Yuan Shao secretly thought in his heart, in the past, Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne was successful because Wang Mang's various reforms were all against the powerful families with vested interests, how can he be undefeated, as long as I Yuan Benchu acted in the interests of the powerful families, I will definitely be able to ascend to the throne, not to mention that now all the families in the world are looking forward to my Yuan Benchu, presumably my ascension to the throne and becoming the emperor will be accepted by them logically.

Obviously, now in front of Yuan Shao, the only one who is blocking him from ascending the throne and becoming emperor is Jin Liang, as long as he defeats Jin Liang and captures Luoyang City, he can justifiably ascend the throne and become emperor.

Yuan Shao thinks very well, but he can't help but think that everyone in the world is too simple, now he is a banner of the family, representing the interests of the family to confront Jin Liang, but he can also win the support of most of the family, but once he vainly tries to ascend the throne and become the emperor, will those family figures who were originally driven by him still support him? Yuan Shao was full of confidence, but Jin Liang knew very well that Yuan Shao, a miserable guy, estimated that his fate would not be much better than that of his younger brother Yuan Shu and descendant Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shao finally got the accurate news from Luoyang, and the news arrived in Xiangyang with Yan Xing.

After Yan Xing escaped from Luoyang City, he went all the way to the south, straight to Wancheng in Nanyang County, Li Su and Wu Kuang sent troops to chase and kill at the tail of the rear, and when Yan Xing arrived in Wancheng, there were less than 2,000 Jincheng soldiers left under his command.

The general Chun Yuqiong under Yuan Shao who guarded Wancheng saw the smoke and dust rising in the north, thinking that Dong Zhuo was coming, and hurriedly ordered people to take defensive measures.

When Yan Xing arrived at the city, Chun Yuqiong saw the embarrassed appearance of Yan Xing's two thousand men and horses who lost their armor and collapsed into an army.

Yan Xing told Chun Yuqiong everything that had happened in Luoyang City in the past two days, saying that he wanted to come to Yuan Shao.

Chun Yuqiong suspected that this was a trick to surrender, and did not dare to be self-conscious, so she hurriedly sent someone to pass on Yuan Shao, who was in Xiangyang.

Yuan Shao gathered the civil and military ministers, everyone said to wait for the news from Luoyang, it turned out that Yuan Shao's adviser Guo Tu also installed a fine work in Luoyang, half a day later, the fine work in Luoyang came with accurate news, Jin Liang did take advantage of the internal changes in Luoyang to attack Luoyang City and take advantage of the situation to control the Sili area, Yuan Shao only then determined that the palace maid and Xun You said was true, Yuan Shao did not reflect on Guo Tu's placement of the fine work there to deliver the news so slowly, he just shot the case and shouted: "Jin Liang can not be controlled!" ”

In the past, although Yuan Shao was afraid of Jin Liang's military might, he thought that Jin Liang was only acting in Bingzhou and Jizhou, and he was not worried, but now it seems that Jin Liang not only controlled Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Shuozhou, but also controlled the Sili region, and the power was so big that it was unstoppable, and it was definitely the number one enemy of his Yuan Shao seeking to seize the world, and he had to mention the spirit of twelve points to deal with it.

Feng Ji, a strategist under Yuan Shao, hurriedly picked up Xun You's tooth and said: "Lord, Jin Liang has newly won Luoyang, and his foothold is not stable, we can take the opportunity to send troops to attack Luoyang, and we will definitely be able to greatly defeat Jin Liang's spirit!" ”

The other strategists also reached a rare agreement to let Yuan Shao send troops to attack Luoyang.

When Yuan Shao was about to send troops, he reported urgently: "Jiangxia is too guarded by Huang Zu to report urgently, Jiangdong Sun Ce waved his troops to attack Jiangxia, and I hope that the lord will send reinforcements quickly!" ”

It turned out that Sun Ce borrowed 10,000 horses from Jin Liang, and got Jin Liang's guidance and support, the soldiers were full of food, weapons and horses, and found many good talents from Jiangdong himself, Sun Ce first got Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and his good friend Zhou Yu helped, and then got Wenchen Gu Yong, Zhang Wen, Wu Cang, Yu Fu and military generals Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zhu Huan, Ling Cao, He Qi, Chen Wu and others.

Sun Ce used Zhou Yu's strategy to first take advantage of the disagreement between Wu County's Taishou Sheng Xian and Wu County's Governor Xu Gong to break them all, Sheng Xian died in battle, Xu Gong temporarily surrendered, and Sun Ce quickly pacified Wu County's Yan Baihu, Zou Ta, Qian Tong, Xu Zhao and other large and small forces, and pacified Wu County.

Based on Wu County, Sun Ce defeated Liu Xuan, the puppet assassin of Yangzhou, and defeated Zhou Xin, the Taishou of Danyang, who came to help Liu Xuan, and took the opportunity to seize Danyang County, and now the entire Yangzhou region, except for Lujiang County, which was occupied by Yuan Shu, and the demobilized and vast Huiji County ruled by Wang Lang, Sun Ce has occupied half of Jiangdong.

The reason why Sun Ce was able to do what it took him three years to do in history in one year was because of Jin Liang's strong support for him, Jin Liang gave him 10,000 horses far more than the 3,000 men and horses he borrowed from Yuan Shu in history, Jin Liang also gave him plenty of weapons, armor, mounts, food and grass, and also pointed out the talents that Jiangdong could recruit, so Sun Ce developed so fast.

The Taishou of Yuzhang County in the upper reaches of Danyang County is Zhu Jun's son Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao obeys the orders of the Xiangyang Imperial Court, Sun Ce cannot use troops against Zhu Hao for the time being, and can only cooperate with Zhu Hao to deal with other enemies.

When Jin Liang was seeking to capture Luoyang, he considered that Yuan Shao would take advantage of the fact that he had just seized Luoyang and sent troops to attack, so he sent people to convey military orders to Sun Ce and Zhu Hao in advance, asking them to attack Jiangxia County along the river.

As in the historical interpretation, at this time, Jiangxia Taishou is still Huang Zu, the reason why Huang Zu can be Jiangxia Taishou, because Jiangxia Huang family is the first family in Jiangxia, not to mention that Huang Wan of Jiangxia Huang family is now one of the top ten auxiliary ministers in Jinliang Xiangyang Imperial Court, only saying that Huang Zu does not talk about generals, only talks about fame, and is also famous, and once competed with Jin Liang for the position of Shangshu of the Xiangyang Imperial Court, Yuan Shao had to accept Huang Zu as Jiangxia Taishou in order to win over the Jiangxia Huang family, and let him guard Jiangxia with his son Huang Shot.

Sun Ce in this year, has developed from 10,000 horses to 50,000 horses, in order not to anger Jin Liang, continue to get assistance from Jin Liang, these 50,000 horses of the middle and lower level officers are all selected from the original Jin Liang sent out of 10,000 horses, Jiangdong Corps basically also followed the establishment and style of the Central Army, strict discipline, tough style, plus half of the 50,000 horses are recruited from Danyang County, Danyang since ancient times the people are fierce, the Jiangdong Corps' combat power is much higher than the Jingzhou soldiers with soft folk customs, Sun Ce also obeyed Jin Liang's military order, leaving only 10,000 horses to Cheng Pu and Sun Jing to stay in the rear, and he and Zhou Yu each led 20,000 horses, up the river, and attacked Jiangxia.

Yuan Shao was shocked, Jiangxia is the east gate of Jingzhou, once Jiangxia is lost, Jingzhou will be like a woman undressed, must be ravaged by Sun Ce's Jiangdong Corps, Yuan Shao knows that Sun Ce has a grudge against himself to kill his father, in case Sun Ce captures Jiangxia, he will definitely kill Jingzhou, and the base he has managed to run will be greatly damaged.

Yuan Shao discussed with the strategists how to deal with it, because Yuan Shao didn't pay attention, and the group of strategists under his command once again fought together.

Feng Ji and Xian Pei advocated continuing to attack Luoyang City, they said, "Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are all yellow-haired boys who are not more than twenty years old, and they are expected to have any ability, Huang Zu is a famous general in Jingzhou, and he will be able to hold Jiangxia City, and now is a good opportunity to attack Luoyang. ”

Guo Tu, Xu You, and Xun Chen proposed to postpone the attack on Luoyang. Instead, they wanted to turn back to rescue Huang Zu, and they said, "Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can sweep Jiangdong within a year with a weak crown." It shows that although Huang Zu is a famous general, he is not a general, and he will be arrogant and lazy. is not Sun Ce's opponent, in case Sun Ce and Zhou Yu break through Jiangxia, the Jiangdong army invades the hinterland of Jingzhou, and if Luoyang cannot be captured at that time, it will be attacked by the enemy, the foundation will be unstable, and it will be extremely dangerous. ”

The strategists on both sides said that they were reasonable, and Yuan Shao was a short-witted and indecisive guy. He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to listen to both sides, divide his troops into two routes, attack Luoyang City all the way, and aid Jiangxia Huangzu all the way.

When Yuan Shao made such a balanced decision, the strategists under his command rarely unified their opinions and unanimously opposed them. Because the dispersion of troops is a taboo for soldiers, soldiers pay attention to concentrating their forces to break each one, and if they want to win on both sides, they will often return with a crushing defeat on both sides, and Yuan Shao was shocked this time. showed a rare decisiveness and said: "I have made up my mind, send troops in two directions!" ”

Yuan Shao's strategist Guo Tu was in charge of military intelligence, and from the information that Guo Tu had planted in Luoyang City, Yuan Shao found that Jin Liang had a meager army in Luoyang City, and Jin Liang seemed to have only dispatched thirty or forty thousand horses this time, and these more than 30,000 people and horses also had to monitor the Xiliang Army that was unstable, and the soldiers who could really be put into the front-line battlefield to fight against the Jingzhou Army were probably only 20,000 people.

The military intelligence organization that Guo Tu is in charge of has just been established for less than two years, and it is still created from scratch, compared with the dark department that Jin Liang instructed Guo Jia and Jia Xu to create for three years and inherit the Han royal secret agent wind-chasing organization, Guo Tu's military intelligence department is not half a star, Guo Jia and Jia Xu can proudly pat their chests and make a military order to Jin Liang and say: "The information that the lord wants Yuan Shao to know, we will definitely transmit it to Guo Tu, and the information that the lord does not want Yuan Shao to know, they don't want to know." ”

Jia Xu has been doing intelligence work for three years and has accumulated rich experience, this poisoner has given full play to his expertise in insight into people's hearts on this stage suitable for his own development, Yuan Shaoguo Tu has been in Luoyang City for less than a year, and they never dreamed that the dead soldiers raised by the Yuan family have been transformed into double agents.

Yuan Shao trusted Guo Tu very much, and was convinced of the information sent by his subordinates, because Jin Liang had always tried his best to hide his troops, so Yuan Shao never knew how many troops Jin Liang had now, nor did he know Jin Liang's real troop deployment, all he could know was that Jin Liang was willing to mislead him.

Yuan Shao knew from Guo Tu that Jin Liang's troops in the Luoyang area were only 20,000 people, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, because Jin Liang's performance in the Dong Alliance made Yuan Shao's heart palpitate, even if the Jingzhou army had been strictly trained for more than two years under Yuan Shao's strict supervision, Yuan Shao knew in his heart that the people of Jingzhou were soft, and most of them were gathered from the family's private soldiers, one-on-one, a Jingzhou soldier was definitely not the opponent of a central soldier, so Yuan Shao was ready to send an army of 100,000 to attack Luoyang City.

Yuan Shao now has an army of 300,000, of which 40,000 horses are in the hands of Huang Zu of Jiangxia County, 20,000 horses are led by the generals Jiang Yiqu and Jin Weihuang to fight the rebellious barbarians in Wuling County, 20,000 horses are guarded in Shangyong County to be the pastor of Yizhou Liu Yan, 30,000 horses are guarded in the west of Lujiang County to be the pastor of Yangzhou Yuan Shu, there are 20,000 horses led by Wen Chou to guard Yingchuan County and Runan County to deal with the increasingly rampant Huanggai and Weiyan guerrilla regiments, and 20,000 horses are left in big cities such as Xiangyang and Jiangling. The passes of other large and small cities had to be guarded by 20,000 people, and Yuan Shao was only able to mobilize 130,000 people.

Yuan Shao sent 30,000 horses led by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to support Huang Zu in Jiangxia to resist Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's 40,000 Jiangdong army.

On the way to attack Luoyang, Yuan Shao prepared to drive the expedition in person, he ordered the general Yan Liang to lead 20,000 horses as the forward, and the general Chun Yuqiong to lead 20,000 horses as the rear army, with 60,000 Chinese troops, ready to attack Luoyang City.

Yan Xing, who came to defect to Yuan Shao, thought that Yuan Shao would treat him like a guest, was very disappointed, because Yuan Shao thought that Yan Xing was a rough martial artist from Xiliang and was the same as Dong Zhuo, and did not have any gratitude to Yan Xing because Yan Xing killed Dong Zhuo to avenge his uncle Yuan Kui for him Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao thought that Yan Xing had been repeatedly defeated by Jin Liang, so he ignored Yan Xing's initiative to ask for help, and threw Yan Xing to Chun Yuqiong to be responsible for escorting grain and grass.

Yan Xing was deeply ashamed and was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, but there were only more than 2,000 Jincheng soldiers under Yan Xing's command, and he had to bow his head.

Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops were stationed in various places, and they had to rush to Wancheng, the administrative office of Nanyang County, to gather, and they needed to prepare grain and grass baggage, and it would take ten days for everyone to reorganize and reorganize, and in these ten days, Jin Liang had already received accurate information and was ready to attack.

Before the attack, it is necessary to eliminate the unstable factors, Jin Liang solved those families inside and outside Luoyang City who are very likely to collude with Yuan Shao, such as the Hongnong Yang family, and Jin Liang also has to solve the little emperor Liu Xie in the palace, Jin Liang originally wanted to wait until he left Luoyang and returned to Xiangyang to bring Liu Xie back, but now it seems that Liu Xie must be moved, otherwise this guy will be left in Luoyang City, and there will always be some remnants of the family who make a fuss about him.

Jin Liang led the army into the palace, and the thirteen-year-old Liu Xie, dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a dragon crown, trembled all over his body and staggered in front of the steps.

The palace had been controlled by the Central Army as early as ten days ago, and Jin Liang entered the palace this time by sitting on a red rabbit horse and breaking in arrogantly.

Jin Liang saw that Liu Xie was still standing there in a big way, so he raised the stone dragon broadsword and shouted: "The criminal minister Liu Xie, claiming the emperor without authorization, is a big rebellion, and he is not arrested?!" ”

Liu Xie looked up at Jin Liang, who was rising with murderous energy, straightened the dragon crown, forced his composure, and pretended to be majestic and said: "I am the Ninth Five-Year Honor of the Son of Heaven, you are a courtier, you dare to speak to me like this!" ”

Jin Liang arched his hand in the direction of Xiangyang and said: "There is only one Son of Heaven in the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven is in Xiangyang, and you are just a puppet puppet emperor who was held hostage by a group of rebellious ministers. ”

Jin Liang didn't want to kill Liu Xie, he wouldn't learn from Wu Sangui, who strangled Emperor Yongli to death with a bowstring and became infamous through the ages. Although Jin Liang is known as Shang's father, he is also a courtier, although Liu Xie is a puppet emperor, he is also a member of the royal family, if Liu Xie is executed, it is against the foundation of the people, and the government and the opposition must have a lot of slander and discussion, or Liu Xie will be handed over to Liu Xie, regardless of whether his brother Liu Wei will execute his younger brother Liu Xie, it is an internal matter of their Liu Han royal family, and Jin Liang's reputation can be guaranteed.

Liu Xie also pretended to be the Son of Heaven, Jin Liang's stone dragon broadsword was already resting on his neck and said: "Liu Xie, my father has given you ten days, and you still don't realize it, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun, Wang Yun was executed by this father, and those ministers of the family who supported your position were all tied up and ready to be escorted to Xiangyang." Your dream of the Son of Heaven is shattered, so let's obediently go to Xiangyang to see your imperial brother and beg him to spare your life. ”

Liu Xie still stood there with his head held high, refusing to kneel down to Jin Liang, Jin Liang was angry, lifted the stone dragon broadsword, and prepared to teach Liu Xie a lesson.

Seeing that Jin Liang's halberd was about to fall on Liu Xie, a wound fell on his thin body, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old stunning girl suddenly sprang out from behind Liu Xie, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Jin Liang: "General, this palace begs you to give the emperor the last bit of face!" ”

Jin Liang's eyes lit up suddenly, this woman was not tall, a head and a half shorter than Jin Liang, her face was also small, it was the legendary slap face, the willow eyebrows were thin and curved, her eyes were big and watery, and the cherry mouth under her delicate and small Qiong nose was also very small, but her lips were unconsciously pursed, so that Jin Liang couldn't help but feel an urge to cover her small mouth with her big mouth.

The queen's dress with a phoenix crown and a veil is too wide for a fourteen-year-old girl, but it also makes her extraordinarily petite and moving, and her overall impression of Jin Liang is a fragrant pendant, delicate and lovely, and she can't see the majesty of the mother's world at all.

When she cried, she was like a pear blossom with rain, which made Jin Liang's heart rise a trace of pity.

Jin Liang thought of this girl, it should be the queen Fushou who Liu Xie married into the palace at the beginning of this year.

Just now Jin Liang did a struggle of thought outside the palace gate, he not only wanted to make Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Xian Dynasty kneel in front of his horse and give in, and experience the feeling of the royal family of Weifu Liu Han, but also a little worried that the public opinion of the family would not want to enter the palace and send someone into the palace to directly bind Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty to Xiangyang, after thinking about it, he finally decided to come to the palace in person.

Looking at the delicate and lovely Queen Fu in front of him, Jin Liang secretly said in his heart, this time he came to the right place, if he hadn't entered the palace to see Queen Fu in person, he really forgot about this beautiful little queen, after all, Emperor Liu Xie's Queen Fu and Concubine Dong Guifei were killed by Cao Cao and sadly carried the annals of history, Jin Liang really forgot that they were stunning beauties for a while.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty saw Jin Liang's greedy gaze on Empress Fushou, and he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly shouted: "Queen, hide quickly!" ”
