An army of 5,000 soldiers came out of Xiangyi. The soldiers were armed with swords, halberds, bows and crossbows. Very few of them wore iron armor, most of them were leather armor. Although their equipment was not very good, their momentum was not that of the inland county soldiers, but was faintly stronger.
points. This is because there was a military service system in the Han Dynasty. Rich families could escape, but ordinary people could not escape. Many ordinary people had experience in serving as soldiers when they became adults. Most of them served as soldiers locally, and many went to Kyoto or the border areas. Therefore, the recruitment targets
They are people who have served in the military. These people have some foundation. After several months of hard training, they can easily surpass the county soldiers.
Of course, the role of the general cannot be denied. After all, the general is the soul of an army and is of vital importance. This army belongs to Cao Cao. Cao Cao read all the military books when he was a boy. He is known as a knowledgeable soldier in Beijing and participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
With more than 100,000 people fighting in a large-scale battle, he has no shortage of experience, but he is much better than those officials from various counties in the Kanto region who just sit in the hall and brag.
Five thousand people were walking on the road with no end in sight, and they were very impressive. Cao Cao was filled with emotion and pride. Unlike Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers who escaped from the capital without incident, he was extremely unlucky. He was first murdered and then arrested.
Survive from death. As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, it is true. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were in trouble one after another, without the support of the states and counties. He raised the banner with the help of his eldest brother, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.
Recruiting troops and horses, and meeting Xiaolian Weizi from the county who donated his family's wealth to provide funds, and his clan brothers Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan heard the news and came to join them, and finally formed a rebel army.
Cao Cao could not foresee the future. This army, which he regarded as extremely proud, would soon be annihilated, but the foundation stone was not damaged. Among them were Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and even Le Jin, Dian Wei, Shi Huan, etc.
In the future, he would follow him in the southern and northern wars, never abandoning him. He was once defeated, once relied on others, and also swept thousands of armies. In the end, he established a huge empire that was one of the best in the world. Of course, with the variable of Gai Jun,
Everything will be different.
Xiangyi is located in the southeast corner of Chenliu County in Yanzhou, with Ziziphus in the northwest, just a line away from Henan Yin, and Kyoto in sight. The purpose of Guandong Prefecture choosing this place to raise troops for an alliance is self-evident.
Cao Cao arrived at Suanzao. At this time, there were several groups of soldiers and horses. Later, soldiers and horses from all over the country arrived one after another. In addition to Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou who had conspired previously, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, and Bao, the prime minister of Jibei.
According to the letter, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, and Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, also arrived with the governors of Yuzhou counties. Sun Binshuo, the governor of Qingzhou, said that Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, was reorganizing his troops and would come soon. Only Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, among the four states in the Central Plains, had an ambiguous attitude.
, To say that he supports, there has been no response so far. To say that he does not support, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling under the rule, is here. Anyway, he just believes that if he wins, I will have a share of the credit, and if he loses, it has nothing to do with me. He is worthy of being in the officialdom for dozens of years.
Zai is such an old man that no one can tell what he is doing.
In addition, the later general Yuan Shu and the prefect of Hanoi Wang Kuang echoed each other from a distance in the south and north.
As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. Yuan Shao is the leader of the scholars. He single-handedly directs the eunuchs and has been hated by the Snow Party for twenty years. He is also the mastermind of the war against Dong in Guandong. He is expected to be the leader of the alliance. However, what makes people angry is that Jizhou
There was no movement on the other side. Han Fu went against the will and refused to support him. Yuan Shao only raised a few thousand soldiers in the Bohai Sea. He believed that his strength was not enough to convince the crowd and he would have to wait for a while before he could come.
Without the unified command of the alliance leader, all the states and counties could only squat in the jujube sun all day long, wasting a great opportunity.
Henan Yin, Luoyang.
Jujube was only more than 400 miles away from the capital. Dong Zhuo knew about it the day the Guandong prefectures raised troops. At that moment, Dong Zhuo felt that all his thoughts were lost.
The Kwantung Army scolded him for abolishing the establishment without authorization and stealing power, which made people laugh to death.
The deposed emperor was approved by Tai Fu Yuan Wei and all the officials, and he did not act arbitrarily. Even after deposing the emperor, he did not mess around. He took Liu Hong as Sikong on the pretext that there was no rain, and later awarded Liu Yu the title of Sima.
The chief of the three princes, the Taiwei, was finally invited by the prince to ascend to the position of prime minister. It can be said that every step he took was reasonable and legal.
He knew that he was from the border area and had no talents to govern the country under his command. He had to win over the scholars. He first attracted the scholar leader Yuan Shao. However, he hit a snag. He did not take it seriously and did not change his original intention. In the end, he was recognized by the scholars. As a public minister.
The children entered the palace to replace the eunuchs, and the party leaders Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others reversed the case, and promoted their descendants to officials, promoted famous people all over the world, and even served as officials outside the capital...
I followed the scholar's advice, but what was the result? It turned out that everything was an illusion and a scam. The scholar had started planning it as early as the moment he helped the emperor enter the capital.
Unlike in the past when counselors were crowded around, today there are only a few people in the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, including Li Ru and Tian Yi.
Dong Zhuo's face was full of fatigue, as if he was getting older day by day, and then he woke up and realized that he was almost sixty.
Li Ru thought that Dong Zhuo was too pessimistic and said: "Why should the Prime Minister be worried? From Confucian view, although all the people in Guandong are recruits, they are not rivals of the frontier army. They can be defeated in one battle, so there is no need to worry. The Prime Minister should be
Thinking about the west and the north. Han Sui is a famous scholar in the western frontier. He should be able to see the situation clearly. What is the benefit to him if the prime minister is ill? Grant him a high position, and the west will be safe. Yuan Benchu named himself a general of chariots and cavalry, and led the Sili school captain. The prime minister can be named Jun.
"General Hussar..." Among the generals, the general is the highest, followed by the general Hussar, and the general Chariot ranks third. Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, and he calls himself Chariot, but he is second to Gai Jun. This is a stratagem to alienate.
Dong Zhuo perked up after hearing this and said, "Wen You continues..."
Li Ru's eyes were as cold as ice and he said: "The rebels in Guandong have returned to welcome King Chenliu. If there is no such person in the world..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked.
Even Dong Zhuo's bold behavior was frightening...
Compared with the scattered Kwantung Army, Dong Zhuo moved as fast as thunder. At the beginning of the first month of the first year, he received the news of the Kwantung Army. The next day, he paid homage to Han Sui as the General of Zhenxi and led the Wuwei Prefecture. All the following were rewarded. The next day, he paid homage to Bingzhou Mu Gaijun.
He was appointed as a hussar general. He held a general amnesty for ten days, saying that those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered would be exempted from crime. A few days later, Liu Bian, the king of Chenliu, was killed by poison, which stopped the Kwantung Army from thinking about it. At the end of the month, it was proposed to move the capital to Chang'an.
Move the capital...
The capital, which had been dull for a long time, suddenly boiled. Yang Biao, the leader of the Yang Clan, who represented the powerful people in the capital, Huang Wan and Xun Shuang, who represented the party members, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who represented the military, and even the Prime Minister Liu Ai
The clan represented by him, and even Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao and others who were collaborating with Yuan Shao, all expressed their opposition, which can be said to include all the forces in Beijing, big and small.
Dong Zhuo laughed so loudly that he burst into tears. When he proposed to abolish the establishment, in the whole court, only one Lu Zhi opposed it face to face. The others either pretended to be deaf or dumb, or strongly supported it. Now that he wants to move the capital to Chang'an, everyone immediately
Why do you jump out to stop it?
Dong Zhuo finally understood...
Everyone is disgusting and can be killed, killed, or killed
Therefore, Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao were dismissed, and Wu Qiong and Zhou Ao were killed. There was great terror in the capital, and no official dared to say anything.
When the Jujube Allied Forces heard that the emperor had fallen, they were like mourning. The princes of Guandong raised the rebel army under the pretext of killing Dong Zhuo and restoring the emperor's eldest son Liu Bian. Now Liu Bian was killed by Dong Zhuo with a glass of poisonous wine. Even if they killed Dong Zhuo, they would not
What can be done?
The morale of the coalition forces declined rapidly, and all the prefectures and counties knew that if this continued, the coalition forces would collapse without a fight. They could not wait for Yuan Shao's arrival, so they hurriedly set up an altar to swear an alliance. However, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai was the first to refuse, and Yuzhou Governor Kong Ni also chose the host.
If they refused, everyone gave in to each other. This was not because of humility, but because everyone knew that the first shot was to kill the first bird. Finally, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chaogong and Cao Zanghong were chosen to host. Firstly, he had a loud voice, like a bell, and was very powerful. Secondly,
He is friendly with Gai Junxiang, and everyone is trying to use his strength. The third is that he is in a low position, and the most important thing is that he will not arouse the suspicion of the alliance leader Yuan Shao in the future.
Zang Hong then went up to the altar with the help of Pan, and made an alliance with his blood, saying: "The Han Dynasty is unfortunate, the imperial system is lost, and the traitor Dong Zhuo takes advantage of the provocation to cause harm to the Supreme Being. He tortures the people and destroys the country. We, our allies, will work together to protect our country."
Festival, the death of the head and the mourning of the Yuan Dynasty, there must be no two ambitions. If you have this alliance with Chongqing, you will lose your life, and you will not be able to inherit it. The emperor and the empress are in the land, and the ancestors are bright and spiritual. We all learn from it." After saying this, wept and knelt down, even though we were dead.
The support is all passionate, and people are thinking about it. However, although the scene is touching, the oath has no substantive content. The goal is just a general "to fight against the national calamity". It neither talks about eradicating Dong Zhuo nor how to help the Han Dynasty. The ambivalence is evident.
.Dong Zhuo's move to kill Liu Bian completely stunned them.
After Liu Bian was killed, the princes of Guandong turned their fire on Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou. The words in his letters became more and more severe. Han Fu did not dare to defy the enemy again, so he sent a message to the counties in Jizhou and ordered the governors to bring troops to Ye to fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo.
People and horses in the east and west are constantly moving, and Gai Jun is not idle either. He has started making arrangements since the beginning of the new year. He transferred Ma Teng, the captain of the Northern Territory, to be the commander of the Xiongnu Zhonglang. First, Ma Teng has been restless in recent years and has made many small moves.
, picked him up and beat him, secondly, to make his brother-in-law Yang Aruo completely control the military power of Beidi County, and thirdly, to liberate the three generals Gai Yin, Pang De and Zhang Xiu.
At the end of the first month, Gai Jun gathered to shoot tigers, the Luodiao Second Battalion had 3,000 troops, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Yang's troops had 15,000 troops, and Heishan elites had 10,000 troops. Gai Yin, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu led 5,000 troops and horses, plus 5,000 Xiongnu troops.
The cavalry also urgently mobilized 5,000 infantry and cavalry from Xihe Commandery Bian Bing's troops, and more than 40,000 soldiers gathered in Jinyang, aiming directly at Dong Zhuo.
Jia Xu was very puzzled by Gai Jun's actions and advised: "On the outside, Yuan Shao has not yet risen, and on the inside, the wheat is not yet ripe. It is not a good opportunity to go south. Make you think twice..."
Gai Jun sighed. Can he say that Dong Zhuo will burn Luoyang City in the near future and the Eastern Han Dynasty will be destroyed? No matter how smart Jia Xu is, some things will never be as good as him. In the game, a few years can destroy the broken city.
Luoyang City was restored to its original state, but that was just a game after all. How many people would have died along the way if Dong Zhuo drove millions of people from the capital to Chang'an?
Gai Jun believes that since he has the power, he should try to prevent the tragedy from happening.
Gai Jun insisted on going south and joined Hu Feng's 5,000 troops, totaling 48,000 on foot and cavalry.
The army was divided into two at Changzi County, Shangdang Administration Office. Gaiyin was the main force along the way, and 18,000 troops from Pangde, Zhangxiu, and Heishan tribes marched westward to Hedong County. If necessary, Shangjun Bao sent out 10,000 people.
, Xihe Bian Bing's 5,000 men will cooperate with him. Gai Jun, 30,000 people along the way, will lead him southward across the southern foot of Hengshan Mountain and into Hanoi County.
