Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

In the cold winter, snowflakes drifted in the air, coating the black earth with white pieces. In the camp of Guangzong's Han army, there were scattered bonfires, which added a bit of warmth to the cold season.

Cao Cao took his personal soldiers to bake in front of the fire. Today is the siege battle of the Han army wearing yellow scarves. On the contrary, it was Sun Jian, who had to go into battle to kill the enemy every seven or eight days, and earned a lot of military exploits.

Xiahou Dun was so depressed by the stark contrast, he sat on the ground and smoked the fire. "Brother, when will I be able to play?"

Brother Cao put on the armor and brought the horses: "You go to training, don't be slack. I will take people to the west to find out the news."

Xiahou Dun heard the words and stood up with a wooden branch: "What? The court's food and grass haven't arrived yet?"

"It's more than food and grass, even General He has no news..."

already."

Cao Cao has ordered people to mount, and waved to Xiahou Dun: "Let's train, I'm afraid... Luoyang has changed."

Luo Yang has changed.

The four-year-old prince Liu Xie was held in the arms of the Empress Dowager Dong. He was wearing an imperial robe with a black background and a red pattern and a small crown on his head. Although the Mian is small, the number of bead curtains hanging down from the front and back is also the twelve that the emperor enjoys.

However, he couldn't see clearly and maybe better.

He Jin rushed into the main hall with his troops and horses murderous, and the eunuchs from the Queen and the First Prince had already helped him open the palace gate. When He Jin rushed in with the sword in hand, there were **** footprints one step at a time, and the blood dripping from the sword was dripping next to the footprints.

"Big... bold!" cried the Queen Mother, "Do you want to be disrespectful to Her Majesty?"

"Your Majesty?" He Jin's expression was so gloomy that water dripped, "Where did you come from, Your Majesty?" . But Little Liu didn't dare to cry, and only held his grandmother's shirt tightly with his hands.

"The emperor left a legacy before his death..."

"The country depends on Changjun, it is impossible for the first emperor to abolish the elders and establish the young!" He Jin shouted, pointing his sword at the Empress Dowager Dong, "It's such a traitorous and poisonous woman, for her own selfishness, When I go out to pacify the chaos, I will be punished for setting up a false imperial edict!"

Empress Dowager Dong, no, it is Empress Dowager Dong Tai now. Even if she was ignorant and shallow, her face showed despair at this time, and she closed her eyes: "Where's the Hussar General Dong Zhong? Where is my family?"

Liu Xie took a peek at it and saw a copper bell with big eyes that couldn't rest. He was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head.

The man in the armor was Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth and third princes, but what he said was cold.

He Jin nodded, raised his hand and waved, and a soldier stepped forward and wiped Empress Dowager Dong's neck. The Dong family, who was born in a poor family, became the concubine of the king because of luck, gave birth to the only son of the king because of luck, and became the most honorable woman in the whole empire as his son ruled the world. In the end, blood was splashed on the Nangong hall. .

He Jin, who came from a more humble background, showed a contemptuous sneer at her corpse, and then instructed the **** to remove Liu Xie's robe and take away the child who was wearing only a single coat.

"Go, call the civil and military officials. The first emperor died, and the eldest son Liu Bian succeeded." Sister and nephew who took refuge.

Yuan Shao followed behind him, walking towards the outside where the cold wind was howling, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"In the beginning, you have done a great job this time! If it weren't for your secret communication, I would have been guarding the gate without knowing anything. When I return to Luoyang, Liu Xie's children have finished offering sacrifices. Heaven and earth!"

"Hahaha." He Jin laughed loudly, "In the beginning, don't worry, I will reciprocate the support of the aristocratic family. When the new emperor ascends the throne, the world will be amnesty and the party will be lifted."

Yuan Shao leaned closer and lowered his voice: "There are still eunuchs."

He Jin had his hands behind his back, hesitant.

"What is the general hesitating about? The eunuchs are chasing the country, causing moth thieves to wreak havoc on life. Could it be that the new emperor has just been established, and the general will continue to lead troops to entangle with the moth thieves? The head of the permanent attendant appeases the hearts of the people, how long will it wait?"

He Jin finally gave a sloppy look: "I will discuss with the Queen Mother again."

When the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty changed, there would be blood and blood in Luoyang. The winner ascends to the sky in one step, and the loser has no bones left. The moment of Emperor Ling's death was no exception, even more tragic because of the gullibility and indecision of his foreign relatives.

The 16th day of the first month was originally the day when the new emperor and the new empress dowager invited General He to hold a family banquet. Yuan Shao and others tried their best to dissuade He Jin from going, but He Jin refused: "I am in power now, and the emperor has authorized me to bring guards into the palace. Is it still afraid that they will fail?"

So he did not come back, only a **** head was thrown out of the palace gate.

The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, not to mention the **** group who had already noticed the strangeness. And for eunuchs, killing relatives is already a routine. When Emperor Huan killed Liang Ji, when Emperor Ling killed Chen Fan and Dou Wu, and now killing He Jin, is it more and more convenient?

But unfortunately, the eunuchs underestimated Yuan Shao's boldness.

At night, Yuan Shao led a total of more than 5,000 soldiers from the commander's department to enter the palace. Firelight shot up from the bustling palace, and there was only one slogan mixed in the sound of hacking: "Kill all the eunuchs and avenge the general!"

The full moon was obscured by clouds, and when it showed its brilliance again, the era of eunuchs was over, and the era of relatives was over, but what was about to begin was not the era of Yuan Shao.

Twenty miles north of Luoyang City, in the camp of the Xiliang Army. In front of Dong Zhuo was a gray-haired **** kneeling, and on Dong Zhuo's desk was a widow with a large seal. There are only a few crooked words on the edict:

"After my death, the second prince Liu Xie inherited the ancestral temple."

The candlelight illuminated Dong Zhuo's face, even more shiny than the roast lamb on the plate. "Jian Shuo, what do you mean?"

"I have served the late emperor for more than 20 years, and I can't be more clear about his intentions." The old **** burst into tears, "But the Empress Dowager Dong passed away, and the second prince was alone in the palace. Relying on the support of the family, the brothers and sisters are arrogant and domineering. You are a distant relative of the Empress Dowager Dong, and you have received the kindness of the previous emperor. Apart from you, I can never find anyone who can correct the chaos and help the orthodox."

"This..."

The real interests made Dong Zhuo excited. He put away the will and stuffed it into his sleeve.

The situation in Luoyang is changing rapidly, and the news in Jizhou is seriously lagging behind.

When the news of the new emperor ascending the throne reached the front, it was already the first day of the first lunar month. Cao Cao and the others just captured Guangzong, sitting on the corpse of the enemy army wrapped in yellow cloth, surrounded by a mess of destroyed flags.

Cao Cao was still wearing armor, so he couldn't stand up. He just wiped the black ashes on his face: "What did you say?"

The messenger who sent the order was ten times cleaner than Cao Cao.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Got it."

"Brother, Luo Yang really is..." Xiahou Dun came up, "Then what should we do?"

He Jin can leave the yellow turban and run back to Luoyang to become the country's uncle, but Huangfu Song's department can't. No matter what, we have to solve Zhang Jiao first. Wouldn't it be a joke if the army here had just withdrawn, and the Yellow Turbans over there shouted "The sky is dead" and killed him?

The news of the party's lifting of the amnesty came, and Cao Cao borrowed food, grass, quilts and clothes from the Jizhou big family, and he felt ashes.

The news of Yuan Shao's appointment as Sili Commander came, and Cao Cao was leading the soldiers to break the ice to fish for fish, and his hands were frozen enough to give each person half of the fish.

People are going to fall.

He knew that Yuan Shao was ambitious, and he could imagine the monstrous hatred of the nobles for eunuchs, but he couldn't understand Dong Zhuo's shameless way of doing things.

"Dong Zhuo, shouldn't you come to Jizhou to take over the army on the North Road? How did you get into Luoyang, and then abolish it yourself?" Cao Cao clenched his fists and knocked on several cases. , they are fighting for power and profits in Luoyang, and even the food and grass have been delayed for many months, what should we do?"

The soldiers were even more at a loss: "Dong Zhuo said that the last emperor's edict ordered him to go to Beijing to support the young master to ascend the throne. Then who is the loyal minister and who is the Jiao Zhao? Well, in fact, whoever is loyal and who is the Jiao Zhao We don't care either, when will we withdraw, General? Brothers can't stand it anymore."

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at Huangfu Song, waiting for him to make up his mind. At this time, younger brother Zhang Jiao who escaped was no longer the main contradiction. The main contradiction was hunger.

Huangfu Song kept calm in the face of danger, while letting the soldiers hunt and fish, while moving towards Luoyang. "Our Huangfu family is a general in Liangzhou. We have always only known how to protect the country and the people, and resist foreign humiliation." He told the generals, "Now that the supply of military rations in the turbulent dynasty is helpless, you must not hold grudges."

But he was always upset.

Cao Cao hates **** coups, which reminds him of the winter when he lost his grandfather many years ago. Memories are blurred, only anger and fear linger.

In April of the first year of Guangxi, the army that ran out of food and forage returned to Luoyang with Zhang Jiao's body. Lu Zhi's former team was much miserable, but only escaped the prison.

Because the Yellow Turban Uprising killed a lot of local officials, Dong Zhuo sent generals of all levels of the pacifying army to various places to fill the vacancies of the prefect and county magistrate, and at the same time let them pacify the chaos on their own.

Cao Cao originally wanted to go back to Youzhou, but somehow he was not promised, and he was sent to Qingzhou Plain County to be the prefect. As the estuary of the big river [1] at this time, Pingyuan County has fertile land and dense water network.

What is even more surprising is that Gongsun Du, who also wanted to return to Youzhou, was sent to Beihai State as the state minister [2], opposite Cao Cao's Pingyuan County on the left, and Donglai in Ah Sheng on the right County became a neighbor.

The author has something to say: Note [1]: The Yellow River at this time was not called the Yellow River, but the Great River. Before the soil erosion in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the geographical environment of the lower reaches of the Yellow River can refer to today's Yangtze River Delta.

Note [2]: In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the state and the county were at the same level, similar to the level relationship between the province and the autonomous region. The prefect and the prime minister are both officials of the two thousand stone districts, and they hold the military and political power in one place. However, there is also a vassal king who collects taxes on the head of the prime minister. If the king colludes with the tyrants, the prime minister may be put on hold.
