Chapter 18: The Beginning of Dong Zhuo's Hegemony!

In May 189 AD, Liu Wei ascended to the throne. Taifu Dong Cheng assassinated Liu Wei because of Zhang Rang's scheme, and was rescued by General He Jin, Dong Cheng was then killed by He Jin for the crime of rebellion, and then He Jin used the name of the Qing Jun side to recruit Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the school, to enter Beijing to help, Yuan Shao came and persuaded He Jin to recruit Dong Zhuo to Beijing to help He Jin strengthen He Jin, He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's opinion, passed Dong Zhuo into the palace, and then began to purge the eunuch forces in the palace.

In June of the same year, the ten permanent servants conspired to get rid of He Jin, falsely passed on the holy decree of the queen mother, recruited He into the palace, and deliberately removed him. Subsequently, he entered the palace and was killed by the ten permanent servants.

In the chaos in Beijing, Liu Wei was afraid of being killed and fled out of the palace with his younger brother Liu Xie, and was rescued by Dong Zhuo who rushed into the palace. At this point, Dong Zhuoba's dynasty began.

In the early morning, the sun gradually poked its head out of the eastern sky, like a shy girl, timid. After a while, it probably knew that it shouldn't be like this, so it jumped out of the horizon like a naughty little boy. Suddenly, everything on the earth turned golden, like a glittering golden gauze, and everything in the world came alive.

The sun's rays shone through Xu Shuo's window and hit Xu Shuo's face.

"Hasn't you gotten up yet, sir?" Outside the door, Li'er hesitantly asked the two soldiers guarding Xu Shuo's door, because Zhang Jiao had instructed him not to disturb Mr. at will to rest yesterday, Zhang Jiao saw that it was now three poles, Xu Shuo had not gotten up, so he asked Li'er to call Xu Shuo to get up, saying that there was something to discuss.

Xu Shuo's eyes in the house were awakened by the sun's rays, and he just heard someone calling outside the door, so he asked outside the door, "Is it Miss Li'er?" ”

Outside the door, Li'er heard Xu Shuo's voice, and knew that Xu Shuo had woken up, so she said to the house: "Sir, it's all three poles now, get up quickly, the general told you to go to the study to discuss matters!" ”

"Good! You go back and tell the general to wait a while, and so-and-so will wash up and go immediately. Xu Shuo said to the pear outside the door.

After Xu Shuo cleaned up, he asked the soldiers guarding his door to lead the way towards his study.

"This is the study, sir, please come in, the little ones will go back to their posts first!" The soldier who brought Xu Shuo to the study was respectful to Xu Shuo, and then turned back to stand guard.

In fact, the yellow scarf is not very rich, for Zhang Jiao, he is still very peaceful, it sounds like a study, but it is an independent small courtyard separated from the main house, because it is separated from the main courtyard, so generally Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao are quietly discussing here, unless there is an emergency, they will report to Zhang Jiao in the lobby.

As soon as I entered the study, in addition to Zhang Jiao, there were two other people sitting on both sides of Zhang Jiao.

"Sir, you are here, cough cough~" Zhang Jiao wanted to get up to greet him, Xu Shuo saw that his face was still not good, so he walked in and held him down, and sat down opposite.

"Sir, now that the court is in turmoil, it is the day when my Yellow Turban people will fight back, overthrow the imperial court, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world!" Zhang Jiao sighed.

Zhang Bao on the side laughed and said: "Now those bastards in the court are fighting in the nest, haha let Mou be very happy to hear it, my yellow turban people finally have the day to turn over, I heard the eldest brother say that you are a saint, but what is the plan?" ”

And Zhang Liang next to Zhang Bao was silent, his eyes kept staring at Xu Shuo, wanting to see what Xu Shuo was capable of, and those eyes seemed to want to see Xu Shuo through.

"It's messy, haha it's finally messed up, Dong Zhuo still entered Beijing, this is very good, at least I know the things behind, now the spring of next year is estimated to be the day when the princes of the Eighteenth Road discuss Dong, that is, when there is no time to manage the Yellow Turban, well, there are a lot of things that can be operated, and it is not good if you don't do something now, at least first occupy more land and settle the people of the Yellow Turban, the people are fundamental."

Xu Shuo said to Zhang Jiao when he heard this: "Now that the court is in turmoil, it is indeed an opportunity for us to wait, but now the princes from all walks of life are eyeing us, such as Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Yuan Shu of Huainan, and these princes must not be disturbed now." ”

Zhang Bao stopped doing it when he heard this, and said mockingly: "Then what Mr. saw was that he didn't do anything to watch the fire from the other side?" ”

"Correct solution," Xu Shuo said undeniably.

Zhang Bao was unhappy and shouted: "I'm afraid that Mr. is afraid of him Yuan Benchu, I'm not afraid, big brother, you give me 10,000 soldiers, I promise to capture at least two cities during this period, and fight the power of my yellow scarf!" ”

"Second brother don't have to be excited, Mr. has his own opinion, I'll wait and listen to Mr.'s opinion, don't be so rude in front of Mr., don't sit down quickly, cough cough~" Zhang Jiao covered his mouth and coughed twice.

Zhang Bao saw Zhang Jiao's excited expression, and hurriedly said to Zhang Jiao: "Big brother is angry, little brother's fault, don't be excited, brother just doesn't want to see the opportunity in front of him just flow away like this, brother knows that he is wrong, big brother, please take care of your body, and lead our Yellow Turban people to the light." After speaking, Zhang Bao also apologized to Xu Shuo and sat down cross-legged.

"The general doesn't have to be excited, the second general is just anxious for the blessings of the people, and the three generals will listen to so-and-so." Xu Shuo said calmly.

"Now, although you see the turmoil in the imperial court, but my Yellow Turban is the force that pushes the government, if the action is too big, the princes of all walks of life in the Guannai will definitely jointly suppress us first, and now although they are too busy to take care of themselves, but they should not be underestimated, according to a certain opinion, rest and recuperate first, and wait for my Yellow Turban soldiers to grow strong and have more food on the day when the soldiers are not better? Let him wait for the princes to consume each other, I will wait to clean up the remnants and better reduce unnecessary sacrifices, now although my yellow turban people are millions, but the soldiers who can fight are only tens of thousands, and the generals who can take out their hands are only the number of hands, and the others are all the old, weak, sick and ordinary people. If you say that the Yellow Turban has the power of all the princes to fight, it is better to say that so-and-so did not say it? ”

Zhang Jiao couldn't deny that Xu Shuo was right, Zhang Bao heard that the excitement was extinguished as if he had suddenly been poured a basin of water, and he sat there with a lost expression thinking about Xu Shuo's words, Zhang Liangye was surprised by Xu Shuo's words for a long time, and sighed Xu Shuo's mind in his heart.

The surroundings were suddenly quiet for a while, and the three Zhang Jiao brothers were all thinking about Xu Shuo's words.

"Now that I am temporarily recuperating and training more, I have been disturbing the general here for a long time, and it is not good to not contribute, so let's do it, I will go to the barracks with the second general in the coming day, help the second general practice and train the soldiers, and lay the foundation for the follow-up, is the general good?" Xu Shuo said with a smile.

"It is the blessing of my yellow turban people that Mr. can work so hard for my yellow turban, it would be great if Mr. could go and see it, I thank Mr. here for all the soldiers and people." Zhang Jiao clenched his fists and said respectfully.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a matter of duty, you can't always live in your place and eat your food for nothing, then no one in the world can laugh at me Xu Ziqian is too lazy to do it!" Xu Shuo laughed.

The three of them all laughed when they heard this, and for a while there was laughter in the study.

"Then according to Mr. 's words, let the people cultivate the grain first, and the soldiers will practice more and more, waiting for the opportunity!" Zhang Jiaodao.

Xu Shuo waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time in this matter, I've been out for a while, I don't know what happened to my insiders at home, I want to ask the second general here." ”

Zhang Bao heard that Xu Shuo had something to tell him, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said respectfully, "Sir, when do you say that it doesn't matter, I will go all out to help Mr. do it!" ”

Xu Shuo was a little embarrassed to see Zhang Bao so excited, and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, it's just to trouble the second general to go to Luoyang, first, you can find out what the chaos is like in the imperial court, and second, I hope that the second general can bring the people in the next place by the way, after all, I haven't seen her for a few months, I miss it very much, put her alone in Luoyang to let me think about her safety, and bring it to me so that I can rest assured to deal with various things and no longer be distracted, you go into the city and go east, pass through a few small cities and inquire a little to know where the people are in the lower Nei, Show her this and she'll go with you!" After speaking, Xu Shuo gave Zhang Bao the personal peace charm that Xiu'er asked him for in the temple, which was Xiu'er's peace charm after asking the Taoist in the temple three times before giving Xiu'er, when Xu Shuo went out, Xiu'er told Xu Shuo to hang it on his body and not take it off, and Xu Shuo agreed that Xiu'er let Xu Shuo go out.

Zhang Bao took the peace charm given by Xu Shuo, promised Xu Shuo, and said that he would get up and go to Luoyang to pick up Xiu'er and inquire by the way.

"Then if there is nothing to do, I will go out first, can the three generals and others take Shuo to the barracks to see the Yellow Turban soldiers?" Xu Shuo got up and said.

"The third brother will take Mr. to take a look, ahem, I'm afraid that my old bones can't accompany Mr., ahem~..."Zhang Jiao coughed.

Zhang Liang said in a respectful tone: "Yes, eldest brother, I will take Mr. there." ”

Xu Shuo saw that Zhang Jiao was coughing again and again, his face was very bad, and he knew that time was running out, so he comforted Zhang Jiao and said, "The general is better to rest, after all, the body is the foundation of victory, if the Yellow Turban people live a good life and can't see the general, how unfortunate is this?" ”

"I know my situation, Mr. doesn't have to persuade me, the third brother shouldn't go to the leading student to take a look."

When Zhang Liang heard this, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please." ”

Xu Shuo didn't want to say anything when he heard this, and sighed for Zhang Jiao in his heart, it is really impossible to do something against the sky, hey, I don't know if it is good or bad to help the yellow scarf, let's take a step at a time, at least for the people, even if it is not a good reputation, I Xu Shuo has a clear conscience, and I don't have to care about what others say.

Then he turned around and walked with Zhang Liang towards the barracks outside the village, along the way many children saw Zhang Liang and called Zhang Liang hug, and the people of the Yellow Turban nearby praised the three brothers Zhang Jiao as the saviors of their poor people given by God, so that Xu Shuo sighed but it was not easy to refute, at least among the people of the Yellow Turbans, there was no such thing as cannibalism under the management of the imperial court, and the people were all happy.

"Heaven has sent three brothers to plan the future for my people."

"It's good to overthrow the tyrannical court, and return my descendants to a clear one."

"If there were no three brothers, the people of the world would have no home."

"Where does the food come from in the mouth, burn incense and pray for the peace of the world."

This ballad has been circulated among the Yellow Turban people for a long time, and even the children who have just learned to speak can sing it, which shows the kindness of the three Zhang Jiao brothers in the eyes of the Yellow Turban people.
