In fact, Yuan Shao came all the way from Jizhou and mobilized his troops to go to Chang'an to join the king of Beijing. This matter was not unknown to all the princes. Even if I didn’t know it at the time, it’s been so long that I must have heard about it.
Regarding Yuan Shao's move, princes from all walks of life discussed it one after another and had different opinions. Anyway, people's hearts are in different states, and only the princes themselves know whether they are warm or cold.
There are those who praise and admire him, such as Cao Cao. He actually wanted to come over, but looking at the territory he still has no foothold on. My own strength is not good, and I am a weak major general. I can only listen to the advice of the counselors at hand, first destroy the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, expand their power, and then take care of other things.
There are also those who are dismissive, needless to say, Yuan Shao's good brother Yuan Shu. After acquiring the two major counties of Shouchun and Nanyang, this guy was very proud and felt a bit like he was looking down on the world. Why save the emperor? It would be best to let him fend for himself. When Emperor Han dies, wouldn't it be better to be the emperor himself? He thought this way and did this, and he had already made plans for himself to go further.
There are even those who are indifferent, that is, the Liu clan members who did not join the alliance of princes last time, such as Liu Biao, Liu Yan, etc. They now enjoy the benefits of mountains and rivers and a wealthy land, and live a comfortable life. They don't care about the life or death of Emperor Xian's nephew. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door. Don't worry about the frost on other people's ground. Let each of you live in peace with your destiny!
There are even those who are eager to get a piece of the pie. In fact, all the princes have this idea. But unfortunately, it is not too far away and beyond reach. If he is not strong enough, he will not be a match for Yuan Shao. Only three guys, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, and Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, were both close and powerful.
They were very ambitious and knew that they would definitely not be a match for Yuan Shao if they fought alone, so they joined together to form an alliance to defeat Yuan Shao.
Originally, I was still watching near Chang'an, waiting for Chang'an's movements to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of it. It happened that the war in Xiliang broke out again, and Yuan Shao led the army to suppress the rebellion, so he knew that the opportunity had come.
Sure enough, just when they planned to move closer to Chang'an, they received a summons from Zhonglang General Zhu Jun and an edict from the emperor, asking them to go to the capital to visit the king.
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard the imperial edict, and quickly gathered their troops, about ten thousand of them, and marched toward Chang'an in a mighty manner, went to the capital to kill Yuan Shao.
Halfway through, they received a series of letters from Zhu Jun, informing them that Chang'an was in their hands, and only the remnants of Yuan Shao's army were left. The implication is that you have to hurry up, otherwise you won't even be able to drink the soup.
Liu Dai and the others also understood this, so they asked the messenger to reply to the court. We will arrive today. On the other hand, he quickly urged the army to speed up and must reach the foot of Chang'an within two days.
The generals under their command had no objection to their lord's orders, they just followed them.
But there was a different opinion ringing in their ears.
"General, I don't think it's possible. The imperial court is in such a hurry. It must be because the plan is not going well and they want us to be cannon fodder. In my opinion, it is best for us to wait and see what happens, slowly move to Chang'an, and sit back and watch the success or failure. Wan Don't be easily fooled and fall into the court's trap."
Zhang Yang knew it was his subordinate without looking. When he looked up, it was indeed him. This guy who had only recently taken refuge in him always made things difficult for himself by saying opinions that were different from those of his other subordinates. He never allowed himself to be clean for a day. of.
No, the one who stood up and said these depressing words did not look at Liu Dai and Wang Kuang. His face changed and he became a little unhappy. He was unable to step down again, which made Zhang Yang very angry.
Seeing this, he quickly scolded him and said, "Gongming, don't talk nonsense. What do you know about national affairs? Just go down if you have nothing to do. Don't come here without an order."
Seeing that Zhang Yang looked disgusted with him, he scolded him to retreat. This general named Gong Ming had no choice but to retreat. He suddenly felt that he was being betrayed by an inhumane person, and Mingzhu secretly betrayed him.
Before he could go far, Zhang Yang quickly apologized to Liu Dai and Wang Kuang and said.
"My lack of discipline has made the two generals laugh. For the sake of the alliance, please be patient with me."
Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang had a very good relationship. When they saw this, they also spoke up and smoothed things over, saying, "I think it's because the subordinates are ignorant that they are so frustrated. I won't do anything about General Zhang. Don't mind it, don't hurt your harmony because of this. It should be Those who put important things first."
Seeing what they said, Liu Dai, who claimed to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the governor, held a high position and was the leader of the three princes, answered.
"Yes, everyone is right. How dare such a young boy talk about national affairs? When we conquered Dong Zhuo and conquered the world, he was not born yet!"
"Hahahahahaha"
"Hahahahahaha"
After Liu Dai finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, causing Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang to laugh too. The voice was very proud and cheerful.
But in the ears of General Gongming, it was not so pleasant, and it felt very harsh.
You should wait until I leave to talk behind my back. I haven't gone far yet, and you are like this. You really don't take yourself seriously. He was so angry that he wanted to go up and kill them with his Xuanhua ax.
Then I thought about it and let it go. Now they are still considered their leader. Killing someone unknown is a bit disrespectful of morality. It's better to be patient for now, wait for the opportunity, and leave.
These three idiots are really a bunch of losers. They don't even know they are being taken advantage of, and they are still complacent. They are really idiots.
It's not worth surrendering to him, and he will be useless here as a hero. By the way, I heard that Yuan Shao was a hero of the time, his name was known all over the world, and he had many ministers and generals under his command. I wonder how he is?
Let me follow him this time to see if he is worth relying on. I hope Yuan Shao won't let him down, Gongming thought secretly in his heart. Don't be slow at all, stay away from these three rubbish.
Seeing this, everyone should have guessed who this general is, right? Yes, he is Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, the general of the Three Kingdoms, one of Cao Cao's five good generals. Xu Huang defeated Guan Yu in the Battle of Fancheng. Xu Huang was praised by Cao Cao as "having the style of Zhou Yafu" because of his strict military management in this battle.
After mocking Xu Huang, these three guys, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, and Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, asked their subordinates to convey their orders.
But the three of them rode in a carriage, asked the servants to prepare wine and food, and started eating and drinking in the carriage.
Judging from their appearance, they still looked like they were marching in a hurry or fighting. They obviously came here for a conversation and an outing. Those who didn't know it thought they had won the battle and were drinking to celebrate. This was very speechless.
