Chapter 2: The Rise of the Kanto (I)

In early July, more than a month has passed since Dong Zhuo's abolition, and under the continuous rain, the surroundings of Luoyang have fallen into an eerie silence.

Until this day, Hanoi, which is separated from Luoyang by a river, suddenly came with a letter.

"Today, there is a thief who commits it, and he coerces the Son of Heaven and orders the ministers.

In the past, Zhulu was in turmoil, and he rose up; Reckless and rebellious usurpation of the dynasty, Dou Rong was worried. If Gai is loyal to his ministers, it will be difficult for the society to be safe.

Xiliang Dong thief, who claimed to be a loyal and good minister, hypocritically showed people, but once he gained power, he was rebellious, rebellious and unsubordinate, greedy and cruel, and Yu Zhuo was very much:

abolished the establishment without authorization, and killed the queen mother; Cruel to hundreds of officials, poison the people......"

"Don't read any of that!" In Xiuwu City, Hanoi, Yuan Shao, who was lying on the couch because of the recurrence of headaches due to rainy days, suddenly threw down the hot compress towel on his forehead angrily. "What Dong Zhuo did, I know better than his Gongsun Xun! Jump over and find the one that matters. ”

"Yes," the waiter, holding a printed poster, hurriedly looked down, and then opened his mouth to come. "Because of the disappointment of the world, Shunyu pushes his heart, and now there is a big Sima to lead Youzhou Mu, Guangwu Yan passed on Liu Yu, raised the banner of righteousness, and cleared the demons. In addition, Changshan guards Dong Zhao too much, and is willing to sacrifice Beiyue on July 22 to calm people's hearts......"

"Stop!" Guo Tu, who had just gotten up and twisted a new hot towel for Yuan Shao with his own hands, suddenly turned around and shouted to stop the waiter. "Dong Zhao Dong Gongren is not the captain of Changshan, how did he become Changshan Taishou?"

"Do you need to ask?" Xu You, who was sitting on the side, pouted and said. "As far as the situation in the north is concerned, Da Sima is with General Wei and General You, who dares to deny it if he is too guarded or something? And Gongsun Wenqi, if he didn't take the opportunity to clean one or two this time, it would be a little strange, as I expected, except for Changshan, the previously vacant Liaoxi Taishou position, and the counties of Guangyang, I am afraid that he took the opportunity to swallow it...... Read on. ”

The waiter helplessly glanced at Yuan Shao, who had a gloomy face, and then continued to read: "Today, I invite the land of secluded Hebei, connecting the three rivers in the south, the vast distance in the north, the Bohai Sea in the east, and the Taihang in the west. Guangyang red millet, the accumulation of warehousing is poor; Liaoxi White Horse, how far is Kuang's recovery? If the generals of the guard are famous in the world, if they use all kinds of soldiers, horses, grains and grasses to control the enemy, what enemy will not destroy; With this kind of work, why not do it?! ”

As he read it, the waiter himself realized that he had made a mistake...... Yuan Shao only asked him to read the key words, but he didn't let him read out the following paragraph advocating military ability, but the article was really good, and he pouted as he read it, so he quickly stopped.

But it was too late at this time, and in fact, after hearing this paragraph, more than ten people in the room changed color...... At this time, who is still unclear, the actual leader of the alliance is probably Gongsun Xun, not Liu Yu, who was rumored to be under house arrest before.

"It's just a lie!" At this moment, Feng Ji, who had been silent all along, suddenly got up. "Although General Wei controls Youzhou, the five counties led by his father-in-law are too far away, if he sends troops from there, who will support the logistics? Therefore, what he relied on was nothing more than the nine counties he supervised, and among these nine counties, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Daijun, and Shanggu were all recognized as poor and poor counties, and in a hurry, he could support his expedition for thousands of miles, in fact, only what he had earned from the three counties of Guangyang in the past few years, and he had spent a lot of money in western Liao...... That little bit of food can't support many troops to go to Luoyang. ”

"But what if he goes all the way south to Jizhou under the banner of begging Dong, and annexes Hebei by the way?" Xu You said disapprovingly. "Or what if the magistrates of various counties in Jizhou have responded to his letter to participate in the alliance? Youzhou has a strong army, but it is sparsely populated and economically impoverished, which is not enough to support the expedition of the army, which is the truth. But the nine counties of Jizhou, fertile fields for thousands of miles, developed commerce! If people from these places really go to Changshan, then it will not be a question of whether they can go to Luoyang. ”

Feng Ji immediately stopped.

"Don't say anything, I'll talk about it after I finish reading." Yuan Shao held the hot towel that Guo Tu had screwed on his forehead, but his tone was a little cold. "You read it on."

The waiter did not dare to slack off, and immediately continued to read with the inscription:

He also said: The public or the family heirloom Han Jue, or the local association and the relatives, or the order to send it to the minions, or the talisman to the rivers and seas. Emperor Ling's only husband, the world is troubled, it is not worth it, but the Han family has a four-hundred-year foundation, how can you forget your loyalty? Today, with General Wei as the general, holding the festival and the side of the monarch, it is difficult to worship the country in the sky! Looking at the honor of the king of all the public in the world, there is no order to abolish the Han family, and all the lords are rewarded, and they all refer to the mountains and rivers. If he is attached to the poor city, wanders astray, and sits on the first few signs, he will be punished later.

Please see whose world is in today's domain?! ”

"What a try to see who is in the world of today's domain?!" Hearing the last sentence, Yuan Shao suddenly turned over directly from the couch, and threw down the hot compress on his forehead for the second time. "Who wrote this inscription?"

"Hmm......" the waiter hurriedly looked through. Back to the lord, as mentioned above, Wang Xiang of Wen County, Hanoi wrote! ”

"It's really like a big pen, but it can heal the world!" Yuan Shao, who was only wearing a middle coat and standing barefoot in the room, laughed angrily. "I had a headache for half a day, and it was all gone. It's just that why don't I have such a good writing under my command? And this Wang Xiang is obviously from Hanoi, but he followed Gongsun Xun to Changshan! Isn't it going to make the world laugh at me because I don't know talents? ”

Next to him, Feng Ji wanted to speak and stopped, obviously seeing that Yuan Shao was angry, so he took the words back.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao's eyes were sharp, and he noticed it at a glance: "Yuan Tu has something to say?" ”

"Ming Gong!" Feng Ji got up and replied. "As far as I know, there is a famous pen in Hanoi at this time, but when he was under the command of General He, he had many things that were difficult with Ming Gong, so he might not dare to come."

"Are you talking about Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang?" Yuan Shao immediately laughed. "Chen Kongzhang was the chief secretary of the general that day, and he was loyal to his duties, how could I blame him? Since he has also fled to Hanoi, it is all right, so go and prepare a gift at once, and in two days I will go to him in person. But before that, you have to show kindness for me, don't scare this world-famous genius away. ”

Feng Ji immediately nodded and sat back.

"Let's not talk about good articles." Yuan Shao sat back on the couch again, but he said with a smile. "Gentlemen, you are all well-known wise and resourceful people in the world, and this time you took the initiative to come to Hanoi with me, so we don't need to say anything superfluous...... Please teach me, this text should have been issued more than ten years ago, in other words, we have no time to stop it in Changshan, and now the situation, what should I Yuan Ben do? ”

"No matter what." As soon as Yuan Shao's words landed, Xu Youben, who was sitting next to him, was unyielding. "There is only one way to do it today...... But at the beginning, can I ask you three questions first? ”

"Ziyuan, please speak." Yuan Shao stood up with a serious face, and actually bowed to Xu Yu barefoot.

Rao is Xu Ziyuan is self-assured resourcefulness on weekdays, and at this time he had to take the initiative to get up and avoid it, and then waited until Yuan Benchu returned to the couch before he asked each other under the gaze of many strategists in the room:

"First, is Dong Zhuo friend or foe?"

"Friend or foe!" Yuan Shao barely thought about it. "We have been in Hanoi for more than a month, if we really have gains, it is that we have decided that Dong Zhuo is unreasonable! Although he seems to want to reconcile, he is a prestige, without scruples, killing the queen mother, whipping the corpse He Miao, these days it is because of the unsatisfactory political affairs and personnel and killing the minister to establish authority, for this reason, I don't know how many people hang the seal and escape...... How can such a character be a friend? ”

Xu You nodded slowly, but continued to press forward and ask: "Second, is Gongsun Wenqi an enemy or a friend?" ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, but he was only stunned for a moment, and immediately gave a reply: "This person is neither friend nor foe, but also friend and foe!" ”

"That's true!" Xu Yu let out a long sigh. That's what it means...... Now Dong Zhuo is an unreasonable person, no matter how you look at it, we have nothing to say to him. And at this time, Gongsun Xun did not join forces with Dong Zhuo as we were worried about before, to say something unpleasant, we should thank others, otherwise we people can only escape from the mountains and seas. ”

Yuan Shao actually nodded very seriously.

"But on the other hand, when we are all still in a mess, we still need time to identify Dong Zhuo as an unreasonable person, but Gongsun Wenqi has now begun to meet the Hebei righteous people in Changshan, so when did he make up his mind to ask Dong?" Xu Yu asked sharply. "How swift are the people? How decisive?! And whether it is his people who are begging for Dong Gongcheng this time, the one who enters the customs first is the king, or according to what I just said, going south to take advantage of the situation to annex the entire Youji, and follow the light and martial regulations to the north of the river, then what should we do? Originally, such a person, we must be on guard immediately! ”

Yuan Shao kept shaking his head repeatedly.

"Third," Xu Youfu asked again. "Dare to ask the original, is the governor of the state and county in the world friend or foe to you? Can you pull them over with your identity as the son of the Yuan clan, the leader of the party, and the leader of the eunuchs? ”

"Don't mention Kansai, Kanto Hebei, most of them are friends!" Yuan Shao reacted immediately. "I understand what Ziyuan means, you are asking me to pretend that I don't know this text, and now I will form my own alliance in the area around Luoyang, and serve as the leader of the alliance, and fight against Gongsun Wenqi to compete for the alliance!"

"It's not just a matter of momentum." Xu Yu approached the other party again. "At this time, we organize our own alliance, and there are two great advantages, or advantages...... First of all, we are around Luoyang, and dealing with Dong Zhuolai is much more convenient and easy to do than Gongsun Xun, who is separated by 2,000 miles; Secondly, let's take the opportunity to pull the governors of the surrounding counties over, so that it will be difficult for Gongsun Xun to expand and press, everyone is begging for Dong, he can't steal everyone's territory behind him when we are working hard to fight Dong Zhuo, right? In this case, what do the people of the world think of him? This is called, attacking Luoyang and defending Changping, and at the same time erecting your authority at the beginning, killing three birds with one stone! ”

Yuan Shao leaned over and held Xu You's hand, and said earnestly: "I have always been convinced of Ziyuan's strategy!" I don't have to wait a few days, I will go to visit Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang now, and ask him to write an article for me to discuss Dong Xuan, and call on the governors of the surrounding counties to conspire with me! ”

"Mr. Ziyuan's strategy is indeed excellent." Guo Tu next to him listened for a long time, and suddenly interjected, but he was actually praising Xu You.

Xu You couldn't help but look at it curiously.

And sure enough......

"However, before visiting Chen Lin, Ming Gong still had one thing to do." Guo Tu twisted the beard. "Dare to ask Ming Gong, Gongsun Xun is the general of Wei and the military of the nine counties, and the two people who support him are the great Sima Lingyouzhou Mu, and the right general leads Liaodong Taishou...... Ming Gong wants to be the leader of the alliance of the governors of the surrounding states and counties, what identity should he use? ”

"What does the public think?" Yuan Shao really got solemn.

"I mean ......," Guo Tu suddenly smiled. Isn't General Qianwei not appointed by this chariot general, why can't Ming Gong pretend to be a chariot general and act as the governor of the Kwantung Dynasty? Anyway, didn't his grandson Xun also express his self-sufficiency privately? ”

Yuan Shao was greatly moved.

Xu Yu sneered, and then sat back where he was.

"In what name should the alliance be initiated?" Yuan Shao also felt a little embarrassed when he heard the sneer, so he hurriedly asked again.

"It's easy." Feng Ji said disappreciably. "There are so many people who have fled from Luoyang recently, just find someone with heroic spirit, let him fake it as a letter to the third prince, or simply overkill him, and call for Dong like the big Sima in the north, Ming Gong is only the leader of the alliance, and there is no need to fight for the initiator and the landlord."

Yuan Shao became more and more bowed.

At this moment, all of a sudden, there was a commotion outside the room, and then a waiter who was specially responsible for transmitting the message came to report.

"What?" Yuan Shao turned around and asked.

"Return to Ming Gong." The people who came were covered with rain, and they gave their hands under the verandah of the house to report back. "Sima Chenglian, who was stationed in Hanoi in the north of Huai County, suddenly led his troops to the north in the rain, and he also went north with Gongsun Yue and General He's family members who were in Wen County before......

"It's a trivial matter." Feng Ji didn't even think about it and understood what was going on. "It must be that Gongsun Yue received his brother's letter and asked Cheng Lian to escort him to the north to find Guan Yu in Chaoge, or to Boxian to find a trick, or even go north to Zhao to find a match...... Don't bother. ”

Yuan Shao naturally didn't care...... Since everyone wants to ask Dong at this time, they are 'allies', and He Jin's family members don't have a few important people now, so I think it is Gongsun Xun who has helped him in his friendship with He Jin, and it is not worth caring about.

"One more thing." The man said again. "Just now there was news from Luozhong, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan was recruited into the court, and the new Yuzhou assassin was Kong Ling, and then the general also fled in the name of sending this person to his post...... He should have gone to Nanyang. ”

Yuan Shao's heart was tired for a while...... This younger brother of his own, even if he escaped, he didn't go all the way with him, and Nanyang was such a good place, why didn't he Yuan Benchu think of it at that time? I only hated myself for being too flustered at the time.

"One more thing!" The waiter cautiously looked at Yuan Shao's face, and then whispered.

"Say!" Feng Ji took the initiative to ask on behalf of Yuan Shao.

"Back to Ming Gong and all gentlemen." The man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Just now, Chen Liu's side sent a letter and a private letter, it was Cao Cao, who fled at the end of last month, this person actually claimed to have a letter from the three dukes in his hand, saying that the three dukes had a life, and wanted the righteous people of Kwantung to gather to discuss Dong and revitalize the dynasty...... In fact, this matter is ridiculous, after all, how could Taifu write to him and not with our Ming Gong? ”

Everyone in the room looked at each other, but Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time, but he came to the door barefoot, and then returned with a smile.

Feng Ji on the side, couldn't help but darken his face: "How do you know that Taifu won't write with Cao Mengde?" Remember, Cao Mengde and our Ming Gong are one and two two and one people, and he is with our Ming Gong! Got it?! ”

This person agreed in a panic, and there was no need to say more.

But Xu You didn't know when he had come to the door, and then he looked at the rain that had been raining for days, and was slightly moved: "It's really a timely rain!" ”

Chang Shan was really determined, and Gongsun Xun, who was preparing for the alliance and sending troops, was also looking up at the rain above his head, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

In other words, in the sixth year of Zhongping, Gongsun Xun's existence did catalyze some things, making things that should have happened months later earlier, and they became intense and compact.

But there was one thing he couldn't change...... This year, due to the continuous rain in summer, the Han Dynasty suffered a large-scale flood, but like all large-scale natural disasters, it fell in the history books, just a sentence of 'how much water is in the county'.

"Prince!" Because he was in his hometown, Zhao Yun, who was in charge of the security affairs of the alliance, suddenly came to report in a hurry.

"What?" Gongsun Xun's gaze finally turned from the rain above his head.

"The envoy of the Bohai Gongsun Duwei has arrived." Zhao Yun was concise and to the point.

Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head.

"The envoy said that Bohai Taishou is now Yuan Benchu, but he has not yet arrived, and as a captain, if he leaves easily, Bohai will have no one to control." Zhao Yun reported in a low voice. "So, there's really no way to come."

"Big brother, this should be asking me for an official, right?" Gongsun Xun turned his head and sighed quietly at Han Dang, who was silent on the side. "You can't disagree with me, will you?"

Han immediately laughed dryly, causing Gongsun Xun to laugh for a while.

"Taizu sent a message, calling on the Hebei Yishi League Changshan, Fan for Zhuo County's order, hearing it, that is, to be ordered; The more in Hanoi, the more you hear it, that is, you go north across the Taihang; Zan was the captain of the Bohai Sea, and when he heard it, he sent an envoy to Changshan to ask for the Bohai Sea to be too guarded, but he couldn't, so he sent Hanoi to Yuan Shao and asked for too much to be guarded. β€”"The World Speaks New Words".

PS: There are two more alliance leaders today...... One is the resurrection of Ma's husband, and the other is a famous and straightforward boss at the starting point...... All appreciated. The New Year is hard, and in addition to accompanying my parents, I try my best to maintain the update, and I hope you understand.
