Since the winter of the second year of Chuping, Gongsun Zhan was broken by Yuan Shaojie's bridge, and Longcao suffered a defeat and retreated to Youzhou. Since then, Yuan Shao has completely gained a foothold, changed the military pattern of Sun Qiang and Yuan weak, broke the passive situation of being embattled, and the two sides began to form a balance of power as a whole, which was the key battle for Yuan Shao to dominate Hebei. At that time, Cao Ying, who still relied on Yuan Shao, avoided the situation of being attacked by Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zhan, and at the same time, because of the existence of Yuan Shao's strong reinforcement, he could safely conquer the princes of Henan.

In April of the third year of Chuping, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army invaded Yanzhou, broke Rencheng, and killed Zheng Sui, the prime minister of Rencheng. Then, near Dongping, the official army that came to suppress was broken, and Liu Dai was beheaded by Yanzhou, and then the Yellow Turban Army moved to the Shouzhang area.

Under the persuasion of Chen Gong, Cao Ying, the Taishou of Dongjun, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and Wan Qian of Yanzhou Zhizhong went to Dongjun in person, and finally welcomed Cao Ying as the pastor of Yanzhou. After Cao Ying entered Yanzhou, he immediately blocked the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the eastern suburbs of Shouzhang with Bao Xin's allied army, the two armies launched a fierce battle, the Yellow Turban Army had been in battle for a long time, the soldiers were all strong, and Bao Xin was beheaded, Cao Ying took the lead in the rate, inspired the soldiers, and after fierce battles day and night, finally drove the Qingzhou Yellow Turban out of Fengzhang. Subsequently, Cao Ying led the army to pursue and defeated all the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the Jibei area. The Yellow Turban surrendered, Cao Ying captured more than 300,000 soldiers, more than 1 million men and women, and then selected the elite of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to form an army, called "Qingzhou Soldiers" Since then, Cao Ying's strength has been greatly enhanced. At the same time, the imperial court heard that Liu Dai was killed in battle, and changed Jingzhao Yin Jinshang to the assassin of Yanzhou. Cao Ying confronted Jin Shang on the way, and Jin Shang escaped. So Cao Ying occupied Yanzhou.

In April, Wang Yun offered a beautiful woman at the instigation of He Chen to induce Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to turn against each other, and then Lu Bu took the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo.

As soon as the news of Dong Zhuo's death was spread, the people of the world were boiling, and the whole country celebrated, all singing and dancing, and running to tell each other. For a while, it seemed that he saw the hope of the revival of the Han family, and he could return to the great Han Dynasty, and countless righteous men and loyal ministers burst into tears, thanking the common people and Wang Yun. After Wang Yun went through this incident, all kinds of praise and praise came like a tide, and his reputation was pushed to the peak almost overnight, becoming a big hero who saved the country and the people. Later, he was canonized by the emperor and was a very popular minister. On the contrary, behind the scenes, He Chen was pushed behind, except for a few henchmen who knew, few people knew about the role he played in the back.

He Chen didn't care much about these things, now that his reputation was enough, he no longer pursued things like fame. On the contrary, he silently stepped up the training of soldiers and horses, hoarded grain, and at the same time began to secretly transfer troops, preparing for some schemes.

Sure enough, the extremes of things must be reversed, and the prosperity must decline, Wang Yun once ascended to the gods, became under one person, above ten thousand people, he was dazzled by power, fluttering, and looked at the 200,000 soldiers of Xiliang to be stationed around the pass, and categorically refused the surrender of Dong Zhuo's generals Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Li Xun and others, and also punished his nine clans, which eventually led to a large-scale rebellion of the Xiliang horsemen, and then besieged Chang'an. Although Lu Bu was brave, Xiliang's nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were a little difficult to support alone, and there were Neiying and others to help Guo Yan open the city gate, and Chang'an completely fell. Wang Yun was killed, Emperor Xian, civil and military officials were abducted by the four generals, and the world was completely in turmoil.

and the state government.

Wang Ruohua's red and swollen eyes were churning, tears were like a kite with a broken string, and the pear blossoms wept, which made people feel pity when they saw it. Similarly, there was a woman behind Wang Ruohua, her whole body was snow-white at this time, and her delicate body kept twitching, showing great grief. No matter how it is, it can still be seen that she has a long national fragrance weather, and she is a beautiful woman of a generation.

It's Mink Zen.

He Chen gently hugged Wang Ruohua's slender waist with one hand, and comforted him softly: "Your father is the pillar of the country, and countless people respect him. Benzhou Mu issued three documents in a row, asking him to recruit Dong Zhuo's generals, so as to appease Xiliang's 200,000 horses in case there is a change, you all know this matter very well. It's just a human being, suddenly standing at the pinnacle of power and controlling everything, and a little forgetful, otherwise how could it be such a big mistake? ”

"State pastor, will you avenge the slave family?" Wang Ruohua said with tears in her eyes and desolation.

"Hehe, aren't you asking this question?" He Chen caressed her with affection, and her long hair was as smooth as silk and said.

"As long as the state pastor is willing to help the slave family avenge the murder of his father, the slave family is willing to serve as a slave and serve for life from now on." Wang Ruohua suddenly raised his head, the jade face full of tears was full of absolute color, the broken jade bit lightly, and a pair of puffy peach blossom eyes were full of sadness and pleading, almost making people's hearts broken.

"As long as the state pastor can help avenge this great revenge, Hongchang is willing to swear to the sky and serve Sister Ruohua forever." Diao Chan also choked up and said intermittently.

"Two silly girls, what are you talking about? Guo Yan and Fan Chou are the thieves of the country, and everyone is punished, and this is naturally the case with the pastor of Benzhou. He Chen gently wiped away the tears on Wang Ruohua's face with a somewhat thick palm, and then said: "In terms of the public, how can the Benzhou Mu say that he is also a gentleman, and he is worried about the monarch. Chang'an was turbulent, the emperor was robbed, as a subordinate, he naturally had to try his best to save and solve this crisis. In terms of selfishness, although the pastor of this state and your father have only one side, they have been friends for a long time. What's more, you are originally the woman you He has a fancy, and you have no right to be a slave or a maid at all. He Chen's last sentence can be regarded as a half-truth, it was originally a very serious and serious sentence, but it was destroyed by the smile on his face, making people not know whether it was true or false.

Xiao is Wang Ruohua was grief-stricken, and at this time, he was also taken aback by He Chen's bold words, forgot about the sad thing for a while, and looked at this guy stupidly.

As soon as the two made eye contact, He Chen staggered, and he didn't want to make any sparks at this time, so he just patted Wang Ruohua's fragrant shoulder lightly and said: "Don't worry, next, you can go and Diao Chan to relax, Chang'an's matter, it won't take long to have eyebrows." ”

Wang Ruohua bowed lightly, pinning all his hopes on the man in front of him.

|“ Then something has to go first, you have a good rest. In the complicated eyes of Wang Ruohua and Diao Chan, He Chen strode away.

A group of people were already waiting for him in the conference hall.

After He Chen entered the conference hall, all the civil and military ministers stood up to greet him.

He Chen stretched out his hand to signal everyone to take a seat, and he strode to the high seat, and as soon as he sat down, he quickly spoke: "Do you all know the news from Chang'an some time ago?" ”

"Got it." Everyone replied in unison.

"What do you think?" He Chen looked around and nodded first: "Gongda, you talk about it first." ”

Xun You is He Chen's right-hand man, and He Chen attaches great importance to his opinions in terms of internal affairs, economy, military, and people's livelihood. And he also established the status of the number one Wenchen in the He Chen Group with his outstanding talents and sleek means, even Guo Jia and Tian Feng are inferior.

"Huizhou Mu, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the Xiliang army has no leader, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and other virtuous talents are unable to convince the public, and civil strife has been born. The subordinates thought that it was a heaven-sent opportunity to raise troops to enter the customs and rescue the saints. Although Xun You was scheming, he couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought that the emperor was still surviving in the cracks of Guo Yan, Li Xun and other judgment armies.

"Brother Gongda Kuangfu Han is determined to be known to passers-by, but this is not the most extreme time to enter the customs, although there are gaps in Guo Yan and Fan Chou, but it coincides with the great changes in Chang'an, and the situation is not stable. The subordinates thought that as long as it was delayed for a few months, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Li Xuan, including Zhang Ji, who was later newly promoted, would fight sooner or later in order to compete for power and profit. The subordinates thought that on the one hand, it was a good idea to send people to provoke relations, on the other hand, to prepare soldiers and horses, and when they were both defeated in internal fighting, they would take the opportunity to join the army in Chang'an and rescue the saint in one fell swoop. ”

"What the military advisor said is not bad, I control Qiangqi in the west, reject Xianbei in the north, and defend Yuan Shao in the east, most of the military horses are suppressed and cannot move, if you enter Guanzhong at this time, the mobilization is only thirty or forty thousand military horses, and most of them are new soldiers, in case Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others really hug together, I am afraid that our army will also be difficult to make a difference." It was Gao Shun who spoke, and at the beginning of the year, he and the "Angry Waves Army" had been transferred back to Jinyang by He Chen to stand by.

"Now that Yuan Shao has just settled in Jizhou, he is about to consolidate his power and be flawless. And Xianbei was beaten and fled, going deep into the grassland, Budugen is worried about how to reintegrate the tribes. There will be no fighting between the two places for a short time, and the state pastoral university can transfer half of the men. Now that the state has established a good relationship with Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, as long as they send a few supplies, it is not difficult to mobilize more than 10,000 cavalry of the Huns. The subordinates believed that as long as there were 50,000 horses and horses, coupled with the means of the lord Tianwei, it would not be difficult to quell the rebellion in Chang'an. Xun You knows the current situation well, and after these words, everyone feels very reasonable.

He Chen actually had a plan in his heart, and his thoughts almost coincided with Guo Jia's, that is, he was waiting for the battle in Guanzhong to fight almost the same, and he was sending troops. Of course, this does not have to break through the barrier and kill the enemy, as long as the timing is good, just when Emperor Xian runs out of Chang'an, he can be welcomed to the state and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. As for the civil and military officials, the uncle doesn't have time to serve you there.

If you can really coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the benefits are almost inexhaustible. Not to mention anything else, at least his official position has been promoted, just like sesame seeds blooming. The official position has been promoted, the military general's skills, and the military strategy are not rolling in? Look at how much convenience Cao Ying's move brought him back then, and how many talents did he bring? I knew that there was a lot to be done in this matter.

Of course, He Chen didn't want to make things too obvious, which chilled the hearts of Xun You and Zhao Yun, so he deliberately said: "Gongda's words are reasonable, but the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Although farming was encouraged on a large scale last year, because the farmland had been barren for a long time, the soil and water were not fertile, and the harvest was average, so it was better to wait for the early wheat harvest before taking action. Of course, from now on, our army will have to mobilize men and horses, and prepare ordnance and materials. ”
