Chapter 214 Yuan Shu Baxi was busy as the emperor, and Cao Cao wanted to edict the tiger and wolf soldiers

As mentioned in the above book, Yuan Shu sent Han Yin to lobby Lü Bu with money, food and gifts, and escaped from Xuzhou under the admonition of Chen Gong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After returning to Huainan, Han Yin learned that Lu Bu had sent someone to hunt him down, and he was a little scared when he thought about it. Later, there was a report that Chen Deng was instructed by Lu Bu to report about Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu was very angry when he heard it.

General Yang said sideways: "My lord, today's plan is to first claim the emperor, and then publish a book in Jizhou, and crown the eldest prince Yuan Shao as the king of Hebei." Then the two brothers worked together to conspire with the world. First join forces to get rid of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and then join forces to plot against Sun Ce. After the Central Plains and Jiangnan are pacified, and then seek the land of Sichuan and Shu, the world can be determined! ”

General Yang has a good idea, and all the princes in the world are waiting for you to come and fight. Otherwise, if Yuan Shu is finished quickly, it would be strange that this kind of pig-headed three strategists under his command would not die. Although his eldest brother Yuan Shao's side of the judges, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Xu Yu are good things, speculative speculation, and short guards, but after all, there is still a frustrated professor to give advice to him and point out a clear way. The old Yuan family has reached this point today, relying on the reputation of "the fourth world and the three princes", and each of the four consecutive generations has a character who has stepped into the position of the third prince; Otherwise, their Yuan family is a fart!

Speaking of these days alone, Yuan Shu attaches more importance to the matter of becoming the emperor, as for Lu Bu tearing up the book contract and surrendering to Cao, he threw it aside.

These days, General Yang led a group of craftsmen to rush to build the palace, from the speed and scale of construction, it can be described as grand, majestic, and expensive. In Shouchun City, thousands of acres of land are enclosed, and the main road traffic is cut off, and the road outside the palace is broken. The southernmost part of the palace was built in the Jinluan Palace, where Yuan Shu convened the ministers to ascend to the palace; Later, Le'an Palace was built for Yuan Shu and his wife and concubine to live in daily; On the east side was built the Imperial Palace; On the west side, Jianzhang Palace was built. Countless towers and jade are built next to these four big palaces, and evergreen trees and evergreens are transplanted, so that the front and back of the palace reveal layers of vitality; Peony, peony, moonflower, orchid were planted...... Countless flowers of all kinds decorate the colorful atmosphere around the green area.

Yuan Shu came to watch the completed palace accompanied by all the ministers, and saw that the palace was blue and heavy, and the glass was made; Bright and bright, jasper makeup. Optimus Prime, the dragon coiled; Lingxiao Palace, majestic and solemn. The extrovert is still like this, and the interior is even more amazing.

Tian picked up the general's belly and stepped into the Jinluan Treasure Hall of Weiyang Palace, Yuan Shu's face was full of surprise, and the smug feelings of the crowd were vividly swayed. But see that inside this forbidden treasure hall, eighteen yellow pillars go straight to the top of the palace, and the pillars are wrapped with golden scales and a red bearded dragon; The walls of the two compartments are paved with orange-yellow glazed gold tiles, and the dragons are painted to survey the sky; The center of the main hall is due to the north of the throne to build a high platform, the table is paved with gold, the railing of the platform is full of golden decorations, on the high platform is a dragon bed made of gold, and a dragon case in front of it flashes with golden light, dazzling.

The hall was filled with dazzling golden light, and everyone was shocked by this magnificent momentum.

"Yang Changshi is really my humerus." Yuan Shu is very satisfied now, he is extremely satisfied, especially when General Yang builds the palace, and the matter of becoming the emperor will be realized immediately, "Everyone, immediately choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, I want to announce to the world and create a new dynasty!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The ministers watch the stars at night, and the day after tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, Your Majesty should draft a holy decree, announce it to the world, and personally step on the orthodoxy! General Yang said sideways, "It's just that the day before yesterday, the eldest prince said in his original letter was extremely bad!" ”

But no matter what he said. I am the eldest son in my family, and he is older than me, so what can I do? Yuan Shu disdained Yuan Shao, and said, "Arrange it immediately, ascend the throne the day after tomorrow, and spread it to the world!" ”

Two days later, with the support of General Yang, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, Qiao Rui and others, Yuan Shu officially ascended the throne and became emperor. Now in the spring of the second year of Jian'an.

Yuan Shu founded the country with the name of Zhongshi, set up officials such as Taiwan Province, rode the dragon and phoenix chariot in and out, sacrificed to the northern and southern suburbs, established the Feng daughter as the queen, and established the son Yuan Yin as the prince of the East Palace, and named the brother Yuan Shao as the king of Hebei; worship Zhang Xun as the hussar general, Ji Ling as the chariot general; Bai Yang is the chief lieutenant, and the secretary of the book (that is, the position of prime minister); Feng Chen Ji, Chen Lan, Le Zhuo, Liang Gang, and Li Feng were generals.

As soon as this news spread out, especially the holy decree stamped with the seal of the jade seal, it really shocked the government and the opposition, and the world was in chaos.

First of all, Yuan Shao of Hebei Province received the holy decree sent by his younger brother, so he didn't go back to his heart. Scolded in my heart: Aren't you fucking looking for death? Now all the heroes in the world are hiding their strength, and they don't want to be this budding bird! You're fucking good, just call the emperor play. Give Lao Tzu a king of Hebei!! You're going to die, yes! Then don't drag me into the water! Malegabazide, don't all the family members say you're smart? Why did you suddenly become so stupid?

scolded and scolded, but when such a big thing happened, Yuan Shaoke couldn't hold his breath, and hurriedly summoned many strategists and generals under his command to come to discuss the matter. As for how he discussed it here and how to deal with it, I won't mention it for the time being.

Shan said that this news reached the ears of Cao Cao in Xuchang. Cao Cao immediately gathered his staff Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others to discuss.

"Yuan Highway is the emperor in Huainan, and he has a jade seal in his hand. What should I do? Cao Cao saw that everyone had arrived, and hurriedly asked.

"Today is the spring flowers, the early grain has not fallen, the treasury is not yet full, if the army is sent at this time, the army is not enough, how to march?" Xun You saw that Cao Cao had the intention of sending troops, so he admonished.

"Gongda's words are very true. However, if there are no troops, where is the emperor's prestige? Isn't it equivalent to recognizing Yuan Highway? Cao Cao naturally knew that it would be detrimental to him to send troops at this time.

"Shu is rich, and the lord can ask for a holy decree to make Liu Sheng give 300,000 grains. That Liu Shengju is the emperor's uncle, will the Son of Heaven ignore it? Cheng Yujin made suggestions.

"The lord went to ask for four ways, one holy decree asked Liu Sheng to raise 300,000 grains and our army, and then our army went out to fight against Yuan Shu; The second holy decree canonized Sun Bofu as a rebellious general, so that he brought his own food and salary to attack Xuzhong; The three holy decrees went to the place of Lu Bu to lead the troops to Xiyang to meet our army and come under the jurisdiction of the prime minister; The four holy decrees made Liu Biao send troops to attack Hefei. Guo Jia pondered for a moment, and then offered a plan.

"This is very good, I will enter the palace immediately to see the driver, and ask for the decree." These people under Cao Cao's command can be described as human spirits, so what bad ideas do they have? Cheng Yu's idea hit Liu Qian because Liu Qian is too powerful now, and if he sends troops again this time, Cao Cao may not get anything. According to Liu Qian's loyalty to the royal family in the past, as long as there is a holy decree, he can make it food. In this way, on the one hand, Cao Cao's territory was expanded, and Liu Qian could lose a large amount of food. It's a pity that what he saw was only the side of Liu Qian. If Liu Qian saw his tricks, would he go back to support Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu after he obediently gave out his food? I can't say for sure?

And the purpose of Guo Jia's strategy is mainly to defend Cao Cao's current position, and the Son of Heaven is in hand in order to be profitable! If this Son of Heaven loses its value, Cao Cao's current strength will be greatly reduced! As for how to deal with the other princes after eliminating Yuan Shu, it will depend on the situation at that time!

Cao Cao was already familiar with the matter of asking for the holy decree, and soon returned from the palace with Xun You, who was holding four holy decrees in his hand, followed by four Huangmen attendants (that is, eunuchs).

Cao Cao made a simple arrangement for the four of them, and handed over the holy decree to them.

Speaking of this day, Chengdu City. Liu Qian led Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and others to receive the holy decree, and asked people to take the father-in-law who passed the decree to the post station to rest. Everyone came to Liu Qian's mansion and entered the inner hall.

"Yuan Highway is the emperor at this time, but he has calculated that there is no food in the princely states! Cao Cao's idea was a good one. We give food, and he goes to seize the land! Liu Qian looked at the holy decree and casually put it in the sandalwood incense plate on the table.

"It was a good idea! If the lord does not give him food, he will be convicted of disobedience. Xu Shu said.

"I wonder if the lord can send troops to fight Yuan?" Jia Xu looked at Liu Qian and asked.

"Wen He thinks it's going to send troops? Wait and see? Liu Qian asked rhetorically.

"At this time, Cao Cao will definitely not send troops alone. I thought that Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong were all among the conscriptions of the Holy Decree! Jia Xu said.

"It's not just the two. There should still be Xuzhou Lu Bu in the list! Zhuge Liang added.

"With so many princes, how uninteresting is it that I can't wait for the army?" Liu Qian said with a smile.

"There is a plan, neither will it sit in the name of resisting and disobeying the order, nor will it cheapen Cao Cao's gang in vain!" Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said.

"What's the idea? Let's hear it. Liu Qian asked curiously.

"There is a kind of poisonous weed in southern Sichuan, and the poisoned person is lazy and weak within three days. This grass is boiled into juice, and its juice is full of poison, and it is a clear color, if you soak the grain, the grain will be unharmed when it is not soaked!" Jia Xu said.

"Wen He's meaning, could it be that the grain sent to Cao Cao can't be soaked with this medicine?" Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this. Xindao, this Jia Xu looks dignified, and he has such a vicious strategy.

"Not bad." Jia Xu responded.

"But it will take some time to prepare!" Xu Shu asked.

"Our army has always had plenty of food and salaries. To put it up a little, don't soak it, just sprinkle the liquid on the grain and grass. Jia Xu said, turning to Liu Qian, "Lord, you can order troops to go out on the same day." As for this batch of grain and grass, the lord only replied that Cao Cao needed to be recruited, and it was quite inconvenient to transport the grain and grass in the land of Sichuan and Shu, so it could be delayed. As for when to arrive at Cao Cao's military camp, Xu has his own arrangements. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Jia Xu and nodded, and said, "Brother Wenhe's plan is to ask for Cao Cao's roots!" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Kong Ming knows my intentions!" After speaking, the two of them knew each other.

Zhuge Liang then said: "My Sichuan, Shu and Huainan are separated from Liu Jingsheng's Jingzhou, and Cao Cao's newly occupied Yuzhou. However, Liu Jingsheng's troops are outnumbered, and the lord can repair a book, stating that he will send troops together with him to fight for rebellion! At that time, the lord will lead the army away, and he can start this battle for hegemony in the Central Plains from Jingzhou! ”

Liu Qian understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, and this expedition could be regarded as the beginning of the Central Plains.

The next day, Liu Qian summoned his father-in-law, who had delivered the decree, to inform him that the food was being raised. At that time, the father-in-law was instructed by Cheng Yu to return with the grain and grass, so he confessed to Liu Qian and was willing to wait for the grain and grass to return together. Liu Qian didn't care what he did, but just sent personnel to say that it was protection but actually supervision.

After arranging the person who delivered the decree, Liu Qian began to arrange the dispatch of troops in full swing. First, he sent a letter to Liu Biao and obtained Liu Biao's consent. After choosing an auspicious day of the zodiac, Liu Qian made Zhang Jaw and Zhao Yun stationed in Chengdu with Tian Feng, Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, and Wang Lei, and took Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and military advisors Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Xu Shu, and ordered 200,000 horse infantry from Chengdu to go straight to Jingzhou.

Speaking of Jiangdong Sun Ce, he was very happy to hear that Cao Cao was a rebellious general and wrote about Jiangdong's affairs. Immediately, he promised to raise 80,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong to conquer Yuan Shu and Xuzhong County. Sun Ce left Sun Quan to guard Jiangdong, with Zhou Yu as the sacrificial wine military division, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin as generals, and personally led the army of 80,000 to take Xu Zhong.
