Zhuge Liang reluctantly killed Ma Yan, although he solved the problem for the future inheritance, but the immediate problem was indeed very critical, because the garrison of Lv Meng in the street pavilion made him tantamount to suffering from the enemy on his back and unable to deal with the sailors of Jiangdong with all his strength, so he had to divide his mind to deal with Lu Meng's two ways, and the war dragged on again.

But there was an unexpected situation that made Zhuge Liang even more dilemma, that is, Liu Bei's defeat.

Liu Bei with 200,000 troops to face Lu Xun, originally had an advantage in military strength, but because of Lu Xun's ability, and at the same time heard that Lu Peng attacked Yiling very tightly, so Liu Bei rushed to the enemy, surrounded Lu Xun's Xiangfan tightly, and attacked day and night, as a result, it rained heavily in September this year, and it was not stopped for ten days, and the terrain of the camp where Liu Bei was stationed was low-lying, and it was deeply affected by the water, Ma Liang repeatedly advised Liu Bei to move the camp to a high place, but Liu Bei believed that once the camp was moved to a high place, it would be equivalent to relieving the siege of Xiangfan, which he absolutely did not want to see.

And on the tenth day, the Han River swelled, Lu Xun sent 10,000 dead soldiers to dig a dam in the upper reaches of the Han River, and the flood was monstrous for a while, and in a blink of an eye, Liu Bei's 200,000 army camp was flooded into a Ze country.

Lu Xun sat on the boat and raft that had been prepared a long time ago, and slaughtered Liu Bei's Han army on the water, who was powerless.

In this battle, Liu Bei's 200,000 troops were flooded, which damaged the veteran Huang Zhong, and fled back to Luoyang with less than 10,000 horses and horses under the protection of the Ma brothers.

This battle completely broke Liu Bei's backbone.

Liu Bei fled back to Luoyang and became ill, so he urgently summoned Zhuge Liang to return to the court. In the winter of the twenty-seventh year of Jian'an, Liu Bei finally tore off his mask and forced Emperor Han Xian to give him the throne, and soon Emperor Han Xian died inexplicably. Liu Bei inherited the throne of the Han Dynasty, but he was already terminally ill, but it was just this last dream, so not long after he ascended the throne, Tuogu Zhuge Liang died of illness.

Liu Chan succeeded to the throne as Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

As soon as this news was announced, the world immediately became in an uproar, and the hermits who had originally taken refuge in Liu Bei abandoned their official positions one after another, and issued their own declaration of independence, criticizing Liu Bei's wolf ambitions.

Lv Peng seized this rare opportunity in the world, and immediately announced to the world that although the Han Dynasty has long since died, everyone should be a political gentleman, and the emperor of the new dynasty must treat the emperor of the old dynasty well, but Liu Bei violated this gentleman's style and made a bad start for the world in the future.

As for why Youzhou was changed to Beijing, Lu Peng's explanation was that he wanted to unify the country and not be trapped in one place, and he announced to the world that Chang'an would be Xijing, Jianye would be Nanjing, and Kobe would be Tokyo.

Wait, what is Kobe? Everyone is confused.

Lu Peng replied to the presence of the old god, that is where Xu Fu settled, since he settled there, it is the land of the Han Dynasty, so I set up Tokyo there, is there anything wrong with this?

Of course that's right, because everyone thinks that Lu Peng's inexplicable definition method is still defending his self-proclaimed mysterious immortal origin, Xu Fu went to Dongying to find immortals, and Lu Peng was going to set the capital there, and now announced to the world that he was even in charge of the immortal world.

"Immortal? What about the primitive society, I guess there is not even a monkey in that place now, where did the gods come from? But if I say so, I don't care if you don't think so. ”

After announcing his decision to the world, he swore that he would shoulder the responsibility of ensuring the politics of the gentleman, restore the unification of the world, and carry out a crusade against the three kingdoms of the world.

Lü Peng's excuse was absolutely supported by all the scholars, and what they supported was not Lü Peng's unification of the world, but the gentleman's politics proposed by Lü Peng.

From the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, since the Qin and Han dynasties, dynastic changes are not uncommon, and the division and merger of the world are constantly staged. But no matter how chaotic it is, everyone follows a gentleman's political consciousness.

The later ones overthrew the previous dynasty, and they had to treat the nobles and emperors of the previous dynasty well, not kill them but treat them well, and change the dynasty to kill the emperor, which was a precedent set by the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The reason why everyone tacitly maintains this gentlemanly demeanor is actually to leave a way back for themselves, and the change of dynasty is inevitable, and it is natural for each to be the master of the loyal ministers, but tolerating the emperors and courtiers of the previous dynasty is actually setting an example for their descendants, and using this gentleman's political way to find a political guarantee for their own failure.

Everyone is just playing, if you succeed, you can be high, and if you fail, you will just have no power, but you can also ensure your status and family, so that you can play politics elegantly and calmly.

As a result, Liu Bei suddenly made such a move, killing the first emperor with an inexplicable excuse, this is to break everyone's rules, as soon as such a bad precedent is opened, then if the people who play politics fail in the future, the end will be extremely miserable, and thinking about it will make people's backs numb. Therefore, at this time, there must be someone who stands up to stop such a bad development of events and support this kind of gentlemanly politics, and looking at the world, only Lu Peng can support this kind of justice.

Therefore, no matter what angle the wealthy families and gentry stand on, from the general direction, they all agree with Lu Peng to maintain this political order, including Sun Quan and Cao Pi.

The people at the bottom also expressed their agreement with Lu Peng's declaration.

Since the rebellion of Emperor Dong Zhuo, it has been a full 30 years now, and the warlords in the world have completely destroyed this land of the Central Plains, and all the people are living in dire straits. Ending this non-stop conquest and melee day and night has long been what the people have been thinking about. Especially later, when several huge forces stood up to each other, everyone could see that only the place governed by Lu Peng was really the prosperity of the people of Guotai and the people, and only his policies took care of all the strata of the upper and lower levels, especially the small people. The call for reunification has been higher and higher, and being unified by Lu Peng has become the will of the people, whether you agree or disagree, this general trend in the world has been clearly placed in front of everyone in the world.

Originally, when Liu Bei was alive, if Lu Peng launched a crusade against Liu Bei, in this era when morality and righteousness were still important, some people would jump out to accuse Lu Peng of character problems.

But in order to achieve his ultimate dream, Liu Bei abolished Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and called him the emperor, which has untied the shackles on Lu Peng's head, his life was whined, and his son ascended the throne, which solved Lu Peng's emotional dilemma.

This time, due to Sun Quan's unauthorized proclamation of the emperor, he untied a dead knot of Lu Peng, and because of Liu Bei's death, he completely let go of the moral shackles of this tiger.
