"The lord wants to turn his face with Liu Biao and Kuai Yue?" Yang Hong asked in surprise.

"It's better to turn your face now than to be killed by them in the future." Yuan Shu sneered, "Yuan Benchu, this kid is too much, the family wants to rob me, Luoyang wants to rob me, and now even the place where he stays has to rob me ......" Yuan Shu scolded angrily, and then smashed a punch on the case, "I'm going to kill him." ”

"Lord, the war with Dong Zhuo and the counterinsurgency ......" Xun Zheng stopped when he wanted to speak.

Now the army is still in a state of war with the Xiliang army, and it is not something that can be let go if you want to. Moreover, not participating in the counterinsurgency had too much impact on Yuan Shu's reputation.

"I am a rear general, Sun Jian is a broken general, and he is controlled by me, so his sending troops to quell the rebellion is equivalent to me sending troops to quell the rebellion." Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "What's more, the food and salary of the counterinsurgency army are all provided by me and Kong Ling, isn't it enough that I have done so much?" ”

"Lord, our money and food are limited, if we supply three battlefields at the same time, I'm afraid it will be ......," Yan Xiang said worriedly, "Is the attack on Xiangyang postponed for a while?" ”

"At present, there is a rebellion in Nanjun, Changsha, and Wuling counties, and we are forcing Xiangyang at this time, Liu Biao must not be able to take care of the end, and there is only one way to escape." Yuan Shu said resolutely, "Hit Xiangyang immediately." If we can't keep our homes, what kind of king are we doing? What kind of adultery is excepted? ”

………………

In mid-July, the hussar general personally led more than 50,000 troops into Xuzhou to quell the rebellion. And Sun Zhan, the prime minister of Hejian State, heard that Yuan Shao was plotting to enter Jizhou, so he hurriedly led his headquarters and rushed back to Hejian State.

At the same time, Ji Ling and Qiao Rui led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xiangyang.

The reason why Yuan Shu dared to send troops south to attack Xiangyang was because Dong Zhuo, who was in Chang'an, did something stupid.

Originally. Because of Yuan Shu's blockade of Guanzhong, the people of Guanzhong were panicked, and the price of grain rose several times a day, and a stone of millet was sold for an astonishing 20,000 yuan. Although Dong Zhuo repeatedly added money to the ministers and the soldiers of the Northern Army, everyone still couldn't afford to buy food. The dignitaries and nobles were hungry, not to mention the ordinary people in the city.

Dong Zhuo and the ministers discussed countermeasures. Situ Wang Yun caught out the abolition of the five-baht coin. Recast small coins to tide over the difficulties.

Taiwei Zhao Qian and Sikong Chongfu strongly opposed (in May, Sikong Xunshuang died of illness, and Guanglu Doctor Chongfu succeeded Sikong), believing that although this policy could solve the urgent need, it would cause endless troubles.

Jiuqing Zhuqing and other ministers had mixed reactions, some in favor and some in disapproval. In order to stop this matter, Ma Riyan and others united a group of ministers who opposed the abolition of the five penalty. even went to the Xiangguo Mansion to admonish each other to death.

Of course, Dong Zhuo knows the consequences of abolishing the five sentences, but how to solve the current crisis in Guanzhong? If you want everyone to buy food and eat your stomach, you need more money, but the speed at which Shanglin Sanguan minted money was far from keeping up with the speed of food price increases, and the only way was to change the big money to small money.

Dong Zhuo thought that if Chang'an was in chaos at this time, Li Yi would take the opportunity to come in. I'm done, let's get through this for a while. Anyway, the ones who know that minting small money endangers the society are these gate lords, scholars, and ministers in the court. Most of these people have money, and some of them have a lot of food at home, so they don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, and there are many people among these people who are in favor.

The proposal to abolish the five money was passed with the arguments of the ministers and Dong Zhuo's insistence.

In mid-June, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to abolish the five punishments. Switch to small money. At the end of the month, the Son of Heaven sent a decree to Mount Tai, abolishing the five-baht coin and using small coins instead.

Li Yi did not hesitate and gave the order categorically. The road from Shangjun to Sanfu was immediately blocked, and the roads between Shangdang and Xihe counties and Hedong and Hanoi were also blocked by Li Yi's order, and all goods and colonies with Guanzhong, Guanxi, and Kanto were cut off.

Li Yi wrote to the Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo urgently, explaining in detail the harm of abolishing the five-baht coin to the community, and begging the Son of Heaven to immediately restore the use and circulation of the five-baht coin.

In order to ease relations with Dong Zhuo, Li Yi specially sent an envoy to Chang'an to express the views and countermeasures of northern Xinjiang on the current situation, hoping that Dong Zhuo would not deliberately destroy the checks and balances and bring about his own destruction.

With Li Yi and Yuan Shu successively ordering the blockade of the main roads leading to Guanzhong, Guandong and Guanxi, Chang'an and Luoyang gradually fell into an even greater predicament. Dong Zhuo, in the name of the Son of Heaven, successively issued edicts to Li Yi and Yuan Shu, asking them to open the pass, but the two turned a deaf ear, not only did not cancel the intention of the blockade, but strictly ordered the local government offices to arrest them immediately as long as they found that someone was using small money, and would not tolerate it.

The deepening crisis in Gyeonggi and the constant coercion of Li Yi and Yuan Shu made Dong Zhuo gradually lose confidence in checks and balances, and he had to find a way for his own survival.

Dong Zhuo ordered Huangfuhong and Dong Yue to take the initiative to attack Han Sui and Ma Teng, and at the same time played the Son of Heaven and put forward a proposal to appease the rebels of Xiliang.

The Son of Heaven agreed to Dong Zhuo's request, and ordered Han Sui to be worshiped as a guerrilla general, Ma Teng as a partial general, and Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and other rebel leaders were also worshiped as school captains and captains. Shangshu Liu Ai and Shizhong Chongji immediately went to Xiliang to appease them.

………………

Since Li Yi and Yuan Shu ordered to sever their trade with Gyeonggi, the Son of Heaven has issued successive orders, and the ministers of Xiangguo Dong Zhuo and the Three Princes have also issued urgent letters in succession, urging Li Yi and Yuan Shu to obey the decree of the Son of Heaven and immediately reopen the pass.

At present, there is a shortage of materials in the Gyeonggi area, and the people are living in great difficulty, and they urgently need help from northern Xinjiang and Jing, Henan and other prefectures and counties, but Li Yi and Yuan Shu have no intention of relenting.

Li Yi played the Son of Heaven, either immediately abolishing the small money, or taking five baht to buy goods in northern Xinjiang, bartering is also fine, in short, northern Xinjiang resolutely prohibits the use of small money.

Li Yi said in the recital: "The ministers obeyed the will of the first emperor, guarded and governed the northern Xinjiang, defended the Gyeonggi, and defended the society. The minister believes that His Majesty's proposal to abolish the five-baht coin is a move that harms the country and the people. His Majesty was too young to be able to observe state affairs, and because he was trapped by his courtiers, he had the loss of today. His Majesty should make amends for the loss of the sheep and immediately issue an edict to abolish the small money and reintroduce the five-baht money to stabilize the world. ”

Yuan Shu did not give advice to the Son of Heaven, nor did he reply to the ministers of Shangqing, but directly ordered the soldiers stationed at various passes to strictly prohibit anyone in Gyeonggi from setting foot in Jing and Henan, not even the envoys of the Son of Heaven.

Gyeonggi was completely cut off from Jing and Henan, and northern Xinjiang became the only hope for Gyeonggi.

The Son of Heaven gave an edict to Princess Wannian, who was still in the northern Xinjiang, and asked her to persuade Li Yi. Ministers such as Taiwei Zhao Qian, Situ Wang Yun, and Sikong Chongfu also urgently contacted the officials of the northern Xinjiang provinces through their various connections, asking them to put the Son of Heaven, Sheji, and the people of Gyeonggi first, and try every means to persuade Li Yi to open the pass.

In this way, even Li Yi, who was far away in Mount Tai, felt the huge pressure from the northern Xinjiang provinces and had to reopen the gallop of Shangjun. But whether he himself or the officials of the northern Xinjiang provinces, there is one thing that they have the same understanding. The Gyeonggi prefectures and the clan could come to northern Xinjiang to buy various necessities other than grain, such as salt. But it must be five baht or barter, and no one in northern Xinjiang will accept a small amount of money.

As a result, there was a very embarrassing scene in the Han Kingdom, where small coins were used in various parts of Gyeonggi, and five baht coins were used in northern Xinjiang and other prefectures and counties, and there were two currency systems in one country.

The actions of northern Xinjiang angered Dong Zhuo and the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Li Yi's expression in the recital and the explanation of the head of the envoy sent by Li Yi to Chang'an are very ornate and reasonable, but they cannot hide their true purpose at all. Li Yi wanted to join forces with the Kwantung princes, first help them quell the ant thief riots in various places, and then get their sufficient money and food support, so that the northern Xinjiang could quickly overcome the crisis.

Li Yi may have wanted to wait until northern Xinjiang recovered to attack Chang'an and welcome the Son of Heaven back to Beijing to take charge.

But from the perspective of the Kwantung princes, it was impossible for them to let Li Yi get his wish. Northern Xinjiang is strong, and they only have to be slaughtered, so they must use the advantage of sufficient money and food to restrain Northern Xinjiang, and threaten Li Yi to agree with them to abolish the current son and rebuild the imperial system.

From Li Yi's point of view, it is impossible for him not to think of this, and it can be seen from his proposal of checks and balances that he has recognized the two powerful forces of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. In other words, Li Yi may have made preparations to abolish the current son and rebuild the imperial system as a last resort.

For the current Li Yi, the interests of Northern Xinjiang are much higher than the interests of the Han Sheji, and higher than the interests of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court.

Under the pretext of opposing the abolition of the five-baht coin by the Son of Heaven, Li Yi and Yuan Shu blockaded Gyeonggi from the north and south, and at the same time, Li Yi put down the rebellion in Yanqing and Xusanzhou, does this mean that Li Yi and the Kwantung princes have reached some kind of agreement that is unfavorable to the Son of Heaven and Sheji?

If Li Yi decided to give up his current son, with the help of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and other Kwantung princes, he would join forces in many ways, and Luoyang and Chang'an would definitely fall.

At present, the blockade of the three parties has put Gyeonggi in a desperate situation, and the food and salary of more than 100,000 troops has become an unsolvable problem, and once this problem turns into a rebellion, Luoyang and Chang'an will be defeated.

The expedition to the desert greatly damaged the vitality of the imperial court, so after the state and county rebelled, whether it was Li Yi or Dong Zhuo, neither of them wanted to fight, and they both wanted to use the checks and balances to win time to recover.

Now Li Yi bought this time at the expense of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, but Dong Zhuo got nothing. On the contrary, he was driven to a dead end, and he had no choice but to break through the encirclement with a large army, to fight, to rob, and to die and then live.

Dong Zhuo proposed to take the initiative to send troops to attack Shangjun, Xihe, Shangdang, Yanzhou, Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Dong Zhuo wants to beat Li Yi, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu at the same time, all three, where there is grain to grab.

Dong Zhuo said: "The purpose of our attack is to undermine the checks and balances and solve the problem of money and food, and the destruction of checks and balances is the most important thing. We first attacked Shangjun, Xihe and Shangdang, and stationed heavy troops in Luoyang, cutting off the Kwantung passage from Jingyu and Henan to northern Xinjiang. In this way, Li Yi could not get Yuan Shu's help, he could only turn to Yuan Shao for help, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had turned against each other, and he could not get Yuan Shu's help. In this way, Li Yi and Yuan Shao will fight for Jizhou's money and food. You must know that after the ant thieves rioted in Yanqing and Xusanzhou, there was basically no harvest in the fields this year, and they could only count on Jizhou's money and grain to live. ”
