In January 198 AD, the new emperor Liu Xi ascended the throne on a high earthen platform outside the city of Nanchang, with the year name Jiankang, and was the thirtieth emperor in the history of the Han Dynasty.

And the new emperor, who has just ascended the throne, is not yet half a year old.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, although Tao Guifei was delirious and in poor health, she was still canonized as the queen mother.

The old ministers of the Tao clan in the southeast have all been greatly improved because of the establishment of the new dynasty.

At this point, the power of the southeastern forces reached its peak.

Among them, Tao Ying was named a hussar general, commanding the southern border and comforting Baiyue.

Chen Deng was enshrined as Shang Shuling, the general leader Shang Shutai, and Mi Zhu was followed by Shang Shulang.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Han Hao, Chen Qun, Sima Lang and other five political leaders who have been responsible for the management of the three major cities of Jinling, Hangzhou and Suzhou are all appointed as county guards in the southeast and named marquis.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were appointed as Cao Peng of the East and West respectively.

Guo Jia was named the captain of the guard, the governor of the hearing, spying, the school office, and also the governor of the Beijing guard.

Zhao Yun was the general of the expedition to the east, Lu Su was the general of the expedition to the west, and Tai Shici was the general of the expedition to the south.

Xu Chu is the general of Wuwei, the marquis of Guannei, and the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army.

Xu Rong is the left general, Xu Huang is the right general, Tao Ji, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Xu Sheng are the four towns.

The rest of the generals and ministers have been promoted and canonized.

But the most important thing is the potter himself.

Because His Majesty was young, the Queen Mother was not in good health to supervise state affairs, and the pottery merchant was named the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister, and waited for the Son of Heaven to handle state affairs.

From then on, the potters became the nominal supreme consuls of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, because of the reputation of the Taiping prince back then, the world also called the pottery merchant the prime minister of the peace.

After the Taiping Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty received the edict, the first thing he did was to issue an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven: to open the world, directly reprimand Jingzhou Fuwan, Dong Cheng, and Liu Qiong, the Son of Heaven supported by the Sanliu Group, as a puppet emperor, and reprimand their major crimes, which are not tolerated by heaven and earth, and cannot be punished.

Of course, this denunciation of the edict is also sloppy.

Now You Heng, who has been appointed as the governor of the Prime Minister's Sect, has shouldered this important responsibility without shirking.

He wrote a condemnation article full of a sense of justice, which was directly promulgated to the world, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the seven counties of Jingzhou.

In addition, the pottery merchant also issued an edict to entitle Lü Bu and Sun Ce as former generals and later generals respectively, leading the land of Jianghuai to help him defeat the thieves and overthrow the puppet dynasty.

When the news reached Jingzhou, the whole Jingzhou was shaken, and even Liu Zhang of Yizhou was shaken, although it was in a remote place in Xishu, after all, he was also a member of the Han family who supported Liu Qiong's dynasty.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei didn't take the potter's imposing Wen too seriously, but Fu Wan and Dong Cheng were obviously a lot less patient than the two of them.

Especially after the subduation, the lung tubes almost didn't let you spew out.

In fact, anyone has to be angry if you change it, and You Heng's essay is really annoying.

It's just a matter of sharp words, but he also finished ambushing him, the prime minister of the puppet dynasty, listed separately, and compared it with the new Taiping prime minister of the potter.

Isn't this a clear dish for people?

In the book, You Heng listed all the exploits and gentlemanly behaviors that Tao Shang had begun to crusade against Dong Zhuo since eight years ago, including saving the Son of Heaven, crusading against Dong Zhuo Buchen, obtaining Xu Shao's Ten Golden Commentaries, being named the Prince of Taiping, developing Jinling, Like Yuanshu, collecting the homeless, enriching the first party, saving the Han family, and so on.

And compared with the pottery merchant, except that he is the father-in-law of the first emperor, there is no advantage at all!

There is no comparison at all, a pure waste prime minister.

Two prime ministers, one in the sky and one underground.

It's no wonder that the seven orifices who finished their breath smoked it, which was equivalent to smoking his seventeen or eighteen big-eared shaves fiercely in front of everyone in the world, and finally smacked heavily on his face.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

He immediately shouted, saying that he must send troops to fight against the potters. Give the pseudo-dynasty a resounding slap in the face.

But the problem is that Liu Qiong, who is currently assisting the young emperor with him in Jiangling, is Liu Bei, although Liu Bei is now trusted by Liu Biao, most of the military power in Jingzhou is still in Liu Biao's hands.

After the ambush, it is useless to bully Liu Bei, Liu Biao does not agree to send troops, everything is free to discuss.

It wasn't until Liu Biao came from Xiangyang to Jiangling to report to Mianjun according to the time, and he seized the opportunity to tell him about it.

But after Liu Biao finished talking about the ambush, he stroked his beard and smiled silently, which seemed unfathomable.

After finishing his throat, he said that there was smoke, and Liu Biao didn't let go of a single fart.

In the end, he had no choice but to wilt away.

After leaving, Liu Biao went to Liu Bei with a smile.

As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Liu Biao immediately said bluntly: "Brother Xian, you have recently prepared in the court to deal with the trivial matters at hand, if there is no accident, in a few days, we should send troops to the east." ”

Liu Bei was very surprised when he heard this.

"Brother, didn't you tell me earlier that we wouldn't use troops against the potters? Why do you have to fight with it now? ”

Liu Biao smiled and said: "This time and that time." At the beginning, he did not send troops to Taoshang, but because the rebellion of Zhang Xian in the south was undecided, there were many miscellaneous affairs in Jingzhou, and there was no foreign aid, but now, the situation is different...... Besides, the potters set up a court in the east and issued a letter to condemn us, if we don't respond, wouldn't it seem unreasonable? ”

Liu Bei listened to Liu Biao's words and said, "Listening to the meaning of my brother's words, it seems that he has already invited foreign aid?" ”

Liu Biao nodded and said: "During this time, I am in Xiangyang, and I have been sending people to communicate with Ji Yu again, writing letters to him to show him that he is powerful, and asking him to send troops to support, and now Ji Yu has promised to send generals and soldiers and horses to support us, plus the one in the north also wants to cooperate with the old man, and the old man is now a good time to fight with the potter." ”

"The one to the north?" Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The person my brother is referring to is Yuan Shao?" ”

Liu Biao nodded with a smile, and then took out a roll of white silk from his sleeve.

"Brother, look, this was sent from the north the day before yesterday."

Liu Bei unfolded the white silk suspiciously, but saw that it was Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, and it was stamped with the seal of the general Yuan Shao.

The meaning of Yuan Shao's letter was simple: he expressed his willingness to submit to the new dynasty established by the Jingzhou Sanliu clique, to support Liu Qiong, and to openly regard Liu Xi, the prince supported by the pottery merchants, as a puppet emperor.

But he needed Liu to raise troops immediately to crusade against the potters, and he would also raise troops in the north to attack the potters in the south and the north.

Liu Bei pondered carefully for a moment and said, "Brother, Yuan Shao is not an idle person, you must not let him deceive him." ”

Liu Biao said with a smile: "Brother Xian, don't worry, why Yuan Shao's move, the old man knows how much in his heart." After the first battle of Guandu, the absolute advantage that Yuan Shao once occupied no longer existed in the short term, but he wanted to take revenge in a short time, so he could only endure the humiliation, ask the old man for help, and promised to submit to the court, hehe, but he thought he was using the potter to hang the old man, but the old man still used the potter to hang him! ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Please ask my brother for advice." ”

Liu Biao said with a smile: "The old man united Ji Yu's soldiers and horses this time, and fought with the pottery merchants, the victory or defeat is secondary, even if he can't beat the pottery merchants, but the old man can also suddenly turn the military peak when he collects the troops, pointing directly at Jingnan, Zhang Xian betrayed the old man, cut off and stood on his own, and the old man was going to pick him up when he thought the old man was the busiest!" As long as Jingnan is appeased from Xin, even without Yuan Shao's support, the old man is not afraid of the potter, and he can fight against him. ”

Liu Bei suddenly realized when he heard this.

But then he raised another concern.

"Brother, it's just that Yuan Shao has been suspected of harming the death of the first emperor, although there is no testimony in this matter at the moment, but if he is caught by someone with a heart in the future, I am afraid that it will not be good for us, and please think twice."
