Regarding Cao Ying's sudden assassination, Dong Zhuo was not only frightened, but also angry.

I want him to have a heavy army, the power to the government and the opposition, and the thunderous means to suppress it bloodily, when there will be no more resistors. Where did you expect that there would be an assassination of Cao Ying's treasure? It's annoying and hateful!

"Even a small character like Cao Ying dares to assassinate me, then, what about Sangong? What about Jiuqing? ”

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo was shocked, and suddenly felt that a large part of this Luoyang seemed to be hidden in the shadows!

His face was constantly changing, sometimes fierce, sometimes confused.

"You can't passively bear it, you must take the initiative!"

Dong Zhuo said to himself: "The Three Princes and Nine Qing are the biggest obstacles, but these people can't be killed!" ”

"Killing can't be deterred! It is imperative to establish a new emperor! Dong Zhuo's expression was resolute, and he strode out of the room.

In his opinion, there is great benefit to having a new emperor.

One is to deter the courtiers; The two are also good to enter the regent and further strengthen the rule!

Immediately, Dong Zhuo sent people to convene the courtiers and hundreds of officials to discuss the matter in the Zhengxuan Palace.

When Dong Zhuo came to the palace with a sword and a bodyguard in military uniform, Lu Bu, the civil and military forces had already gathered in the Zhengxuan Palace.

"The master has arrived!"

Some of the civil and military flatteries are flattering, and they are extremely stammered; Some are silent and stiff; Some glared angrily, but did not dare to speak. There are so many different shapes.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Then, a eunuch helped the young Son of Heaven out of the back of the hall and sat on the dragon chair.

The Son of Heaven glanced at Dong Zhuo, who was sitting beside him, with some fear, straightened his color, and said, "I don't know what is the matter with the Grand Master, I have to convene all the ministers to discuss?" ”

Dong Zhuo glanced at the Son of Heaven indifferently, stood up, glanced at the ministers under the court, and said, "I want to set up a new emperor!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

The face of the Son of Heaven suddenly became pale and pale, without a trace of blood.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, choked and pulled out his sword, and Lu Bu behind him took a step forward, staring at the ministers viciously with a pair of tiger-wolf-like eyes.

"The emperor is weak, and he can't worship the temple and be the lord of the world. Now I want to emulate the stories of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and set up Chen Liuwang. As he spoke, Dong Zhuo waved the sword in his hand: "Xi Huo Guang made a decision, and Yannian pressed the sword." If you dare to disagree, you will be engaged in military law! ”

It means that if Lao Tzu wants to abolish the establishment, which of you dares to stop it, dare to chirp crookedly, kill him!

Looking at the violent Dong Zhuo, looking at the tiger and wolf general beside him, the ministers were silent.

If you look closely, there is something slightly abnormal.

For example, Wang Yun, although he lowered his head slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he seemed to have a smile. Looking at Yuan Kui, this person's face was plain, but his light flickered, and he squinted at Wang Yun and several ministers beside him from time to time.

"No!"

At this time, there are still righteous people in this court after all.

"The Taishi's words are fallacious." But it's Shangshu Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan!

"In the past, the two kings of Taijia and Changyi were not right; or more than a thousand guilty. Yi Yin and Huo Guang can set up a new emperor. When the Son of this day is young and has not been condemned to the world, how can he do the thing of abolition? Let's think twice! ”

Lu Zhi was not afraid and looked directly at Dong Zhuo.

Looking at Lu Zhi's fluttering three-inch white beard, looking at his still upright posture, and looking at the positive color of his face, countless ministers were ashamed. However, in the face of Dong Zhuo's methods, who dares to say anything to help?

"Lu Shangshu!" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Zhi, and couldn't have imagined that it was the person he 'promoted' who dared to oppose him.

Facing Dong Zhuo's fierce eyes, Lu Zhi did not back down at all, and said, "Master, think twice!" ”

The ancient Confucianism, with a heroic and righteous spirit, tasted life and death outside the degree, and strongly admonished it, if it is not successful, it will become benevolent!

"Okay, you Lu Zhi, don't think about the kindness of promotion, but turn against each other, if you don't punish you, how can you thank the world?" Dong Zhuo thought in his heart, opened his mouth and shouted: "Someone! Pull this madman out of me! ”

"Master Ben thinks that Lu Zi is an old man and is not suitable for being a scholar, so he will go home to retire and retire for the rest of his life!"

Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves, and the soldiers grabbed Lu Zhi, pushed and shoved, and went out of the palace.

Lu Zhi turned his head, a faint sadness flashed on his face, glanced at the Son of Heaven who was about to be driven off the dragon bed, and turned away.

Lu Zhi dismissed the official, and the ministers in the palace no longer dared to speak, Dong Zhuo smiled with satisfaction and said: "In this case, come here, please come up to King Chen Liu!" ”

A simple ceremony decided the fate of the two princes of the Han family, Dong Zhuozhi was arrogant, unprecedented in ancient times!

However, it is said that Chen Liuwang Xie's ascension to the throne is sad, and some people are sad and some people are happy.

When Wang Yun returned home, he immediately asked people to secretly gather more than a dozen ministers, and in the evening, they gathered at Wang Yun's house.

"Lord Wang, the wish of the first emperor has finally been fulfilled now!"

A minister sighed: "The emperor entrusted it at the beginning, and now it has finally come true." Although it was from Dong Zhuo's hand, it was still successful after all. ”

Wang Yun also nodded with deep feelings.

But it turned out that before Emperor Ling died, he entrusted the matter of supporting the prince's association to the throne to more than a dozen ministers headed by Wang Yun.

Although Liu Yuan had promised Emperor Ling that he would support Liu Xie, Emperor Ling was the emperor after all, and he was not stupid, and he knew the truth that eggs could not be put in one basket. Casting a net everywhere is the right way.

"It's also a shame that Yuan Kui, Huang Wan and others didn't object, otherwise today's matter, whether it will be successful or not, is still between the two." Another minister said

Wang Yun nodded, his face showing disdain: "For Yuan Kui and others, who is the new emperor, what difference does it make?" ”

"Yes, the power is in hand, Dong Zhuo can't do anything about them, let alone the new emperor?"

"Alas, this Great Han Dynasty" Wang Yun sighed, and finally lifted his spirits and said: "We will obey the will of the previous emperor and be loyal to the son today, and you still need to do your best." ”

Everyone nodded, silent

When Liu Yuan received the eunuch sent by Zhang Rang before his death, he also learned about Liu Xie's ascension to the throne.

In this regard, he did not express an opinion, but only put away the secret decree, and sent the eunuch to let him stay as he pleased.

Then, the situation in Luoyang became more and more chaotic.

There is Dong Zhuo****, who is rumored to be in the world;

There is Dong Zhuo bullying the Son of Heaven, and he doesn't even give him food!

All of this has made the people of the world angry and terrified!

Subsequently, even greater waves set off stormy waves!

The prince argues - killed by a dove!

In order to make some ministers lose their thoughts in their hearts, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to be the enemy of the world, and even killed the prince after the abdication!

How's that going!?

No matter how powerful you Dong Zhuo are in the world, you have no qualifications and no reason to kill the members of the clan! Not to mention the direct line of the first emperor and the former emperor?

Such a mad person is no longer qualified to live in this world!

Peiguo, Qian County.

After Cao Ying learned the news, he was silent for a whole day, and then gathered his relatives to discuss important matters.

Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, Yongzhou, Xiliang and other places are all undercurrents surging and galloping.

December 189 A.D.

An edict spread all over the world!

Cao Ying, Cao Mengde, overbearing the world, called on the heroes to chase away the chaotic ministers and thieves Dong Zhuo, the Qing monarch's side, and the Han room!

Immediately afterwards, the heroes responded and shook the world!

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he learned about it.

Hurriedly dispatched a large army to guard all key points.

sent the general Huaxiong to guard the Bishui Pass; General Xu Rong guards the Tiger Prison; He also sent Fan Chou, Niu Fu and others to block all the large and small passes that entered the division, and wanted to make the entire Luoyang area like an iron bucket.

Then Li Ru said that Xiliang Ma Teng was also about to move, Dong Zhuo was shocked, and hurriedly sent Guo Yan and Li Dao to guard Tongguan and curb the road from Xiliang to Beijing.

"Huh" Dong Zhuo's all the military movements last night, after all, he was relieved, and his fat body was paralyzed on the Taishi chair, which actually looked a little comfortable.

"Taishi" Li Ru frowned, and said: "Now in a critical time, Taishi, don't relax." ”

"Critical?" Dong Zhuo smiled: "The hundreds of thousands of troops of this Taishi are guarding the passes everywhere, and the insects in the eastern part of the country can't attack even if they try their best!" ”

After Dong Zhuo stabilized the situation in Luoyang a few years ago, he transferred all the troops stationed in Xiliang, plus the Xiyuan Army and other troops incorporated in Luoyang, the total army exceeded 300,000!

"Taishi, you still forgot someone!" Li Ru frowned and pointed to the north!

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo stood up suddenly, and then fidgeted and walked back and forth.

"Liu Yuan, why did I forget him? How can this be? How is it good!? ”

seemed to think of Liu Yuan, Dong Zhuo turned into a headless fly, which made Li Ru very speechless.

"Taishi doesn't have to worry too much," Li Ru said: "Although Liu Yuan, the king of Yuyang, is not easy to get along, as long as he guards Mengjin and Guandu, Taishi can sit back and relax!" ”

"Meng Jin? Guandu? Dong Zhuo frowned

"Yes, the army under the command of King Yuyang wants to go south, either cross the river from Mengjin and attack Luoyang directly, or cross the river from Guandu and attack Bishui Pass!" Li Ru explained: "However, Taishi knows the land combat capability of the Youzhou Army, and if it is allowed to land, it will definitely not be able to hold the Bishui Pass, so it is necessary to set up a heavy defense at the river bank crossing to sit back and relax." ”

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, gradually calmed down, and said after a long time: "It's easy to defend Mengjin, but this Guandu Guandu is not within the scope of the division!" ”

The Taishi thought, "Li Ru is also worried here."

"The official crossing is too far, I can't stretch my hand over, and I can only let the Youzhou army cross the river Although the Youzhou army is powerful, my Xiliang army is not a vegetarian!" Dong Zhuo himself felt that he seemed to be a little self-deceiving when he said this-obviously he lacked confidence.

"Also, if you send Bu'er to Bishui Pass, this Taishi won't believe it, with Bu'er's martial arts, with the danger of the pass, can't you stop the Youzhou Army!"

Thinking of Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo suddenly became happy.

Lu Bu's strength, he deeply understands. In his opinion, Lu Bu's martial arts are already difficult to match, unless Liu Yuan, the king of Yuyang, personally makes a move, no one can stop him!

So Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked people to call Lu Bu in.

"Father-in-law!"

Lu Bu clasped his fists and saluted.

"Bu'er, I have a problem for my father, and I need you to solve it!" Dong Zhuo smiled very affectionately.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, arrogant: "The righteous father's order is that Bu will never let the righteous father down!" ”

"Good!" Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and smiled: "In order to prevent the Youzhou army from attacking south, my father wants to send Bu'er to guard Bishui Pass, and cooperate with Huaxiong to block the Youzhou army that may attack Bishui Pass!" ”

"The Youzhou army is going south?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, his arrogance suddenly disappeared, and then his face changed suddenly, and he became unnatural. Thinking that he was easily defeated by Liu Yuan, and remembering that Zhang Jiao, who Liu Yuan had said was more powerful than him, was chased by 5,000 troops and fled, Lu Bu suddenly felt weak.

"Yes, for my father, I heard that the Youzhou army was strong, and I thought that except for a fierce general like Bu'er, no one could hold Bishui Pass, so"

Although Lu Bu was happy about Dong Zhuo's praise, he was more embarrassed.

The Youzhou army is strong, and Liu Yuan is stronger. In case Liu Yuan takes action in person, what will he do then? Lu Bu met Dong Zhuo's glittering expectant gaze, and had no choice but to agree.

Then, Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen to Tiger Prison Pass to assist Xu Rong; Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were sent to lead 50,000 troops to guard the Mengjin Ferry. After doing all this, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

When Dong Zhuo was deploying defenses, the world's heroes were already gathering troops and horses, preparing to meet with Dong.

At this time, Liu Yuan had just arrived in Quanzhou.

Quanzhou, south of Yuyang County, is the largest county seat in Linhai.

Fifty miles further south, there is the port of Dagu.

A few years ago, Quanzhou was the poorest and least populous county seat in Yuyang County.

Later, Liu Yuan devoted himself to the development of marine resources, drying sea salt, catching seafood, going to sea to hunt for treasures, doing business and other activities, making Quanzhou County a rich city and a big city second only to Yuyang City in Youzhou!

Liu Yuan led an army of 10,000 people, passed through Quanzhou City, stayed for half an hour, entered the city to take a look, and then went straight to Dagu.

Dagu Port, Shangjun Port.

There are two ports in Dagu, the upper is a military port and the lower is a civil port.

The military port is the place where the Youzhou Navy Division is stationed.

Liu Yuan came to Shangjungang, and Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin had already prepared everything and came out.

"Lord!"

The three of them clasped their fists and saluted.

"How's the preparation?" Liu Yuan smiled and asked.

"It's been ready for a long time." Gan Ning still has that hippie smiling face, which is not at all like the Governor of the Water Division, who holds tens of thousands of water divisions.

"That's good." Liu Yuan nodded approvingly. The order given this morning was duly completed in the early afternoon, which can be regarded as swift.

"So, let's get started." Liu Yuan didn't say much, and then led the army to board twenty ironclad ships with the help of Gan Ning and others, and then sailed out of the harbor, and soon disappeared between the sea and the sky.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid everyone understands Liu Yuan's plan - to transport the army with a water division, enter from the mouth of the Yellow River, go upstream, attack Mengjin directly, defeat Dong Zhuo as quickly as possible, and take Luoyang!

The Shui Division can be said to be one of the deepest hidden armies of the Youzhou Army.

All over the world, no one knew that Liu Yuan still had such a powerful sailor who could cross the ocean in his hands! Dong Zhuo was no exception, he didn't think of it at all, and it was impossible for him to think of it.

Of course, this crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Yuan only brought 10,000 people. These 10,000 people are responsible for defeating Dong Zhuo and controlling Luoyang!

Speaking of which, is it a bit of a joke to use only 10,000 people for such a big thing?

Indeed, it is indeed child's play, but this can only be said to others, and it is ineffective for Liu Yuan.

It was unexpected, and Liu Yuan personally led the army, 10,000 people, which is enough!

In addition to these 10,000 people, Youzhou also has other actions.

For example, the Jizhou Legion and the Bingzhou Legion moved southward; For example, the Shanggu Army was dispatched to the Hetao, and a series of actions were all carried out in secret.

Because Liu Yuan knew that after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, it would be the real troubled times! At that time, the heroes rose together and competed for the world.

Liu Yuan didn't want to see such a thing happen, to put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty was the world of the Liu family after all, how could Liu Yuan, as a member of the Liu family, easily overthrow it, or bow his head and give it away?

Naturally not!

Therefore, he wants to seize Luoyang with the fury of thunder and the speed of lightning, and change its fate as it was burned in the history of his previous life! On the other hand, the army was mobilized to slowly advance southward, so as to suppress the princes from all walks of life who got carried away after the victory of Dong Dong! Preserve the last bit of essence of the Han Dynasty.

Guo Jia and the other military advisors all knew what Liu Yuan meant, but no one stopped them.

One does not dare; But there is a great deal of merit in both.

Guo Jia originally wanted to suggest that Liu Yuan let the army advance slowly to the south, so that he could take the lead when he fought for the country in the future. And Liu Yuan's actions made him very happy.

No matter what Liu Yuan's purpose is, as long as the army is transferred to the south, it will be a good thing

190 years, the first month.

The princes will be allied with sour dates!

The first town, Cao Ying, Cao Mengde, is a family township with 10,000 people.

The second town, Hou Bohai of Qi Township, guarded Yuan Shao too much, counting 100,000 troops.

The third town, the later general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, counted 80,000 horses.

The fourth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha guarded Sun Jian, counting 20,000 horses.

The fifth town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, counted 10,000 horses.

The sixth town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling, a total of 30,000 horses.

The seventh town, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, counted 30,000 horses.

The eighth town, Hanoi County, is Taishou Wang Kuang, counting 10,000 horses.

In the ninth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, counting 10,000 horses.

The tenth town, Dongjun guards Qiao Mao, counting 10,000 horses.

The eleventh town, Shanyang guarded Yuan's legacy, counting 10,000 horses.

The twelfth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin, counting 10,000 horses.

The thirteenth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong, totaling 20,000 horses.

The fourteenth town, Guangling guarded Zhang Chao, counting 10,000 horses.

The fifteenth town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, a total of 30,000 horses.

The sixteenth town, fooled and guarded, counted 10,000 people.

Separately

Xiliang Ma Teng, Fufeng County Shougong Sun Zan two people from west to east, and the heroes flanked Dong thief!

Not counting Liu Yuan, Xiliang Ma Teng, and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, there are a total of 16 road troops, 400,000 people, and they will be sour and jujube, about the alliance, and fight Dong thieves together.

After the princes of the Sixteenth Road pushed the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shao Yuan was originally the acting leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu Yuan Highway supervised the grain and grass, and Cao Ying wrote a letter to General Fenwu at the same time, and after all the princes signed their names, they sent people to Youzhou to ask Liu Yuan, the king of Yuyang, to go south and crusade against Dong Thief.

The intention of inviting Liu Yuan to go south was proposed by Cao Ying.

There are several reasons for this, one is that Liu Yuan is a relative of the Han family, and the royal family was robbed, and it is right for Liu Yuan to go south to deal with it; Second, the Youzhou army is strong, if it can be attacked from both sides with the princes' coalition army, the Dong thief will collapse without a fight! Third, Liu Yuan is the king of Yuyang, and he is highly respected, so he should be the leader of the Dong League.

Yuan Shao, the acting alliance leader, was naturally very unhappy, but the rest of the people all had their own ghosts, even if the brother Yuan Shu sneered and looked at him and nodded in agreement, he couldn't, he could only nod and sulk silently.

After that, Yuan Shao took the princes of Zhulu to sacrifice to the heavens and swore an oath to the heavens, vowing to cut off the Dong thief and restore the Han family.
