The second year of Jian'an is destined to be a year that many people remember for their whole life...

On the last day of mid-April, the only orthodox bloodline that survived in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Xie, died suddenly for no reason. Once this incident was reported, a sensation broke out from north to south. The Han Dynasty, which had been passed down for more than 400 years, collapsed, the sky changed color, the earth was dim, the sun and the moon were covered with dust, and the world was shaken.

After half a month, Yuan Shu of Huainan usurped the throne, claiming to be in line with the will of heaven, conform to the will of the people, changed the reign to establish the country, and ruled the world. In Shouchun, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Zhongjia. He claimed to be the emperor of the Zhongjia, established the capital of Shouchun, and appointed officials of the ministers and officials. The second year of Jian'an was rebuilt as the first year of Zhongjia. He then told the world that he ordered the princes to submit quickly. Otherwise, he would be regarded as a rebellion. The Zhongjia Dynasty would spread all the troops of the whole country to quell the rebellion, clear the world, and wipe out the world.

The king was killed in front and the throne was usurped in the back. The brothers Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Yuan Shu of Huainan completely subverted the Liu Dynasty that followed the East and West Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was cut off. For a moment, the people in the world were at a loss. Countless Confucian scholars and scholars and passionate young men were filled with righteous indignation. They cursed the Yuan brothers, eager to try, threatening to avenge the emperor, eradicate the traitors, kill the rebels, uphold justice for the people, and restore a bright world to the world.

The scholar was energetic, the hero was passionate and full of anger, but it was useless in the end. The forces of the princes in various places could be eliminated.

At this critical moment, there are many princes in the town who are qualified and capable of standing up. For example, Liu Biao, who are also relatives of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, who is increasingly powerful in Yanzhou, and Sun Ce, who is famous in Jiangdong. They are all qualified and capable of standing up and calling out, rectify the Han Dynasty, and uphold justice for the people. However, at this critical moment of turmoil, they kept silent. They kept their troops silent, sat still watching the changes in the wind and clouds, watched the people's resentment, watched the fire from the other side, and waited for the changes in the times.

This is an excellent opportunity for leaders and heroes, and it is also a god-given opportunity to win the hearts of the people and strengthen their strength. They know it well and are very moved. But they know even more that this opportunity is not their turn, because among them there is a more powerful, qualified and justified vassal overlord, and the opportunity for leaders and heroes is his. Who else can he do it!

He was the general of the current dynasty who occupied six prefectures and counties including Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Sili, Bingzhou, Hanzhong and Shuozhou, and the world's largest overlord - Li Li Wenchang.

As the general trend is in progress, the public opinion is sensational. Driven by this invisible force, General Li Li exercised the power of the general of the world for the first time. He issued the general's order, and ordered the princes and the aspiring people to share the same hatred for the enemy and attack the two Yuans.

In June of the second year of Jian'an, General Li Li issued a manifesto to fight against the bandits, ordering the princes in various places to attack Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Yuan Shu of Huainan.

This manifesto against the thief is similar to the "Decree of the Declaration of the Suppression" issued by Liu Xie two years ago. It spills thousands of words and points directly to the two Yuans. The words are sharp and the literary talent is brilliant. Every word is to kill the heart.

The manifesto lists ten major crimes of Yuan Shao in Jizhou, the first of which is to kill the king and plot against rebellion, and the nine clans should be punished; the last crime is to use arbitrarily to provoke the war, causing the people of Youji and the two states to suffer from water and fire. In the manifesto to fight against rebellion, Yuan Shao ranked first, and Yuan Shu followed closely behind. Yuan Shu, Yuan Highway in Huainan, was arrogant and usurped the throne and became emperor, without trust and no kindness, causing disaster to the whole country and the crime was overwhelming. If heaven did not eliminate it, people would punish him.

Once the manifesto was promulgated, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu became a pair of brothers in distress, which invisibly prompted the two brothers who were inseparable from each other and were pushed to the forefront of the Han Dynasty by the manifesto of the fight against the thief, becoming a traitor and evil person who was despised, and everyone shouted and beaten to the streets.

In less than half a month, the proclamation of the anti-thieves spread throughout the Central Plains, across the country, and spread to the princes of various towns. They also posted proclamations in various prefectures and counties, calling on the people of the world to have money, make money, work together, and unite against the enemy to attack the two Yuans.

In just one month, tens of thousands of young, strong scholars and green forest rangers flocked into Sili and gathered under Li Li's command, strongly demanding to join the Western Liang army and eliminate the Yuan brothers.

At the same time, in addition to Yuan Shao, Jizhou and Yuan Shu in Huainan, the princes of various towns responded and sent envoys to Luoyang to discuss joint troops with Li Li. In fact, it was to express their attitude on behalf of their master, hoping to send troops nearby to attack the rioters who were planning to rebel and riots who were adjacent to them, and they were unwilling to work hard to expedition, so as to save their efforts and end up not getting any benefits.

It is worth mentioning that since the death of Emperor Liu Xie, the whole world has been in a panic, and the princes of the various towns will not easily meet with other princes. Just like this time, responding to Li Li's orders, this time, no princes led their troops to the alliance, but sent their advisers to Luoyang to discuss the issue of sending troops.

The lessons of the past are still in front of you. How could the princes in each town repeat the same mistake? If they are secretly murdered by others and lose their lives inexplicably, wouldn’t it be too unfair to die?

However, this time the attack on Yuan Shao and the two Yuan Shu brothers was an excellent opportunity to strengthen their strength. They were famous and upright and upright kingly teachers, who could just grab territory with justice. The opportunity should not be missed. How could they not be missed?

At present, Yuan Shao occupies the world's largest state, with a large population and the richest Jizhou, and also occupies Qingzhou. These are two large pieces of fat meat. The adjacent Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou Lu Bu and Youzhou Gongsun Zan have already salivated themselves and are eager to pounce on them and take a bite, preferably swallowing them in one bite.

This is the case with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and the same is true for Yuan Shu in Huainan. To this day, Yuan Shu has occupied most of the counties and counties in Yuzhou. In addition to Danyang County, it also seized Guangling County in Xuzhou, which is equivalent to occupying the two states, which is no less than Yuan Shao in Jizhou. These are also two large pieces of fat meat, and the adjacent princes are Li Li of Xiliang, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong and Lu Bu of Xuzhou who are in a good manner.

The Yuan brothers originated from a lineage and inherited the elegance of their ancestors. Yuan Shu occupied Huainan and Yuan Shao occupied Hebei, one in the south and one in the north, and quickly developed into powerful vassal forces in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Before this, no one realized that the two brothers had quietly formed a glorious force of north and south; if the two forces were connected into pieces, half of the Han Dynasty's world would fall into their hands. In this way, the Yuan family was no longer empty talk, but could be completely done.

However, with the sudden death of Emperor Liu Xie in Jizhou and Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, the Yuan brothers, who had a broad prospect, were instantly pushed to the forefront and became the target of public criticism. Immediately afterwards, the proclamation against the thief issued by General Li Li spread all over the world. The Yuan brothers, who had the opportunity to integrate the two forces, were surrounded by the princes of various towns. There was no way out of heaven and no way to the ground, and they were already in desperate situations.

??

In mid-July, envoys from various princes from all over the town arrived in Luoyang one after another to meet the general Li Li.

If the envoys of the princes were a bit far-fetched and unjust before, then now they are the real envoys of the legitimate ones. Since Liu Xie passed away, there has been no master in the world, and the princes naturally became the power of the vassal kings. In a sense, the vassal states have quietly formed. Although there are differences in strength between the princes, their status is equal, which is equivalent to the situation of the warring states of hegemony.

Although Yuan Shu in Huainan was emperor now, the princes in various places did not take Yuan Shu seriously. The so-called Zhong family regime was limited to Yuan Shu's own territory, and had no effect on other princes' forces and no one paid attention to them at all. Therefore, it is still the Jian'an era, and Yuan Shu sent envoys to make wishes to the officials of the princes in various places. Except for Lu Bu in Xuzhou, the other princes ignored them at all.

So after Li Li ordered all the heroes to attack the two Yuans, Lu Bu in Xuzhou was in a very awkward situation. He wanted to send troops to respond, but was worried about being excluded by the princes, and even secretly harmed him. After thinking about it, he finally decided not to help each other, keep his troops still, and watch from the wall, as long as the princes in each town did not come to attack Xuzhou.

The Luoyang Alliance was held as scheduled. Li Li personally met the envoys of the princes in various towns and signed an alliance with them to formally form the alliance to attack the Two Yuans. The princes who joined the alliance this time were: Liu Biao, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and Li Li himself, and a total of five princes formed the alliance.

However, on the afternoon of the alliance, several late forces joined the alliance. They were envoys sent by Liu Zhang, Sun Ce of Yizhou, and Yan Rou, a rebel force in Youzhou. In addition, there were two Wuhuan tribal envoys and a Xianbei tribal envoys. These grassland barbarians also asked to join the alliance and sent troops to attack Yuan Shao of Jizhou, which made the envoys of the princes in various towns laugh and cry. They were talking about whether to accept barbarians into the alliance, and they could not reach an agreement.

In the end, Li Li acted arbitrarily and openly killed the envoys of the barbarian tribes and executed his followers together. The fierce and decisive methods shocked the envoys of the princes.

After killing hundreds of barbarian missions at the command, Li Li did not explain this, and only left a sentence: "Why should we pretend to deal with the family affairs of Han people? Such barbarians and stings are overestimating their own abilities and come to their door to seek death! Who said that the foreigner must first defend against foreign countries. As long as I, Li Li, will defend against foreign countries and squeeze the country. If necessary, they can defend against foreign countries first and then squeeze the country. How can barbarians and squeeze the country be unrestrained in the territory of the Han Dynasty? "

After slashing the mess with a quick knife, Li Li did not make things difficult for the envoy sent by Yan Rou, the rebels of Youzhou, and officially accepted him into the alliance. At this point, the eight princes formed a siege alliance. The envoys followed the intention of their lords and jointly elected General Li Li as the leader, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou as the deputy leader. Then they discussed the specific dispatch of troops, but in fact, the envoys conveyed the intentions of their respective lords, and then obeyed Li Li's dispatches and dispatches.
