In February, the day died, and the funeral was not finished, and there were rumors in Luoyang, saying that Liu Xie, who had just ascended the throne, was indeed not the bloodline of the first emperor, and last year's blood test turmoil was made by Liu Xiu, the purpose was to lead things astray, use the benevolence of the first emperor to conceal the truth, and hit the Yuan family and the He family, and at the same time take the opportunity to solve the problem of their family's unknown origin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This rumor is said with a nose and eyes, because it is during the mourning period, Lu Zhi, who is in charge, is so busy that he is dizzy, and he doesn't realize the motive behind this rumor for a while, and the general Dong Zhong and the hussar general Song Feng are a fog, Song Feng only knows how to get angry and arrest people everywhere, but the situation is not only not calm, but it is getting bigger and bigger, and the whole Luoyang is spreading, and it is Taixue who spreads it badly.

As soon as tens of thousands of students who had nothing to do and no hope for their careers heard this kind of topic, they suddenly became excited, one by one, and this matter was rendered into a palace history, and then, a booklet began to circulate in private, writing the story of Lu Buwei sending the pregnant Zhao Ji to Chu, giving birth to a child, and stealing the world of Qin. This story is very attractively written, although there is not a single word related to Liu Xiu, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Buwei in this is Liu Xiu, Zhao Ji is naturally the Empress of Song, and Qin Shihuang is the newly enthroned Tian Liu Xie.

Song Feng, the general of the cavalry, arrested people and confirmed this statement, and the students scattered and fled, bringing this rumor to all directions, and within two months, the story was known to the world. In June, Yuan Shao took out a so-called edict, claiming that it was left by the first emperor, and named him a chariot general, asking him to abolish this heaven that was not the bloodline of the first emperor and re-establish the emperor Liu Bian as the emperor. So he refused to accept Luoyang's edict and raised an army to attack Luoyang.

Lu Zhi reacted and immediately ordered someone to arrest the Yuan family, but at this time he found out. The Yuan family, who had been thinking behind closed doors, had already been empty, leaving only some servants who didn't know the inside story, and the members of the Yuan family had already run away.

very, Yuan Kui appeared in Runan's hometown. As soon as he raised his arms, Liu Yan, the assassin of Yuzhou, wilted, went out of the house in a gray manner, and fled back to Luoyang with his son Liu Zhang, and Yuzhou fell into the hands of the Yuan family.

Lu Zhi hurriedly asked the world to edict that the general Dong Zhong led the Northern Army to garrison Gyeonggi and crusade against the Yuan family. At the same time, Cao Cāo was appointed as the former general, leading the Yanzhou Assassin History, Dong Zhuo as the right general, Tun Changshe, Huangfu Song as the rear general, and Tunyingchuan.

As soon as the edict was issued, something happened in Yanzhou. Cao Cāo killed Bian Rang, a famous scholar who was disrespectful to him, because his means of suppressing the Yanzhou scholars were too violent. As a result, the people of Yanzhou rose up and drove him out of Yanzhou. Cao Cāo was in a hurry and had to flee to Xuzhou. Chongzhou fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and Cao Cāo lost Luoyang's support and had to fight alone. Under Yuan Shao's swift attack, Cao Cāo was trapped in Pengcheng, unable to move, thanks to Dong Zhuo leading the army to attack Yanzhou, Yanzhou's gang of celebrities were fierce, but they were not good at fighting, and they were beaten by Dong Zhuo, and they were in a hurry. Yuan Shao had no choice but to leave a part of the people to besiege Cao Cāo, and he led the main force back to help, and fought a vicious battle with Dong Zhuo in Chenliu, defeating Dong Zhuo with superior forces, and garrisoning sour dates. Coerced Luoyang.

The situation in Nanyang is slightly better, firstly, because Zhu Jun and Zang Min did not believe in the excuse of the Yuan family, and after their opposition was ineffective, they resigned angrily and rushed to Luoyang to pledge their allegiance to the sky, which weakened Yuan Shu's strength, and secondly, Yuan Shu fell into the sandwich attack of Liu Biao and Huangfu Song, although the total strength was superior, but in front of Huangfu Song, a famous general, he could not take any advantage, and could only trap Nanyang. Although Huangfu Song was able to fight, because of the lack of troops and the lack of food and grass, he was unable to attack Nanyang, so he could only hold Yingchuan for support.

Lu Zhi ordered Guanzhong and Bingzhou to send troops to support, and Bingzhou was fine, Zhao Yun was out of Jingcheng, and Wang Yun was out of Fukou, attacking in two ways, but they only had 10,000 soldiers each, and they only threatened Jizhou under the strategy of the Yellow Turban Army and attracted some Jizhou troops, but they were unable to attack Jizhou, causing real trouble to Yuan Shao.

Guanzhong is in trouble, this person has just begun to gather, and those heroes in Guanzhong have made different voices, supporting the Yuan family, questioning the decision of the imperial court, and even taking the troops out of Wuguan to support Yuan Shu. Xun Yu discussed with Yan Zhong and Fu Xie, this pass could not be moved, if the troops were forcibly dispatched, they were afraid that they would not be able to fight Yuan Shu, but they might be attacked by Yuan Shu into Guanzhong, so they jointly wrote a letter requesting a postponement of action, at least after the autumn harvest, because there was no grain in Guanzhong.

Lu Zhi had no choice but to order the generals to retreat temporarily, hold Gyeonggi, and sit back and watch the Kwantung fall into the hands of the Yuan family. In desperation, Lu Zhi had to ask the edict of the world to quickly recall General Wei Liu Xiu. Among the four ministers appointed by the heavens, except for him, those three people are all decorations, and now only Liu Xiu can be relied on.

This is the reason why Mao Zong rushed all the way to Beihai.

Most of these things Liu Xiu knows, although he is in Beihai, he has been paying attention to the situation in the Central Plains, and it can even be said that this situation has long been expected by him. It's just that after all, it is too far away from the Central Plains, and the news is not so timely, and the situation he understands is basically the situation that Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao fought in Chenliu a month ago and achieved some victories in the early stage.

"It's not a good situation." After reading Lu Zhi's handwritten letter, Liu Xiu slowly folded it, put it in his arms, and sighed softly.

"Not really." Mao Zong was a little depressed. Lu Zhi became Sikong, and he also rose to the top, and now he is a six-hundred-stone councilor, and he is very trusted by the heavens. However, Lu Zhi's performance in this accident was not good, and there were some bad comments in the palace, saying that Lu Zhi was only learned and moral, but his ability was very average, and he should be responsible for the deterioration of the court situation to this point, so he almost said that he lived up to the trust of the first emperor and should take the blame and resign. "Almost all of the anointed land in the Kanto region has fallen into the hands of the Yuan family, and the imperial court has no soldiers, and there is no food for food, how can this be fought? They only know that they are sir, but it is better to let them come by themselves. ”

Liu Xiu didn't speak, although Lu Zhi couldn't say that he was incompetent, but his reaction before this emergency was really not enough, and he actually let the Yuan family run away from Luoyang, which was too negligent, right? If Yuan Kui and others are in hand, it is estimated that Yuan Shao is not so arrogant, and now that the hostages are gone, the Yuan family still doesn't throw off their arms? Fortunately, in addition to his slow response, other countermeasures must be appropriate, including the use of famous generals such as Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, and ordering the state to send troops to threaten Jizhou, which are all remarkable, Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song and others are indeed able to fight well, and they still have a good chance of winning against those celebrities in the Kanto, otherwise they would have been defeated a long time ago.

Now the big variable is Cao Cāo, how long can he support Pengcheng, this is very important, as long as he is alive, then Yuan Shao will not be able to go west with all his might, once he is defeated, then Yuan Shao has no worries, and will attack Luoyang wholeheartedly, with Luoyang's troops, I am afraid that it will not last long.

"Why didn't Sir arrange for Bo Jue to go south?"

Mao Zong smiled bitterly: "Don't mention Bo Jue, Mr. ordered him to go south, and he also summoned the Wuhuan people to prepare to send troops, but whoever thought that the problem was the Wuhuan people." He recruited 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry, but did not tell people where to go, they asked two words, he killed them, and as a result, 10,000 Wuhuan people dispersed in a hurry, and only 10,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalry were left under him. ”

Liu Xiu was surprised: "Is there such a thing? ”

"No, you can't think of it, do you? I didn't think of it either. I also just heard about it when I got out of the plug, and I guess my husband will have a headache when he hears the news. ”

"Not only does he have a headache, I also have a headache." Liu Xiu rubbed his temples: "I originally pointed to Bo Jue's back road to copy Yuan Shao, but now it looks ......" He smacked his lips again and again, really feeling a little headache.

"No matter how much headache you have, you can't delay, hurry up. Mr. said that he could hold out for a while now, but he would definitely not last long, and if he could not reverse the situation and support it for another half a year, the court would collapse due to the shortage of food. ”

Liu Xiu nodded again and again, now that several important grain-producing areas in the Han Dynasty have fallen into the hands of the Yuan family, it really can't be delayed any longer. The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Yuan Shao, and after a long time, people will slowly accept this reality, and the moral advantage of the imperial court will slowly be lost.

"And when are you leaving?"

"Let's go?" Liu Xiu glared: "This is nearly five thousand miles away from Luoyang, and it will take me twenty days to rush back with a whip, and after twenty days, who knows if Luoyang has been conquered by Yuan Shao." ”

"And what do you do?"

"I'll send you a message to my husband first." Liu Xiu shook his head: "He was also too busy to faint, and he sent you all the way to find me, but he ignored a real art of war." ”

Mao Zong thought for a moment, "You mean Captain Duan?" After getting Liu Xiu's affirmation, he smiled bitterly and said, "Let me tell you the truth, if Captain Duan is not your Mr. Soldier, he can't sit still with this Captain." ”

"Why, it's the same set of emphasizing literature over military force again, when is this happening?"

Mao Zong grinned, very helpless: "After Mr. was in charge, he imposed more restrictions on the eunuchs, not only Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were repulsed, but also Jian Shuo, who was the minister of Gu Ming, has now been pushed aside, Duan Gong is attached to the throne of Wang Fu, and when Ma stepped on Taixue, Mr. was in Taixue." Now that the old things are brought up again, can Duan Gong still end well? ”

"Ah Fu Wang Fu, then Wang Fu's brother Wang Zhi or Wuyuan Taishou......"

Before Liu Xiu finished speaking, Mao Zong interrupted him and shook his head: "It's already free." ”

Liu Xiu was taken aback: "Wang Zhi was dismissed, why?" ”

"Just because he is Wang Fu's younger brother." The expression on Mao Zong's face was entangled to the extreme: "In addition, he forced Cai Bojiao to live in the rivers and lakes back then. If it weren't for the fact that he had supported you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as dismissal. ”

Liu Xiu was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, four words suddenly popped up in his mind: The scholar misled the country! To be continued
