Yizhou County, Shuangbai County.

Yizhou County was originally an area beyond the reach of Liu Zhang's whip, and it was also a place where Han and Yi lived together. After Liu Bei was stationed in Shuangbai County, he was very greedy for several nearby cities, and most of Yizhou County was about to fall into Liu Bei's hands.

It's not that Liu Bei wants to dig into the corner of his brother.

In fact, with only Shuangbai County's taxes and Liu Zhang's monthly ration supply, he Liu Bei really can't afford to raise too many troops.

There are no tens of thousands of people and horses, not to mention looking for Hao Meng to take revenge in the future, even the barbarians who are close at hand can teach him Liu Bei. If it weren't for the second brother Guan Yu being qualified, and the third brother Zhang Fei would still be powerful, he Liu Bei would not be able to deter those barbarians.

In half a year, Liu Bei quietly ate several cities in Yizhou County, and finally barely managed to support an army of 30,000.

On this day, in Wuliang Mountain, Liu Bei had just signed a "Treaty of Mutual Assistance, Cooperation and Friendship between the Two Sides" with the barbarian king Meng Shu, when he received news from the rear: Hao Mengjin has become the king!

"Is the news accurate?"

In the mansion of General Zuo in Shuangbai County, Liu Bei, who hurried back, asked Sun Qian for verification.

"The message is true."

"Hao Meng's usurpation of the throne has been spread to the world, so naturally it is not fake."

Sun Qian replied worriedly.

Compared with Sun Qian's worries, Liu Bei suddenly rejoiced: "Okay! ”

This call of "good" instantly made the three or two big and small cats in General Zuo's mansion stunned.

Hao Meng usurped the throne and became the king, but it was your old Liu family's Jiangshan Sheji who was gluttonous, why did you Liu Bei still applaud Hao Meng?

Is the lord Liu Bei angry?

Still is......

Looking at the surprised eyes around him, Liu Bei instantly understood that he shouldn't have shown such true feelings at this time.

However, Liu Bei still has the ability to fool Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the point of being desperate and taking back this little thing.

"My ancestor once punished the white horse and made an alliance, saying: If it is not the Liu family and the king, the world will fight it together!"

"Hao Meng is now ignoring the "White Horse Alliance" set by Gao Zu, and usurping the throne, this has become the target of the world's joint attack, and the day of its destruction is not far away!"

Liu Bei's statement can be regarded as explaining the applause just now.

……

"The lord sees it!"

Jian Yong patted the ass just right, but pouted disdainfully in his heart.

If it is not the Liu family and the king, the world will attack it.

That's right.

However, that also depends on the general trend of the world!

Right now, Hao Meng is already the only powerful prince in the world, and he is so powerful that there are already five people in the world who can compete with him. Looking at the remaining princes, the combined strength is less than half of Hao Meng's, what kind of "joint attack"?!

Of course, these are good for Jian Yong to understand in his heart, and he can't declare them.

"If you want to rely on the "White Horse Alliance" to attack Hao Meng, this has to be put to the next step, but the top priority at the moment is that the lord must also be crowned king!" Jian Yong arched his hand and said.

"If the lord is not king, why should he call on the princes to fight Hao Meng together?"

"If the lord doesn't claim to be the king, wouldn't he be inferior to Hao Meng?"

Jian Yong is persuaded to enter.

For Liu Bei, a good friend for many years, Jian Yong knows a lot. Liu Bei suddenly applauded just now, but Jian Yong knew a thing or two.

No, Jian Yong immediately followed suit?

"I beg my lord, take the throne and become king!"

"Big brother, take the throne and be the king!"

Sun Qian, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others are not fools, and after Jian Yong, they also followed closely to persuade Liu Bei.

"Is this it?" Liu Bei groaned.

"Well, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of Hao Meng's evil thief, and for the sake of the people of the world, Liu Bei is not talented, so he will reluctantly enter the throne!"

In front of his own brothers, Liu Bei did not shirk.

As for the drama of three concessions and three resignations, that is the next drama to be played.

So, a few days later, after all kinds of persuasion dramas were performed, Liu Bei was scheduled to be the king of Yi on the first day of the fifth month.

……

Following Liu Zhang and Liu Bei, Cao Cao is also scheduled to be the king of Wei on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

In fact, Cao Cao's Nanzheng in Hanzhong is the closest to Hao Meng's territory.

Yes, Cao Cao was the first to know the news of Hao Meng's entry into the Lord.

At that time, Cao Cao only had all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, but he did not dare to follow Hao Meng's example.

King?

Cao Mengde naturally had this idea.

However, after synthesizing his various strengths, Cao Cao knew that if he Cao Mengde followed Hao Mengde to become the king, it would not be good, Hao Meng's family did not become the target of the public, but he Cao Cao became the target of the public.

Therefore, in addition to issuing a condemnation, Cao Cao did not have the intention or action of becoming the king.

It's just that when Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were going to be kings, Cao Cao couldn't sit still in the opposition.

The princes from all walks of life have called the king, if he Cao Cao does not call the king, in terms of status and status, he will no longer be equal in the future.

This is what Cao Mengde does not want to see.

What should I do?

Easy to do!

He, Cao Cao, is also called the king, isn't it done?!

Moreover, after Liu Bei and Liu Zhang became kings, he Cao Cao would not become the target of public criticism if he became king again.

So, after consulting with the three dog-headed military advisors under the seat, Cao Cao was scheduled to enter the king of Wei on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

……

Ma Jiajun is the latest to know about Hao Meng's entry into the throne.

Xiliang is too far away from the Central Plains after all.

Moreover, after Ma Jiajun was beaten out of Guanzhong by Hao Meng, and fled back to Xiliang in embarrassment, he was still faced with a dilapidated Liangzhou that needed to be cleaned up with great effort and many Hu tribes.

The Hu people in Xiliang are arrogant, and Ma Jiajun almost can't catch those Hu people, where is the spare energy to pay attention to the Central Plains?

If it weren't for the news brought by the business travelers, Ma Jiajun would not have known that the Central Plains had been turned upside down!

Knowing the news that Hao Mengjin was the king of the king, Ma Chao advised his father Ma Teng and immediately became the king.

After all, only the king against the king can not lose his momentum!

However, Ma Teng hesitated.

First, in the early Han Dynasty, Gaozu set the "White Horse Alliance".

In the past 400 years, there has really been no prince who dares to take the lead in defying the law. Hao Meng dared to break this covenant, that is because Hao Meng has that strength. And the current Ma Jiajun does not have the strength to break the alliance.

Another is that their Ma Jiajun's foothold in Xiliang is about to become a problem, where does the capital come from to be the king?

Don't call yourself the king with your front foot, and your back foot will be chased and killed by the Zhuhu of Xiliang and you will run away, then it will become a laughing stock of history!

These two concerns of his father are not a problem in Ma Chao's view.

"Father, today, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have long ceased to exist, and Hao Meng took the lead in breaking the covenant, and "The Alliance of the White Horse" has no meaning. Besides, even if "The Alliance of the White Horse" is still binding, the primary goal of the princes of the world is Hao Meng's house! ”

Ma Chao continued to advise his father.

"Xiliang, because of the rebellion between Han Sui and Zhuhu, our Han people were tragically poisoned, and the remaining population was less than two-three out of ten."

"My father was the king at this time, which gave hope to the Han people in Liangzhou, just in time to integrate the remaining Han people."

"In this way, our strength may be able to increase by one or two."

"When the time comes, not only will it be able to deter this Xiliang Zhuhu, but maybe there will be enough strength to strangle it."

Of course, there is another point, but Ma Chao did not announce it.

Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?
