The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 579
The next day, when Liu Bei and others were preparing to watch Zhang Fei's heavy cavalry perform martial arts, an urgent report was sent to Liu Bei.

"Hurry up and return to the army to prepare for war."

After reading the emergency report, Liu Bei ordered with a cold face that all the generals who came to watch the martial arts with him rushed back to the army. This time, there were many generals who were recalled by Liu Bei, almost including guarding Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. , Heilongzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou and several important generals of the navy.

As for the generals from Liangzhou, Hanzhong, Yizhou, and Dizhou who were farther away, they did not come, because they were too far away, and it took too long to go back and forth, which was prone to problems.

For example, when something happened suddenly, everyone didn't know what was going on, but looking at Liu Bei's face, it was obvious that someone was going to make trouble, and the only ones who could make Liu Bei pay so much attention were Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

"Brother, what happened?" The lieutenant general left, only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Ziming, Gan Ning and others were still by Liu Bei's side. Guan Yu asked Liu Bei with a cold face.

Liu Bei glanced at several people, frowned and said: "The secret guard urgently reported that Cao Cao and Sun Quan announced to the world that they had obtained the imperial edict of the Shu Han emperor, and made them kings. Cao Cao will be the king of Wei, and Sun Quan will be the king of Wu."

"what!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, no one with the surname of Liu can be crowned king, otherwise the whole world will punish him. Even if Liu Zhang and Liu Bei become emperors, they will all use the name of the Han clan and the Han clan.

"Brother, let me take the heavy cavalry to chop off the heads of two little men and dogs!" Zhang Fei was furious immediately. Cao Cao and Sun Quan were not surnamed Liu of the Han family, and they dared to be kings. Isn't this slapping his elder brother Liu Bei in the face.

"I'm going to kill Liu Zhang..." A murderous intent flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and Liu Zhang's keeping would be a disaster. If Liu Bei hadn't insisted on not killing Liu Zhang, Guan Yu would have killed Liu Zhang's entire family long ago.

"Your Majesty." Gan Ning said loudly, "The [-] soldiers of the navy are willing to protect the majesty of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Bei nodded slightly to the three of them after hearing this, but instead of ordering troops to be dispatched, he looked at Chen Ziming.

"Brother." Chen Ziming frowned and said, "Cao Cao and Sun Quan are kings at this time, I'm afraid the two of them have already plotted. At this time, our soldiers and horses from all walks of life are not ready enough, so it is not an opportunity to start a war."

Cao Cao and Sun Quan have capable people around them, and they must have seen that Liu Bei still needs time to prepare for the unification battle. This is the time when Liu Bei least wants to start a war, and the two took the opportunity to become king. Let Liu Bei desperately fight with them.

"Quickly return to Linzi!"

Liu Bei was furious and asked Zhang Fei to lead the heavy cavalry army to Jizhou. Because the Thunderbolt Army had not yet formed an army, and as Chen Ziming said, it was not the time to start a war, so Liu Bei did not mobilize the Thunderbolt Army.

Liu Bei and others took a boat from the sea directly to Linqu Military Port in Qingzhou, and then returned to Linzi quickly, and immediately summoned the ministers of the court and China to discuss matters.

"Cao Cao and Sun Quan have no king and no father, they should be punished!"

At this time, the news that Cao Cao and Sun Quan became kings spread all over the world, and the city of Linzi was also shaken.

"Cao Cao and Sun Quan are ex-officials of the Shu Han, and they took out Liu Zhang's imperial edict..."

Everyone was speechless after hearing this. After Liu Xie, the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, was killed, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang claimed to be emperors in the name of Han family clan relatives. Cao Cao and Sun Quan both supported Liu Zhang. One was named prime minister by Liu Zhang, and the other was Liu Zhang was made a general.

But Liu Zhang thought that becoming Liu Bei's prisoner would be unfavorable for Cao Cao and Sun Quan's protection of the master, and he would lose the right to fight with Liu Bei, a fake emperor, so everything was controlled.

Liu Bei occupies an absolute position both politically and militarily. If there is a war against Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei will take the absolute initiative.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Cao Cao and Sun Quan came to such a hand and directly became the king. Although they were not as good as the emperor Liu Bei, they could also stand against each other in terms of status. The main thing was that they used the banner of Liu Zhang to make people Speechless.

"Your Majesty, King An Le knelt outside the palace to plead guilty."

When everyone heard this, they frowned slightly. Of course they knew that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang had been imprisoned by Liu Bei long ago. How could he return the crown to Cao Cao and Sun Quan? However, Liu Zhang was the former Shu Han emperor and he was still alive. Give Cao Cao and Sun Quan a chance.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhang should be punished!"

Some people wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Zhang. In this way, Cao Cao and Sun Quan would at most use the banner of avenging Liu Zhang, but they could no longer use Liu Zhang's edict to talk about things.

"The minister seconded the proposal..."

The ministers immediately supported the killing of Liu Zhang.

"Your Majesty." At this time, several people rushed out and knelt down, pleading with Liu Bei: "The ministers guarantee with their heads, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with King Anle, it is Cao Cao and Sun Quan, two rebellious officials and thieves who pretended to be King Anle."

Those who stand up are the former officials of Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Huang Quan, Li Hui, Liu Ba and other important officials in the court, and they are all celebrities in the world.

"Come here, escort King Anle back, and enjoy a hundred altars of fine wine..." Liu Bei glanced at the kneeling minister of Yizhou, then at Chen Ziming, who shook his head slightly, and immediately made a decision.

Liu Bei simply ignored the people who said to kill Liu Zhang, why wait until now to kill Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is a Han family clan relative, Liu Bei's brother is much more authentic than Liu Bei, killing Liu Zhang will have an impact on Liu Bei's reputation It is also very big, besides killing Liu Zhang now, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will use this as an excuse to tarnish Liu Bei's reputation.

"Your Majesty." Minister Chen Deng stood up and said, "Cao Cao and Sun Quan's proclaiming king violates the ancestral system, and the heavenly army should be ordered to attack."

"Otherwise." Sun Qian came out and objected: "My big man has just finished the battle, and the soldiers are exhausted. It is time to recuperate, and we can start the war again."

"Cao and Sun claim to be king without authorization, so they must be attacked!"

Regarding Cao Cao and Sun Quan becoming kings, there were many people who supported Liu Bei to send troops to crusade. Even Li Hui, Huang Quan and other Yizhou ministers firmly supported Liu Bei to send troops to crusade them in order to show that they could keep Liu Zhang.

"Your Majesty, attack!" Even Chen Gong stood up to support Liu Bei's dispatch of troops, which made Liu Bei very embarrassed. On the way back, Chen Ziming had already analyzed Liu Bei. The current situation of the big man is difficult to support a full-scale war. The minister's opinion cannot be ignored.

At the beginning, some people opposed the crusade against Cao and Sun, but later the voice of crusade overshadowed everything, and several people who opposed sending troops had to bow their heads and remain silent.

"I have a plan to share your majesty's worries." Suddenly, a person stood up, immediately silenced everyone, and looked at the person who spoke.

Chen Ziming also raised his head to look at the person who spoke, he was slightly taken aback, and then the corner of his mouth twitched, if this person hadn't stood up by himself, Chen Ziming would have forgotten that there was such a pervert in Liu Bei's hands, this person was a little too low-key.

Liu Bei was also overjoyed when he saw the person who spoke, and hurriedly asked, "What's the best strategy? Wenhe come quickly."
