Yuan Shu briefly introduced his subordinates, and then said with great admiration: "Only a true martial artist can do this, which of you can do it?" If it were me, I wouldn't want to. The general of the dignified Han Kingdom, the hero who shocked the world, actually let several of his wives show their heads, can you imagine? ”

Li Yi can do this, which shows that he is loyal and has no ambition, which is too important to the first emperor. Therefore, the first emperor favored and trusted Li Yi even more, and specially gave Li Yi an edict before he died. Without this edict, the son would have died long ago. If at the beginning of the young emperor's succession, the great general He Jin could kill today's son, where would there be today's affairs? It is precisely because of the existence of Xiao Donghou that there is a dispute over the imperial system, and it is precisely because of the dispute over the imperial system that there is today's disaster. ”

Yang Hong looked at Yuan Shu and said slowly: "Lord, what do you mean by this, do you mean that the hussar general has another strategy to solve the crisis in Gyeonggi?" Since he is loyal to the previous emperor, he will naturally obey the holy decree of the current son, but in this way, he and we have formed an antagonism, and we have formed a grudge against each other, where is his solution? ”

Yang Hong is a person from Hongnong Yang Valve and a cousin of Yang Biao. The Son of Heaven issued an edict to take the ancient scriptures as the official school, and set up a postdoctoral fellow in the ancient scriptures, Yang Hong responded to the appointment of Yang Biao in Beijing, and rushed to Luoyang with his disciples to support and demonstrate outside the gate of the North Palace.

When the Northern Army washed the Suzaku Gate, many of Yang Hong's disciples died, and he himself was driven out of the capital. Yang Hong didn't dare to go home, so he took refuge in Yingchuan with his friend Yan Xiang. Yuan Shu recruited troops to fight against Dong in Luyang, and conquered the world's famous people, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and Xun Zheng of the Xun family all received Yuan Shu's conquest, so the three of them joined the ranks of the army to fight against Dong without hesitation.

Yuan Shu sighed: "Now that Dong Zhuo has returned to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven, Li Yi is sitting back and watching. Yuan Shao was blocked in the Yellow River, we were defeated in successive battles, and the ant thief rebellion broke out in Yan, Qing, and Xu. ”

Xun Zheng nodded and said, "The lord is reasonable. It was Dong Zhuo who harmed the country, and it was Dong Zhuo who killed Taifu. We are also going to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but we are not opposed to inheriting the imperial throne today, which is different from Yuan Shao, and the reason why Yuan Shao did not immediately get the full support of the Yuan lords is that this is the original dilemma. He not only opposed today's son inheriting the imperial system, but also slandered that today's son was not born by the first emperor, and Yuan Shao went too far. The lord said that the hussar general was a real warrior, which means that the hussar general was absolutely loyal to the present day. In this respect, we are in agreement with the hussars. ”

Yan Xiang glanced at Xun Zheng in surprise. He looked at Yuan Shu, who bowed his head and was silent, and asked cautiously: "What do you mean, are you making peace with the hussar general?" Do you think that if we make peace with the hussar general, the lord will be able to enter Beijing? ”

Yang Hong also heard the sound of Xun Zheng's words, and he hurriedly said: "Although the hussar general is under the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, he doesn't seem to have the intention of joining forces with Dong Zhuo. Did you find that although the Xiliang army won successive victories on the battlefield, Dong Zhuo himself returned to Chang'an. Can we guess that. Dong Zhuo was forced by the hussar general and had to retreat to Chang'an? ”

That's exactly what Zhu Jun's letter meant. So he desperately wants us to enter Luoyang immediately," Li Ye said in bewilderment, "But why did Li Yi sit back and watch us being attacked by the Xiliang army, and even hinted that Gongsun Zhan would not send troops?" Is Li Yi really going to enter Luoyang? ”

Yuan Shu shook his hand and asked, "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of our entry into Luoyang?" ”

"After occupying Luoyang. The lord can shock the world. Then the lord can force the hussar general to join forces with us, and in the name of the Qing monarch and the emperor, order the soldiers and horses of the prefectures and counties of the world to attack Chang'an from the east, south, and north and kill Dong Zhuo. Save the Son of Heaven. Yan Xiang said quickly and skillfully, "But if we make peace with the hussar general, it will be difficult to say about this matter." Now the hussar general is sitting back and watching Dong Zhuo's army attack us, and we have become incompatible, if everyone is not afraid of his strength, worried that he will sweep the world with all his strength, I am afraid that he and Dong Zhuo will be put together and called him a thief. ”

"You're right, you're right." Yuan Shu slapped the case suddenly, pointed at Yan Xiang and said, "That's the reason. We are loyal to today, not to the young emperor. We are begging for Dong, not for Li, this is something that everyone in the world knows.

"Now, we have suffered consecutive defeats, our strength and morale have been dealt a heavy blow, and it is impossible to continue to attack north. What about keeping? If Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong wiped out Sun Jian and fell down, we would not be able to hold Nanyang. What about retreat? I can't retreat, not because there is a rebellion in the south, but because of this head of the Yuan family. As soon as I retreated, it was equivalent to giving up the position of head of the family to Yuan Shao, and I became a coward and the object of ridicule of the world. ”

Yuan Shu said helplessly: "I can't retreat, and I can't get the position of head of the family if I stick to it, so I can only go north." I only need to attack Luoyang to get the position of the head of the family, so how can I enter Luoyang? ”

"Shake hands?" Li Ye glared and said, "You want to shake hands and make peace?" And with whom? Li Yi or Dong Zhuo? ”

"I am loyal to today, and I am determined to please Dong, of course, I have joined forces with the hussar general." Yuan Shu said with a hippie smile, "Did I say something wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Yang Hong and the others were at a loss for a while.

Yuan Shu's words sounded reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong. When Dong Zhuo was still in Luoyang, Yuan Shu scolded Li Yi and almost killed the messenger, but now that Dong Zhuo is no longer in Luoyang, his attitude towards Li Yi immediately took a big turn. No wonder he just said that he admired Li Yi very much, it turned out that it was for this sentence.

"Lord, you must consider the reason why Dong Zhuo left Luoyang." Xun Zheng hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but persuade, "If Dong Zhuo is forced away by Li Yi, then the situation in Gyeonggi will be completely controlled by Li Yi." But now the army of Northern Xinjiang is still nesting in the prairie and has not moved, and even the iron cavalry he led to the south, as well as Gongsun Zhan's army, are also hesitating in the Xiangcheng area, what does this mean? ”

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "It shows that Li Yi decided not to let anyone into Luoyang, including himself." It is necessary to quickly stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi as quickly as possible, so as to mobilize a large army to quell the ant thief rebellion in Yanqing and Xuzhou. ”

Li Ye, Yang Hong, Xun Zheng, and Yan Xiang were dumbfounded: Yuan Shu knew the development of the situation in Gyeonggi better than anyone else?!

"As I said, I admire Li Yi very much, Li Yi is a real martial artist." Yuan Shu looked at the four of them and said with a triumphant smile, "Li Yi forced Dong Zhuo away, and also made the Kwantung Coalition Army fail, which bought him enough time to solve the crisis in northern Xinjiang. Now that spring plowing is also being carried out in various parts of northern Xinjiang as scheduled, what will he do next? ”

"Counterinsurgency." Yuan Shu spread out the map on the desk, pointed to Taihang Mountain and Mount Tai and said, "I thought about it for a long time before I figured out why Li Yi would let the Xiliang army attack us continuously. He is against us like this, as if he is not afraid of the world spitting on him as Dong Zhuo's lackey, and he is not afraid of affecting his reputation, the reason is the ant thief riot in Qingzhou. ”

"Dong Zhuo's chaotic government is, in the final analysis, an internal matter of the imperial court. Although Dong Zhuo is a disaster to the country, he is far inferior to the general Liang Yi and those traitorous eunuchs, and of course not as good as Wang Mang. We can solve it internally, and there is no need to raise an army of 200,000 to fight him like today, which is a bit of a fuss. ”

"Look at how many states and counties around the country support us to fight for Dong? Calling back and forth. In fact, it is all the forces of our Yuan family that are charging into battle, we don't know it ourselves, and we think that everyone in the world is supporting us, and we are still complacent here. I didn't know that the catastrophe was coming. ”

"Once the ant thief riot spreads, we will bear the brunt of it, and the two places in northern Xinjiang and Guanzhong will be safe. By the time all our forces have been thrown into the counterinsurgency, we will not be far from death. At that time, if we don't want Dong Zhuo and Li Yi to send troops, we ourselves will be defeated. ”

"Whether it is military strength or financial resources, we cannot compare with the imperial court when the Zhang Jiao rebellion was quelled. The scourge of ant thieves is all over the country, who is scolded by the people of the world? Do you scold Dong Zhuo and Li Yi, or scold us? We surrounded Luoyang, trapped Dong Zhuo and Li Yi's troops here, and didn't even admit it today, and as a result, no one could go to quell the rebellion. You say, "Who does the world scold?" Who is the one who killed my big man?

"It's us, it's my Yuan family." Yuan Shu pointed to his nose and shouted at the top of his voice, "The current righteousness is not to seek Dong, but to counter the rebellion." Not only can Dong not save the big man, but he wants to kill my big man. Only by quelling the rebellion, only by killing all the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Taihang Mountain and the ant thieves in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou, can we save the Han Dynasty and keep the community, this is the great righteousness, do you know? ”

"Li Yi saw this, so he allowed Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong to wantonly attack us in the Yingchuan area. We were defeated, and we were powerless to attack Luoyang, and we were even more powerless to quell the rebellion, at this time Li Yi stood up and said loudly that I was going to suppress the rebellion, and I was going to save the Han Sheji, and whoever stopped me would be the traitor of the Han. You see, Li Yi is a hero again, and the people of the entire Han Kingdom are cheering, and no one will remember that he once sat back and watched Dong Zhuo of the Western Liang Army attack us. The world only knows that the most courageous hero of my Han Dynasty has come to save the Han Society from danger again. ”

"What about Dong Zhuo at this time? He has lost everything, and can only stay in Guanzhong to survive. What about us? We are pitiful, like a tiger whose teeth have been knocked out and its sharp claws have been pulled out, and we can only obediently follow him to quell the rebellion. ”

This is Li Yi's strategy to solve the Gyeonggi crisis. He got all the righteousness, fame, and power, and we became his tools, at his mercy. In the future, the ant thieves will be pacified, with Li Yi's prestige and strength, how can Dong Zhuo be his opponent? We're even worse, and we guess we've already killed him. (To be continued.) )
