Chapter 165: Coercing the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes

Mao Gan's Shanyue army was beaten by Han Xuanjun's mandarin duck array and didn't dare to come out at all, Han Xuan was eager to have a decisive battle with Mao Gan, he couldn't spend too much time on a small Shanyue leader.

Jiangdong also has Sun Ce and Zhou Yu eyeing each other, Jiang Qin is afraid that he will not be able to hold it, so Han Xuan repaired a letter, ordered someone to ride a fast horse to find Xu Rong, and asked Xu Rong to lead the army to Wuhu to assist Jiang Qin in defending the city.

Han Xuan's army has besieged the mountain for more than a month, and the Shanyue army in Maogan on the mountain is short of food, and there have been several waves of infighting. Han Xuanjun often heard the sound of swords and soldiers on the mountain, Han Xuan and Tai Shici took advantage of the situation to attack, Mao Gan's troops killed Mao Gan and cut off his head to Han Xuan, and all the Wuliao Mountains and Shanyue surrendered.

Fortunately, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not take the opportunity to attack Wuhu, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sent troops to attack Wu County on the north and south fronts. Sun Ce's army marched in, and the counties of Wu County surrendered, and Zhou Yu led the army from Wucheng into Wu County, and Wu County Taishou Xu Gong was resisted by the Fist.

Zhou Yu tried many tricks and defeated Xu Gongjun. Xu Gong fled south and took refuge with the bandit Yan Baihu, Zhou Yu's army entered Wu County, and Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu to lead Wu County Taishou on his behalf.

After Sun Ce occupied Wu County, he continued to go to Youquan to meet Zhou Yu, Sun Ce convened the generals to meet, Wu Jing said: "Yan Baihu is a wealthy family in Wu County, with more than 10,000 people in Wu County, according to Shicheng Mountain and Baihu Mountain as a lair. If Bo Fu wants to settle Wu County, he must ask for it first. ”

Sun Ce shook his head and said, "Yan Baihu's people are just mountain bandits, so there is nothing to worry about. Wang Lang occupies Huiji, and Huiji County is connected to Yuzhang in the south, and our army should ask for it first. If Han Xuan is allowed to take the lead, it will be difficult. ”

Sun Ce's eyes were full of jealousy, and he said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin is here in Lujiang, what if Han Xuan takes the opportunity to lead the army to attack Wanling?" ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Bo Fu is too worried, there is still my uncle in Wanling who refuses to defend it, and it will never be broken by Han Xuan's generation." Han Xuanxin Pingyi County and She County, I am afraid to take the opportunity to go south to compete with Bo Fu for Huiji. ”

Zhou Yu expected it well, Han Xuan did not lead the army to attack Wanling, which was guarded by Zhou Shang, and after Han Xuan pacified the people of Yi County and She County, he reorganized the old army of Shanyue and got nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Han Xuan and Tai Shici continued to march and open up the south, migrating many landless displaced people to the south for development. The place they arrived at was called "Damo", and it already belonged to the territory of Huiji County.

At this time, Zhang Hong sent a letter to Han Xuan, and there was a drastic change in Chang'an. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others were suspicious of each other, and contradictions gradually arose. General Fan Chou left the Kanto region and asked Li Dao to increase his troops. Li Wei was jealous of Fan Chou's bravery and won the hearts of the people, and secretly ambushed the samurai to assassinate Fan Chou in the seat. So the generals were even more suspicious of each other, and Li Dao and Guo Yan raised troops to attack each other.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sent Shizhong and Shangshu to make peace for Li Dao and Guo Yan, but they did not obey. Guo Yan and the Anxi general Yang Ding plotted to rob Emperor Xian. When Li Dao heard the news, he rushed to welcome Emperor Xian to his camp. He also plundered the palace, robbed the palace gold silks, public opinions, car clothes and other utensils, and then set fire to the palace, the government and the private houses.

Emperor Xian sent more than 10 ministers such as Yang Biao, Sikong Zhang Xi and other ministers to Guo Biao to make peace, but Guo Biao did not obey and detained Yang Biao and others in the camp. Yang Biao blamed Guo Yan, and Li Dao robbed the minister and the Son of Heaven. Guo Yan was furious and wanted to kill Yang Biao, but he stopped after his persuasion.

Guo Yan then raised troops to attack Li Dao. Li Dao was defeated and was wounded by a bow and arrow, but fortunately met the general Yang Feng and the Baibo army to rescue. After Guo Yan withdrew from the army, Li Dao kidnapped Emperor Xian to his north dock, so that people guarded the dock door, isolated from the inside and outside, and Emperor Xian asked Huangfu Li to make peace for Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Li Dao did not allow it, and attacked each other with Guo Yan, and continued for months, with tens of thousands of dead. In May, Li Dao made himself the Great Sima, above the Third Duke. In June, Zhang Ji traveled from Shaanxi County to Chang'an to reconcile Li and Guo, and he wanted to make Emperor Xian move to Hongnong.

Emperor Xian also wanted to return to Luoyang at this time, and sent an envoy to ask Li Dao, and the envoy went back and forth ten times before Li Dao's permission was obtained. At the same time, Yang Feng, the general of Li Dao's army, suddenly defected and took refuge in Guo Yan, and the soldiers recruited by Li Dao and Hu also dispersed due to the Han court's promise of rewards, and their strength was greatly reduced.

So Li Dao obeyed Zhang Ji's proposal, and Guo Yan took women as hostages, and called off the army to make peace. In July, Guo Yan proclaimed himself a general of chariots and cavalry, and opened a mansion like the third duke, and Li Wei led the army out of Tunchiyang. In the same month, Emperor Xian took Zhang Ji as the hussar general, Yang Ding as the rear general, Yang Feng as the Xingyi general, and Dong Cheng as the Anji general, and then returned to the east.

Han Xuan bit his lip tightly, he was very entangled. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was ready to return to the east at this time, and according to the original history, Cao Cao would definitely rush to welcome Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty before the princes moved the capital to Xuchang. From then on, Cao Cao "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes", politically occupying the initiative among the princes, and Cao Cao also took advantage of this to increase his prestige and recruit countless talents.

Han Xuan really wanted to grab this Han Xian Emperor with Cao Cao, but he was in a stalemate with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong. Tai Shi Ci seemed to see Han Xuan's worries, and said to him, "Lord, but what's the urgent matter?" The lord can rest assured that he is here, and I will make it impossible for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to gain a firm foothold in Huiji. ”

Han Xuan left Tai Shici to continue to develop Huiji here, revitalize Tuntian, and encourage production. Han Xuan rode on the Qilin BMW, and hurried to Yuzhang, Han Xuan frowned: "Li Dao, you can't die so early, I have to kill you with my own hands to take revenge!" ”

Gu Yong saw that Han Xuan was back, and said as he walked with Han Xuan: "Lord, the Son of Heaven fled from Chang'an......"

Han Xuan stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Needless to say, I know everything." Hua Xin, Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, Lu Dai and others were summoned to discuss here. ”

After all the strategists arrived, Han Xuan asked, "The Son of Heaven fled from Chang'an, do you think I should welcome the Son of Heaven to Jiangnan?" ”

Hua Xin said: "The Son of Heaven is far away in the north, and there are several princes in between, even if they don't welcome the Son of Heaven, I am afraid they will not let the lord succeed." If the lord wants to go to meet the Son of Heaven, it will be even more difficult. According to what can be seen below, the lord should step up preparations for war, compete with Sun Ce for Huiji, and then pacify Jiangdong, and dominate Jiangnan, then hegemony can be achieved! ”

Zhang Zhao weighed left and right, and said to Han Xuan: "The lord must welcome the Son of Heaven, and first, he can 'serve the Son of Heaven to order not to obey', and if the lord wants to raise troops to attack the princes, he can borrow the name of the Son of Heaven." Second, when the Son of Heaven came to the lord's account, he did not have to worry that the people of the world would not compete to come to serve the court. And this son of heaven is under the nose of the lord, hehehe, they serve the court, aren't they also serving the lord? ”

Han Xuan glanced at Zhang Zhao, but he didn't expect that his insight was quite far-reaching, and Han Xuan couldn't figure out why he persuaded Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi in history.

Han Xuan nodded at Zhang Zhao and said, "Zibu is really far-sighted, I have made up my mind, and I will lead an elite army to meet the Son of Heaven." It's just that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have to be guarded against, and I have ordered Taishi Citun to be examined. Wuhu and Jing County need to send heavy troops to defend, can you share my worries? ”

Lu Dai stepped forward and said: "General Chen Wu bravely crowned the three armies, and Dai is willing to go to help Shoujing County." ”

Han Xuan agreed, and let Lu Dai and Xu Sheng go together, with Chen Wu here, they could defend and attack.

Not to be outdone, Gu Yong asked Han Xuan to go to Wuhu to help Jiang Qin defend the city, and Zhang Hong returned to Anhui City to help Huang Zhong defend Liu Xun. Zhang Zhao went with Han Xuan to prepare to welcome Emperor Xian.

Just as Han Xuan was about to hit the road, the princes from all walks of life were also ready to move. Jizhou, Yecheng, and Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, looking at the civil and military staff in the conference hall, waiting for them to speak.

At this time, a green-shirted scribe came out and said: "The lord ancestor is the fourth and third princes, and he is favored by the emperor." Now His Majesty is displaced, the temple society is destroyed, and the princes of the world have their own states and counties, and they have never kept one side peaceful, and they have raised troops to fight each other. Since the lord has occupied Jizhou, he should welcome the Son of Heaven and move the capital to Yecheng! 'Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes'! In this way, the world returns to the heart, and the sea surrenders. The lord is edicted to rebel, and the princes dare to disobey! ”

This person is Yuan Shao's adviser, Jizhou don't be frustrated, frustrated. After listening to what Yuan Shao said, he stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Okay! The public and what he said are very much in line with my heart. ”
