I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 324, It is not difficult to kill the emperor

So when Jushou came to Chang'an City to find Yuan Shao, he wanted to ask Yuan Shao to mobilize the court's relationship to help Jizhou survive this calamity!
But Yuan Shao could only smile bitterly and said, "Now I can't protect myself, and I'm powerless to help Jizhou!"

Xu You said: "This matter should be handed over to the imperial court. Tomorrow, at the beginning of the day, you will go to the court with a note to let the imperial court know how powerful Lei Gong is, and let His Majesty know that we are indispensable to keep the great man's country!"

So the next day Yuan Shao brought Jushou to Weiyang Palace!

Ju Shou talked about the current situation in Jizhou in front of civil and military officials, and begged: "Your Majesty, Lei Gong led an army of 20 to attack Jizhou. Now only you and the imperial court can save Jizhou!"

Yang Biao immediately said in surprise, "Did Mr. Lei really attack Jizhou?"

Ju Shou said: "We have been fighting for more than a month. Before I left Jizhou, 4 to 5 troops had been wiped out by Lei Gong. Zhongshan and Hejian were already in danger. We are no match for Lei Gong. We can only ask the court for help! "

Zhang Wen worried: "What can we do? The imperial court has not yet defeated the Xiliang rebels, and there is no military force to support Jizhou. It will be dangerous if Jizhou is annexed by Lei Gong!"

Cui Lie said loudly: "The imperial court can't continue to fight the Xiliang rebels. They wanted to flee back to Xiliang, so the imperial court should let them escape to Xiliang. If you lose Jizhou, the Tengjia Army will completely solve the problem of food and grass, and it will be difficult for the court to restrict Lei Gong! With Lei Gong's attitude towards the nobles, we will all die. The place of burial!"

Cui Lie's family is in Jizhou. At the beginning, he agreed with Yang Biao and Zhang Wen to remove Dong Zhuo because Dong Zhuo had prevented them from expanding their power to deal with Lei Gong.

But if he knew that removing Dong Zhuo would become such a mess, he would not want to remove Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo was there, the court could barely suppress the Quartet, but now the whole Han Dynasty is in chaos. Cui Lie was dying of regret for sending out a reinforcement.If Dong Zhuo is not removed, the court can at least send 20 to 30 troops to support Jizhou, but now these troops are all killing each other in Guanzhong!
The other civil and military officials were a little panicked. These years, the imperial court has been fighting against Lei Gong repeatedly and repeatedly. Back then, the whole big man supported him, and even Huangfusong, the number one general of the big man, failed to defeat Lei Gong. A Jizhou came to resist the attack of the Tengjia Army. Even though these officials are not familiar with military affairs, they also know that the Jizhou Army must not be able to defeat Lei Gong. However, Lei Gong has a lot of cavalry. After Jizhou is conquered, it is even more impossible for the Central Plains to resist Lei Gong. This big man The world is not in danger!
"Hurry up, recall Shang Shuling Zhu Jun and Zhennan General Liu Bei, and let them lead the army to defend Chang'an City!" Many officials panicked, there was still time to manage the affairs of Jizhou, they were afraid that the Tengjia Army would rush to Chang'an and kill them all up!
"If you want to move the capital, keep going south. Luoyang City is not safe anymore, and Chang'an City is not safe either! It will take up to five days for Lei Gong's cavalry to attack Chang'an City from Shangjun. Chang'an is too unsafe. We want to move the capital to Nanyang County!"

At this time, Zhao Qi said angrily: "Why panic, Lei Gong's army is still thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and they still can't reach Chang'an!"

Then Zhao Qi said to Emperor Xian: "Your Majesty, you should immediately explain the situation in Jizhou to Shang Shuling Zhu Jun and Zhennan General Liu Bei. the most important!"

Immediately Emperor Xian said: "Yes, yes, yes, the order is to recruit Liu Bei, the general of Zhennan, and the minister orders Zhu Jun to return to the court!"

Emperor Xian had a very poor sense of Yuan Shao, he keenly felt Yuan Shao's arrival, Yang Biao and the others began to be disrespectful to him again, for the current Emperor Xian, only Liu Bei could feel safe by his side!
And Yang Biao and the others did not stop them. To deal with Lei Gong, the court can only rely on Liu Bei and Zhu Jun, two famous generals. They have no way to change the current predicament!
After the court, Yuan Shao found his counselor and said: "Your Majesty is obviously still angry with us for attacking the court, and also blamed me for the death of Queen Mother Dong and Dong Zhong! In the current situation, we want to be in charge of the great man. Authority may be very difficult!"

Yuan Shao regrets King Qin a little now, he doesn’t want to stay in Chang’an City anymore, even Emperor Xian has malicious intentions towards him, and he only has 3 troops in his hands, which is far from the 20 troops of the imperial court. He is really worried that Liu Bei will imprison them In Chang'an City, his Wangtu hegemony will be over by then!
Xu You and the others are not easy to refute, because there is nothing wrong with it. Although it was He Jun who killed Dong Zhong and forced the Queen Mother Dong to death, Yuan Shao was the mastermind of He Jun at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Shao planned it in advance. , and Yuan Wei was also the imperial court's Taifu at that time, if he and He Jin hadn't allied Dong Zhong and Dong Queen Mother, they wouldn't have been killed by He Jin so easily.So now that Emperor Xian wanted to take revenge on Yuan Shao, he really didn't find the wrong person!
Xu You said to himself: "At the beginning, I was too worried. Your Majesty is just a child who is still an adult. He knows what state affairs, and his opinions in the court are the least important. The ones who can really decide the court's movements are Liu Bei and Zhu Jun who control the military power. Two people, and the situation in Jizhou is extremely critical now, Liu Bei and Zhu Jun know that they need our help if they want to fight against Lei Gong!"

"The more it is at this time, the more you have to calm down at the beginning. As long as we control Henan Yin, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, Liu Bei and the others will know that the imperial court cannot lack our power now! We even have to contact Yuan Shu in Yangzhou. Liu Yan from Zhouzhou, Tao Qian from Xuzhou, Cao Cao from Qingzhou, let the imperial court see our strength and know our strength!"

"As for your majesty's malice towards the original, don't care about it. There are less than 10 emperors in this dynasty who can live to adulthood, so your majesty may not be able to live to adulthood!"

Xu You's words made Xun Kan's face ugly. Although they supported Yuan Shao, it was difficult for them to accept Xu You's blatant words of assassinating the king!

It was Xu You's words that made Yuan Shao's eyes shine.

Yes!Emperor Xian has malice towards him, as long as Emperor Xian is killed, another emperor who has no malice towards him will be fine!It is not too difficult to kill an underage emperor in Dahan!

Xu You continued: "For us, the most important thing now is to win over Yuan Shu, Liu Yan and others. Tao Qian in Xuzhou has never been with us, so we will let the highway occupy Xuzhou. Support us, and the only thing to be afraid of is the imperial court! We can set up another imperial court!"

"Will we reconcile because of the highway?" Yuan Shao asked!
Feng Ji looked distressed and said: "Gaolu is now leading an army of 5 to attack Runan County. He is still unwilling to give up Yuzhou, and he is still fighting the eldest son!"

Yuan Shao frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "He really doesn't know that the Yuan family is still messing around here when it's in danger!"

Xu You thought for a while and smiled: "Gaolu just doesn't want to admit defeat now. Find someone to persuade him. Although he lost Yuzhou, we can help him get Yangzhou and Xuzhou. The two places are not much different from Yuzhou. Now the road He fought for several months but got nothing, presumably he didn’t have much food, he needed a stable territory if he didn’t want to become a homeless dog, Jiujiang County alone couldn’t support his 7-8 army!”

"We made it clear to him the powerful relationship. Once Lei Gong occupies Jizhou, the Central Plains will be in danger. If he occupies Xuzhou and Yangzhou, he can just avoid Lei Gong's soldiers. He knows how to choose!"

Xu You proudly said: "We occupy half of Sili and Yanzhou, Yuzhou, highways occupy Xuzhou and Yangzhou, Cao Cao occupies Qingzhou, and Liu Yan occupies Yizhou. These are our people. to please us,"

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Send Yuan Wei to Jiujiang County and tell Gonglu that I am willing to support him in capturing Yangzhou and Xuzhou."

Yuan Wei is the elder of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao thought that coming to Yuan Shu would give him face, and this was also the most beneficial plan for Yuan Shu. Now he was already angry in Yuzhou, and everyone in Yuzhou didn't want Yuan Shu to come back again. The reason why the 5 army can't even conquer Runan County!

"At the beginning, Yuan Shu is very important to us now. You should write another letter and persuade him. The Yuan family's king and hegemony are all in his hands, and let him not do things that make loved ones hurt their enemies!" If Yuan Shu can occupy Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty will be occupied by the Yuan family. It can be said that half of the world of the Han Dynasty is in the hands of the Yuan brothers. This is why Xu You is confident that Liu Bei dare not turn against them!

Xin Pi said: "Now that the Tengjia Army is attacking Jizhou, Ziyuan hasn't said how we should support Jizhou?"

Xu You sneered and said: "Jizhou can't be rescued, Yang Biao and the others miscalculated the strength of the Xiliang Army, and spent more than half a year wasting the elite of the imperial court fighting internally, so that the entire Central Plains has no troops to support Jizhou. Sili has also been defeated. Now we can block Lei Gong in Hebei, which is considered a victory. What we have to do now is to let the clans in Yanzhou find a way to recruit soldiers to deal with the Tengjia army that is about to enter the Yellow River. Although Lei Gong He will stop after annexing Jizhou, but if he sees the central plains empty, he might take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River!"

Yuan Shao worried: "Yanzhou is dangerous, shall we send some soldiers to support Yanzhou?"

Now that Yanzhou has become Yuan Shao's territory, it is naturally impossible for him to just watch the Tengjia Army threaten Yanzhou like this!
Xu You thought for a while and said: "Now we don't have many troops in Luoyang City. Let the high-ranking officials recruit 2 garrison soldiers in Henan Yin to support Yanzhou. One month, and this time is enough to train these field soldiers to defend the city!"

Yuan Shao's various ministries have been expanding since they entered Luoyang City. Originally, he had 4 troops, and Henan Yin was the place where Dong Zhuo garrisoned the fields. Now these garrison soldiers have all become Yuan Shao's subordinates, although Dong Zhuo had 7 garrison soldiers at the beginning. Some died in battle and escaped, but Yuan Shao still recruited 3 people, and as long as these lands are there, the 10 troops planned by Dong Zhuo will sooner or later be fully recruited. Yuan Shu's 3 troops were defeated, so now Yuan Shao has more than 10 troops in his hands.It is still possible for Yuan Shao to send some to support Yanzhou!
Guanzhong, Wugong County, Han army camp!
The imperial court notified Zhu Jun and Liu Bei of the situation about Jizhou. The two looked at each other and smiled wryly after knowing that Lei Gong had attacked Jizhou. The Jia army is preparing to attack Jizhou, but now that Sili is in chaos, it would be strange if Lei Gong didn't take the opportunity to occupy Jizhou!

Zhu Jun and Liu Bei wanted to deal with the Xiliang army before Lei Gong attacked Jizhou, but they did not expect that the Xiliang army would be so determined this time. They fought from Chang'an City to Wugong County, more than 300 miles away, but still failed To deal with the Xiliang rebels, now that Lei Gong is attacking Jizhou, they know that this battle cannot go on!

Zhu Jun smiled helplessly: "Now we can only let Niu Fu and the others retreat to Xiliang, and even the imperial court has to appease them, otherwise the imperial court has no troops to support Jizhou! It can be said that the offensive and defensive trend between us and the Xiliang army is going against each other now." Already!"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Niu Fu and the others will take the opportunity to hold back the main force of the imperial court and prevent us from supporting Jizhou. If they hold us back for a month, I'm afraid that all battles in Jizhou will be over!"

Zhu Jun thought for a while and said: "You lead your headquarters to stand here, and I will lead the army to support Jizhou. The current imperial court cannot bear the price of losing Jizhou!"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "We've wasted too much time in Sili, I'm afraid Lei Gong won't give us a chance to support Jizhou!"

Wugong County is more than 3 miles away from Wei County, which is the closest to Jizhou. It will take more than a month for Zhu Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops to rush to Wei County, but it will take less than [-] months to reach Zhongshan Country. Don't think about it, and after such a long time, I'm afraid that Lei Gong has completely captured Jizhou.

Zhu Jun thought for a while and said, "We have to give it a try. Even if we can't support Jizhou, Yanzhou still has to have troops to confront the Tengjia Army. Otherwise, I'm afraid Lei Gong won't be satisfied to occupy Jizhou!"

At the same time, the camp of the Xiliang Army also received news of Lei Gong's attack on Jizhou!

Niu Fu and the others were filled with joy. They fled all the way to Wugong County. They wanted to go back to their hometown, Xiliang, but Zhu Jun and Liu Bei had been attacking them all the time. If you run away, you're doomed!

Even Han Sui and Ma Teng wanted to escape. After all, they had already plundered Guanzhong, and now they were going to return to their lair with these provisions and money.They didn't believe that the imperial court could chase them to Xiliang, and even if the imperial court wanted to pursue them, they would chase Niu Fu and the others. Han Sui and Ma Teng were still sure of their safety!

It's just that their idea of ​​retreating was dissuaded by Li Ru and Jia Xu. Jia Xu told Han Sui and Ma Teng that Lei Gong would definitely attack Jizhou after the autumn harvest. At that time, the court would not have the energy to deal with them, and even tried to appease them. They, when the time comes, they will be able to bid far and wide, Han Sui's governor of Xiliang and Ma Teng's Zhonglang will all be appointed by the court, and they will not return to Xiliang as rebels.

Don't look at Han Sui and Ma Teng as rebels, but the official position of a court really has a lot of meaning to them. At least the majesty of the Han in Xiliang is still there. Even the Qiang people agree with the official position of the Han. Han Sui and Ma Teng After thinking about it, I just stayed in Guanzhong and waited to see if Lei Gong would really attack Jizhou during the autumn harvest!
In the end, they really waited until Lei Gong attacked Jizhou!
