In July, with the end of the continuous rain, the text of the Changshan Huimeng and the document forged by Cao Cao about the three princes began to spread in the Central Plains, Luoyang, and even Xu Yang, and what followed was a large-scale series and discussion.

Among them, Luoyang received two letters almost at the same time. Then, all the officials and ministers in the Luoyang Dynasty became more and more trembling while secretly rejoicing...... is happy, naturally because someone finally blatantly broke hands with Dong Zhuo, and the reason why he was trembling was because he was afraid that Dong Zhuo's violent reaction would affect him.

For example, just a few days ago, an incident occurred that directly contributed to Yuan Shu's escape...... In other words, Dong Zhuo promoted himself again at that time, and he became Xiangguo!

Then, on the second day of his promotion, the servant Shi Chao Longzong went down to the court to see him and said that he had not unswords, and then he was immediately ordered by Dong Zhuo to be beaten to death...... The reason is that the other party did not respect him, Dong Zhongying, Xiangguo's 'noble' identity.

Many people can't understand why Dong Zhuo was so brutal once he was in power?

The answer is actually quite simple and reasonable.

First of all, Dong Zhuo is not brutal for the sake of brutality, no one is born a pervert, he is actually using this way of transcending common sense to test his power, he wants to see where the edge of his power is.

In fact, a normal person will have a similar mentality after suddenly gaining power, but most people will quickly touch the edge of their new power, learn a lesson, and then quickly retract it. Moreover, the new power that most people have acquired does not have the power to determine life and death.

But Dong Zhuo is different, the power that Dong Xiangguo obtained in those three days is the highest level of power in this empire, and it can even be said to be the highest level of power on this planet at this moment!

He probed it and found that it could; I tried it again, and I found that it was okay; If you continue to try, you still have no scruples, and you can only plunge headlong into the abyss of this right.

Secondly, what is even more terrifying is that Dong Zhuo was a border county martial artist before...... Although it is true that the center discriminated against the border county martial arts before, but to be honest, it is also true that the martial arts do not take human life seriously, right? The characteristics of their professions are there, don't talk about Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Xun is doing things in the barracks, is it killing people when he is preparing to stand up? Later, Cao Cao fought for half his life, did he also want to slaughter the city and kill prisoners?

Perennial war and military career can really destroy human nature!

And the addition of two by two has caused Dong Zhuo's current style of doing things...... It's not good, kill people! Suspect that someone has two hearts and kills! Someone did something wrong, kill someone!

There is no bottom line when you kill.

At the same time, it is the center of the empire, the political core; However, for scholars and nobles, killing is the last resort; Indiscriminate killing can't deter people's hearts, it can only make people resentful!

"Feng Xian will go in person, and give me the cane to kill Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong, who are eating inside and out, on Tonghuo Street!"

On this day, in the Taiwei Mansion, which had been changed to Xiangguo's Mansion, Dong Xiangguo really ordered to kill again.

Of course, the person killed this time was actually expected by everyone...... Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong were the first batch of people to defect to Dong Zhuo, and they also offered advice to Dong Zhuo and persuaded Dong Zhongying to take the initiative to reconcile with people from all walks of life.

However, the attitude of reconciliation on that day gave the people of Hebei and Kanto a chance to breathe today, and the famous weapons used for reconciliation became the foundation for those people to gather soldiers and horses. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Zhou and Wu really eat inside and out, or if they are born naïve, they deserve to be killed at this time.

Of course, there must be more than that, when Lu Bu dragged Zhou and Wu down, everyone in Xiangguo's mansion still held their breath, waiting for Dong Xiangguo to continue to give instructions......

Specifically, it looks like this:

Cao Cao came up with a document of the Three Princes, saying that the legend of the Three Princes called for Dong, so what should the Three Princes do?

Gongsun Xun directly slapped the table and said to beg Dong, and directly lit the knife, so how should I deal with it?

But what is interesting is that after Dong Zhuo killed Zhou and Wu, he sat on the special captain's chair in Xiangguo's Mansion and was silent for a long time without saying a word.

"Father-in-law?" As a son-in-law, Li Ru, who has now become a doctor of economics as he wished, has no choice but to step forward. "What should we do now?"

"What do you think?" Dong Zhuo drooped his eyelids and asked rhetorically.

"Do you want to send troops to quell the rebellion?" Li Ru said nonsense, because he knew that there was no way to send troops at this time.

"How flat?" Dong Zhuo really sneered. "Cao Mengde, a bastard boy, made a few fake books, found a few rich people and raised a few thousand strong men, it is easy to send troops to defeat him, but what is the use? The Kwantung princes who are really against me haven't jumped out yet! As for Gongsun Xun, he is frank and unrestrained, but his people are far away in Changshan, do you want me to leave this wave of Kanto people in front of me alone, and directly sell my back to this group of people in Kanto to go to Hebei on an expedition? ! ”

"What my father-in-law said is very true." Li Ru nodded hurriedly. "So the first thing to do now is to ...... In Luoyang. ”

"Not bad." Dong Zhuo also became serious. "I don't know that I suddenly took control of the government, and many people in the world are not convinced? But for now, it is not on the outside, but on the inside! If the DPRK is stable, has both Yongliang and holds the Son of Heaven, the general trend is still in my ......"

"I don't know how to make the DPRK and China stable?" Li Ru finally got to the point.

Dong Zhongying held on to her belt and struggled to stand up, and walked a few steps in the hall before she stopped and said:

"I know what you mean, but Cao Mengde's kid's Sangong letter is obviously a forgery. Others don't say that Taifu has no intention of being my enemy in Luozhong, and when it comes to patriarchy, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are not the same as them, so it can't be said that Yuan Shao is jumping in Hanoi, and Yuan Shu fled to Nanyang, so he blames Taifu without authorization. ”

"That'...... This matter will not be pursued? Li Ru took a step forward and asked.

"How is that possible?" Dong Xiangguo held his stomach and turned around. "Since those boys dare to use the three princes as valves, how can I not? In the past, when Situ Ding Palace presided over the abolition of the establishment, relying on his high learning, he ridiculed me in the edict, if it wasn't for your reminder, I wouldn't know now...... Wouldn't such a villain just stand up? Let Li Dao go, give me a canonical punishment on Tongtuo Street! ”

Li Ru wanted to speak and stopped, but finally put the matter away: "Then dare to ask your lord, how should Gongsun Xun respond?" ”

"I'm embarrassed too!" Dong Zhuo suddenly got up, retreated from many subordinates in the hall, and then paced. "If you talk about the military, Gongsun Xun is thousands of miles apart, and he shouldn't have said much, but Gongsun Wenqi has always been strong and outstanding, but he has to take precautions in advance; As for personnel, the reason why I can be exclusive to Luozhong is because of the word military power, force everywhere, and grace, but now that Gongsun Xun has raised troops, he must be careful that his old department is shaken...... Wenyou, what do you say? ”

Li Ru shook his head: "Military matters, please be arbitrary, and I have nothing to say about personnel matters...... I can only persuade adults to be as graceful as possible. ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help sneering: "Why can't I be graceful? But I listened to the words of Zhou and Wu, and the graceful scholars only ended up fighting each other...... Of course, a scholar is a scholar, a warrior is a warrior, I didn't expect a scholar to be so cold, and I can understand the mind of a warrior, and I also ask myself to have some control power, but the soldiers and horses are my foundation, and I can't afford to lose, so I have to be extra careful. ”

"Actually, my father-in-law." Li Ru bowed his head helplessly. "I really have a plan...... In this case, why not divide the momentum of Lu, Xu, and Zhang, so that they can't cause trouble, and then add officials to the knighthood, each with a reward, in order to reassure people's hearts? ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned suddenly, but without thinking, he immediately asked: "This strategy is excellent, but how to divide the momentum of the three people?" ”

"Lu Fengxian is extremely powerful, and the adults can use it to call in Luoyang; General Xu Rong is talented, and the danger of Luoyang's eight passes is the most sparse in the southeast, so why not let him go to the southeast to be a guard? Zhang Liao was still young, so he was just in time to go to Hedong with General Niu Fu to deal with the Baibo bandits...... In this way, not only can the three of them divide the power, they can't cause chaos, and they can also make the best use of each other. More importantly, all three of them were able to avoid the direction due north of Luoyang and avoid any contact with General Wei in the future. Li Ru came as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he had been prepared.

"Good strategy, that's exactly how it should be!" Dong Zhuo couldn't help frowning. "I immediately ordered the reward to be sent to these three men...... But Wenyou, you are really, such a good strategy, why didn't you say it at the beginning?! ”

Li Ru smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from my lord, this strategy is not from me, but from our Xiangguo Mansion soldier Cao Peng Jia Wenhe." ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo suddenly woke up. "Is Jia Wenhe actually in my Xiangguo Mansion?"

"It's nature." Li Ru smiled more and more bitterly. "He was originally Cao Peng, a soldier of the Taiwei Mansion, and after the rebellion in Guanzhong, he only added a thousand stones, but he was still his soldier Cao Peng, and the Lord was first appointed as the Tai Lieutenant, and then he was appointed as the Prime Minister, and he has always been your subordinate."

"Oops, it's my fault." Anyway, there was no one else around, so Dong Zhuo simply admitted his mistake. "Jia Wenhe is a native of our Xizhou Township, and he is also proficient in civil and military affairs, I only care about promoting those scholars and rewarding his subordinates, but I actually forgot that he is a person who is both civil and military...... That's good, you go and tell him that this matter will be handled by him, and after it is done, I will take this credit and arrange a concurrent position for him with two thousand stones, and if there is a good plan in the future, let him just say it! ”

Li Ru immediately responded, and then withdrew from the hall...... However, it was only at this time that he remembered that he had been hesitant about Jia Wenhe for several months and had nothing to say, and suddenly offered a proposal at this time, which inevitably made people suspicious, so he did not offer this strategy at the first time.

However, after thinking about it again, now in this Luozhong, the scholars are not credible, the martial artists are not wise, if Jia Xu, who is also from Liangzhou, can't be trusted, what else can anyone believe?

And besides, this strategy is indeed an excellent way to deal with it, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Ru didn't bother to think about it, so he went straight to Jia Xu to discuss the rewards of Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and Zhang Liao.

Time flies, and by the middle of July, the situation has become more and more obvious, in addition to Gongsun Xun's clear chariot and horse alliance, the princes of the Central Plains generation, who have not been able to catch up with the Changshan alliance, have also lost their sincerity to Yuan Shao, expressing their recognition of the establishment of another alliance south of the Yellow River to discuss Dong.

Considering the January deadline set by Gongsun Xun and the location of the alliance in Changshan, it is almost conceivable that he really initiated the alliance against Hebei, and in this case, the two huge forces against Dong are likely to form two temporary 'alliances' and 'opposite' camps according to the region.

However, when the text and invitation reached Xuzhou, someone came out again.

That's right, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian Tao Gongzu has always been unwilling to live behind others, this old man who can actually only stabilize the territory of the two counties in the state does not want to respond to Gongsun Xun, who initiated the volunteers, nor does he want to respond to Yuan Shao, who is closer to him, but he sees that everyone in the world has to ask for Dong accordingly, and he can't stand up if he doesn't participate...... So, the old man was very creative and formed an alliance by himself!

Of course, Tao Qian knew that his prestige was insufficient, so he respected Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei, who were far away in Luoyang, as the general of the chariot cavalry, and won over several counties in Yangzhou...... In his words, there is Gongsun Xun in Hebei, Yuan Benchu in Kanto, and Xu Yang must also have his own alliance!

What's even more interesting is that this alliance has not yet received any response, that is, just after sending documents to the princes of Xu Yang, Tao Qian was actually the first to send troops to Luoyang!

You must know that after months of lewd rain, there are many rivers in Hebei and the Central Plains at this time, and the road is difficult, but Tao Gongzu is still ready to send troops immediately.

From this point of view, Gongsun Xun and Yuan Shao should really find a rope to hang themselves!

So who is the general who sent troops to find the 'alliance leader' Zhu Jun?

The answer is that Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who came back from recruiting troops before and happened to stop at Xiapi, volunteered to go without avoiding hardships and dangers, and took the initiative to seek it, and Tao Qian was overjoyed and immediately played him as a cavalry captain.

So, how many soldiers and horses did Liu Bei lead?

The answer is three thousand Danyang recruitment...... It was the 3,000 soldiers that Liu Bei himself was ordered to recruit before, and these 3,000 people, who were supplied with logistics by Xuzhou, set off directly to Luoyang.

Before leaving, Guangling Chen Deng, Donghai Mizhu, Pengcheng Zhang Zhao felt his loyalty and bravery, and came to send them one after another. Even Guangling guarded Zhang Chao too much, because he was Zhang Miao's younger brother, so he was ready to respond to Cao Cao at the beginning, but he still strengthened Liu Xuande's ambition and sent the county official Lu Dai to lead fifty armorers to follow.

However, the first person to send troops was not Liu Bei, because just the day before, Changsha Taishou and Wucheng Hou Sun Jian, who were far away in Jingnan, directly sent troops after receiving a letter from a ship and horse connected and delivered quickly. Regardless of the thousands of miles, his people actually left Changsha alone, led thousands of troops, poured out, and went all the way to the north. And many heroes in Jingnan have followers, and there are even local wealthy families like Wuling Huanggai who have raised filial piety and honesty, donating to each other!

Dong Zhuo abolished the establishment and killed the queen mother, and the country was shaken instantly, but at this time, how could it be that big people like Gongsun Xun and Yuan Shao wanted to do something? How can the world be the stage for the two of them and Dong Zhuo?

Cao Mengde abandoned the official and left, left his wife, went out of Luo alone, was caught by a pavilion chief along the way, and was almost killed by the county officials as a thief, and also mistakenly killed the family of Lu Bohao, but as soon as he arrived in Chenliu, he threw down all kinds of thoughts, immediately corrected the book alliance, and raised the army!

Liu Xuande is alone, he has never fallen into his ambition for a day, once he gets the opportunity, he will not avoid the risk, and he still wants to go straight to Luoyang!

Sun Wentai was far away in Jingnan, and when he heard that something had happened in Luoyang, he actually threw down the foundation of Changsha and crossed the Yangtze River in order to seek meritorious deeds!

In all fairness, in the face of great changes, the latter three 'little people' are more heart-wrenching than some of the big ones.

"That's right, I called everyone here because I saw that the twenty-second day was coming, and we couldn't delay it any longer! Gentlemen, you say that this Dong Zhuo is in Luoyang, and he has passed the decree that the other two are rebellious; Yuan Shao was in Hanoi, but he took the seal of the Bohai Taishou and asked the soldiers and horses of the Bohai Sea to go to Hanoi to find him; Gongsun Xun is in Changshan, which is in my Jizhou, and he also called on the righteous people of Hebei to go to him to meet the alliance...... These three people, who should I help? ”

The person who spoke was a real big man, who was the former imperial historian Zhongcheng, now Jizhou Mu Hanfu, and the location was above the hall of Yecheng Guansi, and the object of his inquiry was many subordinate officials in Jizhou Prefecture.

"Ming Gong's words are ridiculous!" As soon as the words fell, there was already an understanding person next to him who couldn't bear it. "Duke Ming is an important minister of the country, guarding Jizhou, how can he say anything to help Yuan, Dong, and Gongsun?! You should raise troops to help the country! And besides, Dong Zhuo's kind of person, who killed the Queen Mother yesterday and the Minister today, can this kind of person help? ”

Han Fu looked fixedly, but it was Liu Zihui who was engaged in his own governance, and he couldn't help but show shame: "Yes, what Zihui said is very true, I am confused, and I shouldn't be cowardly...... It's just that he is raising troops for the country, who should he talk to? Gongsun Wenqi won a hundred battles, Yuan Benchu was the fourth and third dukes, if he helped one of them now, wouldn't he want the other to hold a grudge? ”

"What is there to say about that?" Liu Zihui couldn't help sighing. "Ming Gong, the current situation is that General Wei has a lot of virtue in Hebei, if you go to the alliance again, I am afraid that Jizhou will not be protected; And Yuan Benchu has a reputation, but there are no soldiers and horses, we go to help him, but we can use the strength of our Jizhou soldiers and horses to make the first contribution to Dong Zhongzhong! And besides, only by taking advantage of Yuan Benchu's fame can we prevent Gongsun Wenqi from annexing Jizhou County after us. ”

"You mean, General Wei intends to annex Jizhou?" Han Fu couldn't help but panic.

"Isn't that obvious?" Liu Zihui continued to plead. "General Wei is in the north, far away from Luoyang, but close to Jizhou, he will ally the princes, but the deadline is one month, as if he only recognizes the two states of Youji, and if the counties of Jizhou respond to him and let him enter the princes, what name will the Ming Duke take to resist? For today's plan, only by joining forces with Yuan Shao can Jizhou be important in the world. ”

"I understand what Liu Zhizhong means." Han Fu nodded slowly. "That's what it means, only by joining Yuan Benchu's alliance can we achieve great righteousness, so that General Wei will not be able to annex us, and we must try to win over the subordinate counties of Jizhou and let them join the alliance in the south together, so as to prevent them from joining the alliance in the north...... Is that what it means? ”

"That's exactly what it means." Liu Zihui finally smiled.

"Then I should issue a document immediately, first, to inform the world, I want to correspond to this alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and second, to immediately notify the nine counties in the state, and ...... with me"

"It's the Six Counties." Liu Zihui was helpless again. "The seal of the Bohai Taishou was originally at the beginning of Yuan Ben, and Changshan and Zhongshan Gongsun Xun were ordered to hold the festival as governors, and even he had to meet in Changshan...... Posting to these two counties will only anger General Wei! ”

"Yes, Six Counties." Han Fu couldn't help laughing, but looked around again. "Well, where is the frustration? Trouble him to compose...... Didn't come? ”

"Return to Ming Gong." Liu Zihui couldn't help but be helpless. "Frustrated, he sent people away, and the world was full of them, and a friend of his decided to go out of the mountain to help Haojie as a director...... I took my leave yesterday. ”

"Oh." Han Fu bowed his head slowly. "I remember, then Zihui you will write, the recent Wei County will not be issued, I will meet Zhang Taishou later, so it is the Five Counties!"

Liu Zihui nodded yes, and leaned over to write an official document on top of a few cases in the hall, but halfway through writing, suddenly, a messenger came to look for Han Fu outside the door, and Liu Zihui didn't raise his head, just wrote a letter as usual.

However, the messenger came to the front of the hall, saluted respectfully, and said directly: "Han Gong! My family trial public documents are here, and he said that he was going to Changshan Huimeng and asked for a leave of absence! The stakes are very high, and I ask Han Gong not to blame him for this. ”

Han Fu and the subordinate officials in the hall are more or less stagnant.

"That's the four counties." Liu Zihui said directly.

"Not bad." Han Fu, who was sitting at the top, replied. "In this way, there are four counties."
