Tian Feng and Zhang He fiercely opposed it after hearing this, not only that, but the two were also willing to ask Yuan Shao to issue a notice to publicly sever relations with Yuan Shu's rebellious ministers and thieves, otherwise it would inevitably bring an unimaginable catastrophe to Hebei and the Yuan family!

Yuan Shao, who was full of interest, was poured a basin of cold water on the head of these two people who had always disliked him, and he was naturally very dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Diametrically opposed to Tian Feng and Zhang He's attitudes are Xu You and Yuan Shang! As early as the first year of Zhongping, that is, in 184 AD, Xu You conspired with Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, and Zhou Jing of Peiguo to abolish Emperor Ling of Han, but unfortunately failed. At this time, he heard that Yuan Shao wanted to set up a new emperor, and immediately agreed, and elaborated on many benefits, such as coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes or something, he understood that once a new emperor was established, Yuan Shao's status would naturally rise, so they would naturally be courtiers, and it would not be difficult to be a founding hero in the future, and it would not be difficult to be a marquis and a prince, in this case, why not? Yuan Shang's idea is simpler, although he is the second son, but he is Yuan Shao's most beloved son, and he is the one who will inherit the foundation of Hebei in the future.

Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong can become Yuan Shao's henchmen, so they are naturally clear about Yuan Shao's temperament, don't look at the usual Yuan Shao always put on a posture of humble acceptance, in fact, they all know very well that Yuan Shao is stubborn and self-serving, once he makes up his mind, no one can make him change his mind. At this time, Yuan Shao summoned them to discuss, but in fact, he gave an ultimatum, hoping that they would express their support in order to create a situation where everyone expected to return, so that he could satisfy his inner vanity. Especially after the two of them expressed their attitudes from Tian Feng, Zhang He, Xu You, and Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao's expressions of stark acquaintance immediately understood how he should choose.

Yuan Shao, who received the majority of support, immediately drank Tian Feng and Zhang He, and personally led everyone out of the house to greet a nobleman, and these people knew that Yuan Shao had sent someone to invite Liu Biao when he summoned them.

Liu Biao has been to Yuan Shao's mansion several times, and Yuan Shao has done his best to show his respect for the Han family every time, but this time the courtesy is so high that Liu Biao is a little flattered. I saw Yuan Shao leading the civil and military generals of the Yuan Group to descend to greet them, and when they saw Liu Biao's carriage and horses approaching, everyone was even more shocked to the ground under the leadership of Yuan Shao, and they couldn't afford it for a long time.

Liu Biao couldn't help but be frightened, he didn't dare to say anything in the carriage, and wanted to get off the car to avoid everyone's courtesy, but Yuan Shao saw this and personally stepped forward to help Liu Biao get out of the car......

Liu Biao, who was shocked and suspicious, was welcomed to the mansion, and then he knew that Yuan Shao wanted to make him emperor.

Liu Biao was able to become one of the eight jun when he was young, naturally he was not a stupid person, after a short period of consternation, he quickly understood Yuan Shao's intentions, maybe he was not necessarily loyal to the Han family, but he understood that once he sat in this position, he was firmly tied to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has been prosperous for a long time, it is easy to say, but once Yuan Shao has three long and two short, he will not fall well, and he will inevitably die in the end. If he really wants to be a veritable emperor, he is willing to gamble, but he can only be a nominal emperor without a soldier in his hands, he is not willing to gamble with his life and reputation for the false name of a puppet emperor, he would rather be a rich man and live the second half of his life safely and richly, so he rejected Yuan Shao with righteousness.

This move immediately angered Yuan Shao, okay, Liu Yu has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he refuses me, I have nothing to do with him, but you Liu Biao is just a lonely person, and you dare to disobey me, who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the land of Sizhou, is simply a dog! Don't you know that I, Yuan Shao, only need to blink an eye to make you ruined?

Yuan Shao, who was embarrassed and angry, slapped the table at that time, threatening Liu Biao's three-legged toad that was not easy to find, and the two-legged Han Zong clan didn't grab a handful? If Liu Biao doesn't agree, he has hundreds of ways to make Liu Biao disappear from this world without a trace, and then find another descendant of the Han clan and make him the emperor. Hmph, don't think that without you Butcher Zhang, I can't eat pork anymore?

Liu Biao recognized the reality at this time, and didn't agree, as Yuan Shao said, it would be easy for Yuan Shao to let him disappear in this world, agree, although he took a certain risk, but at least he is safe now, and he can enjoy the dignity of the emperor! The lesser of two evils, Liu Biao, who wanted to live, had to agree to Yuan Shao, and everyone was happy for a while, well, at least on the surface!

Yuan Shao then ordered people to prepare for the enthronement.

Chang'an, just learned from Zhang Zhongjing that Cai Yan and Zhen Mi were both pregnant, and Liu Zhang, who couldn't help but be overjoyed, received the news that Yuan Shu had officially ascended the throne and became emperor in Shouchun. He had already learned from the secret report of the spies lurking in Shouchun that Yuan Shu was plotting to build a country, so he was not surprised, and what surprised him a little was that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor in Shouchun in 197 AD in history, and now it is almost a year late! At one time, Liu Zhang thought that it was because of the various chain reactions caused by his arrival that Yuan Shu dispelled the idea of becoming the emperor, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shu still came to this point in the end, Liu Zhang couldn't help but secretly think: "In history, Yuan Shu has been the emperor of the Zhong family for three years, and I don't know how many years Yuan Shu, who was hastily called emperor in this time and space!" "With Liu Zhang's second and third field regiments looking around, Yuan Shu's dream of being the emperor should be even shorter, but Yuan Shu was a year late before becoming the emperor, which is equivalent to giving him one more year to stabilize his rule and accumulate strength, it should be said that Yuan Shu's strength at this time should be stronger than in history, so I really can't say how long he can last!

Unlike Liu Zhang, who sat firmly in Diaoyutai, Xun Yu and others thought that the matter was very important, and they had come to see Liu Zhang, and they were waiting outside the palace at the moment.

In the front hall, Xun Yu bowed down and said: "Qi Yu Wangye, Yuan Shu as a Han minister, actually openly robbed the national jade seal, Yu Shouchun set himself up as the emperor, the Zhong clan, and the false seal of a hundred officials, this sincerity is unforgivable, the prince is a Han noble, and he should be a righteous teacher at this time when the Han is in danger, punish this national thief, and correct my Han Dynasty!" ”

Xu Huang, Xun You and others also expressed their opinions, without exception, asking Liu Zhang to send troops to attack Yuan Shu.

Liu Zhang looked at everyone with a smile, nodded and said: "Everyone understands the intention of the Qing family, Yuan Shu is bold enough to do this thing that is not tolerated, and he is alone as a descendant of the Liu family, how can he sit idly by, Gu has already ordered Huang Zhong and Lu Su to rectify the soldiers and horses, and are ready to crusade against Yuan Shu at any time...... However, although the second and third field armies have many generals and generals, they have their own elbows, and there are not many soldiers and horses available for the thief, and Yuan Shu has been tyrannical and reckless under his rule since he won Huainan, and now the number of troops has reached more than 200,000, I am afraid that the troops that the second and third field corps can deploy at this time are not enough to defeat this thief in one fell swoop! ”

Xi Zhicai got up and said: "Lord Qiqi, Yuan Shu brazenly claimed that the emperor was self-reliant, and he had put himself in the place where all the rebels had left, and now is the perfect time for our army to capture Yuzhang and Huainan." Now that Yuan Shao has died down in Bingzhou, my First Field Army, the Fourth Field Army and the Chang'an Weiwu Division have been transferred back, and the ministers thought that they could send a unit to Yiyang, Xin'an, and Huangchi to threaten Hangu Pass, so that Lu Bu did not dare to act rashly, so as to reduce the pressure on the Second Field Army, and Huang Zhong could also calmly transfer troops from the Wuyin line into Runan, Yuzhou, and cut off Yuanshu's retreat. At the same time, the Third Field Corps' crusade against Shanyue has reaped miraculous results, and now the three counties of Jiangnan Shanyue have been greatly contained, and only a small number of elite troops can be stationed in each key pass to ensure the stability of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and from the perspective of the strength of the Third Field Corps, at least 100,000 to 150,000 people can be transferred to attack Shouchun. ”

Zhang Fei said: "Strengthening the garrisons in Yiyang and other places can threaten Lu Bu, but Cao Cao in Xu County still threatens Nanyang, how can this be solved?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Cao Cao has great ambitions, and now he is probably planning to bite off a piece of fat from Yuan Shu, where is the spare strength to invade our country?" What's more, Cao Cao has a very high reputation, and often regards himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, if he attacks our army when he attacks the traitor Yuan Shu, his reputation for painstaking management will be ruined, and it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses for him, so I don't think Cao Cao will take the initiative to seek the side of our army at this time, at least not before defeating Yuan Shu! ”

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "I think that Sanfu and Xiliang are becoming more and more stable, and the military supervision departments of the two places can already be responsible for the daily security of the territory under their jurisdiction, and Gu has decided to transfer all the First Field Corps to Nanyang, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Rendao: "Lord Qiqi, if the first field corps is all transferred to Nanyang, and once there is something in the state, only the fourth field corps and the Chang'an garrison can be deployed, although the total strength of the two armies is 250,000 people, but it is necessary to defend Chang'an, but also to guard against Lu Bu, but also to garrison Sanfu and Xiliang, and guard against the Huns, the strength may be insufficient!" ”

Man Chong also said with some worries: "Lord, the minister also has the same worries, although Sanfu and Liangzhou have been stabilized, it is not a problem for the troops of the supervising army to maintain daily order, but as Lord Zhang said, once there is something in the state, after the main force of the Fourth Field Army and the Chang'an Garrison Division leaves, the Huns will take this opportunity to plunder south, and there will be endless disasters!" ”

Mao Jue said: "If the first and second field corps are stationed in Nanyang together, they still need to solve the problem of subordination!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "This question is very easy, Gongming, I want to bother you to go to Nanyang and command the battle against Yuan Shu with full authority, are you willing?" ”

Xu Huang got up and bowed: "As a minister of Shu, the minister should do his best for the prince, please give the prince an order!" ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Gongming has the talent of Yafu, and Gongming is in person, so why worry about Yuan Shu!" ”

Xu Huang thanked him again and again.

Xu Huang, as one of the first people to follow Liu Zhang, is the first of all generals in Shu regardless of fame and qualifications, unless Liu Zhang personally recruits, Xu Huang is definitely the best, or even the only suitable candidate.

Solved this problem, Liu Zhang was worried about Zhang Ren and Manzhong, and he understood that Zhang Ren and Manzhong's worries were not unreasonable, once Liangzhou and Sanfu were empty, with the greedy character of the Huns, they would inevitably invade blatantly......

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Zhang said: "There are 50,000 soldiers in the recruit training camp who have undergone rigorous training and can already be organized into an army, so they will be organized into four temporary divisions and stationed in Liangzhou and Sanfu!" In addition, the departments of the First Field Army of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion are still stationed in the same place and will not be transferred with the First Field Army, do you think it is feasible? ”

The Western Regions Changshi Mansion has 35,000 troops, plus 50,000 new troops, even if the Fourth Field Army and the Chang'an Garrison Division transfer most of them, it will be enough to resist the Xiongnu.
