Chapter 167: Yuan Shu Becomes Emperor
"Brother, now that the merger of the state has been decided, even if Yuan Benchu is afraid of his brother, he will definitely not have a bad relationship with the merger at this time, and his energy is probably focused on the subordinate. The Son of Heaven wanted to cut power from Yuan Benchu, but Yuan Benchu also wanted to be the third duke again, and it was impossible to take care of the annexation of the state in a short period of time. ”
What Wei Tao didn't expect was that at this time, Zhou Yu opened his mouth and said.
"And speaking of Jiangnan, I also wanted to go once, but unfortunately I haven't had time, since my brother is recruiting sailors, why don't I take the place of my brother?"
Wei Tao never thought that Zhou Yu would say this at this time, and even prepared to take it personally.
"Gongjin ......"
Wei Tao didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Huh...... Brother, what I said is also true, I don't know what to say about it, in fact, I am also very interested in the water army, and it just so happens that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River can also see how the Jingxiang water army is. ”
Zhou Yu said with a smile, hearing Zhou Yu say this, Wei Tao didn't want to say anything more, but after thinking about it carefully, Wei Tao found that he wanted to find a general to protect Zhou Yu, but for a while, he didn't know who was good for the Daoist faction.
Although there are many generals under him, there are not many people who can rest assured, and after thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao found a candidate.
"Since Gong Jin wants to go south, let Pan Feng go with him. Pan Feng's martial arts are also first-class, and if there is anything, he can also protect Gong Jin. ”
"So, thank you, brother."
Zhou Yu's heart was also warm, so he didn't make any excuses.
The time will not vary depending on the individual, Wei Tao is recuperating in Bingzhou. But that's not the case in other states.
In particular, Jizhou Yuan Shao was still attacking the Montenegrin Army with all his might. If you want to completely take Jizhou into your hands. But with the decree, I also changed my mind.
Si Li, if you can master Si Li, maybe you can master Chang'an and master the Son of Heaven.
Originally, Yuan Shao was not ready to work for the king, that was because Yuan Shao also knew that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was powerful, and even Lu Bu, who was known as the world's number one general, was defeated and fled, and Yuan Shao was naturally unwilling to lose his troops because of this.
But even Yuan Shao didn't expect that Xiliang Tieqi had fallen to this point in the hands of Li Qi and others. It was so easy to be defeated.
So after that, although he sent his advisers to Chang'an to seek benefits, he was still a little depressed in his heart.
Of course, with the decree coming down, that bit of depression has long been gone.
The meaning of the imperial court Yuan Shao is not ignorant of the Tao, but this temptation is great, if he can master the division and the Son of Heaven, then can he also annex all the soldiers of Kong Rong, is it that even Xuzhou can be directly included in the palm.
If this is the case, Jizhou and Xuzhou are sandwiched on both sides, and Qingzhou will also go down immediately. At that time, Yuan Shao's strength will be strong, but he will have the potential to unify the world.
This temptation is not to be greedy.
So I waited for three months. When it was determined that Wei Tao was no longer able to send troops, and an agreement had been reached with the Montenegrin army, Yuan Shao entered Beijing.
A huge 30,000 people were dialed into Chang'an, and the number of soldiers alone was twice as many as the soldiers in Chang'an.
Now Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops directly from Chang'an, except for the 10,000 soldiers he has just recruited, the elite soldiers in Chang'an belong to the 5,000 cavalry commanded by Tai Shici.
But Rao is a famous general of Tai Shici, and there is a certain gap between the 5,000 cavalry under his command and the soldiers under Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao went straight to Luoyang so mightily, although it was also a little inappropriate, but he had already been ordered to be the general of Anguo, and this time he also led the troops to Chang'an with the holy order, and no one could say anything wrong.
However, the important ministers of the court, such as Wang Yun and others, were obviously prepared for this, and at least there were no words of dissatisfaction from the court.
And the name of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family is indeed different from Dong Zhuo, even if he leads the troops into Chang'an like this, there are not too many twists and turns in the end, but it is a voice of gentlemen and ministers, as if Liu Xie can recover the Han Dynasty after getting the assistance of Yuan Shao.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, even if it is so, it will work."
Wei Tao looked at the information in his hand, and he was also very emotional, if any of the princes acted differently, I am afraid that there would be constant scolding.
But Yuan Shao seems to be like this, but there seems to be nothing wrong, which is really amazing.
"Gongda, I have heard that the Yuan family has two sons, the eldest son Yuan Shu, and the second son is Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are also very incompatible, but why don't you see any actions from Yuan Shu this time? I remember that Yuan Shu likes to compete with Yuan Shao the most, and now Yuan Shao is almost a very human minister, so Yuan Shu is so peaceful? ”
"It's weird."
Hearing Wei Tao's question, Xun You, who was now the only right-hand man left by Wei Tao's side, immediately frowned slightly.
"Don't hide it from the lord, this time Yuan Shao was able to go so smoothly, I'm afraid it's because of that Yuan Shu. I'm afraid that all the important ministers of the world, including Chang'an, all the important ministers of the court have this idea, and after raising Yuan Shao, can Yuan Shu not make trouble? As soon as Yuan Shu makes trouble, won't the Yuan family be split? When the time comes, you can do any strategy, and even take this opportunity to win Yuan Shao's elite soldiers, maybe there will really be Han and Guang Xing. ”
"But this time, Yuan Shu didn't move."
Wei Tao smiled bitterly, Wei Tao was very clear about the contradiction between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and now Yuan Shu is like this, which is indeed very unusual.
"Gongda, why do you say Yuan Shu would stop? The nature of the country is easy to change, not to mention that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have been fighting for the power of the Yuan family. I don't believe that Yuan Shu is so open-minded and gives up. But I just don't see any bad news coming from Huainan, besides that, what else can make Yuan Shu like this? ”
"This ......"
Rao is Xun Yu is the world's top strategist, boasting that he has many things under control, and he became dumb when he heard Wei Tao ask this, and after thinking for a long time, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Lord Qi, I really don't know. Maybe Yuan Shu really changed his temper. ”
It will be to let Xun Yu say so. Obviously, this matter was also very unexpected by Xun Yu. That's all I can say.
Wei Tao and Xun You couldn't discuss a result, and similarly, all the heroes in the world who knew about the affairs of the Yuan family also couldn't discuss a result.
Even Yuan Shao himself felt very strange, and many of the precautions he had taken were useless.
Of course, Yuan Shu's lack of action is indeed a good thing for Yuan Shao, he can use his energy to control Chang'an, and in fact, Yuan Shao will take over the protection of the outer city of Chang'an. Then he directly sent troops to strangle and still entrenched in Sili Li to urge the defeated army.
This time, it was obvious that Yuan Shao had made great efforts, and in just one month, the defeated army of Li Xun and others was directly swept away, allowing Yuan Shao to regain his credit.
It's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God, obviously this time Yuan Shao will not retreat easily, in fact, in less than half a year, Yuan Shao has gradually controlled Chang'an, and even has the intention of not wanting to meet the Son of Heaven.
coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Yuan Shao gradually had this trend.
What the Son of Heaven did was to lure the wolf into the room. If it weren't for the fact that Kong Rong was indeed loyal to the king, he never left Chang'an. At this time, it is not impossible for Chang'an to be controlled by Yuan Shao again.
But at this time, a shocking news came out.
"Yuan Shu is the emperor!"
Receiving this news, Wei Tao was extremely surprised.
Yuan Shu turned out to be the emperor directly in Shouchun, and the jade seal of the country was in his hands, and he returned from the mandate of heaven to be the emperor.
Although Yuan Shu was indeed the emperor in history, at that time, the heroes had already begun to compete for the world, and even the orders of the Son of Heaven were mostly disobeyed.
Now the majesty of the Han family is also a sweep, but at least Wei Tao, Cao Cao and other princes still obey the orders of the Han family on the surface.
More importantly, the current Han Dynasty is not as without a single soldier as in history, and the 5,000 cavalry under Kong Rong is now firmly in the hands of the imperial court.
In such a situation, it is actually the emperor?
"Yuan Shu, he's crazy!"
Even Wei Tao couldn't help but come to such a conclusion.
"When Yuan Shu does this, doesn't he make himself a target for the people of the world? With Dong Zhuo's power in the past, he just dared to abolish the Son of Heaven to demonstrate his authority, and he didn't dare to be the emperor himself, how could Yuan Shu dare to be like this? Just by virtue of the sentence 'Those who represent the Han should be Tu Gao'? ”
"No wonder Yuan Shu hasn't made any moves for a while ago, I'm afraid that in Yuan Shu's opinion, he is already preparing to be the emperor, and Yuan Shao is just a supreme minister, and he can't be compared with it, it's really arrogant!"
Xun You sighed lightly, already understanding why Yuan Shu would act like before, but after sighing, Xun You was more depressed, and the majesty of the Han was gone.
However, Xun Yu is worthy of being a top strategist, even at this time, his mind is still scheming, but after a while, he said to Wei Tao.
"Lord, now Yuan Shao's situation is difficult. The reason why Yuan Shao was able to easily control the government in Chang'an, even if the Son of Heaven had important ministers, even if Kong Rong led 5,000 cavalry to defend the imperial city, it was useless, it was because the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, the protégés were all over the world, and everyone in the world said that he was a virtuous minister, and he could help the Ming Lord to prosper with Han and light. And with the foundation of Jizhou and the Yuan family, even if there is a drought in Sili, there will not be many problems with the supply of grain and grass, but you can seek fame for personal gain, which is indeed a calculation. ”
"Huh...... I already understand the meaning of Gongda. ”
Wei Tao smiled slightly and continued.
"Now that Yuan Shu is doing this, the Yuan family has become a chaotic minister and thief, even if it is the fourth generation and the third duke, and the protégés are all over the world, at this time, it will be greatly discounted because of Yuan Shu's behavior."
"Yes, there are only two ways in front of Yuan Shao now, one is to directly expel Yuan Shu from the Yuan family, and then immediately send troops to quell the rebellion. Although the Yuan family's lost prestige will not make up for it, but with this righteous extermination of relatives, it is not difficult for Yuan Shao to become a very popular minister. ”
Speaking of this, Xun You paused slightly, and his face showed a complicated and incomprehensible look, but he still continued.
"Another way is to unite with Yuan Shu to abolish the Son of Heaven, and then the Yuan family will conquer the world."
Xun You still has a loyal heart in his heart, so he doesn't want to say more about it.
"Gongda, what do I want? Yangzhou is too far away, even if I want to go south, I can't get it, not to mention that the strength in my hands is not enough now. ”
Wei Tao smiled slightly bitterly and asked Xun You.
"Can you only post an article to denounce it?"
"Lord, Yuan Shu took his own death, why should the lord go south in person? However, it is time for the lord to recruit more soldiers to form an army. ”
Although Xun You felt uncomfortable because of this news, he still fulfilled his duties as a strategist.
"The world is in turmoil again, and the conquests of all parties are also endless, whether it is to support the Han family or to expel foreign races, the lord needs to master the military power to control the world."
Wei Tao nodded slightly, and then thought about it.
Yuan Shu's self-reliance had a great impact, and all the princes in the world wrote to denounce it.
But this had almost no impact on Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Shu repeatedly sent holy decrees to reward the princes from all walks of life.
Even Wei Tao was on the tenth day of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor, and Wei Tao also received a reward 'holy decree' from Yuan Shu.
I have to say that Yuan Shu is quite generous, and he directly sealed Wei Tao with the title of a general who conquered the north.
It's a pity that Yuan Shu is such a rebellious holy decree, how could Wei Tao accept it, and directly ordered someone to beat Yuan Shu's envoy out of the mess.
At this time, Yuan Shao also directly rejected Yuan Shu's 'holy decree' to make him a general, and at the same time, in order to show his heart to the world, Yuan Shu finally desperately announced that he would send troops to recruit Yuan Shu.
And with Yuan Shao preparing to send troops and Kong Rong, Kong Rong was on the order of the Son of Heaven to go on the expedition, this time not only to eradicate Yuan Shu's rebellion, but also to show the world that the Han family has not fallen to this point.
At the same time, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, still gave Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and Tian Kai of Qingzhou all ordered them to march together and encircle Yuan Shu on all sides.
Although it may not be willing to fight with Yuan Shu and lose the army, when receiving the holy decree, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Tian Kai all have the action of transferring troops, especially Liu Biao, who is Chen Bing at the border, ready to enter Yangzhou at any time.
Yuan Shu was arrogant, even in the face of such a situation, it was still the case, at this time, the king of a country still issued a holy decree to reprimand the princes of all walks of life for committing crimes, rebellion and rebellion, and asking all the princes to surrender immediately.
"I didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so arrogant."
After getting the news, Wei Tao could only shake his head and sigh secretly, but soon Wei Tao put his energy on other things.
Because as the months passed, the others returned one after another.
(Thank God?) Ye No Wukong's reward, and thank you for the support of other book friends, thank you! (To be continued......)
