The Battle of Puyang ended with Lu Bu being captured and beheaded.

In January 197, Guan Yan was on the table, playing the meritorious deeds of the generals, and Zhou Yu was the general of Zhengdong, and the Marquis of Shiting was sealed; Zhao Yun is the general of Huwei and the marquis of Huating; Chen Gong is engaged in Zhonglang, and the rest of the meritorious generals have their own rewards. In addition, Guan Yan played Cao Cao as the general of the chariot cavalry, leading Yanzhou Mu, in order to calm his heart, according to Jia Xu's plan, Hebei should be pacified first, not to mention that the matter of Guan Zhao's captivity has also been ascertained, it is Yuan Tan and Liu Bei conspired to do,

As the saying goes, "the sin is not as good as the parents, and the disaster is not as good as the wife and children", the two sides fight, or plot or fight, each according to their ability; However, by capturing his young son to coerce and persecution, this kind of behavior is despised by the people of the world, so Guan Yan immediately exposed the crimes of the two in the name of the court and announced it to the world; Among them, Yuan Tan, who directly sent someone to kidnap the ticket, was positioned as the first crime, and the court proclamation directly set the tenth day of the first month of March, and ordered the great Sima Guan Yan to lead the troops to crusade against Yuan Tan, and issued another holy decree, ordering Youzhou Mugong Sun Zhan, Qingzhou Mutian Kai, and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, and sent troops to attack him.

Everyone understands all this, what is the imperial decree, Guan Yan is not alone in making trouble, although the Han Dynasty has declined, but the appeal of the Han Dynasty, which has ruled China for hundreds of years, is still there. Under Guan Yan's deliberate operation, Yuan Tan has fallen behind in both ethics and righteousness.

Guan Yan wrote the date of the crusade in the edict, which was also to let Yuan Tan have no time to look west, so that the war-torn Jizhou could have a few months of respite.

At this time, Diao Chan also gave birth to a baby girl for Guan Yan, Guan Yan was overjoyed, and in violation of the mainstream customs of the society at that time, he put a celebration banquet of the same specifications as Guan Zhao for the baby girl, which made Diao Chan, who was worried in his heart, very happy.

When Zheng Xuan came to Luoyang to preach after many years, he naturally had to take good care of Guan Yan, who was a famous disciple of the deceased. At the "Washing Three" ceremony, Guan Yan begged Zheng Xuan to give him a name, and Zheng Xuan said: "Yan Gui, more than half of Yan, and half of it is a decoration, the princes are unjust, and the messenger levies it, and insists on thinking that it is a Ruijie!" Therefore, take a "瑑" word from it and call it a pipe.

This sentence is Zheng Xuan's deliberate interpretation of Cai Yan's name, with Cai Yan deriving the name of Guan Yao, Cai Yong, who is also one of the three gentlemen in the world, can naturally understand the meaning.

It seemed that everything was going well, but the news of Bohai shocked the world.

Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, took the jade seal of the country and ascended the throne in the Bohai Sea, with the country name "Xingshi".

Like Wang Fen and the new emperor back then, the first thing was to announce to the world that he had counted the malpractices of the old dynasty, of course, more spearheads were pointed at Guan Yan.

Although the routine is the same as when Wang Fen established the Marquis of Hefei as the emperor, the influence is completely different.

First, the Marquis of Hefei was just one of the clan relatives of the Han family, whether in the eyes of the scholars or the common people, he was just an ordinary royal family, the Han Dynasty was founded for hundreds of years, and the royal family surnamed Liu had not 10,000 but 8,000, and the identity of the Marquis of Hefei was not surprising; And Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, is different, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, leaving only two princes, one is Liu Wei, the other is Liu Xie, from the pure blood and status, Liu Xie is the closest person to the emperor in the world today.

Second, Liu Xie held the jade seal of the country, which is the same as the tiger talisman of the army, in addition to the appointment of the emperor, the commander of the army also needs to have the tiger talisman given by the emperor, and the orthodoxy of the emperor, in addition to the inheritance of the previous emperor, also needs such a token representing orthodoxy to prove.

As soon as the Bohai proclamation came out, the attitudes of the forces on all sides changed significantly. The first is that Gongsun Zhan, who tried to poison Zhao Yun in vain to get rid of future troubles, but dozens of guards who went to chase and kill were all killed in the wilderness. Gongsun Zhan also thought that Zhao Yun was not deeply poisoned and escaped by him. But as soon as the news of Zhao Yunfeng's title as the general of Huwei came out, Gongsun Chan was furious, and he had to send troops because of the order of the imperial court, but now that there is the court of the Bohai Sea to fight against it, Gongsun Chan is naturally happy to succeed, and immediately transferred the soldiers and horses of the river from the southern line to the western front, and secretly had more contact with Yuan Tan, since Yuan Shao was killed and killed for only a year, one of the culprits of the year, Gongsun Zhan, formed a private alliance with Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan.

And Qingzhou Mutian Kai, who was already a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, naturally looked forward to Gongsun Zhan, and Guan Yan was once the governor of Tian Kai's account, the last petty official of the year, and now he has reached the power of the sky, which makes Tian Kai feel a little uncomfortable, he can be an enemy with him, and he will never be a friend with him!

The original perfect plan was disrupted by this sudden event, Guan Yan urgently summoned everyone in the mansion to discuss this, and just as everyone gathered in the study and was preparing to discuss the matter, the palace suddenly sent someone to summon Guan Yan.

Since the accession of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yan has never been summoned alone, and now he is summoned, it must be because of Liu Xie's matter, and Guan Yan hurried to the palace after giving an explanation.

Anfu Hall is the place where the emperor rests. Eight years ago, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty summoned Guan Yan here and appointed him as one of the eight school masters. Since the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Wei has lived in a simple house, except for the appearance of the court, he does not ask about other affairs.

After eight years, when he re-entered the Anfu Palace, things were not people, which made Guan Yan quite emotional.

"Minister Guan Yan, long live my emperor!"

Liu Wei's eyes were blank, he was sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, hearing Guan Yan's voice, he hurriedly got up and raised his hand: "Da Sima, please get up quickly!" ”

"Come on, sit down for Da Sima!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two sat down, and Guan Yan asked respectfully: "Your Majesty is in a hurry to recruit ministers, I don't know what to order?" ”

"Hey~~~" Liu Wei sighed, frowned and said: "The matter of Bohai, Da Sima has already heard about it!" ”

What Liu Wei pointed out was naturally Liu Xie's enthronement in Bohai, Guan Yan nodded: "The minister already knows!" ”

"My brother and I were originally siblings, and we went through hardships together, how would I know that he would do such a rebellious thing!" Liu Bian's heartache.

Guan Yan knew this matter that Liu Xie fled because he was afraid of being implicated in the affairs of Yuan Kui and Wang Yun, but stealing the jade seal of the country was indeed something Guan Yan did not expect. The eunuchs in this palace are also careless, although they usually don't use the jade seal, but they won't be lost for a year and not be discovered!

Guan Yan didn't know how to comfort Liu Wei in this matter, so he could only stand aside and wait for the following.

After a while, Liu Wei raised his eyes and looked at Guan Yan: "Now that the matter has come to this, how does Da Sima want to deal with it?" ”

"Without him! Attack it! Guan Yan replied very simply.

When Liu Wei heard this, he thought for a moment, and suddenly made up his mind and said: "The evil is chaotic, the emperor is sluggish, and I want to drive the expedition in person, what do you think?" ”
