The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284
Chapter 290 The Sixth Chapter Shu Han Establishes the Country and Liu Zhang Proclaims Emperor

In the second year, at the beginning of [-] A.D., everything was prepared. All the food and grass for the million-strong army were in place, and even a large part of the education construction and road construction funds were deducted, and the required military expenses were prepared in advance. Sure, just wait for the spring, when the weather gets warmer, it will start to dry.

In order to be able to solve Cao Cao at once, even all the fierce generals were returned, such as Huang Zhong who led the troops in Bingzhou to defend against the Huns, such as Li Yan who led the troops in Jizhou. Anyway, the high-level generals were concentrated in Linzi, and they followed Liu Bei to go out at any time.

As for the Bingzhou army and the Jizhou army, send a few second- and third-rate generals to command for a period of time, wait for Cao Cao and Sun Ce to be wiped out, and then concentrate all the troops to solve the northern problem. In this way, everything will be perfect.

But at the beginning of the new year, when everyone hadn't taken any action, a sudden news disrupted everything, causing Chen Ziming to scold his mother.

That is, Yizhou Mu Liuzhang proclaimed himself emperor, established the Shuhan Kingdom, the capital of the country was set in Chengdu, and it was announced to the world that the princes of the world should go to Yizhou to worship.

Many ministers of the DPRK and China who were originally in Luoyang were also recruited by Liu Zhang to take up positions in Chengdu, and established a complete regime in the shortest time.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao and Sun Ce responded to Liu Zhang immediately. Although they did not go to worship in person, they also sent heavyweights to Chengdu to pay homage to Liu Zhang.

Cao Cao sent his eldest son Cao Ang, Sun Ce sent his younger brother Sun Quan, and even Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent his son Liu Qi to Chengdu to represent Liu Biao as the emperor.

Even Ma Chao from Liangzhou received a letter from Ma Teng in Luoyang and went to Chengdu to pay homage to Liu Zhang in person. In the whole world, only Liu Bei was excluded, and Liu Bei received Liu Zhang's invitation to proclaim himself emperor after the other princes worshiped him on the road. information.

Chen Ziming's first reaction was that there was something wrong with the dark guard, but soon he received an urgent report from the dark guard that Cao Cao and Sun Ce sent troops to block the roads everywhere, and the most important thing was that the road leading to Yizhou was also completely blocked , it is impossible for the dark guards to pass messages through these checkpoints.

Now the meeting hall in Linzi can be clouded and no one speaks. At this time, there is a huge conspiracy against Liu Bei, and the princes of the world are united against Liu Bei.

If it was Cao Cao or a puppet that Cao Cao randomly found to proclaim himself emperor, it would be easy to handle. The big deal is that Liu Bei said that his name was not right and his words were not smooth, but it was Liu Zhang, a powerful prince who proclaimed himself emperor, and Liu Zhang's identity was unknown compared to Liu Bei. There are many authentic Han family clansmen.

Today, Liu Zhang is definitely the first person in the world who is qualified to represent the Han Dynasty, followed by Liu Biao, and finally Liu Bei. It can be said that Liu Zhang's proclaiming himself emperor is the most legitimate.

Now that Liu Zhang proclaimed himself emperor and established the Shu Han, the princes of the world responded one after another. Only Liu Bei was excluded. Now it is impossible for Liu Bei to send people to pay homage to Liu Zhang.

Everyone can imagine that in a short time, everyone in the world will know that Liu Bei refused to accept Liu Zhang's claim to be emperor and wanted to establish himself as emperor.

Liu Bei is not afraid of fighting. He is now the most powerful in the world, but he is afraid that the hearts of the people will be scattered and the morale of the army will be unstable. This world still pays attention to a righteous name, otherwise there will be no strength to do things.

"Do you guys have a solution?" Liu Bei sat at the head with a sad face.

"Ziming?" Seeing that everyone had no intention of speaking, Liu Bei turned his attention to Chen Ziming. If Chen Ziming had no choice, it would be difficult.

"Cao Cao's plan is very poisonous." At this point, Chen Ziming had no choice but to stand up and say a few words, and it is not an option to keep silent like this: "If Liu Zhang establishes himself as emperor and does not get the approval of the princes of the world, then he is a false emperor. But don’t take it to heart.”

"But now that Liu Zhang is proclaiming himself emperor, the princes all over the world have sent people to worship him. The entire Han Dynasty, except us, all other princes agree with Liu Zhang's throne, and the princes from all walks of life help him promote it. In this way, Liu Zhang's position is justified."

"Cao Cao and others sent troops to block the news, so that we would not be informed of this matter, and at the same time, we would not be allowed to send people to Chengdu to pay homage to Liu Zhang. In this way, Liu Zhang became the orthodox of the Han Dynasty and isolated us."

"After the feudal lords of the world have finished their pilgrimage, Liu Zhang will definitely entrust all parties in the name of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time announce to the world that we are rebels."

"Once this happens, we will definitely become chaotic officials and thieves, and the people we rule will be shaken, and the morale of the army will be unstable, and then Liu Zhang will attack us in the name of the emperor."

Chen Ziming was also very helpless, Cao Cao and Sun Ce suddenly came to this move, which reversed the current good situation. Cao Cao and Sun Ce became loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, while Liu Bei became a traitor.

The advisers and generals of Liu Bei's group don't matter, no matter who is the emperor, they will follow Liu Bei.But the common people and ordinary soldiers don't think so.

In their hearts, the emperor is the orthodox, and the emperor is the master of this big man. If the emperor says that Liu Bei is a traitor, then they are all rebels.

Even if Chen Ziming has always been committed to eliminating the emperor's influence in the hearts of ordinary people, he has spared no effort to win people's hearts for Liu Bei. Liu Bei's current prestige and popularity are indeed very high, but compared with the orthodox Han emperor, it is much worse.

There are people who follow Liu Bei wholeheartedly, and there are quite a few. Those who have received Liu Bei's favor and care may also agree with Liu Bei, but it is one thing to agree, and another thing to follow the rebellious officials and thieves.

"The most important thing is." As soon as Chen Ziming finished speaking, Guo Jia interjected: "The Yellow River broke its embankment just under my lord's rule last year. This is a natural disaster, and it will be used by Cao Cao and others. Once this happens, the hearts of the people in the world may turn to Shu Han .”

Guo Jia's words stunned everyone, and their faces became even uglier. The Yellow River's burst embankment, in the hearts of the people, is the punishment of God, and it is God's will. Once Cao Cao and others vigorously publicize this matter, then Liu Bei's reputation for many years will be destroyed.

"My lord, I have a plan to break this predicament." Just when everyone had nothing to do, Jia Yu, who had just joined Liu Bei and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, spoke up, making everyone stunned, and then looked at Jia Yu expectantly.

"Wenhe, what's your plan, tell me quickly!" Liu Bei hurriedly asked Ji Jiayu.

"My lord is the emperor's uncle who was proclaimed by the late emperor after King Jing of Zhongshan. He is a family member of the Han family. It is well known in the world." Jia Yu said this and stopped. He didn't say anything later, but that was enough.

After hearing Jia Yu's words, everyone in the hall had a common thought in their hearts, and they all looked at Liu Bei in a daze.

"This..." Liu Bei also reacted, of course he could hear Jia Yu's meaning, now the only way to bring this game back.
