In April, the sun was shining.

Liu Bei was ordered to build an altar and a high temple in Xiangyang, and he was the king with the name "wing". (According to the statement of the "Hanshu Astronomical Chronicles" that the stars in the sky correspond to the division of the earth, the wings and the wings correspond to Jingzhou.) ）

Another half month, Yizhou Chengdu.

Liu Zhangxi built a nine-zhang high altar, carried the throne as the king, and was called "Shu". (The name of Yizhou's corresponding field is too strange, or it sounds good to use Shu, at least get used to it.) ）

Ten days ago, Jiangdong Moling.

Sun Ce was ordered, tired of seven feet of soil, carried the throne as the king, called "Wu", and since then Wu Wang was born.

In the next few days, Zhuo County, Youzhou.

When the envoy of the court arrived, Gongsun Du put an incense case and prepared to meet the holy decree, but when the holy decree was read, Gongsun Du stood up and said: "Gaozu has a saying, a different surname cannot be crowned a king, this is the ancestral system, and it cannot be abolished!" ”

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Du turned around and entered, ignoring the liver-colored envoy.

"What a big dog, it's rude, and you don't put Your Majesty in your eyes......"

The envoy scolded for a while, and saw that Xun You and the others had also walked cleanly, only a few guards looked at him with annoyed faces on the side, and his heart suddenly became cold, and his tongue was knotted.

"That'...... Our family doesn't care about him, but our family doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty in this matter, and we will ...... It must be retribution! ”

After saying it calmly, he turned around and left, oh no, it's running.

"Haha......"

A burst of laughter came from behind, which made Youxin go back and scold, but thinking of Gongsun Du's attitude, as well as the horizontal flesh on the faces of those people, to be precise, murderous aura, made him speed up his pace again.

Obviously, I was already scared in my heart!

Funai.

Gongsun Du, including Xun You and others, gathered in the study.

At this time, a person walked in and said something in Gongsun Du's ear, and the silence was suddenly broken.

"The person has left, let's talk about why Cao Cao did this?"

Gongsun Du lit a cigarette, tapped the table twice, and said.

According to the news, Cao Cao had sent envoys to meet with Liu Bei and Sun Ce before this, especially Sun Ce, three times. The last time was the king, and not only Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and other people from the clan, but also Sun Ce and Ming Gong and other different surnames, which greatly violated the ancestral system, which shows that Cao Cao's plan is very big. Xun Yu analyzed it first.

The voice fell, and Xi Zhong said: "Looking at the Han Dynasty, it has been peaceful for a long time, and the princes from all walks of life have also been strong soldiers for many years, and now the situation is changing, and the war is about to restart." Looking back at the war two years ago, Cao's army can be said to have been beaten by Ming Gong without the power to fight back, and now the war is about to restart, Cao Cao is worried about the war, and it is very likely that he will win over others. ”

"As Lord Xi said, the king may be the condition for their alliance, but I don't know if there are other conditions, and which forces will form an alliance with them!" The speed at which he speaks is neither fast nor slow, giving people a sense of ease and fear.

In fact, Gongsun Du was not afraid of anyone, nodded, and said, "So do you think these three parties have formed an alliance with Cao Cao?" ”

Guo Jia opened his mouth under the gaze of his own master: "Ming Gong, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce, in fact, whether it is three, or two, or one alliance with it, it has nothing to do with us. ”

"How?"

"Yizhou Liu Zhang, but a coward, is not enough to keep it, how can it be enterprising! Besides, even if Liu Zhang has this intention, this time Xiliang Ma Chao attacked Hanzhong, it is still a question whether he can pass this level at that time, and maybe he will even lose his own nest. ”

Guo Jia's words, everyone agreed. It can be seen that Liu Zhang is really incompetent, and people can't afford it.

"Besides, Liu Bei, who has been suppressed by Cao Cao for many years, and now that he has just gained a firm foothold, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the past grievances, and the possibility of forming an alliance is not very likely. Moreover, Jingzhou and Jiangdong have a great hatred, if Jingzhou sends troops north, it is useless to have less, and if there are more, will Sun Ce be tempted? After all, such a big piece of fat is on his lips, and Sun Ce has been greedy for many years! ”

"As for Sun Ce...... Little Overlord? Hehe! ”

Guo Jia smiled disdainfully and said, "Not to mention General Huang, even if it is General Lu, even if it is the reincarnation of the overlord, it is nothing more than that!" Can a mere little bully turn the sky upside down? ”

"Hahaha~"

Gongsun Du took the lead in laughing, and Xun You and the others were not suppressing the laughter in their hearts, and they also laughed out loud.

After a while, the laughter stopped, and Gongsun Du gradually restrained his smile, and said meaningfully: "Fengxiao's words are to the point, and they can be described as words for the country. ”

Then he changed his voice and said, "However, we should not take it lightly, because any negligence may lead to huge mistakes and heavy losses. Although we are powerful now, we are also all soldiers who have worked hard with their lives, and we must not squander them at will. ”

"Ming Gong is wise!"

Everyone shouted in unison with serious faces: "We will strictly abide by the orders of the Ming Gong, always be vigilant against ourselves, and ensure that nothing is missed. ”

Gongsun Du's face returned to indifference, and said: "In this way, let's go and prepare for a good life, this war is not far away." ”

"Yes, Ming Gong."

Everyone responded, and Xun Yu suddenly said: "The matter of the holy decree? ”

"Don't care!"

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is still there, then the ancestral system is there, and we are still Hanchen, so we can't violate it!" ”

"Yes, I'll do as I was told."

And the crowd dispersed.

King Yi, King Shu, King Wu, the news of the three people being sealed swept like a hurricane through all the states and counties of Dahan. Ma Chaofang passed the pass, entered the avenue from the north of Baoxie Road, went all the way to the south, and when he went to Hanzhong, he heard the news in the middle of the road.

"What? These three bastards were crowned kings? ”

Ma Chaojunyi's face became hideous, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

"What about Father? Is there any news? ”

"Will ...... General, no ...... No! The soldier replied with a wink, and when he saw Ma Chao's gaze sweeping over, he immediately lowered his head.

"What?"

Ma Chao didn't let him go, stepped in front of him in one step, pinched his neck and asked, "You said no?" Yes...... You say no? Besides, is there any? ”

The pro-soldier was pinched and rolled his eyes, and he was about to hold his breath, but Ma Chao suddenly let go of him.

Normally, Ma Chao is still very good to his subordinates, but he is not only selfish, but also conceited. There will always be times when he behaves irrationally and unexpectedly.

"How could it not be? Father's power shocked Liangzhou for many years, so that Xiqiang couldn't raise his head, there was no merit and hard work, even if he couldn't be crowned king, a county marquis is not too much, right? ”

Ma Chao frowned and whispered, as if he was venting, and as if he was confiding in his heart.

Ma Teng to this day, in addition to the name of General Zhengnan, there is still the title of the marquis, which is usually not low, but now that the three princes have come out, it is more than one grade lower, and it is no wonder that Ma Chao's mentality is unbalanced.

For a long time, Ma Chao restrained his mind, but his face was still cold.

"Order, speed up the march, I was going to enter Nanzheng in January."

The words were as cold as a blade, and people couldn't raise the slightest thought of refutation, so they immediately responded to the order.

In three days, 2,000 men and horses, led by Ma Chao, rushed to the end of the southern section of Baoxie Road, and then stopped here. For there is a pass that runs through it, and all those who come from the south of the slanted road are stopped. The target of the 2,000 army is not small, so naturally it is impossible to fly over.

After a short rest, Ma Chao, who had endured for a long time, left 1,500 people to garrison the camp, and led 500 horsemen to pass the battle.

"Everyone who closes it listens to Ben!"

Ma Chaoqing shot his horse forward and shouted: "This general Xiliang Ma Chao is also, invited by Liu Zhang, the beneficiary of the state pastor, to go to Yixu, please open the pass, let me wait for the companion." ”
