The next day, Yuan Shao summoned the civil and military officials to the mansion to discuss matters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The crusade against Li Yi resounded in the court, and the officials of Luoyang gritted their teeth, eager to devour Li Yi alive. Hijacking the monarch, this crime alone can cut Li Yi with a thousand knives.

More than a dozen officials, including Fu Zhu, Ju Pei, Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong, and Chen Lin, wrote a letter of rebellion overnight, listing Li Yi's ten major crimes, and imploring Yuan Shao to immediately spread the word to the world, gather a large army, attack Hebei, and kill the rebels.

Feng Ji stood up and said: "The key issue now is not to attack Hebei, but to control the emperor. Li Yi held the Son of Heaven hostage, the Son of Heaven became a puppet, and the majesty of the Han family was lost. ”

It is obviously impractical to find a descendant of the royal family to inherit the imperial system of the Han Dynasty, but in this way it will be delayed, and it is likely to miss the best opportunity to attack Hebei.

For Li Yi, Jizhou is his key point. captured Jizhou, which basically destroyed half of Li Yi's strength. Now that the Jicheng Imperial Court has lost many old ministers one after another, the people of Hebei are panicking, and Li Yi urgently needs to stabilize Hebei. This is the best time to attack Hebei, and once this opportunity is missed and the war is delayed until after May, Hebei will not be able to fight.

He said earnestly: "My lord, now spread the word to the world, take advantage of the indignation of various states and counties, quickly assemble a large army, and strive to enter Jizhou at the end of March and early April, then Jizhou can be captured." If Li Yi loses Jizhou, it will be difficult for him to have the strength to launch a counterattack in the short term. In this way, the lord can take the lead and multiply his strength. Not only did it have enough to rebuild the imperial system, but it could also use this battle to weaken the strength of Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, and lay the foundation for the future unification of the Central Plains. ”

Feng Ji disagreed with Frustration's statement, he said: "Spread the world? In what name do we spread the word to the world? Is it a useless edict, or is it the Son of Heaven that we have always refused to recognize? The edict has lost its power after the state and county officials have divided one side, and no one listens to it anymore. The Son of Heaven who was held hostage by Li Yi, we have always refused to admit it, and even repeatedly said that he was not from Emperor Xiaoling, and now we suddenly changed our course and said that we want to avenge this Son of Heaven who has always refused to admit it, who will believe it? It's not a slap in the mouth, it's a lie. ”

"We must immediately rebuild the imperial system and rebuild the imperial court, otherwise even if we rely on our strength, with Li Yi's perverse actions and his great threat to various states and counties, we gather the soldiers and horses of various states and counties, but this army will definitely be scattered, unable to unify command, and unable to defeat Li Yi."

"Also, do you think it's realistic that we're going to attack Hebei at the end of March? There are still two months left before the end of March, and we have to discuss with the prefectures and counties in various places, and we must discuss with them the matter of sending troops, discuss the raising of money, food, and ordnance for hundreds of thousands of troops, discuss the strategy of attacking Hebei, and discuss many issues such as the reconstruction of the imperial system after the defeat of Jizhou. So many complicated things, can they be done in two months? From Luoyang to Linzi in Qingzhou, there are more than 1,500 miles, even if we rush non-stop, it will take more than ten days for us and Gongsun Chan to meet, at this speed, we can complete the alliance decision, gather the army and launch the attack within two months? ”

The judge immediately stood up and refuted it, he said: "Hebei is not only a threat to us, but also to all states and counties, today is the best opportunity for the alliance to attack, as long as the lord stands up and shouts, all states and counties will not pass this opportunity." In the face of a common enemy, everyone's interests are aligned, so that we can avoid contradictions and work together as much as possible. If we want to rebuild the imperial system first, we will immediately fall into a fierce struggle for power and interests, and we will not only lose the opportunity to attack Hebei, but also lose the opportunity to strengthen our strength and expand our hegemony. ”

"If the lord attacks and kills Li Yi and occupies Jizhou, he will first be able to establish a strong prestige and establish outstanding feats, so that in the process of rebuilding the imperial system, the lord will occupy a pivotal position, which will greatly promote and help the completion of the lord's hegemony."

"As for whether we can complete the alliance and attack in two months, it depends on our determination. As long as we are determined, the states and counties will naturally trust us and will complete the preparations for the attack as quickly and with the greatest efforts. In addition, the large number of troops gathered in various parts of the Central Plains is a threat to Hebei, which may fall into greater chaos and even rebellion, which will be more conducive to our attack. ”

The two sides argued fiercely, and Xu You, Yin Yu, Liu Shao and others proposed a compromise plan, first passing on the county of Zhuzhou, meeting the alliance in Yanzhou Dingtao, and then Chen soldiers on the Yellow River, while threatening Hebei, while discussing the re-establishment of the imperial system.

At this time, Geng Bao shouted: "The fortune of Chide is declining, and the number of calendars will change." The lord should obey the will of heaven, respond to the people's wishes, and ascend the throne as the emperor! ”

The hall was suddenly discolored.

Geng Bao unfolded the book and read it aloud, which was nothing more than the set of the fulfillment of the Wei Wei and the birth of the five elements, but before he finished reading it, the judge rushed up and snatched his book and smashed it to the ground.

Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong then rushed up, and they were beaten violently.

Fu Zhi's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded: "Do you want to destroy the Yuan clan? Do you want us to die without a place to bury? ”

Yuan Shao sat behind the desk, looking at Geng Bao, who was bleeding all over his face, and his heart was full of anger, but his vest was a little cold. He had thought of resistance beforehand, but almost all of his subordinates who he didn't expect stood up against it. In people's minds, the big man still hasn't collapsed.

Xu You, Chen Lin and others hurriedly dissuaded Yuan Shao.

Xu You said: "Although Li Yi is strong, he held the Son of Heaven hostage and slaughtered the minister, but he still didn't dare to openly establish himself as the emperor, he still let the puppet emperor sit in the court, he didn't even dare to kill the minister, but pretended to die of illness and other names, which shows the great resistance he encountered." ”

"The strength of the lord is not as good as Li Yi, and the hegemony has just started, once he becomes the emperor, he will immediately become the enemy of the world. At this time, even if Liu Biao and Cao Cao did not turn against the lord, they would never help the lord deal with Li Yi. The lord fought against Li Yi with the strength of one person, and the difficulty was too great. ”

"What's even more terrifying is that if the prefectures and counties are persuaded by Li Yi to suddenly turn the spearhead and submit to the Jicheng Imperial Court, and unite with Li Yi to attack Luoyang, the lord will not be able to support it."

Yuan Shaomeng stood up and pointed at Geng Bao and scolded: "These rumors were spread by people sent by Hebei, how can you believe it?" Lock him up. ”

Frustrated, judged, and others were still puzzled, chattering endlessly.

Recently, there have been more and more statements about the Yuan dynasty in Luoyang and various parts of the Central Plains, and the officials in Luoyang certainly know the hidden truth.

Yuan Shao returned all the responsibility to Hebei, scolded Li Yi in the lobby, and then, he agreed to the suggestion of Fu Zhi, spread the word to the world, and would ally Yanzhou Dingtao to crusade against Li Yi.

When discussing the re-establishment of the imperial unity, the differences between the parties were very large, and the focus of the differences was what was the purpose of hegemony, whether to restore the unification of the world and revitalize the Han Dynasty, or to maintain the situation of separatism and do "the work of Huan and Wen"?

In the current situation, the hegemony is the most important, and it is necessary to first enhance and consolidate their own strength, perform the "merits of Huan and Wen", maintain the Han Dynasty, and then strive to conquer the world and realize the unification of the country.

Xu You, Liu Shao and others believed that in order to successfully rebuild the imperial system, it was necessary to take into account the interests of various prefectures and counties, and to seal the land and build princes, otherwise this kind of melee situation was bound to last for a long time, that is to say, the completion of the hegemony itself was the ultimate goal.

Feng Ji and others believe that it is necessary to face up to the fact that Han Zuo was severed, even if the imperial system is rebuilt now, it is just a virtual thing, whether it is the Son of Heaven or the imperial court, there is no longer any prestige. In fact, everyone understands what they mean, no matter the purpose of the hegemony, in the end, the Han is gone, and it is inevitable that the overlord will stand on behalf of the Han.

Yuan Shao finally said: "Before the hegemony is achieved, we must respect the Son of Heaven, and don't talk about other things for the time being." ”

This sentence made Fu Zhu, Xu Yu and the others breathe a long sigh, what they wanted was Yuan Shao's promise. If the hegemony is not successful, we must make every effort to govern the country, and we must not usurp the Han dynasty and become the target of the public, otherwise, not to mention the hegemony, whether we can save our lives is a problem.

………………

In early February, Li Yi and the ministers of the imperial court carefully discussed the report of the Taishou Wangyi of Hedong, and decided to immediately send Yue Fei, the general of Zhengxi, to Hedong in a hurry, and together with Lü Bu and Huang Zhong, he raised an army of 100,000 troops to the Yellow River, threatening Guanzhong and Guanxi, and forcing Yuan Shao to abandon his attempt to usurp Han and become independent.

In addition, Xu Da and Zhang Yan were sent to lead 50,000 southern troops to be stationed in Jinyang, ready to go south to support at any time.

The news that Yue Fei, the general of the expedition to the west, arrived in Hedong and that the Northern Frontier Army had begun to assemble in Hedong shocked Luoyang.

Yuan Shao immediately convened the officials to discuss the countermeasures.

When Yue Fei arrived in Hedong, he obviously meant to threaten Guanzhong. If Li Yi took the initiative to launch a big war and used this to divert the contradictions in Jicheng and unite the hearts of the people in Hebei, then his choice to attack Guanzhong was undoubtedly correct.

After careful deliberation, it was determined that Li Yi's true intention might be to use the attack on Guanzhong to contain Yuan Shao, prevent Yuan Shao from attacking Jizhou in all prefectures and counties of the alliance, and rebuild the imperial unity, forming an unfavorable situation of confrontation between the north and the south with him.

Yuan Shao suggested rebuilding the imperial system in the process of meeting the alliance, and using the forces of various prefectures and counties to launch an attack on Jizhou as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the direction of Guanzhong, but in this way, it was even more urgent.

Rebuild the imperial system, who will be the emperor? Several people invariably fell in love with the seven-year-old grandson of King Chen, Liu Chong. Let the child be the son of heaven seems to have become everyone's consensus.

However, at this time, Chen Guoxiang Gao hurriedly reported that Liu Chong, the king of Chen, together with Shi Luojun, the governor of the palace, led 3,000 private soldiers to Yanzhou Chen.

"Quick, stop him immediately, this must be Cao Cao's idea." Fu Zhu said loudly, "If Cao Cao is allowed to establish the imperial system first, the lord will lose the opportunity." (To be continued.) )
