The autumn breeze is bleak and the weather is cool. The grass and trees are shaken off, and the white dew is frost.

Several groups of flying swallows resigned, and a line of birds flew south.

On the desolate land of Bingzhou, there was a group of four people riding eastward, all dressed in black robes and black armor, looking like a servant of the wind and dust, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, four long shadows were pulled.

"My lord, this time the Son of Heaven asked you to go to the Xiongnu, but you went to the state without a single soldier, will there be anything wrong?" A young man of about fifteen or sixteen whipped the horse's buttocks, raised his speed, and looked at the big man at the head.

"Hahaha!"

The tall and tall man didn't look back, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "One soldier is a bear, and there will be a nest of bears." The soldiers and horses of Bingzhou were not weaker than our Xiliang warriors, but the generals were incompetent, the troops were incompetent, and they could not make good use of the virtuous people, so they would naturally be beaten by the Huns.

A certain family once served as the Guangwu Commander of Yanmen County, and also served as the history of the state assassin, so it is naturally clear that there are many brave and good people in the state, but the previous history of the state assassin cannot know how to make good use of it, otherwise how could it be such a fiasco! ”

"One general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies!" A young man who was almost twenty years old on the left side of the big man snorted coldly, obviously disdainful of the generals of the state.

The little ghost head who was about ten years old at the end smiled with a handsome little face, and said, "I can't say that, if it weren't for the fact that those officials in the state were not angry and lost the battle repeatedly, the court would not let the lord lead the state pastor and command the war in the north, this is a credit that fell from the sky, what a good thing!" ”

These four people are Dong Zhuo, who was transferred to the state pastor by the order of the Son of Heaven, and Dong Huang, Zhang Xiu, and Ma Chao who accompanied him.

It is the autumn of the third year of Zhongping, and it has been half a year since Dong Zhuo and Liu Xing, the princess of Anyang, got married.

This year, Xiliang is still relatively smooth, until the summer harvest, are the wind and rain, in order to show benevolence, to gain the hearts of the people, Dong Zhuo ordered to exempt the counties of Liangzhou from taxes for a year, the people and the family of the strong and powerful ran to tell each other, the people gathered in front of the city gate notice, clapping hands to celebrate, even formed a scene of thousands of empty alleys, at this time, Dong Zhuo is completely in Liangzhou to gain a firm foothold.

The Tuntian system vigorously promoted by Dong Zhuo has received very good results and has gained a lot, especially in the Jingshui Basin, which is in charge of Xu Huang, the captain of Tuntian, due to the fertile water and soil, the wind and rain are smooth, and the harvest is even better than Dong Zhuo and expected, and the grain and grass harvested in the Jingshui Basin alone are enough for the 30,000 troops to spend on a year's expedition.

However, just as Dong Zhuo was about to draw his sword to the west, and the Flying Bear Army was pointing directly at the Western Regions, the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived.

In the three years of Zhongping, this is a good year for Dong Zhuo, who is in a corner of peace and wants to develop steadily. First in the spring, Dong Zhuo married Liu Xing, the eldest princess of Anyang, the daughter of Emperor Huan of the first emperor. In the summer, Xiliang had a good harvest, even if Dong Zhuo exempted Xiliang from taxes, Dong Zhuo was still able to barely feed an army of 100,000. In the autumn, Dong Zhuo was even more prepared to personally lead the elite of the 3,000 Flying Bear Army, intending to level the countries of the Western Regions and reopen the Silk Road, so as to promote the rapid development of the Xiliang economy.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Hwa-woong finally got his wish and married Chae-un, the sister of the northern Taishou Lee In-hyo, in May. It was at this time that Dong Zhuo saw the beauty that Huaxiong thought about day and night, the little girl was delicate and refined, Dong Zhuo once praised her "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving." ”

In August, Dong Zhuo's second daughter, Dong Xuan and Lu, after more than a year, Jiuquan Taishou Gao Shun finally got a beauty.

But for Liu Hong, the son of the Han Dynasty who also prayed for stability, the three years of Zhongping were not a good year, it was simply terrible.

First of all, there was a severe drought in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other areas in the Central Plains, and there was not a drop of rain for several months, there was a locust plague, and there was no harvest of grain grains.

Immediately afterwards, the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion resurgence in various places, the White Wave Thieves in Hanoi, Hedong, the Taishan Thieves in Yanzhou, the Black Mountain Thieves in Jizhou, and the aftermath of the Yellow Turbans from all walks of life, large and small, added up to dozens of troops and horses, millions of people, all over the Kanto Prefectures, attacking cities and conquering places, attacking officials and troops, with great momentum and no one for a while.

Next, Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Wu Huan and others from Yuyang County, Youzhou rebelled. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun led the army to rob Jizhong, killed and protected Wuhuan Captain Gong Qichou, Youbeiping Taishou Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yangzhong and others, gathered more than 100,000 people, and plundered Youzhou and Jizhou. Zhang Ju proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Chun proclaimed himself General Mitian.

(Note: In history, Yuyang Zhang Chun Zhang Ju's rebellion was four years in Zhongping, because of the need for plot development, it was advanced by one year, I hope the brothers don't mind.) ）

This is not the end, immediately afterwards, the imperial court received the Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao Zhang, Changsha County native Qu Xing proclaimed himself a general, gathered more than 10,000 people, attacked the county, and raised troops against the Han.

(Note: Ibid., the Star Uprising in Changsha District was also four years in Zhongping, and Lao Qin was one year ahead of schedule.) ）

Coupled with the Huns who rebelled last year, the whole Han country is really in turmoil, turbulent, scared the son of heaven Liu Hong day and night, has no intention of taking care of the government, and even has the idea of passing the throne to the emperor's eldest son Liu Wei, and he will return to the deep palace to enjoy himself, fortunately, as soon as this idea arises, he was strangled in the cradle by Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong persuaded hard, a nonsense, saying that although the world is chaotic, but it is a small matter, with His Majesty's royal suppression, it will be safe and sound, if a new monarch is established, it will lead to complete turmoil in the world, The Great Han River and Mountains were overturned, and Emperor Han Ling gave up that ridiculous idea!

Just kidding, Zhang Rang is like a mirror in his heart, he knows very well that if the Son of Heaven abdicates, the first to die is him Zhang Rang, before Zhang Rang fought with He Jin to the death, the two sides are like fire and water, who dares to guarantee that after the emperor's eldest son Liu Wei ascends the throne, He Jin will be in power and can spare him Zhang Rang.

The wolf smoke swarmed everywhere, and the Han court was helpless, so it sent generals to fight the thieves, and the generals and eunuchs launched a desperate struggle again. Zhang Rang was bent on cutting off the power of the general He Jin in the capital, and constantly troubled Yuan Shao and others who were attached to He Jin, and took the opportunity to send them to various prefectures and counties.

Hu Ben Zhonglang sent Yuan Shu to Yangzhou and served as the assassin of Yangzhou, responsible for clearing the remnants of the local Yellow Turban.

Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, was assigned to Yanzhou, and was reappointed as the Taishou of Dongjun to assist Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, in his crusade against the Yellow Turban Army of Taishan.

Sun Jian, the lieutenant of the lower military colonel, was sent to Jingzhou and served as the Taishou of Changsha, responsible for recruiting village warriors and crusading against the Star Rebel Army in Changsha District.

Yuan Shao, the military captain of Si Li, was the most miserable, and was accused by Zhang Rang of poor supervision and dereliction of duty, but the Gyeonggi Baibo thieves plundered and was demoted to the Bohai Taishou, assisting Jizhou Assassin Shi Han Fu to crusade against Zhang Yan's black mountain thieves.

Since then, the soldiers and horses of Luoyang Xiyuan have been completely controlled by the Ten Standing Attendants, and the general He Jin has been unable to mobilize a single soldier in the court.

Of course He Jin was unwilling, but the problem was that Zhang Rang kept claiming that it was for the sake of the Han family, if he didn't agree, wouldn't he be disloyal to the Han family, no one could afford to wear this big hat, He Jin could only admit it. Fortunately, Li Ru persuaded He Jin, saying that he was waiting for the generals to develop their forces outside, and when the time came, the generals raised their arms and shouted, and the princes from all walks of life in the world gathered to follow the shadows, and they all responded to the king of soldiers.

Of course, He Jin was not idle, under Li Ru's planning, He Jin signaled Zongzheng Liu Yan to invite the Son of Heaven to ask for the restart of the state pastoral system and the selection of prestigious ministers to guard the states and counties.

Liu Yan invited himself to be the pastor of Yizhou.

Zongzheng and Liu Yu were appointed as Youzhou Mu, responsible for suppressing the rebellion of Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others.

What Dong Zhuo and Li Ru did not expect was that Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Liangzhou, was personally ordered by the Son of Heaven to be promoted to the general of the expedition to the west because of his meritorious service in pacifying the rebellion of Han Sui in Bianzhang and resisting the Xiongnu, and was responsible for the crusade against the rebellious Huns.

Dong Zhuo had no choice but to go to the table of the Son of Heaven, and to watch Zhang Ye Taishou Gaixun as the assassin of Liangzhou, and led Jiuquan Taishou Gao Shun and Dunhuang Taishou Han Sui to continue to attack the countries of the Western Regions according to the plan, and he led Dong Huang, Zhang Xiu, and Ma Chao to Bingzhou.

In addition, under Li Ru's deliberate arrangement, Xu Rong was transferred to Hedong Taishou, responsible for crusading against the white wave thieves in Hanoi, Hedong and other places.

Huaxiong was also relocated to the right side of the wind, and led 30,000 flying bear troops to guard the right side of the wind. At this point, the right wind was finally rightfully incorporated into the hands of the action.
