Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 201 Dare to be the first in the world

In autumn, there was a heavy rain and the weather turned cold. Liu He also had an excuse to station troops in Aocang to wait for the change in the court.

Sure enough, in less than half a month, Dong Zhuo lured Lu Bu to kill Zhijinwu Dingyuan, annexed the state army, and took control of all the military power in Luoyang from then on. But no one dared to speak.

Dong Zhuo autocratic government affairs, poisoned the Queen Mother He, recruited celebrities, recruited talents for his own use, and appointed many officials to local posts, such as Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, in order to consolidate his position.

Xiliang soldiers were unscrupulous in Luoyang, robbing wealthy households, looting property, bullying women and children, and harming common people.

On this day, Zheng Hun was listening to Dong Zhuo's evil deeds, and suddenly a messenger came to report that the imperial court named Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, as the Great Sima and the Marquis of Xiangben, and ordered Liu Yu to send Liu He into the palace to assist the emperor. Letters were also sent together.

Liu He sighed: "Dong Zhuo, the thief, saw that I refused to enter the palace, so he attacked my father. Now that the king's order and the father's order are in my body, I have no choice!"

Cheng Yu said: "Dong Zhuo relied on the power of the military to disrupt the country and defeat the government, and acted against the will. This is the road to self-destruction. Why doesn't the general raise his arms and shout, gathering the heroes of the world to fight against rebellion?"

Liu He always felt that the time was not mature enough. At this time, Liu Dai and other major princes who opposed Dong had just taken office and did not have much strength. If he became the leader, would he become cannon fodder?
Seeing Liu He's hesitation, Zheng Hun said: "The general and your father Weicheng Yanbei, Liu Gong governs the people with benevolence and virtue, and the general defends the country with loyalty and courage. There are still experienced ministers in the court, and we also have the heart to wear Han. General If you can raise an army to fight against the thieves, if you are not talented, I would like to do the work of a dog and a horse, and all the grain and grass in this Ao granary will be used by the general."

"Okay!" Liu He saw that Zheng Hun was like this, and it probably represented the aspirations of some officials and common people. He immediately made up his mind, stood up and said, "This is the end of the matter. If I don't ask for rebellion, I will become an unfaithful and unfilial person. Dong Zhuo Chaos of power will cause the world to gnash their teeth, and I shall be the first in the world!"

"It's good to be the first in the world!" Zheng Hun praised, clasped his fists and said: "Dong Thief deceived the king and harmed the people, and the general helped the country with his strength. People of insight in the world should respond naturally."

Liu He nodded slowly. At this time, he finally changed his original idea of ​​passively waiting for the opportunity. Instead of waiting for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to start an uprising, he might as well take action himself. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, this first name of helping the Han Dynasty will definitely benefit in the future. endless.

Originally in this troubled world, he was trembling, fearing that if he made a mistake, he would disrupt the order of this era and make himself at a loss as to what to do.

But now that you have the strength to compete for hegemony, you don't need to refer to history. As long as you know how to recognize and employ people, you can compete with the heroes of the world. History is created by people, and it is time to seize the opportunity.

After making up his mind, Liu He suddenly felt a surge of pride in his chest. From now on, no matter how the other princes develop, as long as they fight steadily, they will be invincible.

At the moment, Zheng Hun was asked to draft a call to action to attack Dong Zhuo in the name of being the first in the world. At the same time, he asked Zheng Hun to add a famous saying at the end of the article: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later.

This is the sentiment that every person with lofty ideals who persists in forging ahead and takes the world as his own responsibility should have. Although it is difficult for many people to reach such a high level as Fan Zhongyan, it will definitely arouse countless resonances.

Before the proclamation was issued, Zhang Yun, who was in charge of guarding, came to report. Hu Zhen sent [-] elite soldiers to the territory of Aoshan, and sent someone to send an order to escort Liu He into the palace to help protect the new emperor.

Liu He sneered: "It seems that Dong Zhuo is going to be recruited forcibly, just to show them our strength."

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "The general is the first to defeat the rebels. If you can defeat Dong Zhuo's army, it will inspire people's hearts, and win Dong's heart with a strong hero!"

Liu He laughed and said, "Hahaha, okay, then I'll be the first one to eat crabs!"

Zhang He was startled, and said: "I live in Hejian, and I often eat crabs. The general is not No. 1."

Liu He laughed dryly, not knowing how to explain it, Cheng Yu said with a smile: "This is an allusion. The allusion comes from "Hanwudong Mingji" written by Guo Xian in the Guangwu period, and it also has the meaning of daring to be the first in the world!"

Zheng Hun heard it from the side, and sighed with emotion: "Unexpectedly, General Liu has outstanding martial arts skills and can read a lot of books. There are many absurd things recorded here, and the general has dabbled in it."

Liu He didn't expect that this random sentence actually had an allusion, but he was confused, so he could only smile and didn't explain much.

Cheng Yu glanced at Liu He, and suddenly said: "Mr. Wen doesn't know something. Generals often follow the example of their ancestors and emperors, and admire his literary and martial arts. Therefore, the government orders and classics of the Guangwu period have been dabbled in, in order to imitate their ancestors. Kuang Fu Han Dynasty too!"

"So that's how it is!" Zheng Hun's eyes flickered for a while, he stroked his beard and looked at Liu He, nodded and said: "The general has such lofty ambitions, the Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated, and the one who will bring peace to the world is none other than the general!"

"One person's power is limited after all, and we still need everyone's help." Liu He said a few words modestly, but felt very comfortable in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu, this kind of thing can also be involved in allusions and Liu Xiu, and it is really beneficial to have a counselor by his side.

Zheng Hun was originally from Kaifeng, and he had a very wide network of contacts in Xingyang. There was a famous scholar Zheng Tai as his elder brother, and he sent someone to send the message to the public.

It was noon, the autumn air was crisp, the sun was shining brightly, the grass and trees in the fields were turning yellow, and the maple leaves were dotted with bright red in the mountains.

Under the autumn scenery, it is the battlefield of Bingjia Yaori.

Liu He led the troops to the edge of the Jishui River, and saw a group of soldiers and horses in front of them with bright armor and a well-organized lineup. The momentum of the Xiliang Army was indeed different from that of the original opponents.

Hu Zhen sent his cavalry governor, Hu Chang, to pick them up. Seeing that Liu He had led the troops out of the city, Hu Chang was furious, urged his horse to stand on the bridge, and shouted: "Liu He, Your Majesty has a decree, ordering you to enter the palace immediately to accompany you. You lead the troops out of the city, do you want to resist the order?"

Liu He hurried forward, came to the bridge and sneered, "I don't know if this will be done by His Majesty, or by that traitor Dong? Now that the treacherous officials are in power and the royal family is overthrown, I want to beg for the thief, and I will take you as a lackey first." Sacrifice the flag."

"Hahaha, what a big tone!" Hu Chang looked up to the sky and laughed, pointing at Liu He and scolding: "Liu He, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, if you dare to disobey Dong Gong's order, you will die without a place to bury you. I hope you will respect yourself. "

"Hmph, how dare an unknown person bark here?" Liu He smiled coldly, turned around and shouted, "Who can capture him?"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow flashed by, flew straight to the bridge like a meteor, and arrived in front of Hu Chang in a blink of an eye.

Hu Chang was startled, and quickly raised his gun and asked, "You... who are you?"

"Yanbei Zhang Yide is here, how dare he talk?"

Hu Chang's eardrums went numb with a loud shout in front of him. Before he could raise his gun to parry, Zhang Fei rode his horse with his spear, pierced his heart, and picked him up in the air.
