Chapter 238 Who is Tiger Wolf?
It is difficult to draw a dragon or a tiger, but it is difficult to know the person and face but not the heart. ----------As the saying goes "Zeng Guangxianwen"
It is said that Wang Yue used his magical power to stab Liu Bian, the young emperor of Han Dynasty, in the neck without anyone noticing. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne,
The Yuan Dynasty was changed to the first year of Jian'an, with Dong Cheng as the uncle and Grand Sima, Wang Yue as the Grand General, Wang Yun as the Stuart, Shi A as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Zhou Shen, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Zhong Ji, etc. as the ministers and captains of various ministries. , only Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi were highly respected, and they were not part of Chen Long's party. They had always been loyal to the Han royal family, and had not been purged by Emperor Xian and Wang Yun of the Han Dynasty for the time being. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not have the absolute strength to expel Huang Gai's troops, so they were in peace for the time being.
Chen Long watched coldly, waiting for Zhang He to arrive with his large army. Queen Mother He's defense had been taken over by Huang Gai's troops, and Wang Yue had no chance to assassinate Queen Mother He. On the contrary, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son established contact with Chen Long after the burial of Emperor Han, and together they studied the mystery of Emperor Han's death.
Chen Long had already studied the body of Emperor Han Shao, and naturally knew the cause of his death clearly. When he said that the murderer used a contemporary sword, all three of them knew that the murderer must be a professional and cruel high-end assassin. Ma Teng was even more confused. He seemed unable to remember it, but he heard that someone in the world had such a short sword.
After Chen Long analyzed the death of the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he saw the young Jin Ma Chao standing majestically on the side. He couldn't help but feel proud. He knew that Ma Chao was the number one swordsman in the Three Kingdoms. He didn't know if he could be stronger than Wang Yue? He took out a sword. He raised his sword and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, I know that your marksmanship is very good, and your swordsmanship is even better. I happen to practice these two weapons as well. I must practice with Meng Qi today!"
Chen Long had just practiced the Yunzhong Sword Manual with Sun Li in the past few days, and it was very difficult. Ma Chao agreed immediately, and Ma Teng had to shut up. Chen Long pulled out his long sword and made a starting position according to the Yunzhong Sword Manual. Ma Chao was surprised and said: "This is the first time I have seen Master Hou." He also drew his sword and made a hand gesture: "The sword technique I am using is called Chu Technique. It was created by me based on other sword manuals. Please be careful, Lord Hou."
Chen Long's old face turned red and he thought that he must have not acted according to the standard before being ridiculed by Ma Chao. With a slight shout, the improved version of Yunzhongjian quickly attacked, adopting an ethereal offensive. The long sword transformed from the sky, just like a white cloud pressing down on the top. The castration was natural and smooth, and the footwork was simple and agile. Ma Chao shouted: "Good swordsmanship!"
The moment Chen Long's long sword approached, Ma Chao also swung his long sword. The technique was very simple and clear, and it struck Chen Long's sword-holding palm like lightning. Chen Long's heart moved, and he remembered that his Jeet Kune Do was also about finding the simplest path to attack the enemy without following established rules. It turned out that the same was true for the swordsmanship that Ma Chao had learned, and he could be called the originator of Ah Fei's swordsmanship.
This suited Chen Long, who immediately gave up the cumbersome swordsmanship traps of Yunzhong Sword, and switched to the time-honored blocking skills of later generations of fencing swordsmanship. The two fast swords intertwined in the air like thunder and lightning, and the silver sword flowers blossomed, as majestic as the stormy sea, and the sound of the swords colliding was as dense as exploding beans, which made Ma Teng, who was watching the battle next to him, excited.
Finally, after a heavy collision, the two figures suddenly separated. Chen Long threw away the sword and laughed loudly: "Have fun!" Ma Chao also waved his hand and inserted the sword into the soil, laughing and said: "Master Hou, you This swordsmanship is really beyond my expectation!"
Chen Long said: "Meng Qi, my swordsmanship is not a swordsmanship, but it is born of your swordsmanship. If yours is called a sleight of hand, mine can at best be called a counterattack sleight of hand."
Ma Chao put away his smile and said thoughtfully: "Master Hou, are you saying that you can catch all my sword skills?"
Chen Long nodded and said: "Even so, it doesn't mean that I can win the battle. It's just that all the sword techniques I just used were based on the most favorable reaction. This seems to be a kind of sword technique."
Ma Chao understood this time, raised his hands and said, "Master Hou's words imply the philosophy of swordsmanship. My approach also pursues simplicity and clarity, but it is far from reaching the extreme."
At this time, Ma Teng came over and smiled at Chen Long: "Master Hou has really only practiced sword fighting for a month? It really puts my dancers to shame." Ma Chao quickly said: "Master Hou's martial arts skills are unfathomable, Ma Chao Not as good as that. I hope I can see Mr. Hou to spar with me every day."
Chen Long was overjoyed, thinking that I haven't thought of how to keep you, but you proposed it yourself, and said quickly: "I am open to Meng Qi at any time. Moreover, the death of Emperor Han Shao also needs to be studied collectively. I think it is better to do this , I have a small yard here that is still empty, how about I let them clean it up and live here?"
Ma Chao was moved when he saw Chen Long's sincere affection. He looked at Ma Teng with a look in his eyes asking for instructions. Ma Teng was away from home, so he was naturally worried, but he couldn't let go of the opportunity to get close to Chen Long. After hesitating for a while, Ma Teng smiled and said: "The Lord Hou is kind to me, and I accept it heartily. However, the troops outside the city cannot be without a general, so let Meng Qi stay and harass the Lord Hou."
Chen Long was overjoyed, knowing that he had Ma Teng's complete trust. What's even better was that Ma Chao was by his side, and he could train a better and smarter Ma Chao. Moreover, Ma Teng despised what Wang Yun and others did. Although he was the target of Wang Yun's struggle, Wang Yun recently appointed a private person, and Ma Teng was still just the governor of Xiliang, knowing that he was not the core of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. After all, Ma Teng had served the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, which Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would never forget.
The relationship between Ma Teng and Chen Long has become much closer. Placing Ma Chao next to Chen Long is equivalent to placing a proton beside Chen Long. At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued another edict, requiring each department to prepare within the month to move the collective capital back to Luoyang.
This news is tantamount to taking the royal family out of Chen Long's control and into the arms of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu has been running Luoyang for a long time and has established a solid foundation. Wang Yun has always used Yuan Shu as his backing. At this time, of course he can't wait to return to Luoyang with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Then he can use the emperor to command the princes, and then use the appeal of the Yuan family to fight with Chen Long fights to the death.
Chen Long gradually saw Wang Yun's plan clearly, and naturally he could not let him succeed, let alone let Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty successfully move the capital easily. It just so happened that Chen Long had the best weapon to slander Yuan Shu. The day after the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was issued, the city was full of big-character posters exposing Yuan Shu. There was only one line of big characters on them: "Yuan Jiujiao secretly hid the jade seal and had long wanted to usurp the throne!" "
The news was like a giant bomb, instantly filling the city and shattering the confidence of the royalists. After Yuan Jiujiu became the Fourth and Third Duke, he actually had the intention of tampering?! Everyone is talking about this big event that shocked the whole country. Wang Yun terminated the plan to move the capital. All the focus is focused on whether Yuan Shu really hides the jade seal secretly. If this matter is confirmed, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's plan to protect the Yuan family will naturally go bankrupt, and the banner of destroying the nine Yuan family clans will be launched. What about the powerful Yuan Shao who is far away in Jizhou? You Wang Yun and Wang Yue can fight Have you passed?
At this time, Yuan Shao had gradually taken control of the entire Jizhou. Yuan Shao left Luoyang that day, hung the talisman issued by the imperial court on the upper east gate, and fled to Jizhou. Dong Zhuo ordered Yuan Shao to be wanted. At that time, someone advised Dong Zhuo: "It is not something that ordinary people can understand. Yuan Shao does not know the general situation, so he is afraid of running away. It is not for other reasons. If he is wanted too urgently, it will inevitably stir up trouble. The Four Yuan Family Dai Guang spreads his kindness, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. If Yuan Shao recruits heroes and pulls up his troops, all the heroes will take advantage of the momentum. At that time, Guandong will probably be beyond the control of Ming Gong, so it is better to pardon him and give him a county guard Dangdang, then, he is fortunate to be exempted from guilt, and he will not cause trouble." So Dong Zhuo appointed Yuan Shao as the governor of Bohai and gave him the title of Marquis of Tongxiang.
When the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao was the most appealing figure, not only because of his family status, but also because of his achievements in killing eunuchs and his failure to cooperate with Dong Zhuo. Originally, Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was afraid that Yuan Shao would raise troops, so he sent several troops and counties to monitor Yuan Shao in Bohai County to restrict Yuan Shao's movements. At this time, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, pretended to be the Third Duke and wrote to various states and counties, enumerating Dong Zhuo's crimes, saying, "I am forced by Dong Zhuo and I have no way to save myself. I am eager for volunteers to save the country from danger." Han Fu received the letter and summoned his subordinates for discussion. He asked everyone: "Should we help the Yuan family or the Dong family now?" Liu Zihui, who was in charge of the government, said seriously: "The army is for the country. How can we say Yuan family or Dong family?" !" Han Fu was speechless and looked ashamed. Due to the situation, Han Fu did not dare to stop Yuan Shao anymore. He wrote to Yuan Shao to express his support for his army to attack Dong.
The prefectures and counties in Guandong raised troops to attack Dong and elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Yuan Shao proclaimed himself General of Chariots and Cavalry, and he and Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, stationed in Hanoi, while Han Fu stayed in Ye to provide military supplies. Kong Yi, the governor of Yuzhou, stationed in Yingchuan, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and Cao Cao, who stationed jujubes, and the later general Yuan Shu Lu Yang, each has an army of tens of thousands.
When Dong Zhuo learned that Yuan Shao had raised troops in Shandong, he killed Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Wei and all the Yuan clan in the capital. Dong Zhuo then sent Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yinxun, Zhijinwu Hu Muban, general Wu Xun, and Yueqi captain Wang Quan to advise Yuan Shao and other armies. Yuan Shao assigned Wang Kuang to kill Hu Muban, Wang Quan, Wu Xun and others. Yuan Shu also hunted and killed Yin Xun, but Han Rong was spared because of his high moral character and prestige. At this time, most of the heroes joined Yuan Shao, and they were moved by the tragedy of his family. Everyone wanted to avenge him, so the troops from the prefectures and counties swarmed up and all obeyed Yuan's orders.
However, the governors of various states and counties in the crusade against Dong Zhuo had different intentions and delayed the sun and the moon to preserve their strength. The generals stationed in Suanzao held banquets every day, but no one was willing to fight Dong Zhuo's army. After the jujube food was exhausted, the armies turned into birds and beasts and dispersed, and the crusade ended in nothing.
Yuan Shao also made plans to abandon Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and establish a new king for easier control. He selected Liu Yu, a member of the Han clan and the shepherd of Youzhou, and despite Yuan Shu's objections, in the name of the generals in Guandong, he sent Zhang Qi, the former prefect of Lelang, to meet with Liu Yu and submit a proposal. Liu Yu flatly refused. Yuan Shao still refused to give up and asked him to take charge of the ministerial affairs and undertake the homage, but Liu Yu also refused.
At this time, Dong Zhuo had not collapsed, but the Kanto pastoralists were fighting with each other in order to expand their personal territories, compete for land and population. Han Fu was afraid that Yuan Shao would become powerful, so he deliberately reduced military supplies in an attempt to starve Yuan Shao's army into dispersion. But Yuan Shao was not satisfied with a small county in the Bohai Sea. He had long coveted Jizhou, which was known as the most important capital in the world.
When allied troops were fighting against Dong, Yuan Shao once asked Cao Cao: "If something goes wrong, where can we defend?" Cao Cao asked, "What do you mean by this step?" Yuan Shao replied: "I will defend the Yellow River in the south and Yan in the north. , Dai, both Wuwan and Xianbei, and then go south to fight for the world, maybe you can succeed!" Yuan Shao said that he controlled the Yellow River in the south, and guarded Yan and Dai in the north. The vast area in between is Jizhou, which is rich in products and has a large population. . However, Yuan Shao was not in good times at that time. When his retainer Feng Ji suggested that he capture Jizhou, Yuan Shao was very hesitant and undecided. He said to Feng Ji: "Jizhou has a strong army, but our army is hungry. If we can't attack it, I won't even have a foothold." Feng Ji offered advice: "Han Fu is a mediocre person. We can secretly cooperate with Liaodong's vassal state Chang Shi." Gongsun Zan made an appointment and asked him to attack Jizhou south. When his troops move, Han Fu will be panicked. We will take the opportunity to send eloquent people to explain the interests to him, and we are not afraid that he will not let him leave Jizhou." Yuan Shao values the reunion. Ji, as expected, wrote a letter to Gongsun Zan as he wished.
It happened that Han Fu's general Qu Yi rebelled, and Han Fu's crusade failed. Yuan Shao sent an envoy to make friends with Qu Yi. At the same time, Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack Jizhou in the south. Han Fu was defeated in the first battle and panicked. At this time, Yuan Shao's lobbyists Gao Gan and Xun Chen lost no time in arriving at Yecheng. Gao Gan was Yuan Shao's nephew, and Xun Chen had a good relationship with Han Fu. They said to Han Fu: "Gongsun Zan took advantage of the victory and went south, and the counties surrendered in the hope of the wind. Yuan Chaqi also led his troops to Yanjin. His intentions are unpredictable. Privately, we are all worried about the general." When Han Fu heard this, he couldn't help but fall. Taking a breath of air, he asked eagerly: "If that's the case, what should we do?" Xun Chen did not answer directly, but asked: "According to the general's estimation, how are you compared to Yuan Shao in terms of generosity and kindness to others?" Han Fu said: "I'm not as good as me." "How do you compare to the Yuan family in terms of making decisions in times of crisis and being wise and brave?" Han Fu said again, "I'm not as good as me." "Then, how do you compare to the Yuan family in terms of spreading your kindness and benefiting people all over the world through your life? How can we compare with the Yuan family?" Han Fu shook his head: "It's still not as good as that." After asking a few questions, Xun Chen said: "Gongsun Zan led the elite troops of Yan and Dynasty, and their troops were unstoppable; the Yuan family was temporarily How can a great hero remain under a general for a long time? Jizhou is an important place on which the country depends for its survival. If the Yuan family and Gongsun Zan join forces and fight against the general under the city, the general will be in danger at his heels.
