Chapter 10 won the Central Plains 11th section of the Han Dynasty in the fourth year of Jianxing (200 AD), the first month, Jinyang.

The successive problems of moving south made the eldest princess extremely angry. First of all, the government officials, officials and wealthy men of the three prefectures of Hebei ignored the decree of the imperial court and openly occupied the land, which led to the discontent of the people of Hebei, and then the Qing and Yan prefectures appeared

The evil case of "enclosing land and speculating on land", the imperial court's southward relocation policy was severely hit. The strategy of moving south could not be implemented smoothly, which not only plunged Hebei into a crisis, but also delayed the time for the army to attack Luoyang.

The inability of the army to attack after the spring ploughing gave the rebels more time to breathe and recover, with unpredictable consequences.

The eldest princess successively issued decrees ordering the government offices at all levels in the three prefectures of Hebei to re-inventory the land, and all the land that was encroached upon by the government officials, officials and wealthy men was immediately given up and distributed to the people to stabilize the counties of Hebei.

If there is any resistance to the decree, there will be no forgiveness. At the same time, more than a dozen patrol messengers were also ordered to go to various places to carry out inspections, and once they found that they were corrupt and bent the law, those who did not comply with the order were killed on the spot.

The eldest princess urgently ordered the general Li Hong, to supervise the military administration of Qing and Yanzhou, and thoroughly investigate the two states

The "enclosure and speculation" incident severely punished those who violated the law and discipline. Officials with less than 2,000 stone who are suspected of being among them, as long as the evidence is conclusive, will be killed.

Prime Minister Cai Yong, Imperial Historian Liu He, Taichang Xu Shao and other ministers believed that the eldest princess's approach was too drastic, which not only did not help Hebei's stability, but might intensify Hebei's contradictions.

The eldest princess refused to be admonished. She believes that the rule of officials in Hebei has begun, and it is necessary to severely punish the law, punish them severely, and never tolerate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and kill as many as they want, so as to ensure the steady progress of the great cause of the Han Dynasty.

The arguments among the ministers were also very intense. The ministers headed by Li Wei and Liu Fang resolutely supported the eldest princess's rectification of Hebei's officials, believing that the southward relocation incident fully illustrated the serious drawbacks of ruling the country by virtue and emphasizing courtesy over law.

It is recommended that the imperial court govern the country with heavy punishments, remove punishments with punishments, and punish lawlessness. Because of the serious consequences of this southward migration, the opponents have pale in their voices in the court.

Cai Yong and other ministers could only remain silent under the angry rebuke of the eldest princess. The eldest princess took advantage of this rare opportunity to promulgate a series of new policies and laws aimed at maintaining the smooth implementation of the new policy, among which the punishment of those who bent the law for bribes, twisted the law for personal gain, and caused chaos to society was particularly severe.

And the promulgation of this series of new policies and new laws has turned the court towards

The road of "ruling the country by law, honoring the law" has been greatly advanced. While the civil officials of Jinyang were arguing over which strategy to adopt would be more conducive to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the generals were also engaged in a fierce debate about the strategy of conquest in the coming period.

Due to the major changes in the southward migration, the strategy of attacking Guanzhong after the spring ploughing was affected, and the Taiwei Xu Rong, Guangluxun Zhang Yan, and the Weiwei Lü Bu immediately disagreed on the direction of the army's attack.

Xu Rong, the general of the right chariot cavalry and the chief lieutenant, insisted on first defeating Guanzhong, and then besieging Luoyang, and joined forces with the Central Plains army to conquer the capital.

In order to defeat Guanzhong, Xu Rong played the eldest princess and asked to recruit the Hu iron cavalry and gather an army of about 100,000 to 150,000 infantry cavalry to attack Guanzhong.

Zhang Yan, the general of the right guard and Guangluxun, believes that the current attack on Guanzhong is against Han Sui and Yuan Shao.

Once the army is unfavorable, it will inevitably fall into the Guanzhong battlefield, which will lead to the failure of the imperial court's strategy to take Luoyang and take the Central Plains within one to two years.

Judging from the current situation in Guanzhong, Han Sui's purpose is obvious, he wants to occupy Guanzhong in order to form a three-legged situation with Hebei and Luoyang.

Whoever wants to fight him, he joins forces with another family to fight the enemy. In order to avoid trapping the army in the Guanzhong battlefield, we might as well let Guanzhong maintain the current situation.

Let Yang Feng and Pang De take part of their forces to defend Hedong, and we will concentrate all our main forces in the Central Plains, attack Luoyang from Henan, Hanoi and Yingchuan, and fight with Yuan Shao alone.

Although Han Sui knew that Yuan Shao couldn't stop us, he was powerless to help Yuan Shao. Chang'an is 800 miles away from Luoyang, and the Xiliang army is beyond the reach of the whip, and there are our infantry and cavalry armies in the Hedong and Anding areas to threaten Sanfu, in this case, Han Sui can only send troops to attack Hedong to contain our forces.

He has nothing to do with us, but to watch us conquer Luoyang and destroy his dream of dominating the western frontier.

Therefore, Zhang Yan suggested that the eldest princess should concentrate on the Central Plains and gather an army of about 150,000 foot cavalry to attack Luoyang.

Lü Bu supported Zhang Yan's attack strategy. If the Guanzhong War began, the army on the battlefield in the Central Plains would not be able to dispatch because of the lack of food and grass, so Yuan Shao would have enough time to recover.

The Guanzhong occupied by Han Sui is a deserted place, and even if he is given a few years, he will not be able to restore Guanzhong to increase his strength, so Han Sui is not a big threat to us.

But Yuan Shao is different, Yuan Shao is related to the east, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou Liu Biao, a strong backup, every day he passes, his strength recovers a few points.

The longer we give him, the more his strength recovers, and the more difficult it will be for us to attack Luoyang in the future.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to stabilize Guanzhong and Han Sui and concentrate all forces to attack Luoyang from the direction of Henan, Hanoi, and Yingchuan.

However, Lu Bu believed that there was no need for more than 100,000 troops in the Central Plains to rest and recuperate, and the general could completely transfer half of the army to the south immediately to kill Xuzhou and eliminate Cao Cao.

If the army can occupy Xuzhou and kill Cao Cao, it will be of great benefit to the future Luoyang War and the future army to pacify the world.

We should not let this opportunity go to waste. It is difficult for Zhong Xuan, the chief secretary of the military council, Jia Xu, the secretary of the Shaofu (one of the Shaofu who was worshiped for his merits after returning to Jinyang) and Li Wei, the monk of Shangshu, to make it difficult to make it clear who they support, so they can only explain their respective positions from the perspective of the imperial court's wealth.

If according to the original attack strategy of the imperial court, that is, the attack method insisted on by Lord Xu Rong, the Taiwei, it would take four major battles to conquer Luoyang, Guanzhong, Guanxi, Yingchuan and Luoyang.

This is a heavy burden for the imperial court. If the imperial court now changed its strategy and adopted Zhang Yan's attack method, then the two major battles of Guanzhong and Guanxi could be avoided.

Guanzhong will not fight, and after Guanxi is conquered in Luoyang, it will be a matter of going down with a drum, and there will be no fierce battle.

Conquering Luoyang with two major battles is cost-effective both in terms of time and wealth. This kind of thing, the eldest princess didn't dare to make up her own mind.

She said to the ministers, "You should discuss and deliberate carefully, and then write to the general, and ask him to make a final agreement with the ministers such as Koji-sama, Yu-sama, Yan-sama, and Zhao-sama."

A few days later, the general and Xun You, Yang Qi and other ministers jointly signed a concert to negotiate peace with Cao Cao. In the recital, the benefits of marrying and negotiating peace with Cao Cao are explained very thoroughly.

Hebei could inflict heavy losses on Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu without spending a single soldier, which was of course much more clever than Lü Bu's proposal to attack Xuzhou.

The eldest princess issued an edict to agree to the recital of the generals and ministers, and appeased Cao Cao and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Considering that the battle against Luoyang would be postponed for a while, the eldest princess discussed with her aunt Princess Yang Zhai and the general's wife Xiaoyu, planning to recall Fu Gan and let him get married in Jinyang.

However, before the matter could be discussed, one bad news after another came. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Mr. Cui Lie died of illness.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Mr. Chen Ji died of illness. On the twenty-first day of the first month, Mr. Yuan died of illness. I don't know if it's too sad, or if the deadline has arrived, on the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the old man of Ding Palace, who was suffering from illness, died of illness.

So far, Ma Riyan, Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Cui Lie, Chen Ji, Yuan Peng, and Ding Gong, the seven respected veterans of the DPRK and China, who rushed to Jinyang from Chang'an on the same day and took on the important task of saving Sheji, have all passed away.

Jin Yang was immersed in great grief. New Year, Luoyang. There was no festive atmosphere in Luoyang in the New Year, and a bloody storm enveloped the entire city.

In the middle of the wax moon, Yuan Shao braved the heavy snow to rush to Huayin and met with Han Sui. The two not only talked happily, but also became in-laws.

Han Sui married his daughter to Yuan Tan. Although Yuan Tan already has two wives, this does not affect the sincerity of the marriage and peace between the two parties.

After bidding farewell to Han Sui, Yuan Shao hurriedly returned to Luoyang for the New Year. When they arrived in Shaancheng, Chun Yuqiong and Wang Xiu held a banquet to entertain them.

Yuan Shao was in a good mood and drank a little more, but when he was dizzy and ready to rest, he was assassinated by a group of guards.

This group of guards was very ferocious, slashing and shooting, killing more than a dozen of Yuan Shao's personal guards in one go, and almost killed Yuan Shao.

If it weren't for Wang Xiu's desperate protection of Yuan Shao and blocking two arrows for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would definitely return to heaven. Yuan Shao's guards swarmed up and cut down all the assassins to the ground.

Feng Ji was still sober and even called for a living, but it was too late, and all the assassins were already in different places.

Yuan Shao was furious and asked Feng Ji to immediately find out the identity of these assassins. That night, Feng Ji told the frightened Yuan Shao that the group of assassins were indeed Chun Yuqiong's subordinates, three of whom had been disciples of Tian Feng's family, two of whom had been disciples of the Fu Zhu family, and seven of whom had been disciples of Xu Yu's family, and that after Xu You's death, they had gone to Kansai to take refuge with Chun Yuqiong.

These people are highly skilled in martial arts and well-prepared, and Yuan Shao was not killed, which is indeed a fluke. Yuan Shao's lungs exploded, and he immediately threw Chun Yuqiong into the prisoner car and escorted him back to Luoyang.

Tian Feng had already been released by Yuan Shao at this time. There were too many people who interceded for him, and Yuan Shao really wanted to use him again because the situation in Kanto was getting more and more tense, so he let him go.

Who knew that a few days after he came out, he was arrested again. This time, Feng Ji personally interrogated, and all the big punishments were used, forcing Tian Feng to admit that he and Jizhou officials such as Fu Zhu joined forces to assassinate Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng flatly denied it. Feng Ji didn't bother to talk to him, grabbed his hand and put a handprint on the confession.

Two days later, Chun Yuqiong and Tian Feng were killed. After Yuan Xi of Nanyang received Yuan Shao's letter, he was in disbelief.

He quietly sent someone to inform him and asked him to flee quickly. However, what made him unbelievable was that not only did he not escape, but instead walked into the mansion with a calm expression and wanted to surrender.

Yuan Xi was stupid, he hid in the inner mansion and couldn't come out, so he drove Fu Zhi out of the city, and gave him a horse and a lot of money.

The next day, Yuan Xi was still sleeping, and his subordinates came to report, and the frustration came back. Yuan Xi was helpless, so he had to tell the truth to Fu Zhi.

Boss, who wants to kill my father, you and I have a number in our hearts, and my father also knows in my heart, but the tiger poison does not eat children, what can he do?

Chun Yuqiong and Tian Feng have died in vain, why do you have to pay for your life? I'm begging you, go away.

My father will not hold me accountable, nor will he send you after you. I know you don't want to betray my father and you don't want to go back to Hebei, but you can go to Xiangyang, you can go to Yizhou, you can even go to Jiangdong, why do you have to die here?

Frustrated and sighed,

"My heart is dead." Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and sent someone to send him home,

"I'm not going to arrest you, let alone kill you." That night, he committed suicide. Soon, all of his family members in Luoyang were killed, and only Fuhu, the son of Fuzhu, fled.

He was stationed in Chenggao, and after receiving the news secretly sent by the trial, he fled to Hebei overnight and survived.

This month, nearly 100 civil and military officials were implicated in the assassination incident, and most of these people were protégés of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Chun Yuqiong.

In the mass grave at the foot of the mountain, there are thousands more innocent souls. In February, Yuan Shao received a letter from Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, asking for help.

Liu Zhang's life is more difficult now. The rebellion of Zhao Wei in Bajun in the south has not been quelled, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong in the north has come over again.

Liu Zhang begged Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong to relieve the danger in Chengdu. Yuan Shao has always been very disgusted with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu's Five Dou Mi Sect and Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao have quite a relationship. As long as Yuan Shao thought of the Yellow Turban Army that had ravaged the world, he wanted to enter Hanzhong and cut Zhang Lu and Wudou Mijiao to the roots.

Sooner or later, these rebellions will stick a stab in my back. Yuan Shao then planned to let Xu Xuan, Xin Bi, and Yuan Xi lead an army to attack Hanzhong.

Taking Hanzhong will be of great benefit to the recovery of Guanzhong in the future. Feng Ji hurriedly dissuaded that the Northern Xinjiang Army could attack Luoyang at any time, and it was absolutely impossible to use troops against Hanzhong at this moment.

It is very simple to deal with Zhang Lu's rebellion, as long as the adult writes a letter, he can make Zhang Lu surrender obediently.

Instead of wasting troops to fight Hanzhong, it is better to appease Zhang Lu for his own use. At present, as long as Zhang Lu is not allowed to occupy Yizhou, he will not become a climate, let alone pose a threat to us.

Yuan Shao followed Feng Ji's suggestion and wrote to Yuan Xi, Xin Bi and others, asking them to immediately send someone to appease Zhang Lu and force Zhang Lu to withdraw to Hanzhong.

Yuan Shao also wrote to Liu Biao and asked him to deal with Zhao Wei's affairs. In the near future, for the safety of Jingzhou, it is better to let Zhao Wei and Liu Zhang continue to fight.

In mid-February, Liu Bei, who was stationed in Yingchuan, suddenly wrote to Yuan Shao that Liu Pan, the general of Jingzhou, had returned, and he brought back news that Cao Cao and Li Hong had secretly married and negotiated peace.

"Cao Agui, a despicable villain, is simply shameless to the extreme." Yuan Shao gritted his teeth in anger. Jump to
