Chapter 378: The Princes Begin to Rebel
readx;
In 190 A.D., the first year of the early Han Dynasty, March 15, the Chongde Hall of the South Palace of Luoyang City was called the solemn and sacred Chongde Hall in the past, and now the momentum is still there, but it no longer has its sacred name. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, Yuan Shao and all the princes left behind gathered in the Chongde Palace, as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao was dressed in dragon pattern purple, sitting in a position under the dragon couch, the eyes and arrogant momentum, all showed Yuan Shao's mood at this time.
"Princes, now that all the princes have retreated, what do you mean by staying, do you still want to crusade against Dong Thief alone?" Glancing around at the princes who were seated, Yuan Shao said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"General, Luoyang was taken down by me and other princes in the world, why do you let yourself take the lead?" Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu's face was blue at this time, and the contradiction between the two was already contradictory, even if they fought at the beginning, it was not unusual.
Luoyang is adjacent to Nanyang, Yuan Shu has enough confidence, in Nanyang, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that Yuan Shu has newly trained, if Yuan Shao really wants to carry out with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu doesn't mind sharing a high and low with Yuan Shao!
In fact, Yuan Shu didn't mean to embarrass Yuan Shao, a few days ago when Dong Zhuo admitted that the Sili area was owned by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu privately made a request to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao would cede Liang, Yangcheng, Mi, Xinzheng counties and Yuan Shu, after all, Yuan Shu is Yuan Shao's younger brother, and the territory is close to Luoyang, so it's no problem to get a few counties, right?
Don't forget, Yuan Shao's base camp can be in Mount Tai, if it is the previous Si Li, which prince in the world is willing to give up, but the problem is that the current Si Li can be described as thousands of miles of uninhabited, even if Yuan Shao occupies it is useless, it is better to give Yuan Shu some benefits.
But the problem is, these counties are the southern gates of Henan, how could Yuan Shao agree to cede them? Although the base camp is in Mount Tai, but Yuan Shao also wants to occupy Sili, at present, the population of each county is small and pitiful, but Sili is the capital of the Han Dynasty, located in the central area of the Han Dynasty, are you afraid that you can't gather the people?
I don't want to let it, and I won't let it! This is Yuan Shao's idea, and in order to completely occupy the Sili area, Yuan Shao has ordered the displaced people in the surrounding areas of Mount Tai to move Sili, of course, these populations are absolutely not enough to fill the vacancy of Sili, in order to attract the people, Yuan Shao even agreed to give the displaced people a share of land, fifty acres per household, although it is a little smaller, but it is better than being a slave to those scholars, right?
When the system was just promulgated, it did get a good effect, and even the people of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and even Nanyang rushed to the Sili area in large numbers, after all, the status of the Sili area in the hearts of the people is not ordinary, and it is a supreme honor to get the land of the Sili area.
But then the question came out, how could Dong Zhuo, who was in Chang'an, watch Yuan Shao's comfort? In order to fill Yuan Shao's independence, Dong Zhuo ordered the gate valves who were brought to Luoyang from Sili to leave their homes and return to the Sili area.
Anyway, the money and grain have been exploited, these people keep it and waste food, and rushing back to Sili is different, these people have huge connections in their hands, most of Sili's land, nominally theirs, now they return to Sili, want to return their own land, can Yuan Shao not give it?
And after the land is given, what will happen to the people's sub-fiefdom?
You must know that at this time, the area of Sili has been seriously reduced, and the areas of Hedong, Hongnong, Hanoi, Fufeng, Jingzhaoyin and other areas that originally belonged to Sili all fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo and Liu Tai, and there was only one Henan Yin in the hands of Yuan Shao!
The area of Henan Yin is not large, after being reclaimed by these gate lords, the place left behind cannot be divided at all, if it is all distributed to the people, will it be difficult for Yuan Shao to take Luoyang City?
It's a pity to throw it away, and it's tasteless to eat!! Of course, even if you don't want to, even if you give it to Dong Zhuo or Liu Tai, Yuan Shao will not hand over Henan to Yuan Shu, if such a fertile land in Henan is handed over to Yuan Shu, then Yuan Shu will not go to the sky?
The tangled Yuan Shao, although he has a solitary attitude on the surface at this time, he is already depressed and panicked in private, he wants to occupy Henan, the troops are not enough, and he wants to give up Henan, such a good place, if it is still there, it will be difficult to get it back in the future.
The scale is like the "highway" in northern Xinjiang, and now in Henan, it is the Son of Heaven who personally rewarded the Lord of the Alliance, if you have any objections, you can go to Luoyang to play the Son of Heaven! Yuan Shao's face was flat, and he said something that almost made Yuan Shuqi vomit blood.
Going to Luoyang? Is it difficult to go to death?
The Son of Heaven is just a puppet, even if the Son of Heaven agrees, then Dong Zhuo's approval is necessary, the question is, Yuan Shu has just participated in the discussion of Dong Daye, does he dare to contact Dong Zhuo? In case it becomes the target of everyone, Yuan Shu will not have good fruit to eat.
"At the beginning, although the Henan region is good, it is close to Dong Zhuo, in case Dong Zhuo leads the troops out of the customs, then what is good?" Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai rolled his eyes, stood up, and said to Yuan Shao.
"Hmph, what do you mean by what you say, can't you return Henan to Dong Zhuo?" Yuan Shao was a little dissatisfied when he saw Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai speak, although Liu Dai's words were very good, but in fact he was helping Yuan Shu!
How so?
If Yuan Shao can't occupy it alone, then Henan will have to be separated, and who is the closest force to Henan? Naturally, it's Yuan Shu, if you want Yuan Shu to dig the foot of the wall from Yuan Shao's hands, there is no way!
"In the opinion of this general, it is better to divide the Henan region, in order to prevent Dong Zhuo from leading troops out of the customs, the princes each sent a certain number of troops to garrison, so that not only can deter Dong Zhuo, but also enable the people who come to Luoyang to recuperate peacefully." Liu Dai seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, glanced at Cao Ying, and said loudly to Yuan Shao.
"Points?" Yuan Shao's face was unnatural for a moment, Liu Dai's idea was really amazing, he actually wanted to divide such a small amount of Henan region into several pieces and hand them over to the princes of the world, although the words were good, but the question is, how many princes in the world will value the Henan region? At that time, I am afraid that the whole of Henan will still fall into the hands of Liu Dai and Yuan Shu.
"Impossible, the leader of this alliance absolutely disagrees!" There was no room for negotiation at all, and I saw Yuan Shao stand up directly and say to Liu Dai, his expression was extremely solemn, looking at Liu Dai's expression with a strong threat.
"Originally, are you sure that with the strength of your side, you can resist Dong Zhuo?" Seeing Yuan Shao angry, Cao Ying, who was Yuan Shao's friend, stood up and said. In fact, Liu Dai's idea was given by Cao Ying, such as the trend of secession of the heroes has become a success, and the Luoyang area bears the brunt, whoever occupies Luoyang will occupy a great reputation, even if Cao Ying is reluctant to give up!
"This" Yuan Shao opened his mouth, not knowing how to reply to Cao Ying, if he said that he could resist Dong Zhuo by himself, it was really a bit of a fool's dream, but the problem was that Yuan Shao never thought of letting Henan out, don't forget, Yuan Shao still has a Luoyang Marquis on his head at this time.
Yuan Shao, who was standing in place, his expression changed again and again, and he glanced at Cao Ying from time to time, and then Yuan Shu, Liu Dai and others, Yuan Shao at this time finally understood, it turned out that these had already been calculated!
"Okay, since you all have this opinion, the leader of this alliance adheres to a fair attitude and agrees with your opinion, but the leader of this alliance also has one condition, Luoyang and the surrounding Yanshi, Heyin and other areas must be under the jurisdiction of the leader of this alliance, and no one can interfere!" Imagining the consequences of Dong Zhuo's exit, Yuan Shao, who almost crushed his steel teeth, could only agree to the request of the princes, and now Yuan Shao's power is only a few counties, if he really offends all the princes present, he will inevitably be very sad in the future.
"Haha, that's right, my Yuan Highway capacity is limited, as long as the five counties of Xinzheng, Liangxian, Wushi, Xincheng, and Mixian, I don't know if the Yuan League Master agrees?" Seeing that Yuan Shao finally compromised, Yuan Shu suddenly said with joy, originally Yuan Shu only wanted three counties, but at this time, it was expanded to five counties at once, which can be described as a lion's big mouth.
You must know that there are only twenty-one counties in the entire Henan Yin, and Yuan Shu asked for it all of a sudden, and after the remaining dozen or so counties are divided, how many counties can Yuan Shao get?
"Heh, the strength of this general is not as good as the highway and the beginning, as long as the five county towns of Xingyang, Kaifeng, Yuanling, Zhongmu and Juan County can be, I hope the alliance leader will forgive me." Liu Dai had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after glancing at Cao Ying, he got Cao Ying's signal, and said to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao's complexion at this time can be said to be blue to the limit, there are twenty-one counties in total, and the two princes have taken ten, and most of the remaining areas are places that have been seriously damaged by Dong Zhuo and chaotic gate valves, isn't this to make Yuan Shao ugly?
"Good, good, good!" After saying three good words in a row, Yuan Shao glanced around at everyone, laughed coldly, and then looked at Cao Mengde and Liu Bei and said, "You two should say what you want quickly, don't wait for the leader of this alliance to regret it!"
"Originally, I ruled the land in Lianghuai, how could I take the land of Henan?" Cao Ying shook his head with a smile, looked at Yuan Shao and said loudly, in fact, Cao Ying really wanted it, after all, occupying a county seat in Luoyang is comparable to a county governed by other states, but the problem is that Henan is too far away from Lianghuai, and occupying it is just an empty waste of troops.
"I will go back to Yangzhou in the next day, Henan is too far away from Yangzhou, and I hope that the first brother will forgive me." Liu Bei got up and said to Yuan Shao after Cao Ying's words. Cao Ying was unwilling to waste troops in Henan, how could Liu Bei be willing? The reason why Liu Bei stayed until now was just to see more of the palace in Luoyang, after all, it was the first time in Liu Bei's life to step into the palace.
"Well, why should Brother Xuande leave in such a hurry, as the host, the leader of this alliance naturally wants to entertain Brother Xuande well." Seeing Liu Bei actually knew each other like this, Yuan Shao suddenly smiled, Liu Bei is a big prince, if Yuan Shao wants to rise in the future, he wants Liu Bei to wave the flag behind him, and Liu Bei has never lived up to Yuan Shao's expectations, and he fully supports Yuan Shao in most things.
"Thank you for the kindness of the alliance leader, but after the Shanyue region was preparing to leave Yangzhou, it went out of the mountains to loot repeatedly, the army was huge, and the people in the border areas of Yangzhou suffered heavy casualties. The excuse is very good, but I don't know if it's true or not, after all, the Shanyue region is too far away from the power of the princes present, and it doesn't matter what Liu Bei says.
"Just a thief who dares to plunder my people?" Yuan Shao made an angry look on the surface, but he smiled in his heart, in Yuan Shao's opinion, the more chaotic the world, the better, otherwise how could there be a chance for Yuan Shao to rise? And if the mountains are chaotic, they will restrain Liu Bei, can Cao Ying, who is Liu Bei's neighbor, still endure loneliness?
"Hey, now that the majesty of my Han family has been lost, if it was in the past, how dare the people of Yue do this?" Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao's high-sounding appearance, shook his head helplessly, and said with a sigh on his face.
"Xuande, the mountain is more powerful, do you need me to enter Yangzhou with two Huai soldiers and horses to help?" Cao Ying, who was standing in the field, rolled his eyes and said with a smile at Liu Bei.
Aid to Liu Bei is fake, and occupying Yangzhou County is real!
Cao Ying is very hypocritical, but it is undeniable that Cao Ying's words are right in Liu Bei's key point, if you don't want Cao Ying to help, then Liu Bei said before that the mountain is more powerful will be caught by someone, if you want Cao Ying to help, I am afraid that the north bank of the Yangtze River near the two Huai is not safe.
"How dare you bother with Lammond? Of course, if Meng De is willing, I hope Meng De can give some money and grain, now Yangzhou is poor, prepare some time ago in order to raise winter food for the people, it can be said that it is a painstaking effort, now the winter has just passed, Shanyue has come to invade the border, grain and grass is the biggest problem. Liu Bei made a gesture of gratitude, and even with tears in his eyes, he stepped forward to hold Cao Ying's hand.
Depend on!!!
The corners of Cao Ying's mouth cracked, looking at Liu Bei's disgusting appearance, he was speechless, originally Cao Ying still wanted to take the opportunity to get a little cheap, but he didn't want to steal chickens and rice, but now the problem fell on Cao Ying's head all of a sudden, Cao Ying occupies the Lianghuai region, the place where the most grain and grass are produced, Liu Bei asks for grain and grass like this, if Cao Ying doesn't mean it, he can't say it.
But the problem is that supporting the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo has exhausted most of Cao Ying's savings, where is there still how much food to fund Liu Bei, is it difficult to become a face, and let the soldiers under his command go hungry? ?
"Where is Xuande, if you can help, you will naturally do your best, but now the people in the Lianghuai region are not having a good time, in order to support the great cause of the thief, you can say that you have exhausted the surplus grain, and you can't do anything." You fake, I'm fake, Cao Ying put on a helpless look and said to Liu Bei, if you want Cao Ying to slap a swollen face and become fat, Cao Ying can't do it if he dies, since he can't do it, then just be handsome and skinny.
Cao Ying and Liu Bei are pulling skin from each other, I won't say much for the time being, seeing the scene of the two talking to each other, Yuan Shao pulled his dough, a little helpless, although he said that he was the leader of the alliance, but the pressure on his body was also very great, if it was not good and offended all the princes, then Yuan Shao's words would not be easy.
========= A.D. 190, the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, March 16, Sili Henan region was divided into several pieces, the three major princes Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai, respectively occupied one side of Henan, and divided the good Henan region into three pieces.
Yuan Shao, who was aggrieved, after arranging the regional defense under the rule of Si Li, took 30,000 soldiers and horses back to Mount Tai for the first time, at this time Henan is no longer Yuan Shao alone, the south gate and the east gate are completely open, how dare Yuan Shao stay in Luoyang?
At the same time that Yuan Shao and other princes all left with the main force, a great event that shook the world happened again!
Jingzhou Zhizhi Nanjun has changed hands!!
It turned out that after Sun Jian led the troops south, he did not directly turn back to Jingnan, but attracted the attention of Nanjun, at this time, Nanjun Taishou Zhang Yangzheng and Sun Jian returned south on the same road, giving Sun Jian a great opportunity, Sun Jian's coveting of Nanjun Needless to say, even when he went north, he left soldiers and horses in Nanjun, such a good time, will Sun Jian let it go?
But the strange thing is that Zhang Yang did not die, but called Sun Jian's subordinates, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command all took Sun Jian's palms, why is this?
In fact, it is still Zhang Yang's own problem, Zhang Yang is too afraid of death, and he doesn't want to die too much, when Sun Jian opened a Hongmen banquet for Zhang Yang and won Zhang Yang on the spot, Zhang Yang expressed his willingness to give up his position and follow Sun Jian to make contributions.
Although Zhang Yang is afraid of death, he still has the ability, otherwise when Ding Yuan was alive, he would not have handed over the huge Nanjun to Zhang Yang to take care of, and Zhang Yang took the initiative to surrender, which made Sun Jian even more unwanted!
Zhang Yang doesn't have the style of a hero, and he is greedy for money and lustful, but the problem is that Nanjun still has Zhang Yang's headquarters soldiers and horses stationed, if Zhang Yang refuses to take the initiative to surrender, then a big war will inevitably be inevitable, in this case, why not accept Zhang Yang and occupy the entire Nanjun effortlessly?
Fortunately, in this Hongmen banquet, the tiger Sun Jian not only accepted Zhang Yang, accepted the Nanjun regime without the slightest twists and turns, but also accepted a general! This general's name is Wen Ping, the word Zhongye, he is a native of Jingzhou, in Nanjun and the entire Jingzhou, the family to which he belongs is very strong, and after receiving Wen Ping, Sun Jian's reputation in Jingzhou suddenly increased greatly!
Sun Jian's actions, in just a few days, alarmed the princes of all parties in the world, for Sun Jian's audacity, the princes can be said to be impressed, but at the same time, these princes also made a small calculation, since Sun Jian can invade the territory of other princes, why can't he?
The main reason for the mutual stability between the princes in the previous time was because there was a common enemy, Dong Zhuo, and now that Dong Zhuo's threat has been temporarily lifted, I naturally need to consider the development of my own forces, and the most direct means to develop my forces is to invade!!
As a result, after Sun Jian dominated Nanjun, the major princes of the world began to make small moves, recruiting soldiers, buying horses, storing grain, and even some small princes couldn't wait to start invading the land of other princes.
Disorderly!! After Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, within a few months, the world was suddenly in chaos, as Dong Zhuo and Li Ru expected, the Kwantung princes who had no common enemy could not be peaceful for a long time, a big war was inevitable, and if you want to achieve the greatest benefit in the melee, you must have absolute strength!
