Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"Loyalty...righteousness?"

After receiving the secret letter from the guard, Zhang Yan glanced at it and saw two large characters printed in wax on the lead seal.

One loyalty and one righteousness seem to have a lot of charm.

……

"Loyalty...Loyalty?"

"Wait, could it be him?"

"That guy finally remembered to contact me?"

Suddenly, a hint of inspiration burst into Zhang Yan's mind, and it also reminded him of a description in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life:

……

"... I am overjoyed to hear that.So he first issued a corrective edict, reported to various sources, and then recruited volunteers, erected a white flag for recruiting soldiers, and wrote the word "loyalty". 』

"Within a few days, the applicants gather like rain..."

……

That's right, this paragraph of text is exactly from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong's narration of the story of "Send a Jiaozhao to the towns to respond to Duke Cao".

This story roughly tells that Cao Cao failed to offer the knife. After he escaped back to his hometown Chenliu by chance, he complained to Wei Hong, the head of the Wei family, the first family in Chenliu, and Wei Hong was inspired by Cao Cao's loyalty and was willing to leave. Family wealth to support the story of Cao Cao's rebellion against Dong Zhuo's tyranny.

In that story, Cao Cao set up a white flag in Chenliu, wrote the word "loyalty and righteousness", and used it as a title to recruit village braves and form a volunteer army.

For example, Le Jin, Li Dian, the second general of the Cao family, the second general of Xiahou and other famous generals in later generations all brought their own dry food and pawns to join Cao Cao's command at that time.

……

Le Jin... Le Wenqian?

After recalling these things, the name of Le Wenqian was naturally remembered by Zhang Yan.

The other party is not a passing suit in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, but Cao Cao's generals, who broke through the Yuan family in Hebei twice successively, and defeated Chun Yuqiong, Yan Jing and other generals.

After this man followed Cao Cao, he went south and north to fight, Dongping Qingzhou, Xuzhou Yellow Turban, and even Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou in the later period, he has been with him all the time!

If you insist on making a comparison, perhaps only Xu Huang's reputation can be compared with him on Zhang Yan's side.

……

Then the other party came to look for him at this time, and even sent him a secret letter... Isn't the content of the secret letter self-explanatory?

……

"On the third day of March in the second year of Guangxi, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued a secret edict: "The state-owned thief is named Dong Zhuo. He is cruel and filthy. The palace is in chaos, and crimes are plentiful..."

……

Sure enough, as soon as the letter was opened, Zhang Yan had just glanced at it, and he could guess what the whole letter was about.

It's nothing more than that Dong Zhuo is really not a thing. He desperately bullied Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and violated the ancestral system, calling on righteous men from all over the world to crusade and so on.

What really surprised Zhang Yan was that what was contained in this letter was not a call to all counties in the world, but an imperial edict?

Judging from the material and format of this edict, it should be a coquettish edict issued by Cao Cao in the name of Han Shaodi Liu Bian.

……

And this coercive edict and proclamation, although they look somewhat similar, have similar functions...

But when it comes to the actual effect, the two can almost be said to be very different.

……

Chapter 43 Who can tell what will happen in the future?

The so-called coercive edicts are orders issued by the emperor himself, which are announced by the courtiers on his behalf. Therefore, all coercive edicts represent the emperor's own wishes.

And what about the call to action?

Take the well-known call for thieves at the same time as an example. It was a joint statement issued by Cao Cao himself to the counties all over the world, and it represented Cao Cao's own wishes!

……

In normal times, there is actually not much difference between the royal imperial edict and the courtier's edict, because anyone who can be a state-level governor can easily see that whether it is an edict or an edict, it represents It is the will of the entire Han royal family.

After all, it's impossible for a big man's bureaucrats to be too full to sleep and sing against their backers, right?

……

As for when the world is in chaos, the difference between the two is huge...

……

In the deduction, Cao Cao first "issued corrective edicts and reported various ways", so what was the result?

After distributing the edict to many of his fellow friends, Yuan Shao was the only one in the whole Han Dynasty to respond. He brought [-] soldiers and horses from Bohai Sea to Chenliu County where Cao Cao was located.

How much of this is due to the kindness between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and how much is due to the personal enmity between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo is still unknown.

And when Yuan Shao arrived, Cao Cao issued a message to announce to the world, and countless princes responded and formed an alliance in Suanzao County. Among them, there were 1 major princes with more than [-] troops, and the small princes could not be counted. The entire coalition army The total strength of the army has even reached a terrifying [-] or so...

Could it be that normal people can't feel the difference?

……

Today's world is a once-in-a-century chaotic world.In such a world, how much power does Liu Xie have as an emperor under house arrest?This is really an unknown.

Cao Cao's "comrades" who were notified were not stupid, and how many people would fight Dong Zhuo desperately because of Liu Xie's words?

I am afraid that Yuan Shao is the only one who wanted to save face a long time ago.

……

And after Cao Cao issued a message to the prefects of the Huaxia counties, why so many "benevolent and righteous men" sent troops to help against Dong Zhuo?

On the one hand, it is because Cao Cao’s comrade-in-arms quality is indeed inferior to that of the state and county chiefs of the entire Han Dynasty... On the other hand, what Cao Cao’s proclamation represents is not the attitude of the little emperor who has no right to speak, but the attitude of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Two people's own attitudes!

Behind Cao Cao is the former great eunuch Cao Teng, not to mention the eunuch among the three princes, just because he can gather thousands of soldiers with a single call in Chenliu, he is not like those ordinary states and counties. The prefect can be underestimated.

God knows how rich his family is!

You must know that even in many counties and counties in remote and impoverished areas, their prefects tried their best, but they could only support thousands of officers and soldiers.

……

As for the other of the two, Yuan Shao, he is the fourth generation and the third prince, Wei Jia Hai Nei.

At least one-fifth of the [-] or [-] prefects in this big man are former disciples of the Yuan family, or have had a loving relationship with the Yuan family.

Now that Yuan Shao ascended with a wave, how could they not respond?

The scene where the world gathered at that time even made many people feel a kind of fantasy that "the big man still exists in the world".

……

Today's Zhang Yan, as one of Cao Cao's good brothers when he was in Luoyang, naturally received this edict that can only be obtained by a "friend of the same way".

In human terms, this is the company's initial public offering plan.

Anyone who joins Cao Cao during this period can own the original shares of the company "The Eighteenth Road Allied Army". Even if the company goes public in the future and more and more people join, their status can still maintain a certain detached state .

Yuan Shao was able to successfully become the leader of this alliance of princes, which also has the influence of this point.

……

As for receiving this thing, Zhang Yan should go...

Is there anything more to say?

Pursing his lips lightly to put away the imperial edict, Zhang Yan seemed to have finally let go of the worries in his heart, and the whole person laughed lightly.

After waiting for two full years, he can be regarded as waiting for this day.

As long as he appeals to Dong Shunli this time, he who succeeds in "putting pressure" will definitely be rewarded by Dong Zhuo.At that time, I am afraid that even words such as "swim the dragon and return to the sea" and "the blue bird soars above the clouds" will not be enough to describe Zhang Yan's situation.

Occupying a position among the Dong Dong, means that he, as one of the princes, successfully ate the first piece of meat at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

If Liu Bei was also rewarded in the process of seeking directors back then, how could he have been displaced for half his life, and finally caused himself to start too late and lose to the Sun and Cao families who made preparations early?

……

Not only did Zhang Yan go to this "grand ceremony" of the princes, but he also went there with great fanfare. He could not appear as anyone's subordinate, but had to participate in the discussion of Dong as an independent prince.

Only in this way can Zhang Yan really get Dong Zhuo's attention, and then be rewarded with greater power.

……

As for among them, is there anything else that Zhang Yan cares about...

There might be some, but definitely not many.

……

So far, the only thing worthy of Zhang Yan's attention is that this coercive edict was not promulgated in the identity of Han Xiandi Liu Xie, but in the identity of the young emperor Liu Bian.

This also means that Han Shaodi Liu Bian is still alive, even like the Han Xiandi Liu Xie in the original history. He is alive and well, and no one dares to touch him at all...

As for the reason why Liu Bian has survived to the present is also very simple, that is because of the influence of Zhang Yan, this time the two little princes did not flee south with the ten permanent servants at the same time, but fled to the two places one by one. different directions.

Liu Bian headed west all the way, following his mother Empress He's advice, and eventually entered Chang'an, and then...

Then he was caught by Dong Zhuo who was stationed at Shanglinyuan in Chang'an.

This is great, originally Dong Zhuo was still worrying about what kind of excuse he should use to participate in the chaos in Luoyang... Now with Liu Bian's help, everything became easier.

……

As for Liu Xie, he naturally headed east all the way. After reaching the seaside, he took a boat and finally came under the rule of Zhang Yan.

There is no need to mention the ups and downs, but I don't know if it is because Yangzhou is really remote... It seems that apart from the people on my side, no one else has heard that Liu Xie is still alive.

Otherwise, how could half a year have passed and no one from the palace came to Zhang Yan to pick Liu Xie back to the palace?

According to Zhang Yan's estimate, even the many prefects who participated in the plan to rescue Liu Xie consciously kept the news and did not leak it...

……

In this way, according to the opinions of those palace people, they might think that Liu Xie had died by the side of the road.

And this naturally became an opportunity for Liu Bian to survive.
