Chen Liujun, the princes pointed directly at the Tiger Pass. After Liu Wei was poisoned, the alliance leader Yuan Shao ordered a temporary halt to the attack. The princes, who didn't want to fight in the ice and snow anymore, were happy to do so and returned to their stations.

Yuan Shao convened his subordinates to discuss countermeasures. He clearly expressed his support for Liu Bian, and the reason for this army was also to reinstate Liu Bian. But now that Liu Wei is dead, the only son of Emperor Ling of Han is Liu Xie. In this way, a very serious political question arises: whether Yuan Shao should support Liu Xie or not!

The strategists were divided into two factions, one faction was led by Xun Yu, who supported the continuation of Liu Xie's reign as emperor. The reason is very good, Liu Xie, as the son of the first emperor, should inherit the throne in the absence of other brothers. This is where the rule of law has been in for thousands of years.

One faction, led by Guo Tu, believed that a new emperor should be established. Liu Xie was a powerful minister and a thief to support the upper position, which was originally an illegal seizure of power. Since you want to stabilize the world, you should choose another emperor who is enough to convince the people.

The two factions were arguing, Xun Yu and Guo Tu talked more and more, and the more they spoke, the more they scolded, Yuan Shao spoke slowly, "Why don't we first ask Youzhou Mu Liu Yu if he is willing to ascend the throne and become emperor?" ”

Xun Yu advised: "The lord can't! You and I are both ministers of the Han Dynasty, so we should respect the Son of Heaven. Although he was chosen by Dong Thief, he was talented and strategic, and he was still young, so he only needed to assist wholeheartedly, and he would be a Mingjun and a prosperous man. The lord can also be the celebrity of the Duke of Zhou. ”

"Hmm...... You have a point. Yuan Shao echoed on his lips, but he thought in his heart, this Dong Zhuo doesn't know what year and month he wants to fight, it is better to set up an emperor first, so that he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Let's go ask Liu Yu first. ”

Xun Yu sighed and stopped talking. I secretly thought in my heart that this Yuan Shao couldn't continue to follow, and he had to find a new lord in order to realize the great cause of Kuangfu Han Dynasty. It's just that among the princes, there are not a few talented people, such as Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others all have the qualifications of male masters, but now they are all sent under the fence for the second Yuan to send, especially Cao Cao, who was beaten by Guo Yi, and lost face, and now there are less than a hundred pro-soldiers left.

Another point, Sun Jian and Cao Cao are both from poor families, and their attitude towards the Han family is still unknown. As for the Guo Yi on the north bank of the Yellow River, don't think about it at all, this guy has been out of the mountain with the ambition of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang from the beginning!

The truce was only a one-day affair, and the news immediately came that Wei County was taken by Guo Yi and Han Fu was defeated and left Handan.

It's a bombshell! You must know that the main military supplies of the allies come from Han Fu! The princes themselves are just a county guard, and there is not much food and grass at all.

Upon hearing this news, the princes immediately convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures. As a result, nine out of ten said that they would retreat, and each of them would go back to their homes first, and then slowly figure it out.

Cao Cao stood up and made a generous statement, making it clear that he would continue to advance westward, so that he could defeat Dong Zhuo and support the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu sneered: "Meng De is so capable, can he break Dong Zhuo with a hundred people?" ”

"Hahaha!" The princes laughed, for a period of time, everyone has won consecutive battles, only Cao Cao and Wang Kuang were defeated in Hanoi. Wang Kuang himself became a ghost under the knife, and his head was sent to Luoyang by Guo Yi to record his merits. Cao Cao also lost his armor, and there were only 100 personal soldiers left of the only 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed on his face, but he cheekily continued: "If the Son of Heaven is right in front of us today, even if we only have one soldier and one soldier, we should fight to the death for the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Mengde's words are true." Yuan Shao actually had the idea of retreating, but now he has no merit under his hands, and he has not yet made enough capital on this expedition, and it is really a bit faceless to withdraw the army when the situation is not so critical. expressed his support for Cao Cao, "Meng De, I allow you to leave temporarily to recruit soldiers and horses, about a thousand people should always be able to recruit." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you Alliance Leader." ”

"Alliance Leader!" The herald came to report, "Hanoi Taishou Guo Yi exchanged the land of Wei County for his family, and Lord Han has agreed. ”

"This ......" The princes looked confused, staring at each other with wide eyes, completely incomprehensible.

Yuan Shu sneered: "I heard that Guo Zihong's family members who stayed in Jizhou are just a businessman and a concubine. Exchange a county for a concubine...... Hey. ”

Yuan Shao also smiled: "What a beauty lover doesn't love the country." ”

"Haha!" The crowd laughed. Not to mention a concubine, even if it is a wife and children, there is no reason to exchange a county for a county, not to mention that Wei County is still a rich land with a population of one million!

Cao Cao frowned, he and Guo Yi are also old acquaintances, and they feel that there is definitely something greasy in this.

Yuan Shao beckoned, "Okay, since Wei County has been returned, then you can rest assured." ”

The princes are not good to say anything more, since the grain and grass problem is solved, then wait and see for a while. Cao Cao left the allies and took Xiahoudun to recruit troops.

On the second day, the allies got the news that Guo Yi and Han Fu were brothers and would not attack each other. Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said proudly: "In this way, Dong Zhuo will be broken in the near future!" ”

Guo Tujin said: "The lord must not be rash. Guo Zihong returned to Wei County and broke with Dong Zhuo, just to let us fight Dong Zhuo, he is a good fisherman! ”

"What's your plan?"

Guo Tu said: "It's better to just stay put." Hanoi is the heart of the city. Dong Zhuo will inevitably take Hanoi first, and at this time, we will see the opportunity to act again, and the lord can win the battle! ”

"Good! Ordered all departments to stand still for the time being. ”

Chao Ge, Guo Yi finished reading the scout's report, and said to Fan Xin: "These things are waiting for Dong Zhuo to hit me first!" ”

Fan Xindao: "Let him go, we will also wait." ”

Outside, it was cold and snowy, and the snow was more than a foot thick, and there was no battle in this environment. In ancient times, the most bullish army was the cavalry, and in such a cold day, people's noses were frozen, and horses were difficult to walk. A truce is the best option.

Unexpectedly, this wait was actually waited until February. In the past three months, all parties have been silent, and there has been no movement. Spring in the Heluo area will come a little later, at least until the end of March, when the temperature starts to warm up.

But by this time, the people had already begun to work hard to welcome spring. The first is to prepare the cereals, from screening out high-quality grains to reasonably germinating the grains, it takes a relatively long process, as fast as ten days, and as slow as half a month. Then it was time to repair the farm tools, and then to the families to place cattle and horses for farming.

Although it is still snowy, the streets and alleys are already full of people, and the busy farming season is approaching.

Luoyang, Xiangguofu.

Dong Zhuo summoned hundreds of officials and put forward a suggestion - move the capital!

After spending several months with the princes of Shandong, the other party showed no signs of retreat and decay, but the internal problems on his side were very serious. Guo Yi fled that day, although Dong Zhuo's own defense was lax, but those high-ranking officials who helped Guo Yi Dong Zhuo still basically knew in his heart.

Li Ru found a nursery rhyme, a Han in the east and a Han in the west. relied on this set of rhetoric to find a legal excuse for Dong Zhuoqian. The relocation of the capital would be a heavy blow to the prestige of the hundred officials and the imperial court, and Dong Zhuo's authority would be further strengthened. Moreover, it can also avoid the edge of the Shandong princes and open up the strategic space.

Taiwei Huang Wan and Sikong Yang Biao immediately expressed their opposition, saying that the relocation was a major national affair and would inevitably cause heavy casualties and immeasurable material losses.

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, and immediately announced on the spot that Huang Wan and Yang Biao were dismissed. Several officials, including Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, still expressed their opposition. Dong Zhuo immediately ordered them all to be executed on the grounds of collaborating with the enemy! Just pull it to the courtyard of Xiangguofu and cut off your head!

The curses and screams of the deceased frightened the officials into silence, trembling and not daring to look up at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo looked around at everyone and asked condescendingly, "Do you have any objections to the ministers?" ”

The people did not dare to speak any more. Dong Zhuo stroked his palms and laughed, and said coldly: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die." The matter of moving the capital is decided! ”
