…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the middle of the first month, Hedong, Hebei City Hussar General Camp.

Outside the tent, snow was falling, and the cold wind was howling.

The atmosphere inside the tent was solemn, except for the occasional crisp "crackling" sound from the charcoal fire burning in the brazier.

Li Yi came to Hedong after the New Year, intending to exterminate the Baibo Yellow Turban Army entrenched in the Baibo Valley of Hedong for many years, pacify the rear, and prepare for another attack on Dong Zhuo after the beginning of the year.

But before the counterinsurgency had even begun, things came to the door.

Li Yi looked at the map on the desk and lowered his head in thought. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Wenlong, Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others are passing on the edict of the eldest princess.

The Quanzhou Imperial Court has just been established, and if the eldest princess wants to be supported by all the states and counties, she must first reverse the current grim situation, so that the states and counties can see the hope of reviving the society and the strong strength of the eldest princess. In this way, all prefectures and counties can loyally support the eldest princess and the imperial court, and can unite as one, and defeat Dong Zhuo and capture Chang'an is the only way to reverse the current grim situation.

It takes time, troops, and money to fight Chang'an, so whether the eldest princess can get the support of Jizhou has become the key to reversing the current situation, however, this key is now in trouble. No one expected that after just over a month, the Quanzhou Imperial Court was facing a desperate situation of collapse.

In order to control this new imperial court, Han Fu and Yuan Shao united various prefectures and counties, and demanded the re-establishment of the imperial system when the Chang'an War was about to begin. This kind of naked (naked) coercion and threats is really shameless.

"What else is this discussing?" Chang Yuchun said angrily, "If the imperial court can't meet the requirements of Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others, these three-way attack and the attack strategy of winning in the middle will definitely not be implemented." Without the continuous supply of money and grain in Jizhou, and without the flanking attack of the three-way army, we would not be able to defeat Dong Zhuo by relying on our own strength in northern Xinjiang. This battle could no longer be fought, so it was better to immediately change the strategy and take Jizhou instead, first stabilize the prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River, and then try to fight against Dong and revitalize Sheji. ”

Li Yi was stunned, still looking at the map.

As soon as Chang Yuchun opened his mouth, the generals of Northern Xinjiang and the subordinates in the palace immediately argued with each other, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly changed from the dullness just now, and suddenly became popular.

Xun Yu said: "In the past, under the pressure of the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army in various places, the first emperor changed the assassination history of some large states into a state pastor that integrated military and political power, and also allowed a large number of prefectures and counties to expand the county national soldiers and the wealthy men in various places to prepare for the establishment of volunteers. As a result, the state and county officials in various localities were able to hold heavy troops, which directly caused the evil consequences of the state and county supporting the army and self-respect today. ”

"In the past year, in order to curry favor with Dong and quell the rebellion, the prefectures and counties have not only deliberately used troops, but also withheld taxes for two years, which has greatly stimulated the officials of the prefectures and counties. Who wants to give up the power and wealth they have already had? The real purpose of Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others to rebuild the imperial system was actually to control the imperial court and protect the huge benefits they had obtained. ”

Now it seems that counting on them will not save the community. The lord did not hesitate to give up all the military politics of Northern Xinjiang, and the Taifu gave up the military and political affairs of Qingzhou, while Han Fu clung to the power in his hands, which shows his greed for power and wealth. Han Fu is not even willing to give up the military and political affairs of a state, can we still count on him to provide money and food to the army and help the imperial court King Qin to seek Dong? ”

"As I said, this court is a four-like court, and it is difficult to deter states and counties, and sooner or later something will happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Accidents can allow us to see the true faces of Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and the imperial court can also quickly adjust some major strategies to avoid suffering in the future. ”

However, Xun Yu, Guo Yun and others all opposed the attack on Jizhou. Xun Yu said: "If we also disobey the will of the imperial court and wantonly attack Jizhou with troops, then what is the difference between us and Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others? Do the eldest princess and the court still want to be respected? Attacking Jizhou is tantamount to breaking with various states and counties. After the two sides fought, the Central Plains continued to fight, and the lives were devastated. Who will save the community? ”

Xun Yu and others suggested that on the basis of maintaining the status of the eldest princess and the imperial court, they should make appropriate concessions, and they could even promise Han Fu and Yuan Shao to move the eldest princess and the imperial court to Jizhou, but there was only one condition in northern Xinjiang, that is, to recover all the powers handed over by northern Xinjiang. Since Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others are unwilling to give up power, why should I give up power in Northern Xinjiang?

Xun Yu said: "This concession has nothing to lose to the northern frontier, and we have not only maintained the status of the eldest princess and the imperial court, but also met the demands of Jizhou and other prefectures and counties, and at the same time received appropriate assistance from them." Of course, in the case that the northern Xinjiang has not completely got rid of various crises, we will only attack Chang'an to alleviate our own difficulties, and we will no longer let the eldest princess and the court drive to fight Chang'an and go to King Qin to ask Dong. In the future, when Northern Xinjiang becomes stronger, we will try to rejuvenate the country. ”

Most of the people in the military did not agree to attack Jizhou, but they also did not agree with the opinions of Xun Yu and others to continue to attack Chang'an.

Chang Yuchun said: "Although the practice of supporting Liu Yu as emperor in various prefectures and counties on the surface has an attempt to destroy Liu Yu and seize power to control the imperial court, their real purpose is obviously to weaken and restrain the power of the lord. Once the northern Xinjiang gave in, Han Fu and Yuan Shao took control of the imperial court, and they pretended to take the opportunity of the three-way army to attack Chang'an, inducing us and Dong Zhuo to fight to the death, and the northern Xinjiang was bound to suffer heavy losses. ”

"Now that Han Fu and Yuan Shao's faces have been exposed, they are shameless, so are Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and Kong Ling also shameless? Just look at Sun Jian. At the beginning, when Sun Jian pretended to ask Dong to go north, he killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang, this kind of person is lawless and not trustworthy at all. For the sake of the position of the head of the family, Yuan Shu simply broke openly with Yuan Shao, and he and Yuan Shao were both the same dog. ”

"With these goods and us fighting Chang'an, how can we ensure that they do their best? If the Battle of Luoyang finally turns into a decisive battle between us and Dong Zhuo, then we will lose a lot. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu got Chang'an without much effort, and because of our lack of strength, it is very likely that we will be driven back to the north by them. ”

"The purpose of our earliest attempt to fight Dong Zhuo was to alleviate the crisis in northern Xinjiang for the grain in Jing and Henan, but now we have won Luoyang, the main road connecting the north and the south, and the tuntian in northern Xinjiang will be fully effective from this year, and the food crisis in northern Xinjiang has been greatly alleviated, so we don't need to attack Dong Zhuo in the short term."

"More than 200,000 troops are dominating northern Xinjiang, which is a huge threat to Dong Zhuo, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and everyone. As long as we maintain this powerful threat, we will have what we want, and who would dare not give? ”

Everyone in the big tent was arguing fiercely, and only Li Yi and Xu Da were silent.

Li Yi looked down at the map, and Xu Da sat next to the brazier and watched the dancing flames intently, not leisurely adding a few black charcoal to the brazier.

Chang Yuchun gave Xun Yu and the others a few words, his face was a little unbearable, he kicked Xu Da angrily, and said, "Tiande, you can also talk about it." Shouldn't you go to Jizhou? ”

When Li Yi heard this, he immediately looked up at Xu Da.

Xu Da smiled slightly and said, "Of course Jizhou wants to fight, but not now." ”

"Judging from the current situation, whether it is the Son of Heaven, the Chang'an Imperial Court, or the Quanzhou Imperial Court, they are no longer able to command various prefectures and counties. The reason is that Wen Qiao said that the prefectures and counties have tasted the sweetness of self-respect, and no one is willing to give up power to the powerless Son of Heaven and the imperial court. So do we. Whoever surrenders power in his hands is at risk of being swallowed up by other forces. Although we have the heart to save the community, but we don't even have our own lives, how can we save the community? As Beren said, we need to be strong. Only when we are strong can we be saved. ”

"The most powerful Han today is the lord, followed by Dong Zhuo, then Yuan Shao and some state and county officials who follow him, including Han Fu, and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. Others, such as Taifu in Qingzhou and Liu Yan in Yizhou, although they were loyal to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, they were either powerless because of the limited power in their hands or because they lived in remote places. Several major forces tried to stabilize the society, but for various reasons, none of them succeeded. ”

"Over the past year, we have made a lot of efforts to stabilize the community, but in the end they have all failed. This time, if the lord joins forces with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he will definitely be able to defeat Dong Zhuo, and the society will be stable in a few years, but we have all seen the results, some people don't want King Qin to ask Dong, and they don't want the society to be stable. Some people have ill intentions and want to overthrow the Han Dynasty, so now we have to face up to the reality, and the lord must set a rescue plan for the Han Society as soon as possible. ”

"The premise of this salvation strategy is that we must be strong, strong enough to deter other forces, enough to defeat other forces, so that we can talk about the rejuvenation of the country, otherwise it is all a fool's dream, and it is purely a move to bring disaster to the country and the people."

"For example, Jizhou. Taking Jizhou will indeed be of great help to northern Xinjiang and to saving Sheji, but now there are several unfavorable factors in attacking Jizhou. ”

"First, the lord was saddled with the responsibility of holding the eldest princess and the court hostage, and he was saddled with the crime of attacking the state and county without authorization. The reputation of the lord was damaged, which was very unfavorable to the future Qin Wang Xingguo. ”

"Second, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Dai are bound to do their best to protect Jizhou for their own survival, and we will definitely face a counterattack by hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition, if the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro takes the opportunity to go down the mountain, and the three armies fight repeatedly, Jizhou will immediately be in ruins. We want a complete Jizhou, not a ruin.

"Third, the war in Jizhou has caused disasters for displaced people, and northern Xinjiang is definitely the first choice for displaced people to avoid disasters, but now northern Xinjiang can no longer carry more displaced people, otherwise the problem will be very serious."

"Fourth, if Dong Zhuo takes the opportunity to send troops and wants to recapture Luoyang, we will have to fight on both battlefields at the same time. At that time, the army could not take care of both the end of the army, and there was a serious shortage of grain and grass. Even if we are barely defeated, the collapse of the northern frontier is an inevitable fact. ”

"These are four unsolvable problems, the lord can't solve them, and we can't solve them. In other words, now that we are fighting Jizhou, not only will we not be able to strengthen the northern Xinjiang, but we will quickly bury the northern Xinjiang. ”

After Xu Da finished speaking, it was quiet in the big tent. The generals pondered for a long time and turned their eyes to look at Li Yi.

The final decision is still up to the lord. (To be continued.) )
