Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 2 Like Facing the Abyss Section 3
Chapter 2: Like the Abyss, Section 3: Hussar General's Mansion. Li Hong summoned all the generals, Zhonglang generals, and the Funai to discuss in detail the strategy of attacking Luoyang.
The atmosphere of the deliberations was very cold, and Li Hong was speaking alone all the time. Li Hong ordered Lu Yi and Zhang Yan to immediately lead the army to Hedong to assemble, and ordered Li Wei to lead the affairs of the Hussar General's Mansion after he left Longshan, cooperate with and assist Taifu in handling state affairs, and ordered Yu Peng to take charge of Jinyang's affairs and supervise the army's grain and grass baggage.
The Northern Xinjiang army is now mainly concentrated in the north and south of Yinshan and the east of Hedong. In the north and south of Yinshan, there are Xian Yufu, the general of Anbei who protects the capital of Mobei, and Zhao Yun, the general of Duliao who travels in the clouds, and the two command 70,000 troops.
There are five generals in Hedong, including Xu Rong, Liyi, Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, and Yushi, who command 40,000 troops. Yan Liang is in Gyeonggi, and Yan Rou is in Shanggu.
Li Hong transferred all the nine generals of northern Xinjiang out of Jinyang, and his determination to delegate power and his thorough actions made it difficult for some of the generals of northern Xinjiang and his subordinates to accept it for a while.
Li Hong looked around at everyone's faces, and said with a smile: "Now that Lord Zhao Qi, Lord Zhang Baiqi and Lord Xie Ming are not discussing matters in the Hussar General's Mansion, are you adults a little unaccustomed to it?" The big tent was silent, and everyone had different postures, some lowered their heads, some looked at their hands, and some fiddled with the bamboo slips on the desk, and no one looked at Li Hong.
Li Hong smiled awkwardly,
"I am very grateful and understand your feelings at this time. The power of tuntian and salt and iron is related to the survival of northern Xinjiang, and it is indeed inappropriate to immediately return it to the imperial court. However, considering that our previous efforts not only failed to improve the situation, but pushed Sheji and Northern Xinjiang step by step into the abyss of overturning, I had to admit my incompetence, so I made a painful decision to simply hand it over to the end. The reason why I did not consult with you beforehand is simple: if you look at your own faces and think about your own anger and dissatisfaction, you will know why I did not consult with you. Everyone remained in their own posture and the expression on their faces did not change.
Li Hong smiled helplessly,
"Zilong, since your relationship with Wen Ji has been decided, then you should leave Jinyang as soon as possible and return to Yunzhong. The military and political affairs of northern Xinjiang were suddenly changed to the control of the imperial court, and the Hu tribes and the border counties outside the Sai may be very uneasy, and at this time, a large number of garrisons in the border areas are very important to stabilize the situation in the north and south of Yinshan, and they must not be careless. In addition, it is about to snow, you and Xian Yufu and Tian Yu must maintain close contact, once the desert and the border county have another snow disaster, you must immediately play the imperial court, quickly recruit Hetao Tuntian soldiers, and do your best to rescue the victims. Zhao Yun bowed down and agreed,
"I'll ask the eldest princess to leave Jin tomorrow." Li Wei said lukewarmly: "If there is a snow disaster outside the Saiwai this year, the imperial court is bound to give up the desert. Now that the general has neither the military and political affairs of Northern Xinjiang nor the capital of Tuntian and the benefits of salt and iron, how can he provide disaster relief? How to protect the desert? "One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Tang Yun couldn't hold back anymore and stood up excitedly,
"The Chang'an court has always advocated giving up northern Xinjiang, and among the officials of northern Xinjiang, Yang Qi, Wang Han and other ministers are also strongly advocating giving up northern Xinjiang. Now that the general has given up all the great powers of the military and political affairs in northern Xinjiang, Tuntian, salt and iron, one can imagine what the consequences will be. The general's previous strategy to save the society was to first check and balance the forces to protect the northern frontier, and then to Qin Wang, why did it suddenly change? The general did this, did he think about the top and bottom of the northern frontier? Yin Si, Zheng Yan, Guo Ce, Xu Ling, Lizhong and others followed closely behind, expressing their worries about the future situation.
Li Hong gave up power in a word, which was very easy, but the county mansions outside the Saiwai, the Tuntian prefectures, the Yantie Duwei Mansions, and some generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army would have different understandings of Li Hong's behavior.
First of all, the eldest princess and the Jinyang court are weak, and Li Hong has no reason to give up power at all. Can Li Hong's doing this be explained by the fact that Li Hong was unable to protect the northern Xinjiang because of the failure of the checks and balances, so he planned to change course and abandon the northern frontier?
There is also an explanation that Li Hong was coerced by the eldest princess, Liu Yu, Zhang Wen and other old ministers and Jizhou, and had no choice but to let go of power?
Li Hong's decentralization of power can indeed let the people of the world know that Li Hong is loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, but the price is too great, and it is likely to be the entire northern Xinjiang.
Xu Ling said bitterly that the general did not do this to save Sheji, but purely for his own reputation.
For the sake of his own selfishness, the general would rather put the survival of the society at the expense of the northern Xinjiang, which is chilling.
The commanders of the northern Xinjiang army have been silent. No matter what Li Hong did, there was no military power involved at present, so Xu Rong, Lu Yi and others looked solemn and did not express any opinions.
The generals don't speak, and those lieutenant generals are of course even more difficult to speak. Xu Ling's words made the generals of Northern Xinjiang very unhappy.
Pang De wanted to speak and stopped, and Xu Rong immediately glanced at him. Pound immediately stood up and retorted, you are talking too much, and it is you who are for your own selfish interests.
The Hussar General's Mansion owes you a lot of money, and now that all this arrears have been transferred to the imperial court, are you worried that the imperial court will not pay it back?
In my opinion, not only will the court not pay you back, but it may also have to implement a decree to raid your home. Xu Ling and Ko Zhong are actually most worried about this.
Xu Ling said angrily that the general did not keep his word when he spoke. When we supported you in resettle displaced people in northern Xinjiang, how did you promise us?
How was it promised to us? What now? Now you clapped your hands, left it alone, and left us here to die.
If I had known that the general would have rebelled, I would not have moved my family to Hedong. Li Wei hurriedly comforted Xu Ling a few words, and then shook his head and said: "The Tuntian and Yantie in Northern Xinjiang are very involved, and almost all the interests of Northern Xinjiang are involved, and it is too rash for the general to give up control of Tuntian and Yantie. Judging from the current situation in northern Xinjiang, the general's approach did not serve the purpose of enhancing the prestige of the eldest princess and the imperial court and gathering the strength of northern Xinjiang, Youzhou and Jizhou counties, but instead intensified the rejection of the eldest princess, the imperial court and Jizhou in northern Xinjiang, intensified the contradictions within northern Xinjiang, and the strength of all parties was greatly weakened instead of being integrated. As more and more accusations grew, Li Hong's face became more and more ugly.
We have been trying to achieve checks and balances for almost a year, but it turns out that we have failed, and we have no checks and balances.
Neither the social situation nor the northern Xinjiang crisis has been alleviated. The establishment of the Jinyang court is the only way for us to continue to save Sheji, and with the eldest princess and the Jinyang court, we can focus on the strength of various states and counties and work together to rejuvenate the country.
And it is precisely because of the strength and assistance of various prefectures and counties that northern Xinjiang can get out of the crisis. Now whether it is the eldest princess or the ministers in the Jinyang court, no one has said that they want to give up the northern frontier, what are you speculating about?
The imperial court has just been established, and what is needed is to work together from top to bottom, instead of being suspicious of each other and restraining each other.
Don't talk about this anymore, and do your own thing well. The community has been revitalized, everything is available, the community has been overturned, and the northern Xinjiang cannot exist alone.
After a period of time, everything in the DPRK and China will gradually get on the right track, the power of the court will be revealed, and your doubts will be gone.
Taifu Mansion. Taifu Liu Yu was very appreciative of the eldest princess's reluctance to move to Jinyang. Now that the country is in danger, the northern Xinjiang is poor, and the people are hungry and cold, where is the money to build a palace?
Of course, you have to save it. Whether or not the revitalization of Sheji does not depend on the luxurious palace, but on the concerted efforts of the ministers and the bloody battles of the soldiers.
If the Jinyang Imperial Court in the tent can save Sheji, it will not be a matter of leaving a name in history. The extreme lack of wealth was an urgent need to solve the Jinyang court.
To this end, Taifu Liu Yu summoned Ding Gong, Chen Ji, and Lu Zhi of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Han Fu and Cai Yong of the Imperial History Mansion, and Zhao Qi of the General Guard's Mansion to gather in the Taifu Mansion to discuss matters.
A group of old ministers sat together, recalling the past years in Luoyang, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. There is indeed much to be remembered about the years that have passed.
When everyone chatted, they were very happy and happy, but when they got down to business, they immediately talked and swords, and the previous harmonious atmosphere disappeared.
Jizhou has not paid taxes for two consecutive years. In the past two years, only some counties along the Yellow River in Jizhou have suffered a little disaster and war, which can basically be regarded as a bumper harvest.
Most of the displaced people in Jizhou were driven to northern Xinjiang and Youzhou, and the relief was very limited, although last year's hussar general expedition to Saiwai, this year's Dong Alliance attacked Luoyang, Jizhou provided a large amount of money and grain, but the money and grain provided by Jizhou was limited.
According to the estimates of Liu Yu, Yuan Peng and others, Jizhou should pay at least one billion dollars in taxes to the imperial court in the past two years.
Yuan Pan used to be a big Sinong and was very clear about this matter, so he proposed that Jizhou should immediately pay taxes to the Jinyang court, at least for one year, that is, 500 million yuan in taxes.
Han Fu's attitude surprised everyone, and he vetoed it. Han Fu said that Jizhou had no money, and all the taxes were used.
Liu Yu and Yuan Peng immediately refuted, and the two of them wrenched their fingers to settle accounts for him, and after calculating, deducting what Han Fu said, Jizhou still has at least six or seven billion financial surpluses.
Han Fu resolutely refused to admit that Jizhou had so much money, and said that the 300 million money allocated by the imperial court to Northern Xinjiang for relief had already been promised by the hussar general.
Yuan Peng was very angry, saying that you didn't give the relief allocated by the imperial court to Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou last year, and you didn't give it this year, so where did the taxes in Jizhou go?
Also, the hussar general promised not to want that money, because the hussar general was anxious to relocate the victims to Jizhou at that time, and he had to agree to you.
Now the hussar general has returned all the military and political affairs of northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, and now the imperial court is asking you for money, not only do you not give it, but use the hussar general as a shield, what do you mean?
When Yuan Kui asked Han Fu to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, Yuan Fu also strongly agreed, who knew that Han Fu, who now held great power, would ignore the Jinyang Imperial Court and ignore the authority of these old ministers.
Yuan Peng was angry and took the case. The other ministers were also very surprised by Han Fu's attitude, and they all made accusations, but only Lu Zhi sat quietly and was silent.
In the past, in Luoyang, Han Fu was just a scholar of Shangshutai, and compared with these old ministers at the level of three princes and nine secretaries here, there was a difference of 108,000 miles in terms of power and official rank.
The old ministers always thought that Han Fu would respect the eldest princess and the Jinyang court, and would obey his orders, but who knew that it would be such a result.
It was not Li Hong who hindered the revitalization of the great cause of social development, but Han Fu, who they trusted and assured the most. This made them unacceptable, and their faces were embarrassed, and their words gradually became snarky.
In the face of the coercion of these well-known state ministers, coupled with Yuan Fan's constant mention of Yuan Kui, Han Fu felt guilty and had to tell the truth, Jizhou Pastoral Mansion did not have so many taxes, and fifty percent of Jizhou's taxes were controlled by Yuan Shao.
Jizhou has nine counties, the largest being Bohai County. When Bohai County had the largest population, it used to reach more than 1.1 million, and its tax revenue has always accounted for about 20% of Jizhou's total taxes.
Since the Yellow Turban Army uprising in the first year of Zhongping (184 AD), the six counties of Zhongshan, Changshan, Julu, Zhao, Weijun and Ganling have been subjected to repeated battles because of their proximity to Taihang Mountain, and only the three counties of Bohai, Hejian and Anping have survived and have been safe and sound.
Therefore, in recent years, Jizhou's taxes have mainly been provided by the three eastern counties of Jizhou, Bohai. Taifu Yuan Kui was very aware of the importance of Jizhou to Dong Daye, in order to ensure that Dong Daye could be under the absolute control of Yuan Valve, he arranged for Han Fu to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, and also replaced the Taishou of the three counties of Bohai, Hejian and Anping, striving for Yuan Valve's greatest control of Jizhou.
After all, Jizhou's pastoral power is too great, and if something goes wrong with Han Fu, it will be difficult to succeed in courting Dong Daye.
However, he was still not at ease with such an arrangement. After Yuan Kui gave up his participation in Shangshu, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Yuan Shao to serve as the Taishou of Bohai County and Yuan Shu as the general of Bohai County, which was obviously a transaction between Yuan Kui and Dong Zhuo.
In order to seek Dong Chenggong and Yuan Valve's own safety, Yuan Kui finally decided to let Yuan Shao personally take charge of Bohai County in Jizhou.
In this way, Yuan Valve firmly controlled the three counties of Bohai, Hejian and Anping in Jizhou, and controlled the lifeblood of Jizhou.
After carefully explaining the reason, Han Fu said, I am nominally Jizhou Mu, but I actually only control the two counties of Wei County and Ganling.
The ministers of Hejian and Anping only listened to Yuan Shao's orders, and did not listen to me at all. The two counties of Zhongshan and Changshan were assigned to northern Xinjiang by the imperial court as early as last year.
Although the hussar general said that these two counties were under my control, but this autumn harvest, he transported all the grain handed over by the people back to northern Xinjiang, and I did not receive a grain of grain.
Liu Yu and the ministers looked at Han Fu with a dejected face, and no one dared to believe that this was true.
A dignified Jizhou pastor, who only controls a Wei County and a Ganling country, who would dare to believe it?
Han Fu pointed at Lu Zhi and said, "If you don't believe it, ask Lord Lu, when Lord Taifu was appointed as a Beijing official, Lord Lu is very clear. Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
How could Yuan Kui and himself have predicted that the great cause of Dong would evolve into today's act of bringing disaster to the country and the people?
"Lord Cui, Lord Chen, Lord Yuan, when you were buying grain all over Jizhou, didn't you hear rumors about this***?" Yuan Peng arched his hand apologetically at him,
"Hearing is hearing, who knew it would be so serious? Anyway, you are the pastor of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao is the Taishou of Bohai County, and what you say should always have a little weight. Han Fu couldn't cry or laugh,
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that Yuan Shao held the 'Edict of Undertaking Preparation', and used the general of the chariot to lead state affairs and command the world. From the aspect of the Dong Alliance, he is my superior, and I have to listen to his command. When I came to Jinyang this time, I first consulted Yuan Shao's meaning. If Yuan Shao doesn't agree, I really don't know what to do. I'm caught between the imperial court and the Dong Alliance, who do you want me to listen to? The ministers were speechless.
Yuan Shao has Yuan Kui's letter in his hand, and the matter of discussing Dong is also planned by Yuan Kui, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Yuan Peng and many other ministers.
"If you don't force me today, I won't say that I can't afford to lose this person." Han Fu was so ashamed that he shook his hand again and again,
"There are many county officials in Jizhou who say that I am not good, that I am mean, and that I like to scold people. Ladies and gentlemen, how can I not be mean in the face of smiling faces with false affection and false words, and in the face of threatening and insulting words? How can I not be angry? ”
"I have repeatedly told Master Ma that if this imperial court is to be built, it will be built in Jizhou, and the imperial court and the Dong Alliance will be combined into one. I am not for myself, nor for the military and political power of Jizhou, but for the great cause of saving the community. Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it carefully, the Jinyang Imperial Court is deliberately avoiding Yuan Shao and avoiding the Dong Alliance, so what will happen in the future? If the Jinyang Imperial Court does not sit down with Yuan Shao and have a good talk, and does not resolve all the differences between the imperial court and the Dong Alliance, how can it integrate the power of the prefectures and counties? ”
"For example, me, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Jiao He, Yuan Yi, Wang Kuang, Tao Qian, Kong Ling, who do you want us to listen to? If you listen to both, you can't do anything. If we listen to one and don't listen to the other, we offend people. The Jinyang Imperial Court is asking for Dong, and the Dong Alliance is also asking for Dong, what should we do? Liu Yu thought for a long time, then looked at several ministers and said, "Wenjie said well, we must consider this matter immediately and solve it as soon as possible." Now it seems that it is not Li Hong or Yuan Shao who hinders the great cause of revitalizing the society, but ourselves. We haven't done a good job of courting Dong, and if we mess up the matter of the Jinyang Dynasty, we will be the culprit of the defeat of the Han Dynasty. Although Han Fu complained with affection, Zhang Wen and Yuan Peng and others did not let him go and continued to pursue taxes.
Jizhou has not paid taxes for two years, as one of the three princes of the Jinyang court, you must always come up with something that can be seen and touched, otherwise who in the world can be convinced?
Han Fu thought for a moment. The hussar general has returned the military administration of Northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, so can the imperial court return the four counties of Jizhou to Jizhou?
Liu Yu did not hesitate and agreed. Han Fu asked: "Is the Diannong Governor's Mansion also assigned to Jizhou?" ”
"Jizhou Tuntian was originally a matter set by the imperial court, of course it belongs to you."
"Then should you allocate a part of the capital to Jizhou in Tuntian, Northern Xinjiang?" Liu Yu lowered his head in anger and didn't bother to talk to Han Fu.
Zhang Wen immediately put his face down,
"Lord Han, the funds for Tuntian in Northern Xinjiang are allocated by the imperial court to Tuntian in Northern Xinjiang, not to Tuntian in Jizhou. Northern Xinjiang is in the four counties of Jizhou, Tuntian, to help the victims, do you know how much money it spent? You are picking up a ready-made one now, not only are you not grateful, but you also ask the court for money, are you too much? Han Fu is unashamed,
"Lord Zhang, Jizhou wants to tuntian, to provide relief to the victims, and to provide four months of food and salary for the northern Xinjiang army to attack Luoyang, and at the same time to provide part of the food and salary to the troops in Yanqingxu and Hanoi and other prefectures and counties, where do you say I got the money to pay taxes? As I said, half of Jizhou's taxes are in Yuan Shao's hands, if I don't have enough money and food, I, a Shangguan, will have the cheekiness to ask him for it, why can't you understand me? Three days later, the deliberations between the imperial court and Jizhou were settled in the fierce debate between the two sides, and Han Fu returned with the military and political affairs of the four counties.
When Taifu Liu Yu and Zhang Wen saw the hussar general Li Hong, their faces were a little hot. At the beginning of the establishment of the Jinyang Imperial Court, Li Hong could say what he wanted, if it wasn't for the war that needed him, I am afraid he would have even handed over the military power.
But what about the imperial court? Not only did he not get a single money from Jizhou, but he also gave the four counties to Han Fu, who was in tears, I am really sorry to think about it, I am ashamed.
Li Hong came to say goodbye, he requisitioned six generals in northern Xinjiang, seven lieutenant generals, 25 lieutenants and lieutenants, and 55,000 troops attacked Luoyang from the north and south, and all the troops south of the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang went to the battlefield.
"The eldest princess and the guards of the imperial court rely on two thousand five hundred tiger soldiers. If there is anything unexpected, please transfer the Tuntian soldiers from Hedong to defend Jinyang in time. In addition, the large camp in the clouds has 5,000 iron cavalry of Zhao Yun, the general of Duliao, and adults can also be dispatched at any time. I will take Luoyang at all costs when I go south this time, so as to help the eldest princess and the imperial court return to Kyoto as soon as possible. Li Hong suddenly bowed and bowed, and respectfully bowed to Liu Yu and Zhang Wen.
"The northern frontier will be handed over to the two adults, please take care of the two adults." Liu Yu and Zhang Wen were excited in their hearts, and their eyes suddenly moistened.
The two of them helped Li Hong up one left and one right, not knowing what to say.
"Remember Luronse?" Liu Yu asked. Li Hong nodded,
"The adults kicked me and shouted at me, "Son, follow me and take back Luronse. This time, as I did, I followed the adults and swore to retake Luoyang. Liu Yu's nose was sour, his gray goatee shook violently, and he said for a long time: "Child, you are already a hussar general, charge into battle, and stop in moderation when you are the arrow, don't miss the national affairs." Li Hong was moved to worship Liu Yu again and turned away.
Zhang Wen chased out the big tent,
"Zimin, you also know a little bit about Dong Zhuo, remember not to push too hard. Push him to be anxious, if he sets fire to Luoyang, our losses will be too great. I have sent someone back to Chang'an, and I believe that Chang'an will do something to lure Dong Zhuo back to Guanzhong as soon as possible. Li Hong bowed down and was taught.
"People, take care, we'll see you in Luoyang."
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will welcome your adult into Beijing in Xiamen in the coming day." In mid-December, Luoyang, Xianyang Garden.
The edict of the eldest princess spread all over the world. Dong Zhuo was not angry but happy when he saw this edict, and immediately summoned the generals in Beijing to celebrate with wine in Xianyang Garden.
Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were very shocked when they heard the news.
"My lord, Liu Yu, Li Hong, Han Fu and others set up another court in Jinyang, announcing that they would crusade against your lord and attack King Qin of Chang'an, which is not a good thing. After Li Hong gets the support of Jizhou's money and grain, he will definitely be like a tiger with wings and his strength will increase greatly, and there will be a fierce battle in Gyeonggi soon. He analyzed Dong Zhuo and said that there is Li Hong in the north, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yang in the northeast, Zhu Jun and Yan Liang who garrisoned Hujiaoguan in the southeast, and Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Kong Ling in the south, and the enemy army is as many as 100,000 people, and Luoyang is surrounded on three sides, and the enemy is outnumbered.
Yang Yi suggested that Dong Zhuo temporarily avoid the edge, retreat into Guanzhong, and defend the danger. Dong Zhuo was calm, talking and laughing, and didn't care,
"Don't panic, in a few months, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and other stubborn children will definitely flee from the wind, but the leopard in the north is a little troublesome, haha......" Everyone looked at Dong Zhuo in fear and anxiety, and did not dare to say anything to persuade again.
"After the Luoyang War, Guanzhong has been worry-free since then, and the revitalization of the community is imminent, how can you not sing and celebrate with a carnival?" Dong Zhuo pointed at Yang Yi and said, "Write me a few letters, and after writing them, we will continue to drink happily and not get drunk." "Dong Zhuo's letter told Hedong to fold the jade of the general, the edict of the eldest princess has been read, please send it back to Tianyi immediately, you and I will meet and fight again.
Dong Zhuo wrote to the Tiger Prison Tiger Lie General Yan Liang. I will gather 50,000 troops to attack the Tiger Prison in 10 days, and I will have another showdown with General Tiger Head.
This time, the old man is bound to take off the tiger's head to pay tribute to my brother's spirit in the sky. Dong Zhuo urgently wrote to Chang'an, Liu Ai, Dong Min and other ministers that the Luoyang War was about to begin, and it was necessary to strengthen the vigilance against Chang'an.
The two generals of Duan Xuan and Niu Fu were ready to fight, and the two generals of Dong Yue and Li Su immediately withdrew to Guanzhong to aid Duan Xuan and Niu Fu.
In a hurry, Lu Bu and Hu Zhen continued to attack Yingchuan and Xingyang in order to contain the forces of Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, and Kong Ling.
Dong Zhuo said that in the near future, he will personally lead his army to attack south. Dong Zhuo also ordered Du Yang, who was detained in Heyin County, to write a letter to Han Hao, who was stationed in Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, to persuade Han Hao to surrender as soon as possible.
Du Yang is Han Hao's uncle. Du Yang said, I have written more than a dozen letters, but it is useless. Still want to write?
"Keep writing, every day." Dong Zhuo said with a smile,
"If he does surrender, I'll be in trouble." In mid-December, Luoyang, Tiger Prison Pass. After Yan Liang received Dong Zhuo's letter, without saying a word, he immediately ordered the army to abandon the Tiger Pass and retreat in the direction of Zhongmu.
Zhu Jun was furious and resolutely refused to give up the tiger prison.
"With the danger of the Tiger Prison and the strength of 10,000 troops, we can at least contain Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops, why should the general withdraw?" Yan Liang smiled rarely,
"Dong Zhuo is going to leave sooner or later, so why should we force each other? After arriving in Zhongmu, will the adults continue to go south to Yingchuan with us, or will they stay in Zhongmu City? When Zhu Jun heard Ying Chuan, he immediately understood Yan Liang's thoughts, he shook his head and sighed,
"I'm old and it's cold, so let's stay in Zhongmu." Yan Liang wrote a letter back to Dong Zhuo. Fatty, I'm leaving, see you in Chang'an.
