Volume 1 Chapter 12 Eclipse Section 12

In December, in Huaili City, Fufeng County, heavy snow was fluttering, and it was cold to the bone. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

After admonishing the doctor Gai Xun to announce the holy decree, he immediately told the left general Huangfu Song what happened in Luoyang in detail, and took out the secret letter given to him by Yuan Kui.

Dong Zhuo was brutal, and after receiving the victory of the general of the chariot and cavalry, he immediately launched a bloody massacre of the Confucian scholars in Beijing, which was far more severe than the two disasters of the party in the past. The Han Dynasty will be in chaos, the society is in danger, how to deal with it, as the minister of my Han Dynasty? Will Dong Zhuo be allowed to abuse power and bring disaster to the country, overthrow the society, or hold high the banner of righteousness to save the Han from the time of collapse?

Huangfu Song's expression was cold, and his hands holding the holy decree were trembling slightly. Yuan Kui's letter was placed on the desk, he didn't read it, and he didn't mean to open it.

Dong Zhuo has been in Luoyang for less than four months, what has he done? In order to seize power, he deposed the young emperor and killed the empress dowager, and then issued a decree despite the opposition of the ministers of the court, wantonly looted and killed, and increased taxes regardless of the lives of the people. What is particularly intolerable is that he ignored the system of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty and forcibly added the ancient scriptures as an official school and established a doctor of ancient scriptures, which triggered a huge dispute between ancient and modern texts. However, we all fell for Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's increase in ancient literature and scriptures is false, and it is true that he used the Confucian scholar to petition to eliminate dissidents, and his bloody massacre of the clan, ministers and Luoyang salient was all so that he could unscrupulously plague the Han Dynasty in the future. Isn't all this enough to make adults raise volunteers, eradicate ** people, and correct my big man? The general's family has been loyal and good for generations, and has made countless meritorious contributions to protect our Han Sheji, and has received the grace of the emperor. Today, the Han Dynasty has reached the critical point of life and death, how can you not stand up and fight the chaos in the world to protect the 400-year-old foundation of my Han Dynasty? With the prestige of an adult, as long as you ascend to the heights, the righteous people of the world will gather and respond. At that time, the adults will go down from the west, and the heroes of the Central Plains will go up from the east, pointing straight to the Kanto, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty will be just around the corner.

Changshi Liang Yan also persuaded that Dong Zhuo asked the adults to go to Jiuquan to prepare for the establishment of the Han'an Protectorate, which was actually to deprive you of your military power and remove your threat to Chang'an and Luoyang. If you don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unite with Master Taifu to eradicate Dong Zhuo, it will be you, my lord, who will die in the future. Could it be that after Dong Zhuo sits firmly in Luoyang, he will let you go? At that time, it was not only the Huangfu clan that died, but I am afraid that even the protégés and officials of the Huangfu family could not escape the scourge of extermination.

Emperor Fu Li complained that as early as when the first emperor recruited Dong Zhuo as the pastor of the state, I persuaded my father to take the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo, but the adults did not listen, causing the Han to suffer today's disaster. At that time, Dong Zhuo first resisted the order, and later refused to hand over the military power according to the army, and the two crimes were combined with death, but his father had to ask the first emperor to say that killing the ministers of the court without authorization violated the law, which was a serious crime of extermination. So how do you explain today's events? If my father didn't kill Dong Zhuo and caused the Han to be in danger of overthrowing, wouldn't it be a great crime to exterminate the clan?

Huangfu Song waited for them to say that they were tired and stopped talking, so he put down the holy decree that he had read countless times in his hand.

"General Che Rider...... Oh no, it's the hussar generals now. Huangfu Song said with appreciation, "His current exploits are directly after Huo Quai's illness in the Xiaowu Emperor's Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to be a hussar general." Today, the hussar general Lao Shi's expedition has laid down a large territory for our Han, but at the same time, it has also exhausted the last bit of strength of our Han. It's like a scarred warrior on the battlefield who kills his opponent with the last of his strength, but at the same time he dies of exhaustion. ”

"My Han Kingdom has come to this day, and it is no longer scarred, but dying, so now there is a talk of revitalization from the government and the opposition. But the battle of the hussar general has completely hollowed out the Great Han Kingdom, and a big tree in the sky that is on the verge of withering has been hollowed out, and as long as there is another hurricane, this big tree will be uprooted. Huangfu Song smiled lonely, pointed to Yuan Kui's secret letter on the case and said, "This hurricane has begun to converge, once the wind and clouds change color, Luoyang, the center of this hurricane, will be destroyed in an instant, Luoyang will die, and my Han will collapse." ”

"In July, the hussar general led his army south to threaten the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, which is the real cause of today's hurricane. Yes, the hussar general's heart is indeed for the safety of the northern frontier, for the expedition to the desert, and it can even be said that it is to save the big Han tree, which is about to die. But instead of watering the tree and caring for it carefully, he directly broke the trunk and removed all the rotten and smelly hearts, leaving only an empty shell. In all dynasties, how many important ministers of the country wantonly trampled on the imperial power and insulted the laws of the Han Dynasty like hussar generals? ”

"Does Dong Zhuo have such a felony? He has been an official for decades, guarding the western frontier, and finally because of the power struggle in the court, he has to disobey the holy decree and refuse to hand over the military power, can this kind of crime be compared with the hussar general? Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor, promulgated the edict, increased taxes, and added ancient scriptures as official learning, all of which were passed by the court and issued by the Son of Heaven and then implemented in the world, which were all within the law of the Han Dynasty. If Dong Zhuo is guilty and is a disaster to the country, then Taifu Yuan Kui and the ministers of the DPRK and China are also guilty and are also the ministers of the country. ”

"I don't say this to exonerate Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is guilty, he is an authentic martial artist, not a capable minister who governs the country, he should return to the western frontier to defend the border fortress, but Lord Taifu's approach is wrong. Whether to govern the country with Confucianism and virtue or to govern the country with Confucianism and virtue is not very important at present, and the most important thing at present is to maintain the balance of power between warriors and scholars, which is the most urgent thing to stabilize and revitalize the Han Dynasty. But now the possibility of this balance has turned into a cloud of smoke with the blood of Luoyang. After the study of ancient scriptures became an official school, the controversy between the two governing policies would inevitably lead to the division of scholars, and it would inevitably lead to more scholars paying for it, so the scholars in various prefectures and counties were cornered, and they had to rise up to fight. Now that this hurricane has formed, it will never dissipate. ”

"In fact, today's Han has temporarily got rid of internal strife and external worries, and today's Han has also temporarily eradicated the eunuchs and relatives, today's Han should be brave and strong warriors to resist the wind and rain on this withered tree, and should be fertilized and watered by knowledgeable scholars, and should not be again stormy and cut off the last trace of vitality of my Han."

"After the hussar general's expedition victory, the opportunity to force Dong Zhuo to give up his authority is ripe, and what is needed is the wisdom of the scholars. The strength of the scholars is to govern the country, not to use force, and to deal with the strengths of the warriors with their own shortcomings is purely the way to die. If you want to force Dong Zhuo back, you only need to use a leopard that is more ruthless and bloody than Dong Zhuo. Dealing with warriors with warriors is the way for scholars to win. ”

"The massacre in Luoyang was a defeat for the scholars and a victory for the warriors. The massacre in Luoyang was tantamount to telling Dong Zhuo and the leopard plainly that the scholars were going to use their swords against the warriors. I would like to ask you, if you are a hussar general, in the current situation, do you believe Dong Zhuo or Yuan Kui? If it were me, of course I would believe in Dong Zhuo and the war knife in my hand. The desert can be conquered by force, and of course it can also be suppressed. ”

"Dong Zhuo is a veteran minister who has been loyal to the Han for more than 30 years, and the leopard is a tiger ben who has fought for the Han for six years. Huangfu Song picked up the letter on the desk and gently threw it into the brazier, "The hurricane has risen, the storm has gathered, where the Han will go, it is no longer something I can decide, let alone my 20,000 troops, do you understand now?" ”

There was silence in the tent.

The soft and gorgeous silk book burned under the charcoal fire, and the green smoke slowly drifted up. Everyone's hearts are as heavy as lead, and the curling green smoke seems to be a beacon fire rising to the sky on the land of the Central Plains.

Gai Xun sighed miserably, "Brother Yizhen, what do you have to say to Master Taifu?" ”

Huangfu Song smiled bitterly. "The massacre in Luoyang shows that Lord Taifu has lost control of the situation, and the state and county army is about to become a fact, with Dong Zhuo's strength, he will definitely not succumb to the coercion of the state and county. Even if I raise troops, it will only cut off Dong Zhuo's back road, force Dong Zhuo to be fierce, and finally destroy Luoyang, destroy Gyeonggi, and destroy Dahan Sheji. Therefore, the top priority now is to urge the hussar general to go south as soon as possible to save the Han from falling. Balancing the warriors with the warriors is the way to victory. ”

"The cause of the dispute in Luoyang is the power struggle between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui, even if Dong Zhuo is gone, can Yuan Kui be in power alone? No, the differences in governing policies caused by the dispute between ancient and modern literature will make the power struggle in the court more bloody, and Luoyang is still surging with undercurrents and crises. Therefore, there should be checks and balances between warriors and scholars, between warriors and warriors, and between scholars and scholars. Only in this way can we restore stability. ”

"If the hussar general has the intention of usurping the Han and resolutely does not want to go south, or even adds fuel to the fire, this hurricane will immediately destroy Luoyang, and the Han Sheji will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will eventually become the leopard's bag. If he is willing to go south, Luoyang will immediately form a counterbalance, and the power of the hurricane will be greatly weakened as a result. Although my Han has been ravaged, he has retained his vitality after all, and there is still hope for revival. ”

Liang Yan said bitterly: "My lord, then your life ......"

"My emperor's family has been loyal and good for generations, and has been full of imperial favor, so it is natural that he should be loyal to the Han Dynasty. If I can exchange the death of one person for the last breath of vitality of the Han Dynasty, I can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors and ancestors, and worthy of the Han who gave birth to me and raised me. ”

In December, Yecheng, Jizhou, wrapped in silver makeup.

In the lobby of the post house where Yuan Shao temporarily lived, Yuan Shao sat in the center, surrounded by Liu Biao, Qiao Mao, Xu You, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, Chen Lin, Chun Yuqiong, etc.

Liu Biao has been here for two days, and the bag that Yuan Kui asked him to bring to Yuan Shao contained a document to discuss Dong Weiwen. According to the agreement, after Yuan Shao got this document, he should immediately pass it to various states and counties, and then the son of the former Taiwei Qiao Xuan, the Taishou Qiao Mao of Dongjun, raised the banner of asking for Dong and announced to the people of the world that he was asking for Dong Xuan, but this document has not been sent out yet.

Let Qiao Mao take the lead in raising the banner of Dong Da, which was decided by Yuan Kui after careful consideration. Since it was quite unpredictable to gather soldiers and horses from various prefectures and counties to coerce Luoyang, Yuan Kui did not plan to let his family members jump out first and provoke the fire, so as not to endanger the safety of himself and the Yuan forces living in Luoyang. If he is arrested by Dong Zhuo, the development of the matter will not be under his control. Yuan Kui had to ensure that he could always control the development of the situation, so he chose Qiaomao, who had a very close relationship with Yuan Valve.

At present, among the officials of various states and counties, if you talk about family history, in addition to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Qiaomao is the most prominent.

After the death of the former Taiwei Qiao Xuan in the first year of Zhongping (184 AD), the Qiao family moved back to the Liang State of Yuzhou. In order to escape the war, Qiao Yu, the head of the bridge family, moved to Yangzhou Wancheng with his clansmen, and from Ziqiao Mao to the Three Princes' Mansion. Qiao Xuan successively served as the Minister of Qi, Hanyang Taishou, General Duliao, and later Jiuqing until Taiwei, and had great influence and many protégés in the Han Dynasty. Qiao Xuan has a strong temperament, a humble and frugal corporal, and there has never been a big official among his children's relatives because of his relationship. When Qiao Xuan died, his family had no home and no funeral, and he was praised by the world. If the descendants of such a high-ranking family raise the banner of fighting against Dong, they will certainly be unanimously supported by the government and the opposition, and the letter of courting Dong Weiwen announced by him will also be recognized and trusted by scholars from all over the country, which will be of great benefit to raising troops to coerce Luoyang.

Secondly, Qiao Xuan had several fatal disasters, but they were all saved by Yuan Valve, and the Qiao family owed the Yuan family favors, and it was impossible not to agree. Qiao Xuanshao was the Gongcao of Suiyang County at the time, and he exposed Chen Xiangyangchang's corruption to Zhou Jing, the assassin of Yuzhou. Zhou Jing appreciated him very much, so he sent him to Chen (now Huaiyang) to investigate. Qiao Xuan to Chen, all the guests of Yangchang were captured, and the crime of Yangchang was investigated. The general Liang Ji had a close relationship with Yangchang, and after hearing the news, he hurriedly sent someone with a decree to save him. Zhou Jing was frightened and urgently ordered Qiao Xuan to return to Suiyang. Qiao Xuan was not afraid, took the holy decree in one hand, and killed Yang Chang in the other. Qiao Xuan was convicted for this. Yuan Tang, who was a lieutenant at the time, admired Qiao Xuan very much, rescued him, and recommended him as the left lieutenant of Luoyang. Later, Liang Yi's younger brother Henan Yin Liang did not suspect that in order to vent his personal anger, he framed Qiao Xuan and arrested him for violating the law. Yuan Tang came forward again to rescue Qiao Xuan and sent someone to send him back to his hometown. After the general Liang Yi was killed, Qiao Xuan began to rise steadily.

Qiao Mao was reluctant to be this early bird at first. If this thing succeeds, Dong Zhuo loses his authority, and of course he is the first to take the lead, but if he fails, he will be finished. Yuan Kui later promised him that if it was successful, he would ask the Son of Heaven to worship him as the third duke. Qiao Mao immediately decided to take on the important task of revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

The reason why the text was not sent out was because the last sentence on the text made Yuan Shao and others at a loss.

The last sentence was temporarily added by Yuan Kui, which means that when today's son is supported by Dong Zhuo, after the eradication of ** Yu, he will depose today's son and help Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, to re-ascend the throne.

Why is that? At that time, everyone knew the reason for the deposition of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, and now that he said so, didn't he slap himself in the mouth? And the deposition of today's son will definitely anger the hussar general, isn't this forcing the hussar general to join forces with Dong Zhuo? What is the purpose of Lord Taifu's defeat?
