Chapter 25: The Secret of the Alliance (I)
"After someone from Nanyang got rid of Kong Ling, we guided us a little and blamed Liu Miao for the matter, which happened to kill two birds with one stone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info not only made a contribution to help Yuan Gongzi win Yuzhou, but also kept the position of the eldest brother. At that time, if Yuan Gongzi was happy, it would be possible to let the eldest brother do the history of Yuzhou Thorn! ”
Li Yan explained his plan and disfigured, and Li Min also thought about it, considering the feasibility of this matter.
At this moment, a man suddenly broke in.
"You can't do that!"
Li Min and Li Yan were startled, and only relaxed when they saw clearly that it was the third brother Li Qing.
Li Min scolded with a smile: "Why are you here, kid? Surprise me! ”
Li Qing did not answer Li Min's words directly, but looked at Li Min seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, you can't agree to the second brother's plan, we can't do this." ”
"What is my plan? Why don't you keep watch in the city, what are you doing here? Li Yan scolded in front of Li Min.
"Hmph, I heard what you just said, you want to murder Kong Tingshi and blame Liu Miao. This must not be done! Li Qing rarely bumped into his second brother Li Yan, and then said to Li Min: "I asked Liu Miao, he is not here to take over as Yingchuan Taishou at all, but Jiujiang Taishou. It's not right for us to put him under house arrest, if we blame him again, if it doesn't work, with his status as a member of the Han family, things may become out of control! ”
"You said he didn't come to take over as Yingchuan Taishou? Are you sure? Li Min frowned and looked at Li Qing.
"Of course I'm sure, I've seen the holy decree appointing him as the Taishou of Jiujiang." Li Qing turned to look at Li Yan with an angry face, "I'm afraid the second brother already knew, right?" ”
"I just found out, too." Li Yan's face was unnaturally quibble.
Seeing that Li Min and Li Qing both looked disbelieving, Li Yan was a little annoyed and angry, "What if you know?" Yuan Gongzi looks up to my Li family, his task must be completed, and there is no better plan than what I said. ”
Li Qing hurriedly said: "This is playing with fire, Kong Ling is a famous person in the world, and Liu Miao is a member of the Han family, both of which are extraordinary identities." If I brave the disapproval of the world, if something goes wrong, my Li family will be finished! ”
"How can there be so many whatevers? As long as you plan well, there is no chance of failure. Besides, we don't need to do it, even if we fail, it won't touch us. Li Yan still insisted on his point of view, and began to persuade Li Min, "Big brother, our Li family can have today, but it all depends on the Yuan family." You must know that this is a task given by the Yuan family, can we refuse? When my father was dying, he had his last words, asking us to be loyal to the Yuan family, have you all forgotten? ”
"This ......," Li Min hesitated a little.
"The second brother concealed Liu Miao's information from the beginning, and now he is instigating the eldest brother again, I don't think it's just as simple as being loyal to the Yuan family, right?"
"You!" The third brother, who has always had a gentle personality, suddenly turned to each other, which made Li Yan a little overwhelmed.
Li Qing also felt that his tone seemed to be a little intense, and he lowered his tone and said, "Second brother, I don't suspect anything about you. I just think that we are brothers, and you can't hide anything from your eldest brother, in case some of your personal ideas go wrong, it will affect the entire Li family. ”
Li Yan was indeed a little cautious, and when he heard Li Qing's bitter words, he also felt a little guilty in his heart. He looked at his brother, who had always trusted him, pondered for a moment, and said, "I did hide some things from you, but you must understand that everything I did was for the good of the Li family. ”
"Is there a secret to that?" Li Min frowned.
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll tell everything."
Li Yan got up and looked outside the tent to make sure that no one came over, so he sat down again and said:
"Do you know what's going on with the heroes begging Dong?"
Li Min didn't know why Li Yan asked this question, but he still replied: "Your eldest brother and I are also a member of the Dong Dynasty, and I can't be clearer about the alliance of the heroes." It was because Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage, rebelled, and perverse, causing dissatisfaction among the heroes, and they all wanted to rescue the Son of Heaven and revitalize the dynasty, so they jointly launched an army to fight. ”
"Do you know who is in charge of all this?"
"Dominant? I only know that it was Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao who sent out a letter to Dong Yuwen, and then the heroes responded, and this formed the alliance. If you want to say dominant, it should be the alliance leader Yuan Benchu now, right? ”
"No, there was actually a conspiracy to ask for the Dong Hui League."
"Huh?" Li Min was taken aback, this was out of his surprise, "What's the inside story?" ”
"This has to start after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, and suddenly controlled the power of the court by force, and then his ambitions swelled, and he wanted to abolish the Son of Heaven. The important ministers of the court led by Yuan Taifu were dissatisfied, but they were powerless to stop it, so Yuan Taifu united some courtiers and planned a plan for the alliance of the heroes.
With the help of Dong Zhuo's idea of collecting fame, they persuaded him to reuse the world's celebrities to appease the locality, and successively appointed Bao Xin as the prime minister of Jibei, Yuan Shao as the Bohai Taishou, Han Fu as the Jizhou Mu, Liu Dai as the Yanzhou Assassin History, Kong Ling as the Yuzhou Assassin History, Zhang Miao as the Chen Liutai Guard, Zhang Shi as the Nanyang Taishou, etc. After these princes arrived at the place and took over smoothly, Yuan Taifu secretly asked Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao to issue a letter to discuss Dong Xuan, and then all the agreed princes responded in groups, quickly forming a power that swept the world. The Dong Alliance was born. ”
"I didn't expect there to be such a secret!" Li Min always thought that the alliance was formed spontaneously, but now that he heard Li Yan say it, especially those princes were the main members of the alliance, and they were all released from outside the capital to various states and counties at the same time, he couldn't help but believe it.
"In that case, why is the alliance making slow progress now?" Li Min thought of another question.
"Alas!" Li Yan sighed, "Originally, everything was going well, but something happened, I don't know if someone leaked the secret or Dong Zhuo was aware of it, Dong Zhuo was willing to risk the world's disapproval, wantonly hunted down and killed the courtiers involved, and even Yuan Taifu's entire family was poisoned, so that the princes were suspicious of each other and hesitated. ”
"Mrs. Yuan was also killed?" It was the first time Li Min heard the news, and he felt that the amount of information he received today was too large, so unexpected, and he couldn't react.
"Yes." Li Yan nodded, revealing a look of regret and sorrow.
"But what does all this have to do with us? Where did the second brother know so much secrets? Li Qing, who hadn't spoken much just now, suddenly asked.
Li Yan looked at Li Qing suspiciously, feeling that his reaction seemed to be a little wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. But he didn't think much about it, just said: "Actually, I have always been Yuan Shugongzi's staff. ”
