Xuande

Chapter 510

This call for thieves caused quite a stir in Chenliu County, and many people were discussing it, so Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who came on the way, also knew about it.

But those who can spark discussions are not fools.

Before Yuan Shu's "Calling for Thieves" was announced, the Luoyang court had already issued an edict, in the name of the new emperor Liu Xie, to announce the rebellion of the Yuan family and the He family, and asked local officials to arrest Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu immediately. Bring him to justice, or capture him.

But the situation at that time was that the whole world had doubts about Luoyang's coup. The local governor who received the imperial court's announcement was very shocked.

It was too shocking that the general and the current Situ actually joined forces to rebel.

The counties and counties that are relatively close to Luoyang basically need about a month to inquire about the news, and the places that are far away from Luoyang need two to three months or even four to five months to inquire about the news and respond.

Therefore, after the announcement of the Luoyang court was issued, rumors and conspiracy theories were everywhere in the local area, and the public opinion field of the Han Empire was in chaos.

Some people say that Liu Xie is a false emperor.

Some people say that Liu Xie's status is not a problem.

Some people say that Liu Hong was manipulated before his death.

Some people say that Yuan's greed is not enough and wants to usurp the throne.

Some people even said that Liu Bei planned to usurp the throne.

This situation was expected by Liu Bei.

He knew that after the disaster of the party and the crisis in Hedong, the influence of the Luoyang court on local public opinion was very worrying, and he did not expect these local officials to do anything good before the Luoyang court showed their muscles, so he issued many announcements. It's just a gesture.

If they took the initiative to take off the heads of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and send them to Luoyang before Liu Bei did anything, then Liu Bei would really wonder if this was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because the court notice failed to pose a real threat to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had the opportunity to fight back, and came up with this call for thieves to fight back against Liu Bei and the Luoyang court.

Regardless of other places, the situation in Chenliu County, which is very close to Luoyang, is different.

The people of Chenliu County had also heard about the legitimate announcement of the Luoyang court, the death of the first emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, and the announcement of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao as rebels by the Luoyang court.

Now that Yuan Shu's completely different statement comes out, they will certainly doubt it, but they will even think about it.

The prelude to this matter had already set off a big wave in the world at that time, so Yuan Shu described Yuan Kai and He Jin as loyal ministers in his essay, and everyone felt that this was somewhat exaggerated.

People in other places don't know about the fact that He Jin and Yuan Kui recruited troops to Luoyang to fight Liu Hong, but how can the people of Chenliu County not know about it?

He Jin even sent people to Chenliu County to recruit troops.

Before and after, how many times Chenliu County has tormented He Jin, the locals all remember clearly, the soldiers of Chenliu County who came back from Luoyang yelled at He Jin, so in Chenliu County, few local people think He Jin is positive role.

Now Yuan Shu is going to whitewash Yuan Kai and He Jin, and call Liu Xuande, who is famous all over the world, a conspiracy villain. No matter what, the people of Chenliu County will deny it.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong made inquires in many places in the local area, and together with some news that had spread to Xuzhou at that time, they also came to some conclusions, and then they had some discussions.

"The throne of today's son should be no problem, Zibu, what do you think?"

Zhang Hong looked at Zhang Zhao.

"If there is a problem, the Luoyang court officials will not easily admit it, and the Empress Dowager is leading the matter, and there is evidence from the late emperor's edict, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Zhang Zhao said in a low voice: "Before, it was widely rumored that the emperor wanted to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. For this reason, he confronted He Jin and Yuan Kui and fought troops in Luoyang. It is true after all. In this way, it is not a big deal to be enthroned today. It’s possible, but it’s a matter of course.”

Zhang Hong nodded slowly, and then asked, "What about Yuan's call to action?"

"Yuan's rebellion failed, and they suffered heavy losses in Luoyang. The patriarch is dead, and the court wants to exterminate their three clans. It would be strange if the Yuan clan gave up their resistance."

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "It seems that Yuan Shu escaped during the battle of Luoyang and did not die, so now that he returns to the Runan tribe, he must raise troops in order to survive, and the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family are old officials. All over the world, although those in Luoyang have been eradicated, there are still many in the world.

Yuan Shu raises his arms, and I am afraid that many people will respond and prepare their troops. I guess that there will definitely be a battle to happen at that time. The current throne and Liu Xuande's position as a general will not be so easily defeated. It is recognized that this battle is inevitable. "

"Then shall we still go to Luoyang?"

Zhang Hong squinted his eyes and said, "If we go to Luoyang now, I'm afraid there will be risks. Zibu, we left Luoyang to protect the family, but if we can't even protect ourselves, how can we protect the family?"

Zhang Zhao looked at Zhang Hong.

"Zigang, do you regret it?"

"I've come here, how can I regret it?"

Zhang Hong smiled wryly and said, "I just didn't expect that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao would still be alive and even escaped. There are quite a few old officials of the Yuan family who hold positions in the world. Once the Yuan family rebelled, their lives would be in danger. If I survive, I am afraid that I will follow these two people to raise troops, and it will inevitably lead to another war."

"That's what I think too."

Zhang Zhao also showed a wry smile: "We are forced to do nothing. There are wolves in the front and tigers in the back. There is only one way to survive, and there are some dangers. However, Liu Xuande has always been good at using troops, and he is known as the number one general of the great man. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, That’s all for the Gaoliang disciples, but in military terms, they should not be Liu Xuande’s opponents, what do you think?”

"That's it."

Zhang Hong smiled wryly and said, "Although I don't know how many people in the world still have evil intentions, but the matter has come to this point, we can only hope that Liu Xuande will win a complete victory."

So the two decided to advance to Luoyang regardless of everything, and tried their best to help Liu Bei win the final victory and become a winner. In this way, there would be no problem.

Liu Ye from Huainan Chengde also felt the embarrassment of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he lived in relatively affluent conditions and had good learning resources since he was a child, so his knowledge is very good, and he is now somewhat famous in the local area.

However, he felt that this was not enough for him to be summoned by Hussar General Liu Bei.

On the contrary, this matter made his father Liu Pu and elder brother Liu Huan very happy, thinking that Liu Ye's fame has been known to people like Liu Bei, which is a major victory for the family.

The three fathers and sons discussed whether to go to Luoyang, and the father and elder brother agreed, thinking that this was a great opportunity for their clan to return to the center of Luoyang, and felt that this was a great benefit for them from Liu Bei.

"Hussar General Liu Xuande is also a member of the clan of the Han family. Now you must be recruited because you are also a clan member of the Han family. Why don't you go to Luoyang? Going to Luoyang to make contributions and shine on the lintel, this will make the ancestors feel gratified thing, why not do it?"

Liu Pu thinks so, he thinks that Liu Ye is 20 years old, he is an adult, and he should go out and make some achievements.

Anyway, he has two sons, the eldest son keeps the family business at home, and the younger son goes out to make a living, which is a matter of course.

On the contrary, Liu Huan was worried about Liu Ye's safety while he was happy.

"Luoyang is not stable right now. I heard that Yuan Kai, He Jin and the Son of Heaven are not on good terms. Luoyang's soldiers are gathering, and it seems that something big is about to happen. Would it be dangerous for Ye to go to Luoyang at this moment?"

Liu Pu shook his head.

"As long as the emperor is still there, Luo Yang will not be in chaos. At this moment, it is the time when Liu Huanqi is thirsty for talents. If you don't seize this opportunity, who knows when the next opportunity will be?
Although we are relatives of the Han family, our ancestors did not have a high status several generations ago. Now that our ancestors have blessed us, they are only middle-level people in the local area. It is not difficult to become an official locally, but if we want to go further, we must It was even harder. "

What Liu Pu said was true.

Both Liu Huan and Liu Ye knew that with their family backgrounds, it was not difficult to become an official in a local area, but if they wanted to go further and step onto a bigger stage, they were somewhat lacking, and the family's help was not enough.

There are eight hundred Han clans like theirs in the world, so why should good things happen to them?
Now there is a huge opportunity in front of you, if you don't seize it vigorously, you will regret it.

Is Liu Ye young and energetic, after much deliberation, or decided to follow his father Liu Pu's wishes, bid farewell to his family, and set off for Luoyang to pursue a future of his own.

At the beginning of May, in response to the promulgation issued by the Luoyang court, Yuan Shu played a targeted rebellion banner in Runan, and issued a rebellion call to all states and counties in the Central Plains, trying to set off a wave of rebellion.

At that time, Liu Ye had just arrived in Chen Country, and after a short rest, he got the news.

To be precise, Liu Ye learned of two pieces of news at the same time, including the Luoyang incident and Yuan Shu's rebellion. These two pieces of news hit Liu Ye's brain at the same time, causing him to fall into a certain degree of entanglement.

However, this matter is indeed a major event. From two perspectives, no one is clean, and anyone can say that the other party is rebellious, but the problem is that one is already on the side of the emperor and has a rightful name, and the other is to escape. Luoyang's defeated dog.

Who represents the truth?
After thinking about it, Liu Ye felt that it was not important, what was important was—who represented victory?

Thinking about Liu Bei's previous victories and achievements, Liu Ye instinctively thought that Liu Bei would win the final victory in this round of disputes, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two anointed disciples, could not affect the overall situation. .

So Liu Ye decided to get up from Chen Guo and set off for Luoyang.
