Chapter 31 Plan Changes

Asking Lu Zhi to write a letter to Liu Bei was naturally taking advantage of Lu Zhi's status as teacher.

At the same time, Liu Xuan also fully considered that Liu Bei's current status did not seem to be suitable for such an eye-catching behavior - Cao Cao could issue a proclamation, firstly because he himself was a famous person at the time, and secondly, even if he abandoned his official position and escaped from the capital, he would not be able to do so in the future.

In the eyes of many people, he was once an official in the capital.

What's more, the Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan were established by the late emperor and were nominally directly subordinate to the emperor's personal guards. Although Cao Cao was only one of the captains, with his status as a guard of the emperor, he could naturally be accepted by the world when he issued a proclamation against thieves.

But Liu Bei couldn't do it. Although Liu Bei had the name of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he was not recognized by the emperor. Without royal recognition, you, as a clan member of the Han clan, would not be able to count. Therefore, even if Liu Bei issued a letter, there would not be many followers.

Naturally, this situation would not be ignored. Liu Xuan came up with two ideas for Liu Bei: one was to issue a petition in the name of Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peking, and the other was to issue a petition in the name of Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai.

Of course, Liu Bei will not be without benefits. He is asked to write this memorandum, and his name will be signed in the end. As soon as the memorandum is published, Liu Bei's name will immediately be known to everyone. This is also true for Liu Bei.

Naturally, I won't let go of such a great thing.

According to Liu Xuan's wishes, it would be best to ask Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, to issue this memorandum. However, considering the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan may be the one to issue it in the end.

But the final result shocked Liu Xuan: Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao actually jointly issued a proclamation against thieves. The response was even more enthusiastic. Almost all the heroes in the Kanto region raised troops, and even Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang in the northwest, also

Echoing each other from a distance - it is impossible to expect Ma Teng to really play any role. It is already very difficult to wave the flag and shout out the support behind Dong Zhuo's hometown.

The coalition of princes finally called themselves the Alliance to Defeat Dong, elected Yuan Shao as the alliance leader, and Gongsun Zan as the deputy alliance leader. They gathered tens of thousands of troops and headed straight for Luoyang with astonishing momentum.

When the news reached Luoyang, the capital, Dong Zhuo was naturally very angry. He even scolded Grand Master Yuan Wei directly in the court and even wanted to execute Yuan Wei as soon as he spoke.

The crime was naturally that of treason.

It was already the second year of Yonghan - but as soon as the New Year passed, these old ministers talked about changing the Yuan Dynasty again. This time Liu Xuan couldn't stand their nonsense, so he said directly: "Let's just build it!"

Anyway, this era name will be completely abolished after he really takes power, and then a fixed calendar will be introduced, so he did it without stopping and directly moved out the longest era name that was originally used by Emperor Xian. When the ministers saw the emperor speaking, they did not hesitate.

It's easy to refute, and the year name of Jian'an is not bad, so according to Liu Xuan's wishes, the year name was changed to Jian'an, which was the first year of Jian'an.

Liu Xuan had another set of calendars in his mind. It should be AD 190, and the battle against Dong Zhuo was this year. However, it ended in an anticlimactic manner and ended after two battles. But only after these two battles were fought, Dong Zhuo would

He moved the capital to Chang'an because he was afraid of the heroes of Guandong. At that time, Dong Zhuo had completed his historical mission, and Liu Xuan no longer had the need to keep him.

Just because a major event was approaching, Liu Xuan needed to win over the princes in the court more and more. Therefore, when Dong Zhuo was furious and wanted to kill Yuan Wei to vent his anger, Liu Xuan said: "Yuan Taifu has been in the court for a long time and is loyal to the country. He will not do that."

The rebellion in Guandong should be attributed to Yuan Benchu ​​on his own initiative, and the Taifu cannot be blamed for it."

Dong Zhuo didn't seem to expect that when all the princes in the court were afraid to speak, the emperor would dare to speak, and the meaning of his words seemed to be to protect Yuan Wei?

Dong Zhuo, who had been domineering for half a year, suddenly felt that he was offended. Even if this person was the emperor, he was extremely unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Ru winking at him not far away. Although he was angry in his heart, he still refused.

He showed his attitude as a minister and said to Liu Xuan: "I have lost my composure. Your Majesty, please blame me."

Liu Xuan was a little surprised when he saw Dong Zhuo surrendering. At the same time, he did not continue to struggle with this issue, so the early court meeting ended like this. Tutor Yuan Wei had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but unexpectedly things took a turn for the worse? Since he ascended the throne,

The emperor, who had always behaved himself, actually opened his mouth to save himself?

"What's the reason for this? Could it be that the emperor wants to rely on me to check and balance Dong Zhuo?"

I couldn't think of a solution, so I wanted to discuss and plan with some people. However, the Yuan family was powerful and had its own faction in the court. At this time, I couldn't find anyone suitable to discuss it with.

While he was feeling depressed, he suddenly saw Situ Wang Yun wink at him secretly, and then he whispered to invite him to come over as they passed by him.

Although Liu Xuan did not see this, he had noticed that Wang Yun was secretly making eye contact with several people. He estimated that this Wang Situ had met the alliance of Guandong princes and seemed to have hope of overthrowing Dong Zhuo under the pressure of the soldiers, so he wanted to do it unwillingly.

What happened.

He couldn't get involved in this, let alone stop it with words. He just returned to the palace, called Xun Yu, and discussed with him to see if anything would happen this time.

"My clan's eldest son Xun Gongda is also invited by Wang Situ today. Why don't we call him over in the evening and ask your Majesty to ask?"

Because Xun Yu served the emperor in the palace, it was inconvenient for him to participate in many things. However, Xun You often went in and out of the palace due to his official duties and was quite familiar with many courtiers, not to mention that he was a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan.

The person who receives the most attention from the Xun family in the court today is Sikong Xun Shuang. This time he was also invited to his residence by Wang Yun. Now that Liu Xuan has decided to win over Xun Yu, he also values ​​the Xun family in Yingchuan a little more.

, then he noticed that the Sikong in his court was also a member of the Xun family - he used to only focus on those few people, and Xun Shuang was semi-forced to join the court, so he was extremely low-key in the court and did not speak much when he went to court on weekdays.

, Liu Xuan was so troubled that he never paid attention to him.

Since the Xun family had "sneaked" into the 'party', Liu Xuan didn't care anymore, and instead discussed with Xun Yu about asking for an alliance with Dong.

"The princes of Guandong raised troops to attack Dong, but they didn't know how many of them were really trying to eradicate evil spirits."

Xun Yu did not answer, but said: "Today, all the heroes have gathered together, each with countless troops and horses, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. For example, Yuan Shao, the governor of the Bohai Sea, has only one governor, but has tens of thousands of troops. I'm afraid that

The picture is huge!”

This time the princes raised their troops, the momentum was extremely shocking, but at the same time, it also exposed some shameful things about the heroes of Guandong - they were all members of the Han Dynasty, but these county governors had many soldiers and horses, and they could mobilize them at will.

You can also cross state lines to attack thieves, which shows that the counties in Guandong are no longer under the control of the imperial court.

Even though there is a name for attacking thieves, one can still not escape the reality of supporting soldiers and respecting oneself.

"Today, everyone has exposed their own troops. I am afraid that if Dong Zhuo falls, they will immediately attack each other. At that time, Kantong was in chaos, but it was a perfect opportunity for me to restore the land of Kansai."

Xun Yu said, "But if Dong Zhuo is defeated by the coalition forces, how will your Majesty deal with these many princes?"

After much deliberation, we can only give them rewards each and then let them return to their respective territories. But there are many ambitious people among the princes. What if these people are not satisfied with the rewards and insist on leading troops to Luoyang?

Is it possible to resist with troops and horses? Then completely break up with the princes of the world. I am afraid that the princes will unite and destroy the imperial court as soon as possible.

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "As soon as Dong Zhuo shows signs of defeat, he will directly move the capital to Chang'an, leaving Luoyang to him to compete with those heroes."

This is considered a backup plan arranged by Liu Xuan.

That is, if things change and things don't go according to his plan, then he will abandon the capital before Dong Zhuo - although it will damage his majesty as emperor, this is exactly what he wants.

If not, how could the heroes of Guandong completely put the emperor aside? So what Liu Xuan had to do at this time was to ruin his reputation, and then go to Kansai to develop in a low-key manner.

He remembered that when the fight between the Dong Alliance and Dong Zhuo was at its most intense, Dong Zhuo had a record of personally leading the army to fight against the alliance. That was when they left Luoyang.

If you do this, there will be a lot of trouble, and you have to be wary of Dong Zhuo leading his troops to pursue him. At that time, all he can count on seems to be Cao Cao's Yulin Army.

In addition, the time must be calculated well, and Dong Zhuo's army must be restrained by the heroes of Guandong and unable to do anything at all. Only then can it be truly successful.

"Does Your Majesty want to use the natural danger of Tongguan to stop Dong Zhuo, and then sit back and watch Dong Zhuo fight with other heroes and take the northwest land?"

Xun Yu talked with Liu Xuan for a while and immediately understood Liu Xuan's plan. He thought about it and suddenly said: "This plan is better than the previous one. Why doesn't your majesty use this plan first?"

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment and was stunned by the question.

"Yes! Since we can achieve the same effect, why do I have to stick to the original routine?"

He originally thought that since he could achieve his goal by following the original development process, he could just watch from the sidelines. Only then did he remember that if he took the initiative, he could even dominate the world two years earlier.

In the past, it didn't matter if it was two years earlier or two years later. At that time, once he came out of seclusion, it would be more than two years, or even twenty years. But now is the time when he is about to develop. If he misses these two years, a lot of things will be different.

On the other hand, in just these two years, it is possible to train the Yulin Army into a strong army, and even form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that Cao Cao has been thinking about.

"It's just that Hulao is only fifty miles away from Luoyang. If your Majesty makes any changes, Dong Zhuo may be informed immediately."

Liu Xuan thought for a while: "This matter is not difficult. Even if Dong Zhuo leads the army to leave the capital, he will definitely leave someone to monitor me and all the officials in the court. Just make some articles on the person who monitors me."

Xun Yu thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, you want to recruit Marquis Duting?" But then he frowned and said, "Marquis Duting has worshiped Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to recruit him."

"Everyone in the world wants nothing more than fame and fortune. Now I can give whatever Du Tinghou asks for, so why can't I recruit him? Even if Du Tinghou is not interested, how can his generals not be tempted?"
