Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211
Dong Zhuo poisoned Queen Hongnong and changed Yuan Chuping. Since then, he has been in charge of the government alone, and no civil or military dare to disobey it.

In the first month of that year, the Mushou of the counties and counties in the Kanto region raised troops to challenge Dong, and Yuan Shao also gathered under the Wenwu army, leading [-] troops, and left Bohai to Hanoi to join the prefect Wang Kuang.

Wang Kuang met Yuan Shao ten miles away and said with emotion: "I haven't seen Duke Ming for a long time since he killed the eunuchs. I heard that Dong Zhuo was arbitrarily discussing the abolition of the throne in the palace. Duke Ming drew his sword and faced the traitor Dong at the banquet. How heroic. Zai?"

This Wang Kuang was originally from Taishan, Yanzhou. He was deployed by He Jin and returned to his hometown to conscript under He Jin's order. He Jin was killed before he arrived in the capital. All eunuchs.

Yuan Shao laughed triumphantly and said, "Hahaha, does Gongjie also know about this?"

Wang Kuang said with a smile: "This matter has already been spread all over the world. Who doesn't know that Duke Ming is full of courage and a sincere heart?"

Yuan Shao Fuxu sighed: "If Dong Bandit hadn't been guarded by generals back then, I would have wiped out this country bandit with a sword, and I wouldn't be in the trouble I am today."

Wang Kuang followed Yuan Shao and walked into the city, saying: "Nowadays all heroes in the world hate Bandit Dong, and they have recruited volunteer soldiers to fight against him. This is enough to comfort the general's lifelong wish."

Yuan Shao shook his head: "Now I'm just a mere governor of Bohai Sea, how can I eradicate thieves all by myself?"

When all the people came to the city, Wang Kuang had already ordered people to set up a banquet. During the banquet, he said: "Duke Ming had the merit of killing eunuchs before, and later he had the feat of resisting Dong Dong. Let me ask you the courage and heroism of the princes, who can compare with Duke Ming? What’s more, there are four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, and many princes have come under the Yuan family. This time, it is none other than Duke Ming who is giving orders to the princes!"

"Oh?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment while twisting his beard, and said with a frown: "Among the princes, Cao Mengde will definitely listen to my plan, but the Anbei General Liu He, who first launched a volunteer army, defeated the Xiliang Army, and killed Hu. Zhen took Xingyang, and his prestige is quite high, his name is still higher than mine, and he is also a relative of the Han family, so he may not listen to my orders."

"Then Liu He has been promoted by Dong Zhuo to be the servant of the Huangmen, so he is not a general!" Wang Kuang said with a smile: "All the princes will come to Henan in a few days, and they must meet. We will only call him the servant at the banquet, and then we will call him Let's humiliate him and see how he still leads the army?"

"Hahaha, this plan is very clever," Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and asked again: "What plan should be used to suppress Liu He, it is best to discredit this person, and have no face to sit with the princes."

Wang Kuangyan said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term, please, Mr. Ming!"

Yuan Shao toasted to each other. He would never be willing to stay in Bohai this time. Dong Zhuo's chaos in the country is a good opportunity to do great things, so naturally he should make good use of it.

Not a day later, Cao Cao sent someone to deliver a letter. All the soldiers and horses, all the civil servants and military generals, have arrived one after another. They agreed to meet in Suanzao to discuss Dong's affairs. Please arrive in three days.

Yuan Shao said: "Hanoi is the place where you and I stockpile grain, and there is no room for loss. You need to send troops to guard against Dong Zhuo's crossing the river."

Wang Kuangyan said: "I have made my own arrangements for this matter. Don't worry about Ming Gong and prepare your troops. We will rush to Suanzao tomorrow."

Then he sent soldiers and horses led by Han Hao to garrison Mengjin, and sent the previously recruited Taishan soldiers to Heyangjin to garrison the river bank to guard against Dong Zhuo's soldiers.

The next day, with only [-] soldiers under the command of Hanoi's famous general Fang Yue, they crossed the south of the river with Yuan Shao and rushed to Suanzao to form an alliance with the princes.

At this time, the territory of Suanzao was already full of flames of war, and people from all walks of life set up camp here, connecting more than two hundred miles. Cao Cao and Qiaomao were responsible for meeting the princes from all walks of life, and Chen Liuwei sent countless money and food. .

When Yuan Shao arrived in Suanzao, he first met with Cao Cao, and after a while, he came to meet with Han Fu to discuss the suppression of Liu He.

Han Fu sent troops this time to help Yuan Shao with [-] troops, but found that he did not have a general under his command, so he quickly recruited warriors, but where can he find the general in command?
At this time, Cheng Pu, the Prime Minister of Zhongshan, sent 1000 troops, expressing his willingness to go to the Central Plains with Han Fu. Han Fu was overjoyed, thinking that Cheng Pu, seeing Liu Yu and his son losing power, changed his mind, rewarded the army, and led them to Suanzao.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses left quietly the next day, leaving behind a letter stating that their trip was to challenge Dong and that they would advance and retreat with Liu He. Han Fu was so angry that he didn't eat anything for the whole day.

At this time Yuan Shao came to discuss, Han Fu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't say that you are suppressing Liu He, even if you kill this person, I am willing to help."

Wang Kuangyan said: "On the way, I have thought of a plan. I will definitely make Liu He lose face and never meet the princes from all walks of life again."

Han Fu hurriedly asked: "The plan will be released?"

Wang Kuang smiled coldly, and called Yuan Shao and Han Fu closer, and the three discussed together how to humiliate Liu He at the banquet.

Not long after, the hour came, and the drums sounded. Yuan Shao and others came to the main tent of the Chinese army, and saw that all the soldiers and horses had already expired, and they all dressed up differently.

When Yuan Shao entered the tent, he saw a group of people gathered on his left hand, seeming to be discussing something, some clapped their hands, some laughed up to the sky, the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Yuan Shao's arrival naturally caused a commotion, everyone came to salute one after another, the crowd dispersed, and saw Cao Cao was chatting and joking with a young man, he was very popular, talking and laughing freely.

"Brother Benchu ​​came just in time, hurry up, let me introduce you!" Cao Cao hurried over when he saw Yuan Shao, pulled him forward, and said with a smile: "This person is the Anbei General Liu He who initiated the volunteer army. You really are a young hero!"

"Young hero?" Yuan Shao frowned slightly, clasped his fists and said, "I heard that General Liu has been promoted to be the servant of the Yellow Gate, and I have admired him for a long time."

"This is Dong Zhuo's plan!" Liu He shook his head and smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Yuan Gong punished and killed the Ten Permanent Attendants. His contribution lies in the country, and he has long admired his name."

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had been getting along since childhood, and suddenly he noticed something was wrong with Yuan Shao's expression, so he quickly said: "Dong Zhuo is bullying the heaven and the earth, and is ruthless. We have gathered righteous soldiers to fight against the thieves, all in order to support the royal family and save the people, so we should work together. "

At that moment, several other princes were introduced, and then everyone was invited to sit down. There was no head seat in the tent. Liu He was on the left hand, Yuan Shao was on the right hand, and Liu Bei was under Liu He. Cao Cao first asked Yuan Shu to sit under Yuan Shao , I only take my seat, and everyone else takes their seats according to their rankings.

Cao Cao said: "The meeting with you today is to discuss the strategy of advancing troops. I hope that the country's thieves can be wiped out as soon as possible, and the group of murderers will be wiped out to vent public anger. What good strategy do you have?"

Wang Kuangyan said: "We are upholding righteousness and heroes gathered together. We foolishly thought that we should set up a leader first, and everyone will obey the restraint and order to unify, so that we can march into the army."

Everyone nodded one after another, discussing who should be the leader of the alliance, and Liu He and Yuan Shao naturally became the focus of discussion.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at the two men at the top, and seeing Liu He's expression was calm, with no intention of fighting for advancement, but Yuan Shao's eyes were sharp, looking at Liu He from time to time, even with some hostility, he couldn't help frowning.

Wang Wang Wang --

At this moment, a dog barked suddenly at the door of the tent, and a big gray dog ​​ran in from the outside, sticking out its red tongue, and ran straight to the main seat.
