Enlightenment of the Three Kingdoms

The three brothers Chen Yong formed a friendship with Jinlan. Since then, the relationship between Chen Yong, Fang Ming and Li Meng has taken a step further.But this time after letting Li Meng stop, it is more reliable for him to send the soldiers to Chang'an in batches.And early the next morning, Chen Yong took Li Meng to the store in Luoyang City to hand over the old shopkeeper.In this case, it will be much safer and more convenient for the two of them to contact each other individually in the future.

Li Meng sent Chen Yong, Fang Ming, and Chen Yiran, and the silk caravan to Chang'an, for tens of miles, before Yiyi shed tears to bid farewell.On this road, since the caravan has long had a relationship with the defenders at each pass, it has always been peaceful, and they only need to pay a part of the toll to travel unimpeded.

Chen Yong naturally hoped that this journey would be so smooth, but things backfired, and there were still some accidents today.When the silk caravan came outside Hangu Pass, this Hangu Pass was Han Hangu Pass, also known as "Han Pass", which was built in the third year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.It is one of the Xiongguan fortresses built earlier in Chinese history and has important military functions, and it is also the first pass of the Silk Road!

The "han" in its name refers to the box, and the "gu" refers to the valley. The meaning of "hangu" is to use the valley as a box to contain its key points.Hanhangu Pass is [-] kilometers away from the Yellow River in the north, Fenghuang Mountain in the north, Qinglong Mountain in the south, and the two mountains face each other.After the completion of this pass city, there are thick walls on the north and south sides extending between the mountains, forming a natural barrier. Only through this city gate can one enter and exit the pass and embark on the Silk Road.

Before Chen Yong and others came to Hangu Pass, the guards were the national traitor Dong Zhuozhi's soldiers, and they relied on food and cards to increase the daily income of their soldiers.Dong Zhuo had been stationed at Hangu Pass for more than two months before withdrawing from Hangu Pass.In other words, when Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was in Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, he was not accompanied by Dong Zhuo, only Xiliang cavalry.

However, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie had no soldiers and no power, so he was accompanied by civil and military officials from all over the court, but no one dared to risk their lives against Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry to save Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie from the fire and water.When Dong Zhuo believed that the interior of the Central Plains was in chaos and the princes of all walks of life had begun to go their own way and fight each other.He finally felt completely relieved, so he withdrew his troops from Hanhangu Pass and returned to Chang'an, ready to enjoy the blessings.

When Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he deliberately ordered Yushi Zhongcheng Huangfusong to bow down and greet him in order to humiliate him.No matter how proud Huangfusong is, he also knows the reason why people have to bow their heads under the eaves.There was no other way, in order to be able to accompany the little emperor Liu Xie, he tried to be more respectful as a courtier, so he had to bow down to Dong Zhuo in front of so many soldiers and officials, and then he returned with satisfaction!

Dong Zhuo rode on a green-covered Jinhua chariot with two claws painted on it, and people at that time called it "Gan motorcycle chariot".He also named his younger brother Dong Min as General Zuo, and his nephew Dong Huang as a servant and lieutenant of the Chinese Army.At that time, the foundation of the great man had already been manipulated by Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo saw that even Huang Pusong lowered his noble head and bowed to himself, so he asked the ministers and ministers to get out of the car and bow to him when they visited him one by one.In the beginning, Dong Zhuo returned salutes to veteran officials and celebrities like Cai Yong, but in the end, Dong Zhuo didn't bother to return the salutes anymore, he was used to the feeling that all the scholars were under him.

And in the end, the chiefs of various important departments in the imperial court, including those who were appointed as Shangshuling Wang Yun, all needed to go to Dong Zhuo's Grand Master's Mansion to report to him, and they had to kneel down and salute every time.At this time, Dong Zhuo almost regarded himself as the "Emperor Li"!

In order to please him, Dong Zhuo's aides proposed that Dong Zhuo was comparable to Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya, and could be called "Shangfu" in the court.Dong Zhuo asked Cai Yong for advice, and Cai Yong persuaded Dong Zhuo to wait until the rebellion was quelled and he returned to Luoyang before discussing the matter.

250 miles away from Chang'an City, Mei County's feudal land did not build Meiwu, Dong Zhuo's servants built it with 25 people. A rainy day.

Dong Zhuo selected 800 young and beauties among the people to enrich them. Gold jade, colored silk, pearls, and agates piled up countless treasures, collecting the rare treasures of the world for his squandering.Dong Zhuo himself said: "After I pacified the Guandong, I have already dominated the world! Even if I win the end, I fail, and I am besieged by all the heroes in the world, I can still stay in Meiwu and live to the end of my life!"

Dong Zhuo's family members all lived in Meiwu.It travels between Chang'an, or once in half a month, or once in a month, and the ministers are all waiting to be sent outside Hengmen.Dong Zhuo always set up large tents on both sides of the road, and gathered with all the officials and officials to drink, which is not so pleasant.

One day, Dong Zhuo came out from Weiyang Palace to bid farewell to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and went out to Hengmen.All the civil and military officials went out of the palace to see them off, so Dong Zhuo held a banquet and kept him drinking in the big tents on both sides of the road.A good news came, saying that the soldiers were recruited from the north, and a team of hundreds of people had been sent.

Dong Zhuo immediately ordered people to sit in front of his seat, and pulled these hundreds of soldiers recruited from the north to the front of all civil and military officials.Dong Zhuo ordered his subordinates to cut off his limbs, goug his eyes, cut off his tongue, or boil him alive in a big pot in front of the civil and military officials of the whole court!

The wailing of these hundreds of people shook the sky, all civil and military officials trembled and lost their chopsticks, all panicked.Even Cai Yong lost his former majesty.Dong Zhuo looked at these soldiers who were mourning and dying, talking and laughing freely!Dong Zhuo said half-jokingly: "Cai Zhonglang, if I am like this, does it count as suppressing the rebellion? If not, I will let you send thousands of rebels to surrender in the future, and do it again in front of everyone?"

Cai Yong knew Dong Zhuo's intentions, and it was because of his refusal to accept the title of "Father Shang" that he succeeded in suppressing the rebellion.But to see Dong Zhuo's intentions, if he refuses to agree to the name of "Shangfu", he will take the trouble to make military exploits in countering the rebellion again and again.And this time, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, killing these hundreds of people is just an appetizer...

Cai Yong said: "Dong Gong's talent is enough to be called 'shangfu'. There is no need for such military exploits to show his ability! I have seen it, and all civil and military officials have seen it! Please don't let Dong Gong do it. Do something that shocks the world again!"

Dong Zhuo laughed out loud and walked away!From then on, Dong Zhuo called himself "Shangfu", and no one dared to say a word to refute his displeasure.Dong Zhuo regards civil and military officials as nothing, and as long as he hears that someone has a turbulent and disobedient heart, he will order someone to arrest him and set up a lynching, so that he can catch all his followers!

Another day, Dong Zhuo ordered him to sit in two rows at the Provincial and Taiwan General Assembly.After a few rounds of drinking, the dishes were over tasted, Lu Bu went inside and whispered a few words into Dong Zhuo's ear, as if he had something secret to tell.Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "So that's the case, so what are you waiting for if you arrest this person in public?"

Look at Wen Hou Lu Bu, who was already at the banquet, grabbed Sikong and Zhang Wen, and lifted him to the hall.All civil and military officials were shocked, no one could have imagined that Dong Zhuo would take down Sikong and Zhang Wen at this time!Everyone knows that Dong Zhuo and Zhang Wen have long-cherished wishes.Everyone thought that Dong Zhuo ordered him to be the boss, which meant that he would set an example for the civil and military officials and reassure everyone. They didn't expect that what was supposed to come would eventually come...

Not long after, the attendant presented a red plate to Zhang Wentou.That Sikong Zhang Wen was obviously tortured and killed, his beard and hair stood upright, and he glared at him, no matter how unwilling, what can he do?At this time, the decapitated body was already in a different place, and the head was offered in front of Dong Zhuo!

The civil and military officials were scared out of their wits, and no one knew who the next victim would be.Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Don't be alarmed, gentlemen. Zhang Wen has joined forces with Yuan Shu and intends to harm me. Because he sent someone to send a book, my son will be the one who made the mistake. Therefore, he will be beheaded in public now. There is no reason for the public to wait. Don't be alarmed." Fear! I only kill those who oppose me! Come, come, everyone, drink this cup with me again!"

None of the civil and military officials dared to do anything wrong, they all raised their wine glasses and clinked glasses with Dong Zhuoyao.Dong Zhuo drank it down in one gulp, and all civil and military officials also drank the wine from the cup.Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "Your gentlemen come to me today, of course they are not drunk and will not return! Don't worry, I will order someone to escort you back one by one. Come, come, continue to drink with me. cup……"

During Dong Zhuo's reign in Chang'an, he destroyed the five baht coins that were exchanged and circulated in the market, and added various copper products such as bronze figures in Luoyang and Chang'an to cast small coins.This kind of small money is very rough, even without outline and characters, and the common people are unwilling to use it, which eventually leads to market chaos and skyrocketing prices.

Dong Zhuo asked Liu Xiao, the captain of the Sili school, to arrest those who were "unfilial for their sons, disloyal for their ministers, unclear for their officials, and disobedient for their younger brothers". False wrong case!Everyone knows that where there is injustice, there will naturally be resistance!

It is precisely because of this that Liu Xie, Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, ordered Liu He, the son of the great Sima Liu Yu, to accept his edict, take his own jade pendant, and escape from Chang'an City starry night.Liu He was caught among the merchants who went to and from Chang'an, and when he returned to Meiwu with the help of Dong Zhuo, he escaped from Chang'an City on the same day.

When Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an City and all civil and military officials gathered again, he learned that Liu He had not ascended to the court, so he would naturally send someone to the Shizhong Mansion to look for him.Only then did I realize that Liu He had been away for more than half a month!Dong Zhuo was furious, and ordered everyone to serve the Zhongfu.But in Chang'an City, Liu He was not married and had no heirs. How could he start the crime of confiscating the family and destroying the nine clans?

Dong Zhuo only changed his face after being furious in the court.He said kindly: "I ordered Liu He to return to the Central Plains, and invited his father, the great Sima Liu Yu, to come to Chang'an to serve. It seems that I am old and confused, and I can't even remember this. Come here Now, Liu He's mansion is the same as before, and the servants under him are still the same! All the expenses in the mansion come out of my mansion, to show my loyalty!"

It was precisely because of Liu He's escape back to Chang'an that Dong Zhuo was furious. It was inconvenient to mobilize troops in Chang'an City, but above the border, he began to strictly manage the traders!The Hangu gatekeeper had seen the customs clearance documents handed over by the silk caravan, including the rewards of rishi, but he was unmoved.The guard read out Dong "Father Shang"'s latest management measures. He looked at the silk merchants' carriages and refused to pass with a smile.

Chen Yong said in his heart: "No, I didn't expect that the method I planned to sneak into Chang'an would be unfavorable! The reason is actually the aftermath of the eldest son Liu He's escape from Chang'an. I am really unlucky. No, then I want to lead two thousand personal guards and sneak into Chang'an in the future, it can only be a dream."

When Chen Yong was in a difficult situation, he looked at the silk merchant again and went to Hangu Pass again.It's just that this time he took a few people and drove there in a carriage.Chen Yong didn't know what he meant, he just looked into the distance from afar.But seeing that the merchant was talking about something with the general guard of Hangu Pass, he finally ordered people to lift things from the carriage several times, and the general finally no longer looked as sinking as water.

When the merchant came back, he called everyone to follow him quickly, and hurried together, passed through the Hangu Pass, and came to the territory controlled by Dong Zhuojun...
