    A cavalry of scouts flew to Liaodong and reported to Yan Liang the news that Sima Yi had proclaimed himself emperor.  ¡òLiterary Museumr />

    At this time, Yan Liang was still having a banquet with his ministers, talking about conquering Goguryeo and clearing out Liu Bei's remnant party.

    The fact that Sima Yi proclaimed himself emperor immediately disturbed the happy atmosphere of Chu's monarchs and ministers. They were surprised and soon became indignant.

    Sima Yi dared to proclaim himself emperor. This was clearly a blatant provocation to Da Chu. How could the soldiers of Da Chu tolerate it?

    Yan Liang didn't have much anger. These were the troubled times, and no one with some strength had the ambition to be the emperor. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei could become emperors, why couldn't Sima Yi.

    However, Yan Liang was a little surprised by this.

    ??History, Sima Yi can be said to have gained power after annihilating Cao Shuang's group, and he also received the support of most of the aristocratic groups. At that time, Sima Yi was fully capable of reigning Emperor Li.

    But Sima Yi did not. It was not until his grandson Sima Yan that he replaced Wei.

    It can be seen from this that Sima Yi is an extremely patient person and will not be easily seduced by the emperor's false reputation. Why is he so anxious to proclaim himself emperor now?

    After thinking about it for a while, Yan Liang quickly figured it out.

    Now that Liu Bei has fled to Goguryeo, the only one left in the world who can compete with Yan Liang is Bingzhou, where Sima Yi is based.

    Sima Yi wanted to win people's hearts and make the civil and military officials of Bingzhou work for him. To defend that three-acre land, he had to give them enough benefits.

    The so-called benefits are nothing more than official positions and money. Then, after Sima Yi becomes emperor, he can openly give these people official positions and noble titles, so as to win people's hearts.

    In other words, Sima Yi proclaimed himself emperor because he had no choice but to do so.

    "Very good, Sima Yi, the ambitious man, has finally shown his true colors. This time I don't have to make excuses, and I can justifiably kill him." Yan Liang sneered.

    It is said that there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the people. On the land of China, only one country is destined to exist. What other reason is more justifiable than the elimination of another country?

    "Your Majesty, now that the Han Dynasty has been destroyed, there are still counties in Youji that have not substantively surrendered. By proclaiming himself emperor, Sima Yi must have wanted to recruit these remnants of Liu Bei's forces to join him, and their threat cannot be ignored. I believe that if Goguryeo is destroyed, Goguryeo will be destroyed.  The matter can only be postponed for a while. We must first destroy Sima Yi's puppet Jin and pacify Zhongzhou before we can consider wiping out the four barbarians."

    Hearing Xu You's words, Yan Liang pondered for a while and nodded slightly: "Zi Yuan's words are right. Sima Yi is a greater threat to Hebei than Liu Bei and Goguryeo by disturbing Hebei. It's time for the army to return south."

    The plan was decided, and Yan Liang stayed in Xiangping for three days, then ordered his troops to go south.

    Lu Meng and other Liaodong ministers still guarded Liaodong.  Yan Liang led Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci and other generals to return south with the army.

    In order to defend against Goguryeo, Yan Liang left more than 20,000 infantry troops for Lu Meng, which could be regarded as a supplement to the strength of his Liaodong Army.

    It is now autumn.  The rainwater on Binhai Road is almost gone and the road has recovered a lot.  When Yan Liang returned south this time, he no longer took Lulongsai, but took the coastal road.

    The army headed south, taking the sparsely populated Binhai Road, and entered the territory of Liaoxi County.

    On this day, I passed a mountain. The mountain stood beside the sea, towering into the clouds, and it was very majestic.

    Yan Liang asked the guide what the name of the mountain was, and the guide replied that the name of the mountain was Jieshi Mountain.

    "Is this the legendary Jieshi Mountain?" Yan Liang's expression flashed a bit of depth, as if he recalled some memories.

    Yan Liang was interested, so he ordered his army to set up camp near Jieshi Mountain. Yan Liang led dozens of riders to the top of Jieshi Mountain to view the sea view.

    On the main peak of Jieshi Mountain, there is a "Hanwu Platform". It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited this place during his eastward tour and built a platform here to watch the sea.

    Yan Liang stood on the high platform that had been in disrepair for a long time. He looked up into the distance and saw that the sea was vast and the waves were magnificent. It was so vast.

    Looking up, I saw two huge rocks protruding from the sea in the sea. The tall one was like a monument and the low one was like a tomb. They stood out in the blue sea.

    Looking at this beautiful scenery, recalling old memories in his mind, Yan Liang couldn't help but think of an ancient poem, so he impromptuly chanted:

    To the east is the Jieshi to view the sea.

    ??The water is sluggish, but the mountains and islands are standing tall.

    There are many trees and lush grass.

    The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.

    ??The journey of the sun and the moon, if it comes out of it;

    The stars are as brilliant as if they came from within.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    After reciting "Guan Cang Hai", the people on the left and right were all amazed that he was proclaimed emperor, and Xu You, who accompanied him back to the court, was even more shocked.

    Xu You has followed Yan Liang for many years and thinks he knows Yan Liang best. In his eyes, Yan Liang is an unparalleled warrior, extremely resourceful, and an overlord who has his own way of doing things.

    But Xu Youwan never expected that Yan Liang, who seemed rough and ungentlemanly, could actually compose such stunning poems.

    Xu You was born as a scholar. He read a lot of poetry and books. He thought that he was extremely talented and had some skills in reciting poems and writing poems.

    "Of course he knows that Yan Liang's "Guan Lun Hai" is actually the best poem in poetry. Even the world's literary giants may not be able to recite it.

    "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would have a book of poems in his chest. This poem is really wonderful." Xu You couldn't help but admire, and the look of admiration could not be suppressed on his old face.

    Yan Liang smiled and said, "Am I that kind of arty and rotten scholar who recites poems and composes poems? This poem was just written by a friend of mine. When I saw this scene, I suddenly remembered it."

    "Friend?" Xu You became more and more surprised, "I wonder who this friend of your Majesty is, who can make such a wonderful gift."

    Who else, of course, is Cao Cao.

    In the past history, Cao Cao was victorious in his expedition to Wuhuan. On his way back to his army, he passed by the Jieshi Mountain and was inspired to write "Guan Lun Hai".

    This poem is a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages. Yan Liang in his previous life had already memorized this poem when he was in school, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity to recite it for Cao Cao today.

    Looking at the world, although Cao Cao is a mortal enemy, he is the only enemy that Yan Liang truly appreciates.

    If it weren¡¯t for the purpose of competing for the world, Yan Liang would really want to have a drinking and singing song with Cao Cao, regardless of ancient and modern times.

    "It's just a long-time friend who has passed away, so don't mention it." Of course Yan Liang would not tell Xu You that this poem was written by Cao Cao.

    Yan Liang didn¡¯t want to disclose it, and Xu You didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions.  He murmured and repeated the song "Viewing the Sea", recalling the beauty in it.

    The sun sets and the sky becomes dark.

    Yan Liang sighed with emotion, then went down to Jieshi Mountain, rested for one night, and the army continued southward the next day.

    A few days later, Yan Liang's squadron returned to Youzhou Prefecture to govern Jicheng. At this time, there was information about the Jin Dynasty in Bingzhou.  It has been delivered to Yan Liang's imperial court like snowflakes.

    As Xu You speculated, Sima Yi's proclaiming himself emperor indeed caused a lot of waves in Youji and Hebei states.

    In Youzhou, Han Meng led the entire county.  The western part of Shanggu surrendered to Sima Yi, while Changshan in western Hebei and many counties to the west of Zhongshan counties also fell into the arms of Jin.

    When the Chu army went all the way north, it was always chasing Liu Bei. In the Youzhou County of Hebei Province that was not on the main battlefield, there were those who surrendered.  Yan Liangdu ordered all the governors to perform their duties to appease people's hearts.

    Yan Liangyuan was waiting to destroy Liu Bei, then go back and sort out Hebei, and substantively incorporate the counties into the territory of Da Chu.  Obey the central command.

    But Sima Yi's proclaiming himself emperor disrupted Yan Liang's planned steps.

    Liu Bei implemented the Nine-Rank Officials Law and vigorously mobilized powerful people from aristocratic families in Hebei. Most of the governors of the counties were from aristocratic families.  Even though this person was nominally afraid of Yan Liang and wanted to join him, he was secretly afraid of Yan Liang.

    Now Sima Yi, as a representative of the family, is proclaimed emperor.  These governors from aristocratic families found new patrons, and naturally they quickly fell into the arms of the Jin Kingdom.

    Because, only in the Jin State, the interests of these powerful families can be fully protected from generation to generation, regardless of whether they have real talents or knowledge.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the blue, no matter you are a wealthy person or a child from a poor family, as long as you are mediocre, you can never pass the imperial examination or become an official.

    The situation in Hebei was turbulent for a while, and the momentum of Jin State was rising suddenly.

    However, Yan Liang didn¡¯t even frown.

    Yes, Sima Yi did cause some waves, and many counties did betray the country and defect to the Jin Dynasty. This is an indisputable fact.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, however, the real heartland counties of the two Jiyou states such as Julu, Guangping, Fanyang, Hejian, etc., such as Wei County where Yecheng is located, Yan State where Jixian County is located, are all firmly in the hands of Da Chu.

    The hinterland of Hebei is as stable as Mount Tai. Even if it loses a little bit of skin, it doesn't matter.

    Yan Liang did not panic and left Tai Shi Ci to lead 30,000 troops to guard Jixian County. After guarding Youzhou, Yan Liang led his army back to Yecheng, the northern capital.

    The first thing Yan Liang did when he returned to Yecheng was to behead Liu Bei's son Liu Chan at the north gate of Yecheng and hang his head on the city gate as a shock.

    Liu Chan has been in various places in Hebei, experiencingAfter counting the cruelty of his father Liu Bei, he announced the severance of the father-son relationship with Liu Bei, disintegrating Liu Bei's remaining reputation, and basically drained his usable value.

    A yellow -haired boy who did not use the value, Yan Liangzhang could stay in his life, and naturally slaughtered in one knife to deter the people who had a good man in Hebei.

    After killing Liu Chan, the second thing Yan Liang did was to summon his ministers to discuss the strategy of attacking Jin and annihilating Sima Yi.

    Most of the opinions given by the ministers were in favor of attacking in the north as a subsidiary and attacking in the south as the main one.

    Since ancient times, Bingzhou has mountains and rivers inside and outside, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the north of Bingzhou, there are several great passes such as Yanmen and Juyong. The mountains are dangerous and it is extremely difficult to attack from north to south.

    In the southern part of Bingzhou, the terrain is becoming more and more open. Only relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River can it become a barrier to the south.

    But now Hedong County on the north bank of the Yellow River and most of Pingyang County further north are controlled by Dachu. Bingzhou has lost the natural danger of the Yellow River, and its defensive capabilities in the south have been greatly weakened.

    It is precisely for this reason that the counselors suggested using some soldiers and horses from Youzhou to attack Daijun and Shanggu to threaten the northern part of Jin.

    The middle road attacked Jingxingguan from Julu, threatening the middle road of Jin.

    On the south road, Yan Liang served as the imperial commander and personally led the army from the northeast of Hebei Province to Jinyang.

    In this way, the three-pronged encirclement will definitely defeat the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop.

    Yan Liang weighed it up and was ready to adopt the strategies of the counselors.

    At this moment, the imperial sergeant rushed in and sent an urgent report from Hedong to the front of the resistance.

    "Your Majesty, General Zhang has urgently reported that Sima Yi led 80,000 infantry and cavalry to attack our Pingyang County from Jinyang south. General Zhang was defeated and had to abandon Pingyang City and retreat to Fenyang. Your Majesty, please send reinforcements as soon as possible to rescue us.  ¡±
