Wild laughter echoed across the shore.

Of course, Su Zhe is qualified to laugh wildly.

In this confrontation between Pubanjin and Pubanjin, Liu Bei originally took the initiative, and even when Zhuge Liang used his "immortal technique" to defuse his east wind, it was even more shocking to the hearts of the people of the Soviet army.

But in the blink of an eye, this confrontation ended with Su Zhe seizing Hongnong County and Liu Bei being forced to abandon Pubanjin.

Even, Liu Bei didn't even have a chance to retreat calmly, and only after paying nearly 5,000 dead and wounded soldiers did he flee in disgrace.

Su Zhe won completely.

The officers and men of the Soviet army once again enjoyed the joy of victory, once again saw the extraordinary wisdom of their lord, and worshiped Su Zhe, and returned to the top again.

Liu Bei on the boat, but his face was gloomy, looking at the dazzling thousands of Soviet troops on the shore, it was extremely unpleasant.

He really hated to go back to the shore and fight with Su Zhe to regain the dignity that Su Zhe had taken away from him.

"It's just a small defeat, the lord doesn't have to worry about it at all, he will wait for the lord to collect Liangzhou, and after he completely sits down in Guanlong, he will ask for ten times the return from the Su thief."

Zhuge Liang was always as calm as water, his emotions did not fluctuate, and he comforted Liu Bei lightly.

Liu Bei took a long breath at this time, looked at the shore and snorted coldly: "Su Zhe, the war between you and me has just begun, let's come to Japan for a long time!" ”

Liu Bei, who had made cruel words, disdained to look at the east bank again, and turned to the west bank of the Yellow River.

Ahead is Guanzhong, and he still has a lot to do.

The counties of Liangzhou, those fierce county guards, still need his grace and power to completely subdue them.

On the Guanzhong side, it is also necessary to move more people from Yizhou to make Guanzhong prosperous again, so as to ensure that he will have enough food and grass when he goes out of Guandong in the future.

As the boat drifted farther away, more than a dozen rafts gradually disappeared on the side of the rolling Yellow River.

On the shore, the cheers of the Soviet soldiers also came to an end, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

Due to Liu Bei's haste of leaving, nearly 10,000 pieces of grain and grass, and more than 500 cattle and sheep were not transported to the west bank, and these things became the trophies of Su Zhe's reward for the soldiers.

That night, the smell of wine and meat in Kasakatsu was overflowing, and the Soviet soldiers sang and danced to celebrate the victory of the final battle against the state.

They all knew that the war between their Duke of Chu and Liu Bei had come to an end for the time being.

Now, after the bloody battle, they can finally go home, return to their long-lost wives and children with the rewards of their military exploits, and enjoy the joy of family.

From Liaodong to Bingzhou, Su Zhe fought for many years, and by this time, he was indeed a little tired.

It's time to stop the expedition and take a break.

Therefore, on the third day after the capture of Pubanjin, Su Zhe left Xu Huang to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to sit in the state and guard against the Huns in the five northern counties.

Guo Huai led 20,000 elite soldiers to garrison Pubanjin to guard against Liu Bei.

At the same time, he ordered Li Yan to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to be stationed on the front line of Hongnong County to guard against the enemy army in the direction of Tongguan.

After the arrangements were made for the stay-at-home in various places, Su Zhe led the main army to cross the Yellow River from Shaanxi County to the south and enter Hongnong County, then from Hongnong County to Luoyang to the east, and finally from Luoyang to the south to Xudu.

At the beginning of the summer of that year, Su Zhe returned to Xudu City with his army of more than 100,000 troops.

After more than two years, Su Zhe finally returned to Xudu again.

More than two years ago, he swore to the Northern Expedition from here, led the army to kill the Yellow River, and went to recover Hebei.

Now, just two years have passed, not only Jiyou and the three states, but even the counties of Liaodong have also been included in his territory.

And in this Northern Expedition, he destroyed the three princes of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo in succession.

The credit is not brilliant, and the harvest is not small.

Su Zhe returned to Xudu this time to show his great martial arts to the Han court, to Emperor Liu Xie, and to the people of the world.

Sure enough, when the news of Su Zhe's return to Beijing came back to Xudu, the entire capital was boiling.

"Have you heard, our Duke Chu is back."

"Yes, Duke Chu has been gone for two years, and when he came back, Hebei was taken by him, which is really amazing."

"It seems that Duke Chu is really the master of the Mandate of Heaven, and he is destined to be the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty."

"But isn't it, I heard that Dong Zhao and Chen Qun's ministers have already given the emperor a table and issued an edict to the Duke of Chu to be crowned king."

"Oh, if this Duke of Chu becomes the king, it will be the first king with a different surname in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years."

"As far as the merits of the Duke of Chu are concerned, he is definitely worthy of the king, don't say that he is the king, and now he is qualified to be the emperor."

……

In the streets and alleys of Xudu, whether it is a small person in the market or a dignitary, they are all talking about Su Zhe, and the awe of Su Zhe has also reached an unprecedented level.

Su Zhe and others have not yet arrived in Xudu, and the whole city has set off a tide of public opinion that Su Zhe will be promoted to the throne.

And the "Hanchens" who were loyal to Su Zhe also judged the situation and took turns to ask Liu Xie to crown Su Zhe as the king of Chu.

Of course, Liu Xie was 10,000 reluctant.

When the Han Dynasty was founded, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had to take the means of sealing the king with a different surname in order to win Xiang Yu, to appease the princes such as Lalang Yingbu and Peng Yue.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang used various means to flatten the kings with different surnames one by one for the long-term stability of the Han Empire.

Finally, Liu Bang made a will before he died: if it is not the Liu family, the king, the world will fight against him.

Therefore, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, for more than 400 years in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, except for a usurper Wang Mang, no one has a foreign surname to be king.

Calling the king with a different surname has become synonymous with "usurping the country and seizing the throne" and "changing the dynasty".

If Su Zhe is called the king, it means that he will announce to the people of the world that he is going to change the emperor's lordship, and there is only one step left before the emperors who usurped him Liu Xie.

Of course Liu Xie was unwilling.

He didn't want to give up the inheritance left by his ancestors to Su Zhe, let alone become a disgraced king of the country.

Therefore, Liu Xie used various excuses as an excuse to constantly perfunctory the ministers' tables, that is, he was unwilling to issue an edict.

It was early afternoon, the main hall of the palace.

Liu Xie sat listlessly on the dragon throne, looked at the ministers in front of the palace, and tirelessly persuaded him to make Su Zhe king.

Liu Xie's countermeasure is to pretend to be confused and use various other issues to perfunctory the past.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Duke of Chu has returned to Beijing, and now he has led 150,000 troops to the north gate of Xudu!"

In the main hall, there was silence for an instant.

Liu Xie, who was originally full of disgust and pretended to be confused, suddenly shook his body and shivered deeply.

"Then Su Zhe will return to the court, and he came back with an army of 150,000, what does he want to do?"

Liu Xie immediately became nervous, and an ominous thought surged in his mind.

At this time, Dong Zhao under the stairs stood up and said sharply: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Chu is in the Han Dynasty, and there is no one who has made great achievements before or after, if Your Majesty can't reward meritorious deeds and crown the Duke of Chu as the king, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the 150,000 troops outside the city, and then those soldiers who are cold will lose control and do something out of the ordinary, I am afraid that Your Majesty will regret it." ”

Threat!

Dong Zhao: This is already a naked threat.

Su Zhe led an army of 150,000 to return to Beijing, clearly threatening to use force, if he Liu Xie was still stubborn, Su Zhe might lead the army into the palace and destroy him, the puppet emperor.

Liu Xie shivered deeply.
