Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Stirring Section 2 Every time there is a troubled time, there must be a proverbial weft, and it will play a more or less certain role.

Six years after Qin Shi Huang became emperor, Lu Sheng, who was sent to seek immortals and visit the Tao, brought back a proverb: Hu Ye, the deceased Qin.

Qin Shi Huang thought this

"Hu" was a Huns, so he asked the general Meng Tian to lead the army to attack the Huns in the north and built the Great Wall, but he forgot that he still had an unlucky child named Hu Hai.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled in Daze Township, and the two first stuffed a lot of cloth strips into the carp's stomach, with words: "Chen Shengwang", and then Wu Guang pretended to be a fox demon in the middle of the night and shouted in the grass.

"Da Chu Xing, Chen Shengwang", as a result, this sentence overthrew Da Qin. The ancestor of this dynasty was born in a slight cold, and it was really difficult to bluff people, so he concocted a mangdang mountain slash

The earth-shattering feat of "White Snake" has since shocked the world and laid a foundation for thousands of miles. Gaozu himself was not killed

"White Snake", no one knows, but Gao Zu himself believes that these mysterious things are true. Soon after the establishment of this dynasty, a proverb proclaimed its demise appeared,

"Those who represent the Han should be Tu Gaoye." This sentence comes from the "Spring and Autumn Sayings", who wrote this book and when it was circulated in the world is no longer available, this word has been spread in the time of Emperor Xiaowu.

The meaning of this proverb is that the vitality of this dynasty is exhausted, and a new dynasty will be put in its place. But this replacement

"When Tu Gao" is very puzzling. Is this a personal name or a hidden word? Who is

"When Tu Gao"? So some people struggled to guess. In his later years, Emperor Xiaowu took a boat to the north, drank and feasted with his ministers on the Fen River, and made a speech of "Autumn Wind".

After getting drunk, he said to the ministers that the Han has six or seven misfortunes, the country is about to die, and the descendants of the clan do not know who should be killed.

The misfortune of six or seven, according to the interpretation at the time, was that after forty-two generations of the imperial lineage, Tu Gao was the contemporary Han.

The ministers comforted Emperor Xiaowu, and this dynasty was ordered by the heavens, and the Zuo surpassed Zhou Yin, and the children and grandchildren will be endless.

Your Majesty, don't listen to such words of ruin. Emperor Xiaowu was very emotional, and said that since ancient times, I have not heard of the continuation of Guozuo for thousands of generations, and I only hope that the Han Sheji will not be lost in the hands of my father and son.

This proverbial remark frightened Emperor Xiaowu, and since then it has disappeared. Later, whether it was Wang Mang's establishment, Gongsun Shu's proclamation as emperor in Bashu, or Emperor Guangwu's Zhongxing, although they all repeatedly proved that they were with their words

"True destiny", but no one used this sentence

The proverb of "the one who represents the Han should be Tu Gaoye". However, after more than 300 years, this proverb finally spread again in Guanzhong, Central Plains and other places.

Many of the great Confucians and scholars of the modern scriptures and the art of the Wei Wei began to quote the scriptures and explain and speculate again.

One of the most widely said is this

"Tu Gao" refers to a surname, and this surname is

"Yuan". The ancestors of the Yuan family can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period Chen Guo's doctor Yuan Tao Tu, and Yuan Tao Tu happened to have one in his name

"Tu Gao" refers to the Gaomen family of the descendants of the Yuan family, that is, the Yuan family of Runan of the fourth and third dukes. Again, this explanation seemed a bit far-fetched, so someone moved out

"The Five Virtues Always Say".

"Five virtues always say" was pioneered by Zou Yan, a native of Qi in the late Warring States period. Zou Yan is a famous yin-yang master, who synthesized the research results of his predecessors on the five elements of yin and yang, and compiled this set of doctrines based on the "Shangshu Hongfan".

He believes that the basic elements of the world are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and that these five elements are mutually reinforcing, and that everything in the world is born from their complex relationship.

The same is true of the rise and fall of each dynasty, which is a kind of heavenly and human induction, and there is a law to follow, and this law is

"Five Virtues and Five Elements". Every dynasty has its own virtue, just as everyone has a genus. One Dirk and one De, so one dynasty replaces another.

The mutual restraint between the five virtues is reflected in the rise and succession of the dynasty, which is called

"The five elements win". But how is the virtue of each dynasty determined? It depends on what auspicious signs are sent from heaven.

For example, the earliest Yellow Emperor met a large earthworm more than ten zhang long and several meters thick, and the earthworm belonged to the soil, so the Yellow Emperor was a soil virtue.

During the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou once saw a very large fire meteor hovering over the palace for a week, turning into countless fire crows, so Zhou was naturally Huode.

Zou Yan, the five virtues, always said that it was originally to persuade the emperor to be thrifty, but after being played by this group of unlearned and unskilled people, it gradually deteriorated, and all kinds of strange things came out.

A good end of the five virtues doctrine was put into full unrecognizable, and later simply became the theoretical basis of fortune-telling feng shui, which will bring disaster to future generations.

King Qin Yingzheng believes in the five elements of yin and yang and the five virtues always say. When Qin Wengong was hunting, he hit a black dragon, black belongs to water, so Ying Zheng thought that Daqin was a water virtue, and the color of the five colors with water virtue was black, so the king of Qin ordered everyone to dye their clothes black, and the whole country was black and pressed.

In addition, Ying Zheng also deliberately renamed the Yellow River

"De Shui" to show off that he was ordered by heaven. Zhou is the virtue of fire, water can extinguish fire, and water overcomes fire, so the natural thing that replaced the Zhou Dynasty was the Great Qin State with water virtue.

Gaozu was born in a poor family, and he probably fought all year round, so he didn't know this

The influence of "Five Virtues Always Say" on Guozuo. After he overthrew the Great Qin State, he did something ridiculous and generous.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, even from this dynasty

"De" also inherited the Great Qin State

"Water Virtue", inside and outside the court, it is still a piece of black pressure. It is said that the Great Han overthrew the Great Qin, and the Great Qin was

"Water virtue", at least choose one that can overcome water

"Virtue" is fine, but Gao Zu was confused and still chose it

"Water Virtue", left a big joke. The meaning of water virtue

"Fortitude is profound, everything is determined by the law, and there is no benevolence and righteousness in carving", which is very unpopular. Beiping Hou Zhang Cang turned out to be the imperial history of the Great Qin Dynasty, proficient in the calendar, right

"Five virtues always say" is very researched. But he didn't dare to speak out, so he came up with an idea to fool Gaozu, saying that the tyrannical Qin was not a dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was the orthodoxy to inherit the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou is the virtue of fire, and of course the Han is the virtue of water. By the time of Emperor Xiaowen, this mistake could not be contained.

First of all, the famous Jia Yi wrote to Emperor Xiaowen, saying that according to the principle of the five elements, the earth and the water, and the Han should be the soil and the virtue, so as to defeat the Qin Dynasty of the water virtue.

And suggested that Emperor Xiaowen immediately change his morality and change the color of his clothes to yellow. Emperor Xiaowen ignored him and kicked him to Changsha.

Later, a Lu man named Gongsun Chen also discovered this mistake, so he gave Emperor Xiaowen a recital.

The prophecy says that according to the prophecy, a yellow dragon will appear in Chengji (now Jingning County, Gansu Province) in a few days, and the yellow color is paired with soil in the five elements, so the Han should pursue the virtue of earth.

Emperor Xiaowen asked Zhang Cang, who was the prime minister at the time, to deal with this matter, Zhang Cang was very annoyed when he saw it, didn't he want me to die?

Ignore it. A few days later, someone said that he had seen the Yellow Dragon in Chengji, and then flew again. This incident made Zhang Cang unlucky, and he went home, but Gongsun Chen was given the title of doctor and ordered to compile a calendar according to Tude.

(This kind of discovery of auspiciousness has no cost at all, and the benefits are high, so later generations have followed suit.) Today, when we open the history books, we can often see the sun and moon in a certain year, who sees a dragon in a certain year, and the special report auspicious Rui Yunyun, all of which are the heads of this Gongsun Chen.

Zhao Guoren Aragaki Ping was a famous yin-yang family. He saw that Gongsun Chen was gaining fame and fortune, and immediately ran to Chang'an to deceive Emperor Xiaowen in the name of discovering Xiangrui.

As a result, a few years later, the scam was exposed, and Emperor Xiaowen was devastated, and the matter of changing morality was immediately closed.

When it came to Emperor Xiaowu, Taishi ordered Sima Qian, Dazhong Doctor Gongsun Qing, and Hu Sui to write to the Son of Heaven, saying that they wanted to reorganize the calendar.

Emperor Xiaowu invited the imperial historian Erkuan and asked the four of them to discuss it. The four of them saw that the opportunity was good, and suggested Feng Tude.

Emperor Wu of Han felt that this suggestion was very reasonable, so he granted it. The system was reformed, and according to the new calendar "Taichu Calendar", this year was changed to the first year of Taichu.

At this time, something troublesome happened. Hongru Dong Zhongshu put forward a three-unification theory in the "Spring and Autumn Fanlu Three Generations of Restructuring Essays", he believed

"Shang is white, and it is ugly; Zhou is a red unity, Jianzi; When there is a new king, he will be the black ruler and Jianyin". This one

"Three unifications" and

There is a great contradiction between the "Five Virtues Always Say". Emperor Xiaowu was eloquent and strategic, took the color of the clothes in the Zhengshuo and the five virtues in the three unification theories, and appointed the Han Dynasty as Tude, wearing yellow clothes, and using

"Three unifications and five virtues", since then the matter of deducing the five virtues was handed over to the Confucian scholars, and the monks were driven out of the court. This should have ended the matter of Han Cheng Tude, however, when it came to Emperor Xiaocheng, the matter of Han Cheng made waves again.

This wave not only caused a shock at the time, but even had a great impact on the millennium of later generations, and its initiators were Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, father and son.

These two fathers and sons are relatives of the Han family, descendants of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, and one of the best Confucians in this dynasty, with countless writings.

But at the same time, these two people are also masters of the Wei Wei of this dynasty, and they discovered it through the Book of Changes

"Wude always said" There is a problem with the rotation of dynasties, and then I found it in Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Dew".

"The five elements are born together", so they came to a conclusion that the order of the dynasties that the five virtues have always said is incorrect, and it should be counted from Fuxi, not the Yellow Emperor, and the replacement of dynasties is not a relationship of mutual restraint, but a relationship of symbiosis.

The Liu father and son wrote a book called "Shijing" for this purpose, redesigning a more magnificent lineage table.

According to this table, Taihao (Fuxi) is of course the first place, Chengmude, then Emperor Yan Chenghuode, Yellow Emperor Chengtude, after all the calculations, the Han should be Chenghuode.

change

"Virtue" involves the decency of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and it took one hundred and two years to change from water virtue to soil virtue back then, so of course there is no need to be gullible this time

"Han Ying Huode" said, so no one paid attention to this matter. But after a while, it was favored by Wang Mang.

After Wang Mang established a new dynasty, he immediately couldn't wait to announce it, according to Liu Xin

According to the doctrine of "the five elements are born together", the Han family is a descendant of Yao and belongs to Huode, and he is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and belongs to Tude.

Fire gives birth to earth, so it is reasonable and legal for his new dynasty to succeed the Han Dynasty, and he specially sent a Confucian named Zhang Han to explain to the hundred officials.

originally

"Han Ying Huode" was only circulated among Confucian scholars, and after Wang Mang took this excuse to make a throne, this doctrine immediately became famous all over the world and everyone knew it.

At that time, the people of the world hated Wang Mang very much, and all those who Wang Mang opposed were resolutely supported, and everything that Wang Mang destroyed must be restored.

Wang Mang was killed with soil virtue

"Huode" was originally not recognized by the imperial court, but now Liu Xiu and other Zhongxing people have recognized that the Han Dynasty should inherit Huode, and no one mentions Tude.

After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, the capital was Luoyang. This of Luoyang

The word "Luo" is edged with the word water, which is unlucky against the fire virtue. So Emperor Guangwu ordered it to be removed

The word "water" was added

The word "Jia" was changed to Luoyang, next

"The suburbs are located in the south of the city, and they are beginning to be virtuous. The color is still red. "At this point,

"Han Ji Huode" was finally recognized by the emperor and the court, and the court was red.

"Five virtues have always said" Since the Guangwu Emperor Dynasty, it has evolved into two sets of algorithms: one is the Five Elements Winning Method calculated by Zou Yan from the Yellow Emperor, and the other is the Five Elements Mutual Birth Method developed by Liu Xin from Fuxi.

These two sets of five virtue systems are parallel and have been passed down to later generations. But

The "Five Elements Symbiosis" method came from behind and gradually evolved into the mainstream. According to

Deduction of the "Five Elements Symbiosis Method". Yuan Taotu is a descendant of Da Shun, Shun is Tude, and the Yuan family is Tude, fire gives birth to earth, which can just replace the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty.

In other words, the Yuan family should establish a dynasty to replace the Liu family's Han dynasty. According to this speculation, plus

With the addition of "Five Virtues Always Say", the Yuan family has definitely become the one who should inherit the mandate of heaven to replace the Great Han

"Painted high" people. By the time of the first month of this year, this rumor had spread very widely, and the state and county officials maintained an unusual silence as if they had not heard it.

At present, the Yuan family has two very large forces. One is Yuan Shao from Luoyang, and the other is Yuan Shu from Yangzhou.

Yuan Shao occupied Guanzhong, Guandong, and Nanyang in Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and his power was very large. Yuan Shu also occupied most of Yangzhou, and his subordinate general Sun Ce had already helped him occupy most of the four counties of Jiangdong, including Wu County, Huiji County, and Danyang County.

Now Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, only holds one Yuzhang County and half of Danyang County, and the situation is precarious.

However, if the strength of the Yuan brothers is compared with Li Hong, the general of Hebei, there is still a certain gap.

In the case that the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court are in Jinyang, the Yuan brothers want to stand on their own, but I am afraid that they are purely looking for death.

The rumors of the Yuan family will not be groundless, and the manipulator behind it is obviously Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has always refused to admit that he is the son of today, and he has always wanted to rebuild the imperial system, is his real purpose to be a Han dynasty?

If he is determined to become a Han man, then the officials of other states and counties will have to think carefully about their future.

Although Li Hong held the Son of Heaven hostage like Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, his strength far surpassed them.

Li Hong has been operating in northern Xinjiang for ten years, and Jizhou and Youzhou have also been stable for nearly four years under his governance, and his strength will become stronger and stronger with time.

If Yuan Shao is Han, he will become Hebei's preferred target, when Li Hong and Yuan Shao are inseparable, what choice should other states and counties make?

In the middle of the first month, the news of the death of the Son of Heaven reached Luoyang as quickly as possible. Yuan Shao did not immediately convene important subordinates in the palace to discuss countermeasures, but first passed several henchmen such as Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Geng Bao, Wang Qiu, Han Fan, and Liang Qi into the inner mansion.

Feng Ji looked very excited. He believes that Li Hong's intention to usurp the Han Dynasty and become self-reliant has been completely exposed. He first wantonly killed ministers in Jinyang, and then killed the Son of Heaven, and now whether it is in Hebei, or the officials of various prefectures and counties, they all hate Li Hong to the core.

All Li Hong needed now was to use a baby emperor who appeared out of nowhere to stabilize Hebei, and then find an appropriate time for this baby emperor to settle in him.

Hebei is already facing danger, and now is the best opportunity for adults to comply with the will of heaven and stand on behalf of Han.

"Now the strength of various states and counties is not Hebei's opponent, and if they want to survive, they must get the help of adults." Feng Ji smiled,

"As long as the adults are the emperor in Luoyang, these people will inevitably have to make a choice between Hebei and us. Li Hong killed the monarch, killed the minister, and committed a heinous crime, who would choose him? Yuan Shao did not respond positively, he praised Feng Ji a few words.

After conquering Kansai, you immediately spread the news that the Yuan clan was about to become Han in various places with the words of the Wei Wei and the Five Virtues, which was very prescient.

None of us thought that Li Hong would be so vicious and dare to defy the condemnation of the world to continuously eradicate dissidents and kill the Son of Heaven in just one year.

Now that the imperial rule of this dynasty is extinct, the remarks of the Yuan dynasty have long been known, but is the time really ripe?

Will Luoyang's civil and military officials agree with one voice? Will Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, and Tian Kai abandon the Han and support the Yuan dynasty instead?

Yuan Shao was worried that he would be self-defeating and betray his relatives, so that he would be defeated and lose all the hegemony he had just acquired.

After discussing it for a long time, several people decided to touch the situation in Luoyang first, but what can be done to make this matter seem to have nothing to do with Yuan Shao?

Geng Bao volunteered.

"My lord, I will write tomorrow to persuade you to ascend the throne and become emperor, and see how everyone reacts." The next day, Yuan Shao summoned the civil and military officials to the mansion to discuss matters.

The crusade against Li Hong resounded throughout the court, and the officials of Luoyang gritted their teeth, eager to swallow Li Hongsheng alive.

Killing the monarch, this crime alone can cut Li Hong with a thousand knives. Although Dong Zhuo and Li Dao were rebellious back then, they brought disaster to the country and the people and poisoned the living beings, but they offered the emperor like a treasure in the palace, who would dare to kill him?

More than a dozen officials, including Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Jubei, Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong, and Chen Lin, wrote a letter of rebellion overnight, listing Li Hong's ten major sins, and imploring Yuan Shao to immediately spread the word to the world, gather a large army, attack Hebei, and kill the rebels.

Feng Ji stood up,

"Now the key issue is not to attack Hebei, but to control the emperor. Li Hong killed the Son of Heaven and the emperor was cut off, even if we defeated Li Hong, what would we do in the future? Who will inherit the Han Dynasty? "The rebuilding of the imperial system needs to be resolved through consultation with the officials of various prefectures and counties, and it is obviously impractical to find a descendant of the royal family to inherit the imperial system of the Han Dynasty.

But in this way, time was delayed, and it was likely that the best opportunity to attack Hebei was missed. For Li Hong, Jizhou is his key point.

The capture of Jizhou basically destroyed more than half of Li Hong's strength. For example, today's son has just died, and the Jinyang court has suffered a series of massacres, and the people in Hebei are panicking, and Li Hong urgently needs time to stabilize the three states of Hebei, which is the best time to attack Hebei.

Once this opportunity is missed, and the war is delayed until after May, Hebei will not be able to fight. Frustrated with earnest words,

"My lord, now spread the word to the world, taking advantage of the indignation of various states and counties, quickly assemble a large army, and strive to enter Jizhou at the end of March and early April, then Jizhou can be down. Li Hong was in Guanzhong the year before last, and he fought in the desert last year, and if he loses Jizhou again this year, it will be difficult for him to have the strength to launch a counterattack in the short term. In this way, the adults can take the opportunity and multiply their strength, not only have enough time to rebuild the imperial system, but also use this battle to weaken the strength of Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, and lay the foundation for the future unification of the Central Plains. Feng Ji disagrees with Frustration's statement.

Spread the word to the world? In what name do we spread the word to the world? It's useless

"Undertaking the Edict", or is it the Son of Heaven that we have always refused to recognize?

The "Edict of Inheritance" has lost its past power after the state and county officials have divided one side, and no one listens to it anymore.

We have always refused to admit the Son of Heaven who was killed by Li Hong, and even repeatedly said that he was not from Emperor Xiaoling, and now we have suddenly changed our ways, saying that we want to avenge this Son of Heaven who has always refused to admit it, who will believe it?

It's not about slapping yourself in the mouth, it's about lying to yourself.

"We must immediately rebuild the imperial system and rebuild the imperial court, otherwise even if we rely on our strength, with Li Hong's perverse actions and his great threat to various states and counties, we will gather the soldiers and horses of various states and counties, but this army will definitely be scattered, unable to unify command, and unable to defeat Li Hong." Feng Ji retorted,

"In addition, does Lord Fu think that we will launch an attack on Hebei at the end of March, is this realistic? There are still two months to go before the end of March, and we have to negotiate with the prefectures and counties in various places, discuss with them the matter of sending troops, discuss the raising of money, food, and ordnance for more than 100,000 troops, discuss the strategy of attacking Hebei, and discuss many issues such as the reconstruction of the imperial system after the defeat of Jizhou. So many complicated things, can they be done in two months? From Luoyang to Linzi in Qingzhou, there are more than 1,500 miles, even if we rush non-stop, it will take more than ten days for us and Tian Kai to meet, at this speed, we can complete the alliance within two months, gather a large army and launch an attack? Tian Feng immediately stood up and refuted it.

Hebei is not only a threat to us, but also to all states and counties, today is the best opportunity for the alliance to attack, as long as the adults stand up and shout, all the states and counties will not miss this opportunity.

In the face of a common enemy, everyone's interests are identical. In this way, we can avoid contradictions and work together as much as possible.

If we want to rebuild the imperial system first, we will immediately fall into a fierce struggle for power and interests, and we will not only lose the opportunity to attack Hebei, but also lose the opportunity to strengthen our strength and expand our hegemony.

If the main alliance attacks and kills Li Hong and occupies Jizhou, he will first be able to establish a strong prestige and establish a prominent meritorious service.

In this way, in the process of rebuilding the imperial system, the adults will occupy a pivotal position, which will greatly promote and help the completion of the hegemony of the adults.

As for whether we can complete the alliance and attack in two months, it depends on our determination. As long as we are determined, the states and counties will naturally trust us and will complete the preparations for the attack as quickly and with the greatest efforts.

In addition, the large number of troops gathered in various parts of the Central Plains is a threat to Hebei, which may fall into greater chaos and even rebellion, which will be more conducive to our attack.

The two sides argued fiercely, and Xu You, Xun Chen, Yin Kui, Wang Xiu and others proposed a compromise plan, first passing on the county of Zhuzhou, meeting the alliance in Yanzhou Dingtao, and then Chen Bing Huanghe, while threatening Hebei, while discussing the rebuilding of the imperial unity.

At this time, Geng Bao shouted,

"The fortune of Chide is declining, the number of calendars will change, and adults should obey the will of heaven, respond to the people's wishes, and ascend the throne as the emperor." The hall was suddenly discolored.

Geng Bao unfolded the book and read it aloud with enthusiasm, which was nothing more than the fulfillment of the prophecy and the coexistence of the five elements.

But before he could finish reading, Tian Feng rushed forward and smashed the book that snatched him to the ground. Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong then rushed up, and they were beaten violently.

Frustrated, his eyes widened with rage, and he roared,

"Do you want to destroy the Yuan clan? Do you want us to die without a place to bury? Yuan Shao sat behind the desk, looking at Geng Bao, who was bleeding all over his face, and his heart was angry, but his vest was a little cold.

He had thought of resistance beforehand, but he didn't expect that almost all of his subordinates would stand up against it. In people's minds, the big man still hasn't collapsed.

Xu You, Xianpei, Chen Lin and others hurriedly dissuaded Yuan Shao. Although Li Hong was strong, killed the Son of Heaven and slaughtered the minister, he still did not dare to openly establish himself as the emperor, he still let the eldest princess sit in the court with a baby in his arms, he didn't even dare to kill the minister himself, but pretended to use the hand of the eldest princess, which shows the great resistance he encountered.

The strength of adults is not as good as Li Hong, and the hegemony has just started, once he becomes the emperor, he will immediately become the enemy of the world.

At this time, even if Liu Biao and Cao Cao did not turn against the adults, they would never help the adults deal with Li Hong.

It is too difficult for adults to fight Li Hong alone. What's even more terrifying is that if the prefectures and counties are persuaded by Li Hong, suddenly turn the spearhead and submit to the Jinyang court, and unite with Li Hong to attack Luoyang, the adults will not be able to support it.

Yuan Shao stood up abruptly, pointed at Geng Bao and scolded,

"These rumors were spread by people sent by Hebei, how can you believe it? Lock him up. Frustrated, Tian Feng and the others were still angry, chattering endlessly.

Recently, there have been more and more statements about the Yuan dynasty in Luoyang and various parts of the Central Plains, and the officials in Luoyang certainly know the hidden truth.

Yuan Shao put all the responsibility on Hebei and scolded Li Hong in the lobby. Then, he agreed to Fu Zhu's suggestion, spread the word to the world, and would ally Yanzhou Dingtao to crusade against Li Hong.

When discussing the rebuilding of the imperial system, the differences between the parties were very large, and the focus of the differences was what was the purpose of hegemony?

Whether it is to restore the unification of the world, revive the Han Dynasty, or maintain the situation of separation, okay

"Huan, the work of literature"? Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others believe that in the current situation, hegemony is the most important, and it is necessary to enhance and consolidate their own strength first

"Huan and Wenzhigong", maintain the Han Dynasty, and then work hard to conquer the world and realize the unification of the country.

Xu You, Xun Chen and others believed that in order to successfully rebuild the imperial system, it was necessary to take into account the interests of various states and counties, and to seal the land and build princes, otherwise this kind of melee situation would inevitably last for a long time, that is to say, the completion of hegemony itself is the ultimate goal.

Feng Ji, Xin Ping and others believe that it is necessary to face up to the fact that Han Zuo was severed, and now even if the imperial system is rebuilt, it is just a virtual thing.

Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the imperial court, there is no longer any prestige. In fact, everyone understands what they mean, no matter what the purpose of the hegemony is, in the end, the Han is gone, and it is inevitable that the overlord will stand on behalf of the Han.

Yuan Shao finally spoke, before the hegemony is achieved, we must respect the Son of Heaven, and don't talk about other things for the time being.

This sentence made Fu Zhu, Xu Yu and the others breathe a long sigh, what they wanted was Yuan Shao's promise.

If the hegemony is not successful, we must make every effort to make the country prosperous, and we must not usurp the Han and become self-reliant and become the target of the public. Otherwise, don't talk about hegemony, it's a question of whether you can save your life.

In early February, the eldest princess and the four ministers of the Shanggong carefully discussed the report of the Taishou Wangyi of Hedong, and decided to immediately send the later general Xu Rong to Hedong in a hurry, and together with Yang Feng and Yushi, the five battalions of troops Chen Bing Huanghe, threatened Guanzhong and Guanxi, and forced Yuan Shao to abandon his attempt to stand on his own.

Worship Jiang Wu as the general of Duliao and lead the Duliao camp. Worship Yan Rou as the general of the town army, and also lead the guard captain, acting as the guard captain, and lead the 20,000 southern troops stationed in Jinyang, ready to go south to support at any time.

Later, the general Xu Rong arrived in Hedong, and the news that the Northern Xinjiang Army had begun to assemble in Hedong shocked Luoyang. Yuan Shao immediately convened the officials to discuss the countermeasures.

When Xu Rong arrived in Hedong, he obviously meant to threaten Guanzhong. If Li Hong took the initiative to launch a counterinsurgency war and used it to divert the contradictions in Jinyang and unite the hearts of the people in Hebei, then his choice to attack Guanzhong was undoubtedly correct.

After careful deliberation, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others determined that Li Hong's real intention might be to use the attack on Guanzhong to contain Yuan Shao, prevent Yuan Shao from attacking Jizhou with all the prefectures and counties of the alliance, and rebuild the imperial system, forming an unfavorable situation of confrontation between the north and the south with him.

Yuan Shao suggested rebuilding the imperial system in the process of meeting the alliance, and using the power of various prefectures and counties to launch an attack on Jizhou as much as possible to reduce the pressure in the direction of Guanzhong.

But then, time is even more urgent. Rebuild the imperial system, who will be the emperor? Several people invariably fell in love with the seven-year-old grandson of Liu Pang, the king of Chen.

Let the child be the son of heaven seems to have become everyone's consensus. However, at this time, Chen Guoxiang Gao hurriedly reported that Liu Chong, the king of Chen, together with Shi Luojun, the governor of the palace, led 3,000 private soldiers to Yanzhou Chen.

"Quick, stop him immediately, this must be Cao Cao's idea." Frustrated said loudly,

"If Cao Cao is allowed to establish the imperial system first, the adults will lose the opportunity." Jump to
