Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 50 The Beginning of Chaos

After Dong Zhuo forced Liu Xie to allow the five envoys to go to the Kanto, those who cared found that the weather over Chang'an became chaotic and dangerous.

On the surface, Liu Xie, who occasionally attended court meetings a few times, still sat on the dragon chair like a clay puppet, and the entire court was still Dong Zhuo's voice.But everyone in the court can see that Liu Xie's eyes are getting colder and colder, and his words are becoming less and less.On the contrary, Dong Zhuo's voice became louder and louder, domineering and domineering.

What happened next gradually began to become confusing.

Five days after Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Wu Fu, Captain Sili delivered the body of Yilang He Yong.He Yong's body was horribly scarred and bruised, but Liu Xiao did not produce any evidence of He Yong's participation in the assassination, and he knew nothing about the instigators behind the scenes.

This incident caused a great uproar in the court. Taiwei Ma Rixun, Sikong Chunyujia, Taifu Lu Kui, Wei Wei Zhang Wen, Taichang Zhongfu, Guang Luxun Yang Biao and other two officials and four ministers jointly refuted Lang Zhongling Li Rushan Reform the legal system and force good ministers to death.Dong Zhuo knew he was wrong and agreed to bury He Yong generously.However, he refused to release Xun You, the servant of Huangmen, and vowed to track down his accomplices.As a result, Dong Zhuo led his troops to clash with the court at the court meeting that day, and when the court hall was about to draw swords and bows, and everyone asked for a judgment, he only saw that Liu Xie had ignored those soldiers and swords and left the court.All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and the court meeting broke up unhappy.

However, the next day, Sili Captain Liu Xiao died for no reason. According to rumors spread by insiders, Liu Xiao was taken advantage of by a gangster to sneak into the mansion at night and seal his throat with a sword.Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the news, and the iron cavalry went out to hunt down the thieves, but the capital was in turmoil, and the Xiliang iron cavalry once again slaughtered Chang'an, causing panic but nothing.

Before the matter was over, Han Rong brought back sad news to comfort Yinxiu, the envoy holding the festival in Kanto, and himself. , and he was expelled from Nanyang by Liu Xun and his horse.

Han Rong thought about going north to comfort Yuan Shao with another envoy, ordering him to punish Yuan Shu's rebels, but halfway he heard that the other three envoys were beheaded by Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang.Han Ronglian never brought back the bodies of the three of them, but only heard a letter written by Hu Muban to his brother-in-law Wang Kuang before he died.

"Since ancient times, there has never been a feudal lord who came down to the capital to raise his troops to the capital. "Liu Xiangzhuan" said that "throwing rats is forbidden", and the utensils are still taboo. Kuang Zhuo is now in the palace, with the emperor as the screen, and the young master is in the palace. The servants, Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yinxiu, the great craftsman Wu Xiu, and the Yueqi school lieutenant Wang Yu all received orders. Although the Kwandong counties are really jealous of Zhuo Zhuo, they still use their titles to serve the king's orders and dare not insult them. To imprison a servant in prison with one step, and want to provoke and drum, this is the most violent and immoral person. What kind of relationship does a servant have with Dong Zhuo, and righteousness is the same evil? And with one step open the mouth of a tiger and wolf, spit out the poison of long-term, angry Zhuo Venting anger, why is it so cool! Death is a difficult thing for people, but it is a shame to be killed by a mad man. If the dead has a soul, he should sue the emperor with one step. Husbands and marriages have a chance of misfortune and fortune. It is bloody. The two sons of the dead man are the nephew of the king. After the body is dead, be careful not to let the servant's corpse also appear."

After reading Hu Muban's last words in tears, Han Rong was so sad and jolted for days that he passed out in the court hall.This time Liu Xie still didn't say a word, but looked at Dong Zhuo for a long time with weird eyes, and finally went back in silence.Dong Zhuo felt deeply that his wrong moves had become a target of public criticism, and he also didn't want to stay longer in the court.At this time, Meiwu had been built, and Dong Zhuo put gold, silver, pearls, jade, good boys and beautiful women in it, drinking and killing all day long, and there were not many people in the area of ​​Mei County.

In this way, all affairs in the court are handled by Shang Shutai.The turbulent, chaotic and bloody Chuping two years finally ushered in the cold winter.But at the end of this period, the entire Han Dynasty also staged a farce of chaos.

Due to the spread of local wars and the oppression of the separatist forces, the people suffered unspeakably, and then broke out the largest peasant uprising after the Yellow Turbans.

Things like peasant uprisings, when a dynasty is about to perish, are always turbulent, like the endless water of the Yangtze River, and like a snowball, it grows when it sees the wind.After all, the threshold for joining this kind of army is really too low, as long as you can't survive at home, you can join the gang. It's not easy to be an official, what's so hard about being a bandit?Therefore, after the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army revived, all places responded one after another, and the momentum was extremely large.

Qingzhou was the first to make trouble. The governor of Qingzhou, Jiao He, was far worse than his predecessor, Zang Hong.He was sitting in Linzi City, but he had no ability or courage to lead an army to fight. He prayed to the gods to bless him every day, and he was afraid that the Heishan army in Jizhou would take advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River and join the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou. projectiles that melt ice), and finally scattered the centrifugal soldiers and horses of his subordinates.Jiao He finally died of illness in fear, and Qingzhou fell into a situation of leaderless dragons. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans gained momentum because of this, attacked the city to break the local army, and gathered 30 people to cross the Yellow River north, intending to join the Black Mountain army.

Poor Farmer Brothers can be cute at times.Liu Xie really couldn't figure out why the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou crossed the Yellow River to engage in a large-scale cascade. After all, this peasant rebel army is a very loose organization. And exhausted internally.

However, this naive approach really attracted the attention of the Kanto princes.After all, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Black Mountain Army, and Baibo Army each have their own strengths. If the three rebels join together, the entire Yellow River Basin will fall into an irreversible situation.In view of this huge threat from the common people, the separatist regimes in various places had to temporarily compromise and join forces in the battle to suppress the rebels.

Gongsun Zan, the captain of Jianglu Colonel, led 3 elite cavalry to the south, smashed the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou at Dongguang, and then pursued them to the banks of the Yellow River. When the Yellow Turbans were halfway across, they suddenly attacked.In this battle, a total of 7 rebels were killed, [-] were captured, and there were countless vehicles and property.Based on his achievements, the court worshiped Gongsun Zan as General Fenwu and named him Marquis Ji.

After Gongsun Zan dealt with the Yellow Turban Army, he turned his finger on Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shaofeng's Yuzhou Inspector Zhou Ang shot Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Yue to death during the battle with Yuan Shubiao's Yuzhou Inspector Sun Jian.Gongsun Zan was a hot-tempered person, he was eager to speak first, fought for the first place, and divided the spoils of war for the first time. When he heard about his brother's death letter, he immediately sent a report to tell Yuan Shao how hateful he was, and immediately sent troops to attack Jizhou.The two sides thus launched a battle for Jizhou.

At this time, Gongsun Zan broke the Yellow Turban and his reputation was in full swing. After leading the army into Jizhou, counties and counties rebelled against Yuan Shao one after another.Yuan Shao was a scholar, although his reputation was high, he was actually inferior to Gongsun Zan in war.Yuan Shao planned to make peace, so he took the initiative to send an olive branch, and appointed Gongsun Zan's other younger brother, Gongsun Fan, as the prefect of Bohai.Gongsun Fan nodded and took office, and when he got there, he attacked Yuan Shao with soldiers from Bohai County.This time Yuan Shao was even more miserable.

On the Jizhou battlefield, Gongsun Zan completely gained the upper hand.However, Gongsun Zan's bravery is heroic, but he has a bit of an upstart mentality. He couldn't keep dry food in the kennel, so he got a little better, and then he became complacent. He made Yan Gang the governor of Jizhou and Tian Kai the governor of Qingzhou. After being the governor of Jiaozhou, he changed the order of the prefectures and counties in Jizhou, appointed officials and made wishes, as if the sky already belonged to him.

After hearing the news, Liu Xie didn't know whether to cry or laugh.That old guy Wang Yun from Shangshutai had praised Gongsun Zan in the court before, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Zan didn't care about the imperial court's rewards at all, and started playing with regional autonomy on his own.Wang Yun was so angry that he has been holding back in the mansion these days without showing any face. After Liu Xie heard about it, he sent Leng Shouguang to send Wang Yun a lot of gunpowder, so as not to prevent the upright old guy from getting angry and delaying this year Dong Daji's plan for the beginning of spring.

After Qingzhou Yellow Turban failed to cross the north, it turned to the west and invaded Yanzhou.For a while, the counties of Yanzhou became not optimistic again. Chenliu and Dongjun were invaded by [-] people from Huangjin Yudu, Bairao, Suigu and other tribes, directly threatening the rear of Jizhou.As long as the two rebel armies meet, Yuan Shao will never have peace.

At this time, Yuan Shao made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life. He appointed Cao Cao as the prefect of Dongjun, and went to Yanzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising Army...

Cao Cao, the number one hero in the Three Kingdoms, has officially risen.

He is like a mountain, deeply pressing on Liu Xie's heart.

And Liu Xie, compared with him, is strong on the outside but dry in the middle. On the surface, he is the son of ninety-five emperors, but in fact the imperial edict cannot even leave the palace.Such a situation has made Liu Xie one step late in the competition for world hegemony.

Right now, he really needs to do something that should have been done a long time ago.

After all, the era of great turmoil is about to begin.And in this half a year of forbearance, he, and the opportunity, have also begun to mature...
