Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 422
The reign name of Xingping seems to be a joke made by the heavens on the people of the Han Dynasty.This year, they did not usher in prosperity and peace, but suffered from natural and man-made disasters.

The natural disaster belonged to the people in Guanzhong. For almost half a year, they had no choice but to endure all kinds of pain caused by the severe drought.Man-made disasters belong to the people of Xuzhou. They originally lived a poor and ordinary life in the prosperity and stability. However, Cao Cao's butcher knife swung at them without warning, making them become innocent souls in the Sishui River.

But when everyone had lost hope, when the people of the Han Dynasty believed that justice had fallen, the Han Dynasty, which had always been silent and forbearing before, gave the world a ray of light and hope when people were desperate.

In September of this year, the emperor of the Han Dynasty suddenly issued a call to the world.He denounced Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao's rebellious ministers and thieves, didn't think of the kindness of the Han Dynasty, shepherd guarded one side, devoted himself to managing Yanzhou, opposed wolf ambitions, used swords recklessly, stole the power of Xuzhou, slaughtered Li Shu and caused chaos in the world, he is the second Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty!

In the call-to-action, Liu Xie, in the name of the Son of Heaven, announced that the actions of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao were against the heavens and were beasts.From now on, depose Cao Cao from the position of Yanzhou Mu, and call on righteous men from all over the world to fight against the bandits and put an end to the chaos.There is a military order: Cao Cao's eunuch is ugly and harms the world. The righteous men of the three armies of the Han Dynasty must fight hard.
In Cao Ni's army, if anyone was wronged by traitors and deceived by Cao's family, except for Cao Cao's rebellious head, as long as they wake up and change their past mistakes, the Han Dynasty can forget the past and will not be held accountable.If he can make a counterattack and make a great contribution, the emperor will not hesitate to reward him as a marquis!The army has no two orders, the sky has no two words, and it is a commandment to follow the king's business, and there is no punishment!
The Han Dynasty has never lacked ministers with outstanding writing skills. Those ministers who were sighing at the empty dragon chairs in the court hall, suddenly got the emperor's edict, and immediately expressed their hearts with enthusiasm.After a stick of incense, this call to action was published, and then Leng Shouguang invited the empress of the Han Dynasty to put a jade seal on it, and it was immediately distributed all over the Han Dynasty.

The call to action is not only eloquent and expressive, but also full of warmth from the Han Dynasty to the people of Xuzhou.At the end of the article, it is also specially written: "Officials and people in all counties and counties of Xuzhou do not need to tremble with the Cao thief's knife. The laws of heaven are clear, and the retribution is not good. The Han Tianjun will hold justice and fight on behalf of the heavens. When the heavenly army arrives, Everyone in Xuzhou can fight back and capture the leader of the rebel Cao!"

This proclamation turned out to be out of nowhere, and immediately swept through a strong potential energy, igniting this supposedly bleak September.The failure of Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, made people all over the world grieve for justice.But as soon as this proclamation came out, everyone immediately realized that justice lies in the orthodoxy of the Han court, the emperor who acts on behalf of the heavens!
And those Guanzhong people who were inexplicably angry at the Han Dynasty before suddenly felt that they were nothing: the emperor was not easy. What the emperor's people should do!
No, as soon as the severe drought was over, the emperor immediately sent his troops to the east. If you want to save Xuzhou, you must first deal with yourself here. For such a simple reason, why did I get so confused by lard at that time? I don’t understand?

Most of the people in Guanzhong who feel guilty have spontaneously paid [-]% more grain when they handed in taxes and grain this year.Thinking that even if I suffer from hunger next year, I will have to feed the warriors of the Han army.What made Liu Xie feel even more gratified was that the merchants he had single-handedly created were not at all the slick profiteers in his impression.Although they did not destroy their homes to relieve their difficulties, there are many people who donate all their savings to the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the Han Dynasty did not collect even a sliver of grain. The explanation for the common people was: Although the severe drought has passed, Guanzhong has not fully recovered.Next year's food will be the seeds of Guanzhong's abundance, and Guanzhong cannot be destroyed because of Xuzhou.On the other side of Xuzhou, the Han Dynasty has its own tricks...

The person in charge of the tax collection this time is that Hou Wen who received [-] boards.Everyone thought that the censor, who was suppressed by the emperor, would be cut off from his official career, but it was unexpected that the emperor, who had never seen the end of the dragon, sent a letter to appoint this person.Because of this, the censor became an interesting minister in the hearts of the people in Chang'an: he didn't give out any grains that shouldn't be given out.It shouldn't be accepted, and he won't accept a single grain...

However, this move by the imperial court caused the people who were enthusiastically raised to be confused again.At the same time, there is a kind of yin and yang argument coming out from nowhere: Don't be fooled by the Han Dynasty anymore, isn't your emperor's greatest skill is to fool others?This time it was announced to the world that the Han Dynasty just wanted to show off its presence. If the autumn grain was not collected, how could the court have the capital to crusade against Cao Cao?
It's a pity that the rumors this time are not as effective as the previous ones. The people in Guanzhong's trust in the Han Dynasty and their previous guilt made them not respond to such rumors.On the contrary, they all had a little more foresight, and deliberately understood who was spreading rumors again.Those spies caught in the vast ocean of the people had nowhere to escape, and were quickly captured by Jing Zhaoyin’s Chang’an Ling Jiangxiong, and then fell into the hands of Ting Wei’s left supervisor Dong Zhao. No one paid a silent tribute to these poor spies stand up.After all, everyone in Guanzhong knew about Dong Zhao's notoriety.

However, the people in Guanzhong were still a little puzzled: if the imperial court didn't send troops, would it be necessary to rely on those princes who just wanted to get officials and didn't do anything to fight Cao Cao?

Soon, their doubts were solved by the actual actions of the Han Dynasty.The parachutist Lu Bu, who was almost forgotten by people, once again moved the world with martial arts, but this time, he did not lead the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to rob one side, but was ordered by the emperor to go east to Yanzhou and became the hero of the year .

No one expected that Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu who was far away in Yanzhou, and Chen Gong, who was in charge of the county, suddenly responded to the emperor's edict in Yanzhou and welcomed Lu Bu, the Fenwu general of the Han Dynasty, into Yanzhou to suppress the rebellion.Lu Bu's reputation for bravery was enough to be worth [-] troops. For a while, all counties and counties in Yanzhou trembled. They responded to the imperial order of the Han Dynasty and broke with Cao Ni, declaring to abandon darkness and turn to light.This trend was raging, almost within ten days, half of Yanzhou was recovered.

One day at the end of September, General Fenwu was wearing a battle robe of Hundred Flowers and Chaotic Python, straddling the Sifeng Chitu, and looked coldly at the battlefield ahead.

It has been half an hour, and although Xiahou Dun's line is a little weak, there is still no sign of collapse.Lu Bu knew that Xiahou Dun was a general in both civil and military skills under Cao Cao's tent, second only to Cao Cao.When he raised his troops into Xuzhou, Xiahou Dun was ordered by Cao Cao to station at Puyang, the base camp.Cao Cao handed over his lifeline to Xiahou Dun, which shows that he attaches great importance to this person.

"I can't drag it on like this anymore..." Lu Bu looked back at the group of civil and military men behind him, a fire seemed to be lit in his purple-brown pupils, burning fiercely: "If this goes on like this, people in the world will probably forget me, representative Lu Bu. what's up?"

After saying this, Lu Bu lightly stroked Fang Tian's painted halberd, which was more than ten feet long. The head blade and the twigs on the neck of the halberd and the crescent curved blade on it are still shiny and crystal clear.

Looking at the weapons that have been accompanied by each other for many years, Lu Bu felt a sense of pride in his heart, and laughed loudly: "I am a son of Zhou, everyone is a good man, how can I be humiliated by Xiahou Dun? All the soldiers will fight with me, Let those Xiahoudun see our abilities!" After saying that, he took the lead and rushed to the place where the two armies were fighting.The horse with a mane like red flames, the chaotic war robe flying in the wind, and the black and red halberd made Lu Bu look like an invincible god of war, making people palpitate.

Xiahou Dun almost held his breath and watched Lu Bu rush into his army formation. The courage like a blazing prairie fire, and the invincible prestige of all those in charge made Xiahou Dun feel awe-inspiring: It is obvious that there are only a few thousand guards, but that This powerful and invincible momentum made everyone on the battlefield flinch in front of this army!
Seeing his army formation being treated as nothing by Lu Bu, although Xiahou Dun felt a little distressed, he was even more helpless.He is not afraid of Lu Bu, but he knows that what he is fighting is a doomed defeat!

If it was Lu Bu before, he would never let Lu Bu take a step forward by sticking to the city.But because Lu Bu had Chen Gong behind him, he was tricked out of the city in a daze.At this time, coupled with the last blow of the unparalleled famous general Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun's eyes were bloodshot instantly, only seeing that the entire battlefield seemed to be burning and expanding with only the red fire, and the Bingzhou Army seemed to be encouraged by the bravery of the general, and their offensive also It became in full swing, and the entire Bingzhou wolf cavalry seemed to be burning...

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Xiahou Dun under the big banner looked at the front that was suddenly torn apart, and finally yelled out this shameful sentence unwillingly.At the same time, his heart was bleeding violently: Meng De, everything we worked so hard for is over!We are going to start all over again... But, this time we are fighting against the entire Han Dynasty. Is it possible for us to win?
