Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 1 Danger lurks Section 9
Chapter 1 Danger lurks in Section 9 Capture the general Gongsun Zan was ordered by the hussar general to lead his army south to Jizhou and threaten Bohai County and Hejian State.
Gongsun Chan used this as an excuse to forcibly recruit war horses from the Karasuma people in the western and Liao dynasties. Karasuma Iron Cavalry did not dare to recruit him, and that year he was ordered to go to Western Xinjiang to quell the rebellion, but the Karasuma people defected halfway, which hurt him.
When the Karasuma people saw that there was no requisition order from the hussar general and a requisition warrant from Liu Yu, they immediately refused.
In Northern Xinjiang, what is your Gongsun Zhan? is just a border general, and his words have no weight. Yan Gang and Gongsun Yue, who were in charge of recruiting and deploying war horses, were furious, and immediately turned their faces with the leaders of Karasuma such as Qiu Liju and Su Fuyan, and the two sides fought.
Liaodong Karasuma originally hated Gongsun Zhan, but this time, on the contrary, they not only defeated Yan Gang and Gongsun Yue, but also killed the Liaodong Taishou who came forward to mediate.
Gongsun Chan did not report to Liu Yu about sending troops to the south, and when Liu Yu sent a letter to inquire, Gongsun Chan also ignored it.
Liu Yu cut off the food and salary of Gongsun Zhan's army in a fit of anger. Gongsun Zhan was not afraid at all, and threatened the county government with troops in the Bohai Sea and Hejian, and slaughtered the city if he didn't give food.
He successfully solved the food and salary of the army, but he was unable to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion in Liaodong. Liu Yu was so angry when he heard the news that his lungs were about to explode.
He immediately handed over the matter of appeasing the displaced people and the spring cultivation of Tuntian to Changshi Wei You, and he took Sima Sun Jin, the subordinate thief Cao Weidun, and three thousand iron horsemen, and rushed to Liaodong to appease him.
Liu Yu spoke sharply in his letter to Li Hong, criticizing him for contempt for the Son of Heaven, unintentional social discipline, lawlessness, and arrogance, and he was no longer the simple, kind, and loyal leopard of the past.
Liu Yu said, you are the secretary of the Han Kingdom, and you have received the emperor's favor, you know what to do, and I don't want to say it.
It will take me about three to five months to go to Liaodong to appease the Hu people, and I hope that by October, I will receive good news from you to stabilize the society.
In the dead of night, you should think about what you should do for the Han and the people of the world.
Think of those who died, Tian Jing, Fu Xie, and many blood-stained soldiers on the battlefield. Don't you feel ashamed compared to their loyalty and martyrs, and their unhesitating death for their country?
Li Hong held Liu Yu's letter, thinking of Liu Yu's resolute and thin face, and felt lost in his heart.
Am I really doing something wrong? Yuan Shao's lord Bo Chen Lin came to Longshan. After reading Yuan Shao's book and listening to Chen Lin's explanation, Liu Xiao, the princess of Changping, suddenly asked, "Lord Chen, who is the so-called 'contractor' you are making?" When the son is in Chang'an today, but Yuan Shao appointed himself a general of the chariot and cavalry, and wantonly gave the bureaucracy to the order of the system, I don't understand why? If the hussar general leads his army south to attack and kill Dong Zhuo, will you respect the son of today or set up another vassal king? If you continue to worship the Son of the day. So what is the explanation of what you call this 'undertaking' today? Chen Lin's face turned red and she opened her mouth.
The princess sighed,
"When today's son is my younger brother, he is only ten years old and doesn't understand anything, and it is Dong Zhuo, who is in charge of state affairs, who has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven. You sue the world with King Hongnong's 'edict of inheritance', I don't understand what your ultimate goal is. Although I urge the hussar general to go south to King Qin, I cannot agree with your approach. Truth be told, you've been lying to me. You simply want to set up another vassal king as the emperor after eliminating Dong Zhuo. Chen Lin broke out in a cold sweat.
The princess pointed to the mountain of papers on the desk and said, "See for yourself, the main reason why the northern Xinjiang provinces oppose sending troops is your 'edict'. They were worried that after Dong Zhuo was eliminated, there would be two emperors in the world, and the Han would be even more chaotic than now. Chen Lin knelt on the ground, and was about to explain, but the princess waved her hand to stop him: "The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, it is very safe, and Dong Zhuo has also withdrawn from Luoyang, so now it is not a question of whether the hussar general is willing to send troops to the king of Qin, but a question of who you respect as the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty." Don't explain it to me, you go to the Hussar General's Mansion to explain it to Master Li. He is now a general and a military officer, in charge of the Quartet expedition, as long as you convince him, the big thing can be decided. Chen Lin didn't dare to say any more, kowtowed and left.
The princess looked at Zhang Fan standing behind her, and tears suddenly welled up,
"My lord, I'm not wrong, I did what you taught, so that the general will send troops?" Zhang Fan hurriedly knelt on the ground and comforted with a smile: "Your Highness is extremely intelligent, and you don't miss a word. Your Highness, don't cry, this matter has taken a turn for the better, and the disaster of the Son of Heaven is about to pass. Now Yuan Shao can't support it anymore, and the fact that he sent Chen Lin here is a clear proof of this. If Long Xiang's general Xu Rong defeats Yuan Shu again, then Lord Zhu Jun's alliance is about to be formed. With General Long Xiang, Lord Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, plus the army of Sun Jian, Wu Qiu Yi and others, King Qin's move will be a success. The public director rolled down his cheeks from tears, shook his head in disappointment and said, "Why is the general reluctant to go south?" As long as he goes south, what can't be solved? Zhang Fan sighed: "Your Highness, you have to understand the general. Before we came, we seemed to have overlooked one point, and this was the main reason why Mr. Lu Zhi was unwilling to continue to assist His Highness in leaving Youzhou. The general was not only in charge of the conquest, but also commanded the military administration of the sixteen counties in northern Xinjiang, and when the Gyeonggi crisis was still under his control and tolerance, he first had to protect northern Xinjiang and save his own lives and the lives of millions of people in northern Xinjiang. As long as the northern frontier is there, his force is there, and in the future, he will lead 100,000 iron horsemen to the south, how many people in this world are his opponents? ”
"Today's Han Dynasty has long been terminally ill and exhausted after countless turmoil and smoke, and the general has not only been bruised after the expedition to the desert, but also lost the financial support of the imperial court for him. It's like a hungry toddler who can't breathe a drop of milk in the face of his dying mother, and his life is also in danger. Zhang Fan said bitterly,
"Your Highness, this is the current situation of my Han today. If we want to revive the community, we must not rely on King Qin, not on the elimination of **, not on the alliance between ministers, but on this young child to find a grain of water and a grain of rice to save himself, and then rely on this young child to save his mother. It's a difficult and painful journey, and it won't happen overnight. Your Highness, Mr. Lu Zhi left in tears because he couldn't see the slightest hope. The gentleman's heart is like ashes, and he has no interest in life, and he will grow old in the wilderness forever. ”
"Your Royal Highness was entrusted by the first emperor to undertake the heavy responsibility of saving the society, and you must not give up lightly." Zhang Fan kowtowed,
"The first emperor sent His Royal Highness to the vassal kingdom on his deathbed, and today it seems that it is indeed a wise move." The princess burst into tears and choked up hard: "I don't understand what the adults say. I don't understand......" Zhang Fan thought for a moment and continued: "Does Your Highness remember the dead victims on the banks of the Yellow River? Everyone was powerless to save themselves, so they all died. If the young boy I just mentioned dragged his mother with his weak body to find a chance to survive, in the end, both mother and son would die of exhaustion. The toddler had to go to find water and food first, and then come back to eat with the mother and child, so that the two of them could survive. When the toddler is old enough to speak, he can continue to find a way to survive with his mother. ”
"My Han Dynasty is withering today, the state and county are big, ** is rampant, the ant thieves are rioting, the Son of Heaven is not the Son of Heaven, the minister is not the minister, the state and county can raise troops at will, and the ant thieves wantonly poison the world. Everyone for their own interests to fight each other, sworn to fight to the death, has long lost the conscience of mutual rescue, and now the military disasters are continuous, and the chaos has appeared. The survival of the society no longer matters, and it is the reality of today that it can survive. Your Highness, please take a closer look, how similar today's Han is to the Han when Wang Mang rebelled two hundred years ago. ”
"The reason why the general is reluctant to go south is this, he has vaguely seen the consequences of going south to King Qin; The reason why Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an was also the reason, and he also saw the consequences of defending Luoyang. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought fiercely between Guan and Luo, allowing ant thieves to riot in Sifang Prefecture and County, and the community would be destroyed. However, Master Taifu, Master Zhu Jun, and even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were very confident, and they thought that Sheji could be saved by their own efforts. The warriors of our Han Dynasty believe that the people are the foundation, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. The scholars of our Han Dynasty believe that the monarch is the foundation, the society is secondary, and the people are light. This is the fundamental difference between our great Han scholars and warriors, and it is also the root cause of the great chaos. The different views on the Son of Heaven and Sheji directly led to the great chaos. The general values the people and the society rather than the Son of Heaven, and the Taifu and the scholars value the Son of Heaven and the society rather than the people, so no matter how hard the warriors and scholars try, this chaos is inevitable and cannot be stopped. ”
"Although the Han is in a desperate situation and cannot save himself, there is still hope for the Han, and the hope is in the northern Xinjiang and the general. This was the wisest choice in the life of the first emperor. As long as the northern frontier is strong, the general's strength increases, and the young boy I am talking about grows up and has strength, he can help his mother to find a way to survive, that is to say, the general can shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the society. The more the princess listened, the more frightened she became, and the more she wept.
"Since the chaos has appeared, why does my lord say that Lord Zhu Jun's act of King Qin will definitely succeed?"
"The young child is ignorant, he knows nothing, he may lose his direction when he is looking for water and food, he will forget his mother, so we must try to be diligent, use all our strength to serve the king, and the act of the king is like the call of the dying mother, so that the young child can know the direction of return, remember the existence of his mother, remember that he has a mother who is in urgent need of saving her life."
"King Qin doesn't need to win, as long as there is the banner of King Qin and the righteous men of King Qin, King Qin's move is considered a success."
"What is Your Highness doing in Northern Xinjiang? Save the Han Society. How to save? King Qin. ”
"What about after King Qin?" The princess asked, sobbing,
"When the Son of Heaven returns to Luoyang, will the Han Society be able to revive?"
"I don't know." Zhang Fan looked up to the sky and sighed,
"I don't know, it's the sorrow of our scholars. Could it be that the Son of Heaven returned to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo died, and the society could be revitalized? Whether it is to revitalize the community based on the monarch or to revitalize the community based on the people, history has given us a clear answer, why can't today's scholars still remember it? The princess didn't understand, but she knew that King Qin was an unattainable thing, and she knew that the Great Han Sheji was about to overthrow, so she was heartbroken and cried bitterly.
At the end of April, the hussar general summoned the main officials of the northern Xinjiang provinces to discuss the meeting in Longquan. Princess Changping, Zhao Qi, Wang Yi, Yang Qi, Wang Han, Xu Shao, Cui Jun, Li Wei, Zhu Mu, Zuo Yan, Liyi, Pang De, Chen Hao and other dozens of ministers were all present, and Liu He and Chen Lin were also invited to attend.
Sima Zhumu gave a detailed account of the current situation and expounded in great detail the main strategies of the Hussar General's Mansion to solve the current crisis.
The four-party checks and balances stabilized the situation in Gyeonggi, and then united with the soldiers and horses of the state and county to quickly quell the ant thief riots in various places, and strive to stabilize the society as quickly as possible.
Zhu Mu said that this policy was finally unanimously decided by the Hussar General and the Hussar General's Palace, and there was no room for change.
Yang Qi couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and accused Li Hong on the spot. Now Dong Zhuo is uneven, and when his strength is restored in the future, the power of the Son of Heaven and the benefits of Guanzhong will definitely poison the world.
At that time, it will not be the ant thieves who will be in trouble, but the society will be defeated. Wang Yi, Wang Han, Cui Jun, and Xing Hao followed closely behind, and they all scolded him.
Li Hong said that Dong Zhuo had retreated to Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven and the imperial court had also arrived in Chang'an safely, how could Dong Zhuo endanger the Han Dynasty?
Do you have to eat him alive to say that he is not a danger to society? Now that the ant thieves in Qingzhou are in trouble with Sifang Prefecture and County, the situation is becoming more and more sinister, which one can be killed to save the society and save tens of millions of Li people from fire and water, can't you tell the difference?
Yang Qi said angrily, if the general had not gone on an expedition last year, how could there be today's social danger? If the general is stationed outside the army, how dare the eunuch kill He Jin?
How did Dong Zhuo enter Beijing? How can states and counties raise troops? How can the victims of the disaster have no money to help? How could the displaced people in Qingzhou gather to riot?
The root cause is because the generals are greedy for fame and fame, and they are reckless in military force. You say we can't tell the difference, but can you?
Chen Hao, the Imperial Supervisor of Northern Xinjiang, was furious, jumped up and pointed at Yang Qi and scolded: "The Yellow Turban Army began to riot in the first year of Chuping, and it has been six years now, has their riot stopped?" Root? The root cause is that you don't have people in your hearts at all, and you treat them as ants and livestock, plundering and humiliating them at will, so there is the disaster of the overthrow of the community. The same is true of Lord Liu Yu, don't look at him in Youzhou to appease the homeless, in fact, how can there be the life or death of the people in his heart? If he has the people in his heart, why does he want us to abandon the northern frontier to attack Dong Zhuo? The people of Youzhou are people, but aren't the people of my northern Xinjiang people? Liu He was so angry that he glared at him and wanted to scold him, but Chen Hao turned the spearhead and began to attack Yuan Shao again.
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the traitors of my Han, no different from Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is just grabbing some money and killing some Confucian scholars in Gyeonggi, but what about you? You took 200,000 troops to fight Luoyang, do you have the Son of Heaven in your hearts, the Sheji, and the laws of the Han Dynasty? Without your rebellion, without your captivity, would the Qingzhou exiles riot? They are all homeless, why are there no riots among the homeless people in my northern Xinjiang? The root cause is you rebels, you shameless gate valves, you evil wolves who eat the flesh of the Han and drink the blood of the Han, without you, how could my Han be overthrown? Chen Lin was dumbfounded, and her eyes were about to pop out.
The big tent suddenly became a mess with Chen Hao's angry scolding. May of the first year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty (190 AD).
On May, Yongsan. Li Hong received Xu Rong's urgent report, and after seeing Yuan Shu's text and reply, he was overjoyed and immediately rode back to Xu Rong as fast as he could for 800 miles.
Li Hong ordered Xu Rong to agree to Yuan Shu's conditions, immediately discuss with Yuan Shu specific checks and balances and jointly send troops to counterinsurgency, and strive to form a counterinsurgency army with Yuan Shu to Xuzhou to quell the rebellion before the beginning of July.
Li Hong also said in the letter that it is estimated that it will be very difficult to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao, because the differences between the two sides on the issue of imperial unification are too great, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao to give up his right to inherit the system, so Li Hong asked Xu Rong and Yang Feng to discuss a way as soon as possible, taking advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Shao's endless struggle with the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and the shortage of food and grass, to take the initiative to attack and severely damage Yuan Shao, so as to kill him the best, so as not to leave endless disasters in the future.
Li Hongjian wrote to Li Wei, who had already returned to Hedong, and asked him to go to Luoyang immediately, and do everything he could to persuade Zhu Jun to use Zhu Jun's prestige to first settle the matter of tripartite checks and balances, so that it was possible to send troops to Xuzhou.
In addition, he organized manpower to go to Yuzhou and Jingzhou to buy grain, help the displaced people in Hedong, and help Zhu Jun stabilize Henan Yin.
Li Hongshu told Yan Liang to go to Luoyang with a thousand guards, and if Zhu Jun insisted on trying to break the checks and balances, he would be imprisoned.
Li Hong hurriedly wrote to Zhang Yan and ordered him to immediately send people to Montenegro to contact the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, and persuade Bai Huanyu and others to lead his troops down the mountain as much as possible.
Of course, it is a good thing to be willing to be cared for, and it doesn't matter if you are not willing to be cared for, they can go to Changshan, Zhongshan, Julu and Tuntian in the four counties of Zhao in Jizhou, as long as they do not cause trouble to the Han Dynasty, some things will be talked about in the future.
Li Hong said that if the army of Bai Huanyu and others crossed the Yellow River and joined up with Sima Ju, Xu He, and other Yellow Turban armies in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the Central Plains would inevitably be in chaos, and it would not be a matter of a day or two for this riot to be pacified.
Li Hong is anxious to write to Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu and we have shaken hands and made peace, you should immediately withdraw your troops back to Youzhou. Liu Yu has been worshiped as a prince by the Son of Heaven, and it is estimated that he will soon go to Chang'an to take up his post, so you have tried to have a good relationship with him recently, so as not to impeach you after he arrives in Chang'an in the future.
He's precious, not to mention that he's always been very good to you. Xu Rong told Gongsun Du about the Liaodong rebellion and was worried about the situation in his hometown.
Gongsun Du was shocked when he heard this, and said that my family is in Xuansu County, life and death are uncertain, and I want to go back. Xu Rong thought for a while and said, you have helped me a lot, I can't let you leave empty-handed.
In this way, I am anxious to play the Son of Heaven and recommend you as the Taishou of Liaodong. With my current status, Dong Zhuo will not disagree.
Gongsun Du was overjoyed and thanked him. Jump to
