Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 314 Chapter 312, the heroes challenged Dong, and Yuan Kai was about to die
In Li Ru's heart, heaven and man are at war.

However, in the end reason prevailed over emotion.

Li Ru is actually a person with ideals.

He is full of talents and good plans, but because of his humble background, he has never been valued by the court.

Later, when he met Dong Zhuo, he was valued by Dong Zhuo and was reused.

Li Ru voted for Dong Zhuo because Dong Zhuo had the idea of ​​helping the poor.

Therefore, Li Ru's allegiance to Dong Zhuo is not Dong Zhuo himself, but Dong Zhuo's willingness to serve the poor family is in line with Li Ru's wish.

But now, Dong Zhuo is about to die, and Chen Yuan, who wants to kill Dong Zhuo, may pay more attention to poor families than Dong Zhuo.

If it weren't for Li Ru being Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, maybe Li Ru would have defected without hesitation in his heart.

Therefore, it is understandable that Li Ru turned his back on him now and planned to follow Chen Yuan's ideas.

Seeing Li Ru's eyes becoming firmer, Jia Xu knew that Li Ru had made a decision.

Although Jia Xu has mentioned Xiaolian, his family background is not very good. He was able to promote Xiaolian because he was favored by the famous scholar Yan Zhong.

When Jia Xu was young, the famous scholar Yan Zhong thought he was different, saying that he had the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

People don't know when they were young, but Yan Zhong in Hanyang is different, which is called good and flat.

Yan Zhong, to be honest, is a bit unclear.

In the first year of Zhongping, Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban Rebel Army, and Yan Zhong persuaded him to take the opportunity for a coup, but Huangfu Song refused and fled.

From this point of view, this guy is a traitor.

However, in the sixth year of Zhongping, after the rebel leader Kingdom was abolished, Yan Zhong was coerced by Han Sui and Ma Teng to become the new rebel leader, commanding 36 rebel troops, known as General Cheqi.

But soon after, Yan Zhong died angrily because he refused to help the tyrant.

From this point of view, this guy seems to be a loyal minister again.

So, you have no idea what the hell this guy is thinking.

Jia Xu is also on the side of the poor family psychologically.

To be honest, the reason why Jia Xu didn't follow Liu Bei happily was because he was really not very optimistic about Jingzhou before.

He felt that some of Jingzhou's policies had a good starting point, but they were too aggressive.

Therefore, he escaped Chen Yuan's search many times.

This time, Jia Xu wanted to join her.

The willingness is very simple, Jingzhou already has the strength to sweep the world.

Not to mention how powerful Jingzhou itself is, Chen Yuan's own strength alone is already unrivaled.

When will you not hug your thigh at this time?

However, you must also pay attention to the method and method of hugging the thigh, so that you can't let others look down on you.

Therefore, this is Jia Xu's contribution to Chen Yuan, letting the Xiliang army follow Chen Yuan's ideas.

Kill hundreds of officials and protect the people.

The two reached an agreement, and in an instant Dong Zhuo was backstabbed by the two most resourceful men in the Xiliang army.

I don't know what Dong Zhuo will think.

Let's not talk about Dong Zhuo's side first, and then talk about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Although they left from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo made them both prefects.

One is the prefect of Bohai, and the other is the prefect of Dongjun.

Both of them accepted it honestly.

It's a joke, why not accept it, you must know that Dong Zhuo's current official position still has legal effect.

Dong Zhuo now represents the imperial court.

However, the fact that the two accepted the official position did not mean that the two were obedient to Dong Zhuo.

Still on the path of history.

First, Cao Cao issued a corrective edict, reported to various sources, and then recruited volunteers, erected a white flag of recruitment, and wrote the word "loyalty".Within a few days, the applicants gathered like rain.

One day, a man from Yangping Weiguo, surnamed Le, named Jin, and named Wenqian, came to vote for Cao Cao.

Another Shanyang Julu man, surnamed Li, surnamed Dian, and styled Mancheng, also came to vote for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao remained as an official in front of the account.

There is also Xiahoudun, a native of Peiguoqiao, named Yuan Rang, after Xiahouying. He has learned spears and sticks since he was a child.

When I heard that Cao Cao raised an army, he and his younger brother Xia Houyuan each brought thousands of strong men to the meeting.

The brothers of these two people are the brothers of Cao Song: Cao Song, the father of Cao, was originally the son of Xiahou's family, Guofang and Cao's family, so they are of the same family.

Within a few days, the Cao brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong each led more than a thousand troops to help.

Cao Ren's style name is Zixiao, Cao Hong's style name is Zilian: the two are skilled in bow and horse, and are proficient in martial arts.

Cao was overjoyed and trained the army and horses in the county.

Wei Hong used all his family wealth to buy Yijia flags and flags.

There are countless people who send food from all over the world.

Coupled with the energy of Dongjun Benshan, Cao Cao's reputation was greatly enhanced for a while, and there were more than [-] troops under his command.

Yuan Shao got Cao Cao's imperial edict, so he gathered together civil and military forces, led [-] troops, and left Bohai to form an alliance with Cao Cao.

Operate the call to reach the counties.The call to action said:

Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceives the sky and the earth, destroys the country and kills the monarch; defiles the palace and bans, and harms living beings; the wolf is cruel and cruel, and the sins are full!Today, in accordance with the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of righteous soldiers have been assembled, vowing to sweep away China and slaughter the gang of murderers.Wang Xingyi division, to vent the public anger; support the royal family, save the people.When the decree arrives, you can quickly follow it!
After Cao issued a call to action, all the princes in the towns raised their troops to respond:

In the first town, the later general Runan prefect Yuan Shu.In the second town, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.In the third town, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou.In the fourth town, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou.In the fifth town, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County.In the sixth town, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.In the seventh town, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Sanyo.In the eighth town, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei.In the ninth town, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai.In the tenth town, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling. No.11 Town, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou. No.12 town, Xiliang prefect Ma Teng. No.13 Town, Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan. No.14 town, Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang. No.15 Town, Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, the Marquis of Qi Township.

In addition, Cao Cao, the prefect of the East County, can be regarded as the prince of the sixteen towns. Why are there two less than in history?
That's because Jingzhou was taken by Liu Bei, Sun Jian didn't get the prefect of Changsha as in history, and the prefect of Dongjun was taken by Cao Cao, so the former prefect of Dongjun, Qiao Mao, never appeared.

Another change is that Yuan Shu was supposed to be the prefect of Nanyang at this time, but now Nanyang belongs to Liu Bei. Naturally, the Yuan family couldn't make fun of themselves and find a prefect of Nanyang for Yuan Shu, so they went to Runan.

Runan is Yuan's hometown, and Yuan Shu is strictly not allowed to return to Runan as the prefect.

However, at this time, the court couldn't take care of it.

The princes of the world responded one after another, but there was no movement from Jingzhou, which made all the eyes of the world focus on Jingzhou.

You must know that Liu Bei is not only the shepherd of Jingzhou, but also the uncle of the emperor. He sits in Jingzhou, with a territory of thousands of miles, tens of millions of people under his rule, tens of thousands of people under his command, and countless strong men under his command. first princes.

No matter in name or strength, Liu Bei can't justify not sending troops.

Whether Liu Bei wants to send troops, he will naturally send troops.

However, Chen Yuan had already told Liu Bei what to do in Jingzhou once this situation arises.

Therefore, when the princes of the Sixteenth Route appeared in Suanzao, Liu Bei had already ordered an army of [-] to go to Suanzao to wait under the leadership of Liu Bei himself.

There is one thing to say here, the leader of the princes and alliance in real history is not Yuan Shao, but Zang Hong.

The reason is very simple, all these princes have ulterior motives and are unwilling to be the leader of the alliance.

So he elected Zang Hong as the leader.

Zang Hong is a heroic man with a family background of Xiaolian. He was originally the hero of Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling. It was Zang Hong who persuaded Zhang Chao and his brother Zhang Miao to join forces to fight against Dong.

Without hesitation, Zang Hong ascended to the altar and took the oath of blood alliance. Zang Hong's tone was impassioned, his voice was full of emotions, and he exchanged tears.

The oath first denounced Dong Zhuo's crimes, then explained the list of Dong Zhuo's righteous men, and finally made the oath formally.

However, this world has changed a lot because of Chen Yuan.

In addition, this world is a fantasy world, so all the princes of the Seventeen Routes came to Suanzao.

Liu Bei was the last to arrive. When Liu Bei arrived, all the other sixteen princes had already arrived.

As soon as Liu Bei arrived in Suanzao, all the sixteen princes came out to greet him.

Even if Yuan Shao was unwilling, he had no choice but to come forward holding his nose.

The reason is simple, Liu Bei's current status is the highest among them.

Because after Liu Bian ascended the throne, Liu Bei was crowned king.

It was the king of Yan.

This is the king of words.

King titles are also particular. There are two types of kings, prince and county king. Prince is usually a one-word title, such as Qi Wang, Jin Wang, etc. The county king is a lower-level king, usually two words, such as Chen King Liu, King Linzi and so on.

Among the one-word kings, King Qin is the most expensive, followed by King Qi, King Chu, King Yan, King Zhao and the like.

To put it bluntly, it is based on the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

The title of King Qin is actually very rarely granted.

Because it is a bit taboo, you must know that Qin State unified China.

So Liu Bei's King Yan is actually the highest point of the title.

There is no way to advance to the Jin Dynasty. If you want to go one step closer, you will be named the King of Qin, add Jiuxi, and then become the emperor.

The so-called Jiuxi are nine kinds of ritual vessels given by the emperor to princes and ministers with special honors, and they are the expression of the highest courtesy.

Chariots and horses, clothes, Lexian County, Zhuhu, Nabi, Huben, Axe, Bow and Arrow, and Dagger.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with Jiuxi.

But the problem is that almost all the powerful officials who usurped the throne later added Jiuxi, so Jiajiuxi became a synonym for treason.

Of course, this era is not there yet, so it is okay to insist on adding Jiuxi.

At most, it reflects the emperor's attention to Liu Bei.

When Yan Wang Liu Bei arrived, these people naturally had to go out of the camp to meet him.

A large group of people came out of the barracks, bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Welcome His Royal Highness King Yan."

Liu Bei didn't take the big picture, nor did he put on airs like a prince, he got off his horse from a long distance away, walked quickly to the crowd, and gave them a vain support: "Because I was involved in important matters, I am ashamed to lag behind the lords. You are so generous, you should get up quickly."

Originally, I was a little resentful to the princes, but when I heard Liu Bei say this, the resentment in my heart disappeared.

That's right, Liu Bei is different from them. After all, Liu Bei is the King of Yan and the shepherd of Jingzhou. He sent troops to Luoyang to challenge Dong, so there are naturally many things to prepare.

Now among the princes, Cao Cao is temporarily in charge. After all, this guy not only has the official position of the prefect of Dongjun, but also the advocate who issued a false edict to attack Dong Zhuo. In addition, he and Yuan Shao held a sword against Dong Zhuo before and left with a seal. , Cao Cao's prestige today is much stronger than in history.

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Your Highness is serious. We were discussing who should be the leader of the alliance. Now there is no need to discuss. I think the position of leader must belong to His Highness."

Cao Cao didn't have any good intentions in saying this.

Don't look at how attractive the position of leader is, once you become the leader, you can command these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, be majestic and hold supreme authority.

In fact, it's definitely a hot potato.

According to Cao Cao's thinking, Liu Bei would probably refuse.

However, to Cao Cao's surprise, Liu Bei did not refuse, but said: "My lords, this is not a place to discuss matters, how about going to the account first and then discussing?"

Seeing Liu Bei's attitude, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao glanced at each other, feeling bad in their hearts.

Could it be that Liu Bei really wants to be the leader?

According to Cao Cao's thinking, it is most appropriate for the leader Yuan Benchu ​​to do this.

Because Yuan Shao can represent most of the princes here, although Liu Bei has a high status and strong influence, his relationship with most of the princes here may not be considered very good.

Even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were resistant to Liu Bei.

The reason is very simple, everyone in the world knows Liu Bei's thoughts.

That is to fight against the powerful, and to make a name for the poor and even ordinary people.

For a powerful family, this is simply treason.

If it weren't for Liu Bei's strength, he couldn't be suppressed now, maybe they would have come to challenge Liu long ago.

A group of people entered the big tent full of thoughts, and as soon as they entered the tent, they found a problem.

So where is Liu Bei sitting?
Originally, Yuan Shao was the master, but now that Liu Bei is here, can Yuan Shao still be the master?
Isn't this looking down on Liu Bei, the King of Yan?
But if Liu Bei is to take the lead, where will Yuan Shao put his face?
Fortunately, Liu Bei didn't care much about this, so he went directly to the first seat on the left and sat down.

This position originally belonged to Cao Cao. Seeing Liu Bei taking his own position, Cao Cao had no objection at all, and even secretly felt happy in his heart.

It seems that Liu Bei has no intention of competing to be the leader.

Of course, Liu Bei did not intend to be the leader of the alliance. The reason is very simple, that is, Chen Yuan told Liu Bei that once this happens, don't compete for the position of leader, but be an honorary leader or deputy leader.

The reason for not being the leader is that Chen Yuan hoped that there would be no changes in the first half of the war against Dong, and it would be best to be the same as in history.

To be the honorary leader or deputy leader, Chen Yuan hoped that once Dong Zhuo was beaten to quit, Liu Bei could forcibly take over the power and command the allied forces of the princes to enter Luoyang.

As for how to break into Luoyang?

That's very simple, because Chen Yuan has already arranged it.

Hulao Pass, Sishui Pass and so on have already been replaced by people from Jingzhou.

Even the soldiers among them are all Jingzhou soldiers.

It's just acting now.

Use the heroes to force Dong Zhuo to kill the ministers of the court.

Otherwise, Dong Zhuo is not a fool, he would not cut down the ministers of the court at will.

But now, many officials he appointed have come out to crusade against him.

How could Dong Zhuo not be angry?

He will feel humiliated and betrayed.

Yuan Huai is not far from death.
