Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 459
At dawn, Liu Yu asked Xun Yu to send Xu Jing away from the south gate.

"This is a letter from the Prince Regent to the Emperor's Uncle, please bring it back!"

"Thank you, Master Shaofu, for sending me off. The next official will definitely bring the regent's intentions to Yizhou."

Early this morning, the imperial court promulgated awards, conferring Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yu of Youzhou, and Liu Yan of Yizhou as emperor's uncles.

And Liu Yu's letter to Liu Yan's family is more like a fine brewing plan. It draws a detailed topographic map of Dongchuan, and designs three sets of plans for Yizhou to attack Hanzhong. If Sichuan is difficult, Luoyang can send troops to help.

Yizhou is divided into Dongchuan and Xichuan. Although Liu Yan is the shepherd of Yizhou, he only governs Xichuan, and Dongchuan has long been taken into the pocket by Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu was named an official of Yizhou, but he exercised the same power as the governor of the state. This was the most unbearable thing for Liu Yan.

I just hate that the road to Dongchuan is difficult, and Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Liu Yan has never dared to mobilize troops easily.

Now with Liu Yu's tricks in his bag, I believe Yizhou will focus on conquering Dongchuan for more than half a year.

…………

At the east gate of Luoyang, Liu Yu personally came to see Mi Zhu off.

"After Zizhong goes back, he can first persuade Tao Qian to send troops according to the order, and then take advantage of Xuzhou's small size and take over the temporary custody in one fell swoop. It is estimated that I will go to Xuzhou in person in a short time, and then decide on the candidate for the governor."

"Your subordinate obeys, my lord, please go back!"

Accompanied by Zhang Ren and Pang De, Mi Zhu left Luoyang, while Liu Yu returned to the city to meet the two Sangongs who had been in charge all night.

After a night of torment, Wang Yun and Xun Shuang both aged a lot.

"Why are you two adults doing this?"

Liu Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Is it comfortable to be an official under Dong Zhuo's despotic power before, or is it more face-saving for the current regent?"

Wang Yun and Xun Shuang were speechless when asked, just like Liu Yu said, if he hadn't brought down the Xiliang faction and quelled the Han Sui Rebellion, the court officials and even the emperor would probably still live in fear every day .

Although the imperial court still has no military power, Liu Yu has given them a lot of room to play in terms of internal affairs reform and governance of people's livelihood.

Besides, the duties of the two are internal affairs, so why bother to fight for the military power!
"Hey, this old man has been fascinated by ghosts for a while, and I just ask the regent to have mercy on me, the younger generation of the Wang family!"

Wang Yun drooped his head, and he no longer had the momentum of a regent.

Xun Shuang is better than him in his heart. After all, the Xun family still has two rising stars who are highly valued by Liu Yu, so he doesn't need to worry about his clansmen.

"The old man has nothing to say, but people are more interested in power when they are old. Maybe this is the bad nature of people!"

Xun Shuang laughed wryly at himself.

Soon his wry smile was suppressed by Liu Yu's voice.

"Hehe, there are no white pipes this night, the two elders seem to have gained a lot!"

"Although I have all the witnesses and material evidence in my hands, the two are the ministers of the big man's humerus after all. I really can't bear to watch the two go to Caishikou in Dongshi."

"Why don't we leave it at that? I'll pretend that nothing happened. The two lords will continue to serve as your regent ministers. But when it comes to the reform of the new law, I hope that the two lords will think more about the big man, and don't do it because of personal interests. Damaged and opposed and made things difficult!"

Liu Yu's words are very straightforward. If Wang Yun and Xun Shuang want to save their lives and the lives of their clansmen, they must be obedient. As long as they cooperate well, they can continue to be regent ministers. It was treason with Xun Shuang, what choice did they have.

"The old man thanked the Regent for his mercy, and Wang Yun will never have any unreasonable thoughts in the future!"

"Xun Shuang thanked the regent for not killing him, but recently he is old and sick, and his eyesight is blurred. He is really unable to continue to serve as Sikong, so he is willing to ask the old man to return to his hometown."

It is definitely not as good as living with a bad smell for thousands of years, not to mention that they are not living as a living. Whether they have been regents who have had no real power for a few years or retired from their old age, they can continue to be famous all over the world as long as they don't fight against Liu Yu.

"I will consider Lord Sikong's proposal, but there is no suitable candidate yet, please ask the boss to take over for a while!"

"The old man obeys!"

For the time being, Liu Yu still needs Wang Yun and Xun Shuang to be safe and sound, so that his plan for Yizhou and Xuzhou can go smoothly, so he rejected Xun Shuang's resignation on the spot.

It's just that this move of his completely conquered the two of them, repaying hatred with kindness, and a saint is nothing more than that.

So after this incident, both Wang Yun and Xun Shuang actively supported Liu Yu's various reforms and new policies in the court.

…………

Liu Yu held the criminal evidence of Wang Yun and Xun Shuang in his hands, so he was not afraid of the two going back on their promises, but just when Liu Yu thought that the internal troubles were solved and he could relax for a few days, a shocking news spread to Luoyang City.

Yuan Shu, the former governor of Yangzhou, made himself emperor, with Shouchun as his capital, and his country name was Dazhong.

Those who replace the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao!

A prophecy handed down from unknown when was packaged by Hua Xin and delivered to Yuan Shu. Later, Liu Xun, Ji Ling, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun and others contributed to the flames, finally making Yuan Shu embark on the road of proclaiming himself emperor. road.

The big man has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time. As long as the emperor is still there, the world will still be ruled by the Liu family. For a while, the princes from all walks of life complained everywhere. At the same time, Yuan Shu's internal instability also appeared.

Yuan Shu did not expect the situation to become so tense, but since he had embarked on this road of no return, he could only go to the dark side. While mobilizing troops to garrison around, he sent his cronies to hunt down and kill the defected subordinates, and the entire Yangzhou All fell into chaos.

"Yuan Shu dares to proclaim himself emperor!"

Liu Yu was very surprised when he saw this news. It is said in history that Yuan Shu dared to proclaim himself emperor because he obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

In response to this matter, Liu Yu urgently recruited four military divisions, as well as Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others to discuss the matter of sending troops to crusade.

"The situation is urgent. My lord, should I use my troops slowly against Jizhou first, and turn to Yangzhou with all my strength?"

Xun Yu attached great importance to the reputation of the Han Dynasty, and felt that if Liu Yu's mobilization of troops at this time was not to punish Yuan Shu, the princes of the world might follow suit and call themselves kings and emperors.

"Wen Ruo's words are reasonable, and Yuan Shu must send troops to challenge him if he proclaims himself emperor, so as to demonstrate the orthodoxy of our Habayashi Army. However, Hanoi County has prepared soldiers and horses for a long time, and has made an alliance with Cao Cao long ago. I don't want to miss the opportunity to annex Jizhou Great opportunity!"

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are still fighting, and Liu Yu is still in the north, so it is the best time to defeat Yuan Shao.

Moreover, the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes has filled the granary in Luoyang. With soldiers and food, Liu Yu is confident even if the two fronts go to war.
