This article on the thief has caused a lot of waves in Chenliu County, and many people are discussing it, so Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who came in a hurry, also knew about it.

But those who can start a discussion are not stupid.

Before the announcement of Yuan Shu's [Essay on Thieves], the Luoyang Imperial Court had already issued an edict to announce the news of the rebellion between the Yuan and He clans in the world in the name of the new Emperor Liu Xie, and asked the local officials to arrest and arrest Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu as soon as they discovered them.

However, the situation at that time was that the world had many doubts about the coup d'état in Luoyang, and the local governor who received the notice from the imperial court was very shocked and could not believe the fact that Yuan and He had rebelled, so they sent people to Luoyang to inquire about the news.

In the end, it was the general and the Situ of the dynasty who joined forces to rebel, this matter was too shocking.

Counties that are relatively close to Luoyang basically need about a month to find out the news, and places far away from Luoyang need two or three months or even four or five months to find out the news and make a response.

Therefore, after the announcement of the Yuyang Imperial Court was issued, rumors were flying everywhere, conspiracy theories were overwhelming, and the public opinion field of the Han Empire was in chaos, and there was everything to say.

Some people say that Liu Xie is a puppet emperor.

Some people say that there is no problem with Liu Xie's status.

Some people say that Liu Hong was manipulated before he died.

Some people say that Yuan was not greedy enough and wanted to usurp the throne.

There are even people who say that Liu Bei intends to usurp the throne.

This situation Liu Bei expected.

He knew that after the disaster of the party and the Hedong crisis, the influence of the Luoyang court on local public opinion was very worried, and he didn't expect these local governors to do anything good before the Luoyang court showed their muscles, so the repeated issuance of world notices was just a gesture.

If they could take the initiative to take off the heads of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and send them to Luoyang before Liu Bei made a move, then Liu Bei would really have to wonder if this was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because the court proclamation failed to pose an actual threat to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had the opportunity to fight back, and came up with this document to fight back against Liu Bei and the Luoyang court.

Regardless of other places, the situation is different when it comes to Chenliu County, which is very close to Luoyang.

The people of Chen Liujun had also heard the legitimate proclamation of the Ruoyang Imperial Court before, learned about the death of the first emperor and the accession of the new emperor, and also learned that the Ruoyang Imperial Court announced that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were rebels and thieves, and they already had some ideas in advance.

Now that Yuan Shu's completely different statement came, of course they would be suspicious, but they would think more.

The prelude to this incident had already set off a big wave in the world at that time, so Yuan Shu said that Yuan Kui and He Jin were loyal ministers in the text, and everyone felt that this was somewhat too exaggerated.

He Jin and Yuan Kui recruited troops and horses to fight with Liu Hong in Luoyang, people in other places don't know, can they still not know about Chen Liujun?

He Jin even sent people to Chenliu County to recruit troops.

Before and after, how many times Chen Liujun tossed He Jin, the locals remember it clearly, the Chen Liujun soldiers who came back from Luoyang scolded He Jin, so in Chen Liujun, few locals felt that He Jin was a positive character.

Now Yuan Shu is going to whitewash Yuan Kui and He Jin, and say that Liu Xuande, who is famous all over the world, is a conspiracy villain, and the people of Chen Liujun will not recognize it no matter what.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong inquired in many places locally, and together with some news that circulated in Xuzhou at that time, they also came to some conclusions, and then had some discussions.

"When today's emperor is on the throne, it should be no problem, Zibu, what do you think?"

Zhang Hong looked at Zhang Zhao.

"If there is a problem, the officials of the Luoyang Dynasty will not easily approve it, and this matter is led by the Empress Dowager, and there is also the edict of the first emperor to corroborate, there should be no problem."

Zhang Zhao said in a low voice: "And it was rumored in the world that the Son of Heaven was going to abolish the elder and the young, so he confronted He Jin and Yuan Kui and fought in Luoyang, and it is true to think about it, so it is not impossible to ascend the throne today, but it is a matter of course." ”

Zhang Hong nodded slowly, and asked again: "What about Yuan's text?" ”

"The Yuan clan failed in rebellion, suffered heavy losses in Luoyang, the heads of the family died, and the imperial court wanted to exterminate their three clans, if the Yuan clan gave up resistance, it would be strange."

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "It seems that when the army was fought in Luoyang, Yuan Shu escaped and did not die, so now he has returned to the Runan clan, in order to survive, he must raise troops, and the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, although those in Luoyang have been eradicated, but there are many in the world."

Yuan Shu raised his arms and shouted, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people in response, one after another, I estimate that by then, there will definitely be a war to happen, the throne of today, and Liu Xuande's position as a general will not be recognized so simply, this battle is inevitable. ”

"Then are we going to Luoyang?"

Zhang Hong squinted his eyes and said: "If you go to Luoyang now, I'm afraid there will be risks, Zibu, we set out to Luoyang to protect the family, but if we can't even protect ourselves, how can we keep the family?" ”

Zhang Zhao looked at Zhang Hong.

"Zigang, do you regret it?"

"I've come this far, how can I regret it?"

Zhang Hong smiled bitterly: "It's just that I didn't expect Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao to be alive and escape, there are not many protégés of the Yuan family in the world who hold positions, as soon as the Yuan family rebels, their lives will also be in danger, in order to survive, I am afraid that they will follow these two people to raise troops, so as to avoid another war." ”

"That's what I think."

Zhang Zhao also showed a wry smile: "We are also forced to be helpless, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, there is only one way to live, and there are still some dangers, but Liu Xuande has always been good at using soldiers, and has the reputation of the first general of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and the children of Anointed Liang, in the military, it should not be Liu Xuande's opponent, what do you say?" ”

"That's it."

Zhang Hong smiled bitterly: "Although I don't know how many people in the world still have bad intentions, but the matter has come to this point, we can only hope that Liu Xuande will win a complete victory." ”

So the two decided to advance towards Luoyang desperately, and did their best to help Liu Bei win the final victory and become a winner, so that there would be no problem.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's embarrassment, Liu Ye, a native of Huainan Chengde, also felt it.

As a member of the Han family, his living conditions have been relatively rich since he was a child, and his learning resources are relatively good, so his knowledge is very good, and now he is also well-known in the local area.

However, he felt that this was not enough for him to get the hussar general Liu Bei's summons.

However, this incident made his father Liu Pu and brother Liu Jian very happy, thinking that Liu Ye's fame was already able to make people like Liu Bei know that it was a major victory for the family.

As for whether to go to Luoyang, the three fathers and sons discussed it, and the father and brother agreed, thinking that this was a great opportunity for their clan to return to the center of Luoyang, and felt that this was a major benefit to Liu Bei for them.

"Hussar General Liu Xuande is also a member of the Han family, and now he is calling for a family, it must be because you are also a member of the Han family, why don't you go to Luoyang? Go to Luoyang to make contributions and glorify the lintel, this is something that can make the ancestors feel gratified, why not do it? ”

Liu Pu thinks so, he thinks that Liu Ye is twenty years old, an adult, and he should go out to do something.

Anyway, he has two sons, the eldest son is at home to keep the family business, and the younger son goes out to wander, which is also a matter of course.

However, Liu Jian was not only happy, but also worried about Liu Ye's safety.

"Luoyang is not stable at this time, I heard that Yuan Kui, He Jin and the Son of Heaven are not on good terms, and the soldiers of Luoyang are gathered, it seems that something big is about to happen, will it be a little dangerous to let Ye go to Luoyang at this moment?"

Liu Pu shook his head.

"As long as the Son of Heaven is still there, Luoyang can't be in chaos, at this moment, it is the time when Liu Huqi is thirsty for talent, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, who knows when the next opportunity will be?

Although we are relatives of the Han family, but several generations of ancestors have not had a high status, and now the ancestors are blessed, and they are only a medium-sized family in the local area, and it is not difficult to be a local official, but it is even more difficult to go further. ”

What Liu Pu said is also true.

Liu Jian and Liu Ye both know that with their family backgrounds, it is not difficult to be prominent in the local area, but if they want to go further and get on a bigger stage, they are a little lacking, and the help of the family is not enough.

There are not 1,000 but 800 Han clan families like their family in the world, so why can good things fall on their heads?

Now there is a great opportunity in front of me, and if you don't grasp it vigorously, you will regret it.

In the end, Liu Ye was young and vigorous, thinking about it, or decided to follow his father Liu Pu's wishes, bid farewell to his family, and set off for Luoyang to have a future of his own.

At the beginning of May, in response to the Tianxia proclamation issued by the Luoyang Imperial Court, Yuan Shu launched a targeted rebellion banner in Runan, and issued a rebellion document to all prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, in an attempt to set off a wave of rebellion.

At that time, Liu Ye had just arrived in Chen Guo and rested for a while, but he learned the news.

To be precise, Liu Ye learned two pieces of news together, including the Luoyang Incident and Yuan Shu's rebellion, these two messages impacted Liu Ye's brain at the same time, causing him to fall into a certain degree of entanglement.

But this matter is indeed a big deal, from two perspectives, no one is clean, and anyone can say that the other party is rebellious, but the problem is that one is already a person on the emperor's side and holds the name of righteousness, and the other is a defeated dog who escaped from Luoyang.

Who represents the truth?

After thinking about it, Liu Ye felt that it was not important, what was important was - who represented the victory?

Thinking about Liu Bei's previous victories and the exploits he had made, Liu Ye instinctively thought that Liu Bei would win the final victory in this round of disputes, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two sons of the anointed sorghum, could not affect the overall situation.

So Liu Ye decided to get up from Chen Guo and set off for Luoyang.
