Chapter 1085: A Flashing Half a Moon
The next ten days were not peaceful, but also very peaceful.
The reason why it is not calm is for the alliance of princes and Dong Zhuojun.
In the first year of the First Peace, on January 15, 190 A.D., Yuan Shao and all the princes jointly drafted a document to ask for thieves, and sprinkled a message to all parts of Shenzhou, announcing the document to the world. Unlike the previous time to ask for a thief, this time there are eight more words in the thief's article. What are the eight words? That's right, it is the eight words "ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity" on the jade seal of the country. At this moment, the letter of begging for thieves has become a genuine edict for begging for thieves.
For a time, the world shook and the crowd was angry!
History always seems to repeat itself. How similar this scene is. Think about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in power, he issued an edict of rebellion in the world, calling on all states and counties in the world to raise troops to fight against thieves. This was He Jin's idea. At that time, this edict did save the declining Han Dynasty. However, as everyone knows, this is to drink water to quench thirst. In order to defeat the Yellow Turbans, a large number of military forces sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a big one. That edict saved the Han Dynasty and opened the prelude to the division of the heroes.
And now, Yuan Shao put forward the same advice to Emperor Han Xian, under the "reconsideration" of many shrewd princes, the lonely but at the same time eager to defeat the traitor Dong Zhuo, and the Han Xian Emperor who took back Luoyang finally agreed to stamp the jade seal of the country on the inscription. Even if Emperor Han Xian is smart, he is a ten-year-old doll after all, where can he compare to those old fritters? He didn't know that the imperial power of his Liu family had been scraped again.
On January 18, 190 AD, the angry Dong Zhuoqin led an army of 100,000 to the Tiger Pass. In an instant, the strength of the Tiger Prison Pass surged to 150,000! 150,000 people and horses, just one person can drown many people with a mouthful of spit. Occupying the advantage of the terrain and having the large logistics base of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is fully capable of fighting a protracted war with the alliance of princes.
On January 20, 190 A.D., Dong Zhuo ordered Li Xuan, Guo Yan, Hua Xiong and other generals to lead 50,000 soldiers, and did not issue a war letter, and killed directly to the princes' camp, until the front of the princes' camp. The lazy princes, after being shocked, hurriedly raised their troops to defend against the enemy. At one time, nearly 100,000 people killed in the plain area between Tiger Prison Pass and Dayingzhai in the discolored heaven and earth, and the sun and moon were dark. It was from sunrise to sunset in the morning that the two sides were unwilling to withdraw their troops. The casualties of this battle are unknown.
On January 22, 190 AD, Hua Xiong led a thousand flying bear troops, and took advantage of the night to raid the path to the Yuan Shu camp in the rear of the princes' camp, and almost burned the grain and grass of the princes' allied army. Thanks to Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, they led 300 Baiwei soldiers to kill, and they lost nearly half of them before they killed Huaxiong and a thousand flying bear troops. Among them, Hua Xiong was cut off by Guan Yu and fled in embarrassment. Although this battle did not really cause major losses, it shocked the princes into a cold sweat. If the grain and grass are burned, I am afraid that this alliance of princes will not collapse by itself. For this reason, Yuan Shao killed his relatives in righteousness and severely punished Yuan Shao with 20 military sticks. But this grain superintendent is still Yuan Shu unchanged. On the contrary, Liu Guanzhang and the others, who made great contributions, only received Yuan Shao's sentence "Fortunately", plus a few rewards of wine, food, and grass. Even Emperor Xian of Han wanted to take some of the captives to supplement Liu Bei's personnel, but the princes opposed them. In the end, Cao Cao, who has been in the limelight recently, generously borrowed 1,000 soldiers and horses from Liu Bei. Poor Liu Bei, even though he played a clever "division of skills", he forgot that his own strength was too small.
On January 24, 190 A.D., the angry princes, despite the opposition of Emperor Xian of Han, exhumed the corpses of Lü Bu and Chitu Ma, and the dead soldiers brought Lü Bu's corpses to the Tiger Prison Pass to shout. Lu Bu has always been famous, and he is even more like a myth in Dong Zhuojun. When he saw Lu Bu's decomposing head and body, as well as the corpse of the Red Rabbit Horse, Dong Zhuojun's morale dropped to a low point. Yuan Shao immediately selected the princes of the Eighth Route and led an army of 50,000 to kill the Tiger Pass. Among the princes of the Eight Roads, there are Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao. And Liu Bei was forced to Gongsun Chan by Yuan Shao - after the rescue incident, Gongsun Chan had a grudge against Liu Bei, coupled with the provocation of "people with hearts", Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei had very little contact. At this time, Yuan Shao did this, obviously wanting to borrow a knife to kill people. As for who is the knife and who is the person who was killed, it doesn't matter much, anyway, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don't like them. In this battle, from the three poles of the sun to the tip of the moon, they finally gave up because of the excessive damage to the personnel on both sides.
On January 25, 190 A.D., the princes of the alliance army of the nine road princes were all in trouble, and all kinds of rumors spread in the camp. Next, it was ignition and poisoning, and all kinds of means emerged one after another, which made the princes' coalition army unbearable. I don't know which immoral ghost came up with these disgusting methods. However, it can be seen that this Dong Zhuo was really mad with anger, first lost the emperor, and then lost his righteous son, and he was angry at everything.
Therefore, in the past ten days, it has been really lively. And as the price of the excitement, more than 50,000 flesh and blood were ground into powder by the meat grinder of war. How many broken families are there in the world. But the power gainers don't care about that, and the fighting will continue unless the political goal is achieved.
In the midst of such constant fighting, death and death, the footsteps of time came to January 30, 190 AD
And the reason why it is said to be very quiet is for the students of the two colleges and universities of Dongsheng and Xishen. Because in the past half a month, the very strange two sides have not made any more moves, as if they have agreed in advance. So much so that in the past half a month, not a single death on both sides has been a miracle. It was as if the surface of a calm and windless lake did not ripple at all. This is in stark contrast to the situation between the princes and Dong Zhuojun. However, it is clear to every student of the university that this calm is just a false appearance, and secretly does not know how many schemes are being planned, and how many actions are being carried out secretly. So, this calm definitely won't last long. Just one moment later, a new round of competition will erupt like a volcano.
Yin Kuang is very idle on the surface these days.
As the general of Yulin Zhonglang, his duty is to guard the safety of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. But in reality, it was not his turn to worry about this matter at all. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had 300 guards, and these 300 people were all selected from the elite of the 18th Route Princes' Army, named Emperor Suwei, but in fact they were surveillance, and they didn't listen to Yin Kuang's orders at all—although Yin Kuang was not in the mood to order them. Pity this little emperor, just out of the tiger's den, and into the birdcage again. Of course, this is a very delicate birdcage, so delicate that no bird inside will think it's a birdcage.
In the treatment of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the princes of the Eighteen Roads reached an unprecedented, unbelievable unanimous tacit understanding. And Yin Kuang can be sure that they don't talk to each other. Although the outside of the camp was hot, inside the camp, except for the panic caused by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, the rest of the time was even more peaceful than the peaceful and prosperous times. Every day, they would go to court in a makeshift court tent, and the monarchs and ministers would discuss the matter of the thief. Almost another imperial court was formed. And Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's two brothers are almost equivalent to the "Three Princes", and the rest are almost "Jiuqing". Every time he went to the court, Yin Kuang, the general of the Yulin Zhonglang, stood outside the tent. It can be seen that the little emperor enjoys the feeling of being guarded by all the princes very much, and he is becoming more and more energetic. It was as if he saw the hope of the revival of the Han Empire and the dawn of becoming the first emperor of the ages. But Yin Kuang knew very well that this group of princes was grabbing more and more rights from the little emperor little by little. These days, even though Yin Kuang didn't know much about the control official positions in the Han Dynasty, he could hear that almost every one of these princes had been promoted.
"It's too tender after all."
Yin Kuang sighed like this more than once. He thought about talking to that Wang Yue, but seeing Wang Yue's joyful appearance when he was flattered by the princes, Yin Kuang thought about it and forgot it. This Wang Yue, he walked around before the ghost gate was closed, and he still didn't open his mind, what could Yin Kuang do? By the way, Wang Yue was also named a "Taichangqing" official by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Yin Kuang didn't bother to care what he was doing. Now that the little emperor has been floated up to the clouds by the princes, it is estimated that he will not be able to find the north. Alas, he didn't want to think about it, he was a little doll with no soldiers and no generals, even if he was an emperor, what was it? And you have set up this official and that official here, and when the time comes to take back Luoyang, a large group of officials will collide together, and see how you end.
It's messy, it really makes Yin Kuang think...... Kill him!
If it weren't for killing Lu Bu and disrupting the deployment of the Western God, Yin Kuang really felt that this little emperor was a wrong decision.
Of course, Yin Kuang didn't put too much thought into these messy things. He is idle on the surface, but secretly he searches for prey like a poisonous snake. It's just that the problem is that the prey seems to be very well hidden, and no anomalies can be found. So secretly, Yin Kuang is actually very busy, and he is busy in vain.
During this period, he didn't make a move, but Xishen didn't fight back, which made Yin Kuang have nowhere to start. The situation is deadlocked. However, the more this happened, the more alert he became.
Yin Kuang had a feeling that a storm was approaching......
