Volume 1 The Immediate Spear Chapter 12 The Eclipse Turns Yellow Section 19
Li Hong suddenly laughed, "Brother Benchu has both civil and military skills, and is well-known at home, and over time, he is indeed capable of turning the tide." ∮ Yan Mo Xuan ∮No Ads ∮"
Having said that, Li Hong already understood the meaning of the trial. Speaking of which, the trial hopes that Li Hong will face up to reality, support Yuan Shao, join forces to attack Dong Zhuo, and quickly calm down the current crisis. In the future, the scholars assisted the new emperor to take charge of the court, while he led the army to guard the frontier, and everyone worked together to revitalize the community.
"If I openly support Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo will inevitably destroy Luoyang, so the only way to solve the crisis at the moment is to check and balance the three parties." Li Hong pointed to the map on the desk and said, "If the situation in the world is as you expected, and the checks and balances can no longer be maintained in three years, then how will the matter be resolved in three years?" ”
There was a hint of regret in the judge's eyes, and he said helplessly: "My lord still doesn't want to go south?" At this time, if the adults rush south and threaten Luoyang with 100,000 Tuntian soldiers in Hanoi, they will definitely be able to prevent Dong Zhuo from moving the capital and force Dong Zhuo away. ”
Li Hong shook his head and said very resolutely: "I will never do anything that I am not sure of." The safety of Luoyang is directly related to the survival of the community, and there is neither an "if" nor a "certain" in this matter. If Dong Zhuo burns Luoyang with a fire in anger, we will be the sinners of the Han Dynasty. ”
The judge nodded very understandingly and said: "Only a madman would do something to move the capital, and Dong Zhuo is just this madman." Adults are right to be so cautious. ”
As for what will happen in three years, adults actually already know how to do it, but there are still a few doubts in their hearts, so I will say it. One is the problem of the Son of Heaven. Since the adults are unwilling to support Yuan Shao, then they can only keep their promises to the first emperor and continue to support the current son, but in order to maintain checks and balances, the adults will extremely suppress the imperial power in the coming days, what do you say the attitude of the Son of Heaven will be towards the adults? In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, the adult and Dong Zhuo are the same people, the adult is self-respecting, arrogant, and does whatever he wants, he will never trust you again. The second is the problem of Luoyang. Once the checks and balances are destroyed, Luoyang becomes a piece of fat. Whoever can take the lead in occupying Luoyang will be able to take the lead in controlling the world. And you, my lord, I have just said that if you do not have the support of the scholars, you must not enter Luoyang, lest you fall into the abyss of conquest and bring about your own destruction. The third question is where is the northern Xinjiang going? Will we continue to do secession and take the initiative to revitalize the great cause?
"If the adults are loyal to the Han and have the ambition to turn the tide and revive the power of the Han, then the adults will do what they should do." The judge smiled, "Your Excellency has already created many miracles, why can't you continue to continue your own miracles?" Adults are very similar to Dong Zhuo in many places, but there is one biggest difference between adults and Dong Zhuo. And this is also your greatest strength, and that is your youth. Being young is hope, and as long as there is hope, adults should put in hard work, and hard work will be rewarded. ”
Li Hong bowed down to be taught.
"Brother Zhengnan just said that the Tuntian policy in Northern Xinjiang is still very flawed, can you teach me?"
"Dare to disobey." The judge smiled, "It's just that once this matter is said, there are too many things involved, and it will delay the rest of the adults." ”
"I won't sleep tonight." Li Hong smiled, "I listened attentively to Brother Zhengnan's teachings. ”
The next day, the trial and Chen Lin said goodbye and left, and Li Hong kept sending him ten miles away.
It was also on this day that Huangfu Li and Liang Yan braved the wind and snow to arrive at Xingyuan day and night.
Huangfu Song's letter is very long, but in his words, his loyalty to the Han Dynasty and his heart to serve the country are all revealed. Huangfu Song severely condemned the state and county troops, but he said helplessly, my Han Dynasty has been ruled by the emperor for more than a hundred years, and relatives and eunuchs take turns to control the authority, which has caused the imperial power to decline day by day, and finally caused today's disaster. Today's disaster is inevitable and will happen sooner or later. The Han Dynasty does not have a strong imperial power and cannot dominate the world, and there will inevitably be people who have the heart to steal the country. It's just that he never expected that the scholars of the Han Dynasty would suddenly betray Sheji when the country was in the most danger, is this the sorrow of the scholars or the sorrow of the Han?
Huang Fu Song said: My strength is weak, and whether I have military power in my hands or not, it will not help solve today's crisis. When floods occur, the solution is to unblock the channels and divert the raging floodwaters, rather than reinforcing the dikes and blocking them again and again. Give Dong Zhuo a way out, he will not burn with the Han Society, and at the same time, he can quickly ease the situation, so that everyone has enough time to calm down and jointly find the best way to solve the crisis.
Huang Fu Song believed that the best way to solve the crisis was to support the Son of Heaven and maximize the imperial power. The Son of Heaven is high, and the monarch is above the world, even if he is like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, he does not dare to disturb the world.
The Warrior Rebellion is different from the Ant Thief Rebellion. Today's scholars have heavy troops, according to the states and counties, once the imperial power completely declines, it is bound to evolve into a war for hegemony, then the world will not be in crisis, but fall apart. Therefore, Huangfu Song implored Li Hong to immediately abandon the northern frontier, do everything in his power to wave his army south, enter Luoyang, support the Son of Heaven, and quell the rebellion. Compared with the counties of Northern Xinjiang and the Han Dynasty, which is more important?
Huangfu Song said that in the past, eunuchs and relatives took turns to hold power, but because there was the power of scholars in the court, the power of the three parties could check and balance each other, so the society was unharmed. Today, Dong Zhuo also holds the authority, and the scholars are also in the court, but because of the lack of a strong corner, it is impossible to form checks and balances, and the result quickly causes a catastrophe. Huangfu Song said that as long as the hussar general went south to Luoyang and stood on three legs in the court, then Sheji could be guaranteed to be worry-free.
After Li Hong read the letter, he hurriedly summoned Zhu Mu, Tian Chou, Yu Peng, Yin Si, Yushi, Yang Feng, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and others to discuss.
"What do you mean, Lord Huangfu? Although the scholars raised troops to fight against Dong first, it is also true that Dong Zhuo then acted perversely and committed various crimes. At this time, how can we openly say that the scholars are a rebellion? Could it be that Lord Huangfu's favor is for me to obey the holy decree and unite Dong Zhuo to send troops to quell the rebellion? Yu Peng asked in surprise, "Don't want Northern Xinjiang?" ”
"Have you noticed, Lord Huangfu's words are the most important." Tian Chou said. "The decline of imperial power and the rebellion of the scholars will eventually turn into a war for hegemony. Now there are nineteen state and county officials who have raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, if our checks and balances are successful, what will these nineteen state and county officials do considering their future fate? Will it continue to huddle? This is obviously impossible. The Emperor Fu sees far, and although our checks and balances can temporarily maintain the stability of the Han Dynasty, they also plant the root cause of destroying the Han Dynasty. Once the states and counties fall into a scuffle, the Han will exist in name only, and the initiator will be the adult. ”
"One more word." Yin Si pointed to the book and said, "To quell the rebellion, Lord Huangfu means to quell the rebellion, not to send troops to suppress the rebellion. That is to say, after the adults were stationed in Luoyang, they first strengthened the imperial power, and then appeased the states and counties, so as to eliminate the scourge of this war. Although this method of Lord Huangfu seems to be relatively safe at present, the premise is that we must abandon the northern frontier. The so-called abandonment of northern Xinjiang is actually a temporary abandonment of control over the desert, the abandonment of northern Xinjiang's tuntian fields and millions of victims, and this price is indeed a little too great for us, and the struggles and conquests of the past few years have almost all come to naught. However, compared with the Han Sheji, Northern Xinjiang is indeed nothing. Those who achieve great things must abolish private enterprises and give up small profits to take care of big interests, which is also a helpless thing. ”
"Northern Xinjiang cannot give up." Yang Feng smashed his fist on the desk and shouted loudly, "Northern Xinjiang must not give up." ”
"If you don't give up, the world will be in chaos in the future, and Northern Xinjiang may not be able to keep it." Tian Chou whispered.
"The adults first resisted and refused to go south, and then they were unable to control the balance, which finally led to the collapse of the society." Yin Sixin looked at Li Hong with palpitations, and said cautiously, "My lord, this crime of destroying the country is all yours alone in the end." ”
Li Hong walked slowly around the brazier with his hands behind his back.
The checks and balances said by the trial are external, and the checks and balances that Huangfu Song said are internal. Although it is very difficult to control the balance of power from outside Luoyang, it is the least dangerous to northern Xinjiang, while in the court, although it is difficult to control the balance of power, the harm to northern Xinjiang is immeasurable. As for the consequences of the two checks and balances, it is obvious that Huangfu Song said more accurately, and the trial and matching will avoid the important and light, and he did not talk about the consequences of Dong Zhuo's weakness and the division of the scholars. The judge said that when the checks and balances were broken, the northern Xinjiang had already passed the crisis, and it could support the Son of Heaven to return to Luoyang and revitalize the Han community. The trial did not tell the truth. If, according to Huangfu Song, the scholars' struggle against Dong evolved into the scholars' struggle for hegemony, then Yuan Shao was the most likely to seize the world. Yuan Shao was strong, Dong Zhuo was weak, and at that time he either stayed in northern Xinjiang obediently, or competed with Yuan Shao for hegemony. In short, the Son of Heaven is dispensable, the imperial power is completely gone, the living beings are ruined, and the culprit of all this is himself.
Huangfu Song also concealed one thing. He led the army to the south, Luoyang was saved, the current crisis was solved, Dong Zhuo's authority was weakened, and the soldiers who raised troops against Dong were also disbanded, but the northern Xinjiang was in chaos. What were the consequences of the Great Rebellion in Northern Xinjiang? First of all, he must take responsibility, and secondly, he must lead his army north to quell the rebellion. In short, no matter what you do, the last unlucky ones are the people and soldiers of Northern Xinjiang.
Li Hong sneered, "They first calculated Dong Zhuo, and now they even calculate ...... me" Li Hong scolded hatefully.
If you want to suppress Dong Zhuo, you need at least 150,000 to 200,000 troops, that is, you can only give up the border counties in the northern frontier and requisition all the troops north of the Great Wall. Giving up small profits and big profits? I can't do it, I definitely can't do it. As the judge said, I am just a martial artist, I don't know how to govern the country, and I can't give up the northern frontier.
Lord Huangfu said that the Han Dynasty has today's disaster, not because of Dong Zhuo, nor because of scholars, but because of the decline of imperial power. The reason for the decline of imperial power was not caused by Dong Zhuo, nor by scholars, nor by the Yellow Turban Army, but by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty himself. How much do I have to make the Son of Heaven powerful in the world? I can't even solve the problem of eating and drinking for the people of Northern Xinjiang, can I still save the Han Sheji and support the Son of Heaven? I can do as much as I can, and I will not do what I am not capable of.
"Strive to ensure that the northern frontier is not lost." Li Hong said categorically.
To ensure that the northern frontier is not lost, it is necessary to maintain the balance of power among the three parties.
Sima Zhumu then proposed specific checks and balances. first supported Dong Zhuo's side and then suppressed it, first helped Dong Zhuo to threaten the scholars and divide the scholars, and then coerced Jizhou to immediately allocate money and grain on the condition of suppressing Dong Zhuo. Abandon the scholar side first and then protect it. first threatened to attack the scholars, and after getting the money and food from Jizhou, he turned to help the scholars force Dong Zhuo to withdraw from Luoyang. After the crisis is eased, the three parties will discuss the way out of Luoyang. At this time, it is dragging, unlimited dragging, until the checks and balances are broken.
"Once the checks and balances are broken, our first goal is to capture Luoyang." Zhu Mu said excitedly, "Luoyang is in the middle of the world, and it is in line with the whole situation of the world. As long as Luoyang is in hand, the recovery of Sheji is in sight. ”
In order to stabilize Dong Zhuo first, Li Hong ordered Yang Feng, the general of Yangwu, to rush to the east of the river and raise 10,000 Tuntian soldiers to cross the Yellow River south into Luoyang. Li Hong meant that Yang Feng asked Dong Zhuo to garrison the Beibi Mountains and the Yellow River as much as possible, so as to prevent Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang's army from attacking Luoyang. At the same time, Li Hong ordered the general of the Zhen army, Lu Yi, to lead an army of 20,000 to leave Jinyang and go to Huguan of Shangdang to threaten Jizhou.
The general Yu Shi of Zhichong and the general Yan Liang of Hulie also went south at the same time, and each led 5,000 Tuntian soldiers to occupy the three ferry ports of Pubanjin, Fenglingdu and Maojin. Li Hong said: Don't look at the small number of people, but look at how big the officers are leading the troops. The two generals are in Hedong, I want to see what Dong Zhuo still wants to mess around. At the same time, Li Hong hurriedly wrote to Yang Ming, the commander of Zhonglang, and ordered him to lead 3,000 iron cavalry south to the Great Wall fortress, and wandered in the territory of Fengyi County, threatening Chang'an.
Li Hong ordered Chen Hao, the superintendent of the imperial history, to immediately detain Cui Jun, the Taishou of Xihe, Wang Han, the Taishou of Hedong, and Yang Qi, the Taishou of Shangdang. Chen Hao asked, what crime? Li Hong said, there are no charges for any crimes, you invite them to Jinyang University Hall to teach, and let them not show their heads for the time being. For the time being, the affairs of the three government offices were in charge of their long history.
Li Hong ordered Ji Cao Peng and Zheng Yan to immediately go to Jizhou to visit Yuan Shao and Han Fu and ask them for money and food. If there is money for the war, why is there no money for relief in northern Xinjiang? Li Hong said, Yinchuan, you will see the opportunity after you arrive in Jizhou. Not only do you have to give me money and food to get it back, but you also have to settle the matter of the relocated people and the disaster victims. If these two things are not resolved, I will take the initiative to hit them. Zheng Yan bowed down to receive the order. Zheng Yan is a member of the Yangzhou Huiji, a Confucian recruited by Li Wei in Luoyang, in his twenties, very handsome and elegant, and his Luoyang dialect is very authentic, and he can hardly hear the accent of Yangzhou people.
Li Hong hurriedly wrote to Dong Zhuo and advised him not to loot in the Gyeonggi area anymore, and to stop in moderation. The matter of moving the capital should be postponed even more, because this matter is extremely costly, and it will do all kinds of harm to adults but not any benefit. In addition, what good will the adults do to the north of Xinjiang if they turn the people into displaced people and drive them to the east of the river? The displaced people in Hedong are in trouble, and I need to deploy troops to garrison various places, which will affect the deployment of troops. The time for spring plowing is also approaching, and the adults have driven the people away, who will go to farm? If you don't farm, where will the money and food come from?
After Li Hong arranged everything, he asked Zhu Mudao with a smile: "Gongding, when do you think I should go south?" ”
"Don't rush south, sir." Zhu Mu said with a smile, "Your Excellency's stay in the clouds shows that your adult's attitude towards this matter has not yet been finally clarified. This is quite a shock to them. I'll go to Jinyang first, and if things go beyond our expectations, it's not too late for you to go south. ”
February of the first year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty (190 AD).
On the end of February, Luoyang.
Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao presided over the relocation of the capital, and the two of them were perfunctory, and for more than half a month, they did not even collect all the carriages and people for the relocation. And the servant Wang Yun was resolute, he pulled Taichang Ma Riyan and Guanglu doctor Cai Yong, and instructed his protégés and disciples to pack all the classics of Yuntai, lest the books suffer.
On the fifth day of the second month of February, Dong Zhuo of Xiangguo used the excuse that there was a snow disaster in northern Xinjiang and the sky was a disaster, and the Son of Heaven was relieved of the duties of Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao. The Son of Heaven approved the edict, and then worshiped Guangluxun Zhao Qian as the captain and the servant Wang Yun as the situ.
When Emperor Fu Hong heard that his father had been imprisoned, he hurried back to the capital. He and Dong Zhuo have been in the western border for many years and have a very good relationship. Dong Zhuo was very happy to see him back, and immediately worshiped him as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang and commanded the southern army to garrison the palace. Huangfu Hong thanked Dong Zhuo, and then pleaded for his father. Dong Zhuo said, Jianshou, you and my friends for many years, I will not embarrass your father if you are reasonable. Dong Zhuo immediately wrote to the Son of Heaven and recommended Huangfu Song as the middle of the imperial history. The Son of Heaven approved the edict and ordered Huangfu Song to move to Chang'an with all the official documents of the Yushitai first.
Wang Yun interceded for Huang Wan and Yang Biao, saying that the relocation still needed the help of two old ministers. The two old ministers have a lot of influence in Jingshi, and if they take the initiative to relocate, it will greatly promote the speed of relocation. Dong Zhuo agreed, and asked the Son of Heaven to worship the two as doctors of Guanglu.
At this time, the Hedong Tuntian soldiers began to assemble, and the news that the three generals Yushi, Yang Feng, and Yan Liang were going south together also reached the Beijing Division. The Northern Xinjiang army was finally going south to Luoyang to defend Gyeonggi, which made the tension in Luoyang City suddenly ease, and the relocation was a mere formality.
After Dong Zhuo read the urgent letter of the hussar general Li Hong, he was very happy and immediately replied with a letter, urging him to go to Hedong as soon as possible to preside over the counterinsurgency.
In early February, Hanoi County ruled Huai Thanh.
Yuan Shaowen that the army of Northern Xinjiang was dispatched one after another, and hurriedly convened Peng's subordinates to discuss countermeasures.
Although King Hongnong's "Edict of Inheritance" gave Yuan Shao an excuse to command the coalition army, it was Yuan Kui's sacrifice of his own life in exchange. Yuan Kui's aim was to force the coalition forces to form an alliance as soon as possible under the banner of justice, so as to advance quickly to Luoyang, so that the hussar general could move south as soon as possible, but the development of events greatly exceeded the expectations of the scholars. The army of the hussar generals went south, but it was themselves who were pointed at it.
Yuan Shao hadn't spoken yet, Xu You said first. Xu You said that Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zhi, the Taishou of Nanyang, had changed their minds, and these two not only did not send troops, but they also did not give Yuan Shu food and grass. Yuan Shu was very angry and had already sent someone to ask for help from Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, and estimated that something would happen to the south.
At this time, someone came to report that Lu Zhi was coming.
"Quick, quick, let's go meet Mr. Lu." Yuan Shao was overjoyed and hurriedly ran outside the house.
