July 2nd.

Yangzhou, Lujiang County, Shu County.

The big banner of the "Liu" at the top of the city wall fell quietly, and someone walked slowly from the city gate.

After being besieged for fifteen days, Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, established by Yuan Shu, finally chose to surrender.

If he knew that Yuan Shao poisoned the emperor and Chen Fei had to suspend the military operations in Yangzhou, he would have worked hard to persevere, but now he has no way out.

He had just served as the prefect of Lujiang at the beginning of the year, and had no time to cultivate his hard-core confidant, and his prestige among the people was far from enough. Even if he wanted to raise his arms, most people in the city would not follow him.

Moreover, his only neighbor, Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia in the West, could not send troops to provide assistance at all. Therefore, in this situation of internal and external troubles, it was not easy for Liu Xun to be able to persist for half a month, facing the first general of the dynasty, Yangzhou Magistrate, Qiantang Hou and Zhu Jun.

At this moment, he only wore a piece of underwear, tied his hands behind his back, carried a thorn on his back, and walked out of the city step by step.

As the winning coach, Zhu Jun also showed a relaxed smile.

Chen Fei has already recruited most of the main troops, leaving Zhu Jun with only more than 20,000 troops, but there are still less than 10,000 elite soldiers in Shu County. No matter which military book he reads, he will never be able to complete the mission of siege.

But this is the fact. With his prestige and the advantages of Yangzhou locals, Zhu Jun temporarily recruited thousands of young and strong men to waving flags and shouting, and then transferred thousands of soldiers from the new Yuzhang prefect Li Tong, and finally besieged 10,000 with 30,000 troops, which made Liu Xun dare not leave the city!

The east and south are the vast Yangtze River, and the west are the endless Dabie Mountains. No matter officials or the people in the city, there are not many people willing to fight for him. In addition, Zhu Jun has too deep qualifications and high prestige, and even Liu Xun's surrender is not surprising at all.

He knelt heavily in front of Zhu Jun's mount, and behind him were two deputy generals kneeling down together:

"The criminal Liu Xun is willing to surrender to the court, and I hope the General of the Cavalry will forgive his life!"

Zhu Jun smiled silently and said:

"Zhu is no longer the General of the Cavalry, but now he is just the governor of Yangzhou. General Liu, how many armored soldiers and food are there in Lujiang at present?"

Liu Xun paused again:

"Reported to Mr. Zhu, the criminal minister has only been in charge of Lujiang for five months, and one month has led his troops across the river to the south, resulting in the decommissioning of county affairs and sluggish farming. In addition, the common locust plague in Yangzhou this year, there are only 200,000 stones of rice in the government. If it is used to maintain the current 12,000 troops, it will only be enough for five months at most. This is a map of the county, the population of the households, and the treasury supplies. Please check it out."

Zhu Jun glanced at the main numbers and calculated them a little in his mind, but his face turned a little loose:

"Please get up, General."

He siege the city for half a month, and except for the usual archery deterrence, he never had a head-on attack. Therefore, as an individual, he could not pursue Liu Xun:

"General Cheqi and Cavalry have always been generous and kind. Since General Liu has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I believe he will not pursue the matter again."

Only then did Liu Xun dare to get up:

"Yes, thank you Mr. Zhu!"

Zhu Jun looked at the map again and pointed his hand in the southwest direction:

"There are mostly mountain monuments on the west side of Lujiang River. If Huang Zu of Jiangxia wants to send troops, he can only invade from Xunyang along the river. Therefore, he only needs to dispatch more than a thousand soldiers here. As for the east side... facing Danyang across the river, as long as he controls a few ferries, there will be basically no accidents. According to this calculation, only half of the elite soldiers in Lujiang River need to be left behind."

Liu Xun quickly flattered:

"Mr. Zhu is worthy of being the first general in the world. In an understatement, he has already made Lujiang solid!"

Zhu Jun glanced at him with a slight sneer:

"I have Luo Jun in charge of Jiujiang, so there should be no serious injury. I will temporarily station troops in Shu County and prepare to cross the river to attack Danyang!"

Liu Xun pretended not to see his ridicule, but instead asked to go to the battle very actively:

"The criminals are very familiar with the terrain of Danyang. If Zhu Gong trusts me, I am willing to act as a pioneer and assist Zhu Gong in destroying the Yuan family. This is also considered a merit and atonement!"

Zhu Jun pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Okay. I will take the lead in the chariot and cavalry for the time being, with General Liu as the Sima of another unit. You can simply draw two thousand elite troops, and after a little preparation, you can send troops to Danyang with me!"

Liu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief by being able to retain the most basic troops.

As soon as he was about to thank him, he saw two fast horses rushing from the north:

"General Cheval and Cavalry has an order here!"

Zhu Jun was stunned for a moment. Three days ago, he had just received a letter from Chen Fei about changes in his official positions on both sides. Why did he have another military order?

Although it was a little strange, he still did not neglect. He immediately turned over and dismounted, took the letter with both hands, and then slightly checked the seal mark, and looked through the bamboo slips and read it carefully.

After he finished reading it, he couldn't help but sigh with regret:

"General Liu, General Cheqi and Cavalry have an order. Let's stop marching into Danyang for the time being, and there must be no mistakes!"

Liu Xun was indeed disappointed:

"Yuan Shu is about to perish, why did he give up halfway?"

Zhu Jun's expression was a little sad:

"Your Majesty... has passed away!"

-

After only ten days, the news that "Yuan Shao poisoned the emperor and the queen and officials" spread throughout every state and county of the Han Dynasty. Even Shi Xie, who was far away from the ends of the world, got this explosive news through his meticulous works lurking in Jingzhou.

For a moment, as long as there were no warlords who blatantly rebelled, they all made two choices.

First, all the staff wore mourning clothes and mourning to the Emperor of Han.

Second, publicly condemn Yuan Shao for being rebellious, crazy and extremely vicious.

Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Yao and other Han royal families were naturally the first to bear the brunt. They fully mobilized their literati and poets to criticize Yuan Shao as worthless, especially Liu Biao. In recent years, he has recruited so many famous scholars in the Central Plains and supported him for many years, and finally he can play a role!

The princes and kings from all over the country, led by King Chen Liu Chong, also followed closely, crying that the Han Dynasty had lost the wise ruler who was rare in a century. At the same time, she sighed pessimisticly: The Han Dynasty wanted to revive again, but she didn't know what year or month to wait!

The main force was almost completely destroyed and Gongsun Zan, who could only hide in Yijing, was waiting for death, but he ushered in the dawn of a turnaround.

He first issued a tear-jerking manifesto, denying Yuan Shao's unkindness and unrighteousness. He had previously joined forces with himself to fight the rebellion, but he took the opportunity to force Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, to occupy Jizhou. Then he was afraid that the conspiracy would be exposed, so he killed Gongsun Zan, which was extremely shameless!

Then he sent his own son and eldest nephew to contact various forces, calling on all princes to attack the Yuan family and restore peace in Hebei!

Some princes, although their territory is very small and their power is very weak, and they have no sense of existence at all, but at this time, they are particularly proactive and even become leaders in criticizing Yuan Shao.

For example...Beihai Xiang in Qingzhou, Kong Rong.

This direct descendant of Confucius published a scattered manifesto. He quoted classics and combined classic works such as the Spring and Autumn Analects, the Analects of Confucius, the Book of Songs, and the Zhou Yi, echoing all the notorious rebels in Chinese history with Yuan Shao, and taking the titles!

His manifesto was so wonderful that after reading it, Shangshu Ling Chen Ji felt a little ashamed:

[It is obvious that I, Chen Ji... are the first person to witness the tragedy with my own eyes!]

[A thousand years later, Kong Wen's quotation on this anti-thief will definitely be left to histories and will be forever teleported by future generations. And my Chen Yuanfang's edict... may only be submerged in the vast river of history!]

Chen Fei is mostly too lazy to take a look at these articles that are either passionate, indignant, or passionate.

He has been waiting for the attitude of the Qingzhou Governor Cao Cao.

Xun You, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others have actually analyzed it, but they can't determine the final result.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are childhood sweethearts, and they are in the same camp for more than 30 years. To be precise, Cao Cao is dependent on Yuan Shao and holding the Yuan family's thighs. The prefect of Dongjun, who Cao Cao started his family, was rewarded by Yuan Shao.

But now the situation has undergone subtle changes. Now Cao Cao owns the three counties of Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan is also eager to take over the entire Qingzhou. The conflict between the two sides has initially arisen.

No one can tell whether Yuan Shao would tolerate Cao Cao taking over Qingzhou and gain a great help, or would Cao Cao offer Qingzhou to Yuan Tan in exchange for Yuan’s protection?

Chen Fei did not wait too long. After only two days, Luoyang received a manifesto from the East.

"Yuan Shao has seven serious crimes!

First, Shao Shao was a son and was defeated by Puyang. He was worried about his mother's resignation. After three years of ceremony, he was chased and was orphan. He was also obeyed by his father. He was connected for six years. He praised him for his elder son. However, his eldest son Tan and the second son Yuan Xi were all born during the filial piety period! He was so famous and would like to be known to the world!

2. Yuan’s family had four generations and three dukes, and their disciples were all over the prefectures and counties. However, Shao failed to respond to the repeated expeditions and was famous for supporting scholars. At that time, the Grand Tutor Wei called Shao and criticized him with loyal words. Shao never changed. As for the general He Jin’s campaign, he became the attendant censor and the general of the Yulin Central Army. He did not want to be an official, but he actually did not want to be a minor official!

Third, Shao was the general He Jin and planned to kill eunuchs. Yuan Shao and his uncle Wei made a proclamation and killed the Sili lieutenant Fan Ling, the Henan Yin Xu Xiang, and offered suggestions to attract the Hedong prefect Dong Zhuo, which led to the chaos in the capital and the world was in disorder. The one who chased the Han Dynasty was actually the Yuan family!

4. In order to fight against Dong, Shao gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, but did not try to send troops to quell the rebellion. He held banquets every day. Only Cao and the governor of Yuzhou Sun Jian, worked hard to move westward, expel Dong Zhuo and restore the capital. As for Yuan Shao, he only used this to invite fame!

5. Shao was the prefect of Bohai, but he killed Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and was able to occupy Jizhou. Then, he was granted a vassal of county without being rewarded by the court. He also sent three sons to take Qing, You and the three states as governors to imitate the etiquette of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty. His unjust intention was obvious!

Sixth, the former emperor was the legitimate son of Emperor Ling, who was wise and wise, and was deeply loved by the people. However, Shao made the establishment of the emperor not his own intention, and he conspired to establish Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. However, the elders of the Yu clan angrily denounced him, and Shao then connected Gongsun Zan, and Yu died, and the Han Dynasty lost his relatives!

7. Therefore, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, was generous and heroic. The eight chefs of the world once blamed Shao for being arrogant, and Shao hated him deeply. When there was Jizhou, he repeatedly sent envoys to Cao and ordered Meng Zhuo to be killed. Cao Cao blamed Shao several times, but Shao refused to follow him. His narrow mind was so narrow, how could he accomplish great things?!

Yuan Shao was a man who was very concerned about the gifts of many generations and was very proud of his reputation. Most scholars liked to speak outside, but they were more generous to others and were ignorant to others. They were skeptical to others and were skeptical to others. They only had relatives and children. They were also very ambitious and wise, with a harsh and weak temperament, and they were afraid of defeating and having little power. Now they are even more violent and violent to kill the emperor and all officials. Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, no evil and rebellious ministers have ever been like this!
