Chapter 310 Chaos and chaos ([-])
In the three years of Chuping, the Han Dynasty, which had stabilized, suddenly became extremely chaotic.

The common people didn't even know what happened. Why did the big man's world change in just two or three months after the great victory at the beginning of the year?Who is loyal and who is evil, who is good and who is bad, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, suddenly become blurred.

Dong Zhuo, although he abolished and established, generally speaking, under his governance, Guanzhong became more and more peaceful.

Dong Bi, the general of tigers and wolves, created the greatest victory of the Han Dynasty against foreign nations in the first hundred years since the founding of the Han Dynasty.Of course, Dong Jiazi murdered a bit fiercely, but what does it matter?People who are not of my race must have a different heart, he killed all barbarians!

But these two people became national thieves overnight.

In the bulletin that announced to the world, dozens of crimes of the Dong family father and son were listed in various ways, but no matter how you look at it, they all seem to be imposed crimes.

As soon as Dong Zhuo died, news came that Lu Bu was attacked by Yuan Shao's army in Bingzhou.

In the next fierce battle in Dingxiang City, Lu Bu was flanked by Yuan Shao's army and Xianbei's army, and he withdrew from Bingzhou without a trace.

In early April, the Protectorate of Han'an in Linjing was attacked by Ma Teng.

Fa Yan, the chief conspirator under Dong Bi's command, was killed. The chief general Dian Wei led the remnants of the defeated general to cover the Dong family and coerce the mother and son of Hongnong King Liu Bian to retreat to Shuofang.Xu Huang, the prefect of Shuofang, ordered Pang Yu to defend Dacheng Fortress, repelling the coalition forces of Yang Feng and Ma Teng.

Almost at the same time, Dong Bi set fire to Gucheng, defeated Li Guo's troops, and retreated to Hangu Pass.

It stands to reason that the national thief is dead, so the person who killed the national thief should be the loyal minister of the great man.

But in just a few days, Li Guo suddenly returned to attack Luoyang, broke into Luoyang City from Jinyong Gate, and captured Zheng Tai, who should be a hero.

On the second day after Luoyang City was broken, Zheng Tai was cut in half at Caishikou.

Before he died, Zheng Tai did not curse Li Jue and Guo Si, but instead cursed Cao Cao who had nothing to do with this matter, which is really strange.

Zheng Tai was dumped at Caishikou. Three days later, someone found another corpse next to his corpse.

It was an extremely ugly guy, but it looked like he had been burned.After careful identification, Luoyang people were horrified to find that this ugly man was the rebel, Chong Shao, who was rumored to have been dead for two years.

It's messed up, it's all messed up...

Chong Shao is a traitor, so Zheng Tai, who is a hero, is also a traitor?
What happened next left the people of this big man dumbfounded.Before Zheng Tai died, Cao Cao, who was yelling at him, sent troops to attack Luoyang regardless of previous suspicions.Chenggao's defender Han Meng was killed by Cao Cao's general Tai Shici, and the army rushed forward.

The purpose of sending troops is: Li and Guo are all national thieves, assassinate the grand master Dong Zhuo first, and behead the famous scholar Zheng Tai and the latter.

Who is the national traitor and who is the traitor?
After Li Guo made a brief resistance in Luoyang, he gave up on Luoyang.

Leading the remnants of the defeated generals to Hangu Pass.

When they left Luoyang, the two kidnapped Han Emperor Liu Xie, who was only 12 years old, along with the property of Luoyang Kufu.

Well, at this point, it should be clear at a glance who is treacherous and who is loyal.

As the son of Dong Zhuo, Dong Bi should join forces with Cao Cao to attack Li Jue and Guo Si from Hangu Pass at this time.

But who knows, when Li Jue and Guo Si arrived at Hangu Pass, the pass was empty, only some old and weak soldiers.

After inquiring, I found out that Dong Bi and his family members had already evacuated Hangu Pass and fled towards Hongnong County.

Li Jue and Guo Si held Han Emperor Liu Xie hostage, and after entering Hangu Pass, they immediately prepared troops and horses.

And Cao Cao, who kept saying that he wanted to avenge Dong Zhuo and Zheng Tai, and that Cao Cao, who was on the side of the Qing emperor, suddenly stopped attacking after occupying Luoyang.

Reason: Yang Ding, the defender of Yangzhai, conspired to rebel.

So Cao Cao immediately sent his troops south, captured Yangdi ten days later, beheaded Yang and set him under the city.

******
Located outside Jingzhou City, there is a stream named Tanxi.

Like the jade belt, it surrounds Jingzhou City.There is a manor on the bank of Tanxi River. When the locals mention it, they will call it Shuijing Villa in a very respectful tone.The owner of the villa is named Sima Hui. When mentioning his name, everyone in Jingzhou knows him.That is one of the three emperors of the Han Dynasty, the famous Mr. Shui Jing.

It was June and the weather was very hot.

A group of teenagers are gathering together, discussing topics in an extremely heated atmosphere.

"Pang Tong, don't you admire the tiger and wolf general the most? This time, Dong Xiping retreated without a fight, which made Li and Guo calmly retreat from Hangu Pass into Guanzhong... The teacher said that Dong Xiping's retreat has changed the history of the Han Dynasty since then. There will never be peace. Hehe, from my point of view, Dong Xiping is some kind of tiger and wolf general. He is clearly a traitorous and stupid thief. If the Han Dynasty is defeated because of this, he should be the leader of the evil."

This discourse is obviously a point of view recognized by most people.

But a young man stood up shouting, "Liu Pan, you don't want to spout blood. Dong's elder brother is a first-class hero in the world. At the age of 13, he fought against Wancheng in blood; at the age of 14, he stopped the Qiang Rescue Sui Yongqiu, which one thing is not very gratifying? Don’t talk about the distance, just talk about the near, take back Shuofang, and expand the territory for our Han Dynasty. The most proud thing for a big man is not a hero?"

The boy named Liu Pan snorted, "It's just a butcher's ear."

"Huh, butcher?"

The young man said loudly: "If there are really more butchers like Brother Dong in the world, how dare Xiaoxiao look at my border?"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and then he simply stood on the stone table, "Liu Pan, since the elder brother Dong defeated the princes of the Guandong, the court has been clean and the people have lived in peace. Relief with work has enabled many refugees to live, and Luoyang to farm. , How many people have regained their homes? If you hadn’t waited for these people, our Han army’s dragon flag would definitely be able to fly over the fortress in less than ten years.”

"Hmph, but he's still a coward!"

"Are you timid?"

The young man said angrily: "If it wasn't for those so-called celebrities who arranged a conspiracy to cause An Ding to be attacked and Niu Fu to be assassinated, with Brother Dong's ability, how could he have evacuated Hangu Pass? Hmph, Liu Pan, if you were in Brother Dong's position , I’m afraid he’s already dead.”

A boy of seventeen or eighteen stood out from the crowd, and said in a strange manner: "So, can we only say that Dong Xiping is stupid?"

When Pang Tong saw the young man, he sneered, "Brother Dong is not as quick-witted as Your Excellency. Who can compare with Lu Lang?"

The boy's name was Lu Ji, and he was from the Lu clan of Lujiang.

Qin Jie heard that he was an intelligent young man, so he invited him to a banquet.Several tangerines were served at the banquet, Lu Ji loved their delicacy, and secretly put them in his bosom before leaving, not wanting to drop three at the gate of the mansion.

At that time, Qin Jie asked in surprise, "Why is Lu Lang pregnant with oranges?"

Lu Ji replied, "Citrus is delicious. Although I tasted it, my mother didn't know how delicious it was, so I wanted to take it home."

In fact, everyone knows what's going on.

Qin Jie was also a magnanimous person, he smiled and ordered people to prepare a lot for Lu Ji.

The person Pang Tong admired the most was Dong Pi. When he heard Lu Ji's eccentric remarks, he was furious and immediately fought back.

After a few years, Pang Tong is now 14 years old.

First he studied under his uncle, and at the age of ten he joined Shuijing Villa.

This group of teenagers are all students of Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing.Most of them come from well-known Jingyang families, and they usually like to talk high-spirited together.

Just as Dong Zhuo was killed, a group of teenagers started arguing.

After being from a famous family, there are many things that he has heard and seen in his daily life, so he said it clearly and logically.

The young man who argued with Pang Tong earlier was actually Liu Pan, the son of Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou.In the past, he and Pang Tong did not deal with each other, but now that he heard that Dong Bi had given up guarding Hangu Pass, of course he would not let go of this opportunity to attack Pang Tong.

Almost everyone in Shuijing Villa knew that Pang Tong admired Dong Pi the most.

Lu Ji blushed at what Pang Tong said, and was speechless.

When Pang Tong spoke up, he waved his fist and said loudly: "What is a scholar? A person who can do things for the people of the Li people is a scholar. Although Grand Master Dong came from a low-level background, he did real things for the people. But the so-called scholar So what? You spend all day scheming and scheming, but in the end you are being schemed, so how can Zheng Tai be worthy of being a sergeant?"

"Pang Tong, what you said is wrong. Dong Zhuo is a bastard, what virtue does he have to call him a scholar?"

"Ha, what the teacher said, scholars, it's a matter! Don't you think the teacher is wrong?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent.

Pang Tong became more energetic, "Brother Dong is a man of work, how can he have the energy to plot with Zheng Tai and his ilk all day long? In my opinion, Brother Dong is not a national traitor, but those who have a reputation, such as exile of Zheng Tai, are the ones." Country thief."

"Pang Tong, stop talking!"

Standing up in the crowd was an honest-looking young man who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

As soon as the young man stood up, Pang Tong immediately shut his mouth.But those eyes were still staring at everyone present, to see who would dare to say that Dong's elder brother was right?
"Now that Marquis Wu Gong hasn't heard from Hongnong since he left Hongnong, it's really worrying."

Liu Pan frowned, "Brother Ziyu, why are you defending the Dong family like this?"

The young man is Zhuge Jin, who is also 19 years old this year.

Hearing Liu Pan's question, Zhuge Jin just smiled and didn't answer directly.

He pulled Pang Tong aside, and said softly: "Pang Tong, you said you haven't heard from Marquis Wugong for so long, are you really all right?"

Pang Tong's expression darkened at first, but then he smiled.

"There is no one else in the world who can restrain Brother Dong's hands, except Brother Dong himself...By the way, Brother Zhuge, are you going home after listening to the teacher's lecture this time?"

Zhuge Jin shook her head, "The teacher said that everything that can be taught to me has already been taught to me. Some things still need to be figured out by myself. I have made up my mind. After the lecture, sir, I will go home first. Then go out and travel."

"Traveling?" Pang Tong couldn't help showing envy.

The situation of Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong is different.

He was taught by his father Zhuge Gui when he was young, and then taught by Huang Chengyan.A few years ago, he went to school and was under the family of Mr. Pang De.

It can be said that it is the leader of Bozhong.

This time I came to Shuijing Villa just to listen to Sima Hui's lecture.

But Pang Tong hadn't left the teacher yet, and Sima Hui couldn't leave for a day without nodding his head, so he was very envious of Zhuge Jin.

traveling?
If possible, I would also like to travel, but Dong's elder brother has a good time to travel.

As everyone knows, Zhuge Jin had the same thought as him at this time: If I defect to Wu Gonghou at this time, it is a good opportunity.It's a pity that Wu Gonghou has no news now, and he doesn't know what's going on. It's really worrying!

The two were thinking about each other and remained silent.

At this moment, a young man ran in from the door, shouting loudly while running: "New news, new news!"

Liu Pan grabbed the young man, "Chengming, what news?"

This young man is called Pan Jun, whose surname is Chengming. He is a native of Hanshou in Wuling.

He smiled and said, "There are three pieces of news!"

"Say it quickly..."

"First, Ma Teng suddenly turned against the two thieves Li and Guo, and sent troops to attack Sanfu."

"Why did Ma Teng fight Li Guo?"

Pan Jun shrugged, "How do I know..."

"What about the second message?"

"The bandits from Zhangye suddenly sent troops and captured Wuwei..."

"what?"

Liu Pan frowned and said, "By the way, what is the origin of the thief in this piece? Why can't we find out any origin?"

Everyone was speechless, and thought: Your father is Jingzhou Mu, and even if we can't find out, how could we know?

"What about the third message?"

"Yangzhou Muqin Jie, died of illness a few days ago... Hehe, it is said that before his death, Master Qin Jie pointed at the north and cursed: Dong Xiping's words are not bad, the thieves in the Kanto are all rats, they only care about their own interests, and they don't care about our great Han society safety."

When Liu Pan and the others heard this, their complexions suddenly darkened.

"Chengming, stop talking nonsense, how do you know what Master Qin said before he died?"

"I didn't make this up. Mr. Kuai Liang sent someone to inform Liu Jingzhou. What I heard outside the hall was said by Mr. Kuai Liang's servants. Liu Jingzhou's face at that time was really ugly... ..."

Pan Jun has already left his teacher and was appointed by Liu Biao to work.

However, he would often go to Shuijing Villa to talk with everyone.

Qin Jie, dead?
Everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

He was a man who was loyal to the Han Dynasty. With him, Yangzhou Road would not pick up lost items, nor would he close his door at night.But his death...

Zhuge Jin said softly: "As soon as Master Qin leaves, this Jiangdong will be in chaos...I'm afraid even Jingzhou will be difficult to live in peace."

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Pan Jun rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"I have another message, do you want to know?"

"Go, go, don't make noise here..."

"It's fine if you don't want to listen, I'll tell you, it's Dong Xiping's news!"

Everyone couldn't help being shocked when they heard that, Pang Tong rushed over in three steps at a time, and grabbed Pan Jun's sleeve.

"Brother Chengming, what news do you have for Brother Dong?"

Pan Jun frowned when he heard Pang Tong address Dong Bi.

He sneered immediately, "Your elder brother of the Dong family has become a bandit now. He attacked Shangluo eleven days ago."

Shang Luo?

Pang Tongtong was startled, and turned to look at Zhuge Jin.

But Zhuge Jin frowned tightly, turned around and left.

Immediately after Zhuge Jin left, the two came to a house.

Pang Tong said, "Brother Ziyu, what did you think of?"

"I was thinking, why didn't the Marquis of Wugong go to Wuwei, but went south to Luo?"

Pang Tong pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said softly, "Brother Ziyu, I have guessed something... If you want to seek refuge, you'd better set off now and go to Zhangye. Maybe when you arrive in Zhangye, Dong My brother should be here too."

"Zhangye? You mean..."

"I remember that in the first year of Zhongping, my uncle once said something to Brother Dong and advised him to plan ahead. Although I didn't know what Brother Dong did later, my uncle suddenly became interested in the Western Regions for a while. If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that Zhangye's thieves are actually members of Brother Dong's family, so you can go and have a try."

After saying this, Pang Tong suddenly sighed softly: "Brother Ziyu has gone, but I don't know when I can go?"
