The great man will live forever

Chapter 322: People are hard to change

Dong Zhuo was destroyed, but the princes did not stop their conquests.

Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and expanded his territory at all times. Gongsun Zan had great power in Youzhou. Both of them were big bosses in the north, so they naturally fought fiercely. Who doesn't want to unify the north?

When Sun Jian invaded Luoyang, he found the jade seal in the well.

When Yuan Shu learned of this, he detained Sun Jian's wife and forced Sun Jian to hand over the jade seal.

After that, Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang and Yangzhou. He was the strongest among the princes. He was always at war with Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

Yizhou was under the control of Liu Yan. At first, the mother of Zhang Lu, the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Road, was beautiful, knew about ghosts and ghosts, and had contacts with Liu Yan's family. In fact, she probably climbed into Liu Yan's bed.

As soon as Liu Yan was happy, he appointed Zhang Lu as the governor of the army, and together with Zhang Xiu, the other army commander, attacked Hanzhong County and killed Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong.

After Zhang Lu gained power in Hanzhong, he killed Zhang Xiu, cut off traffic, and beheaded Han envoys. This caused a feud between the Liu and Zhang families.

Liu Yan then cut off contact with the central court on the grounds that rice thieves were causing trouble and blocking traffic.

The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army cannot be ignored. In a battle, Li Su was defeated, fled back to Hongnong, and was executed by Lu Bu.

Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei Province, Wan Qian, a state official, and others came to Dongjun to welcome Cao Cao to lead Yanzhou Mu.

Now if we keep the army in Shaanxian County to guard the dangerous points, although it will appease the Liangzhou people, it will make the Kwantung generals suspicious, which is not acceptable.

Lu Bu believed that he was successful in killing Dong Zhuo and boasted about it everywhere. He was disappointed many times and gradually became unhappy. The two had some conflicts.

Now we are neither pardoned nor our army disbanded.

In the second year of Chuping (191), the Black Mountain bandits Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu and others led more than people to attack Wei and Dongjun, but Wang Hu, the prefect of Dongjun, could not resist.

Cao Cao had no choice but to find some troops, pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army, attack Yanzhou, and then send out more troops himself.

Therefore, he did not issue a pardon, but prepared to disband all the troops commanded by Dong Zhuo.

It is also character that determines destiny. Since Niu Fu defeated Li Su, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, he is the biggest general in Xiliang.

Cao Cao collected his elite troops and formed an army, known as Qingzhou Soldiers.

Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, so he was naturally among those to be executed. Unwilling to die, he led his army to attack Li Su.

Forget it, Wang Yun originally discussed with his subordinate Sun Rui and planned to issue a special edict to pardon Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao led his army into Dongjun and defeated Bailuo in Puyang. Yuan Shao therefore appointed Cao Cao as the prefect of Dongjun, and the place of governance was Dongwuyang.

In this way, it is not as fast and easy as it was in history, but Tao Qian still occupies Xuzhou...

At first, Lu Bu advised Wang Yun to kill all Dong Zhuo's tribe, but Wang Yun didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said: "These people are not guilty and cannot be executed."

Surprisingly, Wang Yun refused because he believed that the rebel generals in Guandong were consistent with himself.

As a result, within a few days, Wang Yun felt hesitant again and said: "Bu Qu was just following his master's orders, and he was not guilty.

The world is becoming more and more chaotic. In short, among the princes, you fight me, I fight you, they are all busy fighting for territory.

The consequences naturally appeared. For a time, there was a rumor among the people that they wanted to kill all Liangzhou people.

Lu Bu also wanted to reward Dong Zhuo's property to the ministers and generals in order to win people's hearts, but Wang Yun did not agree.

He, Wang Yun, had always regarded Lu Bu as a military general, and naturally did not want him to interfere in government affairs.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin joined forces to attack the Yellow Turbans and fought east of Shouzhang. Bao Xin died in the battle. Cao Cao "set up surprise ambushes and fought day and night" and finally defeated the Yellow Turbans.

At this time, someone said to Wang Yun: "The people of Liangzhou have always been afraid of Yuan Shao and the army of Guandong.

He further attacked local powerful people internally and found reasons to kill Wang Xian, Li Quan and more than a dozen people to consolidate his own power. As a result, Yizhou was in a semi-independent state.

But that's all he did. Liu Yan had no ambitions. He only wanted to stick to Yizhou and separatist power.

Huangfu Song can be appointed as a general to lead Dong Zhuo's old troops and stay in Shaanxi County for pacification. "

In the original history, Cao Cao had already occupied a state at this time.

In the third year of Chuping (192), the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army made great progress, and successively defeated the counties of Yanzhou (governing Changyi, southeast of today's Juye County, Shandong Province), and killed Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou.

Guandong is naturally controlled by Dong Zhuo's original subordinates, but it is not far from chaos.

They also spread rumors to each other: "Cai Yong was implicated and executed just because he received Dong Zhuo's trust and kindness.

Good guy, why do the princes of Guandong have the same interests as you?

He really thought that if he killed Dong Zhuo, everything would be over, so he refused to listen to anyone's advice and went his own way.

As a result, the generals who were Dong Zhuo's subordinates were frightened and took control of the army in order to protect themselves.

"Kill!"

Now if we want to pardon them as rebellious people, I am afraid that it will arouse their suspicion and is not a way to reassure them. "

That winter, he obtained more than 300,000 soldiers and a population of more than one million.

Now if the army is disbanded and Hangu Pass is opened, Dong Zhuo's subordinates will definitely be in danger.

But when Zhang Ning fled to Liaodong, he took away the elite Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, so the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans did not rise at all at this time.

Something even more terrifying came. Lu Bu sent Li Su to Shaanxi County to announce the emperor's order to kill Niu Fu.

And Cao Cao was busy occupying Yanzhou, which had already deviated from history.

If the army is disbanded today, we will be slaughtered tomorrow. "

If he inherited Dong Zhuo's legacy, marched eastward, attacked Chang'an, and held the emperor hostage to order the princes, he might be the next Cao Cao.

Or, he could lead his troops back to Liangzhou, occupy Liangzhou, or separate one side.

It's a pity that he can't hold up the wall with his help. He is timid and timid. Even after defeating Li Su, he is still panicked.

Niu Fu even often held the military talisman and took the gun with him to cheer himself up.

What's even more ridiculous is that when he meets guests, he first asks a fortune teller to look at them to see if they have the spirit of rebellion, and then predicts good or bad luck before meeting them.

His subordinate Dong Yue came to see him. Niu Fu asked Zhen Ren to divine and got the "Zui Gua". Zhen Ren was whipped by Dong Yue.

In order to retaliate, the diviner said to Niu Fu: "Fire is better than metal, which is a sign of the external conspiracy to rob the internal."

Niu Fu then killed Dong Yue, which was ridiculous because he could kill people just by divination.

Later, some soldiers in Niu Fu's camp escaped at night, and the camp was shocked. Niu Fu mistakenly thought that the whole camp was rebelled, and he felt scared.

He actually abandoned the army and ran away on his own, taking with him more than twenty cakes of gold, Dabai Zhuying, Chi'er and five or six other people to escape from the city and cross the Yellow River north.

Chi'er and others were greedy for the treasure and said to Niu Fu: "You can go to the north of the city, where there are horses."

When they arrived at the top of the city, Chi'er and others tied Niu Fu's waist with a rope and lowered him from the top of the city.

When they were a few feet above the ground, Chi'er and others let go of the rope, "Crack!"

Ushisuke fell to the ground and was injured in the waist, unable to move.

Chi'er and others took the opportunity to snatch the treasure, and then killed Niu Fu together and sent his head to Chang'an.

Good guy, he could have done great things and even separated himself from one party, but he ended up dead like this.

In troubled times, having soldiers is king. If Liu Bei had soldiers like him, he would have occupied a state long ago.

I have to say that God is helping Wang Yun, which shows that he also has good luck.

Unfortunately, good luck will not always favor him.

At first, Niu Fu sent Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to send troops to Guandong to defeat Zhu Jun.

After Li Jue and others learned that Dong Zhuo had been killed, they became angry with the Bingzhou people and executed all the hundreds of Bingzhou people in the army.

After they won the war and returned to Shaanxi County, they found that Niu Fu was dead. They decided to break up and sent people to Chang'an to request amnesty. This is another great opportunity. As long as Wang Yun pardons them or controls them, what will happen next will not happen.

Unfortunately, Wang Yun was stubborn. He believed that a general amnesty had already been issued after executing Dong Zhuo and that he could not be pardoned again within this year, so he did not allow it.

It was over now, and all the generals in Shaanxi County were in panic. Some said they should run away, while others said they had rebelled. Everyone had different opinions.

At this time, a man stood up and said: "If you abandon the army and go alone, the commander of the pavilion can restrain you; why not lead the army to the west to attack Chang'an, avenge Dong Gong, serve the country, and rectify the world; if If they don’t agree, it’s not too late to leave.”

This person is Jia Xu.

At first, Li Ru felt that he was talented and resourceful, and was afraid that Dong Zhuo would steal his limelight, so he tried to get him away and moved him to Niu Fu's side.

As for Li Ru himself, before Dong Zhuo was about to die, he had a premonition and found a way to retreat.

After hearing this, Li Jue was deeply convinced, and said to the generals: "The imperial court refuses to pardon us, and we deserve to be executed, so we might as well fight to the death with them.

If he attacks Chang'an, if he succeeds, he can conquer the world; if he fails, he can rob the women and property of the third assistant, go west to Longshang, return to his hometown and become a thief, and he can live for at least a few more years. "

"Yes, that's what General Lee said!"

"Okay, then attack Chang'an!"

"Yes, avenge the Prime Minister!"

All the generals agreed with Li Jue's plan, so they made a bloody alliance and led thousands of troops to attack Chang'an westward.

Hearing that Li Jue and others counterattacked Chang'an, Wang Yun was a little surprised and scared at this moment, but who was he?
He was Situ, a man who had even wiped out Dong Zhuo, so he would be afraid of these people.

After some thought, he thought that Hu Zhen and Yang Zhengxiu were both prestigious figures in Liangzhou, so he summoned Hu Zhen and Yang Zhengxiu and wanted them to go to the east to meet Li Jue and others to explain the misunderstanding.

Originally, if the misunderstanding was explained clearly, there would be no big problem. After all, Li Jue and others actually just want to survive. Fighting means killing people. Who is willing to fight if they can get the desired result without fighting?

The funny thing is, when Wang Yun met them, he did not look pleasant. Instead, he turned his face to the sky, looked at people with his nostrils, and said shamelessly: "Guandong rats, what do you want to do to be evil? Do you please call me?"

Whoever sees this attitude will like it. I am not your dog.

So, the two of them went on the surface, but actually recruited troops to Chang'an.

Wang Yun also sent Dong Zhuo's old generals Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to attack Li Jue and Guo Si in Xinfeng.

Good guy, I don't want to see others, but I still want to reuse them. What kind of operation is this?
The result was obvious. Hu Zhen was concerned about the Xiliang generals and watched the battle from the sidelines without sending troops.

Xu Rong died in battle, and he naturally led his troops to surrender.

Li Jue gathered troops along the way. When he arrived in Chang'an, there were more than 100,000 troops. He joined Dong Zhuo's old troops Fan Chou, Li Meng and others to attack Chang'an and besieged the city for eight days.

Originally, the walls of Chang'an were tall, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were not vegetarians. For a while, the Xiliang soldiers could not attack at all.

It's a pity that no matter how strong the city wall is, it can't withstand someone destroying it inside.

On the first day of June, soldiers from Shu County under Lu Bu rebelled, and the rebels led Xiliang soldiers into the city.

"what!"

"help!"

"Kill!"

Li Jue and others allowed the soldiers to loot and loot.

For a time, Chang'an was filled with mourning. Lu Bu and Li Jue and others fought in the city. After a battle, they couldn't defeat them.

Lu Bu had no choice but to lead hundreds of cavalry, hung Dong Zhuo's head on the saddle, and broke out.

He stopped his horse outside Qingsuo Gate and called Wang Yun to escape with him. Wang Yun burst into tears. He regretted it and said with a sad smile, "If I can be inspired by the spirit of Sheji, I can go to Anguo, that's my wish."
If he doesn't get it, he will sacrifice himself to death.

The young people in the imperial court are just relying on me. I can't bear to be able to avoid it when faced with difficulties. Work hard to thank the Dukes of Guandong and keep the country in mind! "

He has integrity and doesn't want to escape.

Of course, he was not the only one with integrity. Taichang Zhongfu shouted: "As a minister of the country, you cannot restrain violence and resist insults, and use your bare sword to the palace to put him in peace!"

Then he fought hard and died.

Li Jue, Guo Bin and others were stationed at Yemen of Nangong and killed the imperial servant Lu Kui, Dahonglu Zhou Huan, Chengmen captain Cui Lie, Zhaoqi captain Wang Qi and others.

More than 10,000 court officials and civilians were killed, and corpses were scattered throughout the streets.

The culprit of all this was not only the Xiliang soldiers but also Wang Yun's improper handling.

At this time, Wang Yun hurriedly supported Emperor Xian and fled up to Xuanping Gate to avoid the rebels.

Li Jue and others kowtowed to the ground at the foot of the city. Emperor Xianhan asked them, "What do you want to do by indulging the soldiers and killing the people?"

Li Jue said: "Dong Zhuo was loyal to Your Majesty, but was killed by Lu Bu for no reason. We avenged Dong Zhuo and did not dare to do anything rebellious.

After the matter is settled, we are willing to go to Tingwei to accept the blame. "

Even the arrogant and evil Xiliang generals such as Li Jue did not dare to kill the emperor, let alone disobey the emperor in public. However, the Sima family later did everything.

They sent troops to surround the Xuanping Gate Tower, signed a petition together, and asked Situ Wang Yun to come forward, asking: "What crime is Grand Master Dong Zhuo guilty of?"

Wang Yun was forced to go downstairs to meet the Xiliang generals.

On the second day of the sixth lunar month, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict granting amnesty to the whole country.

He was forced to have no choice but to appoint Li Jue as General Yangwu, Guo Bang as General Yanglie, Fan Chou and others as General Zhonglang, and granted great titles to the generals of Xiliang.

Li Jue and others only imprisoned Wang Yun but did not kill him because they were afraid.

He was not afraid of Wang Yun's reputation, but afraid of his men.

Because not long ago, Wang Yun appointed Song Yi, a native of the same county, as Fengyi on the left and Wang Hong as Fufeng on the right.

These two places, together with Chang'an, are called Sanfu and are extremely important.

People in the Western Han Dynasty have more feelings for those who promote themselves and have the kindness of knowing others than the country.

Just like Dong Zhuo died, Cai Yong would lament for him.

The trial matchmaker will be shattered to pieces for the Yuan family, Zhuge Liang will devote himself to Liu Bei and die, Jiang Wei will use his body as a trap for Zhuge Liang, and harm the three sages with one plan...

Therefore, Li Jue wanted to kill Wang Yun, but he was afraid that Song Yi and Wang Hong would rebel.

So, he first asked the emperor to issue an edict to recruit Song Yi and Wang Hong. Wang Hong also noticed something and sent someone to tell Song Yi: "Guo Si and Li didn't dare to kill Wang Yun because we were outside.

If you answer the call today, your entire family will be killed tomorrow. Is there anything you can do? "

Song Yi is a foolish and loyal man. He actually said: "Although misfortune and fortune are unpredictable, the emperor's edict cannot be disobeyed."

Wang Hong's envoy said: "The rebels in the Guandong states and counties seem to be boiling, and they want to kill Dong Zhuo.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, his party can be easily subdued. If we raise troops to attack Li and others together and coordinate with the Kwantung armies, this is the best way to turn disaster into blessing. "

But Song Yi firmly disagreed, and Wang Hong couldn't accomplish anything alone, so they both accepted the call.

On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, Li arrested Wang Yun, Song Yi, and Wang Hong, and executed them all. Wang Yun's family members were also killed.

Before Wang Hong died, he cursed: "Song Yi, you useless rotten scholar, I'm really not qualified to discuss national affairs with you!"

He regretted it, and maybe Song Yi also regretted it.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. Wang Yun may not regret it!
At the beginning, he had many opportunities, but unfortunately, his arrogance, arrogance, and willfulness pushed him to this point step by step.

Now he is dead!

There will never be a shortage of people like him in future generations. It is difficult for people to learn lessons from history.

Because human nature is like this and it never changes!
