Gai Jun suddenly led his troops southward, invaded Zuo Fengyi, surrounded Huangfu Li's tribe in Gaoling, and waited for his father Gai Xun to throw himself into a trap, and quickly led him back to the north. At the same time, he encouraged the officials in the north to drive away Jin Xuan, and elected Gai Xun as the governor of the north. Later. We divided our troops to guard Qiyuan in Shangjun and Lishi in Xihe. We invited Guo Tai's disciples and Wang Xin, a famous scholar in Xihe, to go to Bingzhou.
Gai Jun's series of combination punches were clean and neat, making Dong Zhuo and his staff dizzy and unable to fight back. Only a ghost would believe that Gai Jun had not planned it in advance, but had planned it for a long time.
"Is this worth it? Is it worth it?...Since Emperor Guangwu restored the Han Dynasty, has there ever been such a minister?" Dong Zhuo's face and lungs were about to explode with anger, and he didn't eat for a whole day. He actually forgot that he was the How to resist an order and refuse to fight.
In fact, Dong Zhuo's anger is understandable. Since this year, the local peace and governance are far from being discussed. At least it seems to be a hundred times better than the chaotic Zhongping years. Even the most pessimistic people will not think that Han Zuo is about to end. At this time, Gai Jun's actions were a naked provocation to the great Han Tianwei.
He Yong and others couldn't help being surprised. They didn't expect Gai Jun to have such courage. They were both happy and worried. They were happy that Gai Jun, the younger brother, was strong and would undoubtedly be the main force against Dong Zhuo in the future. What they were worried about was that Gai Jun was unruly. He was untamed, fearing that if he got rid of the wolf Dong Zhuo, he would raise another tiger.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was so angry that he couldn't eat, Master Bo Tianyi advised him: "Why should Mr. Dong be as knowledgeable as a boy?"
Li Ru, the chief staff officer, also said: "This is a small trick, which may be beneficial temporarily, but ultimately it is not as good as the right way. Dong Gong suppressed the capital internally and controlled the world externally. Within a year, one thing declined and the other increased, and he cut off the heads of Gai's father and son. It's as easy as flipping a finger."
Hearing the words of relief from his staff, Dong Zhuo reluctantly ate some minced meat.
At this point, there is no point in worrying about it. Dong Zhuo worked hard to rectify the forces in Guanxi, and the first step was to seize Huangfu Song's military power. He was loyal and upright, so he accomplished it without much effort. Then he promoted Huangfu Song's subordinates who were close to him, such as Duan Su. , Xu Rong, all worshiped Zhonglang General. Duan Xuan was the younger brother of the late Taiwei Duan Ji and Duan Jiming. Dong Zhuo had known him for decades and had a deep friendship. Xu Rong also fought alongside him, as well as Hua Xiong and others. The general was also very comforting.
After successfully recruiting the 30,000 Chang'an border troops, Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately recruited the Baibo Army from Hedong. Over whether to surrender, a fierce conflict broke out between Yang Feng and Guo Daxian. The former was the Heishan Colonel appointed by the imperial court. There was no obstacle to surrender. The latter was from Taiping Road, had a bloody feud with the imperial court, and vowed not to surrender until death.
Neither side was willing to compromise, so a fight broke out. This internal fight ended with Yang Feng killing Guo Daxian and surrendering to Dong Zhuo. However, Guo Daxian had a high reputation among the Bai Bo army, and Yang Feng was seriously injured after this battle.
Liangzhou, Jincheng County.
The Yellow River was surging, rushing, rolling, flowing thousands of miles, with water birds soaring and reeds deep. Han Sui stood silently by the river, his eyes blank. It was obvious that the natural picture in front of him did not attract him at all at this moment.
Yan Zhong, Guo Guo, Li Xiangru, Huang Yan and other famous people in Western Xinjiang were a step behind, and they were also thinking deeply. The recent great changes in the capital shocked them. First, the general He Jin was killed, and then the party members and scholars They slaughtered the eunuchs, and then Dong Zhuo came to Beijing to take charge of the government, and carried out the deposed and established actions, one after another, which was quite dizzying. Moreover, the purpose of their initial army was to kill the eunuchs and help the Han Dynasty. Now the eunuch is a general. He Jin was buried with him, and they suddenly lost their goal.
Everyone is asking themselves, including leader Han Sui, do the Liangzhou Army still need to exist? Especially when Taiwei Dong Zhuo extended an olive branch, the edict was in Han Sui's hand, and the content on it was to conquer Han Sui.
As Yin of Henan, Yan Zhong paid homage to the prefect of Jiuquan, Huang Yan, and was awarded the title of admonishing doctor of the kingdom...
Facing the river, Han Sui raised his hand and stared at the shining golden edict. Suddenly, a pair of eyes seemed to appear on the edict, a pair of crystal clear eyes, which gave him an extremely familiar feeling. Han Sui thought about it and found that they were very similar.
That night before his farewell, the eldest brother Bian Zhang looked at him with extremely mocking eyes...
Han Sui laughed in surprise, his eyes full of self-mockery. He never dared to face his own heart and used high-sounding excuses to cover up the truth. The edict sent by Dong Zhuo was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly opening his chest and making him
Seeing what I have been trying to hide and deny, its name is - ambition
Will Han Sui comply with the edict? Of course not
He turned around and said calmly: "Do you think Dong Zhuo is trustworthy?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Yan Zhong was the first to speak: "I think we might as well give it a try."
Wang Guo said with a smile: "Dong Gong is in the capital, surrounded by celebrities from Dongzhou. He is isolated and helpless. He is looking forward to my arrival."
Li Xiangru shook his head and said: "I'm afraid what Dong Zhuo values more is the tens of thousands of troops in our hands."
Then several more people spoke, with different opinions. Finally they became quiet and looked at Han Sui, waiting for his decision.
Han Sui turned around again, chasing a white water bird with his eyes until it disappeared, and then slowly said: "Dong Zhongying is a rebellious man, known for his ruthlessness. He may be able to fight in battle, but he knows nothing about running a country. Let's stay put for the time being and wait and see.
If Dong Zhongying can really bring the Han Dynasty out of the quagmire, what if he surrenders? If he doesn't have that ability, we will raise an army to attack him."
"..."
Gai Jun led an army of 17,000 troops to the city of Jinyang in Taiyuan County. The Taiyuan prefect entered, and the Yanmen prefect Guo Yao was waiting at the gate. In addition, the accompanying Shangjun prefect Liu Min, Xihe prefect Cui Jun, and four people from the nine counties of Bingzhou arrived.
.
The prefects of Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Shuofang of the four northern counties are on the way, but why didn't the prefect of Shangdang come? Shangdang is in the south of Taiyuan, only a few hundred miles away from Jinyang.
Gai Jun asked about this matter, and Wei Jin, the prefect of Taiyuan, replied: "Your Majesty, Wang Shangdang has been held back by Zhang Yan and Zhang Yang. He cannot come for a while. I hope you will forgive me." The prefect of Shangdang's surname is Wang Zhou, Liang.
He is from Hanyang, Zhouzhou, and is fellow townsman with Gai Jun.
Needless to say, Zhang Yan, Gai Jun knew who he was, but the latter person... asked: "Zhang Yang, which Zhang Yang?"
Wei Jin said: "My envoy has seen that the former Ding governor, Wu Meng, was working for Zhang Yang."
"Did he rebel?" Gai Jun searched his memory and couldn't remember Zhang Yang's history.
Wei Jin nodded and said, "Yes. In the September rebellion, they surrounded Wang Shangdang at Huguan and were unable to defeat them. They turned to plunder other counties. Because Wang Shangdang was concerned about Zhang Yan in the Black Mountains, they had no choice but to stop him. The disaster was very serious."
"Is this enough?" Gai Jun stared. Wait... September is when Dong Zhuo went to the capital to kill Ding Yuan. Could Zhang Yang rebel for this reason...
"I personally went to the party to subdue this beast." Gu Zhe, "Book of Rites? Qu Li" said: The young marquis from far away calls himself Gu. Gai Jun is the Marquis of Meiyang, with thousands of households living in the town, so he has been called according to etiquette.
I have the right to be an orphan, but at that time Gai Jun was either a county governor or a Zhonglang general, and there was still a governor above his head, and he was the general of Du Liao. To be called an orphan would be overestimating one's abilities and making the world laugh. Now he holds the post of prefectural pastor, and he has the power to control the birth of a prefecture.
To kill the great power, it is only then that the title of orphan is truly deserved. After all, the Han Dynasty inherited the legacy of the pre-Qin Dynasty, such as the prefects and state pastors, formed a shogunate, and formed a country of its own. How is it different from the ancient princes? And the officials of the state and county frequently claimed to be their own country.
In this dynasty, the prefects and governors were regarded as kings. How did Zhu Jun, Gongsun Zan and others become famous? They relied on their incomparable loyalty to the prefects and never left them in critical moments, and finally gained the praise of the world.
Guan Yu, the commander of the army against the enemy, said: "Why do you need to go there in person? I will send you a thousand cavalry, and in ten days I will get Zhang Yang's head for you."
Gai Jun shook his head. If it was only Zhang Yang, of course there was no need for him to take action personally. He planned to take care of Zhang Yan along the way. This guy was relying on the alliance. The terrain of the valleys at the junction of the two states of Hebei was complex, and they were looting and unscrupulous. He would not let him go.
If you be honest, you will inevitably be pestered again and again in the future.
He did as he was told, and Gai Jun immediately led seventeen thousand troops southward.
Shangdang, Tongtang.
"Kill, haha, kill..." More than two thousand poorly armed soldiers howled and rushed towards the peaceful small village opposite.
Zhang Yang sat on the horse with a look of helplessness and hesitation. He raised his hand several times to stop it, but put it down all the time. He couldn't figure out why things turned out like this.
In order to deal with the eunuchs, the general He Jin recruited troops to the capital on the one hand, and sent people to recruit troops on the other. Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao were among them. When the two returned to Bingzhou, they quickly recruited more than a thousand people each. Just as they were preparing to return to the capital, Zhang Yan
Suddenly invaded Bingzhou, and the war was raging for a while. Seeing the disaster in his hometown, Zhang Yang did not return to the capital immediately like Zhang Liao, but stayed in Shangdang to fight against the thieves. Soon, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and Yin* Lu Bu rebelled, killed Ding Yuan, and annexed Bingzhou
When news of the army came, Zhang Yang could of course submit to Dong Zhuo like Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. Fame, fortune and wealth would be at his fingertips, and his future would be limitless...
However, Zhang Yang was a person who valued loyalty very much. He could not forget Ding Yuan's kindness and gritted his teeth to avenge his old master. He immediately asked the Shangdang Governor Wang Zhou for troops and food. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhou refused. Zhang Yang became furious and led the way.
The soldiers attacked Wang Zhou at Huguan. Although Zhang Yang was brave, Huguan was a strong pass in the world. In addition, the troops were too small and could not be defeated for a long time. Zhang Yang had no choice but to go to other counties. Originally, his intention was to collect some elite soldiers and food and then go south to attack Dong.
, however, since the plunder, the army has been like a wild horse running wild. Although the number of people has increased sharply, the military discipline has become worse and worse, and it has completely become a rogue bandit.
The noise only lasted for half an hour. A man in his thirties, short in stature, with a leopard head and ringed eyes, led a few soldiers out of the village, came to Zhang Yang, clasped his fists and said, "Sima, the village is ready for move-in."
Zhang Yang nodded, took a few steps on his horse, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Yang, we are a rebel army, and we are a rebel army that wants to defeat the national traitor Dong Zhuo. It is better to restrain our behavior."
Yang Chou was full of disapproval, saying that the army was nothing but an idiot. Dong Zhuo had more than 100,000 soldiers. Only an idiot would want to fight Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Yang knew that his old brother wouldn't listen, so he sighed in his heart.
The mount suddenly hissed, and a look of shock appeared on Zhang Yang's face. The shock became stronger and stronger, sweeping in from all directions in the west. Zhang Yang was a veteran of the border area and had rich battlefield experience, so he immediately concluded that they were surrounded by a large group of cavalry.
