In 190 AD, on the fifth day of the first month of the first year of the first year of the Han Dynasty, the county of Kwantung Prefecture still raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo.

Just when He Bai was carrying out the Beihai rejuvenation project, Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo in October, fled to Chenliu in November, and raised volunteers on the territory of Chen Liutai's defense of Zhang Miao, and connected with the Taishou who were familiar with each other in various places led by Yuan Shao, and finally raised the banner of crusade against Dong Zhuo on the fifth day of the first month.

Because Dong Zhuo was very smooth in this life, he was almost suppressed by anyone, and he successfully won the power of the court, so his arrogance was exposed without any concealment. Staying overnight in the dragon bed, rape, adulterous palace maids, brutal killing of the wrong officials, communiqué personal vendettas, plundering the people for military expenses, monopolizing the court, rampant and domineering and other incidents were all made in September, which immediately disappointed Cao Cao, so he assassinated Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately failed.

When the king of Donglai passed through the North Sea, he told He Bai all these things. The Empress Dowager of Donglai, the He family, still had some resentment against Yuan Kui, how could she be suppressed by Dong Zhuo with such a weak blow. Lu Zhi was even more worried about the future of the Han family, and Dong Zhuo's indiscriminate tyranny in Beijing was definitely worse for the Han family, whose authority had been greatly reduced. Therefore, even if he appreciates He Bai, who recommended Dong Zhuo as Xiangguo, he is also full of complaints.

But after all, it was He Bai who appeased the tyrannical Dong Zhuo from the chaotic government at that time, and rescued the former emperor King Donglai, which is also more meritorious than demeritorious. I just hope that He Bai can try to get rid of Dong Zhuo again, so that he can return the world to a bright future.

In December, Cao Cao also sent a long letter to talk about the incident in Luoyang, listing Dong Zhuo's tyrannical behavior in Beijing one by one. He also said that although Dong Zhuo had great ambitions, he had no great talent, let alone the ability to stabilize the world, and he really had no way to assist him, so he carried out the assassination, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. Cao Cao then prepared to issue an edict, calling on the Taishou and Thorn Shi of all states and counties in the world to gather volunteers, correct the world, and crusade against the riotous Dong Zhuo together. I hope He Bai can respond to this call.

He Bai didn't know whether the world he traveled through was an era in history, or the same era as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because the two different eras had different lengths of time to send troops, so it was difficult to make a decision for a while. Therefore, although I agreed to respond to the call, I have not been able to put it into action.

It wasn't until the fifth day of the first month when Yuan Shao counted the princes of the town at the Sour Jujube Conference, Gongsun Zhan and Tao Qian sent envoys to invite him to the Huimeng, and He Bai faintly felt that what he was wearing was only similar to the era of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because in history, neither of these two families participated in the Huimeng. The rejuvenation project was ending at this time, and He Bai immediately convened all the major ministers under his command to discuss the matter of sending troops to join the alliance.

After Zheng Xuan saw the invitation letters from Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, and Tao Qian, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Seeing that my Beihai is thriving, I don't expect the world to be in chaos." Even though Dong Zhuo is tyrannical, he is still the rightful minister of the court. Yuan Benchu committed the following crimes, which was to ignore the majesty of the court. Even if the tyrannical Dong Zhuo is driven away and killed today, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no others in the future who will also raise troops in the local area and also crusade against the ruling Yuan clan. ”

As soon as Zheng Xuan's words fell, the Western Governor Shiyi laughed and bowed his hand: "Xiangjun, Zheng Jun, since the second emperor Huan Ling, the majesty of the court has gradually been lost. In the first year of Zhongping, there were even more yellow turban thieves in the whole country, although the thieves were suppressed, but the number of anti-thieves related to the yellow turbans in various places was not very large. Everyone in the world knows that the Han family is dying, but they don't know when. ”

"Now that Yuan Benchu first provoked the local county guards to fight against the central government, it was a sign before the great chaos in the world. In my opinion, after the discussion of Dong, it must be the time for the local government to fight against the court. Today, there are wise and generous ministers, benevolent and righteous and loving the people; It is also outstanding and has the style of a king, and now it is more popular with the hearts of the people of Beihai, and it is the time for the whole country to create a great cause. The existing original Qingzhou Thorn Shi was dismissed because of the Beihai King Affair, taking advantage of the opportunity that the new Thorn Shi has not yet arrived, it is the time to seize Qingzhou, divide one side to do the king's hegemony, and claim the respect in the south......"

"Boldness is Ziyu, and he wants to fall into the realm of disloyalty and injustice." Peng Xuan reprimanded angrily: "Xiangjun has only been in office for three years, and he has achieved the position of the Beihai Prime Minister of the Middle 2000 Stones, which shows that the Han family has the grace of knowing Xiangjun." As the minister of state placed by the court, Xiangjun should have the power and responsibility to calm the people and fight the thieves and maintain the Han family. You are Ziyu who did not persuade Xiangjun to keep his duty, but persuaded Xiangjun to follow the moth thief and cause chaos, what is his intention? ”

Shi Yi said disdainfully: "Runan Yuan, the fourth and third dukes, received the grace of the Han family, even he used the banner of supporting justice and begging thieves to reassure the people, and did practical things to seize power, not to mention Xiangjun. Besides, you teach the prime minister to keep his duty, but how do you know that others can't do things to seize the world? In this world of great controversy, one step behind, one step behind. Later, when the world falls into the hands of others, what do you do when you ask Xiang Junan to guard the lonely land of Beihai? Waiting to surrender to others? ”

"Even if it is another way to put it, with the benevolence and righteousness of Xiangjun, there should be a greater place where you can display your talents. If there is chaos today, when Xiangjun rises up and raises volunteers, he protects millions of people in Qingzhou. ”

Peng Xuan was about to angrily reprimand Shi Yi again, but He Bai had to knock on the case and shouted: "Looking for everyone to come today, it is because my wife's brother, Cao Mengde and Tao Gongzu invited me to go to the Sour Jujube Alliance to discuss Dong Zhiyi. But thou hast spoken of where. It's Ziyu, don't talk nonsense, the new Qingzhou Thorn History wants to come and is on the way to office. And I, He Tianming, am only twenty-five years old, and I have just served as the minister of Beihai for three months, but I am shallow in my studies, and my virtue is even more shallow, how can I supervise the earth. In the future, you will also talk nonsense. ”

"Mr. Kang Cheng said before that Yuan Shaoxing's crusade against Dong Zhuo and the use of local forces against the central government is a major event that strikes at the majesty of the court and disrupts the national order. I wonder if you have any other claims? ”

He Bai's question made everyone fall silent. Dong Zhuo indiscriminately committed tyranny in the court, bullied the young master, and was self-authorized, which can be described as harming the country and the people. If you sit idly by, you may one day be plagued by the North Sea. Besides, Dong Zhuo was personally pushed to the position of Xiangguo by He Bai, and He Bai had the responsibility to pull him down no matter what.

In response to Yuan Shao's alliance, there will be no attack on the already small majesty of the Han family. If you don't respond to the matter of asking for Dong, will the heavens send down thunder to kill Dong Zhuo? You need to know that according to He Bai, God is ruthless and will not pay attention to the affairs of the world. The affairs of the world still need to be handled by themselves.

In the end, Zheng Xuan still bowed first: "The light of the two phases is the lighter, it seems that Xiangjun is still going to send troops to sour dates and make an alliance with Yuan Benchu to discuss Dong." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, and the majesty of the court could be slowly restored in the future. However, if the ruling ministers of the court have caused trouble to the government and endangered the world, they need to be eliminated immediately. Otherwise, sooner or later, the local government will part ways with the court because of dissatisfaction.

Since the plan to send troops was decided, He Bai began to distribute work, preparing money, grain, wagons and horses, as well as accompanying the army and civilians. There is still a large surplus of these materials in the national rejuvenation project, as long as they are gathered. Minfu recruited an average of 900 people per county, and a total of 15,000 people were recruited. As for staying in Beihai to be in charge of political affairs, He Bai handed over to Zhang Zhao, who already had a sense of belonging, in charge, and took him as a test for Beihai Cheng and sat in Beihai.

In terms of the army used, the 5,000 men and horses of the Xiyuan army will be the main force. Because of He Bai's foresight, more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians in Luoyang have been trained in Beihai for more than three months, and they can already be used as an army and an auxiliary soldier. In addition, He Bai had sent envoys to Changshan and Zhongshan to recruit troops before, and ordered 3,000 soldiers to come to converge, plus 3,000 soldiers from Beihai Kingdom, a total of more than 16,000 soldiers and horses could be dispatched.

Just when He Bai was dispatching troops, a messenger sent by Liu Fan, the king of Donglai, suddenly came to ask for help, saying that a total of more than 100,000 people from the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Rao and Guan Hai were attacking the county seat of Huangxian County, the county seat of Donglai.

He Bai couldn't help but be surprised, he rescued Liu Bian, the king of Donglai, from Luoyang City, and placed him in Donglai Kingdom on the side of Beihai Kingdom, the purpose of which was to use it as an idle man. One day in the future, if you can't succeed in capturing Emperor Han Xian and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, you may use him to fight with Emperor Han Xian, how can you allow it to be destroyed by the Yellow Turban thieves.

He Bai then hurriedly ordered his army to assemble and asked the envoy the reason for the incident. It turned out that after the inauguration of King Donglai in November last year, Lu Zhi, the minister of Donglai, heard that there were two groups of yellow turban thieves in the country operating in Lu Township and Dangli County in the west, with a number of about 70,000. Lu Zhi was afraid that the Yellow Turban would be too big, so he reorganized his army and prepared to fight. Because the soldiers of Donglai County had not been trained for a long time, they were afraid that they would not be able to go to the battlefield, so they could not make the trip for a while.

In December, the Yellow Turban thieves Zhang Rao and Guan Hai heard about Lu Zhi's training of the county soldiers, and knew that they had come for themselves. So he took the initiative to surrender to Liu Bian, the king of Donglai, hoping to be able to submit to his command and become a general. But Lu Zhi, the prime minister of Donglai, thought that the two surrendered for no reason before they fought, and there must be a conspiracy in it. So he tried his best to prevent the king of Donglai from surrendering, and stepped up time to train soldiers and prepare the city defenses to prevent the two from rioting.

It wasn't until the third day of the first lunar month after the next year, when the training of the Donglai county soldiers ended, and Lu Zhi thought that the county soldiers were already ready to use, so he decided to preemptively attack the thieves of Zhang Rao and Guan Hai. In this battle, Lu Zhi can be said to be full of confidence, thinking that the hundreds of thousands of Jizhou Yellow Turban elites led by Zhang Jiao back then were suppressed by him with a small number of enemies, so there was no transmission that He Bai from Beihai sent troops to help.

On the seventh day of the first month, Lu Zhi led his troops to fight with Zhang Rao and Guan Hai in Ye County, and Lu Zhi defeated tens of thousands of yellow turbans with 4,000 soldiers and horses. When Lu Zhi was in high spirits, on the tenth day of the first month, he suddenly heard that Guan Hai led more than 10,000 elite yellow turban thieves to take the trail and go straight to Huangxian. At this time, it has passed Xianxian County, and it is only dozens of miles away from Huang County.

Lu Zhi was shocked, and quietly withdrew his troops at night to hope for the rescue of Huang County, and Zhang Rao, who got the news the next day, immediately led all the Yellow Turban thieves to chase straight away, all the way to the two cities of Ye County and Qucheng County, and carried 100,000 people to Wanghuang County. Lu Zhi had nothing to do, so he sent a messenger to Beihai for help.
