Chapter 5 is like a bamboo, and in the third section, Huangfu Song heard that Lu Zhi had passed away, and he was very sad. After a short rest, he went to the cemetery to pay respects, accompanied by the generals Li Hong and Zhang Wen.

Lu Zhi's cemetery is located in a beautiful place at the southern foot of Drum Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is very quiet.

Huangfu Song stood in front of the tomb, staring at the words on the tombstone for a long time, thinking of the big man who was in the wind and rain, and his heart was extremely sad.

In the past few years, one after another friends have left the chaotic world, they have not seen the revitalization of the Han Dynasty, nor the hope of the revitalization of the Han Dynasty, they have left this world with endless regrets and sorrows.

Today, Lu Zhi also left, leaving when Dahan needed him the most. Frustration, loss, pain, all kinds of emotions rushed into Huangfu Song's heart like a tide, invading his bone marrow, making him can't help but burst into tears.

"Before Zigan died, what words did he leave behind?"

"He kept calling his wife's name and calling the names of his two children......" Zhang Wen said in a low voice.

"A few years ago, when Zhang Niujiao led his army into Youzhou, his adults and two children died in the war. Zigan was in Luoyang at that time, and he had always felt guilty and blamed himself for this. Huangfu Song raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked softly, "Does he still have children?" ”

"There is also a young son named Lu Yu, who was raised by his sister-in-law." Li Hong said on the side,

"Last year, I took them to Jinyang. Now that they are all in Handan, do you want to meet them? Huangfu Song shook his hand,

"Forget it, forget it, it's even more sad to see. Zigan worked hard for the Han, and in the end he couldn't even save his wife and children, what kind of world is this......" After meeting the eldest princess, Huangfu Song explained his intention.

He and Zhu Jun were ordered to go out of the customs to pacify various places, and successively went to Luoyang, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, and met with the officials of various prefectures and counties.

At present, Zhu Jun went to Xuzhou, and he went north to Jizhou, and then planned to go to Youzhou.

"What do the state and county officials say? Are you willing to honor the current Son and the Imperial Court? Li Hong hurriedly asked.

"In the New Year, the only people who took the initiative to pay taxes to the imperial court were the generals, the generals of Zhennan, and the Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou." Huangfu Song smiled bitterly,

"After we arrived in Luoyang, Yuan Shao avoided it, saying that he went to Nanyang. There is no way, we can only get out of the tiger prison and continue to move eastward. When we arrived in Yanzhou, we did not see Cao Cao, and it is said that he was fighting Yuan Shu in the Peiguo area. ”

"Zhang Miao of Chenliu County told us that after the death of Liu Dai, the former Yanzhou pastor, Yuan Shao worshiped Cao Cao as the Yanzhou pastor with the order of 'inheriting the system', and later the Son of Heaven worshiped Jin Shang as the Yanzhou assassin, which made the officials of Yanzhou counties and counties at a loss. Zhang Miao believed that the appointment of the imperial court did not take into account the current situation in Yanzhou, and the counties and counties of Yanzhou could not accept Jin Shang, the assassin of Yanzhou. Recently, Cao Cao successively defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, led the Yanzhou army and civilians to successfully restrain the spread of the plague, drove away the misbehaving Yuan Shu, and also settled the Yanzhou homeless people in Tuntian, these achievements are enough to succeed Yanzhou pastor. Zhang Miao suggested that we immediately play the Son of Heaven and reappoint Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou. Huangfu Song carefully introduced the experience, and finally said: "If the prince is in trouble today, the imperial power is weak, and the court is subject to rebellion. In this case, it is okay to make the prefectures and counties respect the Son of Heaven, but it is difficult to obey the imperial court. "The situation in Yanzhou, Hebei is not very clear.

After Li Hong and the others listened to Huangfu Song's narration, they knew that Yuan Shu had been beaten by Cao Cao to Peiguo in Yuzhou at this moment.

"Lord Huangfu, you ran away in vain this time." Li Hong said,

"Honoring the Son of Heaven is not something to be said in words, but to be put into action. Liu Biao took the initiative to apologize and pay taxes, which is called respecting the Son of Heaven. People like Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao are all perfunctory, if they want to respect the Son of Heaven, why can't they take the initiative to apologize and pay taxes like Liu Biao? In my opinion, those who should be killed should still be killed, and no longer have any illusions. Huangfu Song looked at Li Hong and barely squeezed out a smile,

"The general has now pacified Jizhou, and he has money and food in his hands, and his tone of voice is really different."

The general's words are indeed reasonable, but the general must know that with Hebei's current strength, it is very difficult to go south to pacify the world. The great general not only needs time to accumulate strength, but also needs time to save the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. If the general ignored the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and led the army to cross the river south to quell the rebellion alone, the resistance would be very great. ”

"I'm here today to say something unkind, if the general doesn't have the backing of the Son of Heaven and goes south to fight, he will definitely be said to be a usurper. Think about it, if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can't beat you, how can Li Dao and Guo Yan hold Guanzhong? When they are faced with life and death, they will inevitably join forces to deal with you, and the most effective weapons to join forces against you are the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. If they change their ways, respect the Son of Heaven, obey the imperial court, and edict the world to crusade against your rebellion, what will happen to Hebei? Will the states and counties of Hebei betray you? Without a solid Hebei and a strong foundation, how long can you hold out? ”

"Why can Dong Zhuo stick to Guanzhong? Why can Li Dao and Guo Yan command the world? Not because they are powerful, but because they have held the Son of Heaven hostage and have a battle in their hands. ”

"Why didn't the general dare to fight Guanzhong? It's not that you don't have enough strength, but you see that the Son of Heaven is being held hostage by ** pigtails, and you are afraid in your heart. You are not only worried that the Son of Heaven will be killed by the Emperor, but also worried that the Emperor will tell the world in the name of the Son of Heaven that you are a traitor to the Han Dynasty, and put all the blame for the overthrow of the Han Dynasty on your head, making you the target of the public, making the northern Xinjiang collapse in an instant, and the collapse of the society. So you look ahead, you are afraid, you hesitate, why? It's not because the Son of Heaven and the court were held hostage by ** Braid. If the Son of Heaven and the imperial court were both in Hebei and were rescued by you, would you be in Guanzhong now, and would you be bold and desperate to kill the Yellow River? Huangfu Song looked at Li Hong solemnly and said word by word: "Today, Dong Zhuo is dead, Yuan Shao is stationed in Luoyang, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court are once again held hostage by ** drows, and the imperial power has been hit hard. The prestige of the imperial court has fallen to the extreme, Sheji has reached the verge of overthrowing, the situation in the world has completely changed, and the general's strategy to save Sheji must be changed, and major adjustments must be made. There was silence in the tent.

Li Hong's expression was solemn, and he lowered his head in contemplation. Too much had happened in the past year, and the ministers of the Chang'an court had their last ounce of strength in an attempt to save the Han and pull the Han out of the desperate situation of death, but they failed.

The Great Han struggled between life and death for a moment, and then fell faster towards the abyss of defeat.

Martial artists such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun did their best, and scholars such as Wang Yun and Huang Wan also tried their best. The dead were buried in mass graves and became history.

The living are still tasting the pain of defeat, they are reflecting in despair, they are persevering, they are vowing to die to give their last drop of blood for the holy place in their hearts.

It was with this purpose that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun went to the Kanto region and the Central Plains. They want to rescue the Son of Heaven and rescue the imperial court, even if Sheji collapses, as long as there is still the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, as long as there are loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty can be rebuilt, and the Sheji can be prosperous.

Li Hong raised his head, and what caught his eye was the mournful eyes of the eldest princess. The eldest princess's cherry lips trembled slightly, and her talking eyes had already told Li Hong everything in her heart.

She wants to beg the general, she wants to save the Son of Heaven. Li Hong's heart softened, and he whispered: "After fighting Youzhou, I'll go to Guanzhong." In the evening, the general Li Hong, the general Zhang Yan, Zhang Wen and many other old ministers, Xun You and Zhang Fan of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Li Wei and Sima Lang of the Great Sima Mansion, Zhu Mu and Tian Chou of the Great General's Mansion gathered in the big tent, and the king of Qin had a heated argument.

What happened in Youzhou made Huangfu Song more and more determined in his thoughts. Gongsun Chan is just a small general, he not only held Taifu hostage, but also shot Taifu, who gave him such courage?

Where have he gone for all his years of reading? He has been guarding the frontier for many years and is familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty, why does he dare to be so lawless?

In a word, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have become decorations, the prestige of the Han Dynasty has been swept away, and the states and counties in various places have their own troops, who else can this Han law restrict?

The righteousness taught in this book and the reality are fundamentally different things, and who still believes in loyalty? When Zhang Wen and other old ministers went to Jinyang to set up the imperial court, the main purpose of the revival was to reform and rejuvenate the country, but the reform involved the balance between the imperial power and the relative power, so the meaning at that time was to wait for the reform to mature, and then go west to King Qin, in order to eliminate the resistance to the implementation of the reform.

Now the situation has become too severe, and the state and county officials not only support their own troops, but also fight each other for their own power and territory.

At this moment, the society has collapsed, and the Han is quickly falling apart. One of the most important and intuitive reasons for this situation is that the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court has been lost, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have lost control of the world, and the laws of Gangchang have been completely lost.

Therefore, if you want to save Sheji, the most important and direct way is to King Qin, restore the prestige of the Han Emperor and the imperial court, and then pacify the world.

As for the restructuring and rejuvenation of the country, it is now insignificant, and the country is gone, so what system should be changed? In Huangfu Song's view, the only way to save Sheji is to be diligent immediately.

However, the outcome of the argument not only disappointed Huangfu Song, but also made the general Li Hong dumbfounded.

Except for Cui Lie, Ma Riyan and other individual ministers, the other Hebei officials almost spoke in unison, unanimously opposing King Qin.

Ministers such as Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, Chen Ji, Cai Yong, and Zhao Qi were very stubborn, and they firmly believed that the current situation had not deteriorated to the point of imminent defeat of the society.

Restructuring first, the king of logistics, is still the best way to save the community. When Emperor Guangwu was in the middle of the uprising, the situation was far worse than today, but because the Guangwu Emperor quickly reformed and strengthened after becoming emperor, he finally pacified the world in a very short period of time and revived the Han Dynasty.

Doesn't this living example, which happened more than a hundred years ago, show us the way?

"Now Hebei does have the strength to King Qin, but what about after King Qin? Will Hebei become the target of attacks by various states and counties? If Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao said that the general had held the Son of Heaven and the imperial court hostage, and used this as an excuse to attack Hebei, how long could Hebei hold on? Zhang Wen was in a hurry, and blurted out something that shocked everyone,

"Today's Son of Heaven and the imperial court have been repeatedly held hostage by ** pigtails, and there is no longer any prestige. Whether this imperial system is to be rebuilt, we also have to consider it. Zhang Wen immediately realized that he had lost his words. But Cai Yong immediately covered up Zhang Wen's words with excited shouts.

"The current restructuring is only limited to financial endowment and selection policies, and is far from touching on the key points. If the Son of Heaven arrives in Hebei, or we capture Chang'an, then how can the imperial power and the prime minister balance it? How is the official position revised? How to prevent harems, relatives and eunuchs from taking power? Have we figured out how to deal with these things? Do you want to see Wang Mang's disaster again? The scourge of the beams? Scourge of eunuchs? If these things are not resolved, can Dahan be able to prosper? Could it be that the Han can be revitalized with the Son of Heaven? Since the Han can be revitalized with the Son of Heaven, why did the Han come to the point of overturning today? Xun You, Zhang Fan, Zhu Mu and other officials resolutely supported the opinions of Zhang Wen and other old ministers.

They believed that as long as the Northern Xinjiang Army did not attack Guanzhong, the Son of Heaven would not be harmed. As long as the Son of Heaven and the imperial court are there, no matter how bold the officials of various states and counties are, they will not dare to openly usurp them, at most they will only claim to be kings and hegemons.

Li Wei and Tian Chou's statements are even more amazing. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others had ill intentions, not only to claim the throne and hegemony, but also to usurp the society.

Look at the people who have achieved the cause of kingship in history, what did they do later? Could it be that they would still give their hegemony to the Son of Heaven and wait for the Son of Heaven to destroy their nine clans?

With their current attitude towards the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, they are plotting rebellion, and they should not hesitate to kill them all.

The general Li Hong had no reason to oppose the decision made by the Hebei officials, and he could only declare that Hebei would not be the king of Qin for the time being.

Huangfu Song looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was miserable, and two lines of old tears slowly fell. Five years ago, when Taifu Yuan Kui planned to fight against Dong to save the country, Yuan Shao and a group of scholars betrayed the Son of Heaven and betrayed the Han Dynasty, pushing the Han to the abyss of defeat.

Today, when the eldest princess and the general begged the Hebei officials to enter the king of Qin, Zhang Wen and another group of scholars did not hesitate to betray the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty, pushing the crumbling Han to a desperate situation of collapse.

The Han Dynasty once washed the scholars with the blood of the two party disasters, and today, it is finally the turn of the scholars to wash the Han with blood.

The betrayal of the scholars exterminated the Han Dynasty. The next day, Huangfu Song made a special trip to visit Zheng Xuan, Zhang Zhen, Hu Zhao and other scholars.

The arrival of Zheng Xuan confirmed the absolute status of ancient literature and scriptures in official studies. However, due to Zheng Xuan's positive attitude towards modern scriptures, scholars who studied modern scriptures also reluctantly accepted Zheng Xuan's theory of scriptures.

Zheng Xuan's status in scripture is too superb, even the Confucianism and Confucianism in the world today, and He Xiu, a top-level figure, sigh to himself, let alone others, if he is not convinced, he has to be convinced.

Zheng Xuan made a living from ancient scriptures, and also adopted the strengths of modern scriptures, and formed his own unique set of scriptures and theories.

Although this set of scripture theories still needs to be popularized and studied for a long time, its impact on the Han and the Han scholars is very far-reaching.

With the efforts of Hebei officials, the official school quietly achieved the purpose of restructuring, and Huangfu Song was extremely amazed by this.

At the earliest, when Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and other ministers discussed the policy of restructuring and rejuvenating the country in Chang'an, they all thought that the most difficult and most resistant was the reform of the official school, but the result was very unexpected, and the first successful reform was the official school.

On the third day, Huangfu Song said goodbye to the eldest princess and went to Qingzhou alone, and he had to use his last strength to save the Han.

April of the fourth year of the first peace of the Great Han Kingdom (193 AD). At the beginning of April, the eldest princess heard that Li Hong insisted on going to Youzhou, and refused the persuasion of many Hebei officials, so she personally found Li Hong.

"The general is going to Youzhou, so I'll go too." Li Hong thought that the eldest princess was joking with him,

"Your Highness is going to go to the expedition? The minister is going to go, and the minister wants to protect the safety of His Highness. The eldest princess glared at him resentfully, and whispered, "I mean really. Li Hong looked at the beautiful face in front of him, those resolute eyes, and his head was a little dizzy.

"Your Highness, no one will agree. If the minister agrees, Lord Zhang and Lord Cai will eat the minister. ”

"Then you don't go." The eldest princess lowered her head, and two blush flew on her face,

"You always go to war, can't you take a break?" Li Hong glanced at the eldest princess attentively. Your Highness has grown up, and this is a pleasant thing to hear.

Li Hong said respectfully: "Your Highness, the minister is broken bones, and he also wants to help His Majesty to rejuvenate the Han, but the situation in front of him is not good, the minister ......"

"With me, do you want to say the same?" The eldest princess looked up at him and asked with a frown. Li Hong smiled awkwardly,

"Your Royal Highness, the minister can't help but go, Youzhou is related to the development of Hebei......" The eldest princess's eyes suddenly turned red.

Li Hong was startled and hurriedly closed his mouth.

"The general is going, and I'm going too." The eldest princess turned and left. Li Hong thought for a long time with a sad face, and then sent someone to invite Xun You over,

"Brother Gongda, the eldest princess just said to me that spring is coming, and she wants to go back to her hometown in Hejian Country to see, you see this matter......" Xun You knew that the general was in trouble when he heard it.

The eldest princess has admired the general since she was a child, and after arriving in northern Xinjiang, she relied on the general very much because of her young age and difficult state affairs.

More than three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the child has grown up, and this matter is a bit complicated. The general is both the courtier and the teacher of the eldest princess.

The two live in the same line, which is incompatible with etiquette. Although many ministers know the eldest princess's girlish thoughts, this matter is absolutely impossible, especially at this time, and there can be no gossip.

Once it is rumored that there is something wrong with the eldest princess and the great general, it will not only damage the reputation of the eldest princess and the great general, but also the great cause of Zhongxing.

The eldest princess has a quiet temperament, and Gendo's ministers say that she resembles her mother. But sometimes she is very stubborn, much like the first emperor.

What the eldest princess decided, the advice of the ministers was useless, otherwise, the eldest princess would not still live in the same line with the general.

Xun Yu pondered for a long time,

"The general went to Youzhou in the name of accompanying the eldest princess to patrol the county of Youzhou, so that the general could not only supervise the army, but also protect the safety of the eldest princess. As for the eldest princess going back to her hometown in Hejian, it was just a stop, and there was no need to bring it up, lest Lord Zhang and other adults speak out against it. ”

"This ......" Li Hong hesitated,

"It still seems a little inappropriate."

"I heard that one of the two adults of the Great General is from Youzhou and the other is from the desert, and they have not been home for many years. Why didn't the general take this opportunity to accompany his wife home to have a look? After all, the general's trip is to patrol the prefecture and county, not to lead the army to fight, and he can bring his family with him. ”

"Good idea......" Li Hong was overjoyed, jumped up, and strode out of the tent.

"General......" Xun You shouted strangely,

"General, I'm not done yet."

"Brother Gongda, thank you. When I come back from Youzhou, I will definitely roast the head sheep for you to eat. Li Hongfei rushed into his sleeping tent.

Xiaoyu was reclining on the couch and flipping through the scrolls. Feng Xue hugged Li Wei's baby and hummed Hu Qu softly in his ear.

The baby grinned, babbled, and gnawed on his white face. Li Hong rushed up, snatched the baby, and kissed him heavily on Fengxue's face,

"Xiaoxue, I'll accompany you back to talk about Moon Valley." Feng Xue was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Hong very suspiciously, and then reached out to take the baby from Li Hong's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't lie to me." You go to war, how can you take me with you? Xiaoyu put down the scroll and was about to ask, but saw Li Hong turn around, walk to the Hu couch in three or two steps, pick her up, and said excitedly,

"Xiaoyu, I'll accompany you back to Xu Wucheng and Lu Longsai." Xiaoyu was very embarrassed, and hurriedly turned around to look at the door of the military tent,

"Put it down, ...... in broad daylight"

"It's just our family here, what does it matter." Li Hong lowered his head and kissed Xiaoyu lightly on the face,

"We'll leave tomorrow."

"Really?" The wind and snow are surprised and delighted,

"You didn't lie to us?" Li Hong said with a smile,

"When did I lie to you? Oh, it's not good......" Suddenly his face changed, and he pointed to the little baby who was looking at him strangely with wide eyes and said,

"There's an outsider here." Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. Li Hong put Xiaoyu back on the couch, pulled Fengxue to sit beside him, and then blindfolded the baby with a big hand.

"When I kiss you again, I can't show him it, lest this boy learn badly." After speaking, the other big hand wrapped around Fengxue's thin waist, put his lips on Fengxue's blonde hair, and kissed him gently.

"Happy? It's been so long, I finally have time to accompany you through the desert and go back to have a look. I want to be handsome, I want to be an iron wolf, I want to see them. Feng Xue shuddered in her heart, buried her head deep in Li Hong's arms, and two tears fell quietly.

Li Hong told him about accompanying the eldest princess to the north. Xiaoyu snuggled up to Li Hong's side, reached out and stroked Li Hong's long hair, and whispered: "This time I have time, I can go to a few more places, shall we visit the family?" Li Hong shook his head, held Xiaoyu's hand, and said lightly: "After so many years, if they were still alive, there would have been news a long time ago." I have the two of you now, and there will be many babies soon, and I'm content. God has been kind to me, and although I have lost a lot, I have gained a lot at the same time, and I don't want to do it anymore. "The wind and snow struck him in his arms,

"Who says there are a lot of babies right away? Did you give birth? ”

"Haha......" Li Hong affectionately touched her blonde hair,

"Come on, this time we are together every day, I must let one of you give me a baby, haha......" In April, Youzhou.

Earlier this month, the general of the town army, Koji Yoshi, commanded a large army to launch an attack on the city of Liangxiang on the other side of the Seongsui River. In the past few months, Kojiyi's army has been well replenished with food, grass and ordnance, the morale of the soldiers is very high, and the siege battle is going very well.

Three days later, when Zhao Yun led the iron cavalry to return to the vicinity of Liangxiang City from the direction of Yangxiang in the lower reaches of the Shengshui River, Gongsun Zhan's defending army immediately abandoned the city and hastily withdrew to Guangyang City in Guangyang County.

Guangyang City is only thirty miles away from Jicheng, and if Guangyang City is captured, the Northern Xinjiang Army can attack Jicheng.

Early in the morning, Lu Yi, Zhao Yun and the generals rushed to the city of Guangyang to inspect the terrain and discuss the strategy of attack.

"This battle is not easy to fight, and if it is not fought well, Gongsun Chan will be beaten away." Koji Yi said to the generals,

"We can't attack too quickly, we have to wait until Lord Yan enters the pass before attacking Jicheng."

"When will Lord Yan enter the customs?" Wen Chou asked.

"I don't know exactly when." Koji said,

"However, Lou Lu, Lu Huanyang, and Ranran's Karasuma Iron Cavalry are very close to Juyong Pass, and they should have been assembled."

"Then why don't we fight quickly?" He Feng said loudly,

"It's late, and the credit is all for the Karasuma people to steal." Koji Yi glared at him,

"What are you anxious about? Gongsun Zhan's army has at least 60,000 or 70,000 people, and we will take 30,000 people to fight the city defended by 60,000 or 70,000 people, and look for death? Force him out of the city first, and then annihilate him on the outskirts of the field, but don't push him too hard and scare him away. He Feng smiled, raised the horsewhip in his hand flatteringly, and shouted loudly: "The general really uses soldiers like a god, and I am so impressed that I am so impressed." "Koji Yi couldn't cry or laugh,

"What kind of sycophants are you kidding? I tell you, don't be greedy for merit. The battle we should fight, we fight, the battle that the Karasuma people fight, the Karasuma people fight, you don't go to rob it. If you don't listen to the command, I'll peel you. At this time, there were 800 miles of fast riding, and Koji received a letter from the general.

Zhao Yun saw the smile on Ko Yi's face gradually fading, and hurriedly beat his horse to his side,

"Is there anything urgent about the general?"

"Your wife is here?"

"My lady is here?" Zhao Yun said with a smile,

"My lord, what are you kidding?" Ko Yi handed the letter to Zhao Yun,

"See for yourself." Then he pointed his whip at his generals one by one and said,

"The eldest princess and the general will be here soon, don't embarrass me, take Jicheng for me, and kill Gongsun Chan for me." Jump to
