When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 148 Either avoid the edge temporarily or take the initiative.

Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Both Liu Heng and Liu Qi were thinking silently in their hearts. Judging from Cao Cao's behavior and experience, there was no doubt that he was a man who dared to enforce the law, had pride and righteousness in his heart, was not afraid of the powerful, and did not like to form a party for personal gain. He had extremely lofty political ideals. and ambition.

According to his character, whether he becomes the governor of Dongjun to govern one side or continues to preside over the overall situation in Jinan, it is an opportunity for Cao Cao to display his ideas and goals.

But the situation at that time was really not optimistic. Military and political power in various places were being decentralized more and more, and the trend of local independence was already evident.

Under the chaotic chaos of demons, anything can happen, and there are too many uncertainties.

Liu Heng pressed three options.

[Faced with the imperial court's orders and the extremely chaotic trend in the world, Cao Cao chose to remain silent without any hesitation, so he reported illness and returned to his hometown to recuperate at home. 】

[Subsequent results also proved that Cao Cao's decision to retreat this time was extremely correct. 】

[The central government is on the verge of collapse. Over the years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the tradition of constantly changing emperors has led to ministers arbitrarily intervening in deposing and establishing emperors. There have been many small plans to stir up trouble. 】

[Some people took Liu Che's Tuogu minister as an example and sent people to find Cao Cao and persuade him to join in the abolition of the emperor, but Cao Cao did not agree. 】

[On the one hand, he believed that deposing the emperor was an ominous thing. On the other hand, he did not think that the people who came to him had such conditions. Now these people are just villains lurking in the dark. How can they compete with Huo Guang? Compared with Minister Tuogu. 】

[After being rejected by Cao Cao, these people still did not give up and the final result was that they did not have Huo Guang's ability and failed. 】

[And Cao Cao ushered in a huge turning point in his life.In order to consolidate the power of the central government, Emperor Ling recruited strong men to establish a new army, namely the Eight Captains of Xiyuan, and Cao Cao was one of them. 】

[However, Emperor Ling soon passed away, and the Eighth Lieutenant of Xiyuan lost his direct boss, and soon began to split. 】

[Jian Shuo, who served as a military academy lieutenant, was a eunuch, and the new emperor's uncle He Jin had irreconcilable conflicts with the eunuchs. Among the eight lieutenants, Yuan Shao, a military academy lieutenant, cooperated with He Jin with the intention of getting rid of the eunuchs. 】

[In order to achieve the goal of getting rid of the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo was transferred to the capital, but He Jin failed to control this person and failed to win the struggle with the eunuchs. In the end, life and death were eliminated. 】

[Although Yuan Shao killed a large number of eunuchs, he was unable to compete with Dong Zhuo, so he fled the capital in embarrassment with Cao Cao and others. 】

[Faced with Dong Zhuo's cruel, rude and perverse behavior, Cao Cao decided. 】

[[-]: Avoid the limelight for the time being, look at the situation first, and then publish an article for verbal attack. 】

[Two: Join other people who have escaped, such as the fourth generation and third Duke of Yuan Shao and the Yuan family. If they decide to crusade, join them yourself. 】

[Three: You can't tolerate Dong Zhuo's behavior for a moment, take the initiative immediately, organize your own resistance, and don't need to wait for others. 】

Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianwu 17 years.

Liu Xiu's face had darkened. He completely ignored the turmoil of those young people. What he cared about was the evaluation given to him by the miracle.

What is the tradition of changing emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty? Where did they get such a tradition in the Eastern Han Dynasty? He will never admit it!
Regarding the subsequent attempt to depose the emperor, Liu Xiu was extremely calm. There was no surprise at all. The central government had become a sieve, and power had been divided among all parties. Anyone with a bit of ambition would want to compete among them. A handful.

But he was originally very satisfied with Cao Cao's initial answer to the matter of deposing the emperor. However, when he saw later, it turned out that those people did not have the conditions to depose the emperor, and his face turned a little dark again.

This is a lack of conditions. If the conditions were sufficient, would Cao Cao also want to depose the emperor?
Then it won't be ominous, but a sign of auspiciousness, right?Liu Xiu closed his eyes again. The things in front of him were unbearable to look at. Among the following options, he thought about it again and a keyword jumped out.

"Four Generations and Three Dukes", this once again made Liu Xiu realize how terrible it is for local powerful forces to grow and develop. Three of the four generations were actually at the "public" level. This can be said to have almost no faults.

It is no exaggeration to say that the power of the Yuan family is enough to monopolize a large number of official positions in the court.

And in the local area, I'm afraid people only know the Yuan family and don't know the central government.

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang watched the miracle with interest.

No one in this situation can save the Eastern Han Dynasty. Furthermore, I am more than a hundred years away from the Ling Emperor period. What can he do now that he has all kinds of preparations?
Besides watching the show, what else can he do?
He just needs to ensure that the heir he chooses can continue his great empire for a few more generations. He will be satisfied if there is no emperor like the one at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he was full of curiosity about Cao Cao's options for publishing articles. I wonder what Cao Cao's literary talent is like?
How sharp is the attack of this language article? ——
Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng looked at this option and kept thinking about it. According to his understanding of Cao Cao through miracles, the second option is probably the least likely.

Wait for others to express their opinions before following. Based on Cao Cao's chivalrous experience in his youth and his strict implementation of his own rules, I am afraid that he is not a person who waits for others to act.

He will only make decisions based on his own thoughts and his own judgment of the current situation.

Therefore, either to avoid the edge temporarily, or to take the initiative.

He pressed option three.

[Cao Cao came to Chenliu County in Yanzhou and contacted Zhang Miao, his old friend who was the governor of Chenliu at the time. Then he "scattered his family wealth and joined forces with righteous soldiers" and raised an army in December, calling on the world's heroes to attack Dong Zhuo. 】

[Subsequently, the prefectures and counties in Guandong raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo. Among them, Yuan Shao, who fled to Jizhou, was recommended as the leader of the alliance. Of course, it was also because he was the most powerful and was the main force in the attack on Dong Zhuo. 】

[Cao Cao served as General Fenwu, and together with Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao and others joined the Luyang coalition to fight against Dong Zhuo. 】

[But Dong Zhuo saw at a glance that there were enemies everywhere and he couldn't resist it, so he decided to move the capital. 】

[He moved the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an, and finally Dong Zhuo successfully retreated. 】

[But before he left, he "burned all the palaces, temples, officials and homes, leaving no remains within two hundred miles." He also asked Lu Bu to "dispatch all the emperors' tombs, and the ministers have already descended to the tombs to collect their treasures." 】

[This behavior directly shocked the world and made everyone start to shout harshly, Cao Cao thought. 】

[[-]: We should take this opportunity to seize the general trend and fight Dong Zhuo decisively. The Kwantung Allied Forces adopted his suggestion and sent out a large number of troops to attack Dong Zhuo with all their strength. 】

[Two: The coalition forces each have their own thoughts. Although they send out troops for a decisive battle, they still have their own reservations. 】

[[-]: Cao Cao tried to conquer Dong Zhuo on his own, while the coalition forces had their own agendas, and eventually fell apart. 】
