Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 261

In the first year of Guangxi, the last ten days of July.

With the finalization of Zhi Jin Wu and Zhi Jin Wu Cheng, the situation in Luoyang City can be regarded as going through the most chaotic period, and gradually stabilized, even if it is only temporarily stable, it can be regarded as a period of stability.

However, the death of the first emperor, the succession of the new emperor, and the alternation between the emperors will not only affect Luoyang Guanzhong, but also the whole world. Whether Emperor Guangxi can stabilize the world depends on whether people in the world recognize it or not. .

The news that the new king ascended the throne and the world changed to Yuan Guangxi had already been circulated through official documents, and the news had been disseminated for nearly two months. Even in the borderlands, the state shepherds, governors, and prefects of all parties responded one after another.

Yizhou.

Mianzhu City.

This is a big city, and it is one of the best cities in Yizhou. This city obviously experienced a big battle not long ago. There are bloodstains on the walls, traces of arrows inserted, and many houses in the city were also destroyed. , Countless folks are building it.

On the top of the city, a middle-aged man wearing a battle armor and a cloak, with a raised body, stood on it, looking far away, looking in the direction of Luoyang City.

His eyes were long and deep, as if he could see the majestic and majestic Luoyang imperial capital, and he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "The chaos in Luoyang, the death of He Jin, the King Fangqin, What a big show, now that Bian'er is on the throne, Mushan is the Grand Tutor, Xiliang Dong Zhuo is the Grand Sima, the three ministers have no military power, the monarch is weak but the ministers are strong, our great Han country is about to fall apart again!"

This is Yizhou Mu, Liu Yan, the clan of the Han Dynasty, and the descendant of King Lu Gong of the Han Dynasty.

He not only got the official documents of the court, but also got all the news before and after the Luoyang Rebellion.

In fact, Liu Yan is not considered outstanding in the clan, and has always been low-key. In the name of Zongzheng, he supported the Han Dynasty, but his four words have dug up the history of the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

In the final analysis, the governor is just a supervisory power.

However, the state herdsman holds the military and political power of a state, which can be regarded as the control of one side of the land, and is the prime minister of the princes.

Because of his proposal, he also benefited from it.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the governor of Yizhou was frugal and frugal in Yizhou. Greed prevailed. He was sued to the court. The emperor was furious. He just accepted Liu Yan's suggestion of "abolishing the history and establishing a herdsman". , was granted the title of Marquis of Yangcheng, and ordered him to go to Yizhou to arrest Xi Jian and rectify the administration of officials.

Liu Yan went south, settled in Yizhou, and formally took charge of Yizhou's military and political affairs.

"Lord!"

A scribe came up and bowed his hands in salute.

This is Yizhou engaged in Jialong.

In fact, Liu Yan's road to Yizhou was not very smooth, and the governor of Yizhou was frugal. It was not a big problem, but Qu Shuai and Ma Xiang of the Yellow Turban of Yizhou took advantage of this gap to start an incident in Mianzhu in the fifth year of Zhongping. He defeated Yizhou, Qianwei, Berkshire, etc., killed the governor of Yizhou, Quejian, and controlled most of Yizhou.

At that time, Liu Yan had just entered Hanzhong from Nanyang, and when he arrived in Hanzhong, he was forced to stop when he heard the news.

Just when he was hesitant to enter Yizhou, Jia Long, who was in charge of Yizhou, raised troops against Ma Xiang and welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou.

Liu Yan took advantage of the situation and, as a shepherd of Yizhou, summoned various ministries in Yizhou to send troops to quell the chaos.

After nearly a year of quelling the rebellion, Ma Xiang's Yellow Turban Rebellion was finally put down, and Ma Xiang was personally beheaded by Jia Long's army. Liu Yan was proud to move into Mianzhu and completely control the land of Yizhou.

Therefore, it is said that Jia Long is the biggest contributor to Liu Yan's settlement in Yizhou, so Liu Yan trusts him very much and confides his heart to him.

"Bokang, this is the imperial edict of the new emperor, please read it!" Liu Yan handed him an official document in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

Jia Long, courtesy name Bokang, although he was talented in military and military affairs, he was born as a civil official and was good at civil and political affairs, so Liu Yan discussed with him regardless of military and political affairs, and relied on him very much.

"The first year of Guangxi?"

Jia Long looked at the beginning of the official document and frowned slightly.

"Dang Dynasty Guangxi!" Liu Yan said.

Jia Long continued to look, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said: "My lord, although the new king has succeeded to the throne in the current court, the government is still in the hands of the powerful ministers. Taifu Mushan and Da Sima Dong Zhuo are not good people. , fear of catastrophe!"

"Then how do you think someone should respond?"

Liu Yan asked.

He intended to go to Jiaozhou to avoid disaster, but at the beginning Dong Fu advised him that Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor, so he made up his mind to come to Yizhou, and he also has ambitions. After the Han Gaozu, the great Han clan, why can't he be emperor.

His eyes flickered with a sharp light, and Yizhou was flattened. He has more than [-] soldiers and horses, and he owns the land of abundance in Yizhou. As long as he can go out of Shu Road and enter Guanzhong, he may not be the second Han Gaozu.

Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, went out from here and became the lord of the world.

"The son of heaven is dead, and the crown prince is orthodox. There is nothing wrong with it. King Qin has nothing to say, and he is not recognized by the world. The lord must not stand out. Today, Yizhou is in a state of war. treat!"

Jia Long remonstrated.

"Liu Bian is just a child of Huangkou. How to stabilize the great Han Dynasty is just to let the side officials usurp the power. I am a member of the Han family, why can't I go north!" Liu Yan said coldly.

"My lord, the foundation of the Han Dynasty is still stable. The crown prince ascended the throne, and his name is justified. If you raise troops to go north, it will not be the merit of the king, but the crime of rebellion. When the world attacks, I don't know if the lord can stop it!" Jia Long earnestly advised.

"This..." Liu Yan heard the words, and when he thought of that scene, he shuddered. He shuddered and said, "I was too complacent, or Bokang was right to advise me!"

"My lord, at the time of Guangxi, the general situation is fixed and irreversible. We need to respond to the order of the imperial court and send envoys to Beijing to show Yizhou's loyalty and relieve the court's worries, so that we can stabilize the situation in Yizhou!" Jia Long said .

"What if the Son of Heaven gives an order to take away my prefecture position and order me to go north and return to Beijing?" Liu Yan asked worriedly.

"The lord's sons, except for the third son, are all in the capital. Compared with the peace of the court, as long as the lord shows his loyalty to the court and explains the situation in Yizhou, as long as the court doesn't want Yizhou to be in chaos, the lord will not be dismissed from his post! "

Jia Long thought for a while, and said: "If the court is really afraid of the lord, Long has another plan, which is to serve the lord!"

"Say!"

"Although Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, supports the lord to raise troops, he is a bit domineering after all. The lord can use Zhang Lu to lead the army to defeat him!"

"Zhang Lu?"

Liu Yan narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Lu of the Five Dou Rice Sect!"

He remembered this person, because when he was in Hanzhong, he got a beauty. This beauty was Zhang Lu's mother.

"It's this person!" Jia Long said: "My lord, although this person is not very old, he is good at manipulating people's hearts and is full of ambitions. If he goes to Hanzhong, he will definitely mess up the land of Hanzhong. In order to exchange news with the imperial court, Yizhou can be stabilized with peace of mind!"

"Isn't that the loss of Hanzhong?"

"If you lose one Hanzhong, you can get Yizhou. My lord should understand which is more important!" Jia Long is a Yizhou gentry, and it was the decision of the Yizhou gentry that he flocked to Liu Yan. Zhang Lu is not enough to accomplish anything, the lord is usable and fair, but what a pity to use him to deal with the court!"

"Since ancient times, it has become a big event, regardless of the small details!"

Liu Yan said: "This matter will be done according to your words. You can arrange it. In addition, the key is Ren Qi, the prefect, to rectify the remnants of the captives, recruit refugees from all sides, and send them to Shu County. Some people want to reorganize the Yizhou Army for a whole year. , Build a powerful army, call it Dongzhou Army!"

He didn't wait for Jia Long to agree, turned his head to look at the Mianzhu City, and said: "Mianzhu is dilapidated, it is not suitable for Yizhou to govern, we are going to go south to Chengdu, and based on Chengdu, we can see the situation of Yizhou!"

"promise!"

Jia Long took a deep look at Liu Yan. It was only natural for Liu Yan to take charge of the military power himself. After thinking about it, he did not object.

……

……

Youzhou.

Thistle City.

In the city, there is a majestic mansion with a plaque on it, Youzhou State Shepherd's Mansion.

In the mansion, in a large hall, a refined man was kneeling above the head, holding a scroll in his hand, his expression seemed a little melancholy, his eyes were deep like abysses: "Brother Huang is still going!"

He is Liu Yu, Shepherd of Youzhou.

Liu Yu is different from Liu Yan. Liu Yu and the emperor Liu Hong have a deeper relationship. In terms of blood, they are closer after being Emperor Guangwu. In terms of seniority, he is Liu Hong's cousin, that is, the emperor Liu Bian's uncle today. Uncle Huang.

"My lord, the new king is taking the throne, and I am afraid that the world will be uneasy. Now I have issued an imperial edict to my lord. Is it to remove my lord?" Baima Zhonglang asked Gongsun Zan, holding his hand.

At this time, Gongsun Zan was under the command of Liu Yu, and had just quelled the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in Zhongshan. He alone led three thousand white horse rebels, and attacked the Wuhuan cavalry three hundred miles away from the grassland to the north, forcing the leader of Wuhuan, Qiu Liju, to surrender to Liu Yu. , won a complete victory, and the momentum is in full swing, and he has not turned against Liu Yu yet, but he is the most powerful general under Liu Yu's command.

"It's impossible to dismiss!"

Liu Yu was gentle and kind, and said with a smile: "Although the new king has succeeded to the throne, the world has not yet recognized it, and the current situation in northern Xinjiang is even more subtle. As long as your majesty is not confused, he will not dismiss me from my position. He still needs me to serve him. Guard Youzhou, but there are checks and balances!"

"My lord, I'm afraid what the imperial court thinks is just your lord's approval of the new king!"

Scholar Yan Rou stood up. As the chief historian of Youzhou Mufu, he is a counselor of Liu Yu's lineage. He cupped his hands and said, "The chaos between Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju has been settled, but our situation in northern Xinjiang is still in chaos. Your Excellency is dealing with the situation of Xianbei and Wuhuan at this time, and is no longer able to deal with the situation in the imperial court. At this time, you still need to flatter the new emperor so that we will have no worries!"

The rebellion in northern Xinjiang has never stopped since the Yellow Turban Uprising. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhang Chun, the former minister of Zhongshan, and Zhang Ju, the former prefect of Taishan, allied with Lord Wuhuan, launched a rebellion, and attacked under Jicheng. Burned down the city walls, captured the common people, killed and defended Wuhuan School Wei Jichou, Youbeiping Taishou Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yang Zhong, etc. The number of troops reached more than [-], and they were stationed in Feiru.

Zhang Ju claimed to be the "Son of Heaven", and Zhang Chun called himself "General Mitian and King Anding", and sent letters to various states and counties, saying that they would replace the Han Dynasty.Zhang Chun also sent 5 troops, including King Wuhuanqiao, into Qing and Ji prefectures, broke through Qinghe and plains, and killed officials and people.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Duqiwei Gongsun Zan was defeated in consecutive battles, so the emperor ordered Liu Yu to be the shepherd of Youzhou, commanding the military and administration of Youzhou, and quelling the chaos in Youzhou.

After Liu Yu was stationed in Youzhou, he rectified the military administration, summoned the young and strong, and trained troops on a large scale. He sent his servant Yan Rou to Xianbei, persuaded Xianbei to send troops, and attacked from the north and the south. , to suppress the situation.

But today's Youzhou has not yet settled down in peace. Whether it is the tribe of the Wuhuan Three Kings or the tribes of Xianbei, they are all ready to move.

"Emperor Guangxi!"

The weak appearance of Liu Bian in the past appeared in Liu Yu's mind, and he couldn't help sighing: "The crown prince's ascension to the throne is orthodox, and a certain Hanchen must be a gentleman, and the heart of the court will be settled, and the situation in Youzhou will be stabilized. Liu He is the envoy of Youzhou, and he will come to Beijing to face the saint!"

Liu He is his only son.

Letting his only son enter Beijing not only showed his loyalty to the imperial court, but also represented Liu Yu's approval of the new Emperor Guangxi.
