Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367 "Live Broadcast" of the Great Court Meeting
The sixth year of Jian'an will be the last year of "Jian'an".

Basically, the princes with some connections in the court have already heard the news and are waiting for Liu Xie to announce the new reign name at the court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month!

"Jian'an" is the new reign title established by Cao Cao after he welcomed Liu Xie back to Xu County in the east. Now it has come to an end with Liu Xie's return to Chang'an in the west.

In the original history, "Jian'an" was also the last era name of the Han Dynasty. It was used until the 25th year of Jian'an, when Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

Now Liu Xie has returned to Chang'an, the former capital of the Han Dynasty, and is preparing to set up a new era name, symbolizing a new beginning - Xingshun.

Not only do we want to revive the Han Dynasty, but we also want it to be smooth and smooth, which is a good wish.

On the first day of the first lunar month, apart from the Chang'an imperial court, Jingzhou Prefecture was the most lively.

Liu Xie had already informed them before that he would use the "Xian Envoy Zhiwen" to announce the canonization of Liu Cong...

Since it was necessary to "know the news" anyway, Liu Xie, after discussing with the ministers, decided to do it beautifully - mainly to announce the new reign title, and at the same time prepare to ennoble a group of princes!
Liu Cong will not only be officially named the Shepherd of Jingzhou, but will also be canonized as the Marquis of Cai...

Well, there was also the State of Cai in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was always between being "oppressed by the State of Chu" and "united with other countries to attack Chu", and was eventually destroyed by Chu. Is there any element in the title of "Marquis of Cai" that refers to Sang and Huai... ...Bai Tu doesn’t know either, and Bai Tu doesn’t bother to ask.

However, Xiangyang City was bustling with excitement at this time. Many aristocratic families gathered in Jingzhou Mansion. Because they had received the news in advance, they had even prepared the "Caihou Mansion" sign.

If I want to say I am a little unhappy, that is that after Kuai Yue failed to attack Wancheng in the north, he had withdrawn his troops more than a month ago. However, the Chinese army only returned to Xiangyang yesterday. As a result... due to some scheduling problems, the city has not been opened until now. The door welcomes the army to enter!
Of course, the so-called "scheduling" problem is actually the manifestation of some conflicts between the Nanjun gentry and the Nanyang and Jiangxia gentry, as well as the confidants Liu Biao left behind.

But even so, most of the troops in Wengcheng were still dominated by the generals of Cai and Kuai, so the Nanjun nobles just kept this unhappiness in their hearts...

Today is a happy day for Jingzhou Prefecture, and everyone is happily waiting for the canonization!

They had already received news that the imperial court wanted Jiuxi to broadcast...

We can also guess some of the court's thoughts - let you be the King of Wei, let you be the King of Chu, let you be awarded Jiuxi... Now I will give them to you one by one to see if you are still beautiful!
Anyway, the current separatist forces in various places are basically warlords, or semi-warlords, and are actually independent of the imperial court. When two copies of Jiuxi have been sent out, sending more will only "depreciate" the value of Jiuxi.

Soon, in Jingzhou Mansion, while the civil and military officials were celebrating, the live broadcast... no, the "Xianshi Zhiwen" started!

Compared with Bai Tu, the "Xianshi Zhiwen" forcibly promoted by Jinling Ji, the scope of Dahan Ji's Xianshi Zhiwen is much larger. Any city in the Han Dynasty can see this in mid-air when looking up. One scene.

I saw Liu Xie at the great court meeting where all the ministers were standing together. He first officially announced that he would move the capital to Chang'an and change its name to "Xingshun". This year would be the first year of Xingshun. Then he began to commend Liu Bei and others who welcomed him back to the west...

Of course, Yuan Tan, who saw this scene in HD, wanted to curse - obviously our Yuan family was the first to do so!In the end, the rebellious minister and traitor was killed?
Liu Xie did not commend him for nothing, he rewarded these heroes one by one...

Ma Teng was granted the title of Yonghou, Han Sui was granted the title of Zhaihou, and Yang Feng was granted the title of Saihou. The titles were obtained at the turn of the Chu and Han Dynasties. Xiang Yu granted the title of the three surrendered generals of Qin during the Three Qin Dynasty. However, the titles granted by Liu Xie were all marquises and no. king.

Zhang Yan was granted the title of Marquis of Zheng - the current task of repairing the Zheng Guo Canal in Guanzhong is indeed the work of the people who moved from Montenegro, but... Zheng Guo Canal was a canal that a Korean named "Zheng Guo" was invited by the Qin State to build, and Zheng Guo Canal was built by the Qin State. It doesn't matter.

"Zheng" is the name of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a feudal state east of Hulao Pass, including the current Xu County. It mainly reveals that Liu Xie wanted to take back Xu County and ordered Xuzhou and Qingzhou to join forces with Sili and Liangzhou. into one mind.

Originally, Liu Ai and others suggested that Liu Bei be granted the title of King of Qi and Liu Zhang be granted the title of King of Shu. After all, even Cao Cao and Bai Tu were kings, so couldn't the Liu clan do the same?

However, Liu Bei refused to accept his resignation, so these two clansmen who occupied a state were only granted the title of Marquis of Qi and Marquis of Shu...

This made Liu Xie change his view of Liu Bei a lot.

If Liu Xie had made the decision himself, he would now want to declare Zhang Lu a traitor, because as long as Hanzhong is opened up, not only can Hanzhong be occupied, the land of Longxing in the former Han Dynasty, but Liu Zhang's Yizhou can also be connected with Guanzhong , then the imperial court's advantage would be three points more.

However, this idea was unanimously opposed by Liu Ai, Liu Bei and others - now they are unable to attack Hanzhong at all. In a short period of time, their top priority is to clean up Guanxi, Sili, Hedong and open up the Xu County area...

After Ma Teng heard about it, he enthusiastically asked for a fight.

However... It is obviously unrealistic to expect the Xiliang Army, which is strong in cavalry, to attack Hanzhong.

Between Hanzhong and Yizhou, there are "towering sword pavilions and Cui Wei", while between Hanzhong and Guanxi, it is also like "where is the home of the Qinling Mountains where the clouds are, the snow embraces the blue gate and the horse cannot move forward".

The Qinling Mountains stretch thousands of miles from east to west and six hundred miles from north to south, with an average altitude of 2000 meters. Among them, there are only a handful of small roads that can be used to travel.

These include the "Baoxie Road" that Liu Bang built openly to appease Xiang Yu, the "Chencang Road" that was secretly built during the surprise attack on Guanzhong, as well as the "Qishan Road" favored by Zhuge Liang in the original history, and the "Qishan Road" suggested by Wei Yan for the surprise attack. Meridian Road", and the "Tangluo Road" that Zhonghui took when he conquered Shu.

As for the Tangluo Road, Zhong Hui built the plank road for a long time in order to conquer Shu. The horse's hoof also collapsed during the march. When Cao Shuang conquered Shu, he even got lost on it for a month...

Do you expect Ma Teng's Xiliang army to enter?

I'm afraid Zhang Lu didn't even know that the Xiliang army was attacking him after three months of sending troops!

In this case, the only one who could attack Hanzhong was Liu Zhang from Yizhou, and Liu Zhang still relied on the imperial edict to attack Hanzhong?
Regardless of whether Zhang Lu is declared a traitor or not, Liu Zhang is attacking Zhang Lu, and it is foreseeable that... probably no progress will be made.

In this case, why rush to make Zhang Lu hate the court?
Liu Xie has also gradually learned how to restrain his temper and consider things from the perspective of "interests", so he just ignores Zhang Lu.

After being awarded six sets of Nine Tins in one go, Liu Xie ignored Bai Tu and Cao Cao.

Although he will not completely break up with them, it is also intended to suppress their authority. The seventh one...Liu Xie also specially emphasized that he is the last one to be canonized today-Liu Cong, the Marquis of Cai!
In fact, even among the people of Xiangyang, many people only found out today that Liu Biao had died.

However, because of the support of the imperial court, although Liu Cong was a child, he was legitimate.

But what Liu Xie didn't know was that just half an hour before he announced the canonization of Liu Cong via live broadcast, hundreds of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the backyard at the Jingzhou Mansion banquet, and all the hundreds of civil and military personnel at the table were gathered together. control……

Fortunately, Jingzhou Prefecture has always valued civility over military affairs. Otherwise, if there were more generals present, hundreds of soldiers might not be able to control the situation!
