Chapter 25: The Yellow Turban Goes to Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong League
After the end of the year, the people returned to normal, and in a certain house.
"Sir, you heard the rumors that no princes from all walks of life have raised troops against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's husband is probably restless now, haha happy and happy, let their court eat dogs." Zhang Bao laughed.
Although Zhang Jiao's face was good, he didn't have so much strength to speak, and nodded with a smile, after all, the court dog eat dog is what their Yellow Turban Army is most happy to see.
"Now the princes from all walks of life are ready to fight him Dong Zhuo, that is, the opportunity for us to wait, Dong Zhuo has no righteousness because of the cruelty of the young emperor, and now it is just that the emperor is coerced so that the ministers do not dare to resist, but Dong Zhuo should not be underestimated, there is Li Ru at the bottom, and there will be Li Dao Guo Yan, don't be careless." Xu Shuo said softly.
"Oh, sir, isn't this the prestige that has been extinguished by others, my yellow scarf doesn't say anything else, it is definitely a good hand in war, there are so many disciples under the eldest brother, and any one person can fight with him without falling behind." Zhang Bao affirmed.
Xu Shuo looked at Zhang Bao and was excited, and it was not good to hit his confidence, and said: "The second general is reasonable, in this way, the second general will go, all the disciples under the general's sect have been integrated, and we will attack Luoyang together, okay?" β
"This ......" Zhang Bao is not good at talking, you can ask him to charge, but it is difficult to ask him to be a lobbyist.
Zhang Jiao came out to relieve his brother Zhang Bao and said, "What should Mr. Nayi do when he sees him?" β
"My suggestion?"
"Yes, sir, please let me know."
Xu Shuo took a sip of tea, put the tea on the table violently, and said categorically: "If my calculation is right, now Dong Zhuo is busy with the crusade of the princes from all walks of life, and he will definitely run away if he is not defeated in the future, and I don't need to say more about where to go, now except for Luoyang, it can only be Chang'an, why Chang'an, a Chang'an is the capital of Longqi, and Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we should prepare early, the princes of all walks of life are just a formality, all of them have different intentions, even if they win this battle, the princes of all walks of life will finally dissolve due to their opinions, We should take advantage of Dong Zhuo's escape to rob the little emperor. β
"Why rob the little emperor, why don't you just kill the little emperor halfway to our side, if you kill the little emperor, no one in the Han family will be able to inherit it, wouldn't it be beautiful to cut off the incense of his Han family?" Zhang Liang said.
Xu Shuo heard Zhang Liang's words and hurriedly shouted no, and explained for a long time, if I kill the little emperor, then my yellow turban is equivalent to Dong Zhuo is even worse, and all forces in the Central Plains will not tolerate it, because if we kill the little emperor and let me become the public enemy of all the princes, the gains outweigh the losses.
Then he said to Zhang Jiao that he could take the little emperor over, although it was likely that he would also be attacked by the princes, but now the eyes of all the princes are on Dong Zhuo, if we take the emperor over as a threat, the princes will at least get rid of Dong Zhuo before they have time to deal with us, at that time, we will be dealing with all the princes under the banner of surrendering the Son of Heaven, if there are princes who fight against us, we can say that he disobeys the Son of Heaven and lets other princes deal with him, and we will make profits in it, wouldn't it be happy.
Zhang Jiao frowned and said, "Isn't this against the will of Mr. Isn't this a hand that puts my Yellow Turban people in the heat of the Han Dynasty again?" β
"No, no, no, the general didn't understand what Shuo meant, the reason why Shuo asked the general to take the emperor over was just to temporarily borrow his tiger skin, with the tiger skin of the Son of Heaven, our yellow scarves have morality, otherwise I will wait for the yellow scarves to be scraped and eaten by the princes from all walks of life, not a long-term way."
In the end, Xu Shuo persuaded Zhang Jiao and the others with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and Dong Zhuo at this time.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the beginning of the war, Dong Zhuo's situation was extremely embarrassing. Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, were stationed in Hanoi County (the county was in the southwest of present-day Wushe, Henan) and threatened Luoyang from the north; Kong Ling, the Thorn of Yuzhou, was stationed in Yingchuan County (the county was in present-day Yu County, Henan), and Liu Dai, Chen Liutai, Zhang Miao, Guangling, Zhang Chao, Qiaomao, Dongjun, Yuan Yi, Shanyang, Bao Xin, and Cao Cao, Jibei Xiang, were stationed in Sujube (southwest of Yanjin, Henan); Later general Yuan Shu led his army to besiege Luoyang from the south. At that time, the warlords of all walks of life each had tens of thousands of troops, and the total number of coalition troops reached hundreds of thousands, forming a huge encirclement of Dong Zhuo from the north, east, and south.
"What should I do, this Yuan Benchu deceived people too much, gathered all the princes to attack me, saying that I hijacked the Son of Heaven and poisoned the young emperor and the queen mother, hum, he Yuan Benchu was not a good thing, he couldn't fight me when He Jin was there, and now he is teaming up with those short-sighted people to attack me, and Cao Mengde, at that time, everyone was not optimistic about him being a eunuch, it was me, I was optimistic about what he gave him now. And he took revenge on En, but joined Yuan Shao to resist me, this person is a villain, angry with me, angry with me! In the palace, Dong Zhuo dragged his fat body around the house.
A person on the side was wearing a dark blue robe, and the beard under the corners of his mouth was not very long, but very short, although it was short, but it was very neat, the man touched his slightly short beard with his hand, and said to Dong Zhuo, who was in a hurry and drove back and walked: "Lord, now that the princes from all walks of life are coming, we can't help but guard against it, and now the best way is to guard the Yellow River Mengjin (now northeast of Ping County, Henan); East Shou Xingyang (now Xingyang, Henan); In the south, Guangcheng Pass and Yique Pass were guarded, forming a three-sided circular defense line, relying on danger to block the attack of the coalition forces. This person is Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law Li Ru.
"Wen You's words are very good!" Dong Zhuo said.
"But although it's good, you can't help but retreat, the worst is planned, Wen You, you go down and collect all the wealth in Luoyang, in case we don't hold Luoyang, we will withdraw to Chang'an, take everything, remember that all the wealth has been collected, don't leave him Yuan Shao a penny, hum, attack me, I will let you get nothing." Dong Zhuo said angrily.
"Yes, my lord." Then Li Ru went down to arrange it.
Later, in order to combat the power of the coalition forces in the imperial court, he killed Shangshu Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, and slaughtered the Yuan family's family in Beijing, and even the baby was not spared.
A few months later, the news of Dong Zhuo's killing of Yuan Shao's family reached Yuan Shao's camp, and Yuan Shao became seriously ill directly after hearing this.
Cao Cao came to visit Yuan Shao, who was seriously ill, and Yuan Shao said to the people who came to visit him on the bed: "Dong Zhuo, how dare you kill Shaozhi's whole family, Shao and you are incompatible, if you don't destroy you, Shao will not be a man!" β
Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was too excited lying on the bed, and said: "Brother Ben, please mourn, now it is our common volunteer to ask for Dong, we will definitely help you kill the thief of this troubled dynasty with you, and now Brother Ben's recovery is the most important thing, if Brother Ben Chu is sick, who will take me to ask for Dong Zhuo's thief?" β
All the princes nodded in accordance with Cao Cao's words.
Yuan Shao cried when he heard Cao Cao's words on the bed, saying that you and the others were all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty and the blessing of the Han Dynasty, and said some words of thanks before turning around and not looking at everyone.
Everyone knew that Yuan Shao was fine, and it didn't take long for him to say some nice things and get up and go back to the camp.
The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth, who turned around, rose slightly.
After Yuan Shao recovered from his illness, he called all the princes to discuss that now everyone is in alliance to fight Dong, there should be an alliance leader to lead everyone, otherwise the dragons will be broken by Dong Zhuo, so Mao Sui recommended himself, feeling that he is the third prince of the fourth generation of a family, although he is not as good as his brother Yuan Shu, but his experience and experience are higher than his brother Yuan Shu, so he deserves the position of the leader of the alliance.
thought that he could be the leader of this alliance without any obstacles, but the later princes recommended Cao Cao to be the leader of this alliance, because Cao Cao's ability was not under his Yuan Shao, it was nothing more than that Yuan Shao was not as powerful, and his mental scheming and calmness were above Yuan Shao, so he recommended him.
Cao Cao is in a hurry, I don't want to break into Yuan Shao's muzzle, how can he match Yuan Shao now that no one is powerful, and hurriedly pushed him to give up his position, and took Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and the few princes who recommended him were not good at what to say, in fact, they also had ulterior motives, and wanted Cao Cao to test Yuan Shao.
But it was really successful, Yuan Shao had a grudge against Cao Cao because Cao Cao and he grabbed the position of the leader of the alliance, and gave Cao Cao small shoes in the middle of the discussion, and Cao Cao secretly complained bitterlyγγγγγ
