A brilliant blueprint was drawn from Jin Liang's hands, and Jin Liang couldn't help but be high-spirited, and he couldn't live forever.

But he quickly calmed down, and he thought of a guy who was also happy and finally failed to die without a place to be buried, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui.

What Jin Liang is most vigilant about is that as a traverser, the most easy mistake he makes is to be happy.

What Jin Liang is now preparing to do is to weaken the family gate valve and replace it with the imperial examination bureaucracy, in fact, to put what Yang Guang and Wu Zetian did in later generations in advance in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but Jin Liang is not ready to implement it immediately, he gave himself 20 years, the national education is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone in the Han Dynasty knows how to read, and then the imperial examination can be carried out, so as to win a big victory.

When Jin Liang was making a long-term plan centered on Luoyang City, the remaining problems in Luoyang City were also being solved in an orderly manner.

Wang Yun, Yang Zhan, Shisun Rui and other family ministers were defeated, these family ministers were captured, Wang Yun's head was taken by Guo Jia to comfort the Xiliang army, Guo Jia, Jia Xu The two big lobbyists said that Dong Yue and Niu Fu were surrendered, and the Xiliang army returned to Jinliang.

Yang Zhan, Tusun Rui and other ministers of the family were loaded into a prison car, escorted to Xiangyang, handed over to Liu Bian, although Liu Bian is a very peaceful monarch, but also does not allow others to touch his throne, he to Yang Zhan, Shi Sun Rui and other Luoyang family ministers set up the crime of unauthorized puppet emperor Liu Xie, following the rebel minister Dong Zhuo to rebel, the crime is extremely heinous, all sentenced to Ling Chi.

More than 2,000 of the family soldiers of these family ministers died in the war, and the remaining more than 12,000 people all surrendered to the Central Army, according to the strict standards of the Central Army, only 2,000 people were selected to join the county soldiers of Henan County, and 4,000 people were selected into the county soldiers, and the rest were incorporated into the Sizhou Construction Corps of the Central Army, of which more than 1,000 evil servants followed the male families of the family ministers into the labor reform brigade of the Construction Corps to receive a hundred years of labor reform, the female families of those evil servants and the direct female families of the family ministers, The ugly ones were assigned to the labor reform brigade, and the beautiful ones were incorporated into the Red Powder Battalion of the Central Army or into the Qinglou, the Immortal Courtyard, and the Forget Worries Hall managed by Traces.

Half of all the materials seized from the Xiliang army were retained by the Central Army, and the rest were distributed to all the Xiliang troops who surrendered and accepted the reorganization, and all the property seized from the ministers of the family was auctioned on the spot. The proceeds of the auction plus the original gold, silver and silk were divided into five parts. One was handed over to the royal family for the repair of the palace, one was handed over to the Sizhou Construction Corps for the repair of Luoyang City, one was left in the Central Army as a reward, one was handed over to all the local soldiers in Sizhou who surrendered and accepted the reorganization as a reward, and the last one was deposited in the central bank in Luoyang City.

Jin Liang coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and this time he used the crime personally designated by Liu Wei to "set up the puppet emperor Liu Xie without authorization, and followed the rebel minister Dong Zhuo to rebel" to purge the clans in Sizhou, and all the families who refused to belong to Jin Liang and refused to hand over the family soldiers to the Central Army for reorganization were eliminated by the Central Army and the attached Sizhou Corps. The funds obtained from the family were intended to be used by Jin Liang to build straight roads, gallop roads, canals, and open up the land and sea Silk Road, in exchange for the well-being of most of the people of the Han Dynasty at the expense of the interests of the oligarchs of the family. It's what Jin Liang has been doing.

However, Yuan Shao, who was born in the Yuan family of Runan, the first family, had a political philosophy that was diametrically opposed to Jin Liang's, and he wanted to ensure the interests of a few families at the expense of the majority of the Han people, and the conflict between them was on the verge of breaking out under the impetus of those families.

Jin Liang knew that Yuan Shao now had 300,000 troops, and he couldn't defeat him in a hurry, and Jin Liang's Jizhou still had Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Du behind him. Luoyang could not be safe, and the Son of Heaven Liu Biao could not return the capital to Luoyang, so Jin Liang sent a table to the Son of Heaven Liu Biao, requesting that Sizhou be temporarily established to govern the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

With a stroke of the pen, Jin Liang divided Henan Yin into two, bounded by Hugao Pass, Xingyang County to the east, Henan County to the west, and changed Jingzhao Yin, where Chang'an is located, to Jingzhao County, and Nanyang County, which had always belonged to Jingzhou, and Yingchuan County, which had always belonged to Yuzhou, were assigned to the boundary of Sizhou. In this way, Sizhou has jurisdiction over eight counties: Henan County, Xingyang County, Jingzhao County, Youfufeng County, Zuofeng County, Hongnong County, Nanyang County, and Yingchuan County.

The reason why Nanyang County and Yingchuan County were assigned to Sizhou was completely to disgust and curb Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou, because most of Nanyang County and Yingchuan County were now controlled by Yuan Shao, and Jin Liang wanted to ensure the safety of Luoyang, so he had to take Nanyang County and Yingchuan County over.

Jin Liang recommended Zhu Jun, the former pastor of the state, as the pastor of Sizhou. Zhu Jun led more than 10,000 people from his headquarters out of Luoyang City, and took Luyang as the seat of Sizhou. Hold Luyang, block Yuan Shao to go north, Jin Liang and the former Shuozhou general Zhang Liao as the general of Sizhou, Li Su and Wu Kuang as Zhang Liao's deputies, Li Su guarded Hongnong County, Wu Kuang guarded Xingyang County, and Zhang Liao led the headquarters to guard Luoyang City.

Hao Zhao, who was the best at defense, defended the southern four passes of Luoyang Eight Passes, in order to be Yuan Shao's northward advance.

One of them is Yique Pass, that is, the mouth of Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan in the south of Luoyang, in which the valley is connected, the two mountains are sandwiched, the Yi River flows through it, it is Luoyang to the south, Ru Ying must pass through the north, the liberation of Luoyang in later generations, is also the first to take Yique, and then capture Luoyang, Hao Zhao led 4,000 men and horses to guard Yique Pass. At the site, there is a magnificent and simple arch bridge, which connects the two mountains as a whole.

The second is Guangcheng Pass, located in the south of Guangcheng Yuan placed by Han Guangwu, so it is named, the world is called "two mountains and one river", its northeast has Changworm Mountain, Niangniang Mountain, Monk Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, Panlong Mountain, southwest has Dama Mountain, Dahuling, since ancient times it is the fortress leading to Jingchu, near Guangcheng Pass, there is Guangchengze, four hundred miles around, the water flows out of Langgao Mountain, flows into Rushui in the southeast, goes north to Jingluo from Jingxiang, here is the place that must pass.

The third is the big valley pass, it is the valley between Songshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain, the valley is 30 miles deep, the two sides of the deep valley, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the stream is murmuring, the peaks are cut up, the shrubs are thick, this valley is a gateway in front of the capital city of Luoyang. There are Niuxin Mountain, Niuzui Mountain, Laoyangpo, Crooked Mouth Mountain, Dafeng Mountain, etc., the peaks and peaks are undulating, and the situation is natural. During the war, it can ambush heavy troops and cut off north-south communications, which is a battlefield for all generations of soldiers to fight.

The fourth is the Yuyuan Pass, at the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng, it is the shortcut to Xu, Chen from Luoyang, the pass is on the Eling Mountain, Shao Room Mountain, the road is dangerous, there are 12 curves, the loop is circling, it will go back, so it is called the Yuanyuan Pass.

There are these four dangerous passes, plus Hao Zhao, who is good at defense, led 8,000 Luoyang soldiers to guard each pass respectively, a generation of veteran Zhu Jun is in the front, and the new generation of famous general Zhang Liaozhen is in the back, Luoyang can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After all, Yuan Shao had 300,000 horses, if he sent 200,000 troops to come, it would still be a little difficult to resist, Jin Liang named Huang Zhong as the general of Jingzhou, and led the headquarters of 20,000 horses to Nanyang County, cooperating with Sizhou Mu Zhu Jun, to attack instead of defending, harassing Yuan Shao's army in Nanyang County, and at the same time, the Huanggai guerrilla regiment in Yingchuan County and the Weiyan guerrilla regiment in Runan County all launched an offensive to attack and harass Yuan Shao's sphere of influence.

In total, there are 40,000 elite soldiers of the central army such as Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong in the Sizhou area, plus more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Sizhou Corps, including Zhu Jun, Duan Xuan, Hao Zhao, Li Su, and Wu Kuang, a total of 100,000 horses.

At the same time, Jin Liang's work on the intelligence system did not stop, all in order to contain Yuan Shao, whose power was growing day by day.

Jin Liang remembered the fate of Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shuvain who claimed to be the emperor and left his relatives in history, so he decided to take out the heirloom jade seal that he had never had a chance to use after he got it, and skillfully gave it to Yuan Shao to stimulate Yuan Shao's already unquenchable ambition.

When the central army invaded Luoyang City, the Luoyang Palace was in chaos, and many palace maids were scattering and fleeing, because it was rumored that Jin Liang wanted to hand over all the people in the Luoyang Palace to Liu Wei to deal with, Liu Wei wanted to put his younger brother Liu Xie to death, and the palace people who followed Liu Xie would not die well.

Because this palace maid is from Runan, she went straight to Xiangyang City, where her fellow townsman Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yuan Shao is located, along the way, this palace maid dressed up in disguise, dusty and dusty, went through hardships, and arrived in front of Yuan Shao's Thorn History Mansion unkempt, shouting to see Yuan Shao.

The gate guard of Yuan Shao's mansion naturally didn't take the unkempt palace maid seriously, so he wanted to blow this palace maid away, the palace maid lowered her voice and said in a deep voice: "The jade seal of the country is here, if he Yuan Shao doesn't want it, then the female official will take this jade seal to Yuan Shu, the assassin of Yangzhou." ”

When the soldiers guarding the door heard the words of the jade seal of the country, their eyes widened, and they hurriedly rushed in and reported to Yuan Shao.

In these three years, Yuan Shao unified the counties of Jingzhou, and seized the Nanyang County of his younger brother Yuan Shu, plus Runan County and Yingchuan County in Yuzhou were his territory, and he took advantage of the fact that King Chen Liu Pet was killed by Sun Jianbu Huang Gai and cleverly took Chen State, and changed Chen State to Chen County, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Liu Biao could not compete, so he had to bend his will to meet and temporarily attach himself to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao developed to the south, with Wu Ju as the Taishou, and took Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Tuxie could not compete, so he had to acquiesce to Wu Ju occupied Cangwu County, and at the same time Yuan Shao developed eastward, Won half of the territory of Lujiang County in Yangzhou, forcing Yuan Shu, who temporarily lived in Lujiang County, to develop eastward to attack the territory of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao developed westward and took Shangyong County in Liu Yanyizhou.

Now Yuan Shao sits on more than 10 counties in more than 10 counties in two states, with a population of nearly 10 million, and nearly 300,000 people with armor under his command.

Yuan Shao looked at the jade seal in his hand, stared at the eight words "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", looking at the gold edge inlaid on the corner of the jade seal, he pondered for a long time, looked at the palace maid kneeling in front of him suspiciously: "This jade seal has been lost for three years, how did you find it?" ”

The palace maid told a well-prepared treasure hunt process in a very skillful Runan dialect, to the effect that she saw the chaos in Luoyang City, lest the rebels enter the palace maid, she hid everywhere, and in a panic she jumped into a dry well, and found a palace maid on the body of the heirloom jade seal, to see that the palace maid's body was rotten, should have died in the rebellion of the ten permanent servants three years ago, and this palace maid from Runan got the jade seal, and thought of presenting it to the Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yuan Benchu, who was admired by everyone in the sea, and went through a lot of hardships and finally arrived in Xiangyang.

Yuan Shao is a very suspicious person, he doesn't believe very much what the unkempt palace maid in front of him said, he needs a credible person to confirm the authenticity of this jade seal, but no one around him has ever seen the real jade seal, just when Yuan Shao has no choice, the palace guard preached: "The Yellow Gate squire Xun Yu asks to see!" ”

A few months ago, Xun You plotted with the Northern Army Lieutenant He Hao, Shizhong Chongji, and Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Qiong to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Wu Qiong's assassination failed, Chongji fled, He Hao and Xun You were arrested and imprisoned, He Hao was afraid of suicide, Xun You spoke and ate freely, and a few months later Dong Zhuo was killed by Yan Xing, and Xun You was able to avoid death. Xun You originally wanted to find an official position in the court led by Wang Yun, but in a blink of an eye, Jin Liang's central army entered the city, Xun You had always despised Jin Liang's background and was unwilling to serve Jin Liang, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape from Luoyang City.

After Xun You escaped from Luoyang City, thinking that there were bandits such as Huang Gai in Yingchuan County, where his home was located, and Cao Cao, who had been good friends with him before, depended on Jin Liang for development.

Xun You is witty inside, but he looks dull and cowardly on the outside, he is a typical wise fool, Yuan Shao looks down on him, but Xun You is the grandson of a generation of famous people Xun Shuang, and the nephew of Yuan Shao's cronies and advisors Xun Chen, Yuan Shao looked at Xun Shuang and Xun Chen, and reluctantly accepted Xun You.

As soon as Xun You came, he offered advice to Yuan Shao: "Jin Liangxin has won Luoyang, his foothold is not stable, Ming Gong can take the opportunity to send troops to attack it, but he can win Luoyang in one battle!" ”

Yuan Shao had not yet received the detailed information from the detailed work placed by his adviser Guo Tu in Luoyang, and he always thought that it was not true that Jin Liang had taken Luoyang. He shook his head lightly and said, "Wen Ruo, this matter is not in a hurry, you can help my father take a look first." Is this jade seal a national jade seal? ”

Because Xun You was a waiter at the Yellow Gate, he served the emperor by his side, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was alive. I have indeed seen the true face of the jade seal of the country.

Xun You's heart suddenly, he had already seen from a series of actions of the Yuan family in Runan when the Ten Standing Servants Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and the group of heroes against Dong Shi Runan, the Yuan family's ambition is not small, and now Yuan Shao has won the jade seal of the country, how far can his ambition go, I am afraid that he does not want to be a minister anymore, Xun You trembled in his heart, but his face was very calm. Carefully staring at the jade seal in front of him, looking at it for a while, he replied solemnly: "Hui Ming's official words, it is indeed the jade seal of the country." ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed in his heart, this heirloom jade seal was really given to me by heaven, and that "the one who represents the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao" should be on me rather than on the younger brother Yuan Shu, who is ambitious and talented. It seems that "the Han family died, and the Yuan family prospered" is not a rumor, but a conclusive fact.

Yuan Shao simply had an irrepressible impulse to ascend the throne and become emperor immediately, but the calm and introverted he had cultivated from the party period made him feel happy and angry. He also suppressed his impulse to become a great treasure, he understood that if he didn't defeat Jin Liang, he would be the emperor, and he would be pulled down by Jin Liang, even if he wanted to be the emperor, he would have to go to the palace in Luoyang to turn his back to the north.

Yuan Shao put away the heirloom jade seal, put on a high-sounding expression, and bowed in the direction of Xiangyang in the north: "The Japanese prince must go to Xiangyang and present this heirloom jade seal to my emperor." ”

Yuan Shao said that he would change another day, but he had to decide when this day would be changed, and the strategists under Yuan Shao's command, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You, Xian Pei, and Xun Chen all knew the ambition of the lord very well, and they all looked at each other and smiled.

In this time and space, Jin Liang occupied Yuan Shao's favorite Jizhou, Yuan Shao had to run to steal Han Fu's Jingzhou, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was far away from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao saw Dong Zhuo holding Liu Xie hostage to order the princes, and saw Jin Liang holding Liu Wei hostage to order the princes, he also wanted to persuade Liu Biao, the clan of the Han family, to be the new monarch, in a vain attempt to realize the political ambitions of the Yuan family by controlling Liu Biao, although Liu Biao's strength is not as good as Yuan Shao, but he is good at protecting himself, so he naturally does not want to be Yuan Shao's puppet, and Yuan Shao does not want to lose this ally, so he has to give up.

Now, the legendary heirloom jade seal has arrived in Yuan Shao's hands, which has given Yuan Shao a new ambition, so he doesn't have to find a puppet to act, just go up himself.
