Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 418 San Liu's Ambition

Yizhou, Mianzhu

At this time, the mysterious fire has not yet happened, and the state government of Yizhou is still in Mianzhu.

"Old Tao Qian is extremely hateful!"

"I can't keep my Xuzhou, and I still want to drag me and that Liu Jingsheng as his backs. Such a villain behaves and claims to be a loyal veteran of the Han Dynasty. It is really disgusting!"

Liu Yan threw Tao Qian's proclamation to the world on the ground, and he was very angry.

At this time, there were three people standing under Liu Yan. The two were Liu Yan's old subordinates Zhao Wei and Wu Yi, and the other was Yan Yan, a well-known local general in Yizhou. Zhao Wei first stepped forward and said:

"My lord, you don't need to worry. Let Tao Qian say whatever you want. Even if the emperor issued an edict to abolish the state shepherd, Zhang Gongqi killed the angel once or twice in Hanzhong. My lord just doesn't know, so what?"

Liu Yan pondered and said: "I am not worried about this. The roads in the land of Liangchuan are steep and the government orders are difficult to pass. Not to mention the edict issued by the emperor, even if the Huaxiong army attacks, I am not afraid. I am only worried about Jingzhou. Liu Jingsheng, once Jing Yang falls into the hands of Hua Xiong, our Yizhou will be alone."

Zhao Wei hesitated and said, "My lord, what do you mean, why don't we unite with Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou and Liu Zhengli of Yangzhou to fight against Huaxiong in the north?"

Liu Yan nodded: "That's right, even if you can't really practice together, at least you have to stand firm in the righteousness, otherwise the last three Han royal descendants will become thieves instead. Isn't this making the world laugh?"

At this time, Zhao Wei took a deep breath, stood up and said to Liu Yan:
"My lord, I have a suggestion."

Liu Yan: "Speak."

A gleam of determination flashed in Zhao Wei's eyes: "This subordinate recommends that the lord ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"

"what?!"

In an instant, Wu Yi and Yan Yan, who had been silent until now, exclaimed at the same time. Neither of them thought that Zhao Wei would dare to raise such an outrageous opinion, and even Liu Yan was stunned for a while.

After a while, Liu Yan waved his hand: "No, don't bring this up again in the future."

As if he had expected that Liu Yan would refuse, Zhao Wei immediately continued: "Since the lord is not willing, then we might as well support another emperor to fight against the Huaxiong emperor in the north. What about Liu Jingsheng and Liu Zhengli?"

Liu Yan frowned: "I am a clan member of the Han family. I don't want to do such a thing of usurping the throne myself. How can I support others?"

Zhao Wei explained: "My lord, supporting another emperor will not only keep us from losing ground in righteousness, but also help win the hearts of the people in Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou. Otherwise, even if the three states have reached an alliance in name , but without the drive of common interests, it is nothing more than a mess of sand.”

"The so-called common interests are driven by the lord who wants to stabilize Yizhou, Liu Jingsheng wants to stabilize Jingzhou, and Liu Zhengli wants to stabilize Yangzhou. The three prefectures jointly elect a new emperor and establish a new country. The shortest time is three to five years. , The longest period is only ten years, when the people of the three states will allege, they will only recognize the new country but not the old Han, when the world will be divided into north and south, and if we come to compete again, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose."

Liu Yan's heart was moved by what Zhao Wei said, but he still had some doubts in his heart:
"Your long-term plan is indeed feasible, but it will take at least three to five years before the people will recognize the new country. Do you know that Hua Xiong pacified the land of the five states in just over a year? It's just the beginning of spring this year. The three prefectures of Qing, Xu, and Yu are about to be captured by him again, so how could it be possible to give you three to five years?"

Zhao Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well think about it carefully. Of the several states that Hua Xiong conquered, is there any state that has the dangerous fortress of Yizhou? Is there a state that has the turbulent Yangtze River natural moat? Except for the one in Xuzhou Tao Qian, which state was completely taken by him?"

"Zhang Yan and Zhang Yang in Bingzhou, Gongsun Zan and Gongsundu in Youzhou, Han Fu and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, all of these were gradually eaten away by Huaxiong, and they did not have a strong unified force, unlike Yizhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou is general, a state shepherd controls a state.

"Besides, it is precisely because Hua Xiong took over the eight states in a short period of time, and has acquired most of the northern states and counties. I guess he will definitely not make a big military effort in the past two years."

After Zhao Wei said so much, finally Liu Yan nodded slowly: "You can arrange this matter, the Prophet will talk to Liu Jingsheng and Liu Zhengli to see what their attitude is, if the two agree, then choose another one together The Son of Heaven comes out!"

Zhao Wei: "No."

At this time in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, the same thing happened with Liu Biao, but Liu Biao was much quieter compared to Liu Yan's violent temper.

Brothers Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun stood under Liu Biao in the capital and did not speak. After a long time, Liu Biao opened his mouth and said:

"Everyone in the world thinks that I, Liu Jingsheng, are the dog that guards the household"

"Lord!"

"Why should my lord care about the words of those peasants?"

Cai Hao and Kuai Liang hurriedly spoke to comfort Liu Biao. Liu Biao, the prefect, continued to say, "The dog guarding the household, what household is guarding? It is the door of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but right now, someone wants to take over the country of my Han family."

"Cai Mao Zhang Yun!"

Suddenly, Liu Biao yelled, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who were lowering the head, responded immediately: "Your subordinate is here!"

"From today onwards, the Jingzhou navy will expand its army by [-] troops, and the infantry army by [-] soldiers. I have ordered Huang Zu to keep an eye on Yangzhou's movement for me. All the troops will conduct strict drills, and Jiangbei will be patrolling day and night!"

"promise!"

Afterwards, Liu Biao waved his hand to signal them to retreat, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun left together. On the way, Zhang Yun asked Cai Mao, "Degui, why do you feel that today's lord is different from the past?"

Cai Mao looked back at the State Shepherd's Mansion behind him, and said with a smile: "My lord, I have been called a household dog for most of my life. At this time, the Han Dynasty has come to a period of life and death, and the literati integrity in my bones has exploded."

Zhang Yun nodded, looking thoughtful.

At this moment, suddenly a fast horse stopped beside the two, and the scouts who got off immediately rushed into the state pastoral mansion. Cai Hao and Zhang Yun couldn't help stopping when they saw it. It seemed that it was an urgent military situation. After a while, Liu Biao would definitely call the two of them back to discuss, so they just waited here.

Sure enough, after a while, two servants ran out of the state pastoral mansion. Seeing that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were at the door, the two servants hurriedly said: "Two generals, please come in quickly, and the state pastor has summoned you."

At the moment Cai Mao and Zhang Yun quickly stepped into Liu Biao's meeting room, snapping——

A secret report was thrown in front of the two by Liu Biao: "I didn't want to take that Liu Bei in at the beginning, but it's better now. Yuan Gonglu led [-] soldiers to come to the door! Among them, [-] are Huaxiong's cavalry!"
