Zhu Jun very much hoped that Yuan Shao would go to Luoyang, because he looked down on Yuan Shu and thought that he was a gentleman, a gangster in the officialdom, unable to write or martial arts, even if he entered Luoyang and became the head of Yuan Valve's family, he would not be able to do anything big.

Zhu Jun really hoped that Yuan Shao would cross the river to attack and occupy Luoyang in one fell swoop when the fierce battle on the battlefield south of Luoyang was raging and the northern forces of Luoyang were empty, but Yuan Shao's hesitation and sluggishness made him very disappointed.

Yuan Shao has Yuan Shao's difficulties.

In March, more than a dozen armies of Montenegro, such as the Yellow Turban, Bai Huan, and Ku Chief, went down the mountain at the same time, and an army of more than 200,000 people attacked Yecheng in Wei County, Jizhou, and Dangyin and Chaoge in Hanoi from different directions.

The intention of the Yellow Turban Army was obvious, they wanted to cross the Yellow River, attack the East County of Yanzhou, and join the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

If the two Yellow Turban armies meet, they will open the Yellow River Pass, and the Yellow Turban armies in Qingzhou and Yanzhou will immediately go north to attack Jizhou. As a result, the five prefectures of Hebei, Yan, Qingdao, Xu, and Henan all suffered. Tens of millions of displaced people will have to leave their homes and fields to survive because of the war.

In the past few years, due to the incessant rebellion in various places and frequent disasters, there are already many displaced people, and if there is another great turmoil like this, the number and scale of displaced people will reach an unprecedented number.

The lack of food and clothing, hunger and cold of so many displaced people is bound to cause an unprecedented disaster, which is far greater than the disaster caused by the Zhangjiao Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, and the impact on the Great Han State can be imagined.

Due to the ant thieves riot, this year's Hebei, Yan, Qing, Xu, and Henan prefectures will definitely have a poor harvest or no harvest. These five rich states and counties ran out of food, and the Great Han Kingdom was basically in a desperate situation.

The prefectures and counties were unable to provide relief to the displaced people or to quell the rebellion, so they had to let the ant thieves ravage and plunder. The homeless people are hungry everywhere.

The result is a vicious circle, with more and more rebellions, more and more ant thieves and displaced people, more and more powerless counterinsurgency, more and more barren fields, and finally people die. The society also collapsed, and everyone was finished together.

The great harm of the ant thief riot was not only realized by Yuan Shao alone, but also by many officials such as Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Qingzhou Mu Da Sima Liu Yu, Pingyuan Taishou Liu Bei, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, etc., so the letters asking for help from all over the country flew around like snowflakes, and there was almost no seal with blood.

The troops who should go back to quell the rebellion have all returned, but because the situation has gotten out of control, the best time to counterinsurgency has been missed, and the Yellow Turban Army of Sima Ju, Xu He and others has formed a strong strength, and the counterinsurgency is in a predicament.

Sima Liu Yu of Qingzhou Muda was trapped in Linzi. Beihai Xiang Kong Rong who had just returned to the territory was trapped in the county seat of the drama, Taishan Taishou Ding Yuan was trapped in Fenggao, Langya Xiang Yinde, Donghai Xiang Liu Kui, Pengcheng Xiang Jilian, Peiguo Xiang Yuan Zhong, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi and others were trapped in the governance center, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao and other armies were blocked by the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Jiyin County, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

Yuan Shao had only one way to save the situation at this time, and that was to concentrate his forces and block the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro north of the Yellow River and the Yellow Turban Army of Yanzhou south of the Yellow River. Resolutely do not allow the Yellow Turban Army of the two places to meet. Then defeated the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army on the battlefields of Wei County and Hanoi, and defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the areas of Taishan, Luguo, Donghai, Pengcheng, and Peiguo at the junction of Yanqing, Xuzhou, and Henan. Even if the counterinsurgency takes a little longer. It's also better than causing a shocking disaster and ruining the society.

On the battlefield of Yanzhou, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai commanded various troops and horses to attack Xu He's Yellow Turban Army and prevent them from advancing to Dongjun in the northwest. In Wei County, Jizhou, Jizhou Mu Hanfu commanded his troops and horses to attack the Yellow Turban Army of the Ku Chieftain and prevent them from advancing towards the Yellow River in the southeast.

Yuan Shao of Hanoi was very bitter, and he had to face three battlefields at the same time: Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang led the army Chen Bing to the Yellow River. Pretend to be an army of 30,000 to deter Luoyang. Liu Xun and Gao Gan led the army to fight against Yu Poison in the area of Yewang and Shanyang. The armies of Chun Yuqiong and Han Qiong attacked Bai Huan in the area of Chaoge and Lugut Mountain.

Yuan Shao was short of troops, food and grass, so he could only concentrate on fighting the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro first.

Yuan Shao's strategy was strongly supported by Liu Dai, Han Fu and others, and also became a lifesaver for Tao Qian, Liu Yu and others.

But Yuan Shao was very painful in his heart. He did so at the cost of giving up Luoyang, giving up courting Dong and clearing his family feuds. Yuan Shao was actually unwilling to give up attacking Luoyang, but at this moment, he had no choice.

It can be seen from the disbandment of the jujube army. No one is willing to give up their own states and counties to help Yuan Valve fight the world for free. The discussion of Dong Jijing is about to fail, and the only hope is Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Shu occupies Luoyang, Dong will be considered a victory.

Although this is a nominal victory, it at least proves the justice of Dong, proves the strength of Dong's army, and gives the people of the world an explanation. What is especially important is that because of this achievement, Yuan Valve's power is overwhelming, and he is more powerful and convincing to control the world by himself.

However, Yuan Shu was defeated, and the defeat was miserable.

The news of Yuan Shu's defeat was sent by Zhu Jun from Luoyang, and Zhu Jun also told him that Chang'an had sent two envoys to appease him. All the way to Nanyang and Yuzhou, all the way to Hanoi and Yanzhou. Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yin Xun, Zhijin Wu Hu Wuban, Wu Xun, who will be a master craftsman, and Wang Huan, the captain of Yueqi, have already left the tiger prison before the end of April and went to Chenliu County.

Yuan Shao immediately felt that something was wrong.

He knows Yuan Shu's character very well, in today's crisis, it is impossible to enter Luoyang, and the position of the head of the family is even more unattainable, Yuan Shu must be desperate.

It is obviously impossible to reorganize the army and continue to attack Luoyang, which does not benefit Yuan Shu at all, nor does it conform to Yuan Shu's shrewd and mercenary character.

Yuan Shao thought that Yuan Shu's only choice was to make peace with the hussar general, stick to Nanyang and Yuzhou, and save his life first, so as not to chase the Xiliang army while he was victorious.

If you want to make peace with the hussar general, you must first agree to the strategy of checks and balances. Once Yuan Shu agreed, the matter of courting Dong became a big joke, and Yuan not only lost the hearts of the people, but also came to the verge of extinction.

Li Yi's envoy rushed to Huaicheng to persuade Yuan Shao, just for this matter. After the tripartite checks and balances, everyone can temporarily abandon hatred and strife in order to concentrate forces to quell the rebellion. Now it is not Dong Zhuo who endangers the survival of the society, but the Yellow Turban Army that is causing trouble in various places, but Yuan Shao did not hesitate and refused.

The basis of the checks and balances is to respect the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Shao denied the current son from the moment he raised the army, although later because Li Yi took out the edict of the first emperor, Yuan Shao was forced to give up the so-called edict, but he has not given up his ideas. If Yuan Shao agreed to the strategy of checks and balances, it would be tantamount to denying his righteousness in raising troops. I have slapped my own ears, gone back on my word, and lost my loyalty, what can I do to order others? How will Yuan Valve stand in the world in the future? Who else will be convinced that Yuan Valve will follow Yuan Valve?

promised the checks and balances, in fact, he surrendered Dong Zhuo, and admitted in disguise that he was a Han rebel, although he was covered with a gorgeous silk satin on surrender and rebellion, but this layer of silk satin was too thin, and it was the same as not covering it.

Now that the situation is urgent, anyone can swear that they are not to blame in the past, but what about the situation in the future? Will the Son of Heaven believe and tolerate a group of rebels? Dong Zhuo, a tiger who has regained his strength, will easily let go of his enemy?

Yuan Valve has lost his trust in the world, and has been despised and spurned by the people of the world, even if there is no Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo, Yuan Valve will be eradicated by the joint efforts of other gate lords, and no one will trust a treacherous rebel.

As long as the checks and balances are agreed, it is equivalent to sending Yuan Valve and the people who trust and follow Yuan Valve to the grave. Anyone with a little brain can see his own tragic fate in the future, so Yuan Valve is bound to fall apart and lose his strong support immediately.

In other words, after the balance of power, the Yuan valve, whose power has declined drastically, will be replaced by other gate valves in the court.

More importantly, although the countermeasures can temporarily solve the crisis of the Han Dynasty, the blow to the scholars and the harm to the future society are immeasurable.

Yuan Shao resolutely disagreed with the checks and balances, because he knew that one of the tripartite checks and balances proposed by Li Yi was actually not his Yuan Valve, but the entire Han scholar class.

After agreeing to the checks and balances, it was not only the Yuan lord who surrendered, but the scholars of the Han Dynasty, and it was the surrender of the scholars to the warriors.

Now it seems that the army of Dong is charging into battle with the forces of Yuan Valve, but in fact, behind it is the strength of the entire Han people, without the concerted efforts of these people, there would be no today's army of Dong Wang, let alone such a huge momentum today.

Although those prefectures and counties that did not participate in the discussion of Dong did not have an alliance and did not send troops, they sent grain and grass and baggage, and stationed them in the rear with all their might.

Although those scholars and bureaucrats in the court did not speak out to support them, they continued to send news that Dong Dajun urgently needed, and set up many obstacles and traps for Dong Zhuo in Luoyang and Chang'an.

The power of a single Yuan lord cannot compete with the entire country. If Yuan Valve himself had such a huge strength, what else did he need to do with the Alliance?

A little further, will Dong Zhuo still enter Beijing to trample on the imperial power? Can a traitor still bring disaster to the country and the people and kill the party? At best, Yuan Valve is just a prominent gate valve in the Great Han Kingdom. What is he? Can it be compared to the Dou Gate Valve of the past?

Yuan Valve surrendered, and it was not Yuan Valve's family who was hit hard, but the entire scholar class of the Great Han Kingdom. In the future, the court will be a confrontation between warriors and scholars, and with the current strength of the scholars, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo and Li Yi to be the opponents of heroes like Dong Zhuo and Li Yi.

Today, when the imperial power is declining, the struggle for authority between the warriors and scholars will directly lead to the defeat of the society. (To be continued.) )
