"The lord, the subordinates are incompetent, and they can't sneak into the northern region to kill that Xiang Ao!"

"Take back the Shadow Guard!" Yuan Shao was not angry, and even said with a little excitement: "Leaving Xiang Ao may be able to help me." ”

"After that, don't pay attention to the Northern Regions for the time being, just leave someone to watch at any time!" Yuan Shao wrote and painted on the rice paper on top of the table and said: "After that, the center of gravity shifted to Luoyang, and His Majesty the 'Shengming' of my great Han will not be able to hold on!" ”

"No!"

"Also, send someone to inform Zhang Rang that there is no need to let Your Majesty let us have more leisure, the general trend has been achieved, so as not to give birth to horizontal branches!"

"No!"

After Yuan Shao waited for his subordinates to leave, he kept looking at the rice paper and smiling hideously. Liu Hong, Liu Hong, even if I don't give 'free life' anymore, you won't live long! Originally, Yuan Shao also wanted to increase the dosage of medicine and let Liu Hong return to the west as soon as possible, but he didn't want Liu Hong to indulge himself and have fun all day long, which made Yuan Shao feel a lot more worried.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was still idle at home, was heartbroken. Cao Cao stood in front of the thatched hut, looked to the north, and thought to himself: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, far villain, how can my Han be reorganized in the past. Cao Cao looked at the situation in the world from afar today, but he didn't understand why Liu Hong was so mediocre. Seeing that the Han was being squandered by Liu Hong little by little, Cao Cao was powerless, and his heart was extremely bitter.

Cao Cao also looked forward to the day when he would be recruited by the imperial court, and at that time, Cao Cao planned to get rid of the treachery around His Majesty, and return the Han court to a clear and clear court, even if he was guilty of death. For more than a year, Cao Cao has also made a lot of efforts, and he has written to advise He Jin, trying to persuade He Jin to get rid of the eunuchs. Although He Jin was born as a butcher, he still has respect for the world's families. Even if He Jin was allowed to take power, Cao Cao felt that he could guide He Jin to support the Han court.

However, He Jin was timid and never agreed, and Cao Cao was also helpless.

In fact, what Cao Cao didn't know was that He Jin also wanted to get rid of the eunuchs, and even found that Yuan Shao intended to unite after the fourth and third dukes. However, Yuan Shao's reply was that he was still keeping filial piety and should not participate in political affairs, and the time had not yet come.

He Jin didn't pay attention to the reason for keeping filial piety, if he really wanted to participate in this matter, even if Yuan Shao himself was inconvenient to appear, he could just send someone to act. However, Yuan Shao's so-called timing He Jin did not understand, so He Jin did not dare to act rashly.

He Jin also informed Cao Cao of the timing of what Yuan Shao said, but even a person as smart as Cao Cao didn't understand what Yuan Shao's so-called timing was, was it evidence? But the two didn't know that Yuan Shao's plan was even deeper. In order to combat the majesty of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao did everything he could. It's just that who knows about Yuan Shao's arrangements after that?

In the fourth year of Zhongping, just after the first month, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, under the advice of a group of ministers, granted amnesty to the world, in a vain attempt to reduce the frequent rebellions in various places. However, it was all in vain, and the amnesty decree had not yet passed the spring. In February, the people of Xingyang County revolted. The rebels attacked Zhongmu and killed Zhongmu Lingluo Hao and the main bookkeeper Pan Ye, and the momentum gradually grew. The Luoyang court was shocked, and Liu Hong was even more furious. In March, he sent He Jin's brother Yin He Miao of Henan to lead troops to suppress it, but fortunately, the rebel militia was not strong and did not take too much time to be suppressed by He Miao.

The Xiliang rebels who had not been pacified a year ago were also happy, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, with more than 100,000 troops, entered the siege of Longxi, and guarded Li Xiangru rebelled, and Sui Lian made peace. Taiwei Zhang Wen was not pacified, and Zhang Wen was exempted from the post of Taiwei Zhang Wen and recalled to Jingshi for questioning, and then Situ Cui Lie was appointed as Tai Lieutenant.

However, no matter how the position of the three princes is replaced, it still can't change the status quo that the Han has gradually lost its majesty.

"My lord, the caravan is coming to report, Yuyang Zhang Chun has objections!"

"Oh?! Wasn't Zhang Chun originally a Zhongshan minister? How can there be a sudden rebellion? ”

Xi Zhong took out the information brought back by the fine work and handed it to Xiang Ao Dao: "The imperial court ordered Zhang Wen to send Youzhou Wuhuan to ride three thousand to please Liangzhou, after Zhang Chun heard about it, he went to Zhang Wen's tent to ask for war, Zhang Wen did not agree, Zhang Chun held a grudge, and returned to Yuyang a few days ago, but secretly formed an alliance with the same county that could not be reused, so Taishan Taishou Zhang Ju and Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju and so on!" ”

Xiang Ao frowned slightly when he heard this, and slowly opened the special papyrus used for intelligence to look at it carefully.

"My lord, do you want to go to the court to send troops?" Since Xi Zhong began to be in charge of the military, he would remind Xiang Ao every time he saw that there was going to be a war, in a vain attempt to enrich the troops in the Northern Regions with Xiang Ao's method.

"Let's put it down for now!" Xiang Ao put down the intelligence papyrus and said: "The intelligence system of our Northern Region has not informed the imperial court, and if it is discovered by the imperial court, it may not be peaceful." Besides, isn't there a general Gongsun in Youzhou? It should be fine. ”

"Besides, the annual war is also not good for the people of the Northern Regions, it is rare to be idle, and it is better to deal with the people's livelihood with peace of mind after two years of dissipation in the Northern Regions!"

"The Lord is wise!" Xi Zhong thought about it, and he knew it in his heart.

"But it's better to write to General Gongsun, so that he can prepare early, so that too many people will not be involved in it and suffer from the military disaster in vain!"

"No!"

After Zhang Wen shirked Zhang Chun's self-recommendation, he ordered Gongsun Zhan to be a general and sent 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion.

"General Zhang, Yuyang came to report, Zhang Chun has counter-intentions, and he is afraid that he will not be able to accompany the army to conquer the Xiliang rebels. Zan needs to report to the court as soon as possible, and wait for the imperial edict! ”

"Huh?!" Zhang Wen was stunned when he heard this: "Zhang Chun wants to rebel?" ”

"It's really bold, I would have rebelled against the Han if I didn't allow him to lead the army to quell the rebellion! What a Zhang Chun, what a Zhang Chun! After Zhang Wen came back to his senses, he was furious, and he wanted to divide Zhang Chun's five horses.

"What General Gongsun said is extremely true!" After stabilizing his mind, Zhang Wen said: "Youzhou is already adjacent to Xianbei, Fuyu and other foreign clans, and there is a Wuhuan rebellion in it, but General Gongsun is not suitable to leave at this time. It's just that these 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry can affect the general's counterinsurgency? ”

"General Zhang rest assured, although there is a Wuhuan rebellion, there are many Wuhuan people who sincerely surrender to the Han, and these 3,000 people are the warriors who surrender to the Han in Wuhuan. Zan still has a lot of defenders left in Yuyang, and Zhang Chun can't afford to make big waves. Moreover, there is also the champion General Hou Fengyuan's army sitting in Daijun, and General Zhang does not have to worry. ”

Zhang Wen was originally questioned because he could not calm the rebellion of Sanfu, and this time Dai Sin sent troops with the intention of borrowing troops from Youzhou before the snow, and he would definitely return it to Gongsun Zhan easily. Seeing Gongsun Chan answer like this, Zhang Wen was relieved a lot, so he said goodbye to Gongsun Chan.

Gongsun Zhan, who received Xiang Ao's warning, also hurried to the court, and he hurried back to Yuyang to deal with Zhang Chun's rebellion at any time. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know his location, Gongsun Chan would have already taken the initiative to attack Zhang Chun.

To be on the safe side, Gongsun Chan even asked the imperial court in the letter to allow the northern region to send a small number of troops to assist Gongsun Chan, so as to prevent the enemy from becoming overwhelmed. After Xiang Ao received the imperial edict, he did not recruit new soldiers this time, but ordered Zhao Yun to lead the 'righteous servants and Gao Shunling' to trap the camp and more than 2,000 infantry to be stationed on behalf of the county, ready to respond to Gongsun Zan at any time.

This time it was different from the past, and most of the cavalry made meritorious contributions. Zhang Chun rebelled in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and there must have been a lot of siege battles at that time, so he ordered the two to follow Gongsun Zan to learn more. As for Xiang Ao himself, he did not go out with the army, but accompanied Cai Yan and Xiang Ping in the general's mansion.

Speaking of Xiang Ping, Xiang Ao was so proud. In July and August, although Xiang Ping's body was no different from that of ordinary people, he had already begun to babble, "My father and mother shouted happily, although my speech was a little slurred, but it was inevitable that Xiang Ao, who was a new father, would proudly show off in front of the ministers of the Northern Regions.

Although Xiang Ping is like a baby who sleeps a lot on weekdays, as long as he wakes up, he looks around with his smart eyes open, not just screaming, and asks Xiang Ao to take some objects and take a closer look in front of him. If Xiang Ao could find out the thoughts in Xiang Ping's mind now, he would definitely be so shocked that he had nothing to say. But how do babies think, and how do outsiders know?

Xiang Ao saw that Xiang Ping was so clever, regardless of whether Xiang Ping could understand it or not, he subconsciously recited to Xiang Ping all the knowledge that Xiang Ao had learned before. Although Xiang Ao knew that Xiang Ping definitely didn't understand, he still had some expectations in his heart: If my son is smart and intelligent to ordinary people, what if he is really active?

Every time Cai Yan saw Xiang Ao reciting the 'Four Books and Five Classics or other works' for Xiang Ping so seriously, he shook his head and called Xiang Ao stupid. Xiang Ao smiled and didn't say much, still reciting to Xiang Ping in his own way. There was no response at the beginning, and Xiang Ao never thought that Xiang Ping would really scream along with him, and even occasionally hear the correct pronunciation, which made Xiang Ao very happy. After Cai Yan, who didn't believe it, saw it, his eyes widened and he screamed strange.

The more so, the more positive Xiang Ao is, as long as Xiang Ping has nothing to do after waking up, and he doesn't want to play, Xiang Ao will hold Xiang Ping and recite various works softly, just like Xiang Ao when he was a child, regardless of Confucianism, Taoism, soldiers, Legalism and other knowledge, he recited it every day.

In the same month, Zhang Chun cooperated with his fellow villager Zhang Ju to raise troops to rebel, plundered Jixian County, and killed Gong Qichou, the captain of Wuhuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping County, and the Taishou Yangzhong of Liaodong County. Before Xiang Ao and Gongsun Zan could react, they gathered more than 100,000 people, and with lightning speed, they sent troops to capture western Liaoning. After occupying Feiru, Zhang Ju proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, Zhang Chun proclaimed himself General Mitian and King Anding, and the two moved to Shuzhou County, claiming that Zhang Ju would replace the Han Emperor as the emperor, and asked the Han Emperor to abdicate, and the public secretary welcomed Zhang Ju.

Seeing that Zhang Chun was so powerful, the imperial court urgently ordered Xiang Ao and Gongsun Zhan to send troops to suppress it, and there must be no mistake. At the urging of the imperial court, Xiang Ao hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses stationed in Daijun to rush to Yuyang and Gongsun Zhan to prepare to attack Liaoxi with a large army.

However, what the two did not expect was that Zhang Chun took the risk of sending the king of Wuhuan Qiao to cross the Bohai Sea with tens of thousands of foot riders, and directly marched into Qingzhou Plain County and Jizhou Bohai County from the mouth of the Yellow River, and attacked Qinghe, Pingyuan and other counties, which was very popular.

Liu Hong, who was furious, could issue an edict to Xiang Ao and Gongsun Zhan, ordering the two to immediately rush to the plains and Qinghe to quell the rebellion. Xiang Ao didn't want someone in the DPRK to frame him because of the disadvantage of a long war. In desperation, Xiang Ao had no choice but to leave the Northern Regions temporarily, and led the most elite guards of the 'Feather Killing Battalion of 2,000 and 3,000' Xuanyu Battalion to rush to help.

As a result, the war between the plains and the Qinghe is about to break out.
