But it was said that Sun Jian listened to Li Dao's words of marriage and reconciliation, and couldn't help but be furious: "Dong Zhuo is rebellious, overthrowing the royal family, and now he will not punish his three clans to show the world, I will not turn a blind eye to death, do you still want to marry him!" "Order the sergeant to push Li Dao out and behead him.

Cheng Pu persuaded: "The two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed." ”

Sun Jian's anger did not subside, and he reprimanded sharply: "Spare your life for the time being, go back quickly, and tell Dong Zhuo to surrender as soon as possible." If you make a mistake, you will be crushed to pieces. ”

Li Dao hugged his head and ran away, and Sun Jian immediately ordered his troops to advance and camp ninety miles away from Luoyang.

Let's say that Cao Cao joined forces with all the princes and strongly promoted Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. After the blood covenant, Cao Cao made several rounds of wine and said: "Since the leader of the alliance is established, you must obey the dispatch, all for the sake of Kuang Fu Sheji, don't worry about each other because you are strong and I am weak." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Since I am the leader of the alliance, I must be rewarded for my merits, and I will be punished for my crimes." The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Obey it and do not transgress it. And they all said, "Commandment is heard. Yuan Shao ordered Cao Cao to serve as the acting general of Fenwei; His younger brother Yuan Shu was the governor of grain and grass, and he should deal with the battalions, and there must be no shortage.

Cao Cao suggested: "Dong Zhuotun's soldiers are in the Tiger Pass, cut off the middle road of the princes, and half of the troops can be divided to attack." Yuan Shao dispatched the troops and horses led by the princes of the Eighth Route to the Tiger Pass, and Cao Cao led the headquarters to come and go.

Bao Xin, the prince of the Eighth Road, saw Sun Jian killing all the way, and his prestige was shocked, and he was afraid that Sun Jian would take credit again, so he secretly ordered his brother Bao Zhong to lead a horse infantry army of 3,000 and copy the small road until the challenge was closed.

Lu Bu took three thousand iron horsemen and rushed out of the pass to greet him. I saw that he raised his knife and fell, beheaded Bao Zhong under the horse, captured many soldiers alive, and made people carry Bao Zhong's head into the customs to report to Dong Zhuo.

Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang led troops to come. Wang Kuang's general, Fang Yue, a famous general in Hanoi, stabbed Lu Bu with a spear on his horse, and was stabbed under the horse by Lu Bu with a halberd.

Mu Shun, the general of Zhang Yang's department, went out to meet the battle, but was beaten by Lu Bu, even if he fell off the horse and died.

Beihai Taishou Kong Rong General Wu An Guoqing Iron Hammer flew out, and less than Shihe was cut off by Lu Bu's halberd and abandoned the hammer.

Lu Bu rushed to kill in the west, as if entering a no-man's land. Thanks to the arrival of Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao and Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi to save Wu Anguo, Lu Bu withdrew his troops and returned to the pass.

The princes from all walks of life were defeated and returned to the village to discuss countermeasures, and they all said that Lu Bu was brave and unbeatable. Cao Cao said: "Lu Bu is so heroic, he can gather the princes of the Eighteen Roads to discuss good policies. If Lu Bu is captured, it will be easy to kill Dong Zhuo. ”

While discussing, Lu Bu led the army to challenge again, and the princes of the Eight Routes of Kwantung came out to meet the enemy. Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, personally went out and waved his lance to take Lu Bu. After the battle was defeated and left, Lu Bu rode the red rabbit horse, galloping like the wind, and chased after him.

Seeing Lu Bu's halberd stabbing Gongsun Zhan's heart, Zhang Fei saw it, his eyes were wide, his tiger whiskers were upside down, and he stood up with eight snake spears, and Pegasus shouted: "The three surnamed family slaves are going to be able to do it, and the Yan man Zhang Fei is here!" "Anyway, stop Lu Bu from fighting, and fight for more than 50 years without winning or losing.

When Guan Yu saw it, he brandished the eighty-two catties of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, slapped his horse forward and attacked Lu Bu, and he had not yet won more than thirty times.

Liu Bei straddled the yellow horse, held a double-strand sword, and stepped forward to help the battle. The three of them surrounded Lu Bu and fought together like a lamp. The four horses galloped back and forth, and they were fighting vigorously, when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Sun Jian is here to help." ”

Lu Bu had learned Sun Jian's power in the Battle of Yangren City, and Hua Xiong still died at his hands, so he couldn't help but panic, and shook a halberd at Liu Bei's face, taking advantage of Liu Bei's dodge, swinging the horns of the formation, dragging the halberd upside down, and running away. The three of them chased after them, the soldiers of the Eighth Route screamed and covered up, and Lu Bu was defeated and returned to Guanzhong. Exactly: Yangren City Lu Bu is afraid of Sun Jian, and the Tiger Prison is three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang saw that Lu Bu had retreated to Guan and saved Gongsun Zhan, and they rushed back to see Yuan Shao to ask for credit. The princes of the Eighth Route sent to Liu, Guan, and Zhang Hegong. Cao Cao went to Yuan Shao's camp to report the victory, showing the merits of the three people.

Yuan Shao heard that Lu Bu had injured several generals, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived, if one person is here, why not be afraid of Lu Bu, how can one county commander and two archers show their ability." ”

Yuan Shu sneered and said: "There is really no tiger monkey in the mountains to show their ability." ”

Cao Cao said: "Those who have merit are rewarded, why bother with the level of status." ”

Yuan Shu snorted: "Since you only attach importance to one county order, I should retire." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "You can't delay the crusade against traitors because of one sentence." After saying that, he withdrew from the tent and secretly sent people to bring wine and meat to Gongsun Zhan's camp to comfort Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

Besides, as soon as Dong Zhuo heard that Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, he gathered all the candidates to kill Luoyang, and he was afraid that Yuan Shao's uncle, Yuan Kui, would be the internal response, and the shilling generals Li Dao and Guo Yan led 500 troops to besiege Yuan Kui's mansion, killing all of them regardless of the old and young, and hanging Yuan Kui's head in front of the pass. Seeing that Huaxiong was beheaded, Sun Jian refused to make peace, and Lü Bu was defeated again, Dong Zhuo was afraid, so he led Lü Bu back to Luoyang to discuss moving the capital to Chang'an.

Situ Yang Biao, Taiwei Huang Wan, and Sikong Xunshuang dissuaded with "If the capital is moved, the people will be in turmoil, and the world will be restless".

Dong Zhuo was furious: "I plan for the world, how can I pity the little people?" That is, the three of them were demoted to concubines.

There are also Shangshu Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, admonishing. When Dong Zhuo saw these two people, he was furious: "I first listened to you and others, and I used Yuan Shao." Now Yuan Shao rebelled, and you and others are all one party. "Drink and order the samurai to roll out the decapitation.

Then, he ordered the sergeant to raid Yuan Kui's subordinates, kill his sect, confiscate his family assets, and get a huge amount of money; sent iron cavalry 5,000 times to arrest thousands of wealthy families in Luoyang, and beheaded them outside the city on the charge of "opposing ministers and opposing the party", and took their family assets; Send Lu Bu to lead the soldiers to dig up the tombs of the emperor and his concubines and take their gold treasures. The sergeants took advantage of the situation to dig up the graves of officials and civilians, rape people's wives and daughters, and rob food. Dong Zhuo ordered the sergeants to escort the plundered thousands of wagons of gold, beads, satin and various supplies to Chang'an.

Li Dao and Guo Yan drove millions of Luoyang people to Chang'an. A group of people was followed by a group of sergeants, dragged at intervals, and if there were those who walked slowly, three thousand sergeants behind them supervised and urged, holding white blades in their hands, slashing and killing along the way, and the death of those in the ravines was innumerable, and the sound of crying shook the heavens and the earth.

Dong Zhuo kidnapped the Son of Heaven and the concubine, etc., before leaving, Dong Zhuo ordered people to set fire to the palace of the temple, burn the houses of residents, and the north and south palaces, the flames were connected; The court of Changle was reduced to scorched earth. Before leaving, he also asked the sergeant to set fire to the four gates. For a time, the flames soared into the sky, black smoke billowed out, and there was no trace of chickens and dogs within a radius of two or three hundred miles.

Cao Cao personally experienced and witnessed the consequences of the murder of his cousin He Jin and the eunuch Zhang Rang, as well as the tragic situation of Dong Zhuo, Luoyang being burned to ruins, and the tragic situation of the people living in ruins and mourning all over the wilderness.

However, Han XXII was not sincere.

Mu monkey and crown belt, know small and strong.

He hesitated and did not dare to decide, because he hunted the king.

Bai Hong is the sun, and he has also suffered first.

The thief holds the authority of the country, kills the lord and destroys Yujing.

Overthrew the emperor's foundation, and the temple was burned.

Sowing more and more westward migration, crying and walking.

The city of Zempolo, the micro-child is sad.

It probably means that the 22nd emperor of the Han family, Emperor Han Ling, is really inappropriate in employing people. He Jin is just like a monkey in a hat and a coat, he has no wisdom but wants to plot such a big thing as killing the eunuch. As a result, because of his indecisiveness, he didn't dare to start, so the emperor was kidnapped by Zhang Rang and others. The celestial phenomenon appeared in the white rainbow, and in the end, He Jin was killed by Zhang Rang and others. Then the thief Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to steal the power of the country, and after killing Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty, he also destroyed Luoyang. He completely overthrew the power of the Han Dynasty and burned down the ancestral temple of the Liu family. Then he was coerced by Emperor Liu Xiehe of the Han Dynasty and the officials and people to move the capital to Chang'an, all the way to the bones, crying everywhere. Looking at the city of Luoyang, I felt extremely sad like a micron.

This poem expresses the poet's resentment against his relatives He Jin and the eunuch Zhang Rang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, his resentment against Dong Zhuo's cruelty and cruelty, his grief for the destruction of Luoyang, and his sympathy for the misery of the people.

Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhuo had burned Kyoto and held the Son of Heaven hostage to the west, he was extremely angry, and came to Yuan Shao's tent and said: "Now that Dong is going west, he can take advantage of the victory to pursue, why did he not move in the first place?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "The army and horses of all roads are tired and sleepy, and it is useless to march forward. ”

Cao Cao asked the princes again: "Dong thieves burned the palace and kidnapped the Son of Heaven, and the sea was shaken, and I didn't know where to go." It was when the providence of heaven brought him to ruin, and a battle could pacify the world, why did the princes hesitate? ”

And all the princes said that they should not be moved. Cao Cao sighed and said: "The erection is not enough", so he led the people of the headquarters to chase Dong Zhuo in the starry night.

It is said that Sun Jian garrisoned the south of Luoyang City, and saw Luoyang on fire from afar, black smoke billowing out, that is, he waved his army into Luoyang, ordered the sergeant to extinguish the embers, sweep away the rubble of the palace, cover the excavated mausoleum, temporarily build three straw huts on the ruins of the Taimiao, set up the holy lord's shrine, and kneel down to worship and sacrifice with the ritual of the Taijiao.

Sun Jian returned to the village, looking at the tragic situation of the destroyed Kyoto, infinitely melancholy, and burst into tears. Suddenly, a group of sergeants came to report, saying that it was in the nearby Zhenguan Well, exuding an abnormal smell, and the troops were surprised, I am afraid that it is poisonous, and no one dares to draw water. Sun Jian ordered people to go down to the well to salvage it, but it was a female corpse in the costume of a palace maid who was decomposing day by day, with a bag under her head, and a small red box locked with a gold lock. Sun Jian asked people to open the small box, but there was a jade seal inside, four inches in circumference, missing a corner next to it, inlaid with gold, engraved with eight seal characters of "Ordered by the Heaven and Longevity Yongchang".

Cheng Pu recognized it as the jade seal of the country: "I heard that Zhang Rang and others made a mess and kidnapped the Son of Heaven to go to the north, the palace was chaotic, and the jade seal was lost." Today, God will give the jade seal to the lord, and he will reach the ninety-five. You can't stay here for a long time, you should go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible, don't try to make a big deal. ”

The next day, Sun Jiantuo resigned to Yuan Shao due to illness. Unexpectedly, one of the sergeants in Sun Jian's army was a fellow villager of Yuan Shao, and he went to Yuan Shao's place overnight to inform Sun Jian of hiding the jade seal, wanting to use this as a way to gain his own life. Yuan Shao saw Sun Jian coming to resign, so he asked where the jade seal was?

Sun Jian said that he didn't know, and the two had an argument. Yuan Shao summoned the sergeant to come out to confront him, Sun Jian drew his sword and wanted to stab the sergeant, Yan Liang and Wen Chou behind Yuan Shao pulled out their swords and unsheathed, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also held knives behind Sun Jian. The candidates were afraid that "two tigers will be injured when they fight", and they all stepped forward to advise.

Sun Jian took the opportunity to lead Cheng Pu and the three of them to get on the horse, left Luoyang, and returned to Luyang to station. Yuan Shao was furious, so he wrote a letter to Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, asking him to intercept and kill Sun Jian on the way and recapture the jade seal.

In addition, Cao Cao led 5,000 men and horses in his headquarters to chase Dong Zhuo to Chenggao, and Chen Liutai sent Zhang Miao to send his general Wei Zi to lead 5,000 soldiers to follow and help, and drove the troops forward to Xingyang Bianshui, where they were intercepted by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.

Xu Rong once defeated Sun Jian and killed Sun Jian's general Zu Mao, who was extremely brave. Cao Cao and Xu Rong's armies fought, and Cao's army was defeated, and they fled on horseback. In the middle of the line, sitting on the horse in the arrow lying on the ground, Cao Cao was wounded by a stray arrow, several sergeants surrounded and were about to assassinate, Cao Cao galloped from his younger brother Cao Hong, cut down the soldiers, and dismounted to rescue Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said: "The enemy army is coming, virtuous brother go quickly, leave me alone." ”

Cao Hong said: "There can be no Cao Hong in the world, and there can be no king." As he spoke, he helped Cao Cao to sit on his horse, took off his armor, dragged his knife bareback, and walked with the horse.

The night was getting deep, the big river in front was blocking the road, and the chasing soldiers were approaching, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed: "My life is over!" ”

Cao Hong hurriedly helped Cao Cao to dismount and crossed the river with Cao Cao on his back. As soon as they arrived on the opposite bank, the pursuers had arrived, and they released arrows across the water. Cao Hong picked up Cao Cao on his back and fled on foot. Cao Cao covered the wound with his hand and said with emotion: "If I can regenerate, I will be the power of a virtuous brother." ”

At dawn, another Biao army and horse chased and killed, but it was Xu Rong who led the army to chase and kill. In a panic, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led the army to rescue and attacked Xu Rong. Later, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin each led troops to find them, and they worked together to kill Xu Rong. The generals saw Cao Cao, and they were full of joy and sorrow. Cao Cao fought in Bianshui, suffered very heavy damage, and hurriedly gathered more than 500 generals and remnants of the army to withdraw and return to Suozao (now Yanjin North, Xinxiang, Henan).

Yuan Shao and the princes and other troops stationed in the sour jujube, afraid of Dong Zhuo's elite Liangzhou army, wait-and-see, now seeing Cao Cao Bianshui defeated and returned, Yuan Shao put Cao Cao into the village, set up a banquet, and the princes together for Cao Cao to suppress the frustration.

Cao Cao blamed the generals for not listening to his opinions and missing the opportunity, and once again suggested that the armies should have their own strongholds, and then divide their troops to the west into Wuguan (now southeast of Danfeng, Shaanxi), and wait for the opportunity to besiege Dong Zhuo, and the major event can be decided.

The generals of the Kanto region, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all silent. Cao Cao saw that the generals refused to listen, and couldn't help but lament: "Today, we are raising troops because of the crusade against the traitors and Kuang Fu Sheji, which is a righteous act, and the monarchs are afraid of the enemy as tigers, and they hesitate to enter the army, disappointing the world, and I am ashamed of you!" "The princes were at a loss.

Liu Dai, the Taishou of Yanzhou, has always been at odds with the Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun, and on the grounds of borrowing grain from Qiaomao and not giving it, he broke into the Qiaomao military camp to kill Qiaomao, and let Wang Qiu lead the Taishou of Dongjun.

Gongsun Zhan said to Liu, Guan, and Zhang: "Yuan Shao is incompetent, and all armies are centrifuged, and there will be changes in the long run." It is useless for us to stay here, so it is better to return for the time being. Then he pulled out the village and went north. When he arrived in the plains, Gongsun Zan ordered Liu Bei to be the prime minister of the plains and return to Youbeiping to cultivate the army.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, plotted to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor and consulted with Cao Cao. Cao Cao refused: "Dong Zhuo is brutal and hated by all over the world." We gathered, raised troops to fight the thieves, and the whole world responded because of the action of righteousness. Emperor Jinxian was young and weak, and was held hostage by traitorous ministers, and there was no suspicion of re-establishment like Changyi. Once the lord is changed, how can the world be stable? ”

Yuan Shao once got a jade seal and asked Cao Cao to see it, and Cao Cao smiled very disgustedly and said, "I will not listen to your scheme." ”

Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao and others had different intentions, and it was difficult to achieve anything, and he had few soldiers and it was difficult to speak alone, so he led his troops to Yangzhou to recruit troops in order to move later. Yuan Shao saw that all the people were scattered, so he led his troops to pull out the village, returned to Guandong, and conspired with Han Fu to establish Liu Yu as the emperor, but Liu Yu never dared to be it.

In this way, a vigorous crusade against Dong Zhuo, with the suspicion and struggle of the princes of all roads and their own ghosts, the song ended and dispersed, and what followed was to expand their respective forces, fighting with each other, and constantly fighting, bringing endless disasters to the people.

Later, Cao Cao was moved by this unforgettable experience and wrote the famous poem "Artemisia Travel":

There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers.

In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang.

The forces of the army were uneven, and they hesitated and walked wildly.

Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs fight each other.

The title of Huainan brother is engraved in the north.

The armor is full of lice, and all surnames die.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines.

It probably means that the righteous men of the Kanto region have raised an army against those who are murderous. At first, he made an alliance with generals from all walks of life to crusade against Dong Zhuo in Chang'an. After the various armies that fought against Dong Zhuo converged, because each had its own plans, they were not in unison, and they watched each other, and no one refused to take the lead. The word snobbery caused a rivalry among the princes of all walks of life, and then the armies of all walks of life fought against each other. Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Shu called the emperor in Huainan, and Yuan Shao set up a puppet emperor to engrave the emperor's seal in the north. Due to the continuous war, the soldiers could not take off their battle clothes for a long time, and the armor was full of lice, and many people also died in large numbers due to years of war. The bones were exposed in the field and no one was buried, there were no people for thousands of miles, and no roosters could be heard. Only one of the hundred ordinary people is still alive, and it is extremely sad to think of this.

This poem can be said to be the sister of "Pickled Dew Xing". "Xulu Xing" mainly writes about the overthrow of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, while "Artemisia Li Xing" mainly writes about the scuffle between warlords for power and profit, which is a true portrayal of the turmoil in the late Han Dynasty. The poet lamented that the crusade against the fierce allies was "unaligned", resulting in the inability to succeed; expressed resentment against the princes who had their own mentality of "fighting each other", causing constant wars; He expressed his sorrow over the tragic scenes of "lice in armor" and "one in a hundred people" brought to the soldiers and the people by the warlords' melee, revealing the feelings of compassion and desolation when they were injured. Exactly: the warlords are fighting and the people are suffering, and the poet is lyrical. If you want to know how the warlords are fighting each other, let's see the next breakdown.
