Chapter 88 Sworn to Help the Han Dynasty, the Death of Yuan Kai
Chen Yong warmed wine, beheaded Hua Xiong, and threw the head in front of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu seemed to be in a state of despair, and was actually frightened. After a pause, he seemed to have calmed down a little, and then he went to the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao.
After saying hello, he led his personal entourage and all the generals to leave the Chinese army's tent and rushed to his camp without looking back.
Chen Yong looked at Yuan Shu who was running away in a hurry, knowing that he was afraid that he would embarrass him on the spot, so he pretended to be so rude and fled here. Chen Yong also knew that he had no way to deal with him, so he said to the leader Yuan Shao
: "Lord Leader, this Hua Xiong has been trapped in Sishui Pass by Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha. Unfortunately, Sun Jian's personal guards came yesterday to collect food, but the governor-general grain officer Yuan Shu refused to release food to him, which caused the Jiangdong Army to suffer.
People's hearts are distracted.
That night, Sun Jian's army was defeated by the Xiliang army led by Hua Xiong. Even Sun Jian was almost killed by Hua Xiong's troops. Fortunately, General Zu Mao risked his life and put on Sun Jian's Wentai red flag.
The helmet led Hua Xiong to pursue a large number of troops. Unfortunately, General Zu Mao was overtaken by Hua Xiong's troops, and ended up being split in half by Hua Xiong's machete...
When General Sun Jian learned about it, he was so heartbroken that he fainted on the spot and was driven back to the coalition camp by his men. He met me, Chen Yong. Only then did I know the whole story, and only then did I, Chen Yong, come forward.
The opportunity to defeat Hua Xiong. I, Chen Yong, beg the leader of the alliance to clear up General Sun Jian’s name and stop Yuan Shu’s shameless behavior. Otherwise, the coalition of eighteen princes will be in disarray, and none of us will work hard.
Woolen cloth?"
Yuan Shao asked: "General Chen, where is General Sun Jian now? Why doesn't he come to the Chinese army's tent to meet me? I, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, will definitely tell everyone about my brother Yuan Shu, the governor-general's grain officer's corruption for personal gain.
I have given you an explanation, please don't blame me, General Chen Yong. Every family has its own troubles, so no matter what, I will give an explanation to General Sun Jian!"
Chen Yong bid farewell to the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, and strode out of the Chinese army's tent with his personal entourage. Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yide also turned around and left the tent. Liu Bei and Liu Xuande originally wanted to stay in the tent.
But when he saw his two brothers leaving angrily, he hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands to everyone in the big tent, and left first.
Cao Cao and Cao Mengde didn't even answer. When they saw Chen Yong leaving, they chased him in the direction where Chen Yong left. Yuan Shao saw that all the princes were a little distracted, so he followed everyone's lead.
After a few more pleasantries, he announced that the gathering was disbanded, but he went to find Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha. He knew in his heart that if he wanted these princes to listen to him, he must find a way to solve the problem.
Chen Yong strode forward, followed closely by Liu Xing, Fang Ming and Li Meng, chasing Chen Yong away. Cao Cao and Cao Mengde hurried and slowly caught up with Chen Yong, and stretched out their hands to block their way. Cao Cao said:
"General Chen, you are truly a heroic young man! You did a great job in killing Hua Xiong by warming the wine, but what I admire you even more is that you dared to directly attack Alliance Leader Yuan's sore spot and reveal the root of the disagreement between the two brothers!"
Chen Yong said: "Brother Meng De is ridiculous. I am just discussing the matter and expressing some of my personal opinions. If Yuan Shao and Yuan Benzhu still organize their troops in this way, then it won't be long before the coalition against Dong Zhuo falls apart. I
I feel deeply unworthy of those ministers who really want to do things for the Han Dynasty. What is the significance of this alliance? How many people formed an alliance to save the common people in the world and to save Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?"
Cao Cao said: "General Chen counts as one, then Liu Bei and Liu Xuande count as one, General Sun Jian counts as one, and who else is there, then we need to see... The world has reached the point where the princes are divided, how many people will really
Why do they care about the life and death of a little emperor? All they care about is their own personal interests!"
Chen Yong said: "The general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. I can't blame others for having other ideas. Who let Emperors Heng and Ling ruin their family fortunes? If you want to expect your ministers to be loyal, you must at least have a wise king.
Is this possible? I hope we can turn the tide and rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so that he can reverse the decline of the late emperor and revive the imperial court..."
Cao Cao and Cao Mengde said: "No matter what, we ministers should do our best to have a clear conscience. If the Han Dynasty is prosperous, I believe that our alliance this time will be able to rescue Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie.
I believe that with all of us assisting him, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty will be able to overcome all obstacles and revitalize the imperial court!"
A person behind him said loudly: "What a man who overcame all obstacles and revitalized the imperial court! I, Liu Xuande, am one of them. I will wholeheartedly rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and return him to the imperial court. I will take it as my duty to kill Dong Zhuo, the thief who stole the country, and do the work of prospering the Han Dynasty and destroying Dong!"
Chen Yong and Cao Cao turned around to watch, and saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei coming from behind. Cao Cao stopped talking to Chen Yong, but looked at Liu Xuande and said: "General Chen, Brother Yun, you have
How can the Han Dynasty fail to revive with the addition of these heroes? You return to the camp first, and I will kill pigs and sheep in a moment to reward the generals!"
As he spoke, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde turned around and left, while Chen Yong joined brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang and rushed to their respective camps. Along the way, everyone was chatting in a lively manner. Liu Bei specifically asked what Chen Yong and Cao Cao were talking about.
Chen Yong was full of confusion about the two people's concerns about today's world and the performance of everyone in this alliance. He was even more skeptical about whether relying on these people could rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei agreed with this concern, and Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide even mentioned that the eldest brother would often cry alone because he felt guilty because he was unable to rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In this way, everyone came to Chen Yong's camp together.
Chen Yong ordered Fang Ming and Li Meng to lead troops to guard outside, while Liu Xing waited on the side.
After a while, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde came over with the slaughtered cattle and sheep. Chen Yong naturally informed Cao Cao of the ambitions of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Cao Cao immediately decided to burn incense and swear an oath with everyone to work together to help the Han Dynasty.
, take it as your own duty to save the people of the world, and be the loyal minister and righteous man who dares to be the first in the world!
Everyone drank together and had a long talk, and they didn't come back until they were drunk! They drank until it was three o'clock in the morning, and Cao Cao and Cao Mengde returned in joy. The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were even drunker. Chen Yong specially found Liu Xing, Fang Ming, and
The three of them took the three brothers back to the camp.
It is said that Hua Xiong's defeated troops fled back to Sishui Pass together. Li Su, who came with Hua Xiong at that pass, knew that it would not be easy to hold Sishui Pass with his own strength. So he wrote an emergency document overnight and ordered Xingye
At the same time, he was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report to Dong Zhuo and ask him to make preparations in advance and send troops to rescue him.
When Dong Zhuo received the urgent document from Sishui Pass, he hurriedly summoned his ministers and ordered everyone to read the contents of Li Su's letter. Then Li Ru, Lu Bu and other civil servants and generals gathered together to discuss what to do.
Coming up with this strategy to defeat the enemy, everyone knew that the enemy was huge and invincible, so they all looked towards the counselor Li Rulai.
Seeing this scene, Li Ru came out and came to Dong Zhuo and said: "Your Majesty, Rong Bing, today we lost our general Hua Xiong. It was because of the great force of thieves and it was not the fault of war. It is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu who are here today."
The leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Wei, is now the Taifu in Luoyang City. What if Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao's uncle and nephew cooperate internally and externally to attack Luoyang City?
I think that in order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the internal affairs. The Yuan family is a big family in Luoyang City. I think we can first get rid of Yuan Wei's family, old and young, and then order the military academy to arrest the Yuan family members in Luoyang City and kill them all.
You can rest assured. You can also ask the Prime Minister to lead the army and divide it for arrests, so that things can be accomplished!"
Dong Zhuo thought so, so he summoned Li Jue and Guo Si, and ordered them to lead two thousand troops to surround the residence of Grand Master Yuan Wei. That night, they entered Grand Master Yuan Wei's home and killed everyone, regardless of age! Again
Lead Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to conduct a thorough investigation of the Yuan clan in Luoyang City and exterminate all of them, including their families, young and old, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!
That night, all members of the Yuan family, including Tai Fu Yuan Wei, Tai Servant Yuan Ji, men, women, old and young, including servants and maids at home, were all beheaded. The Xiliang cavalry even took away the money of these Yuan family members.
All were looted and sent to the prime minister's palace. Dong Zhuo kept half of them and rewarded the rest to his own men.
Dong Zhuo ordered Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to issue an edict stating that the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and the Imperial Servant Yuan Ji colluded with the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to plot a rebellion. That is why Prime Minister Dong Zhuo launched a thunderous strike to kill all the Yuan family in Luoyang City.
Members. The officials in Luoyang City all felt sad that the rabbit had died and the fox had died, but no one dared to raise objections. It’s not that there were no objections, but as long as someone had objections, that person’s whole family, old and young, would be executed!
And Dong Zhuo ordered the heads of the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and the Imperial Servant Yuan Ji to be sent to Bishui Pass, and ordered Li Su to hang their heads outside the city gate! When the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and the Imperial Servant Yuan Ji were
After the heads of the two men were hung outside Sishui Pass, the coalition's detectives informed the alliance leader Yuan Shao and the governor-general grain officer Yuan Shu about the incident!
The two of them led the troops and rode horses to the front of Sishui Pass. When they saw the heads of the two princes on the city tower, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu burst into tears! By this time, Yuan Shu had some regrets. He should not have raised troops privately.
If there is a rebellion, you should at least notify the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and the Imperial Servant Yuan Ji in advance, so that the Yuan family will not lose so many heroes...
Dong Zhuo immediately raised 200,000 troops and divided them into two groups: Li Jue and Guo Si led 50,000 troops to guard Sishui Pass and not to fight with the enemy yet; while Dong Zhuo personally led 150,000 troops to accompany them.
Li Ru, Lu Bu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others guarded Hulao Pass. This Hulao Pass is only fifty miles away from Luoyang City and is actually the gateway to Luoyang City.
As soon as the 150,000 troops and horses arrived at Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo sent an order and ordered Lü Bu to lead 30,000 troops and horses to camp outside Hulao Pass. Dong Zhuo himself stationed troops at Hulao Pass. Dong Zhuo just wanted to see Yuan Shao.
What is the combat strength of the coalition forces? Will anyone be able to withstand the blow of my son Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian?
Meteor Detective Ma quickly reported the information he had found out to Yuan Shao's stronghold. The two Yuan Shao brothers led troops to attack Sishui Pass that day. However, apart from losing their troops and generals, they had no chance at all.
At this pass, Yuan Shao had no choice but to order his troops to retreat. They set up camp outside the city to prevent being attacked by the defenders inside the city wall overnight.
Yuan Shao invited the eighteen princes to come to the central army's tent and gather together to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy. The princes all looked at each other, and no one had the intention to speak out.
Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, stood up first and said: "Dong Zhuo stationed troops at Hulao Pass to block the advance of the princes like us. Today we can sneak half of the army and horses outside Hulao Pass to have a showdown with Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian! I don't know who is willing.
Chapter completed!
