Chapter 187: The General Trend of the World
In May of the first year of Chuping, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the world of the Han Dynasty had completely lost control, and the Quartet was in chaos. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, Guanzhong, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the first thing he did was to build a large number of buildings in Guanzhong, send 200,000 people, and repair the Chang'an Forbidden City.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an had two palaces of Changle and Weiyang, and there were also Gui Palace, North Palace, Jianzhang Palace, Mingguang Palace and other palace groups, which were built for more than 90 years. However, in the late years of the Western Han Dynasty, it was destroyed by war, and in the past ten years, Liangzhou has rebelled many times, entered Sanfu, and the damage to the palace cemetery has intensified.
Because the scale of the palace complex is too large, it will take at least a long time to completely repair, so Dong Zhuo mainly repaired the Weiyang Palace, and transferred timber from Zhongtiao Mountain in Hedong County.
Dong Zhuo did not go to Chang'an, but stayed in Luoyang. However, when he decided to move the capital to Chang'an, for the stability of the rear of Sanfu, the previous edict ordered Huangfu Song, the left general who controlled 30,000 soldiers and horses in Sanfu, to be the captain of the city gate, and Jingzhao Yin Gaixun to be the councilor.
Gai Xun secretly found Huangfu Song to plot against Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song should not, and decided to hand over the military power by the edict, Gai Xun had few soldiers, and it was difficult to get into trouble alone, so he had no choice but to give up and go to Luoyang to see Dong Zhuo with Huangfu Song.
After the two arrived in Luoyang, Gai Xun saw Dong Zhuo, did not bow down, just waved his hands, and the people present were all shocked, and Dong Zhuo also knew that Gai Xun had always been upright, and it was useless to even intercede for the prince Liu Wei for the ten permanent attendants, and remembered that Gai Xun had an outstanding reputation in Liangzhou, so he did not blame, but appointed him as the captain of the Yue Cavalry.
As for Huang Fu Song, when he first arrived in Luoyang and did not see Dong Zhuo, he was imprisoned by the chief official for questioning, Dong Zhuo had old grudges with his old boss Huang Fu Song, so he let the officials deal with it, and a generation of famous generals was miserable. Fortunately, Huangfu Jianshou, the son of Huangfu Song, and Dong Zhuo are close friends, and when he learned that his father was in prison, he personally went to Bi Guiyuan to question Dong Zhuo, who was a guest at the banquet, and kowtowed, Dong Zhuo got up, sat with him, and ordered someone to release Huangfu Song and appoint him as the speaker.
After the two unstable factors of Huangfu Song and Gai Xun were resolved, Dong Zhuo's western rear was stable.
But the situation in the north is complicated, Zhonglang General Niu Fu is still crusading against the white wave thieves in Hadong County, but the situation in Hanoi County is suddenly bad!
After Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang were defeated and retreated, Wang Kuang returned to Mount Tai to recruit troops, but Yuan Shao did not return directly to Bohai, but stayed in Qinghe to recruit troops everywhere, and at the same time, he ordered Han Fu to send troops south in the name of the alliance leader. Forced by the situation, Han Fu sent the governor Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan to lead 10,000 crossbowmen from Yecheng to the south and approached Hanoi.
At the same time, Yuan Shao made another big move, sending Huya Lieutenant Liu Xun to persuade the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, who had failed to plunder with Shangdang in Hedong, and Zhang Yang, who also led thousands of men and horses to wander in Shangdang, to allow him to take official positions, and the two people who were in an embarrassing situation immediately agreed to attach themselves to Yuan Shao and go south to seek Dong, leading more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to camp on the bank of Zhangshui on the northern border of Hanoi County, and eyeing Hanoi County.
In addition, a large number of white wave thieves crossed the Taihang Mountain Road and entered the western part of Hanoi County, and the black mountain thieves were also ready to move.
Hanoi County had no danger to defend, and Dong Yue, who was stationed in Hanoi County, fought once with the wandering White Wave Thieves, losing a lot of soldiers and horses. Dong Zhuo was shocked and ordered Dong Yue to abandon Hanoi and withdraw to Mengjin.
In the south, Yuan Shu still stationed troops in Luyang and did not move, but a fierce man thousands of miles away began to act, this person is Wucheng Hou and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian!
In fact, Sun Jian's army was righteous and selfish, and when he fought in Liangzhou, he was under the command of Zhang Wen with Dong Zhuo, and instigated Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo, so he had a feud with Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo took power, Sun Jian was already worried, so after Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other Kwantung princes raised troops, he immediately responded in the face of a God-given opportunity.
The princes of Kwantung were all from families, except for Sun Jian, who was only a military attaché, and he was not qualified enough to be at the same level as other princes.
However, from Changsha to Luoyang, it is a distance of 2,000 miles, and the army carries grain and grass to travel 30 miles a day, which takes more than three or four months, and Sun Jian was stranded several times on the way, and did two major things!
The first thing was to kill Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou.
Sun Jian took 5,000 soldiers and horses to the north to fight Dong, passing through Wuling County, and invited Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo. Because he was the assassin of Wuling County, he had many conflicts with Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling, so he asked Sun Jian to kill Cao Yin first, and then sent troops together.
Sun Jian was also very good, and immediately led his troops to kill Cao Yin, Cao Yin was greatly frightened when he learned about it, but how simple is it to be a Taishou, he magnified his courage and forged the text of Wen Yi, the practitioner of the false case, Guanglu Doctor, and counted Wang Rui's crimes, and ordered Sun Jian to kill Wang Rui in Jingzhou.
Sun Jian already had an old grudge with Wang Rui, and took the text, regardless of whether he was true or not, he directly led his troops to besiege Wang Rui's office, forced Wang Rui to commit suicide, and annexed Wang Rui's 5,000 soldiers and horses, and after the reorganization, the number of troops reached 10,000, and he continued to go north.
What Sun Jian didn't know was that it was precisely because he killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, that he gave a chance to one person, and this person was Liu Biao. After Dong Zhuo learned that the assassin of Jingzhou was killed, he took the opportunity to deprive Liu Biao of the military power of the northern army and appointed him as the assassin of Jingzhou.
But I didn't expect that after Liu Xian entered Jingzhou, he contacted the Jingzhou family, lured the leaders of fifty or sixty thieves to feast, killed them all in one go, annexed their subordinates, and then persuaded Jiangxia Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, who were entrenched in Xiangyang, to surrender, and then put down the rebellion in Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang, connecting Wuling in the south and Hanchuan in the north, thousands of miles in place, with more than 100,000 armor, becoming a paradise in the war, many scholars went to take refuge, including Langya Zhuge Liang, Yuzhou Yingchuan Xu Shu, Yingchuan Shitao, Boling Cui Jun, Runan, Meng Gongwei, etc.
In history, Sun Jian finally died in the hands of Liu Biao, he killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, but was killed by Liu Biao, who replaced Wang Rui.
After Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, he went all the way north and collected troops on a large scale, and when he arrived in Nanyang, there were more than 20,000 people, and the grain and grass he brought were insufficient, so he asked Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi to supply military rations.
Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi and Han Fu are in the same situation, both were appointed by Dong Zhuo, and they had no intention of crusading against Dong Zhuo, and like Yuan Shao in Han Fu's territory, Zhang Shi also had a great god in his territory, Yuan Shu, the rear general stationed in Luyang! Compared with Dong Zhuo, in fact, what he is more guarded against is Yuan Shu.
After receiving Sun Jian's request for military rations, Zhang Zhi looked down on Sun Jian's background and refused to give military rations. Sun Jian is also cunning, he is silent on the surface, and sent cattle and wine to Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jian is the most important etiquette for such a celebrity, even if he looks down on Sun Jian, he also goes to Sun Jian's military camp to return the gift and thank you.
This move is tantamount to a fool falling into the mouth of a tiger, how can Sun Jian be polite? Even if Zhang Zhi is beheaded!
Sun Jian came from a humble background, but when he was young, he served as a county magistrate in three counties, and then followed Zhu Jun to crusade against the Yellow Turban, fought in the south and the north, and followed Zhang Wen to crusade against Liangzhou Bianzhang and Han Sui, and quelled the rebellion in the county and county.
After Sun Jian killed Nanyang Taishou, he was afraid that other princes would ask him, so he defected to the later general Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was secretly competing with his brother Yuan Shao at this time, and when he saw that Sun Jian came with 20,000 soldiers and horses, he also killed the eye-catching Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately went south from Luyang to control Nanyang County, and recommended Sun Jian as the general of the prisoner, and ordered Sun Jian to garrison Luyang.
Nanyang County is the hometown of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu and the place of Longxing, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang is the "emperor's hometown", Wancheng is designated as the accompanying capital, called the southern capital, the emperor's relatives can not be counted, the princes will face each other in the first house, and the degree of wealth is only under Luoyang.
Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang County, which can be said to have a strong foundation, and with the fame of the Yuan clan in Runan, he is undoubtedly the first among the princes to have a strong separatist capital, one step ahead of his brother Yuan Shao! Stronger than the other princes, it has become a separatist force second only to Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou today.
Of course, Sun Jian's arrival and Yuan Shu's occupation of Nanyang were only a few months later, and in May, Yuan Shao in the north was still busy recruiting troops, while Yuan Shu in the south was plotting against Nanyang.
In the southeast, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling and Yingchuan Taishou Li Min were still stationed in Yingchuan, but they did one thing, so that the originally discordant East Road army and the several princes stationed in Suozao County, Chenliu County, were divided again. (To be continued.) )
