Zhang He's official allegiance represents that Liu Xie finally has the first batch of his own strength in this troubled era.

Not only Zhang He, but also the thousand forbidden troops under him.

These forbidden troops were originally the defenders of Jizhou, and they all followed Zhang He to the battlefield and fought, so it goes without saying that their loyalty is not bad, and their combat power is also good.

Although more than 1,000 people are nothing, it already makes Liu Xie very excited.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhang He asked Liu Xie, his tone was worried, "You also said that Yuan Shao has a heart of disobedience, and Jizhou is not a place to stay for a long time after all." ”

Since you choose to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, you naturally have to consider the Son of Heaven.

Although I don't know why Liu Xie said that Yuan Shao has a heart of disobedience, His Majesty must have his reason for saying this, and Zhang He will not think much about it.

Liu Xie sighed when he heard this: "Why don't I want to leave, but if there is chaos today, the Han family is declining, and the heroes are divided, where can I go?" ”

"What's more, now that I am in Yecheng, how can Yuan Shao let me go?"

Zhang He was suddenly dumbfounded.

Yes, not to mention whether you can escape, even if you can escape from Yuan Shao, where can you go?

"You don't have to worry, although Yuan Shao is ambitious, but at the moment he doesn't dare to be disrespectful to me, I am safe for the time being."

"It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to accumulate strength, contact those old ministers who are still loyal to the Han family, and wait until the time comes in the future to fight against the traitors, so that my Han family can regain its sight!"

Liu Xie patted Zhang He's shoulder and began to draw cakes for him.

Zhang He was convinced of this, nodded heavily, and said, "Listen to Your Majesty!" ”

"Alright, you go get busy first."

"The last will retire!"

After Zhang He finished saluting, he turned around and strode away.

Liu Xie looked at Zhang He's departing back, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but show a happy smile.

So, which corner of Yuan Shao should be dug next time?

……

The canonization edict for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu was soon issued.

In fact, this doesn't need Liu Xie's purpose at all, and he doesn't even need to write it by hand, from writing to publishing, Yuan Shao directly handles it.

With the canonization of the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shao officially led the Jizhou Mu from the general of the Che Cavalry, and was promoted to the general and concurrently served as the Great Sima.

In the Han Dynasty, this has almost reached the extreme of courtiers!

With these two positions, Yuan Shao could legitimately recruit troops and expand the army, and at the same time be able to recruit other forces.

On the other hand, the edict of canonizing Yuan Shu was also sent to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is now occupied by Yuan Shu, which is where its base camp is located.

Since ancient times, Yangzhou has been the richest state in the world, known as the "granary of the world", and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

Jiujiang County, Shou County.

"Eight hundred miles expedited! Eight hundred miles in an expedited!"

At dusk, the city gate of Shou County is about to close.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from outside the city accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.

The guards on the gate tower of Shouxian County took a closer look, only to see the yellow dust rolling in the distance, and a horse galloping.

The figure on horseback held up a yellow silk and shouted: "Eight hundred miles in an emergency!" Edict of the Son of Heaven! Open the gates of the city quickly! ”

Eight hundred miles expedited, or the edict of the Son of Heaven?

"Open the gates!"

When the Shou County gate guard heard this, he didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately ordered the soldiers on the left and right to open the city gate.

"Boom—"

The heavy gates were quickly pushed open, and the smoke and dust were seen, and the man disappeared from view in a blink of an eye.

When you come, the yellow dust rolls out, and when you go, the ancient road condenses the clouds, and the sky is clear.

Entering Shou County, this post guard still did not slow down, galloped all the way, and went straight to the depths of Shou County.

At the same time, he also shouted in his mouth: "Eight hundred miles urgent!" Edict of the Son of Heaven! Those who resist die, and those who oppose die! ”

When the surrounding people saw this scene, they were all shocked and shocked.

Dodge quickly to the sides of the street.

Blocking the way of the eight-hundred-mile expedited post guard, even if it is a prince or minister, it will die in vain, let alone the ordinary people.

Looking at the distant post soldiers, the people talked a lot.

"What's the matter, it's going to be eight hundred miles expedited?"

"Didn't you say it, the edict of the Son of Heaven."

"The edict of the Son of Heaven? Which edict of the Son of Heaven is it, how did I hear that there are two true and false Sons of Heaven now, one in Xu County and one in Jizhou. ”

"yes, I don't know who is real and who is fake."

"Hey, we're ordinary people, what do we care about this, does it have anything to do with us?"

"It's just, think about what to eat at night."

……

Yuan Shu's mansion is located in the center of Shou County.

As the capital of Jiujiang County, Shou County is a large county with a huge population and area, more than twice as large as Yecheng.

And Yuan Shu's mansion is said to be a mansion, but in fact it is much more luxurious and magnificent than the mansion of ordinary princes, and it is already arrogant in terms of etiquette, but in Shou County, no one will say this.

Although night has fallen, the house is still brightly lit.

Yuan Shu summoned his advisors to gather together to discuss the matter of the true and false Son of Heaven that has been in a uproar recently.

"Do you say that the Son of Heaven in Yuan Benchu's hands is true or false?"

In the main hall, Yuan Shu frowned and asked the strategists in the hall.

Not long after Cao Cao announced that he would welcome the Son of Heaven to Xu County, Yuan Shao followed and said that the Son of Heaven had fled to Jizhou, and then declared that Cao Cao was a traitor.

Now Cao Cao's Son of Heaven has issued an edict again, saying that he has never been to Yecheng, and Yuan Shao is deceiving people.

True and false, even he can't tell the difference.

Yuan Shu's voice fell, and Yan Xiang, the chief bookkeeper under his command, stood up and said, "My lord, there is no way to tell the truth from the fake now, but whether it is true or false, it will be beneficial to you." ”

"Now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are fighting for the true and false emperors, there is a rift, and we can also take this opportunity to stir up trouble and exacerbate the contradictions between the two parties."

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, Changshi Yang Hong also said: "That's true, they are fighting with each other, and the lord can be a fisherman and laugh at the wind and clouds, waiting for an opportunity to make a profit." ”

But after listening to it, Yuan Shu didn't think so.

"But now many people in the world believe that the Son of Heaven in Yuan Shao's hands is real, what if he takes the opportunity to expand his power?"

"All in all, between the two of them, there must be one of them who is fake, why don't we follow suit and find someone to pretend to be the Son of Heaven, so can't we also command the world in the name of the Son of Heaven?"

Yuan Shu was very greedy for Yuan Shao to act in the name of the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven was not in his hands, so he couldn't help but think crookedly.

When Yan Xiang and Yang Hong heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Finding someone to pretend to be the Son of Heaven is definitely doing more harm than good, once the stuffing is exposed, the impact will be very bad, why take this risk?

It is certainly not advisable to focus only on the benefits and ignore the risks.

Just as the two were about to persuade again, a voice suddenly came into the hall from outside.

"Eight hundred miles expedited! Edict of the Son of Heaven——! ”
