Dong Zhuo saw that he easily adjusted the vicious fight between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and realized that he could control the world from the emperor's edict. Then he wantonly stabbed Shi, Taishou and Zhou Mu in various places.

At this time, Zhonglang recommended Xu Rong to Dong Zhuo his friends in the same county, and the grandson of Xiangping in Liaodong to Dong Zhuo. Gongsun Du, the word Shengji, was previously the history of Jizhou Thorn.

On the recommendation of Xu Rong, Dong Zhuo appointed Gongsun Du as the Taishou of Liaodong. Then Gongsun Du took the edict of the Son of Heaven to Liaodong to take up his post.

When Gongsun Du first arrived in Liaodong, he executed more than 100 wealthy families in Liaodong County in accordance with the law of the Han Dynasty with the power of thunder, but it was all because these wealthy families smuggled salt and iron to Xianbei when Xun Yu was the Taishou of Liaodong!

Gongsun Du was so decisive that the people of the entire Liaodong County were shocked, and then Gongsun Du's decree was disobeyed by no one in the county.

After the county's internal affairs were harmonious and unified, Gongsun Du led a large army to the east to conquer Goguryi and attack Wuhuan to the west.

acted more and more unscrupulously, and once again Gongsun Du said to his cronies Liu Yi, Yang Yi and others: "Han Zuo will be extinct, and you should be right with Zhu Qing." ”

Later, Liaoxi County and Zhongliao County were separated from Liaodong County, and each county was appointed as a guard.

At that time, the king of Fuyu, Wei Qiutai, was also afraid that Gongsun Du would attack him, and he took the initiative to become a subsidiary of Liaodong.

And Gongsun Du also married the daughter of his clan to Wei Qiutai because his husband was between Goguryeo and Xianbei, which were powerful at that time.

Later, when Gongsun Du wanted to cross the sea to attack Dongnae Prefecture, the Goguryeo king Bogu was afraid of Gongsun Du's prestige, and when Gongsun Du was crusading against the rich bandits, he also sent Dajia Youju and the main bookkeeper to help. After laying down Donglai County, Gongsun Du named it Yingzhou, and set the history of Yingzhou Thorn!

Gongsun Du called himself the Marquis of Liaodong and the Mu of Pingzhou, and established the sacrificial temples of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, the ancestor of Guangwu, to give orders on behalf of the emperor.

In the suburbs, sacrifices are made to heaven and earth, and a ceremony is held to borrow the land to show that agriculture is valued. When he entered and exited, he rode in the emperor's chariot, which was equipped with a head and was guarded by the knights of the Feather Forest.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo sent people with the imperial edict to visit Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Wucheng Hou Sun Jian of Changsha, and Yuan Shu of Nanyang, the later general.

Yuan Shu is Jingzhou Mu and Sun Jian is Nanyang Taishou.

He also sent someone to Liu Biao in Xiangyang with an edict, appointed Liu Biao as the pastor of Jingzhou, and said that Yuan Shu sent eunuchs to steal the edict and proclaimed himself the pastor of Jingzhou, and asked Liu Biao to send troops to attack Yuan Shu!

And Yuan Shu was ordered by the emperor to be the pastor of Jingzhou, and he was overjoyed to raise troops to crusade against Liu Biao, but Sun Jian led his troops to Nanyang and threatened to hand over Nanyang to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was afraid of Sun Jian's bravery, so he summoned a group of civil and military officers to discuss how to act! Yang Hong, his number one strategist, spoke:

"The lord, since the imperial court appointed the lord as the pastor of Jingzhou, the lord must go to Xiangyang to take office, but Sun Jian is the Taishou of Nanyang, then Sun Jian should be an official under the lord's account.

The lord can send an envoy to Sun Jian's camp with an edict and order Sun Jian to send troops to attack Liu Biao.

At the same time, he promised that once Liu Biao was defeated, that is, Sun Jian, the son of heaven, would be the Taishou of Nanyang, and his grandson would be the Taishou of Jiangxia, and Sun Jian would be moved, so Jingzhou would be at his fingertips! ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he ordered Yan Xiang to be the envoy to Sun Jian! And after Sun Jian saw Yan Xiang, he was hesitating, but he reported that Liu Ran led the army to the north!

However, he said that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, the word Jingsheng, and the people of Gaoping in Shanyang, are the relatives of the Han family; Young and good, and seven celebrities and scholars as friends, the time name "Jiangxia Bajun".

These seven people are: Runan Chen Xiang, the word Zhonglin; Fan Pan of the same county, the word Meng Bo; Lu Guo Kong Yu, the character Shiyuan; Bohai Fan Kang, the word Zhongzhen, Shanyang Tanfu, the word Wenyou; Zhang Jian of the same county, Ziyuan Festival; Nanyang Cen Hui, the word filial piety.

Liu Biao was friends with these seven people; At the same time, when governing Jingzhou, there were Yanping people Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and Xiangyang Cai Mao as a supplement.

When Liu Biao saw the edict of the Son of Heaven, he ordered Kuai Yue and Cai Mao to lead 50,000 troops across the river to fight Sun Jian and Yuan Shu.

As soon as Sun Jian sent Yan Xiang away, Kuai Yue led the army to arrive, and at the same time set up a position and took the lead.

Seeing this, Sun Jian hurriedly left the camp and asked, "Why did Xenodu lead his troops to attack my Nanyang?" ”

"Wentai and Ku followed Yuan Shao's house, doing the thing of stealing the edict, Ru Sun Jian is the Changsha Taishou of the edict of the Son of Heaven, as long as Wentai leads the army to leave and return to Changsha, he will not be stopped!

In this battle, I only want to attack the thief Yuan Shu! ”

Sun Jian was furious when he heard this, and Kuai Yue couldn't help but say that the thief's hat must be buckled on it. didn't talk to him, so he sent his troops to kill Huang Gai and Ma Chaoyue!

Kuai Yue ordered Cai Mao to meet the enemy, and Cai Mao came to meet him with a knife. Fighting to the count, Huang Gai whipped the turtle, and was in the heart of the goggles. Cai Mao turned back to the horse and left, and Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to kill the border.

But when he saw the golden drums behind the two mountains, Liu Biao personally led the army. Sun Jian immediately gave a salute and said: "Why did Jingsheng believe in Dong Zhuo's fight and attack Yu Mou? ”

Liu Biao was furious and said, "If I don't believe Dong Zhuo, do you want to give up this Jingzhou to Yuan Shu?" ”

Sun Jian also knew that it was impossible to get Liu Biao to give up Jingzhou, and now Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and himself had fallen into Dong Zhuo's scheme.

But even if all three knew it was a ploy, no one was willing to withdraw.

Yuan Shu could obtain the entire Jingzhou with an edict from the Son of Heaven; Liu Biao, on the other hand, needed to lead an army to defend his rule in Jingzhou; For Sun Jian himself, if he defeats Liu Biao, he can get the land of Nanyang and Jiangxia County.

In desperation, Sun Jian wanted to lead an army to attack Liu Biao. The two militaries wanted to exchange troops, but Liu Biao retreated. Sun Jian rushed to the horse, and the ambush soldiers behind the two mountains rose together, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue rushed behind him, trapping Sun Jian in the heart.

However, it was said that Sun Jian was surrounded by Liu Biao, and he was saved by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, who were killed and freed, and most of his troops were lost, and he took the road to lead the troops back to Jiangdong. Since then, Sun Jian and Liu Biao have a grudge.

After Liu Biao defeated Sun Jian for a while, he defended according to Xinye, and at the same time appointed Zhang Xian, a native of Nanyang, as the Taishou of Changsha, which completely deprived Sun Jian of his foundation.

And Sun Jian and Yuan Shao were stationed in Nanyang together, and all the armaments, grain and grass were provided by Yuan Shu!

As soon as Sun Jian and Liu Biao finished the battle, Yuan Shu learned that Yuan Shao had captured Jizhou, so he sent an envoy to Jizhou to ask for a thousand horses.

When Yuan Shao heard that Yuan Shu was asking for a war horse by virtue of his son-in-law, he was furious and scolded the messenger back, so Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu became enemies!

Let's say that Dong Zhuo saw that several edicts had already made contributions, so he became more and more yearning for the power of the Son of Heaven, and then sent someone to send the edict to the Western Regions and sent it to Liu Bei!

At this time, Liu Bei had already prepared an army of 100,000 and had just entered the plateau and was training his soldiers. Liu Bei had to report that the messenger of the Son of Heaven had come to issue the edict.

Hearing that it was the messenger of the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes to greet the messenger of the Son of Heaven, but the content of the edict made Liu Bei cry and laugh!

It turned out that Dong Zhuo asked for worship under the pretense of the mouth of the Son of Heaven, and the edict mentioned that Liu Bei had agreed with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to pay 20 million yuan to the Son of Heaven every year.

And now that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has died, Dong Zhuo asked for a 20 million-year-old tribute to Emperor Han Xian!

After Liu Bei discussed with Xun You and Chen Gong, he replied to the envoy.

"I also asked the angel to reply to the Son of Heaven, it is Liu Bei's fault that he failed to pay tribute every year, and he is willing to pay tribute in the past few years.

It's just that there are a lot of tributes in the past five or six years, and the distance is far away, and there are many thieves, so it is necessary to lead an army of 50,000 to escort these tributes!

In addition, Bei also planned to offer some grain and grass to the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven could recruit troops and horses to resist foreign enemies. ”

The envoy was shocked when he heard this, and asked Liu Bei to lead an army of 50,000 into Luoyang, which was tantamount to luring a tiger into the house, how could the Luoyang area resist Liu Bei!

But the messenger had no way to refute what Liu Bei said, and when he was hesitating, Liu Bei spoke again.

"If the Son of Heaven feels embarrassed, he can also ask the Son of Heaven to send 50,000 troops to the Western Regions to escort hundreds of millions of tributes. Beiyi will have everything ready! ”

When the envoy heard this again, he was even more helpless. After that, the envoy left Liu Bei's camp in disgrace!

When the envoy returned to Luo *** and said Liu Bei's words, Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard it, and scolded Liu Bei for being a trustworthy villain.

When Li Ru on the side heard this, he opened his mouth again and asked the envoy: "What you just said, Liu Bei is not in the Western Regions, but training troops on the southwest plateau of Liangzhou!" ”

"That's true!"

"Lord, congratulations, Liu Bei is training on the plateau, he must want to conquer the plateau, but Liu Bei will not be able to advance east in such a short period of time.

The lord has enough time to fight against the princes of Shandong, and now the lord has begun to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and then the lord needs to use the Son of Heaven to continue to expand his territory!

When the lord has absolute strength, he can fight with Liu Bei, and as for Liu Bei's old tribute, he can take it himself when he is strong! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he nodded, and then discussed with Li Ru which prince to use conspiracy and tricks!
