I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 220, Yuan Wei's Miscalculation
Yuan Shao and the others can form an army of hundreds of thousands in a very short period of time.Even if you don't count other places in the Han Dynasty, they still occupy more than a dozen of the richest and most populous counties in the Han Dynasty. Compared with Dong Zhuo who can barely rely on Luoyang City, their strength is far superior to Dong Zhuo.

But this does not change their embarrassing identities, that is, they have no legitimate reason to attack Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo represents the Han Dynasty, and they are all courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and using courtiers to attack the monarch is rebellion.

In this regard, it is convenient for them without Xu Wei. Xu Wei is an ordinary person. If he can't survive, he can rebel, and he doesn't need anyone's approval. His rebellion is to break the shackles.

But Yuan Shao and the others, the noble families, said the old saying is that the world has received the grace of the emperor, especially the Yuan family, which has four generations and three princes, has the least reason to rebel. Their followers are the beneficiaries of this set of rules. If Yuan Shao dared to claim the title of emperor, he would be breaking the system that was beneficial to them. This was unacceptable to Yuan Shao's followers, even his former disciples of the Yuan family would leave Yuan Shao!

They thought they could strip Dong Zhuo of his status as the country's prime minister and attack him as a big man's national thief. After all, Dong Zhuo's actions seriously hurt the interests of scholars.But obviously this kind of thing is not enough for them. The prefects of other counties and counties in the world still recognize Dong Zhuo's status as the country's prime minister. Although the scholars in other places hate Dong Zhuo, they don't hate it to the extent that they want to rebel.

As long as most of the big Han's prefects still recognize Dong Zhuo's identity, they are the ones who rebel, and it will be difficult for them to gather the strength of the whole big man to deal with Dong Zhuo!

Obviously, just relying on Dong Zhuo's dominance is not enough to maintain their rebellious righteousness. They want a high-sounding reason for the world to accept!
So Xun Chen asked anxiously: "The Tai Tuo has no other explanation. Although Dong Zhuo is domineering, he is not to the extent of anger and resentment. Huangfu Song's idea is to represent the idea of ​​the world's prefect. Then we will really become rebellious. I'm afraid we The power of more than a dozen counties is not Dong Zhuo's opponent at all?"

No wonder Xun Chen was in such a hurry, the Xun family was just a class of elites inferior to the Yuan family, he only joined because he was good friends with Yuan Shao, and he also thought Dong Zhuo was a treacherous official who would bring disaster to the country.

But judging from the status of this month, the rest of the world seems to have a completely different opinion from them. They seem to think that they are a group of noble second generations messing around in the Central Plains, and the prefects in other places don't communicate with them at all. It's too bad.

At this time, the attendant took a letter to Yuan Shao, saying that Yuan Kai gave it to him!

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, he opened the letter to read, and then he saw something that made him dumbfounded,

Yuan Kui told him that if he wanted to grasp righteousness, he had to support King Hongnong Liu Bian as emperor, so that they would have righteousness to deal with Dong Zhuo!

After Yuan Shao finished reading the letter, he gave the letter to others to read. Xu You and the others didn't know what to say for a while!

The reason why everyone pushed Dong Zhuo to abolish the Young Emperor was because Yuan Shao had killed all of He Jinman's family, and everyone was worried that keeping the Young Emperor and Queen Mother He would retaliate against the nobles headed by the Yuan family.Now that King Hongli was pushed out, didn't he slap himself in the mouth?

Especially when you abolished the young emperor, and now you have established the young emperor, what does the young emperor think, will he regard the Yuan family as treacherous ministers like Liang Ji!

Yuan Shao dared to be 100% sure that as long as the young emperor had the opportunity, he would definitely kill the nine clans of his Yuan family. This is not raising a tiger by his side!

Yuan Shao broke into a cold sweat when he thought of Liang Ji's fate. Everyone said that Yuan's family was the number one family of the big man, but it was far behind Liang's family.

Nine people from the Liang family were enshrined as marquises, three became queens, six became nobles, two generals came out, seven of their wives and daughters enjoyed food, three married princesses, and the rest were high officials. There are fifty-seven people from , general, Yin, and school.

Liang Ji has been in power for more than [-] years, and his arrogance reached the extreme. He ran rampant inside and outside the palace, and all officials dared not face him squarely, and no one dared to disobey his orders.Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty lost his power and could not personally intervene in anything.But once Hengdi seized the opportunity, a family with hundreds of years, no matter how powerful he was before, would be like ants in the face of imperial power, and the Liang family disappeared like this.

After they all read Yuan Kai's letter, their eyes lit up. The righteousness they hadn't found was finally brought by Yuan Wei. Is there any more suitable righteousness than King Hongli in this world?
If they hold high the banner of King Hongli, not to mention letting all the county guards stand on their side, but at least they will not help Dong Zhuo anymore!

Guo Tu was overjoyed after reading Yuan Kai's letter and said: "Benchu! Taifu finally found enough righteousness for us to fight against Dong Zhuo. We rescued King Hongli and unfurled the banner of King Hongli. Presumably Luoyang City will also be on the lookout. down!"

Xu You sneered and said, "Although King Hongli has become the deposed emperor, he has been imprisoned by Dong Zhuo near Changqiu Palace in Nangong. How can we save people!"

Feng Ji thought for a while and said: "With Taifu's power in Luoyang City, can't we rescue King Hongli? As long as King Hongli escapes from Luoyang City, we can let him ascend the throne and become emperor in Yanzhou again. Then we will fight Dong Zhuo. It is justifiable to crusade against rebellion!"

Xun Chen also wanted to smile more: "At that time, we will defeat Dong Zhuo and let King Hongnong return to Luoyang City. Those of us who participated in the challenge of Dong Daye will become the heroes who saved the great man from peril."

This is the most important point, they will not be a drag on the family if they become heroes!

The others also became beaming, Yuan Wei's move can be said to have rescued them from the shackles of rebellion!
Everyone now finally has the confidence to point at Dong Zhuo righteously. With this small change, the atmosphere here has completely changed. The morale of Yuan Shao's friends has been greatly boosted, and they are all trying to figure out how to bring the young emperor out of Luoyang City , although they have no way to defeat Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang, but it is not difficult to bring out a person from Luoyang City, even the young emperor.

Only Yuan Shao forced himself to smile, and the young emperor ascended the throne again, what should the Yuan family do?
What's the point of what they did at the beginning, if I knew it would happen, it would be better to let Dong Zhuo go back to Xiliang, and there wouldn't be so many troubles!
But after they finished discussing and everyone left, Xu You stayed.

Seeing the ugly face, Yuan Shao said with relief: "Don't feel embarrassed at first, the Taifu may not mean that we want us to re-establish King Hongli as emperor, after all, we have already hated King Hongli at the beginning, and we were hated by an emperor. , This is a consequence that no family can bear."

"Master Taifu must have his own way. We just need to train the army with peace of mind. After all, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is not easy to fight. If it is not defeated, it will become the laughing stock of the world!"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes!My lord was originally in Luoyang City. If he really wanted to rescue King Hongli, now that King Hongli had come here, it seemed that this was his lord, who was good at killing people with a borrowed knife!
How did King Hongnong lose his throne?
How did the Empress Dowager He and the He clan perish?
All this has something to do with their Yuan family. My lord wants me to declare to the world with great fanfare that I will re-establish King Hongnong as emperor.

Yuan Shao can imagine how Dong Zhuo, a man who can only hold a knife, will react. He will definitely kill King Hongli in order to cut them off.

But after all, King Hongli became an emperor. Dong Zhuo would be scolded by the world if he dared to do such a thing. Even Huangfusong and Liu Yu joined their alliance to seek Dong. Doom is doomed.

So Yuan Shao and the others began to announce with great fanfare that they started to challenge Dong after receiving the order of King Hongli. The news of killing Dong Zhuo, a treacherous official, quickly spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty!

But Yuan Shao was not happy for a long time. When he was entertaining his relatives and friends who supported him, the spies sent a bad news to him. Dong Zhuo exchanged 5000 iron armor and swords with Shangdang County. Now Lei Gong's soldiers have pointed directly at Wei County. !
Yuan Shao immediately summoned his friends, gritted his teeth and said, "Dong Zhuo, a treacherous minister who has brought disaster to the country and the people, dared to sell my land to Lei Gong, a traitor. Now Lei Gong's troops are directly targeting Wei and Hanoi counties, what should we do? "

Xu You and the others also cursed, because they saw that Lei Gong was a more hateful person than Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo wanted their lives at most, but what Lei Gong did in Bingzhou was digging their roots.

Xin Ping said angrily: "Didn't Huangfu Song have an army of 10? Didn't he always say that he wanted to attack Lei Gong in Bingzhou, and let Huangfu Song fight Lei Gong, so that Lei Gong would have no energy to deal with us!"

Xun Kan's face was filled with embarrassment: "Dong Zhuo has a 3 elite central army, plus 13 Bingzhou, he has more than 20 troops. Dong Zhuo also occupies the eight passes of Luoyang, which is in danger of the Yellow River and Xiaoshan. It is very difficult to defeat Dong Zhuo with our current army, if Dong Zhuo and Lei Gong join forces, Dong Zhuo will have [-] more allies, and our defeat is doomed!"

Xun Kan's words made Yuan Shao and the others break out in cold sweat. They really didn't expect Dong Zhuo to form an alliance with Lei Gong. After all, the big man never compromised on rebellion, so they didn't think of this.

But for the current Dong Zhuo, any rebellion is not as important as Yuan Shao and the others. If Lei Gong can be used to attack them, Dong Zhuo would like them to fight Lei Gong and hurt both.

Yuan Shao soon discovered Dong Zhuo's vicious intention of abandoning Shangdang County. Having Lei Gong in Shangdang County not only allowed Dong Zhuo to have an extra 3 mobile troops, but also made them prepare tens of thousands of soldiers to guard against Lei Gong in Bingzhou. In the meantime, it is equivalent to Dong Zhuo being able to face 10 troops less.

Qiao Mao thought for a while and said: "Dong Zhuo can form an alliance with Lei Gong, why can't we, Lei Gong has no ambitions, although he has 20 elites, but rarely takes the initiative to attack, we have no enmity with Lei Gong, why can't we form an alliance! "

Xu You sneered and said, "Dong Zhuo can take out Jizhou and Youzhou to form an alliance with Lei Gong, do you dare?"

"Lei Gong massacres powerful clans. If you dare to form an alliance with Lei Gong, do you believe that Zhang Chao and the others will immediately sell us to Dong Zhuo, and then rely on Dong Zhuo to deal with Lei Gong? By then we will die without a place to die."

"It's better to give up these unrealistic ideas. Lei Gong is no big deal. Huangfusong and Liu Yu have not been preparing to deal with him. With 18 people in Jizhou and Youzhou, it is enough to fight Leigong. We just need to persuade Huangfu Song and Liu Yu, Lei Gong has no time to deal with us!"

Yuan Shao said helplessly: "In this way, Huangfu Yizhen will not be able to help us eliminate rape!"

At the beginning, his lord, Yuan Kai, calculated that there should be more than 30 troops in the alliance against Dong Zhuo, and the strength is three times that of Dong Zhuo. It stands to reason that they will win!

But when it was actually implemented, he realized that they had thought too well at the beginning. Huangfusong and Liu Yu didn't join them at all, and his lord didn't think that Dong Zhuo would dare to form an alliance with Lei Gong. Maybe it will become Dong Zhuo and Lei Gong's coalition forces 30 to beat him with 10 horses.

At this time, Yuan Shao suddenly understood that his lord is good at playing political battles, but he is a layman when it comes to unfamiliar military battles. All his ideas are just on paper, and he can't actually operate them at all, and there are many loopholes. Now Yuan Shao is very sighing, If they knew this would happen, they made a plan to find a general in the army to check for omissions and fill in the vacancies. It is too late now.

Xun Kan said with a difficult smile: "The deal between Dong Zhuo and Lei Gong is not all bad news. Dong Zhuo sold the land of the big man to rebel. This will let the people of the world see clearly the face of Dong Zhuo as a treacherous minister. The people of insight in the world will definitely support us. Dong Union!"

Feng Ji thought for a while and said: "Now we have to find a way to let Huangfusong and Liu Yu lead the army to attack Lei Gong, otherwise the situation will be too unfavorable for us! Dong Zhuo and Lei Gong are allies, but we and Huangfu Song, Liu Yu Not an ally!"

Yuan Shao looked at his friend and asked: "Which one of you can persuade Huangfusong and Liu Yu to deal with Lei Gong?

It's a pity that they all peeked at each other, these friends of Yuan Shao are all the second generation officials of the Kanto clan, and Huangfusong, a Kansai general, can't play together at all!It has always been the correctness of the Kanto gentry that there is no way to suppress the Kansai gentry, and none of them really have a good time with the Kansai gentry!
Xu You thought for a while and said, "I still have some friends in Jizhou, let me go find Huangfusong!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better to let Han Zhoumu and I persuade Huangfusong, the chance of success is greater!"

Yuan Shao immediately said: "I'll write a letter to Wen Jie right now, you and Wen Jie will go to Zhao State to find Huang Fusong!"

Feng Ji said: "When Liu Yu was the Minister of Ganling, I knew him well, so let me contact Liu Yu!"

Yuan Shao excitedly pulled the arms of the two of them and said, "It's up to the two of you whether the League of Directors can get through this difficult time!"

Han Fu was originally in Zhao State, so Xu You quickly found Han Fu in Zhao State, and then followed him to visit Huangfusong in the barracks.

He saw Huangfu Song and said: "General, Dong Zhuo's intention to harm the country and the people has been revealed. Shangdang County is the most important line of defense for the big Han to defend against Lei Gong, and now Dong Zhuo has 5000 sets of armor. Refers to Hanoi County, which is less than 200 miles away from Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's move can be said to have handed over the heart of a big man to Lei Gong's blade, is the general still watching like this!"

Huangfusong looked at Xu You with a cold face and said: "When you were in Zhongping for five years, you were wanted by the court for rebellion, and the court has not revoked the arrest. Who gave you the courage? ! Do you think this general's sword is bad?"

Ju Yi sneered, grabbed Xu You and asked directly, "General, do you want to execute this traitor on the spot!"

Xu You was frightened into a cold sweat and wanted to struggle to escape, but Ju Yi's arms locked him tightly like a steel frame, keeping him motionless.

At this time, Han Fu immediately said: "Brother Yizhen, please show me some face and forgive Ziyuan's life!"

Only then did Huangfusong let Ju Yi let go of Xu You!

Ju Yi snorted coldly and left Xu You behind!

Although Xu You was arrogant, when he met someone as unreasonable as Huangfusong, he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Han Fu then said: "Brother Yizhen was ordered by the late emperor to encircle and suppress Leigong. Could it be that he sat in Zhao Guo and watched Leigong grow stronger and stronger? If Leigong occupied Luoyang City, how would Brother Yizhen explain to the late emperor!"

Ju Yi said with a cold face: "You two generations messed up and used more than half of the food and grass that our general had saved so hard. I don't need to explain the truth that the soldiers and horses go before the food and grass are moved. Now that there is no food, how can we send out the army? ?

And Lei Gong's army is more than ours, you want to consume all of our Jizhou army, so that Lei Gong's army can drive straight in and capture the entire Jizhou! "

Han Fu was surprised and said: "Brother Yizhen is capable, isn't he just a rebellious opponent of Lei Gong?"

Xu Rong on the side explained: "Han Zhoumu, Lei Gong is no more than ordinary bandits. The territory of the Tengjia Army was defeated by Lei Gong in the Southern and Northern Wars. He wiped out all the Huns and Xianbei people. 10 Lei Gong commanded several battles at the human level, and all of them were victors. In terms of performance alone, Lei Gong can be regarded as the most powerful general in the world!"

Ju Yi also mocked: "None of you have even been on the battlefield. Why do you think Lei Gong is easy to fight? Lei Gong is really as easy to deal with as you said. Just now you asked Yuan Shao to lead tens of thousands of troops from Shangdang County to Ma. Yi, as long as Lei Gong is eliminated, our general has fulfilled the late emperor's last wish, and the 10 troops of the Jizhou Army can join your alliance to deal with Dong Zhuo!"

Han Fu said in surprise, "Really!"

When he wanted to continue talking, the examiner stopped Han Fu and said: "Lei Gong is not an idler, the original army is impossible to defeat Lei Gong's army!"

That's right, the trial match has returned to Jizhou, although he was brought to Luoyang City by Liu Bei at the beginning, and he was supposed to be punished by the canon.

But at that time, there were too many mutinies in Luoyang City, and there was no one to manage them. When Yuan Shao and the others were about to escape from Luoyang City, Yuan Kai remembered that there were such a group of local snakes in Jizhou.So he simply released them and handed them over to Han Fu to bring them to Jizhou, and Han Fu has such a group of local snakes that he can easily take charge of the entire Jizhou regime, and he also snatched a lot of food from Huangfusong!
Huangfusong didn't have time to chat with them, he said sternly: "You take people away from Wei County, I will take care of the entire defense line of Jizhou, and you don't have to worry about Lei Gong attacking you, I will defend Lei Gong in Bingzhou! As long as you don't It’s okay to hinder what would have been done.”

Ju Yi sneered: "Yuan Benchu, the second generation official, will go and fight Dong Zhuo if he has the ability. We don't have time to play with you rich kids!"

The examiner said solemnly: "It is a fact that Dong Zhuo's alliance with the Lord of Thunder has brought disaster to the country. What he has done now is no longer worthy of being the prime minister of a great man. We killed Dong Zhuo for the sake of the righteousness of the world!"

Ju Yi sneered and said, "If you hadn't forced Dong Zhuo to give up Shangdang County, didn't he know that Lei Gong's sword had already reached his chest, but under your mischief, he had to save his life before he could think about anything else thing!"

"You people really don't know what it means. There are 13 elite central troops attacking by more than [-] people, and this elite army still has eight passes to defend. The danger of the Yellow River and Xiaoshan Mountain, I dare not fight such a battle. You actually have Confidence defeating a veteran of many battles like Dong Zhuo is simply a dream.

Xu You, who had been silent at this time, argued unconvinced: "Luoyang City is the center of the great man. There are countless people in Luoyang City who want to overthrow Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo occupies a favorable location, he has lost the hearts of the people. The weather is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as people." And, for Dong Zhuo who has lost the hearts of the people, no matter how elite the army is, it is doomed to defeat!"

Ju Yi sneered: "You people just talk about wars on paper, and the land is not as good as the people! Even if you have internal support and broke through the eight passes of Luoyang, have you ever thought that hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting around Luoyang? If there are a few living people, you smash Luoyang into ruins, this is your way of loyalty! Why didn't my general join you, because he knew that you were destroying the big man!"

"Yuan Kai just lost his head. He clearly has his own advantage in political struggle, but he wants to give up this advantage to fight with a warrior like Dong Zhuo. The plan he made is completely unfeasible. I think you want to split the whole big man, okay? It is convenient for you to become kings and hegemons! The cholera world is not Dong Zhuo at all, but Yuan Kai, the Yuan family!"

Huangfusong said: "If you really have a little bit of loyalty, then leave Jizhou, so that I can unite the power of the whole Jizhou to deal with Lei Gong. The war you are fighting on the south bank of the Yellow River is raging. I will not care about it. I can't control it!"

Han Fu heard Ju Yi's words and left worriedly!
After Xu You got Huangfusong's idea, he also went to repay Yuan Shao!
Han Fu and the others returned to their mansion!
Bo Gengwu sneered and said: "General Huangfu is right. Yuan Shao is not saving the great man, but causing trouble to the great man. They should not have let Dong Zhuo rule the court at the beginning, and after letting Dong Zhuo control the power of the court, they should not use Use force to expel Dong Zhuo. Even a famous general like Huangfusong can see that expulsion by force will not work at all. The Yuan brothers have the ability to expel Dong Zhuo without destroying Luoyang City! Destroy Luoyang City, Yuan Shao How can they say that they are loyal people!"
