Chapter 2 is like facing the abyss in the fourth section of December, east of the river, heavy snow falls. Since the beginning of winter, the upper reaches of the Yellow River begin to flow downward, and around the time of November to mid-December, the river surface begins to freeze.

Although there are ancients

However, because the water surface of the Yellow River in the east of the river is very wide, the ice layer is thin, and it opens at the right time, it is difficult to form a solid ice bridge, and it is very unsafe for people and animals to come and go.

The Northern Frontier Army hoped that the weather would get colder and colder, and the heavy snow would fall one after another, so that the ice would be thick and the army could successfully cross the river to attack.

The first heavy snow of this winter was delayed in the anticipation of the soldiers in northern Xinjiang. While directing the soldiers to carry out winter training and make various preparations before the attack, Li Hong discussed with the generals the plan for the reorganization of the army, and only waited for the two armies of Liyi and Zhang Yan to arrive in Hedong to implement it.

The army attacking Luoyang was divided into two parts: the north and the south. The hussar general Li Hong commanded the northern and southern armies. In the camp of the hussar general, there are the Black Panther Battalion of General Pound De, the Tiger Camp of Captain Zhang Zhen, as well as the Bing Cao Battalion and the Scout Battalion, a total of 6,000 people.

The northern attack army consisted of five armies: Longxiang, Zhichong, Yangwu, Zhenjun, and Zhenhu, with 8,000 men each.

The Long Xiang army was led by the Long Xiang general Xu Rong, and the mighty Zhonglang general Zhang He was the deputy. Du Wei Chang Gong, Chen Jian, Liu Yu, and Sima Zhang Ying of other departments each led a battalion, each with 2,000 men and horses.

The town army was led by the town army general Lu Yi, and Wu Lie Zhonglang was the deputy of Wen Chou. Lieutenants He Feng, Fan Li, Xu Huang, and Du Lieutenant Lei Zhong each led a battalion.

The town guard army was led by Zhang Yan, the general of the town guard, and the king was the deputy of Xiao Cavalry Zhonglang. Lieutenants Yu Yigen, Peng Lie, Zhang Xiao, and Ding Bo each led a battalion.

The Zhichong army was led by the general Yushi, and the Li Wei Zhonglangqiao Huaxiong was the deputy. Lieutenants Liang Baiwu, Li Yun, Yang Chun, and Guo Xun each led a battalion.

The Yangwu army was led by the Yangwu general Yang Feng, and the strong crossbow Zhonglang general Sun Qin was his deputy. Lieutenants Li Yao, Yang Zhen, Liao Lei, and Lin Xun each led a battalion.

The southern attack army was a 10,000-strong Tiger Lie army, led by the Tiger Lie general Yan Liang, and Wu Yi Zhonglang was the deputy of Gao Ran.

Lieutenants Gao Shun and Wu Xiong, Du Lieutenant Xiang Cheng, and Sima Jiewu and Xu Yan of other departments each led a battalion of men. It has been a common practice for the Northern Xinjiang Army to reorganize its army before every major war, and the generals are accustomed to it, and they have no objection to Li Hong's plan for reorganizing the army.

At this time, the scouts reported that the northern army in the direction of Kasakajin, Fenglingdu and Maojindu was already in full formation, and reinforcements were coming from Guanzhong one after another, and the situation was becoming more and more serious.

If the Northern Army gathers too many troops on the other side of the Yellow River, it will be very unfavorable to the Northern Xinjiang Army's attack on crossing the river. The two generals, Koji Yi and Yushi, immediately suggested crossing the river to attack, and took several cities on the other side of the Yellow River with absolute superiority to complete the siege of Luoyang.

Now there are only 20,000 troops of Niu Fu in the direction of Hongnong County, and since they cannot determine the direction of our main attack, these 20,000 troops have to be distributed in three places: Tongguan, Fenglingdu and Maojindu, and the forces are too scattered.

If the Northern Xinjiang Army launched an attack a year ago, it would definitely be able to attack it unprepared and hit it with one blow. Ko Yi said that Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu must know that our army has not yet been assembled, and according to their estimates, our attack should be next month or after the beginning of spring.

So they must be defenseless at this moment. We chose to attack before the year, and the timing should be appropriate.

If we delay the attack until the first month or later, when the weather is cold, the strength of the two sides is close, and the Yellow River will thaw at any time, the casualties of the Northern Xinjiang Army will be very heavy.

Li Hong rejected the suggestion of the two. The Northern Frontier Army launched an attack without fully assembling it, and even if the initial battle was successful, it was still difficult to hold the city due to the lack of reinforcements for the large army.

Dong Zhuohui, who was cut off from retreat, commanded the Northern Army to attack the Northern Xinjiang Army from the two directions of Guanzhong and Luoyang at all costs.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang in Hanoi, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian in southern Luoyang were not ready. If they can't attack Luoyang immediately and effectively contain Dong Zhuo's forces, we are bound to be defeated.

We were defeated and retreated to Hedong, and the strategy of attacking Luoyang on three sides immediately failed. Li Hong repeatedly warned the generals that this attack on Luoyang was a joint attack by the three parties.

With the strength of Northern Xinjiang alone, the more than 40,000 troops in Hedong could not defeat Dong Zhuo and take Luoyang, so the cooperation and tacit understanding between the three armies are very important now.

Every move of the Northern Xinjiang Army must first consider the interests and survival of the other two armies. Will we be able to get their cooperation in our attack?

Can you cooperate with them? Is it conducive to the tripartite army to quickly and completely take Luoyang? According to our agreement with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the time of attacking Luoyang should be from the middle of the first month to the beginning of February, and we cannot change this attack time at will.

Lu Yi looked down on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, believing that they might not attack Luoyang within the agreed time, and even if they launched an attack on Luoyang within the agreed time, they might not do their best.

"To fight Luoyang, we still have to rely on ourselves, and we can't count on others. If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't have the illustrious family background of the fourth world and the third duke, they would be a fart. Li Hong smiled helplessly.

The purpose of our attack on Luoyang this time is not to encircle Dong Zhuo, defeat Dong Zhuo, and kill Dong Zhuo, but to take Luoyang intact, and our goal is Luoyang, which is Kyoto.

I believe you all know very well what kind of person Dong Zhuo is, especially Zilie (Xu Rong), Yuntian (Koyi), Ziwei (Huaxiong), you have fought side by side with him in Western Xinjiang for many years, and Ying Zi knows his character.

If we drive him to a dead end, force him to have no way to escape, and he burns Luoyang in a fit of rage, we will be miserable.

Not only have we done nothing, but we are all guilty of great sins. The Kyoto of the Han Dynasty was in ruins, the foundation of nearly two hundred years was destroyed, and the dying society was dealt a fatal blow.

We are in a hurry to take Luoyang in order to return to the imperial court. The purpose of moving back to the imperial court was to use the prestige of Kyoto to deter the prefectures and counties of the world, so as to re-establish the supreme authority of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, quickly stabilize the society, gather the strength of the prefectures and counties, and then use the power of the whole country to go west to the king of Qin to fight for Dong.

A complete Luoyang is the cornerstone of the revitalization of the community and the source of strength for the revitalization of the community. What we need is to defend it, not destroy it.

The generals were silent. Koji Yoshi's face was ashamed. When I said goodbye to the eldest princess and the princess, the eldest princess and several adults repeatedly instructed me to proceed from the overall situation, and not to use troops hastily for a momentary pleasure.

I also ask you to think about the community, think about the people in the world, and then think about how to use the army. Although the purpose of our use of troops now is the same as that of the past, which is to defend the community, today we are fighting our own people.

In the past, we were unanimous in attacking Hu people, so the strategy and method of using troops had to be changed.

I will change, and you will change it.

"This year's reorganization of the army is not only an adjustment of the military structure, but also an adjustment of the strategy of officers at all levels in the use of troops. Everyone should think about how to work hard and how to revitalize the society. "In December, Nanyang, Wancheng.

Yuan Shu was very surprised when he heard that Liu He had arrived in Nanyang. Hasn't Liu He always been by the eldest princess's side? Why did you suddenly appear in Nanyang?

Liu He's hair and beard were messy, his clothes were ragged, and he was very embarrassed. He and Yuan Shu had a good relationship when they were in Luoyang, and after meeting, without saying a word, he first asked Yuan Shu to serve wine and food, and he wanted to eat.

Liu He gobbled it up and told the truth of the matter. This summer, he and Zhu Mu went to Chang'an together.

His purpose was to ask the Son of Heaven for a copy of King Qin's holy decree to ask for Dong on behalf of the princess, but the Son of Heaven was young, and the Son of Heaven was surrounded by Dong Zhuo's people, and Liu He couldn't see the Son of Heaven at all, let alone ask for any holy decree from the Son of Heaven.

So he went to see Zhao Qian, the chief lieutenant, and said that he had brought a letter from the princess to the Son of Heaven and wanted to present the Son of Heaven with his own hands.

Taiwei Zhao Qian immediately invited the Son of Heaven and Xiangguo Dong Zhuo, saying that Liu He, the former guard captain, had arrived in Beijing, and there was a letter from the princess that needed to be presented.

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed and immediately ordered Liu He to enter the palace to meet him. Liu He also prepared an ordinary letter from the princess greeting the Son of Heaven.

After Dong Zhuo personally inspected this letter, it was personally presented to the Son of Heaven by Liu He. When the Son of Heaven got the news of his sister, Long Yan Dayue, immediately returned to the princess, and asked Liu He to send him back to Jinyang immediately.

Liu He was stupid at the time. Dong Zhuo spoke at this time, he said that Liu He was talented, he was a guard lieutenant when he was the first emperor, and since he returned to Beijing this time, he should not leave, and he should serve in the court.

Liu He is the son of Liu Yu, and leaving Liu He in the capital can be regarded as a hostage and can threaten Liu Yu.

Of course Dong Zhuo wouldn't let him go. The Son of Heaven also knew Liu He in the past and knew that he was good at calligraphy and painting, and the first emperor liked him very much when he was alive.

The Son of Heaven happily agreed, worshiped him as a servant, accompanied by the attendant, and could also ask for advice on calligraphy and painting in his spare time.

In October, the Son of Heaven asked him to teach calligraphy and painting skills one day, and he and the Son of Heaven were the only two in the imperial study.

Liu He took advantage of this rare opportunity to present the princess's secret letter to the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven saw it, he was terrified,

"All these crimes were committed by Lord Xiangguo?" Liu He didn't want to explain, so he only said one sentence,

"Your Majesty is the eldest princess and a sister, how could she lie to you? Did the eldest princess lie to Your Majesty? The Son of Heaven shook his head.

He trusts his sister, since his sister said that Dong Zhuo is heinous and the best of the country, then Dong Zhuo must be.

Although Dong Zhuo is very kind to himself, very respectful, and almost obedient, as far as he knows, those ** people in the Great Han Kingdom, such as Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others, are better for themselves.

**Pigtail himself is not necessarily a bad person, the reason why Pigtail becomes**Pigtail is because they have done things that have harmed the country and the people.

The Son of Heaven was still stunned, but Liu He threw the letter into the brazier and burned it with his hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, this thing can't be kept. Your Majesty is surrounded by Dong Zhuo's people, if this matter is known by Dong Zhuo, Your Majesty will be in trouble. The Son of Heaven was taken aback by Liu He's actions and looked terrified.

Liu He then took out the holy decree he had already prepared and handed it to the Son of Heaven,

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince will come to Chang'an with a large army to rescue you, but because there is no holy decree from Your Majesty, you cannot command the army of the hussar general, so the minister implores Your Majesty to ......" Liu He hopes that the Son of Heaven can find a way to stamp this holy decree.

The Son of Heaven shook his head, since he moved to Chang'an, he had never seen the seal again. He didn't know where the seal was.

Liu He had no choice but to tell the Son of Heaven to keep it secret, this matter is related to the lives of the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess, and to the survival of the Han River, and cannot be treated as a child's play.

The Son of Heaven nodded again and again as if he didn't understand. Liu He left the palace disappointed. He didn't expect to stamp the emperor's letter seal (for sending troops) on this holy decree, and this important seal must be controlled by Dong Zhuo.

But what he never expected was that Dong Zhuo actually took away the Emperor's Seal (used to give the princes' book) and the Son of Heaven's Seal (used to do things, heaven, earth, ghosts and gods) that the Son of Heaven carried with him.

Liu He was discouraged and ran to his colleague's house to drink a drunken crime. If you drink too much, you will inevitably lose control.

Liu He accidentally leaked secrets. After waking up the next day, Liu He was pleasantly surprised to find that Chongji had brought him a blank holy decree covered with the emperor's seal.

Liu He suddenly realized that he had leaked the secret, and he couldn't help but be distracted. Chongji smiled and said, don't worry, I know about this.

Don't drink next time, it's too dangerous. Dong Zhuo trusts me very much now, and I know many things in Xiangguo's mansion clearly.

The seals are all in Dong Zhuo's hands, and when he was not in Chang'an, he left a few blank holy decrees for Liu Ai in case of urgent need.

Liu Ainai and I are good friends, as long as I have enough reasons, it is still okay to ask him for a blank holy decree.

You go quickly, after handing over this blank decree to the eldest princess, you can write whatever you want. Liu He was so excited that he escaped from Chang'an City with his attendants on the same day.

Because Li Hong and Dong Zhuo had broken up, all the roads to Hedong were blocked, so Liu He tried many ways but failed to cross the Yellow River.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was becoming more and more dangerous to stay in Guanzhong, Liu He immediately decided to go south out of Wuguan, first to Nanyang, and then go around a big *** back to Jinyang.

Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu were also fighting. And the fighting was fierce, and the Wuguan was also blocked. Liu and his attendants had no choice but to go over the mountains and mountains.

suffered a lot along the way, and when they arrived in Wancheng, the group was already a complete outcast.

Yuan Shu laughed,

"Zi'an, if you die this time, but you die in vain, it is worthless." Yuan Shu immediately told the eldest princess about the establishment of the dynasty in Jinyang and the fact that the princess Liu Yu went south to the Jinyang court to govern.

Liu He looked at him suspiciously,

"Really? You're not going to make fun of me, are you? ”

"Although I haven't received news from Jinyang yet, Tian Chou of the Hussar General's Mansion shouldn't lie to me." Yuan Shu said with a smile,

Tian Chou said that at the beginning of December, the eldest princess was going to build a dynasty in Jinyang. If he's right, I'll be able to get the news after the New Year. Liu He was very excited, pointed to the blank holy decree in his arms and said, "Then this holy decree will be priceless." With this edict from the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess can justifiably act on behalf of the Son of Heaven, she can worship the ministers and hundreds of officials, and the Jinyang court can completely replace the Chang'an court. Great, I'll leave right away. Yuan Shu smiled: "In my opinion, you should stay in Nanyang for the time being." At present, Dong Zhuo's army is fighting with the armies of Sun Jian, Kong Ling, and Ji Ling in the area of Luyang and Yangzhai, and the road is very dangerous. Then he explained to Liu He that the hussar general Li Hong was going to attack Luoyang, and planned an attack strategy of attacking from three sides and winning in the middle.

"After taking Luoyang, the Jinyang court will definitely move back to Kyoto, so you don't have to risk your life and death to travel long distances. You can stay here, and in the future, you can go directly to Beijing to read the decree of the Son of Heaven to the eldest princess. "Liu He thinks about it too.

If something happens on the way, this trip is really in vain, and I don't know who this blank holy decree is.

In December, Jizhou, Yecheng. After Han Fu returned to Jizhou, he immediately received a letter from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao said in his letter that when today's son was not from the first emperor, the imperial system was usurped, the first emperor was humiliated, and the court was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, which was nothing.

Although the eldest princess built another court in Jinyang, the country could not be without a monarch for a day. In order to eradicate the ** Yu as soon as possible, quell the rebellion, and revitalize the community, I and Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi and more than a dozen state and county officials are ready to support Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor and rebuild the imperial court.

I implore Brother Wenjie to take the Han Dynasty as the priority, make up his mind as soon as possible, and participate in the big move together. Han Fu was very shocked, uneasy in his heart, and undecided.

As early as the beginning of the year, Yuan Shao and he discussed together that if the court against Dong was successful, the imperial throne should be inherited by the vassal king.

However, due to the reluctance of the hussar general Li Hong to send troops to fight against Dong, the matter was immediately shelved. Now that Li Hong has sent troops to fight against Dong, and the eldest princess has also established a dynasty in Jinyang, everything seems to be starting to get on the right track, but at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly came out, and united with other state and county officials to demand the deposition of the son of today and the rebuilding of the imperial system, isn't this nothing to do?

Yuan Shao once again reiterated the reason why he wanted to depose the emperor and rebuild the imperial system. These reasons seem to be high-sounding on the surface, but in the final analysis, they are afraid that they will deliberately retaliate in the future and kill the entire Yuan clan and the ministers who did the incident in the first place.

Yuan Shao also listed in detail the benefits of Liu Yu's succession to the imperial throne and his ascension to the throne, but under this series of flowery words, Han Fu saw not the revitalization of the society, but the chaos and blood.

Han Fu was timid, he thought about it again and again, and couldn't make up his mind. Several cronies and subordinates in the government also have different opinions on this matter.

Liu Gong said that Liu Yu and adults have been friends for many years, and adults should know very well who he is. Liu Yu is only a clan, not a vassal king, he is not qualified to inherit the imperial lineage at all, and it is impossible for him to agree to be the emperor.

Yuan Shao's move obviously had ulterior motives.

"What does Yuan Shao want to do?"

"He wants to control the eldest princess and the Jinyang court." The judge said,

"Now, regardless of whether the adults agree to this matter or not, Yuan Shao and the officials of Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu and other prefectures and counties will send envoys to Jinyang to demand that Liu Yu be supported as emperor. My lord, think about it, after this incident, can Liu Yu still stay in charge of the DPRK and China? He will definitely leave Jinyang. After Liu Yu left Jinyang, the successor to Liu Yu must be you. In other words, everyone will think that all this is manipulated by the adults behind their backs, and the adults want to monopolize the power of the Jinyang Imperial Court. After this rumor spreads, can adults still go to Jinyang to govern? In order to show his innocence, the adult had to give up. And then what? Then the prefectures and counties would recommend Yuan Shao to the Jinyang court to govern. ”

"That's where the problem comes in. The hussar general needs food and salary to fight Luoyang, and he will definitely be able to accept the lord to take charge of Jinyang, but Yuan Shao can't. What qualifications does Yuan Shao have to govern in Jinyang? He's just a Taishou of Bohai County. As a result, the Jinyang court became a hussar general. If the hussar general is in charge, no one in the prefectures and counties of the world will be willing to obey, including you. In this way, good things become bad things, and the social system is even more chaotic. Are adults willing to watch the collapse of the society? ”

"Therefore, there is no need for your lordship to hesitate, and you can directly make your attitude clear to the Jinyang Imperial Court. The rise and fall of Jizhou Guansheji, of course, the authority of the state should be in charge of adults. Han Fu's heart moved.
