This was a result that many people did not expect, even Liu Bei and the others, who had already expected it, couldn't help but be shocked after learning the exact news that Lu Bu was canonized as the king of Jin.

The princes from all walks of life, who were about to move, seemed extraordinarily quiet at this time, as if someone had issued a unified order.

Zhang Lu's army, which originally marched into Zitong, withdrew to Xiameng Pass, and the Liangzhou army, which was fighting hard and preparing to take revenge on Zhang Lu, also seemed unusually calm at this time, and even mobilized the troops in the Wuguan and Tianshui areas along the Tongguan and Hangu Passes.

Sun Quan was busy attacking Jiaozhi, Nanyue and other coastal counties, the so-called mountain high emperor Yuan, but not much affected, but his naval troops stationed along the Yangtze River were still waiting for him, Zhou Yu, Ling Tong, Lü Meng and other generals gathered in Jiujiang, Chaisang, the atmosphere was very different from usual.

Liu Bei, who was invited to prepare to lead troops into Sichuan, was also in a dilemma at this time, Lu Bu would not be crowned king sooner or later, and he would be crowned king when he sent troops to Xichuan, didn't this give him a problem?

Lu Bu is the king, which will cause the world to shake, and who can tolerate a person not surnamed Liu to suppress them. At this time, once someone ascends to the top and shouts, it will inevitably cause princes from all over the country to rush to take refuge, even if it is not for the word loyalty, at least they have to fight to the death for the power in their hands.

At that time, how could Liu Bei, who was a member of the royal family, stay out of the matter, and say that he would be the vanguard of the crusade against Lu Bu and be the leader of the command.

According to the estimation of Liu Bei and others, Lu Bu's biggest time to become king is likely to be in the second half of next year, because at that time, the momentum is almost created, and the national strength that seems empty due to the war will gradually rise, and the prestige among the people will be infinitely amplified. At that time, Lu Bu was already able to deal with it calmly.

And the current is by no means the best time, just after the war, the autumn floods have overwhelmed the victims everywhere, and the complaints against the imperial court are just not shown, and they are alive because Lu Bu has accumulated a lot of kindness in the past, so there is no large-scale riot.

Lu Bu was honest as his marquis prime minister at this time, but he dared to be the king without knowing whether he was alive or dead! This is undoubtedly a great rebellion in the hearts of the people and officials who have already formed an inertia in the five hundred years of the Han Dynasty. said that it was canonized by the holy decree, and if it was not said that the holy decree was in Lu Bu's hands, even if it was really canonized by the emperor, it must be a last resort. Just ask who dares to be so unfilial and disobedient to the basic national policy set by Gaozu, just a sentence with a different surname to seal the king and the world to discuss it can make countless people throw their heads and spill their blood and escort Lu Bu to the guillotine.

Liu Bei originally planned to take advantage of the unstable internal affairs of the state and the opportunity to take care of it in one fell swoop, so as to take the vast land of Yizhou and Jingzhou, and then unite with the Jiangdong Sun family, and still be alive with Lu Bu and Zhou Xuan in the north, otherwise he would be trapped in this half of Jingzhou, and sooner or later he would be trampled by Lu Bu's iron cavalry.

Lu Bu's sudden ascension to the throne interrupted Liu Bei's strategy planned in advance, so he urgently summoned the public to discuss urgently. Now that the army has been mobilized, the grain, grass, soldiers and horses are all ready, and there has been an agreement with Liu Jiyu, wouldn't it be good to be a person who has no faith in his word.

During the banquet, Liu Bei asked everyone, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei change the original marching plan, since Lu Bu is the king, he must crusade against him now, this is a righteous move, it is a righteous thing, and it will benefit and do no harm to raise troops to the north.

First of all, Lu Bu's elite army has been transferred to Yanzhou and Yangzhou, and although they won a great victory in the battle with Cao Cao, they have suffered a lot of damage, and the distance is far away, so they have no time to care about the distant land of Jingzhou. Wang Ling and Wang Min, who stayed in Jingzhou, were only second-rate generals in the Bingzhou army, compared to the famous eight gods under Lu Bu's account: Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Yan Liang, Zhang Jaw, Guo Yan, Zhao Zhao and others, it can be regarded as a thousand miles behind, even compared to Wei Yue, Wei Xu, Ding Xu and others who are less famous.

Secondly, the Jiangdong Sun clan had already reached an agreement with Liu Bei when Lü Bu attacked Shouchun, and once Cao Cao was defeated, Sun Liu would reach an alliance to resist the strong enemy in the north. In order to show sincerity, Jiangdong even successfully married Liu Bei, and married Sun Xiaomei, who was only twenty-eight years old, to Liu Bei, who had passed the age of confusion. Sun Xiaomei, as Sun Quan's sister, can be regarded as the serious concubine of the Sun family, and her identity can also be regarded as noble. The reason why Sun Quan is so generous is because Shouchun and Jiangdong are both under the rule of Yangzhou, only separated by a river, and Shouchun is under it, how can Lu Bu let go of the beautiful land of Jiangdong! Therefore, Sun Quan was anxious to win over Liu Bei, hoping that he would respond from the side and fight against the strong enemy in the north.

Moreover, Lu Bu said that the king, the people and the gods were angry, and Liu Bei, as a relative of the Han family, had the unshirkable responsibility to raise troops for the Northern Expedition, and he would definitely get loyal and righteous people to meet. As for whether the Northern Expedition can make contributions, it is not actually the most important thing.

Originally, Liu Bei hoped that Guan Yu would sit in the rear and defend the land of Jingzhou, but now someone needs to lead the troops to the Northern Expedition to defeat the traitor Lu Bu, so he has to re-plan the previous arrangement.

Although the defenders of Fancheng and Xinye are few, they are not easy to capture, and across the Xiangjiang River, there are Cai Mao's elite naval army, and if you want to cross the river, you must first defeat Cai Mao's naval army on the river. It is said that Cai Mao's naval warships have been improved by Lu Bu to greatly enhance their offensive firepower, and it is said that each ship is loaded with several god-breaking crossbows, and the power of one arrow is that no ship can resist. The defenders of Xiangyang fought briefly with Lu Bu's defenders several times, losing several large ships, so they naturally knew the power of the god-breaking crossbow.

Chen Gong believes that since it is destined to be difficult to make contributions to the Northern Expedition, there is no need to send a powerful general here, you must know that with Guan Yu's character, he will not be willing to be lonely.

Therefore, Liu Bei only left Huang Zhong, Gao Gan, Meng Da, Liao Hua and others to assist the military advisor Zhuge Liang in the Northern Expedition and garrisoned the base camp Nanjun. He himself led the army into Sichuan as promised, which was a matter of life and death, and it was by no means a matter of face that could be abolished.

After Zhuge Liang received the order, he only let Liao Hua as the vanguard, under the banner of fighting the traitors, and led thousands of soldiers and horses to Fancheng. and instructed him to only bluff and test the reaction of the defenders of Fancheng first.

Liao Hua came to the city of Fancheng, along the way without the slightest hindrance, when he arrived at the city, he saw that the head of the city was full of armor, and he had already prepared to defend the city, and it seemed that he did not want to annihilate this small group of enemy troops under the city.

However, not only Fancheng, but also Xinye, as well as the cities of other states and counties, the guards in the city were all closed, digging deep trenches, so that the pioneers sent by Zhuge Liang to investigate the details found nothing. Zhou Yu in the Jiujiang area also encountered the same encounter, it seems that the army of Lu Bu, who was fierce in the past, suddenly changed his temper and became cautious.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "It seems that the problem encountered by Lu Bu is more serious than we imagined, but it is a pity that the main prince's troops are too small, otherwise he will be able to recapture the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and even Luoyang." ”

In the days that followed, the princes from all over the country took turns to fight, and they all raised troops to denounce Lü Bu.

But everywhere there was thunder and rain, even if Lu Bu's army was confined in the city, he still didn't dare to raise troops to attack the city easily.

In this way, Lu Bu's previous strategic offensive strategy was transformed into strategic defense, just because the economy of the government in the DPRK was on the verge of collapse. Due to the excessive transfer of manpower in the war, production in various places has plummeted, prices have soared in various places, and the five-baht system has almost become unsustainable. Bartering has become the norm, and many people simply refuse to accept five baht, and the savings they have accumulated for many years have become worthless at this moment. Hundreds of people are almost bankrupt, and an internal catastrophe is sweeping across the Central Plains.
