Great Han Empire
Chapter 616
Chapter 616 The Heroes of Troubled Times Like the Abyss
In May of the second year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty (AD 191).
=
At the beginning of May, Hongnong County.
Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, and Cai Yong took dozens of their subordinates and crossed the Yellow River under the protection of [-] tiger guards.
The group stopped temporarily at the Hussar General's camp.Li Hong and Zhu Mu told them in detail what happened in Gyeonggi, Jing and Henan prefectures recently.Although Zhang Wen and others had already read Li Hong's memorials when they were in Jinyang, they could not help feeling extremely anxious when they heard Li Hong's narration at this time, and lost their original confidence in the prospect of revitalizing the country.
According to the original strategy of the imperial court, after occupying Luoyang, Jing and Henan prefectures would be threatened by force. If the officials of the two prefectures refused to obey all the orders of the imperial court, that is, refused to pay taxes to the imperial court, they would attack immediately. However, Li Hong was unwilling. At that time, Li Hong wanted to appease the big officials in Jing and Henan, and stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi first, and then go to Jizhou.However, both the imperial court and Li Hong miscalculated the situation. Neither the imperial court nor Li Hong expected that the officials of various prefectures and counties would do many jaw-dropping things during and after the army attacked Luoyang.
Now Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are all opposed to Li Hong's army entering Luoyang, and Li Hong dare not enter Beijing easily without the promise of Yuan Shu and Kong Ni. After all, the court needs taxes and the army needs food and salaries. The refugees in Gyeonggi need relief, and the autumn seeds in the two counties of Gyeonggi also need their great assistance.If the two sides are in a stalemate, it will be difficult for the eldest princess and the court to get the support of states and counties from all over the country, which will not do any good for the revitalization of the great cause.
Since the Northern Xinjiang Army could not enter Luoyang, the imperial court was not only faced with the question of whether the established strategy could be implemented, but whether the imperial court could move to Luoyang.Because if the eldest princess and the imperial court lack the support of the powerful army of northern Xinjiang, Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county officials will change or completely change the revitalization strategy set by the imperial court after taking power after taking power. This is something that a group of veterans absolutely do not want to see.
But this is not the biggest problem encountered by the court and Li Hong.The biggest problem before them is the war in Jingzhou and Henan and the internal strife in Jizhou.The war in Jingzhou and Henan completely defeated the previous plans of the imperial court and Li Hong.
Now it is impossible to appease the officials of the two prefectures and counties. Several forces have already fought, and they will not pay attention to the court's intimidation, let alone pay taxes to the court.If troops are sent to fight according to the original strategy of the imperial court, the situation in the two states will deteriorate further, and in the end, he will definitely fall into a quagmire from which he cannot extricate himself.Under the current complicated situation, no matter what method is used, it is impossible to quell the war between the two states in the short term, let alone raise food and grass.
The internal strife between Han Fu and Yuan Shao in Jizhou seemed fierce, but the court and Li Hong never expected that Han Fu would ask Taifu Liu Yu for help, and Taifu Liu Yu agreed without hesitation. They completely ignored the ongoing The Luoyang war also ignored the imperial court and Li Hong, and he did whatever he wanted, and the direct consequence was that the northern Xinjiang army lost both the support of Jizhou's food and wages and the excuse to seize Jizhou.
The most serious problem facing the court and Li Hong now is the serious shortage of money and food.Secondly, what method can be used to not only solve the money and food crisis in northern Xinjiang this year, but also solve the money and food crisis in northern Xinjiang once and for all?
=====
Li Hong told several ministers about his vision.
Give up the fantasy of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, whether it is conquering by force or appeasing with kind words, give up.
Yan Liang's army is still stationed in Luoyang for the time being, which is a guarantee for the smooth relocation of the eldest princess and the court to Luoyang.
The main force of the northern Xinjiang army gave up stationing in Luoyang and split into two.One, led by Xu Rong and Yushi, continued to deter Guanzhong to ensure the safety of Luoyang.The first, led by Qu Yi, Zhang Yan, and Yang Feng, immediately went north.Qu Yi and Zhang Yan led their troops into Jizhou and took back the four tuntian counties of Changshan, Zhongshan, Julu and Zhao, so as to ensure this year's autumn harvest and autumn planting and alleviate the food crisis in northern Xinjiang.Yang Feng led the army to block all the passes from Jizhou to northern Xinjiang, and strictly prohibited refugees from entering northern Xinjiang.
Li Hong said very sadly: "It's not that I don't want to save them, but that I really don't have the ability to save them. Today I saved them, but tomorrow millions of people in northern Xinjiang will become refugees. To balance the two, I just want to save them." I can save one. The officials in northern Xinjiang and I have struggled for more than a year to survive, but the result is still the same. I still want to keep tens of thousands of refugees out of the gate of northern Xinjiang. In the past, if I could If you decide to reject the refugees, you will be in danger today."
"I have already mentioned these methods to the princess and the court." Li Hong said helplessly, "In order to ensure that Northern Xinjiang can survive this year, I plan to use the princess and the court again, and reduce the army immediately."
Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, Cai Yong and others looked at Li Hong in shock, unbelievable.
"General, do you want to reduce the army?" Zhang Wen pointed to the surroundings and said excitedly, "Nowadays, the society is in turmoil, wars are raging everywhere, and everyone is recruiting soldiers, but you want to reduce the army. Are you crazy? If this continues, the society will When will I be saved?"
"You know the status quo in northern Xinjiang. This year, the military funds of the frontier army were used to solve the problem of embezzlement, so what about next year?" Li Hong said, "You have also seen the status quo in Jizhou. It is impossible to take Jizhou easily, and there will be fierce battles in Jizhou in the future. Where will the money and food for the tens of thousands of troops come from?"
"The princess and the imperial court must agree to this matter." Li Hong said without doubt, "Assemble the [-] infantry outside the Great Wall to the Tuntian District of Pingcheng in Yanmen County immediately for military settlement."
=====
Li Hong, Zhu Mu, Zheng Yan and others took the trouble to calculate the accounts repeatedly for several ministers. After calculation, the [-] troops must be reduced.
Zhang Wen and others finally persuaded them, and wrote to the eldest princess and the court, begging the eldest princess to agree to Li Hong's performance.After Zhang Wen finished writing the memorial, he was still uneasy, and asked again: "General, are you sure that the current [-] troops can defend Luoyang and pacify Jizhou?"
Li Hong said with a smile: "I have followed my lord to fight in the western borders, and my lord should believe that I can do it."
Zhang Wen smiled wryly, "Besides trusting you, who else can I trust?"
The next day, Zhang Wen and the other three set off for Luoyang, and before leaving, Gai Xun was also dragged along.Zhang Wen said, Yuan Gu, you are now Doctor Guanglu of the imperial court, and you have just come from Chang'an, representing the emperor and the Chang'an court, you should go to Luoyang with us to help us.Gai Xun agreed without hesitation.
==
In May, Luoyang.
Zhang Wen and his party arrived in Luoyang.Zhu Jun came to meet him with a group of state and county officials.Among them are Zhang Qi, Prime Minister of Jizhou Anping, Wang Gong, Prefect of Dongjun, Yang Yi, Prefect of Hongnong, Zhang Miao, Prefect of Chenliu, Li Li of Biejia from Jizhou Prefecture, Jushou and Geng Bao from Bohai County, and Xuzhou Governor's Mansion. There are more than 30 people including Wang Lang, Liu Yi from Yanzhou Mufu, Yang Hong from Nanyang Taishou's Mansion, etc.
Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, and Cai Yong were very happy and confident when they saw that more than 20 state and county officials came to Luoyang in person, or sent senior officials from the mansion to discuss major issues. It gave them a blow to the head, made them desperate and lost all confidence.
On the first day of the discussion, Zhang Qi, Minister of Anping, Jizhou, and Wang Gong, Governor of Dongjun, raised the issue of imperial reunification.There is one imperial court in Chang'an and one imperial court in Luoyang. In fact, there are two imperial courts. The two imperial courts honor the same emperor. How do they honor it?If a court is divided into two parts, what court is that?Who is willing to worship?Since Lord Taifu Liu Yu is unwilling to inherit the imperial lineage, we will choose a descendant of the royal family from the vassal state as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, Yang Hong and others unanimously opposed it.
Then it comes to the structure of the imperial court.Some ministers insisted on using the "three gongs" system of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, and some insisted on using the "three gongs" system of prime minister, Taiwei, and Yushi doctor.This involved the issue of imperial power and prime minister power, and then Zhang Wen put forward the idea of reforming the system.This immediately aroused strong repercussions from the ministers. There were those who agreed with it and those who opposed it. The debate was very intense.
At this time, Cai Yong proposed the idea of reforming the imperial court, which involved many issues such as official studies and governance strategies, and the scale of the debate immediately increased.
Everyone debated for a day and found nothing. Finally, Zhang Wen said: "Everything can be discussed tomorrow, but there is one thing that must be agreed today, and that is the matter of Beijiang's garrison in Luoyang."
This time the voices of all the ministers were very neat, and none of them agreed.Zhang Miao pointed to Zhang Wen's nose and asked, "Did your lord accept bribes from the Hushi general? You can say that Beijiang is stationed in Luoyang? Are you saving the country or overthrowing it?"
Zhang Wen almost fainted.Cai Yong hurriedly smoothed things over, "This is what the eldest princess meant. The eldest princess said that if the general Hussars and the Northern Frontier Army did not come to Luoyang, she would not come back. The eldest princess was very young, and she was very frightened by such sudden changes. , so she has great trust in the Hussar General and the Northern Frontier Army, this is..."
"Eldest princess is not important." Zhang Qi said, "Emperor is not born of the late emperor, let alone this eldest princess? I have doubts about the identity of the eldest princess."
"To save the country and rebuild the imperial court, the first priority is to rebuild the imperial line." Wang Gong said, "You and the general Hushi have kept an unknown little girl who is dictating us in Jinyang. It is also called revitalizing Sheji? Sheji is a fun thing, you can play it however you want? You go to see Yanzhou counties, go to the banks of the Yellow River, and see how many dead bodies there are? If Sheji is like you Rescue, mess around, it's about to collapse."
"Huangtong, rebuild Huangtong immediately." Geng Bao shouted.
Zhang Wen was so angry that he passed out on the spot.
======
In May, Yangdi, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.
Sun Jian, the general who broke the captives, led his army to Yangdi, and took the emperor's decree to inform all parties that the emperor has appointed me as the governor of Yuzhou. Please lead your troops back.
This decree suppressed the armies of all parties.Zhou Ang and Han Hao immediately led their troops back ten miles and reported to Yuan Shao urgently.Qiao Rui and Gongsun Yue also retreated ten li to report to Yuan Shu.Although Chen Guoxiang Xu Ju refused to recognize the current emperor and the imperial decree, he also retreated ten miles due to the tense situation in Yangdi City.Tian Chou was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he opened the gates of the city and invited Sun Jian into the city to take charge of his affairs.Sun Jian said, if the armies from all walks of life do not retreat, and the siege of Yuzhou is not resolved, I will not enter the city.
In mid-May, Qiao Rui and Gongsun Yue received Yuan Shu's urgent letter and offered to help Sun Jian to kill Zhou Ang and Xu Jun. However, Sun Jian didn't want to go to war.If you really want to fight and defeat Zhou Ang and Xu Yu, you will offend the Yuan Clan and other counties in Yuzhou. In the future, you will occupy at most Yingchuan County, and other counties in Yuzhou will not obey you.
But Yuan Shu is exactly for this purpose.Sun Jian and the parties were dying, and he could easily take Yuzhou by himself.Qiao Rui saw that Sun Jian was unwilling to fight, so he secretly contacted Zhou Ang.
During the chaos in Luoyang, Yuan Kai and Yuan Shaojiao exterminated Xu Xiang's family and severely injured the Xu family. There was blood feud between the two families.Xu Fan wanted revenge.The Yuan Clan also wanted to take this opportunity to kill the Xu Clan, so as not to be harmed by accident in the future.Yuan Shu said to Qiao Rui, if Sun Jian doesn't want to fight, you should first contact Zhou Ang to fight Xu Ju, and solve the threat of the Yuan Clan first.Don't worry, Yuan Shao will definitely agree.
At this time Zhou Ang also received a letter from Yuan Shao.Sure enough, Yuan Shao also had the same meaning.Yuan Shao said, Sun Jian won't intervene if you and Yuan Shu fight the Xu Clan together, because this is the enmity between the clans, but you not only have to fight Xu Ju, but also Yuan Shu.Yuan Shao instructed Zhou Ang to leak the news to Xu Jue before jointly attacking Xu Jue, so that Xu Jue and Yuan Shu can fight first, and then you can benefit from it.
One late night in May, Qiao Rui, Gongsun Yue and Zhou Ang attacked Xu Ju at night.After Xu Jue received Zhou Ang's report, he was already prepared and instead surrounded Qiao Rui and Gongsun Yue.The two sides fought and suffered heavy casualties.Soon, Zhou Ang and Han Hao led their troops to kill, and the three parties fought in a scuffle.
Just when Zhou Ang, Han Hao and others were complacent and thought they could win a big victory, Tian Chou suddenly led the army to kill.The [-] army rushed forward, how could the three exhausted and dying armies be opponents?In a blink of an eye, he was killed like a wolf and fled.However, Tian Chou obviously came with a purpose. His army specifically killed the soldiers of Zhou Ang and Qiao Rui, but Xu Jue fled back to Chen State with his defeated soldiers.
Xie Wu and Xiang Tao sent their troops to the east to pursue and kill them. The northern army was overwhelmed and almost wiped out Zhou Ang's army.Zhou Ang fell off his horse in the chaos and was trampled to death by the defeated army.Xu Yan, who was chasing to the west, didn't pay attention, and led a group of guards to kill Gongsun Yue.Holding Gongsun Yue's head, Tian Chou couldn't laugh or cry, and it was a big disaster.He threw his head on the battlefield and hurried back to the city with his army.
When the red sun was rising, Sun Jian wandered to the battlefield with his army.He had heard movement a long time ago, but he just didn't come out.Sun Jian was very satisfied with the result in front of him. He smiled and said to his subordinates, "Yuzhou is mine now."
However, he immediately received bad news.Qiao Rui dipped his blood in writing a book to Sun Jian, vowing to avenge him.
Sun Jian immediately realized that something was wrong. Tian Chou in the city took advantage of the darkness to attack and beat them severely, but threw the blame on himself.Sun Jian was furious, and immediately sent someone to tell Tian Chou that he was going into the city to take over Yuzhou.This time Tian Chou didn't give him a good face, Tian Chou wrote back, whether the imperial decree in the hands of the adults is true or not, who doesn't know in the world?I advise my lord to plead guilty to the imperial court as soon as possible, so as not to ruin the reputation of the whole life and tarnish the reputation of Lord Zhu Jun.
Sun Jian was furious and immediately ordered to attack the city.
Sun Jian urgently wrote to Yuan Shu that it was Tian Chou and the northern border army who were fishing in troubled waters.Our friends for many years, don't you still trust me?You give me food and grass, and when I conquer Yuzhou, I will help you defeat Liu Biao and take back Jingzhou.
Yuan Shu agreed, he believed that Sun Jian would not do such a thing.Now he would rather Sun Jian be the governor of Yuzhou than the northern army to occupy Yuzhou.
The two joined forces to attack Yangdi City.
=====
The news was sent to Luoyang, and the state and county officials unanimously accused the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Zhu Jun urgently wrote to General Hushi, we are working hard to seek common ground while reserving differences, so as to agree on a strategy acceptable to all parties to revitalize the country, and bring the eldest princess and the court to Luoyang as soon as possible, but what did the general's subordinates do?How to save the country in this way?Since you are loyal to the great man and have the heart to challenge King Dong Qin, why haven't you learned Dong Zhuo's lesson so far?Are there still few lessons learned?Why didn't you take the army out of Beijing for so long?
Li Hong and Tian Chou had lost contact, and they were in a state of disquiet.He immediately wrote back to Zhu Jun, what trust do you have in accusing the Northern Frontier Army?Could it be based on Sun Jian's imperial decree?Since Sun Jian had an imperial decree to be the governor of Yuzhou, why didn't he show it?Does your lord know whether this decree is true or not?Master Kong Ni died of illness not long ago, and we did not report to the emperor urgently, how could the emperor make an order?Your Excellency ignores the traitors who are disastrous to the country and the people, but blindly blames our northern border army. What is your intention?
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Zhu Mu asked to go to the capital to explain to his father in person.Li Hong said, don't go, if you go, you won't be able to come back.You go back to Jinyang immediately, so as not to make it difficult for me to be a human being.Zhu Mu is in a dilemma.Li Hong comforted him and said, don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I will tie Master Zhu back to Beijiang.Although he is respected now, he has no official position. I can take him back.After you return to Jinyang, immediately start planning and preparing to attack Jizhou.Regardless of whether Zhou Ang and Gongsun Yue were killed by us or not, we will turn against Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan unless they give me Jizhou.
"The relationship between Gongsun Zan and your lord has always been good." Zhu Mu said, "The situation in Jizhou may not be as severe as your lord imagined."
Li Hong looked at Zhu Mu, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Gongding, look at Sun Jian, then Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and then Yuzhou and Jingzhou. At this time, do you still have any illusions about the court?"
Zhu Mu bowed his head and remained silent.
"Minister Sun Jian and Yuan Shao even punished each other. We can explain that they are eager to challenge King Dong Qin, but what is Liu Biao's occupation of Jingzhou? How can we explain it? What is Sun Jian's occupation of Yuzhou? How can we explain it? Look at the world today , How many people still respect the emperor? How many people still respect the court?"
Li Hong was furious, and waved his hands and roared: "Everyone should be killed. Master Lu Zhi is right, everyone should be killed. What is the big deal for the eldest princess and the court to move back to Luoyang? Such a trivial matter has been dragged on for a month, so why rule the country? What kind of system should be changed? Could it be that Luoyang was brought down by them? It’s been a year and a half, it’s been a year and a half, we’ve worked hard, and we’ve done what we should. , we will go to the Taihang Mountains like the Yellow Turban Army.”
Zhu Mu was heartbroken and shook his head again and again.For more than a year, Beijiang has thought of countless ways to save this crumbling community, but there are no one who comes to help, but a sea of people who come to push.Father is too stubborn.Veteran ministers like Zhang Wen, Cai Yong, and Lu Zhi have seen through this world, why is father still obsessed with it?
"If we want to attack Jizhou, we have to wait until after the autumn harvest in October anyway." Zhu Mu shook his teeth and made up his mind, "Otherwise we don't have enough food and grass to support the army for a long time. Especially when the iron cavalry goes south, the food and grass are even more scarce. "
"Okay, November." Li Hong said, "In November, we will fight Jizhou. You return to Jinyang immediately, and Mr. Xianyufu and Li Wei are fully responsible for this matter."
"The matter of disarmament..."
"Disarm immediately, don't hesitate." Li Hong said, "The 5 people are in Pingcheng, which is very close to Feihu Fortress and Juzhu Fortress. If you can take the opportunity to mobilize the army, why not do it?"
"What about the matter in Yuzhou?" Zhu Mu asked again.
"Order Duan Xuan and Zhang Zhen to garrison Hangu Pass with [-] tigers. Order Yan Liang to take [-] black leopards from Jifeng to rush to Zhiyuan Pass to meet Xiang Cheng immediately, and then transfer Wu Xiong who is stationed at Hulao Pass Come here and ask Yan Liang to assemble an army of [-] to attack Sun Jian and Yuan Shu." Li Hong said, "Yuzhou must be controlled by us for the time being to ensure the safety of Luoyang."
======
In June of the second year of Chuping (191) of the Han Dynasty.
=
In June, Luoyang.
General Anbei, who had already returned to Jinyang, was less than Li Hong, the assistant secretary.Jizhou Mu Hanfu wrote urgently to the imperial court continuously, saying that the situation in Jizhou was critical, and that he had limited money and food. Considering that Luoyang had already been conquered, and the four months' food and salaries allocated to the Northern Army had been paid in full, he would no longer pay the Northern Army. Food is provided.Xian Yufu suggested to Li Hong that he immediately withdraw his troops from the Hongnong camp and stop attacking Tongguan.
At this time, General Longxiang Xu Rong came to write urgently again, and the number of refugees in Sanfu suddenly increased, and the banks of the Yellow River were overcrowded, crying loudly.He begged Li Hong to release the boat immediately and take the refugees to Hedong.
Xu Rong said in his letter that in April, after Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he executed a group of officials who participated in the rebellion. Among the common people, those whose sons and daughters are not filial to their parents, those whose younger brothers do not respect their elders, those who are not loyal to their superiors, and those who are not honest officials, will be arrested and executed, and their property will be confiscated.As a result, there were many false accusations, and thousands of people died of injustice.The people were terrified, and when they met on the road, they only dared to show each other with their eyes, and dared not even speak.In May, Dong Zhuo began to expand Meiwu, arrested strong men and raised taxes.The people of Sanfu were miserable and fled one after another.
Li Hong flatly refused.He wrote back to Xu Rong, asking Brother Zilie to think about the lives and deaths of more than 200 million people in northern Xinjiang.If they were allowed in, how would Northern Xinjiang bear it?Today, northern Xinjiang is in danger, and we must not let another refugee in.
Li Hong urgently wrote to Yushi not to withdraw his troops for the time being, but to attack Tongguan with catapults every day. No matter what, the pass must be sealed off, and no refugee should be allowed to enter Luoyang.
Yang Hua couldn't bear it, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare.Li Hong shook his head and said: "Ask me, the reason why Beijiang is today is because of the suffering of refugees. I can't be soft-hearted anymore. If I am soft-hearted, Beijiang will completely collapse."
"General, they will die."
"In addition to Hedong and Luoyang, refugees can also go south to Wuguan to Jingzhou." Li Hong pointed to the map on the table and said, "They can go to Nanyang, to Nanjun, to Jiangxia, and even go south to Jiangdong. Wealthy, and more peaceful than northern Xinjiang. Refugees may find a way to live in the south, but they are looking for a way to die in northern Xinjiang."
=
The disputes in Luoyang city day after day seemed to never end.The focus of the debate is no longer the imperial rule and reform, but the bloody brutality of the northern border army and the arrogance and domineering of Li Hong, the hussar general.The ministers unanimously demanded that the Northern Xinjiang Army withdraw from Luoyang immediately.Zhang Miao said excitedly: "Now Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Cao Cao and other ministers are fighting fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, but what is the Hussar General doing? He is commanding the Northern Frontier Army to attack Sun Jian and capture Yuzhou. This is the Hussars of our Great Han Kingdom General? Is this the Northern Frontier Army defending the country?"
Zhang Wen and others refused to give an inch, confronted Zhu Jun and Wang Gong and other ministers, and angrily denounced Yuan Shao and Sun Jian for their rebellious actions.
====
In mid-June, Yan Liang led his army to Yangdi and commanded the elite from northern Xinjiang to face Sun Jian.Two months ago, these two armies fought side by side to kill Dong Zhuo, but two months later, they became enemies who fought to the death.
Sun Jian showed no signs of fear, and swung his troops to meet them.The power of the Black Panther Yicong and the ballista caused Sun Jian to lose his troops and defeat his generals.At this time, Tian Chou led his army out of the city and attacked twice, Sun Jian was defeated.Yan Liang and Ji Feng chased them all the way with the Black Panther Yi Cong, and all the Changsha soldiers were killed or injured.Sun Jian escaped in a desperate battle, and when he fled to Luyang, there were only 300 people left.
Yan Liang chased after him for a hundred miles.Zhu Zhi, Sun Ben and other generals and [-] Changsha soldiers became prisoners.Yan Liang didn't kill them, but let Zhu Zhi take the prisoners back to Luyang.
"You tell Sun Jian, I used to fight the enemy side by side with him on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, and I also lived and died with him when he attacked Luoyang the day before yesterday. You can't cherish the feelings." Yan Liang clasped his fists and said, "How offending."
Zhu Zhi roared angrily: "Today's revenge will be rewarded in the future."
Sun Jian and Yuan Shu were defeated out of Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao also lost troops and generals. Should Yuzhou be quiet?No, it's even more messy.After Xu Jue was defeated and returned to the state of Chen, the prefect of Runan County, Xu Jue, saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately sent troops to attack the state of Chen, intending to uproot the Xu clan.Liang Guoxiang Cheng Jing saw that the two friends were fighting, and hurried to persuade the fight.At this time, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Jun, Baoman and others rushed from Yanzhou with an army of 10,000+, and swept across the prefectures and counties along the way.Liang Guoxiang Cheng Jing was taken aback, and hurried back to Liang Guo to lead the resistance, and at the same time sent someone to ask Yuan Shao and Tao Qian for help.
Yuan Shao immediately wrote to Zhouzhou County in the name of inheriting the system, and once again joined forces to fight for Yuzhou.Zhou Gan, governor of Yangzhou, was Zhou Ang's elder brother. When he heard that his younger brother had been killed, he was obliged to take the lead in responding.
Suddenly, the sky over Yuzhou changed color.
=
On Bingxu Day in June (23rd), major earthquakes occurred in Chang'an, Youfufeng, Liangzhou and other places.
Xu Rong urgently wrote to Li Hong again, requesting to release the boat to take the refugees to Hedong.
Li Hong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Heaven wants me to be a big man, but there is nothing I can do. Let go, let the refugees go to the east of the river."

(End of this chapter)
In May of the second year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty (AD 191).
=
At the beginning of May, Hongnong County.
Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, and Cai Yong took dozens of their subordinates and crossed the Yellow River under the protection of [-] tiger guards.
The group stopped temporarily at the Hussar General's camp.Li Hong and Zhu Mu told them in detail what happened in Gyeonggi, Jing and Henan prefectures recently.Although Zhang Wen and others had already read Li Hong's memorials when they were in Jinyang, they could not help feeling extremely anxious when they heard Li Hong's narration at this time, and lost their original confidence in the prospect of revitalizing the country.
According to the original strategy of the imperial court, after occupying Luoyang, Jing and Henan prefectures would be threatened by force. If the officials of the two prefectures refused to obey all the orders of the imperial court, that is, refused to pay taxes to the imperial court, they would attack immediately. However, Li Hong was unwilling. At that time, Li Hong wanted to appease the big officials in Jing and Henan, and stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi first, and then go to Jizhou.However, both the imperial court and Li Hong miscalculated the situation. Neither the imperial court nor Li Hong expected that the officials of various prefectures and counties would do many jaw-dropping things during and after the army attacked Luoyang.
Now Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are all opposed to Li Hong's army entering Luoyang, and Li Hong dare not enter Beijing easily without the promise of Yuan Shu and Kong Ni. After all, the court needs taxes and the army needs food and salaries. The refugees in Gyeonggi need relief, and the autumn seeds in the two counties of Gyeonggi also need their great assistance.If the two sides are in a stalemate, it will be difficult for the eldest princess and the court to get the support of states and counties from all over the country, which will not do any good for the revitalization of the great cause.
Since the Northern Xinjiang Army could not enter Luoyang, the imperial court was not only faced with the question of whether the established strategy could be implemented, but whether the imperial court could move to Luoyang.Because if the eldest princess and the imperial court lack the support of the powerful army of northern Xinjiang, Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county officials will change or completely change the revitalization strategy set by the imperial court after taking power after taking power. This is something that a group of veterans absolutely do not want to see.
But this is not the biggest problem encountered by the court and Li Hong.The biggest problem before them is the war in Jingzhou and Henan and the internal strife in Jizhou.The war in Jingzhou and Henan completely defeated the previous plans of the imperial court and Li Hong.
Now it is impossible to appease the officials of the two prefectures and counties. Several forces have already fought, and they will not pay attention to the court's intimidation, let alone pay taxes to the court.If troops are sent to fight according to the original strategy of the imperial court, the situation in the two states will deteriorate further, and in the end, he will definitely fall into a quagmire from which he cannot extricate himself.Under the current complicated situation, no matter what method is used, it is impossible to quell the war between the two states in the short term, let alone raise food and grass.
The internal strife between Han Fu and Yuan Shao in Jizhou seemed fierce, but the court and Li Hong never expected that Han Fu would ask Taifu Liu Yu for help, and Taifu Liu Yu agreed without hesitation. They completely ignored the ongoing The Luoyang war also ignored the imperial court and Li Hong, and he did whatever he wanted, and the direct consequence was that the northern Xinjiang army lost both the support of Jizhou's food and wages and the excuse to seize Jizhou.
The most serious problem facing the court and Li Hong now is the serious shortage of money and food.Secondly, what method can be used to not only solve the money and food crisis in northern Xinjiang this year, but also solve the money and food crisis in northern Xinjiang once and for all?
=====
Li Hong told several ministers about his vision.
Give up the fantasy of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, whether it is conquering by force or appeasing with kind words, give up.
Yan Liang's army is still stationed in Luoyang for the time being, which is a guarantee for the smooth relocation of the eldest princess and the court to Luoyang.
The main force of the northern Xinjiang army gave up stationing in Luoyang and split into two.One, led by Xu Rong and Yushi, continued to deter Guanzhong to ensure the safety of Luoyang.The first, led by Qu Yi, Zhang Yan, and Yang Feng, immediately went north.Qu Yi and Zhang Yan led their troops into Jizhou and took back the four tuntian counties of Changshan, Zhongshan, Julu and Zhao, so as to ensure this year's autumn harvest and autumn planting and alleviate the food crisis in northern Xinjiang.Yang Feng led the army to block all the passes from Jizhou to northern Xinjiang, and strictly prohibited refugees from entering northern Xinjiang.
Li Hong said very sadly: "It's not that I don't want to save them, but that I really don't have the ability to save them. Today I saved them, but tomorrow millions of people in northern Xinjiang will become refugees. To balance the two, I just want to save them." I can save one. The officials in northern Xinjiang and I have struggled for more than a year to survive, but the result is still the same. I still want to keep tens of thousands of refugees out of the gate of northern Xinjiang. In the past, if I could If you decide to reject the refugees, you will be in danger today."
"I have already mentioned these methods to the princess and the court." Li Hong said helplessly, "In order to ensure that Northern Xinjiang can survive this year, I plan to use the princess and the court again, and reduce the army immediately."
Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, Cai Yong and others looked at Li Hong in shock, unbelievable.
"General, do you want to reduce the army?" Zhang Wen pointed to the surroundings and said excitedly, "Nowadays, the society is in turmoil, wars are raging everywhere, and everyone is recruiting soldiers, but you want to reduce the army. Are you crazy? If this continues, the society will When will I be saved?"
"You know the status quo in northern Xinjiang. This year, the military funds of the frontier army were used to solve the problem of embezzlement, so what about next year?" Li Hong said, "You have also seen the status quo in Jizhou. It is impossible to take Jizhou easily, and there will be fierce battles in Jizhou in the future. Where will the money and food for the tens of thousands of troops come from?"
"The princess and the imperial court must agree to this matter." Li Hong said without doubt, "Assemble the [-] infantry outside the Great Wall to the Tuntian District of Pingcheng in Yanmen County immediately for military settlement."
=====
Li Hong, Zhu Mu, Zheng Yan and others took the trouble to calculate the accounts repeatedly for several ministers. After calculation, the [-] troops must be reduced.
Zhang Wen and others finally persuaded them, and wrote to the eldest princess and the court, begging the eldest princess to agree to Li Hong's performance.After Zhang Wen finished writing the memorial, he was still uneasy, and asked again: "General, are you sure that the current [-] troops can defend Luoyang and pacify Jizhou?"
Li Hong said with a smile: "I have followed my lord to fight in the western borders, and my lord should believe that I can do it."
Zhang Wen smiled wryly, "Besides trusting you, who else can I trust?"
The next day, Zhang Wen and the other three set off for Luoyang, and before leaving, Gai Xun was also dragged along.Zhang Wen said, Yuan Gu, you are now Doctor Guanglu of the imperial court, and you have just come from Chang'an, representing the emperor and the Chang'an court, you should go to Luoyang with us to help us.Gai Xun agreed without hesitation.
==
In May, Luoyang.
Zhang Wen and his party arrived in Luoyang.Zhu Jun came to meet him with a group of state and county officials.Among them are Zhang Qi, Prime Minister of Jizhou Anping, Wang Gong, Prefect of Dongjun, Yang Yi, Prefect of Hongnong, Zhang Miao, Prefect of Chenliu, Li Li of Biejia from Jizhou Prefecture, Jushou and Geng Bao from Bohai County, and Xuzhou Governor's Mansion. There are more than 30 people including Wang Lang, Liu Yi from Yanzhou Mufu, Yang Hong from Nanyang Taishou's Mansion, etc.
Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, and Cai Yong were very happy and confident when they saw that more than 20 state and county officials came to Luoyang in person, or sent senior officials from the mansion to discuss major issues. It gave them a blow to the head, made them desperate and lost all confidence.
On the first day of the discussion, Zhang Qi, Minister of Anping, Jizhou, and Wang Gong, Governor of Dongjun, raised the issue of imperial reunification.There is one imperial court in Chang'an and one imperial court in Luoyang. In fact, there are two imperial courts. The two imperial courts honor the same emperor. How do they honor it?If a court is divided into two parts, what court is that?Who is willing to worship?Since Lord Taifu Liu Yu is unwilling to inherit the imperial lineage, we will choose a descendant of the royal family from the vassal state as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, Yang Hong and others unanimously opposed it.
Then it comes to the structure of the imperial court.Some ministers insisted on using the "three gongs" system of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, and some insisted on using the "three gongs" system of prime minister, Taiwei, and Yushi doctor.This involved the issue of imperial power and prime minister power, and then Zhang Wen put forward the idea of reforming the system.This immediately aroused strong repercussions from the ministers. There were those who agreed with it and those who opposed it. The debate was very intense.
At this time, Cai Yong proposed the idea of reforming the imperial court, which involved many issues such as official studies and governance strategies, and the scale of the debate immediately increased.
Everyone debated for a day and found nothing. Finally, Zhang Wen said: "Everything can be discussed tomorrow, but there is one thing that must be agreed today, and that is the matter of Beijiang's garrison in Luoyang."
This time the voices of all the ministers were very neat, and none of them agreed.Zhang Miao pointed to Zhang Wen's nose and asked, "Did your lord accept bribes from the Hushi general? You can say that Beijiang is stationed in Luoyang? Are you saving the country or overthrowing it?"
Zhang Wen almost fainted.Cai Yong hurriedly smoothed things over, "This is what the eldest princess meant. The eldest princess said that if the general Hussars and the Northern Frontier Army did not come to Luoyang, she would not come back. The eldest princess was very young, and she was very frightened by such sudden changes. , so she has great trust in the Hussar General and the Northern Frontier Army, this is..."
"Eldest princess is not important." Zhang Qi said, "Emperor is not born of the late emperor, let alone this eldest princess? I have doubts about the identity of the eldest princess."
"To save the country and rebuild the imperial court, the first priority is to rebuild the imperial line." Wang Gong said, "You and the general Hushi have kept an unknown little girl who is dictating us in Jinyang. It is also called revitalizing Sheji? Sheji is a fun thing, you can play it however you want? You go to see Yanzhou counties, go to the banks of the Yellow River, and see how many dead bodies there are? If Sheji is like you Rescue, mess around, it's about to collapse."
"Huangtong, rebuild Huangtong immediately." Geng Bao shouted.
Zhang Wen was so angry that he passed out on the spot.
======
In May, Yangdi, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.
Sun Jian, the general who broke the captives, led his army to Yangdi, and took the emperor's decree to inform all parties that the emperor has appointed me as the governor of Yuzhou. Please lead your troops back.
This decree suppressed the armies of all parties.Zhou Ang and Han Hao immediately led their troops back ten miles and reported to Yuan Shao urgently.Qiao Rui and Gongsun Yue also retreated ten li to report to Yuan Shu.Although Chen Guoxiang Xu Ju refused to recognize the current emperor and the imperial decree, he also retreated ten miles due to the tense situation in Yangdi City.Tian Chou was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he opened the gates of the city and invited Sun Jian into the city to take charge of his affairs.Sun Jian said, if the armies from all walks of life do not retreat, and the siege of Yuzhou is not resolved, I will not enter the city.
In mid-May, Qiao Rui and Gongsun Yue received Yuan Shu's urgent letter and offered to help Sun Jian to kill Zhou Ang and Xu Jun. However, Sun Jian didn't want to go to war.If you really want to fight and defeat Zhou Ang and Xu Yu, you will offend the Yuan Clan and other counties in Yuzhou. In the future, you will occupy at most Yingchuan County, and other counties in Yuzhou will not obey you.
But Yuan Shu is exactly for this purpose.Sun Jian and the parties were dying, and he could easily take Yuzhou by himself.Qiao Rui saw that Sun Jian was unwilling to fight, so he secretly contacted Zhou Ang.
During the chaos in Luoyang, Yuan Kai and Yuan Shaojiao exterminated Xu Xiang's family and severely injured the Xu family. There was blood feud between the two families.Xu Fan wanted revenge.The Yuan Clan also wanted to take this opportunity to kill the Xu Clan, so as not to be harmed by accident in the future.Yuan Shu said to Qiao Rui, if Sun Jian doesn't want to fight, you should first contact Zhou Ang to fight Xu Ju, and solve the threat of the Yuan Clan first.Don't worry, Yuan Shao will definitely agree.
At this time Zhou Ang also received a letter from Yuan Shao.Sure enough, Yuan Shao also had the same meaning.Yuan Shao said, Sun Jian won't intervene if you and Yuan Shu fight the Xu Clan together, because this is the enmity between the clans, but you not only have to fight Xu Ju, but also Yuan Shu.Yuan Shao instructed Zhou Ang to leak the news to Xu Jue before jointly attacking Xu Jue, so that Xu Jue and Yuan Shu can fight first, and then you can benefit from it.
One late night in May, Qiao Rui, Gongsun Yue and Zhou Ang attacked Xu Ju at night.After Xu Jue received Zhou Ang's report, he was already prepared and instead surrounded Qiao Rui and Gongsun Yue.The two sides fought and suffered heavy casualties.Soon, Zhou Ang and Han Hao led their troops to kill, and the three parties fought in a scuffle.
Just when Zhou Ang, Han Hao and others were complacent and thought they could win a big victory, Tian Chou suddenly led the army to kill.The [-] army rushed forward, how could the three exhausted and dying armies be opponents?In a blink of an eye, he was killed like a wolf and fled.However, Tian Chou obviously came with a purpose. His army specifically killed the soldiers of Zhou Ang and Qiao Rui, but Xu Jue fled back to Chen State with his defeated soldiers.
Xie Wu and Xiang Tao sent their troops to the east to pursue and kill them. The northern army was overwhelmed and almost wiped out Zhou Ang's army.Zhou Ang fell off his horse in the chaos and was trampled to death by the defeated army.Xu Yan, who was chasing to the west, didn't pay attention, and led a group of guards to kill Gongsun Yue.Holding Gongsun Yue's head, Tian Chou couldn't laugh or cry, and it was a big disaster.He threw his head on the battlefield and hurried back to the city with his army.
When the red sun was rising, Sun Jian wandered to the battlefield with his army.He had heard movement a long time ago, but he just didn't come out.Sun Jian was very satisfied with the result in front of him. He smiled and said to his subordinates, "Yuzhou is mine now."
However, he immediately received bad news.Qiao Rui dipped his blood in writing a book to Sun Jian, vowing to avenge him.
Sun Jian immediately realized that something was wrong. Tian Chou in the city took advantage of the darkness to attack and beat them severely, but threw the blame on himself.Sun Jian was furious, and immediately sent someone to tell Tian Chou that he was going into the city to take over Yuzhou.This time Tian Chou didn't give him a good face, Tian Chou wrote back, whether the imperial decree in the hands of the adults is true or not, who doesn't know in the world?I advise my lord to plead guilty to the imperial court as soon as possible, so as not to ruin the reputation of the whole life and tarnish the reputation of Lord Zhu Jun.
Sun Jian was furious and immediately ordered to attack the city.
Sun Jian urgently wrote to Yuan Shu that it was Tian Chou and the northern border army who were fishing in troubled waters.Our friends for many years, don't you still trust me?You give me food and grass, and when I conquer Yuzhou, I will help you defeat Liu Biao and take back Jingzhou.
Yuan Shu agreed, he believed that Sun Jian would not do such a thing.Now he would rather Sun Jian be the governor of Yuzhou than the northern army to occupy Yuzhou.
The two joined forces to attack Yangdi City.
=====
The news was sent to Luoyang, and the state and county officials unanimously accused the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Zhu Jun urgently wrote to General Hushi, we are working hard to seek common ground while reserving differences, so as to agree on a strategy acceptable to all parties to revitalize the country, and bring the eldest princess and the court to Luoyang as soon as possible, but what did the general's subordinates do?How to save the country in this way?Since you are loyal to the great man and have the heart to challenge King Dong Qin, why haven't you learned Dong Zhuo's lesson so far?Are there still few lessons learned?Why didn't you take the army out of Beijing for so long?
Li Hong and Tian Chou had lost contact, and they were in a state of disquiet.He immediately wrote back to Zhu Jun, what trust do you have in accusing the Northern Frontier Army?Could it be based on Sun Jian's imperial decree?Since Sun Jian had an imperial decree to be the governor of Yuzhou, why didn't he show it?Does your lord know whether this decree is true or not?Master Kong Ni died of illness not long ago, and we did not report to the emperor urgently, how could the emperor make an order?Your Excellency ignores the traitors who are disastrous to the country and the people, but blindly blames our northern border army. What is your intention?
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Zhu Mu asked to go to the capital to explain to his father in person.Li Hong said, don't go, if you go, you won't be able to come back.You go back to Jinyang immediately, so as not to make it difficult for me to be a human being.Zhu Mu is in a dilemma.Li Hong comforted him and said, don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I will tie Master Zhu back to Beijiang.Although he is respected now, he has no official position. I can take him back.After you return to Jinyang, immediately start planning and preparing to attack Jizhou.Regardless of whether Zhou Ang and Gongsun Yue were killed by us or not, we will turn against Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan unless they give me Jizhou.
"The relationship between Gongsun Zan and your lord has always been good." Zhu Mu said, "The situation in Jizhou may not be as severe as your lord imagined."
Li Hong looked at Zhu Mu, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Gongding, look at Sun Jian, then Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and then Yuzhou and Jingzhou. At this time, do you still have any illusions about the court?"
Zhu Mu bowed his head and remained silent.
"Minister Sun Jian and Yuan Shao even punished each other. We can explain that they are eager to challenge King Dong Qin, but what is Liu Biao's occupation of Jingzhou? How can we explain it? What is Sun Jian's occupation of Yuzhou? How can we explain it? Look at the world today , How many people still respect the emperor? How many people still respect the court?"
Li Hong was furious, and waved his hands and roared: "Everyone should be killed. Master Lu Zhi is right, everyone should be killed. What is the big deal for the eldest princess and the court to move back to Luoyang? Such a trivial matter has been dragged on for a month, so why rule the country? What kind of system should be changed? Could it be that Luoyang was brought down by them? It’s been a year and a half, it’s been a year and a half, we’ve worked hard, and we’ve done what we should. , we will go to the Taihang Mountains like the Yellow Turban Army.”
Zhu Mu was heartbroken and shook his head again and again.For more than a year, Beijiang has thought of countless ways to save this crumbling community, but there are no one who comes to help, but a sea of people who come to push.Father is too stubborn.Veteran ministers like Zhang Wen, Cai Yong, and Lu Zhi have seen through this world, why is father still obsessed with it?
"If we want to attack Jizhou, we have to wait until after the autumn harvest in October anyway." Zhu Mu shook his teeth and made up his mind, "Otherwise we don't have enough food and grass to support the army for a long time. Especially when the iron cavalry goes south, the food and grass are even more scarce. "
"Okay, November." Li Hong said, "In November, we will fight Jizhou. You return to Jinyang immediately, and Mr. Xianyufu and Li Wei are fully responsible for this matter."
"The matter of disarmament..."
"Disarm immediately, don't hesitate." Li Hong said, "The 5 people are in Pingcheng, which is very close to Feihu Fortress and Juzhu Fortress. If you can take the opportunity to mobilize the army, why not do it?"
"What about the matter in Yuzhou?" Zhu Mu asked again.
"Order Duan Xuan and Zhang Zhen to garrison Hangu Pass with [-] tigers. Order Yan Liang to take [-] black leopards from Jifeng to rush to Zhiyuan Pass to meet Xiang Cheng immediately, and then transfer Wu Xiong who is stationed at Hulao Pass Come here and ask Yan Liang to assemble an army of [-] to attack Sun Jian and Yuan Shu." Li Hong said, "Yuzhou must be controlled by us for the time being to ensure the safety of Luoyang."
======
In June of the second year of Chuping (191) of the Han Dynasty.
=
In June, Luoyang.
General Anbei, who had already returned to Jinyang, was less than Li Hong, the assistant secretary.Jizhou Mu Hanfu wrote urgently to the imperial court continuously, saying that the situation in Jizhou was critical, and that he had limited money and food. Considering that Luoyang had already been conquered, and the four months' food and salaries allocated to the Northern Army had been paid in full, he would no longer pay the Northern Army. Food is provided.Xian Yufu suggested to Li Hong that he immediately withdraw his troops from the Hongnong camp and stop attacking Tongguan.
At this time, General Longxiang Xu Rong came to write urgently again, and the number of refugees in Sanfu suddenly increased, and the banks of the Yellow River were overcrowded, crying loudly.He begged Li Hong to release the boat immediately and take the refugees to Hedong.
Xu Rong said in his letter that in April, after Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he executed a group of officials who participated in the rebellion. Among the common people, those whose sons and daughters are not filial to their parents, those whose younger brothers do not respect their elders, those who are not loyal to their superiors, and those who are not honest officials, will be arrested and executed, and their property will be confiscated.As a result, there were many false accusations, and thousands of people died of injustice.The people were terrified, and when they met on the road, they only dared to show each other with their eyes, and dared not even speak.In May, Dong Zhuo began to expand Meiwu, arrested strong men and raised taxes.The people of Sanfu were miserable and fled one after another.
Li Hong flatly refused.He wrote back to Xu Rong, asking Brother Zilie to think about the lives and deaths of more than 200 million people in northern Xinjiang.If they were allowed in, how would Northern Xinjiang bear it?Today, northern Xinjiang is in danger, and we must not let another refugee in.
Li Hong urgently wrote to Yushi not to withdraw his troops for the time being, but to attack Tongguan with catapults every day. No matter what, the pass must be sealed off, and no refugee should be allowed to enter Luoyang.
Yang Hua couldn't bear it, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare.Li Hong shook his head and said: "Ask me, the reason why Beijiang is today is because of the suffering of refugees. I can't be soft-hearted anymore. If I am soft-hearted, Beijiang will completely collapse."
"General, they will die."
"In addition to Hedong and Luoyang, refugees can also go south to Wuguan to Jingzhou." Li Hong pointed to the map on the table and said, "They can go to Nanyang, to Nanjun, to Jiangxia, and even go south to Jiangdong. Wealthy, and more peaceful than northern Xinjiang. Refugees may find a way to live in the south, but they are looking for a way to die in northern Xinjiang."
=
The disputes in Luoyang city day after day seemed to never end.The focus of the debate is no longer the imperial rule and reform, but the bloody brutality of the northern border army and the arrogance and domineering of Li Hong, the hussar general.The ministers unanimously demanded that the Northern Xinjiang Army withdraw from Luoyang immediately.Zhang Miao said excitedly: "Now Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Cao Cao and other ministers are fighting fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, but what is the Hussar General doing? He is commanding the Northern Frontier Army to attack Sun Jian and capture Yuzhou. This is the Hussars of our Great Han Kingdom General? Is this the Northern Frontier Army defending the country?"
Zhang Wen and others refused to give an inch, confronted Zhu Jun and Wang Gong and other ministers, and angrily denounced Yuan Shao and Sun Jian for their rebellious actions.
====
In mid-June, Yan Liang led his army to Yangdi and commanded the elite from northern Xinjiang to face Sun Jian.Two months ago, these two armies fought side by side to kill Dong Zhuo, but two months later, they became enemies who fought to the death.
Sun Jian showed no signs of fear, and swung his troops to meet them.The power of the Black Panther Yicong and the ballista caused Sun Jian to lose his troops and defeat his generals.At this time, Tian Chou led his army out of the city and attacked twice, Sun Jian was defeated.Yan Liang and Ji Feng chased them all the way with the Black Panther Yi Cong, and all the Changsha soldiers were killed or injured.Sun Jian escaped in a desperate battle, and when he fled to Luyang, there were only 300 people left.
Yan Liang chased after him for a hundred miles.Zhu Zhi, Sun Ben and other generals and [-] Changsha soldiers became prisoners.Yan Liang didn't kill them, but let Zhu Zhi take the prisoners back to Luyang.
"You tell Sun Jian, I used to fight the enemy side by side with him on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, and I also lived and died with him when he attacked Luoyang the day before yesterday. You can't cherish the feelings." Yan Liang clasped his fists and said, "How offending."
Zhu Zhi roared angrily: "Today's revenge will be rewarded in the future."
Sun Jian and Yuan Shu were defeated out of Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao also lost troops and generals. Should Yuzhou be quiet?No, it's even more messy.After Xu Jue was defeated and returned to the state of Chen, the prefect of Runan County, Xu Jue, saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately sent troops to attack the state of Chen, intending to uproot the Xu clan.Liang Guoxiang Cheng Jing saw that the two friends were fighting, and hurried to persuade the fight.At this time, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Jun, Baoman and others rushed from Yanzhou with an army of 10,000+, and swept across the prefectures and counties along the way.Liang Guoxiang Cheng Jing was taken aback, and hurried back to Liang Guo to lead the resistance, and at the same time sent someone to ask Yuan Shao and Tao Qian for help.
Yuan Shao immediately wrote to Zhouzhou County in the name of inheriting the system, and once again joined forces to fight for Yuzhou.Zhou Gan, governor of Yangzhou, was Zhou Ang's elder brother. When he heard that his younger brother had been killed, he was obliged to take the lead in responding.
Suddenly, the sky over Yuzhou changed color.
=
On Bingxu Day in June (23rd), major earthquakes occurred in Chang'an, Youfufeng, Liangzhou and other places.
Xu Rong urgently wrote to Li Hong again, requesting to release the boat to take the refugees to Hedong.
Li Hong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Heaven wants me to be a big man, but there is nothing I can do. Let go, let the refugees go to the east of the river."
