Qingzhou!

"After Zhang Jiao's death, after careful investigation by the princes, it was found that the emperor and his heirs, the concubines in the palace, the eunuchs, and even the high-ranking officials of the court in Luoyang were all dead?" Li Kuan looked at the latest news and muttered, but there was no surprise on his face.

Zhang Jiao, who was infected by filth, no longer has any humanity to speak of, cruel, murderous, and evil, which are all his labels.

In this case, after he occupied Luoyang, he didn't kill the dark, but it didn't look like him.

However, Zhang Jiao's approach also made the big man completely collapse as if he had encountered the last straw that broke the camel's back!

If the high-ranking officials of the imperial court and the royal heirs did not all die, in the face of this situation, even if Liu Hong died, it would not be too important.

After everyone deliberates, they will also launch a puppet to ensure that the Han regime is still there.

But now, Liu Hong and his heirs, that is, his heirs in line to the throne, are dead, and there is a problem!

First of all!

The most important question is, who will inherit the throne?

Although it is a puppet, a puppet cannot be chosen at random, at least it must have a certain status, or to some extent, a certain right of inheritance.

Like Liu Bei, a descendant of the royal family who has been biased to an unknown number of generations, is obviously not qualified to inherit.

And although the royal family is not all in Luoyang, those who have the right to inherit the throne are basically in Luoyang.

Outside of Luoyang, most of them have no inheritance rights.

So, in this case, none of them is the best heir, and it becomes a question of who to inherit!

Secondly!

If a new emperor comes to power, how will the high-ranking officials be arranged?

Now that all the high-ranking officials are dead, everything is reshuffled, and no matter who comes to power, the imperial court must first promote new officials.

And in this case, it must be who supports the new emperor, who will be promoted and given priority to the top.

But everybody wants to be promoted, every family wants to be promoted, and in this case, there will be a situation.

Fragmented!

That is, the families of various places elected different emperors for their own interests.

Everyone wants to control more power, and in this case, it is naturally the emperor who is elected by himself.

When the time comes, you can get whatever position you want

But this will also lead to the emergence of several or even dozens of emperors in the Han Dynasty.

But the problem is back.

How can a country tolerate dozens of emperors?

If that is a country, it will no longer be a country.

Therefore, Li Kuan felt that the Han would completely collapse.

"So... Next, I should support an emperor! Li Kuan muttered, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

Plans can't keep up with the changes.

He originally wanted to be a behind-the-scenes boss by himself, and then let Tai Shi Ci slowly develop, and finally after Tai Shi Ci conquered the world, he reappeared, picked peaches, and obtained this plane.

But now that Liu Hong is dead, and the children of the royal family who have the right to inherit are also dead, we have to change our approach!

For example, support a puppet emperor to appear, and then conquer the world in his name.

In this way, he will also be able to occupy the righteousness and have a legitimate reason to attack other places.

Of course!

You can also conquer the world in your own name.

But in that case, it will definitely become the target of public criticism and add unnecessary trouble.

After all, the Han Dynasty has ruled this land for hundreds of years, and the impression about it is still deeply engraved in people's hearts at this time, and it has not been eliminated.

So!

There is no need!

It's better to nominate a puppet emperor first, attack the world with righteousness, and then take the throne when the world is subjugated.

Better and easier.

"But, speaking of which, now is a good time!"

Li Kuan muttered to himself, "The current princes are just fledgling, although they have gathered soldiers and horses to deal with Zhang Jiao, but those soldiers and horses are also made up temporarily, and the combat power is not much, only a little stronger than gold!" ”

"If I take advantage of this opportunity to attack the surrounding states and counties, there should be no princes who can stop me!"

Thinking about it, Li Kuan felt more and more that this was a good idea.

If the current world is compared to a game of eating chicken, then the princes of the world are the ones who have just landed and have not yet picked up the equipment.

Although he has a certain attack power by relying on his fists, when he encounters a person with a gun, he will stop cooking!

Unfortunately, Li Kuan, who already has a million troops in his hands now, is the one with the gun.

A man with a gun, against a group of princes who don't have guns, then the end is needless to say.

Unless they are on together, it is definitely the one with the gun who wins.

But the question is...

These princes are not single-minded, how can they go together?

The princes are like different teams in a game of chicken, and they are also in competition with each other.

So!

There is little chance that they will join forces.

And now, if Li Kuan takes the opportunity to attack the surrounding states and counties, it will be easy to solve the surrounding princes and occupy one side.

Therefore!

Li Kuan also came up with this idea.

"But speaking of which, I still have a little less soldiers and horses in my hands, one million seems to be more, but among the three kingdoms of gods and demons that are dozens of times the population and tens of thousands of times the size, there are still very few, even if they occupy the territory, there are not enough people to defend it, so they still need to recruit people!"

"It's just... It also takes a certain amount of time to recruit people and train them, and by the time the army is formed, the princes are afraid that they will already be up, so it is okay to recruit people, but you can't just recruit people, you also need a little other means..."

Li Kuan thought about it and quickly thought of a way.

Incorporate the Yellow Turban!

Right now, the corner is gone, but the yellow scarf is not.

In the heyday of the Yellow Turban, there were hundreds of millions of members in this world, and it was impossible for the princes to pay them off all at once.

There are still many Yellow Turbans who have escaped the war, or who have not experienced the war in remote areas at all.

At this time, if a character in the yellow turban stands up, it is easy to incorporate them all.

As for who to stand up and co-opt...

Wu Yisan!

This name immediately appeared in Li Kuan's mind.

He was an undercover agent sent by Li Kuan to investigate the movements of the Yellow Turban, with the fall of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, he came to Luoyang and took refuge in Zhang Jiao, and after Zhang Jiao's death, Li Kuan did not think of arranging where to arrange for him to go, so now he is in Luoyang, in a state of being protected by Tai Shici.

As long as he stands up, as the former leader of the Yellow Turban, he can easily co-opt the Yellow Turban.

And although the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban is not high, there are many people!

There are enough people, Li Kuan can completely command them, and take advantage of the fact that the princes have not really stood up now, clean up the surrounding princes, and capture their territory.

"Moreover, you can also use these yellow scarves as white gloves to get rid of the wealthy families in various states and counties for me!" Li Kuan muttered to himself, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.

What are white gloves?

It is the person who helps the master do the dirty work.

In this world, the wealthy family is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed after all, if they are not solved, then even if they capture the territory, they will not be able to really occupy it.

Therefore, the wealthy family is the person Li Kuan must get rid of.

But the problem is that if the wealthy family is cleaned up for no reason, it is likely to cause a backlash from the entire Han family!

When the time comes, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Although Li Kuan is not afraid of those wealthy families, he can only rely on the power of this network to deal with them when he can't mobilize the power of other planes, which is still a bit stretched.

And with the yellow scarf, it's easy to do!

The Yellow Turban first defeated the local wealthy families and completely cleaned them up, and Li Kuan's army then played a game with the Yellow Turbans under his control, acting a heroic expulsion of bandits.

At that time, not only will you be able to gain fame, but there will no longer be traces of wealthy families in the local area, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

Thinking about it, Li Kuan had an idea for the next development.

Support a puppet emperor, occupy the name of righteousness, attack the states and counties around Qingzhou, occupy its territory, and use the yellow scarf as a white glove during the period to clean up the major families, so as to truly control the territory of various places.
