Zhu Jun is a famous general in the late Han Dynasty.

In the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the imperial court appointed Zhu Jun as the right middle general, holding the festival, and going out together with Huangfu Song.

In the battle of breaking the yellow scarf, he won a great victory and credit.

After that, it shook Hebei, and beat the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan and others.

Possess a lot of prestige.

When Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he wanted to worship Zhu Jun as the vice minister, and wanted to use Zhu Jun's reputation to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible.

However, Zhu Jun did not agree.

Later, Zhu Jun took the opportunity to flee and went to Jingzhou, where he gathered soldiers and horses.

He did not follow Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to do things, but after accumulating a certain amount of strength, he led his troops from Jingzhou and went all the way to Luoyang.

After coming to Luoyang, Zhu Jun clearly knew what Luoyang, which was extremely prosperous in the past, was now what it had become.

It can only be described as dilapidated.

In the vast area of Luoyang, there are not many people.

Most of the people who lived in Luoyang and around Luoyang were moved to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, and the rest were killed when the capital was moved, and some escaped.

Zhu Jun's original idea was to bring troops to Luoyang, occupy Luoyang, and then continue to do the rest of the things, accumulate strength, and crusade against Dong Zhuo.

In any case, Luoyang was the previous capital, and occupying it would have a lot of benefits for seeking to deal with Dong Zhuo.

But he underestimated the extent of Luoyang's destruction.

Most importantly, the vast Luoyang area is not inhabited.

This is a fatal problem.

So after some consideration, Zhu Jun could only lead the soldiers and horses, all the way to the east, and retreated to Zhongmu County.

It was Zhongmu County, where Chen Gong served as the county commander and Li Jin served as the county commander.

Although it has also experienced the destruction of war before, especially when Yuan Shao summoned the world's soldiers and horses to attack Dong Zhuo, the damage was the greatest, but it was able to barely garrison troops.

When he was in Luoyang before, Zhu Jun didn't think about going west from Luoyang to find a suitable place to garrison troops.

However, the soldiers and horses in Michi made him hesitate.

There are more than 10,000 elite soldiers for Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, those soldiers and horses are still part of the elite of the headquarters of the Uncle who killed the pig.

The people who led the troops were Xu Huang and Li Jin.

For Zhu Jun, Xu Huang and Li Jin are both posteriors.

Of course, not only Xu Huang and Li Jin, but also the imperial uncle who killed the pig, is also a complete offspring for Zhu Jun.

It's just that Liu Cheng's name is too big, and his record is too dazzling, so Zhu Jun doesn't dare to have the slightest contempt.

I even feel a lot of pressure.

So after thinking about it, he did not choose to go west, but retreated east to Zhongmu.

In this way, you will be able to widen the distance between you and Michi, and you will be able to get closer to the people of Kanto, so that you can easily get their support.

After coming to Zhongmu, Zhu Jun took the suggestion of his subordinates to join the army, and soon set up a banner to fight against Dong.

And spread the word to the world, calling on the people of the world to send troops to fight against Dong.

At the same time, he also sent people to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Liu Dai, Liu Yao, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao, Kong Rong and many other places to lobby, so that these people should put the overall situation first, jointly send troops, attack Dong Zhuo together, and return the Han family to a bright future.

For his move, Zhu Jun still has some confidence.

After all, although his reputation as Zhu Jun is far inferior to that of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, there are still a lot.

Otherwise, when Dong Zhuo captured Luoyang, he would not have thought of making himself a deputy prime minister, and wanted to use his fame to use it.

Moreover, his move also directly raised the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty.

In his opinion, the Han family still has a lot of influence, anyway, after setting up such a big banner, these people who were sent by him to meet each other did not want to make a move, and they didn't want to bleed some of them.

After all, righteousness is here.

However, these people quickly taught Zhu Jun a lesson, telling him that times have changed.

When Yuan Shao called on the world before, so many people responded, in addition to his identity as the fourth and third dukes, but also because he led the extermination of eunuchs.

It has become the world's most popular.

At that time, the cohesion of the Han Dynasty was still there, and many people were very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's goods and stealing a high position all of a sudden, so they hated the same enemy.

But now, after more than a year, things have changed a lot.

Not to mention the rest, the cohesion of the Han family alone has a cliff-like decline.

More than a year of being without an official government has made many people with soldiers and horses in their hands and authorities undergo great changes in their hearts, and their ambitions are like weeds, growing like crazy.

The people who were interested in the Han family died a wave before and suffered a big loss, but now many of them have other ideas and want to fight in this era.

After the envoys sent by Zhu Jun made their intentions clear, some of them didn't even see the other party's principal, and they were directly hung there.

Some people praised and affirmed Zhu Jun's behavior, but they just didn't say anything about helping.

Some people, after some affirmation, promised Zhu Jun to do such a righteous deed, and he must help the field well.

But most of them are only in words, and very few of them are actually put into action, and those who put them into action are only a small amount of things.

When such news was conveyed, Zhu Jun was immediately full of anger, and he only felt that people's hearts were not ancient, and these people said it well one by one, but they were all ill-intentioned.

I don't lose anything by hacking them to death with knives one by one.

There are also subordinates who, after seeing such a scene, spoke out to dissuade Zhu Jun, saying that they should not let Zhu Jun do this.

The world has become like this, and no one is willing to contribute to the revival of the Han family.

In this case, it is better to choose to live an easier life.

When he said this, he was immediately reprimanded by Zhu Jun.

He said with seriousness: "It is because the Han family has become what it is now that someone needs to stand up and do this."

If everyone chooses not to do it because things are difficult, then wouldn't the Han family really be completely ineffective?

Even if no one responds, and I am the only one to do this, I will oppose Dong Zhuo and restore the Han Dynasty.

In the future, you will not mention this again.

If you feel that you can't do this, you can leave on your own, and I will do it myself! ”

Hearing Zhu Jun say this, he no longer persuaded him to join the army.

He saluted Zhu Jun respectfully, and said with emotion: "If everyone in the world is like Zhu Gong, why can't the Han family be revived?" ”

Zhu Jun held the sword in his hand and said loudly: "Wait slowly, I don't believe that such a big man is a wolf-hearted, disloyal and unrighteous person!"

There will always be people who will support us and crusade against Dong Zhuo.

What is wrong is wrong, and it can never be right.

For a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted person like Dong Zhuo, it is to crusade, and he cannot be weak to him. ”

The people under him were infected by Zhu Jun's momentum, and their hearts were full of pride.

But for someone who will really help in such a situation, there is not much hope.

After all, the situation is really different now.

It was too difficult to attack Dong Zhuo......

Here in Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, after understanding the purpose of the envoy sent by Zhu Jun, immediately met with Tao Qian's envoy in person.

"Go back and tell Zhu Gong, just say that it is a matter of course to crusade against Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty, since Zhu Gong has such ambitions, I Tao Qian will definitely help!"

Tao Qian looked at Zhu Jun's envoy and said in a straight voice.

Looking at Tao Qian's appearance, and listening to Tao Qian's words, Zhu Jun's envoy looked a little stunned for a while.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope for Xuzhou and his party.

After all, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian Tao Gongzu's temper is notoriously weird.

When Yuan Shao called on the world to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo before, Tao Qian was too lazy to move.

just came forward to organize a similar alliance to beg Dong and let out some rumors there, without any actual action, and played his own there.

From beginning to end, not a single soldier was dispatched.

It was fashionable and so, let alone now.

Now, many people do not support their father-in-law, and they scoff at the behavior of their father-in-law.

According to Tao Qian's previous performance, he was really not optimistic about this trip.

If it weren't for the death order given to him by the lord and made him have to come, Tao Qian really didn't want to come here.

Unexpectedly, he heard such words here in Tao Qian.

However, he quickly calmed down again, suspecting that this Tao Qian, like some people, also said that people don't do things.

Tao Qian seemed to see this person's thoughts, looked at him and said, "Are you surprised that I promised to be so neat?" Think I shouldn't do that, right? ”

Hearing this, the envoy nodded subconsciously.

Immediately remembered that it was a little inappropriate to do this, and quickly shook his head and denied it.

Tao Qian was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "The reason why I didn't move before was because Yuan Shao was not a person who could do things.

This person is too selfish, and he seems to be very decisive in doing things, but in fact he is the most indecisive.

I don't want to waste the power in my hands in the hands of such a person.

It's a shame.

will also be loyal to the Han family's strength, quickly depleted.

At this time, Zhu Gong erected a banner of rebellion and crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and I said that I would help in everything.

Zhu Gong is different from Yuan Shao, Zhu Gong really wants to beg Dong thief and restore the Han Dynasty.

And Zhu Gong's ability is also extremely strong, and he is a soldier who knows the soldiers.

I saved my strength in order to wait for the real Dong Yishi to appear.

Now that Zhu Gong has erected the banner of rebellion, can I, Tao Qianyan, express something? ”

Hearing Tao Qian's heart-to-heart words, the envoy sent by Zhu Jun saluted Tao Qian respectfully, and his heart was extremely moved.

"If the people of the world are like Tao Gong and Zhu Gong, why worry that Dong thieves will not be destroyed and the Han family will not be revived?"

Tao Qian shook his head and said: "This time it's not easy to do, Dong Thief is already sitting big, and it's not easy to deal with it."

I have some news, I don't know if Zhu Gong knows.

First, Dong Zhuo is preparing to use troops in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou Han Sui, Ma Teng and others will not sit still, but they are afraid that it will not be long before there will be a conquest there.

The second is that because of the rumors in Chang'an City, the Son of Heaven personally ended up, which led to Liu Cheng's thief's military power being taken away by Dong Zhuo.

I don't know whether this matter is true or not, and it needs to be carefully considered.

These two pieces of news are used as a reference, and if you grasp them well, you should have unexpected gains......"

After some deliberation, Zhu Jun sent an envoy to Xuzhou to leave.

And when he departed, he took with him five thousand stone of grain.

This is Tao Qian's support for Zhu Jun first, and it is also the best way to express his attitude and sincerity......

Xuzhou is still very rich, mainly because of the previous battles, which did not involve Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is relatively stable.

And Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, during these times, was not paddling all the time, but took the opportunity to recuperate and send his subordinates to farm.

There is not a lot of grain, grass, money, and other things in hand.

"Does the lord really want to support the general of the right chariot?"

After Zhu Jun's envoy left, the advisor Chen Gui came to see Tao Qian.

Tao Qian nodded and said: "I must support, Zhu Jun is different from Yuan Shao and others, he is a real worker."

He stood up and planted the banner of rebellion, and he had to support it.

Otherwise, in the future, I am afraid that no one will dare to raise the banner of rebellion against Dong Zhuo.

If you want to revive the Han Dynasty, it is even more difficult. ”

Chen Gui nodded, and then spoke: "Does the lord think that this thing is likely to succeed?" ”

Tao Qian shook his head: "I don't know, I'm not sure."

The main reason is that I don't know if the uncle who killed the pig emperor was really deprived of military power.

If the two really fall out, then there is a great chance this time.

But I'm afraid that the two of them are acting for others to see......"

Chen Gui sighed when he heard this: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, at this time, many things are true and false, and no one will easily say what they really think in their hearts."

We need to be cautious about this.

The lord's idea is agreed with by his subordinates, and at this time he really needs to start a war with Dong Zhuo.

The most important thing is not to defeat Dong Zhuo, but to welcome the Son of Heaven out and let the Son of Heaven get rid of the control of Dong Zhuo's thief.

The role of the Son of Heaven is too great, and if he supports the Son of Heaven, he occupies the righteousness, and he is naturally higher than ordinary people.

I heard that Yuan Shao was planning to make Youzhou Mu Liu Yu the Son of Heaven recently, and it was out of this consideration......

Tao Qian nodded, and then said: "At this time, you can't continue to endure anymore, otherwise later, I'm most afraid that the gap will get bigger and bigger."

I will personally contact Kong Beihai, Ji Beixiang, and Liu Yanzhou and others, and invite them to contribute together to help Zhu Jun succeed.

If it doesn't work out this time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to eradicate Dong Zhuo later. ”

Chen Gui nodded, expressing his agreement with Tao Qian's words.

The two of them said something here again, and then went their separate ways.

After Chen Gui left, Tao Qian sat here and thought for a while, then picked up his pen and began to write a letter.

What is strange is that this first letter was not written to Kong Rong in Beihai, nor to Liu Dai of Yanzhou and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, but to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the commander of Pingyuan County.

As soon as the envelope was written, he asked people to take the letter, went to Pingyuan County, and handed it to his niece and son-in-law Liu Xuande.

After the messenger left, Tao Qian took the pen and muttered: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made."

Look at you like a piece of jade, but your background is too low, you need to carve it well in order to become a talent and serve the public.

This is your chance and I hope you can take advantage of ......"

After muttering to himself for a while, Tao Qian continued to write, bowing his head to write a letter......

When Liu Bei received the letter from Tao Qian, it happened to be the evening of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

At that time, he inspected the barracks and was about to sleep with the white jade beauty Madame Gan.

After learning that it was a letter sent by my uncle, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and immediately put on my coat, took the letter, and opened it to read.

After looking at it for a while, his face became gloomy and his expression became serious.

After looking at it like this for a while, he got up, bowed deeply to Mrs. Gan, and said apologetically: "Madam, I'm afraid that my husband won't be able to sleep with Madame." ”

Mrs. Gan dodged to the side, and said with anxiety and concern when she heard the words: "Husband, what happened?" ”

Liu Bei handed the letter sent by Tao Qian to Mrs. Gan, and said: "Uncle has a letter from there, and Zhu Jun, the former general of the right chariot cavalry, erected a banner of rebellion in Zhongmu and called on people from all over the world to fight Dong."

My uncle decided to vigorously support Zhu Gong, and wrote a letter to him, asking me to also raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo.

This is a major event, the military situation is urgent, and we dare not delay, so we need to make arrangements as soon as possible.

And this matter also involves my brother Sun Zan and Yuan Shao on his side, which is not easy to deal with, and needs to be considered in the long run......"

Mrs. Gan glanced at the letter in her hand a few times, did not look at it carefully, handed it back to Liu Bei, and said: "These are all important things, the eldest husband should focus on state affairs, and the husband's behavior, the concubine can understand and support it."

The concubine doesn't know too much truth, she only knows that the concubine is already a husband, and the husband is outside, so she needs to take care of herself.

From now on, husbands and gentlemen will be the dependents of concubines......"

Listening to Mrs. Gan's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but have hot eye sockets.

He hugged Mrs. Gan in his arms, kissed her lightly on the forehead, reached out and patted Mrs. Gan's back, and said, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?!" ”

With that, he put on his coat and went out of the room with his sword, and Madame Gan sent him outside.

"Madame goes to sleep by herself, don't pay attention to me."

He said aloud.

Then it quickly disappeared into the darkness......

"Bang!"

In the dark, Liu Bei, who had been walking for a while, stood in front of a big tree and slammed his head on the trunk.

The whole person seemed to be extremely painful, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

His hands were even more clenched.

After a long while, he cleaned up his mood and went all the way to Guan Yu......

"Alas......"

After Liu Bei left, Mrs. Gan stood at the door for a while before returning to the house and slamming the door with her backhand.

returned to the edge of the bed, took off the outer clothes on his body, and came to the new bed between her and Liu Bei.

Leaning on the head of the bed and sitting stunned for a while, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It has been eleven nights since I got married, and my husband Liu Xuande has not slept here for seven nights.

He was always busy and often went out on patrol.

Of the remaining four nights, the first night was the night of candles in the cave room, when he was drunk.

On one occasion, tonight, I received a letter from my uncle and left directly.

The remaining two nights, I came back late, talked to myself, and soon fell asleep.

She was a smart woman, and there were a lot of similar things happening, and she had heard about her husband being injured on the battlefield, so she easily thought of something......

"Big brother, what's wrong with your forehead?"

When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei who came over at night, he couldn't help but be full of nervousness, and looked at Liu Bei's forehead and asked.

"At night, the road was slippery when it was dark, and I didn't pay attention to walking and hit a tree."

Liu Bei took the towel handed over by Guan Yu, wiped the blood on his hands, and explained casually.

To avoid Guan Yu from asking more questions on this matter, he continued to speak: "Second brother, we are going to fight." ”

"Is there something wrong with Yuan Shao's old boy?"

Guan Yu pointed the finger at Yuan Shao as soon as he opened his mouth.

On the one hand, their Pingyuan County is actually under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and they are too close to Yuan Shao here.

On the other hand, after Gongsun Zhan was pitted by Yuan Shao, he sent someone to contact Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shao in the south after he started a war with Yuan Shao.

His brother has always been a brother to Gongsun Zhan, and Guan Yu naturally thought about things at this time as soon as possible.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "No, it has nothing to do with Yuan Shao, it is Zhu Jun and Zhu Gong who are begging for the Yellow Turban, erecting a banner of rebellion in Zhongmu and calling on people from all over the world to fight Dong together."

My uncle, Tao Xuzhou, felt that Zhu Gong could succeed and was ready to help vigorously, so he sent a letter and asked me to hurry up and prepare here......"

After some telling, Guan Yu knew what was going on.

When Guan Yu heard that he was going to please Dong, he was immediately excited.

At this stage, it doesn't matter whether you want to please Dong or not, the most important thing is that when you ask for Dong, by the way, you will ask Liu Cheng for that damn guy by the way.

After the excitement, Guan Yu said with some hesitation: "What about Brother Gongsun?" In case when we discuss Dong, he and Yuan Shao get into a fight......"

How to decide, Liu Bei actually has a conclusion in his heart, but he will not say it here.

Instead, he sighed and said, "This thing is difficult to do, and this is what I am worried about."

On the one hand, it is the eldest brother who treats me very well, and on the other hand, it is the uncle and the righteousness of Dong Xingfu to restore the Han family, which is really embarrassing. ”

Saying this, Liu Bei remembered his sadness, and couldn't help tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, but Guan Yu panicked differently......

After a while, people came one after another, including Sun Qian and Jian Yong......

Liu Bei told everyone about his difficulties again.

Everyone was silent, and after a while, Jian Yong spoke: "It's better to be like this, the lord and Yun Chang led the soldiers and horses to Zhongmu and followed Zhu Gong to defeat Dong Zhuo."

Gongyou and I stayed in Pingyuan County and guarded the plains for the lord.

When the time Gongsun Taishou was there, it was really at this time that there was a conflict with Yuan Shao, and Gongyou and I sent troops to help. ”

Liu Bei actually thought this in his heart, and when he heard this, he was silent for a while, sighed and nodded: "I can only do this." ”

Guan Yu frowned and said: "Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers and horses, when the time comes, he will really be able to hold the plain?" ”

In his opinion, when he and his brother were here, they might not have to worry about not being able to hold Pingyuan County after the war, but he and his brother led a lot of soldiers and horses to leave, so it was difficult to say.

Pingyuan County is the foundation of his brother, and it is the only place for his brother.

Once lost, it becomes helpless and even more difficult.

There are no outsiders here, Jian Yong spoke directly: "Maybe you can't keep it, but Tao Xuzhou is the lord's uncle, and the lord followed his advice before he went to help Zhu Gong to discuss Dong, and when the time Pingyuan County is really lost, Tao Xuzhou will definitely not look at the lord who is helpless and has no land to live ......"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help but look at Jian Yong several times......
