Chapter 217, Yuan Clan's Dilemma(1/2)
In the first year of Chuping (AD 190!) Luoyang City, Yuan Mansion!
At this time, the Yuan Mansion was already somewhat murderous. Ever since Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu rebelled, Dong Zhuo had sent his own soldiers to surround the Yuan Mansion. Although Yuan Feng and the others had not been restricted from entering and exiting, the purpose of surveillance was very obvious.
!
He Yong walked to Yuan Wei and said: "Master, you'd better take your family and leave Luoyang City as soon as possible. It's too dangerous for you here now!"
Yuan Wei waved his hand and said: "I can't leave now. As soon as I leave Luoyang City, the noble families in Luoyang City will be leaderless. Dong Zhuo has been frequently wooing the noble families in Luoyang City recently. He will have a small feast every three days and a big feast every five days. Plus
Some time ago, he re-examined the cases of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and party members. He restored the titles of the descendants of Chen Fan and Dou Wu, and sent envoys to pay homage to their graves, which won the hearts of many scholars.
If I leave, there may not be anyone in the wealthy families in Luoyang City who, like Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, took refuge under Dong Zhuo for the sake of glory and wealth. Dong Zhuo was already in charge of the 100,000-strong Central Army of the Han Dynasty. If he takes in Sili's people,
Then Dong Zhuo's wings will be ready, and if he secures his seat in Luoyang, their newly recruited soldiers will never be able to match Dong Zhuo's elite!"
Yuan Wei thought for a while and asked: "The most important thing for us now is to let Liu Bei, Huangfu Song and Liu Yu join our camp. As long as Liu Bei's 40,000 troops occupy Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo's retreat will be cut off."
.
The elite troops in Huangfu Song's hands are the only ones that can fight Dong Zhuo. He must be wary of joining our Dong Zhuo, and Liu Yu is highly respected in the clan. Only if he joins the alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo can they not be regarded as rebels.
We want all three of them to join the Alliance to Defeat Dong. If Dong Zhuo wants to survive, he must go to Xiliang according to our ideas. For the sake of his many years of military service, we can let him become a shepherd in Liangzhou and go to Xiliang to retire!"
He Yong whispered: "Although we contacted them, they seemed not to agree with us raising troops to fight against the imperial court. Judging from their replies, they believed that Dong Zhuo was just a powerful official of the Han Dynasty, and had not reached the level of heinous crimes. They thought that we could use other methods to fight against the imperial court."
Method to remove Dong Zhuo's rights.
Huangfu Song even said that Dong Zhuo could not live for more than a few years at his age, so it didn't matter if the Han Dynasty allowed him to be in power for a few years. It would only be great to have another powerful minister. Raising troops was the most effective method. Liu Bei even
Denounce us, saying that we are in a cholera world! I'm just afraid that Liu Bei will side with Dong Zhuo, and then we will be in trouble!"
Yuan Wei's face turned ugly when he heard this. He could think of the reaction of the powerful nobles, but he did not expect that Liu Bei, Huangfu Song and Liu Yu would not agree with his method of driving Dong Zhuo away!
Liu Bei has experienced hundreds of battles in the past few years and is the most experienced among the generals of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the 40,000 soldiers in his hands are also the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Bei helps Dong Zhuo deal with Yuan Shao and the others, he will only rely on the army in Liu Bei's hands.
You can sweep away Yuan Shao's coalition forces!
Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are fellow villagers. Yuan Wei originally thought that Huangfu Song had a bad relationship with Dong Zhuo, but he had a good relationship with the Guandong gentry and would not stand up for Dong Zhuo. But now it seems that he was wrong, and Huangfu Song also thought
I want Takeru Kansai to take over the power of the Han Dynasty!
And Liu Yu is the most prestigious person in the clan. If he does not side with Yuan Shao, the clan members surnamed Liu in the world will only think that Yuan Shao and the others are rebelling. In this way, Yuan Shao and the others will no longer have any legal basis to oppose Dong Zhuo!
In fact, in He Yong's view, Yuan Wei took things for granted. Liu Bei and Liu Yu were not members of the noble clan. They were clansmen. How could they watch Yuan Shao rebel against the imperial court? Isn't this just establishing a new central government?
In the eyes of Liu Bei and Liu Yu, this kind of behavior is even worse than Dong Zhuo's. This is already overturning the table and overthrowing the big man's world.
Moreover, what Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did a year ago, Liu Bei and Liu Yu have not forgotten. In their view, Dong Zhuo is just a black glove of the Yuan family. Now the two sides are falling out because of their power. It is just dog bite dog, even to Liu Bei and Liu Yu.
In fact, the Yuan Clan would be even more hateful, if they had not forced Luoyang City into chaos for their own benefit and killed General He Jun.
Now Dong Zhuo was released in order to allow the Yuan clan to escape the whirlpool of political struggle, and now they also want Liu Bei, Liu Yu and Yuan Shao to join forces to deal with Dong Zhuo. This is a great idea.
To be honest, Liu Bei wanted to kill the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu! Only by using the heads of these two brothers could he intimidate the lawless nobles of the Han Dynasty, and let the entire Han nobles know that the world still belongs to the Liu family.
Huangfu Song faced the pressure of the Tengjia Army directly. He now had the energy to divide his troops to deal with Dong Zhuo. What if the Tengjia Army rushed out of the Taihang Mountains and attacked Jizhou. Judging from the current situation of the Han Dynasty, they had no way to suppress the Tengjia Army.
The army in Huangfu Song's hands was the only chain that suppressed the Tengjia Army. He Yong did not agree with letting Huangfu Song deal with Dong Zhuo. After all, they drove Dong Zhuo away to take charge of the Han Dynasty. If the court was overthrown by the Tengjia Army, what would they do?
What’s the point of all this!
Yuan Wei thought for a while and said: "How is the contact with other parties going? Are they willing to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo?"
He Yong's novel said: "Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, said that Xuzhou had been devastated by the Yellow Turban bandits and that he had no troops to join the alliance to conquer Dong! Cui Jun, the governor of Qingzhou, also did not agree with raising troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and the powerful gentry in Nanyang County, Ying
The nobles in Sichuan County are even more unwilling to support the highway. They think this is an internal struggle within the Yuan clan and has nothing to do with them! As for the noble clans in other places, they are too far away and treat us perfunctorily. It seems they just want to watch the fun.
!”
Yuan Wei stopped talking. It seemed that he was too optimistic about asking Dong!
He Yong thought for a while and said: "Dong Zhuo has not done much bad things now. Other noble families in the world are watching our jokes and think that this war is an internal fight among our Yuan clan. Many people even have opinions against us.
They think that we have extended the internal strife to the entire world, affecting the stability of the Han Dynasty, and that we are the biggest rebellious officials of the Han Dynasty."
It’s not wrong to have this idea. Dong Zhuo is too deeply involved with the Yuan clan. He became a high-ranking official worth 2,000 shi because of Yuan Wei’s promotion. Although he later defected to the eunuch party, Dong Zhuo became the sharp knife that killed the eunuch party.
, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang under Yuan Shao's order, which had to make everyone suspect that Dong Zhuo was a pawn planted by Yuan Wei in the eunuch party. Not to mention that Dong Zhuo personally helped Yuan Wei and solved the two problems of the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother He.
There is a big hidden danger. Yuan Wei now says that Dong Zhuo is not his. Some people have to believe this!
Yuan Wei was silent for a long time. This situation was obviously beyond his imagination. Now this war has become a war between him, the Yuan family, and Dong Zhuo, because those who raised an army to attack Dong were either his disciples and former officials of the Yuan family, or their relatives and friends.
My friend, Yuan Wei knew that although the Yuan clan was the number one clan in the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for him to master Dong Zhuo's opponents in both the northern and southern armies.
If he could not mobilize the power of other noble families in the Han Dynasty, the Yuan family might be defeated for the first time. The world is still the world of the Han Dynasty. Although in Xu Wei's view, the Han Dynasty is already in troubled times, the impression in people's minds is difficult to
It was time to come over at once. For most of the noble families, the Han Dynasty could still suppress the world. No one dared to take the risk of becoming a traitor to the Han Dynasty and send troops to threaten Luoyang. They did not want Yuan Feng to take the blame!
Although Yuan Feng relied on his outstanding political struggle methods to eliminate the eunuchs and relatives, and even used Dong Zhuo as a black glove to depose the young emperor and kill the Queen Mother He. Although this method and strategy made the world's nobles admire them, they still had no regard for them.
Yuan Wei was also extremely worried, fearing that he would be exploited by Yuan Wei and not be able to advance!
Moreover, the noble families do not live in harmony with each other. Now there are many noble families who want to bring Yuan family down! Many of Yuan Wei's old friends are really watching him and Yuan family struggling to survive. If there is a chance, they even want to
To add insult to injury, just bury Taiyuan valve directly.
After thinking for a long time, Yuan Wei said solemnly: "Dong Zhuo's guilt is not enough. Although Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor and killed the queen mother, when others saw it, this was just something I took over from Dong Zhuo. Even these things were
Rest in peace with my Yuan family. If we want to improve our predicament, we must let the people of the world see Dong Zhuo's true face clearly, and let Dong Zhuo's actions arouse the anger of the people of the world. We must find a way to reveal Dong Zhuo's true nature.
People in the world will understand that if Dong Zhuo is not eliminated, the world will be uneasy!"
"Boqiu, Dong Zhuo has a cruel temper. The imperial censor disturbed Long Zongjin when he met Dong Zhuo to report the matter. He did not take off his sword and was immediately beaten to death. During the Luoyang coup, Dong Zhuo let his soldiers rush into their inner house and robbed them.
They even raped and abducted women without shying away from the authority of the emperor. As a result, the whole city of Luoyang was in fear and was in danger.
We must also let everyone know about Dong Zhuo's night stay in the palace, and find ways to publicize the incident of cholera in Luoyang City by the Xiliang Army, as long as everyone knows about the evil things Dong Zhuo has done.
He Yong nodded and said: "Don't worry, Master, in less than 10 days, Dong Zhuo's evil deeds will surely spread throughout the Han Dynasty!"
These powerful nobles control the entire public opinion circle of the Han Dynasty, so it is easy to spread this news!
He Yong thought for a while and said: "Isn't this enough to make the world angry?"
There is no way, I can only say that the former powerful ministers of the Han Dynasty pushed everyone's bottom line to the bottom. When Liang Ji became a general, it was not a big deal to stay in the palace at night. He was extremely poor and extravagant, plundered people as slaves, and slandered loyal people. He
He even poisoned Emperor Zhi to death. Compared with what Liang Ji did, Dong Zhuo's actions were nothing.
Yuan Wei thought for a while and said: "Find a way to let Dong Zhuo kill the young emperor, so that no one in the world can tolerate Dong Zhuo, a warrior."
In the first year of Chuping (AD 190!) Taiyuan County!
As soon as Xu Wei came back, he held a high-level meeting of the entire Tengjia Army!
Wang Ge, who was presiding over the meeting, couldn't help but smile and said: "Shuai Qu is really clever and clever. He brought Dong Zhuo to Luoyang City to cholera the Han Dynasty. Now the noble families in the world can no longer tolerate Dong Zhuo continuing to control the political power of the Han Dynasty. Since Hangu Pass,
All the states and counties in the east raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and they elected Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, as the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shao also called himself General of Chariots and Cavalry, and all the generals were temporarily granted official titles. Yuan Shao must have considered himself the prime minister of a big man!"
The senior officials of the Tengjia Army all laughed and said: "Dong Zhuo has become the Prime Minister. How can Yuan Shao go against Dong Zhuo if he doesn't become the Prime Minister!"
Wang Ge continued: "Now Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, are stationed in Hanoi, and Mu Han of Jizhou is staying in Yecheng to help supply the coalition forces to attack the princes. It is said that the 10 million shi of food that Huangfu Song saved in Yecheng has been used by Han.
Fu has taken away half of them, and Han Fu has also taken away 10,000 of the troops stationed in Yecheng!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baiqi and the others laughed loudly. After Huangfu Song came to Jizhou, he became aggressive towards their Tengjia Army. He either built forts or trained soldiers, cultivated land, and accumulated food and grass. Everyone could tell that Huangfu Song
This is going to be a battle with their Tengjia Army. Now that Yuan Shao and the others have done this, half a year of preparation work has been wasted. And depending on Han Fu's intentions, if he continues to fight Dong Zhuo, he will have all the trouble this year.
Maybe it was all in vain!
Wang Ge continued: "Now those who are raising troops include the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Yi, who is stationed at Yingchuan, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Chenliu County, Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's younger brother, the governor of Guangling County, Zhang Chao, the governor of Dongjun, Qiao Mao, and the governor of Shanyang County, Yuan Yi.
, Jibei State Prime Minister Bao Xin and Cao Cao both garrisoned Jujube, and later general Yuan Shu garrisoned Luyang. There were tens of thousands of troops and horses in each route, and their combined army numbered 1340000. They supported Yuan Shao and prepared to defeat the troops who occupied Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo!"
Zhang Baiqi said excitedly: "Commander Qu, this is a God-given opportunity. Now the entire Han Dynasty is killing each other. They have no energy to deal with us. As long as we defeat Huangfu Song in Jizhou, the entire north of the Han Dynasty will be ours."
It’s in the bag!”
Xu Wei was in a good mood. He had been waiting for several years just to wait for this opportunity. However, he still said: "The longer the situation drags on, the better it is for us. Everyone must be patient. Now is not the time for us to take the lead. Wait for Yuan Shao
The best time for us to take action is when they are fighting Dong Zhuo fiercely!"
"And the 100,000-strong army in Huangfu Song's hands is not that easy to deal with. It's best to let Dong Zhuo help us deal with this army. Even if Dong Zhuo can't, it wouldn't be bad if Yuan Shao can dismember the army in Huangfu Song's hands!"
Zhang Baiqi said happily: "Commander Qu's words are reasonable. No matter for Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao, the 100,000 troops in Huangfu Song's hands are always the decisive force. They will try their best to win over Huangfu Song. If they can't win over, they will definitely
It will dismantle Huangfu Song’s army!”
"Since Yuan Shao raised his army, the Han Dynasty has been dismembered by Yuan Shao and the others. Now we are no longer facing a complete Han Dynasty, but small princes. Even if Huangfu Song can maintain such a large army, he
With the strength of half Jizhou, there is no way it can be our opponent."
Wang Yong said: "Now that we can't go out to fight, are we going to see them fighting like this?"
Xu Wei said with a smile: "Of course it's not just this, Dong Zhuo, we also have to find ways to help Dong Zhuo. After all, Dong Zhuo is facing the power of the entire Guandong noble family. Even though Dong Zhuo still has hundreds of thousands of elites in his hands, but with just
It is impossible for a city of Luoyang to support hundreds of thousands of troops! At this time, we must support Dong Zhuo and let him help us eliminate the powerful nobles in the Han Dynasty. If he can kill all the powerful nobles in the Han Dynasty, we will be better off.
Implement our system locally!”
