Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 70 The Strategy of Subversion

Fifty miles east of Luoyang, a steady stream of allied soldiers came in, and the camps were firmly entrenched, sealing off all the main transportation routes. With the continuous accumulation of the coalition forces in front, the huge fleet of the Bohai Sea Army is also slowly approaching Luoshui, and the sky over Luoyang is covered with battle clouds, and the battle is about to break out.

A few people of insight are keenly aware that compared with the tragic siege battle a few years ago, once this battle breaks out, its scale will far exceed the previous one, and the most ironic thing is that the previous battle was still besieged by the Liangzhou warlords, but this time it was replaced by the Liangzhou military system trapped in the city...... Those who can think of this all shake in their hearts: Could it be that Han Sui changed his strategy after returning from the feather, and finally achieved the goal of controlling the imperial capital through Dong Zhuo? So...... The root of this battle is to compete for royal orthodoxy and the righteousness of the world, whoever can win in the end will be ordered by the Son of Heaven to order not to obey, and from then on command the world!

Just as the soldiers on both sides were actively preparing for war and the eyes of the world were focused, Yuan Shao, as the commander of the coalition forces, was shrinking into a small military tent, and was having an important conversation with a group of cronies and subordinates that might affect the situation in the world:

"Everyone!" Yuan Shaoyang raised a roll of white silk in his hand: "Boqiu has sent a secret letter last night...... Dong Zhuo killed Wu Huan, endangering everyone who was still stranded in the imperial capital. And Dong Zhuo went perverse after entering Beijing, except for his subordinates and generals, he had already rebelled and left his relatives in the court, and this was the perfect time for us to turn things around in one fell swoop! ”

Zhang Miao said worriedly: "Having said that, but after Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang, the city defense force reached 70,000 people....... with the 200,000 troops of our army, can we really capture Luoyang, which is high in the city and deep in the pool?" Back then, Han Sui didn't capture this city with more than four times the elite troops! ”

"It's 240,000!" Cao Cao corrected: "The total strength of our army is 240,000, in addition to the 200,000 horses of our coalition army, there are also 40,000 soldiers and horses of Nanying Yang and Sun Changsha!" ”

"Them?" A gloomy general spoke, he was Chen Yiyu Qiu Yi, who had been hidden in the dark, and since he went to Danyang with Liu Bei to recruit troops, he had appeared beside Yuan Shao for the first time. He sneered: "I heard that Meng De and Nanying have always had a good relationship...... But please don't forget. Back then, on the banks of Luoshui and Zhang Rang's mansion, you wanted to kill him several times and then quickly! Echoing him so soon? ”

"What did you say!" Cao Cao said angrily: "Now that we are condemning the national thieves, it is the time to poke together, do you still want to settle the past grievances?" ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shao frowned imperceptibly, and interrupted: "It's all silent...... The Bohai Navy and the Changsha Army are still the biggest help to eliminate Dong Zhuo, and they should not be insulted! What we have to do now is not only to conquer Luoyang and eradicate Dong Zhuo, the biggest threat, but also to eradicate Dong Zhuo, which is crucial. We must consider the belonging of the orthodoxy of the world! ”

"Orthodoxy?" Zhang Miao was stunned and said: "Orthodoxy is the Son of Heaven!" Isn't he in Dong Zhuo's hands at this time? ”

"Of course I know it's the Son of Heaven!" Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly filled with cold light: "It's a pity, this son of heaven is Dong Hou, who was supported by Dong Zhuo single-handedly....... if he personally reprimanded me in front of the battle to get off the horse and be bound, what should I do?" ”

"What?" Wen Chou stared at a pair of ringed eyes, and said with a smile: "It's just a child, even if he is the emperor?" When it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, can the Son of Heaven command the world? ”

"Ignorance!" Yuan Shao said fiercely: "Our purpose is to obey the Son of Heaven to order not to obey, and then to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!" If we first show disloyalty to the Son of Heaven, will we not be dishonest with the world? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded. If you start an army in the name of righteousness, if you lose your loyalty in front of the Son of Heaven, you will really laugh at the world!

When the first emperor was there, although there was no edict specifying whether the successor was Dong Hou or Shi Hou. But in the chaotic night of the imperial capital, even the Empress Dowager Dong, who has always been the biggest supporter of Dong Hou, was forced to compromise with Zhang Rang, He Jin and others in the dilemma of seeking perfection, and jointly supported Shi Hou as the emperor. Arguably. Shi Hou is recognized as orthodox. However, after the chaos, Shi Hou mysteriously disappeared, and Zhang Rang, He Jin, He Miao and others all died in the chaos. Empress He could no longer stand alone, and Empress Dowager Dong received Dong Zhuo's strong support, and the situation was reversed in an instant, and Dong Hou quickly ascended to the throne without any competitors. This made Yuan Shao and others, who have always been under the banner of supporting history, feel embarrassed, but there is nothing they can do.

Yuan Shao's concerns are not only groundless, but also imminent. Yuan Shao, as the world's leading famous family, his ancestors in the fourth generation and the third duke, all regarded themselves as loyal ministers and righteous men, even with the old scheming of everyone present, in the face of such a headache, they were also silent and troublesome.

Suddenly, someone in the corner of the tent smiled and said, "If you want to solve this matter, why is it difficult?" ”

All eyes shot over, but in the corner of the tent, a handsome young man couldn't help but sneer.

"Is that you?" Yuan Shao was stunned, he almost didn't remember the name of this person, so he had to reluctantly say: "You are a person highly recommended by Xun Lao, if he didn't still praise you during his illness, he would not have allowed you to participate in such an important meeting....... since you came to discuss the matter on behalf of the B line, you might as well make suggestions on behalf of the B family!" ”

"Who doesn't know that the B line is a group of wise men among us?" In the crowd, someone sneered: "A stinky kid can also represent Yi Lao?" ”

"You also said that only the second line produces a wise man, so ......" The young man slowly got up, looked at the sky with his eyes, and snorted heavily: "You can also have the eye to recognize the wise?" ”

Seeing that he was young, everyone looked confident, not only did they not think they were angry, but they were a little surprised...... How old and spicy is Yiyi's gaze? It seems that this young man is indeed extraordinary.

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Okay! Let this gentleman be unstinting! ”

"I don't dare to give advice, just to analyze the current situation for you!" The young man smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards Yuan Shao: "Can the Ming Duke know that Dong Zhuo's support for Dong Hou is not right, his words are not good, and his intention to usurp is self-evident?" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yuan Shao said in surprise: "Although Dong Zhuo said that he forcibly supported Dong Hou, but Dong Hou has become the undisputed successor to the throne after Shi Hou's disappearance, how can it be said that his name is not correct and his words are not good?" Also, what credentials do you have for Dong Zhuo's usurpation? ”

"This starts from when Wang Meiren was pregnant with Dong Hou......" The young man suddenly showed an evil smile, and everyone felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts, only to hear the young man continue to talk eloquently: "Have you ever heard of Wang Meiren stealing abortion pills?" ”

"What?" Some of the crowd exclaimed in surprise, while others nodded slightly, and it was clear that the crowd was not fully aware of it.

"I heard. That's because Wang Meiren was afraid of Queen He's secret killer, not only did she not dare to tell the first emperor that she was pregnant, but also quietly took the abortion pill and wanted to kill the child...... Yuan Shao muttered: "It's a pity that Wang Meiren failed to have an abortion and still gave birth to Dong Hou, which led to the disaster of killing herself!" ”

He frowned and said, "You know a lot about these palace secrets, but what do you want to say?" ”

"Exactly! However, I have always wondered what if Wang Meiren secretly had an abortion not because she was afraid of Queen He's revenge, but because there was something else unspeakable? The young man said casually: "Dong Hou is nine years old this year, right?" I heard that about ten years ago, Dong Zhuo once entered the palace to offer the queen mother's birthday. I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

"You? That's what you wanted! With the depth of Yuan Shaocheng's mansion, he was also shocked and said: "How dare you .......?"

"Don't dare, just look at it and don't do it!" The young man interrupted him and said, "If Ming Gong thinks that this plan is feasible, he might as well arrange for someone to do it immediately...... People's words are terrifying, and Dong Zhuo's behavior of supporting Dong Hou, so how can the world guess, and what does it matter to you and me? ”

There was a sudden silence in the tent, and everyone looked at the young man with shocked expressions...... At such a young age, how could he come up with such a vicious and vicious plan? And between talking and laughing. directly put on a rope ring for Dong Zhuo and the two sons of heaven before and after.

"Good...... It's amazing! Yuan Shao finally exhaled a long breath, he quickly calculated the whole incident in his heart, and a smile was difficult to put on his lips.

If such rumors spread quickly, it would indeed cause the Son of Heaven to lose his prestige in commanding the world. Of course, we can completely knock the Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo to the ground together......." He muttered to himself with his eyes in thought: "However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, how can the successor be determined?" ”

"That's even better!" The young man laughed loudly: "When Emperor Heng died violently, wasn't the first emperor also selected by Dou Miao and Dou Wu's father and son among the Liu clans?" ”

"You mean?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "Choose a virtuous monarch from the existing Liu clan?" So is there a suitable candidate? ”

"How is Youzhou Mu Liu Yu?" The young man said categorically: "This person is not only the leader of the royal clan. He has always been respected, and he is kind and peaceful......."

He looked at Yuan Shao and smiled again: "If Duke Ming pushes him as the emperor, his people will definitely obey Duke Ming from now on." And I heard that Liu Yu only has one son, Liu He, and he is also a close friend of Ming Gong? Is there such a thing? ”

When he said "obey his words" and "only have one son", he seemed to deliberately aggravate his tone, but except for Yuan Shao, no one seemed to notice this detail.

The young man's words seemed to have deep meanings, and a pair of wise and profound eyes seemed to be directly telling Yuan Shao's true intentions, which made Yuan Shao's heart flutter when he heard it, as if all his words were just about his heart.......

He slapped the case and said, "That's true! It's really better than reading a book for ten years! Mr. ......"

Yuan Shao was suddenly stunned, and rarely showed a look of shame: "After saying this for a long time, Shao has not even asked Mr. for his name, which is really rude!" ”

The young man waved in front of him: "Yingchuan Guo Jia, I've seen Ming Gong!" ”

"It turned out that he was also a fellow villager of Yilao...... Yingchuan is really full of strange people in the world! Yuan Shao turned the case in person with a happy face, held Guo Jia's arms in both hands, and said happily: "When Old Yi is seriously ill, he still recommends such a great talent for us, which is really a blessing for us!" ”

In the crowd, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at Guo Jia with an indifferent look, and said to himself: "It turns out ...... Is he Guo Jia? ”

"Do you know this kid?" Zhang Miao turned around in astonishment.

"Nope! I don't know! Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's just that I recently met a high-ranking person, and I heard him say Guo Jia's name......." (to be continued......
