Chapter 61: Muddy the World

Time changes, and some things don't change because time changes. ↗,

It is said that Dong Zhuo should have retreated into Guanzhong in 191, and in April 192, he fell for Wang Yun's discord and died at the hands of Lu Bu. Before this, he changed from a loyal minister who was determined to save the Han to a middle-aged man who only knew how to enjoy, which shows that during this time, he completely recognized the current situation of the Han and knew that he was powerless to return to the sky.

The ideals and beliefs that he had struggled for most of his life were once denied, which was obviously too big a blow for Dong Zhuo.

In this time and space, he retreated into Guanzhong in 190, although he still formed his small court in the name of Liu Xie, but he found that Liu Xie seemed to be unable to be the leader of the world, and even those old families in Guanzhong could not give orders.

The world's families seem to be against him, even if there is no explicit face, it is against the yang and the yin.

Since coming to Chang'an in April to settle down, in June, I have been pessimistic about everything. I've been busy for Dahan for most of my life, it's time to enjoy it, and there are many people who die in their sixties this year, and God knows how many years to live. At least you have to make up for all your lost youth to be worthy of yourself!

So, he recruited money and beauties from the two states and established a dock fort outside Chang'an City, called 'Yiwu'.

Most of the time, he lived here and hardly went to court. The government was almost lost to his son-in-law Li Ru and younger brother Dong Min to deal with. However, it can also be indirectly seen how insecure he is, after all, he has been assassinated by Hanchen several times so far......

Now, 191 years later, the long-dormant Han official forces in Chang'an City have begun to quietly become active again.

It's just that the courtiers are divided into two factions. One is to advocate going to the state to seek refuge in Liu Bian; One said that he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo and assist Liu Xie. The former is mainly based on Yang Biao, Wang Zifu, and Fu Wan; The latter is dominated by Dong Cheng and Wang Yun.

Perhaps Dong Cheng's position is not very firm. It's just that he is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong. And the old queen mother is very supportive of Liu Xie, and Liu Xie's favorability towards him is not low. On the contrary, if he went to Jinyang, Liu Wei would not be able to guarantee what would happen to him. So as long as you are not a fool, you know how you should choose, unless it is really impossible to do something.

Because their performance is more 'deferential' than other families, Dong Zhuo's people and spies have relaxed their monitoring during this time.

Yang Biao and others are summing up. How to escape from Chang'an and go north to Jinyang. Wang Yun is trying to persuade them to stay, but in order for them to stay, there must be greater interests. Now that Liu Xie is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, he, Wang Yun, and even Dong Cheng can't guarantee anything.

Fortunately, with Lu Bu's two defeats, his status in Dong Zhuo's heart has dropped a lot. In addition, Dong Zhuo gave up on himself, and some time ago, because he was angry, he threw a halberd, and almost killed Lu Bu. However, Dong Zhuo himself was already giving up on himself, so he naturally would not apologize, which also made Lu Bu, who was already a little cautious. Hold a grudge against.

This scene is naturally the best material for Wang Yun's strategy.

He's even thought of a discord plan. Of course, Diao Chan is not really needed, the beauty dispute is just a lubricant, and what really caused Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo to break up was his ambition and dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo.

Obviously, Wang Yun has already started to plan, and when everything is ready, great things can be done!

At the same time, since there was no rebellion by the Montenegrin army in Dongjun, Yuan Shao naturally would not send Cao Cao to support. Now Cao Cao is like a wage earner under Yuan Shao, usually clocking in and out of work on time, living a life of eating and waiting for death.

He really wanted to have a base area, but the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou were all pulled away, and even the Black Mountain Army was absorbed by Fang Yun, what else could he Cao Cao do? If you don't have an excuse to send troops, how can you just leave?!

On the contrary, it is Yuan Shao, after a year of accumulation, he already has a certain strength, and now what he lacks is just territory. At this time, in fact, Guo Tu and Feng Ji had already given suggestions to seize Han Fu's Jizhou.

The method is also very simple, that is, to send a letter to Gongsun Zhan, saying that the joint attack on Jizhou, whoever occupies the land first will belong to whomever it is. At the same time, he bought Han Fu's side and asked him to try to ask him to go to support. Then, the grandiose possession of Jizhou!

Just in case, the bribery was carried out as soon as possible, but he didn't want the matter to start at the beginning, and he bought the Xin brothers, but he didn't want Fang Yun to have already opened up the relationship between Min Chun and Geng Wu, and told Han Fu the fact that the two were bought by Yuan Shao through them. At the same time, with the cooperation of the dark part, a series of 'evidence' is presented.

Han Fu didn't expect that his close courtiers would actually plot against outsiders, but he had to believe it under ironclad evidence. In the end, he was furious and dismissed the two of them for investigation, and if he didn't kill them, it could be regarded as looking at the old feelings.

The two ran out of Yecheng in disgrace, and just happened to go to kidnap Tian Feng's family, and the dark troops found out, and by the way, they were tied up with their families to Jinyang.

At that time, Fang Yun looked at the two people in the next place, and he was also hesitating whether to kill? Or is it a surrender? After all, since their hearts are towards Yuan Shao, before Yuan Shao dies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get their true loyalty......

Fortunately, Xin Ping was not stupid, seeing the killing intent in Fang Yun's eyes, he immediately dragged his younger brother Xin Bi to swear allegiance, and even made the most vicious oath to pledge loyalty. In this way, Fang Yun also had to believe their rhetoric and leave it to Xi Zhicai to arrange.

Since the bribery failed, Yuan Shao naturally had to face Han Fu's anger, and at the same time, the follow-up plan to lure Gongsun Zan south could not be implemented. But what he didn't expect was that Fang Yun helped him implement it.

In 191 AD, that is, in March of the second year of Guang'an, Fang Yun sent an edict from Liu Wei to Gongsun Zhan, appointing him as the pastor of Jizhou.

At the same time, Daijun's army was ready to move and made preparations to attack other states and counties in Youzhou. If Gongsun Chan knew the current affairs, he naturally wanted to go south to Jizhou to grab land as soon as possible, otherwise he could only wait to be wiped out by Fang Yun little by little. Besides, from the right Beiping Taishou to Jizhou Mu, so he doesn't know how to choose, then he deserves to be killed.

Gongsun Chan is not stupid. Sure enough, it was a relocation of the family. Go south to Jizhou. But on this road, he will inevitably meet Yuan Shao's Bohai Navy first. When the time comes, it is clear that a fight is inevitable. Not to mention, if Han Fu wanted to keep his position as the pastor of Jizhou, killing Gongsun Chan was the only choice.

At the same time, two other edicts were issued:

Appointed Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun and gave him a territory in advance, but if he led the army to leave Yuan Shao to be the Taishou because of this, I was afraid that without a suitable reason, Yuan Shao would destroy him first.

Meantime. Liu Bei was appointed as the county governor of Chenliu, and he was ordered to arrive in Chenliu within three months, otherwise the appointment would be invalid. At this moment, Liu Bei has just been appointed by Gongsun Zhan as the commander of Beiping County, sitting in Beiping County, Zhongshan State. One is the county order and the other is the county guard, how Liu Bei will choose without a military advisor, there is almost no need to doubt.

The three edicts led to three different outcomes:

Gongsun Chan was indeed the first to go south, and attacked a large amount of land in the Zhongshan Kingdom, and was about to annex the entire territory. At the same time, this also aroused the hostility of Yuan Shao and Han Fu, and the two temporarily formed an alliance to fight against the enemy together.

But due to an unpleasant experience. This alliance is clearly very shaky. Moreover, Han Fu does not have two generals, Zhang He and Gao Ran. It's not easy to deal with Gongsun Chan.

Cao Cao really used the excuse that after gaining a firm foothold in Dongjun, he would wave his army to the north to attack Jizhou as the main duke (Yuan Shao). Yuan Shao rushed to the word 'lord', and suddenly fluttered, and even denied Feng Ji's statement that 'this is the return of the phoenix and the tiger to the mountain'.

But he didn't want to, Cao Cao came to Dongjun with his headquarters, and sure enough, he quickly stationed down, and steadily went to recover the other forces in Dongjun. In the end, he surrendered the original Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun and established himself in Dongjun. At present, Yuan Shao is still the mainstay, with a lot of good words, and even a lot of gifts, which serve Yuan Shao properly.

At the same time, we are also looking for ways to further expand our territory!

As for Liu Bei, he also resigned from the position of Beiping County Commander in a panic, and quickly went south with his righteous brother Guan Yu and fellow villager Jian Yong. He was stationed in Changyuan County, and it may be said that he captured Changyuan County, and planned to use it as a base to gradually expand to the entire army of Chenliu County.

Fang Yun's arrangement directly put Liu Bei and Cao Cao on the opposite side in advance. After all, the two are adjacent to each other, and if they want to expand, they will inevitably go to war. At that time, I don't know who will win the final victory, no matter who it is, the one who will benefit in the end will be Fang Yun.

During this time, the first caravan to cross the Yellow River had already begun to come to Bingzhou and completed its first business. At the same time, the shipyard in Qingzhou had already begun to be built, and Fang Yun gave some suggestions for building sea ships, all of which were fragmentary knowledge, but for the craftsmen of this era, it was like piercing the window paper, so that the shipbuilding technology could advance by leaps and bounds.

At least ten troops began to make contact with the princes of the world and sell weapons and armor of the lower level.

Fang Yun didn't know what the earth method of steelmaking was, but through the continuous exploration of the Dian family, he at least doubled the casting speed, and at the same time improved the quality, and the secondary weapons that were originally eliminated were naturally impossible to return to the furnace, and Fang Yun was in charge of selling them all in exchange for military funds. Those warlord forces who have already started a war, or are about to go to war, and need a lot of weapons and equipment, are his best customers!

Of course, there is an emphasis here, and that is to buy whoever is weaker.

Even, more than a dozen newly renovated rushing cars were sold to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, making it easier for them to attack the city and seize the land. And the two sides also reciprocated, and all kinds of money confiscated were brought back by the caravan one after another in exchange.

Since the caravan did not reveal its belonging at the beginning, all this was just a spontaneous act of the foreign chamber of commerce in the eyes of the princes, without any political purpose. By the time they found out, they were afraid that they were already at the end of their rope.

After all, while the caravan was selling its goods, it was also actively attracting various local craftsmen to bring them back to Bingzhou with high salaries and benefits. As trade progressed, the productivity of these places would be further destroyed, and the princes' dependence on caravans for weapons would be further increased.

At that time, what will happen if there is a war with the annexed states and the caravans stop selling weapons to them?

Fang Yun said that he is very much looking forward to that day! (To be continued......)

ps: Seriously, when I wrote this chapter, I wanted to fill it with water or something, such as the reaction of one side of the force with a large paragraph of dialogue, expanding to a chapter of 3,000 words or something, so that there can be three chapters of 9000 words!

Although I really want to describe the war quickly, from the next chapter onwards, there will probably be one or two chapters that involve internal affairs, so naturally the war cannot be fought for the time being. u
