Volume 1 Chapter 12 Eclipse Section 16
Under the first month, the latest news came from Jizhou, and Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai County, announced to the world the "edict" of King Hongnong and the abolished emperor Liu Wei. โฎ Yan Moxuan โฎ ad-free โฎ
Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, pleaded with the soldiers and horses of various prefectures and counties to attack Luoyang as soon as possible, eradicate the ** Yu, and protect Sheji. For this reason, Liu Wei, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, worshiped Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai County, as the general of the chariot and cavalry, participated in the affairs of Shangshu, took charge of state affairs, unified command of the army of Dong, controlled the soldiers and horses in various places, and authorized Yuan Shao to appoint officials at all levels in the imperial court and prefectures and counties instead of the Son of Heaven.
On the one hand, Yuan Shao quickly passed the "Edict of Undertaking the System" to various prefectures and counties, asking the officials of all prefectures and counties to participate in the righteous deeds and the Kuangzheng Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, they wantonly divided the officials of various prefectures and counties and agreed on the time of the alliance. (The so-called "inheritance system" is to serve the emperor's book and act as an agent for state affairs, which is equivalent to exercising the power of the Son of Heaven.) ๏ผ
The fact that the officials of the prefectures and counties in various prefectures and counties first raised troops with the Three Princes' Letters, and now they are also known as the righteous and obedient to the abolition of the Emperor's Edict and the Alliance, and the fact that they plotted rebellion can no longer be concealed.
Dong Zhuo originally wanted to put this matter off the rails, see the attitude of the hussar general, and then decide whether to convict all the rebel bureaucrats and soldiers as rebellion. The Amnesty at the beginning of the year was for this purpose. Once the major crime of treason is decided, there will be very little room for maneuver between the two sides. However, the officials of various prefectures and counties did not sell Dong Zhuo's account at all, not only continued to gather troops, but also advanced step by step, and even set up another imperial court. Dong Zhuo was completely forced to a dead end, he couldn't wait for the hussar general's statement, if the Son of Heaven did not give an order to condemn himself, he would be too weak, more unforeseen things might happen in Luoyang, and the prestige of today's son would be swept away and gone.
The Son of Heaven decreed that all the state and county bureaucrats and soldiers who raised troops to rebel were all rebellious against the Han Dynasty, and the nine clans were punished according to the law, and they would never be pardoned. Yuan Kui, the Taifu and Yuan Ji, the Taifu, were dismissed, and all the men and women of the Yuan Valve clan in Beijing were arrested and imprisoned. Former lieutenant Yuan Feng died of illness a few years ago and survived. All the relatives of the nine tribes who rebelled in the Gyeonggi area were arrested. Considering that most of Yuan Valve's relatives are powerful people in the court, if you follow the nine clans (nine clans, that is, the fourth clan of the father's clan, the third clan of the mother's clan, and the second clan of the wife's clan), it will involve too much of a face. Therefore, the Son of Heaven made another decree, saying that the four generations of Yuan Valve had people who were ranked as the third duke, and they had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
Lang Zhong ordered Li Ru to go to Age to announce the decree, King Hongnong intended to rebel, and the crime could not be punished, and he was given death. Li Ru put a dove wine on the table, looked at King Hongnong who was kneeling on the ground and crying, he couldn't bear it, and turned around and left. Tang Ji grabbed Li Ru's clothes and begged bitterly: "Your Majesty will not kill him, I will go to see Your Majesty......"
Li Ru knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "King Hongnong is not dead, how can Your Majesty stand up to the world?" Today, King Hongnong can rebel, and tomorrow there will be more vassal kings raising banners and rebelling. If you don't kill, you have to kill. โ
Tang Ji cried: "We live in Age and haven't been out for months, how can we rebel?" Your Majesty, he should know that someone is framing. Please, take me to Your Majesty. โ
Li Ru felt sad in his heart, sighed, and staggered out of Ah Ge.
King Hongnong grabbed Tang Ji's hand in despair, crying like a heartbreak, shouting, shouting: "Mom...... Mommy ......"
Shang Shu Zhou Yu was arrested.
Zhou Bi refused to admit that the "edict" was written by himself to induce King Hongnong, saying that Yuan Shao had forged it. Dong Zhuo was angry, ran to interrogate him in person, and gave him a few slaps on the face, "Zhongyuan, we are all from Xiliang, since the day I entered Beijing, I have trusted you and entrusted you with important tasks, but why did you do this?" Why did you betray me? He's just a kid, why can't you just let him go? โ
Zhou Bi scolded, scolded him for being a brute, and scolded him for being a butcher. Dong Zhuo laughed angrily, "I'm a brute, but if I want to kill King Hongnong, I will kill him with dignity, even if there is no reason, I will kill him with dignity, let him die clearly." But what about you? You read the Bible, and in the end you deceived a child and killed a child? Your conscience let the dog eat? โ
That night, Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, went to Xiangguo's mansion to intercede for Zhou Bi. Dong Zhuo now doesn't believe anyone except the soldiers who have followed him for many years. He said to Wu Qiong, "Deyu, in the past month, except for Zhou Yu, His Majesty went to Age during the Chinese New Year, and no one else has been there, who do you say sent this edict?" Yuan Shao faked? Yuan Shao dared to forge such an edict as a contractor? Are the state pastors of various states and counties blind? If even this kind of edict Yuan Shao dares to forge it, how else can he be? How does he trust the world? How did he command a large army to fight? โ
Wu Qiong didn't dare to say any more, and then talked to Dong Zhuo for a few words, saying that the rebels were a rabble, and with the strength of Lord Xiangguo, it was not devastating, and he won the battle, and then got up and said goodbye. Dong Zhuo was so happy to hear that he actually stood up to see him off. When he walked to the door, Wu Qiong suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and stabbed him with his hand. The distance between the two was too close, Dong Zhuo was caught off guard, and watched as the dagger was inserted into his chest. It was the two layers of armor that saved his life, no matter how strong Wu Qiong was, he couldn't burst out with the greatest strength in such a short distance. Dong Zhuo roared wildly, smashed a punch on Wu Qiong's arm, and then flew up and kicked Wu Qiong out of the room, "Grab me." โ
The guards were scattered, and they rushed up and pressed Wu Qiong to the ground.
"Why? Why are you killing me? We used to live and die together on the battlefield, we have been brothers for many years, why did you kill me? Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, waving his hands, and he roared hysterically, angry, painful, disappointed, confused, and fearful...... All kinds of emotions hit Dong Zhuo's mind like a storm at this moment, making him lose his mind and despair to the extreme.
"I hate to tear your five horses into pieces, and the car will be torn apart in the city." Wu Qiong spit out the blood in her mouth and scolded loudly, "I'm not your brother, you ruined Luoyang, you ruined Sheji, you are a traitor who killed my big man." โ
In the early hours of the morning, screams were heard in the city gate captain's mansion, and several of Wu Qiong's cronies and subordinates were severely tortured. A Sima was punished, but he recruited He Hao, Huangmen Shilang Xun You, Shangshu Zheng Tai and Shizhong Chongji. The assassination a few years ago was secretly planned by He Hao, Zhou Bi, Wu Qiong and others.
Dong Zhuo looked at He Hao, who was standing calmly in front of him, and his lungs exploded with anger, "You look down on me, you have always looked down on me." But I also look down on you, what were you doing when I was fighting bravely in the Western Frontier? What were you doing when I went around with my army? Who do you have to look down on me? โ
He Hao sneered: "You are not the only one who is fighting in the Western Xinjiang, but why do I look down on you?" Look at what you've done? Did you do the same? In addition to Xiao He and Cao Shen, who else has been Xiangguo? Your merits are comparable to Xiao He and Cao Shen? Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Li Hong, which one is not more outstanding than you? You brute, it's not bad to guard a frontier, and you are also worthy of governing the country? Will you? โ
He scoffed.
Dong Zhuo smiled coldly, "I can't govern the country, but I will die in the country, will you?" โ
He Hao and Xun You were imprisoned. Xun You was not afraid, eating and drinking, talking and laughing. He Hao's heart was like ashes, and he died of hunger strike. Before he died, Li Wei went to see him. He Hao smiled bitterly and said, when the son left Luoyang, he once said to me, I have to be forgiving and forgiving, I know what it means now, but I will not regret it until I die. He Hao was buried by Li Wei at the foot of Beibi Mountain, next to the tomb of the former Taifu Chen Fan.
At the end of the first month, Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong were beheaded according to the law. Xun You was saved from death because of Sikong Xun Shuang's extreme efforts. Soon, he and a group of felons were taken to Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo did not arrest Shangshu Zheng Tai and Shizhong Chongji. The servant is a kind of person, Dong Zhuo thinks of the feelings of the old master, and it is normal not to pursue it, but why did he let go of Shangshu Zheng Tai?
Since the imperial court decided to move the capital to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven issued an edict that Taiwei Huang Wan, Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Xun Shuang, Taichang Ma Riyan, Taifu Wang Yun (after the servant Yuan Ji was deposed, Henan Yin Wang Yun took over), Shang Shuling Ding Gong, Guanglu Doctor Cai Yong, Henan Yin Zhujun (after Wang Yun was appointed as the imperial servant, the right general Zhu Jun was transferred to Henan Yin), Jingzhao Yin Dong Min was responsible for moving the capital. Several old ministers were struggling to cope, procrastinating, and the move of the capital was very slow. At this time, the news of the assembly of the rebels was sent to Luoyang one after another, and Dong Zhuo was busy with military affairs and had no intention of asking. He only cares about two things now, one is money and food, and the other is the rebels.
The money and grain of the three counties of Guanzhong and the two counties of Guandong are simply not able to support a huge Beijing division and an army of more than 100,000 people, and the silk silk, gold, silver, and treasures are useless at most. Recently, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou led soldiers and horses to plunder, and they turned Hongnong and Henan Yin upside down, and snatched back every grain of grain from every household. And Dong Yue and Duan Xuan led a large army to raid the area of Sanfu, and the displaced people on the ground of Gyeonggi became a disaster.
Dong Zhuo ordered all places to be closed and opened, the Yellow River crossing was lifted, and all the displaced people were driven out of Gyeonggi as much as possible. For every one person on the ground in Gyeonggi, there will be one less crisis and one less consumption. Millions of displaced people braved the bitter cold, brought their families with their families, and fled to the surrounding states and counties one after another, driven by the soldiers. Because there is no fear of war and it is close to the counties of Gyeonggi, Hadong has become the area with the highest concentration of displaced people.
Li Wei stayed in the capital and didn't leave, mainly for this matter. Now Dong Zhuo's army took control of the Yellow River crossing, allowing the displaced people to enter the east of the river. There are too many displaced people, and Hedong can't bear it, and northern Xinjiang can't bear it. Dong Zhuo hid in the palace and did not come out, Li Wei was helpless, seeing that the crisis of the displaced people was getting more and more serious, he had to hurriedly return to Hedong to organize relief.
Shang Shutai.
Dong Zhuo convened some ministers and monks to discuss sending troops to fight against the rebels.
Shang Shuhuaxin explained the current military situation to the ministers.
At the moment, the rebel forces are massing mainly in four directions. To the northeast is the army of Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang. Yuan Shao had already led his army into Hanoi and garrisoned it in Huai County, Hanoi County (south of present-day Wuzhi County, Henan Province), while Wang Kuang was the fastest, and the advance had reached the area around Ha Duong, facing Zhang Yang's army. Jizhou Mu Hanfu garrisoned in Yecheng and showed no signs of entering Hanoi, and it is estimated that he was mainly responsible for providing grain and grass to the rebels.
Due east is the main force of the rebels, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi's army has been stationed in Suozao (now Yanjin County, Henan Province), Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe's army is on the way. Except for the Guangling soldiers who guarded Zhang Chao too much, the others were all Yanzhou soldiers. In addition, I heard that Cao Cao had sold his wealth to form a rebel army, and he also came day and night.
To the southeast, the army of Yuzhou Mu Kongling and Yingchuan Taishou Li Min had been stationed in Yangzhai (present-day Yuzhou City, Henan Province). Chen Guoxiang Xu Ling's army has not yet seen it.
Due south was the army of Yuan Shu, Zhang Shi and Wang Rui. Yuan Shu was now stationed in Luyang (present-day Lushan County, Henan Province), while Zhang Shi and Wang Rui had not moved. If Zhang Shi and Wang Rui send troops, they can rush to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu in the middle of next month.
We don't yet know if the Great Sima Liu Yu also participated in the rebellion. If he also sent troops, Sun Zhan, the white horse of Youzhou, could go south with at least 20,000 troops.
According to our estimates, the total strength of the rebels was about 200,000, and the main ones who supplied the rebels with grain and grass were Jizhou in the northeast and Jingzhou in the south.
The atmosphere in the Shangshu room was dull, the rebels were strong, and there was plenty of food and grass, so there was really no chance of winning the battle.
Dong Zhuo patted the case and asked with a smile: "Tell me, how to meet the enemy?" โ
Shangshu Zheng Tai said: "Politics lies in morality, not in the number of soldiers." โ
Dong Zhuo glanced at him and asked, "So, the army is useless?" โ
Zheng Tai smiled: "My lord misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I think the rebels have many disadvantages, and you don't need to send a large army to win without a fight." โ
"My lord has been fighting in Western Xinjiang for decades, after a hundred battles, he uses his soldiers like gods, and his soldiers are all brave and invincible. And Yuan Shao is just a bombastic minister's son. Zhang Miao is a loyal elder who does learning, Kong Ling can only talk highly, praise and disparage, these people are pampered and live a luxurious life, and they are not handsome at all. If they clash in battle, they will definitely not be the opponent of Lord Xiangguo. โ
Zheng Tai said a lot, what division is unknown, self-appointed official position, respect and humility disorderly, what has its own ghosts, and it can't be cohesive, anyway, it means that the rebels are numerous, and they can't be used, and in the end, Dong Zhuo will definitely be able to win. Dong Zhuo nodded again and again, especially very interested in the contradiction between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Yuan Tang had three sons, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Kui. Yuan Cheng died early, and Yuan Feng succeeded Yuan Shao to Yuan Cheng, and it stands to reason that Yuan Shao is the eldest son of the long house. Now that Yuan Feng's generation is dead, and Yuan Feng's eldest son Yuan Ji is also dead, should the head of the Yuan valve be Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu? Yuan Shao is the eldest son of the long house, but he is a concubine, and the head of the family should be Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is currently in Luyang, between Runan, Yingchuan and Nanyang, where Yuan Valve's power is the most powerful, and it is certain that he is supported and recognized by Yuan Valve's power. But Yuan Shao is now the self-appointed general of the Che Cavalry in charge of state affairs and the world, and contradictions naturally arise quickly.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the most powerful rebels, fought for power before the war, and the outcome of this battle can be imagined.
Dong Zhuo praised Zheng Tai vigorously, admired his talent very much, and immediately decided to worship him as a military member of the Xiangguo Mansion, specifically responsible for the counterinsurgency.
After the military discussion was over, Hu Zhen, the Zhonglang general who participated in the military meeting, complained about Dong Zhuo on the way back, saying that Zheng Tai might be a rebel and that it was too dangerous for him to take the post of joining the military. Dong Zhuo glanced at him and whispered, the last time he assassinated me, he had Zheng Tai's share. Hu Zhen was taken aback. Dong Zhuo continued, there are people everywhere in the capital who support the rebels and want to kill me, who can I trust? We don't have enough food and grass, we need to fight quickly, and if we win one or two battles, the situation will immediately change, and this will directly affect the speed of the hussar general's southward movement and his final choice. How can we do it quickly? Jung Tae is the key. Just let the rebels know our every move, and the battle will be won.
Surrounded by fifty black panther servants, Xu Rong, the general of Long Xiang, rushed into Luoyang City on horseback.
Dong Zhuo personally greeted him out of the house. Since Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, this is the first time he has gone out to greet the senior members of the DPRK and China.
Xu Rong and Dong Zhuo knew each other in the early years in Western Xinjiang, when Dong Zhuo was a general and Xu Rong was the governor of Liangzhou Prefecture, and the two followed Huangfu Song to quell the rebellion. Now Dong Zhuo is the Lord of Xiangguo, above 10,000 people under one person, and he is in a high position, while Xu Rong is General Long Xiang, who opened the mansion, and there are 20,000 elites in Northern Xinjiang under him, which is famous all over the world. What about Huangfu Song? At this time, he was in a cell in the North Temple Prison.
Xu Rong paid a big salute, Dong Zhuo hurriedly pulled him up, and the two walked into Xiangguo's Mansion side by side.
Just as Xu Rong was about to walk into the lobby, he suddenly saw Lu Bu. Lu Bu, who is a lieutenant general, actually knelt on the eaves outside the lobby in full view of everyone, facing the wall, and did not move.
Xu Rong stopped and looked at Dong Zhuo suspiciously. Dong Zhuo said angrily, this kid connived at his subordinates to kill innocents indiscriminately, which ruined my reputation, and I wanted to kill him. Let him kneel here first, and then punish him when I have time. Li Meng, Liu Jing and other lieutenants who were gathered around laughed gloatingly.
Xu Rong didn't say anything, and walked into the lobby with Dong Zhuo. The two chatted for a while and got down to business. Dong Zhuo meant that after Xu Rong arrived in Xingyang, he restrained Hu Zhen, who was already stationed there, and immediately launched an attack on the rebels stationed in Suojube, striving to win the battle first. Xu Rong immediately refused. Xu Rong said, I was ordered by the hussar general to go south to Luoyang, the main purpose is to defend the Beijing division and protect the Son of Heaven. Before leaving, the hussar general repeatedly instructed that he must not take the initiative to attack the rebels unless he was forced to do so.
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "If I invite the Son of Heaven to transfer you out of Northern Xinjiang and worship you as the general of Zhengdong and be responsible for countering the rebellion, you see ......"
"My lord, I am one of the nine generals in Northern Xinjiang, and I am only responsible for leading troops to fight." Xu Rong smiled slightly, "Now for adults, the important thing is not me, but the hussar general." I am a martial artist, a native of Northern Xinjiang, and I will go back after all. โ
Xu Rong had something to say, and after Dong Zhuo heard it, he smiled awkwardly, a little unhappy.
"But I can assure you that I will never let a rebel approach the Tiger Prison."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. The two immediately discussed the military situation and food and salary issues, and then Xu Rong got up and said goodbye, "If you don't have any orders, I will lead the army out of the customs." Before I go, I have a small request. โ
"Zilie, you say, I will definitely agree."
"I want to ask the adult for a favor, it's Lu Bu's business......"
Dong Zhuo's face sank, and he said hatefully: "Okay, you take him away, you are his old official, you ask him, what crime should he be guilty of?" โ
