Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yuan Shao Ascends the Throne
After cleaning up the pro-emperor faction in Luoyang City, Xu Yu and Guo Tu were fierce, and the three of them began to force the palace, Emperor Han Xian, the little emperor, howled and cried in a place where no one was, did the Han Dynasty end here?
The trial was quite reasonable, and persuaded Yuan Shaodao: "Ming Gong, if the heroes rise up today, those surnamed Liu, Jizhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yuzhou, and the Han Emperor's Zen position, will attack each other, why does Ming Gong want to be in the fire?" "Yuan Shao was tried and the chief strategist poured a basin of water, the flame was bigger, seeing that Xu You and others were about to succeed, you, the chief strategist, came to stop it, hum, judge the south, judge the south, Lao Tzu treats you well on weekdays, how can you hit the dam at a critical time? Yuan Shao looked at the trial coldly, the trial saw the anger in the eyes of the lord, and saw the murderous intent, his heart was half cold, he fell to the ground, and said in a mournful voice: "Zhengnan is old, please allow Ming Gong to retire to the countryside." "Yuan Shao knows the ability to judge, this guy who was born as a planner, is known for his strong temperament, and fought with Gongsun Zhan, and the trial is a great deal, and now he wants to resign and retire to threaten himself, which makes Yuan Shao even more unhappy, "Due south to the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, is trying to use it for a long time, why do you want to go into hiding?" The judge swallowed his voice and said: "This heart is in turmoil, and it is difficult to do my best for Ming Gong." Yuan Shao waved his hand, and the judge withdrew from Yuan Shao's General's Mansion with his body bowed.
Emperor Han Xian sat in the court with red and swollen eyes, helplessly looking at Xu Yu and Guo Tu chattering, his heart was extremely gloomy, Guo Tu saw that the emperor was in a dream, holding a knife on the neck of the palace order, and drinking the order to write the edict of Zen. This palace guard order is not a strong order, feeling the chill of the blade, he couldn't help but tremble, and nodded in agreement. After a while, a perfect Zen edict was written, and Guo Tu was very satisfied, took the emperor's jade seal, and stamped it on the edict.
Yuan Shao knelt on the incense case to receive the order, wrote three words, and the edict was not allowed. So Yuan Shao and his subordinates discussed a good day, on the ninth day of the first month of November, to prepare for the enthronement.
When Yuan Shao ascended the throne, the first thing he thought of was who to invite to watch the ceremony, and the first one was, of course, his brother Yuan Shu; Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, please? What about the princes of the Liu family? What about Sun Quan's erection? Yuan Shao had a little headache when he thought of this, and ordered someone to call Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others to discuss.
The judge glanced at Luoyang City with nostalgia, got into the carriage, and slowly drove into the wilderness. Tian Yu's family was originally in Youzhou, Liu Ze went to Youzhou, and his family's family letter reported that everything was safe. Yuan Shao ascended the throne, this is the rhythm of death, Tian Yu remembered what Liu Ze said, secretly hated how he was blind, followed Yuan Shao, hesitated again and again, took off his military uniform, made up as a civilian, and rode away from Luoyang alone.
Xu You saw Yuan Shao and asked the spectators, and said: "Duke Ming should set up the prince first to calm people's hearts." Yuan Shao patted his thigh, hey, how did he forget this stubble, so he asked: "I have three sons, what do you think should be?" Guo Tu said: "It is better to have the eldest son." Xu You said: "This is a family matter of the Ming Gong, and you dare not say anything." Yuan Shao looked at the two anxious pioneers and said with a smile: "Xiansi has an impatient temperament, and he is not sympathetic to the soldiers, and it may be difficult to convince the public." Guo Tu said secretly: It's bad, it's bad, it's still Xu Yu's kid who is sleek. How can it be remedied? Guo Tu's mind turned sharply.
Yuan Shao continued slowly: "The second child is Xianyi, slightly mediocre; The third Xianfu is smart and brave, and I love him deeply. Feng Ji said: "Ming Gong, establishing a prince is not a trivial matter, and it should be carefully considered." No, I'm afraid the family will not be at ease. Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Retreat and discuss it with the clansmen." Next, the people who were invited to the ceremony were discussed, and the list was quickly determined. It's just that Yuan Shao's unrequited love was soon slapped in the face.
November arrived, but the people who watched the ceremony did not come, but the articles arrived, and the dogs scolded by Yuan Shao were bloody.
On the ninth day of the first day of November, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was put on the platform like a walking corpse, and looked at Yuan Shao with pride, waiting for Xu You to read out the edict of the Zen throne, and then handed the jade seal symbolizing the rights of the Son of Heaven to Yuan Shao. Emperor Han Xian suddenly felt that the jade seal was different from what he usually used, and he was slightly stunned in his heart, and he was held hostage and walked off the Zen platform.
Yuan Shao ascended the throne and practiced Zuo, became the emperor, and finally fulfilled his dream. Changed the name of the country to Wei, in response to the proverb, "those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao". Change the yuan Ruifeng and tell the world. Rewarding meritorious heroes, building temples, and establishing societies are very busy. The crown prince appreciated Yuan Shang and annoyed Yuan Tan a lot. Yuan Shao pushed Yuan Tan far away and went to Yecheng to take office.
Although Liu Ze did not receive Yuan Shao's invitation, he still knew Yuan Shao's every move clearly and clearly. After Youzhou stabilized, he waved his troops south and began the battle for Jizhou.
Cao Cao received an invitation from his friend Yuan Shao, and scolded angrily, Yuan Shao erected his son, and his death was coming. Gather heavy troops, take the tiger and leopard cavalry as the vanguard, garrison the sour jujube, and begin to attack the three counties of Yuanwu, Yangwu and Zhongmu.
Liu Bei performed in front of his subordinates at a critical time, wept bitterly, scolded Yuan Shao for being a thief, and immediately took Lu Bu as the vanguard and sent troops to Xinzheng.
Liu Biao couldn't sit still, his mind was spinning, on the one hand, he took Wen Ping as a general, and stationed heavy troops in Wancheng; On the one hand, I was thinking about whether I would play the banner of the Han Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor.
At the behest of Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao joined forces to prepare to capture the land north of the Yellow River in Luoyang.
Yuan Shao, the emperor, deserves it, three times a day, urgent reports from all over the country are coming, and on the streets of Luoyang, the galloping people are all messengers.
Yuan Tan secretly scolded his Lao Tzu every day in Yecheng, how old is Yuan Shangcai, and you will make him the prince? I have made great contributions to the east and west over the years, haven't you been blind and haven't you seen it?
Liu Ze didn't have the heart to pay attention to the anxious Yuan Shao, and the army was divided into two routes, one with Guan Yu as the main general, and one with Zhao Yun as the main general, respectively, sent troops to Hejian and Bohai.
When Yuan Tan heard that Liu Ze had sent troops, he was a little inexplicably happy in his heart, Yuan Shangxiao'er, the territory is gone, see what you, the prince, have done? People's jealousy is really strong, and they easily changed Yuan Tan's character, sitting and watching the success or failure of the second county, ignoring it.
Guan Yu attacked Hejian, and Hejian was too guarded by Pegasus to report to Yuan Tan, but he didn't expect Yuan Tan to have no soldiers to help, and he couldn't help but be sad and desperate.
Hejian County governs Lecheng, Taishou stands on the city wall but can't be happy, the northern counties of Lecheng are basically looking at the wind, although Lecheng City is tall, can it be kept?
Zhao Yun attacked the Bohai Sea, Yu Ban and Gao Shun sent troops from Leling, and attacked from the north and south, and the two armies soon surrounded Nanpi.
Kawama Taishou is a member of the trial clan, and at this time he also heard the news of the trial being banished, and he was secretly sad about the loss of this backer. Guan Yu's army surrounded Le Cheng.
The trial clan is the big clan of Wei County, Yuan Tan is sitting in Yecheng of Wei County at this time, if Le Cheng does not attack and breaks, his own people will definitely be affected by Zhulian, it is with this idea that Shen Taishou decided to defend Le Cheng.
Guan Yu originally wanted to recruit the Hejian Taishou, but he was scolded by the trial Taishou, so he had no choice but to prepare to attack the city.
Outside the city of Lecheng, a series of stone-throwing trucks stood tall, and the siege vehicles slowly leaned towards the city wall. Hundreds of catapults began to move, and huge boulders rose up in the air and pounced on the city, smashing the guards and howling wolves and making a mess. When the siege vehicle approached the city, the soldier protruded, threw fire oil at the car, ignited the rocket, and the siege vehicle was most afraid of the fire, many siege vehicles were destroyed by the fire, and the soldiers on the car had to jump down and run towards the formation. There are still many people who were shot by stray arrows and fell under Lecheng City.
Nanpi's Taishou had an active brain, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately opened the city and surrendered, but Zhao Yun didn't take much effort to take Bohai County. Hearing that it was difficult for Lecheng, Gao Shun volunteered and led the camp to help the battle.
Guan Yu didn't attack the city for five or six days, and he felt a little angry in his heart, but he admired this trial. Lecheng and Nanpi are more than 100 miles apart, Gao Shun quickly whipped his horse, and he arrived outside Lecheng City in half a day to see Guan Yu.
Yuan Shao's head was big, and the territory around Luoyang was lost, so he had no choice but to shrink his troops and stick to various dangerous places. Poor Emperor Yuan, in less than a month, became gray-haired, and his face was covered with mountains and rivers.
Liu Ze felt that Yuan Shao, the puppet emperor, might have reigned longer than his descendant Yuan Shikai. Yuan Datou dreamed of being an emperor for 83 days, and was so frightened by the National Defense Movement that he voluntarily stepped down, and died of illness the following year. However, is Yuan Benchu's fate better than Yuan Shikai, or is it inferior to Yuan Shikai?
The fall of Lecheng marked that Hejian County was also in the hands of Liu Ze, so that Youzhou and Qingzhou were connected, and the entire Bohai Rim region was under the iron hooves of the Jizhou army. Liu Ze decided to put the political center in Jixian County, and the later Beijing City was developed on the territory of Jixian County.
The current scale of Jixian County is far inferior to that of Xiangping City. Since it has been decided to take Jixian County as the center, it is inevitable to expand Jixian County, Liu Ze feels that it is necessary to plan well. It's just that in this troubled era, it is really difficult to find a qualified architectural designer, Liu Ze asked all over the group, and he shook his head and said he didn't know. Guo Jia said: "Ming Gong, I recommend one, maybe it's appropriate?" Liu Ze smiled: "Recommended by filial piety, how can there be a mistake." Guo Jia said: "Mr. Huang, you are proficient in the art of ingenuity. Ming Gong said the request, and Huang Gong should not disgrace his mission. Liu Ze said: "Okay, I ordered someone to invite Huang Gong to come to Jixian County." ”
Liu Biao confided a little in front of the group, which immediately caused a big discussion in Xiangyang City. Jingzhou celebrities gathered, all grew up reading Confucius and Mencius, the idea of loyalty and patriotism can be said to be deep into the bone marrow, Yuan Shao abolished the Han Emperor and stood on his own (Zen was only a superficial article), and was scolded by the world's scholars, Liu Biao as a member of the Han family, did not think of revenge, but thought about the emperor addicted, the original respect in my heart, a little tasteless. The five major families in Jingzhou all considered their own families, thinking about whether Liu Biao would be the emperor or whether it would be good or bad, and they would have to weigh it carefully. Yuan Shao ousted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, sealed a Shanyang duke, ate 10,000 households, and raised them. If Liu Biao sent troops to Luoyang, greeted Emperor Han Xian, and asked him to return to the country, Emperor Han Xian of course would not dare to sit on the dragon chair again.
Liu Bei's soldiers and horses stopped at the Yuyuan Pass, and Liu Bei waved his troops every day in order to make a good gesture. Chen Gong said that Lu Budao: "Liu Xuande's army is exhausted, the county is empty, and only Wen Chou is guarded by a horse, why don't the generals wave the army to the county and occupy Yuzhou alone"? Lu Bu was overjoyed, and used the excuse to let his troops rest for three days, and then led his troops south overnight and rushed to Qian County.
Liu Bei got the news that Lu Bu had withdrawn from the army for no reason, and he hesitated, Jian Yong and Sun Qian couldn't say anything, Liu Bei thought hard for two days, and then said with annoyance: "Lu Feng should go to Qian County first, and want to seize Yuzhou." ”
