Chapter 67: Enlightenment
In March of the first year of Chuping, in the fifth month of Li Xuantun's stationing in Liangdong, after Cao Cao's assassination of Dong failed, he issued an edict to the world, calling on heroes from all walks of life in the world to raise troops and work together to support the Han Dynasty.
"Cao only proclaims to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, the Son of Heaven has issued a secret edict, gathered a large number of volunteers, and vowed to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; support the royal family and save the people; When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! ”
"Mengde's literary talent has grown." Li Xuan sat on the self-made Taishi chair, looked at the edict in his hand casually, and commented with a smile, and then, his eyes looked at the Empress Dowager He in front of him with a smile in his eyes: "The Empress Dowager is hoping to get the support of these people and help her regain the throne?" ”
"Li Qing thinks it's inappropriate?" Empress Dowager He gritted her teeth, and under Li Xuan's gaze that seemed to be able to perceive people's hearts, she was a little flustered, and then gritted her teeth and looked at Li Xuan and said: "It's a hundred times stronger than some people who are treacherous with that Dong Zhuo wolf. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "The alliance of princes, if the previous emperor can stand up, in terms of righteousness, the princes will be more convincing, but once you appear, Weichen estimates that this alliance will end early." ”
"What do you mean?" He Hou was stunned and looked at Li Xuan in confusion.
"Don't understand?" Li Xuan looked at He Hou, who looked puzzled, shook his head and sighed: "If you want to know this, you must first figure out why the princes want to raise troops to fight Dong?" ”
"It's for Kuang Fu Han's room!" He then took it for granted.
"Kuang Fu Han Room?" Li Xuan looked at Empress He with a look of surprise, as if he knew her for the first time, and the expression revealed in his eyes made Empress He feel like an idiot at this moment.
"Li Qing has a different opinion?" Don't look a little ugly, and say quite dissatisfied.
"Kuang Fu Han Room. It's just a banner that the princes used to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and if you really take this seriously, then you will lose. Li Xuan shook his head and smiled.
"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother's cold face was flushed with a touch of iron, she looked at Li Xuan, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Then you say." Why did they crusade against Dong Zhuo? ”
"Jealousy!" Li Xuan sighed and said.
"Jealous!?" There was a look of confusion in Empress He's eyes.
"Yes, it's jealousy." Li Xuan said with a smile: "Because Dong Zhuo did what many people wanted to do but did not dare to do, therefore, the princes joined forces to raise troops to crusade against him. In fact, there is not much difference in itself, so once the debate appears, at the beginning, everyone may unite as one, but once the offensive is blocked, the princes' minds are not aligned, and the princes of the eighteen towns are not aligned. It sounds like a big deal, but it also represents eighteen different minds. Since it is impossible to defeat Dong Zhuo, it is also a good choice to hold the debate in your hands, and it is even easier than attacking Luoyang, because friends are always better to deal with than enemies! ”
He Hou felt a little chill in her body, she didn't want to believe Li Xuan's words, and she didn't want to believe it. But Li Xuan's words have impacted her cognition again and again, she is not a young girl who doesn't understand the world, and years of court life have made her know that people are sinister. In the past, she just didn't want to think about it, she needed some motivation to support herself, but now, that ethereal hope was ruthlessly broken by Li Xuan.
"What about Li Qing? Can the mourning family still trust you? He Hou's somewhat sad gaze finally fell on Li Xuan, and now, looking around, it seems that only Li Xuan is left to rely on.
"What do you say? My Queen Mother? Li Xuan laughed, stretched out his hand, and in the woman's exclamation, pulled He Hou into his arms, and skillfully picked it with his fingertips, the luxurious silk dress slid down the silky skin, revealing a large piece of snow-white softness, and the big hand unceremoniously nested a ball of softness in his hand, feeling its huge and warm.
"Shechen!" The noble and cold Queen Mother let out a mournful moan, and had the heart to resist, but her body went against her will, and in Li Xuan's embrace full of male masculinity, she fell shamefully, catering to the other party's caresses against her will, and her mouth made the Queen Mother feel ashamed and indignant.
Outside the door, Huang Rong and Zhao Min, who were coming together, paused, listening to the blood-pumping sound coming from the room, the two women were stunned, and then glanced at each other, they could see the helplessness and resentment in each other's eyes, Zhao Min's face was red, and his silver teeth were biting, and he wanted to go in, but was pulled by Huang Rong.
In any case, Li Xuan is the master of the three armies, as his woman, he should maintain his dignity, if he rushes in like this and makes a fuss, not only will he not be able to solve the problem, but he will also lose face.
"Cao Mengde's envoy is just outside the door, how can we reply?" Zhao Min said dissatisfied.
"Let's just say he'...... I was too tired yesterday and haven't woken up yet...... Anyway, let's put it off for a while. Shaking her head, Huang Rong said helplessly.
"Ah~" In the room, Empress He's sanity was finally completely destroyed in the wave of fast tide, and he screamed into the sky, through the gaps in the doors and windows, he could vaguely see the noble and cold Empress He in the past at this moment, but now his beautiful eyes turned white, his delicate body spasmed, and even shamelessly took the initiative to put the mature and plump carcass tightly on Li Xuan's broad chest, raised his head, and took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss, which was dignified and cold in the past, almost like two people.
"I really can't see that this queen mother is dignified and cold on weekdays, and she is so ...... in her bones" Zhao Min couldn't help but take a sip, didn't continue, felt that his body seemed to be a little hot, and looked back at Huang Rong, it didn't seem to be much better than his own situation, the two women looked at each other, and left as if they were fleeing together, this place is really not suitable for continuing to stay, otherwise something will happen.
"The princes have rushed to the Sour Jujube Alliance one after another, and we should almost leave, but in whose name?" Zhao Min asked a little absent-mindedly.
"Naturally, it's the husband's." Huang Rong calmed down a little flustered, and said lightly, whether it is the Queen Mother or Liu Wei, they are all shadows in Li Xuan's hands, and they can't be seen in front of others at present, otherwise the goal of the princes' crusade will have to be changed.
In April of the first year of Chuping (190 AD), the princes of all walks of life arrived one after another. plus Li Xuan, a total of nineteen town princes, princes from all walks of life, the number of soldiers and horses, the strongest military is Yuan Shao, this period of time. Although there is only one place in the Bohai Sea under the rule of Jizhou, because of its gate valve background, Shengsheng pulled up a force of 400,000 people to go south, and the strength of the male should be the first.
Secondly, Nanyang is too thin Yuan Shu, I have to say that Yuan Kui's vision is extremely old and spicy, and the land planned for the two of them has good potential. Although Yuan Shu did not pour out like Yuan Shao, he also brought an army of 200,000 and countless grains and grasses.
In addition to the two of them, the other princes from all walks of life were as little as 350,000 and as many as 100,000, gathering millions of troops in the sour date, and the military camp alone stood for more than 700 miles, looking at it. Spectacular.
After Yuan Shao arrived, among the princes. Except for the distant princes such as Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng, who have not yet arrived, the other princes who have already decided their positions have basically been in place, and they did not immediately organize an attack on Luoyang, but set up a banquet to invite all the princes.
It's not that Yuan Shao wants to put on a show, in fact. In this period, Dong Zhuo, who occupied Luoyang, Chang'an, and Xiliang, regardless of territory, financial resources, military strength or population base, even if the princes joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Dong Zhuo. It is a well-deserved first prince, plus Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in the world, in addition to Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao and other fierce generals, even if the princes gather millions of coalition troops, they may not dare to say that they will win, not to mention that the princes of these eighteen towns are still different, far from the difference as stated in history, and even when it comes to comprehensive combat power, the princes are still at a disadvantage, in this case, there is no border army led by Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng to participate in the war, and they really dare not say victory.
"Why don't you see Zhenbei General Li Xuan?" After the princes sat down, Yuan Shao, who had faintly become the leader of the alliance, looked around the left and right, suddenly raised his eyebrows, frowned and asked left and right.
"My lord, my lord is not feeling well, and now he is resting in the barracks. Among the princes, Li Xuan was the only one who sent someone to represent him to the banquet, especially since the representative was still a little-known school, which made everyone even more angry.
"Humph!" Yuan Shu and Li Xuan were already secretly filthy when they were in Luoyang, and at this moment, they couldn't help but snort coldly, looked at the little school, and said without yin or yang: "Li Ziyang is such a big official!" The sages present, who is not a person of great virtue who is famous in the sea, not to mention illness, and sent such a thing, could it be that he Li Ziyang doesn't take us in his eyes? ”
Yuan Shao also wanted to squeeze it, but when he saw Yuan Shu open his mouth, he was also happy to have someone help him as a gun and watch from the wall.
Xu Huang glanced at the angry princes on his face, and said loudly without humility or arrogance: "My lord said that the real sage is not a big family background, nor is he boasting or fame or anything, there is no reputation to accumulate, as for the family background, hehe, forgive Huang for being disrespectful, two hundred years ago, the Yuan family was as prominent as it is today?" ”
"Bold!" Yuan Shu's face suddenly became gloomy, he really didn't expect that a small partial general under Li Xuan would dare to speak out to him, looked at Xu Huang, and pointed sharply: "What kind of identity are you, you dare to criticize me here, Yuan, come here, take down this madman for me!" ”
As his words fell, a book named Jiashi immediately rushed in to subdue Xu Huang, but Xu Huang was rewarded by Xu Huang alone, rolled into a piece, looked at Yuan Shu, and said with a smile: "What the lord said is really good, heroes don't ask where they come from, real heroes, why bother talking about their origins all day long, but I don't know how many people are worthy of being called heroes!" ”
"Bold!" At this moment, Yuan Shu only felt that the military general in front of him was really annoying, just like his lord, what kind of person was it, what kind of soldiers he led, the master was arrogant and domineering, and even with his subordinates, there was no one in his eyes.
"Haha, maybe Ziyang is really sick, I think this person is generous, not like a treacherous person, he may be unknown today, but who can know his achievements in the future, now that the crusade against Dong Thief is imminent, why should the highway mess up?" Cao Cao came forward with a smile and played a round game, and at the same time felt a sadness in his heart, seeing that the enemy was current, the princes didn't think about how to retreat from the enemy, but they were intriguing with each other here, so that the coalition army, is there really any hope?
Xu Huang glanced at Cao Cao in surprise, flashed a flash of admiration, and bowed his head slightly, but Yuan Shu snorted sullenly and sat down, after all, no matter how nameless Xu Huang is, what he represents is Li Xuan.
The group of princes sat down again, but the atmosphere between the words was a little less lively than before, and finally broke up unhappily. (To be continued......)
