respect the king
Wei Xuan did not expect that Sun Qian's envoy would go so smoothly, and what was even more unexpected was that Xun You would also come back. Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others suggested that Wei Xuan make the matter of sending an envoy to meet the emperor of Chang'an known to the world. .
There are two purposes for doing this. The first is to show Wei Xuan's loyalty to and fight against the foreigners. The second is to deter those careerists who try to obscure the Han Dynasty and lie to the people that the emperor may be harmed by Dong Zhuo.
In fact, there are different voices within the Wei Xuan Group about whether to or not. Some people represented by Xun Yu believe that the most important thing under the Wei Xuan Group is to lead troops out of Chang'an as soon as possible to welcome the emperor's return eastward and revive the army. Chaogang. In the future, the emperor can be used to force Wei Xuan to take the initiative in righteousness.
There are also realists, including Jia Xu and Zhang Zhao, who believe that chaos is inevitable and strong men are needed to bring order. Wei Xuan can actually learn from Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu and not be too influenced and limited by the court, at least not to actively trap himself. The biggest advantage of not being restricted by the imperial court is that you can appoint officials to your subordinates at will. For example, if Yuan Shao declares himself a general of chariots and cavalry, then he can appoint all the generals he can count. As a general, this is of great benefit to the soldiers under Ji Li in the era of chaos.
Wei Xuan knew that history had told him the answer to this. Although it was Cao Cao who held the emperor hostage in another dimension to control the princes, it seemed that Emperor Xian of Han was just a useless puppet.
But history tells us that on how to correctly treat the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the three people who made the right choice later became the founders or founders of the Three Kingdoms, while the other princes who did not pay attention to the Han Dynasty or deliberately stayed away from the Han Dynasty No good ending.
This is definitely not an accident of history. This is a matter of people's attachment and the place of righteousness. The Han Dynasty has left a mark on the hearts of the common people and scholars for four hundred years.
The once arrogant Yuan Shao never dreamed that he would lose to Cao Cao, or to be precise, Cao Cao had always been just a younger brother of Yuan Shao before welcoming Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao challenged the entire Han Dynasty. The change is due to the arrival of one person.
In another time and space, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie spent half a year from Chang'an to Anyi, Hedong, and another half a year from Anyi to Xuchang. Yuan Shao had the opportunity to welcome the emperor, and some people tried to persuade him, but he did not like the emperor because the emperor was not his favourite. People and the Emperor who returned to the East were inseparable. But it was precisely because of the Emperor's appeal that Yuan Shao launched the Battle of Guandu. In fact, Yuan Shao also knew very well that within his group, including himself, although he claimed to be attacking Cao Cao, in fact, he was It is treason to attack the emperor with his subjects! Although Yuan Shao did not want to see Cao Cao's territory getting bigger and bigger, he could never get over this psychological barrier. The Yuan Shao Group also fell apart because of the existence of the emperor.
The fate of Yuan Shu, who arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, was even more tragic, like a rat crossing the street that everyone yelled and beat.
Before the Battle of Guandu broke out, Liu Biao was actually the target of all parties' efforts to win over him. As a result, he also made a wrong choice, that is, he neither supported the court represented by Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao. In fact, as a member of the Han Dynasty clan, Dear, Jingzhou Mu, his statement is tantamount to supporting Yuan Shao. Who is Yuan Shao? He is clearly a traitor and traitor. Therefore, the Jingzhou Group also began to split. Cai Mao and other core members expressed their loyalty to the court one after another. After Cao Cao digested Guandu This was also the reason why he immediately went south to attack Liu Biao after the victory of the battle.
In fact, Sun Ce, Sun Jian's son, was more mature politically than his father. They said he was the Tiger of Jiangdong. His political wisdom was actually quite good. At least he made the right attitude towards Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shu wanted to proclaim himself emperor and hoped that his subordinates would support him, but Sun Ce would rather break with Yuan Shu than agree. Then because Liu Biao supported Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, it became the reason for Sun Ce's crusade, and he bargained with the court to get
There were many benefits, including later sending Zhang Hong to Xuchang as an official.
There is also Liu Bei, who speaks like an imperial uncle. He opens his mouth and shuts up to help the Han Dynasty. Ren Aji is nomadic and very effective. Although his ultimate achievements are limited, he is better than Liu Biao who sits on the fence and Liu Yan and his son who block the road and want to be king.
Be more popular and replace it!
This is the power of respecting the king. The three founders of the Three Kingdoms actually made the same choice, and all achieved certain successes. However, those who despised the emperor and despised the court
For example, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Liu Biao have all become a passing thing.
Therefore, Wei Xuan did not need to hesitate on the issue of respecting the king. He cut off the connection between Guandong and Chang'an, but he did need to show his attitude of respecting the king and stand out among the heroes.
But Wei Xuan could not tell Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and others that this was the choice of history and the choice of the people. He could only quote Zhou Chao's allusions and come up with a so-called "respecting the king and resisting the barbarians". Xun Yu was happy about this,
Jia Xu could only smile bitterly. As long as Wei Xuan tightly controlled Sanhe and Yingchuan, the Chang'an court would be dead sooner or later, and Dong Zhuo would be defeated sooner or later. The price for Wei Xuan's enthronement as king did not seem to be high, or in other words, he just had to wait and see.
Of course, respecting the king is the first step. Fighting the barbarians can be done first and has been done once. Because there is a serious resistance to the Five Hus and the Chinese, so Liu Yu's kind of weakness and Yuan Shao's kind of defense can be used by all the enemies of the enemy.
Xuan was disdainful. This was probably the purpose of Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan after unifying Hebei.
If the Han Dynasty under Dong Zhuo's chaos was in turmoil, then the Southern Huns after Wei Xuan annihilated Yu Fuluo's tribe were now in disarray. The man who had killed Yu Fuluo's father and became the Shanyu was also dead. Yu Fuluo's younger brother Hu
Chuquan and his son Liu*bao also died. If we had to find someone with a closer blood relationship, it would be Qubei who is currently stranded in Xihe. Qubei followed Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan and accepted the edict of the Han Dynasty to pacify them.
Zhang Chun has been quietly gathering strength since the beginning of his rebellion. If Wei Xuan lets Huchuquan go, maybe he can really integrate the southern Xiongnu again after returning to Xihe.
Although he did not see it with his own eyes, Yu Fuluo had already heard about the incident in Hedong. He then sent people to Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other counties to search for the Southern Xiongnu tribe members. It turned out that basically no Huns could be found here.
!
Going to Bei and Huchuquan, Yu Fuluo and others also have a dream of restoring the country, and the Han Dynasty is the only force that the Southern Huns can rely on at present. But in Wei Xuan's dictionary, Bingzhou belongs to the Han Dynasty and the Han people, and the Huns must
Get away. He wants to take advantage of the time when Yuan Shao is stabilizing Jizhou to fight Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao is attacking the Yellow Turbans, and Yuan Shu is planning to proclaim himself emperor to expel the Southern Xiongnu from Bingzhou as soon as possible.
In Wei Xuan's plan, not only the Southern Huns should get out, but also the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang, etc., and at least for the time being, they should be withdrawn from the stage of history to avoid the tragedy of Wu Huan's chaos in China.
In fact, history has also proved that the attitude towards the Hu people determines the success or failure of the war between heroes to some extent. Liu Yu was close to Wuhuan, Gongsun Zan was tough on Wuhuan, and Gongsun defeated. Yuan Shao married his daughter to the Wuhuan people, Cao Cao went on an expedition to Wuhuan, and Cao Cao Victory. Liu Bei win over Wuling barbarians and Shanyue people in the hope that they will help him. Sun Wu has always advocated crusade against Shanyue and barbarians. Wu Guo wins. Wei Xuan's future enemies may be Khan, Ma Teng, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, Wei Xuan does not want to lose, I don’t want to mess with China, so my attitude must be tough.
However, the seemingly simple-minded barbarians are actually very smart. When the Han Dynasty was strong, they attached themselves to it. When the Han Dynasty weakened, they went south to plunder. For example, the Southern Xiongnu, although after being divided into two, the Southern Xiongnu was very weak, but However, they gradually occupied Bingzhou, and Yuvluo even wanted to go south to plunder Hedong and Henan.
However, the Han court always believed that these ethnic minorities were still subordinate to the Han, so attacking the territories occupied by these people required a high-sounding excuse.
Now the opportunity finally came. Sun Qian came back from his audience with the emperor and brought with him an edict from the imperial court. He named Wei the Marquis of Jinyang. Jinyang was the seat of Taiyuan, and there were already many barbarians in Taiyuan County.
Wei Xuan decided to take his troops to Taiyuan as soon as possible to find fault with the Huns and see if he could get a high-sounding excuse for war. In fact, there was no need to look for it. According to Yuan Shao's character, although he and Wei announced reconciliation, but will definitely continue to make a fuss over the issue of the Southern Huns.
In addition, the invasion of Bingzhou's economy by the Wei caravans has put pressure on the local Southern Huns.
Faced with the turmoil in the Han Dynasty and the defeat of Yufuluo and Huchuquan, the former Chanyu sons of the Southern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu stationed in the northern part of Bingzhou also gradually split. One group, led by Qiang Qu, advocated continuing to obey the Han. They occupied Shuofang. The Wuyuan area. The other group was headed by King Xiutu. They advocated killing the local Han officials and completely occupying the entire Bingzhou. They occupied the Yunzhong and Dingxiang areas. Compared with the two of them, the tribes that went to humble areas were due to long-term Living together with the Han people, his living habits gradually changed, and he almost regarded himself as a Han. However, he was also more familiar with the brush of the Han Dynasty, and his ambitions were greater. Qiangqu and King Xiutu were only discussing whether to rebel against the Han and occupy Bingzhou Tangled, Qubei directly regarded Bingzhou as his base for restoration. Because his own strength was too weak, Qubei chose to send envoys to negotiate with Qiangqu and King Xiutu, hoping that the two of them could put aside their internal affairs. In the disputes, first defeat Wei Xuan north of the Yellow River, and then use the entire Bingzhou and Sanhe as the first territory for Hungary's restoration.
