Chapter 32: Raising Troops to Fight Dong
When the news of Dong Zhuoquan's tilt to the government and the opposition reached Chang'an City, Jingzhao Yin Gaixun immediately came to the Huangfu Song military camp stationed in Chencang.
Knowing that Jingzhao Yin Gaixun was coming, Huangfu Song immediately took Wang Kai to meet Gaixun.
After Gai Xun saw Huangfu Song in the big tent, he immediately stepped forward and said, "General Huangfu, do you know what happened in Luoyang City?" ”
Seeing Gai Xun asking, Huangfu Song glanced at Wang Kai very suspiciously, and then replied: "Master Gai, what do you mean by this?" ”
"It seems that General Huangfu still doesn't know, Dong Zhuo's mercenaries entered Luoyang City, abolished the young emperor, set up a new emperor, proclaimed himself prime minister, and wantonly slaughtered hundreds of officials, and the entire Luoyang City is now panicked."
"What, such a thing?"
Seeing that Huangfu Song still didn't believe it, Gai Xun immediately took out the secret letter given to him by Situ Yang Biao.
After reading the secret letter, Huangfu Song immediately replied in embarrassment: "Lord Gai, if there is no order from His Majesty, my soldiers and horses cannot be mobilized at will. ”
"General Huangfu, Dong Zhuo has already made the people of Luoyang City panic, how can he care about the edict at this time, not to mention that Dong Zhuo is now covering the sky with one hand, there is no edict at all."
"No, if there is no edict, I will mobilize troops and horses without permission, and it will be no different from Dong Zhuo."
At this time, Wang Kai interjected: "Master, Dong Zhuo did the abolition of the establishment without authorization, and proclaimed himself the prime minister, what he did did not take the law of the Han Dynasty into account at all, if we honestly obey the law, it will only give Dong Zhuo an opportunity to take advantage of, and the disciples think that Dong Zhuo's perverse actions will definitely cause the ministers loyal to the Han family to attack him, so we might as well make plans early." ”
"General Anxi is right, if Dong Zhuo pretends to recruit generals under the pretense of the imperial court's edict, will the generals obey or not?"
"Lord Gai, Xinhao, you don't have to persuade me anymore, since I am a Han general, I can't trample on the law at will, if Dong Zhuo really recruits me under the pretense of the imperial court's edict, I will obey it."
Seeing that Huang Fu Song was dead-headed, Wang Kai and Gai Xun were quite helpless, so they had to temporarily give up persuading Huang Fu Song.
Huangfu Song saw that Gai Xun was no longer persuasive, so he immediately asked Wang Kai to escort Gai Xun out of the camp.
After leaving the camp, Gai Xun thought that Wang Kai was a general of Anxi, and his status was not low, if there was no control by General Zuo Huangfu Song, he would be the biggest general.
Thinking of this, Gai Xun suddenly said to Wang Kai: "General Wang, I listened to your opinions before and found that your remarks are quite unique, do you think General Huangfu's idea is feasible?" ”
Seeing Gai Xun suddenly ask, Wang Kai thought suspiciously: "What does Gai Xun mean by asking me?" Could it be a test of my faithfulness? Thinking of this, Wang Kai suddenly replied with a smile: "Master Gai, Master and his old man have made outstanding achievements, how dare I, a descendant, comment at will." ”
As soon as he heard Wang Kai's answer, Gai Xun understood his thoughts.
Immediately after, Gai Xun immediately said: "General Wang, it seems that you have some embankment against me, okay, then I will make it clear, I want you to take over the subordinates under General Huangfu and raise troops against Dong." ”
Hearing this, Wang Kai was frightened, because he actually had this idea in his heart.
Seeing Wang Kai's surprised look, Gai Xun suddenly continued: "General Wang, I didn't let you do that thing of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, I just hope that when Dong Zhuo passes on the edict, you can find a way to take over the army." ”
Wang Kai finally relieved himself when he heard this, because Gai Xun didn't perceive what he really thought in his heart.
Immediately after, Wang Kai replied: "Lord Gai, I understand what you mean, if Dong Zhuo really sends an edict, I will find a way." ”
"With General Wang's words, I will be relieved, then we will say goodbye!"
"Take care, Lord Gai!"
"General Wang, please go back!"
After making a secret agreement with Gai Xun, Wang Kai also returned to the barracks immediately.
At the end of the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, at the end of 189.
After Cao Cao's attempted assassination of Dong Zhuo, he immediately fled Luoyang.
When Cao Cao came to Chenliu County, he immediately scattered all his wealth to recruit volunteers, and at the same time, he also issued an edict calling on all the heroes of the world to fight against Dong together.
After receiving Cao Cao's edict, the world's heroes responded one after another.
For a time, the princes from all walks of life went to Suojube, Hanoi and Luyang to assemble.
The allied forces assembled by Sujube include: Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao and Xiao Cavalry Captain Cao Cao.
The coalition forces assembled in Hanoi included: Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, and Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao.
The coalition forces assembled in Luyang included: Later General, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian.
After the three coalition forces were assembled, everyone elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance.
After that, the three allied forces of Suoju, Hanoi and Luyang sent troops one after another.
When Dong Zhuo learned that the Kwantung princes had sent troops to attack him in the name of restoring the title of Emperor Hongnong, he immediately stated in the court that he proposed to move the capital to Chang'an.
After hearing Dong Zhuo's proposal, Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao immediately stood up and argued, and the rest of the ministers in the court followed the two to echo them.
Seeing that no one in the Manchu Dynasty agreed to move the capital, Dong Zhuo suddenly became angry and said: "Okay, let's stop this matter for the time being, let's retreat from the dynasty!" ”
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo wanted to be more angry, so he immediately summoned Li Ru.
Seeing Li Ru's arrival, Dong Zhuo immediately said: "Wen Wei, today the ministers of the DPRK and China refuse to agree to move the capital, do you have a way to make them relax." ”
"Lord, it is not difficult to promote the relocation of the capital, you only need to find a reason to remove Huang Wan and Yang Biao, who took the lead today, and the rest of the courtiers are not afraid."
"Okay, that's it!"
The next day, Dong Zhuo casually found a reason to dismiss Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao.
When the rest of the courtiers saw that Dong Zhuo was acting so ruthlessly, they instantly lost their heart of resistance, and the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an was naturally settled.
After deciding on the matter of moving the capital, Dong Zhuo was worried that Jingzhao Yin Gaixun and Zuo General Huangfu Song, who were guarding near Chang'an City, would respond to the Allied anti-Dong forces, so he immediately asked Liu Xie to send an edict to recruit Gai Xun as a councillor and let him go to Luoyang, and at the same time, he also issued an edict to recruit Huangfu Song and Wang Kai as captains of the city gate.
When Dong Zhuo's edict was transmitted to Chang'an and Chencang successively, Jingzhao Yin Gaixun immediately reorganized his troops and horses.
After Huangfu Song received Dong Zhuo's edict, he immediately summoned Wang Kai and explained the content of the decree to him.
Knowing that he was also in the ranks of the conscription, Wang Kai was stunned for a moment and then figured it out, because he was a disciple of Huangfu Song, and Dong Zhuo would not leave him to take over the army.
After thinking about the reason, Wang Kai immediately said to Huangfu Song: "Master, the apprentice will go and prepare." ”
"Xinhao, I'll give you one night's time, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Obey orders!"
Leaving Huangfu Song's tent, Wang Kai immediately returned to his military camp and found Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng.
After Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng came to the camp, Wang Kai immediately said to the two of them: "Shubao, Shixin, the two of you will immediately change into personal soldier clothes. ”
After Luo Cheng heard this, he asked very suspiciously: "Lord, what happened?" ”
"Shixin, I went to meet the master just now, Dong Zhuo really passed down the edict to let the master go to Luoyang, and I am also in the ranks of the conscription, if I go to Luoyang alone now, I will definitely die for the sake of the people of the world, I have to do a big rebellious thing tonight, that is, to capture the master and then take over the army."
After hearing Wang Kai's words, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng were taken aback, because what Wang Kai wanted to do was indeed a bit rebellious, but Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng decided to follow Wang Kai after thinking about it.
Seeing that Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng agreed, Wang Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief, because Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng were relatively righteous people, and he was deeply afraid that Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng would not be willing to act, if so, it would be difficult for him to succeed alone.
