Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"Now the streets and alleys are spreading the news of Dong Zhuo proclaiming himself emperor!"

Liu Biao was puzzled and said, "Didn't it be yesterday that Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor? Dong Zhuo has been planning this day for several months."

Cai Mao continued: "It's not that, it's about Dong Zhuo killing Liu Xie after he proclaimed himself emperor."

"What?" Liu Biao stood up abruptly, furious.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Liu Biao coughed in anger, and after a while, he said out of breath, "When did this happen, why haven't I heard about it?"

Cai Mao explained: "This morning, it suddenly spread in the city of Xiangyang. I ordered my soldiers to interrogate some people. They said they heard it from the merchants in the past."

"The traitor Dong Zhuo, I am at odds with you!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Liu Biao coughed again in excitement.

Kuai Yue asked worriedly: "My lord, Emperor Xian is dead. There is no orthodoxy in this great Han country. What should we do next?"

Cai Mao said: "Since the lord is a relative of the Han family, he should continue the blood of the Han family and become king, and compete with Dong Zhuo in a separate court."

Cai Mao thought that if Liu Biao became the emperor, he would be the uncle of the country, and Liu Biao's health was not good. If his sister conceived a son before Liu Biao died, then he might be able to follow Lu Buwei's example and become a second father.

In this way, their Cai family has truly become the first family of Jingzhou, and even the entire Han Dynasty.

"No!" Liu Biao hurriedly stopped.

How could he accept such rebellious words, and he was not the only one in the clan of the Han Dynasty, so how could he make decisions by himself, not to mention that there was an envoy of the clan of the Han Dynasty outside.

Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao and asked, "My lord, I saw Liu Bei's subordinate Sun Gan outside the door just now, what is he doing here?"

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "I also just received a report from my servant that Sun Gan has something to ask for an appointment!"

Kuai Yue thought for a while and said, "It must be that Liu Bei also heard about His Majesty's murder, and then instigated the Lord to attack Dong Zhuo."

"What?" Cai Mao looked angry.

Hasn't Liu Bei been taught enough?How dare he provoke Dong Zhuo with only his few troops?

It is said that Cao Shuo led an army and had been stationed in Luoyang for several days, but he did not take the opportunity to attack Hangu Pass. How could he, Liu Bei, have the courage to challenge Dong Zhuo.

Liu Biao said, "Call him in and see what he has to say!"

"Wait!"

Kuai Yue stopped the guard who was going to report the letter.

Liu Biao asked in bewilderment, "What else do you need for a different degree?"

Kuai Yue replied: "Master, no matter what the other party says later, let us deal with it!"

Liu Biao thought for a while and nodded.

"Your official, Sun Gan, met Liu Zhoumu!"

Liu Biao asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Gongyou, is there anything you want to do in Xiangyang?"

Chapter 279 Yuan Shu's Little Thoughts

In the early morning of the fourth day of March, Shouchun, Jiujiang County, Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu, who had just woken up, came to the courtyard, and heard the servants talking there, his face darkened.

"Come over here!"

Several servants obediently came to Yuan Shu's side, looking at Yuan Shu with trepidation.

"What are you doing, don't you see me? Don't prepare meals yet."

Yuan Shu scolded and glared at them angrily.

One of them said: "Master, there are no vegetable sellers on the street today, so we can only drink some rice porridge and eat some meat."

Yuan Shu said angrily, "What are the vegetable sellers doing? How can I eat meat in the morning?"

The man replied: "The vegetable farmers are talking about Dong Zhuo at home, and no one comes out to sell vegetables."

"About Dong Zhuo? How dare a group of ordinary people talk about state affairs?"

Yuan Shu was very surprised. It's okay, why are they talking about Dong Zhuo, shouldn't they be talking about themselves?

"After Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor, he provoked the wrath of the heavens and caused divine punishment. He killed Dong Zhuo's family. Dong Zhuo narrowly escaped death, blamed the responsibility on His Majesty, and killed His Majesty."

"what?"

Yuan Shu looked at them in disbelief, you dare to curse the emperor, you are really impatient.

"Report, don't drive Yuan Yin, Jiujiang prefect Liu Xun, Zhonglang general Ji Ling, infantry captain Zhang Xun and others please see me!"

Yuan Shu frowned. These people came at the same time, there must be something important. Could it be true what these servants said?

If this is the case, isn't he doing whatever he wants in Yangzhou?

Yuan Shu hurriedly came to the conference hall, saw the anxious faces of the people, and asked, "What do you gentlemen want me for?"

Ji Ling hurriedly replied: "My lord, have you ever heard of the rumors circulating this morning?"

"gossip?"

Yuan Shu was taken aback for a moment, he had just woken up and hadn't had breakfast yet, so he didn't care to listen to rumors.

Yuan Yin said: "Brother, the news of Shouchun City has been spread now. After Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor, he killed Liu Xie. He was condemned by heaven and cut off the queen."

Li Feng objected: "It is obvious that Dong Zhuo proclaimed the emperor and angered the heavens. The whole family was hacked to death, and then Dong Zhuo killed Liu Xie in a rage."

Ji Ling: ...

Everyone held their own rhetoric, which made Yuan Shu look confused. Who said this is true?

However, Yuan Shu summed up the key points. Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Xie died, and Dong Zhuo lost his queen.

For him, Liu Xie's death is the most important thing.

"My lords, my lords, don't discuss any more!" Yuan Shu hurriedly tried to dissuade them when he saw that everyone was arguing red-faced.

Yuan Yin asked: "My lords, the great man has ushered in the darkest moment. Dong Zhuo's succession to the throne is not orthodox. The princes of the world will certainly not listen to him. We need to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."

Li Feng suggested: "The clansmen of the Han Dynasty are scattered in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and we have a few in Yangzhou. My lord, why don't you find a wise man and make him emperor. When the time comes, the lord will take the emperor to command the princes. Wouldn't it be beautiful."

Liu Xun said: "This is inappropriate. If other princes follow suit, who is orthodox without the jade seal? Then the person we choose will become a decoration."

Yuan Yin suggested: "The great Han has already collapsed, why should we establish the surname Liu? Doesn't the lord have the appearance of an emperor? The lord understands righteousness, loves the people like a son, and clearly rewards and punishes. Isn't it a better candidate?"

Everyone looked at Yuan Yin in surprise. He is Yuan Shu's younger brother. Does his opinion represent Yuan Shu's opinion?

Li Feng said: "Lord Yuan is right. Our lord is ten times stronger than Dong Zhuo. If he can be called emperor, why can't our lord be able to?"

Ji Ling also echoed: "My lord is so talented and mighty, he will definitely become the emperor through the ages."

Looking at the people under his command, Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and there was no objection, which is really great.

Yuan Shu said excitedly: "Zhu, lords, hurry up and discuss, what country name should we use, and when will we be called emperor?"

Yuan Yin suggested: "The Yuan family originated in Chendi, and the lower officials suggested that Chen should be used as the country name."

Li Feng said: "My lord, all the princes are waiting and watching now. It is not easy for the lord to become the emperor directly. It is better to be the king of Chen first and see the reactions of the princes, so as not to be targeted by the princes."

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Okay, then first become the king and then the emperor."

Liu Xun said: "My lord, it's not too late for this matter, it's better to be in the middle of the month!"

mid month?

Yuan Shu thought about it, there are still more than ten days in the middle of the month, and these ten days are very difficult.

Li Feng said: "My lord, there are still eleven days until the middle of the month. We still have to draw up the roster of civil and military officials, choose the princess, sacrifice, etc., isn't it a bit hasty?"

Yuan Shu said eagerly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!"

Yuan Shu wished he could become king now, so as to save himself many nights and dreams.

Seeing Yuan Shu's eagerness, everyone stopped trying to persuade him and began to discuss all the matters needed to become king.

Qiao Rui looked at the smiling Yuan Shu and said, "My lord, choosing a concubine is also an important matter. In the future, my lord will become emperor, and someone must succeed me. Now my lord has only one son, so I must take this opportunity to recruit more concubines."

Yuan Shu looked at Qiao Rui in surprise. How do you know me so well? I only have seven or eight concubines, which is far from three thousand. I have to choose a hundred or ten carefully.

Li Feng suggested: "All the counties in Yangzhou can be ordered to select beauties and select princesses."

Qiao Rui said: "My lord, brother Xiaguan has two daughters who are well-educated and courteous, beautiful and beautiful, and well-known in the local area."

Yuan Shu asked eagerly, "Where is the man?"

"Wan County, if my lord thinks it's appropriate, I'll discuss it with my elder brother."

"Appropriate, appropriate!"

Chapter 280 Has Bo Fu ever heard of Jiangdong Erqiao?

Not long after Sun Ce woke up in Wujun, Yangzhou, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, Huang Gai, Zhu Heng from Zhu's family in Wujun, Zhang Yun from Zhang's family in Wujun, and others rushed to Sun Ce's residence.

"Why are you here?" Sun Ce looked surprised.

Zhang Zhao said: "My lord, rumors suddenly spread in Wu County this morning. After I heard about it, I came here to discuss with my lord."

Sun Ce asked in bewilderment, "What rumors?"

"Dong Zhuo became emperor, Liu Xie was killed!"

This is the result of several people's discussions. As for the news about Dong Zhuo's decision, I don't know if it is true or not.

But Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor to the world, and no one dared to lie about the murder of Liu Xie. This is a serious crime against the nine clans.

"what?"

Sun Ce was very surprised, Liu Xie died?So what's the point of this big man?

Sun Ce sighed: "It is really unexpected that the 400-year foundation of the great man was destroyed by Dong Bandit."

Liu Xie has no heirs, and Liu Bian has no heirs either. If he wants to establish a new king, he must be selected from other Han clansmen.

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, the Great Han Dynasty was destroyed, and we just took the opportunity to attack Kuaiji!"

Lu Su worried: "Gong Jin, there is no need to rush this matter. Tang Mao's daughter Tang Ji is in the hands of Cao Shuo. They have an unclear relationship. Once Cao Shuo is angered, it will definitely be detrimental to the development of our army. "

The Zhang family advocated Yun and said: "Tang Ji is a native of Kuaiji County. She has been beautiful since she was a child, and was taught by Cai Yong. She stood out from many concubines and became Liu Bian's queen. With Cao Shuo's lustful character, It is very likely that Tang Ji has become the elder brother's concubine, but it has not been made public."

He paused and continued: "Tang Hao has no ambitions in Kuaiji County, and he has been troubled by Shanyue recently, so he will not pose a threat to us for the time being. Once we attack Kuaiji County, Cao Shuo will cut off the horse business with our army. If we want Tuyuan in the future, we may encounter considerable resistance.”

Zhu Heng agreed: "Uncle Zhang is right. Tang Mao can't move now. Our army doesn't have enough strength to take Cao Shuo's revenge."

"Humph!"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said, "Our army takes the Yangtze River as a natural danger. Even if Cao Shuo's cavalry is invincible, he can't cross the Yangtze River. If our army is afraid of Cao Shuo now, how can we compete with him for hegemony in the Central Plains in the future?"

Huang Gai agreed: "Our army is far away from Cao Shuo. Even if he wanted to avenge Tang Mao, he would have to go beyond Yuan Shu and Cao Cao's territory. If we don't take advantage of this golden opportunity to take Kuaiji , it will be even more difficult to attack Kuaiji County in the future."

Sun Jing said: "Tang Mao's generals Dong Xi and Ling Cao are heroes, while Gu Yong, Yu Fan, and Kan Ze are great sages in the world. If they are allowed to gain power, they will definitely become a serious problem for our army in the future. It is better to test the opponent's attitude first and let them He handed over the Gu family to see the other party's reaction."

Zhou Yu agreed, "Uncle Youtai's plan is very clever. If Tang Mao refuses to hand it over, we can use this as an excuse to attack Kuaiji County."

Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Then according to uncle's plan, send someone to Kuaiji County to communicate with Tang Mao."

Sun Jing glanced at Sun Ce's backyard, saw the deserted place, couldn't help sighing, and said, "Bo Fu is young and strong, why don't you marry more concubines?"

Sun Ce said: "Father's revenge has not yet been avenged, and the foundation is only in the land of the three counties. How dare I do anything wrong?"

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu's words are wrong. As the leader of an army, of course, the more heirs, the better, so as to avoid worries."

Sun Ce has no heirs so far, so who will inherit his inheritance in the future?

Zhou Yu had to think about it for him.

"Hey, I'm busy with military affairs, how can I have time to think about these things?"

Sun Jing said: "I'll talk to my sister-in-law about this and ask her to find some for you. There are so many beauties in Yangzhou, can't you find a few that I like?"

"My lord, since Yan Yan came to join the lord, I haven't made any achievements yet, so I will go to Kuaiji County as an envoy to discuss with Tang Mao how to drive the Gu family out of Kuaiji County!"

Yan Jian volunteered to stand up and looked at Sun Ce expectantly.

Sun Ce thought for a while, and found that Yan Tian's ability and eloquence were really good, so it was perfect for him to go.
