Chapter 110 Boss Cao is also starting to get jealous
In just a few months, Li Jue and Guo Si conquered Chang'an in Guanzhong where Sili was located for several months.
From the beginning, the two became friends and guarded Chang'an together, but later turned into enemies. In the end, the benefits were not worth it.
No one can refuse that kind of right that is subordinate to one person and superior to that of ten thousand people.
Starting from Dong Zhuo, then to Li Jue, and the remaining Guo Si, naturally they couldn't sit still.
The two compete with each other and win or lose.
After the previous locust plague in Chang'an, coupled with the war between the two, it will be difficult for Chang'an to recover for a period of time.
As for Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
What they value is only their immediate interests. Chang'an's life and death has nothing to do with them.
And Xiandi Liu Xie, caught between the two, was the most painful.
He is obviously the most powerful person in the world, but he is like a puppet, being manipulated by others!
But Li Jue didn't want the emperor to go back to Luoyang.
The originally tense atmosphere began to change a little.
In addition, there is another severe drought this year. Not to mention Chang'an, Luoyang is also full of disasters.
"Look at that ruined city!"
Of course, since Dong Zhuo's cholera court, the power of the entire Han court has become less powerful day by day.
After that, Xian Yufu united with King Wuhuanqiao and more than 7,000 Hu cavalry to meet Liu He, son of Liu Yu, southward.
Sun Ce was extremely brave in his first battle, quite like Xiang Yu in his time.
When the army arrived at Liyang, Sun Ce immediately began to attack Liu Yao's generals Fan Neng and Zhang Ying, who refused to defend Hengjiang and Dangli Yangtze River crossings.
After that, Sun Ce led his army into Qu'a, pacified the counties and treated the people well.
The beginning of the year.
But this time, Sun Ce's attack on Xiapi seemed to be venting his anger for Yuan Shu.
However, he had no objection to Li Jue's proposal.
That month, the two armies fought in the north of Lu County. Yan Rou defeated Zou Dan and beheaded more than 4,000 people.
Immediately, in the same month, Daijun, Guangyang County, Shanggu County, Youbeiping County and other counties all rebelled against Gongsun Zan.
Even he couldn't think of any way to deal with it in a short time.
On the other hand, returning to Luoyang would somewhat increase the power of the imperial court, which Li Jue and others did not want to see.
Although Cao Cao was a little disdainful.
What he did was even more extreme than Dong Zhuo!
After the three people discussed it, the war in Chang'an temporarily stopped.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others marched into Xinfeng and settled there temporarily.
But deep down, I still felt a little sore after all.
It's really disappointing.
However, until now, the imperial court has not officially recognized him as Yanzhou Mu.
Because of the blank paper, the entire Juancheng business has developed accordingly.
Inside the Juancheng Yamen Office, the air pressure became a little lower with Cao Cao's sneer.
In each county, troops were raised to attack and kill the officials appointed by Gongsun Zan, and then joined forces with Xian Yufu, Liu He and others.
This is why Liu Xie felt like a puppet, and even wrote in blood in the end, issuing the so-called Belt Edict.
After that, Sun Ce occupied Danyang County and Wu County, and there was a faint tendency to threaten Jiangdong.
Sun Ce appeared too quickly!
Like a dazzling star, in just half a year, his reputation has grown with each war.
"Now that all the princes in the world are watching with eager eyes, if you two are fighting each other again, wouldn't it mean that you are at war with each other?"
Liu Yu had previously served as the shepherd of Youzhou and was very popular among the people.
It's really a joke.
Xian Yufu, who was originally engaged in Youzhou, united with the state soldiers, and planned to avenge Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou.
Simply because Zhang Ji was still there, with Zhang Ji between the two, the short-term changes were temporarily suppressed.
The positions of three princes, generals of chariots and cavalry, these positions were placed in the previous big men, which are positions that ordinary people would find difficult to reach in a lifetime.
His long-cherished plan to help the Han Dynasty has begun to bear fruit.
After confirming his return to the east, Liu Xie was only thinking about returning to Luoyang as soon as possible.
Cao Cao thought that his ideal when he was young was just a general of Han Dynasty conquering the west, and the title of Marquis Cao.
"The Emperor is returning eastward. Since it is possible that he will pass through Yanzhou, I think I will just wait quietly!"
but now.
Xi Yu knew it and Liu Xie returned to Luoyang.
However, for a small intention of returning eastward, he had to send envoys more than ten times.
Since Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce has been affiliated with Yuan Shu.
First, he proclaimed himself Sikong, followed by the power of leading chariots and cavalry generals, and also taking an overview of the government affairs.
Under such circumstances.
unless.
At that time, Liu He was in Jizhou. When Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, learned of this incident, he sent General Qu Yi, Liu He, Xian Yufu, King Wuhuanqiao and others to join forces of 100,000 to attack Gongsun Zan.
Within the Juancheng Yamen Office.
Hearing this, Guo Si didn't have much opinion: "It's possible to strike out, but how do you plan to treat the emperor?"
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he followed Zhu Jun to pacify the Yellow Turbans. After settling in Yanzhou, he also pacified the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans.
"you!"
On the contrary, in order to compete with Yuan Shao for territory, Gongsun Zan began to attack Yuan Shao crazily.
Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to Sun Ce at first, but now, as the other party attacked Xuzhou, Cao Cao became annoyed!
Knowing this situation, Liu Xie was somewhat excited.
Immediately, everyone led their troops out of Tunchiyang. In the same month, Liu Xie was grateful for Zhang Ji's meritorious service and named him the General of the Han Dynasty Guard Banner, Yang Ding as the Rear General, Yang Feng as the Xingyi General, and Dong Cheng as the Anji General.
Over the years, I have worked diligently and devotedly to helping the Han Dynasty.
For more than half a year, the current situation in Yanzhou feels like it is unparalleled in any other country.
However, Cao Cao did more things later than Li Jue and Guo Si.
It seems that the power of the Han court has been lowered a lot because of the self-proclaimed nature of these two people.
Hongnong is a great place!
On the one hand, it was a warning to the emperor, as this was the former young emperor's fiefdom. On the other hand, compared to the ruined capital Luoyang, Hongnong was indeed a good place.
With Liu Xie's extra persistence, all the ministers in the court expressed his intention to return eastward.
At the same time, a series of tools such as Yanzhou's unique waterwheels also began to be introduced to the Han states.
In the same month, because Li Jue scolded his subordinate Yang Feng one time, Yang Feng gradually felt a little resentful.
That night, Yang Feng turned to make friends with Guo Si.
The atmosphere seemed a bit stagnant.
At least, these two people don't actually ask for much from the court, just the so-called status.
"My lord, your Majesty has now set out to return eastward. He will surely pass through our land of Yanzhou. We can take this opportunity to welcome your Majesty!"
But after returning to Luoyang, Liu Xie will find that the Luoyang in his memory is no longer the original Luoyang.
After these words were finished, all three people in the entire camp remained silent.
At that time, Li Jue, Zhang Ji and Guo Si were working together.
July, Youzhou.
Yanzhou Juancheng!
"As long as Yuan Jiang persuades you, the matter will be over!"
At the end of August, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and others to garrison Xuzhou to assist Cao Ren in defending Xuzhou.
Even though he knew that the envoy he sent was hung outside the east gate, Liu Xie did not dare to lose his temper in front of Li Jue.
If they can please His Majesty, the situation of the Han Dynasty will become increasingly prosperous in the future.
This situation made Cao Cao a little angry.
"I think it's better for me to wait for good news!"
"Sun Wentai does have a good son!"
Sun Ce, who was originally affiliated with Yuan Shu, has begun to show signs of rising with the help of Yuan Shu.
The three exchanged their daughters for hostages, which was regarded as a marriage, and then they got back together.
After that, Sun Ce did not attack Xuzhou.
"Your Majesty still wants to return to Luoyang?"
Another deputy general gave an example of Fan Chou and others in front of Yang Feng.
Same month.
Xian Yufu recommended Yan Rou, who had a good reputation in Youzhou, as Wuhuan Sima.
"Hongnong?"
If he had not already agreed with Xun Yu and others, both Yanzhou and Xuzhou needed to recuperate now, and he would never have swallowed this easily.
At this point, Cao Cao's approach was almost the same as that of Dong Zhuo.
But if you go to the palace with swords and shoes, you won't be able to save them when you enter the court.
At that time, Li and Guo met in Zhang Ji's camp.
The huge Luoyang has become an abandoned city.
"Childish, mostly!"
Xun Yu frowned, Li and Guo were indeed facing problems.
Compare what they did to Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
After looking at Guo Si, Li Jue was the first to let go.
Since Xuzhou was captured, although Xuzhou belonged to Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not dismiss all officials in Xuzhou.
The corners of Li Jue's lips curled up slightly. The emperor wanted to return to Luoyang. Now all the princes in the court had this intention.
Together with the Qiang and Hu soldiers that Li Jue had previously recruited, Liu Xie also received successive rewards for returning eastward.
A series of rewards is like making a deal with the emperor.
However, people like Li Jue and Guo Si are still facing problems after all.
Li Jue suggested.
Hearing Cao Cao's tone, Xi Yu knew that Lao Cao was starting to feel sad.
In this battle, Fan Neng and Zhang Ying were defeated, and Sun Ce immediately headed east to the Yangtze River.
Although Cao Cao was a little angry, he still quite recognized Sun Ce.
In early August, Yuan Shao and others defeated Gongsun Zan in Baoqiu, beheading more than 20,000 people.
This is even more excessive than Li Jue and Guo Si.
The opponent hurriedly attacked Xiapi, only carried out some looting, and did not occupy the city. They quickly retreated after following the layout.
In terms of Cao Cao, he is actually not much different from himself.
"Since he wants to return to Luoyang, let him go back and have a look!"
It seems that following Zhang Ji's advice, both of them recalled the time when they trusted each other before.
He worked hard over the years, from serving as an official to punish the powerful, to later serving as a Langguan.
After Cao Cao raised the question, he began to look at the crowd quietly.
It is not that easy to please the emperor among these people.
Before leaving Chang'an, Liu Xie's thoughts about returning east seemed to be stuck in his mind.
After saying these words, Yang Feng's heart began to waver.
But it is possible that after the emperor learns about the situation in Yanzhou, he will take the initiative to come to Cao Cao!
…
This was something Li Jue thought about carefully after learning that the princes in the court wanted to return to Luoyang.
"Your Majesty wishes to return eastward!"
As for the subsequent promotion to Wei Gong, and then to Wei Wang, the Han court was no longer taken seriously by Cao Cao.
Thinking of the emperor, Cao Cao was naturally a little moved.
Until early June!
Zhang Ji led his troops from Shaanxi County to Chang'an and personally began to negotiate an agreement between Li Jue and Guo Si.
Now, Xi Yu felt that it was not Cao Cao who needed to please the emperor.
Cao Cao was naturally happy to welcome the emperor.
Sun Ce led his troops of five to six thousand men to help his uncle Wu Jing take the initiative to attack Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou.
Liu Xie felt aggrieved, but he could only tolerate it.
It seems hard to sleep well this night in Beiwu.
“It’s better to move to Hongnong!”
Anyway!
Afterwards, Yan Rou summoned the Hu and Han people, and gained tens of thousands of soldiers. She immediately began to attack Zou Dan, the governor of Yuyang appointed by Gongsun Zan.
Whether it is Hongnong or returning to Luoyang, there is not much difference for Guo Bin.
Faced with this situation, after Li Jue refused several times, he felt helpless.
Guo Bin was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
In August, Sun Ce defeated Muling City guarded by Xue Li and Xiapi City guarded by Zuo Rong. He also attacked Meiling, Hushu, Jiangcheng and other places, and went straight to Qu'a, Wu County occupied by Liu Yao.
Unless these people start fighting among themselves again.
Zhang Ji looked at Li Jue and Guo Si and couldn't help but offer words of advice.
…
After Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he did not implement benevolent policies like Liu Yu.
In addition to Youzhou, the situation in the entire south is also changing.
With Yanzhou's strength, although it can compete head-on with the strength of these people, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will fall into his hands.
It's just that God doesn't have what he wants!
When Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought last time, Sun Ce had not surrendered to Yuan Shu at that time.
"What a great Sun Ce, what a great Sun Bo Fu!"
…
Yang Feng defected and his own troops declined continuously. Li Jue was worried that Guo Si would take this opportunity to attack him, so he led his troops to kidnap Liu Xie.
It was so fast that Li Jue was a little overwhelmed.
"You two, Chang'an is no longer an inhabitable place. Why don't you allow Your Majesty to move on to this trip?"
But this time, as Yuan Shu gradually began to trust Sun Jian, the eldest son of the Jiangdong tiger finally began to show his fangs to all the princes.
However, once some gaps appear, they cannot be filled casually.
Seeing that the two had reached a ceasefire, Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and then made some suggestions.
He ordered that all Liu Yao's subordinates who surrendered would not be held accountable, and those who were willing to join the army would have their families exempted from taxes and duties. After using this method, they actually followed suit with the withdrawal of 20,000 troops and more than 1,000 horses.
The emperor's power is really fully demonstrated at this moment!
After Xi Yu finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.
"Everyone, I want to welcome the Emperor, but Li Jue, Guo Si and others will definitely stand in the way. How should our army respond?"
In April, Sun Ce captured Liu Yao's military camp in Niuzhu Mountain and obtained all the grain, weapons and other supplies.
At this moment, Xi Yu beside him was a little dazed.
This time Zhang Ji persuaded, and the two looked at each other.
"When the Grand Master was killed by Lu Bu's traitors, we were leaderless. At that time, all the princes in the court wanted our lives!"
Cao Cao was so angry that Sun Ce suddenly appeared, and his teeth ached.
At that time, as long as Lao Cao leads his troops to Luoyang, Liu Xie will roll into the bowl himself.
Their interests are now considered to be in agreement.
"If it weren't for our concerted efforts, would we be where we are today?"
"In the end, I'm afraid that both of you will lose. Don't you and I know that during the Warring States Period, the lips were dead and the teeth were cold?"
"What a great commander, what a chariot and cavalry general..."
It's just that the changes in Chang'an have already appeared. At this time, can Li and Guo really still fight?
"Brother, don't think too much!"
After these people were satisfied, it didn't take long for them to leave Li Jue's command to take care of themselves.
Who are Li Jue, Guo Si and others?
These people were just generals under Dong Zhuo before!
If it were the time when the Han Dynasty was at its peak, these people would not even be able to be called generals.
For Xun Yu, this was the time to please the emperor.
"Like Li Jue, Guo Si and others, they will definitely not be able to live in peace and harmony on their way back to Luoyang!"
Ever since Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, the subordinates of Youzhou who had been grateful for Liu Yu's kindness could no longer sit still.
Due to this change, in July, Guo Si, who had greatly increased his power, followed Li Jue and called himself the Han Dynasty Chariot and Cavalry General.
Nowadays, they have become like decorations.
Li Jue was willing to talk because it was difficult to stay in Chang'an. Similarly, Guo Si had similar ideas.
On the one hand, because of Dong Zhuo, Luoyang, which was once prosperous, is now sparsely populated.
After the reward was over, the army began to take Liu Xie on their way back east to Luoyang!
…
"You and I all followed Grand Master Dong at the beginning, and we felt like brothers at that time!"
And where is his Lao Cao!
That’s all I want!
Later, unable to satisfy Sikong's status, Cao Cao restored his former title of Prime Minister and proclaimed himself Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
Throughout Youzhou, Gongsun Zan was scattered like a tree falling down.
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao nodded.
Since the emperor set out to return eastward.
After learning that Xuzhou Xiapi and other places were captured by Sun Ce, Cao Cao felt a little bad.
Changes come too fast.
However, the idea of ​​Donggui had just been expressed, and the immediate response he got was that Li Jue planned to let him move to Hongnong!
Then follow the crusade against Xuzhou!
Later, Liu Yao was defeated in battle and retreated to Dantu.
Xun Yu didn't seem to hear the taste in Cao Cao's tone, so he casually gave him some advice.
Only with the existence of Li Jue and Guo Si, and now Zhang Ji, these three forces are united with each other.
The changes in Chang'an made Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer.
However, right now, this ordinary person will be in a position that will last for several years. Just because of the so-called troubled times, it can be placed on people's heads at will.
After taking the emperor to Xudu, Cao Cao was not polite at all when he rewarded himself.
Gongsun Zan was defeated one after another, and by the end of August, Gongsun Zan had no choice but to retreat to Yijing.
After being burned by Dong Zhuo, the entire vicinity of Luoyang was in ruins.
As for where the emperor would move, Guo Si didn't have much idea.
Hearing that Li Jue and others relented, Liu Xie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was only at this moment that he felt like he really was an emperor.
"Da Sima agreed?"
Sun Ce!
When Xi Yu heard this name, he was naturally very familiar with it.
However, Sun Ce is indeed like a star, he emerges quickly and his brilliance is extremely dazzling.
But it is a pity that his star is a comet that disappears in a blink of an eye.
Chapter completed!
