In the sixth year of Zhongping, since July, Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor Liu Bian, and set up Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, and Luoyang has never been peaceful.

That Dong Zhuo was arrogant and lascivious, claiming to be Xiangguo, but he didn't worship when he saw the Son of Heaven, and entered the palace with a sword, which also made the Xiliang army under him also arrogant.

Originally, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army lived in Liangzhou alone, and he was used to being poor, but now he finally arrived in such a prosperous place as Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo supported them, and the crime was even more lawless.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was still loyal to the Han Dynasty, finally decided to do a big thing: for the sake of the country, he wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo!

Wang Yun clapped his hands in agreement, and gave Cao Cao a god-level equipment for free: the Seven Star Treasure Knife!

It's a pity that although Cao Cao's equipment is good, the plan to step on the point is not done well, and there are accidents one after another during the operation, so that the assassination fails.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo was extremely angry, he felt that he had never been so angry, because, since he Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, all the civil and military officials in Luoyang were afraid of him and disgusted him to the extreme. Only Cao Cao was the exception, he didn't treat him Dong Zhuo like those ministers, but on the contrary, he respected him very much, which made him Dong Zhuo feel secretly refreshed.

I think that at the beginning, when everyone was a horse boy under the command of the general He Jin, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao also met, but they didn't have too deep friendships, at most they could only be regarded as nodding friends. And now because of this time, he Dong Zhuo seems to have found a friend, and he is more or less comforted in his heart.

However, he never thought that Cao Cao, a guy who was regarded as a friend of himself, would actually come to assassinate him, if it weren't for his vigilance Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that he would have become a corpse.

It was only at this time that he didn't get it, it turned out that Cao Cao respected him. Befriending himself is all to get close to himself and assassinate himself, which also makes him Dong Zhuo very angry. Three orders have been issued, and it has been spread to the world that Cao Cao must be arrested and brought to justice.

Cao Cao was also a ruthless man, and after failing to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he rushed all the way back to Chenliu. With the support of his father Cao Song, he scattered his family wealth to recruit Xiangyong, and was also helped by the local powerful Wei Zi, who took the lead in exposing the righteousness and preparing to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Because of his assassination of Dong Zhuo, his reputation soared, and for a time, countless heroes rushed to Cao Cao.

In the following year, in the first month of the first year of the first year of the first peace, Cao Cao issued a letter to beg the thief, calling on all the princes to join forces. Defeat Dong Zhuo.

For a time, the whole Han Dynasty was surging, and the princes from all walks of life, large or small, revolted one after another, raised troops in response, and planned to join forces with the sour jujube to jointly crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo.

Xiao Lan was naturally not idle, during this time, although he did not launch a major military operation, he let Xu He secretly contact several other Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou, including Bai Rao, Yu Poison and Geng Ling, and even small Yellow Turban troops such as Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, etc. More than 320,000 people, gathered in the county seat, as little as 10,000 or 20,000 people, entrenched in the mountains and forests.

For these people. Xiao Lan naturally didn't need to play any clever means, he only put out the identity of the immortals, lured them, and oppressed them by force with the carved dragon and gold seal, and soon, these Yellow Turban troops surrendered one after another with a good understanding of the current affairs. Accepted Xiao Lan's reorganization and reform.

Xiao Lan followed the way of receiving Changguang County, selected the best of them to form the Taiping Army, and the rest of the people entered the households to divide the land and put it into production, and the craftsmen were organized, either to build farm tools, or to cast armor, although on the surface the forces of Qingzhou have not changed, but in fact, half of the huge Qingzhou has secretly fallen into Xiao Lan's control.

During this period, Xiao Lan traveled all over Qingzhou, and everywhere he looked, the fields were barren, the land was dry, the refugees were displaced, the people were homeless, the roadsides were full of barren mounds, dead bodies, starving, thirsty, and exhausted...... Miserable, Xiao Lan was full of emotion, and immediately ordered the territory of the Taiping Army to receive the Qingzhou refugees, and in less than a month, the number of people controlled by Xiao Lan exceeded two million.

Within a few days, among the Taiping Army, Yu Xuan, who was still somewhat knowledgeable, frowned and reminded Xiao Lan: "Lord, it's not a way to go on like this, there are too many people, people eat horses and feed, and the daily consumption is an astonishing amount, and if we don't think about it, we Taiping Army will collapse in a short time." ”

"Hehe......." Hearing this, Xiao Lan immediately laughed, and said: "Calculate the time, it's almost the same, in three days, when the princes will join the alliance, we will take advantage of the situation to revolt, and when we fully occupy Qingzhou, these are not problems." ”

"The lord means to rob the rich people?" Yu Poison couldn't help but ask: "However, didn't the lord issue a military order that the Taiping army should not rob the people?" ”

"Hah! Yu Poison, Yu Poison, you are really blind to this name. Xiao Lan said with a smile: "What I'm saying is that you are not allowed to rob ordinary people, those rich families, there are few kind-hearted people, most of them are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, wealthy families, food and clothing, all of them are people's fat and people's ointment, deal with them, no need to be polite!" ”

When Yu Poison heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, speaking of which, robbery, this is their Yellow Turban Army's old business!

Three days later, Si Li, sour jujube.

The jujube is located at the junction of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou, and has always been a battleground for soldiers. In history, Zhang Liang was the first emperor who was assassinated here, and Zhao Kuangyin in later generations was also in the yellow robe here, with an extraordinary status.

And today's Han Dynasty, the sour jujube is in Sili Henan Suozao County, which is not too far from Luoyang, so Cao Cao put the location of this alliance here.

With the passage of time, Cao Cao's article on Dong Wei also slowly spread out, and all the princes from all over the Han Dynasty received the news and rushed to the Sour Jujube Alliance:

The first town, the later general, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shuzi Highway. The second town, Jizhou Thorn History Han Fu character festival. The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Lingzi Gongxu. The fourth town, Yanzhou Thorn History Liu Dai Zi Gongshan. The fifth town, Hanoi County, is too shou Wang Kuang Zi Gong Festival. In the sixth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao's character Meng Zhuo. The seventh town, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao character Yuanwei. The eighth town, Shanyang is too shou Yuan's posthumous word Boye. The ninth town, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin word Yuncheng. The tenth town, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong character Wenju. The eleventh town, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao character Meng Gao. The twelfth town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian word Gongzu. The thirteenth town, Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng word Shoucheng. The fourteenth town, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan word Bo Jue. In the fifteenth town, the party is too protective of Zhang Yang's character. The sixteenth town, Wucheng Hou, Changsha Taishou Sun Jianwentai. The seventeenth town, Qi Xianghou and Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao were originally written. In addition, Cao Cao's headquarters, a total of eighteen princes, and heroes such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in Pingyuan County, all gathered.

The princes set up camp and went down to the village, connecting more than 200 miles. Cao Cao slaughtered cattle and sheep, feasted the leaders, and discussed the strategy of marching into the army.

Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, said: "We are ordered to gather here, and we need to set up an alliance leader; Everyone can only work together after listening to the constraints of the alliance leader. ”

Jizhou Assassin Han Fu said: "I elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, which is expected by everyone!" ”

When everyone heard this, they responded one after another, and Yuan Shao sat on the position of the leader of the alliance under the recommendation of everyone, and said: "Although Shao is not talented, since you are promoted as the leader of the alliance, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your guilt." The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Obey it and do not transgress it. ”

After a pause, he looked at the crowd and said, "My brother Yuan Shu is the governor of grain and grass, and he can deal with the camps, and there is no shortage of them." It is necessary for one person to be the pioneer and reach the challenge of the Tiger Prison Pass. The rest of the people took their own risks, thinking that they would respond. ”

Sun Jian was earnest in his meritorious service, and said: "I am willing to be the front." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Wentai is brave and brave, and he can take this position." ”

Sun Jiandang led his troops straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, thus starting the mighty battle against Dong!

This is destined to be a day to be remembered for this world, because, on this day, after some intense preparations, Xiao Lan finally raised troops in Qingzhou.

The Taiping army has more than 200,000 people and more than 200,000 soldiers, Xiao Lan called himself the generalissimo of Pingtian, and his generals Bai Rao, Yu Poison, Geng Ling, Xu He, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Yu Poison, etc., under the leadership of Xiao Lan, raised troops from all over Qingzhou.

The elite of the rebel army, and the advantage of a surprise attack, launched a large-scale attack, siege the city, and in one day, most of the territory of Qingzhou fell into the hands of the Taiping army...... (To be continued.) )
