There was still a little less than an hour before noon. Yuan Shao took a bath and changed his clothes, preparing to go up on stage. It was already noon, so Yuan Shao walked out of the Big Account s under the respectful greetings of the various masters. After stepping onto the stage and seeing the blurry faces of the crowd below, his heart could not help but be filled with a myriad of emotions, as if he was above everyone else.
Yuan Shao burned incense to pay his respects to heaven and earth, and made a vow to all the marquises: "The Han Dynasty was unfortunate, and the Profundity of the Imperial Family was dishonorable. Thief Chen Dong Zhuo had taken the opportunity to incite trouble, bringing calamity upon himself and torturing the commoners. We fear the fall of the Great Yue State, the joining of the draft soldier, and the approaching of the nation. All our allies have their heart and soul together, so that we will have no second wishes for the festival. If Yu is in this alliance, his life will be in danger, and he will not be able to reproduce. In the aftertimes of the Emperor, when our ancestors saw the light of the soul, it was all revealed to us! "
Everyone in the audience bowed down and began chanting loudly. Later on, the dukes made a pact to form an alliance and drank blood and wine together. Forget it, get off the altar. Everyone followed Yuan Shao as he raised the bill and sat down. The Tung Chung Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tortoise stepped out and said, "Since we have established an alliance as the chief today, we have to listen to the orders of our own people. As fellow nations, we should try our best not to quibble over the differences between the strong and the weak."
Yuan Shao waved his hand, and said sternly: "Although Yuan Shao is not talented, as long as all the Masters push him to become their Alliance Master, he should follow the orders of a general. The law will be enforced like a mountain, and those who have done meritorious deeds will be punished. The state had a common punishment, and the military had an iron law. I hope that everyone will abide by the rules and not violate them. "
Yuan Shao knew that the position of the Bohai Sea was too light, so he gave himself a rider general and an unofficial general. From then on, the dukes of the world had another hobby – giving themselves the title of emperor. No one held the imperial power in their eyes anymore.
At this point, the number of State County s who had reached the Jujube list reached 12. They were respectively: The first route, Yanzhou Stinger Liu Dai. Second way, Jizhou Thorn History Han Fu. Third way, Arrowhead of Henan Province Kong Zhou. Fourth way, Jibei phase Bao Xin. Fifth way, taiwai Dong Ping. The sixth path, Chen Liu and taiwai Zhang Miao. Seventh Way, Tung Chung Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tortoise. Eighth Road, Mountain Sun taiwai Yuan Yi. Route 9, Grand Tomb taiwai Zhang Chao. Tenth Route, Bohai Sea Yuan Shao. The eleventh route, Su Bei Ping from the right, taiwai Gongsun Zan. Twelfth Road, West Liaoning Liu Bei.
As Cao Cao did not have a legal position and his soldiers were recruited with the support of Chen Liu and taiwai Zhang Miao, they did not have enough standing in the alliance. Although Yuan Shao had bestowed him the title of General Fanwu, his men were all under the name of Chen Liu and taiwai, so the dukes in the alliance did not treat him as their team.
Other than that, the general Yuan Shu who had stationed the Nanyang did not come to meet with them. However, he had already publicly announced that she would join the Guandong Allied Army and could be considered a member of the Jujube Union. Meanwhile, taiwai Changsha had already become Yuan Shu's subordinate, so she could only hang in Yuan Shu's name.
The other people who supported the Guandong Allied Army on the way were the Hussar General Yang Lin, but he did not join their alliance. He knew that the Guandong Allied Army would not do anything, so he decided to send troops from the river, claiming that he would cross the Yellow River and attack the Luoyang from the north.
At the same time, he drove away almost all of the palace maids in the palace. Even's concubines were all expelled from the palace. Other than Emperor Liu Xie, who could only serve a small number of servants in the palace, most of them were from the West Cold.
What was even more shocking to the ministers was that Dong Zhuo actually changed his daily assembly to the Prime Minister's Palace, which was his own home. However, the ministers that were left in the Luoyang did not have any objections this time, and they all rushed over to Dong Zhuo's house to discuss things.
This morning, the ministers were discussing at Dong Zhuo's residence when Li Ru suddenly walked in from outside. He bowed towards Dong Zhuo and said solemnly: "Prime Minister, I just received two pieces of news, one happy and one worried, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Mm …" More good news? "Then tell me what you're happy about first." In the past few days, Dong Zhuo had already been tormented by a series of unfortunate news. It was rare for him to get such good news, and it would also make him happy before doing anything else. Quick, tell us, what good news do you have for us?
"Prime Minister, General Huangfu Song the Rider, and General Jing Zhao Yin have all handed over their military power. Li Que and Guo Si, the two centurions have successfully taken over the troops under Huangfu Song and Gai Xun." Li Ru smiled, but managed to suppress the excitement in her heart: "Huangfu Song, Gai Xun, these two masters have followed the imperial edict, and are almost at Luoyang."
"Pah!" Dong Zhuo's large hand slammed on the table heavily, scaring all the ministers present half to death. But right after that, Dong Zhuo "Hahaha …" Laughing out loud, the laughter that came from the bottom of his heart almost flipped the tiles on Prime Minister's Palace off.
"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Dong Zhuo finally stopped laughing with great difficulty, and shouted out three more times before he suddenly waved his hand in the air, "With the West Cold's huge army of a hundred thousand, there will be no worries for the world anymore. Let the Duke of Guandong wash their necks and wait, I want to cut off their heads one by one. "
In the past few days, Dong Zhuo was most worried about Huangfu Song. Not only did Huangfu Song have 40,000 government officials who could fight well, they also had his foundation. Huangfu Song's imperial army and Gai Xun's Chang'an soldiers had already exceeded a hundred thousand. Even if Huangfu Song dealt with it silently, it would bring Dong Zhuo a lot of pressure and he would not be able to focus on dealing with the Duke of Guandong.
However, Dong Zhuo had listened to Li Ru's suggestion. With a sword moving towards the front and a dangerous move in the military, he merely used the Son of Heaven's edict to conscript Huangfu Song as a field officer of the Luoyang City and wanted to take over Huangfu Song's military authority. Even Dong Zhuo himself did not believe that Li Ru's plan would succeed. But he had no other choice, he could only follow Li Ru's plan and give it a try.
No one would have thought that the strong Huangfu Song would hand over the authority of his troops without hesitation, and voluntarily give up on fighting the forty thousand elite soldiers of the West Cold, returning to the Luoyang alone. Gai Xun, who had originally wanted to oppose Dong Zhuo, had no choice but to give up. Without Huangfu Song, the soldiers under his command were no match for Dong Zhuo.
, the man who caused Dong Zhuo so much trouble, was unexpectedly so easily convinced. Dong Zhuo, whose heart was filled with worry, was overjoyed and he once again recovered his confidence. He stood up uncontrollably, raised his arms high, and shouted towards the sky, "I, Dong Zhuo, will die even if the Heavens!"
On the other hand, the Minister of the Court looked like they had lost their parents. They humiliated and endured the humiliation, paying their respects to Dong Zhuo, hoping that he, the carriage riding general Huangfu Song, and the Duke of Guandong would join forces to eliminate Dong Zhuo in one go and restore the big man's strength.
They just couldn't understand how Huangfu Song, who wielded a heavy soldier, could surrender to Dong Zhuo. Even if he remained silent, it would be a huge threat to Dong Zhuo. However, he obediently handed over the military power and sent himself into the tiger's mouth.
"Prime Minister, there's still one more piece of bad news." Seeing that Dong Zhuo was so happy that he forgot about it, Li Ru immediately stepped forward and said: "Guan Dong, all the prefecture s gather together at least a dozen people. We will push Yuan Shao to be our chief and gather together to attack Luoyang."
"Huangfu Song entered the Luoyang alone. The entire West Cold is under my control. Dong Zhuo looked in front of him and became depressed, then said happily: "Guan Dong's soldiers are not enough, only Yang Lin in the river is a thorn in the side. At this time, I want to send the West Cold Army up the north, march into the east side of the river, reject Yang Lin, and then order the soldiers of the Luoyang to attack the soldiers of Guan Dong to break their morale and destroy their hearts. What do you think? "
Unexpectedly, the moment Dong Zhuo had finished speaking, Shang Shu Zheng Tai stood up and replied: "Politics lies in virtue, not in manpower. The Prime Minister has the West Cold as his third support, two hundred thousand strong warriors and the righteousness of the imperial government. He is already in an invincible position, there is no need for him to do such a useless deed. "
"Mm …" Dong Zhuo was still in high spirits, but after hearing Zheng Tai's words, his face immediately darkened. He said unhappily: "According to what you said, the army is useless? Could it be that we can only sit here and wait for the soldiers of Guan Dong to attack Luoyang? "
"I did not mean that, but thought that it was not worth to send an army to attack from the east. You have risen to power in the West Cold, becoming a general in your youth, skilled in the military. Yuan Shao is a son of a public official who grew up in the capital. Zhang Miao is a loyal elder of the Eastpan County, he sat in the hall and did not even look around. Kong Di would talk loudly, criticize and criticize right and wrong. Moreover, their official positions were all conferred to them by themselves. They had not been appointed by the imperial government, so there was no order for them to be revered. If we rely on the strength of the troops to fight back, these people will conserve their strength to see who will emerge victorious and who will lose. They will not work together and fight together. "
However, Dong Zhuo's unhappiness did not scare Zheng Tai, but instead encouraged him even further. As a scribe, Zheng Tai only had his wisdom. He puffed out his tongue, and with the fearless spirit of deceiving others to death, he continued to trick Dong Zhuo.
"Moreover, the area east of the mountains of Zhoushan has been peaceful for a long time, and the people are not used to fighting. The area west of Huogu Pass has recently been attacked by the Qiang people, and even the women can fight by bending their bows. When it came to fighting, it was as if tigers and fierce beasts were being driven to catch pigs and sheep, and then the strong wind was being stirred up to sweep the dead leaves. Who could resist? If there was no conscription, it would startle the world, and cause people who were afraid of military service to gather. To give up your virtue and use your army is to undermine your own prestige. "
In that moment, Dong Zhuo was also confused. He was even thinking, with my own moral authority, can I really move the armies of Guan Dong? He knew, however, that since he had taken office there had seemed to be no virtuous government, and that he did not like it.
However, Li Ru was not so easily fooled. He looked at Zheng Tai with a ridiculing look and said coldly: "Master Shang Shu's words are wrong. Now that the Guan Dong State County has started an army to rebel, it means that they have become a rebel of the imperial government. They must be annihilated resolutely. "
"That makes sense!" Dong Zhuo finally snapped out of his daze, waved his hand fiercely, and ordered loudly: "The Yuan Family's recruitment and conspiracy, shall we exterminate the Nine Clan, and immediately exterminate the Yuan Family. And gather an army to guard the eight stages of Luoyang to prepare to eliminate the rebellion of Guan Dong! "
Almost at the same time, Yang Lin also received a report about how the Duke of Guandong's army had gathered in the Acid Date Alliance and how Huangfu Song had handed over the authority to enter the Luoyang alone. Yang Lin, who was already mentally prepared, could only let out a long sigh and helplessly shook his head: "The great chaos in the world has finally begun, no one can stop the footsteps that don't believe in history."
"Obstinate!" How pedantic! Huangfu Song harmed many, the big size man will destroy the world in his hands! " Zhong Yao slammed the intelligence report onto the table and said angrily: "You're holding onto a heavy soldier and not repaying the nation, yet you handed over the military authority for your own false name. How is this some loyal general?
