Chapter 009: A New Enemy

After He Jin's death, the eunuchs originally thought that other people would be easily eliminated because the dragons were leaderless, and they were also ready to regain the power of the court and restore the glorious era that belonged to the Yellow Gate and the permanent attendants, but unfortunately the ideal was very plump and the reality was very skinny.

If it weren't for He Jin's pressure, Yuan Shao and the others would have wanted to do it a long time ago! The group of scholars with military power is no longer afraid of the eunuchs, and the dying struggle of the ten permanent servants has long been doomed to failure.

After Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others killed He Jin, they appointed Fan Ling, the former eunuch of the eunuch party, as the lieutenant of Si Li, and Xu Xiang of the Shaofu as the Yin of Henan, hoping to regain power.

But Yuan Shao didn't eat this set at all, he and his uncle Yuan Kui pretended to be edicted in a blink of an eye to send Fan Ling and Xu Xiang to the West Heaven and the Buddha as companions, and then Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang and others also began to attack the inner palace, and He Miao, who was on the side of the eunuchs, was also killed, except for Zhang Rang and others who abducted the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs who did not run away were killed.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao finally made an unforgivable mistake, he missed the Son of Heaven, causing the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie to fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo, who already harbored different intentions.

In history, Dong Zhuo easily relied on his Xiliang Army to control the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie in his hands and took the lead.

When Dong Zhuo led the army to Luoyang, Bao Xinzhi, the cavalry captain, happened to return from recruiting troops from Taishan County, so he persuaded Yuan Shao and said: "Dong Zhuo commands a strong army, and there will be bad intentions." If you don't plan ahead now, you will inevitably be controlled by him. It should be taken that when he first arrived, the soldiers and horses were very tired, and if he launched an attack at this time, he would definitely be able to capture Dong Zhuo alive! ”

But at that time, Yuan Shao still had luck in his heart, and he himself was afraid of Dong Zhuo's military strength, and he was not sure, so he rejected Bao Xin, and Bao Xin led his troops back to Taishan County.

Dong Zhuo soon annexed the troops of the original He Jin and He Miao brothers, and also colluded with Lü Bu to kill Ding Yuan, who was in charge of the defense of Luoyang, and gradually took control of Luoyang's military power.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was already invincible in Luoyang, and he gradually showed his ambitions.

Dong Zhuo was ready to depose the king and completely control the court.

At that time, Yuan Shao contributed a lot to the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, and he was born in the old Yuan family in Runan, and his reputation was very high, so Dong Zhuo went to Yuan Shao to discuss, Yuan Shao was still afraid of Dong Zhuo, so after he knew Dong Zhuo's thoughts at the beginning, he did not reject him directly, but said euphemistically: "This kind of major matter should still be discussed with Taifu." ”

At that time, Taifu was Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui.

But Dong Zhuo came later: "The Liu family is not enough to recover (the people of the Liu family are no longer enough to preserve it)." ”

Is it tolerable or unbearable, Yuan Shao didn't say anything, didn't give Dong Zhuo face at all, turned the saber sideways, made a swipe to everyone, and walked straight out. Dong Zhuo saw that Yuan Shao had taken the knife directly, and Yuan Shao's family was still a member of the senior officials, so he didn't dare to harm him. Yuan Shao himself knew that he was in danger, so he hung the talisman of Captain Si Li at the upper east gate, and quickly left Luoyang and fled to Jizhou.

According to the record of "Offering the Emperor Spring and Autumn", Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the establishment at that time, so he said to Yuan Shao: "The current emperor is young and ignorant, and is not suitable to be the lord of all vehicles, and the emperor should be served by a virtuous person. Some people are smart in small things and confused in big things, who knows what will happen to them? Let him try to be emperor first; Every time I think of Emperor Ling, it makes me resentful, and so do you. ”

Yuan Shao said: "The Han Dynasty ruled the world for about 400 years, and its kindness was profound, and it was supported by all the people for a long time. Now the emperor is still young, and there is no fault to spread to the world. If you want to abolish your throne, I'm afraid everyone won't approve of your proposal! ”

Dong Zhuo pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and said to Yuan Shao: "Boy, you dare to be so presumptuous!" Isn't it up to me to decide the major events in the world! If I want to do this, who would dare to disobey? Do you think Dong Zhuo's knife is not sharp! ”

Yuan Shao was furious and said: "The heroes and heroes of the world, is it only you Dong Gong alone!" So Yuan Shaoheng displayed his saber, bowed to the end, and went straight out.

This incident is also another prototype of the story of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

But Yuan Shao also offended Dong Zhuo miserably because of this incident, and after he ran away, Dong Zhuo was ready to offer a reward for arresting Yuan Shao. But fortunately, Yuan Shao had a very close relationship with the party back then, and Dong Zhuo reused the party, so at that time, Zhou Mi, the captain of the city gate, Wu Qiong, and others pleaded for Dong Zhuo.

They then said to Dong Zhuo: "The major event of abolishing the emperor is not something that ordinary people can participate in. Yuan Shao didn't understand the overall situation, and he fled in fear, not because he had other ideas. Rushing to offer a reward for him now is bound to cause a sudden change. The four generations of the Yuan family are gracious, protégés and former subordinates are all over the world, once the heroes are collected, the soldiers are gathered, and the heroes are rising, I am afraid that Taihang Shandong will not belong to you. It is better to pardon Yuan Shao and worship him as a county guard, Yuan Shao is happy to see that he is exempted from responsibility, and there will definitely be no disaster. ”

Dong Zhuo thought it was very reasonable, so he sent someone to grant Yuan Shao the position of Bohai Taishou, and also named him the Marquis of Yunxiang, and nominally Yuan Shao was also the captain of Si Li, so Yuan Shao escaped.

But the throne of the young emperor Liu Wei was not preserved in the end, although Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao tried their best to protect the young emperor, but they still did not defeat Dong Zhuo's obscenity, and Lu Zhi was also dismissed from office.

On the first day of September in the first year of Zhaoning (September 28, 189), Dong Zhuo convened hundreds of officials in the front hall of Chongde and forced the Empress Dowager He to issue an edict to establish Liu Xie as the emperor, depose the emperor as the king of Hongnong, and return the empress dowager to power. Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui chose to cooperate with Dong Zhuo and personally removed the seal ribbon from the young emperor and presented it to King Chen Liu, who then ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Yonghan to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, in addition to winning over Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo also won over Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others, and even named Yuan Shu as the rear general and Cao Cao as the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, but Yuan Shu and Cao Cao refused to be with Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang one after another.

After Dong Zhuo abolished the establishment, it was not tolerated by the world, Cao Cao first advocated volunteers in Chen Liujiwu, and then Qiao Mao sent a letter to the three dukes of the fraudulent Jingshi to all prefectures and counties, stating Dong Zhuo's evil deeds and hoping that all localities would raise troops.

In the first month of the first year of Chuping (190), the heroes from all over the country responded, in addition to Qiao Mao, including Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Later General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin.

The curtain of anti-Dong has been opened.
