Chapter 583: Yuan Shu Becomes Emperor
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was welcomed back to Xuchang by Cao Cao, and since then Xuchang has been known as the capital of Xu. Yuan Shao was a little anxious in his heart, so he repaired a book and handed it to Yuan Shu, who was in Huainan, the two of them were half-brothers, as the saying goes, good fighting brothers go into battle father and son soldiers, as the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family should be said to be the tutor of the brother and the younger brother.
On the letter, Yuan Shao wanted to establish Liu Yu, the former assassin of Youzhou in the Han Dynasty, as the emperor, the purpose of which was to control the development of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has recruited troops and developed very rapidly in recent years, and almost became one of the hot princes, but Cao Cao's position is just in the middle of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao hopes to get Yuan Shu's support. In this way, the two families joined forces to support Liu Yu as the emperor, and they could form a north-south jurisdiction over Cao Cao.
Yuan Shu scoffed at Yuan Shao's proposal, Yuan Shu, who had the jade seal of the country in his hand, saw the decline of the Han family, and had already had a heart of self-reliance with different aspirations, and was unwilling to support the adult emperor of the Han Dynasty. Another point is that Yuan Shao, you are just a concubine, what right do you have to command him, a concubine. Yuan Shao's power grew bigger and bigger, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the first prince of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu thought about it and disagreed with Yuan Shao's proposal under the pretext of justice, and the two brothers turned their faces because of their grievances.
Seeing that Yuan Shu wanted to capture Xuzhou, Yuan Shu sent Wen Chou to lead 50,000 troops to reconcile, so that Yuan Shu could only withdraw his troops back to Huainan after a few months of hard work in vain. The grudge between the two brothers is getting bigger and bigger, but fortunately, there is still Cao Cao's chassis in the middle, and there is a buffer zone, so the two brothers did not fight.
Yuan Shao's subordinates were like clouds and military generals were like rain, knowing that it was only a matter of time before Yuan Shu would turn against their lord, so he sent envoys to form an alliance with Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Tao Qian, and for a time Yuan Shu was in an isolated state of affairs, and Yuan Shu, who learned the news, was so angry that he scolded: "Do these vertical sons not follow me, but follow my slaves?" ”
Yuan Shu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he formed an alliance with Zhang Ji, Gongsun Zhan, Beihai Kong Rong, Xiliang Ma Teng, and Han Sui, not only that, but he also secretly sent Yan Xiang to Luoyang to meet Lu Bu, wanting Lu Bu to send troops to attack Yuan Shao.
"Someone is coming—untie General Wei Yan!" Wei Yanzi is long, and in history, he was a famous general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, and was deeply valued by Liu Bei. At the beginning, the land of Jingzhou where Liu Bei Shiwei lived was leased by Eastern Wu, and the military advisor Zhuge Liang decided to take the land of Bashu as development, and when Liu Bei led the army into Sichuan, Wei Yan led his troops to surrender to Liu Bei. And after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he was promoted to the general of Zhenyuan and the Taishou of Hanzhong, and became the general of the only party, guarding Hanzhong for ten years. After Liu Bei ascended the throne, he worshiped General Zhenbei. With Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he worshiped the history of Liangzhou Thorn, sealed the capital Tinghou, and broke Fei Yao and Guo Huai in Yangxi. Due to the long-term confrontation between Wei and Shu, Wei Yan planned to personally lead his troops and horses to attack Guanzhong from the Meridian Road, imitating the story of Han Xin, a general in the early Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang to join Tongguan, but was opposed by the cautious Zhuge Liang.
Among them, it is recorded in the romance that when Wei Yan surrendered to Liu Bei for the first time, Zhuge Liang said that Wei Yan had a backbone in the back of his head, and he would definitely rebel in the future, so he asked the knife and axe man to drag Wei Yan out and behead him. Liu Bei was so loving that he couldn't bear to kill Wei Yan, so he saved Wei Yan's life, and then Wei Yan fought bravely, and his personality was arrogant and he was at odds with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and Changshi Yang Yi. After Zhuge Liang's death, no one could make Wei Yan jealous, so the conflict between Wei Yan and Yang Yi intensified, and finally Wei Yan lost the battle, was chased by Ma Dai, and wiped out the three clans. In this way, Wei Yan also fell into the reputation of an anti-bone boy, and now only he can enter Zhou Yu's eyes. 19th Floor Literature
"General Wei Yan - General Jiuyang's name, the general is a tiger descending from the mountain, Zilong made this strategy to bind the general, and Zhou Mou's ancestor Zilong will pay for it!" Zhou Yu personally untied Wei Yan, and in the big tent, Dian Wei, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others were lined up on the left and right, while Guo Jia was sitting on the desk next to him shaking a black feather fan.
"Lord Zhou is really a good means - but Wei is really dissatisfied with being taken down like this, Lord Zhou personally loosens the ties for a certain family, because he wants Wei to serve Lord Zhou. However, can Lord Zhou hear a sentence, that is, there are endless troubles after the tiger returns to the mountain? I saw that Wei Yan's voice suddenly attacked Zhou Yu, this incident made the faces of the generals present change greatly, especially Dian Wei was about to kill Wei Yan, at this time Guo Jia coughed, and shook the black feather fan to signal them to be restless.
Zhou Yu is dressed in a strong suit but does not wear armor, Wei Yan is in armor from being captured to the present, plus he has also been hungry for a day, his strength is a little soft, and he has a strange move to restrain Zhou Yu and then the Yangzhou army will throw a mouse taboo, so that he can also take a bad breath of his own anger, the key is whether Zhou Yu is worth his own service, and now he is still hesitating, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao are the first choice in his heart.
As soon as he fought Wei Yan, he suddenly felt that he had miscalculated, he thought that Zhou Yu was a weak scholar, since Zhou Yu wanted to tame this fierce horse, he had to have some real skills, and as soon as he made a move, it was a face-to-face punch, his dark strength had reached a double strength, and the double strength was that Dian Wei could hold it, and after the two punched each other fiercely, what made everyone stunned was that Wei Yan took ten steps directly on his back legs before he could stand, but he didn't care about it for a moment, Wei Yan suddenly knelt on the ground and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"General Wei—are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Yu stood in front of Wei Yan with a smile, but this sentence was very shocking in Wei Yan's ears, what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yu was not an embroidered pillow, it turned out to be a hidden master.
"Wei didn't mean to offend Lord Zhou, and asked Lord Zhou to atone for his sins! Wei is willing to lead the horse for Lord Zhou in this life and this life, and ask Lord Zhou to accept the sin of Wei Yan! Wei Yan's actions were unexpected by everyone, he took the initiative to kneel on his knees after being injured by Zhou Yu, Wei Yan is actually not bad, at most he is arrogant, what can make him happy and convincing is not that Zhou Yu injured him, but that Zhou Yu can tolerate his surprise attack and not change his face, and there are at least five generals around him who can fight with him, which can only show one point, that is, Zhou Yu wants to subdue himself, and he also guessed that his calculations are all in the eyes of the other party, such a lord If he doesn't know the current affairs, Then what awaits you is really dead.
After subduing Wei Yan, he suggested that Zhou Yu cut off Li Yu's grain route by taking the back road, so that Li Yu's army would undoubtedly be defeated, but Zhou Yu and their side had not yet formulated a battle plan. Yuan Shu finally couldn't bear the loneliness, and there happened to be a Taoist who told Yuan Shu's fortune, saying that he had the emperor's life, and the fire should be the Red Emperor. Yuan Shu, who had long been holding the jade seal of the country in his hand, was itching in his heart, and the dragon robe, honor guard, etc. had already been prepared.
When he was sleepy, he sent the city head, this Taoist priest chose an auspicious day for Yuan Shu, and also built a throne altar for him in Huainan, Huainan Yuan Shu has built a palace, everything is ready after Yuan Shu passed down the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the edict is covered with the big seal of the jade seal of the country. A month later, Huainan ascended the throne and invited all princes to worship the Red Emperor.
