Dong Zhuo was reluctant to leave Xiliang, and the general He Jin was even more reluctant to go west to Liangzhou. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

The general He Jin played the Son of Heaven, saying that there had been a famine in Qingxu and Yanzhou recently, and the ant thieves could not continue to attack the city without food support, so they withdrew into Mount Tai and the banks of the Yellow River, and many rebel armies were scattered overnight. At the same time, the number of victims in Jizhou increased dramatically, and millions of victims in Qingxu and Yanzhou flocked across the Yellow River into Jizhou. Now Jizhou is overwhelmed, the situation is precarious, and riots are on the verge of breaking out. The general He Jin begged the Son of Heaven to temporarily postpone the westward march to Liangzhou so that the army could be stationed in Jizhou to control the situation.

Jizhou Mu Yang Qi played three times a day, begging the Son of Heaven to quickly allocate disaster relief money and food to appease the displaced people in the territory. Yang Qi said that His Majesty's transfer of the Northern Army at the most critical juncture in Jizhou is simply adding frost to the tile, which will make the situation in Jizhou worse. In the past few years, Jizhou has been plagued by ant thieves, the population has been greatly reduced, and the fields are barren.

The ministers of the DPRK and China also wrote letters of advice. Taiwei Ma Riyan said that the Xiliang rebels had beaten Huangfu Song to the ground and fled back to the desolate land of Biansai, and the rebels' threat to Xiliang and Sanfu had been lifted, and there was no point in requisitioning the general to go west to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. On the contrary, the situation in Jizhou was very critical at this time, which had seriously affected the security of Gyeonggi, so he thought that the general and the northern army should stay in Jizhou for the time being.

The Son of Heaven turned a deaf ear and ignored it. He ordered the ministers of the Three Princes and the ministers of Shangshutai to begin preparations for the canonization of the crown prince, urging them to immediately draft a letter abolishing the empress.

The Son of Heaven issued an order to the left general Huangfu Song, ordering him to forcibly take over the Xiliang Army with a decree. Ordered the lieutenant of the middle base, Huang Fuhong, to command the 20,000 northern army and immediately set off for Bingzhou.

The Son of Heaven replied to Dong Zhuo with an extremely harshly worded decree, ordering him to immediately go to the state to take charge of the military administration after receiving the order, to suppress the increasingly serious riots of the victims in the state, and to ensure that the army would be foolproof when it went out of the fortress to fight. If he persists in disobeying, he should be severely punished for the crime of disobedience.

The Son of Heaven issued an order to Jizhou Mu Yang Qi and ordered him to recruit another 10,000 county soldiers. If the people riot, there is no forgiveness. As for the disaster relief money and grain, the imperial court will transfer it to Jizhou in the shortest possible time, so please wait patiently for the Jizhou government.

The Son of Heaven once again issued an order urging the general He Jin to lead his troops west to Liangzhou. The Son of Heaven said that the matter in Jizhou has nothing to do with you, don't make excuses, and immediately go to Xiliang for me.

Xian Yufu hurriedly played the Son of Heaven, saying that the riots in Xihe County were intensifying, but Li Hong, the general of the expedition to the north, turned a blind eye and forcibly took away 20,000 troops. At present, Xian Yuyin has led 5,000 soldiers to Xihe to quell the rebellion, Sun Qin led 5,000 soldiers to Shangdang to quell the rebellion, Zhang Yan led 5,000 soldiers to return to Taiyuan from the Juzhu fortress to quell the rebellion, and he took 5,000 soldiers to garrison Jinyang. In order to prevent the riotous army from flowing through Hedong and threatening the safety of Gyeonggi, he has urgently recruited 50,000 tuntian soldiers to block all the main roads to Hedong in the south. Xian Yufu begged the Son of Heaven to urge the former general Dong Zhuo to immediately lead 20,000 northern troops into Bingzhou, so that he and Zhang Yan could quickly get out of Bingzhou and lead his troops out of the fortress to participate in the battle.

Zhao Qi and Zhang Yan jointly played the Son of Heaven. Zhao Qi was angry, and he scolded Jizhou Mu Yang Qi in the recital for being a ** minister who harmed the Han Society. Zhao Qi said that for the sake of his own selfishness, Yang Qi, the Mu of Jizhou, disregarded the safety of the country and mobilized a large number of county soldiers to drive the victims into the state. In the barren land of the state, and at the time of the great war, how could there be financial and material resources to resettle so many victims? The riots of the people in Bingzhou are fundamentally **, and they are all caused by Yang Qi. Zhao Qi pleaded with the Son of Heaven to severely punish Jizhou Mu Yang Qi, and asked the Jizhou government to resolutely stop the influx of disaster victims into the state. Zhao Qi threatened the Son of Heaven that if this situation was not contained, he would close the Huguan Pass and block all the key passes to enter the state.

Li Hong, the general of the expedition to the north, hurriedly played the Son of Heaven, saying that he had led an army of 94,000 from Mayi City in Yanmen County and was attacking and advancing towards Dingxiang County. At present, Jade's army is attacking Luo County, Yan Rou's army has approached Dingxiang County, and he is about to lead his army to attack Zhongling County. Li Hong said confidently that the minister expected to take the entire Dingxiang County by the end of April, and it would be close to Yunzhong. In order to maintain the strength of the frontal attack, the minister begged His Majesty to immediately urge the former general Dong Zhuo to lead his troops into Bingzhou, so that Xian Yufu and Zhang Yan could quickly lead their troops out of the fortress and join the army.

At the same time, Wang Han, the Taishou of Hedong County, hurriedly played the Son of Heaven, saying that the ant thief Bai Boyu who was stationed on Wangwu Mountain heard that the armies of Northern Xinjiang had gone out to fight, and they were so bold that they went down the mountain to plunder Hedong County. Wang Han was very anxious, and he said in the recital that it was the spring plowing season, and if he could not repel the ant thieves in time, the spring ploughing might be delayed, and the consequences would be very serious. He begged the Son of Heaven to send troops to support him immediately.

The Son of Heaven was so angry that he scolded. As soon as the general of Zhengbei came out of the fortress, there were seven fires and eight smoke in the northern Xinjiang, how could this battle be fought? As soon as the annexation of the state was in chaos, the supply of grain and grass for the northern army became a big problem, and the situation of the front-line army was very critical. The ministers did not expect that the situation in the state would become so bad in a blink of an eye, and everyone was caught off guard and worried one by one.

"Issued an order to Xian Yufu, ordering him to sit in the town and merge the state, lead the military of the general of the north and supervise the military power of the northern Xinjiang. In addition, I would like to remind him that he is now under the command of me, not the command of General Zhengbei. Let him not go out of the fortress before Dong Zhuo enters the state, and do his best to supervise the grain and grass for the northern army, and if there is a mistake, he will not be spared. ”

"An order was given to Zhang Yan, so that he could temporarily lead the governor of the state to take charge of the military and political affairs of the state, and be fully responsible for all matters related to countering the rebellion. Emphatically told him that he must not block the various passes in Jizhou to enter the state, otherwise he will be punished for resisting the decree and will be killed. ”

"Give an order to Zhang Ze (that is, Zhang Baiqi), let him raise another 20,000 Tuntian soldiers, and immediately go south to kill the white wave ant thieves."

Taiwei Ma Riyan hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, the Tuntian soldiers are the Yellow Turban Army, and the White Wave Ant Thieves are also the Yellow Turban Army. ”

"Aiqing only thought that they were all thieves, but I didn't expect that one of them was a thief with no worries about food and clothing, and the other was a thief with red eyes from hunger, how do you know that they will be embarrassed?" The Son of Heaven shook his hand disdainfully and said, "Let's do this first." This urgent need must be solved no matter what, otherwise there will be a shortage of food in Hedong in the second half of the year, and Gyeonggi will have a very difficult time. After the northern army arrived in Hedong, they let them go back to Tuntian. ”

"Issued an order to Jizhou Mu Yang Qi and told him not to go too far. If the disaster victims are driven into Jin, I will transfer all the disaster relief money and grain allocated to Jizhou to Bingzhou. Also, I ordered to comfort Zhao Qi. The old man was probably so dizzy that he even dared to threaten me. The Son of Heaven pointed to Jian Shuo and said, "Send someone to send some good ginseng and deer antler velvet to the boss to replenish his body." ”

"Urge Dong Zhuo again."

Dong Zhuo was forced to be helpless, so he had to pack up and prepare to leave. At this time, when he went to merge with the state, his decades of hard work would be in vain, and his decades of prestige would be ruined, and Dong Zhuo was so angry that he almost rebelled. What mistakes did he make and what trouble did he cause, and he became the person who the Son of Heaven and the court were bound to kill him quickly.

Whoever goes to Merge State today is a tragic end in a different place. Why don't you let Huangfu Song go, you have to let me go, this shows that you want to kill me. Li Ru originally wanted to persuade Dong Zhuo to say a few words, but was kicked out by Dong Zhuo in a rage. Dong Zhuo pointed at him and scolded him non-stop. I knew that spending money to buy the Tongshi clan was the end, I wouldn't have listened to you anyway, if I had been following the ** eunuch, I would never have today's desperate situation. The Son of Heaven and the ** eunuch now know that I am stepping on three boats, although they say that they still trust me, but they hate to eat me alive. It's all your good idea. You've hurt me, you know?

Li Hong has just come out of the customs, and the state has become a mess, who can clean up the chaotic situation of the state merger now? There are Yellow Turban Army, disaster victims, military tun people, and I have to transport grain, grass and ordnance to the Northern Expedition Army, so many things are intertwined, and I, Dong Zhuo, can't be busy even if I have ten heads and a hundred hands. When the time comes, don't wait for Your Majesty to give the order to kill me, I myself will be so tired that I vomit blood and die.

I have no roots, no army, and I am not familiar with the military and political affairs of the state. I'm almost sixty years old, am I still going to Bingzhou to start a new business at such an old age? By the time the foundation is laid, I will have turned to ashes.

Dong Zhuo roared hysterically for a while, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated a lot. He helped Li Ru up, patted him on the shoulder very apologetically, and then said with a resolute expression: "I will never enter the state." ”

Li Ru said: "The current situation in Luoyang is very unfavorable to the generals and scholars, and it is estimated that the matter of the imperial command will soon be settled, so at this time, the general should adapt to the situation and wait for the opportunity to move." My judgment in the early stage was indeed wrong, I didn't expect to be so powerful today, but this did not affect the general's career and life. Judging from the current use of the Son of Heaven on you, you are still very important to the Son of Heaven, otherwise the eunuch would not have sent someone to accuse us, let alone say that he wants us to be loyal to His Majesty. Now, although the general is reluctant to enter and merge the state, he cannot help but leave Xiliang. If the general annoys His Majesty, His Majesty can escort you to the capital with a holy decree, so the general should follow the holy decree and leave Xiliang as soon as possible. ”

"Leaving Xiliang?" Dong Zhuo sighed helplessly, "Where are we after leaving Xiliang?" ”

"Let's go to the east of the river." Li Ru said, "Hedong is only a few hundred miles away from Luoyang, and it is almost impossible to cross the river, so it is safest for us to stay in Hedong, and it is even better than staying in Xiliang, a remote and isolated place." ”

"To the east of the river?" Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and asked, "There must always be a reason for staying in Hedong, what reason do we have?" ”

"Kill the white wave ant thief." Li Ru said, "Didn't Yang Feng, the leader of the White Wave Ant Thieves, take refuge in the general? You asked Yang Feng to secretly rush to Wangwu Mountain and get in touch with the white wave ant thief. And then we fought this counterinsurgency war for a few months. As soon as a few months pass, whether it is Luoyang, the annexation of the state, or the war outside the Saiwai, everything will change, and it will naturally be clear where the general will go at that time. ”

"Into Beijing?" Dong Zhuo suddenly came to his senses, his face showed surprise, "Your Majesty has now forced He Jin to a dead end, he will either tie his hands and wait for death, or secretly return to Beijing to launch a mutiny, and the battle for imperial dominance will inevitably evolve into a bloody storm." If He Jin launches a mutiny, then our opportunity has come. ”

"Yes." Li Ru sneered, "If He Jin wants to launch a mutiny, he must obtain the support of scholars in the court, but their army is small in number and insufficient in strength, while the Son of Heaven holds the imperial power, with the Southern Army inside and the Xiyuan Army outside, and his strength is far superior to He Jin." Therefore, we cannot guess whether He Jin's mutiny will succeed and how the situation in Luoyang will develop. But we are close to Luoyang, and the general has an army in his hands, as long as the general waits for the opportunity in Hedong, whether the Son of Heaven wins, He Jin wins, or the scholars win, we can all benefit from it. ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, "In this way, the Son of Heaven treats me well, and gives me such an excellent opportunity, a chance to eradicate the ** and serve the country." Once this move is successful, the emperor will be established, Luoyang will be stable, and the society will be peaceful, and I, Dong Zhuoke, will be the first hero of the Han Kingdom. ”

"Exactly." Li Ru twisted his beard and said with a smile, "This Xiliang, the general is going to leave no matter what, not to mention that if you don't leave, Huangfu Song will also drive you away." But the general could not enter the state under any circumstances. But then again, the general may not be able to enter the state. I don't believe that Li Hong will hand over to you the merger state that he has worked hard for several years. If it was you, the general, who went out to fight, would you be willing to hand over the lives of yourself and 200,000 soldiers to Li Hong? Or is it Huangfu Song? ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head, "I'd rather give up fighting out of the fortress than hand over the lives of myself and 200,000 soldiers to others." The 200,000 troops led by Li Hong were either Hu people or the Yellow Turban Army, and they would all be hidden worries that would endanger the Han Dynasty in the future, so His Majesty would never let them return to the Great Wall alive. Li Hong's refusal to let me enter the state shows that he is very smart, and if he lets me enter the state, it means that he is the biggest idiot in the Han Kingdom and deserves to die. Immediately, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he pointed at Li Ru and said coldly, "The riots in Bingzhou may be ......."

"Yes, Li Hong is still the biggest threat to my Great Han Kingdom after all." Li Ru said worriedly, "If this person is not removed, there will be no peace in my Great Han Kingdom." ”

Dong Zhuo's expression froze, his eyes stared at Li Zhuo for a long time and he was speechless, and suddenly his face showed a helpless look, and he sighed: "His future is my today." Although he himself had no intention of causing trouble to the country, His Majesty and the ministers of the court would not be willing to keep a leopard by his side. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about him, how can there be a place for warriors in today's Great Han Kingdom." Your Majesty, I said that the situation in Bingzhou is now critical, and I will take my own barracks to Bingzhou. ”

Li Ru nodded and said: "This time to Hedong, although the general can command the northern army, but he can't command the northern army as he wants, so the general still brings some more iron cavalry for safety." ”

"Three thousand iron horsemen are enough." Dong Zhuo said disdainfully, "Whether it is the Southern Army, the Northern Army or the Western Garden Army, who can stop my Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" ”

When Dong Zhuo walked to Chang'an with three thousand iron horses, the reply of the Son of Heaven arrived. The Son of Heaven agreed that he would lead his own guards to Bingzhou, and urged him again to speed up his march. At this time, Huang Fuhong had already crossed the river from Pubanjin with the northern army to the east of the river. Wang Han, the Taishou of Hedong, was overjoyed when he saw the arrival of the northern army, and immediately ordered them to garrison Anyi to prevent the Tuntian soldiers from making trouble again. At the same time, Zhang Baiqi was urgently ordered to return to Linfen with the Tuntian soldiers to farm, and the heavy task of killing the ant thieves in Wangwushan was immediately handed over to Huangfuhong.

After the news of the northern army stranded in Hedong reached Luoyang, the Son of Heaven was very angry and hurriedly issued an order urging Dong Zhuo to immediately lead his troops north to merge the state, but at this time bad news came from Chang'an. Dong Zhuo was assassinated, and he was hit by three crossbow arrows in his body, and he was seriously injured. The Son of Heaven had no choice but to turn the spearhead and urge the general He Jin again.

He Jin played the Son of Heaven, saying that after the Northern Army crossed the river to the north to quell the rebellion, due to the repeated battles, the soldiers suffered a large number of casualties, and it was necessary to temporarily recruit soldiers to replenish the army, and he begged His Majesty to give him some more time, and he must lead his troops west to Liangzhou at the end of April. Since He Jin explained the reason and gave a positive answer, the Son of Heaven was not good to urge again, so he immediately convened the ministers to discuss the establishment of the imperial system and the canonization of the crown prince.

The meeting lasted a long time and dragged on until late at night. As soon as the ministers left the Garter Hall, the Son of Heaven fainted. Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo was shocked and categorically ordered to block the Yongle Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The Queen Mother burst into tears, and she fed the Son of Heaven ten gold pills in a row but failed to wake up the Son of Heaven.

The little yellow door was in chaos, and it was so anxious that it was turning around. The Queen Mother said, it's better to urgently summon a doctor to show the Son of Heaven, right? Jian Shuo hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to make up his mind. At this time, if there is news that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, Luoyang is bound to undergo earth-shattering changes. He discussed with the Queen Mother and sent someone to invite the hussar general Dong Chong into Yongle Palace overnight. The three of them summed up for a long time and decided to hide the news of Tianzi's serious illness.

Several of the best physicians of the palace were invited to the Yongle Palace, and they unanimously concluded that the Son of Heaven had liver disease, and that his condition was very serious. Jian Shuo asked, how serious is it? Several healers trembled and didn't dare to speak. The Queen Mother said, let's be honest, forgive you for your innocence. An older healer said sadly that he was terminally ill and his days were numbered. The Queen Mother cried bitterly and fainted on the spot. Jian Shuo said to a few doctors, you stay in Yongle Palace for the time being to treat Your Majesty's illness, and you must not leak the news of Your Majesty's illness, otherwise you will kill the Nine Clans.

The next day Tianzi was still unconscious. This morning, Jian Shuo told the minister all over the place, saying that the Queen Mother was sick, and the Son of Heaven would accompany him, and he had not been in court recently, and if there was an emergency, I would play it on his behalf.

In the afternoon of that day, the heavens showed a vision, and the heavenly dogs swallowed the sun, and the heavens and the earth were plunged into darkness.
