Chapter 521 Princes with Different Minds

Zhu Junruo fled to his hometown Kuaiji County. Whether he participated in the attack on Dong or not, his political future stopped there. He could not recruit soldiers from Kuaiji County and then travel thousands of miles to Sourjuana. However, he could run to Jingzhou, relying on his connections when pacifying the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, his prestige won the support of some Nanyang clans. He could recruit some soldiers, but this would harm Yuan Shu's interests.

Sun Jian went north from Changsha County, killing the governor of Jingzhou and the prefect of Nanyang. Sun Jian's actions may not have much impact on other parts of Jingzhou, but this does not include Nanyang County.

After the prefect of Nanyang County was lost and the Yuan brothers raised high flags to attack Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu had become the de facto prefect of Nanyang. Zhu Jun fled to Nanyang County and was also quite influential in Nanyang County. Will Yuan Shu hope that Zhu Jun will stay in Nanyang County?

Some people may say that Dong Hu’s idea is a bit nonsense, but there is something that cannot be ignored. Since the death of Kong Yichang, the maid of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu recommended Sun Jian as the maid of Yuzhou instead of Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun was obviously one of the four major generals who wiped out the Yellow Turban Army. Whether in official positions, prestige in the army, or experience in combat, they were not comparable to those of the Yuan brothers. Moreover, Sun Jian was just a Sima of Zhu Jun's other subordinate in the first year of Zhongping. Such a respected person joined the Dongdong Alliance, so why should he have a considerable position?

Even if he was not the leader of the alliance, he would give General Cheqi to Yuan Shao, General Cavalry, General Cheqi and Cavalry, and General Guard. He should give one? Yuan Shu, a playboy, can become a senior general and the most experienced veteran among all the princes. Can’t he be a general at the level of "front, back, left and right"?

Even if you don’t give the title of the four generals “front, back, left and right”, after Kong Qicheng died of illness, the governor of Yuzhou can always do it?

The fact is not. It was not until after the disbandment of the Sour Jujube Alliance, Tao Qian, the Xuzhou Mu, who did not participate in the Sour Jujube Alliance, seemed to have woken up at this time. He actually wanted to support Zhu Jun as the General of the Chariot and Cavalry and wanted Zhu Jun to take the lead in rebellion. However, Zhu Jun was abnormal at this time and accepted the edict sent by Li Jue and returned to the court...

It sounds like it is difficult to understand, but Dong Hu doesn't think it is such a difficult thing. If it were him, he would have made such a choice. He either accepts the edict and returns to the court, or returns to his hometown to retire with a butt, and only a little bit of the world's affairs, otherwise he will die!

When the three brothers Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Yi rebelled and formed the Sour Jujube Dong Alliance, there was actually no Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian was nothing, and there was no Ma Teng, the "Eighteen Routes" princes. But after the Sour Jujube Alliance was disbanded, Tao Qian actually supported Zhu Jun to replace Yuan Shao as the General of the Chariot and Cavalry, which was interesting.

When others rebel, you, Tao Qian, don’t rebel; when they all go home and their own kids, you, Tao Qian, are going to rebel again! What do you, Tao Qian, mean? What will the princes who rebel from all walks of life think?

Tao Qian became an alien among all the rebellious princes, but he also suggested that Zhu Jun replace Yuan Shao's chariot and cavalry generals. Regardless of whether Tao Qian wanted to use Zhu Jun's prestige to raise his ideas, it can also be seen from the side that Zhu Jun's facts were in conflict of interest with the Yuan brothers. On the surface, he laughed and praised his husband was nothing, but the key was his real actions.

Zhu Jun was not tolerated by all the princes. His prestige was much higher than others. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Kong Yichang, the governor of Yuzhou, were all promoted by Dong Zhuo after he took office. They were all minor officials or civilians before. Are they qualified to compete with Zhu Jun for prestige?

No!

The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei has this prestige. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have this prestige?

Also not!

No matter where Zhu Jun goes, it will directly affect the authority of a group of princes who want to become kings. Naturally, they will not sincerely accept it. If the soldiers and soldiers are following him, Zhu Jun, these princes will be fooled!

After being excluded from many people, Zhu Jun had only two choices. One was to return home honestly to retire and completely withdraw from politics; the other was to fight to seize the rights left over from Dong Zhuo after his death. For example, after entering Chang'an, he first served as the Taifu, then the Taiwei, and then the General of the Cavalry, and pacified the princes of Guandong...

The General of Cavalry is second only to the General, and he polites the princes of Guandong. Who are the princes of Guandong? Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Liu Biao... Do these guys listen to him and Zhu Jun? Of course, they don't listen. If they were obedient, Zhu Jun would not run to Li Jue Guo Si's wolf den, so Zhu Jun did not leave Guanzhong and did not run to supervise the princes of Guandong. He then turned to serve as the Grand Secretary. After that... the situation in the court completely lost control. Li Jue fought with Guo Si. Li Jue stole the emperor, Guo Si seized Zhu Jun, Yang Biao and a group of ministers, and Zhu Jun was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick...

Dong Hu's appearance did affect the trajectory of some people, but some things were unable to affect them. Zhu Jun's prestige in the officialdom and the army crushed all the princes. Only Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo could compete with Zhu Jun in the army. In this regard, even the Yuan family, which had four generations and three dukes, could not compete with Zhu Jun.

Of course, "military prestige" is the prestige in the military system of the Han Dynasty, not the army of all the princes, and the army of rebels from all the generals to soldiers, from generals to soldiers, they are all people who suddenly rise up in the chaos, but no matter what, the people in the world still know who the four generals belong to, and this is also part of the prestige.

Zhu Jun's prestige is too great, which directly threatens the actual rights and prestige of all princes, and will naturally be excluded by everyone. Just like Yuan Shao and others are not in the hall where they are discussing. Although they are all members of the anti-Dong, they are also extremely special.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital, obviously he wanted to enter Chang'an and the three assistants were not out. All the princes wanted Dong Zhuo to live his own life in Guanzhong. In this way, they could also seize the territory with peace of mind, but Dong Hu's appearance became the biggest threat, especially the threat he brought about by snatching the people of Chenliu County.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and countless people were forced to move into Guanzhong. Even if the eight passes of Luoyang were completely abolished, it would be impossible to hold on even if they wanted to hold on. No one provided food and supplies for the soldiers. But Dong Hu was now robbing the people of Chenliu County to enrich Luoyang, and Luoyang became the sword of Damocles above everyone's heads.

Who can withstand the threat at all times?

The more Dong Hu robbed the people of Chenliu County, the more uneasy Yuan Shao felt, the more he wanted to kill Dong Hu, but their battlefield experience was really poor. The only one with rich experience was Zhu Jun, but...

Yuan Shao thought about it for a while, and then thought about it, but finally he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't even say a reason for opposing it on the surface, but others seemed to know the reason, neither spoke up nor opposed it on the surface.

"I thought about it over and over again, and felt that what Brother Liu said was reasonable. Dong Hu was the best at rushing to attack others' fragile rears. In this battle, I led a 100,000 army to suppress the thieves. Boye (Yuan Yi), Yuanwei (Qiaomao) and general Wen Chou were defended. Gong Wei (Zhu Jun) stationed troops in Junyi, Yuanwei (Qiaomao) stationed troops in Fengqiu, and Wenju (Kong Rong) stationed troops in Xiaohuang. In this way, the thieves would not be able to cut off our army's retreat, and the morale of the army would be stable."

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Miao again.

"Meng Gao (Zhang Chao) went to Yangdi, and Gongxu (Kong Yichang) must have sent troops to help. In this way, our army is not only ten times more than the thief, but also attacked each other, and the thieves will inevitably retreat and flee. Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao) does not need to worry too much."

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Zhang Miao was truly relieved. What he was most worried about was that Yuan Shao was unwilling to send troops to rescue him.

The situation is similar to Zhu Jun. Zhang Miao is a big boss among the Qingliu Party members and a veteran boss who has experienced the Party and Prison period. Not only is he very prestigious among the Qingliu Scholars, but his younger brother Zhang Chao is the real contactor of the Sour Jujube Alliance. His position in the Sour Jujube Alliance is naturally unusual, and this directly threatens Yuan Shao's position as "leader".

Yuan Shao's relationship with Zhang Miao was extremely tense in private, and even had the idea of ​​killing the Zhang brothers many times, but Cao Cao was extremely opposed. This was also an important point for Zhang Miao to have a good impression of Cao Cao.

As long as it involves power and status, even Yuan Shao, who is the two brothers, will become a mortal enemy, let alone the relationship between the Yuan brothers and others. However, no matter how much they don’t like Zhang Miao when it comes to life and death, Yuan Shao can only lead the army to rescue him. As for killing Xingyang, he will directly kill him in front of Dong Hu... Yuan Shao is not so stupid yet.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both saw Sun Niu with their own eyes, how Hu San wiped out the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army? How many Dong Buyi was under Dingying City that day? How many are there today?

Not counting the 20,000 to 30,000 captured soldiers, there were 15,000 light and heavy infantrymen in the military camp, and 10,000 light and heavy infantrymen in the Shanzi camp. Zhang Liao and Pang De had a total of 7,000 cavalry, and the four men combined a total of 32,000 elite troops.

Yuan Shao killed from the north to Chenliu County, and Kong Qi rushed from the south to the south. The coalition forces could attack Zhang Liao, Pang De and others from the north to the south. But if Yuan Shao killed Dong Hu, then Dong Hu, Zhang Liao, Sun Niu, Hu San and others attacked him Yuan Shao in front and behind.

Chenliu is a heavy city, and Xingyang is even a strong city. Because of the special status of guarding Luoyang grain transfer station Ao Cang, it is better to say that Xingyang is a military city than a county town. It is a strong and tall existence than Chenliu City. If Dong Hu does not escape, he will not even defend Xingyang City to death. Yuan Shao will not be able to easily take Xingyang. He only needs to hold on for two months. Even if Dong Zhuo does not send troops to rescue him, Da Ya, San Ya, Yao Shan, Yao Yong, Hua Xiong, and Dong Xiaoyi will also draw 100,000 troops from Liang and rescue him.

These are only considered from tactics, strength, and the ability of the soldiers to mobilize. The core of the army is the soldiers' own combat power. The princes of all walks of life have rushed to raise their troops and join forces in a hurry, and they have no time to train soldiers. Not to mention letting the soldiers be familiar with each other and adapted, whether the generals of each army can effectively command the soldiers is a question. How could Dong Hu be afraid of such soldiers like scattered sand?

Dong Hu was not worried that Yuan Shao would fight to the city of Xingyang with all his might. The facts also proved that Yuan Shao was not so stupid.

The sour jujube is only a hundred miles away from Chenliu County. It only takes one day for the cavalry and the infantry to march urgently. However, if 100,000 people march, it will be much slower and there are more things to prepare. Moreover, once Yuan Shao crosses the Bian Canal, he may be attacked and besieged by Zhang Liao, Pang De and others at any time. It is difficult to say whether the defeat of one part will cause a great defeat if the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. Therefore, you must prepare more carefully. It is hard to say what time it takes.

Unlike this, Zhang Liao, Pang De and others were all cavalrymen with one person and two horses. Even if they ran from Jiwu County to Kaifeng, if they were left behind, they would only take one day and night to march quickly. They would fight as long as they wanted and leave as they wanted.
