Chapter 518: The Crisis Emerges
Xianbei, according to the different distribution areas, is divided into western Xianbei and eastern Xianbei. Among them, the western Xianbei mainly refers to the Hexi Xianbei and Longxi Xianbei, including the Tuyuhun Division, the Qifu Division, and the Bald Division, while the Eastern Xianbei includes the Yuwen Division, the Duan Division, and the Murong Division. Nowadays, it is the Murong clan that is the master of the Eastern Xianbei, and the power of the Yuwen clan is second only to the Murong clan, and there is a relationship of cooperation and competition between the two, after all, no one wants to be pressed by others and be the master of their own house.
After the two Jin Dynasty, among the sixteen kingdoms, the former Yan, the latter Yan, the Western Yan and the Northern Yan were all created by the descendants of the Murong family, and Murong Fu, who wanted to revive the Yan State in the Northern Song Dynasty, was a descendant of the Murong family, which was also the reason why Murong Fu claimed to be a descendant of the royal family of the Yan State; However, in the end, the Northern Zhou was also destroyed by Yang Jian, and finally cheapened the Yang family.
Here is a digression, the Yang family is also very famous in this era, yes, the Yang family is the Hongnong Yang family. Speaking of the fourth and third princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many people only know the Runan Yuan family. In fact, the Hongnong Yang family, like the Runan Yuan family, is also the fourth and third dukes. Speaking of the Yang family, many people don't know very well, but there is a person under Cao Cao who is extremely famous, that is, from the Hongnong Yang family, this person is naturally a genius who said the sentence "The food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it" Yang Xiu was then killed by Cao Cao. And Yang Jian, who later founded the Sui Dynasty regime, is also a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family. Then it can be found that since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, until Wu Zetian eliminated the power of the family, the power of the imperial court was basically controlled by the family. Throughout these dynasties between the high-ranking officials. They are all from the big families, looking at each dynasty. For example, in the Cui family, in the imperial court, the man is the prime minister or a high-ranking official of the first and second ranks. The woman married the Son of Heaven as a concubine. Therefore, the development of the family is extremely violent, and if there is no constraint, it will inevitably affect the ruling of the royal family.
Then again, among the Xianbei there are the Eastern Xianbei and the Western Xianbei. In addition to these two main Xianbei, there is actually a central Xianbei, also known as Tuoba Xianbei. Obviously, the central Xianbei is dominated by the Tuoba clan. The Tuoba clan also founded the Northern Wei regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and was later usurped by the Yuwen clan. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he also thought about restoring the country. It's just that there were only two women in the Tuoba clan at that time, Tuoba Yue'er and Tuoba Yu'er. Tuoba Yue'er recruited a son-in-law, Zhang Lie, and wanted to revive the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Zhang Lie saw Li Shimin and was shocked by Li Shimin's Wang Baqi, so he withdrew from the hegemony, and since then the Tuoba family has disappeared.
Today, the Tuoba clan has not risen, and is under the suppression of the two forces of the Eastern Xianbei and the Western Xianbei. Tuoba Xianbei could only retreat at the foot of the Great Xing'an Mountains to hunt for a living.
Of course, these three Xianbei have nothing to do with what follows. Mainly in the Great Khing'an Mountains, on top of a mountain peak, between the rarely visited mountains and forests. But in the depths there is a patchwork of houses, which are quite exquisitely built, but they are curious. Who built this dwelling deep in the forest?
Look closer and you'll see the entrance to this house. There are four sturdy men guarding them, watching their stance. It seems that they are not weak existences.
And at this moment, in one of the most luxurious mansions in the center of this residence, there are some people discussing something.
In the hall of the mansion, there was an old man sitting in the center, fifty years old, but there was not a single white hair, and there was a faint light between his eyes, which showed that this old man was not an ordinary old man. On the left and right hands of the old man, there were six middle-aged men aged about forty, each of whom exuded a strong aura, obviously, the thirteen people in this hall were not simple people.
The old man's glittering eyes swept over the twelve people below, looked at one of them and asked, "Deacon Li You, is there anything in the alliance about the change of hands in Youzhou?"
"Elder Qiqi Aixin Jueluo, for the change of ownership in Youzhou, the alliance has already replied!"
The middle-aged man who was stared at by Elder Aixin Jueluo stood up and responded respectfully. The old man in front of him has a higher status than him, and his strength is also extremely strong, Li You does not dare to have the slightest disrespect.
"What do you mean by the alliance?"
Li You saluted respectfully again, and hurriedly replied: "According to the reply letter from the alliance, the alliance had sent someone to replace Lu Bu before. However, somehow, Lu Bu's strength was far beyond the situation reported by the spies, so that the group that replaced Lu Bu was wiped out, which also made Lu Bu vigilant. In addition, judging from the information left by the substitute before his death, it is very likely that this Lu Bu is the one who rebels against the heavens recorded in the alliance. And before Lu Bu left Youzhou, he had a long time of contact with the then Taishou of Bohai County, that is, the current Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang, so according to the analysis of the alliance, this Yuan Chang is very likely to be a subordinate of Lu Bu, the rebel, so that Youzhou can have such a change. When the spies reported, they said that Yuan Chang implemented reforms and changes in Youzhou, and the big families in Youzhou were ready to move, but Yuan Chang was now in Yuyang County. ”
From the conversation between the two, it can be seen that the fake Lu Bu before is the person in the alliance they said they said. Then, the identities of these people are about to come out, and they are the Shuntian League that Yan Zheng said under Sun Ce, who replaced the position of Tai Shici in history!
Shuntian alliance means that everything is done in accordance with the sky. But if there is a crosser, it is what they call the anti-heaven, and it will be eliminated quickly. So, how did this Shuntian Alliance be founded, and why did it eradicate the traversers? What is the reason for all this, I'm afraid no one knows, only by revealing everything about the Shuntian Alliance, maybe we can understand the reason.
"I see, I didn't expect this Lu Bu to be a rebel. Elder Aixin Jueluo stroked his long beard and let out a low groan of surprise. "If Lu Bu is a rebel against the sky, and Yuan Chang is Lu Bu's subordinate, then the matter of Youzhou changing hands will be in the past. Now that Lu Bu has arrived in Yanzhou, he is naturally solved by the elders and deacons of the Yanzhou Branch, and Yuan Chang is under the jurisdiction of our Youzhou Branch, and the top priority is to solve Yuan Chang. Zhao You, I asked you to investigate Yuan Changzai's forces before, how did you investigate?"
Another man stood up. Naturally, it was Zhao You in the mouth of Elder Aixin Jueluo, and I saw him say respectfully like Li You: "Qi Qi Aixin Jueluo Elder Luo." Yuan Chang now has three more powerful characters under Yuan Chang, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Tai Shici, in addition. Yu Ban was also under Yuan Chang's command. Coupled with the addition of Liu He and Gongsun Xu, Yuan Chang's strength is not weak now. As for Yuan Chang's personal strength, according to the spies' report, Yuan Chang has never made a move, and he is obviously just a weak person. In addition to these people, Guo Jia, who is known as a ghost genius with unparalleled resourcefulness, also served under Yuan Chang. ”
"Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Guo Jia and others are now in places where they shouldn't be. Yuan Chang didn't have any strength, with the strength of Zhao Yun and the others, he thought that he was subdued by Lu Bu. In this way, there is no doubt that Lu Bu is a rebel. Elder Aixin Jueluo nodded and said thoughtfully. "I didn't expect that without us noticing, Lu Bu, the anti-heaven being, already had such a strong strength. Sure enough, it is indeed true that the extraordinaryness of the rebels recorded in the classics is indeed correct. However, now Lu Bu is in Yanzhou. It's a good opportunity for us to get rid of his influence in Youzhou. If Lu Bu, a rebel against the sky, is in Youzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to succeed. Therefore, now is a good opportunity for our Youzhou branch alliance to show its strength to the alliance, and Elder Ben hopes that all the deacons can join hands to fight the enemy. Show the style of our Youzhou Alliance. ”
"Everything is under the orders of Elder Aixin Jueluo!"
"Good!"
Elder Aixin Jueluo nodded with satisfaction, and then began to assign tasks: "As long as Yuan Chang is removed, Youzhou will naturally be leaderless. We can cut off Lu Bu's power in Youzhou. So, Elder Ben divides you into two groups. Among them, Xuanyuan You, Ji You, Zi You, Ji You, Ying You, and Liu You are a group of six people. Each led a Class A guard, two Class B guards, and five Class C guards to Yuyang County to kill Yuan Chang and his henchmen; Sima You, Yang You, Li You, Zhao You, Xiao Er, Jin You, and Zhu You were a group of six people, and each of them also led a Class A guard, two Class B guards, and five Class C guards, and went to Zhuo County to kill Yuan Chang's relatives and a group of henchmen. Although the strength of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici and others is extraordinary, with the strength of you and the guards, it is enough to kill them. As long as Lu Bu's power is removed, even if Lu Bu has the ability to defy the sky, he will be powerless. Therefore, you must act in this way to ensure that nothing is foolproof and there is no negligence. As long as this mission is successfully completed, Elder Ben will definitely ask for credit to the alliance on your behalf, and when the time comes, you will be indispensable for the glory and wealth, and the stunning beauties. ”
"Thank you Aixin Jueluo Elder for cultivating!"
The twelve people stood up at the same time and saluted Elder Aixin Jueluo. After that, they each dispersed to select guards and prepare for this operation.
At the same time, in a mountain peak on Taihang Mountain in Yanzhou, in the same rarely inhabited mountain forest, a patchwork of residential buildings was built.
In the hall of the most central mansion, there were also thirteen people gathered together to discuss.
The difference is that the old man who is the main one on Taihang Mountain is not Elder Aixin Jueluo, but Elder Li.
"Elder Qiqi Li, there has been a reply from the alliance, the replacement sent to replace Lu Bu before has been wiped out, and now Lu Bu seems to be a rebel according to the information left by the substitute. A middle-aged man stood up straight and respectfully reported to Elder Li at the top.
"It turns out that this Lu Bu is a rebel, no wonder!" Elder Li said in a deep voice with a gloomy face. "The substitute couldn't eliminate Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu ran to the jurisdiction of our Yanzhou branch alliance to make trouble, what a bunch of rice buckets, and now let us wipe their butts. According to the classics, those who rebel against the heavens are all extraordinary abilities and should not be underestimated. With the strength of our Yanzhou Alliance, I am afraid it will be difficult to eliminate Lu Bu, a rebel. It seems that the only way to ask for help is to ask for help from a few other alliances. Deacon Ziyan, Deacon Yan, the two of you sent people to the Bingzhou Branch League and the Jizhou Branch League to ask for assistance. The appearance of every rebel will cause a wave, and it must not be taken lightly. Therefore, you must ask the elders of the Jizhou League and the Jizhou League to send people to help. Otherwise, once something happens, none of us will be able to eat and walk around. ”
"No!"
The two deacons, Ziyan and Jiyan, responded with a salute to Elder Li and hurried out of the hall.
Although it is said that none of the people present have ever seen the Rebel, the Shuntian Alliance has been established for a long time, and no one knows the specific time. Although the people of the Shuntian Alliance have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, at least more than a hundred years old, they have not experienced the incident of the anti-heaven since they were born, so they can only understand the situation of the anti-heaven from the classics in the alliance. However, one thing is obvious, that is, the records of the rebels in the classics are extremely important, and they dare not have any slackness. Even the Shuntian Alliance, which has been established for so long, is so cautious, and they, the latecomers, naturally dare not have any negligence.
Therefore, after learning that Lu Bu was a rebel, as the head of the Yanzhou Alliance, Elder Li, the first thing he thought of was not to find trouble with Lu Bu, but to find a helper, also because of this reason.
Elder Li frowned and pondered, as if he was thinking about what he was not doing well. There is no way, the records of the anti-heavens in the classics of the alliance are too harsh, and Elder Li does not dare to despise them at all. I'm afraid that I don't have the status to do enough, and I'm not afraid that I'm doing too much. Seeing Elder Li's serious face, the remaining ten deacons didn't even dare to breathe, lest they disturb Elder Li's thoughts.
"No way!"
After a while, Elder Li suddenly raised his head, shouted solemnly, and said again: "Although we have not seen the ability of the Heaven Rebel with our own eyes, according to the records of the classics in the alliance, it must be earth-shattering. If we rely on the strength of our three sub-alliances, the Yanzhou Alliance, the Jizhou Alliance, and the Merge Prefecture Alliance, we may not be able to solve Lu Bu. Therefore, we must ask for more help, Deacon Ji Yan, Deacon Yingyan, Deacon Liu Yan, Deacon Sima Yan, the four of you went to the Qingzhou League, Xuzhou League, Yangzhou League, and Yuzhou League respectively to ask them to send people to help us. There have long been regulations in the alliance, but if they encounter those who go against the sky, all sub-alliances should work together to deal with it, and there must be no disobedience in the slightest. Therefore, you must let the elders of the sub-alliance send elite guards to come, if you let Lu Bu, a rebel against the sky, escape, no one can afford this crime. ”
"No!"
After the four deacons left, Elder Li looked at one of the men and said, "Deacon Yang Yan, the task of investigating Lu Bu's reality is entrusted to you, remember, you must be very cautious and not have the slightest negligence, so as not to startle the snake and let Lu Bu take precautions, then our previous actions will fall short, and you will become a sinner of our Shuntian Alliance!"
"My subordinates understand!"
Yang Yan shouted with a solemn expression, and he also didn't dare to have any contempt for those who rebelled against the sky.
A shocking conspiracy against Yuan Chang and Lu Bu is about to unfold, and now the two of them are still at a loss, how will they respond to such a crisis? )
