Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

In the various sighs that are incomparable between people, the new year kicked off the curtain of melee.

The first unlucky one was Liu Xie, a boy who was only one year older than Sun Quan, a puppet emperor who hadn't had a good life for a few days since he was born.On the day he was born, his mother was poisoned to death by his aunt, and then his father Han Lingdi was afraid that he would be harmed by his aunt He Ling who was the queen, so he gave him to the Empress Dowager Dong and his grandmother to raise him.

Finally, he lived safely to the age close to the age when Sun Quan lost his father, and his own father Han Lingdi died again.Ahem, actually when his father died, he was one year younger than when Sun Quan had no father.

He is really no match for Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's one-mother and compatriot's elder brother is in charge, and his mother is alive and well and can teach him cultural lessons.

But for him, although his brother Liu Bian, who inherited the throne, is two years younger than Sun Ce, he can't stand up to Liu Bian.Immediately after the death of their own father, the two brothers were coerced by the servants to run back and forth in and out of the palace, and the emperor and prince had the final say on where to live.

The courtiers had a good fight, and finally had to let Dong Zhuo, who had the upper hand, have the final say.

Dong Zhuo happily poisoned his brother and made him emperor.Because Dong Zhuo believes that he is of the same family as the Empress Dowager Dong who raised him Liu Xie, and Liu Xie regards the Dong family as his natal family, so he should naturally be related to the Dong family; another bright and true reason is that Liu Xie was raised in front of the Empress Dowager Dong He was taught very well, and looked more like an emperor than Liu Xie's brother Liu Bian who was raised outside the palace.

Is it good to be the emperor?

Depends on who did it.

Liu Xie, who had his own brother poisoned, hated Dong Zhuo from the bottom of his heart.Whether he is an emperor or not, he has no right to express his opinion.

So Liu Xie ascended the throne at the age of 9, starting his long 32-year career as a puppet emperor.

Originally, after Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, his family's ancestral business had a chance to regain its glory.Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, the four generals who followed Dong Zhuo in the past, wanted to correct their evil and return to the right. They asked Wang Yun for an amnesty, and then followed Wang Yun wholeheartedly to help the great man's foundation.

If Wang Yun could be a little more flexible, adhering to the fact that the chief culprit has been eliminated and the threat should not be prosecuted, it would be justified in the law.Gathering Dong Zhuo's old troops is also a great help to the stability of the court.However, Wang Yun, who has just been crowned the "Chief Steward" and speaks his mind, has a personality of "envy of evil and hatred". He can't tolerate others with any flaws in his eyes, so he must question these four.

The four of them were forced to flee with their troops, and then met Jia Xu who took away the last chance of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty.

Jia Xu was originally Dong Zhuo's counselor. When the princes from all walks of life crusade against Dong Zhuo, he defeated the invincible Sun Jian and forced Sun Jian to lead a thousand horses to defeat him.But after Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an and took control of the government, he refused to listen to him.

Jia Xu left Chang'an to save his life.When he met Li Jue and others again, who in his eyes had only limbs but no head, the four asked him for advice, and he had the ambition to control the Han Dynasty by controlling these people.

He said to Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji: "It's wrong for you to flee the world like this. Wang Yun refuses to pardon you, and you can't escape in Dahan. Only by killing Wang Yun can you truly survive. To kill Wang Yun, you only need to get rid of his dependence on Lu Bu. Kill Lu Bu and you are the biggest."

The four were provoked by him to seek survival and power. According to Jia Xu's method, they really defeated Lu Bu, captured Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and took control of the government.

But after that, the four listened to Jia Xu's words and beat Ma Teng and Han Sui who came to Chang'an.The fledgling 17-year-old Ma Chao was also taught his first life lesson by them.No one outside confronted these four people directly. When Jia Xu went home to watch his mother's funeral, they turned against each other.

After Li Jue assassinated Fan Chou, he hijacked the emperor and fought against Guo Si for half a year.In the end, the courtiers who were hijacked together with the emperor mediated in many ways, and met Li Jue and Guo Si's many promotions and other conditions. In exchange, they shook hands and made peace. In July, they agreed to release the emperor and allow the emperor to return to Luoyang.

Alas, Liu Xie was so excited, it can be regarded as having escaped from prison and had the opportunity to return to Luoyang.He immediately escorted himself back to Luoyang with Zhang Ji as Hussar General, Yang Ding as Rear General, Yang Feng as Xingyi General, and Dong Cheng as Anji General.

In the new year, the flames of war in the west of Chang'an triggered a life-and-death duel between Cao Cao in the central part and Lu Bu who occupied Yanzhou.

It was really difficult for Cao Cao at this time. He lost his base last year and survived by eating barbecued locusts.It was Liu Bei who looked at the friendship he had with Dong Zhuo in the past and supported Cao Cao with some food to make him tide over the difficulties.

After Cao Cao's breath was relieved, he fought Lu Bu again.With the help of Xi Zhicai and others, he adopted a tactic of avoiding Lv Bu's main force, and specifically attacked Lv Bu's other commanders who were stationed in various places in Yanzhou, forcing Lv Bu to run to the rescue.

This time Cao Cao's strategy of using troops was correct, easily won everywhere, and got enough military supplies.He also defeated more than ten thousand soldiers led by Lu Bu who came to attack with more than a thousand people.Lu Bu, who was ambushed and defeated, fled at night.Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Lu Bu who had left, and divided his troops to take back all parts of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou.Chen Gong, who advocated betraying Cao Cao, was exiled by Cao Cao.Chen Gong followed Lu Bu and fled to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.Liu Bei took Lü Bu in and ordered him to garrison in Xiaopei.Zhang Miao defected to Yuan Shao for help.

There is another battle in Youzhou in the north.

In Youzhou, Mu Liuyu died at the hands of Gongsun Zan, and his subordinates, who were engaged in Xianyufu, wanted to avenge him.Elected the well-known Yan Rou as Wuhuan Sima, Yan Rou recruited Hu and Han troops, gained tens of thousands of soldiers, attacked Gongsun Zan's Yuyang prefect Zou Dan, and the two armies fought in Lu County (now southwest of Sanhe, Hebei) In the north, Yan Rou defeated Zou Dan and beheaded more than [-] levels.Xian Yufu joined forces with more than [-] Hu cavalry including King Wuhuan Qiao to welcome Liu Yu's son Liu He to the south to serve as Shepherd of Youzhou.

Liu He hid in Jizhou after the death of his father Liu Yu. Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao sent General Qu Yi, Liu He, Xian Yufu, Wuhuan Qiao Wang and others to join forces with [-] troops to fight Gongsun Zan.

Youzhou and other counties controlled by Gongsun Zan in the past, such as Dai County, Guangyang County, Shanggu County, Youbeiping County and other counties, rebelled and killed Gongsun Zan's senior officials.

Gongsun Zan was defeated and defeated again, and Gongsun Zan lost his mind and retreated to Yijing.

He built ten trenches around Yijing and surrounded himself. There were many earthen platforms in them, all five or six feet high, and watchtowers were set up on them for the soldiers to garrison.The earthen platform in the middle is ten feet high, and he himself lives on that earthen platform.Men are not allowed to come to his earthen platform, and all official documents, etc., must be tied with ropes and hung on the earthen platform, and sent back the same way after he has finished processing.

Gongsun Zan stored a lot of grain in the earthen platform, thinking that it would be safe.

The Yangzhou area in the south was a war started by Sun Ce.

In the past winter, he nestled near Liyang and devoted himself to training the newly recruited soldiers.As Sun He's injury gradually healed, that batch of injured trilogy could also follow Lu Fan to help him teach newcomers.With the demonstration and teaching of the veterans, the recruits made rapid progress, and the coordination of the five-member formation became more and more proficient.

Zhu Zhi, who was with him from the beginning to the end, praised Sun Ce's military training as a godsend after the year.Zhang Hong's filial piety period was over, so he also rushed over to help Sun Ce.

Even Mrs. Wu, seeing Sun Ce working so hard every day, secretly admired his diligence and his willingness to really bend down and work hard.

Such a smart and hard-working person reminded him to pay attention to his own safety, I believe Sun Ce would listen.

After Mrs. Wu also approved the soldiers he trained, Sun Ce joined forces with Wu Jing and Sun Ben to attack the army deployed by Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, against Yuan Shu's deployment in Hengjiang.Liu Yao's generals Fan Neng and Zhang Ying refused to defend the two crossings of the Yangtze River at Hengjiang and Dangli, and they were soon defeated by Sun Ce's tyrannical force.

Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River with the tail of Fan Neng and Zhang Ying's defeated soldiers, captured the barracks of Niuzhu Mountain (that is, Caishiji), and obtained food, grass, weapons and other supplies that Fan Neng and Zhang Ying had no time to take away. , Immediately enrich your army's supplies and improve your strength.

As the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court, Liu Yao had many prefects under him who respected the Han court.These people followed Liu Yao's orders and confronted Sun Ce along the way, but Sun Ce was invincible. He successively conquered Muling City guarded by Xue Li, Xiapi guarded by Ze Rong, and successively defeated Meiling, Hushu, Jiangcheng and other places. Smash Qu'a in Wu County, which Liu Yao occupied.

Liu Yao had no choice but to lead his troops against Sun Ce, and retreated to Dantu after being defeated.Sun Ce led the victorious army into Qu'a, successfully occupied Danyang County and Wu County, and gained his own foothold.

Sun Ce followed Mrs. Wu's suggestion, treated the people of Qu'a as his own, and carried out various post-war appeasement matters.Colleagues sent people to deliver documents to the county where Qu'e belonged to appease the fan orders who surrendered, and told the common people that those who surrendered under Liu Yao's subordinates would not be blamed for the past and would not be questioned.People who are willing to join the army are exempted from taxes and labor at home.In more than ten days, Sun Ce received more than [-] soldiers who surrendered and new recruits who supported the army, and received more than a thousand horses.

Then he appointed Zhang Hong to govern Qu'a, placed Mrs. Wu and others in Qu'a, and led his army to continue to sweep eastward.

Just when the emperor was able to set off to return to the east, Sun Ce pacified Qu'a and other places he had conquered, and shocked Jiangdong, entering another stage of his brilliant life. .
