Chapter 24 Liu Bei proclaims himself emperor
Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor
October 25th year of Jian'an; Chengdu
On this day, a fast horse suddenly appeared in the city of Chengdu and ran straight to Liu Bei's palace; "There is a messenger outside the king asking to see him," said the palace official
"Let Him In"
"Qi Yu Lord, Gu Luoyang came to report, Cao Pi has usurped the Han Dynasty and called the emperor to change the name of the country to 'Wei', changed the Yuan to the first year of the Huang Dynasty, and abolished the Han Emperor to the Duke of Shanyang" The messenger reported
"Cao Pi Xiaoer, he actually dared to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, when my Han family has no existence" Liu Bei was angry, and then ordered hundreds of officials to hang filial piety, and he cried all day long, so he was worried about the cold, and he couldn't be a director, and the government affairs were handed over to the military advisor Zhuge Liang.
On this day, Zhuge Liang discussed with Taifu Xu Jing and Guanglu Doctor Qian Zhou, saying, "The world can't be without a king for a day, how about we respect the king of Hanzhong as the emperor" Zhou Xu Jing also nodded again and again.
So Zhuge Liang and Xu Jing and other civil and military officials all wrote to persuade Liu Bei to ascend the throne, "You are doing this, aren't you trying to frame Lone to be that disloyal and unrighteous person" Liu Bei said angrily.
"No, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and became independent, the lord is a member of the Han family, you should inherit the unification and continue the Han Dynasty" Zhuge Liang immediately persuaded
"How can Lone follow the example of a traitor," Liu Bei was furious, and left after speaking, leaving the hundred officials unaware
Three days later, Zhuge Liang led all the officials into the official position, and when he saw the queen of Hanzhong, all the officials knelt on the ground; Xu Jing said, "The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty has been killed by Cao Pi, if the lord is not the emperor and raises an army to fight against Cao Pi, he will not be a disloyal and unrighteous person, and if the lord does not listen to the opinions of the ministers, he will lose the popularity of the people."
"Although Lone is the grandson of Emperor Jing, he is no different from ordinary people in the middle of the family, if he is called the emperor, it is the same as Cao Pi's usurpation of the throne."
Zhuge Liang and others have been persuading for a long time, but Liu Bei still did not agree.
Suddenly, Zhuge Liang said to the officials, "There is a way", so he ordered all the officials to disperse; After that, Zhuge Liang couldn't get sick.
Liu Bei personally went to visit "Military Master, your condition has improved, and Lonely is still waiting for you to worry about Lonely."
"I'm worried, time is running out," Zhuge Liang said with his eyes closed
"Why are you worried about something" Liu Bei asked, asked many times in a row, Zhuge Liang was only seriously ill, and did not answer, Liu Bei asked again and again, Zhuge Liang finally couldn't help but speak.
"Since the minister met the lord in the thatched house, he has been following the lord and obeying the lord's words, and now the lord has obtained the place of the two rivers, and it is not in vain that the minister follows; At this moment, Cao Pi usurped the throne, the Han family no longer exists, the civil and military officials, are willing to support the lord to be the emperor, but I didn't expect the lord to resolutely disagree, all the officials are now resentful, and they may have to leave soon, if the civil and military officials are gone, Wu and Wei will attack, how can we keep the two rivers; The minister is grieved at this time."
"It's not that I've been pushing back, but I'm afraid that the world won't accept it," Liu Bei sighed.
"If the name is not right, then the words are not good, and now that the name of the lord is right, who is not convinced" Zhuge Liang continued to ask
"When the military adviser is well, let's talk about the emperor" Liu Bei said, after several months of persuasion, Liu Bei finally agreed, Zhuge Liang suddenly jumped up and tore the screen open, it turned out that all the civil and military officials were hidden behind the screen.
"You are all lonely in a land of injustice," Liu Bei said in surprise
"Please also ask the lord to ascend the throne" Zhuge Liang knelt and bowed, and the officials also knelt and bowed "Please enthrone the lord"
April 12, 24th year of Jian'an; Liu Bei ascended the throne, and the country name Han (because it is located in Bashu, many people are also called Shu Han) changed the first year of Yuan Zhangwu. Liu Chan was appointed as the crown prince, Zhuge Liang was the prime minister, Xu Jing was the situ, and the rest were rewarded; Amnesty to the world.
Zhuge Qiao Barracks; Now there is no one in the entire battalion, and no one knows where they went.
Before Liu Bei ascended the throne, Zhuge Qiao knew the development of things based on historical experience, so he prepared ten military rations before that. When Liu Bei ascended the throne, the officials were very busy, Zhuge Qiao took his three hundred warriors to Langzhong, Zhuge Qiao knew that Liu Bei was going to prepare to attack Wu when he ascended the throne, and Zhang Fei would also go, but unfortunately he was assassinated by the generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, and Liu Bei's arm was broken. So Zhuge Qiao went; One is to join Zhang Fei's army and follow the army to attack Wu, because he can't go to Liu Bei's army, and his father Zhuge Liang is blocking him; The second is for Zhang Fei, because Zhang Fei is getting older and more mature, and he is more and more able to lead troops to fight.
Along the way, Zhuge Qiao used him to forge Zhuge Liang's customs clearance documents, so it was also unimpeded; Wu Tong led a team to open the way, but Zhuge Qiao's "wolf teeth" team was carrying the baggage and continued to train the 'weight-bearing march'; some time ago, Zhuge Qiao's soldiers went through many competitions, but the result was that the second team won the most victories, and they all understood that this was the credit of Jufu, which also made Zhuge Qiao pay more attention to Jufu. And Zhuge Qiao's three teams have been practicing daggers and grappling techniques and a variety of skills necessary for special forces, and after such a long time, the 'wolf teeth' finally reached the intermediate stage of special forces, which also made Zhuge Qiao feel a little relieved, but it was still those thirty-six people, and they did not expand the army anymore.
Chengdu; On the morning of the second day of Liu Bei's ascension to the throne, "I have been righteous since Taoyuan, and I swore to live and die together; Now Yun Chang has been victimized by the treacherous schemes of Eastern Wu, if I don't take revenge, I am not worthy of the throne; I want to raise the army of the country, crusade against the Eastern Wu, and hate it with snow! Liu Bei sat on the throne he had just made and announced the first thing he would do after ascending to the throne.
None of the civil and military officials below admonished or dissuaded them;
Suddenly, Zhao Yun came out and admonished, "The national thief is Cao Pi instead of Sun Quan, today Cao Pi usurped the throne, and the people and gods are angry; Your Majesty can plan Guanzhong as soon as possible, and the troops will be stationed in the upper reaches of the Wei River to fight against the rebels, and the people of the Guandong will inevitably come to welcome the king's division; If there is a war with Eastern Wu, how can the troops be reconciled. May Your Majesty think twice," Zhao Yun stubbornly stepped forward.
"Sun Quan harmed Yun Chang, and there were Fu Shiren, Mi Fang, and Pan Zhang; Only by eating meat and destroying their clan can they hate it," Liu Bei continued to insist angrily
"The enmity of the thief is the enmity of the state, and the enmity of the brother is the enmity of the individual; Please Your Majesty put the world first," Zhao Yun admonished again
Zhuge Liang also persuaded bitterly, Qin Mi said, "Your Majesty, you are the body of ten thousand times, it is not appropriate to drive the expedition in person, you should send a general to fight for Your Majesty"
"I and Yun Chang are one, the righteousness is still there, how can I forget" Liu Bei mentioned Guan Yu again, and his anger was even heavier.
"It's a pity that it's a newly created foundation, and it's going to be ruined again," Qin Mi sighed at the sky.
"If I don't avenge Yun Chang, even if there are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, what can I count" Liu Bei did not listen to the advice of hundreds of officials, and ordered an army to attack Wu.
and sent messengers to Wuxi to borrow 10,000 troops; He also sent an envoy to Langzhong, and named Zhang Fei as the general of the chariot cavalry, the marquis of Xixiang, and the pastor of Langzhong; and ordered Zhang Fei to lead the troops and horses of the Langzhong headquarters to Yong'an to join the Chinese army.
In order to order Zhuge Liang to protect the prince to guard the two rivers, the hussar general Ma Chao and his younger brother Ma Dai, and help the Zhenbei general Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong to block the Wei army; Huwei general Zhao Yun was the follow-up and supervised the grain and grass; Huang Quan is a staff officer; Ma Liang and Chen Zhen management documents; Fu Tong is the pioneer of the front; Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Yi are the lieutenants of the Chinese army; Zhao Rong and Liao Chun were the lieutenants of the rear army.
40,000 lieutenant generals and 20,000 Zhang Fei troops and 10,000 barbarian soldiers and 5,000 sailors, a total of 75,000 sergeants, known as 750,000 troops to the outside world; In May of the first year of Zhangwu, he raised the banner of "righteousness" and set out to conquer Soochow.
On the way from Chengdu to Langzhong, because Langzhong is also within the scope of the Sichuan territory, they have a smooth journey; This army has been on the road for nine days, although it has been so long, the soldiers are still high-spirited, maybe this is Zhuge Qiao's new army training method has been verified, calculate that the distance should be tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Qiao finally saw the head of Langzhong City, and the soldiers cheered forward and couldn't wait to enter the city immediately, and came to the city Zhuge Qiao handed Zhuge Liang's customs clearance documents, and the soldiers saw it and immediately let him go, and then Zhuge Qiao walked towards Zhang Fei's military camp by the people leading the way in front.
