Now in Luoyang City, the most powerful people among the ministers are the two He brothers. Guanqiu Yi belongs to the line of General He Jin, and Qianzhao is a disciple of Shi Leyin, the chief of the Chariot and Cavalry General. He personally recommended Liu Bei. How could Qiu Yi refuse? What's more, he had already heard of Liu Bei's reputation as a brave warrior, so taking him to Yangzhou would be a guarantee. No wonder, although Guan Qiu Yi's hometown, Anping State, does not border Zhuo County, it is only a hundred miles away. In fact, it is north of the Yellow River. People in Jizhou and Youzhou who pay a little attention to the world generally know that there is a person like Liu Bei. In troubled times, as long as you are ruthless enough and dare to fight tough battles and die in battles, it is difficult to become famous.
Guanqiu Yi took dozens of riders, together with more than thirty Liu Bei men, and headed east...
That night, north of Luoyang, Hanoi.
Due to the harassment by Zhang Yan in Heishan, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou at the beginning of the year, changed his position to Captain Wumeng and stationed 5,000 infantry and cavalry in Hanoi. After receiving letters from General He Jin and Yuan Shao, he immediately led his troops south and entered Mengjin Ferry.
In the dark night, the muscular Lu Bu stood up with his halberd in hand, his eyes like lightning, looking directly at Ding Yuan and saying: "Captain, we..."
Ding Yuan looked grim and shouted: "Burn, burn it all."
"No." Lu Bu turned around and waved his hand. Countless black-armored guards moved with a roar, throwing the torches covered in grease at the ferry fence, wooden walls, and ships. Because the construction had been poured with oil in advance, it could be said that they were all covered with oil. , not long after, the fire burst into the sky, the capital was clearly visible, the whole city was in terror, and all the attendants were panic-stricken.
Yuan Shao's plan was proceeding in an orderly manner. A few days later, Dong Zhuo, who was in Hedong, received an order from the general and convened a meeting of the generals immediately. Present were dozens of people including former general staff, retainer Li Ru, nephew Dong Yue, Son-in-law Niu Fu, generals Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc. Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, is now in charge of the Xiyuan Army because the late emperor Liu Hong established the Xiyuan Army last year and sent troops to Beijing. He was assigned the position of Lieutenant Commander of Che.
In such a serious occasion as a meeting, everyone sat on chairs instead of kneeling. Firstly, it showed that the generals were inferior to the frontiers, accustomed to barbaric customs, and lacked etiquette. Secondly, the commander Dong Zhuo did not care. Gai Junbu was also out of coldness. Prefecture, but because the general Gai Jun had a rich family background, respected etiquette, and had lived in Kyoto for several years, many of his subordinates had Qiang and Hu people, but they were not the same as those of Dong Zhuo.
"The general's intention is to order the general to lead three thousand troops, but the tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital still dare not take any action. Damn it, what can we do with three thousand people? We can just move the general's camp directly to the capital." It's Guo Si again. He was the first to shout. Everyone knew that Guo Bang was a sarcastic person and had no scruples in his words. Dong Zhuo had some words that Dong Zhuo couldn't speak, so they used his mouth to say them.
Li Ru said: "No. Huangfu Song has always been at odds with the general. He has 30,000 to 40,000 elite men under his command, but he has tolerated it until now. Why? The teacher is unknown. If the general leads the masses to the east, he will be afraid of where to go. He is afraid and calls Song. Two When tigers fight, who will be safe?"
Guo Bang cursed and said: "Huangfu Song is nothing."
Li Ru frowned subconsciously, disgusted with Guo Bang's vulgarity, and sneered: "How about adding Gai Ying?"
Guo Si suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. Among the three famous generals of the Han Dynasty today, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, and Gai Jun, who in the world would dare to stand alone against the other two? That would be like lighting a lantern in a manhole - courting death. The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense. Suppress it.
Dong Zhuo asked: "What does Wenyou mean?"
Li Rudao: "May I ask the general, what is your intention in entering Beijing this time?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at Dong Zhuo intently.
Dong Zhuo looked around the hall. Everyone here was a confidant and there was no need to hide anything. He said: "Twenty-one years ago, Zhang Ranming defeated the Qiang and Hu. I went to the capital with Zhang Ranming to receive the reward. This coincided with the great changes in Luoyang. The eunuchs took advantage of Zhang Ranming.
When he first arrived in the capital, he did not know the details. He ordered him to lead the border troops to surround the general's mansion. Dou Wu committed suicide in despair. Zhang Ranming knew that he had done something wrong, but he did not want to counterattack the eunuchs, so he was captured. Over the years, the eunuchs have corrupted the government, killed loyal people, and caused chaos.
The servants of the world often think at night, if Zhang Ranming had strangled all the eunuchs to establish his authority in the world, and then took the power of A Heng and acted arbitrarily, would our country, the Han Dynasty, have been able to avoid today's decline?"
A flash of light flashed across Li Ru's eyes. A Heng's Quan, A Heng, also known as Bao Heng, was originally an official who protected and educated young people. Later, it generally referred to a person who assisted the king. Dong Zhuo obviously had the intention of kidnapping the little emperor here. He was arbitrary and arbitrary.
It is even more obvious that he acted arbitrarily according to his original intention. In the final analysis, Dong Zhuo wanted to be a powerful minister.
Li Ru's breathing became faster and he said: "In this case, five thousand soldiers are enough."
"Five thousand?"
Li Ru nodded and said: "Yes. This number is not too much or too little. It can not only reduce the hostility of the capital towards the general, but also have enough power to affect the overall situation."
"Okay, just five thousand." Dong Zhuo clasped his hands and said. "Before leaving the army, Wen You wrote a document for me to attack traitors and eunuchs."
"promise."
Dong Zhuo selected 5,000 elite infantry and cavalry from more than 20,000 soldiers. Before setting off, he sent a letter to Chang Rang and others in the cloud to steal His Majesty's favor and disturb the world. When I heard that the soup was boiling to stop it, it was better than pulling the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. Although it hurts, it is better than the boil.
Internal invasion of the internal organs. In the past, Zhao Shang sent troops to Jinyang to drive away the evildoers on the emperor's side. Today, I am ringing the bells and drums to Luoyang, asking Zhang Rang and others to clean up the treachery and filth. The whole article quotes scriptures, the wording is exquisite, and it is extremely gorgeous...
When Yin Gaixun of the capital Zhao saw Dong Zhuo marching towards the capital, he tried to attack the general of the left, Huangfu Song, but Huangfu Song did not respond.
Ding Yuan, the commander of Wu Meng, burned the Mengjin Ferry, and the soldiers and horses were fierce and watching. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, led his troops to Yin, Henan, and camped in Chenggao, which was only more than 300 miles away from Luoyang and could be reached in two days. Today Dong Zhuo
The generals crossed the Yellow River south, entered Hongnong, and quickly headed eastward along the ancient Xiaohan Road...
Faced with such a dangerous situation, the Empress Dowager He still refused to kill the eunuchs. The Chariot and Cavalry General He Miao also persuaded He Jin. He said that we came from Nanyang together and were born poor. It was only because of Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang and others that we became what we are today.
Wealth and honor are important national affairs, and it is difficult to recover from them. It is better to give more consideration to them. In my opinion, we should temporarily make peace with the Zhongguan.
He Jin hesitated, not because of his brother's words, but because Dong Zhuo's marching speed was too fast. He had already reached Mianchi and was about to enter Henan Yin in a blink of an eye. Moreover, it was said that he led five thousand soldiers. What did he want to do?
After discussing with Yuan Shao, they sent a remonstrance to the official Zhong Shao and issued an edict to stop it. Zhong Shao was the grandson of Zhong Hao. Zhong Hao served as the governor of Liangzhou and wrote a famous book on Xijiang.
When Dong Zhuo heard that he was cheating, he suspected that there was something wrong with the capital. He didn't even see him, so he directly asked the soldiers to capture him, quickly crossed Hangu Pass, and drove directly to the west of Luoyang City, two hundred miles away. However, the area around the capital was very peaceful, unlike
It looked like something big had happened, so Zhong Shao was summoned. Zhong Shao was furious. Henan's castes had given local surnames since the pre-Qin period. He had never been treated like this before. He pointed an edict at Dong Zhuo's nose and cursed him.
Dong Zhuo didn't understand the situation in the capital, so he didn't dare to advance rashly. He immediately gave Zhong Shao a favor, apologized to him, and retreated hundreds of miles. Zhong Shao didn't appreciate it, said "poof", and returned to Luoyang with the imperial edict.
Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with He Jin for neglecting him and making his own decisions. While ordering Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao to submit their respective letters, Yuan Shao threatened He Jin and said: "Now the conflict has become a reality, the situation has been exposed, and things have changed over time. Could it be that the general wants to follow Dou Wu's example?"
?”
He Jin was afraid and appointed Yuan Shao as the Commander-in-Chief of Sili. As mentioned earlier, the official position of Commander-in-Chief of Sili is not great, but it is the most powerful position in the world. When Yang Qiu was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Sili, he killed the biggest culprit among the Party members, Zhong Chang.
Shi Wangfu, Chun Yudeng, Yuan She, etc., and Taiwei Duan Jiong were not spared. In the end, they fought with the two major forces of the clan and eunuchs at the same time, and were defeated. Wang Yun was also appointed as Henan Yin. Wang Yun was an eunuch.
He had been on the run for several years and had a bloody feud with an eunuch. After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he went to Beijing to attend the funeral. He Jin took the opportunity to recruit him. Wang Yun then joined the general and conspired with Yuan Shao to kill the eunuch. Originally, He Jin also invited Cai Yong to come out, but Cai Yong
He could not clearly see the situation in Beijing and was unwilling to take risks easily.
The memorials of Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao soon reached the hands of Empress Dowager He. Different from the past, the tone of the three of them was extremely harsh this time. If they disagreed with their request, they would kill their troops and kill them. Empress Dowager He finally felt frightened and dismissed them.
Among the regular attendants and the small Huangmen, only He Jin's close confidants were left to guard the palace. After several months of games, the palace was completely under He Jin's control. At this point, He Jin breathed a sigh of relief. This was the result he most wanted to see.
If Yuan Shao only wanted to kill the eunuchs, he could stop now. The eunuchs would have no ability to resist when they return to their hometowns and face the state machine. It's not just that he can kill whoever he wants. The problem is that Yuan Shao's purpose is not just to kill the eunuchs. What else can he do?
Jin, Brother He Miao also wants to kill...
Yuan Shao took advantage of the fact that the eunuchs had not yet left the capital, and in the name of Sili Xiaowei and general, Yuan Shao quickly issued an official document to the prefectures and counties all over the world, asking the local authorities to arrest the relatives of the middle officials.
This arrest frightened the eunuchs into silence. They did not dare to leave the capital at this time, so they quickly spent all their wealth and begged Wuyang Lord. The chariot general He Miao, Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law, and the Queen Mother He's sister also took advantage of it.
The Empress Dowager He was a woman with a strong desire for power. During the few days after Zhu Changshi and Xiao Huangmen left, they were all He Jin's people. She really felt the feeling of losing power, so she changed her mind and asked Zhu Changshi to return.
Recalled to the palace.
Such a result made He Jin furious, while Yuan Shao left a faint smile...
Xihe, Meiji, and the uncanny Yellow River Grand Canyon. Here the Yellow River changes its majestic appearance and becomes winding, clear and soothing. Thousands of cliffs on both sides of the bank, high gorges and flat lakes are like a picture scroll. Suddenly, the sound of the piano and flute is faintly heard.
It spreads out and adds vitality to this quiet and peaceful beautiful picture...
If you are from Beijing, you will definitely recognize that this piece is the so-called divine song "Goose Falling on the Sand". It is said that this piece was taught by someone else when Gai Ying was young. Cai Bojie, the great master of the Qin Dynasty, poured out all the music in exchange for it, and it became a good talk for a while.
.
Amidst the gentle and beautiful music, a light boat sailed out. In the boat, a man and a woman were sitting and standing. The man was seven feet and seven inches tall, with a handsome appearance and outstanding grace. The woman was seven feet and one inch tall, with a picturesque face, dignified and elegant. The two of them were
Playing the piano and flute, enjoying the music, they are as ethereal as a couple of gods and immortals. There is also a female dancer in a wide-banded robe, with a complexion as jade, graceful and graceful, especially the tail of her bright eyes, which always has a thrilling charm. She stands at the bow of the boat, following
The music dances like a butterfly...
The song was repeated three times before it ended, and the three of them thought about it for a long time.
Gai Jun casually played the strings, making a tinkling tinkling sound. He smiled and said to Cai Wan, "Wan'er is unparalleled in flute skills. I am almost no longer worthy of my husband cooperating with you."
"Gai Lang's piano skills are superb, there is no need to belittle oneself." Cai Wan said. She did not wear her hair in a ponytail or high bun today, but let her hair fall down. Her hair was more than four feet long, and she looked very handsome.
It's love.
Bian Wei wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief and echoed: "My husband's piano skills are rare in this world."
Gai Jun clasped his hands and smiled: "That's right, I am still very confident in my piano skills. It's just that the Wan'er qin and flute are the best in the world, and it's hard to find a close friend——"
Cai Wan said: "Gai Lang is my close friend."
"Wan'er's words really make me happy, I'm afraid I won't sleep for three days." After saying this, Gai Jun stood up and moved a heavy chessboard of torre wood with intricate tree patterns. The chess pieces stacked in two boxes on the chessboard were very similar to those of today's wooden chessboard.
The chess piece is completely different from the square and aesthetically pleasing piece. It seems to be forged from agate or amber, and is round and smooth, making it hard to put it down.
Gai Jun brought the chess board, but sat aside to watch the two wives play. His chess skills were ugly and had not improved much over the years. On the other hand, Bian Wei, although a junior student, surpassed Gai Jun in less than a year.
Cai Wan can be regarded as a match in chess.
Gai Jun wasn't just watching chess, he was just watching people. Whenever his two lovely wives frowned and thought, he would stare intently and make a growl in his throat. Sometimes he couldn't help it anymore and would move. The two girls often couldn't.
Concentrate and hit him frequently in anger, but he still enjoys it.
Unconsciously, the sun was setting. The boat turned around and headed back. On the way, a red horse boat came quickly. The two boats approached. Bian Bing jumped on the boat and said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, there is news from the east of the river. Dong Zhuo
Take five thousand elite troops to Beijing."
"I know." Gai Jun's face remained as usual and he said silently in his heart, "Dong Zhuo, have you finally entered Beijing?"
Cai Wan glanced at Gai Jun, sighed softly, and turned his attention back to the chessboard.
Gai Jun noticed his wife's thoughts, took her hand and held it between his palms, saying, "Don't worry, you will go south with me."
"Why is this?" Cai Wan was slightly surprised.
Gai Jun looked at the miraculous Yellow River Grand Canyon in the distance and said with emotion: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to Meiji in the near future."
"..."
After arriving at the shore, Gai Jun separated from his second wife and strode towards the official residence of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General. At the beginning of the year in Xihe, bandits were rampant in Shangjun. Cui Jun and Liu Min, the two prefects, jointly invited Gai Jun to go south to hang the thieves, but Gai Jun did not move.
?The time is not right. Now, the time has come...
This year, Gai Jun has been training troops and hoarding food, grass and equipment. There is no need to prepare, and he immediately decides on the capture of the captive captain Guan Yu, and the execution of the captive captain Huang Zhong. Among the commanders are Bian Bing, Bao Chu, Yang Shou, Liu Tiao and Che'er.
, Zhenliang, I and others. Gai Yin, the commander of the bandits, the commander of the cavalry, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, the captain of the bandits, and Hu Feng, the Sima, stayed behind to guard Meiji.
Gai Yin is the first person under Gai Jun, so it is appropriate to leave him in Meiji to take charge of the overall situation. Pang De recently got married, and Gai Jun did not take him with him, so leaving Zhang Xiu and Hu Feng behind is worth pondering.
Already.
Zhang Xiu was taciturn, but Hu Feng was a man who couldn't hold back his troubles. He approached Gai Jun that night and spoke fiercely. He even pulled out a knife and pressed the tip of it against his chest. If Gai Jun didn't take it with him, blood would be splattered on the spot.
Posture.
"What are you doing?" Gai Jun yelled at Hu Feng and snatched the knife away.
Hu Feng twenty-three-four said with tears streaming down his face: "Zhonglang, I have followed you since I was eighteen years old. Don't you still trust me?"
Gai Jun threw the knife to the ground and sighed: "Ziyi, what are you talking about? Your uncle Li Xiaowei is General Dong's favorite general. If there is a conflict between me and General Dong, I'm afraid you will be caught in the middle."
Difficult to do.”
Hu Feng said excitedly: "Zhonglang, I am Sima under your command, not Dong Zhuo's."
Seeing that he was very determined, Gai Jun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and clean up, then follow me to set off tomorrow."
"Hey" Hu Feng turned from sadness to laughter.
Looking at Hu Feng's walking back, Gai Jun shook his head.
The next day, at the invitation of Cui Jun, the governor of Xihe, and Liu Min, the governor of Shangjun, Gai Jun, the general of the Xiongnu army, rode 12,000 men southward, attracting the attention of everyone in the world...
