Chapter 1076: Liu Qi is the emperor
Although Longguan is occupied by Ma Chao, Chang'an is not so easy to break, and Chang'an has a frustrated seat.
And Jizhou is dangerous, what a wave the Youzhou army has set off in Jizhou, otherwise Yuan Shao will not withdraw from Huguan, the successive failures of the Jizhou army have made the princes a little optimistic about the former princes' alliance leader, if Jizhou can not come out of this crisis, then Yuan Shao's strength must be seriously damaged.
Compared with the war in Jizhou, Jingzhou attracted the attention of the princes the most.
After Liu Bei led the soldiers and horses back to Jingzhou, he immediately expressed his support for Liu Qi to inherit the unification and become the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.
But there are not too many families who really support Liu Bei in the depths of their hearts, mainly because Liu Bei's previous achievements are there, and failure in Xuzhou will inevitably make the family have doubts about Liu Bei, if Liu Bei can show strong enough means and skills, it is not impossible for the family in Jingzhou to support Liu Bei.
At this time, although Jingzhou looked powerful, the real people of insight could see that if Jingzhou could not get out of the threat of Yanzhou and Jiangdong, it would face greater dangers.
Under the leadership of Liu Bei, the lord of Jingzhou has become Liu Qi, as for why he is not the lord of the world, it is because the princes obey the orders of the Han family.
Since learning that Kuai Liang supported him as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty above the court, Liu Qi was overjoyed and deeply felt wise about his original choice.
When Liu Bei was defeated in Xuzhou and went to Jingzhou, the family in Jingzhou did not hesitate to treat Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei at that time was slightly weak, and he was the general of the defeated army, but Liu Qi expressed goodwill to Liu Bei, at that time, Liu Qi had no hope of competing for the position of the crown prince, he did not have the support of the Cai family in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao loved Liu Cong, once he died, the position of the emperor must be Liu Cong's, and the reason why he befriended Liu Bei was also to have a way out in the future.
After Liu Cong became the emperor, Liu Qi seemed to have become a person who threatened the stability of the emperor's throne, maybe the Cai family would eradicate him in secret, such things are not uncommon in the imperial family, and the emperor will do anything for his position.
Liu Bei was in charge of the military power in Jingzhou, which was completely unexpected by Liu Qi, in Liu Qi's impression, Liu Bei was a generous elder, but when he saw Liu Bei again, he deeply felt the changes in Liu Bei's body, and the momentum was stronger than before, and the faint self-confidence made Liu Qi a little frightened.
Between the words, although Liu Bei's tone is still the same as before, the feeling to Liu Qi is very different, but Liu Qi is already very satisfied with being able to become the new emperor of the Han family, and Liu Qi is also at a disadvantage when talking with Liu Bei.
It is true that Liu Qi also understands that his words are just empty promises now, in order to be able to ascend to that supreme position, as long as he ascends to the position that represents the pinnacle of power, why not get more things, maybe he can get the support of the Jingzhou family, so as to become the real lord of Jingzhou.
"This time I can stabilize the Han family, thanks to the envoy, if this prince can become the emperor, the envoy is a general." Liu Qi promised.
Liu Bei's eyes flashed with excitement, the position of the general is above the three dukes, commanding the world's soldiers and horses, before this position was held by Lu Bu, but when Jingzhou united the princes to deal with the state, it was to deprive Lu Bu of the position of the general, and at this time Lu Bu's identity in the Han family was a rebellion.
"This matter will be decided after the eldest prince inherits the unification, and now the eldest prince has a noble status, and he must not walk around in the city at will, the little prince has not been able to get his wish this time, and the power of the Cai family in the city is very great, although Cai Mao died, but there is the Cai family in charge, which should not be underestimated." Liu Bei admonished.
Liu Qi said in a low voice: "Envoy, since Cai Mao is dead, why not take the opportunity to eradicate the Cai family, the Cai family is just a woman, why be afraid?" ”
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "The eldest prince, the Cai family is now the queen mother of the country, if he is killed, the princes will definitely criticize him, which is extremely unfavorable to Jingzhou today." ”
Looking at Liu Qi's overly wine-colored face, a trace of disgust flashed in Liu Bei's heart, how powerful the Cai family is in Jingzhou, Liu Bei is clear, if the Cai family's power is forced to be urgent because of impulse, the gains outweigh the losses, the reason why he was able to enter Jingzhou so easily is because of surprise, without the Cai family's expectations, he seized military power, gained the trust of Nanyang Taishou Zhang Xian, and entered Xiangyang.
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Everything is subject to the orders of the envoy." ”
"The eldest prince will be the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, the minister is the minister, the king is the king, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." Liu Bei is colorful.
Liu Qi nodded yes, but in his heart he didn't mind Liu Bei before, since he was able to say this, it can be seen that Liu Bei has great respect for the emperor of the Han family.
With Liu Bei's strong support, Liu Qi was declared the crown prince of the Han Dynasty three days after the army entered Xiangyang, and he chose a day to ascend the throne, and the dead Liu Biao was also given a grand burial.
Before Liu Biao's death, he had already chosen the place to be buried after death, which was also a common thing for emperors, but Liu Biao's actions were unwise in Liu Bei's opinion.
Yanzhou, after Cao Cao learned of the changes in Jingzhou, his face showed a trace of surprise, obviously he didn't expect that Liu Bei would enter Jingzhou so easily.
Xun Yu said: "Now the person in charge of the Jingzhou Army is Liu Bei, and Liu Bei supports the great prince Liu Qi to inherit the unification, but it is a little difficult to find Liu Bei's shortcomings in this regard." ”
Cao Cao sighed: "The Yanzhou army is injured this time, otherwise, Benhou will raise troops to Jingzhou, who can stop it." ”
"Lord, Jingzhou at this time cannot be attacked, not only that, but the original plan must be postponed."
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, the Yanzhou army lost troops on the battlefield of Huguan, and the most important thing at present is to recuperate, so that the army can gradually recover from defeat, Jingzhou is important, if the attack outweighs the loss, Cao Cao will not do this.
The defeat of Huguan can be said to be unexpected by Cao Cao, the princes of the Quartet are united in one place, the fierce generals are like clouds and strategists are like rain, Lu Bu is completely at a disadvantage, but he doesn't want to come to the current situation, and Huang Zhong's battle in the eagle's beak ridge has caused Cao's army to suffer heavy losses, and now the generals and soldiers in the army are panicked, and it is not suitable to move troops against Jingzhou.
