357. Claim the throne
Guan Yu saw that there were many people on the other side, and he held his breath and prepared to fight. At this time, Han Fei gave an order, and he directly asked Guan Ping and Zhou Cang to lead troops up to support Guan Yu.
Seeing that a scuffle was inevitable, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind Guan Yu and them, and a team rushed over. Led by a general, Han Fei turned his head and saw that it was none other than Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who had just been separated for a long time.
It turned out that Lu Bu randomly arranged for someone to send some loot to the Black Mountain thieves. As a result, Chen Gong stopped him and told him that he suspected that Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain thief, would rob Guan Yu and them. Lu Bu was very angry when he heard this, so he ordered Zhang Liao to go in person instead of him. In order to organize Zhang Yan of Montenegro.
Zhang Liao's arrival greatly surprised Zhang Yan, and seeing Lu Bu meddling in this matter, Zhang Yan suddenly became two big. He secretly said a word of pity, and withdrew with the men and horses with a whistle.
Zhang Liao saw Zhang Yan retreating with his troops, and immediately sneered in his heart: "Count yourself interesting, otherwise you won't be really good today." Zhang Yan withdrew, Zhang Liao came over to meet Han Fei and Guan Yu and others, and Guan Yu and Han Fei immediately thanked Zhang Liao for their assistance. After some thanks, the two sides separated, Zhang Liao returned to Lu Bu without mentioning it, and Guan Yu took Han Fei and his party to Youbeiping City.
Han Fei saw that Guan Yu was in charge here, so he took his leave and returned to Qingzhou. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it's time to go back and rest. However, when he rushed back to Changyi City with Zhao Yun and others, he found that he couldn't rest at all. It turned out that Han Fei was not there at this time, but the call for urging Liu Bei to be the king was getting higher and higher.
As soon as Han Fei returned home, he was summoned by Liu Bei to the governor's mansion. Han Fei didn't delay, said a word to Cai Yan, and then rushed to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion with an intuition. When I came to the governor's mansion, I saw that it was a good guy, it was really lively here. Wenchen Tian Feng, Jia Xu, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Gu Yong, Jian Yong, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, Fu Zhu, Chen Deng and others all arrived, among which Fu Zhu and Chen Deng were obviously summoned back from Xuzhou by Liu Bei. Although there are a lot fewer people on the general's side, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, Wei Yan, Mi Fang and others are all here.
As soon as Liu Bei saw Han Fei coming, he immediately laughed and said, "Zicong is waiting for you!" Come on, come on, take a seat. Han Fei immediately saluted Liu Bei and then came to his place and sat down.
As soon as Han Fei sat down, at this time, the honest man Tian Feng spoke first, and he saluted Liu Bei and said, "Lord, Zicong is back, you should make up your mind about this king!" Before, you have been shirking the lack of personnel, and you have to wait for Zicong to come back to discuss, and now is the right time. ”
Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Han Fei with his eyes waiting for him to speak. Han Fei instantly understood what was going on, and he smiled secretly in his heart: "It seems that this is a floating heart, and everyone wants to fight for the merit of the dragon!" The key is that Liu Bei himself can't hold on, you look at the expectant eyes, and you almost intuitively speak. ”
Thinking of this, Han Fei coughed slightly, and then he Lao Liu said: "Lord, the matter of being the king can be put on the agenda, now that you have all the military under your command, coupled with the vast territory, Qingzhou Mu alone is not worthy of your current status." Therefore it is imperative to be king. It's just that this king's name has ever been set? ”
As soon as Han Fei finished asking, Jian Yong on the side smiled and said, "We are in the land of Qilu, and if you want to be king, the best thing to do is the king of Qi and the king of Lu." ”
"The lord, the country of Qi is a big country, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Duke of Qi Huan was one of the five hegemons, and the State of Qi was also among the seven heroes during the Warring States period. And Lu Guoxue is much weaker, so in my opinion, King Qi should be the first choice. "The one who speaks is the one who speaks. It's still that meticulous character.,And when you speak, it's very rational.,People are unconsciously convinced.。
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Qian also spoke: "My lord, I also agree with the title of King Yongqi, King Lu is indeed not in line with your image." After he finished speaking, a few more people spoke, and everyone agreed with the title of King Qi. Liu Bei was already happy in his heart, but he still maintained a calm face on his face.
He looked around at the people sitting in the hall, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay! Since everyone has this intention, then Lone is reluctant to choose a day to sacrifice to the sky and be the king. This is a good one! ”
"The king is wise!" The crowd shouted in unison.
"Hahaha!" Liu Bei straightened his waist and laughed heartily. The general direction has been decided, and all that remains is to choose an auspicious day to worship the sky, and then announce it to the world. At this time, Liu Bei naturally didn't need to prepare anything, and the rest of the things were naturally left to the people below. Tian Feng and Fu Zhi took over the responsibilities of the general manager directly. The others were also happy and relaxed, just waiting for them to send them to work.
Everyone dispersed, and Liu Bei left Han Fei alone. "Zicong, I didn't expect to be the king one day, this is all your credit, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have today's achievements." Liu Bei stared at Han Fei's eyes and confessed his true feelings.
Han Fei smiled at the moment: "The lord praised it, in fact, even if I can be the king like you, I just helped you advance the time." Liu Bei also smiled, and then the two chatted about the war in the north, and Liu Bei spoke highly of Chen Zhizhi's death. At the same time, he asked Han Fei if he needed to assign him another personal guard commander.
Han Fei thought for a while and said, "Lord, why don't you let my second brother Mi Fang come to me?" ”
As soon as Liu Bei heard that Han Fei wanted Mi Fang to go, he agreed without saying a word. So Mi Fang once again became the leader of her brother-in-law's personal bodyguard.
The next few days passed, and Liu Bei's good day for claiming the king was set on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and at this time, thirty miles outside the city, it was time to build a high platform to prepare for the sacrifice to the sky.
Seeing that the good days are approaching day by day, and the New Year and the day of becoming the king are coming, Liu Bei can't hold back his restless heart at this moment. I have been soaking in the back house every day for the past few days, and I originally wanted to take advantage of the joy of being the king to try it to see if I could grow a small world. But the result is still regrettable, Liu Bei's plan did not succeed.
In this way, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Bei changed into a royal robe, accompanied by a group of civil and military personnel, ascended the high platform, and after worshipping the sky, he announced to the world that he called himself the king of Qi and led Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other places.
At the same time, Guan Yu was added as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, Zhang Fei as the champion, Zhao Yun as the Anbei Candidate, Ma Chao as the Pingxi Candidate, and Dian Wei as the Wushuang Candidate. Han Fei was promoted to the rank of Grand Sima, the chief military division. Zhuge Liang sacrificed wine for the military advisor. The others have also been rewarded, and I will not describe them all here.
