Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118 Yuan Shu Proclaims Emperor
In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, Baitu moved the administrative office to Moling, and changed its original name to "Jinling".

Although the documents for the imperial court were still on the way, Bai Tu had already moved the Prefectural Mufu.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a "surprise" came from Huainan!
Yuan Shu officially proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, named him the Zhong family, and called himself the emperor of the Zhong family. He appointed hundreds of officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and to inform the world...

This news came directly from Yuan Shu through "Zhong Ji", because Yuan Shu's territory spans the four states of Henan, Xu, Yang and Jing. Now he suddenly wants to stand on his own behalf on behalf of the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to pulling the Cheng Ji from Huainan and part of the Central Plains. , withdrew from the Han group and established a new group, so in name the governors or state pastors of these four states, as well as the Han court, got the news immediately!

He couldn't wait to stand on his own on the first day of the first lunar month, a month earlier than in history. I don't know whether it was because Yuan Shu was really more confident, or because the defeats in Jiangdong and Xuzhou made him jump over the wall in a hurry...

In the past, it was fun and fun, but at least no princes made fun of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty!

Although there were people who proclaimed themselves emperors, they were all small groups of rebels who occupied a small mountain den for their own enjoyment. The separatist forces that could truly be called the princes along the way did not raise the banner of anti-Han in name.

Even after the two defeats, Yuan Shu's strength is still at the forefront among the various princes in the Han Dynasty today, and his war potential is still there - the areas occupied by Yuan Shu are almost all densely populated and cultivated areas!
At least no prince today dares to say that he is stronger than Yuan Shu.

But now Yuan Shu was the first to slap the Han Dynasty on the face, and most of the last fig leaf of the Han Dynasty was torn off...

Gan Ning, the governor of Danyang, and Zhang Liao, the governor of Wujun, were also reporting on their duties in Jinling at this time. Only Sun Ce, who was in Poyang, was still on guard against Jingzhou and did not rush back.

After Gan Ning heard the news, he also came to the state pastoral mansion cursing. It seemed that he was very upset that Yuan Shu had ruined his vacation—even if it was a few days later, Gan Ning would have already let him out by then.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun met this colleague on the way and originally wanted to say hello. However, after hearing him mumbling something sweet, Zhang Liao frowned. It was obvious that he and Gan Ning did not get along well...

Not only the generals in Jinling, but when this news came, no one in Jinling could think of Mu Xiu. Immediately, the subordinate officers and staff of the six ministries gathered in the middle hall of the Prefecture Mufu.

"The news has been sent to everyone's official seal. If you have any ideas, please feel free to comment..." Halfway through Bai Tu's words, he found Hua Xin staring at him.

Especially when Bai Tu wanted to let the people below speak directly, Hua Xin's eyes were completely "glaring".

Bai Tu had no choice but to say a few more words: "Yuan Shu is a thief and a maniac. He invades the provinces and counties, harms the good and harms good people. He comes from a famous family but has no regard for justice. He is simply... he is worse than a pig or a dog. I, Bai Tu, are incompatible with him!"

After Bai Tu finished speaking, he glanced at the low mahogany table in front of him with some distress - I just moved, and these are all new!
But encouraged by Hua Xin's gaze, Bai Tu drew his sword and chopped it open...

Hua Xin, including Lu Kang, Wang Lang and others, also looked at Bai Tu with more satisfaction.

They don't need to think too much about whether Bai Tu is really loyal to the Han Dynasty, but they hope that their lord can show loyalty when he should be in the position of "loyal to the Han Dynasty"... even if it is acted. !

Otherwise, if the name is incorrect, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not smooth, things will not be accomplished.

Lu Bu, who was ranked first on the left, curled his lips secretly when he saw this, thinking: These hypocritical guys, I hope they don't teach the hard disk to damage.

Most of the remaining generals didn't pay much attention to this child's play. Only Gan Ning smiled half-smilingly and winked at Bai Tu. He didn't know whether it was to ridicule him or to say that he himself had been in the same boat.

"Yuan Shu is arrogant and defies nature. Not only did he steal the land north of Yangzhou and Jiangbei, but now he also offends the power of heaven. My lord should act on behalf of heaven and send troops to attack him. With just a piece of paper, the knowledgeable people in the world will respond." Lu Kang said that he had endured Yuan Shu for a long time.

"Mr. Lu is right. Yuan Shu's power has made him faint. This is a gift from God... Ahem, in short, now that my lord has sent his army to Huainan, he will definitely be invincible."

Yu Fan felt that saying that it was a "God-given opportunity" for people to stand on their own behalf on behalf of the Han Dynasty was a bit too blunt, so he changed his tune midway.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs has accumulated a large amount of food and grass now. Even if the lord sends [-] troops, he will have no worries." Zhu Zhi said with some resentment.

Zhu Zhi was also from a Jiangdong family, and Bai Tu allowed him to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs, in charge of material preservation.

According to the current division of powers among the six ministries, the custody of various materials should be the responsibility of the Household Department. However, when other ministries have assignments, materials from the User Department can be requisitioned.

And now most of the "disaster relief food" is being collected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs...

Everyone was talking about it, and the staff had the same opinion - fight!

Upon hearing this, the generals in the hall also asked for orders one after another. Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Jiang Qin...

The civil servants had already said that they would fight, so as a general, he would naturally not give in. Even like Gan Ning, he knew in his heart that Bai Tu would not act rashly, and he also showed that he wanted to fight at this time.

Leaving aside others, Bai Tu had already met Gan Ning when he returned to Jinling and mentioned to him that he would be transferred to Kuaiji this year.

At the same time, Gan Ning was also given the ship design drawings... and Shu brocade craftsmanship.

Therefore, Gan Ning knew best that the strategic focus after Bai Tu was definitely not to fight Yuan Shu in Huainan!

It's just that now everyone's atmosphere has reached this point, and Gan Ning has also followed suit, not showing how familiar he is with his lord or having inside information.

Gan Ning is undoubtedly a very emotional person among the children of the aristocratic family, and he is extremely poor at managing emotions, but some instinctive avoidance is a habit.

But at this moment, Lu Su, who had been silent before, gave a different choice.

"Now that my lord is full of virtue and virtue, Yuan Shu is just a withered bone in the grave. Why should he use his swords lightly to deal with Huainan? Soldiers are also deadly weapons! As long as the lord accumulates virtue and raises his hopes, the people and soldiers will naturally tend to gravitate towards the lord and turn their backs on him. Yuan Shu, isn't it better than using force to make him surrender?" Lu Su stood up and said.

Everyone fell silent when they saw Lu Su speaking - they all knew that this was Bai Tu's eldest cousin, who was also entrusted with the important task of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the real confidant of the Prefecture Mufu.

Moreover, since Lu Su took charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his behavior was indeed convincing. The Jiangdong nobles also knew that this "dragon crossing the river" from Xuzhou was not just a nepotist.

However, what Lu Su said was shocking!
Is this your line?
When did you, Lu Su, become a rotten scholar who couldn't see the situation clearly?Is this a world where "use morality to make enemies surrender"?
Hua Xin looked at Lu Su and then at Bai Tu, vaguely aware of something, so he also stood up and said, "Xin admires Lu Sibu's great kindness."

After Lu Kang was surprised for a while, he suddenly remembered that Lu Su was suspected of possessing the Heavenly Book. Lu Kang had always been skeptical about the legend of the "Heavenly Book", but he was very relieved about Lu Su's talent.

So he started to follow the rhythm and said: "What I mean is that the lord must be prepared to do justice for heaven and wait for the court's call. Before that, there is no need to act rashly..."

Lu Su represents the staff who assist Bai Tu wholeheartedly, Lu Kang represents the Jiangdong nobles who support Bai Tu, and Hua Xin represents the noble nobles of the Qing Dynasty. After these three people reached a unified opinion, although some people still did not understand it, they also Everyone agreed.

Bai Tu was also a little curious, why did Lu Su suddenly change his attitude?

Sure enough, Lu Su stayed after the meeting, as if he had something to say to Bai Tu alone...
