Chapter 65 Issuing the Correction Edict
July 5, 186.
Cao Cao made an alliance with Yuan Shao and wrote a message to reach all the counties. The princes in each town raised troops to respond.
There are Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, Du Shihao, the governor of Hejian, Huang Wan, the governor of Yuzhou, Qiao Mao, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Bazhi, the governor of Xuzhou, Qin Mo, the governor of Liaodong, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, and the governor of Bohai.
Yuan Shao et al.
Due to the advance of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Han Fu, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Ma Teng and others were unable to enter the stage of history. Gongsun Zan was appointed as the governor of Changli County by Qin Mo.
Liu Guan and Zhang, who had great brilliance in history, died early in battle.
Except for Qin Mo and Du Shihao, the princes from all walks of life are almost all from the Guandong family.
There were many wealthy families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, among which the Kanto clan and the Kansai clan were the largest.
The Yuan family, the Yang family, and the Sima family are the most famous among the Kanto families, while the Kansai families are relatively scattered, and Dong Zhuo is already considered the most powerful among them.
Because Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, the Eastern Han Dynasty focused on developing the Guandong region. As a result, there were many famous families in Guandong and the decline of Guanxi. There were only some families that could only be described as powerful.
The aristocratic families are mainly composed of scholars, and the wealthy families mostly rise through force.
Because of this, the Guandong family has always looked down on the powerful Kansai. Moreover, the land of Kansai has been relatively barren since the fall of the Western Han Dynasty. It has experienced several Qiang disasters and is regarded as a barren land by the Guandong family.
Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, and the Guandong families immediately joined forces to send troops.
But when Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang and returned to Chang'an, they stopped pursuing him, not wanting to enter what they regarded as a barren land.
…………
After receiving the message, Qin Mo immediately led the Liaodong Army southward.
The three thousand mercenaries led by Wei Tianli were temporarily reorganized into the rear army of the Liaodong Army, and he was temporarily awarded the post of general of the rear army by Qin Mo.
The six armies of the Liaodong Army were fully prepared, with infantry and cavalry combined, totaling more than 28,000 men.
In fact, the commander-in-chief Deng Mao, including some of the generals in the army, did not understand Qin Mo's move of the entire army southward with such great fanfare.
No matter how you look at it, it's not necessary.
For one thing, Qin Mo was not from a Guandong family.
Secondly, Liaodong is located on the border of the empire. Even if Dong Zhuo is defeated, it seems that he will not gain much glory.
But if anything goes wrong during this trip and the Liaodong Army is damaged, the foundation of Liaodong may be shaken. No one would think that Xianbei would remain humble after becoming a minister.
Facing Deng Mao's inquiry, Qin Mo said with a smile: "After this battle, if I still return to Liaodong to serve as a military envoy, it will be a failure. There is no need to participate at all."
Qin Mo never thought about returning to Liaodong.
Today, Liaodong's prosperity has risen to 85 points, which has basically reached its limit. In the past two months, it has not increased at all.
For Qin Mo, Liaodong has no use value.
When the army passed through Ji County, Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu generously donated a sum of food and grass. The two of them did not want to fight, but at least they had the same position on the matter of "crueling Dong Zhuo and helping the Han Dynasty".
The funniest thing is that while the army was marching south, Qin Mo took the time to take the college entrance examination.
Other candidates may be nervous on the spot, but for a thousand-year-old demon like Qin Mo, an exam is as stable as a dog, and his performance is as stable as ever.
Nothing went wrong.
On the other hand, my parents were extremely nervous. They rushed to school every day to "accompany me for the exam". My mother, Zhou Yuying, stood in the middle of all the parents with a big belly. That scene...
Fortunately, Qin Mo is thick-skinned.
…………
July 18th.
After walking on the road for a full twelve days, Qin Mo led the Liaodong Army through Youzhou and Jizhou, all the way south into Yanzhou, and finally arrived at Chenliu County, the base camp where Cao Cao was located.
It is also a stronghold for alliances between princes.
This place is about 12o kilometers away from Hulao Pass, the eastern gateway of Luoyang.
Among the princes in the towns, Qin Mo was already the furthest away. Therefore, before the Liaodong Army arrived, the princes from all the towns had already led their troops one after another, and each set up camp in a stronghold for dozens of miles.
It's truly spectacular.
The princes in each town basically had about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao had the most, with a total of 30,000.
Because Qin Mo has been in the limelight recently and is praised by the people as "Huo Qubing is alive", and the Liaodong Army under his command is a famous elite force, Cao Cao, as the host, is still very patient.
The camp was even prepared for the Liaodong Army in advance, and there was enough food and grass.
The service is very good.
This scene made those players who arrived early see it, and they were all envious to death.
Two years have passed, and the player's strength has improved, and their status has also improved slightly, but in the eyes of the real aristocratic families, they are still a bunch of bullies who can only be used.
Never treated on an equal footing.
This time the princes gathered together, in addition to the princes' armies, there were also mercenaries from all walks of life. There were no less than 40,000 people. They were all the elites among the players.
The treatment received is very different.
Fortunately, those mercenaries who cooperated with the local princes were able to get a few barracks and get some food and grass, so the scene was not too ugly.
It is miserable to come alone.
Not only do they have to build their own camps in remote areas on the outskirts, but they don't even get a grain of food. They are basically a group of wild children who are left to fend for themselves.
But he has no right to speak at all.
…………
On the same day, Cao Cao personally went out of the city to greet him.
Seeing Dian Wei following Qin Mo, Cao Cao felt inexplicably panicked, as if Qin Mo had taken something that originally belonged to him, and felt a little disappointed.
Under the "taboo" of Heaven's Law, players cannot reveal the historical direction to the natives.
The most it can do is share real-time information.
Therefore, Cao Cao did not know that Dian Wei would be a fierce general under his command in history, and he had protected him Zhou Quan many times. Without Dian Wei, his luck would inevitably be weakened.
…
The next day, as soon as Qin Mo settled down, he was invited into the city to discuss matters. The host, Cao Cao, slaughtered cattle and horses and gathered the princes to discuss the strategy of advancing the army.
The layout of the hall is also very interesting.
The princes from all walks of life sit opposite each other, seemingly casually, but in fact, the higher the strength and qualifications, the higher the position. Only the top seat is vacant.
Cao Cao held Qin Mo very high and placed him in the first position on his right hand.
Only under Yuan Shao.
With such an arrangement, I don’t know whether it’s because I really respect him or if I have ulterior motives to put Qin Mo on the shelf.
In terms of scheming, Cao Cao really beat everyone.
Another foreign prince, Du Shihao, the governor of Hejian, was assigned to the last seat. When he saw Qin Mo walking by, he wanted to hide his head under the table.
Comparing one person to another makes people angry...
Qin Mo did his part and sat on the ground in front of the case, with Dian Wei and Zhao Yun Hengha standing behind him.
Very domineering.
The other princes also bring their own powerful generals. For example, behind Cao Cao are Xiahou Dun and the Xiahou Yuan brothers. There are also players who are lucky enough to accompany local princes.
For example, Chu Zhongliu stood behind Sun Jian, and Wu Kui stood behind Yuan Shao.
After everyone sat down, Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, was the first to jump out and said: "Now that we have great righteousness, we must establish an alliance leader. Everyone will obey the restraints and then march forward."
This is very necessary.
As the saying goes: "If the name is not correct, then the words will not be smooth. If the words are not smooth, then the things will not be accomplished."
Whenever you do great things, you must have great righteousness and establish a great reputation.
What's more, the princes from all walks of life are gathered together this time. Although they have a common goal, the relationship between them is complicated, so it is even more necessary to choose a person to take the lead.
When acting in the army, it is most taboo to send orders to many places.
Cao Cao said: "The name of the Marquis of Youzhou spreads all over the world and threatens the whole world. His troops are like wolves and tigers, so he can be the leader of the alliance." He wanted to put Qin Mo on the fire.
As soon as he finished speaking, not only Yuan Shao's expression changed, but the other princes were also dissatisfied.
a stranger,
Being able to participate in the alliance is a great honor, so why should I be the leader?
Qin Mo, however, was calm and said calmly: "Mo is still young and does not dare to take on this important task. Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third prince, has many old officials and is a descendant of a famous prime minister in the Han Dynasty, so he can be the leader of the alliance."
Yuan Shao's face immediately turned happy, but he repeatedly declined. For those who didn't know, he thought he was going to recommend him to the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
What a show...
Everyone said: "It has to be the original one."
