Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

The capital of Bohai County in Jizhou was Nanpi County.

The biting cold wind was mixed with heavy snow flakes falling. Yuan Shao, wrapped in a thick fur coat, stood in the yard and listened to the document sent by Feng Jilian Qiao Mao to attack Dong Zhuo.

"Now the traitor Dong has rebelled against the emperor, arbitrarily deposed and enthroned, poisoned the empress dowager, persecuted officials, and brought disaster upon the people... Throughout history, there have been countless tyrants, rebels, and disloyal men, as well as those who were greedy, cruel, and ruthless, none more so than Yu Zhuo. All prefectures and counties should muster their troops and stand ready to fight, to save the country and establish a reputation for virtue. This is now enacted. Act as the law!"

After Feng Ji finished writing a long and eloquent anti-rebel manifesto, his expression was slightly excited. "Benchu, this is your time to roar like a tiger in the mountains. Once Yuan Wei (Qiao Mao's pen name) releases this document, heroes across the world will surely respond. Benchu ​​comes from the Yuan family of Runan. All you need to do is raise your arms and the position of leader of the anti-rebel alliance will surely fall to you."

After he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Shao still staring at the snowflakes quietly, without any reaction. Feng Ji was quite surprised and called out, "Benchu?"

Yuan Shao came back to his senses, his eyes filled with unconcealed melancholy and loss. "I originally thought my uncle appointed me Governor of Bohai because he valued me, but after coming here, I realized that he only valued that kid Yuan Shu."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "As soon as I arrived in Bohai, Dong Zhuo appointed Han Fu as governor of Jizhou, putting me under his control. Now I'm trapped in this courtyard, unable to leave. How can I raise my arms and make a call? My uncle is so unfair. He gave Yuan Shu the rich land of Nanyang, only to have me come here to be controlled by Han Fu. If I had known this would happen, I should have joined Meng De in raising an army in Luoyang. Even if we lost, it would have been better than the life I'm living now."

Hearing that Yuan Shao was actually depressed by this, Feng Ji laughed out loud and said, "Benchu ​​has misunderstood Yuan Taifu. He values ​​you more."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao turned around and looked at Feng Ji in confusion.

Feng Ji said, "After the anti-Dong alliance rises up, the world will inevitably fall into chaos. Although Han Fu is the governor of Jizhou, he is only a mediocre person. How can he defend this precious land? What Yuan Taifu is giving you is actually the entire Jizhou. It all depends on whether you have the ability to take it."

"Jizhou?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up slightly. "How do we take it?"

"Of course it's not advisable right now. After this battle against Dong Zhuo, I have a way to make Han Fu give up Jizhou on his own."

Yuan Shao was half-believing and half-doubting. Although Han Fu was a disciple of the Yuan family, he would not give up the rich land of Jizhou even if his uncle asked him to do so.

Yuan Shao added, "Even so, Han Fu is wary of me and may not let me leave Bohai this time."

"Benchu ​​is relieved. As long as you respond to the call to punish Dong Zhuo, how dare Han Fu stop you? Not only will he not stop you, he will even support you."

At this time, anyone who obstructs the attack on Dong Zhuo will be classified as Dong Zhuo's faction, and everyone in the world will attack him together.

Yuan Shao thought about it and understood the logic behind it. Remembering what his uncle had said the day before he left Luoyang, Yuan Shao felt his whole body warm up. He took off his thick fur coat, holding it in his hands, and said loudly, "Quickly draft the document and swear to punish the thief Dong!"

"promise!"

Feng Ji bowed and was about to draft the document when he heard Yuan Shao say, "Wait a minute."

The excitement on Yuan Shao's face had faded, replaced by a look of worry. "My uncle is still in Luoyang. If I raise an army, his life will be in danger!"

Feng Ji sighed softly and said, "Taifu Yuan, there's no solution to this matter. Think about why he let you two leave Luoyang in the first place. If you don't respond this time, not only will all his efforts and hopes be wasted, but you won't have another chance in the future."

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, then put on his thick fur coat and waved to Feng Ji, "Go!"

…………

Han Fu was timid to begin with, and on the third day after Yuan Shao made the announcement, he sent people to Nanpi to express his willingness to support Yuan Shao's uprising.

Thus, the vigorous war against Dong officially kicked off. The heroes who rose up in arms elected Yuan Shao, who was a descendant of three generations of officials, as the leader of the alliance. However, as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao's status as a county chief was obviously not enough. Yuan Shao also proclaimed himself the General of Chariots and Cavalry, and acted as the military and political officer of Guandong.

Because the distances varied, the princes who responded to the call to attack Dong Zhuo were roughly divided into three groups.

The first group included Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, and Wang Kuang from Youzhou and Jizhou. Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang stationed their troops in Henei and advanced towards Xiaopingjin and Mengjin Pass in the north of Luoyang. Han Fu stayed in Yecheng to supply food and fodder. The troops sent by Gongsun Zan were on the way.

The second route came from Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Liu Dai, Cao Cao, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Kong Zhu, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and Yuan Yi stationed their troops in Suanzao and advanced directly towards Sishui Pass, the gateway to Luoyang, preparing to control Xingyang and Chenggao.

The third route was Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Yuan Shu and Sun Jian went north from Nanyang, preparing to attack Henan Yin from Guangcheng Pass.

Although Dong Zhuo had long known that some people would disobey him, Dong Zhongying, the sheer magnitude of the opposition surprised and frightened him. He paced back and forth beneath the throne, furiously cursing the various princes, "You ungrateful traitors! Which of them wasn't appointed by me? And now you're banding together to rebel against me? Damn you, damn you all!"

The feeling of betrayal made Dong Zhuo even more violent.

He pointed at Yuan Wei and shouted to Li Su, the Lieutenant General of the Tiger Guards, "Drag this old man out and chop him up immediately! Chop him up! Exterminate his entire clan! Sacrifice him!"

Because of his meritorious service in protecting Dong Qing, Li Su was highly recommended by Dong Qing behind the scenes and was promoted from a captain under Lu Bu to a General of the Tiger Guards, in charge of the night guards, with a rank equivalent to that of a two thousand stone official.

"Yes!" Li Su responded and called two soldiers to come up and capture Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei had expected this day to come since Qiao Mao raised the anti-Dong banner a month ago. Fortunately, his descendants of the Yuan family were promising and did not shrink back because their family was trapped in Luoyang. Shao'er even took on the heavy responsibility of being the leader of the anti-Dong alliance.

There was no fear in Yuan Wei's eyes at this moment. On the contrary, his weathered face was full of pride and pride. This child finally got rid of his indecisive habit. In the future, the world will definitely belong to the Yuan family. He died a worthy death!

Yuan Wei waved his sleeves, dismissing the soldiers who were about to arrest him, and said righteously, "I will leave on my own!"

Emperor Xian Liu Xie, who was not even ten years old, huddled on the dragon throne, watching Dong Zhuo who was furious in the hall and Yuan Wei who was taken away by the soldiers. He was so scared that he dared not breathe.

All the ministers below stood with their heads bowed, silent. Anyone who spoke at this time would have to die with Yuan Wei.

Dong Zhuo vented his anger for a long time before slowly calming down. He said, "These three armies are coming in a siege. Niu Fu previously went to Hedong County to deal with Bai Bo but failed to achieve any success. Bai Bo's army is running around in Hedong, watching us covetously. If they march south to cut off the road to Guanxi, then all the roads to Luoyang will be cut off. Guanzhong is already short of food and fodder. Even if this prime minister has many elite soldiers and generals, they will surely collapse. What should we do?"

Speaking of Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo felt depressed again. He had previously asked Niu Fu to lead 3,000 elite troops from Xiliang to deal with a mere bandit, but he was defeated and forced to flee in panic. It was really a disgrace. Now he could only rely on Lu Bu.

"That's not the case!"

Li Ru shook his head and said, "These fourteen groups of people seem to be very aggressive and their slogans are loud and clear, but are their hearts really as united as the document says?"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Since Li Ru helped Dong Zhuo poison Liu Bian, Dong Zhuo has trusted him more and more, and he has become Dong Zhuo's chief adviser.

Li Ru said, "Take Yuan Shao and Han Fu, for example. Han Fu is a disciple of the Yuan family, but now he controls a state. How could Yuan Shao be willing to be inferior to him? And Han Fu might be willing to contribute a lot of food and grass to help Yuan Shao gain fame? This is one reason."

"Secondly, I've heard that Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao and Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai have a long-standing feud. Now that they're on the same side, they're definitely not on the same page. Furthermore, the two sons of the Yuan family have had a bad relationship since childhood. As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Yuan Shu has always looked down on Yuan Shao, the illegitimate son, and he certainly won't be willing to accept his orders."

Dong Zhuo nodded. "Wen You is absolutely right! These people are using the pretext of a crusade, but in reality, they have their own agenda. They want to use me, the Prime Minister, to boost their own reputations, establish their own regime, and annex their neighbors. That's all!"
