Chapter 40 Officials and Generals
At the end of March 190, the first year of the original book, an earth-shattering event occurred in the Central Plains.
Dong Zhuo decided to move the capital to Chang'an.
It turned out that under the Tiger Prison, after Dong Zhuojun was burned due to the grain and grass in the Huiluo warehouse, the army's morale was weakened, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they were defeated in successive battles. Later, following Li Ru's suggestion, he and Lu Bu led the personal guard troops, retreated to Luoyang in the starry night, and decided to move the capital to Chang'an. Taiwei Huang Wan, Sikong Xun Shuang strongly persuaded Dong Zhuo to be deposed as a commoner. Shangshu Zhou Bi, Chengmen Captain Wu Qiong and others were beheaded. Since then, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak, and watched Dong Zhuo coerce the emperor and move the capital to Chang'an.
Then Li Ru offered a poisonous plan, asking Dong Zhuo to send 5,000 soldiers to arrest the rich families in Luoyang, a total of thousands, planting flags on their heads, and the big book "Anti-Ministers and Rebels against the Party" was all cut outside the city; He also killed Yuan Shao's sect and his party, copied his family, and obtained huge wealth. Not only that, Dong Zhuo's generals Li Qi and Guo Yan drove millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an. One team for each people, one team for the middle army, dragging each other; Countless people have died in the ravines. and the soldiers and the wives and daughters of the silver, and robbed them of their food; The sound of crying and wailing resounded for hundreds of miles. If there are those who are slow to act, the three thousand troops behind them urge the superintendent, hold the white blade, fall ruthlessly, kill people, and stain Luoyang with blood.
When Dong Zhuo was leaving, he asked the soldiers to set fire to the gates, burn the houses of the residents, and set fire to the Zongmiao Palace. The north and south palaces of the royal family are incarnated into a sea of fire; The world-famous Changle court is all scorched earth. Later, he sent Lu Bu to excavate the tombs of the first emperor and his concubines, and took all the jewels and jade treasures. The sergeants even took advantage of the situation to dig up the graves of officials and civilians and collect countless treasures. Dong Zhuo used thousands of carts to load jewelry, calligraphy and paintings and other valuable items alone, and then robbed the Son of Heaven and the concubine, looking to Chang'an.
Since then, the world has been shocked, the people's hearts have fluctuated, the Han country has been divided, each has its own government, and the princes have finally become divided.
Countless righteous men burst into tears, and those who were filled with righteous indignation abounded. The government and the opposition are even more scolding, and the people are in an uproar.
Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, was ordered by Dong Zhuo to lead 500 guards and share the escort materials all the way. At this time, his prediction of He Chen was already shocked, and he, who was surnamed Ge on the wall, while carrying out Dong Zhuo's order, bet on He Chen, secretly sent people to collect information and military information, and sent it to Chen Lin to secretly help.
And after He Chen left Wang Ruohua's boudoir that night, he ordered more than 100 parts with Feng Fang in person, dressed as a thief, and ambushed on the main road outside Luoyang. then blocked Wei Zhongdao's convoy, and fought with nearly 100 servants sent by Dong Zhuo, after He Chen opened his skills, he fought wildly, and soon beat Wei Zhongdao into a pig's head, and then plundered away. Locked up in a small remote village in the mountains. Only two people are left to take care of his diet and daily life.
Cai Yong and Hedong Wei's family made peace, and since then there has been no problem.
Later, He Chen had a secret meeting with Wang Yun, and soon reached an agreement on some issues and cooperated with each other. Before it was over, Wang Yun stamped one and sent it to He Chen. The latter sneaked into Cai's house non-stop and asked Cai Yan to copy Dong Zhuo's handwriting and write a letter according to his own ideas. At the same time, He Chen himself also wrote a letter by hand, but his font was really flattering. Later, he found Chen Lin and asked him to send his brother Chen Xiang Xingyue to Yuyuan Pass.
As early as after He Chen attacked Luoyang, Xun You had a premonition that a big war would break out and had already rushed back to Wancheng. After consulting with Li Yan, Xun You officially ordered the entire Nanyang armament to mobilize a huge war machine. All the reserve military service in the 36 counties of Nanyang, the county Zhuang militia regiment, and the list was opened to recruit people with lofty ideals, and it was officially edited into an army; With Lou Gui as the commander of the army, a total of 15,000 infantry men marched to Yuyuan Pass. At the same time, Xun You wrote to the major famous families in Nanyang, in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo, armed with his private soldiers, and later obtained more than thousands of soldiers from He, Zhu, Huang, Wen, Liu and other wealthy families, mixed into a legion, led by Nanyang famous man Cen Liangbo. Cen Liangbo is the 11th grandson of Cen Peng, the twenty-eighth general of Hanyuntai, and his father is known as one of the eight handsomes of Jingzhou by later generations. When Yu Nanyang, the state and county were inspected, and the three prefectures were handed over, and it was not enough. This time he was indignant at Dong Zhuo's atrocities, responded to Xun You's righteous act, threw his pen from Rong, and resolutely joined the army.
Among them, Xun You secretly wrote down a lot of Nanyang Yin Fengyang and refused to contribute to the family, so that he could settle accounts after the autumn.
Subsequently, Li Yan ordered Xi to open the granary of the arsenal, organize the people, recruit volunteers, collect a total of 50,000 people, and press the grain and grass in batches. Constantly rushing to the battlefield to support and provide for the economy. He also ordered Lu Chang to be the captain of the Dumen, leading 3,000 people to be strong, stationed outside Wancheng, and practiced at night across the water to strictly prevent the movement of Yuzhou.
At the same time, Xun Yu ordered Wen to be hired as the main general, Liao Hua and He Man as deputy generals, and led 3,000 elite soldiers out of Yuyuan Pass to attack Xu Rong Ruyang's defense line at night. Because Xu Rong had already taken precautions, he couldn't attack the numbers, and the two sides held each other. Hou Tian Feng made a strategy, spreading rumors, saying that Dong Zhuo had abandoned the tiger prison and was ready to retreat to Guanzhong, and after the fire of Huiluocang, it was already difficult to provide grain and grass, Xu Rongjun's heart fell sharply, and there were deserters who fled every night. After that, Tian Feng let people say that He Chen had returned to Nanyang, and ordered to wait for Xu Rong to be defeated, and let Wen Ping retreat to Yuyuan Pass in disguise to rest, but let Liao Hua and He Man secretly ambush the troops in two ways.
Xu Rong was really fooled, poured out of the nest, and chased Wenpin all the way. But he didn't want to be intercepted by He Man to retreat, and he was directly copied by hundreds of light horsemen from Liao Hua all the way, and burned to ashes. At the same time, Wen Ping killed the horse pistol, and the army of Yuyuan Pass was exhausted. Xu Rong was attacked from several sides and was defeated. It's just that due to He Man's slight soldiers, he was broken through by Xu Rongli.
Since then, the biggest obstacle under the Yuyuan Pass has been completely cleared, and the Wancheng soldiers have opened up the main road to Luoyang in the north, and the soldiers are pointing directly at the Beijing Division.
At this time, Xun You received a document from He Chenjing, saying that Dong Zhuo was ready to force Emperor Xian to move the capital to Chang'an, so that he could raise the army of the county, meet the princes of the Seventeenth Road, and enter Beijing to kill the enemy. At this time, Dong Zhuo had just retired from the tiger prison.
After Xun You and the generals received the letter, they were all shocked, and after discussing urgently for a while, they asked Wen Ping to raise the soldiers of Nanyang, poured out of the nest, and killed Luoyang in the starry night. Passing along the way, knowing that this was He Chenbing's entry into Beijing for Dong, hundreds of people spontaneously took refuge and followed the main force. There are also countless people who have donated food and donors. The clerical appointments are properly arranged, and they are not counted one by one.
The rout soldiers who followed He Chen to attack Luoyang were scattered and hidden in various mountain villages, and were covered and cared for by the local people. It was rumored that Wenpin had broken the main road in Luoyang, and the troops were sent to Kyoto, and they all resigned and returned to their positions. Among them, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and so on will come one after another.
After Dong Zhuo's main force retreated to Luoyang in the pass, Zhao Cen, the guard of the Tiger Prison, felt that he couldn't resist it, and surrendered overnight.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the princes of the Seventeenth Route followed one after another, and the momentum was boundless.
At this time, He Chen had already left Luoyang with Chen Lin, and had been waiting for a long time on the road that the Wenpin army must pass.
Although the parting is only close to the end, when everyone sees each other, it is like a world away, which makes people sigh.
He Chen had a full meal, washed away the dust that had come from Lian Yuan, and asked people to help take care of his messy hair and beard, and put on the armor that he had been absent for a long time. swept away the trend of decadence, showing heroic posture and outstanding. In addition, with a phoenix wing on his head, a precious fish intestine sword on his waist, and a cyan cloak on his shoulders, it makes people feel extremely powerful and imposing at a glance. Chen Lin, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but nod again and again, this was He Chen's true image, the sloppy appearance he had seen a few days ago.
The generals gathered together and couldn't help but sigh.
Standing on the high seat of the big tent, the tiger eyes scanned the hall, and all the soldiers were in high spirits, looking at themselves with pride and eagerness. He Chen couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed a dangerous move to burn Luocang, but God did favor him, not only succeeded, but also successfully broke through. The ensuing prestige and the cohesion of the soldiers have been raised to the point of no return. Why do these people follow themselves so desperately? Isn't it that you can continue to bring them victory; constantly bring them a reputation of honor; Elevate their official authority, let them enjoy glory and wealth at the same time, and glorify the lintel?
It was very quiet in the tent.
After He Chen retracted his thoughts, he took the lead in throwing out a bombshell news and said: "This time I entered Beijing, and the harvest was extremely rich, I was canonized as the pastor of Jingzhou by the saint, received the affairs of the eight counties, and obtained the edict of Dong Mi, which is justified." ”
The "coaxing" hall was immediately like an exploding pot, and the generals were excited and excited.
He Chen smiled secretly, the reason why his subordinates were happy was because Lao Tzu was promoted, and even they were stained. raised his hand to signal quiet, and then said: "Xun You, Tian Feng listen to the seal." ”
"The subordinates are here." Xun You and Tian Feng came out of the queue and said respectfully.
"Since you followed the pastor of Benzhou, you have worked hard and made many achievements, especially after the battle of Huiluo, you have handled it decently and acted effectively, and now you are transferred to Xun You to engage in governance, and Tian Feng is engaged in other driving, coordinating all matters in the eight counties."
"Xie Zhou Mu Daen." Xun You and Tian Feng thanked each other, and the faces of the two of them were rarely filled with joy. It can be said that it is the highest official position below the state pastor, almost equivalent to He Chen's left and right hands, and it can be said that in the eight counties, under one person, above ten thousand people. It can be seen how much He Chen values the two of them.
"Dingding...... System Prompt: Xun Yu loyalty adds 10 points, now 50/100. Tian Feng loyalty plus 15 points, now 55/100. ”
Ha, yes, if this trend continues, these two people will not be able to escape.
"Where is Huang Zhong?" He Chen waited for the two to return to their positions, and then spoke out.
"The subordinates are here." Huang Zhong made his debut step by step.
"Your martial arts are outstanding, brave through the three armies, under the Tiger Prison, but also to promote the prestige of our army, and now you are named the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, leading the soldiers Cao to engage in the unification of the three armies."
"Thank you for your grace." Huang Zhong also said with a happy face, this is a major event of the glory of the ancestors, who is not happy.
"Xu Huang, Zhang Liao listened to the seal."
"The end will be." The two generals happily came out of the ranks.
