- Yes, Yuan Shao did become king.
Since the victory at Guandu, Yuan Shao's army has almost swept across the Central Plains, except for encountering a wall at Yan Liang, becoming invincible.
Most of the three states of Si, Yan and Yu in the Central Plains were occupied by Yuan Shao. Even Xuzhou captured by Liu Bei was nominally owned by Yuan Shao.
Sitting on the land of eight states, Yuan Shao is truly the strongest in the world. Even if all the remaining princes combined, they are not as powerful as Yuan Shao.
More than a month ago, Yuan Shao, who fell ill, left his eldest son to guard Xudu and returned to Yecheng.
After a month of deliberation and momentum building, Yuan Shao officially proclaimed himself King of Wei, made Yecheng his capital, appointed hundreds of officials, and granted great rewards.
Of course, before Yuan Shao became the king, he also made a statement to the Han Emperor in Chang'an, saying that the reason why he became the king was to better lead the cause of anti-Cao Cao, and to respond to the support of the ministers, he could not succeed in becoming the king. .
When the news came to Xinye, it naturally caused quite a shock.
Since Wang Mang, this is the first time in the Eastern Han Dynasty that a person with a different surname calls himself king. What this means is clear.
"My lord is very accurate about Yuan Shao's thoughts. Not even a few months after my lord's announcement, Yuan Shao really became king."
Under the lobby, Xu You sighed.
Since Yan Liang was granted the title of General Right, he had a legitimate official position, and his subordinates also called him their lord.
Yan Liang smiled disdainfully, "Yuan Shao's ambition was already obvious when he wanted to establish a new emperor when he challenged Dong. There is no need to guess."
At that time, Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor Liu Bian and made Liu Xie the emperor. Although the princes of Guandong rebelled against Dong. But he had to admit the new emperor established by Dong Zhuo.
Only Yuan Shao wanted to establish a new emperor and fight against Dong Zhuo, but Cao Cao and others opposed it, so he failed.
Yuan Shao's ambition has been revealed since then, and Yan Liang is familiar with the Three Kingdoms. How could you not know?
"When Yuan Shao becomes king, the next step is probably to establish himself as emperor. Now he is sitting on the land of eight states. If another new dynasty is established, the remaining prestige of the Han court will be gone, and people in the world will flock to the new dynasty. At that time, it would not be a good thing for us. "
Yiji is a little worried.
"That's not necessarily true. In my opinion, Yuan Shao becoming king is actually a good thing for my lord."
Jia Xu, who has been silent for a long time, either doesn¡¯t speak, or when he speaks, he makes shocking remarks.
Yan Liang was also a little surprised by Jia Xu's words, but as soon as his thoughts changed, he quickly understood the implication of Jia Xu's words, and a smile could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth, but he did not express it clearly.
Yi Ji, however, looked puzzled: "How can Wen He say this?"
Jia Xu stroked his white beard. He said unhurriedly: "Everyone in the world knows about Yuan Shao's dream of being emperor, but with Yuan Shao's knowledge, even if he wants to proclaim himself emperor, he should do it step by step. First he should be proclaimed Duke, then King, and then Emperor. But Now he is so impatient that he won the Central Plains and became the king in one fell swoop. Doesn't Uncle Ji think there must be some mystery behind this?"
"Mystery" Yi Ji looked blank, still confused.
At this time, Xu You's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Could it be that Wen He was trying to say that Yuan Shao was trapped by a serious illness and knew that he didn't have much time left, so he was anxious to proclaim himself king and emperor in order to complete the task before his death?" His dream of being an emperor?"
Jia Xu smiled and said nothing, presumably acquiescing to what Xu You said.
It was only then that Yi Ji and others present suddenly realized that their worried expressions suddenly became cheered up.
Yan Liang's expression was calm and he didn't show any surprise. In fact, he had already guessed the reason when Jia Xu opened his mouth.
Historically, it took Cao Cao how many years to transform from Duke of Wei to King of Wei, paving the way for his son Cao Pi to succeed the Han Dynasty.
Even if Liu Bei transcended the public rank and was directly called the King of Hanzhong, he only became king after he captured the two rivers and won the hearts of the people.
As for Sun Quan, not to mention, it was many years after both Cao and Liu were dead before he dared to proclaim himself emperor.
And now Yuan Shao has only conquered the Central Plains states for half a year and hastily proclaimed himself king. Even if he is arrogant and arrogant, he will not be so disorganized.
All kinds of things, the only explanation is that Yuan Shao knew that his time was approaching, and he wanted to indulge in the addiction of becoming an emperor before he died.
"Yuan Shao is too busy dreaming about being an emperor that he has no intention of paying attention to us. This is a God-given opportunity. It is the time for the general to use his troops."
Yan Liang, who had been sitting in the audience talking among the counselors, finally made a sonorous and powerful sound, and there was a vague murderous intention in his bold words.
Everyone¡¯s expressions froze slightly, and their eyes all turned to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang looked around at everyone and said loudly: "I have decided to capture Jingxiang while Yuan Shao has no time to look south. After Yuan Shao is dead and the Yuan family is divided, he will send his troops north to seize the Central Plains."
Xunxun's killing intent surged through Yan Liang, and the silent blood began to boil in everyone's hearts again.
From early spring to autumn, after nearly six months of recuperation, the soldiers have been recuperating for a long time, the horses are fat and strong, and the harvest of grain in the fields is about to be good. There are no worries about Cao Cao and Yuan Shao outside, and the hearts of the people inside are united.
The opportunity given by God is the right time to use troops.
In the lobby, the crowd immediately became excited.
Amid the excitement, there was still one person who remained calm, and that person was still Jia Xu.
"It is indeed the best time to capture Jingxiang at this time, but Liu Biao has 40,000 troops stationed in Xiangyang and more than 500 naval warships, so his strength cannot be underestimated. However, our navy has not been established for a long time, and the warships are no more than There are more than two hundred ships. If we cannot obtain the control of the Han River, it will be difficult to conquer Xiangyang. "
With Jia Xu¡¯s reminder, everyone immediately calmed down and their high emotions subsided slightly.
Yan Liang said calmly: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing, it doesn't matter if there are difficulties, just overcome them. Do you think Liu Biao will give Xiangyang to us for free?"
Yan Liang¡¯s bold words and strong self-confidence on his face infected everyone around him, and everyone¡¯s confidence was re-established.
At this time, Yan Liang changed the topic again, "However, Wen He's concerns are not unreasonable. This time to capture Xiangyang, we must combine cunning tactics with serious soldiers to overcome the victory. Since Wen He has anticipated the difficulties, he must have There should be countermeasures.¡±
Yan Liang kicked the ball to Jia Xu again.
"Well, I don't have any tricks, but I do have a strategy. In fact, this strategy was also used by the Lord before." Jia Xu said with a smile.
Have you ever used it?
Yan Liang was in a daze for a moment, then realized it immediately, "Sir, it must be the Sun family in Jiangdong. Well, this external force cannot be ignored. If we can persuade the Sun family to raise troops to attack Jiangxia, it will naturally be beneficial to us to force Liu Biao to mobilize some of the Xiangyang garrison to go south. ¡±
Yan Liang said, his eyes turned to Yi Ji.
This is the number one diplomatic talent under Yan Liang. Immediately he understood what he meant, and stood up immediately and said, "I would like to send an envoy to Jiang Sun to persuade my lord, Sun Quan, to send troops."
Yan Liang was very satisfied with Yi Ji's initiative to ask for a job.
Immediately, he wrote a letter stating his interests and made an agreement with Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou from the north and the south. After destroying Liu Biao, Jingzhou would be divided equally.
Jia Xu proposed a plan to connect Jiangdong, and Yi Ji asked Ying to go to Jiangdong as an envoy. The two counselors showed their prowess in front of Yan Liang.
At this time. Xu You next to you couldn't sit still, his eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly there was a hint of mystery in the corner of his mouth.
"My lord, I think that just helping Jiangdong is not enough. We'd better take a coordinated approach to let Liu Biao be indifferent to us and deal with the Sun family boldly."
Looking at the evil smile on Xu You's face, Yan Liang knew that he had another bad idea.
"I wonder if you have any clever ideas, sir?"
Xu You moved his seat closer and explained his plan.
After Yan Liang heard this, he nodded slightly. A sly smile flashed across Yingwu's face, "This strategy seems a bit unorthodox, but I like this unorthodox strategy."
The two masters and ministers looked at each other, with sneers flashing on their faces.
? ######
Xiangyang, Prefecture Mufu.
In the deep courtyard, the mist and rain are falling.
Cai Yu stood on the railing, looking at the yellow leaves all over the courtyard in trance.
Looking back, Cai Yu could not help but sigh. On the couch behind him, the elderly Liu Biao was still sleeping soundly.
Ever since he was frightened by Zhang Yun's ear-cutting, Liu Biao's health has been deteriorating. Although he was not in danger of death, his spirit has become increasingly depressed. In addition to dealing with official matters, he spent most of his time in coma after returning to the inner courtyard. A deep sleep.
Cai Yu, who was bored, was combing his hair casually, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a white hair among his waterfall-like black hair.
A look of surprise flashed across the young woman's beautiful face, and she quickly pulled out the white hair.
Staring at the white hair, Cai Yu's eyes flashed with melancholy, and she sighed quietly: "I have gray hair when I am only thirty years old. How can I age so fast."
While talking to herself, Cai Yu looked back at her sleeping husband on the couch, a hint of resentment quietly passing through her eyes.
Cai Yu once heard thatSome old women have said that if a woman is not nourished by a man, she is like a flower that cannot be watered by nectar and will easily wither.
She is as young as she is, just like a blooming flower. Unfortunately, her husband is getting older and has no energy to soothe her young heart.
¡°Alas~~¡±
There was another sigh, full of helplessness.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]
Hearing the word "Yan Liang", Cai Yu's heart suddenly shook.
It was not surprising that Yan Liang sent someone here, but what surprised Cai Yu was that the person who came was not asking to see Liu Biao, but to see himself.
??The beautiful eyebrows were slightly condensed, and after thinking for a moment, Cai Yu stood up and walked away lightly.
In the side hall, Cai Yu saw the woman. She recognized at a glance that this young woman was her niece's personal maid.
Cai Yu¡¯s sister is Huang Chengyan¡¯s wife, and Huang Yueying is naturally her niece.
When the maid saw Cai Yu arriving, she hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Cai Yu waved her hand to signal her to excuse herself and asked, "Why are you here in Xiangyang when you are not serving Yueying in Xinye?"
"This slave, by order of my master, has come to deliver a letter to Madam, as well as some small filial gifts."
As she said that, the maid took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and offered it with both hands.
"Why did this Yan Liang suddenly write to me? What on earth was he thinking?"
Cai Yu was full of doubts in her heart. After a moment of hesitation, she accepted the letter. (To be continued: Piaotian. Registered literature members recommend this work. - Didn't finish reading?
