Chapter 13 From now on the flute army(1/2)

Liu Bei failed to become the person to enforce the alliance, because Cao Cao could not let a person who was not from Yuan's camp do this, otherwise Yuan Benchu ​​would definitely not be able to spare him, the spokesperson of Suanzao... Yes, Cao Cao had nothing at this time

No, he is just Yuan Shao's political spokesperson.

Therefore, in the end, it was Zang Honglai, the son of an old official of the Yuan family and a disciple of the Zhang brothers, who held the alliance with his own blood.

However, unlike leaving Xiapi in another time and space to defect to Gongsun Zan, as a cavalry captain with thousands of soldiers and horses, and the support of many southern princes, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande acted openly and became the most serious leader of the jujube coalition.

One of the princes, and quite popular.

After the alliance was signed, the coalition forces immediately respected Yuan Shao as their leader, and Dong Zhuo's military encirclement network from Hanoi to Suanzao to Nanyang was immediately established!

For a time, Suanzao gathered more than 100,000 coalition troops, including not only various princes, but also noble families under the names of various princes. They were countless powerful and powerful, but they were only more than ten miles away from Henan Yin. Then General Yuan Shu and General Sun Jian were defeated.

The troops from Nanyang were gathered in Luyang, and they were preparing to march north; Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Han Fu gathered their troops, horses, and supplies in Hanoi, facing Luoyang across the river... The armies of the three armies were dispatched and reorganized separately, and the momentum of sending troops seemed to be unstoppable.

In such a situation, although the three sides have not yet actually used troops, just as Dong Zhuo's wise men feared, and just as Cao Cao imagined, surrounded by three sides, Luoyang's people's hearts have been shaken... The officials under Gongqing's sect secretly

Going in and out of Luoyang and going in all directions; the cities and even the villages and pavilions under Yin's control in Henan Province were rebelling against each other one after another. There were even many wealthy families in Henan Province who took advantage of Dong Zhuo's troops and horses not being fully deployed, and took the opportunity to rebel or gather people to flee to Guandong!

Although Dong Zhuo had anticipated this, and although he had already begun to deploy troops and generals, when the jujube coalition finally gathered to make a blood oath and chaos broke out again inside and outside Luoyang, the ruling prime minister of the Han Dynasty still became depressed.

Even indulged.

This was not just because people inside and outside Luoyang were shattered; it wasn't just that the troops from three sides were pressing down on the territory, the numbers were shocking; more importantly, the appearance of the jujube coalition and the chaos in Luoyang clearly told Dong Zhuo, including him

A cruel truth for everyone...

That is:

Everyone in the world disapproves of you Dong Zhongying!

The affairs of the world are not decided by you, Dong Xiangguo!

A few months ago, at the end of summer when the rain was pouring, Dong Zhuo looked around proudly in Xianyang Garden in the west of Luoyang City and asked everyone, "Doesn't he have the final say in everything in the world?" After asking, he summoned the ministers to formally discuss the abolition of Li Li on the next day.

Only Lu Zhi spoke out against it, and on the third day he successfully deposed it. Then he murdered the Queen Mother within a few days, and issued an edict within a short period of time, forcing Huangfu Song, Gai Xun, Zhu Jun and others to hand over their military power and govern the country.

Quan... of these three loyal ministers, at least one of them cursed on the spot, and another mocked them on the spot, but they still obeyed the order honestly because they are loyal ministers!

Dong Zhuo never abolished Li because he was tyrannical. He became more powerful than ever by abolishing Li!

In fact, after Dong Zhongying learned that Huangfu Song and Gai Xun had handed over military and political power, and that Han Sui and Ma Teng had accepted the recruitment, but before Gongsun Xun's appeal was reached, he felt that he was invincible in the world at that time!

Because at that time he was really ‘the strongest in the world’!

You count the population, the troops, the wealth, the armament, the politics, he is the strongest in the world!

But in the blink of an eye, Gongsun Xun's message arrived, and then Cao Cao prepared the letter to gather the crowd. The Hebei Allied Forces and the Kwantung Allied Forces were formed at once...and then, suddenly came to the current situation.

To be honest, after confirming that he could not "do things for the world", although there was no news about Gongsun Xun in Bingzhou Mountain, and although he still had confidence in defeating these Kwantung coalition forces, Dong Xiangguo suddenly became a little tired... He

I started to think about finding a way out for myself.

And then, the two final straws that broke Dong Xiangguo's mentality appeared:

First, after the death of the governor of Jingzhou, it was a last-ditch effort to win over the last region that did not openly resist Dong Zhuo, to further divide and control the Northern Army, and to win over the hearts and minds of the party members. It was also a last-ditch effort to drive a wedge behind Yuan Shu.

, Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao, the Northern Army lieutenant whom he admired quite a lot, as the governor of Jingzhou.

However, he rode alone, crossed Nanyang and entered Xiangyang, but disappeared silently...at least he no longer responded to the military and political instructions from Luoyang.

Earlier Yuan Shu and Sun Jian were sharpening their swords in Nanyang. Liu Biao's move was no different from Dong Zhuo's view as treason.

Secondly, what makes Dong Xiangguo even more worried is that his son-in-law Niu Fu, who has high hopes for him, sincerely favors him. He led the elite troops to Hedong to deal with the Baibo bandits, but he was beaten to a pulp by Guo Tai, a remnant of the Yellow Turban, and was in a panic.

The panic led the remaining soldiers to flee back to Jingzhao. Then the Baibo thieves ran around in Hedong, tying up the place, and saw that Guanzhong also became dangerous.

So Dong Gong felt homesick... This home is not the former residence of the young man in Yingchuan, nor the former residence of the young man in Longxi, nor the officials who later became officials in Luoyang, Liangzhou, the Western Regions, and Bingzhou.

The temple residence is the place where he lived for a long time by the Wei River after the Liangzhou Rebellion. His old mother and direct granddaughter are still there.

"How about moving the capital?!" On this day in the Jiade Hall of Nangong in Luoyang, Dong Xiangguo, who was getting fatter by the side, held a steel knife in his hand and came straight to the point.

Don't talk about the people below, just talk about a few important ministers in the front row, or the only people who can sit with Dong Zhuo in terms of rank: Taifu Yuan Wei, Taiwei Huang Wan, Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Xunshuang, four people

They looked at each other, not understanding for a moment.

How can normal people understand it all at once?

Moreover, even if a normal person understands, he still doesn’t know how to deal with Dong Xiangguo. What if he doesn’t respond well and gets chopped with a knife?

As a result, above the three princes, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei bowed his head and remained silent, like a puppet; below the three princes, starting from the moment Wang Yun was ordered by Shangshu, the nine ministers and the general Shangshu were silent one after another.

In desperation, Situ Yang Biao glanced at the ten-year-old emperor who was still a little ignorant on the throne, and stood up bravely: "May I ask the prime minister, where will the capital be moved? This dynasty has been moving since the restoration of the family.

In Luoyang..."

"Go to Chang'an!" Dong Zhuo was still somewhat polite to Yang Biao, who was barely from Guanxi. "The people from Guandong are so bad that we can't stay in Luoyang! And doesn't Situ know? There is a nursery rhyme in Luozhong recently, the so-called first Han from the West.

A man from the East and a deer from Chang'an will have no trouble... This is God's will!"

Yang Biao was stunned. The person he was in love with actually had a concrete plan, and he wasn't just talking nonsense.

"Prime Minister! This is inappropriate!"

"Dong Gong, this must not be done!"

When things came to a head, considering the other party's vigorous and resolute actions, no matter how God's will was, the three princes could not let the other party do whatever they wanted. What if they really followed the example of deposing the establishment in three days, murdering the prefect in five days, and moving the capital in two months? So what if?

, Taiwei Huang Wan quickly stood up to dissuade him, and Yang Biao, who came to his senses, also spoke out to object.

"What's wrong?" Dong Zhuo held his sword forward, stood under the throne, turned to face the officials, and was quite impatient.

"Prime Minister!" Huang Wan said almost with sadness and indignation. "Can the matter of moving the capital be decided casually? There are millions of people around Luoyang, and the national ancestral temple and the tombs of past emperors are all here... Is it necessary?

Are you abandoning them?"

"What do you know?" Dong Zhuo became more and more impatient. "Guanzhong is fertile, so Qin relied on Guanzhong to annex the six countries. Moreover, Liangzhou sent troops and Chang'an had palaces, which made it very convenient to move. As for the people, what are the people?

Is it worth taking it out and talking about it here?! If they really dare to object, I will use armored soldiers to drive them away. Believe it or not, they don’t even dare to go to Chang’an, which is hundreds of miles away to the west, and even the East China Sea, which is thousands of miles away to the east.

?!"

"Dong Gong!" Yang Biao became even more anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "You may be right, but things in this world are always easy to move, but it is difficult to settle down and go back...

…Don’t you really understand this truth?”

"Do I need you to teach me about the things in the world?" Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the last part. "You are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's brother-in-law, and an old friend of Gongsun Xun. Are you deliberately delaying these three traitors?

Time, you want me to get trapped here in Luoyang? I have seen people like you clearly for a long time. On the surface, you look like a human being, but secretly you always want to harm people... Do you think that there are hundreds of thousands of traitors outside?

Am I afraid to kill anyone?"

Yang Biao was struck by lightning and shook like chaff in the court hall, while Yuan Wei next to him lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

"Prime Minister." Huang Wan was also short of breath, but he held his head high and held his own. "In any case, moving the capital is a fundamental matter for the country. As the third Duke, Yang Gong is unable to say a word in the Jiade Hall?"

Dong Zhuo sneered and was about to get angry when Sikong Xunshuang stood up suddenly and stood between Dong Xiangguo, Huang and Yang, and faced Huang Wan seriously and said: "Huang Gong didn't understand Dong Gong's painstaking efforts...

...If the situation wasn't bad, would Dong Gui want to move the capital? The current situation is that those people from Guandong have surrounded Luoyang on three sides. The emperor and the ministers are among them, and they are in trouble day and night. But if they go west to Chang'an, it will become the end of Qin that day.

The power of the Six Nations... please both of you be considerate."

Everyone naturally knew that Xun Shuang was trying to smooth things over, and Huang Wan and Yang Biao were sweating coldly at this moment. They suddenly realized that they had almost died here, so they took advantage of the situation and bowed their heads and retreated.

"Actually, the Prime Minister doesn't need to worry too much about those people in Guandong." Just when the three princes retreated and no one answered, Shangshu Zheng Tai suddenly realized the crux of the problem, and then stood up to comfort him. "Because I have always been familiar with those people in Jujube...

None of that generation can achieve great things!"

"What are these words?" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, becoming curious.

"Ming Gong came from Xizhou. He was a general at a young age. He studied military affairs and became a famous commander in the world." Zheng Tai, the minister, said with a careful smile. "And what about Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gongli? These two are just the sons of Gongqing. They have been in the military since they were young.

The young master who lives in the capital; Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo are kind-hearted people who are so rigid that they won’t even turn around when sitting in the hall; as for Kong Ni and Kong Gongxu, they can only talk and boast... one of these people counts.

, they don’t have the slightest bit of military talent! Then I dare to ask, no matter how many troops they have, how can they be the opponent of the Prime Minister when they face each other in battle?"

"That's good!" Dong Zhuo smiled slightly. "So what should we do?"

"So, there is no need for the Prime Minister to worry about them. We can send troops to defeat them in Luoyang..." Zheng Tai quickly revealed his true purpose.

Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, but he didn't answer, didn't ask, didn't comment, and then walked away directly holding his sword.

In the Jiade Palace, several close followers of Dong Zhuo ignored the etiquette and hurriedly got up to follow. At the forbidden area outside the gate of the Jiade Palace, Lu Bu, who was in full armor, also immediately led several elite soldiers to follow. The ministers watched these people stand proudly.

He came out, but he had no words at all... because at this time, there were dozens of Xiliang soldiers in the hall, watching him eagerly.

"grown ups……"

The rest of them didn't matter. Li Ru was probably the only one who dared to squeeze in front of Lu Bu and talk to Dong Zhuo directly. "What should we do?"

"The capital still has to be moved." Dong Zhuo put away his smile and responded sternly as he moved forward. "But Huang Wan is right. This kind of thing must be recognized by the three princes!"

"What should we do?"

"Kill Zheng Tai who just fooled me, and hang his head... on the chancellery!" Dong Zhuo said to himself, walking in front of him. "Then get rid of Huang Wan's Taiwei and Yang Biao's Situ, and let them be mere honours."

Dr. Lu is ready. Let's ask Zhu Jun if he wants to be a Taiwei, and if Wang Yun wants to be a Situ. Then we can start preparations for moving the capital immediately."

"Here!" Li Ru followed his father-in-law, looking at his father-in-law's growing body, but gave up his intention to defend himself.

"Also, since Jujube has formed an alliance, and has recognized Yuan Shao as its leader... In fact, the biggest difference between me and Yuan Shao is Fei Li. This time the Jujube alliance is also about 'Supreme Dust'... Everything is going on.

Now, you go and kill King Hongnong to put an end to their thoughts. I would like to see how Yuan Benchu, the only upright emperor left in the world, will deal with himself?"
To be continued...
