Chapter 226: The Seven Princes Attack Liu Biao
After the news of Sun Jian's death in battle spread, the reactions of the princes in various places were different, Yuan Shao immediately asked Liu He to issue a holy decree to apply for Liu Biao, after all, it was Liu Biao who killed Sun Jian, but Liu Biao respected Liu Xie, Yuan Shao's holy decree was like waste paper to him, unless the imperial court sent a large army to crusade against Liu Biao.

The army of the imperial court is in the hands of Yuan Shao, it can be said that the imperial court is just a puppet in the hands of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is far away in Luoyang, he can't send troops, but it doesn't mean that he can't do anything to Liu Biao.
Yuan Shao gave Yuan Shu an edict to crusade against Liu Biao, and at the same time, Yuan Shao also passed the decree to the rest of the princes of Yangzhou.
Liu Shu was originally the history of Yangzhou Thorn, after leaving Luoyang, the imperial court abolished Liu Miao's position of Yangzhou Thorn History, and Yuan Shu took over as Yangzhou Mu, although Yuan Shu was nominally Yangzhou Mu, but the six counties of Yangzhou did not obey Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's nest was in Runan, Yuzhou, so Yuan Shu was only in vain, perhaps this was Yuan Shao's plan to restrain him.
In addition to giving Yuan Shu an edict to crusade against Liu Biao, Yuan Shu also ordered Danyang to guard Zhou Xin, Jiujiang to guard Zhou Qiao, Lujiang to guard Lu Kang, Yuzhang to guard Zhuge Xuan, Wujun to guard Xu Gong and Huiji to guard Wang Lang, so that they could discuss Liu Biao together.
Liu Biao's actions not only made the Luoyang court angry, but when Su Chen, who was far away in Youzhou, learned from the secret letter sent by Zhang He that Sun Jian was killed by Liu Biao's design, he flipped the table on the spot.
At the beginning, the princes of the Nineteenth Road asked for Dong, and there were few who could really make him look at it, and the five of them formed a righteous alliance, although it was a matter of interest at the time, but his friendship with Sun Jian has always been very good, this time Liu Biao dared to do this, if he didn't do something, I am afraid that no one in the world would be afraid of his prestige as Yanhou.
Youzhou is separated from Jingzhou by 108,000 miles, and unless his navy can attack across the sea, sending troops to attack Liu Biao is just a joke.
After the establishment of the Pingzhou Governor's Office, he asked Zhang He to recruit skilled shipbuilders and soldiers familiar with water in the south, and in the past two years, a large number of craftsmen have been recruited, not only that, but the most surprising thing for him is that Zhang He subdued two water bandits on the Yangtze River, one is called Zhou Tai, and the other is called Jiang Qin, and the two dared to rob the ships escorted by Zhang He himself, which is not looking for death.
Zhang He knew that his lord liked talents, and after seeing the skills and water nature of the two, he revealed his identity and easily subdued the two, these two people have been on the big rivers all the year round, and they have a lot of experience in water warfare, so he sent the two to Tai Shici's naval base.
Regarding Sun Jian's death, he must make his voice heard, firstly, to let all the princes in the world know his prestige, and secondly, for the love between the two.
Hua Xin is the best at this kind of thing, he called Hua Xin and asked: "Ziyu, you have read the news, Liu Biao dared to be so bold, it really made Ben Hou resentful!" ”
"What does the lord want to do?" After reading the secret letter, Hua Xin asked, "Or, what kind of effect does the lord want to achieve?" ”
"At least let Liu Biao pay the price!" He said hatefully: "Although Benhou does not have the conditions to send troops to attack Liu Biao, Benhou will suggest to the general and the imperial court that Yuan Highway in Runan and Liu Miao in Yangzhou crusade against Liu Biao. ”
"Well, if the lord can let Yuan Shao order all the princes of Yangzhou to crusade against Liu Biao, it will naturally be good, after all, a chaotic Yangzhou is also good for us, and it is also good for Yuan Shao, so my subordinates feel that there is no problem on the side of the court."
"Hmm!" After receiving his affirmative reply, Su Chen said again: "Not only that, although these princes will cause some pressure on Liu Biao, but Liu Biao is the king of Chu, the pastor of Jingzhou, in charge of the nine counties of Jingxiang, even if Yuan Shu unites several princes, he is not Liu Biao's opponent, so Ben Hou wants people to teach Liu Biao a personal lesson." ”
"What do you mean?" Hua Xin asked with some uncertainty.
"Ben Hou plans to send an assassin to assassinate Liu Biao, what does Ziyu think?" It wasn't necessarily successful, but he wanted to give it a try.
Hua Xin listened to this idea, pondered for a moment, and replied: "It is feasible, assassinating Liu Biao, the best result is Liu Biao's death, in this way, a divided Jingzhou is in our interests, we are far away in Youzhou, we will not be able to look south for a few years, Jingzhou chaos has some advantages, but there are also disadvantages, if Yuan Shu takes the opportunity to occupy the nine counties of Jingxiang, then he will become the number one prince in the world." ”
"Let him go!" Su Chen was not worried about this result, and said: "Yuan Shu is just a stupid pig, he will kill himself without even needing someone else's help, and besides, if Liu Biao is not dead, will he think that Yuan Shu sent someone to assassinate him?" After all, Nanyang is now a piece of meat in Yuan Shu's mouth. ”
"The lord's words are reasonable, this plan is feasible!"
Since Hua Xin also agreed to this matter, he immediately wrote to Zhang He, asking him to send a ghost assassin, pretending to be an assassin of Yuan Shu, to assassinate Liu Biao, whether he succeeded or not, he could only attack once.
In addition, he also asked Zhang He to join Sun Ce, now Changsha must have no place for Sun Ce, and Sun Ce wants to rely on these remnants of the defeated generals to start, it is not an easy thing, in history Sun Ce took refuge in Yuan Shu, he and Sun Ce's father Sun Jian is a friend of eight worships, and it is not impossible to take this Jiangdong little overlord under his banner.
Su Chen's performance came to Luoyang, and also contributed to Yuan Shao's order that all the princes of Yangzhou would join Yuan Shu to crusade against Liu Biao's holy decree, Yuan Shu was naturally very happy after receiving the holy decree, he was originally going to recapture Nanyang from Liu Biao's hands, and he was worried that he could not catch it, since he had the help of all the princes in Yangzhou, he was also happy.
When Liu Biao learned of Yuan Shao's holy decree, he was very frightened, and couldn't help but blame Cai Mao a little: "Look, this is the news from Luoyang, Yuan Shao has ordered the princes of the Seven Roads to crusade against this king, and Jingzhou is in danger." ”
Hearing Liu Biao's words, Cai Mao said disdainfully: "Why should the king be like this, these Jiangdong princes are originally at odds with each other, plus this matter was originally Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's fault, since we have done it, we don't have to regret it, these princes don't have a navy, as long as he dares to come, I, Cai Mao, dare to leave them in Jingzhou." ”
"Hey!" Liu Biao saw Cai Mao like this, his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what to do, after all, he had always cherished feathers, and this time he was spurned by the world as an unkind and unrighteous person.
Not to mention Liu Biao's predicament, Sun Ce returned to Wu County, and after burying Sun Jian, he has been thinking about countermeasures, the situation in Jiangdong is complicated, the princes from all walks of life are strong, and where will his Sun family go, which is a question worth thinking about.
At this moment, Sun Ce received a letter from Su Chen, and after reading the letter, Sun Ce felt a little moved in his heart.
