The next day, the princes of the Eighteenth Route led their troops to meet in Sujube City.

These eighteen princes are the main force in the future, but at this moment, they are working together to defeat Dong Zhuo, and only Li Yi knows in his heart that in a year, this powerful alliance will be divided and attack each other.

The platform of the alliance to worship the heavens is five or six zhang high, surrounded by flags, and hundreds of thousands of troops gather, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Yuan Shao alone went to the alliance platform, and looked at the military talisman seal representing the status of the alliance leader on the case, and the spirit of the overlord came into being. Secretly said: "The princes respect me as the leader of the alliance, and when they can destroy Dong Zhuo and support the Han family, I will ......be like the ancient Duke of Zhou."

Only Li Yi knew that this crusade against Dong Zhuo was ultimately fruitless, and there was infighting among the princes. The reason why he came here was firstly for fame, and secondly, because there was a jade seal in Luoyang City.

Heirloom jade seal! Since ancient times, there have been ninety-five shares, and they must be the first to rush in and take them home as a big seal.

Yuan Shao burned incense and fell to the ground, and Li Yi and others then bowed down in the audience.

"The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control. The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. Whoever is allied with me and works together to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! ”

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers chanted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

The princes were also enthusiastic, and swore to work together to punish Dong Thief!

When the sacrifice was finished, the people returned to the camp and raised their tents.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, most of whom shared the same hatred, but there were also a few who secretly harbored ghosts. Let's not talk about the others, let's just say Cao Cao, just to protect himself. After all, the assassination attempt on Dong Zhuo was unsuccessful, if he did not have soldiers, he would definitely end up in the destruction of his family.

Besides, Yuan Shao, the higher his morale is when he becomes the leader of the alliance. If Dong Zhuo is destroyed in one go, the status of the three princes is considered low.

He pondered for a moment, the food and grass for marching and fighting are the most important, and they cannot fall into the hands of others, and he can't say anything about managing it himself, and said: "Since the princes have elected me as the leader of the alliance, I will definitely reward and punish clearly......"

Li Yi was almost bored, because this was the same as in history, and after Yuan Shao's reward and punishment system was finished, he appointed his clan brother Yuan Shu to be in charge of grain and grass.

However, Yuan Shao thought that if he could really defeat Dong Zhuo. Seeing that he was drowsy, he was busy winking at Cao Cao, and said hurriedly: "When one person is needed, go to Bishui Pass first, and then the rest of the people will respond to ......."

Hold the righteousness in your hand, and then do what you have to do. This kind of thing, Boss Cao will definitely not let it go, and immediately echoed: "The hussar general is brave." There are 6,000 iron horsemen under his command to help, and he can do this! ”

Yuan Shao was proud of Cao Cao's cooperation, and this had to be decided.

But Li Yi has been shocked that he has always been accustomed to calculating others. How can you not know Yuan Shao's tricks. The heart said okay, you two are here to calculate again. Hurriedly said: "Brother Benchu, the water is a pass, and the city wall is tall. I only have cavalry under my command, how can I attack them? Now that I was about to hit Dong Zhuo by surprise, I can go. If the time for tackling key problems is delayed because of this, the younger brother will not bear this responsibility......"

I saw Sun Jian stand up, this person is a rare person among the princes, he came thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River, and he really came to fight Dong Zhuo, and said: "What the hussar general said is very true, and he is willing to be the front!" ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't expect a roadblock to pop up, and they were depressed.

The two of them are also smart people, hearing Li Yi's words, and seeing that he only led cavalry, they secretly scolded Li Yi for being shameless! No one is a horse infantry, only he only leads cavalry, and it is clear that he does not want to attack the city pass and lose his troops.

However, this matter cannot be said clearly, Yuan Shao regretted why he didn't expect to bring only cavalry, and in desperation, he could only make Sun Jian the front.

Li Yi hugged his fist at Sun Jian and thanked him: "Brother Wentai is really the pillar of my Han Dynasty, Li Yi is ashamed!" ”

Sun Jian smiled and said, "The cavalry led by the hussar general can't attack the city......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Yi pretended to talk to Cao Cao on the side, and said loudly: "Brother Benchu has a deep strategy and knows how to use troops, why let the cavalry attack the pass?" This is not to let my sons and daughters die in vain! ”

The princes in the tent were all shrewd, and they all listened thoughtfully.

Cao Cao was very embarrassed, and said in his heart that Li Yi was too bad, turning around and scolding, it was clear that I asked you to go, but you said to Ben Chu, and hurriedly said: "Hussar general can't think like this, forget that you only have cavalry with you for a while!" ”

………………

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." ”

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.

………………

Although the Dong Alliance has been established and officially joined the alliance, and Yuan Shao has become the leader of the alliance as he wished, he is still worried.

Yuan Shao's first concern was money and food.

The prefectures and counties in the lower reaches of the Yellow River have been affected by disasters for two consecutive years, and last winter they were hit by severe cold, coupled with the inability of the imperial court and prefectures and counties to provide relief, more and more people were affected. Although more than 2 million victims have moved north to Youzhou and Bingzhou in northern Xinjiang in the past two years, most of them are people from counties north of the Yellow River, and the situation south of the Yellow River is still very grim. Small-scale riots in the counties near Mount Tai have been repeated one after another, and they have not stopped for the past two years. Everyone sensed that a terrible storm of rebellion was brewing, and once this tide broke out, it would sweep through the Central Plains like a raging storm.

The first emperor once issued an edict for this purpose, ordering all prefectures and counties to recruit county soldiers, and the wealthy men and lords set up their own volunteers in order to quickly suppress the rebellion of the displaced people. But for a variety of reasons, counterinsurgency is not very effective. On the contrary, the scale of the rebels and the resistance of the displaced people have become more stubborn.

Especially after the grain was ripe in October last year, the states and counties had little relief in order to prepare for this crusade, which caused the anger of the people in heaven. First of all, it snowed all the time, and the homeless people were hungry and cold, and the corpses were everywhere. Then there were riots, frequent riots, and things got worse and worse.

Although most of these minor rebellions were quickly extinguished by the official army, the anger of the displaced people had reached its extreme. At this time, the ant thieves Sima Ju, Xu He, Guan Cheng and others took the opportunity to raise the Yellow Turban banner in Mount Tai, and the rebel leaders and displaced people gathered one after another, and the riot was about to break out.

This time, in order to crusade against Dong Zhuo, the troops of Hebei, Yan and Hanoi counties almost poured out, and some prefectures and counties in Qingzhou and Xuzhou also raised troops to respond. With so many county soldiers and volunteers from the wealthy men of various places gathered in Chenliu County, the emptiness of the rear troops was obvious.

Will the Yellow Turbans take the opportunity to start a riot?

Yuan Shao and everyone knew this problem, and when riots had become a habit of the homeless people and a means for them to continue to survive, the occurrence of riots was inevitable.

Since Zhang Jiao led a million-strong army to riot in the first year of Zhongping, the scourge of the Yellow Turban has become a stubborn disease in the Han Kingdom. Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the minister, they have become numb, turned a blind eye, and it is not strange to see it.

For the state and county, there are too many displaced people and too many riots, and even if they have the heart to suppress it, they don't have the energy and money. If you have money for counterinsurgency, it is better to use it for disaster relief.

Of course, where there are more riots, the richer the officials. Since the rebellion was not quelled, as soon as the Yellow Turban Army came, everyone had to close the city gate and make trouble for them. The mob without weapons and food could not be attacked for a long time, and naturally dispersed in twos and threes, which is the counterinsurgency strategy of most counties, and it is also the main reason why there are more and more rebels of the displaced people, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

If it weren't for this winter's heavy snowfall, the Yellow Turban Disaster might have been as calm as in the past, and would not pose a threat to the Dong army. But it snowed heavily in the first month, and as a result, the wind and clouds surged, and suddenly set off a stormy wave.

When this wave will come down, everyone knows in their hearts, it should be in April this year, when the spring ploughing is due, that is to say, there are still two months to go.

Two months later, if the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the four prefectures of Hebei, Qingdao, Yan, and Xu, at least half of the army gathered in Suozao would have to evacuate quickly.

If the city is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, it will not be a question of whether these state and county officials have anything to eat, but a question of where to stay. The foundation is gone, what war is there to fight?

The army of Dong is huge, and the lack of tens of thousands of troops is not a big problem, even if it affects the morale of the army, it doesn't matter. As long as the continuous supply of grain and grass can be guaranteed, this situation of deterrence can be maintained.

But the problem is that if the Yellow Turban Army riot cannot be controlled, it will become more and more intense, and even threaten the security of the four states, this problem will be big. The army of Dong is not only in danger of running out of food and grass, but also has the possibility of annihilation. Secondly, even if the riot situation is controlled, the spring planting time will definitely be missed, and when the large fields are barren, how will the next year live?

How to deal with this earth-shattering Yellow Turban storm? How can this crisis be averted safely? (To be continued.) )
