Chapter 177: The alliance disperses and the princes rise together

What did Dong Zhuo do to Wang Meiren? It actually made the loyal ministers of the Han family unbearable! It turned out that Dong Zhuo was angry, and humiliated Wang Meiren in front of Liu Xie, and rewarded Wang Meiren to the guards in the palace. In the end, Dong Zhuo also sent the miserable Wang Meiren, composed of the Qiang and Huns, to the Flying Bear Army as a military record.

It didn't take long for Wang Meiren to be tortured to death by that group of beast-like foreigners. Poor Wang Meiren, who failed to harm people several times, died so miserably, that group of so-called loyal ministers of the Han family were indignant about this matter. And Wang Yun, a loyal minister of the Han family, began to jump up and down, ready to connect with Dong Zhuo.

If you want to deal with Dong Zhuo, assassination will definitely not work. Captain Wu Fu of Yue Cai is also outstanding in martial arts in the army, but he is not Dong Zhuo's enemy. Most of the people who are familiar with Wang Yun are scribes, and they want to assassinate them, which is not very reliable. Wang Yun wanted to contact Taiwei Zhang Wen and ask him to gather the princes and King Qin again.

Unexpectedly, the unlucky Zhang Wen would be confused, even if he was confused, he would be confused in doing things. He actually mistakenly threw the letter contacting Yuan Shu on Lu Bu's mansion. Since Lu Bu was under Tongguan and listened to Liu Zhang's words, he regarded himself as the prime minister's son, and when he saw that someone wanted to make Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he immediately reported the matter to Dong Zhuo.

In order to scare the ministers, Dong Zhuo set up a banquet again. At the banquet, Lu Bu chopped Zhang Wen with his own hands, and soaked Zhang Wen's head directly in the wine, and invited the ministers to taste the blood wine brewed from Zhang Wen's head. The ministers held the blood wine and looked at Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo in horror. At this time, the ministers found out that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo looked so similar, they were so hideous, they deserved to be father and son!

Lu Bu's exposure of Zhang Wen's rebellion was a great achievement, but Dong Zhuo didn't say it, and he didn't even praise him, which made Lu Bu feel a little unhappy. Gradually, Lu Bu discovered that Dong Zhuo was alienating him intentionally or unintentionally, and Lu Bu had other thoughts in his heart. However, Lu Bu didn't want to drip Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo was his father-in-law.

Just when Wang Yun jumped up and down, connecting the ministers to resist Dong Zhuo, the alliance of the princes was also disbanded. Originally, the dissolution of the princes' alliance was triggered by Sun Jian's hiding of the heirloom jade seal, but now because Liu Zhang took away the heirloom jade seal, the dissolution of the princes' coalition was because of Cao Ying.

Cao Ying pursued Dong Zhuo and was defeated, and was taken around by Liu Zhang. Back at the coalition camp, Yuan Shao actually summoned all the princes to watch his jokes. Cao Ying was furious, scolded the princes of the Seventeenth Road, and then left the camp, and with him, there was Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo.

Sun Jian did not have any dissent because he did not get the jade seal of the country, and he saw that Yuan Shao and others could not achieve great things, and his enthusiasm turned into indignation, so he left the coalition with his subordinates. Subsequently, Gongsun Zhan looked down on Liu Bei because of Yuan Shu, and also returned to Liaoxi. And Liu Bei won the post of Pingyuan Minister before he begged Dong, so he took his two brothers and went directly to Pingyuan to take office.

The most outrageous thing is Qiao Mao and Liu Dai, these two benevolent brothers actually fought for food and grass, and Liu Dai was a step ahead, in the early morning, while Qiao Mao was unprepared, he led his troops to break in and directly killed Qiao Mao. not only took Qiao Mao's grain and grass, but also took Qiao Mao's surname and life.

Seeing that the coalition forces began to fight each other, Kong Rong, Tao Qian and others also left one after another. Yuan Shao saw that everyone was scattered, and he didn't dare to fight Dong Zhuo alone, so he withdrew his troops back to Bohai. However, although Yuan Shao had many soldiers, he did not have much grain and grass. Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu is a protégé of the Yuan family, so he often sends some grain and grass to Yuan Shao.

As the saying goes: Ascend to Mien, fight Mi Hatred. When there was too much grain and grass, Yuan Shao had a different idea, and with the instigation of his advisers, Yuan Shao began to plot to seize Jizhou. The two letters fell into the hands of Gongsun Chan and Han Fu respectively, Gongsun Chan's letter, Yuan Shao asked him to divide Jizhou, and Han Fu's letter, but Yuan Shao informed him that Gongsun Chan was trying to attack Jizhou.

Han Fu was originally a mediocre man, and when he heard that Gongsun Chan was coming to attack, he summoned his advisers and generals to discuss countermeasures. There is a person named Xun Chen under Han Fu, who is a high-ranking talent of the Xun family. However, he had already set his heart on Yuan Shao, so he suggested that Han Fu entrust the affairs of Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Han Fu's chief Shi Gengwu and Don't drive Guan Chun objected, but Han Fu still insisted on going his own way.

Geng Wu had no choice but to abandon his post. It's just that before leaving, he discussed with Guan Chun that when Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, he would assassinate Yuan Shao. It's a pity that Geng Wu and Guan Chun's plan was heard by Han Fu's general Lu Yi, and Lu Yi had already been persuaded by Xun Chen and was waiting to return to Yuan Shao.

Secrets were leaked, and Geng Wu and Guan Chun naturally couldn't escape death. Yuan Shao successfully entered Jizhou, took Fu as the general of Fenwei, and took charge of state affairs with Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Xin Score, and seized the power of Han Fu. Han Fu regretted it, so he abandoned his family and went to Tou Chen to stay in Zhang Miao.

Yuan Shao has Jizhou, so he naturally wants to visit celebrities, Jizhou talents Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are all people he has been famous for a long time, but Zhang He is a young general he wants very much. Unexpectedly, when Yuan Shao's people found the residence of Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Zhang He, the three of them had already moved away. What's even more amazing is Zhang He, even the clansmen have been taken away!

The depressed Yuan Shao inquired carefully and learned that when Han Fu announced that he would be welcomed into Jizhou, Fu Zhu and Zhang He packed up and left Yecheng and went to the direction of Bingzhou. As for Tian Feng, he left Jizhou two years ago, and no one knows where he went! However, before Tian Feng left, the only major event that happened in Jizhou was that the champion Hou visited Han Fu!

Hearing that the champion Hou had visited Jizhou, Yuan Shao understood the whereabouts of Tian Feng and the others even if he was a pig. There is just one thing that makes Yuan Shao very puzzled, why Tian Feng went with Liu Zhang after his visit, while Fu Zhu and Zhang He left Jizhou two years later.

In fact, it's no wonder that Yuan Shao is puzzled, even Fu Zhu and Zhang He are like in a dream. Originally, Liu Zhang agreed with them that when Han Fu donated the soil, it was when they defected to the state, but they didn't expect that Han Fu not only donated the soil, but also gave it so resolutely and quickly, it can be said that it was lightning fast!

When he heard that Han Fu had decided to ask Yuan Shao to take charge of the affairs of Jizhou, he felt that something was wrong, and he wanted to notify Liu Zhang to stop it. But before the news was sent, Yuan Shao had already occupied Jizhou, and he only had time to pack his bags and leave Yecheng with his family. As for why Zhang He was able to move the family away, it was because he had been preparing to leave for a long time.

Since Liu Zhang's visit to Jizhou two years ago, Zhang He's words have become more and more difficult. The more powerful the Yuan family became, the more Han Fu was worried that the Yuan family would find an excuse to clean him up. For Zhang He, who had offended the Yuan family, Han Fu naturally would not have a good face. A young general who is skilled in archers and horses, outstanding in military strategy, and ambitious, has been hung out for two years, and he doesn't know when he will have a chance to turn over, if he doesn't want to go, it's strange!

Although Yuan Shao won Jizhou, he did not get Jizhou talents, and the depression in his heart can be imagined. At this time, Gongsun Zhan knew that Yuan Shao had won Jizhou, so he asked his younger brother Gongsun Yue to take Yuan Shao's handwritten letter and ask for half of Jizhou, because this was Yuan Shao's agreement with him.

How can there be a reason for the meat to be spit out in the mouth, Yuan Shaoniao didn't bird Gongsun Yue, and directly ordered someone to slaughter Gongsun Yue halfway. Although the people sent by Yuan Shao were all wearing Dong Zhuojun's vests, Gongsun Zhan's people were not fools, and they recognized Yuan Shaojun's sample.

Hearing that his brother was hung up by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan was furious, so he led people to fight Yuan Shao in Panhe, but returned defeated. If Liu Bei hadn't rescued him in time, Gongsun Zhan would have hung on the boundary bridge.

Dong Zhuo heard that Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao were fighting, and Liu Zhang withdrew his troops back to Yizhou. Overjoyed, Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion and sent the imperial envoy Ma Yueyan and the imperial servant Zhao Qi to mediate in the name of the imperial court.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong, but they really listened to Dong Zhuo's words. As a result, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, and Gongsun Zhan was still cowering in western Liaoning.

Compared with the hard work of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Cao Ying is much luckier. He was defeated twice in Luoyang, almost losing all his old capital, and he earned a few shouts. However, as soon as Cao Ying was about to return to the county, Zhang Miao kept him and gave him the position of Chen Liutaishou. What's even more coincidental is that as soon as Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, returned to Changyi, a large-scale Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Yanzhou. Liu Dai did not listen to the advice of Cheng Yu and Bao Xin, and had to send troops to attack him, but was killed by the Yellow Turban thieves.

As soon as Liu Dai died, Yanzhou became a borderless land. The officials of Yanzhou discussed for a long time and decided to invite Cao Ying to take charge of Yanzhou. As a result, within a few months, Cao Ying became the lord of a state without spending a single soldier. Speaking of which, Cao Ying is much luckier than Yuan Shao!

There are lucky, there are naturally unlucky, there are smart people, and there are naturally fools. It is undeniable that Yuan Shu is indeed a little more stupid than Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shu returned to Nanyang, he easily took Yuzhou into his palm. When he put Yuzhou in order, he heard that Yuan Shao got Jizhou. So, Yuan Shu asked Yuan Shao for a thousand war horses.

Although a thousand war horses are quite valuable, for Yuan Shao, they are only a drop in the bucket. Whether to give or not to give is not a question of money, but a matter of face. If Yuan Shu is kind to ask for words, Yuan Shao looks at his brother's face, not to mention a thousand horses, even ten thousand horses, he is also willing to do it, but Yuan Shu just used a commanding tone. Yuan Shao is not Yuan Shu's subordinate, how can he give it? The half-brother fell out like this!

It's okay to fall out with Yuan Shao, after all, there is still Qingzhou between Yuzhou and Jizhou. But Yuan Shu sent someone to ask Liu Biao for 200,000 stones of grain and grass. Liu Biao's grain and grass did not fall from the sky, how could he give it to Yuan Shu inexplicably. But Yuan Shu didn't care, Liu Biao didn't give it, and he was resentful. So, Yuan Shu secretly contacted Sun Jian, wanting Sun Jian to be the vanguard of the attack on Liu Biao.

Sun Jian did not privately hide the jade seal of the country, let alone have a bad relationship with Liu Biao, how could he listen to the instigation of others and send troops to attack Liu Biao? Yuan Shu, who was rejected by Sun Jian, was furious, so he wanted to send troops to clean up Sun Jian. In Yuan Shu's opinion, he can't help Yuan Shao, he can't clean up Liu Biao, isn't he even as good as Sun Jian?
