Chapter 657 Short-lived unification of the world

Changan.

Ever since Liu Bei planned to get rid of Yuan Shao first and then rule the world, powerful generals gathered in Chang'an one after another, and food and grass were transported from various places to Jinyang and Hanoi.

Naturally, the abnormal activities in the Sanfu realm cannot be concealed from those who are interested. Cao Cao also began to collect food and grass, Yuan Shu stepped up the pace of proclaiming emperor, and Liu Biao also sent envoys to various places.

Yuan Shao was the most direct, letting Tai Shici's army quickly approach Yi Jing, and at the same time strictly ordered the generals to attack Yi Jing, making Yi Jing crumbling.

Gongsun Zan wanted to send envoys out several times but was killed by Yuan Jun, but Gongsun Zan had no choice but to go out in person to escort the envoys out.

Little did he know that the envoy was killed by Ju Yi as soon as he left Yijing, and Ju Yi sent the envoy to Yuan Shao's tent. Tian Feng immediately came up with a plan to make people tamper with the envoy's information and lure the envoy to rebel with a lot of money.

Gongsun Zan's situation is not good, and everyone knows that the envoy surrendered to Yuan Shao under Tian Feng's three-inch tongue.

A few days later, the envoy returned with Tian Feng's false information, Gongsun Zan might as well have him, and rushed out of the city according to the agreed signal, but was ambushed by Yuan Jun and almost couldn't come back.

After Gongsun Zan returned to the city, he distrusted the generals even more, blindly ordered them to guard to the death, and ordered the female guards to supervise the gates of the city, which made the generals even more alienated from him. Close the house and leave.

Yuan Shao's tunnel team successfully entered the city, and Yuan Jun stormed into Yijing at night. Gongsun Zan mistakenly thought that Yijing was broken, so he killed his wife and daughter in the mansion, and set fire to himself among millions of millet.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's mansion on fire, Guan Jing rushed to see him but found the mansion in chaos. Guan Jing asked dozens of people to find out that Gongsun Zan set himself on fire, and Guan Jing also threw himself into the fire and died.

The rest of Gongsun Zan's tribe surrendered, and Yijing, the last city representing Gongsun Zan's power, changed hands.

Gongsun Zan didn't know that the Lucheng Army's reinforcements were only tens of miles away from Yi Jing, and as long as he persisted for another month, even ten days, the Lucheng Army's reinforcements would come continuously.

When Tai Shici saw the fire in Yijing, he immediately withdrew his army and returned to Zhuojun to guard it strictly, in case Yuan's army turned around and attacked Zhuojun. Owned by Yuan Shao.

When Liu Bei heard the news, he sat in the palace without saying a word for a long time, and Tian Yu, who was specially recruited by Liu Bei, stood in the lobby without saying a word, and Liu Bei came back to his senses.

Although Gongsun Zan is not as strong as he used to be in history, he is a good ally after all. It was Gongsun Zan who involved Yuan Shao in Youzhou that allowed Liu Bei to concentrate on pacifying Xiliang and Bashu. I really feel bad.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said to Tian Yu: "Guorang, this time you go to Youzhou and tell Xiaoliu and the others that Bo Sui is dead. It’s not just about recruiting and accepting traitors, if they can’t be used by Gu, Gu doesn’t mind going to attack them himself.”

"Here!"

Tian Yu said respectfully: "I will definitely convey the Lord's will to you."

In November of the third year of Xingping, heavy snow fell, and the entire Han Dynasty fell into a white world, and the entire Han Dynasty fell into a short period of peace, and the princes from all walks of life stopped their conquests.

But a major incident happened in Chang'an. Duan Yan, the former guard of Wuguan, abandoned Wuguan and fled. Zhang Xun from Nanyang arrived quickly, and the defenders of Wuguan resisted desperately, but Wuguan still fell into Zhang Xun's hands.

This incident shocked the world instantly, and envoys from various parties rushed back and forth, hoping to find out the wishes of both Liu Bei and Yuan Shu.

Among them, Yuan Shao broke the ice of unwillingness to join forces with Yuan Shu, and sent envoys to Shouchun to make many wishes, and then expressed his willingness to honor the Southern Emperor as emperor, and Yuan Shao's younger brother Cao Cao was also willing to pay tribute.

The Han Dynasty fell into a short-term unification, and Yuan Shu was immediately ecstatic. You must know that he did not want to become emperor in secret, but with great fanfare and almost pierced the last layer of window paper.

Yuan Shu believed even more in the prophecy: "The one who replaced the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao."

It seems that this world is suitable for me to sit in. It doesn’t matter that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao came to claim the title of emperor just as he was preparing to become emperor with great fanfare. The only regret is that Sun Ce proclaimed himself Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong, and the most annoying thing was to expel the envoy he sent to appease him.

Under the earnest dissuasion of counselor Yan Xiang, Yuan Shucai did not foolishly order Zhang Xun to attack Sanfu.

His chief Shi Yang Hong also dissuaded him, but he strongly reprimanded Yan Xiang's idea of ​​returning Wuguan to Liu Bei. He believed that Wuguan was obtained by Zhang Xun and others through hard work, so giving up like this would not make the world feel scared Liu Bei?
This sentence irritated Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is now holding the little emperor and is a great general, how could he be afraid of Liu Bei, who he thought was his younger brother before.

Yuan Shu's move completely broke the relationship between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, and the public opinion in Chang'an City was raging. All the generals expressed their desire to take back Wuguan, but Liu Bei suppressed them.

Once the war with Yuan Shu starts, then Liu Bei's battle to unify Hebei will be postponed, especially Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will never give up this opportunity to add insult to injury.

Once the plan to unify Hebei goes bankrupt, and Hebei recuperates for a year, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will become stronger. Maybe Cao Cao can find time to pacify Lu Bu in Xuzhou. If Liu Bei and Yuan Shao are in full swing, Cao Cao will take down Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and take all of the Central Plains In the land, it was too late for Liu Bei to cry.

Therefore, Liu Bei only stepped up defenses around Lantian to deal with Zhang Xun's invasion of Sansuke at any time.

Liu Bei's restraint made Yuan Shu overjoyed, and he became more determined to proclaim himself emperor, which made him even more arrogant, and even asked Liu Bei to send his proton to Shouchun.

Yuan Shu's move undoubtedly ignited the anger of the generals of the Lucheng Army. The generals could not suppress Liu Bei's repeated memorials, especially the memorials from Guan Yu in Yizhou and Zhang Fei in Hanoi, which showed the anger of the generals.

Guo Jia and other counselors repeatedly asked Liu Bei to restrain himself. The battle to conquer Hebei was imminent. Once the army was transferred to Nanyang, all supplies would have to be transported from Jinyang to Nanyang. Tossing will definitely cause Liu Bei to lose a lot of supplies, making him unable to conquer Hebei or the Central Plains.

At that time Lu Bu was in danger!Yuan Shu is in danger!
The alliance between the two Yuans confronted each other, and Liu Bei became alone against the whole world. Once a certain battlefield is lost, the whole line will surely collapse. Is it worthwhile to lose the advantage of unifying the world due to momentary anger?
Faced with the raging anger of the generals, Liu Bei had to escape from Chang'an in the name of inspecting snow disasters. However, there is a time limit for inspecting snow disasters in various places.

At the end of December, seeing that Liu Bei was about to return to Chang'an, the situation in Chang'an became worse and worse. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals returned to Chang'an in the name of debriefing to force Liu Bei to send troops to Nanyang.

Nanyang is a fertile land, and although Yuan's army has many troops, it is vulnerable to a single blow. Looking at Cao Cao's battle of Kuangting and Lu Bu's defeat of the Seventh Army is enough to show the weakness of Yuan Shu's army. The weaker Yuan Shu's army is, the easier it is for the generals to be famous in history.
