Chapter 510 Yuan Shao Yuan Shu, Gaoliang disciple Er
This appeal against thieves caused quite a stir in Chenliu County. Many people were discussing it, so Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who were rushing over, also knew about it.
But those who can start discussions are not fools.
Before the announcement of Yuan Shu's "Remonstrance against Thieves", the Luoyang court had already issued an edict in the name of the new emperor Liu Xie, announcing the news of the rebellion between the Yuan family and the He family in the world, requiring local officials to arrest Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu immediately once they discovered them.
Bring him to justice, or capture him.
However, the situation at that time was that the world had many doubts about the Luoyang coup. The local governor who received the imperial notice was very shocked and could not believe the fact that the Yuan family and the He family had rebelled, so many people were sent to Luoyang to inquire about the news.
After all, it was the general and the current Situ who actually joined forces to rebel. This thing was too shocking.
Counties that are relatively close to Luoyang basically need about a month to find out the information, while places far away from Luoyang need two to three months or even four to five months to find out the information and respond.
Therefore, after the Luoyang court announcement was issued, local rumors were flying all over the place, conspiracy theories were overwhelming, and the public opinion field of the Han Empire was in chaos, and everything was possible.
Some people say that Liu Xie is a false emperor.
Some people say that there is no problem with Liu Xie's status.
Some people say that Liu Hong was manipulated before his death.
Some people say that Yuan was greedy and wanted to usurp the throne.
Some people even said that Liu Bei planned to usurp the throne.
Liu Bei had expected this situation.
He knew that after the disaster of the party and the crisis in Hedong, the Luoyang court's influence on local public opinion was very worrying. He did not expect these local governors to do anything good before the Luoyang court showed its muscles, so he repeatedly issued national proclamations.
It's just a gesture.
If they could take the initiative to pick off the heads of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and send them to Luoyang before Liu Bei took action, then Liu Bei would really wonder if this was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Because the imperial proclamation failed to pose an actual threat to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had the opportunity to counterattack and came up with this petition to repel Liu Bei and the Luoyang court.
Regardless of other places, the situation in Chenliu County, which is very close to Luoyang, is different.
The people of Chenliu County had also heard about the legitimate announcement of the Luoyang Court, the death of the late emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the news that the Luoyang Court announced that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were rebels, so they already had some thoughts in advance.
Now that Yuan Shu's completely different statement comes, of course they will be suspicious, but they will also be able to think about it.
The prelude to this incident had already set off a big wave in the world at that time, so Yuan Shu described Yuan Wei and He Jin as loyal and good ministers in his appeal. Everyone felt that this was a bit too exaggerated.
People in other places didn't know about He Jin and Yuan Wei's large-scale recruitment of troops to Luoyang to challenge Liu Hong in the ring. How could they, the people in Chenliu County, not know about it?
He Jin even sent people to Chenliu County to recruit troops and horses.
The locals all remember clearly how many times Chenliu County gave He Jin a hard time. The Chenliu County soldiers who came back from Luoyang scolded He Jin, so few locals in Chenliu County thought He Jin was a positive person.
role.
Now Yuan Shu wants to whitewash Yuan Wei and He Jin with empty words, and describe Liu, who is famous all over the world, as a conspiracy villain. The people of Chenliu County will not recognize them no matter what.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong made inquiries in many places in the local area, and coupled with some news that spread to Xuzhou at that time, they also came to some conclusions, and then held some discussions.
"There should be no problem with today's emperor's throne, Zibu, what do you think?"
Zhang Hong looked at Zhang Zhao.
"If there is a problem, the Luoyang court officials will not admit it easily. Moreover, with the Empress Dowager taking the lead and the late emperor's edict as evidence, there should be no problem."
Zhang Zhao said in a low voice: "Besides, there was a rumor in the world that the emperor wanted to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. For this reason, he confronted He Jin and Yuan Wei, and fought in Luoyang. It is true when I think about it. In this way, it is not a shame to ascend the throne now.
It’s possible, but it’s a matter of course.”
Zhang Hong nodded slowly and asked again: "What about Yuan's message?"
"The Yuan family failed in their rebellion and suffered heavy losses in Luoyang. All the family heads are dead, and the court wants to punish the three of them. It would be strange if the Yuan family just gave up resistance."
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "It seems that during the war in Luoyang, Yuan Shu escaped and did not die, so now he has returned to the Runan tribe. In order to survive, he must raise an army, and the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, his disciples and former officials
All over the world, although those in Luoyang have been eradicated, there are still many in the world.
Yuan Shu raised his arms and shouted. I am afraid that many people will respond and prepare their troops. I estimate that by then, there will definitely be a war. The current emperor's position and Liu's position as general will not be so simple.
Recognize that this battle is inevitable."
"Then we still want to go to Luoyang?"
Zhang Hong squinted his eyes and said: "If we go to Luoyang now, I'm afraid there will be risks. Zibu, we set out to Luoyang to save the family, but if we can't even save ourselves, how can we save the family?"
Zhang Zhao looked at Zhang Hong.
"Zigang, do you regret it?"
"I've come this far, how can I regret it?"
Zhang Hong smiled bitterly and said: "I just didn't expect that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao could still be alive and escape. There are many former officials of the Yuan family who hold positions in the world. If the Yuan family rebels, their lives will be in danger. For
If you want to survive, I'm afraid I will follow these two people and raise an army, otherwise there will be another war."
"That's what I think too."
Zhang Zhao also showed a bitter smile: "We are forced to have no choice. There are wolves in front and tigers in the back. There is only one way to survive, and it is still a bit dangerous. However, Liu has always been good at using troops and has the reputation of being the first general of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao,
He's just a disciple of Gaoliang, but he shouldn't be Liu's opponent in the military, what do you think?"
"That's it."
Zhang Hong smiled bitterly and said: "Although I don't know how many people in the world still have evil intentions, but the matter has come to this, we can only hope that Liu will win a complete victory."
So the two decided to advance to Luoyang regardless of all costs, and tried their best to help Liu Bei win the final victory and become a winner. In this way, there would be no problems.
Liu Ye, a native of Chengde in Huainan, also felt the embarrassment of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.
As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, his living conditions were relatively affluent since he was a child, and his learning resources were relatively good, so he was very knowledgeable and now he is somewhat famous in the local area.
However, he felt that this was not enough to get him a summons from the hussar general Liu Bei.
On the contrary, this incident made his father Liu Pu and brother Liu Huan very happy. They thought that Liu Ye's fame could be known by people like Liu Bei, which was a major victory for the family.
The three fathers and sons discussed whether to go to Luoyang. Both father and elder brother agreed, thinking that this was a great opportunity for their clan to return to the center of Luoyang, and that this was a major benefit given to them by Liu Bei.
"Hussars General Liu is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. The reason why you are summoning Qin now must be because you are also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Why don't you go to Luoyang? Going to Luoyang to make contributions and make a glorious family name will make our ancestors feel happy.
Things, why don’t you do it?”
Liu Pu thought so. He felt that Liu Ye was twenty years old and an adult, so he should go out and make a fortune.
Anyway, he has two sons. It is natural that the eldest son stays at home and takes care of the family business, while the younger son goes out to pursue his career.
However, while Liu Huan was happy, he was also worried about Liu Ye's safety.
"Luoyang is not stable at this time. I heard that Yuan Wei and He Jin are at odds with the emperor. There are soldiers gathering in Luoyang. It seems that something big is about to happen. Is it dangerous for Ye to go to Luoyang at this moment?"
Liu Pu shook his head.
"As long as the emperor is still there, Luoyang will not be in chaos. At this moment, it is the time when Liu Qiaoqi is thirsty for talents. If he does not seize this opportunity, who knows when the next opportunity will be?
Although we are descendants of the Han clan, our ancestors no longer had a high status several generations ago. Now, under the blessing of our ancestors, we are only a middle-class family in the local area. It is not difficult to become an official in the local area, but if we want to go further, we must
It’s getting even more difficult.”
What Liu Pu said is actually true.
Both Liu Huan and Liu Ye knew that with their family backgrounds, it was not difficult to become local officials, but if they wanted to go a step further and step onto a larger stage, they were a little lacking, and the family's support was not enough.
There are not even a thousand but eight hundred Han clan clans like theirs in the world. Why can good things happen to them?
There is a huge opportunity in front of you now. If you don't seize it vigorously, you will regret it.
Liu Ye was young and energetic, and after much deliberation, he decided to follow his father Liu Pu's wishes, bid farewell to his family, and set off for Luoyang to build a future of his own.
In early May, in response to the imperial proclamation promulgated by the Luoyang court, Yuan Shu launched a targeted campaign of rebellion in Runan and issued a campaign of rebellion to all states and counties in the Central Plains in an attempt to set off a wave of rebellion.
At that time, Liu Ye had just arrived in Chen State and rested for a while, then he learned the news.
To be precise, Liu Ye learned two pieces of news at the same time, including the Luoyang Incident and Yuan Shu's rebellion. These two pieces of news impacted Liu Ye's brain at the same time, causing him to fall into a certain degree of entanglement.
But this matter is indeed a big deal. From two perspectives, no one is clean, and everyone can say that the other is rebellious. But the problem is that one is already on the emperor's side and holds the right to justice, and the other is escaping.
The defeated dog of Luoyang.
Who represents the truth?
After thinking about it, Liu Ye felt that this was not important. What was important was - who represented victory?
After thinking about Liu Bei's previous victories and his achievements, Liu Ye instinctively believed that Liu Bei would win the final victory in this round of disputes. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two noble disciples, could not affect the overall situation.
.
So Liu Ye decided to leave Chen State and set off for Luoyang.
