"In the summer of the first year of Chuping reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Empire, the God of War Lu Bu was defeated. The coalition of Shandong princes conquered Hulao Pass and looked at the imperial capital. The imperial capital was shaken up and down. Dong Zhuo, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, was afraid of being trapped by the Hanzhong army and the allied forces of the princes, so he mobilized troops to Xingyang
At the same time, he started preparing to move the capital of the Han Dynasty westward to Chang'an." - "The Biography of the Three Kingdoms"
"Move the capital?!" In the Hulao Pass meeting hall, a group of princes suddenly burst into an uproar after hearing the news.
"Dong Zhuo's traitor is so scared! Now our allied forces and the Hanzhong Army have formed a siege on the imperial capital. He must have moved the capital at this time because he is afraid that we will besiege him in Luoyang! Alliance leader, if people are angry today, it is our army who will kill him in one fell swoop.
This is the best time for Dong Zhuo to rebel, send troops!" Cao Cao suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"General Cao, please don't be impatient..." As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Yuan Shu said slowly: "As General Cao said, Dong Zhuo's strength has been exhausted under the deterrence of our army. I have just received news that the government and the public in the imperial capital are now
There are a lot of voices criticizing Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is no longer able to control the imperial court. It is only a matter of time before it is overthrown. Now that the emperor is still in Dong Zhuo's hands, if we send troops hastily, won't we put the emperor in danger? Leader, I think this is the reason for sending troops.
Things need to be discussed in the long run..."
Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao who was sitting in the middle with a smile, but Yuan Shao remained silent. Not long ago, he and Yuan Shu received news at the same time. Now the patriarch of the Yuan family and the Grand Tutor of the Han Empire, Yuan Wei, sent them a secret letter.
The secret letter stated that the situation in the imperial capital was under the control of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao and others were told not to send troops easily. Yuan Wei and the Yuan family in the imperial capital would definitely oust Dong Zhuo when the government and the public were shaken.
Let the Yuan family take charge of the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shao naturally understood what Yuan Wei meant. If the princes really invaded Luoyang, then the great credit of saving the emperor of Han Dynasty from killing the rebels could not be monopolized by the Yuan family. For the sake of the long-term development of the family, Yuan Shao must contain it.
The actions of the coalition forces of the princes.
"Well, Lord Yuan is right!" After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shao finally said calmly: "General Cao, this matter really shouldn't be rushed. I think we'd better wait and see..."
"Wait and see?!" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and snorted heavily. But at this moment, his strength was still too weak, and he did not dare to confront the Yuan brothers head-on, so he could only swallow his anger.
Yuan Shao glanced at the princes present. Except for Qin Yang who was leisurely drinking tea, the other princes either had angry expressions on their faces or had puzzled eyes flashing. Yuan Shao couldn't help but frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Everyone
, although I, Yuan Shao, pretend to be the leader of the alliance, I dare not really claim to be the leader of the alliance. How about this, if any of you are eager to serve the king, I, Yuan Shao, will not stop you. You can lead our troops to the front.
How about going to fight against the rebels?"
Yuan Shao's move was extremely insidious. He first expressed his position, and then told the princes that if you want to go, you can go by yourself, but I, Yuan Shao, am not in the mood to play with you anymore.
Sure enough, most of the princes were dumbfounded as soon as these words came out. They came to join the coalition just to join in the fun. The Yuan brothers alone accounted for more than a quarter of the 600,000-strong army. The few under their command
Ten thousand people are going to face Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of troops and the fierce Xiliang cavalry?! They are obviously going to die!
"Haha, since the alliance leader has already decided, we will naturally not disobey it."
"The alliance leader is the alliance leader jointly recommended by us. When we met, we already swore to the Heavenly Alliance that we would live and die together and advance and retreat together. How can we leave alone now?"...
For a moment, the hall was in chaos, and all the princes expressed their opinions one after another. Are you kidding, asking them to die? They haven't lived enough yet!
Qin Yang, who was sitting aside and drinking tea without saying a word, couldn't help but smile lightly when he saw the ugly behavior of the various princes. These guys have no ability to fight, but their ability to show loyalty and be a wallflower is first-class. He did not participate.
If there is any kind of alliance, the most they can do is send a "consolation group", so these things have nothing to do with themselves at all.
Just when Qin Yang was secretly cursing, he suddenly felt as if someone was touching him quietly beside him.
"Oh? Mr. Sun..." Qin Yang suddenly turned around vigilantly, only to find that Sun Jian had arrived beside him at some point.
Sun Jian smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Don't blame Mr. Qin. Mr. Sun just wants to ask Mr. Qin something."
Qin Yang smiled and said, "Master Sun has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Sun Jian said directly: "Then let me tell you directly. I wonder if Mr. Qin agrees with Alliance Leader Yuan?"
Sun Jian's voice was very low, but Qin Yang heard it very clearly. After hearing this, Qin Yang's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously looked at Yuan Shao who was complacently accepting the flattery of the princes, and smiled and said: "
It’s hard to say that people have different opinions. But I, Qin Yang, have not participated in any alliance. I, Hanzhong’s hundreds of thousands of troops, have been waiting south of Luoshui..."
Qin Yang's words were very clear. Sun Jian's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Master Qin and Sun Jian are in agreement! Sun Jian assured Master Qin that as long as Master Qin launches an offensive in Luoshui, Sun Jian will definitely lead 80,000 Jiangdong sons.
Fight out of Hulao Pass and go straight to the imperial capital to help Lord Qin kill the traitors!"
"So, I, Qin Yang, would like to thank Master Sun..." Qin Yang laughed, filled Sun Jian with a cup of tea and handed it to Sun Jian.
Sun Jian also smiled, took the tea cup, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Today, I, Sun Jian, will use tea instead of wine to make an oath with Lord Qin to defeat the traitors of the country and conquer the imperial capital!"
"Hmph! Villain, a bunch of villains! Have you all forgotten the oath we swore to each other? It's really a shame for me, Cao Cao, to be with you villains!" At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly slammed the table.
He stood up and shouted angrily.
The entire hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Cao Cao.
"Master Cao, I just said that Mr. Yuan will not retain any of you. As long as he is willing to leave, he can lead his troops to leave immediately. Is it possible that Mr. Cao is not satisfied with what he said?" Yuan Shao stared at Cao Cao coldly with anger in his eyes.
Leng said.
Cao Cao sneered, "Don't be anxious, Alliance Leader Yuan. I, Cao Cao, will leave immediately! Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong has already sent troops to Xingyang. Although I, Cao Cao, know that I am defeated, I still have the courage to fight for the empire in the bloody battlefield! Farewell!"
After saying that, Cao Cao looked around at everyone in the hall and strode out of the hall.
Xingyang... Qin Yang looked at Cao Cao's back and thought to himself, Cao Cao is really interesting. Now that he has fallen out, he didn't forget to tell him where he was going. It seems that he is not very sure about taking Xingyang, so he should say this
You are preparing to leave yourself a way out.
After Cao Cao left, there was silence in the hall. Yuan Shao looked at the back of Cao Cao who left angrily. He also lost the interest in accepting the praise and said angrily: "Are you the only hero in the world? Who else is willing to be this hero?
Again, I, Yuan Shao, will do what I say and will never hold you back."
"Since Alliance Leader Yuan is so generous, I, Sun Jian, will go ahead and say goodbye to you all." As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Sun Jian stood up without giving any face.
"You..." Yuan Shao couldn't help but change his expression when he saw Sun Jian standing up. This was the second time today that he had been humiliated, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Sun Jian did not speak as righteously as Cao Cao. He just smiled slightly, glanced at Qin Yang casually, and said: "It is the honor of my life, Sun Jian, to fight side by side with all the masters. Sun is not a hero, he just wants to
I'm just doing some things within my duties, please forgive Sun Jian and Meng Lang for doing this."
After that, Sun Jian also strode out of the hall and walked away.
"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?!" Yuan Shao's face was already livid at this moment. In a moment, people were challenging his majesty as the leader of the alliance one after another, which made him unable to accept it no matter what. He secretly made up his mind that if someone wants to leave again,
, he must kill this man to establish his authority!
"The tea is good, but it tastes bland after drinking too much..." Qin Yang put down the teacup and stood up with a smile. After looking around at the various princes with strange eyes, he just hugged Yuan Shao, then turned and walked away.
Qin Yang?! The anger in Yuan Shao's heart surged upwards and upwards, but finally it did not explode. If it were the other princes, Yuan Shao would never give up at this moment, even if he killed him directly, he would have no scruples. But Qin, who had just defeated Lu Bu,
Yang... Yuan Shao, at least yet, doesn't have the courage to fight to the death.
"What are you looking at? Come back to camp and wait for me! As the leader of the alliance, I order you that no one is allowed to leave!" Yuan Shao sat down slumped and never mentioned the words "never stay" again...
