Chapter 2 is like the abyss, the fifth section of December, Nanyang. After the snowfall, Lü Bu and Hu Zhen led the army to slowly retreat.

Sun Jian took the opportunity to march out of Luyang and chased him all the way to Liangcheng in Yin, Henan, where he confronted Lü Bu's army on both sides of the Rushui River.

At this time, the scouts came to report, and Dong Zhuo led the army out of the customs to help. Seeing the big fluttering on the other side of the river, Sun Jian was worried about the plan, and hurriedly led the army to retreat to Luyang.

After arriving in Luyang, Sun Jian received an urgent letter from Kong Ling, saying that Dong Zhuo personally led the army to support Hu Zhen, and tens of thousands of troops stormed Yangzhai City, but he could not hold it, and had retreated to Yingyin City.

Yang Zhai City was lost, Sun Jian's right flank was immediately unprotected, and the army was attacked on both sides, and the situation was critical. Just when he was considering whether to support Kong Ling or withdraw to Wancheng to join Yuan Shu, Kong Ling was in a hurry again.

The Tiger Lie general Yan Liang suddenly appeared under Yingyin City, and the Northern Frontier Army inflicted heavy losses on Hu Zhen and killed Li Meng.

Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to Yangzhai City. Sun Jian was overjoyed and immediately wrote to Yuan Shu, asking him to quickly lead the army north to join and attack Luoyang.

Yuan Shu's army is now partly in Wancheng, and part of it is led by Ji Ling and Qiao Rui to chase Dong Yue and Li Su, and there are no troops to adjust, so he immediately sent a letter to Xiangyang Liu Biao and asked him to send troops north to attack Luoyang.

Yuan Shu never forgot Jingzhou, and anyone could see this bit of his thoughts. Liu Biao replied that the Beiyu Rebellion in Nanjun had not yet been pacified, Su Dai and Cao Yin in Changsha and Wuling counties were still fighting, and the Jingzhou army was temporarily unable to go north to attack Luoyang.

He believed that Jingzhou's immediate priority was to quickly quell the rebellion, stabilize the county, and then do everything in its power to provide food and wages to the lord and the various Qin kings to ask for Dong's army.

Liu Biao said at the back of the letter that after the lord led the army of Dong from all walks of life to capture Luoyang, he would have made outstanding achievements and would definitely be able to enter the court as a prince.

This Nanyang Taishou will naturally not serve as a concurrently anymore, so should Nanyang return it to Jingzhou as soon as possible?

Yuan Shu sneered and said to Kuai Yue, who came to deliver the letter: "Liu Jingsheng is threatening me. If I don't agree, won't he give me food? Kuai Yue said: "My lord, I will be the general and lead the Nanyang Taishou, who is this holy decree?" Could it be that the Lord respects Dong Zhuo and the Chang'an Imperial Court? Dong Zhuo is a national thief, and he has a blood feud with adults, and the Chang'an court is Dong Zhuo's court, and such a holy decree is also obeyed? Since the lord regards Dong Zhuo as a national thief, this holy decree of the Chang'an court has no effect, that is to say, the lord is still the rear general, not the Nanyang Taishou. Yuan Shu was speechless.

Kuai Yue also said that Jingzhou is in turmoil, how can Lord Liu ensure the continuous supply of food and salary? If you want to successfully capture Luoyang, Lord Liu must first stabilize the counties of Jingzhou.

At the end of December, Zhu Junshu told Yuan Shu, Kong Ling, Yan Liang, Sun Jian and others that Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, Wu Yi Zhonglang General Gao Lan and others led the army to attack the Yellow Turban Army Sima Ju and Xu He, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated in Pengcheng and retreated to the area of Mount Tai to continue to hold on.

Now Tao Qian, Zhang Miao and others are commanding the army to pursue the Yellow Turban Army. The cities of Donghae, Langya and other counties were recovered, and Gao Lan, Zhu Zhi and others had already led their troops back to Gyeonggi, and it was estimated that they would be able to reach Zhongmu in the middle of the first month.

Zhu Jun implored all of you to immediately raise food and grass, and march north with the whole army, and strive to launch an attack on Luoyang in early February.

Zhu Jun said that the siege of Luoyang by the tripartite army has basically taken shape, and the various armies are now being assembled one after another.

However, with Dong Zhuo's talent, he will be able to estimate the development of the situation in the next few months. Therefore, it is very likely that Dong Zhuo will take advantage of the fact that the southern armies have not yet been assembled, and quickly move south to occupy Nanyang and Yingchuan, so as to ensure that the northern army can advance and retreat freely.

In order to resist Dong Zhuo's upcoming series of attacks, Zhu Jun persuaded Yuan Shu to immediately join hands with Liu Biao and jointly send troops to Luyang to meet Sun Jian, and resolutely and decisively drive Dong Zhuo out of Nanyang and Yingchuan.

After receiving Zhu Jun's letter, Yuan Shu discussed with Li Ye, Yan Xiang and others whether to listen to Zhu Jun's advice and gather troops to attack Luoyang.

Li Ye and Yan Xiang thought that they should abide by the agreement with the hussar general and lead the army north according to the predetermined plan.

This time, with the hussar general and the Northern Xinjiang Army participating in the battle, it was not a problem to take Luoyang. Yuan Shu did not agree to go north.

Now that the three-way attack army has surrounded Luoyang, there are more than 20,000 troops of Zhu Jun, Yan Liang, Kong Ling and Sun Jian in the south of Luoyang, and the strength is enough to contain Dong Zhuo, so there is no need for him to go again.

Going there didn't help much, but increased the consumption of the army's food and salary. And more importantly, once the army leaves Wancheng, Liu Biao is bound to take the opportunity to occupy Nanyang.

Isn't the purpose of Liu Biao's refusal to send troops to Luoyang to take back Nanyang while I go north?

"The hussar general's three-way attack and the strategy of winning in the middle are very beneficial to Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao took the lead in entering Luoyang, his achievements were high and he was in the top position, what should I do? Do you want me to pay a salute to Yuan Shao? Do you want me to give up the position of the head of the Yuan family? Yuan Shu shook his hand and said,

"Yuan Shao advanced to Luoyang, and Nanyang was occupied by Liu Biao, I have no way out, and sooner or later it will be a dead end, so I won't fight Luoyang, let alone leave Wancheng."

"After the capture of Luoyang, the situation will be more complicated, the power struggle in the court will be very fierce, and whether Yuan Valve can survive depends entirely on the final result of the power struggle of all parties. Therefore, at this time, I am in charge of the army, which will play a vital role in the future survival of Yuan Valve. Yuan Shu said,

"As long as I have Jingzhou and an army in my hands, Yuan Shao will be fine, and Yuan Shao will not want to sit on the position of head of the family."

"Why? What is the reason why we don't go to Luoyang? Li Ye asked.

"Hit Chang'an." Yuan Shu pointed to the Wuguan on the map and said,

"Let's go fight Chang'an. This reason is too good for anyone to refute. Our attack on Wuguan can show my loyalty to the Son of Heaven, contain Dong Zhuo's forces from the direction of Guanzhong, and also preserve our strength to prevent Liu Biao from raiding Nanyang. "The first month of the second year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty (191 AD).

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Son of Heaven granted amnesty to the world. At the beginning of the first month, Nanyang, Wancheng. The eldest princess set up a dynasty in Jinyang, and sent an edict to the king of Qin to ask for Dong to send to Nanyang.

The letters of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, and Dongjun Wang Qiu were also sent to Yuan Shu at the same time.

In Liu Dai's letter, there is also a handwritten letter from Yuan Shao. The content of the four letters is the same, all of which persuade Yuan Shu to join them in supporting Liu Yu as emperor and reviving the Han Dynasty.

Li Ye, Yang Hong, Xun Zheng, and Yan Xiang were very shocked. Li Yechang sighed: "The great opportunity to revitalize the community was buried like this. ”

"Who would have thought that Jinyang Chaoyan would become an ornament in the blink of an eye." Xun Zheng also smiled bitterly,

"After Dong Zhuo knows, he can live in Guanzhong from now on and sit back and relax." Yuan Shu laughed,

"Yuan Benchu and Han Wenjie deceived people too much, and they brought their own death. Can you control Northern Xinjiang with Jizhou? What a joke. However, in this way, our opportunity has come. ”

"Your Excellency is determined to come together with Northern Xinjiang?" Yan Xiang asked worriedly,

"Future ......"

"We'll talk about the future later." Yuan Shu said with a smile,

"As long as I have Jingzhou, I will have peace of mind."

"So what do we do now? Or do you advocate a temporary fight against the military customs? Yang Hong asked.

"Yuan Shao's move may anger Liu Yu and Li Hong, and if Northern Xinjiang and Jizhou fight hard, the Battle of Luoyang will not be fought."

"It is difficult for us to accurately predict how the Jinyang Imperial Court and Northern Xinjiang will react to this dispute, so we can only take one step at a time." Yuan Shu said,

"As long as we firmly grasp Jingzhou and Yuzhou, we can be invincible. With money, food, and an army, no matter what happens, we can calmly deal with it. Yuan Shu immediately replied to Yuan Shao.

Today's son is wise and wise, with outstanding qualifications, and is a peerless genius. The thief Dong Zhuo took advantage of the national crisis to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and control the court, which was just a small bad luck for my Han.

You say the emperor

"It was not from the first emperor, and there is no royal blood", this is purely slander, it is a crime of the following crimes, it is a great rebellion, and it should be punished with capital punishment.

You said

"The whole family was killed, and it is no longer possible to call such an emperor a vassal", this is even more nonsense. Who killed our kin?

It's Dong Zhuo, not the son of heaven. Are you blind? I Yuan Shu is loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty, I respect the Son of Today, I am full of sincerity, I only know that I want to be diligent to ask for Dong, to revitalize the community, I don't know anything else.

If you want to rebuild the imperial system, you should do it alone, don't affect our Yuan family, ruin the reputation of our Yuan family, and insult the ancestors and ancestors of our Yuan family.

Liu He also read the letters of Han Fu and other ministers, and people were already angry. If you seize power, you will seize power, but there is really no need to force our family to death.

From now on, Liu Yu's charge of usurping the mastermind and plotting treason has been confirmed. Even if King Liu Yuqin succeeds in courting Dong in the future, rescues the Son of Heaven, and revitalizes the society, it is inevitable that the Son of Heaven will find an excuse to punish the nine clans.

Since ancient times, which emperor dared to leave such a minister in the world? Liu He wanted to leave for Jinyang immediately.

Yuan Shu asked him, what are you doing in Jinyang? Flee to Youzhou with your father, and escape to the mountains and forests to avoid trouble?

You and your father are both ministers of the clan and descendants of the former queen, can you watch your ancestors be destroyed in one fell swoop?

Afraid of what? Isn't it death? If death can save the community, it is worth dying. Liu He scolded angrily, and then immediately wrote a letter to Liu Yu.

The catastrophe has happened, my Liu family can't hide, on the occasion of the danger of the society, my Liu family has to shed blood and sweat for the revitalization of the society, so as not to humiliate the ancestors.

I implore my father to immediately send an army south, and I will lead this army to attack Luoyang, and King Qin will fight against Dong, and swear to defend Sheji.

Liu He handed over the letter to several of his henchmen and attendants, and asked them to rush to Jinyang day and night, and at the same time asked them to tell Liu Yu about the fact that they had obtained the holy decree of the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Shu immediately dissuaded,

"This matter should not be done." Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others did not admit that they wanted to rebuild the imperial system at all, so if this holy decree appeared in Jinyang, it would not only be useless, but would exacerbate the deterioration of the situation.

At present, what the Jinyang Imperial Court has to do is to decisively handle the issue of power distribution and avoid the rupture between Northern Xinjiang and Jizhou.

If Northern Xinjiang and Jizhou break up, the role of the eldest princess in building a dynasty will be lost.

"This decree doesn't really have any effect anymore." Yuan Shu said,

"If the issue of the distribution of power in the Jinyang court is properly resolved, and all prefectures and counties support the Jinyang court, then not to mention the rebuilding of the imperial system, even the rebuilding of Sheji can also be." Liu He was very frustrated and extremely sad.

Yuan Shu said, you give me this blank holy decree. With this holy decree, I can justifiably attack Liu Biao and control the two states of Jing and Henan.

The Jinyang court has Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou, Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and then defeats Luoyang and unites the four states, and we can revitalize Sheji.

Liu He thought for a while and said, when Jinyang has a reply, the matter is irreparable, I will give you this blank holy decree, and you can write it as you want.

In the middle of the first month, Jinyang. Zhang Qi, Minister of State of Anping, Shi Liu Gong, Governor of Jizhou, engaged in trial and matching, Xu Yu and Feng Ji of Bohai County, and a total of 17 officials from other prefectures and counties braved the wind and snow to rush to Jinyang.

On behalf of the officials of various states and counties, they jointly submitted a petition to demand the deposition of the current son, the re-establishment of the imperial system, and the formal establishment of the dynasty.

Jinyang shook. The eldest princess was shocked when she heard the news, and immediately sent a copy of the edict to Hedong with a fast ride of 800 miles, and urged the hussar general Li Hong to return to the court quickly.

Chen Ji of the Eldest Princess's Mansion quickly commanded the Tiger Ben Guards to surround the Taifu Mansion. Taifu Liu Yu was furious,

"If today's son is in trouble, ** is in trouble for the country, and the society is in danger, you and other state and county officials don't want to serve the country, but instead plot this kind of counterplot to tarnish my reputation, where is the reason?" Zhang Wen and other court officials beat their chests and feet, looked up to the sky and sighed,

"The defeat of the community is imminent, and it cannot be reversed by manpower." The old ministers never expected that the Jinyang Imperial Court would collapse more than a month after its establishment, but what they didn't expect was that the culprit was none other than the scholars themselves.

Li Wei, the hussar general's mansion, urgently wrote to Li Hong, and the Jinyang court suddenly suffered an accident, and implored the general to immediately give an order to recover all military and political power in northern Xinjiang and minimize the losses in northern Xinjiang.

The three governments discussed collegially, and Li Wei suggested that the Jinyang court should make every effort to solve the crisis of imperial unity, and the Taifu Mansion would no longer deal with state affairs for the time being, and all the government affairs of the Taifu Mansion would be temporarily handed over to the Hussar General's Mansion.

Li Wei asked the eldest princess to immediately rush to Yunzhong with an 800-mile fast horse, and ordered Zhao Yun, the general of Duliao, to immediately lead 5,000 iron cavalry to the south, Chen Binghuguan, and guard against changes in Jizhou.

Then he issued an order to Gongsun Zhan, the rebellious general of Youzhou, and ordered him to immediately lead 20,000 cavalry and go south to the three counties of Hejian, Bohai and Zhongshan.

Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Ma Riyan and other old ministers resolutely opposed the use of large armies to threaten Jizhou. Li Wei roared loudly: "How can you not kill such a disaster for the country?" "Jump to
