Chapter 267: Thousand Waves
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor was like a bird with wings, and it spread all over the Han Dynasty and Kyushu in an instant.
It's a pity that the development of things was completely unexpected by Yuan Shu.
Although he successfully directed this enthronement drama, all the actors successfully bypassed the script he formulated himself, including Wang Li and Yuan Shao, who he thought would inevitably stage a fight between the two tigers, and Sun Jian, who "replaced" several counties in Jiangdong.
……
Luoyang, Deyang Palace.
Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Xun Shuang, Taiwei Huang Wan, Dasi Nong Wang Yun, Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu and Da Honglu Chen Ji and others were all in the court.
Looking at the piles of concerts on the desk, the sixteen-year-old Yong'an Emperor Liu Wei was furious, and the deep sense of humiliation appeared in his heart again, and he swept all the concertos on the ground with a big hand, and the spirit of the king was fully revealed.
"What about Wang Deyu? Did he eat dry food? Were all his exploits in the past water-filled turnips? Why is it that in the year since he took charge of Gyeonggi, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty have been falling apart more and more rapidly, and the power of the princes has also increased?
I asked him to go to Chang'an to welcome my imperial brother back to Beijing, but the imperial brother slipped from under his nose to Yanzhou. I ordered him to be promoted to the former general, Henan Mansion Yin, but as a result, the princes were allowed to sit big, and the second son of Yuan Shu usurped the throne as emperor.
Wang Sinong, I know that you are Wang Deyu's second uncle, tell me yourself, he is so neglectful of all things in the court, but he is the demeanor of an important minister? ”
"Your Majesty is angry, the matter of King Chen Liujun and the rebellion of Yuan Shu Deyu certainly has an unshirkable responsibility, but Deyu also has a hard time, and Your Majesty Rongchen will talk to Your Majesty in detail!" Wang Yun hurriedly bowed to His Highness.
Emperor Yong'an suppressed the extreme resentment in his heart, and nodded at Wang Yun: "Then you will tell me about Wang Deyu's difficulties, and let me see if our world-famous former general is really derelict in his duties?" ”
Wang Yun took out the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, since the former general Wang Li took charge of Gyeonggi in Henan Province, he has successively promulgated tax reforms such as leasing and modulation, and the people of the two capitals have benefited a lot, and the population of the two capitals has risen to two-thirds of what was before Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and the population of the two capitals has reached more than one million.
He also recovered several counties in Yongzhou and a county in Nanyang, Jingzhou, and returned them to the arms of my Han Dynasty. As for His Majesty's mention of the return of King Chenliujun to Yanzhou and Yuan Shu's rebellion, Wang Li does have a certain responsibility.
But the so-called incorrect name is not good, Wang Li is only a general of the Quartet, and King Chen Liujun is the prince, His Majesty's royal brother, Yuan Shuyi, the fourth and third dukes, are also the generals of the Quartet, Your Majesty thinks that Wang Li's identity may be controlled by these two? ”
Looking at Wang Yun under the hall, the shame and anger in Emperor Yong'an's heart became deeper and deeper, and the indifference in his eyes was like ice: "According to Wang Sinong, do you want me to continue to give Wang Li power?" Let him tour the world on my behalf? ”
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, the former general has no other intentions, and I ask Your Majesty to retract such remarks. However, if the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done. Wang Yun straightened up from the ground, and the sincerity and loyalty in his eyes were equally visible.
"Your Majesty, if you still want to complete the unification of the country that Emperor Gaozu fought back then, then, Weichen implores Your Majesty to worship the former general Wang Li as the prime minister and general, and have full authority to deal with the matter of King Chen Liujun and Yuan Shu!"
Emperor Yong'an's eyes were like swords, and he glanced at the ministers under the hall: "Then, do you think Wang Sinong's words are okay?" ”
"Your Majesty, Chen Liu's treason, Yuan Shu's anti-Han, for today's plan, we should quickly send a large army to strangle this backfire in the cradle. Wang Sinong's words
Lao Cheng seeks the country, and the ministers seconded it! Yang Biao, Xun Shuang, Xun Yu, Huang Wan and others knelt on the ground together, and they all spoke in unison.
Emperor Yong'an struggled to prop up the dragon chair, gritting his teeth and popping out a voice: "Accurate!" ”
……
Emperor Yong'an felt that his self-esteem had been greatly challenged, with Yuan Shu's rebellion in the past, and Wang Li's self-reliance in the use of soldiers, and the humiliation and resentment in his heart became deeper and deeper. And his fellow brother Emperor Restoration was also suffering from disgrace.
However, unlike in the Deyang Palace, Wang Li wanted to delegate power to the world to crusade against the traitors, while Yuan Shao did not want to go to Yuzhou and Yangzhou.
Jizhou, Liyang, Wei County.
Emperor Xinxin looked at Yuan Shao under the hall with the same gaze, and only after a while did a sentence pop out of his mouth: "According to Yuan Qing's meaning, he doesn't plan to crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu?" But because it's your brother? ”
Yuan Shao shook his head, got up and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong! Back then, the vertical son was instigated by others, and brazenly sent troops to besiege the land of Jizhou, and Weichen and the vertical son have long lost their blood and family relationship, and some are just the hatred of the Pao Ze brothers! ”
Emperor Xinxin snorted coldly: "Since Yuan Qing and I both regard that traitor as an enemy, why did Yuan Qing repeatedly oppose me sending troops to encircle and suppress Yuan Shu?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen opposes sending troops to encircle and suppress the rebels, but now is really not a good time for Your Majesty to send troops!" Yuan Shao's face had gradually shown a hint of unhappiness, and he looked at Emperor Weixin impatiently, "Your Majesty, you were born into the royal family to command all the people in the world, but you are not familiar with military affairs, and you don't know the general trend of the world. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere between Emperor Weixin and Yuan Shao was a bit deadlocked, Xun Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, General Yuan's intention is not disrespectful, but the situation in the world is indeed a little delicate now, and General Yuan can't send troops to Yu and Yangzhou for the time being.
Not to mention that Yuan Shu has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and more than 100 generals under his command, which is definitely not a good bone to gnaw, let's just talk about Yangzhou and Yuzhou, where Yuan Shu is located. Yangzhou and Yuzhou are deep in the south of the Central Plains, Yanzhou in the north, and Jiangnan in the south.
Your Majesty, just imagine, Your Majesty and General Lu and others have traveled from Yanzhou to here, and Yanzhou has been controlled by Cao thieves. The Cao thief sent to Xuzhou a few days ago, and we took the opportunity to accept its base camp, and had an irresolvable deep hatred with the Cao thief.
Your Majesty, if we send troops, may I ask Your Majesty how we will survive the fertile fields of Yanzhou? Is it directly into Yanzhou? Or send someone to negotiate peace with Cao Thief and jointly send troops to Yuan Shu? Isn't the Cao thief worried that we will be wiped out, and I am not worried that the Cao thief will plan and swallow up the power in our hands? ”
What's more, this Yuan Shao is really another Dong Zhuo, and the generals and strategists under his command are also the same as that Li Ru!
Emperor Xinxin suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and a trace of sarcasm appeared on his face: "The implication of Youruo's words is that I want to continue to forbear and no longer pursue the crimes of this traitorous courtier?" ”
"Wechen doesn't mean that!" Xun Chen gave a salute to Emperor Weixin, glanced at Lu Bu, Li Ru, Dong Cheng and others in the hall and continued, "Your Majesty, Emperor Yong'an in Luoyang City is eyeing Your Majesty, and Cao Thief has a deep grudge against Your Majesty, so it is not a good idea to fight with Yuan Shu at this time.
However, my Jizhou and Youzhou are neighbors, bordering and merging states, Youzhou Gongsun Zan does not respect the royal road, is cruel and murderous, and repeatedly violates my borders, and now he is threatening His Majesty's uncle Liu Boan Liu Youzhou. If Your Majesty puts the overall situation first, first determines Youzhou, and then settles and merges the state, Weichen believes that His Majesty's strength will inevitably increase greatly at that time.
Moreover, Weichen also believes that Yuan Shu is this
When the rebellion, Emperor Yong'an will inevitably make Wang Deyu wave his troops south, Your Majesty may wish to temporarily endure for a while, when Emperor Yong'an and Yuan Shu make a fish and die and the net is broken, we will wait for the soldiers to point directly at Luoyang, why worry that Luoyang is not broken? Your Majesty's great revenge is not avenged? ”
Emperor Xinxin turned his head to look at Chen Gong and Dong Cheng, and saw that both of them nodded, so he pressed that anger in his heart: "Accurate, first set Youzhou, and then press and merge the state!" ”
……
Danyang County, County Office.
Looking at everyone in the hall, Sun Jian's face was still calm, but his heart was also uneasy. But unlike Emperor Restoration and Emperor Yong'an, he did not have a heart of anger, only a heart of blood and excitement.
He knew that his opportunity had come, he would no longer have to be subject to Yuan Shu, and he would become the new master of Jiangdong.
However, although he can still endure his face and not change his color, how can Sun Quan, who is just ten years old, still endure it at this moment?
Sun Quan looked at the generals and strategists under the hall, only to feel that the blood was full of blood running through his head, and he hurriedly came out to hug his fist: "Ah Weng, at this time, Yuan Shu's dog thief is holding high the anti-flag, and it will inevitably usher in the monstrous anger of the imperial court, but it is also an opportunity for us to wait."
Ah Weng, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to oppose Yuan Shu, on the one hand, to correct our own name, and on the other hand, we can take advantage of the anxiety of Yuan Shu's war with the imperial court to occupy several counties in Jiangdong and strengthen the power and territory of my Sun clan? ”
"Gongjin, what do you think about this?" Seeing that Zhou Shang, Wu Jing, Huang Gai and other old ministers did not say anything, and Sun Jian was noncommittal to the second brother's suggestion, Sun Ce hurriedly asked his friend Zhou Yu on the side for help.
My brother is still so urgent, why is this temperament getting sharper and sharper? Zhou Yu shook his head secretly, stood beside Sun Ce and admonished: "The lord, the words of the second prince and the eldest prince are by no means unreasonable, and please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
Sun Jian's face finally showed a smile: "Gong Jin's intention is to also want General Ben and Yuan Shu to break up, but General Ben and this Yuan Highway still have a choice after all, at this time, stab him in the back, I'm afraid, right?" ”
Zhou Yu arched his hand and talked eloquently: "Although Yuan Shu has also played the lord as a general, Yuan Shu and the lord have no virtue to carry forward, nor do they know the grace of encounter, they just want to form an alliance with the lord and at the same time serve as a knife to open up the situation in Jiangdong."
Success is not informal, so why should the lord care about the friendship of his former comrades? Now that Yuan Shu is raising the flag, the world is anti-Yuan, how similar is it to Dong Zhuo, the righteous and anti-national thief of the Kwantung Coalition Army in the past? The lord's opposition to Yuan at this time is not a small righteousness, but the loyalty of the world. When people all over the world hear it, they will surely praise the lord's profound righteousness.
Wang Deyu coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to sit on the two states of Yong and Si. And Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also heroes with the world in mind, these two people are now also in control of a state, if the lord does not use this opportunity to strengthen himself, I am afraid that he will only be able to look up to these three people in the future. ”
"Then according to Gong Jin's intentions, what should General Ben do?" Sun Jian was still playing with the ancient ingot scabbard in his hand.
"My lord, since Wang Deyu is coercing the Son of Heaven, then Yuan Shu is against the Han Dynasty, and Wang Deyu will inevitably point the sword at Yuzhou to ask Yuan Shu in the name of the righteousness of the imperial court. If the lord takes advantage of the opportunity at this moment to contact Lujiang Lukang, start from Lujiang in the south, wave his troops to the north, and at the same time let people go south to Yuzhang, Jian'an, Linhai and Luling counties, why worry about the great cause! ”
Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu with relief, the scabbard in his hand smashed on the desk, and looked at Zhou Shang, Wu Jing and Huang Gai Chengpu: "Gongjin's words, what do you think?" ”
"I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the lord and lay a great territory for the lord!" Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, and the sound went straight to the roof.
