Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 1 Danger lurks Section 8

Chapter 1 is full of dangers, and in the eighth section, Yang Hong accompanies Gongsun Du to rest in the other courtyard. Yuan Shu, Li Ye and others carefully read the letter of the hussar general Li Hong.

In this letter, Li Hong elaborated on his views on the current Gyeonggi crisis, and proposed checks and balances and their benefits for temporarily stabilizing the society.

Li Hong said that if Brother Highway agrees to check and balance and is willing to work together to send troops to quell the rebellion, I will do my best to help Brother Highway eradicate the best brothers, take revenge, and realize the unfulfilled wish of Lord Taifu by fighting the chaos of the society.

Yuan Shu smiled at Li Ye and the others: "How is it?" The hussar general did not mention Luoyang in the book, and his intention was very obvious, he would not let us enter Luoyang to gather troops to attack Dong Zhuo. ”

"It's just that in this way, the situation is very unfavorable for us." Xun Zheng said,

"Although you can get the world's meritorious service for temporarily quelling the Gyeonggi crisis with checks and balances, and you can get the name of righteousness for sending troops to quell the rebellion and temporarily resolve the crisis of Sheji, but your lord and the prefectures and counties need to send troops to Yanqing and Xu to quell the rebellion. Counterinsurgency takes time and requires the consumption of a lot of money and troops, and Dong Zhuo and Li Hong can take this opportunity to get enough respite to recover. Once they heal their wounds, we ......"

"Li Hong's statement is right, you can't help but worry about it." Yuan Shu said,

"Due to Li Hong's obstruction, we are now powerless to attack Luoyang. If the ant thief rebellion in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou cannot be quelled in time, resulting in the disaster of spreading to the destruction of the country, then we will face an existential crisis. Everyone had to put more effort into quelling the rebellion, and then the results were terrible. We are scarred and our strength has been greatly damaged, not only is we powerless to attack Dong Zhuo, but we also have the possibility of being eradicated by Dong Zhuo. ”

"We have now agreed to Li Hong's counterbalancing strategy and taken the initiative to join forces with him to quell the rebellion, and the result will be very different. With the participation of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the counterinsurgency was naturally much faster and easier. We can also get what we want because of Li Hong's support, and Li Hong can also recover because of our help. After the end of the counterinsurgency, will Li Hong continue to share honor and disgrace with us to stabilize the society, or will he be embarrassed by Dong Zhuo for the first trouble? Obviously, Li Hong will choose the former. If Li Hong wants to join forces with Dong Zhuo, why bother to spend so much effort? Wouldn't it be okay for him to take Jizhou and Nanyang directly? Li Ye, Xun Zheng, Yan Xiang and others thought about it.

Although Li Hong's main purpose in doing this was to stabilize his northern Xinjiang, for all parties involved in the dispute, especially for the precarious social society, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

Yuan Shu and the others discussed for a long time, repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally made up their minds.

Yan Xiang then went to ask Gongsun Du to discuss the matter. Looking at the back of Yan Xiang leaving in a hurry, Li Yechang sighed: "Where do we put the Son of Heaven and the court in this way?" Yuan Shu sneered: "In these years, what is the Son of Heaven? Look at Dong Zhuo and Li Hong, two of the most powerful ministers of my Han Dynasty. Who takes the Son of Heaven and the court in his eyes? Dong Zhuo deposed the Son of Heaven at will and seized power, and Li Hong wantonly trampled on the imperial power and despised Tianwei. These two people can do whatever they want, do whatever they want, and they have long been lawless. The Son of Heaven is an ornament now, and the court is an empty shelf, and it will ...... in the future" Yuan Shu laughed a few times,

"Only by killing these two people in the future can my big man have any hope of reviving." Yuan Shu said to Gongsun Du, I will redraft the text.

Tell the world the counterbalance and counterinsurgency, so that he and the hussar generals can quickly join forces to quell the Gyeonggi crisis in the shortest possible time, fight the ant thief rebellion, and stabilize the society.

Then Yuan Shu smiled and said, Since I have agreed to the suggestion of the hussar general, can Lord Xu also withdraw from Yangzhai City and let Sun Jian return safely?

Gongsun Du said that after the hussar general and the general Long Xiang received the reply from the adult, of course Yang Zhai Cheng would return it to the adult, and Sun Jian would return to Luyang safe and sound, but should the adult also make some statements?

Yuan Shu nodded and said: "If you withdraw to the pass, I will withdraw the army, and then I will wait for the news of the hussar general in Nanyang." As long as the hussar general invites me, I will immediately send someone to Luoyang to discuss with you all kinds of specific strategies to counterbalance and quell the rebellion. ”

"What about the grain?" Gongsun Du asked,

"Can we buy grain at will in places like Yuzhou and Jingzhou?"

"Hussar generals can, but Dong Zhuo can't." Yuan Shu said,

"If you give the grain to Dong Zhuo, I will immediately block all the main roads. I will never let Dong Zhuo get a grain of grain. The next day, Gongsun Du took Yuan Shu's reply and left.

The imperial court appeased Taichang Ma Riyan, and the imperial history of the emperor Fu Song and Shang Shu Ling Ding Palace also arrived in Nanyang Wancheng at this moment.

Yuan Shu didn't go out of the city to pick it up, but ordered Li Ye to ask first, what are they doing here? If they were assigned by Dong Zhuo to negotiate peace, then they would be exempted and told to go back to Chang'an immediately.

If it is ordered by the Son of Heaven to give an order, I will take it. Huangfu Song said to Li Ye, you go and tell Lord Yuan that we are here to make an order by the Son of Heaven, and it has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo.

After entering the city, Yuan Shu knelt down to accept the order. Shang Shuling Ding Gong hadn't read a few sentences, Yuan Shu jumped up,

"Fussing? What kind of fussing? Am I a big man rebel? Am I an ant thief in the country? Where is this the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, this is clearly Dong Zhuo's edict. I don't accept that. Ma Riyan scolded angrily: "Yuan Shu, you dare to disobey the holy decree, do you still have the Son of Heaven in your eyes?" Yuan Shu sneered: "My Yuan family has been loyal for generations, loyal to the Son of Heaven, and loyal to the Han Dynasty, but I am not loyal to the ** pigtail and not loyal to Dong Zhuo." Today, the Son of Heaven is coerced by the ** pig, the government is controlled by the ** pigtail, and my Yuan family is even more tragically killed by the ** pig, how can I accept the holy decree of the ** pig and obey the mercy of this ** pigtail? Yuan Shu turned around and pointed at Yang Hong and said,

"Read it to a few adults." Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song and Ding Gong listened to the text prepared by Yuan Shu, and they were immediately surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, the hussar general was still one step faster, he not only succeeded in convincing Yuan Shu, but also trampled on the Han Emperor and the law to the end, and the Han was in danger.

Happily, the purpose of this trip was achieved, Yuan Shu not only stopped attacking Luoyang, but also went with Li Hong to conquer the ant thieves, and the Gyeonggi crisis was temporarily half resolved.

"I, Yuan Shu, swear by the sky today. I respect the son of today, and I am willing to break my bones for the Han Society. Yuan Shu pointed his fingers at the sky and said loudly and solemnly,

"After I have quelled the ant thief rebellion, I will join forces with the hussar general to attack the west, eradicate the ** pigtail, and welcome the Son of Heaven back to Beijing to govern." Yuan Shu resolutely refused to accept the decree of appeasement, but he accepted the decree of the Son of Heaven to be canonized.

He is now justifiably the future general and the leader of Nanyang Taishou, and he also became the Marquis of Yang Zhai, with 2,000 households.

Sun Jian received the holy decree of the general who was confined, and he also received it on behalf of Sun Jian. At this time, it was no longer important for Ma Riyan and the other three to be appeased, it was important to persuade him to accept the internal checks and balances proposed by Huangfu Song, so as to completely resolve the Gyeonggi crisis and let the Son of Heaven return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Revive the dynasty and save the Han Dynasty that was about to be overturned. The three of them are all Yuan Shu's elders, and they are also the world-famous Han ministers, and Yuan Shu can't ignore the suggestions they put forward, but he can't bear to be a minister in the same hall as Dong Zhuo.

This is not only because Dong Zhuo killed more than 50 lives of Yuan Kui and the Yuan family, but more importantly, it involves righteousness.

If you shake hands with Dong Zhuo and make peace, how will the three princes explain it? What is the explanation for Dong Weiwen? What is the explanation of the world-famous edict of undertaking?

How will Yuan Valve stand between the government and the opposition in the future?

"Dong Zhuo will not be punished, I will never return to the court." Yuan Shu said very resolutely,

"This. Thank you for your understanding. Now that the ant thieves in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou are raging, the society is in turmoil, and quelling the riot is far more important than eradicating the ** pigtail, so I don't want to fight Luoyang, I want to put aside the matter of asking Dong for the time being, and go to Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou with the hussar general to quell the rebellion. When the rebellion is settled, I will settle Dong Zhuo's matter with the hussar general. "Eat bite by bite, and do things one by one.

Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song and Ding Gong have been in government for a long time, and they know that it is not appropriate to persuade them at this time. Now, as long as Yuan Shu is allowed to understand the attitude of the scholars and bureaucrats in the Chang'an court towards the settlement of the Gyeonggi crisis, and as long as the army of Dong can be temporarily transferred and shelved from this intensifying contradiction within the imperial court, and instead concentrate on suppressing the rebellion, this matter will eventually take an unpredictable turn with the gradual continuation of time and the ever-changing situation.

Whether it is a scholar or a warrior of the Han Dynasty, no one wants to destroy this society on which they depend.

For example, now, when the scourge of ant thieves in Qingzhou endangered the safety of the Han Dynasty, the warriors and scholars who were on the opposite side immediately gave up the fight, just like the eunuchs and the party members of the year, when the catastrophe was coming, everyone put aside their grudges against each other without hesitation, and worked together to kill the huge threat that endangered their own survival.

The turning point to save the Han will inevitably appear with the pacification of the Qingzhou ant thieves. Ma Riyan said: "Since you keep saying that you respect the Son of Heaven and are loyal to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven wants you to send the taxes to the Dasi Nong Mansion, are you willing?" Yuan Shu smiled: "Of course I am willing, but I can't take it out now." Since December last year, I have been fighting against Dong. It's been five months now, how much do you think I'm going to spend? Also, I am about to reorganize the army to go to Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou to quell the rebellion, my army, Lord Sun Jian's army, Yuzhou's army, and the army of Lord Xu Rong in Northern Xinjiang, tens of thousands of troops need food and baggage, how much grain do you say I want to prepare? Please ask the three adults to play back Your Majesty, the minister is indeed powerless" Ma Riyan shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"Then let's do it, don't block the road to Wuguan, you get out of the way, so that the gate valve rich in the gate can come to Nanyang to buy grain, okay?" Yuan Shu faced the aggressive eyes of Ma Riyan and the others, and hesitated for a long time.

"You know, Yuan Shao has been fighting with me a lot recently about the inheritance of the head of the family......"

"Okay, I'll fix it for you." Ma Riyan airway,

"I stayed with the Emperor Fu and lobbied around for you. Lord Ding immediately returned to Beijing with your piece of music and your copy of the letter that was written all over the world, and asked His Majesty for a letter of reward for you, so that you should be sure that you will inherit the head of the family, right? Yuan Shu smiled slightly,

"As soon as the Son of Heaven's decree arrives, I will immediately get out of the way." In April, Jinyang, Longshan Hussar General's Mansion.

Because the princess had to stay in Longshan, and Li Hong was reluctant to move to Jinyang City, the Longshan camp was lively for a while.

There are military camps in the big camp, there are hussar generals' mansions, there are Changping princesses' mansions, and there are military markets near the big camp that have gradually formed a scale.

It's crowded and noisy, and safety can't be guaranteed. Zhang Fan and Xing Hao of the Changping Princess's Mansion, Zhu Mu of the Hussar General's Mansion and others asked Li Hong several times to move the Princess's Mansion and the Hussar General's Mansion out of the camp and to a quiet valley at the eastern foot of Longshan Mountain.

That valley is five miles away from Longshan Daying, and it is also a little closer to Jinyang City. After Li Hong went to the field to see it, he agreed.

In any case, it is against the law to arrange for the princess and the ladies of the palace to live in the barracks after all.

The Son of Heaven decreed that it was sent to the Hussar General's Mansion. The Son of Heaven worshiped Li Hong and led the military with the rank of hussar general.

The generals of this dynasty have always been served by relatives, and Li Hong is not a relative, so he can only lead concurrently according to the law.

Now that the Son of Heaven is young, Dong Zhuo is in charge, and worshipping Li Hong as the acting general is obviously Dong Zhuo's desire to win over Li Hong, and it has nothing to do with the favor of the Son of Heaven.

The general was in charge of the expedition in all directions, so the Son of Heaven specially issued an order, taking into account the current situation of the Han Dynasty, and ordered Li Hong to take charge of the military affairs of the seven prefectures of Sili, He, You, Ji, Yan, Qing, and Xu, and quickly quell the Gyeonggi crisis and the ant thief rebellion.

Li Hong was very annoyed after receiving the holy decree, and his face was very ugly. When the Jinyang Governments heard the news, they congratulated one after another, and Li Hong ordered the sacrifice to block the frame, but none of them were gone.

During this time, the princess urged Li Hong to lead the army south to quell the rebellion three times and twice, but Li Hong politely refused on the grounds of spring ploughing.

At the same time, Princess Changping was also under great pressure from all sides in northern Xinjiang to oppose the dispatch of troops. Officials from various prefectures in northern Xinjiang wrote to the princess one after another, vigorously criticizing the remarks of abandoning northern Xinjiang, believing that this was a plan to destroy the country and was absolutely unfeasible.

Wang Rou and Linghu Shao also brought many Jinyang gate lord families to give gifts to the princess, begging the princess to start from the current situation in northern Xinjiang and not to listen to the greedy words of villains.

Once the border army of the Saiwai border army goes south, it is a trivial matter that the desert is lost, and the rebellion of the Hu people is a major matter. The students of Jinyang University Hall and many Confucian scholars in Jinyang are Yuan Shao's

The matter of "undertaking the edict" was written to the princess, thinking that Yuan Shao not only wanted to ask for Dong, but also wanted to depose the son of today.

In this way, what is the difference between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo? Once the hussar general helped Yuan Shao kill Dong Zhuo.

What to do today? The young princess was at a loss and at a loss. Li Hong just blocked the princess's urging here, and the Son of Heaven came with such a holy decree again, isn't there nothing to do?

Dong Zhuo explained in his letter to Li Hong that due to the failure to appease Han Sui and Ma Teng, the rebels in Western Xinjiang swarmed in, and the armies of Huangfuhong and Dong Yue had no choice but to meet the battle.

At present, I really can't afford to look east, these headaches can only be handed over to you, I will solve the matter of Xijiang first.

Li Hong was worried, and there has been no response to the peace with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao was very stubborn, and Zheng Yan's lobbying did not achieve the slightest effect.

There is no solution to the Gyeonggi crisis, so how can there be time to take care of the rebellion in Yanqing and Xusanzhou? Now Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian's letter for help, Jizhou Mu Hanfu's letter for help, and Zhu Jun's letter urging the army to quickly go south to attack Chang'an are on the table, and he has a headache when he looks at it.

Xuzhou was fiercely attacked by the leaders of the ant thieves, Sima Ju, Xu and an army of 300,000 troops, and Donghai County, Langxie County and Pengcheng County were in full emergency.

Tao Qian rushed to the doctor in a hurry and asked for help everywhere. The strongest force in the Han Kingdom is Li Hong, and Li Hong and himself have a friendship in Western Xinjiang, although it is said that distant water cannot save the thirst, but hope is better than no hope.

Tao Qian said in his letter that for the sake of millions of innocent beings in Xuzhou, he begged the adults to come to their aid quickly, even if it was 3,000 iron horses.

Hanoi County and Wei County in Jizhou were attacked by the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro with increasing ferocity. The gallop connecting the two places has become the focus of contention between the two sides.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu opened the Chi Road several times, but each time they were quickly cut off by the Yellow Turban Army. Yuan Shao's military needs became more and more scarce, and more and more troops were invested in eastern Hanoi, and Han Fu was unable to concentrate his forces to cooperate with Yuan Shao because the rest of Wei County was also plundered by the Yellow Turban Army, and as a result, the situation became worse and worse.

Han Fu had no choice but to ask Li Hong for help, hoping that Li Hong would send the army of Koyi as quickly as possible to help encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro.

Han Fu believes that the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro seems to have an attempt to cross the Yellow River and join the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou.

Once the ant thieves of the two places merge into one, Jizhou will be hit hard. At this time, Zhu Jun ignored the rebellion of the displaced people in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou, and repeatedly persuaded Li Hong to give up checks and balances and quickly capture Guanzhong.

Zhu Jun believes that as long as Li Hong does his best, Dong Zhuo will definitely flee into Western Xinjiang, then the Son of Heaven can be saved, and the society can be prosperous.

If you send troops, you have to send your own troops, but the spring ploughing in northern Xinjiang has not yet been completed, the victims outside the Saiwai still need relief, and the two places in Jizhou still need tuntian, how can they have money and food to fight?

Now Xu Rong and Yang Feng's 20,000 troops have completely cut off their food and salaries, and it is all up to them to solve it.

Shang Shulang, who came to issue the decree, did not dare to stop, and continued to go north to Youzhou with the holy decree of the Son of Heaven to worship Liu Yu as the Taifu.

At the same time, Liu Yu's son Liu He rushed to Jinyang from Youzhou. Liu He, accompanied by Zhao Qi, rushed to this valley called Longquan.

Liu He's identity at this time was the imperial history of the Great Sima Mansion (the imperial history of the Shangqing Prefectures of this dynasty was mainly to impeach illegal or send out to perform designated tasks).

After he was dismissed from the post of guard lieutenant, he has been serving with the princess as a subordinate of the princess's mansion. When he arrived in Youzhou this time, Liu Yu arranged for him to serve in his own Da Sima Mansion.

Seeing Liu He, who was in the dust, and hearing Liu He's first words, the smile on Li Hong's face was more ugly than crying.
