Chapter 118, Vertical and Horizontal

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189).

And the state, Jinyang.

Unconsciously, another three years have passed, during this period, there were rebellions in various places, first the Liangzhou Rebellion led by Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and others, and Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and Wuhuan launched a rebellion in Youzhou.

In addition, there is also Jizhou Shepherd Wang Fen who tried to abolish the emperor and wanted to support the Marquis of Hefei, but he committed suicide in defeat.

Although these rebellions were finally put down one by one, they buried many disasters, not only undermining the prestige of the imperial court and imperial power, but also forcing Emperor Ling to appoint many state ministers.

As a result, the situation in which the lord is weak and the minister is strong has become more and more intense, and the chaos has become clearer and clearer.

The Northland is windy and snowy.

At the time of the meeting, Xun Yu came to Guo's mansion again to play chess.

"Zuo Feng has news that the Son of Heaven's body is getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid it won't last this year." Guo Jia told the news from Luoyang while falling.

Zuo Feng's shadow finally played his role, even if Liu Bei and Guo Jia both knew the time of Emperor Ling's death, but for the situation in Luoyang City, they didn't know as much as the people around the Son of Heaven in detail.

Xun Yu groaned: "Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family, if the lord wants to enter the main pass, there will be a battle with this person." ”

The curtain of a new era is about to open, and many things can already be said freely.

Presumably many people can see that there will be chaos after the death of the Son of Heaven, and the young Liu Wei and Liu Xie can't shake the changing world.

Their father can only barely support himself by relying on being the emperor for many years, not to mention them who have no power in their hands?

Guo Jia rubbed his temples and sighed: "Xiliang Iron Rider, who is known for his toughness!" It's hard to deal with. ”

In the past, whether the Yellow Turban Army or the Hu people, their combat power was far inferior to that of the Han Army.

However, the Xiliang Army is different, as the iron cavalry of the border army that also fights with the Hu people all the year round, their combat power is no worse than that of the Bingzhou Army.

Xun Yu said with a smile: "However, as long as the Xiliang army is defeated, the lord will be invincible from now on, isn't this the reason why Fengxiao chose to merge states as the base?" ”

Guo Jia smiled helplessly, who made him worry about the feng shui treasure of Guanzhong?

"There are now a total of 80,000 troops in the state, and if the lord sends troops, he can bring 60,000. Dong Zhuo also has tens of thousands of Xiliang troops under his command, and he is friendly with various Qiang tribes, and he can also get 20,000 or 30,000 horsemen. ”

Guo Jia began to analyze the gap between the strength of the enemy and us, and finally came to a conclusion.

"The strength is evenly matched, a bloody battle is inevitable, and I am afraid that the city of Luoyang will be bloody."

"Fengxiao seems to have forgotten that there is still an elite in Luoyang City."

"Feather Forest Army."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In this kind of evenly matched duel, any unexpected factor may affect the battle situation, let alone a powerful combat force.

It can be said that whoever can get the Yulin Army between Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo will be able to win the victory in this battle.

At this time, Liu Bei came, still holding Xiao Guo Yi in his arms.

The little guy was wearing a tiger skin, holding Guo Jia's feather fan in his hand and dangling it in a good manner, as if he was imitating his father's lupine scarf and pointing out the side of the country.

Liu Bei quipped: "Does Yi'er look like my little military master?" ”

Guo Jia was a little ashamed, the little guy completely inherited his secondary second disease, and often called himself a little military teacher in front of people.

So he said with a straight face: "Don't come down quickly." ”

However, he is too tolerant of Guo Yi on weekdays, and the little guy is not only not afraid of him, but also holds a feather fan with a milky voice and retorts: "Do you want to guide me to act? ”

Guo Jia's face darkened instantly.

Liu Bei and Xun Yu were amused to laugh.

Xun Yu jokingly said: "It seems that ten years later, there will be another prodigal son in the world." ”

Liu Bei nodded and smiled: "It's just right to be a military advisor to Adou." ”

Xu did not have the upheaval of his previous life, Liu Chan was born very early, only a few months younger than Guo Yi.

Guo Jia was a little speechless, Liu Bei seemed to like this name very much, whether it was a big name or a small name, it was the same as in his previous life.

He really wanted to ask, aren't you afraid that he will not be happy?

"Zuo Feng has sent a letter......

Liu Bei suddenly mentioned business, and Xiao Guo Yi quickly settled down, although he was playful, he would listen quietly when adults were talking about business, which was why Liu Bei brought him here.

Guo Jia said seriously: "Have you ever thought that if you take this step, you can't turn back." ”

Once it is decided to send troops to Beijing, it is necessary to be prepared to defeat Dong Zhuo and take control of the government.

"Nature." Liu Bei responded without hesitation, in fact, he was already mentally prepared when he chose to merge the state.

Since he rose so quickly, it was impossible to sit back and watch others hold the Son of Heaven hostage, not to mention that the state and the capital were close at hand, if he did not send troops, he would also be accused of disloyalty.

Benevolence and righteousness should be the implementation of benevolent government, not the benevolence of a woman, which Liu Bei had already figured out at the beginning of his rebirth.

Xun Yu added: "The lord is a relative of the Han family, and it is a legitimate move to support the Han family. ”

This is the biggest difference between Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, his surname is Liu, and he also enjoys a certain inheritance, of course, this is under the premise that the descendants are unable to support it.

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Looking at the situation in Luoyang, the key to victory or defeat lies in the Yulin Army, and there is an extremely important figure among them...... Boom. ”

Liu Bei was puzzled: "Why not He Jin?" ”

The Son of Heaven is a relative, and the eunuchs check and balance the family, this is already an open secret, and anyone with a little insight knows it. It stands to reason that the general He Jin is the commander of the Yulin Army.

"Although He Jin is a general, he has actually become a puppet of the Yuan family." Xun Yu sighed with emotion, this should be the worst move of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, He Jin himself is not angry.

The dignified general didn't want to consolidate his power, but instead wantonly reused Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, the children of the family, and simply set himself up.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that he was killed by the eunuch when he attacked alone at the critical moment of the struggle between the two sides.

It is never wrong to say that he is a mediocre talent.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly, and the dislike for He Jin between the two words was already fully revealed.

However, he also understood the analysis of the two, and the future Jingshi dispute has been divided into two forces.

Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and He Jin are one.

If the Bingzhou army led by Liu Bei does not want to end up alone and difficult to support alone, then it must try to seek foreign aid, that is, the eunuch group headed by Jian Shuo.

This may be the combination of vertical and horizontal in the Warring States Period.

Although Jian Shuo's official position is not as good as Zhao Zhong and others, he is the most trusted eunuch of the Son of Heaven at the moment, if the Son of Heaven does not want his son to be vacated after ascending to the throne, then he will inevitably reuse Jian Shuo before he dies.

Of course, there is another reason why he can be reused, he has the ability to lead troops, and the more turbulent the critical moment, the more important the position of the army.

"My lord, I am willing to go to Luoyang in person to plan the matter of the Yulin Army."
