Chapter 552 New Han Kaiyuan

Time came to the first four years of the Han Dynasty, the situation in the world was still in turmoil, the princes fought against each other, under the smoke everywhere, what flickered was the sword light and sword shadow, and what was covered was a lot of intrigues and tricks.

Everything seems to be no different, even if Yanzhou and Luoyang change hands at the same time, and Sun Ce Fen Xun Jiangdong is such a major event, it is not surprising that it seems so bland in the troubled times.

In fact, Sun Ceping's battle in Jiangdong was fought more fiercely than in history, and the results were more brilliant.

His move to cross the river aroused the great attention of Liu Xuan, who divided his troops into two routes, led the main force to the east into Moling, and wēixié stationed troops in Yunyang's Sun Ce, with Zhang Ying as the main general, marched east along the Huaishui River and outflanked Yunyang.

In the face of the two armies that were far superior in strength, Sun Ce calmly dealt with it. He listened to Zhou Yu's advice, attacked the east and the west, pretended to go east to Qu A and his uncle Wu Jing to join the army, misled Liu Xuan, and when Zhang Ying was urgently ordered to intercept him, Sun Ce suddenly turned his spearhead and attacked Liu Xuan for a long time, directly attacking Liu Xuan's Chinese army.

Liu Miao was caught off guard, and was attacked by Sun Ce in Jiangcheng, and he couldn't resist it, so he could only retreat to Moling and defend the city while urgently calling Zhang Ying back for help.

Who would have thought that Zhou Yu would make another false move, and after repelling Liu Xuan, he and Sun Ce split their troops. Taking advantage of the victory to pursue, the troops besieging Moling were thousands of old and weak led by him, bluffing, waving Sun Ce's general flag, disguised as the main force, and frightened Liu Xuan.

However, Sun Ce himself had already led all the elite troops and ambushed them on the only way to return to Moling.

Zhang Ying didn't notice it, and hurried all the way in a hurry, but crashed headlong into Sun Ce's ambush circle. The battle of Fangshan. Zhang Ying's entire army was annihilated, and he was captured by Sun Cesheng. Escorted to the foot of Moling City and intimidated the defenders in the city. The defenders were terrified and their morale plummeted.

Liu Miao had no choice but to go out of the city to fight, hoping to rely on the advantage of troops to repel Sun Ce, and wait for Xue Li and Zhenrong's reinforcements to come to the rescue. However, although there is still a gap between the strength of the two sides, the strength of the two sides has been reversed.

Xue Li's reinforcements were blocked by Wu Jing, and Zhen Rong used his usual ability to see the wind and steer the rudder. Seeing that the situation was not good, he abandoned Liu Xuan, who had taken him in when he was desperate, and took advantage of the fierce battle between Liu Xuan and Sun Ce to turn around and run, and ran to Poyang County in one go.

The isolated Liu Miao was completely unable to resist Sun Ce's onslaught, and in the two battles of Zhongshan and Shizigang, Sun Ce broke Liu Xuan's main force in one fell swoop, beheaded Fan Neng, the general under Liu Xuan, captured him alive, and died in his armpit. Since then, the power of Jiangdong has been greatly boosted, and the name of "Jiangdong Little Overlord" has begun to be praised by Jiangdong people.

With the power of victory, Sun Ce gave the soldiers. issued a proclamation to the subordinate counties: "Liu Xuan, Zhenrong's villagers, and subordinates surrender without asking; Those who are willing to join the army. can be from the army, and exempt the whole family from taxation and conscription; If you don't want to join the army. No reluctance. ”

After the proclamation was issued, the followers gathered like a storm. Gathered from all directions, Sun Ce gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and raised thousands of war horses in the middle of the month, and jumped to the top of the world's strongest men.

Liu Xuan retreated to Dantu in defeat, gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and contacted Yuan Shu, intending to join forces with the other party to flank Sun Ce. How could Zhou Yu have already been in front of him, Sun Ce sent a large amount of treasures to Yuan Shu early, saying that he still regarded himself as a vassal.

And Yuan Shu was originally a man of insight, because the good thing of annexing Xuzhou was stirred up, he had long regarded Wang Yu as an imaginary enemy. Since Sun Ce knew each other like this, he didn't need to make more trouble, he pondered, if he planned properly, he might be able to use Sun Ce as a gunman to deal with Wang Yu.

So he gladly accepted the gift and appointed Sun Ce as the general of Zhenkou, and ordered the latter to continue to attack Jiangdong.

Yuan Shu obviously overestimated himself and underestimated Sun Ce, and his indiscretion gave Liu Xuan a fatal blow, causing the latter to completely lose his fighting spirit, and he gave up the Dantu and retreated to Yuzhang to join his fellow sect Liu Biao.

At this point, although there are still several major forces such as Yan Baihu, Xu Gong, and Wang Lang entrenched in Jiangdong, these people are purely local forces, and they are far inferior to Liu Xuan.

Sun Ce thus laid the foundation for Jiangdong's hegemony.

Of course, Wang Yu is very concerned about this, but for the people of the world, this is just a local war that happened in a remote area, although it has achieved the names of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but its influence is far worse than Yanzhou and Luoyang changing hands at the same time.

But even if it is such a major event as Yan and Luo Yizhu, the influence is not as good as another thing, that is, the new year name applied under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou!

The era name is a unique noun in ancient China, in addition to being used in the year, it also means praying for blessings, singing praises and changing the dynasty. From the Han Wu era, it became a law and continued until the end of the Chinese imperial system.

In the case of the end of the Han Dynasty, the names of Zhongping and Chuping are undoubtedly the good wishes of those in power, hoping that peace will be restored in the world. But the world is impermanent, never shifted by people's will, from the first year of Zhongping, the chaos in the world has been chaotic day by day.

Until now, whether it is the powerful minister Dong Zhuo or the nominal Son of Heaven, they have lost the mood to pray in this way. As a result, Wang Yu preempted the lead, and without informing the imperial court at all, he changed the yuan to 'Kaiyuan'!

This is undoubtedly an unprecedented event, although there has also been a precedent for an emperor to change the yuan many times during his reign, but generally speaking, changing the yuan means changing the dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty, even the emperor was called by the year.

Without the will of the Son of Heaven, he changed the yuan without authorization, and Wang Yu brought a great surprise to the people of the world.

It is said that this act is a great rebellion, comparable to usurpation, and it just gives the princes who are afraid and afraid of Qingzhou a pretext to launch a siege of Qingzhou. In fact, the first time they heard the news, the princes did think so, and it is reported that Yuan Shu was so happy that he jumped up from his seat and shouted in ecstasy.

However, soon he couldn't be happy, and with the news of the yuan change, there was also the news that Wang Yu swore in public that he would not be the emperor.

Since he is not the emperor, it will not involve the change of dynasty, and it will naturally not be able to talk about usurpation or anything. Although this will not affect the hostility of the princes towards Wang Yu, the siege is not so justified.

After Yuan Shu heard the news, he also scolded: "Change the yuan and don't usurp the throne." What kind of charter is this? If you don't usurp the throne, why do you change the yuan? Does the light map sound good? The big husband dares to be the emperor, if he wants to be the emperor. You don't deserve, Lao Tzu still wants to ...... Damn Pengju children. It's clearly a trick on me! ”

There are many people who have similar ideas to Yuan Shu, in short, they don't understand all kinds of things.

There are people who are just like Yuan Shu who are purely scolding and venting, and some people think that Wang Yu is fighting step by step with the idea of implementing the new year name first, and then stealing the power of other sons of heaven, such as adding nine tins, putting the guard of honor of the son of heaven, entering the prince and sealing the king, and taking the power of the son of heaven step by step. In the end, it came naturally, and in its place, it was a well-thought-out approach.

As for the oath not to be emperor......

It's all out to mix, who doesn't understand this? The oath is the oath, the oath is Wang Yu's own business, in the future, the subordinates will persuade him, and the yellow robe will be added, can he really push the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor outward?

It's just that no one can use this reason to blame Wang Yu in a grand manner. After all, Jiajiu Xi or anything hasn't happened yet, everything is deduced according to the laws of unspoken rules. It is not known who publicizes these things and whether they can hurt Wang Yu, but his dark side must be exposed first. Hurting others is not the first thing to hurt yourself, and this kind of business cannot be done.

Neither a siege nor a verbal attack can be made. The princes could only set their eyes on Chang'an.

There is no way to justify the righteousness, so you can only expect top-down pressure. Wang Yu's power to patrol the heavens on behalf of the Son of Heaven was given by the Son of Heaven, and of course the Son of Heaven could take it back. At the very least, he can issue a decree to reprimand and order Wang Yu to correct his improper behavior.

None of the close princes wanted to provoke Wang Yu first, and they all pondered that Dong Zhuo and Wang Yu's enmity was as deep as the sea, and they were far away, and they were not afraid of incurring the blows of the hussars, and the next will should be natural.

But no one expected that Dong Zhuo also had his own troubles.

Dong Zhuo was not afraid of going to war with the Sixth Army of the Hussars, but he was afraid that Wang Yu would stop trading with Guanzhong.

Only after experiencing it can you know how to cherish it, Dong Zhuo is not ignorant of economic operations, at least he knows that minting money is very profitable. But after the money was too much, he didn't know how to deal with it, and half of the withering and decay in Guanzhong was caused by his excessive money.

It was Wang Yu who saved his life.

First, after Baibo won the great victory of Anyi and the battle of Dongyuan, he still maintained the proposal to withdraw the army, and gave Hedong half to Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo had the most fatal breath; Then although the caravans coming and going from Qingzhou made a lot of money, they also greatly alleviated the crumbling economic crisis in Guanzhong.

The military and civilians saw the hope of survival because of this, and Dong Zhuo didn't breathe a long sigh of relief?

As long as he continues to maintain the current situation, he will be able to truly recuperate, complete the danger of supporting Guanshan formulated by Li Ru, and sit and watch the melee of the Central Plains, waiting for the time of day. Three years before Chu Ping, he was purely surviving.

At this time, how dare he provoke Wang Yu and make an order? In case Wang Yu gets angry, he stops trade first, and then sends that Xu Shu over to stir up the wind and rain, and this day will not be able to live.

Don't say that Dong Zhuo doesn't dare, even if he insists on going his own way, the generals of Xiliang will persuade him to endure it for a year or two, and when the situation in Guanzhong is stable, it's not too late to do it again, just turn his face now, isn't that going to lose both?

However, Li Ru gave Dong Zhuo an idea, and he suggested that Dong Zhuo simply push this issue to the Son of Heaven and the minister. It doesn't have to be an order, just hold a few court meetings in which Dong Zhuo does not participate, and at the meeting, the Son of Heaven will take the lead, and everyone will scold Wang Yu a few times. Anyway, what the princes want is just a name, and then they can join forces.

Dong Zhuo thought so and began to show Luo.

But Li Ru was soon disappointed, and he found that the court ministers were not ordinary smart, nor were they ordinary spineless.

Dong Zhuo's scruples, the ministers also have them, no one wants to lose that lifeline on the water, the hard days of the past two years, everyone has had enough. If someone takes the lead, it's okay to follow the coaxing, but who dares to take the lead?

After annoying Wang Yu, who knows what that madman will do? The initiator, that's the culprit! When Wang Yuxing asked for the guilt and the heroes retreated, it was no wonder that the culprit was not cut by a thousand knives.

Those who are not afraid of Wang Yu are only the Son of Heaven himself!

However, to everyone's disappointment, the Son of Heaven himself did not have any dissatisfaction with this.

Liu Xie is thirteen years old this year, has basic judgment ability, and knows the significance of Wang Yu's change of yuan. But he doesn't care, no matter how bad Wang Yu is, can he be worse than Dong Zhuo? This dead fat man even dared to rob his father's concubines at home, and even his own concubines were killed when they said they were killed, and they were abolished when they said they were abolished.

It's true that the hussar general has changed the yuan, but he also swears not to be the emperor! Relatively speaking, what a brave loyalty! If you take the initiative to blame such a loyal minister, will anyone still be willing to be a loyal minister in the future? Aren't there only villains like Echo Worm and Dong Zhuo left in the court?

He was looking forward to Wang Yu rescuing him, for this, he could pay any price other than the throne, how could he take the initiative to attack Wang Yu?

The government and the opposition remained silent, the princes lost their voices, and the matter of Qingzhou's change of yuan became a foregone conclusion.

It was from the fourth year of the first peace that the world officially entered the strange situation of two parallel years, but only one son of heaven reigned.

According to the folk customary name, this year is also known as the fourth year of the early Han Dynasty, or the first year of the New Han Dynasty.
