Chapter 278: Guandu

Yuan Shao established the Great Zhou Dynasty based on Youzhou, Jizhou, Sili Luoyang, Yuzhou, Gunzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou. is stronger than Yuan Shu, who only founded half of Yangzhou.

However, Yuan Shao reigned for five days, Yuan Shang reigned for one day, Yuan Tan reigned for three days, and Yuan Xi reigned for four days.

However, the record continued, and with Guo Tu and Xin Ping announcing Jiao Feng's succession, the Great Zhou Dynasty became the only country that inherited the throne without royal blood, creating a historical precedent, guiding the direction for many later dynasties and citing it as a classic argument for seeking to usurp the throne.

It seems that Jiao touched such a person, who was not well known, and even he himself never had the slightest idea of being an emperor. Therefore, when the announcement was issued, the fifth emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty fainted with excitement at that time.

Xin Ping and Guo Tu glanced at Jiao Touch with disdain, and said in their hearts that they would let you be happy for a few days first, and after defeating Gao Mengyan, they couldn't help but clean you up.

Subsequently, everyone hurriedly woke up Jiao Touch, and put the half-incomplete Jiao Touch, put on the dragon robe with seven hands and eight feet, and put it on the dragon platform. Guo Tu took the lead, and everyone plus more than a dozen eunuchs, a total of more than 20 people, knelt down and bowed, which was considered to be the enthronement.

The old eunuch couldn't help muttering: "Such a simple ascension to the throne has also broken the historical record!" ”

However, the country is already on the brink of crisis, and everything is simple.

After the anxiety stabilized, he didn't know what to do, so he looked at Guo Tu and Xin Ping stupidly, and said, "Two adults, ......." He suddenly realized, and then he reluctantly made a majestic appearance, and said: "Two Aiqing, I have full authority to appoint you to be responsible for the internal and external affairs of our Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

The old eunuch fainted when he heard this. said to the little eunuchs: "Yes, as soon as you ascend the throne, you will take the initiative to hand over power!" ”

The little eunuchs pursed their lips and snickered, saying in their hearts that they had never seen such a stupid emperor, even if they were puppet Han Tianzi, they were thinking about how to seize power all day long. You look at the people, take the initiative to hand it over.

However, it's not that Jiao Touch doesn't want rights, it's that he doesn't know how to do things, so he can only hand it over to others.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that you have eyesight.

So, Guo Tu and Xin Ping issued an order in place of Emperor Jiao Touch, first of all. Naturally, it is the plump and broken Great Zhou court.

However, the current court of the Great Zhou Dynasty is full of calculations, and there are only eight people: Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cen Bi, Cui Yan, Wang Xiu, and Jiang Gan. However, fewer people are good appointments.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping held the heart of winning over these few courtiers, and rewarded Jiao Touch.

Guo Tu appointed himself prime minister, and Xin Ping appointed himself as a general. He canonized Cui Yan as a lieutenant and Jiang Gan as Situ. Wang Xiu is commonplace. Wei Xu was a general of the chariot cavalry, Song Xian was a general of the hussars, and Cen Bi was a general of Wei. They are all big officials, and they are more than three dukes.

Everyone was overjoyed, Wei Xu and Song Xian didn't expect that they could be such a big official, so they hurriedly knelt down.

Jiang Gan was also secretly happy. The heart said that this is good, and finally it has become a world of three dukes, and in the future, my Jiang family is also the home of the three dukes, and I didn't come here in vain. Jiang Gan's biggest dream in this life is to be able to become the third duke. In his opinion, the Great Zhou Dynasty is also a serious dynasty, he has studied historical records, and the three dukes like himself can be recorded in history.

Jiang Gan was overjoyed, and after becoming the third duke, he had other ideas.

Cui Yan and Wang Xiu were not as happy as Jiang Gan. Cui Yan hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister and General, how can you resist Gao Mengyan's attack?" ”

Guo Tu said: "Yan Rou and Tian Yu, two traitors, are attacking Luoyang. Tiger Prison Pass and Guandu are still in our hands, and the general and I will lead our troops to Tiger Prison and Guandu. Withdraw the soldiers and horses in Luoyang and defend the Tiger Prison and Guandu. Then he sent an envoy to Liu Biao and asked him to send troops to help defend Xuchang. ”

Xin commented: "If you hold these two places, you can be stable, and after you are stable, you will talk about counterattacks." ”

And the crowd felt that this was all there was to it.

So, Xin Ping and Guo Tu asked Jiao to take the two of them and the three generals Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Cen Bi to Guandu to arrange a defensive line. Why do you want to bring Jiao Touch, first, I haven't seen him as an emperor take it seriously, and secondly, there are not many generals left, and Jiao Touch also has some generals, which need to play a role.

Guo Tu sent Jiang Gan to find Liu Biao, and Jiang Gan's eyes rolled, and he said with a righteous look: "Weichen is willing to go to serve in front of the army, although he has no regrets in death!" ”

Guo Tu was pleased, so he sent Wang Xiu to Jingzhou.

Ten days later, Wang Xiu returned in embarrassment, Liu Biao did not send reinforcements, because in the battle of Luoyang in the past, Liu Biao lost 200,000 soldiers and horses, only the strength of the garrison, and the attack was insufficient, so he refused. In addition, Liu Biao's health has been weak recently, and he feels that his destiny is coming to an end, and he is preparing for the future, where he can still take care of Guo Tu, who is not on the stage.

After Guo Tu and Xin Ping got the news, they had already led an army of 200,000 and stationed in the Guandu barrier built by Cao Cao. Hearing this, I was terrified, but the matter had come to this point, and I could only resist the 300,000 Gao Yuan army outside.

And Zhang Liaobu, the Gaoyuan army that had been stationed in Hefei, threatened Xuchang at all times, so Guo Tu sent Cen Bi to lead 50,000 people and withdraw to Xuchang to arrange defense.

On the other hand, twenty miles outside the Guandu barrier, there is a lofty camp.

Inside the big tent, Gao Yuan was listening to Guo Jia's report.

Overall, the situation is very good. If it is compared with the heyday of Cao Cao in later generations, it is almost impossible to seize Yuzhou and march to Xiangyang.

Due to the capture of Luoyang and the control of Hefei, the border line of Gaoyuan to meet the enemy was sharply reduced, and the troops were reorganized and surrendered, and for a time, 500,000 troops were about to gather in Guandu. And in the direction of Hefei there are 100,000, garrisoning Jiangdong. There are 100,000 in the direction of Hanzhong, guarding Xichuan.

For a time, Gao Yuan completely replaced the Yuan family, and the momentum of strength was unparalleled in the world.

Therefore, the ministers who sat down were very excited, and after so many years of hard training in Bingzhou, they finally played. And, as soon as it came out, it was in full bloom, and the Yuan dynasty was directly buried.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, Jiao touched the throne and became the emperor, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others resisted stubbornly in the Guandu barrier. ”

When Gao Yuan heard that Jiao Feng had ascended the throne and became emperor, he sighed, and said in his heart that anyone can be the emperor in these years. He played a lot of Three Kingdoms games in later generations, and the generals in that game were more complete than in history, and they all had legends. However, if it weren't for Jiao Tu's ascension to the throne at this moment, there would really be no such person in his mind.

The ministers were also embarrassed, they had never seen such a throne.

Gao Yuan thought about it, this Guandu barrier was built by Cao Cao, so he couldn't help asking: "Fengxiao, you must be very familiar with this Guandu barrier, right?" ”

As soon as Guo Jia heard it, he knew what it meant. (To be continued......)
