Seeing the fearful tiger-like soldiers of the Kwantung princes, Dong Dong, fleeing in front of him, defeated like a tide, Sun Jian couldn't help but feel excited. The battle of Liang County made Sun Wentai known to the whole world. What will happen after this battle?...
Can I be on par with Gai Ying?
The Yellow Turbans rose up in the first year of Zhongping. Due to his low background, he had been vacillating between 200 and 400 shi of county magistrate for ten years. Sun Jian, who was entering his 30s, had the opportunity to rise up and was known by ten people. Zhu Jun, a fellow countryman of Zai, recruited his subordinates and was appointed as the assistant commander of the army.
Sun Jian was re-employed, he was dedicated to meritorious service, but he was too eager, and was lured into attack by the Yellow Turban Commander Bo Cai. He was beaten several times, and all his troops were scattered. He hid in the grass and only saved his life. Bo Cai was actually a Yellow Turban wizard. The war in Yuzhou was like Sun Jian's, with big defeats, big defeats, and then big defeats... It wasn't until Huangfu Song entered Yuzhou and divided Bocai's troops that things got better. However, the situation reversed with the arrival of Gai Jun, who broke through Bo Cai defeated Peng Tuo again, defeating the most arrogant Yuzhou Yellow Turban in two battles.
Sun Jian never denied that he was jealous of Gai Jun. He had always been arrogant and believed that his talents were not inferior to Gai Jun's. The only difference was his background. Later, the development of the two people showed two extremes. Gai Jun was promoted to the rank of captain at the end of the year. General Lin Zhonglang was promoted to the governor of the North the next year. Sun Jian also contributed a lot to the Yellow Turban War, and Zhu Jun took care of him, but he could only serve as a commander in a certain department. He served for three years. If it weren't for the military rebellion in Changsha, it would have been three to six years. Don’t even think about rising to two thousand stones.
Just when Sun Jian thought he could meet Gai Jun, the world changed drastically. The latter took advantage of the complicated situation in Beijing to win over Bingzhou Mu, becoming a prince and then a hussar general. The gap between the two became even wider.
But he has never been discouraged and firmly believes that he will catch up one day, and his hard work will pay off...
Is it still attainable today?
Thousands of Jingyu cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry pursued them all the way to the mouth of the Grand Valley, which was more than ten miles away. The valley was crisscrossed with ravines, steep peaks, and dense bushes, which could hide heavy troops. They might be ambushed. Zhang Xun and Wu Jinglue discussed this. , turned around and returned.
That night Sun Jian set up camp outside the valley and rested for three days. When the civilians brought in the siege equipment, he immediately entered the canyon north to the front of Dagu Pass. The officers and soldiers of Dong's army in the pass were frightened. For three days, they were in a state of panic every day. I couldn't sleep all night, and my morale was extremely low, but now that I saw my opponent, I was not as scared as before.
Unlike Sun Jian's expectation of a single battle, it took half a month to attack and cost tens of thousands of people before successfully conquering Dagu Pass. At this point, there was no obstacle to the march to Luoyang, and the capital of the Han Dynasty appeared in front of Sun Jian. At the same time, the Battle of Dagu was officially declared. At the end of the battle, Sun Jian killed 25,000 people, beheaded 18,000 people, and captured 15,000 enemies.
The great victory of recovering the imperial capital was just around the corner. The morale of Jingyu's soldiers was high and their determination to fight was very strong. However, Sun Jian was not dazzled by the victory. At this time, his own army was at the end of its war effort. Dong Zhuo's army had half a month to rest and recuperate, in case the large army defeated Luoyang. Under the city, the consequences were disastrous. So he once again organized his army, made weapons, and accumulated strength, just like the story before the Battle of Dagu.
--------------------------
Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an forcibly in order to avoid the fierce influence of the heroes in Guandong and even cut off the thoughts of scholars with ulterior motives in the court. Chang'an suffered many catastrophes at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty. For more than a hundred years, it still could not return to the situation of the Western Han Dynasty. Although Dong Zhuo ordered people to Although it has been modified, it still cannot conceal the smell of dilapidation it exudes. Except for its large size, no other place is worthy of the honor of being the capital of the Han Empire that ruled the world.
A carriage was slowly driving on the slightly old street, and the driver was watching the surroundings cautiously and cautiously. The owner of the carriage was extremely noble, and he was the most powerful person in the current dynasty except Grand Master Dong Zhuo.
He is about fifty years old, tall and slender, with a simple face. He has three long beards under his chin, which are more than half a foot long. Although he has his eyes closed to relax, he still shows great power. This man is exactly what the great scholar Guo Tai knew, Taiwei Deng.
Sheng Mensheng, former official of Taifu Yuan Wei, and the first famous scholar in Bingzhou, Prince Wang Yun's teacher.
When Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, he worshiped Wang Yun as the servant of the Nine Ministers, and then abided by the Shangshu Ling. As mentioned earlier, the three princes had no power, and the power came from the Shangshu Station, while the Shangshu Ling had the power of the prime minister. When the Kwantung Army broke out, Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital.
, Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao opposed it and were immediately dismissed. Wang Yun took advantage of the situation and became Situ. What is surprising is that Dong Zhuo did not let him step down as Shangshu Ling. You must know that after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, General He Jin and Tai
Fu Yuan Kui had the responsibility of assisting the young emperor, but he only added "recording the affairs of the minister". However, Wang Yun was the disciple and the minister, and his power and position could be said to be the first person since Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's reuse of Wang Yun was not just because the two of them came from the same border region, but because Wang Yun showed his obedience and reported everything to Dong Zhuo, no matter how big or small. Dong Zhuo made the final decision in appointing him.
Dong Zhuo, an obedient and famous person, would naturally put him to good use.
What Wang Yun did was completely different from what he had done before. He was also an old official of Yuan Wei. Yuan Wei's whole family was killed, but he was willing to serve as Dong Zhuo's eagle and dog. Many people openly and secretly scolded him for being ungrateful. Wang Yun heard this and smiled coldly.
, How could Shuzi know my plan?
Last year, shortly after arriving in Chang'an, he planned a plan to raise troops to meet the Guandong prefectures.
Participating in this plan were the late Taiwei Huang Wan, the late Sikong Xunshuang, the Jinwu Shi Sun Rui, the Qiang Protector Colonel Yang Zan, the Minister Zheng Tai, He Yong, Xun You and others. Wang Yun suggested to Dong Zhuo that Luoyang was attacked by the North
To besiege on three sides in the southeast, it would be better to lead the troops led by Sun Rui, the Jinwu soldier, and Yang Zan, the protecting Qiang captain, from Chang'an, through Wuguan, into Nanyang, and attack Yuan Shu's back.
This plan cleverly combined the situation at the time, making it impossible to see any flaws. Dong Zhuo readily agreed. However, just as the soldiers Sun Rui and Yang Zan were getting ready to send troops, Dong Zhuo suddenly withdrew his orders after being reminded by Li Ru, which almost succeeded.
The plan was stillborn...
Wang Yun, who was quietly thinking about his thoughts, suddenly heard a commotion outside the car, and his brows couldn't help but frown. He didn't even have to open his eyes to see. He often passed by this place on holidays, so of course he knew what was going on. This was Cai Yong's mansion.
.
Cai Yong was very trusted by Dong Zhuo and was highly regarded by the court. Every holiday, he would often fill the lanes with cars and rides, and the guests would sit there...
Wang Yun had once served as an official for Tai Fu Hu Guang. Wang Yun was still on good terms with Cai Yong, Hu Guang's most proud disciple. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when he served as the governor of Yuzhou, he seized letters concerning the eunuch's affair with the Yellow Turban thieves.
, was persecuted by the eunuchs, and stayed in Chenliu Caijiazhuang for some time during his escape. However, since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, Wang Yun completely changed his view of Cai Yong. He humiliated Dong Zhuo just to rebel against him, but Cai Yong was different. He was sincere.
Director Cai Yong had no ambitions in his life, but he was given a high position after his death. He flattered Dong Zhuo to the best of his ability. In order to help Dong Zhuo become the prime minister, he wrote memorials that were so disgusting that they made others blush with embarrassment.
Thinking of Cai Yong, he inevitably thought of his son-in-law Gai Jun. Wang Yun frowned even more. This was not a good thing either. Although the latter fought with Dong Zhuo twice, he always stopped at the point of mention, and he
I received a letter from a villager last year and learned that Gai Jun had just established a foothold in Bingzhou, so he couldn't wait to attack the Guo family in Taiyuan. Now he has more than ten counties and tens of thousands of troops, and he doesn't want to come to Chang'an to serve as king.
, instead, he went east to Jizhou to seize land, money and food. He was worthy of being his son-in-law. The two of them were in the same boat.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that Gai Jun's father, Gai Xun, the governor of the Northern Territory, had many correspondences with him, and he always wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo. Once he attacked Dong Zhuo, the other party would mobilize tens of thousands of Han and Qiang elites from the Northern Territory to come to his aid. Wang Yun did not like Gai Jun, but he had to admit that his men were brave and good at fighting. The Northland was where he rose to prominence, and tens of thousands of soldiers were enough to compete with Dong Zhuo's army. However, he did not doubt Gai Xun, but he could not trust Gai Jun. What exactly was Gai Xun doing? Do you have the ability to control the elite soldiers of the North?
"Situ, He Mansion has arrived..."
He Yong has been sleeping less and less recently. He can't sleep for a moment anymore, but he feels tired easily. In a trance, he realizes that he is already fifty-three. He is no longer the famous imperial scholar who entered Kyoto when he was young. Guo Tai and Jia Biao, the leaders of more than ten thousand imperial students, met each other, and then became Li Ying, the leader of the party, and a young man whom Chen Fan valued. He was not a friend who died of illness because his father had not avenged his revenge. On his deathbed, he was entrusted to kill his enemy with a sword and halberd. , the passionate young man who was brought to the tomb to worship. Not to mention the ambitious middle-aged man who traveled across Jingyu, traveled to Luoyang, and was called "He Boqiu to relieve dangers and relieve difficulties" by party members and university students.
Yuan Shao...
He Yong remembered his first meeting with Yuan Shao in the past. His cultivation, knowledge, ambition, and even forbearance... all made He Yong conclude that the one who would save the world must be this son. With his assistance, Yuan Shao worked hard for more than ten years. , finally eliminated the eunuchs, but Dong Zhuo's arrival in Beijing shattered their dream of inspiring the imperial court.
Yuan Shao left the capital. Under He Yong's eyes, he thought that Yuan Shao would come back soon, because he believed that Yuan Shao would be the one to save the world. However, Yuan Shao's subsequent actions shocked him. He refused to recognize the emperor and attempted to Welcoming Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as emperor, he went north to Jizhou to fight for territory...
He Yong realized that Yuan Shao would probably never return to Kyoto. What was even more difficult for He Yong to accept was that his expectations for Yuan Shao appeared in another person. This person happened to be Yuan Shu, whom he hated and despised the most... .
More than a dozen people in the hall sat quietly and stared at He Yong, who was deep in thought. Among them were the great Confucian scholar Sun Rui of Fufeng, a scholar as famous as Ma Rixi, and a native of He Yong's hometown, the former Taiwei Jiang Xia Huang Wan, and the Guandong hero Zheng Zheng. Xun You, a famous scholar from Tai and Yingchuan, and Liu He, the eldest son of Youzhou Mu and Da Sima Liu Yu, etc.
"Master, gentlemen, Wang Situ is here..."
He Yong woke up with a start, and everyone else got up and ran out of the hall together.
Master He Yong was on good terms with Guo Tai, and Wang Yun was a disciple of Guo Tai. They had known each other for decades. Others had also participated in last year's plan to welcome Guandong to Chang'an, so there was no need to be too polite and they entered the hall hand in hand.
Last year, Yuan Shao joined forces with the heroes of Guandong to establish Liu Yu as emperor, which made the Chang'an court officials quite passive. Although they opposed Dong Zhuo, they recognized him as emperor. A few days ago, Liu Yu's envoy Tian Chou, who was in charge of the Youzhou Prefectural History Department, arrived in the capital to express his opinions to the court. He did not dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. He would live as a Han minister and die as a Han ghost. He even said that if Guandong forced him, he would cross the Great Wall and run to Xianbei. This was of course done openly, but secretly he revealed it to He Yong. He Yong did not dare to neglect Dong's wishes and immediately summoned people with lofty ideals for discussion.
After urgent discussion, everyone decided to let Liu Yu's eldest son Liu He return to Youzhou and call for troops to come to Xijing to serve the king.
