Great Han Empire

Chapter 560 Immediately Crossing the Gun
In mid-February, Huaicheng, Hanoi County.

Yuan Shao, Xu You, Han Qiong, Chunyu Qiong and others gathered around the map, arguing fiercely.

Lu Zhi's words made Yuan Shao give up his active attack strategy.Now that the princess has gone north to help Dong Dajun persuade the General Hussars, and Lu Zhi has made it so clear, then this active attack seems meaningless at present. Taking the initiative to attack Luoyang has once again become the focus of debate.

Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Chen Lin and others believed that now that the northern Xinjiang army has moved south one after another, the strength of the two sides has changed a lot. The purpose of attacking Luoyang and coercing the Hussar General with force may not be effective. If the initial battle fails, not only will the A blow to Dong Dajun's morale, and all the advantages that the army currently holds will be lost.In addition, Yuan Shao had already ordered Dong Dajun's ministries not to attack for the time being. If there was a sudden change of plan, the ministries would be at a loss as to what to do, making people feel that the chariot general seemed unable to control the situation, which would also cause panic among the soldiers.

Xu You, Feng Ji, Han Qiong, Chun Yuqiong and others believed that the use of troops on the battlefield should be constantly changing according to the development of the situation, and sudden changes in tactics are normal, so there is no need to worry. The most worrying thing now should be the ant thief in the Qingxu area rebellion.Ant thieves have already begun to attack and plunder counties and counties in Qingzhou. Due to the lack of troops to kill them, it is inevitable that the ant thieves will win every day. This will greatly fuel their arrogance. The scope will become wider and wider. Once the situation gets out of control, the three states of Qing, Yan, and Xu will surely fall into a frenzy of riots.With the flames of war raging in the rear, one can imagine the blow to Dong Dajun, and after Dong Zhuo and Li Hong got the news, whether they stick to Luoyang or take the opportunity to attack, they can be sure of victory.

Yuan Shao looked at the group of subordinates who were blushing from the contention, at a loss what to do.

At this time, good news came from Suanzao Daying on the south bank of the Yellow River more than 100 miles away. Bao Xin, the Minister of Jinbei, had arrived.Bao Xin said that according to the information he received, the ant thief rebellion was mainly concentrated in Jinan, Qi, and Beihai to the east of Mount Tai. There is no sign that the ant thief army will leave Qingzhou immediately and attack westward.However, after Qingzhou was plundered by these ant thieves, things would be very troublesome.

The Yellow Turban Army was very shrewd, and they chose the timing and location of the riot very well.Now they are rioting in Qingzhou, which is very far away from Gyeonggi, and they have not invaded Yanxu two prefectures. Or Qingzhou has been robbed by the ants, and the ants are about to turn around and head west.They will attack Yanzhou and Xuzhou crazily, attacking cities and villages all the way, burning, killing and looting, doing everything.

Time, the most urgent need for Dong Zhuo now is time, Yuan Shao must grab the Hushi General to his side before the ant thief attacks Yanxu and Xuzhou, otherwise, not to mention forcing Dong Zhuo away, even the problem of survival will be difficult ensure.

Yuan Shao weighed carefully for a long time, and finally decided to maintain the original plan, all armies should not attack for the time being, and wait patiently.

Xu You urged eagerly: "My lord, we can only control the situation if we take the initiative to attack. Li Hong is a leopard. He is very hungry. He can drink his own blood and continue. He will not give up easily. The current imperial power is falling apart What is the use of a princess? The edict of the first emperor is nothing more than a piece of yellow silk cloth. If Li Hong was loyal to the man and devoted himself to the country, he would have gone south to join us. My lord, Mr. Lu is old. Like Song, he can no longer adapt to today's big man. If he wants to revitalize the big man in today's situation, there is only one way, and that is to control his own destiny, and don't rely on others."

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Ziyuan, be patient, be patient, we will win."

Yuan Shao took Xu You and Chen Lin out of the city in a hurry, preparing to cross the river to Suanzao Huimeng.

Guo Tu, who was staying in the camp, sent someone on a flying horse to report that someone from the General Hussar's mansion had arrived.Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, and suddenly decided not to go to Suanzao, "Ziyuan, Kong Zhang, you two will go to Suanzao for me to make an alliance with you adults."

Xu You and Chen Lin were stunned. "My lord, if you don't go to Suanzao, who will preside over the meeting?" Chen Lin asked.

"Lord Qiao Maoqiao will preside over the alliance." Yuan Shao said, "There are more than a dozen states and counties participating in the meeting, and only seven gathered in Suanzao. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. This alliance is nothing more than It's just a situation, without any binding force. If anyone wants to withdraw from the Dong Dajun, I can't help it. Can I still drag him and kill him? The most important thing now is not the alliance, but I want to know the hussars General's attitude."

Yuan Shao returned to the city and immediately summoned Zheng Yan.Zheng Yan went to Hanoi immediately after the trial match and Chen Lin. It can be seen that the crisis in northern Xinjiang is already very serious. Under pressure, the General Hussars had to change his mind.

Zheng Yan explained the difficulties in northern Xinjiang, explained the purpose of the Hushi General to send troops south, and finally mentioned the food and victims.From Zheng Yan's words, Yuan Shao heard General Hushi's solution to the current crisis. General Hushi had no intention of helping him or Dong Zhuo. He wanted to maintain a balance of power among the three parties so as to quickly resolve possible war disasters.Maintaining the balance of power among the three parties is in the best interest of the General Hussars. Yuan Shao knows this very well. With time and supplies, northern Xinjiang will gradually get rid of the crisis, the leopards will slowly heal their wounds, and the world will gradually become a Hussars. General's bag.

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "The army from northern Xinjiang marched south to Beijing, which can restrain me and Dong Zhuo. I know the difficulties, and I can understand the difficulties of the Hushi General, but I am only in charge of negotiating Dong Bing's affairs, Jizhou is the master of Jizhou Muhan, so I can't answer you for anything you said."

Zheng Yan said with a smile: "So, the matter of inheriting the edict is really as rumored?"

Yuan Shao's smile froze.

"Since my lord can't assume the authority to handle all the affairs of Dong Dajun, I have no choice but to report to General Hushi, saying that I will go to Yecheng to discuss with Lord Han in detail."

Yuan Shao smiled coldly, and said to Feng Ji who was sitting beside him: "Yuan Tu, you accompany Mr. Zheng to Yecheng."

After Zheng Yan left, Xin Ping immediately said: "As we expected, this leopard will not help us, and his greedy nature is undoubtedly exposed."

Xun Chen was worried, and frowned and said: "My lord, the Hushi general sent people to Hanoi on his own initiative, but we have no sincerity at all. Will this anger the leopard?" He looked at Yuan Shao and continued, "I think we should send people to Hanoi. Zheng Yan stayed in Huaicheng and talked with him slowly. In addition, he also invited the judge and judge of Jizhou Prefecture. It is better for everyone to sit together and talk and laugh than to be cold-hearted and tense. In addition, once there is a For any unexpected incident, we can also quickly send the news through Zheng Yan. The northern Xinjiang army is stationed in Gyeonggi, and the news will be transferred from them to Hedong, and Jinyang will be very fast. In this way, if we want to change our strategy in time, huh Riding a big general can also react immediately in a very short time."

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, "Go and invite Zheng Yan back, and I'll talk to him carefully."

Mid-February, Chenliu County, Yanzhou, Suanzao.

Yuan Shao did not come to the Suanzao meeting, which disappointed Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao and others.At this time, the situation in the rear is tense and people are panicking. What is needed most is the main general to come to boost morale.Although there is a Yellow River between Huaicheng and Suanzao, the Yellow River is frozen, and it is like walking on flat ground. The journey is [-] or [-] miles, and it takes only two or three days to go back and forth.Couldn't Yuan Shao sacrifice such a few days?
Xu You said to Qiao Mao that Master Yuan has repeatedly asked Master Qiao to form an alliance as soon as possible so as to put strong pressure on Dong Zhuo.Qiao Mao sneered and remained silent.He told Zhang Miao privately that the General Hussars had just sent a subordinate to Hanoi, so did Ben Chu meet him in person?I think the negotiation is fake, and it is true that I did not want to be this early bird at first.Once the news of the alliance spreads, the lives of dozens of members of Yuan Kai, Yuan Ji and Yuan Clan may be in danger. He himself does not want to bear the charge, but let me take the blame.Last time, I did the work of spreading the word to the world on behalf of the Yuan Clan. The crimes are all mine. This time he made me the leader again. He wants me to do all the things in the early days. Think I'm an idiot?I don't do it.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, you should be the main ally."

It was not easy for Zhang Miao to refuse in person, so he went back to the camp to discuss with his long history Liu Yi.Liu Yi said that adults can't do this.The matter of asking for directors seems very mysterious now. The ants in Qingzhou are rebelling, and the ants will soon flee to Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Liu Dai, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Zhang Chao and others will withdraw their troops sooner or later.As soon as they left, there were only 2 adults, Qiao Mao, and Cao Cao left here, so why fight?Chenliu is adjacent to Gyeonggi, if Dong Zhuo and Li Hong know that there is chaos behind us, they will definitely take the initiative to attack, and at this time the one who bears the brunt is you, my lord.If my lord is the main alliance, Dong Zhuo will hate you to the bone, and I'm afraid...

Zhang Miao immediately found Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang.Yuan Yi is Yuan Shao's cousin. He used to be a Chang'an Commander. He is considered a very talented person in the Yuan Clan.Zhang Miao said, Boye, you are Benchu's cousin, and your reputation is extremely high, which is beyond my reach.This main alliance is none other than yours.After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Yuan Yi to speak.

Of course Yuan Yi didn't want to do it.If Yuan Kui and others died because of this, not only would he offend Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, but he would also have no face to see his ancestors in the future.After thinking for a while, he went to look for Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai.Liu Dai is from Muping, Donglai. His grandfather Liu Ben is a famous Confucianist, and his uncle Liu Chong is a former Taiwei. The Liu family is the biggest family in Donglai.Yuan Yi and Liu Dai had a good personal relationship, he told Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao and others that they didn't want to be the main alliance, "Gongshan, what do you think about this matter?"

Liu Dai thought for a while and said, neither you nor I can do this.No matter whether it is possible to get Dong to succeed or not, the crime of the Yuan Clan's punishment is related to Huimeng, and it is inevitable that people will be accused in the future.Both of us are respectable people, and we cannot leave this infamy to humiliate our ancestors.I think, if you invite Cao Cao to lead the alliance, he will definitely agree.Cao Cao is a descendant of Cao Teng, a descendant of eunuchs, and in order to stand out in the future, he needs merit.The success of the appeal against Dong, the fact of the main alliance is a merit.Cao Cao is a bohemian man, he likes to do things rashly, and he doesn't care about such small things.

Cao Cao didn't refuse, but he didn't accept it either. He came up with an idea, "Isn't the main alliance just to stand on the altar and recite the covenant, and take the lead in worshiping the heaven and the earth? Do we need to come forward? Just find a subordinate." Yes. My subordinate Ren Jun is good, his voice is very loud, let him read the covenant, and everyone on the altar and below the altar can hear it."

Yuan Yi was overjoyed, bid farewell and left.He didn't know who Ren Jun was, so he didn't like him either.In his heart, even if the person in the main alliance is not a member of one party, he should be a celebrity with status and status.

After discussing with Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao and others, they chose Zang Hong who was the most famous.Zang Hong was a native of Sheyang, Guangling, and was engaged in the work of Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling.His father, Zang Min, served successively as General Hun Zhonglang, Zhongshan, and Taiyuan Prefect.Zang Hong was born in a family of officials and eunuchs. He was very knowledgeable and well-known in Xuzhou.Zang Hong is tall and strong, with a bushy beard and a loud, majestic voice. He looks more like a warrior than a scholar.Zang Hong readily agreed.In order to eradicate the national thieves, of course it is incumbent.

===

On February [-]th, Suanzao will meet.

Standing on the high altar, Zang Hong read the covenant aloud against the bitter cold wind: the Han Dynasty was unlucky, the emperor was out of order, the traitor Dong Zhuo caused endless disasters, Hongnong was poisoned and the people were killed. , The world is overthrown, we want to raise righteous soldiers, go to the country's calamity, the people in the alliance, work together, do our best, smash our bodies, and don't hesitate.With the alliance of Chongqing, he died of an accident and brought disaster to his descendants.The empress and the land, the ancestors and the spirit, all learn from it.

This covenant is written impassionedly, passionately and inspiringly.

This covenant is actually very different from the previous San Gong proclamation. The national crisis here is not Dong Zhuo's dethroning the young emperor, but the poisonous killing of King Hongnong.They were neither willing to honor Xiandi, but also lost the ultimate goal of begging Dong. As a result, the ambitious army of begging Dong became at a loss.What is the purpose of discussing Dong?Is it just to fight against Dong Zhuo's violence with death?What about after killing Dong Zhuo?It's not that no one has thought of establishing a new emperor, but that no one is willing to talk about it, and no one is willing to do it.

Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Wang Kuang, Kong Ni, Li Min and others did not make any declaration of support for the Suanzao League, they neither said they supported nor said they did not support it, as if there was no such thing, they turned a blind eye.

===

On February [-]th, surrounded by Huben, Yulin, and officials, the emperor hurriedly embarked on the road to the west.

On February [-]th, Dong Zhuo ordered to clean up Luoyang City.After receiving the order, Li Jue and Guo Si didn't understand Dong Zhuo's meaning, so they hurriedly sent someone to ask, "My lord, what do you mean by cleaning up? Is it looting or killing and burning?"
