Chapter 302 Dong Zhuo's Death, the World Is in Chaos

"Liu Bei's army was defeated by Yuan Shao in Guangzong County, Julu County. Yuan Shao's forces sent a cavalry general to cut off Liu Bei's food route and force Liu Bei to retreat. This general is suspected to be the fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, Han Cao Hu!"

While Chutian suppressed the surrounding princes, he was also paying attention to the development of the more distant princes. The princes of each state are working hard to manage and expand their power, secretly competing.

The war in the area north of the Yellow River was even more tragic, and Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were already tug-of-war in Julu County. Because of the assistance of Shi Wansui and Han Chuhu, the military generals of Zhao Long, the prefect of Wei County, Yuan Shao was slightly better by virtue of his talent advantage and more troops, horses, food and grass.

However, Liu Bei only retreated a little, not to the point of collapse.

Chutian also cares about the battle between Mingguan, the prefect of Eastern Liaoning, and Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan of Western Liaoning, and the outcome is unknown.

"Order the Leyi Corps, the Baipao Corps, and the Scout Corps to invade Beihai Kingdom, put pressure on Zhao Gongzi and demand that he surrender. If Zhao Gongzi surrenders, he can be treated preferentially. In the future, he will be the prefect of either party."

Chutian wants to annex half of Qingzhou in a relatively peaceful way. If you can obtain the Beihai Kingdom, Donglai County and Qi Kingdom in Qingzhou, then Chutian will become a great prince with nine prefectures.

According to Fang Xuanling's Langya strategy, the Chutian forces should target Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yanzhou, and occupy the territory of the four states.

"I don't know if Cao Cao will surrender, so send someone to recruit Cao Cao to surrender."

Cao Youyou is a hero, if you can recruit him...

Despite the low probability, Chutian dispatched an envoy to try to recruit Cao Cao, subdue a group of civil servants and generals under Cao Cao's command, and digest Cao Cao's territory.

"Is Chu Zimou teasing me?"

Cao Cao received a letter of persuasion from Chu Tian. As an alien lord, Chu Tian actually wanted to persuade him to surrender one of the lords. From then on, he would be the front and back of Xuzhou's saddle?

At present, Cao Cao still has three counties, Dongjun, Chenliu, and Jibei, and there are plotters Xun You and Wang Zuo Xunyu to assist him.

However, Cao Cao had to admit that for a moment he was shaken, and he really wanted to surrender to Chutian.

He is just a prefect, and his ambitions have not inflated to the point where he must be emperor.

Chu Tian defeated Zhao Gongzi and Yuan Shu, causing Cao Cao to doubt whether he could win against the mighty Xuzhou army. Three counties against the strength of six counties, Cao Cao has no confidence in himself.

Not only that, but Chutian's ally Gongzi Wen now controls Jiyin County and Shanyang County.

Even if Han Bai was reborn, it would be difficult to turn around in the face of the disparity in national power.

Cao Cao asked Xun You for his opinion on surrendering Xuzhou Mu.

"My subordinate officials can surrender to Xuzhou Mu, because Xuzhou Mu will still reuse me, but the lord has the ability and ambition, will Xuzhou Mu be assured to reuse the lord? If the lord goes north to rely on Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao can still make the lord alone Lead troops to guard one side. If you surrender to Chu Zimou, the lord can be under house arrest for the rest of his life. This is a world of difference, please think about it again and again."

Xun You's words dispelled Cao Cao's idea of ​​surrendering to Chutian.

With Cao Cao's ability and ambition, it is indeed difficult for anyone to regard him as a subordinate.

"Report! Yuan Benchu ​​got the help of the alien lord in the battle of Julu, repelled Liu Xuande, and occupied most of Julu County!"

Cao Cao's camp also received news of Yuan Shao's preliminary defeat of Liu Bei.

The East Han Dynasty has won the last two eye-catching battles. Among them, the siege attempts of many princes south of the Yellow River to Mu Chu Zimou in Xuzhou were foiled, Chu Zimou was victorious, and Yuan Shu was almost completely wiped out. Yuan Shao's forces north of the Yellow River repulsed Liu Bei and were on the offensive.

"As expected of Yuan Benchu, it seems that only by relying on Yuan Benchu ​​can I defeat Chu Zimou."

Cao Cao was oppressed by Chu Tian, ​​so he had to turn to the victorious Yuan Shao for help, re-attached Yuan Shao and became Yuan Shao's vassal.

Regardless of Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, there are many independent lords and tribes under the forces. Even if Cao Cao surrenders to Yuan Shao, he can remain independent.

In contrast, if he takes refuge in Chutian, Chutian will completely take away all his territory, troops and talents. Chutian does not allow his subordinates to have independent forces.

"Cao Cao wants to surrender to me?"

Yuan Shao defeated Liu Bei, gradually encroaching on Julu County, and became the lord of five counties. His territory was larger than Cao Cao's and his power was stronger. He received a letter from Cao Cao, Cao Cao was willing to become his vassal, only to defeat Yuan Shao and send troops to support he.

"By taking Cao Cao as a vassal, the lord can have eight counties, far exceeding Chu Zimou's six counties, and the lord's influence can also reach the south of the Yellow River."

Zhao Long persuaded Yuan Shao to accept Cao Cao again.

"I plan to present Cao Cao as the prefect of Yanzhou to fight against Chu Zimou. At the same time, I am the governor of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou military."

In order to win over Cao Cao and expand his influence in the area south of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao brought Cao Cao's three prefectures into his sphere of influence, and at the same time planned to encroach on Qingzhou.

"Qingzhou Plain Aida Qi asks for attachment!"

"Zhao Gongzi, the prefect of Donglai, Qingzhou, asks for attachment!"

After Cao Cao decided to attach himself to Yuan Shao, two other princes from Qingzhou asked to attach himself to Yuan Shao's forces.

Among them, Pingyuan Xiangtianqi controls the Pingyuan County in Qingzhou, as well as the three prefectures of Jinan and Le'an, and Zhao Gongzi, the prefect of Donglai, also controls the three prefectures!

With their six prefectures attached to them, Yuan Shao's power swelled again, with a total of fourteen prefectures!

Because of Yuan Shao's victory in the Battle of Julu, his prestige has soared, and the princes from all over the world have attached to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao surpassed Yuan Shu and became the first prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Yuan Shao's forces swept across Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, shaking the entire Eastern Han at one time!

All the players have an illusion, it seems that all the princes must rely on Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is about to become the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Yuan Shao, why is he from the Yuan family again..."

Chutian had just suppressed Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's power had almost collapsed, and now a more powerful Yuan Shao group had emerged, gathering the power of fourteen counties.

The princes who were suppressed by Chutian fell to Yuan Shao's camp, which allowed vassals to become independent.

All these princes knew that they would be annexed by Chutian, so they used Yuan Shao's power to form an alliance.

The Yuan family brothers are really worrying.

Facing the mighty Yuan Shao Group, Chu Tian was just a little surprised and not too worried.

Yuan Shao's group is a loose alliance, and in fact it is still small and medium-sized princes. Even in the five counties of Jizhou controlled by Yuan Shao's name, Wei Long, the prefect of Wei County, accounts for a large share.

There is also a prince who has not received much attention from Chutian - Pingyuan Xiangtianqi joined Yuan Shao's group.

Tian Qi and Zhao Gongzi are the only two remaining princes in Qingzhou, and they each occupy half of Qingzhou. Tian Qi was also obviously worried that after Chu Tian eliminated Zhao Gongzi, his territory would also be attacked.

Fang Xuanling heard of the formation of Yuan Shao's group, so he suggested to Chu Tian, ​​"Why didn't the lord form his own alliance and go head-to-head with Yuan Shao?"

"Young Master Wen... and Liu Bei?"

If Chutian brought Gongzi Wen, who had two prefectures, and Liu Bei, who had four prefectures, to form an alliance, then there would be twelve prefectures, which could completely rival the fourteen prefectures of Yuan Shao's clique.

"Young Master Wen will definitely be on my side. As for Liu Bei, he just lost to Yuan Shao, so he will definitely be happy to join the alliance."

Chutian dispatched an envoy at will, and used the teleportation array to send Liu Bei's envoy to Zhongshan, so that Liu Bei could interfere with Yuan Shao in the rear.

"Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou still remember me Liu Xuande?"

Liu Bei received Chutian's request for an alliance and was greatly surprised. Liu Bei, who had become an enemy of Yuan Shao, quickly accepted the alliance.

Now Liu Bei's identity is only the Prime Minister of Zhongshan, which is far from the status of Chutian Xuzhou Mu and General An Dong. He joined Chutian's alliance to reverse the trend and improve morale. Yuan Shao wanted to destroy him, and it was not that easy.

As the princes in the north and south of the Yellow River stood in line one after another, two major forces formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

One faction is headed by Yuan Shao, the minister of Jizhou, with Cao Cao, the prefect of Dong County, Zhao Long, the prefect of Wei County, Zhao Gongzi, the prefect of Donglai, and Tian Qi, the prime minister of Pingyuan. They have 14 counties and states!

One faction is headed by Mu Chutian of Xuzhou, there are Prince Wen, the prefect of Jiyin, and Liu Bei, the prime minister of Zhongshan, and it owns twelve counties!

There are also some small princes who own several counties and one county in the middle of the two big forces. At this time, the two groups are fighting with each other, and the small princes have no room to intervene at all, and can only wait for the opportunity.

"Chu Zimou forced Cao Mengde to join Yuan Shao, and even the princes of Qingzhou also attached to Yuan Shao. It seems that Chu Zimou's army scared a lot of people. If it is the Warring States period now, Chu Zimou is like a strong Qin, six The country naturally wants to join forces. Unfortunately, Cao Cao, Zhao Gongzi and others are different from the stupid kings of the Six Kingdoms, they will not be defeated by Zhang Yi individually. Only force can make them surrender."

Jiujiu Lao Qin heard that the Yuan Shao Group and the Chutian Group were formed in Guandong, and the war between the two sides continued, so he added fuel to the flames and suggested that Dong Zhuo appoint Cao Cao as the prefect of Yanzhou, Prince Zhao of Beihai State as the prefect of Qingzhou, and Zhao Long, the prefect of Wei County, as the prefect of Youzhou. Conflict between two large groups.

Guandong is fighting, while Jiujiu Lao Qin is plotting against Dong Zhuo.

Situ Wang Yun and Lü Bu reached a conspiracy, as long as Dong Zhuo was killed, Lü Bu could replace him.

In Chang'an City, after the end of the normal court meeting, Dong Zhuo's motorcade went outside Beiye Gate.

On the city wall, Jiujiu Lao Qin and Jia Xu squinted as they watched Dong Zhuo's motorcade approach gradually.

Their conspiracy will completely change the pattern of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Jia Xu said: "The assassination of Dong Zhuo this time will definitely be a bloodbath. The battle between the Xiliang Army Corps and the Bingzhou Army Corps will lead to corpses everywhere in Guanzhong."

"If one will succeed, ten thousand bones will die, and those who want to achieve great things will not stick to the small details."

Jiujiu Lao Qin is mentally prepared.

At present, Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, held the Fang Tianhua halberd to protect Dong Zhuo's frame.

Dong Zhuo was already very old, a generation older than Cao Cao, he had lost his ambition to unify the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he just wanted to live in peace.

When the convoy was only 20 meters away from the city gate, Dong Zhuo's subordinate, Li Su, a villager of Lv Bu, led a group of rebels to charge out and attack Dong Zhuo's convoy!

The halberd-wielding rebels stabbed Dong Zhuo's carriage, and Dong Zhuo had to get out of the carriage to escape.

Dong Zhuo was about to draw his sword, but Li Su stabbed his arm with a halberd, and his sword fell to the ground!

"Where is Lu Bu?!"

Dong Zhuo looked around in panic and found that the city gate was closed, and Lü Bu held Fang Tianhua halberd and was indifferent.

"You...you!"

Dong Zhuo immediately understood that Lu Bu, Li Su and other Bingzhou people had betrayed him!

"There is an edict against the thieves!"

Lu Bu took out the edict and stabbed his foster father to death with Fang Tian Hua Ji!

Seeing that the boat was done, Li Su led the rebel army to behead all Dong Zhuo's master bookkeeper and servants, blood spattered on the streets of Chang'an, and everyone was shocked!

"Lu Bu is indeed a good pawn. The father is kind and the son is filial."

Jiujiu Lao Qin didn't feel much ups and downs when he saw Dong Zhuo's death. Dong Zhuo was no longer worth using, so he had to ask him to die.

Jia Xu said: "Chang'an will soon become a dangerous city, please return to Xianyang City immediately to clean up the mess."

"Please Wen He also follow me to Xianyang City, otherwise it will be dangerous."

"No. Li Jue, Guo Si and others are from Liangzhou, and their subordinates have a way to convince them."

"Then please be careful with Wen and everything."

Jiujiu Lao Qin saw that Dong Zhuo was dead and left the dangerous Chang'an.

When the news of Dong Zhuo's death spread throughout Chang'an City, Chang'an was shocked, and there was an earthquake in Guanzhong!

Situ Wang Yun quickly spread the word to pacify the gates of the city, and recruited soldiers and horses to defend the city.

Wang Yun recorded the affairs of the book, and took charge of the state affairs. At the same time, he appointed Lu Bu as the general of Fenwu.

Lü Bu wanted to appoint Li Su, Gao Shun and other generals and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army.

Jia Xu took the opportunity to speak to Wang Yun, suggesting that Dong Zhuo's army of Xiliang should be disbanded, and the power of the generals of Xiliang should be cut off, so as to avoid the rebirth of the rebellious army of Xiliang.

Jiujiu Lao Qin was chasing the shadows in the whole Guanzhong. It was rumored that Wang Yun and Lu Bu were going to kill all Liangzhou people.

The three became tigers. Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang legions believed the rumors, called the army, vowed to march, attacked Chang'an City, and avenged Dong Zhuo!

Originally, the Guanzhong area under Dong Zhuo's control was relatively peaceful, but after Dong Zhuo's death, the Guanzhong area was in flames, and the war did not stop!

The arrogant Wang Yun and Lu Bu were attacked by the arrogant soldiers of Xiliang!

The Xiliang Army had a large number of second- and third-rate generals and elite soldiers in a hundred battles. The Bingzhou Army, such as Lu Bu and Gao Shun, suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Luoyang.

When the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army fought, they realized that Jijilaoqin, the alien lord of Xianyang City, had an elite army, so they turned to Jijilaoqin for help.

Jiujiu Lao Qin's team will depend on the ownership of Chang'an City!

"Tell them I'm not going to support either side, and I'm not going to attack from behind."

Jiujiu Lao Qin stood on the wall of Xianyang City with his hands behind his back, and he could already see the beacon fire of Chang'an City. The Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army fought, with countless casualties.

"My lord, Li Ru asks to see you."

"Let him come to see me."

Soon, a strategist who escaped from Chang'an City came to the city wall in embarrassment, pointed at the old Qin Hao and asked, "It must be you, you are behind everything! You killed Dong Zhuo, and Jia Xu is also yours. people!"

"Li Ru, Dong Zhuo is dead, so why be angry about a dead man? Since you can leave the city alive, it means that you should not die. It's better to be loyal to me, we have to fight in the Central Plains, won't it be much better than Dong Zhuo's death in Guanzhong all his life? already?"
