Chapter 32: The Princes Are Shocked
Since the last time the golden dragon came to the world, every move of the western capital Chang'an has fallen in the eyes of the Han princes. Among the princes, there was also a lot of shock.
Some choose to watch from the wall and watch quietly. There are also people who hope that the two sides will lose both, but they also sincerely hope that the imperial court army will successfully eradicate Dong Zhuo's remnants and return triumphantly.
As the news of the Son of Heaven's personal expedition spread, almost at the same time, the princes who ruled the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty welcomed a messenger of the Son of Heaven and brought a holy decree.
"On the afternoon of the autumn of the first year of the first year, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty said: I have heard of the difference between respect and inferiority, and the monarch and the minister are of the utmost importance. Dong Zhuo, a powerful minister who is close to him, is from the cabinet gate, and he is guilty of deception. I endured it again, but the Dong thief had the idea of rebellion, although he was unwilling in every way, but for the sake of the Han Jiangshan Society, he had to kill him. ”
"However, although the Dong thief is dead, the rebellion in Liangzhou has not been cleared, I have been worried all night, afraid that the world will be in danger, and I specially ordered all the major states and counties to prepare 500,000 stones, grain and grass, and prepare at least 10,000 soldiers and horses. I hope that the heroes of the world will gather together to punish the rebellion, restore the peace of the society, and eliminate the violence before it sprouts, and the ancestors are very fortunate!"
"Panic and break your fingers, write an edict to Fu Qing, and then be cautious, don't let it be negative! ”
When more than ten copies of the same holy decree were presented in front of the eyes of the major states and counties of the Han Dynasty, without exception, they were all amazed.
"What? Murder is still written so high-soundingly, what are you kidding?"
"There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Bingzhou army, and there are at least 70,000 remnants of the Xiliang army, plus the soldiers and horses around Chang'an, this makes it clear that the imperial court is asking us for soldiers, horses, grain and grass!"
"Lord Governor, what should we do?"
"What else can I do? I didn't see what this holy decree says, those who resist the decree and do not respect it, will be punished for the crime of rebellion. I have a few heads that are enough to cut off, and I deceive you on the surface. ”
"Alas, this little emperor is so yin, come to a trick, the eyes of the world are on us, and we can't resist at all!"
"What does the state pastor mean to send grain and horses?"
"Hmph! Naturally, the troops will be sent out, but when will they arrive? Whether the army sent is elite or not, the state pastor can't control it, and the order is to go down, select 10,000 old and weak soldiers in the state and county, and advance slowly. As for food, let's just say that our state is barren, and there is really no surplus food to replenish His Majesty's military needs. ”
......
Almost every state and county that received the decree would have the same conversation, of course, these were those princes who had ill ambitions for the Han Dynasty, in addition, there were a very small number of ministers loyal to the Han family who were very attentive to the decree, and sent almost all the strong troops in their jurisdiction, leaving only a very small number of troops to garrison the city.
For a while, under the call of Liu Xie's touching holy decree, the huge thirteen states of the Han Dynasty fell into the boiling sound of mobilizing soldiers and horses, and in the midst of these countless soldiers and horses, there were famous civil and military generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and they also came to Chang'an with the soldiers and horses coming from all directions.
Bohai County, Taishou Mansion.
"My lord, the Son of Heaven has already set out on an expedition, can our plan be implemented?" said a middle-aged Confucian respectfully.
This person is seven feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, long eyebrows and fine eyes, a straight nose, slightly thin lips, and looks quite elegant, but the corners of his eyes are a little triangular and looks a little insidious.
"If there is a great change today, and the heroes are divided in the embers, the future of the Han is controlled by the ambitions of all forces. The Son of Heaven is young, although he has already shown his extraordinary, but now it is not what it used to be, how can I surrender to a child who has not dried up, hahaha!"
"What about the Son of Heaven, I want to see what this Son of Heaven is capable of, hahaha!" Yuan Shao smiled arrogantly, his eyes full of disdain for the imperial power of the Han Dynasty.
"My lord, now the eyes of the princes are all on the little emperor. We can secretly mobilize people and horses to seize Jizhou, and then we can hijack the Son of Heaven and control the government, and this world is the lord's alone. The middle-aged Confucian said excitedly.
"Hmph! What is the seizure of Jizhou, even if I raise troops, it is because Han Fu plotted to rebel and kill the rebels. What else is there to hijack the Son of Heaven, I am clearly the Son of Heaven who has no way, and I follow the example of Zhou Gong to teach the Son of Heaven. Yuan Shao sneered.
"The lord is wise, it's the minister who has lost his word!" replied respectfully to the middle-aged Confucian student in the house.
"Guo Tu, you go and contact Yuan Shu now. Let his cavalry encircle Jizhou from the south of Hengshui, otherwise it will be difficult for me to accept this piece of fat from Jizhou alone. Yuan Shao smirked.
"Please rest assured that the subordinates will be properly arranged and live up to the expectations of the lord. Guo Tu said respectfully.
And the other side.
Since Dong Zhuo, his generals have gone their own way, turning Liangzhou into a scene of several separations.
Li Dao, Guo Ci, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Zang Ba were five people, with tens of thousands of soldiers in various kinds, and stood on their own.
Li Wei occupied Xianyang, and the other four generals were scattered all over Liangzhou, each in charge of the prefecture and county, and made an oath that they would never fight each other.
This time, Liu Xie's personal expedition, Li Dao, Guo Ci, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Zang Ba had already become frightened birds, and they were at a loss.
In order to protect themselves, the five decided to join forces and discuss countermeasures to deal with the menacing imperial army.
Sili Prefecture Border County, Xianyang City, Hangu Pass, throughout the ages, the first pass in the world!
"Report, General Li is not good, the imperial army is camped ten miles outside the pass, and it may attack at any time!"
