Xu Rong hurriedly reported to Chang'an, and Yue Fei refused to withdraw from Guanzhong under the pretext of obeying the name of the eldest princess, and insisted on going to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven.

Wang Yun was furious and ordered Huangfu Hong to lead an army to Xiatai County to support Xu Rong.

Before Huang Fuhong's army left Chang'an, Duan Xuan's urgent report arrived. Huayin City fell, and Hu Ben Zhonglang killed Li Su in battle.

In desperation, Wang Yun instead ordered Huangfu Hong to support Duan Xuan and block the rebels.

Huangfu Song played again, begging the Son of Heaven to immediately issue an order to pardon the generals of Xiliang and appease the rebels.

Wang Yun refused.

Taiwei Zhou Zhong suggested that Yue Fei lead his army to meet the rebels, but Wang Yun refused to agree. Yue Fei wants to enter Chang'an, Niu Fu also wants to enter Chang'an, once the two armies merge into one, Chang'an will be over.

………………

Zhu Jun received the decree of the Son of Heaven. This holy decree was originally given to Yue Fei by the Chang'an Imperial Court, but by mistake, the messenger was delayed on the way. This messenger worked hard and finally arrived at the Shaancheng camp secretly, but at this time Yue Fei had already led his army into Guanzhong.

The Son of Heaven ordered the Northern Frontier Army to immediately attack Niu Fu to eradicate the rebellion and defend Chang'an.

Zhu Jun received the decree and immediately ordered Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to lead the army to attack Hongnong City. The Son of Heaven was in danger, and the army hurried west to King Qin.

Zhu Jun was worried that the troops were not enough, so he ordered Zhou Hua stationed in Luoyang and Wei Yan of Hangu Pass to lead troops to help.

Zhang Ji was caught off guard, and Hongnong City was lost. The Northern Xinjiang Army chased after the street and killed the Taolin Fortress.

Huai Thanh, Hanoi District.

Yuan Shao received an urgent report from Chun Yuqiong, and Zhu Jun led a large army to storm the Taolin fortress, leaving Luoyang empty.

Yuan Shao did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered to assemble a large army and rush to Mengjin.

Yuan Shao's army had just set off, and bad news came from Yanzhou, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai died in Lucheng, Jibei Kingdom.

Liu Dai led the army all the way east, and the army advanced very smoothly.

Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, dissuaded Liu Dai, since the king of Jinan was dead, it was better for the army to stick to the front line of Dongping and Lu, and not to go deep alone, so as not to be surrounded by the Yellow Turban army. Liu Dai didn't listen, was stubborn, and threatened to enter Qingzhou and drive the Yellow Turban Army to Mount Tai.

In late April, the Yanzhou army entered Lucheng in Jibei Kingdom, and Liu Pi, Gong Du, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang suddenly led the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to appear and besieged Liu Dai in Lucheng.

The two sides are in a big fight. The Yanzhou army was short of food and grass, and Liu Dai, Bao Xin, Wu Zi, and Zheng Sui had no choice but to lead the army to break through. In the process of breaking through, Liu Dai was very unfortunate and was fiercely blocked by Liu Pi and Zhou Cang. Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turban Army in a fierce battle, and all 5,000 men and horses were annihilated. Bao Xin, Wu Zi, and Zheng Sui joined forces and fought desperately to get out of the encirclement.

Bao Xin and Wu Zi led the army to withdraw to Jiyin County, and Zheng then withdrew to Renchengguo. The state of Lu in Yuzhou, the state of Dongping in Yanzhou, and some counties in the east county of Yanzhou all fell.

Liu Pi led the Yellow Turban Army to continue the attack on the three counties of Dongjun, Jiyin and Rencheng in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou was in danger.

Cao Cao asked Yuan Shao to rush to Yanzhou's aid, but Yuan Shao refused.

Cao Cao was very angry, and he asked Yuan Shao: "At the beginning, he led the army into Luoyang, did he join the Northern Xinjiang Army and go west to King Chang'an Qin, or did he try to dominate the industry?" Starting from Liu Gongshan in Yanzhou to the county officials, they have been following Benchu's orders for several years and have been loyal to Benchu. But at the beginning of the death of Liu Gongshan and the critical moment of Yanzhou, he ignored the survival of Yanzhou and insisted on entering Luoyang. It's chilling. “

Yuan Shao was sad and indignant, he patted his chest, and swore that he had no intention of abandoning Yanzhou. He took out Wang Yun's secret letter and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, you take a closer look, and then think about the changes in the situation in the world after Dong Zhuo's death. Compared with the survival of Yanzhou and the survival of Dahan Sheji, which is more important? ”

Chun Yuqiong followed Yuan Shao's secret order, killed Zhang Chong, the messenger from Chang'an, and quietly sent the holy decree and Wang Yun's secret letter to Yuan Shao. In his letter, Wang Yun made a detailed prediction of the future development of the situation. He thinks that after Dong Zhuo's death, the biggest traitor of the Han Dynasty is Li Yi. If this person is not removed, the Han will suffer another catastrophe. Wang Yun asked Yuan Shao to do everything possible to quickly enter Luoyang and drive the Northern Xinjiang Army out of Guanxi, so as to ensure that after the Son of Heaven and the imperial court returned to Beijing, they would no longer be directly threatened by the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"Meng De, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, come to Luoyang with me." Yuan Shao said sincerely.

Cao Cao hesitated.

After Li Yi knew that Dong Zhuo was killed, would he immediately order the Northern Xinjiang Army to enter Guanzhong and control the Son of Heaven and the imperial court? Will Dong Zhuo's old ministry in Guanzhong rebel, and if it rebels, can Wang Yun hold Chang'an?

If Wang Yun was unable to hold Chang'an, the Northern Xinjiang Army in Hedong and Guanxi would inevitably enter Guanzhong quickly, so what role did Yuan Shao have in occupying Luoyang at this time besides provoking Li Yi?

Li Yi controlled the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and controlled the land of Hebei, both with supreme authority and solid financial backing, in this case, what else does he want Luoyang to do? He could use this as an excuse to hold high the banner of counterinsurgency to conquer Yuan Shao and refuse to honor the state and county officials who are today.

According to the current status quo, Yuan Shao and these state and county officials are not Li Yi's opponents at all, and their defeat is a matter of time.

"Originally, even if we occupied Luoyang and drove the Northern Frontier Army out of Guanxi, what would the Son of Heaven and the imperial court do?" Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao and asked worriedly, "All along, we have refused to recognize the son of today, saying that the son of today was not from the first emperor, and strongly advocated the re-establishment of the imperial system, and even killed four ministers to appease him. If ......"

Cao Cao didn't continue. When the Son of Heaven and the imperial court returned to Luoyang, sooner or later they would kill Yuan Shao and these state and county officials who had opposed him.

"Mengde, as long as we occupy Luoyang, we will immediately rebuild the imperial system. There are many people who can be emperors, Liu Yu is unwilling, we can find someone else, such as ......" Yuan Shao smiled slightly, raised his finger and said, "Brother Jingsheng......"

Cao Cao frowned and remained silent.

………………

Late at night, Cheng Yu quietly went to Cao Cao's military tent and asked, "Meng De, I heard that Yuan Benchu did not return to Yanzhou and was going to fight Luoyang?" ”

Cao Cao nodded worriedly and said, "Zhongde, there is an army of Zhu Jun and Yue Fei in Guanxi, this Luoyang is very difficult to fight, and it is ......"

He hesitated for a long time and sighed: "If Li Yi is determined to be the king of diligence and determined to quickly stabilize the society, this Luoyang can't fight, but I insisted on doing it at the beginning, I ......."

"Meng De is worried that Yuan Benchu's attack will be blocked, and he will not be able to occupy Luoyang, but also lose Yanzhou, and finally the two ends will be in vain, and there will be nothing?" Cheng Yu asked lightly.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu in surprise, suddenly smiled, and said, "Zhongde, you are here tonight, won't you just talk nonsense with me?" ”

Cheng Yu smiled lonely and said worriedly: "Yuan Benchu's attack on Luoyang at this time was not to ignore the survival of Yanzhou, but to bury the last hope of survival of the Han Dynasty, and he wanted to completely push the Han into the abyss of overturning. ”

Cao Cao covered his mouth with his hands, closed his eyes tightly, and said nothing.

Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao and asked, "Yuan Benchu has already killed the Chang'an messenger, do you know?" ”

Cao Cao moved his hands up slightly and covered half of his face.

"Yuan Benchu's purpose in doing this is obvious, he will neither go west to King Chang'an Qin, nor will he respect today's son and the court. Therefore, he had only one purpose in Luoyang at this time, that is, to try to dominate the world. Cheng Yu sat opposite Cao Cao, lowered his head, and said to himself, "Yuan Benchu has changed very much in the past few years, and it is hard to believe that he is the high-spirited Yuan Benchu back then." ”

"After the army enters Luoyang, it will first be able to contain the Northern Xinjiang Army, and at the same time, Yuan Shu will also mobilize troops to go north, and the Kwantung region will be in chaos in a blink of an eye. At this time, Dong Zhuo's old department, which was driven to a dead end, suddenly survived, and he would do his best to kill Chang'an desperately. Once Chang'an is captured by the rebels, even if the Son of Heaven and the imperial court can survive, they will be held hostage by the rebels and become a complete ornament, and they will no longer have any effect. ”

"Yuan Benchu's goal has been achieved, he can rest assured and bold and rebuild the imperial system without scruples." Cheng Yu sighed, "But will the Han be saved and revitalized because of this?" ”

Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and asked Cheng Yu, "What about Li Yi?" What will that tiger do? ”

Li Yi only had two choices. One is to give up Luoyang and enter Guanzhong. The second is to retreat to Hedong to ensure the security of northern Xinjiang, and at the same time take the land of Hebei as the foundation to form a separatist situation and attempt to dominate the industry. Cheng Yu stroked his long beard, frowned and said, "When the Northern Xinjiang Army enters Guanzhong, it is very likely that it will force the rebels and bury the lives of the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court, and Li Yi may be infamous for this." Therefore, I think that the Northern Xinjiang Army is most likely to retreat to Hedong and run Hebei with all its might. ”

"Due to our misjudgment, we failed to lure the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to Jizhou, which gave Li Yi enough time to defeat Gongsun Chan and stabilize the entire territory of Jizhou." Cheng Yu shook his head regretfully, "Li Yi's luck has always been very good, and this time is no exception." With Jizhou, the crisis in northern Xinjiang can be completely resolved in a short period of time. In a few years, Li Yi's strength will develop rapidly, and he will ...... in the future."

"What will happen in the future?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu said with a serious expression: "If we can't contain and severely damage Li Yi in the past few years, the person who overthrows the Han Society in the future will be this tiger." ”

Cao Cao covered his face with his hands and let out a lament: "The Han is dead." ”

"Meng De, whether it is Li Yi or Yuan Shao today, they all pretend to seize the state and county in the name of saving the society and try to dominate the industry, but judging from what the two of them did, they did not save the society enough, and it was more than enough to defeat the society." Cheng Yu said a little excitedly, "Meng De, don't you very much agree with Zhang Miao's strategy to save the society?" Why don't you take the opportunity to return to Yanzhou and immediately join forces with Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Wu Zi, Zheng Sui, Zizai and others to participate in a big move, take the Central Plains as the foundation, try to dominate the industry, and try your best to save and revitalize the community? ”

Cao Cao put down his hands violently and grinned bitterly: "Zhongde, do you mean me?" I'm just a Pei Xiang, how can I have the ability to rule Yanzhou? ”

Cheng Yu shook his hand and said solemnly: "If Meng De returns to Yanzhou immediately, Yanzhou will soon be yours." Could it be that Meng De has no confidence at all? ”

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly, he smashed his fist on the desk and shouted, "Okay, let's go back to Yanzhou." (To be continued.) )
