The riot that occurred in Chang'an City at the end of July of the fifth year of Jian'an was finally characterized as a military coup, and the mastermind was the three closest relatives around Xiao Tianzi, and the target of the plot was Gongsun Xun, the Wei general who had absolute ruling power.

The general process of the matter was written into the official document, and it was sent to Kyushu, Hebei Province with the authority that could be read by the officials of the seven grades, and at the same time, a notice of peace was also posted in Chang'an City to appease the people a little...... The content of the announcement is reasonable and irrefutable.

After all, the whole world knows that these three people have enough motives, and the movement that Dong Cheng made that day was too big, the blood stains on Beique Street were washed for four or five days and still couldn't be washed, and finally it was barely restored to its old appearance by a rain, which of the people in Chang'an City didn't know which one didn't know?

Not to mention, in today's popularization of paper, literate officials are writing more and more diaries, and letters are becoming more and more frequent, and this incident is the largest sudden bloodshed in Chang'an City in five or six years, and many officials in Chang'an City have mentioned this matter in their diaries or letters sent to close friends and family members...... Putting aside the question about the leader, the choice between Wang Yun and Wang Bin, and the confrontation and compromise between the minister and General Wei, which are bound to cause controversy because of their positions, the vast majority of people have identified the responsibility on Dong Cheng.

There's no way, who let this guy just be a leader of the Xiliang soldiers? And it was defeated.

However, the matter is not destined to end here, and there will always be no less repercussions.

At the end of July and the beginning of August, a large number of personnel appointments and adjustments were successively released in Chang'an City:

Obviously, due to the demand for 'cutting down Shu', Zhao Qian, a Zhongsan doctor from Chengdu County, Yizhou, ascended to the position of the third duke, made up for the vacant Situ after Huangfu Song left office, and presided over the official persuasion of Shu officials...... Many people are envious of this, because since the discussion of Dong, the political situation in Chang'an is exceptionally stable, and the three princes are no longer the signboard officials who will leave their posts when they encounter an earthquake, but there are many ministers in Chang'an City who are eager to enter the public family.

After all, Han Ting at this time seems to be just that.

In addition, Liu Dan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, Gai Shun, and Fu Gan, were also obviously conscripted into the army because of their background, and participated in the preparation of the strategy of 'cutting down Shu'.

This is not counting, General Wei Gongsun Xun took the Son of Heaven to bundle his hair and study, and he was indispensable to the people who were close to him, and on the one hand, he appointed Liu Yu, Yang Biao, and Shisun Rui as the emperor's teachers, and on the other hand, he forcibly supplemented the Son of Heaven with four servants, squires, but all of them were from Hebei, and two were simply righteous and resigned...... As for the other two, one is called Guan Jing and the other is called Wang Men.

At the same time, because of the outstanding performance of the Wei Gongsun Chan in the Dong Cheng Rebellion, he was able to add the general, the commander-in-chief of the Chang'an garrison, the public security affairs, and the chronicle of the Central Committee of the DPRK.

In the end, Gongsun Xun actually issued a manual of 'learning discipline' to the Son of Heaven in the name of Liu Yu and other three emperors, requiring the Son of Heaven not to meet with foreign ministers without authorization, not to ask for documents other than scriptures without authorization, and not to send eunuchs and attendants in and out of Weiyang Palace without authorization.

How so?

These personnel arrangements, and the study of discipline booklets, people who don't know naturally don't understand, and people who don't know naturally don't know, but in the eyes of the real power, General Wei's posture of cleaning Chang'an, or cleaning the emerging forces on the side of the Son of Heaven, is too direct.

Of course, Dong Cheng can be regarded as letting General Wei catch the handle, and it is not good to say anything so far...... In fact, at this time, there were other rumors among the ministers of Chang'an, saying that since ancient times, the young clan was mostly used when the ministers abolished the legislature, but in fact, it was not because the Son of Heaven was young and easy to control, but that since the Son of Heaven was young, he could not help but act naïve, impatient, and easy to show flaws, and then be countered.

In all fairness, this is actually very reasonable, but at this time, it inevitably means to shirk responsibility, especially at this time, the life of the Son of Heaven has been difficult to the extreme.

Think about it, regardless of any learning discipline, just from the perspective of human ethics, this young son of heaven was born without a mother, and when he was young, he lost his father, grandmother, mother, and brother, leaving only an uncle and two cousins to be considered close relatives. And now, he finally grew up to the age of fifteen or sixteen, and became married with two more in-laws, but in a blink of an eye, his uncle died together with the two father-in-law and the whole family of the two father-in-law who had just been recognized, and even the only two cousins insisted on leaving, unwilling to stay in Chang'an.

The father, mother, and wife are all mourned, and only two relatives have abandoned him, and the palace is like a prison, and the so-called lonely family is not a vain word.

This kind of thing, spread on an ordinary teenager, may have collapsed a long time ago, and this young man was able to send a eunuch to rescue him in time on the day of the incident (although it failed), and then sent away his two cousins in pain, and then kept a certain silence in the subsequent purge, and can only say that it is really as everyone says, his person is indeed smart and wise, and it is really extraordinary.

In fact, in the days after the incident, in the face of Gongsun Xun's repeated orders in the air, the ministers had repeatedly asked General Wei to enter the Weiyang Palace to meet the Son of Heaven and inspect Shangshutai once, and it was best to preside over a formal court meeting to make a political statement of reconciliation in order to justify the name and stabilize the people's hearts. But these requests were all rejected by Gongsun Xun on the grounds that 'this is the case, I can't bear to see the Son of Heaven'...... This excuse, in a sense, is not actually lying.

Because from the perspective of Gongsun Xun's non-political animal, this young son of heaven, in addition to the fact that he is the son of the Han family and the son of Emperor Ling, is actually just a poor person, he really can't bear to see it!

It's just that there are too many poor people in the world, and he is not one behind, but he is the only one in the Han family, and Gongsun Xun will not be unable to do it because of this.

It can only be said that when you were born in the decline of this imperial family, what else do you want?

But no matter what, after the busy autumn harvest, on August 15, after cleaning up the Chang'an court and replacing Gongsun Zhan to lead the defense of the city, Gongsun Xun finally continued his 'plan to cut down Shu' - on this day, his people politely refused the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and also politely refused to send the minister, and only led more than 10,000 elites led by Bai Ma Yi to set off with Xu Rongbu, and left Chang'an to the west, preparing to move to Chencang, waiting for Liu Yan to surrender.

On the twenty-third day of August, Chang'an City received definite news that General Wei himself led about 10,000 elites from Baima Yicong, Zhao Yunbu, and Xu Rongbu, together with military advisors Jia Xu and Xi Zhong, to officially settle in Chencang, an important town in the westernmost part of Guanzhong; And Wang Xiu and Wang Shuzhi, who were in charge of logistics, also took Zhang Ji as the deputy of the Yicongwen Protector Army, and established a logistics base camp in the old place of Yiwu; In addition, about 3,000 horsemen from the partial general Zhang Liao under General Wei directly settled in Liangzhou, Hanyang County, and governed Ji City!

Long before this, Pang De, the Yicongwu Protector, Yang Qiu, the deputy general of Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao, the eldest son of Ma Teng, had already settled in Hanyang one after another, and negotiated with Han Ma and Liangzhou Qunhao for Gongsun Xun.

It was on this day that Shang Shutai received some other information from Yongzhou Mu Zhong Xuan, for example, the Zhenxi general led the Zhou Mu Gong Sun Yue to lead 10,000 Bingzhou troops from east to west, and Ningshuo general Zhang Sheng led 10,000 Shuofang troops from north to south, all of which had crossed the Yellow River and arrived at the upper county of Shaanzhou north of Sanfu and east of Liangzhou, and joined forces...... Shaanzhou Mu Guo Yi asked the wealthy Sanfu and Hedong to send grain to help maintain logistics.

How so?

On this day, everyone finally determined two things - first, General Wei did not know whether he wanted to go west this time, but the intention of annexing Xiliang was actually very resolute, and he was even fully prepared for a full-scale war; Second, General Wei is already three hundred miles away from Chang'an City, and it is conceivable that his people will not come back for a long time!

In other words, some people can finally take a long breath and relax.

However, as the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are worried, and the general Wei who is like a mourning star came to Chencang from Chang'an-the prince of the Chang'an clan and the Son of Heaven will probably be excited by his departure, but the two of Liangzhou Ma Han became frightened and uneasy because this general Wei suddenly changed his previous good words and was relatively directly at his door.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and before Ma Teng and Han Sui could make up their minds, or even before they could find out the intentions of those small army leaders in Liangzhou, it seemed that something had happened in Liangzhou first!

The accident was not the traditional concept of the eastern counties of Xiliang, but the four counties in the western part of Liangzhou, the so-called Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Juyan subject country is also!

The officials of the four counties jointly sent an envoy, and for some reason, they suddenly appeared in Chencang, and then asked General Wei Gongsun Xun in public, and reported in detail to General Wei the chaos in the west of Liangzhou in public, explaining the reality that the countries of the Western Regions were actually out of control after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, as well as the military harassment of the Western Four Counties by Xianbei in the west, and pointed out that the current Liangzhou Thorn History Department is located in Ji County, Hanyang County, which is close to Sanfu, which is useless for the West Four Counties.

Therefore, they asked General Wei to divide Liangzhou into two according to the policy of dividing the states a few years ago, and combine the four counties in the west plus the Tianshan region in the east of the Western Regions Protectorate, which is still under the control of the Han family, into one state.

At the same time, they also asked General Wei to send capable soldiers and horses to sweep the area west of the Tianshan Mountains, the capital of the Western Regions, which had rebelled from the Han Dynasty after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, to repel the harassment of Xianbei in the west, so as to restore the right to supervise the countries of the Western Regions and make the silk trade routes complete.

How so? As the person in power, General Wei very much recognized and appreciated the political consciousness of the officials of the four western counties.

Therefore, his people immediately issued an order to set up Cheshi County in the Tianshan region, and increased the rank of Shuji Lieutenant who was originally established in the territory of Cheshi to Pingxi General, specializing in supervising the countries of the Western Regions and maintaining local law and order, and Cheshi County will be combined with the four western counties of Liangzhou, plus the western essence of Wuwei County, into a new state, which is Zangzhou!

Moreover, General Wei is by no means a person of empty words, in order to make Zangzhou and the Western Regions really settle down, he also said on the spot that he will promote the former Huya general to lead Jincheng Taishou Han Sui to be the general of Pingxi to lead Zangzhou Mu, plus the protection of the Western Regions, immediately move the town of Tianshan, and send troops to Pingxi!

I don't know what's going on, although it was the envoy of the four counties of the West who met in Chencang, although General Wei specifically refused the scepter of the Son of Heaven on this trip, General Wei still took out the legal holy decree with the seal of the Son of Heaven, the seal of General Wei, and the Shangshutai version and a full set of seals and ribbons of General Pingxi, Zang Zhoumu, and the Western Regions Protector in the afternoon of the same day.

Three large seals, each of which can be turned over, can clearly see the finely carved 'Han' character Yin.

After waiting for three days, at the same time that Zhao Yun, the cavalry captain, led 3,000 cavalry to cross the pass and enter Wudu County, Han Pingxi's son-in-law Pang De Pang Lingming personally set off from Ji County and led more than 100 people to Jincheng to see his father-in-law with a seal ribbon!

When the news came, Han Sui was dumbfounded, he didn't dare to rebel, he didn't dare to refuse, he didn't want to refuse, and he was unwilling to obey after all, but Gongsun Xun had already begun to urge his life...... But he thought about it for a long time, but he only thought of one way, that is, to summon the heroes of the six counties to Yuzhong for a while, discuss the overall situation, and at the same time let his son-in-law Pang De wait in Yuzhong.

Unexpectedly, after General Wei Gongsun Xun heard the news, he actually sent a public congratulatory letter in Chencang, expressing his approval of this.

However, he also clearly pointed out in the letter that Han Sui made a technical mistake, that is, the Liangjiazi of the six counties of the Han family, which was established by martial arts, was not the six eastern counties of Liangzhou that are now in the hands of Han and Ma, but now belong to Shangjun and Xihe in Shaanzhou, plus Longxi, Anding, and Beidi in Liangzhou, plus Hanyang (formerly known as Tianshui County) in the hands of the imperial court.

Therefore, this meeting must have the participation of heroes from Hanyang, Shangjun and Hexi, and after this meeting, the good family of the six counties should be based on the old system of the imperial court, and the skilled ones with bows and horses should be Yulinlang...... However, before that, I had to go to Chen Cang and follow him to 'cut down Shu'!

And along with this message, the envoys of Xihe and Shangjun, as well as the 20,000 troops of Gongsun Yue and Zhang Sheng, entered Beidi County of Liangzhou and forced back Ma Teng's department.

Things have come to this point, Han Sui and Ma Teng are really at a dead end, but they are typical warlords, unwilling to surrender easily, and in addition to holding a meeting to see the situation in the hearts of the people in Liangzhou, they really seem to have no way out!

As a result, the heroes of the six counties of Han and Qiang, after leaving reliable people to lead troops to defend their bases, went to Yuzhong one after another.

On the 8th day of the first month of September, Zhao Yun led his troops to Hechi in Wudu, and the head of the Qiang tribe of the Hansui tribe stationed in Hechi knew that they were invincible and left without a fight...... After Zhao Zilong took over the city, he immediately followed the original plan, while Pegasus went behind him, he dispersed to guard Cheng Yinbu as the rear, and without hesitation, he did not stop for half a moment, and directly led his troops to the west, trying to control the key point of the Western Han Dynasty Shuiwudu Road, Chong Qishan, and Hanyang as a whole.

And on this day, Han Sui ushered in the heroes of the six counties in Yuzhong...... With his own Pingxi General Great Seal.

"When I came, my general had a warning." After Pound handed over the three sets of ribbons to his father-in-law, he spoke earnestly. "If my father-in-law wants to hand over this seal to me privately, then I have to pass on two sentences to my father-in-law on behalf of my general......

"What?" Han Sui forcibly pulled himself together and asked rhetorically.

"My general said it." Pang Lingming couldn't help but sigh. "If your father-in-law is too small to be this Pingxi general, then he will let Shang Shutai invent a decree next time and make you the king of Pingxi; And if your father-in-law misses your hometown and doesn't want to go to Tianshan alive, then please wait for you to die, so that your son-in-law can take your body away and bury it in Tianshan with your own hands and come back......"

Han Wenyue held three sets of printed ribbons and stopped talking.

"My general also said it." Pound quickly stopped the other party and continued. "Anyway, fighting back and forth, just a knife, Jiuqu Yellow River Wanli Sha, with your father-in-law, what is there to be afraid of? If you want to fight and peace, whether you want to die or live, please feel free, but he is short of time, he can only be with you for three days, and so on the eleventh day of the first month of September, he will personally lead troops to Liangzhou to see you! ”

To tell the truth, Jia Xu's strategy of slowing down if you are in a hurry, and slowing down is in a hurry, although it is very good...... But now it doesn't seem to make much sense, at least it doesn't mean much to Han Wenyue, because although this Huya general is really reluctant to leave his hometown, and he is really reluctant to leave the life of the emperor who divides the territory, but in the first battle of Weishui, he was really scared by someone!

There are some things that are really not just a knife in the knife for him!

In the face of the aggressiveness of the old man and opponent in the past, this figure known as the Yellow River Jiuqu, a veteran warlord who has been in charge of the three counties of Liangzhou for almost ten years, was in a dilemma, and finally held three sets of seals and burst into tears, feeling embarrassed.

————I'm the dividing line that wants to cry————

"In the autumn of the fifth year of Jian'an, Xun traveled west to cut down Shu, went to Chencang, and took Liu Fan, the eldest son of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, as an envoy to persuade his father to surrender; With Chengdu Zhao Qian as Situ, he recruited the magistrates of various counties in Yizhou; With Zhao Yun, the captain of the cavalry, as the vanguard, he went out of the pass and strangled the martial capital; With the general of Zhenxi, Gongsun Yue, as the rear army...... In a few days, the envoy did not return, the rear army did not arrive, the grain and grass were not complete, there was Wuwei Pang Yu, a subordinate official of the four western counties of Liangzhou, who said that the chaos of the Western Regions, the harassment of Xianbei in the west, and the sorrow of the people of the four counties, his words were sincere, and his heart was crying, and there were many people who wept in the banquet. Xun felt his loyalty, sighed his sincerity, and then swore an oath to cut the case, and changed his soldiers to the west. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
