeat in Heyang, Han Fu felt that the situation was wrong.

First of all, there has been a sudden increase in the number of letters between the government and other places. The second is that Xun Chen arrived in Yecheng, visited and lobbied, and invited celebrities and officials every day.

Yecheng is full of news that Jizhou Mu Han Fu is about to serve as the third prince of the imperial court, and Yuan Shao will succeed him as Jizhou Mu.

Han Fu was very angry, called Xun Chen to the mansion, pointed at Sang and scolded Huaidi, and then invited him out of Yecheng.

Xun Chen left, and the atmosphere in Yecheng eased a little, but then there was an incident of disobeying the military order by the officials of the Jizhou army.

After the Yellow River thawed and opened section by section, the displaced people began to cross the river to the north. Lieutenant Pan Feng, Lieutenant Hu Yi, and Zhang Sheng ignored Han Fu's orders and refused to block the Yellow River crossings everywhere, allowing the displaced people to pour into Jizhou in droves.

Han Fu was very annoyed by this, but he didn't dare to accuse too much, for fear of angering the soldiers of the army. On this day, one of Han Fu's cronies, Peng's family, intercepted a letter, which was written by Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai to Changshi Liu Gong, and Liu Dai said that Han Fu was extremely unbearable in the letter.

said that when he begged Dong, he hid behind, and the food and salary provided was insufficient, and after killing Dong Zhuo in the future, he would definitely be killed.

Liu Dai persuaded Liu Gong in the book and helped Yuan Shao drive Han Fu away as soon as possible. Han Fu was furious after reading it, and immediately ordered someone to escort Liu Gong to the mansion.

"Zihui, I regard you as a sibling, how can you betray me?" Liu Gong flatly denied it. Han Fu smashed Liu Dai's letter in his face, scolded him angrily, and then beheaded him for public display.

Geng Wu, Xianpei, Min Chun and other government officials engaged in bitter pleading.

"Zihui has always been loyal to your lord, how can your lord kill him with a letter that is indistinguishable from falsehood?" Han Fu didn't really want to kill Liu Gong.

He just wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey and warn the subordinates in the house. Han Fu did not kill Liu Gong, but his anger did not subside, and he ordered someone to whip him fifty times, and then drove him out of the mansion.

The trial persuaded Liu Gong to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, saying that Yuan Shao valued him very much. Liu Gong scolded Yuan Shao,

"Today, Yuan Ben fell into my injustice, and he will be rewarded in the future." He took his family to Jinyang to join the eldest princess.

Before leaving. He said to the government officials who came to see him off, Yuan Shao wants to seize Jizhou, you must protect the adults and don't let him harm Yuan Shao.

If the matter is irretrievable, you will persuade your lord to go to the Jinyang court. When Han Fu heard about it, he regretted it very much, and hurriedly sent someone to catch up with Liu Gong and gave him a large amount of money and silk silk to express his regret.

Two days later, Yuan Shao urgently reported that in order to cooperate with the hussar general to attack Luoyang, he had ordered Chun Yuqiong, He Qian, and Wu Zheng to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Heyang, preparing to attack Luoyang again.

Now that he has few troops, considering that the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro is about to go down the mountain, he specially asked Han Fu if he could transfer the Jizhou Army stationed in Hanoi to his command.

Of course Han Fu was unwilling. Geng Wu immediately advised Han Fu to transfer Zhao Fu, Cheng Lian, and 10,000 troops stationed in Mengze, Hanoi, back to Wei County in case of accidents.

Han Fu immediately ordered the army to be requisitioned back to Jizhou to garrison. In mid-March, Yuan Shao reported again that the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro had suddenly descended the mountain, and his own troops were not strong, so he had to cross the river and withdraw to Yanzhou.

At this time, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zheng Gu, had already led tens of thousands of troops straight to Yecheng. Han Fu hurriedly dispatched the 10,000 troops of Captain Pan Feng, Commander Hu Yi and Zhang Sheng back to Yecheng, but the three of them turned a deaf ear and not only did not support, but instead retreated to Yanzhou East County.

Pan Feng replied that the main purpose of Bai Huan was to cross the river south and join the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou East County, so the people and horses along the road were just a trick to lure the enemy, and adults should not be fooled.

As long as Bai Huan and Yu poison are blocked north of the Yellow River, Jizhou will be fine. Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu anxious Han Fu, Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army under the leadership of Sima Ju, Xu He, Guan Cheng and others, with a million troops to kill Dongjun, the situation is extremely critical, please come to help.

Han Fu was shocked, and urgently wrote to Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, asking for reinforcements. If Jizhou is lost, Youzhou will be in danger.

In mid-March, Youzhou Jicheng. Liu Yu received Han Fu's letter, and without hesitation, he immediately urged the rebellious general Gongsun Zan and the school captain Tian Kai to ride 30,000 steps and quickly go south to quell the rebellion.

Gongsun Zan was very surprised, and hurriedly wrote to Liu Yu, my lord, the army is all going south, and Youzhou doesn't want troops to defend it?

Liu Yu said, don't want it, what I want now is Gongwei Sheji, which is a war achievement. You personally led your army south, and you must put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion once and for all, otherwise you will not come back.

Gongsun Zhan is upset for Liu Yu, my lord, what are you afraid of? If you are the emperor in Youzhou, I will definitely follow you to fight the world.

Liu Yu was furious and scolded him,

"What do you kid know? Immediately send me south to fight. In mid-February, Liu He's letter was sent to Youzhou, begging his father to send troops to help, and King Qin to ask Dong.

Liu Yu was in a bad mood at that time, and he was worried about what happened in Jinyang, and at this time, he suddenly saw an opportunity to repay the country's merits, so he was willing to miss it, and hurriedly transferred the army south.

Gongsun Zhan dissuaded, this is going to Nanyang, thousands of miles away, if the army goes south, how can there be military resources, grain and grass?

Liu Yu couldn't listen to it and insisted on sending troops south. Gongsun Zhan understood his mood and didn't want to block it too much, so he asked Gongsun Yue to take two thousand iron horsemen and quickly go south to Nanyang to meet Liu He.

If Luoyang is really defeated, Liu Yu, Liu and his father and son will also be regarded as having made war achievements. But this time, Liu Yu actually wanted to use the Youzhou army to go south to quell the rebellion, and Gongsun Zhan couldn't accept it.

If something happened in Youzhou, Liu Yu wanted to lose his head, and he would also lose his head, which is not good. Liu Yu was anxious and quarreled with Gongsun Zhan in the letter.

Liu Yu said, you immediately give me the matter of going south and garrisoning Youzhou, I will ask Yan Rou, the general of Jianwei in northern Xinjiang, to be responsible, and you don't care.

Gongsun Chan was not happy. Jump to
