At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

That night, Zhang Ji and Duan Wei got the news, and together with Jia Xu, the three of them came to Yang's old house to find out the exact news.

They need to make sure that Yang Biao is really dead, not a fake death, in fact, there are ulterior motives.

Entering the room, they saw Yang Biao lying motionless on the bed, his eyes wide open, unwilling to die.

Yang Xiu collapsed on the ground, his eyes were lifeless, and his face was pale. Yang Xiu's mother was crying, and the members of the Yang clan looked at the three giants of Liangzhou who got the news and came to confirm the situation.

There is no doubt that the dead can no longer die.

Jia Xu went up to test Yang Biao's breath, looked into Yang Biao's eyes, and called the trembling doctor over to hear the news, to confirm that Yang Biao was really dead.

Very angry.

The three then retreated outside the room.

"Yang Biao is indeed dead. He was still sick and weak. When he suddenly received the news of the closure of the country, he was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, and died in a panic."

Jia Xu sighed: "Yang Biao's official position is after all the Taiwei of the court. He is highly respected and has great prestige in the court. Many officials are headed by Yang Biao. The court still has to follow the procedures to deal with Yang Biao's funeral and give him a posthumous posthumous title. Hao and Ai Rong, what do the two generals think?"

What else can I see?

The goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether Yang Biao dies or not.

"Let's do it like this. Wenhe can do it as he sees. We won't get involved in this kind of thing. If we do, we have to tell people that Yang Biao is dead now, so as not to make trouble with us if he is alive."

Zhang Ji pouted.

The three of them decided to leave, but suddenly a voice sounded from behind the three of them.

"Whoever you say is dead?"

The three turned their heads in surprise, and saw Yang Xiuxiu standing at the door of the room with a knife in his hand, staring at Zhang Ji.

"Whoever you say is dead?"

Yang Xiuhong walked forward step by step with eyes wide open, staring at Zhang Ji viciously.

"What are you going to do?!"

"I want to kill the thief to avenge my father!!"

Yang Xiu directly raised his long knife and roared, rushing forward to kill Zhang Ji: "The traitor! Take your life!!"

Zhang Ji drew out his waist knife, Duan Yan also drew out his waist knife, and the guards they brought rushed up immediately.

"Don't kill him!"

Jia Xu shouted quickly.

The fierce Liangzhou soldiers heard it, and a leading officer kicked Yang Xiu in the chest and knocked him to the ground, and then a group of people rushed up and grabbed Yang Xiu, holding him firmly.

"Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!!!"

A lady with disheveled hair stumbled out and rushed forward to hug Yang Xiu. Liangzhou soldiers wanted to pull this woman away, but she just hugged Yang Xiu tightly.

"Don't touch my mother! Don't touch my mother!!"

Yang Xiu struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from the Liangzhou soldiers' grip. In the end, it was Jia Xu who said not to drag Madam Yang any longer, so the Liangzhou soldiers did not continue to treat Madam Yang roughly.

"Good boy, do you want to kill me for revenge? I killed your father?"

Zhang Ji couldn't bear this situation, he stepped forward with a knife in his face, and put the knife across Yang Xiu's neck.

"Don't kill me! General! General! You kill me! You kill me! Don't hurt me!!"

Mrs. Yang quickly grabbed Zhang Ji's blade with her hand, and pressed her neck against it.

"Don't hurt my mother! Kill me! Kill me! Let my mother go! Let my mother go!"

Yang Xiu yelled with his eyes wide open.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Ji didn't know what to do.

Jia Xu stepped forward at the right time, and said in Zhang Ji's ear: "After all, Duke Yong still needs popularity. Yang Biao has always been popular. Yang Xiu is his son, and he is also famous. In one day, the two fathers and sons were violent. Death, the impact is too great, it is not easy to end, right now Yang Xiu is a useless person with no power to restrain a chicken, why does Yonggong need to do it?"

Zhang Ji thought about it, and felt that Jia Xu was right.

Killing his son and mother in front of his dead father is too unreasonable.

"Hmph! You're lucky! This general doesn't care about you!"

So Zhang Ji snorted angrily, retracted the knife, turned and left.

Duan Yan gave Yang Xiu a hard look, then nodded towards Jia Xu, and then left.

Jia Xu sighed, bowed towards the room, then waved his hand, and took away the soldiers from Liangzhou.

After a group of people left, Yang Xiu, Mrs. Yang, mother and son were left crying.

"Stupid boy, why are you doing this? Your father is gone, and if you have another trouble, how can your mother survive?"

"Mother... Could it be that father died in vain?"

The mother and son were extremely sad and cried for a long time.

Yang Biao's death was just an accident, and it could not affect the overall situation, nor could it affect the general trend of the world. What can really affect the general trend of the world is the hearts of the princes from all walks of life.

It is the heart of clan princes and non-clan princes.

The news that the major princes were allowed to feud the state and build the country spread to the camps of the major princes, and one stone stirred up thousands of waves, igniting an upsurge of public opinion in the world.

Everyone was eagerly discussing the news, discussing the news that the emperor allowed the seven princes to feud the state and establish a country, and express their opinions to each other.

In the beginning, all the public opinion tendencies in this wave were about Zhang Ji and Duan Wei controlling the court and forcing the emperor to make such a decision. Such a decision should not be recognized, because most people who can guide public opinion think that This is turning back the wheel of history and returning the world to chaos.

People who want peace but not war are unwilling to agree.

However, the trend of the world is not in the hands of these people, but in the hands of the princes who hold soldiers and horses, have power and have the power to overthrow the table.

But no one expected that Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was the first to accept this conferment that should have been collectively boycotted by the people of the world.

Originally, the news of Guo Peng's appointment as Duke was considered a big news in Xuzhou. Everyone's attitude towards it was ambiguous. They neither opposed nor supported it.

But when the new news came, it was completely different.

A group of guys who are not qualified to feud a state and build a country want to feud a state and build a country. What do they think of a feudal state and a country?game?

Most of the public opinion in Xuzhou is against this award.

The Chen family is even more so. They think that this is a trick of Duan Yan and Zhang Ji. They can completely ignore the people in the world in order to achieve their own goals, so they try their best to speak to Tao Qian, saying that this is a conspiracy. Qian must not agree to anything like that.

As a result, Tao Qian thought for three days and three nights and came to a conclusion.

Guo Zifeng is a duke, and so am I. He feudalized the state and established the state, and I also established the state. In this way, our status will be equal, and he can't beat me casually.

After reaching this conclusion, Tao Qian was overjoyed, and asked his confidants Cao Bao and Cao Hong.

After receiving the support of Cao Bao and Cao Hong, Tao Qian directly announced that he would accept Duke Xu's title, establish Xu State, and continue to be loyal to Emperor Han.

Chapter 493 .490 Three Hearts of Rebellion

Chen Gui and Chen Deng didn't quite understand what was going on in Tao Qian's brain circuit.

The support of Cao Bao and Cao Hong is taken for granted.

Because they are Tao Qian's basic group, the higher Tao Qian's status is, the better it is for them. They are all from Yangzhou. If they want to get along in Xuzhou, Tao Qian's status must be high and stable.

Now that Guo Peng has set a precedent, let’s continue. It’s better to have something than nothing, and it’s better to have the name of a monarch.

But this is not in the interests of Xuzhou people.

Raising a local emperor in a state?

What are you kidding? !

However, Tao Qian had been prepared for a long time and transferred Cao Bao and Zang Hong to Donghai County. This old guy actually planned to use force to ensure his succession.

On October [-]th of the third year of Xingping, Xuzhou Mu and Annan General Tao Qian accepted the title of the imperial court, promoted him to the rank of Duke, formally established the Duke of Xu, and ascended the throne as the king of Xu State, and made the eldest son Tao Shang the prince of Xu State.

Xu Guo was formally established, although the establishment was not so stable and not so popular, and was even hated and disgusted by many people.

But under the oppression of the powerful, it was established.

The relationship between Xuzhou people and Tao Qian was forced to establish a relationship between monarch and minister.

Although the state of Xu was established, the seeds of rebellion had already been planted, and the people of Xuzhou, who were dissatisfied with this, had already acted secretly, preparing to use their knives to protect their own interests.

They don't want to support a local emperor!

Or, under the deterrence of an extremely powerful external regime, use one state to fight against six and a half states, courting death?

At this time, Guo Peng was still fighting the Huns in Bingzhou and knew nothing about it.

And the news quickly spread, across the Yangtze River, to Jiangdong, to Jingzhou, and continued to the west, and the spread was very fast.

When Sun Ce received the envoy from the court envoy, his mind was blank.

Don't mention Sun Ce, Zhou Yu is not much better, they are all very strange, they just want to seek the title of a heavy-ranked general, why did they suddenly become the king of the country?

He is only in his 20s, a young man, how did he become a king?

He really wasn't being modest, but he just didn't want to understand how a young man who was looked down upon by everyone became the king of the country?

Before Sun Ce could react, he learned that Tao Qian of Xuzhou had accepted the title of Duke Xu, established Xu Dukedom, established a prince, and established a succession.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce learned that Liu Yao, who was lingering in Yuzhang County, received the news without saying a word, and accepted the envoy of the imperial envoy to become King of Yue, establish the Kingdom of Yue, and then asked Sun Ce to hand over Kuaiji County to him. , abide by the laws and regulations of the court.

Sun Ce blinked, then looked at Zhou Yu again, and the two of them were stunned for a while.

Sun Ce's forces were all recruited by himself, and the local powerful clans in Jiangdong were severely suppressed by him. For the time being, no one can make irresponsible remarks to him. Although some people objected, Sun Ce didn't care.

Moreover, it is not Sun Ce's habit not to beat back after being bullied. Sun Bofu has always been bullied and must be beaten back.

Then, at the end of October, with the support of his subordinates and the army, Sun Ce announced to the outside world that he would become the Duke of Wu, establish the Duke of Wu, establish the capital of Wu County in Wu County, and then——advance into Yuzhang County.

Take advantage of it, write back the disadvantages!

Give you some color and you will open a dyeing workshop?

A mere Yuzhang County really considers himself the King of Yue, Goujian? !

Sun Ce personally led the army from Wujun and marched towards Yuzhang County.

As soon as the two countries were established, war broke out, and it was still a war that the court could not restrain at all.

The Wu and Yue countries seem to be natural enemies. Even after reincarnation and rebirth at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they still would not stop fighting, and war broke out.

The new order was established from the very beginning as rootless duckweed. No one intends to really pay attention to it, and they don't know how to pay attention to it.

Leaders with insufficient historical and cultural knowledge did not have enough time to understand how this enfeoffment system works, but they still understand how to fight for hegemony. To be precise, they do not have enfeoffment thinking, and are full of mergers and hegemony thinking.

Therefore, the order of enfeoffment was not established, and the ambition of the princes to fight for hegemony was aroused.

The Wuyue War was just a small beginning. When the war broke out between Wuyue and Wuyue, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, had not yet decided whether to take the throne.

In fact, Liu Biao thought, he really thought, he was originally a clan, and the clan's title of king and founding the country was justified, and Liu Yao had already become the king of Yue, so he couldn't be the king of Chu?

But Liu Biao didn't have any direct lineage power around him, and his subordinates discussed and discussed, but they couldn't reach a result.

Because everyone has selfish intentions, especially the Cai family who has a relationship with Guo Peng, they don't want to support a Tu Emperor, even the Tu Emperor in name.

So while the Wuyue War was going on, Jingzhou was still hesitating.

It wasn't until the first ten days of November that Liu Zhang became King of Shu in Chengdu and the news of the establishment of the Kingdom of Shu came that Jingzhou became restless.

The local people in Yizhou did not want to support Liu Zhang's ascension to the throne of Shu, and his righteous name was quite oppressive.

In the past, Liu Zhang was the boss, and rebellion was not so fatal. Now Liu Zhang is the monarch of the country, and the title is completely different, and the meaning is also different.

The ambitious representative of the local people, Zhao Wei, strongly opposed this matter. While leading troops to Chengdu, he sent someone to present a form to Liu Zhang, stating his interests, but he refused to agree anyway.

But someone wanted Liu Zhang to agree.

Pang Xi, the representative of the Dongzhou faction, as the representative of the outsiders who followed Liu Yan to Shu, Pang Xi absolutely supported Liu Zhang, and must also support Liu Zhang.

Without Liu Zhang, they would definitely be killed by the natives of Yizhou. Therefore, the higher and more stable Liu Zhang's status, the better for them.

Pang Xi, who got the news first, led his troops into Chengdu in the name of escorting imperial envoys. With the assistance of Dongzhou officials, he succeeded in persuading Liu Zhang to accept the imperial conferment and become the King of Shu in early November, establishing the Kingdom of Shu. rule within the scope.

Zhao Wei, who was a step behind, was very dissatisfied, stopped in Jiangzhou, and couldn't swallow his breath after thinking about it.

So he simply contacted the powerful families in Shu who had been in contact with him before, stated his interests to them, explained the disadvantages of letting Liu Zhang be the king of Shu, and then directly announced the rebellion in Jiangzhou.
