The World of Yellow Sky

"Definitely not!"

Yuan Shao turned his head and directly interrupted Bao Hong's words.

Although what Yuan Shao said was decisive, he felt in his heart that Ding Yuan was very likely to agree to Jian Shuo's request.

He Jin is dead, and the Empress Dowager Dong and Jian Shuo support Liu Xie to take over the throne, and all officials admit it.

The current Liu Xie is undoubtedly the emperor and the country, and they are the traitors.

Xun You looked down, and said in a low voice: "Ding Jianyang's Bingzhou Mu was ordered by Emperor Daxing... If Dong Hou really ascended the throne according to the imperial edict of Daxing, Ding Jianyang might really favor Dong Hou..."

Everyone said something, and I said something, but they didn't come up with any regulations for a long time.

It was even more inappropriate to go directly to Ding Yuan's account. For a while, they fell into a stalemate, and pessimistic emotions lingered in everyone's hearts.

"The angel came and asked you to go to the tent to discuss matters."

When Cao Cao was thinking, he heard a familiar voice, everyone followed the prestige, and it was Ding Yuan's Wu Meng who interrupted their conversation.

Cao Cao was startled, he was lost in thought, but he didn't realize that Zhang Yang had come up to him, and everyone didn't notice Zhang Yang either.

I just don't know how much Zhang Yang listened to their conversation.

However, Zhang Yang's expression was as usual, he didn't seem to have heard those harsh words, otherwise, he might have already faced swords and soldiers, after all, they had even said before that they would seize Ding Yuan's military power...

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at each other, if Ding Yuan really reached an agreement with Jian Shuo, then his going here would undoubtedly be a point of no return.

But even if they didn't go, their hope was extremely slim. After several considerations, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others still had no choice.

Everyone could only follow Zhang Yang to Ding Yuan's tent, but except for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Bao Hong, the rest of the people were stopped outside the tent.

Yuan Shao and the others didn't waste time with Zhang Yang because of this matter, the three of them obeyed orders and walked into the big tent, but as soon as they entered the big tent, they saw a very familiar person in the big tent at a glance, one of the ten regular attendants. Zhao Zhong in the movie!

Liu Hong once said that Zhang Changshi is my father and Zhao Changshi is my mother.

Among them, Zhao Changshi refers to Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong turned his head, looked at Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others frowning slightly, and said in a high-pitched voice.

"Why are the school captains so disheartened?"

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Bao Hong didn't say a word, they just glanced at Zhao Zhong, then turned their eyes to Ding Yuan, saluted Ding Yuan together, and chose to ignore Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong chuckled and didn't take it seriously.

Ding Yuan stood up and walked slowly to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

"Ding Gong, can you tell me what happened?"

Seeing Ding Yuan approaching, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked in a low voice. It seemed that Zhao Zhong and Ding Yuan had a very happy conversation, which made Yuan Shao couldn't help but raise his heart, but Ding Yuan didn't turn his back on them.

Now Yuan Shao is very confused, he doesn't know Jian Shuo's intentions, and Ding Yuan's thoughts, this is an extremely dangerous thing.

"Zhao Zhong, you all should know each other."

Ding Yuan glanced at Yuan Shao and the people behind him.

"Jian Shuo sent Zhao Zhong here just for your business."

"Jian Shuo said: 'He Jin's rebellion has already been executed, and the rest of the coercion will be forgiven.' As long as you are willing to surrender your military power and recognize Dong Hou as the emperor, then your lives will be safe."

Cao Cao's eyes froze slightly, and there was a commotion among the crowd.

Not because of anything else, but because what Jian Shuo said was really unbelievable, now Jian Shuo has the upper hand.

And they besieged the palace and set fire to the palace, which is undoubtedly treason, the crime of treason, an unforgivable crime, how could it be possible to hold it high and then put it down gently.

Cao Cao's first reaction was that Jian Shuo wanted to cheat, but he quickly overruled it. There are 3000 people, and they occupy Dayi.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao happened to be looking at Cao Cao at this time, and the two of them thought of a possibility at the same time.

Could it be...Jian Shuo couldn't control Dong Zhuo? !

The army under Jian Shuo's command was the main attack, and the Xiliang army was only supporting. The casualties of Jian Shuo's army were indeed heavy. I am afraid that even if the lower barracks were included, the number of soldiers under his command would only be around [-] at full strength.

Dong Zhuo of the Xiliang Army led three thousand elite cavalry, and because Yuan Shao had recruited Dong Zhuo to Beijing before, there were still about seven or eight thousand soldiers not far from Luoyang.

When the Yuan family recruited Dong Zhuo, they not only wanted to solve the court affairs, but also used Dong Zhuo to subdue He Jin, and also wanted to control Ding Yuan. There are more than ten thousand people.

But it didn't count that Ding Yuan who worried them originally was quite firm, while Dong Zhuo, who had always been obedient, had a different idea.

Dong Zhuo's follow-up soldiers will probably arrive in Luoyang in a few days, but the forbidden troops under Jian Shuo's control are still far away in Jizhou and Youzhou, and they will not be able to be dispatched back for a while.

If at that time, there was still a stalemate, and when Dong Zhuo's follow-up soldiers arrived, Jian Shuo might not be able to control Luoyang at all, and even the emperor might become Dong Zhuo's puppet.

Yuan Shao's heart suddenly jumped, he was taken aback by his own thoughts, and Cao Cao also figured out the key at this time.

Dong Zhuo's follow-up soldiers were not too secretive. Cao Cao, as one of the eight school lieutenants, naturally knew about it.

"Did Jian Shuo say anything else?"

Yuan Shao seemed to have thought of something, he couldn't help but took a step forward, and asked eagerly.

"He wants you to hand over Shi Hou and Empress Dowager He to participate in the enthronement ceremony, and you must hand over the generals of the General's Mansion and some of the followers. Someone must take responsibility for this turmoil."

Yuan Shao's eyes were slightly cold, he now knew why Ding Yuan only allowed the three of them to enter the big tent, while keeping the others out.

"Three captains, think slowly, I won't panic."

Zhao Zhong chuckled and sat down on his own.

Yuan Shao glanced at the complacent Zhao Zhong, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute. He had to bow his head under the eaves. He looked at Cao Cao and Bao Hong, pondered for a while, and asked aloud.

"Meng De, what do you two think?"

"I'm afraid that Jian Shuo really can't control Dong Zhuo, otherwise he would never let me go so easily. Now that Jian Shuo's army is insufficient, it is really hard to see. Everyone knows that although they don't know what condition Jian Shuo set for him, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo is not satisfied and wants to go further."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, and after a long silence, he spoke slowly.

"If the army under my command is controlled by him, together with Ding Gong's Bingzhou army, Jian Shuo's power can overwhelm Dong Zhuo. In my opinion, Jian Shuo and Dong Zhuo are not as close as I thought before. On the contrary , the two have different minds, and there is even a big gap between them."

After Bao Hong waited until Cao Cao put forward his opinion, he also expressed his own opinion.

Yuan Shao exchanged glances with Cao Cao and Bao Hong, and he had a plan in his mind. He glanced at Ding Yuan, who was still expressionless, and asked tentatively, "What is Ding Gong's opinion?"

"My point of view?"

Ding Yuan glanced at Yuan Shao and the others. Although he was appointed by Liu Hong as Bingzhou Shepherd, it is undeniable that the Yuan family also made some efforts in it.

From the bottom of his heart, what he thought was to agree with Liu Bian as the emperor, and then abolish the embroidered clothes envoy.

Let go of the right to recruit troops, and the Emperor Daxing changed the governor to the governor of the state, which greatly strengthened Ding Yuan's autonomy. Although Bingzhou was still occupied by Xu An, Ding Yuan had a smooth sailing in Hanoi. But the embroidered clothes messenger was like a fly, circling around him, restraining him all the time, not giving him a chance to flex his muscles.

But now that Liu Xie is the emperor, it seems that it is a foregone conclusion. All the officials in Luoyang City have already recognized it, and the form is stronger than the people.

"I think this should be regarded as the best result so far."

Ding Yuan pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said.

Chapter 452 There is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two kings in the earth

There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two kings in the earth.

In the end, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Bao Hong chose to recognize Liu Xie as emperor and surrendered their military power.

He Jin was convicted of treason, and fell to the same fate as the former general Dou Wu, and was sentenced to death in Luoyang Duting.

His family members, guests, and in-laws were all killed, while the family members were spared death, but the death penalty was exempt, and the crime of living was inevitable. The rest of the survivors were exiled to Jiaozhou.

The miasma is overgrown, the wild beasts are rampant, the water and soil are in the south, and there are some people with ulterior motives on the road. It is foreseeable that they may not live for a long time. Empress He was also placed under house arrest in Yuntai.

Shi Hou Liu Bian was named the King of Hongnong, and Jian Shuo personally appointed him as the Prime Minister, and sent fifty embroidered envoys to escort him directly to the country.

Hussar General Dong Zhong was promoted to General.

Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Dong Min, was promoted to Sili Xiaowei, and he was granted the holiday.

Due to Duan Jiong's reason, Duan Yan and Dong Zhuo have always been very close. Although Jian Shuo promised the post of Henan Yin, he also needs a certain prestige to take the post of Henan Yin. Shuo hesitated to give Dong Zhuo the post of Henan Yin, and finally Dong Zhuo pushed Duan Yan out of the table, and Jian Shuo agreed to Dong Zhuo's request.

Although Duan Yan has a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, he is not subordinate, and naturally he will not become a marionette. Jian Shuo has some confidence to win over, and after a long stalemate, Jian Shuo finally gave the position of Henan Yin to Duan Yao.

Although the rebellion was confirmed, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao and others also recognized Dong Hou as emperor, but Jian Shuo had to rely on Dong Zhuo, so he could only fulfill the original conditions one by one.

Sikong Liu Hong was dismissed, Dong Zhuo was worshiped as Sikong, and Dong Zhuo finally got the coveted position of Sangong.

However, Ding Principle was added as Zhi Jinwu, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Bao Hong and others were dismissed from their military positions. Among them, the positions of Military Academy, Xiajun, and Dianjun were all taken by Jian Shuo.

Dong Zhuo stationed troops in Xianyangyuan, and Ding Yuan stationed troops in Mengjin.

Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, Xu Liang, Wu Dang, Zhang Jin and other generals and relatives of the general's mansion were all beheaded for public display.

He Miao, the chariot general, Shi He Yong, the chief of the general's house, and Zheng Tai, the minister's servant, were convicted of treason and punished by their families.

The envoys in embroidered clothes came out everywhere, and the soldiers were constantly mobilized. Luoyang was filled with people's heads and blood everywhere.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, on November [-]st, the enthronement ceremony was held.

Under the witness of hundreds of officials and ministers, Dong Hou and Liu Xie inherited the Datong, ascended the throne as emperor, and named him "Yonghan".

The results of the Battle of Jizhou also spread to Luoyang City at this time.

Zhangshui, Fuliu, and Linping, the Han army was defeated in all three battles, with more than [-] casualties. Polu captain Zou Jing died in battle, Zhang Nan, Meng Dai and other Jizhou generals died in battle, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou surrendered yellow scarf.

Before Jian Shuo could even give an order to stop it, the news of the defeat spread like a hurricane throughout the city. It was impossible to hide the news of the defeat from the dignitaries of Luoyang City, and they also had their own channels for news.

For a while, even the panic of the turmoil in the imperial city a few days ago was dissipated a little.

Everyone paid more attention to the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou.

How the throne changes, after all, is still the world of the Han Dynasty, their benefits are only a matter of how much, but if the Yellow Turban Army wins, then they have no benefits at all, and even their lives cannot be guaranteed.

In the past, Bocai led the Yellow Turban Army all the way forward, no matter how powerful or aristocratic, their houses were destroyed along the way, and no chickens and dogs were killed. The Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army won again, but it reminded all the powerful people in Luoyang. When the states merged, the fear that came from the bottom of my heart.

Xu An's name reappeared in the ears of the dignitaries after two years since the three-year battle of Kuicheng in Zhongping.

This time when they heard Xu An's name, everyone's heart was no longer the previous shock, but real fear.

Every time Xu An's name is heard, Taiping Dao must become stronger again, and it is accompanied by the frequent defeat of the Han army.

I don't know why, suddenly there was an evil wind of Taiping Dao in Luoyang City, and the theory of ghosts and gods became popular again.

Xu An has also become more and more unpredictable in the rumors, and even has several times more mana than Zhang Jiao in the past rumors, and has become a fairy-like figure on land.

The rumors are no longer just that Xu An is the incarnation of Huang Tian that Tai Ping Dao propagated. Although the Luoyang Eagle Wolf Guards contributed to this, everything behind it is based on rumors.

Xu An's identity ranges from a fairy descending to the earth, to a demon attaining the Tao, to a born saint, and to all kinds of strange events.

Some people even claimed that when traveling in a certain countryside in Jizhou a long time ago, they suddenly saw purple air filling the mountains and forests, and the smell was tangy. When they came back to their senses, they were already in another settlement. A baby was born in the farm family, and the baby was later named "Xu An".

The matter was stated clearly and convincingly, and there were even many details behind it. The scribe who named it, and the appearance of the farmer's host and hostess were even described, which made many people believe Xu An for a while. He is a person born with a vision, maybe he really has a destiny.

Although the embroidered clothes emissary reacted quickly, he was still affected by the palace change after all, and his control was greatly weakened. In the end, the rumor-monger was still not found.

Rumors grew wildly in Luoyang like weeds, and the Embroidered Clothes Messenger restrained them from all sides, and finally achieved some results. At least in public places, not many people dared to speak freely, but it was unknown in the dark.

……

In the Hall of Houde, Liu Xie was sitting upright, flipping through the memorial. Although he was only eight years old, he already knew many characters. He knew most of the words in the memorial, and he could understand the general meaning.

However, he is still far from being in charge of the government. Most of the state affairs are handled by the Queen Mother Dong and Jian Shuo to help make decisions.

Of course Taiwei Ma Rixun, Situ Dinggong, Sikong Dong Zhuo and others also have a lot of say, but Dong Zhuo's proposals are often refuted by Taiwei Ma Rixun and Situ Dinggong at the same time.

At this time in Houde Hall, the atmosphere was extremely dull, Taiwei Ma Rixun and Situ Dinggong both looked at their noses and noses, and sat on the ground upright without saying anything.

Sikong Dong Zhuo sat next to Situ Dinggong, although his sitting posture was still respectful, but he would turn his head to look elsewhere from time to time, as if a little impatient.

The great general Dong Zhong, sitting on the right, was listening to the explanation with full attention.

Standing by Liu Xie's side, Jian Shuo, the servant of the Central Committee, was always ready to obey Liu Xie's orders.

Although Liu Xie is still young, Jian Shuo never really treats Liu Xie as a child, but as a normal adult. Many things that are not too important are left to Liu Xie to make independent decisions as much as possible .

And Liu Xie did not disappoint Jian Shuo. Liu Hong did not misunderstand Liu Xie. He said that Liu Xie had the appearance of a king, and it was not groundless.

"Zhangshui, Fuliu, and Linping, our army has been defeated in three places, and the millions of 'moth thieves' in the four prefectures will no longer be hindered. They have reached the vicinity of Xiaquyang, and there are many horsemen among the Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou, coming and going like the wind. , with the cooperation of the Xiaoqi Battalion of the Yellow Turban Headquarters, the Jizhou raiding army was defeated and had to withdraw to the cities."

"About the end of this month, the 'moth thief' of the four states will enter Bingzhou from Jingxing Pass."

A little yellow gatekeeper took the silk book, stepped forward in small steps, and respectfully placed it on the desk in front of Liu Xie.

Jian Shuo softly explained to Liu Xie the detailed rules of the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and then said to Dong Zhong and the others in the hall: "You guys have any good strategies for Jizhou, but it's okay to say."

Dong Zhong didn't practice military affairs, and he was also aware of the mess in Jizhou that he couldn't solve it by himself, so he chose to keep silent.

Anyway, he is a great general just like He Jin, relying on his status as a relative, he just needs to cooperate with Jian Shuo, and he doesn't have much idea of ​​fighting for power and profit.
