In July 185 AD, the general Dong Zhuo and the general Zhou Shen, under the command of Zhang Wen, combined more than 100,000 troops and stationed in Meiyang to protect the royal garden.

Han Sui also led his army to Meiyang, and the two sides launched a war.

However, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, and Zhou Shen were in trouble in the war, and the two sides began to confront each other.

Of course, the main reason for the failure of this battle was Dong Zhuo's delay and delay in fighting.

Sun Jian, who was transferred by Zhang Wen, suggested that Zhang Wen kill Dong Zhuo directly.

Sun Jian had long seen that Dong Zhuo had no real intention to encircle and suppress the rebels.

However, Zhang Wen was afraid of Dong Zhuo's reputation in Long and Shu and did not dare to kill him.

The situation in Liangzhou is deteriorating day by day, and the number of rebels is increasing.

When Sun Jian returned to his camp, he sighed:"Han Sui and Bian Zhang are rebelling in Xiliang, there are still moth thieves in the Central Plains, and the Huns in Bingzhou are frequently plundering. When will the world be at peace?"

Huang Gai and others heard this. Speechless.

Sun Jian looked at the crescent moon in the sky and sighed:"In the past, the little thief in Wancheng is now on the grassland. He first defeated Xianbei and then defeated Dingling. Rouran surrendered and the army was in full swing. He will definitely be a trouble to the Han Dynasty sooner or later!"

Sun Jian was not Courageous but not wise, he knew that relatives, eunuchs, and scholar-bureaucrats in the court were fighting for power, resulting in unclear government orders.

However, Liu Hong always favored the eunuchs, causing the states and counties to support themselves with troops.

Dong Zhuo is the most typical example. He is obviously conserving his own strength and unwilling to do his best to suppress the rebellion.

Sun Jian even doubted whether Dong Zhuo had reached a tacit understanding with Bian Zhang and Han Sui

……

Of course, Sun Jian's worries are just unfounded worries in the eyes of most people.

Or maybe the scholar-bureaucrat class in the world doesn't care about the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty at all.

Neither the moth thieves nor the Liangzhou rebels can reach their territory even if they are making trouble.

"Cough...cough cough...cough cough cough……"

In the Luoyang Palace, Liu Hong was lying on the bed, coughing uncontrollably. The maids around him were serving him carefully.

Although the weather was getting warmer, his body became even weaker.

Drinking and sex had already drained Liu Hong's body. Even though Liu Hong was only thirty-one years old now, the imperial doctors knew that Liu Hong's body would not last more than a few years.

Liu Hong also knew in his heart that although he did not want to die, he could only follow destiny.

However, Liu Hong still worried about his son Liu Xie, who was born to Wang Meiren.

Although Liu Bian was the eldest son, born to Queen He, Liu Bian behaved frivolously and did not have the majestic temperament that a monarch should have.

Liu Xie was different. He grew up in Yongle Palace and was carefully raised by Empress Dowager Dong. He behaved dignifiedly and was deeply loved by Emperor Ling.

Moreover, the love for Wang Meiren has reached the highest level.

Just wanting to make Liu Xie emperor is too big.

Liu Hong knew in his heart that most of the eunuchs in the palace had been bribed by Queen He, and the courtiers were also moving towards He.

The only person he could trust was Guan Jian Shuo.

Although Jian Shuo was a eunuch, he was strong and had military skills. He was not the same as Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.

However, can Jian Shuo alone be He Jin's opponent?

He Jin is a general with a large number of troops, and most of the civil and military officials in the court are pedantic. They will definitely not agree to the establishment of the young Liu Xie.

"His Majesty."At this time, Jian Shuo walked in.

Liu Hong said:"Jian Shuo stays, and the others retreat."

After the maids and eunuchs all left the palace, Liu Hong said:"Jian Shuo, help me get up."

Jian Shuo came to Liu Hong's bed and helped Liu Hong up.

Liu Hong coughed slightly, and Jian Shuo handed over the silk handkerchief.

Liu Hong said:"I want to make Prince Xie the emperor, but I'm afraid there's no way to go. If others interfere, you may have a plan."

Jian Shuo was also shocked. He didn't expect that Liu Hong really wanted to make Liu Xie the emperor.

However, Liu Hong always treated Jian Shuo well, and Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were not in the same group.

Jian Shuo He said:"Zhu Jun is dead, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhixin have been defeated and are idle at home. Now Zhang and Wen are not going well in the war in Liangzhou, and the moth thieves are growing stronger in the grassland. Your Majesty can use this as an excuse to order He Jin to lead the army to first quell the rebellion in Liangzhou and then destroy it. The calamity of moth thieves, when He Jin leaves Luoyang, Your Majesty will establish a prince association."

Tune the tiger away from the mountain?

" Liu Hong thought for a while, then smiled and said,"This is a very clever plan.""

However, since the disaster of the moth thieves broke out, Liu Hong knew the importance of military horses.

At this time, both the Northern Army and the Southern Army were transferred by Zhang Wen. This is what Liu Hong hopes to see, which indirectly weakens He Jin's Power.

Liu Hong said:"I want you to control Luoyang's army and horses."

Jian Shuo immediately knelt on the ground and thanked Liu Hong for his trust.

……

In Luoyang City, intrigues and power struggles are still going on.

The war in Liangzhou is not going well, and the rebels are growing stronger every day.

Moth thieves seem to be back again in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou.

In Youzhou, in order to quell the rebellion of Bian Zhang and Han Sui as soon as possible, the imperial court conscripted 3,000 elite cavalry to Youzhou and asked Gongsun Zan to command the 3,000 cavalry.

When Gongsun Zan led his army to Jizhong, Zhang Chun from Yuyang seduced Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and others to rebel and captured Youbeiping County and the vassal state of Liaoxi County.

Youzhou is in chaos again.

Moreover, it was because of the Wuhuan people that the conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu became even greater.

In Gongsun Zan's eyes, Liu Yu was the protective umbrella of Xianbei and Wuhuan, always protecting them.

While the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty were busy suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellions, Zhou Cheng had already completed the land survey and started farming.

At the same time, the fertile pastures have also been divided, and you can see cattle and sheep everywhere.

Salt, iron, chickens, dolphins, dogs and livestock purchased from Bingzhou and Youzhou continued to flow into the grassland.

The young, the old, the weak, women and children all have jobs and are actively engaged in their work.

Breeding, animal husbandry, and agriculture are in full bloom.

In the arsenal, weapons are also mass-produced on the assembly line.

In September 185 AD, Zhao Chen and others found iron mines. Zhou Cheng mobilized nearly thousands of people to mine and stationed troops.

Zhou Cheng's war machine began to operate, and he completed land division, industrial reform, and new system promotion before the world was in chaos!
