Chapter 203: Liding IV
————————————
Indeed, all the generals in the hall were the first generals to go to Montenegro this time, and they would lead the troops to set off after the feast. But now that something big has happened, if they don't let them know the reason, I'm afraid that they will all be absent-minded, and they will never forget what Guo Jia just said about Liu Biao's claim to be emperor, and they will inevitably delay the business.
Therefore, Li Li was willing to satisfy the curiosity of the generals, so he simply did not read the book, and listened to Guo Jia's narration with the generals, saving trouble. After all, this is not an unspeakable secret, and in a few days it will be known, and it will be known with a little attention, and there is no need to hide it at all.
"Since the lord has an order, the micro-minister should report it truthfully." Guo Jia happily agreed.
After a pause, Guo Jia did not directly state the content of the book, but continued Li Li's words just now, and answered Li Li's question first: "The lord just mentioned Liu Biao's age, saying that he is nearly seventy years old, and as far as Wei Chen knows, the lord overestimated Liu Jingsheng's lifespan. Nowadays, Liu Biao is sixty and two, which is far from the age of Gu Xi, even so, it is said that Liu Biao's health has been greatly inferior recently. In addition, after careful investigation, the Jiangdong assassins were very rampant last year, and they assassinated Liu Biao several times, for which Liu Biao's left arm was injured by a poisoned arrow, and since then he has left the root of the disease, and he will attack every time it is windy and rainy, and the pain is unbearable. Since the ancient road has been rare for seventy years, with Liu Biao's physical condition, Weichen dares to assert that he will not live to the age of ancient rare. ”
Li Li smiled and bowed: "It's already very good to live to be sixty-two years old, many people nowadays even if they are in a big family, there are few old people who can live to be sixty years old, Liu Biao ascended the throne at the age of sixty-two and became the emperor, and people are not old." It can be said that people are full of strength in their twilight years, and perhaps he can be regarded as the first person in history. ”
Guo Jia looked stunned. After being slightly stunned, he smiled and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. If it weren't for the lord's reminder. Weichen almost forgot that in the more than 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has really been no emperor over 60 years old who has ascended the throne, Liu Biao is the first, perhaps the last emperor of the Liu Dynasty, or the king of the dead country. ”
Li Li shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The destruction of the Han family is not on Liu Biao's head, he is just at the right time, and he is forced to do it. Now that Cao Cao established the Northern Wei Dynasty, if Liu Biao does not stand up. The Han family is equivalent to complete annihilation, and if he stands up at this time, it means that there is still hope for the Han family. As little hope as possible, it is better to have hope than to despair. There is no shortage of lucky people in the world. ”
Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully, and then glanced at Jia Xu, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Indeed, as the lord said, Liu Biao's ascension to the throne and title of emperor this time was a fluke, and he mistakenly thought that the people and scholars in the world still have their hearts set on the Han family. He was willing to risk the disapproval of the world, claiming to inherit the imperial system, taking the Zhongxing Han family as his own responsibility, and announcing the world to recruit talents. This move is indeed speculative. is no different from a gambler, I think he just wants to use the few remaining remnants of his life to make a desperate bet and give it a go.
It's a pity. He was called emperor at this time, which is tantamount to self-isolation from the world. Neither Cao Cao nor our Western Liang Army could tolerate him, the so-called 'orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty'. Therefore, he thought that he had won one of the three points of the world, but he did not know that his existence had already affected the rule of Cao Cao in Hebei. If it weren't for the fact that my Xiliang Army was in the middle of their two forces, I was afraid that Cao Cao would have already attacked Liu Jingsheng. ”
Li Li bowed slightly, thought about it and said: "Liu Biao ascended the throne at this time because he wanted to reappear in Guangwu Zhongxing and be the second Guangwu Emperor. It's a pity that he overestimated himself and was too self-righteous, how could he be compared with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu? Not to mention how eloquent Liu Xiu is, just in terms of age, Liu Xiu was only twenty-six years old when he joined the army, a difference of thirty-six years, how can Liu Biao be compared to his old age? ”
Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the generals in the hall bowed their heads in contemplation, so he didn't say anything more, signaling that Guo Jia was waiting.
Guo Jia nodded lightly in understanding, and said loudly: "The announcement that Liu Biao sent people to Nanyang this time is no different from the announcement of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Half a month ago, Liu Biao sacrificed to heaven and earth in Xiangyang, rebuilt the temple, inherited the emperor's unity, ascended the throne and called the emperor, followed the country name 'Han', set the capital of Xiangyang, and respected the ninety-five, and ruled the world.
At the enthronement ceremony, Liu Biaoci named Cai as the queen, posthumously called the Han Emperor Liu Xie as the Han Xian Emperor, posthumously called Sun Ce as the king of Wu, and his son Shao inherited the prince, and crowned Cai Mao as the hussar general, Cheng Pu as the general of the chariot cavalry, Liu Pan as the general of Wei, Huang Zu as the former general, Huang Gai as the right general, Han Dang as the left general, Zhang Yun as the rear general, and the remaining more than 100 generals of the Jingzhou and Jiangdong armies worshiped the general and the marquis, and there were more than 200 miscellaneous generals.
Eleven people, including Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, and Yu Tuo, were listed as ministers, and the remaining civil officials of Jingzhou and Jiangdong counties were rewarded. It is worth noting that after Liu Biao ascended the throne and became emperor, he still used the name of Jian'an, but the people used to call the Han dynasty 'Eastern Han', but now it has been changed to 'Southern Han'. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, turned his head to look around at the generals beside him, and then looked up at Li Li, but saw Li Li shaking his head slightly, signaling him to continue.
"Ten days ago, Liu Biao's new chief bookkeeper, oh no, the new Shangshulang Pang Tong sent an envoy to Nanyang, presenting Liu Biao's handwritten letter, which was forwarded by General Bocai to the lord's ??????"
"Wait!" Li Li suddenly interrupted Guo Jia's words, and said in a deep voice: "The envoy of Jingzhou is Pang Tong, is Pang Shiyuan of Xiangyang Pang Tong?" ”
Guo Jia replied inexplicably: "Exactly." Pang Tong, the word Shiyuan, Jingzhou Xiangyang people, studied under Jingzhou famous scholar Pang Degong, was known as the 'phoenix chick' by Pang Degong, it is said that this person and the main righteous brother Zhuge Liang went out of the same door, Pang De called Kong Ming 'Wolong'. It is rumored in Xiangyang that Mr. Shuijing Sima Decao once claimed that 'Sleeping dragons and phoenixes can settle the world with one', so Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang became famous in Jingzhou and became famous at a young age. Three years ago, Pang Tong came out of office, served as Xiangyang City Gongcao, last year was recommended to Liu Biao by Mr. Shuijing Sima Decao, and then won Liu Biao's weight, coinciding with Jingzhou Liu Xian's envoy Jiangdong was killed, so he took over Liu Xian as the chief secretary of Jingzhou, and is now Shang Shulang, acting as Shang Shuling. The previous Liu Biao sent an envoy to deliver books and gave a large amount of wealth, and his messenger was Pang Tong. ”
Li Li nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "Feng Xiao Pang Tong, Kong Ming once talked about this person, and he respected him very much, saying that he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and his talent is not inferior to himself. I don't think about it, he actually went out under Liu Biao, and he also sent an envoy to Nanyang, what did he want? After a pause, Li Li hurriedly said: "Can Bo Cai temporarily detain this person?" ”
"This 、、、" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and said truthfully: "Since ancient times, the two countries have not fought each other, and General Bocai has never embarrassed Pang Tong. After leaving Liu Biao's letter of state, it is said that he stayed in Wancheng for two days before returning to Jingzhou. ”
"Uh, are you leaving? That's it, those who don't know are not to blame. Li Li replied casually, but his face showed a disappointed expression that could not be concealed, so he waved his hand and motioned for Guo Jia to continue.
Guo Jia could see that his lord seemed to care about Pang Tong very much, but it was too late to say anything now, and Bo Cai had already let Pang Tong go, so he couldn't help it. Immediately, Guo Jia abandoned distracting thoughts, and continued: "Liu Biao claimed in the book that the lord is loyal to the Han family, a pillar of the Han Dynasty, and has devoted himself to assisting the Han family for many years to maintain the orthodoxy of the Han family, and is really a model for the world. It is to Liu Biao to seal the lord to continue to serve as a general, the official position and title remain unchanged, and reward 、、、, give the lord 30,000 gold, 3,000 horses of silk, hope that the lord will continue to support the Han family, and on the day of success, he is willing to rule the world with the lord. In addition, Liu Biao rewarded us one by one, and all of them were added to the official ranks, and nothing was missed. ”
At this point, Guo Jia stated the book in front of Li Li in detail, and explained it in the meantime, which can be described as extremely detailed. After finishing speaking, Guo Jia didn't say anything more, bowed down with Jia Xu and stepped aside, and sat down gently, lest he disturb Li Li's thinking.
Liu Biao put on a top hat for Li Li in the book, and also gave a lot of money, what he wanted to do Li Li knew well, this kind of trick was at most to coax a three-year-old child, and it was useless to Li Li. In addition, after Liu Biao ascended the throne as emperor, he also tried his best to show favor to him, which allowed Li Li to guess how much he was thinking, it was obvious that Liu Biao did not dare to tear his face with him, and did not have the courage to fight him head-on, and the so-called inheritance of orthodoxy was actually to seek self-preservation.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Li smiled contemptuously: "In four months, two emperors and two kingdoms have appeared in the world, the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north, and the Southern Han Dynasty in the south. This is the situation, you have a good plan, where should we go from here? ”
"Woooo Before Li Li's words fell, there was a mixed sound in the hall, and then more than 30 generals, Guo Jia and Jia Xu got up and walked to the center of the hall together, and knelt down in unison: "We and others jointly admonish, respectfully invite the lord to enter the throne of the Ninety-Five, and reign over the world!" ”
Just now, Li Li saw that Guo Jia and Jia Xu seemed to have a plot to sing and harmonize, and sure enough, the reason why they repeatedly provoked the feelings of the generals in the hall was to promote the generals to jointly persuade them. In the past three years, he has had to face more than three joint persuasions every year, the largest of which was a joint petition by tens of thousands of civil and military officials, supporting him to be enthroned as emperor and change the Yuan Dynasty and open the country. But without exception, they were all rejected or shirked by Li Li.
Especially after Cao Cao established the Northern Wei Dynasty, the reason why Li Li stayed in Bingzhou and was reluctant to return to Chang'an was actually for this endless joint persuasion. Instead of painstakingly persuading the hundreds of officials under his command, it is better to stay in Bingzhou to be clean, at least without much effort.
In fact, Li Li is not without the heart of an emperor, but he thinks that the current ascension to the throne and being the emperor is tantamount to a clown jumping off the beam, and the world is divided into three parts, what kind of emperor is he. In other words, once he became emperor, there were three emperors in the world, each guarding his own territory, so what difference did it make if he was not an emperor?
