On one hand, they were publicly issuing a declaration in response to the edict from the Three Masters of the Imperial Court, and on the other hand, they were gathering food and soldiers, preparing to engage in an ambitious battle with Dong Zhuo.

As the Eastern Region was very close to the Weixian, Han Fu was the first to receive Qiao Mao's report. Han Fu was originally a official in the censor of the imperial government, recommended by the Zhou Xu. That was why Dong Zhuo sent him to the Jizhou to serve as the Jizhou's teacher. So deep down in his heart, he was still extremely grateful to Dong Zhuo for showing such kindness.

Because of this, he had been following Dong Zhuo's orders for the past few months. Especially towards Yuan Shao who had fled to Jizhou, although Han Fu did not capture him, he was still constantly on guard. Even after the imperial government appointed Yuan Shao as the Bohai Sea, Han Fu had still sent a few of them to the BoHai to monitor Yuan Shao.

Actually, ever since Yuan Shao left the Luoyang, he had come to the Jizhou. He did not flee everywhere, as Dong Zhuo had imagined. Especially those young scholars, when they heard Yuan Shao's vivid description of his legendary battle with Dong Zhuo, their eyes were filled with worship.

Upon receiving the imperial government's order for him to become the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao immediately ended his life as a fugitive and came to BoHai County. However, he was not in the mood to become a taiwai. The first thing he did when he came to BoHai County was to recruit soldiers.

With the support of the strong warriors of the Scholars, Yuan Shao managed to recruit more than 30,000 soldiers smoothly. It could be seen how far-sighted Commander of the City Gate was when he recommended Yuan Shao to be the Bohai Sea.

Knowing that Yuan Shao was recruiting brave soldiers at Bo Hai City made Han Fu conflicted. On one side was his teacher Yuan Zhong, Han Fu could also be considered a student of the Yuan Family, and on the other side was the Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, who had helped him a lot. Helpless, he could only call upon his own advisers to discuss what he should do.

”Now, Qiao Mao has sent three orders, calling upon the officials of the State County to attack Dong Zhuo. And Yuan Shao is in the BoHai Sea recruiting strong soldiers, looks like he will be recruiting soon. ” Han Fu looked at his strategists, her face full of suspicion: ”Tell me, should I help Yuan Shao now, or should I help Dong Zhuo now?”

Han Fu had only been in the Jizhou for a few months, and adding the fact that her abilities were limited, he had not established sufficient authority. That was why when Liu Zihui heard him speak of it this way, he laughed coldly and said rudely, ”Lord Prefecture Overseer, we have risen up the army for the nation and the land. Why are we talking about Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo? Furthermore, the army of the Hussar General Yang Lin is stationed at the Jizhou's Zhongshan, Chang Shan, State of Zhao, Giant Deer and Si Li's Hanoi County. He is opposed to Dong Zhuo.

Liu Zihui's words immediately made Han Fu's face flush red from embarrassment. Other people stood on the interests of the country and the imperial government to think about other things, but he stood on his own personal grudges with Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao to think about, how different were their realms! Furthermore, the heavily armed Yang Lin was right beside him. If he dared to think about this, Yang Lin would definitely not let him go.

Seeing Han Fu's embarrassed look, Liu Zihui knew that he had gone overboard with his words and quickly advised in a kind tone, ”Master Prefecture Overseer, starting the army is a very dangerous thing, we cannot be the first to start it. Someone should be sent to see the other states, and if someone starts it first, we can then respond. The power and influence of the Jizhou is not weaker than the other provinces, so the contributions of others will not be greater than that of the Jizhou. ”

”You're right. However, even though we will not be the first to start fighting, we still need to be prepared. ” Han Fu finally thought of an idea and ordered sternly: ”She is currently working for Liu Zihui. Write a letter to Yuan Shao explaining Dong Zhuo's crimes and express your agreement with his actions. long history Geng Wu, do not drive Min Zhen, and do not rule over Li Lie, the three of you are in charge of recruiting strong soldiers, and are ready to attack Dong Zhuo. ”

No matter when, whoever gained control of public opinion would gain the hearts of the people, and whoever gained the right would gain the approval and support of the people of the world. In this era where there was no television, radio, or internet, mimeographed newspapers were the best tool to guide public opinion in the world.

Ever since the release of the Book of Appeal, it had been like a bomb dropped on the ancient Chinese mainland, and it had almost incited a great discussion among the people of the whole country. However, neither approval nor opposition was publicly echoed.

The first to break the silence were Pingyuan County taiwai Gong Lin and Tung Lai County Gong Yi. The two brothers had also released a « People's Cry » according to Yang Lin's plan. Yang Lin's mobilization was not ideal, the other Qingzhou s did not wish to sign their names on the report.

Immediately after, Jizhou's Zhongshan, Chang Shan, Zhao, the upper echelons of the four Great Deer Counties, and the Taiyuan two counties, as well as Si Li's Hanoi County s all issued reports. These commanderies were all under Yang Lin's control, while the counties that Yang Lin did not control remained silent.

The last one who responded was the nine counties of Youzhou. What Yang Lin did not expect was that in the eleven counties of Youzhou, Northeast China s Gongsun Zan and taiwai s actually refused to sign their names. Yang Lin could not help but think that these two tyrants were no longer able to endure the loneliness.

In these reports, they exaggerated Dong Zhuo's crimes flawlessly, especially the fact that Dong Zhuo had tainted the imperial concubines of the first emperor, humiliating and understating the imperial power. At the same time, they also called for the convening of a national assembly of Surveillance History s to manage the country.

All of the orders were sent to the whole country by Yang Lin, and were posted on every corner of the cities and villages by the members of the cavalry of Youzhou's intelligence agency. As the report was written in vernacular, it was easy to understand and quickly became the central issue.
