Chapter 536: The Heroes Rise at the Right Time (Part )
A few days later, in Hanoi, the situation became tense and undercurrents were surging.

Since Dong Zhuo usurped power, the capital has been in turmoil and officials have been displaced, most of whom fled to Hanoi.

This place belongs to Sili County, and is separated from the capital Luoyang by only a river. It has always been the first choice for people in the capital to avoid disasters and wait and see.

Yuan Shao was one of the fleeing troops:
"False edict!"

"The Champion Marquis must have forged the imperial edict!"

In the Yuan family's private residence in Hanoi, Yuan Shao waved his hand fiercely in front of his confidants and said:

"Everyone in the world knows the character of the late emperor - he is a miser who never gives a penny!"

"Su Yao made many military achievements, suppressed rebellions and saved the emperor. In the end, he could no longer resist and was finally granted a title of nobility."

"And yet they sent a governor from a border county to send him so far away."

"You said that at the last moment, he was willing to give up the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry? You must be kidding."

Feng Ji heard this and shook his head helplessly.

This Yuan Benchu, why does he get so nervous every time the Guanjun Hou is mentioned?
However, as a counselor, it is his duty to advise his lord:

"Since Benchu ​​said so, does he want to support Dong Zhuo?"

Yuan Shao was silent for a moment.

Support Dong Zhuo? How is that possible?
He ran away because of a fierce conflict with Dong Zhuo.

"I can never coexist with that thief Dong!"

After saying this, Yuan Shao felt extremely embarrassed.

Dong Zhuo was his mortal enemy and their conflict was irreconcilable.

But Su Yao.
He is a man of three generations of high officials. How could he be inferior to him?

This was not what Yuan Shao was thinking about when he fled from the capital.

The person who raised his arm and called for action should be me, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu!
How did it become you, the champion Hou Suyao?
That’s right, Yuan Shao saw it at a glance.

Although the leader of the alliance listed in the manifesto was Lu Zhi and the initiator was Su Yao, Lu Zhi currently held neither an official position nor military power, so the real person in charge of the alliance to fight Dong was undoubtedly Marquis Guanjun.

"Yuan Tu, there's no outsider here, so stop watching the show and tell us what we should do now."

Seeing that Yuan Shao finally listened to him, Feng Ji straightened his expression and asked:

"How we act should first be based on our purpose."

"I would like to ask Benchu, what do you want?!"

Yuan Shao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said hurriedly:
"What I want is the righteousness of the world. Dong Zhuo arbitrarily deposed and enthroned officials, persecuted officials, and brought chaos to the world. I should punish Dong and punish the thief, support the world, and revive the prestige of the Han Dynasty."

"In this case, we should respond to the call of Marquis Guanjun and Lord Lu and fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo together."

Feng Ji chuckled and said:
"Dong Zhuo's monopoly of power has caused public outrage throughout the country. As loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty, we should step forward, put aside past grudges, and take it as our responsibility to clear the emperor's entourage."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao fell silent immediately.

Feng Ji took a look and laughed inwardly, knowing full well that:

"However, if you care about the world, the situation will be different."

"What's the difference?" Yuan Shao asked anxiously.

"If a general has ambitions for the whole country, he must not rely on others for support, and he cannot accomplish anything without controlling a state or a piece of land."

"Now that Director Su is fighting, Gongzheng should take advantage of the situation to start a rebellion!"

Hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao stamped his feet and said:

"That's exactly what I meant."

"But the Champion Marquis took the lead and published this bullshit manifesto first. It's really embarrassing."

"You worry too much, sir."

Feng Ji explained:
"Who said there can only be one leader to fight against Dong?"

"Dong Zhuo is a very dangerous person. Countless people have fled from the capital." "If Su Yao and Lu Zhi can issue this proclamation, can't you, my Lord?"

"This"

Yuan Shao was no fool. He understood immediately:
"Are you asking me to send one too, to win his support?"

"Yes."

Feng Ji smiled and said:

"Your Excellency is a family of three dukes for four generations, and most of the princes and governors of prefectures and counties are former students and officials of the Yuan family."

"As long as you raise your own banner and form our own alliance here, and have people intercept his letters, he will only be able to influence a few people."

Yuan Shao was immediately excited when he heard this.

But he immediately realized another problem:
"How should I deal with myself in organizing the alliance?"

"The Marquis of Guanjun promoted Minister Lu to a higher position and even made himself a General of Chariots and Cavalry."

"I can't use the Bohai governorship given by Dong Zhuo to start a rebellion, right?"

Feng Ji laughed again after hearing this:
"Why are you so rigid now, sir?"

"If he, the Marquis of Guanjun, can forge an imperial edict, why can't we?"

"There are so many officials from the capital in Hanoi now. Just find someone and ask him to forge a letter from the Three Officials to give you a title of importance."

Feng Ji pondered for a moment and continued:
"Isn't Guanjun Hou the General of Chariots and Cavalry? Then you can take the General of Cavalry."

"Now that the Han Dynasty is declining, everyone knows it."

"Dong Zhuo is just the one who went the furthest."

"Everyone just needs a reason to start a rebellion. As long as it saves face, no one will delve into it."

When Yuan Shao heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he nodded, obviously agreeing with Feng Ji's proposal. He even immediately thought of his younger brother Cao Cao.

"Okay, let's follow Yuantu's plan!"

Yuan Shao made the decision and then asked:

"So when should we start the war, and where should we base it?"

Feng Ji smiled slightly, already having made up his mind:

"Mingsir, Henei is a place that must be fought for by military strategists. It borders Jizhou to the north and Luoyang to the south. It can be used for attack or defense. The governor Wang Kuang is one of our own. It is indeed a good place to start an uprising."

"We can recruit soldiers here, prepare for war, and when the time is right, we will march south and attack the capital!"

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this. He stood up, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, listen to my order and start preparing food and weapons and recruiting soldiers immediately. I want to build an army that can compete with Dong Zhuo in the shortest possible time!"

All the generals took orders and left. The scholars contacted various parties to organize a meeting to discuss Dong Zhuo, while the military men posted notices and recruited soldiers in various villages.

At the same time, Yuan Shu on the other side was also busy preparing his own uprising plan.

Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were brothers, they had very different personalities. Yuan Shu was ambitious and acted more radically. From the beginning, he did not go to Hanoi to wait and see the situation like Yuan Shao and others did. Instead, he took his men directly back to his hometown in Runan, recruited soldiers in the name of a general, and then moved towards Nanyang.

Nanyang, the number one county in the world, is the best place in his mind to make a fortune.

Moreover, Nanyang is an excellent place to observe the fight between Su Yao and Dong Zhuo.

But the only problem is
"With so few recruits like us now, it's just a pipe dream to take over Nanyang."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

At this time, the chief clerk Yan Xiang said immediately:
"There is only one man in the southern world who holds a strong army, but he is of humble origin and cannot be used."

"Therefore, as long as you are willing to accept him, he will definitely be a help to you!"

"Oh? Who is this person?" Yuan Shu asked hurriedly.

"The Marquis of Wucheng is Sun Wentai."
