The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 650 Eventful Autumn
In the third year of Chuping (192), June [-]th.

The third day of the fall of Luoyang.

Before the cock crowed, the north gate of Chen Du had already been opened by the soldiers defending the city.

A fast horse galloped from the north, crushing the peaceful life in Chendu.

The sound of horseshoes spread from the center of the street to all directions. The sound of horseshoes was as loud as a shower, and quickly dissipated like a shower.

But the sound of the horse stepping on the ground still disturbed the slumber of many residents in the city.

As soon as the sound of horseshoes fell, the sound of cock crowing followed.

A little light began to bloom on the horizon, and the bright moon above the sky hadn't completely disappeared.

First, a high-pitched rooster crowed suddenly from a dwelling outside the city, and then more and more roosters joined the crowing ranks.

Everything recovers, and the world gradually brightens up.

Baili urgent, military urgent.

The rapid sound of horseshoes not only woke up the residents in the northern city of Chendu, but also the princes and ministers in the entire Chendu.

Less than two quarters of an hour after the sound of the cock crowing, all the important officials of the Chendu court hurried to the Chendu Imperial Palace - Qianqiu Palace.

In the past, Liu Xie sneaked into Chendu all the way south under the escort of Lu Zhi and his family soldiers.

Liu Chong, king of Chen, gave up the former palace as Liu Xie's residence. Later, Liu Xie ascended the throne in Chen Palace and proclaimed himself emperor, and changed Chen County to Chendu.

The Chenwang Palace also officially became the imperial palace, named Qianqiu Palace, which means "Qianqiu" in "Long Live for a Thousand Years, Changle is Young".

After waiting for a long time, the voice of calling finally came from the hall.

Liu Chong had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and as soon as the call sounded, he strode forward with great strides.

But just after taking two steps, Xun Yu grabbed his sleeve robe.

Liu Chong turned around, a little confused.

Xun Yu took the opportunity to step forward and walked behind Liu Chong.

"The general is now the head of a hundred officials, he must be cautious in his words and actions, and set an example."

Xun Yu frowned slightly, and said in a low voice.

"No matter how critical the situation is, there must be no rush. If the general doesn't hide his emotions and show his anger and anger on the surface, then all the officials will definitely feel panic because of the general's actions."

"The Son of Heaven is young, just when he needs the general's assistance, the general must be calm."

Liu Chong's face was slightly condensed, and he also reacted.

He looked at the ministers beside him from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw that the faces of those ministers were very disturbed, and their attention was indeed on him.

"I understand."

Looking at Xun Yu's firm gaze, Liu Chong regained his composure.

For a long time, as a vassal, the education he received was how to be a good vassal.

But since Liu Xie took control of Chendu, everything changed quietly.

He is no longer the ordinary vassal who has no real power and can only spend his life indifferently.

Relying on him, the emperor first recognized his self-proclaimed official position as a general of the Han Dynasty, and later named him a general of chariots and riders.

As a vassal king, he is actually not qualified to be the general of the chariot, but Liu Xie ignored all the criticisms, let others argue, and still appointed him the position of the general of the chariot.

The sudden ascension to a high position also made Liu Chong, who had always been pampered and ignorant of political affairs, somewhat inapplicable.

Fortunately, his original prime minister, Luo Jun, was not mediocre, and he arranged the general's mansion in an orderly manner.

Xun Yu and others came to serve, which also gave Liu Chong a lot of help and taught Liu Chong a lot.

Liu Chong regained his composure, his face returned to normal, he slowed down and walked towards the front hall.

Seeing Liu Chong quickly adjust his demeanor, Xun Yu was quite relieved in his heart.

For a long time, Liu Chong has been able to listen to other people's opinions with an open mind, and accept advice with an open mind, but he also has his own ideas, and he is not an indecisive, submissive person.

Xun Yu tidied up, joined the crowd, and followed Liu Chong into the palace.

After everyone saw the ceremony, an astonishing news had already been uttered from Wang Yue's mouth.

"Luoyang has fallen, and the bandit leader Xu An has led his troops into the city..."

Liu Chong's face twitched unconsciously. He had already heard the news. When the envoy summoned him to the palace, the envoy had already explained to him what happened, but the news came from Wang Yue's What he said in his mouth echoed in the hall, which still made Liu Chong feel a little at a loss and his mouth was dry.

Wang Yue's voice was deep and deep, and after his words fell, the entire palace was silent, and fell into a strange silence, even the drop of a needle could be heard.

Luoyang City was occupied by Dong Zhuo for a long time. When the capital was moved to Chang'an, a fire burned all the palaces and palaces in Luoyang.

But Luoyang is still the former capital of the Han court.

Dong Zhuo supported Liu Bian, and they followed Liu Xie.

The two emperors of the East and the West stand side by side, no matter how much they fight and how much they dispute.

Chang'an and Luoyang, the two former capitals of the Han court, are still in the hands of the Han family, and they still retain a little bit of face.

But now, this shame-covering cloth was ripped off, thrown on the ground, and trampled on countless times.

Both East and West have fallen into the hands of moth thieves...

"Yuan Shao secretly contacted the moth thief, and the covenant should have been reached. Qingzhou soldiers entered Taishan County, Jibei Kingdom..."

Wang Yue continued to report what happened on the front line for everyone, and as Wang Yue's voice sounded again in the hall, there began to be loud noises.

The fall of Luoyang before just made everyone feel at a loss.

But the news that Wang Yue said now, even people who don't understand military affairs can understand how critical the situation is.

Taishan, Henan, Dongjun, three directions.

In other words, there are enemies in the east, west, and north directions...

Previously, the entire Chendu court had been busy for a whole month in order to prepare for the Battle of Dongjun.

Soldiers from all over the country gathered along the official road to the north of Chendu, and one carriage after another almost filled the official road.

Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan at the time when his army was strong and his prestige was at its peak, and no one had the confidence to win.

During this period of time, a lot of documents of victory had just been sent from the front line, which calmed everyone's minds, but at this juncture, troubles broke out again.

Liu Chong tried his best to control his expression, but he couldn't help frowning.

The news of Dong Zhuo's defeat had already been heard long ago. It is not a secret that Xu An captured Chang'an and took control of the Guanzhong area.

Wang Yun, Huangfusong, Gai Xun and other ministers of the Chang'an court escorted Liu Bian to Zhisuoyuan County in Nanyang County.

This matter made Liu Chong feel a little anxious.

Now those people are really hot potatoes, and Liu Bian's matter is not difficult.

Liu Xie is the son of heaven who obeyed the edict and ascended the throne in the Luoyang Palace. Dong Zhuo's abolition of the emperor is not in accordance with the etiquette. As long as we grasp this point, and now that Dong Zhuo is defeated, all the officials of the Chen Du court, the family includes Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, etc. Everyone is famous and respects Liu Xie as the emperor.

Liu Bian had little influence on Liu Xie's position as the emperor, and even had benefits.

After Liu Bian's abdication, after the chaos of the Eastern and Western emperors disappearing, Liu Xie will be the only orthodox, the only emperor.

It was not Liu Bian who gave Liu Chong a headache, but Wang Yun and others.

One of Huangfusong and Gai Xun is Yilang, and the other is just a nominal captain of Yueqi. They are highly respected and good at military strategy. Entering the court will be of great benefit to the court.

But the affairs of Wang Yun and other Chang'an court ministers are very difficult.

Now in the court of Chen Du, although Sangong has not been formally appointed, Jiuqing and many other official positions have already been filled.

Since Wang Yun and others, how to arrange them has been a big problem.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

The issue of relocation of the people in the Chang'an court has not been resolved, and the frontline battle has fluctuated again, and everyone's hearts are involuntarily sinking.

Seeing that the crowd looked terrified, Xun Yu first glanced at Liu Chong, and after getting the consent, he straightened his body and said aloud.

"In fact, there is no need to worry about the battle in Dongjun. Sun Shijun is brave and good at fighting. This time, because of the danger caused by the moth thief, he will be able to successfully withdraw to Dongjun."

"Although the moth thieves have occupied Luoyang, the four passes of Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuanyuan, and Xuanmen are still in the hands of our army. In fact, there is no danger in the hinterland of our army."

Liu Chong stood up and said calmly.

"What Wen Ruo said is not wrong. The situation is changing now, but our army still has the advantage. You don't need to panic, calm the hearts of the people, and stabilize the government. Our army will definitely win the battle."

Liu Chong's voice is high and contagious.

Everyone was a little uneasy at first, but after hearing Xun Yu's analysis and the confident Liu Chong, they felt much more at ease.

I have to say that Liu Chong is indeed a good leader.

Liu Chong was eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance and a dignified appearance. His steps were majestic, his voice was thick and powerful, and every word he said was very contagious, making people involuntarily want to be convinced.

He can not only respect the corporals, but also stand up and stabilize the situation at critical moments.

Now that Liu Chong stood up, everyone seemed to have found their backbone, and quickly calmed down.

After all, Liu Chong has experienced quite a lot of troubles, and now he is slowly changing from a vassal king who is completely ignorant of politics to a qualified chariot general.

The time for the meeting was not long, and with the help of Xun Yu and Luo Jun, Liu Chong quickly arranged the affairs.

Liu Xie was young and did not interfere with Liu Chong's arrangements. When he worshiped Liu Chong as the Chariot General, he had already handed over the power to Liu Chong.

Military affairs are basically under the control of Sun Jian, while government affairs are basically under the jurisdiction of Liu Chong.

Because of this, Liu Chong did not ignore Liu Xie. Every time he made a decision, he would ask Liu Xie for advice, and arrange affairs after receiving an affirmative answer.

Among the feudal lords in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Chong was definitely a different kind.

Liu Chong was once deceived by the Prime Minister Wei Min and committed a serious crime. Finally, Emperor Ling of Han issued an edict to pardon Liu Chong and not to pursue him. Liu Chong was very grateful to Liu Hong for this.

After this incident, Liu Chong changed his previous appearance and no longer indulged in magic arts.

The former Prime Minister Luo Jun was not mediocre.

When Luo Jun was a young official in Kuaiji County, the prefect saw that he was proficient in classics and history, as well as military strategy, so he paid special attention to him and observed him carefully.

In the end, Luo Jun's character and ability were recognized, and Luo Jun was named "Xiaolian". Therefore, Luo Jun was called to serve in Luoyang, Kyoto.

Later, Liu Hong appointed Luo Jun as the Prime Minister of Chen Guo. When Luo Jun arrived in Chen Guo, he was like a fish in water, and the two got along well.

Luo Jun and Liu Chong worked together, and the people of Chen Guo lived in peace and security. Liu Chong wrote letters many times, praising Luo Jun as a virtuous prime minister.

At the end of the meeting, everyone bid farewell to the emperor and resigned one after another, but Liu Chong, Xun Yu and others were left behind by Wang Yue.

Habayashi Wei who was waiting outside the hall led Liu Chong and others into the side hall.

Xun Yu was sitting at the table, besides Liu Chong and Luo Jun, there were only two other people in the side hall, both of whom Xun Yu knew, and as an officer of General Cheqi, he was no stranger to them.

One of them was engaged in Kuaiyue in Jingzhou, with different characters.

The Kuai family is one of the prominent families in Nanjun, Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue is the leader of the younger generation of the Kuai family.

General He Jin also hired him as Dong Cao because he heard that he was good at strategy.

Kuai Yue once advised He Jin to take the initiative and kill the eunuch as soon as possible, but He Jin hesitated.

Therefore, Kuai Yue predicted that He Jin would be defeated, so he applied to He Jin for Ruyang order.

In the end, as expected, He Jin was killed by an eunuch, and Kuai Yue had already gone to Ruyang to take office, and Xun Yu and Kuai Yue had intersected at that time.

The other person is Wang Lang, who is in charge of Xuzhou's governance.

Kuai Yue represented Liu Biao, Mu of Jingzhou, while Wang Lang represented Tao Qian, Mu of Xuzhou.

Xun Yu knew that the previous discussion in the hall was just to calm people's hearts, and the side hall was the place for real conversation.

Liu Xie soon came to the side hall.

"The war in Dongjun is critical, Luoyang has fallen, and the moth bandits have already entered the pass. The details of various affairs are on the silk script. Please take a look."

Liu Xieduan sat at the head with a solemn expression. Although he was still young, he already had the air of a king in his behavior. When he spoke, he spoke clearly and his voice was strong and firm.

Xun Yu unfolded the silk script on the desk, and the silk script mentioned above was much more detailed than what Wang Yue said, and there were even details in many places.

It even goes so far as to write clearly how many people in Qingzhou who entered Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom clearly, and let Xun Yu have a general understanding of the information about the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang.

Xun Yu squinted his eyes slightly. He knew the existence of the Embroidered Clothes Emissary, but he did not expect that the Embroidered Clothes Emissary, who had been hit hard before, seemed to be rejuvenated.

Xun Yu has always had a bad feeling about the Embroidered Clothes Emissary, but he also knows that in the current situation, there must be a team that can compete with the Yellow Turban Army Eagle Wolf Guard and Yuan Shao's demons.

Xun Yu raised his head and looked at Wang Yue, the leader of the Habayashi Guard, from the corner of his eye.

Wang Yue commanded the Habayashi guards, controlled the palace ban, and commanded the embroidered clothes envoys. His power was too great...

Xun Yu still vividly remembers Jian Shuo leading the embroidered clothes envoys, setting up prisons, and hunting and killing opposition forces.

As with anything, balance is extremely important.

But now the court of Chen Du is in chaos at the same time...

Xun Yu's face slowly became heavy. He had clearly seen the dawn of victory, but at this moment, more and more problems emerged, and more and more bad situations occurred.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly. Today's Hanting seems to have returned to the time when the wind and rain were turbulent.
