Just when Li Yi was searching for talents in Yingchuan, Sun Jian, who rushed to Yangcheng in advance, was in trouble.

While Sun Jian and his subordinates were hesitating about whether to continue the attack, the later general Yuan Shu was striding back and headed directly towards Wancheng, the Nanyang Governance Office. The army of the hussar general Li Yi and the army of Sun Zhan, the prime minister of Hejian State, stopped at Yangzhai City, saying that they were waiting for the hussar general to catch up.

Yuan Shu wrote to Sun Jian and said: "Wentai, come back, don't fight." If you think about how fast the hussar general marched in the past, now, his army is all cavalry, and the speed of the march is not even comparable to our infantry. Therefore, we don't expect him to fight with Gongsun Chan in this battle, we still take retreat as the best policy. ”

Sun Jian was so angry that he scolded. He and his subordinates knew that this time they were in charge of Yuan Shu. He went all the way north and killed Jingzhou Assassin Shi and Nanyang Taishou in a row, but the result was that Yuan Shu got Jingzhou and Nanyang without much effort.

"This is also called asking for Dong?" Huang Gai scolded, "I think this is for him Yuan Valve to fight the world." ”

"Lord, let's go back." Zhu Zhi whispered, "The chaos is about to begin, if the lord can ensure Changsha, it is a good strategy for self-preservation." ”

"Can't go back." Zu Mao said hurriedly persuaded, "Wang Rui and Zhang Shi have been killed by us, and the lord has now ridden on the back of the tiger to ask for Dong, and he can't come down if he wants to, so he can only continue to fight." ”

When Sun Jian and the others were at a loss, Sun Jian's nephew, Sun Ben, the governor of Changsha Prefecture, walked in with a person. When Sun Jian saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Jingming, why are you here?" ”

The young man bowed down and said, "Brother Wentai is good. The teacher is now Henan Yin, and when he heard that you had arrived in Gyeonggi, he was very happy and asked me to find you as quickly as possible. ”

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this. "The teacher is still in Luoyang?"

The young man said, "Yes, it's in the city." ”

Sun Jian stood up and introduced to everyone with a smile: "This is Ding Li, a disciple of my teacher Zhu Jun, and he is my classmate. ”

Ding Li is relatively thin, with a pair of very delicate eyes, and he is not in a hurry or slow to speak, gentle and elegant. He gave a brief account of what had happened in Luoyang in the last few months, and then said, "Teacher, let me tell you that the hussar general's series of actions in the past ten days have already shown his intention to attack Dong Zhuo. It is highly likely that the Northern Xinjiang Army will launch a fierce attack on Gyeonggi in the near future. The teacher hopes that Brother Wentai can take the Son of Heaven as the priority and the Sheji as the priority, and make every effort to storm the three passes of Dagu, Yuyuan, and Yique, so that he can quickly take Luoyang with the hussar generals and the soldiers and horses of various prefectures and counties, and approach Chang'an, eliminate the traitorous King Qin, and revitalize the Han Dynasty. ”

Sun Jian was silent.

Zhu Zhi asked, "Can you ask General Zhu what he thinks of the current hussar general's hesitant behavior in Yingchuan?" ”

Ding Li said calmly: "The key is here. The hussar general was dragged down by the northern frontier and had been hesitant to send troops to fight against King Dong Qin. Plainly. He is also too selfish, greedy for small profits and loses big profits, only cares about his own northern Xinjiang, and completely ignores the safety of our Han Sheji. Regardless of the suffering of the Son of Heaven, the unpredictability of his heart can be seen from this. The hussar generals wanted to maintain stability in Luoyang, but they also did not want to fight. So what does he do? So he thought of a tripartite strategy of checks and balances, and a strategy of defeating the society. ”

"Three checks and balances?" Sun Jian asked in surprise, "Hussar General." Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao? What about the Son of Heaven? What about the imperial court? This plan is successful, where do they put my Han Emperor? Where is my Han court? Where is the law of the Han in my place? This is the policy of destroying the country. ”

"Yes, so the teacher has to try to break this checks and balances." Ding Li said, "At this time, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court urgently need the help of Brother Wentai. As long as Brother Wentai launched a fierce attack from the south, Yuan Shao launched a fierce attack from the northeast, and the hussar general was forced by the situation, and he couldn't fight if he wanted to. As long as we are determined to conquer Luoyang, the situation of checks and balances will not appear, and it will be possible for the society to be preserved. ”

Sun Jian didn't hesitate anymore, and smashed his fist on the case, "Tomorrow, we will attack Yangren City." ”

………………

In mid-March, Hanoi District, Huai Thanh.

Yuan Shao's army won the first battle since joining the Dong army, and Zhang Yang and 10,000 northern troops were surrounded in Wen County, but this good news did not bring Yuan Shao the slightest joy, and he was overwhelmed by the urgent reports from all over the country.

Da Sima, Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong asked Yuan Shao for help, saying that the ant thieves were too powerful, and the whole territory of Qingzhou had been in danger of war, and several large cities in Linzi and Beihai were besieged by the main force of the ant thieves day and night, and they were in danger.

Taishan Taishou Ding Yuan told Yuan Shao urgently, saying that the main force of the ant thieves had moved to Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and it was estimated that one million ant thieves would enter the two states in the near future, and asked Yuan Shao to agree to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and quickly quell the rebellion to ensure the stability of Zhou County.

Yu Poison, the leader of the ant thieves in Taihang Mountain, Hanoi County, led his subordinates down the mountain to plunder, and the leaders of the black mountain ant thieves, Bai Huan and Ku Chief, led a large army to attack Chaoge City in Hanoi County and Yecheng, the seat of Wei County, Jizhou. The grain route of Hanoi's army was cut off in an instant. Yuan Shao has already ordered Chun Yuqiong to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but who knows when the grain road will be able to return to normal?

These news is not serious news, after all, this is just some ant thief rebellion that everyone is accustomed to, and it is also a long-expected ant thief rebellion, and the more serious news comes from the Beijing Luoyang, Dong Zhuo, who returned to Luoyang from the Tiger Prison Pass, on March 18, ordered the death of the Taifu Yuan Kui, the Taifu Yuan Ji, and more than 50 members of the Yuan family.

This news directly made Yuan Shaoqi vomit blood and fall into a coma.

………………

In March, Luoyang.

The westward migration of the Son of Heaven arrived in Chang'an on the fifth day of the first month of this month. With the efforts of Zhao Qian, Situ Wang Yun and Sikong Xun Shuang, who presided over the westward migration, the Son of Heaven, the ministers and officials, and all the palaces and offices of the imperial court were properly settled. Xiangguo Dong Zhuo was very satisfied, and played the Son of Heaven several times, asking for a reward for the three ministers, especially Situ Wang Yun.

When Wang Yun was serving as Henan Yin, he won Dong Zhuo's trust because he was obedient, hypocritical, and obedient. After he was worshiped as a servant, because of his strong support for the westward migration, he actively arranged all matters for the westward migration, and was even more praised by Dong Zhuo, and was immediately worshiped by Situ and entrusted with the important task of presiding over the westward migration.

Wang Yun's flattery and loss of integrity were despised and criticized by many ministers and ministers in the DPRK and China. Wang Yun was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard, and just buried his head in things. Yuntai's classics, temple utensils and palace utensils were moved to Chang'an by him at a very fast pace.

After Wang Yun arrived in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo immediately entrusted all the government to Wang Yun, and he had full authority to handle state affairs, and trusted him very much, and Wang Yun did not live up to Dong Zhuo's trust, arranged the government steadily, and also took advantage of this opportunity to place many of his protégés and friends in Sanfu County and the court.

Wang Yun's despicable behavior made the ministers grit their teeth and hate, and they all played to impeach Wang Yun.

However, the more the minister played the impeachment of Wang Yun, the more Dong Zhuo trusted him.

At this time, a lot of bad news came from Chang'an.

First of all, Xun Di, a captain under the command of the hussar general, led the 24th Army of the Xinzi Regiment of the Northern Xinjiang Army stationed in Bingzhou, and appeared in Shangjun north of Fengyi County, threatening the safety of Chang'an.

Then the auxiliary general Zhao Yun sent the general Lu Bu to lead the third army of the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army into Xiaoguan in the name of preparing for the construction of the Horse Garden, and the troops were stationed at the northern foot of Liupan Mountain, which vaguely threatened Chang'an.

What's more serious is that Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Xiliang rebels took advantage of the Gyeonggi chaos to start attacking Hanyang County.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already agreed to Li Yi's checks and balances. Li Ru had already quietly gone to Yingchuan to discuss specific measures with Li Yi, so the threat to the north of Chang'an would soon be lifted.

As for the matter of the Xiliang rebels, Dong Zhuo is also confident. He, Han Sui, and Ma Teng are all old friends in Western Xinjiang. Now that he is in charge of power, he can fully meet the conditions proposed by Han Sui and Ma Teng. What's more, he already had the intention of appeasing them, and with these two people in Western Xinjiang, he didn't have to worry about being attacked on his back.

Although Dong Zhuo was not worried about others threatening Chang'an, he was extremely worried about the people of Chang'an and Western Xinjiang breaking out into rebellion. Food shortages have become the key to surviving the crisis.

The price of grain in Guanzhong has risen to 8,000 yuan a stone, but no matter how the price of grain rises, it is a fact that Guanzhong is short of grain. If there is no grain in Guanzhong, the western Xinjiang will naturally be in danger.

At present, the gate valves in Guanzhong and Guanxi are forced by the situation and have successively opened warehouses to sell grain. However, the limited quantity of this grain is a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of people in Guanzhong, Guanxi and Western Xinjiang.

In order to solve the food problem, Wang Yun put forward a proposal. Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi killed Sun Jian, and now Nanyang is occupied by the later general Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu can be defeated and Nanyang can be recaptured, then the food problem will be solved.

Nanyang is the largest county in the Han Kingdom, rich in the world, with Nanyang's current grain storage to support Guanzhong, Guanzhong can not be eaten for three years. For this reason, Wang Yun suggested that Dong Zhuo appoint Yang Zhan, the captain of Huqiang, to be the left general of the military, and Sun Rui, the Jin Wushi, to be the Taishou of Nanyang, and together with the Zhonglang general Duan Xuan, he led the army out of Wuguan to attack Wancheng in the south.

Wuguan is located on the east bank of the Danshui River in Yinshang County, Jingzhao, is the south gate of Guanzhong, and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, Dasan Pass are combined to be called Guanzhong Four Fortresses, and it is also one of the four fortresses of the ancient Qin State.

Wang Yun said: "Yang Zan is a person from Yang Valve in Hongnong County, and Shisun Rui is a scholar family in Fufeng County, well-known in the world. Both of them have a certain reputation among the Nanyang Gate Valve. After arriving in Nanyang, they could quickly get the support and response of the local gate valve, which helped to defeat Yuan Shu. ”

This suggestion made Dong Zhuo very moved. Launching an attack from the back of Nanyang County, Yuan Shu's army may be defeated very much, and once Yuan Shu is defeated and occupies Nanyang, it can not only solve the food shortage in Guanzhong, but also deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the rebels, and quickly reverse the unfavorable situation in front of them.

It's just that Dong Zhuo is worried that after Yang Zan and Shi Sun Rui leave Wuguan, if they betray themselves and join forces with the rebels to attack Guanzhong, then things will be in trouble.

Are Wang Yun and these people very reliable? (To be continued.) )
