"There are some things that Wentai may not know yet." Li Yi picked up a few volumes of documents and handed them to Sun Jian, "In March, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro led 300,000 troops down the mountain and went straight to Yanzhou, and now they may have successfully crossed the river. With Yuan Shao's little people, he can't stop Bai Huan at all. ”

At the same time, the Yuyan Yellow Turban Army launched an attack on Yanzhou East County, intending to get close to the Yellow River and join the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro. Once the two Yellow Turban armies meet, Jizhou will definitely be invaded. In this case, Jizhou itself is difficult to protect, where does Jizhou Mu Hanfu still have food to supply my northern army to attack Chang'an? ”

Li Yi was really speechless, last autumn, he pacified the Yellow Turban Army in the four prefectures of Yuyanqing, Xu and moved a large part of the displaced people to northern Xinjiang, but as soon as he turned around, the local princes forced out a large area of the Yellow Turban Army, so that these places fell into war again. Li Yi thinks that after all the people in these places are moved to the north and no one is left, then there will be no more Yellow Turban Army in these places?

"I won't go into Luoyang." Li Yi said, "The main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army will not enter Luoyang, but in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, I must station an appropriate number of troops in Luoyang." This is to ensure the smooth flow of northern Xinjiang and Jing and Henan, and to ensure that our northern Xinjiang army can continue to receive grain from Jing and Henan after losing the supply of food and salary from Jizhou. ”

After reading those documents, Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and asked: "Asking for King Dong Qin is the top priority of my big man, and all the prefectures and counties will definitely give their full support, so why does the general have to garrison troops in Luoyang and cause unnecessary trouble?" ”

Li Yi looked at Sun Jian and asked meaningfully, "Brother Wentai, you won't tell me that Yuan Shu is in Luoyang now, right?" Nowadays, there are a few people who want to please Dong, and how many people want to be Qinwang, don't you know? ”

"Anyone can say this to save the community and revitalize the community." Li Yi sneered, "But after all, how many people have really done it?" If Yuan Shao wanted to really please King Dong Qin, how could he let you be the first to enter Hangu Pass? Where is he now? Where is Yuan Shu? ”

Sun Jian was speechless. Remembering that Yuan Shu had cut off his food and grass last month and almost pushed himself into the abyss of defeat, he immediately understood Li Yi's worries. The army is defeated, what social system will be saved? I have become food in the mouths of others. The way of the world has changed, and it has become more and more cruel and bloody, and there is less and less loyalty.

"Zhu Gongwei is loyal to the country and swears to King Qin, but has he thought about it, does the court also want King Qin? Do you want to be the king immediately? Li Yi slapped the table angrily, "When I entered Beijing, all the states and counties were worried that I was Dong Zhuo's second, but what about them?" Where were they when I was fighting bloodily? Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Liu Dai, and Kong Ling, no matter what their purpose, they sent troops and food, and also raised the banner of fighting Dong, but what about other state and county officials? What are they doing? They have suffered the emperor's favor, why are they indifferent at this time, allowing the Son of Heaven to suffer, the society to be robbed, and the lives to be ruined? These people are the traitors of the Han Dynasty, and it is these indifferent and shameless state and county officials who betray the Son of Heaven and betray the Han Dynasty, these people are more hateful, more vicious, and more despicable than Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu. These people should all be killed, and they are innocent. ”

Sun Jian bowed his head and was silent. Li Yi's words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, making him feel the pain of his heart, and at the same time making him feel a deep existential crisis.

"If the situation has become so bad, I'm afraid this year's fight against Dong Qinwang will end here." Sun Jian sighed, "Yuan Shu and Liu Biao have been fighting fiercely for more than a month in order to compete for Jingzhou. I promised Yuan Shu that after conquering the land of Gyeonggi, I would go back and help him defeat Liu Biao. Looks like it's time for me to go back too. ”

Now the situation is obvious, Jizhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou have occupied a decisive position in the fight against Dong Qinwang. Whoever can occupy these three states will have money and grain, and will have the power to control the imperial court and the fate of the rise and fall of the society. Now that King Dong Qin has come to an end, what are you still doing here? Waiting to die?

Sun Jian thought about it funny, should he curse Dong Zhuo now, or should he thank him for giving Yuzhou to him?

Li Yi will not deceive himself, he does not have any confidence in courting Dong Qinwang now. On the contrary, he has a very hateful psychology towards Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the officials of various prefectures and counties, and has the intention of killing them quickly. Is Li Yi's attitude the attitude of the eldest princess and the imperial court? If this is indeed the case, then I have to find a way out as soon as possible.

Sun Jian regretted that he hadn't listened to Yuan Shu's words. I knew that the situation was so bad, and it was so slim to ask Dong Qinwang, so I shouldn't have gone north to attack Dong Zhuo. Now it seems that Dong Zhuo was not defeated by the three-way army, but he took the initiative to retreat. The purpose of his surrender of the land of Kanto is very simple, he wants to let his gang of people in Luoyang fight for power, money and food, and territory. Dong Zhuo is still as powerful as in the past, and he is getting more and more powerful.

Zhu Jun tried his best to keep Sun Jian, and he said in a letter to Sun Jian: "The situation of fighting Dong Qinwang today is very good, the hussar general is commanding the army in northern Xinjiang to attack the fortified positions, and the day of King Qinwang is just around the corner, how can you ignore the safety of the society and give up the great opportunity to make meritorious contributions?" Even if you have to leave, you have to wait until the eldest princess and the court return to Luoyang. Now you must block the way for me to enter Luoyang. ”

Sun Jian replied to Zhu Jun and said: "Teacher, I have run out of food and must go back." Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were in the middle of a fierce battle, and he had already written several times, saying that the food and salary would be exhausted, urging me to go back and help him defeat Liu Biao. Without food, the army would not be able to continue to fight against King Dong Qin. Now I am facing this problem, and the hussar general is also facing the same problem, what is he doing in Luoyang? Tens of thousands of troops arrived in Luoyang, could they be vegetable eaters? The Gyeonggi area is now very desolate and desolate, and you can't see a single person for dozens of miles, and you can't find anyone looking for vegetables. Please rest assured that he will not enter Beijing, otherwise his army will starve to death in Luoyang. I am going back, I will stabilize Jingzhou as soon as possible, and do my best to provide money and food support to Luoyang. ”

In late April, Sun Jian led his army to Yuyuan Pass.

Mu Shun, the general of the Northern Xinjiang Army stationed at the pass, asked strangely: "General Sun wants to go to Yingchuan?" ”

Sun Jian nodded.

Mu Shun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "General Sun, the situation in Yingchuan is very complicated now, and it is very likely that there will be a war. ”

Sun Jian asked in surprise, "How is this possible?" Hasn't Yuzhou always provided food and salary for your Northern Xinjiang Army? With your Northern Xinjiang Army here, what will happen to Yuzhou? ”

Mu Shun scratched his head and said helplessly: "Yuzhou Mu Kongling is sick and dead. ”

Sun Jian felt a chill in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "When did it happen?" ”

Mu Shun said: "It's been more than 20 days. ”

Why didn't anyone tell me? Sun Jian was so angry that he almost opened his mouth to yell.

"General Sun doesn't know?" Mu Shun was even more strange, "We told General Zhu Jun about this news a long time ago, but General Zhu Jun didn't tell you?" ”

Sun Jian glared angrily, looked at Mu Shun and said word by word: "I am the general of the broken captive, you should report quickly." ”

Mu Shun scratched his head again, and said in confusion: "General Sun is a broken general, and the grain and grass are supplied by the later general Yuan Shu, which has nothing to do with Yuzhou." ”

Sun Jian choked on Mu Shun's words, and was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time. It's normal for others not to tell themselves that Yuzhou Mukong Ling is dead for various purposes, but why didn't the teacher say it? Could it be that the teacher didn't even want the lives of his disciples in order to please King Dong Qin? Although the teacher didn't know that Dong Zhuo had sent a holy decree to himself, and he didn't know that he was already the assassin of Yuzhou, out of love for his disciples, this kind of major event should be said anyway. Maybe the teacher was too busy to forget?

Sun Jian shook his head, calmed down his emotions, and asked, "Tell me, what happened in Yuzhou?" Why war? ”

Mu Shun immediately explained.

It turned out that when Yuzhou Mu Kongling was seriously ill, many family members of Yingzhou, Confucian celebrities, and disciples came to visit him, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also represented individuals and Yuan Lords, and specially sent people to visit and give heavy gifts.

After Kong Ling's death, both of them got the news as soon as possible.

At that time, Yuan Shao was resisting the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Dongjun. Hearing that Kong Ling died of illness, Yuan Shao immediately issued an order in the name of undertaking the system to worship his own relative, Zhou Ang, a famous man from Yangzhou Huiji County, to assassinate the history of Yuzhou, and let Han Hao and Hu Yi rush to Yuzhou with an army of 5,000. The 5,000 troops were temporarily borrowed by him from Chenliu County, Jiyin County and other places. If you can take the opportunity to take Yuzhou, the speed of your success in hegemony will be greatly accelerated.

After Yuan Shu got the news, he immediately sent someone to make peace with Liu, and Yuan Shu said in the letter: "The land of Kanto has been conquered, and I want to go to Luoyang." If I stand in Luoyang, I will return Nanyang to you. ”

Liu Biao couldn't conquer it for a long time, it cost both troops and money, and it was when it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly withdrew his troops back to Xiangyang.

Yuan Shu immediately sent Qiao Rui, who was stationed in Luyang, to rush to Yangzhai with 3,000 soldiers and horses, telling him to grab Yuzhou no matter what. But it is obviously not appropriate to lead troops to rob like this, because the land of Kanto has been captured, and the eldest princess and the court are going south, whether they listen to the court or not, this face must be given, otherwise it will arouse public anger.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are confident that they can occupy Yuzhou because Runan and Yingchuan are the foundation of Yuan Valve, but Yuzhou is not only the foundation of Yuan Valve, but also the foundation of Xu Valve. Xu Valve's people were not active in courting Dong, but they were very active in occupying Yuzhou. On her deathbed, Kong Ling said to the officials of Yuzhou Mansion that after my death, the imperial court may not be able to send officials to succeed me in the short term. In order to ensure the stability of Yuzhou, Xu Jing can be temporarily asked to lead the state pastor. With these words, Xu Jing hurried to Yangzhai with 5,000 men and horses to preside over the affairs of Yuzhou. (To be continued.) )
