The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The one who knelt down in front of Xun Zhen was the son of a permanent servant in the palace.

The permanent attendants in the palace have lived in Kyoto for a long time, and many of their clans and children live with them in Luoyang, and this person in front of Xun Zhen is one of them.

Therefore, he was not an **** and lived outside the palace, so he was lucky enough to escape this disaster and did not die in the chaos of the palace city. After the situation in Luoyang calmed down a little, he absconded from the city, although he was "absconding", wearing only ordinary people His clothes, but he has been pampered for a long time, his skin is moist and his face is red, and he has a big belly. Only the long beard under his chin is not something that an ordinary Qian head can wear. Therefore, Xin Ai sees through Xingzang at a glance, and he is suspected to be very human. After frightening him for a few words, he tricked it out truthfully.

Hearing that he was the son of a permanent servant in the palace, he was expected to know the truth about Luoyang, so Xin Ai took him to the front of Xun Zhen's ride.

Most of the facts that Xun Zhen had learned about the changing situation in Luoyang came from this person.

Xun Zhen asked, "Where is the Son of Heaven now?"

The man was trembling, did not dare to lift his head, fell on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "When the villain escaped from Luoyang, he heard people saying: After Zhang Changshi and others threw themselves into the river, the emperor and King Chenliu were in Lu Shangshu and Min. Ye's servants returned to the palace at night. The former general Dong Zhuo was in Xianyang Garden. Hearing the changes in Luoyang, he led his troops forward and arrived at the west of the city before dawn this morning. "

There are many gardens and forests around Luoyang, Xianyang Garden is one of them, in the west of the city. Dong Zhuo had previously stationed the army at the Sunset Pavilion. The Sunset Pavilion was also in the west of the city. From the Sunset Pavilion to Luoyang, Xianyang Garden was the place to pass by.

Beimang is located in the north of Luoyang City, that is, Mangshan Mountain. Since the burial of Chengyang King Liu, the clan brother of Emperor Guangwu of the previous dynasty, it has become the burial place of princes and princes. It is a famous tomb in the suburbs of Luoyang.

When Xun Zhen heard the name of Beimang, she suddenly remembered a Luoyang nursery rhyme that she read in a book in her previous life: "Di Fei Di, Wang Fei Wang, thousands of rides away Beimang." It is said that this nursery rhyme appeared in Before Yuan Shao blood-washed the palace city, he didn't know whether it was true or not.

——But the words will come back, even if this is true, it should be the same as the prophecies such as "Blood in the Two Palaces", "Luoyang Military Disaster", and earlier "Although Chu has three households, Qin will die in Chu". One or two of the countless wrong prophecies happen to be right.

"Ban" means hillside, slope, "Beimangban", that is to say, Dong Zhuo and others welcomed the Emperor and King Chenliu at the foot of Beimang Mountain.

Xun Zhen was speechless for a while.

He tightened his grip on the reins, looked at Luoyang City from afar, and said to himself, "After all your efforts, you are still one step too late for Dong Zhuo!"

It's not his fault.

There is a saying: take advantage of the situation. In an era, the role of the individual is actually limited. For the moment, the Han family is still the co-lord of the world. In the absence of the edict, he wants to lead the troops to enter the capital first, which is actually a lot of resistance. In other words, he Although he has the will and dares to ignore the majesty of the Han Dynasty for the sake of the people, others do not know that He Jin is about to die. , Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Jia, and others all oppose him, either explicitly or implicitly, to bringing private soldiers into the capital.

——Not only Zhong Yao and others, but also Yuan Shao. Although he was eager to punish the eunuch, how many days has it been since he was a high-ranking official? But it was just a few words, but there was no order that he summoned Xun Zhen to bring troops into the capital, that is to say, even Yuan Shao, who had been cornered, did not dare to take the risk of this world. Going forward, Huangfu Song led the male soldiers to defeat the Yellow Turbans, and his prestige was the same for a while, but because the Han family was the co-lord of the world, he first refused Yan Zhong's suggestion to persuade him to rebel, and then refused Huangfu Li's persuasion to him. The suggestion to attack and kill Dong Zhuo is nothing more than the former, and the latter, he would rather sit back and watch Dong Zhuo’s unpredictable intentions, and he would not kill him without an order. Four hundred years in the world, its mighty virtue is still unparalleled.

——Perhaps among the heroes and generals in the world, now there is only Dong Zhuo who dares to challenge the majesty of the Han Dynasty openly.

In short: do as the locals do.

It is really too difficult to challenge the "vulgarity" of the times with the strength of one person. It is as difficult as reaching the sky, and it is basically impossible to achieve.

Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao, Xun You, Cheng Jia and others were around Xun Zhen when they heard that Dong Zhuo led his troops to catch the Emperor and King Chen Liu, and their expressions changed.

Xun You asked, "How many troops did General Dong bring to Beimang?"

"This..., it's not clear, I just heard that the cavalry crowd is very prosperous."

"Is the Son of Heaven still in the palace now?"

"When the villain left Luoyang, he heard that the Son of Heaven was still on his way back to the palace."

Xin Ai, who was waiting by the side, saw that Xun Zhen and the others had nothing to say to the disciple who was always in the middle, so he asked Xun Zhen, "General, what should I do with him?"

When this man heard Xin Ai's words, his face turned pale, he bowed his head repeatedly, and said, "Although the little man is the son of a regular servant, he has always been in Beijing, but he strictly abides by the law and does not dare to disturb the people.

This person knew that the general on the opposite side was Xun Zhen. Although Xun Zhen had never entered Luoyang, his name had spread all over Luoyang. The nemesis of the eunuchs.

First, I heard that Yuan Shao washed the palace with blood, and then heard that Dong Zhuo's army welcomed the emperor. These two things were the first things that happened in this dynasty. Zhong Yao and the others didn't have the heart to pay attention to this person's life and death. The current situation.

Xun Zhen glanced at the man who was crouching in front of the horse, and instructed Xin Ai to say, "I am rushing to the capital today, but I met this man on the road. It is also fate. Since I have fate, ..., let's leave him as a corpse. ."

Xin Ai responded to the promise, raised his sword, stabbed the man to death, called two soldiers, dragged him to the side of the road, and left him behind.

Xun Zhen turned to Zhong Yao and said, "Yuanchang, you don't listen to me, and now General Dong welcomes the Son of Heaven.

Zhong Yao was full of fear and remorse, but still had a glimmer of hope, and said: "Although the great general is dead, but the officials are still there, and the Yuan Sili brothers have their own soldiers, General Dong has met the emperor and I expected that there should not be any domineering actions, right?"

After hearing Zhong Yao's words, Xun Zhen just smiled wryly.

Just as he couldn't blame him for not being able to enter the capital first, Zhong Yao couldn't blame him for having a fantasy about Dong Zhuo even though he was worried about Dong Zhuo.

Who called Dong Zhuo an anomaly in this world at the end of the Han Dynasty?

Since this dynasty, eunuchs and foreign relatives have taken turns in power, but because the foreign relatives do not have a deep foundation, they will suddenly rise and fall, so the two largest political groups are actually eunuchs and scholars. Those who are not on the number can only be regarded as dependents.

For example, Ding Yuan, although his army is strong and strong, and he has a lot of fierce generals, he can only rely on He Jin when He Jin is not dead. Therefore, whether it was He Jin or Yuan Shao, although they saw that Dong Zhuo had wolf ambitions, in fact they didn't care much about him and didn't take him as a potential threat.

At this time, Zhong Yao thought the same as He Jin and Yuan Shao.

But no one thought that after He Jin's death, after the **** fight between scholars and eunuchs, Dong Zhuo would dare to come out and fight for the power of the imperial court.

Xi Zhicai asked, "Jun Hou, what should I do now?"

Xun Zhen pondered for a moment, then said: "Mengjin is not far from the capital, and in the north of the city, Captain Ding should know about the changes in Kyoto... Junchang, you immediately gallop to the north of the city, look for Captain Ding, and after seeing him, But I said to him: I have long admired his reputation, and I really want to meet him."

Since they were unable to enter Luoyang ahead of Dong Zhuo, the most urgent task now is to unite the military forces in and around Luoyang City to form an allied force, in order to contain Dong Zhuo, so that he does not dare to act arbitrarily.

But, can you stop Dong Zhuo?

Xun Zhen was not sure about this.

First, he did not know how many troops Dong Zhuo brought to Luoyang.

Secondly, he and Ding Yuansu did not know each other, and he did not know whether Ding Yuan would agree to join forces with him.

Once again, even if Ding Yuan agreed to join forces with him, Ding Yuan was just a military commander, he was just a left-middle general, to contain or simply attack Dong Zhuo, that is, to start a war with troops around Kyoto or even in the city. , but it is not something that the two of them can decide. They must have the approval of the ministers in the court. Taking a step back, Yuan Shao must also come forward to take the lead.

Cheng Jia was witty. As soon as he heard Xun Zhen's words, he understood what Xun Zhen meant. He knew that Xun Zhen wanted to join forces with Ding Yuan to fight against Dong Zhuo, and he immediately agreed. The matter was of great importance, so he didn't stay any longer. He summoned dozens of cavalry guards, Yu immediately surrendered to Xun Zhen, and immediately left the army and headed north of Luoyang City~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to find Ding Yuan.

"Yu Lang, you have selected a number of capable and shrewd knights... No, you passed my army order and ordered A Bao to immediately go outside Luoyang City to find the traces of General Dong. Know how many people he brought to Luoyang."

Chen Bao is smart, and Xun Zhen can rest assured only if he handles this matter.

Xin Ai got the order and went to find Chen Bao's order.

Xun Zhen looked back to the northeast, and then instructed Xun You: "Gongda, you have to work harder, go to Chenggao and look for Qiaodong County. If the Qiaodong County is still garrisoned, you can tell him the situation in Luoyang in detail, and then say I said: I would ask him to bring troops to Luoyang immediately to prevent General Dong from arbitrarily destabilizing the government."

Qiao Mao was a son of the clan, a scholar and a famous person, and Xun You was the most suitable person to meet him.

However, just like Ding Yuan, Xun Zhen and Qiao Mao did not know each other at all, and they did not know if Qiao Mao would lead troops to Luo because of his words.

If Qiao Mao is willing to bring troops to Luoyang, and if Ding Yuan is willing to join forces with Xun Zhen, and if Yuan Shao is willing to take the lead, then the number of troops and horses will be combined, plus the existing Hu Ben, Yulin, North Army, West Army in Luoyang City Garden, Chengmen, Tiqi and other troops, as well as the parts left by He Jin and He Miao, then even if Dong Zhuo brought Wanqi into the capital, these forces would be enough to suppress him.

But, will things go so smoothly?

Xun Zhen didn't know what to do, and in his anxiety, he glanced at Luoyang again. Here, twenty or thirty kilometers away from Luoyang, the tall city walls of Luoyang could already be seen, and the towering palaces and gates in Luoyang city were visible. He passed the order. : "The whole army rushes to Luoyang!"
