Chapter 79 Gongsun Constraints, The Great Trend of the World
In the past few months, Chen Yong's troops and horses have controlled more and more territory. And because Chen Yong has the exclusive right to sell horses in Wuhuan and Huan counties, he has naturally made a lot of money. Guang Gongsun Zan's family
He purchased tens of thousands of horses, and he especially loved white horses, so the price of white horses was exorbitant. This income alone was enough to provide food and salary for Chen Yong's army.
During this period, the Yellow Turban Army soldiers who followed Chen Yong to Youzhou were extremely satisfied. Chen Yong had fulfilled his promise to them. Chen Yong led them to not only own their own territory, but also
It solved the problem of food and clothing for everyone. The key point is that everyone has a salary, and most of them are married to wives.
Whether you are a new soldier or a veteran, you can live a high-spirited life following Chen Yong. Especially in the three counties of Wuhuan, he is a god-like existence. Whether it is Master Tadun in western Liaoning or Su Pu in eastern Liaoning
Lord Yan, Lord Wuyan of Beiping County, or Lord Nanlou of Shanggu County. They have all recognized the existence of Chen Yong, the general who conquered the north, and are more willing to allow Wuhuan women to intermarry with him.
In this way, the relationship between Chen Yong's soldiers and the Wuhuan people became closer and closer, and most of them were related to each other. Chen Yong's army also had some sudden cavalry composed of Wuhuan people. This further reduced the pressure on Xianbei
The living space of the clan members was not only that Bu Dugen was beaten and fled to the north, but also the Kebineng tribe did not dare to come to Wuhuan County to compete with them again.
Chen Yong's army now has ten thousand people. These troops are all elite soldiers and generals, and all of them are cavalry! This is related to the place where he guards the three counties of Wuhuan, because there are vast grasslands and large areas of land for food.
Forage for war horses. Coupled with the year of recuperation and rest, Youzhou's policies of Mu Liu Yu brought a large number of refugees to the area and reclaimed large areas of wasteland for farming. Youzhou has become self-sufficient in food.
However, Fenwu General Gongsun Zan dealt a major blow to Chen Yong's development. He wanted to inspect Chen Yong's work and the situation of the army in the name of being the official appointed by the imperial court to command all the armies in Youzhou. A cavalry captain
The number of troops under his command can reach up to 3,000 men and horses, but now Chen Yong already has 10,000 cavalry, which is definitely unjustifiable.
The reason why Gongsun Zan wanted to attack Chen Yong was because he had too many troops and horses, which seriously threatened his status. If the court transferred Gongsun Zan at this time, Chen Yong's men and horses alone would be enough to bring serious consequences to the entire Youzhou.
There is a sense of security. In addition to the two commanders-in-chief of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, this is enough to prevent the entire territory of Youzhou from being harassed.
Gongsun Zan's current position is very embarrassing. Apart from developing his military strength, he no longer knows what practical significance he has in Youzhou. Fortunately, the whole territory of Youzhou is large enough, and now Gongsun Zan is relying on the immigration of refugees to quickly expand his army.
Expanding, he now has more than 30,000 elite soldiers. Especially the "white horse Yi Cong", which has reached 10,000 cavalry!
At this time, Chen Yong received a letter from the Grand Sima Liu Yu, inviting him to go to Jicheng for a talk. Chen Yong was naturally happy to go. He had a close relationship with the Grand Sima Liu Yu, not to mention Gongsun Zan's dissatisfaction with his army expansion.
Chen Yong must rely on Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to resolve this crisis.
Chen Yong arrived at Liu Yu's mansion, and it was Tian Chou who opened the door. Chen Yong was very surprised, because it was known to everyone that Tian Chou accompanied his son Liu He to the capital, and everyone thought that Tian Chou would join Liu He to do something.
He stayed in Luoyang and developed. But the person who opened the door today was Tian Chou. How could Chen Yong not be surprised?
When Tian Chou led Chen Yong into the living room, Grand Sima Liu Yu was sitting in the hall. Chen Yong hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage. Liu Yu asked Chen Yong to lie down without ceremony, and then after the guests and hosts took their seats, Chen Yong realized that today was different from usual.
It turned out that Tian Chou also sat down today, and Chen Yong knew that something big was going to happen.
Liu Yu looked at Chen Yong and said: "The day before yesterday, a decree came from the capital, issued by Emperor Liu Xie. Your Majesty hopes that I, the Grand Sima Liu Yu, will hand over the government affairs of Youzhou to Gongsun Zan, and go to Luoyang, the capital, with my personal entourage, so that I can enter
I am an official in Beijing and perform the duties of Grand Sima. Nephew Chen Yongxian, what do you think of this decree? How should I, Liu Yu, respond to it?"
Seeing that Liu Yu was still sitting here, Chen Yong naturally knew his choice. What's more, Chen Yong knew that the court was now controlled by Dong Zhuo of Xiliang. If Liu Yu returned to the capital, he would be equivalent to being
If you are under house arrest, will you be as free and at ease as you are now?
During this period, Chen Yong and his eldest brother Zhao Hai have been exchanging letters, and Zhao Hai mentioned the affairs of the court in his letters. The Zhao family's property in Fangshan goes directly to the capital, so Zhao Hai naturally knows a lot about the recent events in the capital. Zhao Hai every day
In each letter, he would tell Chen Yong all the news he had heard, so that he could have an understanding of the major events in the world. What's more, the wealthy gentry from Fangshan's family had long been attached to Chen Yong, so they naturally hoped that Chen Yong's career would improve.
Everything went smoothly.
Chen Yong learned from Zhao Hai's letter that the eunuch "Ten Changshi" who harmed the Liu family had been wiped out! General He Jin died in the hands of the "Ten Changshi", and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the "Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan",
"But they sent out troops together and killed the eunuchs in the palace, and also killed the chariot general He Miao!
The advantage of Zhao Hai is that he only elaborates on the facts without any personal subjective evaluation, in order to allow Chen Yong to have a subjective impression of the matter and not be influenced by the opinions of outsiders. From this information, Chen Yong,
Naturally, we can see who the real beneficiary of this incident is. If it were not for the intrusion of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, the biggest beneficiary of this incident would naturally be the "Four Generations and Three Dukes" of the Yuan family!
Because after this incident, the imperial court was naturally controlled by Grand Tutor Yuan Wei. And the military horses in Luoyang City would naturally fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, the general of the Huben Zhonglang and the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy. Because at this time, these colonels in the capital
Half of the lieutenants were nephews and cronies of the Yuan family. Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the Zuo Military Academy, later became a general in Yuan Shao's hands. Although in the Battle of Guandu, the Wuchao army rations guarded by Chun Yuqiong were burned down by Cao Cao.
This caused the defeat of Yuan Shao's army. However, Chunyu Qiong was indeed Yuan Shao's confidant. No one can deny this.
Zhao Hai's letter also mentioned that Dong Zhuo's army burned, killed, and looted in Luoyang, committing all kinds of evil. Obviously, his approach could not last long. No matter how strong Dong Zhuo's army is now, they will eventually be punished for their evil deeds.
.Furthermore, Zhao Hai's letter also mentioned that Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou and began to recruit troops. His purpose was obvious, and it was naturally to harm Dong Zhuo.
Chen Yong replied: "Da Sima, you are now the overlord of Youzhou, in charge of the military, horse and government affairs here. Whether it is Gongsun Zan or Chen Yong's Miyun Army, they all belong to you. If you are ordered to return to Luoyang
, then your wealth and life are all in the hands of Dong Zhuo of Xiliang! Then you naturally know what Dong Zhuo did in the capital.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. For now, Master Liu can only restrain Dong Zhuo in Youzhou. Once you go to the capital, you will be like a piece of fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered! Da Sima must do it
Think twice before you act, at least I, Chen Yong, believe that you will have better development space only in Youzhou."
Liu Yu and Tian Chou looked at each other, and they were obviously very satisfied with Chen Yong's opinion. Tian Chou said: "I returned to Youzhou all the way from the capital during this period, and what I saw and heard on the way was even more...
It overturned my understanding. Not only did Yuan Shao, who had just fled the capital, start recruiting troops, but all the counties and counties I passed along the way were holding high the banner of righteousness to help the Han Dynasty!"
Chen Yong said: "The world only saw Dong Zhuo's evil deeds, but they did not see Dong Zhuo's beneficial side to the Han Dynasty. It is obvious that the emperor Liu Hong, the Han Ling Emperor, really wanted to establish was Liu Che, and without Dong Zhuo's Qinwang Rebel Army,
The country of Han Dynasty will fall into the hands of our relatives, Queen He, and others. Then He Jin, Queen He, Liu Bian and others have no ability to govern the world. If they rule, the world will only become more chaotic!"
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, said: "Now that Dong Zhuo has corrupted the imperial court, what should I do to save the young emperor Liu Che and the Hongnong king Liu Bian from the fire and water?"
Chen Yong said: "Nowadays, uprisings are taking place everywhere, especially the Yuan family of the 'Four Generations and Three Dukes', who are even more active! I think Mr. Liu should sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, no longer adapt to the ever-changing strategy, and first rest and recuperate.
, Governing Youzhou well is the right way! If you can stay out of it now, you can better preserve your strength and accumulate enough power for the future chaos!"
Tian Chou was very impressed with the case, and even agreed with Chen Yong's point of view. He also knew very well that now only the adults can stay out of the matter, so that the young master Liu He can be safe. What's more, now is the time when Yuan Shao is jumping up and down, so that the master can develop with peace of mind.
The Yuan family becomes the protagonist and starts a war with Dong Zhuo's forces.
Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo had a falling out in Luoyang, and he drew his sword in anger. However, Yuan Benchu was still afraid afterwards, fearing that he would be harmed by Dong Zhuo's troops again, so he had to seal the gold with a seal, leave the capital Luoyang, and return to Jizhou. But Yuan Shao was afraid that he would be harmed by Dong Zhuo's troops again.
Coming to Jizhou to recruit troops naturally had an impact on Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou. He knew that the four generations of the Yuan family had spread their kindness, disciples, and officials all over the world.
In particular, the title of "Fourth Generation and Three Dukes" of the "Runan Yuan Family" was too powerful. Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was naturally afraid that Yuan Shao's rapid rise would have an impact on his status. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was afraid of forcing Yuan Shao to be too hasty and let him really
Dong Zhuo's rebellion had an impact on his own status and united scholars all over the world. So Dong Zhuo accepted the advice of the ministers of the court and made Yuan Shao the prefect of Bohai and the title of Marquis of Tongxiang.
However, Dong Zhuo deposed Liu Bian, the young emperor, as King of Hongnong, and established Liu Xie as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He also appointed himself as Prime Minister. In the end, he claimed to be "the supreme noble", controlled the government, appointed and dismissed ministers at will. He also maliciously suppressed hostile forces, which resulted in
Lu Zhi, the minister, wrote a letter of remonstrance, angering Dong Zhuo, and was dismissed from his official position and wanted. Thanks to the help of hundreds of officials in the court, Lu Zhi fled the capital. He could only stay anonymous to avoid being wanted by the court!
Because of Dong Zhuo's extremely cruel nature, and because he deposed the emperor and established his authority, no minister in the court dared to speak out. However, he saw that the nobles and relatives in Luo Zhong were facing each other, with gold and silk property, and every family's accumulation. Dong Zhuo then indulged his soldiers.
, breaking into houses, raping women, and stealing property, this is called "prison raiding"! This incident alone offended all the civil and military officials in the court. Although they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out in court, they all began to pass on the news.
, causing chaos in the world, and various states began to attack the Dong Zhuo Alliance!
In this environment, Yuan Shao gradually became the most influential figure, not only because of his family status, but also because of his ability to kill eunuchs and his motto of "the best in the world" when he opposed Dong Zhuo in the court.
, Is it only Dong Gong?" He even drew his sword and left the capital angrily, which made the scholars willing to identify with Yuan Shao.
So Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, pretended to be the Third Duke, and wrote to all states and counties, enumerating Dong Zhuo's crimes, saying, "I am forced by Dong Zhuo and I can't save myself. I urgently hope for volunteers to save the country from danger!" The letter was circulated to all states, and naturally it finally arrived.
