Great Han Empire

Chapter 606 The Heroes of Troubled Times Like the Abyss
Under the first month, Hanoi, Huaicheng.

Yuan Shao suddenly heard that Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, Zhang Yang, the infantry captain, and Liu Xun, the captain of Huya, were attacked in Heyang. The [-] army was almost wiped out.

In the alliance against Dong, Yuan Shao is the most powerful. He actually controls about 4 troops, including 4 county soldiers from Bohai, Hejian, and Anping, Wang Kuang's Hanoi soldiers, and Zhang Yang's Northern Army. These 2 people ensured Yuan Shao's position as the leader of the alliance against Dong, but this sudden defeat caused Yuan Shao to lose half of his troops and his strength was greatly reduced.Now Yuan Shao has only [-] troops left, which is almost the same as Han Fu's force, and has lost the ability to completely control Jizhou.

Over the past year, as the struggle against Dong Daye has become difficult and increasingly uncertain, the Yellow Turban Army has become more and more rampant, and the conflict between Yuan Shao and Han Fu has also become more and more serious.In the past, Yuan Shao was stronger than Han Fu, and he had the support of Chengzhi edict and other states and counties. Even though Han Fu was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao and had different opinions on the important strategy of seeking the Dong alliance, he had to listen to Yuan Shao in the end. command, but not now.Now Han Fu is one of the three princes of the Jinyang court, and has a military force comparable to Yuan Shao. Of course, he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Shao's control, get rid of the Dong Dong alliance, and turn to command Yuan Shao and other state and county officials as a senior official.

Things suddenly changed drastically, and this change disrupted Yuan Shao's established strategy. He had to immediately correct and make up for it, so as to ensure his control over Jizhou and other states and counties in the Dongdong alliance.Losing the power of Jizhou and other prefectures and counties, not to mention discussing Dong and revitalizing the country, even survival has become a very urgent issue.

Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Ju Shou, Chen Lin and others sat together, carefully analyzing the current situation and trying to find a solution.

Yuan Shao's strength suddenly dropped drastically, Han Fu was the happiest.With the help of the eldest princess, the prestige of the Jinyang court, and the rich money and food of Jizhou, Han Fu can quickly gain the support of states and counties from all over the country, thereby suppressing and attacking Yuan Shao, completely ending the mission of the Dong League, and pulling all states and counties into the court.

In the imperial court, Yuan Shao was nothing more than a prefect of Bohai County, with a low position and light power, and completely lost the opportunity to control power.Not being able to control power means extermination and death for Yuan Shao and the Yuan Clan.

If the eldest princess succeeds in begging Dong, Han Fu and many state and county officials will become heroes to save the country. The emperor will let them go, but the emperor will not pardon Yuan Shao. The emperor will definitely investigate Yuan Shao's past crimes.Dong Zhuo only killed more than 50 people of Yuan Kai and Yuan Clan. In the future, the emperor will not only kill a few dozen lives of Yuan Clan. Completely erased from the world.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to quickly overthrow Han Fu, obtain the military regime in Jizhou, replace Han Fu's status as a third prince in the court, and then gradually seize state power and completely control the court.Once Yuan Shao completely controlled the imperial court, it would be much easier to solve the matter of the imperial order.For Yuan Shao and the Yuan family, today's world cannot exist no matter what, and the imperial line must be rebuilt. This is a major event related to wealth and life, and to the rise and fall of the family.

=

When Yuan Shao was powerful in the past, he was very troubled by the matter of overthrowing Han Fu. Although Yuan Shao boasted that he was fully sure, he was hesitant to take action because he could not control the consequences of overthrowing Han Fu.There must be sufficient reasons to overthrow Han Fu, otherwise Yuan Shao will bear a bad name, be accused by the Yuan family, and lose the support of all states and counties.Everyone has betrayed their relatives and divorced, so what is the extravagance to talk about revitalizing the country?
Now Yuan Shao is weak and has no advantage over Han Fu.Heyang was defeated, and the matter of attacking Luoyang with Hushi General Li Hong and the latter general Yuan Shu was a waste of time.Lianhe Prefecture embraced Liu Yu as emperor, intentionally created a crisis in the royal line, and threatened the eldest princess and the court. Yuan Shao was the one who charged forward.Just imagine that in such an extremely bad situation, Yuan Shao could not overthrow Han Fu no matter whether he used force or conspiracy.Even if Han Fu is overthrown, Yuan Shao will become the enemy of all enemies, and it will inevitably end in a dismal end amidst scolding and siege.

Yuan Shao, Guo Tu and others discussed for a long time but could not find a solution and were at a loss.At this time Jushou said: "We can't find a way to defeat Han Fu because Han Fu has obvious advantages, but if we turn all Han Fu's advantages into disadvantages, and then turn Han Fu's disadvantages into our advantages, Then Jizhou can be won without any effort."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Jushou accepted Yuan Shao's conquest and rushed to Hanoi after the year.Jushou once served as the governor of Jizhou Prefecture when Yang Qi was the shepherd of Jizhou.He and Yang Qi had major differences in Confucian classics views and governance strategies. The two quarreled many times, and the contradictions were very serious.In a fit of anger, Ju Shou resigned from office and quit.When Han Fu was the shepherd of Jizhou, he also conscripted Jushou, but Han Fu was nepotism, and most of the family members in the mansion were his relatives and friends. The celebrities in Jizhou were severely suppressed and excluded.Without further ado, Ju Shou patted his ass and left.

Ju Shou listed many advantages of Han Fu.There are a group of officials in Jizhou Prefecture and Jizhou counties who are loyal to Han Fu.There are also Han Fu's cronies in the army of Jizhou.The eldest princess and the Jinyang court need money and food from Jizhou. After the imperial crisis, Han Fu will definitely be able to take charge.etc.

Needless to say, Yuan Shao, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping knew what to do.

Yuan Shao immediately sent people to Changshan and Zhongshan to make friends with Tian Wan and Kong Xuan, two prime ministers, with great gifts.He sent people to Youzhou to present a great gift to Gongsun Zan, the rebellious general.At the same time, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, and others urgently wrote letters to the subordinates of the Jizhou government in their personal capacity. The relationship between.

Yuan Shao asked Xun Chen to go to Yecheng with his secret letter, ask the local elites to help, bribe and bribe the officials of Jizhou Prefecture, and ask for a small banquet for three days, and a big banquet for five days, to make the momentum a little bigger, and let Han Fu clean up the situation. Tian was full of doubts and fears, and couldn't even sleep well.

Xun Chen said worriedly: "Will we blatantly threaten Han Fu, will it attract the attention of Northern Xinjiang? After all, the stability of Jizhou is the top priority for the imperial court and Northern Xinjiang."

"For the imperial court and Northern Xinjiang, the top priority is money and food." Yuan Shao said, "As long as I give them money and food, no one will care about Jizhou's affairs."

Yuan Shao asked Chen Lin to enter the Jin Dynasty immediately, and played the eldest princess closely.The state and county jointly signed a letter to support Liu Yu as emperor, which was manipulated by Han Fu behind the scenes, and the ministers and others were humble and powerful, so they dared not refuse.Bohai County is loyal to the emperor and the eldest princess. In order to revitalize the great cause of the country, the officials are willing to pay taxes to the court and obey the orders of the emperor and the eldest princess, even if they die.

Yuan Shao also asked people to forge a memorial to impeach Han Fu jointly by the officials of various states and counties, saying that Han Fu completely ignored the safety of the country in order to seize power, and he was actually a traitor of a big man.The court cannot accept this kind of treacherous coercion, cannot allow him to assume power, and should be punished.The officials of the prefectures and counties unanimously recommended the Hushi General to act as an agent of state affairs and take power.

"Let the general act as an agent of state affairs?" Chen Lin asked in surprise, "Then what will happen in the future? What will you do after you take Jizhou?"

"There is nothing we can do about it." Yuan Shao sighed worriedly, "I don't know when Jizhou will be won, we have to wait for a suitable time. In addition, after the defeat of Heyang, the situation in Gyeonggi has taken a turn for the worse. It is estimated that it will be difficult to win, so it is difficult for us to predict how the situation will develop in the next few months. However, one thing is certain, that is, the Yellow Turban Army will attack Jizhou."

"Our defeat is great news for the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro. After spring, Bai Rao and Yu Du will surely lead their troops southward to fight across the Yellow River, join Sima Ju and Xu He in Qingzhou, and then turn around again Go north to attack Jizhou. Relying on our tens of thousands of people, the Yellow Turban Army cannot be stopped. We need the assistance of Northern Xinjiang. Without the Northern Xinjiang army, Jizhou may become ruins. Therefore, now we must let the general act as the agent of state affairs. Take power."

"For us, this year is a year of life and death. What should be given up must be given up, and what should be taken back must be taken back." Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "In the future, if Northern Xinjiang wants to survive, the general must make concessions. If he If you don’t let me take over the power, I will make the imperial court a complete decoration, let it become a burden to the northern border, and become the blame of the Hussar general for harming the country.”

Under the first month, Jinyang.

Hussar General Li Hong's memorial made the court heave a long sigh of relief, but the eldest princess was very dissatisfied.

She said to Ding Gong and other senior ministers, "I don't know about government affairs, but I know that the emperor is in Chang'an. Ministers such as Han Fu and Yuan Shao openly want to depose the emperor and rebuild the imperial line. Similarly, ignoring the dignity of the emperor and the laws of the Han Dynasty, not only did not kill them, but even asked Han Fu to come to Jinyang to preside over the government. Is he still the great general of our Han Dynasty?His father praised him back then, saying that there is nothing in the world that he dared not do, but what about now?Now he is blind, he wants to be a minister with the traitor, he is not the great general of our great Han country.

Ding Gong and Chen Ji were ashamed and speechless.Lu Zhi persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, the general is also helpless, at this time..."

"Stop talking. Let me ask you, am I the eldest princess?"

Ding Gong and all the officials were puzzled and nodded repeatedly.

"Am I acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven?"

"Yes."

"Then I decree to pardon the Grand Tutor's innocence and continue to govern the affairs of the state." The eldest princess blushed and looked at the ministers angrily, "Say, is it okay?"

All the ministers were taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to pray, "Your Highness, this decree must not be passed."

"I don't count what I say, so why am I still here?" The eldest princess cried angrily, "You are deceiving people too much."

Under the order of Huwei Zhonglang, General Pang De led a team of black panther Yi Cong to Taifu's mansion to escort Taifu Liu Yu to leave Jinyang.

Captain Wei Duan and Ding Yi of the Southern Army stopped Pound.

Wei Duan said in embarrassment: "My lord, please understand the difficulty of us being a subordinate official. Without the order of the princess, how dare we let him go? If Pang Pang takes Mr. Taifu away, we will lose our heads."

Pang De and Wei Duan had known each other in Luoyang in their early years, when Wei Duan led a team of guards to protect Li Hong's safety.Faced with Wei Duan's bitter face, Pang De was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that the Longquan Valley is now equivalent to Luoyang, the Princess's Mansion is equivalent to the Imperial Palace, and the Taifu's Mansion, Hushi General's Mansion, and Jian Yushi's Mansion are equivalent. In the past, the three princes of the imperial court.I can't just wander into this place, if I'm not careful, it's a serious crime to lose my head.It's a trivial matter to lose your own head, and it will also implicate the General Hussar.

Pang De thought for a while, smiled, asked a few words about the recent situation of Tai Fu Liu Yu, and then left with the cavalry.

He went to the Hussar General's Mansion to look for Li Wei.Li Wei is not here, and went to discuss matters in the princess mansion.He went to Jian Yushi's mansion to find Chen Hao.Chen Hao is not there, and has also gone to the Princess's mansion to discuss matters.Pang De walked around Longquan, and finally summoned up his courage to go to the princess mansion and asked to see the princess.

Not long after, a tall young man in his 20s came out in a hurry. He was handsome, personable, and smiling, "Huang Yue, the servant of Huangmen..."

Pound hastily returned the gift.After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Huang Yue said, "The eldest princess and the ministers are discussing matters in the mansion. It may take a long time, so..."

Pound's face showed anxiety.Huang Yue said with a smile: "Pang Da people have something to say, if the matter is very urgent, the lower officials will definitely play for the upper."

Pang De frowned, and said in a low voice: "Master Tai Tu..." He thought about it and thought it was wrong, so he swallowed the words again.

Huang Yue looked around vigilantly, and suddenly smiled: "Since Pang Da is not in a hurry, then come back tomorrow. I will send off Pang Da..."

Pang De was taken aback when he heard the words, understood, and laughed loudly: "Don't dare, dare not. Where is Master Huang from Jizhou?"

Huang Yue stretched out his hand to extend his invitation, and said as he walked, "The next official is from Danyang, Yangzhou..."

===

What the ministers are discussing is the matter of Mr. Taifu.

The state and county officials said in the above table that today's son was not born by the first emperor and must be deposed immediately. We are going to follow the example of Zhou Bo and Guan Ying in dethroning the young master, ushering in the replacement of the king as emperor, and rebuilding the imperial line.Grand Tutor Liu Yu's meritorious deeds are well-known in the world, and he is unparalleled in the world. Looking at the descendants of today's clan, who can match it?
The officials of the prefectures and counties also said that in the past, Emperor Guangwu was the fifth grandson of King Ding, and he ruled Hebei with Da Sima.Today, Liu Yu is a descendant of King Gong, and is also the grandson of the fifth generation. Tai Fu leads Youzhou Shepherd, which is exactly the same as Emperor Guangwu back then. If Liu Yu inherits the Datong, the country will surely be revived again.

The state and county officials also listed many prophecies.Last autumn, there were four stars in the sky at Jiwei, and according to the prophecy, a god-man would appear in Yandi.In Jiyin County, Yanzhou, there was another shaman Zhu Wang who was destined to get the jade seal from heaven, and the text said "Yu is the Son of Heaven".In the early winter of last year, the sky of Dai County was highlighted for two days, and the two suns hung in the east together.

In any case, this table made Liu Yu the real man, and because of this, Liu Yu had to die.

General Hushi said that Liu Yu was innocent, and not only asked the court to pardon him, but also sent him back to Youzhou to continue serving as Shepherd in Youzhou.How is this possible?The eldest princess will not agree, and the ministers will not agree.General Hussars probably forgot an old saying, "A man is not guilty, but a man is guilty."

Liu Yu is the Son of Man, and this rumor will soon spread all over the world.If Liu Yu returns to Youzhou and supports his troops to stand on his own, or if there are rebels who support Liu Yu as emperor, there will be two emperors in this world immediately. The collapse of the country is no longer inevitable.

===

Pang De was stunned, "The eldest princess wants to kill Master Taifu?"

Huang Yue shook his head, "The eldest princess is unwilling. If the eldest princess wanted to kill him, the Grand Tutor would have died long ago. Now that the Hushi General has come forward to protect the Grand Tutor, this matter is a bit troublesome. But if the Grand Tutor is not dead, the world will Uneasy, and more importantly, if Master Tai Tuo is not dead, what is the dignity of today? Where is the dignity of the court? How can the Great Han Society stand up?"

Pang De was terrified, "Master Huang, Master Taifu can't be killed. In the past year, General Hussars has endured it in order to save the country. He has endured it for a long time. If he is angered at this time, the consequences will be disastrous .”

"The imperial court also thought about this issue, so the ministers argued fiercely." Huang Yue smiled wryly, "Master Zhao Qi and Mr. Cai Yong fell out on the spot, Mr. Li Wei stared and said that his voice was hoarse, and you Mr. Chen Hao from Beijiang, who couldn't say anything to Mr. Lu Zhi, was so angry that he raised the case and was about to smash it, but luckily Mr. Zhu Xiaolan stopped him with a finger."

"Stop it with one finger?" Pound exclaimed, "One finger?"

Huang Yue smiled and said: "Yes. Master Zhu stared at him and pointed with a jade hand. Master Chen was so frightened that he took three steps back. He quickly put down the table and kowtowed to the eldest princess to plead guilty. Haha..., you are as beautiful as a fairy in Northern Xinjiang It's really unexpected that the big officials here are so powerful."

Pang De felt bitter in his heart, and forced a smile.

"At present, it seems that it is really not easy for the court to kill Master Taifu, because there are still a bunch of officials in Jizhou and other prefectures and counties. If they are all killed, the court's majesty will be restored, but the harm to the great cause of saving the country is obvious. Now the imperial court wants to maintain the authority of the emperor and the imperial court, but the eldest princess, Lord Zhao Qi, and the general Hussars are unwilling to kill, so the best solution is..." Huang Yue looked at Pang De who was nervous, and said in a low voice ,"suicide."

Pound was horrified.

"Master Tai Tuo is going to commit suicide, can you save him?"

===

At noon, Pound led a group of iron cavalry into the Jinyang Arsenal like a strong wind.

"Open the arsenal, open the arsenal for me..."

Yi Cong soldiers rushed forward, hacked with knives and axes, and opened one warehouse door after another.

When the guards guarding the arsenal saw the murderous Pound and the menacing Black Panther Yi Cong, they hid aside one after another, not daring to step forward to stop them.

Several arsenal officials rushed all the way, and saw from a distance that it was the leader of the Black Panther, Huwei Zhonglang, standing on his horse, and his anger disappeared immediately.

"Master Hussar, to mobilize weapons, you need the military order of the Hussar General. This military order..."

Pound snorted coldly, "Fill me with two hundred carts of ordnance, hurry up."

"My lord, the general's military order..."

Pound reached out and pulled the seal ribbon from his waist and threw it over, "I don't have a military order. Take my seal ribbon and tell the general that I opened the arsenal, I took the ordnance, and I am responsible for the crime alone, which has nothing to do with you. "

===

In the afternoon, Pang De and his personal guards rushed into the Longshan camp like lightning.

"Beat the drum, beat the drum for me..."

The sound of drums shook the sky, and thousands of disabled soldiers who were reading and writing in the camp rushed out of the tents one after another.This is the drumbeat of assembly, the familiar drumbeat that can no longer be familiar.

Pound and his personal guards rode horses and galloped in the camp, "The general has an order to guard Longquan and protect the eldest princess..."

"Anyone who can pick up a weapon will follow me, and follow me to Longquan..."

Laoguai appeared in front of Pound.The Longshan camp and the more than 7000 disabled soldiers in the camp are now under his control.Since some disabled soldiers in the camp will soon go to various places in northern Xinjiang to work as pavilion chiefs, these people cannot go to the battlefield.

"Pang Da, what happened? Where is the general's military order?"

"Someone wants to kill Lord Taifu Liu Yu, and I need an army to surround Longquan." Pang De said, "I don't have a military order, but I am ordered by the general to send Lord Taifu back to Youzhou intact. Can you help?" I?"

When Laoguai heard that someone was going to kill Liu Yu, his eyes immediately widened, "How many people do you want? Where are the weapons?"

===

At dusk, the [-] disabled soldiers from the Longshan Camp, the [-] Black Panther Yicong that Pang De brought to Jinyang, and the [-] army surrounded Longquan completely.

The atmosphere above Longquan was suddenly tense.

Pound led a team of personal guards swaggeringly towards Taifu's residence.

Wei Duan and Ding Yi rushed to meet him, "Pang Dao, what do you mean?"

Pound sneered.

The old crutch standing behind Pound shouted loudly: "Raise the arrow..."

Hundreds of Beijiang soldiers surrounding Taifu's mansion raised their longbows at the same time, ready to go.

"Get out of the way..." Lao Guai raised his knife and shouted, "If you don't get out of the way, you will be shot to death."

Wei Duan raised his hand and waved it helplessly behind him.The terrified Huben guards scattered as if they had been pardoned.

===

Liu Yu was so excited that he couldn't speak a word as he looked at the group of northern Xinjiang soldiers kneeling in the big tent.

Pang De bowed and said: "I am under the order of the General to escort the Tai Tuo back to Youzhou. Please go on the road immediately, the Tai Tuo."

"The old man is the one who treats the sinner. How can I leave without the order of the eldest princess to forgive me?" Liu Yu smiled wryly, "Thank you for your kindness, General. I can't leave Longshan."

Pang De bowed and asked again, "The imperial edict of the eldest princess will arrive soon, please leave Longshan quickly, my lord."

Liu Yu was heartbroken and shook his head again and again, "Forget it, I have no business. Go back and tell the general that I thank him."

Pound's face turned cold, "If Master Taifu dies, all the people in Longquan will be buried with you."

Liu Yu was dumbfounded.

"Now there are [-] troops here, just wait for the Tai Tuo to say something." Pang De asked word by word, "Let's go, or not?"

Liu Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, "My son, you are making my life worse than death."

"Walk."
