Chen Qi and Chen Deng couldn't quite understand what Tao Qian's brain circuit was all about.

The support of Cao Bao and Cao Hong is a matter of course.

Because they are Tao Qian's basic plate, the higher Tao Qian's status, the better it is for them, they are all Yangzhou people, and if they want to mix in Xuzhou, they must have Tao Qian's high status and stable position.

Since Guo Peng has set a precedent, it is better to continue, something is better than nothing, and it is better to have a monarch in the name of a king.

But this is not in the interests of Xuzhou people.

Raise a soil emperor in the land of a state?

Are you kidding?!

However, Tao Qian had already prepared and transferred Cao Bao and Zang Hong to Donghai County, and this old guy actually planned to use force to ensure that he ascended the throne.

On October 17 of the third year of Xingping, Tao Qian, the general of Xuzhou Mu and Annan, accepted the title of the imperial court, Jin Jue was the duke, formally established the Duchy of Xu, and ascended the throne as the monarch of the State of Xu, and set up the eldest son Tao Shang as the prince of the State of Xu.

The State of Xu was officially established, although it was not so stable and not so popular, and it was even hated and disgusted by many people.

But under the oppression of the powers, it was established.

The Xuzhou people and Tao Qian were forced to establish a relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Although the state of Xu was established, the seeds of rebellion had been planted, and the people of Xuzhou, who were disgruntled about it, had already acted in secret, ready to use the knife in their hands to protect their interests.

They don't want to feed an Earth Emperor!

Or is it in the face of the deterrence of an extremely powerful external regime, using the land of one state and the land of six and a half states to confront and look for death?

At this time, Guo Peng was still fighting with the Huns in Bingzhou, and he didn't know anything about it.

And this news quickly spread out, crossed the Yangtze River, spread to Jiangdong, spread to Jingzhou, and continued to spread to the west, and it spread very quickly.

When Sun Ce received the seal from the imperial court envoy, his brain was blank.

Not to mention Sun Ce, Zhou Yu is no better, they are all very strange, they just want to ask for the name of a heavy general, why did they suddenly become the monarch of the state?

He is only in his twenties, he is a young man, how did he become a monarch?

He is really not modest, but he just didn't understand how a young man who was looked down upon everywhere became a monarch?

Before Sun Ce could react, he learned that Tao Qian of Xuzhou accepted the title, took the position of Duke Xu, established the Duchy of Xu, and also established the crown prince and set up the inheritance.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce learned that Liu Xuan, who was struggling in Yuzhang County, received the news and accepted the title of the imperial envoy without saying a word, entered the throne of Yue, established the Yue Kingdom, and then asked Sun Ce to hand over Huiji County to him and abide by the laws and regulations of the imperial court.

Sun Ce blinked, looked at Zhou Yu again, and the two were stunned for a while.

Sun Ce's forces were all recruited by himself, and the local powerful clans in Jiangdong were suppressed by him very badly, and no one could say anything to him for the time being, although some people objected, but Sun Ce would not care.

And it is not Sun Ce's habit to do things if he is bullied and not to fight back, Sun Bofu has always been bullied and must be beaten back.

Then, at the end of October, with the support of his subordinates and the army, Sun Ce announced to the outside world that he would enter the Duke of Wu, establish the Duchy of Wu, set the capital of Wu County, Wu County, and then march into Yuzhang County.

Take the good, leave the bad back!

Give you some color and you will open a dyeing shop?

is just a Yuzhang County, and he really thinks of himself as the king of Yue? !

Sun Ce personally led a large army from Wu County and marched to Yuzhang County.

As soon as the two countries were established, a war broke out, and it was still a war that the imperial court could not restrain at all.

Wu and Yue seem to be natural rivals, even if they were reincarnated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, they still did not stop fighting, and war broke out.

The new order was established from the very beginning without roots, and no one planned to really pay attention to it, and they didn't know how to pay attention to it.

Leaders who lack knowledge of history and culture do not have enough time to understand how this system of sub-feudalism should work, but how to fight for hegemony, they still understand, to be precise, they do not have the thinking of separating feuds, and they are full of thinking of mergers and hegemony.

Therefore, the order of the division was not established, and the ambition of the princes to compete for hegemony was stimulated.

The battle of Wu and Yue was just a small beginning, and when the war broke out between Wu and Yue, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao had not yet decided whether to ascend the throne.

In fact, Liu Biao thought, he really thought, he was originally a clan, the clan named the king of the country, and Liu Miao had already ascended to the throne of the king of Yue, so he couldn't be the king of Chu?

But Liu Biao didn't have any basic forces around him, and his subordinates discussed and discussed, but they couldn't get a result.

Because everyone has selfish intentions, especially the Cai family, who has a relationship with Guo Peng, they don't want to support a soil emperor, even if it is a nominal soil emperor.

So while the battle of Wuyue was going on, Jingzhou was still hesitating.

It was not until early November that Liu Zhang ascended the throne of Shu in Chengdu and established the news of the establishment of the Shu Kingdom that Jingzhou became restless.

The locals of Yizhou don't want to support Liu Zhang's entry into the king of Shu, and the righteous name is still quite overwhelming.

In the past, Liu Zhang was the boss, and rebellion was not so life-threatening, but now Liu Zhang is the feudal monarch, and the name is completely different, and the meaning is different.

Zhao Wei, an ambitious local representative, strongly opposed this matter, and while leading his troops to Chengdu, he sent someone to Liu Zhang, stating the benefits, but he didn't agree anyway.

But someone wanted Liu Zhang to agree.

Pang Xi, the representative of Dongzhou, as the representative of outsiders who followed Liu Yan to Shudi, Pang Xi absolutely supported Liu Zhang, and he must also support Liu Zhang.

Without Liu Zhang, they will definitely be killed by the locals of Yizhou, so the higher and more stable Liu Zhang's status, the more beneficial it is to them.

Pang Xi, who received the news first, led his troops into Chengdu in the name of escorting the imperial envoys, and with the assistance of officials sent by Dongzhou, he successfully persuaded Liu Zhang to accept the imperial court's conferral in early November, ascend to the throne of Shu, establish the state of Shu, and rule within the scope of Yizhou.

Zhao Wei, who was a step slower, was very dissatisfied, and stopped in Jiangzhou, thinking left and right and couldn't swallow this breath.

So he simply contacted the Shu wealthy clan who had been contacted before, stated the benefits and disadvantages to them, explained the disadvantages of making Liu Zhang the king of Shu, and then directly announced a rebellion in Jiangzhou.

Zhao Wei did not recognize Liu Zhang's identity as the king of Shu, saying that it was a conspiracy of Pang Xi and others, and the conspiracy that he came up with in order to enslave the Shu people was very ridiculous in itself, and it was impossible for the imperial court to do so.

Therefore, he wanted to represent the imperial court to crusade against Liu Zhang and Pang Xi.

Zhao Wei established himself as the general of Yizhou Mu and Zhennan, and led the army from Jiangzhou to Chengdu.

Along the way, Zhao Wei received the support of many Shu wealthy families who were unwilling to accept this situation.

They mobilized their own private tenants and slaves to join Zhao Wei's army, gave Zhao Wei money and food, helped him conquer the city, and mobilized public opinion to support him.

Who wants to be Liu Zhang's subjects!

A mere earth emperor dares to claim hegemony in Yizhou? Do you want us to be a cow or a horse for you?

Yizhou people are unwilling!

For a time, Zhao Yunjun's momentum was huge.

Because of the establishment of the Shu State or not, this civil strife broke out in Shu.

When the new Shu king Liu Zhang learned about it, he was shocked and hurriedly asked Pang Xi for help, Pang Xi's face was not good, but he also knew that once Liu Zhang lost his status, he would also die without a place to be buried, and the entire Dongzhou faction would be purged.

This is a war that the people of Dongzhou who have lost their homeland cannot lose!

Pang Xi stood with his sword and asked Liu Zhang for armor, swords, spears, and crossbows, and he would lead the Dongzhou soldiers and Zhao Wei's rebels to fight to the death, swearing to defend Liu Zhang's position and rule to the death.

30,000 Dongzhou soldiers and 40,000 Yizhou soldiers started this war for their own interests and purposes.

The civil war in Shu began.
