Chapter 37 The Shape of the Mountains
And Zhou Yu, Wu Qiong, and others who proposed the above strategies must have been hated by Dong Zhuo, and when the rumors were together, Dong Zhuo made them go to prison. Almost at the same time, Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, whose family was located in Luoyang's Yuan Mansion, was besieged by Dong Zhuo's soldiers.
This is exactly the method that Dong Zhuo used to deal with Yuan Shao, even if he can't threaten Yuan Shao and the local forces in the Kanto region, he can vent his anger at the last moment! As for what Dong Zhuo thinks, Wen Chou still can't figure it out. However, in the end, more than 200 people from the Yuan family were indeed killed by him. This also further intensified the process of the world's scholars returning to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, so that they could quickly stand out when the heroes rose together, so that one became the overlord of Hebei and the other opened up the 'Zhong Dynasty'!
It can be said that in the early period of the late Han Dynasty, it was the two brothers who fought and fought between them. After that, it was the rise of Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others. At the beginning, Sun Jian was subordinate to Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was subordinate to Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei was repeated among the princes. The beheading of the Yuan family contributed to the formation of such a situation to a large extent, making the world's scholars and party members more interested in the Yuan family.
In addition, Dong Zhuo has already grasped the absolute control of the Luoyang soldiers, not only the central army and the forbidden army left after the death of the two brothers He Jin and He Miao, but also the army led by Jin Wu Ding Yuan, plus all Dong Zhuo's own soldiers, Dong Zhuo's family background has risen several levels at once, and it is no wonder that Dong Zhuo has dared to do so many things that have lost his conscience recently! Because he has a huge military force to support him.
The combat power of Dong Zhuo's troops is hardly weaker than that of the Kwantung Coalition Army! That's what makes him scary! Even if there are not 108,000, there should be as many as 50,000 or 60,000, and most of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. It's not the newly hastily recruited of the Kwantung Army, it's just a slightly trained soldier who can compare it! However, the number of the coalition army is several times that of Dong Zhuo's army, which is also the only advantage of the coalition army. However, if Dong Zhuo really dared to fight to the death, maybe he would really be able to defeat the Kwantung Coalition Army.
However, according to Wen Chou's cognition, the Eastern Cooperation Association may have been afraid that Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in Kansai would take advantage of the situation, so they did not engage in any life-and-death battles with the coalition forces. Instead, the decision to move the capital to Chang'an was made at the first time. Of course, there was also the fact that the Luoyang fire burned for three days and three nights. But the specific reason, Wen Chou does not know.
And Dong Zhuo's fixed action was also effective, so that the Kwantung Coalition Army did not raise troops to the west, but began to fight against each other! I really don't know if that's the cause, that's the effect. But these events really happened and have remained in the history books.
After inspecting Pingjian County, Wen Chou did not immediately rush to Gaoyi County, his base camp, but continued to the north, passing through Duyi Luancheng County. After an investigation of Luancheng County, he had already crossed Du Yizhi's position at this time, but his friendship with Du Yi was still continuing, and there was no disrespect because of the rise in status, which made Du Yi very relieved, and also had some expectations for the future.
According to his situation, if he had not come forward with Wen Chou, he would have ended his political career long ago. It is also possible to die in that thief attack, not to mention the position of the king of Luancheng County today. And there is also the possibility of further promotion. If Wen Chou can rise again, can he not reuse himself? Therefore, he often proclaimed his friendship with Wen Chou in the county, which made the county officials compliment and envy him.
In Luancheng's inspection, Wen Chou also came in the order of Pingjian County, which naturally included military intelligence, soldiers, weapons, ordnance, and then people's livelihood and people. This can be regarded as a matter of Wen Chou's emergency to ask Dong. And Du Yi's Luancheng County also made Wen Chou quite satisfied. Although it is not as consensual as Pingjian County.
After that, Wen Chou also began to go to the county to govern Yuanshi County, which was to take up the position of the new lieutenant Changshan, and the safety of Changshan Country was his top priority as the new fake lieutenant. So he had to go to Yuanshi County first, and the previous Pingjiao, Luancheng and other things. It's just a matter of being ugly. Another important factor for his arrival in Changshan County was to meet with Prime Minister Li Jin again.
As soon as he took up the post of lieutenant, he was going to Luoyang, the capital of God, so his influence as a lieutenant of Changshan would inevitably not be able to expand, nor could he have any sense of recognition in the northern counties of Changshan, which required the cooperation of Li Jin, the minister of Changshan, so that Wen Chou's influence could still spread when he was far away from the jurisdiction.
This is the reason why Wen Chou came in a hurry, not only that, but in the future, as Lieutenant Changshan, he will go to the counties in the county to inspect it, which is the act of brushing his face. forcibly made all the counties in the county aware of his existence as a trusted lieutenant.
The second is to explain some important things to Li Jin, so that he can serve as the last line of defense for his own gifts, and can help the building to fall at the most critical time! After such tasks, Li Jin and others can take on it, and only Li Jin can trust him.
Soon, the arrival of Wen Chou, and his reputation as the new lieutenant of Changshan, were deliberately promoted by Wen Chou's forces, and spread to all parts of the county. This time, Wen Chou was finally able to get his wish as a local magistrate. Although it is not the number one place like the minister of state and the county guard, it can be regarded as the number one leader of Changshan country, for Li Jin's sake.
Wen Chou did not stay long in the county of Yuanshi, after handing over to the former lieutenant, and not long after issuing some important orders, he handed over this post to Li Jin and his people, and then went north to inspect himself.
The inspection in the north included the two counties of Zhending and Jiumen, while Lingshou, Nanxing Tang, Jingcheng, Bowu and other places did not go because they were the sphere of influence of Zhang Yan, the general of Pingnan. This is the status quo of Changshan State, with a total of thirteen or fourteen cities, of which Zhang Yan and other thieves occupy as many as four or five, and after Guo Daxian occupied the house county before, there were as many as six or seven.
Now Wen Chou can only control four or five, and there are three or four cities that belong to the forces of the former lieutenant, such as Zhending, Jiumen, etc., but now these forces are being assimilated by Wen Chou, and after he returns from Dong Zhuo's battle, it is time for him to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Yan.
