Chapter 200: The Kwantung Alliance
After the New Year, the court was changed to the first year of the first peace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Soon after the New Year, dozens of celebrities from Yuzhou came to Pingyu City, led by Han Shao, the head of the Yingchuan Han clan. Others include Chen's Chen Chen, Chen Jifang; Zhong's Zhong Yu and Zhong Yan; Xun's Xun Qi, Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Xun Di; and the multiplication. Xu Qian, Xu Ling, and Xu Shao of the Xu clan in Runan, and Ying Ling of the Nanton people. He Kui, He Shulong, a native of Yangxia, Chen County, as well as Chen Hua, Li Shu, Lu Tang Guang, Zhang Xi, and Xie Huan.
When Han Yi heard that so many celebrities had come to Pingyu City to see him, he felt flattered, and hurriedly rushed back from the barracks, and after returning to the house to bathe, he went to the post house to greet everyone in formal clothes.
In the face of Han Yi's respectful salute, Han Shaozhu, who was fifty out of sixty, wore a cane and only paused with a cane to show his salute in return. Han Yi didn't think it was strange at all, not to mention Han Shao's age here, it was his fame, and he was also a famous figure in Dahan.
Zhong Hao, Xun Shu, Han Shao, and Chen Yu of Yingchuan County are all famous people who are famous for their high and virtuous behavior, and they are known as the four chiefs of Yingchuan. Almost all of these four characters have big names, and even Dong Zhuo, who is in power, is in high esteem. Just like Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji, etc., who were recruited last year, are now all high-ranking officials at the level of the three publics.
Han Yi respectfully bowed: "I don't know what is important for Mr. Zhonghuang to come to Pingyu, Han Yi is not talented, it is all my great sin to be tired of you traveling when the snow is melting in early spring." ”
Han Shao nodded and asked with a smile: "A month ago, I heard that King Hongnong successfully escaped from Luoyang City and appeared in Pingyu City, I don't know where King Hongnong is?" The old man wants to go and see him. ”
Han Yi was stunned, it seemed that the news that Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, had fled to Runan, still inevitably spread. It's just that Liu Bian didn't want to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty anymore and fought with Liu Xie. It was not easy to force himself, so he let him go to the southeast, and at this time it seemed to be near the Yin Tomb of Jiujiang.
Since Han Yi didn't force Liu Yi to stay, he naturally wouldn't reveal his whereabouts, so he pretended to be surprised and asked, "What?" King Hongnong escaped from Luoyang City and appeared in Pingyu City? How did I not know about this? In the past two months, Han Yi has been reorganizing his armaments and preparing to fight for thieves for the country, but he didn't expect such a major event to happen in Runan. Lepeng, Aike, and you are often in Pingyu City, can you know the news of King Hongnong? ”
Lepen is not good at lying, he just hangs his head and does not speak. I saw Ai Ke open his mouth and say, "What Mr. Zhong Huang said, Ke has also heard. It's just that in the past two months, Ke has also sent people around to look for it, but it's just ...... There is no trace of King Hongnong in Runan County. Even if King Hongnong escaped from Luoyang City smoothly, he would definitely not be in Runan County at this time. ”
Le Peng replied at this time: "Yes, King Hongnong is not in Runan County at this time. ”
When the celebrities heard this, they immediately looked at each other. Chen Chen Chen Jifang said with a smile: "I heard that Han Fuguo's army is very strong, and this is the heartland of Runan, I want to meet King Hongnong, just to greet him, nothing else." Why does Han Fuguo need to be so vigilant? ”
Chen Chen is the second son of Chen Yu, one of the four chiefs of Yingchuan, Chen Yu since the disaster of the party, he really lived in the township, calmly, and was the master of the near and far at that time. With his son Ji and Chen Ming, the father and son were called "Three Gentlemen" at the time. Although Chen Yu was mourned, his eldest son Chen Ji had been recruited into Beijing to serve as a servant, and Chen Chen Chen Jifang himself was also a famous man in the world at this time.
Chen Chen asked, but Han Yi didn't answer, so he said: "King Hongnong is indeed not in Runan, let alone Pingyu. After Han Yi thought about it, in order to strengthen the affirmation, he said: "If King Hongnong is in Runan, how can Han Yi have the heart to hide, and he will not spread it early and re-support King Hongnong as the emperor in Pingyu City." I am in charge of the military affairs, set up hundreds of officials, imitate Dong Thief, and confront him-for-tat. Since Han Yi didn't do this, he knew that King Hongnong was indeed not in Runan. ”
After hearing this, the celebrities were immediately disappointed, in fact, they did not want to re-establish King Hongnong as the emperor and use it to confront Dong Zhuo. With Liu Bian's identity as the son of heaven, the court built will be able to command the righteous people of the world. Defeating Dong Zhuo's puppet court, so as to stabilize the world, is just a matter of backhand. It's just that unexpectedly, King Hongnong is not in Runan County. So where did he go?
After all the celebrities were disappointed, they left one after another. No matter how Han Yi saluted, most of them didn't respond to the call. Only Ying Ling, Lu Cheng, Chen Hua, Li Shu, Tang Guang, Zhang Xi, Xie Huan and a few others stayed.
When Le Peng saw it, he couldn't help complaining to Han Yidao: "Why did the lord let King Hongnong go?" So that the lord had the opportunity to control the world, but he lost it in vain. ”
Han Yi shook his head, what he wanted was peace in the world, and the people of Hanshi also had a bright future, and there was no requirement for who would be the emperor. King Hongnong and Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty have a deep brotherly relationship, he himself does not want to be the emperor, how can he force himself? It's really forced, so how is it different from Dong Zhuo?
The division of a kingdom into two lords is a scene of great chaos in the world. And he is also the identity of a martial artist, if he becomes Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that the Kanto heroes will target themselves again. There is no danger to defend in Runan County, and once it is targeted, there is nowhere to retreat even if you want to. Therefore, Han Yi was unwilling to do this support, and let King Hongnong leave, just to repay the Empress Dowager He Zhen's affection.
The people of Yingchuan wanted to return, but they suddenly heard that Dong Zhuo took Hu Zhen as the protector of the capital, led 50,000 soldiers, and there were countless of them, out of Yique, Daguguan, Polun and Yangcheng counties, and went down to Yangguan.
Although Li Min, the Taishou of Yingchuan, did not respond to the righteous act, he was also an anti-Dong person. So he hurriedly led his troops to Yangguan to defend, and sent people to Luyang and Sujube for help. There are already a lot of anti-Dong troops gathered in these two places, and they will definitely be able to give Yingchuan County great help.
When the people of Yingchuan heard about the war, they had no choice but to stay in Runan County, and they were afraid that Yingchuan's family would be burdened by the military disaster, so they all moved to Runan County for temporary refuge.
Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai in the sour jujube, is the prince who arrived first at the conference. I heard that Ruyang's family legend that King Hongnong was in Runan. Immediately sent an envoy to order Han Yi to send King Hongnong to the sour jujube and accept the support of everyone.
Han Yi sent a letter to inform Yuan Shao that King Hongnong was not in Runan and there was no one to send. It is not appropriate to set up a new monarch repeatedly, so as not to greatly reduce the authority of the Han Emperor. Yuan Shao was furious and immediately stripped Han Yi's qualification to join the alliance. He was more interested in raising the alliance army first and came to Runan, but fortunately he was persuaded by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao also wrote a letter to ask Han Yi about the whereabouts of King Nong, and Han Yi said that he did not know anything. Cao Cao had no choice but to ask Han Yi to postpone coming to the Sour Jujube Alliance and talk about it later.
Han Yi sent an envoy to Yingchuan to ask Li Min if he needed reinforcements. I don't want Li Min to be a former official of the Yuan family, and he has the same position as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and is indifferent to Han Yi's words of reinforcements.
Han Yi was furious, feeling that it was a good act to please Dong Yi, but it had become a continuation of Yuan Dong's second clan's open and secret battle in Luoyang City. Immediately, he had no intention of joining it, and took millet from the fire for the Yuan family, so he only stood still in the county and stepped up military training.
Guangling County Gong Cao Zanghong persuaded Taishou Zhang Chao to join his brother Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao to raise troops together. Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, also joined, raised troops in Suozao, elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, led the general of the cavalry, and crusaded against Dong Zhuo.
The anti-Dong forces' sour jujube coalition and Hanoi coalition forces were extremely powerful, and Dong Zhuo felt threatened. Coupled with the defeat of Xihe, Dong Zhuo became more and more frightened, and hurriedly ordered Hu Zhen to temporarily withdraw from the army. He was also afraid that Han Yi would order Wang Yang to lead the Southern Xiongnu soldiers south to Hedong, or cut off the back road of Dong Zhuo's Western Liangqiang soldiers from Shangjun, so he decided to move the capital.
In February, Dong Zhuo proposed a plan to move the capital to Chang'an, and Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao were dismissed because of their opposition. Dong Zhuo used this to kill Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong to vent his anger.
Dong Zhuo was worried that Jingzhao Yin Gaixun, who was stationed in Chang'an, and Huangfu Song, the general of Zuo, would respond to the anti-Dong coalition forces in Kwantung, so he conscripted them into Luoyang City. After Huangfu Song arrived, Dong Zhuo instructed others to frame him in prison because of his old grudges, intending to kill him. Huangfu Jianshou, the son of Huangfu Song, had a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, so he personally asked to see Dong Zhuo and intercede on behalf of his father, and Dong Zhuo agreed to release Huangfu Song.
On 17 February, the Eastern Han Dynasty moved to Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo set fire to the palaces, government offices, and private houses in Luoyang City, taking the opportunity to loot property, and instructed his subordinates to dig up the tombs of emperors and ministers to obtain treasures, resulting in a 200-mile radius of Luoyang barren and withered. On March 5, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty entered the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. Dong Zhuo stayed in Bigui Yuan in Luoyang to fight against the Kwantung coalition army.
However, the Kwantung Coalition sat idly by, and only had a drinking party every day. First of all, Cao Cao thought that Dong Zhuo burned the palace and robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea was shaken, so he should take the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with him. The princes ignored it and led the army westward alone. And send a message to Han Yi, please attack from Otani and Yique. Han Yi immediately raised 30,000 horses and troops and entered Yingchuan County.
However, Li Min, the Taishou of Yingchuan, suspected that Han Yi wanted to seize Yingchuan County, so he hurriedly led more than 10,000 troops in a panic to Yingyin to confront Han Yijun of Xu County, and begged Yuan Shu of Luyang to send troops to come to the rescue.
Han Yi couldn't march and wanted to kill Li Min, but he was afraid that he would completely turn his face with the Yuan family, so he had to reluctantly quit again.
However, Cao Cao traveled to Xingyang Bianshui and confronted Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong. Because of the disparity in the number of soldiers, Cao Cao was defeated, most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and he was also injured by Dong Jun's arrows, but fortunately he was rescued by his cousin Cao Hong and survived.
Back to Suojube, Cao Cao suggested that the armies should have their own important places, and then divide their troops to the west to enter Wuguan and besiege Dong Zhuo, but the princes of Kwantung still refused to obey. The Kwantung armies were called Dong Zhuo, but in fact, they each had a ghost in their hearts, intending to wait for an opportunity to develop their own forces.
Cao Cao was so angry that he had to go to Runan County to discuss with Han Yi. Han Yi was also made angry by Yuan's actions, and decided that after the summer harvest, he would use all his Runan troops to defeat Dong Zhuo. Whoever stands in the way, kill them all. Cao Cao was overjoyed and led his troops to Danyang County, Yangzhou, wanting to summon more than 10,000 Danyang elite soldiers to discuss Dong Zhuo with Han Yi.
At the time of the summer harvest, Han Yi measured the acres of land in Runan County again, counted the household registration, and finally came up with a large number. The first county of Runan has a total of 8.14 million mu of land and 1.63 million stone of taxable grain. There are more than 1.8 million people, more than 360,000 household registrations, and a total of 1.1 billion yuan in taxes. Together with last year's money and grain, it is enough to supply the 100,000 army for a year's expenses.
However, at this time, Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, also led 20,000 troops north to Nanyang.
