The year 189 AD is different from previous years. This is nonsense, after all, no year is exactly the same as previous years.
But in the era of the Three Kingdoms, there was no Gregorian calendar. Historically, this year was destined to be extraordinary. There were many era names for this year. According to the calendar at that time, it should be called the sixth year of Zhongping.
But this year was also the first year of Guangxi, the first year of Zhaoning, and the first year of Yonghan.
Zhongping is the fourth reign title of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Guangxi was the first reign title of Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it took five months;
Zhaoning was Liu Bian's second reign title, which only lasted two months;
Yonghan was the first reign title of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty when Liu Xie came to power, and it also took five months.
Changing the reign name three times in one year may be a difficult thing for modern people to understand and understand, but in ancient times, it was a clear proof that the world was unstable and the court was in chaos.
As a result, in December, the imperial edict was issued to eliminate Guangxi, Zhaoning, and Yonghan No. 3, and renamed them the sixth year of Zhongping.
If a lot of things happened during this year, then these things finally came to an end in this month at the end of the year, which really slowly opened the curtain of the history of the Three Kingdoms.
In this December, various princes responded to Yuan Shao's call and formed an alliance to jointly attack Dong Zhuo.
In the first town, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, died ten days before the alliance. The counties in Nanyang County jointly elected Liu Bei and Liu Xuande as the leader, leading an army of 100,000 to participate in the alliance.
In the second town, he understood the scholars and read the Nine Classics. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was named Wenjie and led an army of 20,000.
In the third town, Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, participated in the alliance with Zhuge Liang, the chief secretary, and Qi Zhen, the supervisor, and led an army of 20,000.
In the fourth town, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, led an army of thirty thousand.
In the fifth town, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, led an army of 10,000.
In the sixth town, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, led an army of ten thousand.
In the seventh town, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, led an army of 10,000.
In the eighth town, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, served as the rear general of the coalition forces. He controlled the coalition's food and grass and led an army of 50,000.
In the ninth town, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin led an army of ten thousand.
In the tenth town, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, led an army of ten thousand.
In the eleventh town, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, led an army of 10,000.
In the twelfth town, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping, and his general Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led an army of 50,000.
In the thirteenth town, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, led an army of 10,000.
In the 14th town, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, Marquis of Wucheng, together with general Huang Gai, and forward generals Sun Ce and Tang Yi, led an army of 30,000.
In the fifteenth town, Yuan Shao, the Marquis of Qixiang and the governor of Bohai, led an army of 80,000.
In the sixteenth town, Ma Teng, the governor of Liangzhou, led an army of thirty thousand.
In the seventeenth town, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, led an army of thirty thousand.
In the eighteenth town, Bingzhou General Zhao Yun led an army of fifty thousand!
The troops of the eighteen princes totaled more than 500,000, and they each set up camps, connected for 300 miles, with great momentum and majesty.
Among them, Nanyang County had the largest number of people, reaching an astonishing 100,000. All the princes sighed with disdain in their hearts. Why, Liu Bei actually spent all his money to come to the alliance. Could it be that he was worried about Yuan Shaolin? Is it possible to suppress the attack?
Following closely behind was Yuan Shao, who led an army of 80,000 to form an alliance.
Of course, Yuan Shao's 80,000 men and Liu Bei's 100,000 men have different meanings in everyone's mind. Among the princes who can respond to Yuan Shao's call to come here to form an alliance, there are many who are inextricably linked with Yuan Shao. Among them, In his heart, Yuan Shao's strength is far more than just 80,000 soldiers. There must be many more soldiers recharging their strength in Bohai County.
Next came Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, Zhao Yun, the general of Bingzhou, and Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping, each leading 50,000 soldiers.
Yuan Yi is a civil servant, and Yuan Shao's cousin, whose courtesy name is Boye. I am afraid that he has also emptied Shanyang County's family fortune. It is estimated that he can gather 50,000 soldiers, which can barely support the food and fodder affairs of the coalition's rear. Everyone has doubts in their hearts. , I am afraid that Yuan Shao is also helping. Otherwise, how could this small Shanyang County have so many soldiers and horses?
Everyone knows that if Yuan Shu is still alive, Yuan Shao will definitely let his actual brother serve as the rear general and be in charge of the food and fodder affairs of the coalition forces. But since Yuan Shu unfortunately died, this task naturally cannot be handed over to others, so he will let him Yuan Yi takes on this important responsibility.
Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping, is nominally the governor of Peiping. However, in the past two years, his relationship with Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, has become closer and closer. It has almost reached the point where they go out together and sleep together on the same bed. The whole Youzhou has no external worries and no worries. The most important thing about the internal strife was the help of foreign races. The soldiers and horses were in a mess, and they became one of the most powerful forces at the time of the alliance.
As for Zhao Yun, the newly appointed Bingzhou general, everyone has heard a little bit about it. He is one of Gongsun Zan's white horse followers. The white horse followers are famous and famous. There are rumors that there are no more than three thousand soldiers. If there are more than three thousand soldiers, they are invincible. Therefore, although Zhao Yun is nominally the The soldiers in Bingzhou and the same place are actually just the same soldiers as Gongsun Zan in Youzhou.
The princes from other towns each sent 10,000 to 30,000 soldiers to help, and there was nothing special about it.
In particular, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, and Kong Min were extremely low-key at this time. They seemed to have only ten or twenty thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, and they had no confidence at all in speaking.
At this time, all the generals gathered at the commander's platform to discuss the important matter of thieves.
"You guys are coming from afar, and it's really hard to travel and travel, but the country's thieves are on top. I won't be polite to you at this time. Please listen to the thieves' message first."
Yuan Shao looked like a wealthy man, but his appearance was dignified and quite heroic. He was now wearing armor and had an awe-inspiring look, which attracted the admiration of everyone below.
Although all the princes were officials in the same dynasty, transportation in this era was inconvenient. Many people only heard about Yuan Shao but never saw him, so they looked like this.
Everyone stood up and listened quietly to the thief's appeal.
"Shao and others would like to declare to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heaven and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; he was filthy and disorderly in the palace, killing the living beings; he was ruthless and unkind, and he was full of sins! Today, under the emperor's secret edict, a large number of righteous soldiers are gathered, vowing to wipe out the Central Plains , Suppress the group of murderers. I hope that the righteous army will rise and vent public anger together; support the royal family and save the people. When the day comes, please implement it quickly!"
Although everyone had already seen the content of the petition against thieves, it was said by Yuan Shao. It was impassioned and completely different from what it seemed, and it was quite exciting.
"Gong Yuan's impassioned speech against thieves has made us admire him. We are willing to follow Yuan Gong to eliminate the traitors in the country and help the Han Dynasty!"
Several people headed by Yuan Yi responded one after another, with expressions on their faces as if they had been given blood.
Qi Zhen found it quite funny to see it. People in ancient times were much more hypocritical than people today. Each of them seemed impassioned, but in fact they all had their own evil intentions. If Qi Zhen and others were not modern people, they would probably have exposed them. Infected by their attitudes, I thought they were all good people.
Qi Zhen's attention was divided into two parts. One part was listening to the princes singing on the handsome stage, and the other part was using her psychic communication skills to say hello to friends she hadn't seen for a long time.
Although everyone who appears here is actually the same person, on the surface, it is still difficult for others to see that they are very close to each other. When they first met, everyone just nodded and said hello. Thanks to Qi Zhen's spiritual communication. Skill, I can finally talk to them.
Among the allies, Tang Yi is a teammate who advances and retreats together. Needless to say, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang are all allies who Qi Zhen formed a camp after entering this game, especially Gongsun Zan. By the way, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.
Of course, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and Zhao Yun all had a place on the main seat, and their attention was almost entirely on Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat. Naturally, they could not communicate with Qi Zhen. Listening to the voice that sounded in the bottom of his heart, he became friendly with Qi Zhen. Zhen looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were different, especially Zhang Fei, who winked and looked very uncomfortable, as if he could hardly bear it and came up to give Qi Zhen a bear hug.
Qi Zhen quickly reassured the third brother not to be impulsive, and the joy on Qi Zhen's face was beyond words.
Guan Yu also had a smile in his eyes and kept stroking his beard. He felt extremely happy thinking about it.
As for Tang Yi, she didn't even look at Qi Zhen. She still had the same cold temperament, which made Qi Zhen a little bit dumbfounded.
It’s been such a long time since we last saw each other, and no one has changed much, which is great.
When Qi Zhen was thinking about these things, she heard someone from among the princes say: "This is a good statement, but it's just the emperor's secret edict mentioned in it. I wonder where it is now?"
"This..." Yuan Shao suddenly stopped talking, surprising everyone.
For a moment, the field fell silent, and you could hear a needle drop.
"The emperor's secret edict is here with me. Please accept it!" A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou.
Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, and a cold light suddenly appeared inside, but it returned to the original state in an instant.
All the princes, led by Yuan Shao, knelt on one knee and lay down, and Kong Min began to read the emperor's secret edict in the battle hall.
The edict was drafted by Zhuge Liang, so Qi Zhen naturally knew the contents very well, but at this time, all his attention was focused on the facial expressions of the people below.
After reading the edict, everyone stood up, but Yuan Yi said in confusion: "How did this edict from the emperor get into your hands?"
"To be honest with you, this is an edict." Kong Min said with a smile.
"Jiao Zhao..." Everyone was stunned, but they didn't feel angry after being teased. They waited quietly for the next step.
"It is precisely the edict that has been corrected. With this edict, we have achieved great justice. I will not hide it from you. Only by using this method can we be famous and save the emperor from danger." Kong Min continued.
Everyone secretly scolded Kong Ni for being cunning, but they kept saying it was true.
"Master Kong is thoughtful and right. He is truly a minister of my Han Dynasty and should be a role model for us." Yuan Shao said with a smile, but his face was neither sad nor happy.
The others naturally responded and flattered him.
"Okay, this is a joke. We need to set an agenda after all. Now that the coalition forces are divided in various places, I wonder how this army will attack?" Yuan Shao glanced at the audience and said softly.
"In my opinion, the most important thing now is to elect an alliance leader and unify the instructions." Yuan Yi continued.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent!
