Chapter 61 This time, the eunuch went too far
Yuan Shao's forces and Chen Dan's forces have reached a consensus on this matter, and the two sides have formed a political alliance, and are about to communicate with each other, preparing to launch a political offensive against the eunuchs.

This is an active attack by the few scholars since the outbreak of the party's turmoil. Both Yuan Shao and Chen Dan attach great importance to it, and do everything they can to get more helpers.

Yuan Shao even agreed to He Yong's suggestion, abandoning his previous suspicions and preparing to join Yuan Shu, hoping that Yuan Shu could also mobilize his own political power to help them fight against the eunuchs.

As a result, Yuan Shu actually closed the door and did not see Xu You, the envoy he sent.

Yuan Shu's operation made Xu You look stupid.

Scholars are about to unite against the eunuchs and launch a political offensive rarely seen since the disaster of the party. At this critical moment, you, Yuan Shu, are actually staying behind closed doors?

Xu You was furious, and when he came back, he criticized Yuan Shu severely, angrily criticizing Yuan Shu for being ignorant of the overall situation, and he was just a dog guarding the household.

The people around Yuan Shao were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's ignorant behavior, and felt a little contempt for him.

Yuan Shao was silent for a while with a dark face.

He didn't invite Yuan Shu with hypocrisy, he really planned to join forces with Yuan Shu to fight against the eunuch, and by the way, put on a scene of brotherhood and respect, so as to restore Yuan's deteriorating scholarly reputation.

And needless to say, some of the Yuan family's protégé group around Yuan Shu is also a relatively powerful political elite force, and is more closely bound to the Yuan family.

If they can join in, the power against the eunuchs must be even stronger. Once they win, they will be able to bring Yuan's back against the wind and gain greater prestige.

In the end, Yuan Shu actually refused.

Do you just cherish the status of your son-in-law so much?
In other words, is the entire Yuan family so disapproving of this political offensive?
Yuan Shao thought for a while, then sneered.

"Without him, Yuan Gonggong, wouldn't we be able to duel with the eunuch? Gentlemen, do we have to have him, Yuan Gonggong, for us to win?"

To be honest, Yuan Shao is very good at public relations and publicity, and a few words can mobilize the atmosphere.

In the past few days, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and everything that should be done has been done. The arrow is on the string, and it has to be launched to break the political deadlock. This is the battle.

Yuan Shao stood up and called on everyone to start a decisive battle with the eunuch. This is a battle that belongs to scholars without retreat!

Yes, what belongs to scholars belongs only to scholars.

Liu Bei stood up silently, acting exactly like the others, with the same anger and high ambition.

As the real chief director and front-line commander of this political action, Liu Bei assumed a very important responsibility.

He was in charge of commanding the petition teams from [-] counties that everyone put together, and went to Sili Xiaowei's mansion to initiate a political petition written by Yi Que, forcing Sili Xiaowei's mansion to respond.

Sili Xiaowei was a very important and special position in the Han Dynasty. His official rank was Bierqianshi, which was lower than that of Jiuqing, who was in the middle of Erqianshi, and of course lower than Liehou and Sangong.

Even so, Sili Xiaowei also has the "elegant name" of "Crouching Tiger". During public discussions and court congratulations, he is still "disrespectful" to the three princes to show the dignity of Sili Xiaowei, and even has a similar relationship with Shang Shuling and Yushi Zhongcheng. It is also said that the three sitting alone are very powerful.

The basic duty of Captain Sili is to supervise the officials of the capital and the surrounding areas of the capital. He often writes directly to impeach officials, and he is not afraid of Sangong.

Therefore, on the contrary, high-ranking officials and dignitaries are in turn afraid of Captain Sili. What's more terrible is that Captain Sili has an armed force composed of [-] officials and apprentices in the capital. He is one of the very few armed forces in the capital with command official position.

Speaking of taboos, every time there is a coup or mutiny, the political inclination of Captain Sili is enough to affect the direction of the situation.

Therefore, even the unscrupulous eunuchs have many scruples when dealing with Captain Sili, and cannot violate the dignity of Captain Sili.

Today's Sili Xiaowei is Guo Hong, who was born in the Guo family of Yingchuan, and his father is the former Taiwei Guo Xi.

The Guo family in Yingchuan is well-dressed and has been passed down for more than a hundred years. The family inherited the law classics Xiao Dulu, a non-Confucian gentry, who have been engaged in law-related work in the court for generations, and had a place in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei and others did not think that this kind of political action would force Captain Sili to help them deal with the eunuchs, but as long as the Colonel Sili's mansion responded and accepted their petition, they would have to listen to Datian.

The parades in the eighteen counties were used as bargaining chips to force the Sili Xiaowei's Mansion to respond.

Using a grand offensive of public opinion to force Sili Xiaowei's mansion to respond, forcing Guo Hong to deliver the letter for them, at the same time, Cao Cao, who will serve as Yilang, will escort Situ Chen Dan, and go to the palace together to write a letter to the emperor. Go hand in hand and express the anger of the scholars to Emperor Liu Hong.

Perhaps it is because the unrealistic expectations brought to the eunuchs by the successive defeats and retreats of the scholars since the disaster of the party are too inflated.

But Your Majesty, this time, the eunuch went too far.

On March 28, the fifth year of Guanghe, the plan was officially implemented.

In the morning of that day, Liu Bei issued an order for action at his home, and the eighteen messengers who had gathered at Liu Bei's mansion in advance went to the locations of the eighteen parades.

Eighteen parade teams gathered in several unidentified courtyards in Luoyang City began to move under Liu Bei's unified order.

They held up wooden boards and wrote in big black characters their respective places of origin, affiliations, reasons for coming to Beijing, etc., and shouted [the prefect of a certain county is diligent and loves the people] or [the prefect of a certain county is honest and upright] .

They need to shout loudly and cry loudly at the same time, so as to attract the attention of everyone in Luoyang streets and alleys, and set the atmosphere in place.

Each team has guides who are familiar with the roads of Luoyang City, and they will guide the procession through different routes to the same goal - Sili Xiaowei's Mansion.

In this operation, Chen Dan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao are the main forces fighting against the eunuchs. If you are lucky, Captain Sili will also help.

Naturally, Yuan Shao didn't need to say much, he couldn't come forward directly.

Naturally, He Yong needless to say, once he shows up, the eunuch will be ecstatic, and it won't be long before he will have a box.

Naturally, Zhang Miao didn't need much. The prefect of a county left his post without authorization and entered the capital. What are you doing?Rebel?
Which of these three people officially showed up, the eunuch would be ecstatic, and then quickly dispatched to arrest them and kill them as quickly as possible, creating an established fact.

As for Xu Youzhi and others, they were willing to contribute, but their organization and planning abilities were far inferior to Liu Bei's, and they could not command from the center.

As soon as this team walked up, it was really powerful and powerful in the huge Luoyang city.

The long team held up big wooden boards with big characters written on them, and marched in a certain direction while shouting slogans, crying while shouting, and their voices became louder.

It was the first time for the well-informed Luoyang Li Shu under the emperor's feet to see such a movement. They were very curious about such a situation, and they all gathered together to watch the excitement.

They couldn't read and couldn't understand what was written on the wooden board, but their ears were not deaf, and they could figure out what was going on when they heard what they were shouting.

But there is no need for them to try hard to guess. I don’t know what’s going on today. There are so many people who can read, and they are still standing next to them. Before they have time to guess, there are people who can read around. They read the writing on the board.

This is even better, you don't have to guess wildly, and you will know what these people are here for, what they want to do, and so on.

This understanding doesn't matter, good guy, the relationship is here to avenge the capital, not because of idiot men complaining about women, but for the sheriff of their hometown.

PS: I started to have a fever yesterday afternoon, my body was sore, and I still had a cough. It should be a sheep. Fortunately, there are still some manuscripts that can be used. I hope my strain is a little milder, so don’t make me suffer too much. . . .
