Chapter 321: A New King is Established
After retiring the slaves, Lu Bu asked Wang Yun what he should do with this situation.
Wang Yun had already thought deeply about this question along the way, and only listened to his unhurried body Lu Bu gently explain his opinion.
Wang Yun thought that although Yuan Shu called the emperor caused a certain blow to the Han family, but in the end it would end in failure, he thought that Yuan Shu did not have the merit of the mang, the goodness of the fine, and rampant in the times, arrogant self-esteem, solid righteousness of the husband, people and ghosts of the same disease. Although they are thrifty and frugal, they will still perish...... Of course, Wang Yun didn't care about Yuan Shu's success or failure, what he cared about was the impact of Yuan Shu's proclamation of the emperor on Lu Bu! He thinks that Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor at this time is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu's act of becoming emperor is tantamount to roasting himself on the fire, and Lu Bu just took advantage of this to use the name of offering the emperor to order the princes of the world to punish this national thief! In this case, they will not openly violate the edict of the emperor, so that they can kill two birds with one stone, not only to shift the attention of Liu Zhang, Cao Cao and even Yuan Shao to Yuan Shu, so as to reduce the pressure on Lü Bu and gain time for Lü Bu to accumulate strength, and can use the princes and Yuan Shu to attack each other and consume their strength.
Lu Bu thought it was true, and the next day he "invited" the emperor to issue an edict and ordered Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shaoxing to crusade against Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shao of Yecheng learned that his younger brother was called the emperor after founding the country, he just snorted disdainfully, like Wang Yun, he was not optimistic about the future of Yuan Shu, although he himself was also very eager to try the taste of the dragon chair, but he knew that it was not a little too hasty to call the emperor self-reliance, the reputation of the Han family is especially good, and Liu Zhang of Chang'an is even more prosperous, in this case, calling the emperor self-reliance is equivalent to being the enemy of the whole world, what is the difference between this and seeking his own death?
The Yuan family has reached a peak of fame, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to go further if you want to go further, just like before this, although he and Yuan Shu each dominate one side, have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and are strong and prestigious, but when the world mentions the two brothers, they always start with the fourth world and the third duke, which obviously shows that the two brothers who dominate one side are still just a pair of lucky people born with a golden key in the eyes of the world, and have achieved a career by relying on their ancestors......
Yuan Shao didn't know what his younger brother thought, he only knew that he didn't want to always wear a hat from the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth world, on his head, although this big hat had always helped him a lot, and he was respected by many people; He doesn't want the world to associate his talents, efforts and achievements with Yuan, he hopes that the world will mention Yuan Shao, and then think that it is he who has made Yuan's glory, not the other way around, when mentioning the wealthy Yuan, only to remember that there is such a person as him! In fact, all this is due to his inferiority, yes, it is inferiority! The surname Yuan is definitely a proud thing for him, and perhaps it is also his greatest capital and help, why does he feel inferior, and even regard it as a burden that he can't breathe? It's just because his name of "Yuan's eldest son" is missing one of the most critical words - 嫡! His father's name has always been his proudest thing, but unfortunately his mother is a slave who doesn't even have a name, and she was only made a concubine because of his birth after a storm. In this era, the identity of a concubine is not much different from that of a slave, and the upper class even has the habit of giving concubines to each other. Whenever he saw the smiles of others complimenting Yuan and himself in front of him, he would always inexplicably think that those people were laughing at him, and at this time he only had a deep sense of shame and boundless anger in his heart. Similarly, this is also the reason why he has always had a bad relationship with Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu always attacks him with his mother before and after others, constantly reminding the whole world that his mother is just a concubine. Yuan Shao doesn't remember how many times he hated to strangle Yuan Shu with his own hands since he was a child, but he won't show it again, he always reminds himself that he must work hard, he must make an earth-shattering career, and make Yuan proud of him from now on! It has always been this belief that has supported him and inspired him to make unremitting efforts to have the great achievement of becoming one of the best overlords in the world. Although he still bears the name of the Yuan family, he has left behind the once invincible and high-ranking Yuan Shu, only him, only he Yuan Shao is the light of the Yuan family! However, after learning the news that Yuan Shu was called the emperor, those short-sighted people of the Yuan family have begun to move, but they turned to regard Yuan Shu as the hero of the Yuan family, and some people even secretly packed up their bags and left Hebei and went to Huainan to join Yuan Shu, is the emperor's false name really so important? Even for the sake of this false name, it is likely to bring the Yuan clan of Nuoda into a place of no return?
At this time, a thought in Yuan Shao's heart that had been extinguished for several years couldn't help but come to mind again, perhaps, only by taking this step could he and Yuan Shu win the battle for the Yuan clan!
Back then, after the dissolution of the Dong Alliance, Yuan Shao had the idea of setting up a new emperor to fight against Dong Zhuo, and for this reason, he also found a very suitable candidate for himself, that is, Liu Yu, who was the pastor of Youzhou at the time.
Liu Yu, after King Gong of the East China Sea, a relative of the Han family, was loyal to the Han family, governed generously and benevolently, and was loved by the people. When Yuan Shao proposed to serve him as the emperor, he was unwilling to betray the Han Emperor and be a sinner of the Liu family through the ages, and he rejected Yuan Shao several times, and even threatened to leave the desert. Yuan Shao saw that Liu Yuning refused to obey, so he had to give up. Later, when Liu Yu was attacked by Gongsun Zhan, he sent someone willing to ask Yuan Shao to send troops to relieve the danger, but Yuan Shao was angry that Liu Yu disobeyed him, and was always unwilling to send troops to help, and sat back and watched his army defeat and be killed.
After Liu Yu's death, Yuan Shao also gave up his plan to set up a new emperor. But now, in order to win over the Yuan clan, Yuan Shao couldn't help but rise up with the intention of setting up a new emperor to "fight" with Yuan Shu. In this case, why didn't Yuan Shao follow Yuan Shu's example and set himself up as emperor? Why bother? The Yuan family has already produced an emperor, and if he establishes himself as the emperor again, wouldn't that be a joke for the whole world to see the Yuan family? What's more, Yuan Shaoping's body looks down on Yuan Shu the most, if you want him to follow Yuan Shu's ass to be "Yuan Shu's second", it is better to kill him directly. And as I said earlier, he is not optimistic about the future of Yuan Shu's self-reliance as emperor, since he knows that self-reliance is not feasible, then what other way can push his prestige to another peak, a peak that is enough to compete with Yuan Shu? Yuan Shao thought of another "clever trick", as long as he set up a puppet in the same situation as Luoyang as the new emperor, so that he would not have to be burdened by the emperor's false name, but he would act as an emperor, wouldn't it be wonderful?
But Liu Yu has been dead for four years, who will he go to be this puppet? The Han family has been established for more than 400 years, and the descendants of the clan have multiplied almost every inch of land in the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao quickly found one, and in his opinion, this person was more suitable to be this puppet than Liu Yu back then, because Liu Yu was a Youzhou pastor back then, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, once he was established as the emperor, Yuan Shao was really worried that he would not be able to control him. But this one didn't have so many worries, because he settled in Yecheng almost alone.
This person is none other than Liu Biao!
Liu Biao, after Liu Yu, King of Lugong, is rare and famous, and seven friends such as Zhang Yin are collectively known as Bajun. Originally, Liu Biao would serve as the pastor of Jingzhou after Wang Rui was killed by Sun Jian. But Liu Zhang, the little butterfly, flapped his wings, and as a result, Wang Rui was not only not killed by Sun Jian, but counterattacked Sun Jian and killed the Jiangdong tiger in one fell swoop. When the princes discussed Dong, Liu Biao expected that Dong Zhuo would be difficult to achieve a big thing, so he secretly walked out of Luoyang, and after a few years of travel, he arrived in Hebei and settled in Yecheng. Liu Biao's background is not inferior to Liu Yu, and Liu Biao, who is alone, has no power or power, and can only obey him after ascending the throne......
The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, so he summoned Tian Feng, Xu You, Guo Tu, Zhang He, Chun Yuqiong and other civil and military officials to discuss with his second son Yuan Shang.
