Thousands of Dragon and Tiger Guards stood outside the hall and shouted loudly: "The Prime Minister worked hard and made great contributions! He should be named King of Jin!"

Liu Xie's face turned pale. He suddenly felt that the dragon chaise under his butt was getting hotter and he was about to lose his seat. He felt that the Liu family in the Han Dynasty was about to slip away from him. However, at this moment, the important officials of the three governments and five ministries of the court all urged Liu Xie to be the king of Yang Fan. Even the Minister of Rites, Kong Rong, who he valued, was silent at this moment.

In fact, Liu Xie was a little wronged about Kong Rong. It was not that he was unwilling to say it, but that he didn't know how to say it. Although Kong Rong was also a minister of the Shangshu, his actual power was the lowest among the six ministers.

However, for the sake of the majesty of the Han family, Kong Rong still spoke out and advised: "My colleagues, this king is a big deal. We cannot be careless. We still..."

However, before Kong Rong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xun You, Minister of War and said, "What, does Secretary Kong think that the Prime Minister is not worthy of being a king?"

As soon as these words were finished, the other people looked at Kong Rong with a hint of malicious intention. After all, the Tao was different and they did not plan for each other. In modern society, there were many factions and groups, let alone in ancient times with deep ideas.

Kong Rong's words have already expressed his position in disguise. In the future, he will no longer be valued.

Xun You's words scared Kong Rong so much that he saw Kong Rong quickly explained to Yang Fan: "Prime Minister, I don't have this intention, I don't have this intention!"

"Oh?" Ju Su, the Minister of Justice, sneered: "It seems that Shangshu Kong also agrees with the Prime Minister's appointment as the king?"

Kong Rong's face changed again and again. He looked at Liu Xie, then glanced at Yang Fan. Finally, he could only sigh helplessly and stopped talking after a few sighs.

"Thank you for your compliments!" Yang Fan looked at Liu Xie and said with a smile: "However, this is a big deal to be a king. Your Majesty naturally has to think twice. You say yes! Your Majesty!"

"What the Prime Minister said is extremely true!" Liu Xie looked ugly and said with a wry smile: "I wonder if the Prime Minister is willing to accept the prince?"

"There is nothing to do or not!" Yang Fan waved his hand casually and replied: "Your Majesty asks me to do whatever you want me to do, even if you don't become this prime minister! As long as your Majesty is happy!"

Although Liu Xie had a smile on his face, he cursed Yang Fan countless times in his heart. He had seen shameless people, but had never seen such shameless people. Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were blatantly asking for it, even if Liu Xie refused to give it to him, they would have to. However, Yang Fan's move to retreat as a step forward really made Liu Xie a little embarrassed. It seemed that everything obeyed his orders of Liu Xie, but in fact it was a threat to the court, which made him a little difficult to make him.

"I don't know, Your Majesty has considered it! Everyone is waiting!" Yang Fan asked with a slightly dark face.

Seeing Yang Fan's face changed, Liu Xie was really startled and quickly said loudly: "Since the Prime Minister is what everyone wants, I will grant the Prime Minister the King of Jin and his fief is Jinyang."

"Haha..." Yang Fan immediately smiled happily and bowed to Liu Xie: "Then I will thank Your Majesty!"

January 14th year of Jian'an.

Yang Fan was named King of Jin in Jinyang, and from then on he was divided into kingdoms and became a prince of foreign surnames.

Such a big event swept the world within a few months. When Cao Cao, who was waiting for the battle in Yuzhou, heard that Yang Fan had been awarded the title of king, he also attracted Liu Ye to discuss it. He simply did not do it and became king in Runan, known as the King of Runan.

Yang Fan and Cao Cao successively claimed kings, but Sun Quan was jealous. He also summoned his civil and military personnel to discuss. In April of the 14th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan also claimed to be kings in Wu County, claiming to be Kings of Wu.

On this day, Jiaozhou, Jiaozhi County, Longbian.

A man in armor was rushing into the governor's mansion with an anxious look, and shouting in panic, saying, "Father, it's not good, something is not good!"

In the lobby, an old man in his sixties was reading a book. He suddenly heard this scream, which made the old man feel a little displeased. He immediately threw the book on the desk and scolded: "You are too old, you are screaming all day long, how can you be so whispering? How can I give you the land of several counties in Jiaozhou to you in a hundred years?"

"Father! Don't be upset, the child has something to say!" After hearing this, the man was shocked, as if he was afraid of the old man. He replied: "Father, you don't know. Just in January this year, Prime Minister Yang Fan was named king by the emperor and is now the King of Jin! A few months later, Cao Cao, who occupied Yuzhou, also called himself King of Runan! Just last month, Sun Quan also called himself King of Wu. We quickly reported on the border that the troops of the three counties in Jingnan have been frequently mobilized recently, and it seems that they are in a large-scale attack on Jiaozhou!"

"What?" the old man was shocked when he heard this, frowned and said, "Be serious about this?"

The man smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you deceive your father, you are so sure! This matter is absolutely true. Please make a decision soon!"

"Oh!" The old man was silent for a long time and sighed: "Hui'er, hurry up and call your brothers and brothers, and discuss with you for your father's sake."

The old man called Shi Xie, whose courtesy name was Wei Yan, was born in Guangxin, Cangwu County, Jiaozhou. Shi Xie was the prefect of Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou. His younger brother Shi 1 was the prefect of Hepu County, Jiaozhou, and the second brother Shi ?, he was the prefect of Jiuzhen County, Jiaozhou, and Shi Wu, and the prefect of Nanhai County, Jiaozhou. There are seven counties in Jiaozhou. This family of four brothers occupied the four counties of Jiaozhou. It can be imagined that the Shi family was in Jiaozhou and had a vast power, and they were a wealthy family.

Soon, Shi Xie's five sons arrived at the lobby, namely the eldest son Shiwai, the second son Shizhi, and the third son Shihui, which is the man who reported to Shi Xie just now, the fourth son Shigan, and the fifth son Shisong.

Among the five sons, Shi Hui, Shi Gan, Shi Song and martial arts, Shi Tao, Shi Zi, and Shi Zi, so the eldest and second sons of the Shi family have a gentle personality, and they do not have the aggressiveness of Shi Hui.

After hearing the news that the Jiangdong army was approaching, Shifang and Shizhi were immediately unconscious and seemed a little panicked. On the other hand, Shihui, Shigan and Shisong were a little eager to try, and did not seem to take the Jiangdong army seriously.

"Report! Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu County, has defected to King Sun Quan of Wu a few days ago! Wu general Lu Dai has led his troops into Cangwu!"

At this time, the soldiers suddenly came to report.

"What?" Shi Xie was shocked when he heard this. After a moment of stunned silence, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Sun Quan's son is determined to be in Jiaozhou!"

"Father, I'm so afraid!" Shi Hui shook his arms and said disdainfully: "The terrain of Jiaozhou is dangerous and the road is difficult to move. The child only needs three thousand men to keep the Wu army away!"

"Oh!" Looking at Shi Hui, who can only fight and kill, Shi Xie shook his head and sighed, and asked Shi Xiao, "Huaner, now the Wu army is in a terror, how can we protect the Shi family?"

Shi Ting replied: "Father, there is no one in our Shi family who is dominant. Since the Wu army is approaching, why don't we follow the trend and surrender to the King of Wu! It's also a way to protect ourselves!"

"What? Brother, what are you talking about?" Shi Hui said angrily: "Now in Jiaozhou, our Shi family occupies half of the land, why should we be afraid of him, Sun Quan?"

Shi Xie cursed with a little regret: "Watch, kill, kill, you can only fight, kill! I, Jiaozhou, are vast and sparsely populated, how many people are there? How can I be the opponent of the Wu army? Even if I win one or two battles? Is it related to the overall situation? In the end, I still have to surrender. If you hate Sun Quan, you will not be valued. Why not surrender directly? You can also get the value of the King of Wu!"

Obviously, Shi Xie was more inclined to defect to Sun Quan. He called his five sons to just explain in advance.

In June of the 14th year of Jian'an, Wu general Lu Dai led 10,000 troops to escort Bu Zhi, the governor of Jiaozhou, to Jiaozhi County, Longbiancheng.

Shi Xie went out of the city to greet him. When Bu Zhi was in the evening, Bu Zhi also mentioned Sun Quan's intention to surrender. Shi Xie had the intention to surrender, so he decided to surrender to King Sun Quan of Wu on the spot.

However, Shi Xie's pleasure made Bu Zhi a little worried and proposed the idea of ​​letting Shi Zhen go to Wu County to work.

Although he knew that Shi Tang went to Wu County this time, he seemed to be working as a hostage. In order to consider the continuation of the family, Shi Xie simply agreed to Bu Zhi's request. During this period, he even proposed to ask his two sons and Shi Tang to go with him.

After learning about Shi Xie's attitude, Bu Zhi was overjoyed. Not only did he not dismiss the Shi brothers from his post in Jiaozhou, he also submitted a letter to Sun Quan and asked him to grant Shi Xie the Longbian Marquis to show the kindness of King Wu.

In June of the 14th year of Jian'an, since Shi Xie surrendered to Sun Quan, there was no Han territory in the world.
