Chapter 169: The Undercurrent of Clouds and Waves, the First Battle After Ascending the Throne (1)
"My lord. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, an old man in a soap robe arched his hand and said, "Liu Xie died, although Xu Jue was ordered to succeed to the throne, but after all, he was an outsider, and as the lord said, Xu Jue has no family history, he is a white-bodied young general, but he was able to inherit the unification, and many princes are not convinced." ”
"Humph!" Yuan Shu cocked Erlang's legs, looked at Yuan Lian locally, squinted his eyes and said, "Then according to Yuan Langzhong's intentions, what should I do?" ”
"Lord, you are the fourth and third princes, with huge power and many prestige, thousands of times stronger than that Xu Jue, since ancient times, there is a saying that 'choose those who are virtuous and capable', so according to the old ministers, the lord can also be called the emperor and fight against Xu Jue's puppet Han court!"
"Hahahahaha......" Yuan Shu heard this, suddenly laughed, slapped the handsome case, got up suddenly, looked at the civil and military standing below, his eyes were full of essence, "Yes, Yuan Langzhong's words are very much in line with my wishes, I, Yuan Shu, am strong in Huainan, rich in products, many lands, and there are so many generals and strategists, why can't I be called the emperor?" Is he Xu Jue a kid? ”
"......" There was silence at this time, even Yuan Shu, who was the first to speak, was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to really want to be the emperor! I suggest it, but at least I should be polite.
"My lord, I don't think it's okay to do it."
"Oh?" Yuan Shu, who was in joy, suddenly heard someone objecting, and immediately showed displeasure, looked fixedly, and saw that it was Yan Xiang, the main bookkeeper.
"Why?" Yuan Shu's face became more and more gloomy, and he stared at him like a falcon.
"My lord," Yan Xiang said with a calm expression, "Although King Wen of Zhou owned two-thirds of the world in the past, he still paid tribute to Yin; And the lord you now have less than eleven land, and your reputation is not as good as Yuan Shao, Xu Qi and others, Yuan Shao has not yet been called the emperor in Jizhou, and Xu Qi is called the emperor, because of the edict of the first emperor, and there is a jade seal of the country. ”
"Humph! Don't mention that Yuan Shao to me! This is out! Yuan Shu waved his sleeves, and then his face was full of disgust, and his expression was painful, as if he had been forcibly poured a cup of hot Xiang.
......Although Yuan Shu didn't directly express his thoughts, looking at his expression, Yan Xiang also knew that his suggestion seemed to be a slap in the face, so he retreated stupidly and said no more.
"Hmm......" Yuan Shu pondered for a while and looked at Yuan Lian, "Yuan Langzhong, in your opinion, can I be called emperor?" ”
"My lord," Yuan Jian smiled slightly, and replied, "If there is chaos today, the princes will rise together, and the opportunity is in front of you, and you can't miss it!" ”
"Hahaha......" Yuan Shu laughed again, looking at Yuan Jian with great affection, "Aiqing is reasonable, the opportunity must not be missed, what are I waiting for!" Immediately pass the order, I will build an altar and ascend the throne from now on, and compete with Xu Jue, a milky little hairy child! ”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Hahahahaha......" Yuan Shu's unbridled laughter echoed in Shouchun's Taishou Mansion, and below, congratulations and sighs were endless.
……
In the Imperial Palace of Jianye City.
"Ahh Xu Qi, who was discussing government affairs with Zhou Yu and Xun Yu, suddenly sneezed several times, louder than the other, and felt that the fight was over, so he rubbed his nose and muttered: "Is there a fool scolding me behind my back?" ”
"Your Majesty, please pay attention to the dragon body!" As time went by, Xun Yu's attitude towards Xu Jue became better and better, although he was full of suspicion and shock when he heard the news of Liu Xie's sudden death and Xu Jue's succession to the throne at first, but the wood was already in the boat, what was the use of being entangled by himself, so he turned the inextricable doubts into a sigh and became his prime minister with peace of mind.
"Hehe, if you have Prime Minister Lao to worry about you, it's okay for me." Xu Qi smiled and turned his head to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, what do you think should happen next?" ”
"Your Majesty, there is still a place in Yangzhou that has not been convinced, and now we have enough soldiers and food, and we are in full swing, so we should use this place as a breakthrough to calm down and establish the world."
"What the deputy governor is referring to, is it Huainan Yuan Shu?" Xun Yu turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, looking puzzled.
"Exactly!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it is impossible, Yuan Shu sits in Huainan, the city is strong, and there are many soldiers, horses, grain and grass, thousands of good generals under his command, hundreds of thousands of armor, and our army is only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, if you take the initiative to attack, it is difficult to win!"
"Hmm." Xu Jue nodded, what Xun Yu said was not unreasonable, after Yuan Shu robbed Qiao Mao's army, the first thing he did when he returned to Huainan was to recruit troops frantically, according to conservative estimates, he now has at least more than 200,000 horses.
"Qiu Yao."
"The last general!" Although Leng Ye and Wu Dao were appointed by Xu Qi as the deputy commanders of the forbidden army, they were still their bodyguards, and the reason why they were so appointed was nothing more than to receive food and salary in an official position.
"You quickly go and inform General Yue Fei to come, I have something to discuss with him!"
"Yes!"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen talks a lot, although Yue Fei was born with a talent, he has not shown any outstanding ability, you just appointed him as a general like this, you are not afraid of ......"
"Aiqing, since I dare to put an unknown person in such a dazzling position, I must be sure, and this person must also have the ability, so you don't have to worry about this!" Xu Qi looked at Xun Yu, smiled, and said no more, just waiting for Yue Fei's arrival.
After half a cup of tea, Yue Fei came over, and when he saw Xu Jue, he immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty!" ”
"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Aiqing," Xu Jue looked at Yue Fei in front of him, this national hero was respected and loved from the bottom of his heart, "I cut redundant personnel not long ago, and laid off more than 30,000 forbidden troops, and now they are idle formations, can you train an army for me that will go to the front and surrender to all?" ”
"Since Your Majesty looks down on the last general, the last general should naturally do his best and bother to practice, as for the results, the last general does not dare to guarantee it!"
Xu Jue looked at Yue Fei, who was a little ashamed, as if he had suddenly thought of something, but he remained silent and laughed: "It's okay, this army will be under your control, and you will personally train it, and when you fight in the future, you will fully show their demeanor!" ”
"Yes!"
"Hehe, General Yue, I still have one more matter, I don't know where your son Yue Yun is now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the dog is now with the Li family, taught by her, this child is too naughty and too playful, hey!"
Although Yue Fei sighed, Xu Qi could still see the affection revealed in Yue Fei's words, so he smiled: "I want Xiao Yue Yun to enter the palace and receive training from Zhou Dong, I have seen his divine power at the beginning, if I go through formal training, I will become a general in the future!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and the last general will obey the holy will!" Yue Fei bowed his hand to thank him, and Xu Qi flattened him.
"Hehe, Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, if it's okay, you can step down!"
"Yes!"
Looking at Yue Fei's departing back, Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh, "I really don't see what this person's strengths are, is Your Majesty's knowledge of people reliable?" ”
"Hehe, Gong Jin, just look at it, this person's exploits will definitely be among the best in our army in the future!"
“!” Whether it was Xun Yu or Zhou Yu, they were all shocked when they heard this, and they were full of surprise about what Xu Qi said and Yue Fei's ability.
……
On the way to the plains.
"Brother, why did you listen to Xu Jue's words and go to Shangyu to take up a post without saying a word?" Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked questions.
"Second brother, Xu Jue is now the emperor, how can you call him by his name?"
"......" Guan Yu was silent for a while, silent.
"Humph! I Zhang Fei doesn't care if he is Xu Qi or His Majesty, anyway, I only know my brother! At this time, Zhang Feiweng spoke angrily, and the ears of the three people were slightly buzzing.
"That's it! I Liu Tang felt that this Xu Jue was not a good thing, when he entered the palace, this Xu Jue only looked at me, and then he had no good face, and he turned a blind eye to me, which was simply hateful! The red-haired ghost Liu Tang was indignant and complained.
"Phew!"
Liu Bei suddenly stopped, turned his head towards the three of them with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "I, Liu Bei, didn't say anything, but the three of you are so dissatisfied, don't forget, no matter how Xu Jue is a foreign surname, he is also the son of my Han, and I am also another descendant of the Han!" ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, although Liu Bei said so righteously, but even Liu Tang, the most unscrupulous person, heard the other meanings in his words.
