At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"I know, that's why I'm angry!"

Liu Biao was furious: "What do those Liangzhou people think of the emperor of Han? What do they think of the court? Is this how the Han family was ruined by them? As a member of the Han family, can I just sit back and watch?" Ignore it? I want to send troops! I want to attack Hongnong!"

Liu Biao slapped the table and roared angrily.

The subordinates looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

The scene suddenly felt a little awkward.

"Why don't you talk?"

Liu Biao withdrew his hand and had no choice but to break the embarrassing situation by himself.

"General, after all, Hongnong is where the emperor is. The general recognizes the status of the emperor, and now he wants to attack Hongnong. In the eyes of the people in the world, isn't this a minister's attack on the emperor?"

Cai Mao said in a low voice.

"I……"

Liu Biao was also a little embarrassed: "I don't think so. What I mean is that this matter cannot be made by the emperor. It must be the decision made by the Liangzhou thieves! They kidnapped the emperor and insulted the emperor. Everyone in the world knows!"

"Whether people in the world know it or not, the edict of the emperor, the seal of the emperor, the name of the emperor, the general, the name is justified."

Kuai Yue said: "If we are going to oppose and crusade against the legitimate things, how will we honor the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty in the future?"

Liu Biao became more and more annoyed and desolate.

He discovered that these people were just unwilling to cooperate with him in sending troops.

Everything else is easy to say, when it comes to sending troops, when it comes to getting them to support money and food, ten thousand out of ten are not happy!

Is your money and food going to be buried with you? !

Liu Biao really wanted to yell like this, but it was useless.

No one will talk to him, they will still act in accordance with their own interests, and Liu Biao is actually quite powerless.

For Liu Biao, he has no cronies, no basic board, and no resources that can be directly controlled. He is very weak, with a nominal armor of [-], but in fact he can only defend, not attack. All his ambitions have been wiped out in Jingzhou. .

In the end, Liu Biao did not get any meaningful replies, but some were just admonitions, admonishing him not to act impulsively and make incorrect actions. These incorrect actions are very terrible and hurtful. Liu Biao must understand this. a little.

Liu Biao was doomed not to go north.

Chapter 476 Liu Gongjin, I'm Not Afraid

Liu Biao is like this, and Liu Zhang is not much better.

At any rate, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou alone, and he had that prestige. Liu Zhang was already the second generation. Liu Yan was dead, and Liu Zhang was just pushed to the top by a group of Liu Yan's local subordinates.

Since Liu Zhang took office, he has always done what others say. He has very little control over his subordinates and generals.

There are two big factions under his command, one is the Dongzhou people group headed by Pang Xi and others. Liu Zhang uses Pang Xi to guard the Brazilian county and serve as the prefect of Brazil, who is responsible for resisting Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

The second is Zhengdong Zhonglang General Zhao Wei, who defeated the heroes of Gan Ning and others. As a representative of Yizhou natives, he led the army to defend against Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

One of them defends the north and the other defends the east, protecting Yizhou from the enemies from the north and east.

Of course, there is no other way to go to enter Shu.

Yizhou seems to be very safe, but it is not. There is no other reason, that is, Liu Zhang is too "dark and weak", which makes the officials and generals alienated.

People follow you because they see you as strong and wise as they think there is hope in following you. If you can't show this, but you occupy such a good place, it is inevitable that people will want to rebel.

Zhao Wei is like this, and so is Pang Xi.

The good thing is that the two share the military power, and each is a representative of a different group, and their interests are difficult to reconcile, so there is no possibility of joining forces. If the Yizhou people were not so xenophobic, Liu Zhang would have been overthrown long ago, and Zhao Wei would have taken control of it long ago. It's Yizhou.

No, neither side can tolerate the other.

Liu Zhang is a man of little ability. It is pure luck to inherit his father's position. Now the control over Yizhou is also very weak. The news of Guo Peng's intention to establish a state has spread to Yizhou, and the officials have talked about it, but Liu Zhang has not much view.

Some people think that Liu Zhang should express his opinion and say some of his own opinions, such as objections, because the Han Empire did not have such rules, but Liu Zhang felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less, so don't comment on it at all, everyone can live their own lives with peace of mind. This is better.

Liu Zhang's statement is undoubtedly an expression of incompetence in the eyes of the local power faction.

In Zhao Wei's view, this is even more so.

So Zhao Wei began to step up contact with the powerful nobles in Yizhou, intending to discuss with them, let them support him in rebelling against Liu Zhang, and let Liu Zhang obediently hand over the position of Yizhou Mu.

Yizhou people control Yizhou people, this is the kingly way, right?

So in the Land of Abundance, a violent rebellion is quietly brewing.

The two powerful clans surnamed Liu who occupied the prefectures and counties had no opinion on this matter, but Liu Yao, who was living in Yuzhang County in a state of anxiety all day long, had a very opinion on it. He was very dissatisfied with this matter, so he wrote a memo in person Biao went to the court to oppose the matter and asked for some support by the way.

He is indeed in a difficult situation, and he hopes that the imperial court can slightly restrain the Sun Ce forces that are raging in Jiangdong.

Can the court really do it?

Just kidding, Liu Yao has already gone to the doctor in a hurry.

After crossing the river from Lujiang County to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu defected to Sun Ce with all his possessions. Sun Ce was so moved that he immediately appointed Zhou Yu as Zhonglang General, and then together with Zhou Yu wiped out the rest of Yuan Shu's troops.

Sun Ce and Liu Xun had a big battle, and they fought for several months regardless of the outcome, which made Sun Ce very embarrassed, until Zhou Yu crossed the river to cast a plan for Sun Ce to deal with Liu Xun. Liu Xun's troops finally collapsed.

Sun Ce regained the lost ground, and then turned around to deal with the centrifugal forces in the two counties of Wujun and Danyang.

After the battle with Liu Xun came to a stalemate, the clan forces of Wujun and Danyang counties raised their heads. Under the leadership of a commander-in-chief named Zu Lang, they gathered tens of thousands of people to fight against Sun Ce. In response to Yuan Shu's crusade, Sun Ce once led Here comes big trouble.

But soon, after Zhou Yu brought the news that Yuan Shu was wiped out by Guo Peng, the centrifugal forces lost their hearts. Sun Ce wiped out Liu Xun in one go, annexed his tribe, and turned around to conquer Zu Lang. The clan power has been wiped out a lot.

So Jiangdong's Sun's foundation was stabilized.

With Zhou Yu's battle plan, Sun Ce was like a fish in water. He fought and won victories, killed a large number of opposing forces, and regained control of Wujun and Danyang counties. Not only that, but also marched further to Kuaiji County to occupy Kuaiji County.

Kuaiji County is the hometown of Zhu Jun, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At this time, the prefect was Tao Qian's subordinate, Wang Lang. When Wang Lang learned that Sun Ce was coming towards him in Kuaiji County, he immediately actively deployed defenses.

Cao Yufan, Wang Lang's meritorious service, had always known Sun Ce's bravery, so he persuaded Wang Lang to avoid his edge and stick to the city, but Wang Lang refused, and he must face Sun Ce head-on.

"As an important minister of the court, in the face of thieves coming, can you retreat?"

Wang Lang persisted.

Wang Lang is really not a soft persimmon. Sun Ce personally commanded the army to jointly attack several times, but failed to defeat Wang Lang, but was repelled several times by Wang Lang.

Later, it was Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing who offered advice together, and Sun Ce found out Wang Lang's weakness, and personally led the army to defeat Wang Lang's army, captured Shanyin, the capital of Kuaiji County, and took Kuaiji in one fell swoop.

Wang Lang was defeated and forced to flee, but he was caught by Sun Ce not long after he fled. Sun Ce persuaded Wang Lang to surrender, but Wang Lang was determined not to surrender.

So Kuaiji County was also included in Sun Ce's pocket.

Having said that, the Kuaiji County occupied by Sun Ce is actually the same thing. Along the area around Hangzhou Bay and extending to the sea, there are several county towns, and further south, there are several county towns. If you continue to go deeper, there will be no up.

Today's Zhejiang and Fujian areas are almost no-man's land. The Han government did not set up even a county here, which means that there are no Han people in these places, and there are no resources worth developing. They are all occupied by Shanyue people and are barren lands.

Kuaiji County is really big, covering more than half of Zhejiang and almost all of Fujian, and the number of household registrations is not as large as a county with a large population in the Central Plains of Hebei.

The so-called occupation means occupying the county seat. Outside the county seat, it is almost no longer the territory of the big Han.

Even so, for Sun Ce, this was a great victory. After this victory, Zhou Yu suggested to Sun Ce that Sun Ce submit a letter to the court to ask for a decent position in the name of occupying Jiangdong.

Right now, Sun Ce only has the military position of General Zhonglang, and it is obviously out of date to use it to rule the entire Jiangdong.

Sun Ce had just finished writing the memorandum, when the news came that the imperial court wanted to grant Guo Peng a state and a state.

"Finishing a state to build a country, becoming a feudal lord, building a country, building a ancestral temple, offering sacrifices to ancestors, and passing on to future generations, such rewards are the rewards that men should pursue."

Sun Ce couldn't help sighing.

Zhou Yu also sighed again and again.

"General Guo's achievements are so great that ordinary county lords can no longer reward them. Even so, I never thought that General Guo would receive such a reward. Why not fascinate people?"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.

"It's a pity that I'm just a general now."

Zhou Yu understood what Sun Ce meant.

"But you are my close friend, and you will not change anything."

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, knowing each other's feelings.

After a long time, Sun Ce's expression became serious.

"Is General Guo an enemy or a friend?"

"It's hard to say, General Guo did not continue to conquer Jiangdong, but returned to Yecheng. In this way, he should not cross the river, and he will not come back in a short time, but if he wants to come back, he will definitely get what he wants. Yes, Bo Fu, are you going to be an enemy of General Guo?"

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce seriously.

"Lujiang is very important to me. I need Lujiang, so that I can better attack Jiang Xia, kill Huang Zu, and avenge my father."

Sun Ce also looked at Zhou Yu very seriously.

"General Guo set up a prefect in Lujiang, leaving behind the defenders, Bo Fu, I don't suggest you to be hostile to General Guo now, our strength is very weak, it is not wise to provoke General Guo at this time, even if there is a great danger in the river , cannot be a guarantee of security for us."

"I know, I won't enter Lujiang for the time being, and Yuzhang County is my next goal."

Sun Ce faced the north and took a deep breath: "But Gong Jin, I am not afraid. I know how powerful General Guo is, but I am not afraid. It is enough to make people feel happy to be able to compete with heroes like General Guo."

"Bofu..."

Zhou Yu stood behind Sun Ce.

"General Guo joined the army at the age of 19, and in 11 years, he has created such a great achievement. How can people not yearn for it! General Guo is a hero, and I want to be a hero too! Sun Bofu will never be unknown, and he will never give up easily. Gong Jin , would you like to help me?"

Sun Ce looked back at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce's face and smiled.

"If I don't want to, I should stay in Lujiang and prepare to serve as General Guo and be your enemy, but I don't want to."

"it is good!"

Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand tightly: "I really want to know how far we can go."

"Me too!"

Zhou Yu also held Sun Ce's hand tightly.

The two young people who were only 21 years old held hands tightly together, imagining a better tomorrow together.

They don't seem to care what their final outcome will be.

Chapter 477 Seven Fathers and Sons

Each of the major forces in the world has its own ideas, and each has its own difficulties.

They couldn't make enough threatening moves about what was happening in the Hebei land of the Central Plains, but unsurprisingly, their eyes were all focused in one direction.

In that direction, there is a city and a person.

His decisions will bring huge changes and influences to the whole world, and his thoughts will affect the future direction of history.

After the third refusal, the court's fourth batch of reward envoys set off.

In fact, if you really want to calculate it, this thing is quite tortured.

The three words and three concessions are all in the same city, and everyone lives not far away, so it is convenient to play the three words and three concessions, but Guo Peng is not here.

The three words and three concessions that can be settled within a day, Guo Peng's side has been delayed for three months.

From mid-May to mid-August, Mi Zhen was pregnant with Sister Daqiao.

Guo has always regarded the inheritance of offspring as a very important thing, so he spares no effort in having children.

Sisters Daqiao and Xiaoqiao were brought into his residence by him in June. In early August, sisters Xiaoqiao and Xiaoqiao were found pregnant one after another, and Mi Zhen became pregnant again after that.

Guo Peng was very happy, and took some time every day to eat with sisters Xiaoqiao and Mizhen, and tried his best to ask for their health and keep them in a happy mood, which was good for the child.

When he was busy, he also asked Cao Landuo to pay attention to this aspect, and to care about the Guo family's heirs, which was her duty as the mistress.
