The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

What the soldiers are satisfied with is that they can clearly see the hope of promotion. As long as they fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, they will one day be promoted to colonels and major generals.

And the reason why Liu Zheng's top five generals were only conferred the title of major general was because the world is not peaceful now, if he was awarded directly to the general now, and he made contributions in the future, there would be no other rewards.

Therefore, it is still necessary to reserve the title of knighthood in the future.

Although many people were not able to attend this enthronement ceremony because they had to guard the various states and counties.

But this does not prevent Liu Zheng from spreading the news of their canonization to every corner.

The Jinyiwei under Liu Zheng now has a lot of personnel, and the intelligence and communication are already very strong, especially in these places controlled by Liu Zheng himself.

Liu Zheng directly sent people to spread the news everywhere. Immediately, the morale of Liu Zheng's subordinates was high and unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

Of course, some people are happy, and some people are naturally unhappy.

On Liu Zheng's side, everyone was excited and elated, but at the same time, Luoyang was furious.

The news of Liu Zheng proclaiming himself emperor finally reached Luoyang after a few days.

In fact, people here in Luoyang already knew about it a few days earlier.

Because before Liu Zheng proclaimed himself emperor, the news that Liu Zheng was about to proclaim himself emperor had already spread around Wu Jun. When those secret agents hiding in Wu Jun passed the news back to Luoyang, it was almost exactly the time when Liu Zheng proclaimed himself emperor. these days.

He Miao trembled angrily in the palace hall of Luoyang with the news from his subordinates.

With a wave of his hand, he threw the bamboo slips in his hand, and the bamboo slips were thrown to the ground and shattered.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! These rebels really dare to call themselves emperors!"

What He Miao was most afraid of was Liu Zheng proclaiming himself emperor, because the appearance of Yuan Shao had already damaged the majesty of their royal family, and the fate of the Han Dynasty was unstable. Many people have started to discuss in private, saying that Liu Bian's throne is not orthodox. .

It stands to reason that Liu Bian's throne is actually very orthodox.

After all, Liu Bian is the eldest son of Emperor Ling of Han, so it is understandable that he will inherit the throne.

However, when Liu Bian was young, he was robbed by Liu Zheng and escorted by Xu You and the others to Jizhou to become the puppet emperor.

In this way, when Emperor Han Ling died, Liu Bian could not directly inherit the throne of Emperor Han Ling.

Instead, the child Liu Xie succeeded to the throne at the instigation of the minister.

But later Liu Bian came back again. He Jin, the uncle, resolutely followed the example of the great general Huo Guang back then, abolishing Liu Xie's throne and making Liu Bian the emperor, despite the full opposition of civil and military officials.

Originally, this matter was against etiquette and clan system.

Even if Liu Xie's throne is wrong, Liu Xie has been the emperor for a while anyway, and the next successor to the throne will not be Liu Bian's turn, but Liu Xie's next generation.

It's a pity that Liu Xie has no next generation. In this way, he can only find the closest person, which is naturally Liu Bian.

Even so, there is nothing wrong with it, but people will still be chewed on.

Liu Bian, 15 years old, already understands some things.

He was sitting on the dragon chair with a flustered look on his face. Although Liu Bian was only 15 years old, his experience over the past ten years was extraordinary.

Before the age of 10, Liu Bian stayed in the palace all the time and did not experience too many setbacks.

But after he was 10 years old, Liu Zheng's magical generals suddenly entered the palace, which not only killed the Han Lingdi, but also robbed the young Liu Bian from the palace, leaving the young Liu Bian to wander around, which is also a That year, Liu Bian, who was ten years old, became the emperor. Although he was only a puppet emperor, it also made him understand the dangers of the world.

Although he was released later, returned to Luoyang, and became the emperor, but all these years, he has been a puppet in the hands of others.

At first he was Wang Fen's puppet, then he became He Jin's puppet, and now he is still just the puppet emperor in He Miao's hands.

Although Liu Bian was 15 years old, and he was old enough to govern by himself, He Miao, who was in charge of the government, never thought of handing over the power to him.

He Miao even betrothed his niece to Liu Bian, making Liu Bian her concubine, just waiting for Liu Bian to give birth to a son.

If Liu Bian had a son, then Liu Bian would die even faster. He could find a way to kill Liu Bian and establish a new emperor. He Miao could still control the court for decades.

So Liu Bian didn't dare to resist He Miao at all. In front of He Miao, he was just a submissive emperor, and he didn't dare to express any opinions of his own.

Even when the General He Miao asked him something, he just kept it secret and didn't dare to speak out.

"Your Majesty, those traitors openly defied the imperial court and proclaimed themselves emperor. It is simply unreasonable. I believe that the army should be dispatched to completely wipe out these traitors Liu Zheng. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

He Miao's words made Liu Bian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, at a loss immediately.

He Miao, who usually doesn't read memorials, certainly doesn't know how difficult the national power of the big man is at this time.

Years of wars have led to a lack of national strength, coupled with the poor harvests in the past two years, and the rampant plague, the emergence of the plague will bring floods and droughts in the second year.

Naturally, the harvest will not be good. There are many famines in various places, and the people are full of complaints.

Chapter 757 Luoyang Shock

The imperial court simply did not have the extra financial resources to crusade against Liu Zheng.Even if there is, it will not be much. If you want to raise a large army to attack Liu Zheng, you will definitely need a lot of money. In this way, the lives of the people will be even more difficult.

Moreover, with Liu Zheng's strength, this is not a one-sided battle, it will definitely be a tug-of-war of attrition, and it will last for a long time, which is an extremely bad result for the Han court.

"Uncle, I don't think this is the right time to start a war with Liu Zheng."

Originally, He Miao thought that the little emperor Liu Bian would agree with him without any objection and sent troops to Liu Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bian didn't want to launch a crusade against Liu Zheng and these rebels at this time.

"What? It's not suitable to start a war against Liu Zheng. Your Majesty, are you confused? Now he is proclaiming himself emperor and is shaking your position. If you don't attack him at this time, is it possible that you are still waiting for him to attack you? "

He Miao was so angry that he looked at the little emperor Liu Bian on the dragon chair, and really had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

If Liu Bian hadn't been the emperor, I'm afraid that He Miao would get angry at this time and draw out his stick to teach him a lesson.

Of course, He Miao in the past was not as impulsive and arrogant as he is now. When He Jin was still alive, He Miao was always a suppressed person with no right to speak.

He is actually no different from the little emperor on the dragon chair now.

But after He Jin's death, He Miao monopolized the power, arrogant, no one could suppress him anymore, and He Miao, who had the power in his hands, completely let go of himself.The original oppression made He Miao even worse after turning around. He now wants to get all the things he couldn't get before. He had no power before, and no one took anything seriously. After he became a general, It seems that he has become a more domineering general than Huo Guang in history, and he alone has the final say on the entire court.

If it wasn't for him, he would have to rely on those generals to conquer the world. Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and others were in front of him, and they all ignored them.

Even the little emperor in front of him came and went as he wanted.

Liu Bian saw that He Miao's face suddenly changed into that kind of furious look, and immediately trembled with fright.

Immediately, tremblingly, he added another sentence.

"Uncle, let's fight, let's fight Liu Zheng!"

Liu Bian's obsequious appearance looked like a bereaved dog.

After He Miao saw that Liu Bian agreed with his point of view, he looked better, then turned his head and questioned all the civil and military officials present.

"Everyone, is Liu Zheng good? He's not good at all. No matter how good he is, can he be the opponent of Lu Zhi, General Lu Zhi? Not long ago, General Lu Zhi took back Xuzhou from Liu Zheng. If it weren't for this In the time when the farming season is busy and the common people have to cultivate, General Lu Zhi will definitely recover Yangzhou in one fell swoop!"

"Unexpectedly, not only did Liu Zheng not be a man with his tail between his legs, but he became even more serious, and now he dared to claim the title of emperor. I was so angry after learning what Yuan Shao did. Pass the order to start a full-scale war with Liu Zheng, and order Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. , cooperate with Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to attack Jingzhou with all strength, let Yanzhou Mu Liu Bei and chariot general Lu Zhi attack Yangzhou."

"I don't believe it, I can't deal with a mere Liu Zheng!"

He Miao didn't understand the situation clearly, and couldn't understand Liu Zheng's strength.I only thought that last year, when Lu Zhi joined forces with Yuan Shao to defeat Liu Zheng, and took Xuzhou and Qingzhou back from Liu Zheng's hands, He Miao thought Liu Zheng's strength was nothing more than that.

Obviously, He Miao had never fought Liu Zheng himself, so he didn't understand how terrible Liu Zheng was.

After He Miao's order was issued, none of the civil and military officials above the court dared to refute.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at each other.

They are all silent, not because they have no ideas, nor are they afraid to speak.

But those who dare to speak up and stand up against He Miao have all been eliminated by He Miao, and now in the court, it has become the opinion of He Miao's family.

At the same time that He Miao sent out the order, among the hundreds of officials, several people began to get together secretly.

These few people are all small officials who are not good at being reused by the court.

Servant Zhong Zhongji, Shangshu Servant Zheng Tai, Huangmen Servant Xun You, Yilang Wu Shuo.

These few people have moderate official positions, and they are the kind of people who want to do something and don't want to see the great Han court being led by He Miao and go downhill.

After these four people dispersed from the hall, they immediately gathered in one of them's room.

Xun You, the servant of the Huangmen, spoke first.

"Everyone, you have also seen what happened in the court today. He Miao doesn't pay attention to the emperor at all. The current court is still controlled by him alone. The emperor has become his puppet. There is no one at all." The right to speak."

"This Han Dynasty, under the control of He Miao, is already in turmoil. Before Yuan Shao replaced the Han and established a new emperor, and later Liu Zheng proclaimed himself emperor! In one world, there are three emperors! Tell me, this is Not a joke?"

Xun You's face was gloomy and cold. While saying these words, he also expressed his anger towards He Miao.

This Xun You is the nephew of the famous Wang Zuozhi talent Xun Yu.

Although Xun Yu is Xun You's uncle, Xun You is a few years older than Xun You.

Xun You was an aide of General He Jin in his early years, and he had a good impression of General He Jin, but since He Miao took office, these things he did really displeased Xun You.

In addition, Xun You's official position is Huangmen servant, and he is the personal staff of the little emperor, so Xun You can talk to the little emperor Liu Bian.

At the request of the little emperor Liu Bian, Xun You planned to gather some people to kill He Miao and revitalize the Han Dynasty.

Xun You recruited several people, all of whom were loyal to the Han Dynasty, and Xun You decided to rise up to help the little emperor Liu Bian and regain power in the world.

As long as He Miao is killed, all this can be realized.

"He Miao is too domineering. He is not an incompetent person at all. He is far from being as courageous as General He Jin. During the years he has been in charge, he has completely dragged down the entire big man. If it weren't for General Lu Zhi's support , the world of big men has long since disappeared."

Zhong Ji also spoke at this moment, and responded to Xun You, these people present have endured He Miao for a long time, and at this time today, it is finally difficult to bear it any longer.

"Everyone, it's up to God to make things happen, and it's up to people to plan things. It's time for us to prepare. I got the news that two days later, the court lieutenants in the imperial court will change their defenses. At that time, we will design to lure He Miao into the palace, and then we will directly send people to kill him." Kill He Miao, once He Miao is dead, we're done!"

Chapter 758 Yuan Shao's Attitude

Xun You told several people present about his plan, and immediately made them nod their heads in agreement.

In the imperial court, although some of the people belonged to He Miao, He Miao had offended too many people in recent days, and now many people had opinions on He Miao.

If they make a move to kill He Miao, although it will cause some shock, if this can change the little emperor back to power and save the great Han Dynasty, Xun You, Zhong Ji and others are still willing to do so.

"Gongda, this matter is very important. Although He Miao has aroused the hatred of many people in the court, after all, he has been in business for so long, and he still has many followers in the court. Once we kill him, Isn’t it dangerous, this matter is of great importance, we must be fully prepared.”

Zheng Tai, like Xun You, was a member of the former General He Jin. They were all officials recruited by He Jin, and they were He Jin's henchmen.

It was only after He Jin was killed by He Miao's strength that they all endured it and did not expose it directly, so they can now unite to deal with He Miao.

"Well, it would be better if there is a perfect plan."

"I do have a plan."

Wu Shuo, who hadn't spoken much all this time, said something at this moment, which immediately attracted the eyes of several other people.

Everyone looked at Wu Shuo at the same time, waiting for Wu Shuo to speak.

"Oh"

"It's like this, everyone, He Miao has a lot of followers in Luoyang, and we don't have any manpower. It's too difficult to kill He Miao directly. people."

"Who"

"In my opinion, General Lu Zhi is a good candidate. Compared with He Miao, General Cheqi has enough ability. Let General Cheqi take control of the overall situation. Not only can he rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but he can also expel Liu Zheng and Yuan Shao. These traitors."

Wu Shuo was born as a general, and he had some friendship with Lu Zhi in his early years.

Therefore, compared to letting He Miao be in power, Wu Shuo hoped that Lu Zhi would be in power. At least Lu Zhi's contacts and abilities over the years were obvious to all.

As soon as Wu Shuo said this sentence, he immediately got the approval of several other people.

"Well, General Chaqi is indeed a good candidate."

"However, General Che Qi is not in Luoyang now, so even if we want to ask him for help, we won't be able to contact him for a while."

Immediately there are still some doubts.

Wu Shuo immediately comforted him.

"Don't worry, I've already inquired about it. Because of the matter of Liu Zheng proclaiming the emperor, General Chaqi is already on his way to Luoyang. It is estimated that he will come to Luoyang in less than two days. It happens to be our action to kill He Qi. The days of seedlings."

"really"

When Xun You, Zhong Ji and the others heard Wu Shuo's words, they were startled and smiled.

Originally, they were not very sure about the things they did, but if Lu Zhi really participated in it, the possibility of success would be great.

After having a backbone, several people chatted more excitedly, and began to plot a specific plan for this operation.

And Yecheng, which is also in the north.

This is Yuan Shao's lair and the capital of the Northern Han Empire established by Yuan Shao.
