Chapter 665: The First Battle of the Xias!
As the emperor's seal was stamped on it, hundreds of imperial envoys went from Chang'an to all directions. One of them was an edict to be spread throughout the states and counties in the world, and the other was an imperial edict to grant an official to an individual. And the guard of honor of the gold seal and gold book that canonized the princes.

Until the gold books were handed over from their hands, the officials finally had a little memory of the glory of the imperial city in the past.

A few imperial envoys went to the west, and most of the imperial envoys went to the east. The three roads out of the customs went hand in hand.

Ma Teng and Han Sui happily accepted the imperial title. Ma Teng was not from Liangzhou, so he became the shepherd of Liangzhou, while Han Sui became the general with a heavy title, so the two had equal power.

But the two of them did not expect that everyone under their command would become dissatisfied, especially Han Sui's ministers. General Zhenxi had a high status, but Liangzhou Mu was not only an official position, but also meant that he could recruit his own staff. Suddenly, his power was not General Zhenxi can not compare.

Ma Teng's subordinates are also dissatisfied. This is a little knowledge. Although Zhou Mu has great power, his level is only two thousand stones in theory, which is lower than Jiuqing and not as good as Zhenxi General. This makes Ma Teng's subordinates very dissatisfied and think that he should The state pastor and the important general should be handed over to Ma Teng.

But Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't think so.

Especially Ma Teng said with emotion: "Everyone.

I, the Fufeng Ma family, was originally a prince, but now I am almost reduced to a warrior in the border county.

What is the status of a warrior in a border county?

If he hadn't had the opportunity like Dong Zhuo, he would have lived at the bottom of the chain of contempt for official positions in the Han Dynasty his whole life.

But now that I have such an opportunity, I can jump up and speak openly about my origins in the future.

If he can be granted the title of Marquis again in the future, he will truly be a proud ancestor.

As for the Han court's calculations, we will talk about it later. It would be too unwise to annex them simply because of a name issue. "

So Ma Teng's retainers suppressed their dissatisfaction in the bottom of their hearts, but Han Sui's retainers were still dissatisfied. They really got nothing.

When the emperor's envoy entered Chengdu via Hanzhong, Liu Yan had long been the shepherd of Yizhou and was granted the title of Emperor Ling. However, Li Jue and Guo Si gave Liu Yan the title of Bi San Gong.

Regarding whether to accept the canonization of the Chang'an court, Yizhou Wenwu went through a heated debate, and finally Liu Yan decided to accept it.

The reason is simple. He is a clan member of the Liu family, and now the Han Dynasty has declined to an unacceptable level.

If we do not support the royal family at this time, but instead trample the Han Dynasty into the mud, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In this thousand-year-old Bangzhou world where the Luo family existed, clan members had a very special status, and the price for betraying the royal family was heavy.

In the eyes of the world, you are a clan relative, wouldn't it be unfilial to betray the emperor?
Or just like Emperor Guangwu, directly proclaiming the world with a spear and a stick, that is, to do it yourself, the Chang'an court is waiting for me to harvest you, and I will do it myself in the Han Dynasty.

But Liu Yan didn't dare. He knew that he didn't have the strength and didn't want to be the target of public criticism, so he had to accept it.

Moreover, in Liu Yan's view, he was already a de facto separatist regime. Although he did not have Hanzhong in hand, which made him trapped in Chengdu, it was also very safe and difficult for outsiders to enter.

Jingzhou Liu Biao left the emperor's envoy in Jingzhou, neither saying he would accept it nor saying he wouldn't accept it, waiting for other people's reactions without seeing or listening.

The real target of Li Jue and Guo Si was the princes of the Central Plains.

Bingzhou, where Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were located, was the closest to Guanzhong and was the first to receive the order. Lu Bu's reaction was exactly the same as that of Ma Teng and Han Sui. Li Jue and Guo Si themselves were border commanders, and they knew the psychology of these border commanders very clearly. .

People like Lu Bu simply couldn't refuse the rewards from the court. After all, they had nothing and were rejected by the mainstream. They must do their best to get these orthodox names on themselves.

But after the emperor went to Jizhou and Yanzhou, the expected and reasonable results finally appeared.

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao looked at the imperial edict from the Chang'an court and threw it on the ground. His face was full of ridicule, and then he said to Jizhou Civil and Military: "This Li Jue and Guo Si, could it be that they drained the water of the river?" Is it in his head?

He kidnapped the emperor and issued random orders, but he still expected me to follow them?
Even if Mount Tai fills up the North Sea, I will never obey such a chaotic order.

Immediately send a message to the world, criticizing Li Jue and Guo Si, letting the world know my Yuan Shao's intentions. In addition, the emperor must also be denounced in the imperial edict.

Liu Xie is Dong Zhuoli's emperor, facing the brother-killing Xiliang people, he didn't know how to resist, and even helped Dong Yuxie to abuse him. Isn't this embarrassing for the former emperor of the Han Dynasty? "

Regarding the imperial edict, Hebei civil and military officials had the same attitude, which is ridiculous. Regarding Liu Xie, Yuan Shao's consistent attitude was not to recognize his throne.

Jushou even asked directly: "My lord, this edict clearly exposes the ambition of a wolf. I confer you the title of Marquis of Ji and Gongsun Zan the title of Marquis of Ye. This is an attempt to provoke a confrontation between you and Gongsun Zan.

Li Jue and Guo Si knew that Cao Cao occupied Henan, and that Hanoi was occupied by your vassal Zhou Cang, but they deliberately appointed you as the governor of Henan and Cao Cao as the governor of Hanoi. This is to provoke the relationship between you and Cao Cao.

Gongsun Zan is a brainless border warrior. He must know that you will not accept the imperial court's reward, so he will definitely accept the imperial court's reward.

Then Gongsun Zan will definitely come to attack Jizhou in the name of your violation of the imperial decree, which we have to be prepared for. "

Yuan Shao heard this and said loudly: "Isn't this exactly what we are pursuing?

The humiliation a year ago, when Gongsun Zan marched on Jizhou and Hebei ceded territory to seek peace. This humiliation burned my heart every day and every night.

Every day I have to drink bitter wine to fall asleep!
Can you guys forget?

I, Yuan Shao, dare not forget for a moment! "

Everyone's faces stopped laughing, and Yuan Shao continued: "A year ago, I said that I wanted to wash away my shame. Now it seems it's time!"

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the other generals all stood up, clasped their fists and shouted loudly: "I am willing to be the vanguard!"

A group of top advisers kept making calculations and nodded slowly. Gongsun Zan is very strong, but Jizhou is capable of fighting now. If the lord wants to fight, he will fight.

If Gongsun Zan is allowed to continue to develop and completely digest the Jizhou land obtained a year ago, then he really doesn't know what the future will be like.

Under the strong pressure of Gongsun Zan and the strong suppression of Yuan Shao, the current Hebei can be said to be united and united.

Everyone left, only Jushou and Xun Chen remained in the room. One was the leader of the Hebei gentry, the other was the leader of the Yingchuan gentry, and the other was Bie Jia, the deputy of Jizhou, and the master of Yuan Shao, who had a very high status.

Yuan Shao left these two people behind, and everyone knew that something big was going on.

Yuan Shao didn't hide it and said directly: "I heard that Lu Bulu Fengxian has a daughter who has grown hair and is of marriageable age.

My eldest son is not yet married. I want to marry Lu Bu's daughter for him. What do you think? "

Marriage?

The two were stunned for a moment, knowing that Yuan Shao had the idea of ​​marrying Lv Bu. Lv Bu now occupies Bingzhou, which has a strong military strength, and Bingzhou is just west of Youzhou.

Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry was not weaker than Gongsun Zan's Youzhou cavalry and white horse Yi Cong. If they could get Lu Bu's help, Jizhou would fight head-on. Then Lu Bu suddenly led his cavalry to attack Gongsun Zan's rear.

Gongsun Zan will be defeated!
Jushou frowned and said, "It would be great if Lu Bu is willing to join forces, but he has just accepted the reward from Chang'an. Will he be willing to agree to join forces with us?"

Xun Chen pondered for a while and said: "Lü Bu is a military man from the border county. As long as the benefits promised are big enough, he won't care about it. Besides, what is the imperial edict of Chang'an?
The lord is the fourth generation and the third prince, and the Luo family is not born. The lord represents the face of the noble family. Although Lu Bu is unbearable, he will not fail to understand this truth.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan came from a wealthy family with two thousand stones in the surrounding county, while Lu Bu came from a poor family. As long as we make it more jealous in front of Lu Bu, we say that Gongsun Zan once looked down on Lu Bu.

The lord married him again as the fourth generation and the third prince, and married his legitimate daughter into the Yuan family. Would he still disagree? "

Jushou had to admit that Xun Chen was right. This was Yuan Shao's natural advantage. His status as the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, his disciples and former officials all over the world was a great addition to him. As long as he had a better attitude, he would be a courteous and virtuous corporal. As long as he gave face, he would be It brings glory to people's faces.

The Luo family and the Five Surnames and Seven Families all play this way. If you take advantage of me, you have to thank me, because I only take yours and not others. This is to give you face.

The marriage between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu really gave Lu Bu face in this era.

Although Lu Bu is now a prince, his position is actually not stable.

Because the Bingzhou gentry still did not recognize him.

Especially from the current point of view, although according to the usual practice, the Bingzhou nobles sent out other soldiers to work, but no Bingzhou nobles have sent outstanding sons to serve Lu Bu.

Tangtang Bingzhou Mu, now doesn't even have a mastermind, which has to be said to be a political failure.

In this case, the marriage between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu is sending a signal to the Bingzhou nobles. Lu Bu is from my faction. You can start to be loyal. Even if Lu Bu fails, you can transfer to me. I will Accept you all.

The only person sacrificed here was Yuan Shao's eldest son, but for a family, it is very normal for a family to sacrifice you to achieve political goals, and not every family is a Luo family.

Seeing that both Jushou and Xun Chen agreed, Yuan Shao said directly: "It's not too late, You Ruo, you go to select reliable people, this matter must be done quietly, and Gongsun Zan must not be aware of it.

First finish all the marriage certificates, etc., and finalize the marriage contract, so that An Lubu can understand that it will not be made public for the time being. "

Xun Chen took the order and came out. Yuan Shao said to Jushu: "Gong Yu, what do you think we have a chance of winning in this battle with Gongsun Zan?"

Jushou said in a deep voice: "There is no one who can definitely win in a war. If there is no Lu Bu, it is [-]%. If there is Lu Bu, it is still [-]%."

Yuan Shao nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, [-]%, only [-]%, these Youzhou iron cavalry come and go like the wind, it is really difficult to win the battle.

But if you can't even defeat Gongsun Zan, how can you talk about going south to fight?
You and Jiqing, with these four states, the way of king and dominion is basically enough.

If he doesn't defeat Gongsun Zan, he will be trapped in Jizhou. What if he can contact the Yan State?
How much can it increase the chance of winning? "

Yan country?

Now Jushou was really shocked and said anxiously: "My lord, how can we contact the Yan State? The Yan State is a foreign enemy of the Han Dynasty, so-called brothers..."

Before Ju Shou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Shao, "Where is there a big man? Who is the emperor of the big man? Without the emperor, whose subject would I be?

A year ago, Zhaocheng came to mediate. A kingdom of Xia that is independent from the Han court, can it mediate for the two princes of the Han Dynasty?
When Gongsun Zan and I signed the armistice agreement, these were two vassal states, but no one broke through this layer of window paper.

Yan country.

That is a decent Zhuxia country. I form an alliance with the Zhuxia countries to defeat powerful enemies. What is wrong?
Gongyu, times have changed, and you should take a longer view. "

Yuan Shao's eyes were shining brightly, and Jushou had to admit that what Yuan Shao said was quite reasonable.

But after some thought, he shook his head and said, "My lord, what you said is correct. I am a little stuck in a rut.

But it’s too late now, and we know too little about the Yan Kingdom.

The most important thing is that the nobles of Yan State are not like the gentry of Bingzhou, we know enough about them.

The decision to form an alliance cannot be made lightly.

After this battle, you can start to try to understand the country of Yan. Whether you win or lose, you can pinch Gongsun Zan. "

After all, Yuan Shao was not a counselor, and his plan had to be confirmed by these counselors in the end. Seeing Jushu giving his opinion, Yuan Shao thought about it for a while, then put the idea aside for the time being, and began to prepare his army for war, to fight Gongsun Zan to the death.

Before the rise of the Yan State, Youzhou had a large area. However, after the rise of the Yan State, they fought all the way from Liaodong. Needless to say, the four counties of Korea, and the parts of Liaoxi County other than the Great Wall were basically taken away by the Yan State. .If Chen Fan hadn't been the shepherd of Youzhou, the Yan State could have even invaded the Great Wall of Youbeiping County. Then the Gongsun family would have been a wealthy family in the border counties of the Yan State, not a wealthy family in the border counties of the Han Dynasty.

At present, Yan State and Youzhou are basically demarcated by the Great Wall. Youzhou governs seven counties: Dai County, Shanggu County, Zhuo County, Ji County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County.

Ji County.

This was the seat of the former governor of Youzhou, and the current seat of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. Gongsun Zan was working as a special agent, so naturally he also worked here.

After the imperial court's decree came to Youzhou, Liu Yu and Liu Yan had the same reaction. The imperial court gave Liu Yu a high status, and most importantly, gave Liu Yu the power to control the festival.

This made Gongsun Zan almost crazy with jealousy. Compared with Liu Yu, his position as a county prince and as a general in the north seemed a little unimportant.

After the decree came, Gongsun Zan was furious and said angrily: "Liu Yu is just a rotten scholar. Youzhou is a stronghold of military strategists. How can he get the power of justice?

General Zhenbei is a heavy-duty general.

A general with a heavy title does not have the power to uphold discipline, but a Youzhou shepherd has the power to uphold discipline. Isn't this contempt for me? "

Just as Yuan Shao expected, although Gongsun Zan scolded him, he accepted the court's reward honestly.

Liu Yu added the power of Youzhou Shepherd with the title of San Gong to bless the festival. If he did not add Zhenbei General and County Marquis, his status in front of Liu Yu would be too low.

His dream is not to be an auxiliary minister, he wants to become a real prince. Just like Yuan Shao died in person, he also died in person. This is the characteristic of the wealthy families in the border counties.

After both of them accepted the imperial edict, the emperor's envoy took out another imperial edict and said to Liu Yu: "Mr. Liu, sir, your Majesty has an imperial edict for you two.

Today, the country of the Han Dynasty is becoming more and more unstable. There are more and more rebels in the world who are unwilling to obey the Han Dynasty. Mr. Liu, you are the elder of the Liu family and a well-known Confucian. In the world of the Han Dynasty, You still need a lot of trouble.

Now I am granting you the power to hold the chastity, this is to enable you to conquer the enemy, just like how King Wu of Zhou gave Jiang Taigong the power to conquer.

If there is a traitor who disobeys the Han Dynasty, you can obey my order and go to attack him. Contact the ministers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and jointly defend the Han Dynasty.

Gongsunqing came from a wealthy family in the nearby county, and his family is a family of two thousand shi.

How many such rich families are there in the world?

But not all of them are like Gongsun Qing. They received the favor of the royal family, but they were unwilling to pledge their allegiance. Instead, they harbored rebellious thoughts in their hearts.

This is what the world despises and this is what I hate. Please also sincerely cooperate with Liu Gong to discuss the great cause and serve the country wholeheartedly. "

What Li Jue and Guo Si said was so high-sounding that it made Liu Yu frown slightly and Gongsun Zan's face was filled with joy.

This was tailor-made for him. He knew that Yuan Shao would definitely not accept the reward from Chang'an. That hypocritical man would definitely not recognize Liu Xie's throne. This was his opportunity.

The last time he conquered Jizhou, he achieved a complete victory, but after returning, Liu Yu had a fierce conflict with himself.

Now that there is an emperor, we have to see what else Liu Yu can say, whether he will say some nonsense about peace being the most precious thing.

Liu Yu frowned because he also thought of this, but when the situation reached this point, he knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

As soon as the emperor's envoy left, Gongsun Zan said directly to Liu Yu: "Mr. Liu, Yuan Shao of Jizhou is an arrogant and arrogant person who only relies on his status. He flaunts himself and has always been unwilling to recognize your majesty's throne. This time He will definitely not accept the imperial edict. Do you think this is considered rebellion against the imperial court?"

Liu Yu was unwilling to answer this question, but Gongsun Zan forced him to answer. Liu Yu could only reply: "If Yuan Shao is really unwilling to accept the imperial edict, then he is naturally rebelling against the imperial court."

Gongsun Zan wanted this answer and immediately said: "Should those who rebel against the imperial court obey your Majesty's imperial decree and attack him?"

Liu Yu frowned, and suddenly Liu Yu's staff ran in from outside. Seeing Gongsun Zan still here, his face couldn't help but change, and he whispered in his ear: "My lord, there are envoys from Yuan Shao coming."

Yuan Shao's envoy?
Even though it was such a low voice, Gongsun Zan heard it and immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "It's Yuan Shao's envoy who is here. I really don't know how he dares to send people here. I want to hear what he wants to say.

This feudal kingdom is still in the hands of Yuan Shao, and it will be taken back sooner or later! "

Yuan Shao's envoy walked in and was not surprised to see Gongsun Zan there. Liu Yu asked Yuan Shao what the envoy was doing, and the envoy said directly: "Grand Liu, my lord knows that an envoy from Chang'an is coming to Youzhou. It must have brought about the chaos of Li Jue and Guo Si.

The Yuan family has been loyal to the court for generations, but isn't the current emperor of Chang'an a puppet?

Wasn't the edict you received written by Li Jue and Guo Si?

What kind of wolf and devil is Li Jue and Guo Si?

Dong Zhuo killed Emperor Xiaomin. Li Jue and Guo Si were Dong Zhuo's generals. They also looted Chang'an. Isn't this Dong Zhuo's accomplice?
Now by accepting their orders, are we safeguarding the Han Dynasty, or are we trampling on the face of the late emperor of the Han Dynasty?

Liu Gong.

I once heard that among the Liu family, the virtuous one should be the emperor. This is how Emperor Guangwu ascended to the throne of emperor.

Now that the Han Dynasty has lost the order of the Emperor, doesn't this prove that the imperial line has been transferred from the Ling Emperor line?
You are the elder among the Liu family, and your virtue has always been recognized by the people of the world. If you were to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the world would definitely be able to restore peace.

I am willing to follow your will to bring peace to the world and bring the Han Dynasty back to its throne. I am not willing to follow the emperor who was coerced by Li Jue and Guo Si, two rebellious ministers and traitors, to bring trouble to the world.

These are some of my thoughts, and I would like to tell you here. I respectfully request you to ascend the position of emperor and lead the world! "

Yuan Shao's letter made Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu dumbfounded. They never expected that Yuan Shao was not only unwilling to obey the decree of the Chang'an court, but also directly wanted to support Liu Yu as emperor.

Liu Yu immediately wanted to refuse. He knew very well that even Gongsun Zan had not completely settled the situation and had not fully mastered Youzhou, let alone becoming the emperor.

But Gongsun Zan didn't think so. He immediately became extremely vigilant. If Liu Yu really hooked up with Yuan Shao, it would be a disaster for him.

Liu Yu knew what Gongsun Zan was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, and couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan. Apart from being good at fighting, Gongsun Zan was useless. What's even more frightening was that Gongsun Zan himself didn't think so and always tried to use his brain.

Of course, Yuan Shao knew that Liu Yu would not agree. This was a conspiracy and was useless to most people. But to deal with people like Gongsun Zan who had long been dissatisfied with Liu Yu and full of suspicion, this trick was very useful.

Yuan Shao's envoy Shi Shiran left here. Gongsun Zan asked sadly: "Envoy, are you unwilling to attack Yuan Shao because you want to be the emperor?"

Liu Yu stared at Gongsun Zan fiercely and said, "Do you really think you can defeat Yuan Shao?

Since you want to take the nobles and people of Youzhou to die, then let you go, I am waiting for you to be defeated and flee back to Youzhou, looking in a miserable state! "

After saying that, he left angrily. When Liu Yu said this, Gongsun Zan suddenly turned pale, his expression kept changing, and he said fiercely: "Old bastard, after I finish dealing with Yuan Shao, I will let you know that there are some things you cannot say casually!"

Liu Bei accepted the reward from the Chang'an court. He is the one who least wants the Han Dynasty to collapse. He wants to return to the path of Emperor Guangwu. His ultimate goal is to have Liu Xie personally wear the crown of the Han Dynasty emperor on his On the head, it would be really funny to kill the emperor now.

The attitude of Yinghou Luochuan and Erlu towards the Chang'an court is very complicated. At present, there is really no one who can carry the banner of the Han Dynasty. The current situation is much worse than that of the late Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Chang'an court at least still had Luo Qi, who had full authority to communicate on behalf of the royal family. Now Li Jue and Guo Si are just two lunatics.

The final recipients of this award are Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. This is actually the biggest pitfall!

Yuan Shao did not accept the imperial court's reward. No matter what considerations he had, Yuan Shu would definitely accept it.

Yuan Shu's territory was Runan County, which was the most populous county in Yuzhou. His goal was to occupy Huaisi in Xuzhou, which was Xiang Ying in the late Qin Dynasty. It was later changed back to its ancient name of Pengcheng, and then occupied Yangzhou as Yangzhou pastoralist.

Sun Jian was a vassal of Yuan Shu. As a result, the imperial court directly conferred the title of Yangzhou Mu on Sun Jian, occupying Yuan Shu's territory.

The problem came again. Sun Jian only occupied the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang in Yangzhou. With Luo Chu here, he couldn't enter Wu County at all, let alone Yuzhang County below, although it was in Yangzhou, he occupied Yuzhang on time. The governor of Zhang County was a vassal of Liu Biao, while Kuaiji County was subordinate to Wu County.

Luo Chu, of course, dismissed the imperial decree as nothing. As soon as the imperial decree was issued, he was immediately ready to lead the armies of Wu and Kuaiji counties to Danyang to confront Sun Jian.

Now Yuan Shu has a sense of distrust towards Sun Jian, and Luo Chu and Sun Jian are even more directly opposed, unless Sun Jian can give up the idea of ​​taking control of Yangzhou.

Everyone never expected that the first person affected by this edict would be Yangzhou, which would become more tense than Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

This was really not intentional by Li Jue and Guo Si. Luo Chu's existence was only circulated among the circles of Jiangdong nobles, and the outside world did not know that the Jiangdong nobles had chosen half of their lord.

Yanzhou and Yuzhou live in the world, Cao Cao can naturally receive all the news in Yanzhou, then he looked around and was shocked to find that only his boss Yuan Shao explicitly rejected the court's reward.

Facing this situation, Cao Cao had a headache. Since Yuan Shao chose not to accept it, as Yuan Shao's half vassal, Cao Cao naturally couldn't accept it.

However, he still numbly asked the opinion of Xun Yu, the chief counselor whom he relied on the most at present. Xun Yu, who was able to suppress everyone under the circumstances of the Xun family's generation, was naturally extremely talented.

He is basically omnipotent, able to govern the country and make suggestions, and the most important point is that Xun Yu is very good at training the lord.

This ability instantly opened the gap between him and other advisers. He was no longer a simple talent of Wang Zuo, but a great talent who could compete with people like Guan Zhong for the position of ancient fame and prime minister.

Facing Cao Cao, who was very worried at first glance, Xun Yu strengthened his courage for Cao Cao, "Cao Cao, you are Yuan Shao's ally. Even if you betray Yuan Shao now, what can you gain?

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are brothers from the same school. If they defeat Yuan Shao, then you will be next. With your wisdom, how can you not understand this truth?
Besides, Yuan Shao is a great man in the world. Hebei has advisers like rain and generals like clouds. The heroes in the world are Yuan Shao and Duke Cao. If you two join forces, what is there to worry about?

Liu Biao was riding alone in Jingzhou, now he is getting old, but he is also talented, although he is useless to defend Jingzhou, but it can also be used as a restraint.

Neither Yuan Shu nor Sun Jian can go north, so there is no need to worry about being attacked by enemies.

Yuan Shao can defeat Gongsun Zan, and the lord only needs to fight against Liu Bei. Are you worried that he will not be the opponent of Liu Bei, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes? "

In order to encourage Cao Cao, Xun Yu sincerely said many things against his will, such as describing Liu Bei as a mat weaver and shoe seller. In fact, Xun Yu quite recognized Liu Bei and thought Liu Bei was a hero.

Cao Cao naturally knew that Liu Bei was a great man, but he believed that he was no weaker than others in his life. No matter who came to make Cao Cao restrain his hands, it was all nonsense.

Cao Cao quickly cheered up, put those worries behind him, and said: "Then I will not accept the orders of the Chang'an court, but don't directly criticize the emperor like Yuan Shao.

Some counselors advised me before that if I could get an emperor, I could use him to command the world, just like what Li Jue and Guo Si are doing now.

Now it seems that it is indeed useful, so he sent a letter accusing Li Jue and Guo Si of coercing His Majesty. This is a random order issued by Li Jue and Guo Si. In addition, he asked Li Jue and Guo Si to quickly release the emperor to Luoyang, because Luoyang is the world. In the middle is the imperial capital of Han Dynasty. "

Sending Luoyang back, wouldn't that mean putting it in Cao Cao's hands?
Xun Yu nodded and left here.

The turmoil caused by this edict was far from over, especially as Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were gathering heavy troops, which let everyone know that the war between Jizhou and Youzhou was about to begin.

One month after the edict was issued, under the witness of Zhou Cang, the governor of Hebei, Yuan Shao, the herdsman of Jizhou, Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, and Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, each sent envoys to jointly swear an oath in Hanoi County to kill Li Jue and Guo Si.

At this time, the other princes could not sit still. Yuan Shu, the general of Zhennan, Liu Bei, the pastor of Qingzhou, and Gongsun Zan, the general of Zhenbei, also sent envoys to jointly swear to obey the emperor's will and safeguard the banner of the Han Dynasty.

This situation made everyone a little unexpected. They never expected that it would lead to such a situation. This has never happened before.

The world immediately became tense, and countless armies were mobilized to face the unknown future.

----

In the third year of Jian'an, the de facto ruler of the Chang'an court, Li Jue and Guo Si, promulgated the "Jian'an Edict". The promulgation of the "Jian'an Edict" is known as the direct trigger of the first Zhuxia War in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, or active, Or passively, a large number of princes joined this battle. This was the first war to affect such a wide range since the war between the Xia Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty, and it had an extremely far-reaching impact. ——"History of War in the Late Eastern Han Dynasty"
