When Xu Wei led Da Qian on a new path, the Central Plains region also began to undergo drastic changes because of Xu Wei's capture of Jizhou!
The first change was that Liu Bei took the entire Chang'an court away from the ruined Guanzhong and came to Xiangyang City in Nanjun, Jingzhou, and established the new capital of the Han Dynasty with Xiangyang City!
There was no way. This time Lei Gong's offensive was too sharp. The 260,000 Jizhou army had been preparing for half a year, but they were still beaten to a pulp by the Tengjia army. They had no power to resist. The three princes and nine ministers of the imperial court looked at the defeated Guanzhong. I don’t think Guanzhong can still withstand the attack of the Tengjia Army!
And now the Tengjia Army is less than 100 miles away from them. At such a moment of life and death, the civil and military officials of the imperial court will naturally not come out to cause trouble.
Even Yuan Shao's proposal to move the imperial court back to Luoyang City was rejected. What is the difference between returning to Luoyang City and staying in Guanzhong? Even though most officials in the imperial court recognized Yuan Shao, they did not want to make fun of their own lives. , at this stage, Xiangyang City is safer than Luoyang City! So moving the capital to Xiangyang was unanimously approved by the imperial court. Everyone packed up their belongings and followed Liu Bei to Xiangyang City.
Moreover, after Yang Biao and others knew their shortcomings, they finally stopped making trouble, and instead decisively formed an alliance with Liu Bei. In the name of Liu Bei's meritorious service, he wrote a letter to confer Liu Bei as a general, making Liu Bei the first military general in the Han Dynasty. Take charge of the government of the Han Dynasty!
When Yuan Shao learned about this news, he was furious. He thought that the imperial court was too bullying. What was Liu Bei's background? He was just a descendant of a down-and-out clan, born as a minor official, and his grandfather was just a county magistrate!
And he, the Fourth and Third Duke of Yuan Shao, had disciples and former officials all over the world, but he was actually ridden over his head by a poor man. Even if he was appointed by the court as a chariot general, he refused to accept it, saying that he would not be rewarded for his merits, and King Qin was a minister. What should be done is obviously pointing out that Liu Beide is not worthy of the position!
He even wanted to write to the three ministers and nine ministers who participated in the imperial court, thinking that they were responsible for the Sili Rebellion and the loss of Jizhou!
But Yuan Shao's behavior was quickly stopped by Xu You and others.
"Benchu, now Jizhou has been annexed by Lei Gong. Whether we are Sili or Yanzhou, we are facing Lei Gong. With Lei Gong's strength, we simply cannot resist it. When the time comes, we will turn to Liu Bei for help. If you offend him like this now, in the future The Central Plains is attacked by Lei Gong, where can we find reinforcements? Don't forget that the 100,000 Jingzhou Army in Liu Bei's hands is no worse than ours! He is our biggest reinforcement!"
After such persuasion, and knowing that he still needed Liu Bei's support, Yuan Shao reluctantly accepted his identity as a cavalry general!
However, Yuan Shao now occupies the territory of the three states and has become the hope of the noble families in the world. In order to resist the Thunder God, the noble families of these three states are extremely supportive of Yuan Shao. It can be said that they ask for money and food, and even give him My own children enthusiastically joined Yuan Shao’s army!
Although Liu Bei took the imperial court with him, most of the hundreds of thousands of troops that the imperial court used to deal with the Xiliang Army were locals from Sili. It was basically impossible for them to follow Liu Bei to Jingzhou. There were 670,000 to 70,000 Sanhe elites who joined Yuan Shao's army. Among them, Yuan Shao's strength more than doubled!
He believed that even Liu Bei was not as strong as him. Among the princes in the entire Han Dynasty, he was the strongest, and with Lei Gong around, the powerful nobles of the Han Dynasty needed to deal with Lei Gong themselves. In addition, he became a general against Liu Bei.
Jealous, thinking that Liu Bei could become a general even though he was living in a poor household, so he, Yuan Shao, could become the king, right?
So Yuan Shao's ambition began to grow. Although he did not become king, he wanted to create some momentum!
Soon the prophecy that "the one who succeeds the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye" spread widely in Yuan Shao's territory!
The meaning of this prophecy is that the strength of the Han Dynasty has been exhausted, and a new dynasty related to "Dang Tu Gao" will replace it.
This sentence comes from the "Spring and Autumn Prophecies". It is probably Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others in the Western Han Dynasty who created some strange things. It may also be created by careerists who want to seize the Liu family's world. Because of this sentence
The period when it appeared was the last years of Emperor Wu.
At that time, the world of the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and it looked like it was going to perish. However, the people behind the scenes did not expect that Emperor Wu had always sinned against himself and ordered the world to stabilize again. Later, Huo Guang and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty extended the life of the Han Dynasty for another 100 years. Hence this prophecy
joke.
However, because this prophecy was famous, in troubled times, it was often used by later careerists as proof of rebellion. Later, whether it was Wang Mang Yili, Gongsun Shu who proclaimed himself emperor in Bashu, or Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing, they all repeatedly used prophecies to prove that they were rebels.
It is destiny, and the great scholars will help these emperors explain it. Anyway, this thing makes sense no matter how you say it, it just depends on whether you can make it up.
Of course, this prophecy disappeared after Liu Xiu, the son of true destiny, became the emperor.
Now this prophecy has finally spread again in Guanzhong, Central Plains and other places. Many celebrities have begun to explain this prophecy. One of the most recognized ones is that "Tu Gao" refers to a surname, and this surname is "Yuan".
Because the ancestors of the Yuan family can be traced back to Yuan Taotu, a senior official of the Chen State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Yuan Taotu's name happened to have "Tu Gao" in it.
To put it in a word that has not yet appeared in this world, Yuan Shao is Sima Zhao's heart and everyone knows it!
As soon as this explanation came out, it quickly spread throughout the Central Plains! Yuan Shao is the destined emperor of the world from now on!
Yuan Shao released the news to test the princes of the world! But the princes from all over the world seemed to have not heard it and remained completely silent, even Cao Cao, who had sent a small letter to him, did the same! He also did not recognize his small boy, Yuan Shao, and did not go out before the great enemy of Lei Gong.
At that time, he also targeted the imperial court.
Of course, Yuan Shao's temptation was not fruitless! When this news spread in the Central Plains to the ears of the officials of the Xiangyang court, this was the prelude to Yuan Shao's rebellion.
Liu Bei wrote to the court saying that during the reign of King Qin, Yuan Shu brazenly attacked Yangzhou and drove away the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the court. This behavior had no king or father, and it was called rebellion. He requested to lead an army to unite the princes from all directions to annihilate Yuan Shu.
Rebel gang!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And Liu Bei's letter was recognized by all the civil and military officials of the imperial court! The veterans of the imperial court are all foxes for thousands of years, so they naturally know what Yuan Shao is thinking.
But no matter how good their friendship with Yuan Shao is, they are still opposed to Yuan Shao's desire to establish a new dynasty. Now all the senior officials in the court are them. If Yuan Shao establishes a new dynasty, he will definitely use his small team.
How could they have their position in the imperial court? Isn't this just asking these imperial officials to give up their rights? I know this is impossible.
Therefore, even if the civil and military officials of the imperial court have a bad feeling about Liu Bei, they still support Liu Bei's ability to attack the Yuan clan at this time, and Yuan Shu is the chicken, and he will kill it for Yuan Shao to see!
Regardless of the current decline of the imperial court, it is still more than enough to deal with your Yuan family!
Of course, the imperial court also did this to weaken the Yuan family. Now the Yuan family has two powerful forces, one is Yuan Shao in Luoyang and the other is Yuan Shu in Yangzhou.
Yuan Shao occupied Sili, Yuzhou and most of Yanzhou. It can be said that he occupied the most fertile territory in the Central Plains. He also had an army of 200,000 in his hands, which was very powerful. As far as the current situation is concerned, if it were not for Yuan Shao
Most of the army in his hands are new soldiers, and Yuan Shao is even stronger than the small court that moved its capital to Xiangyang City!
And Yuan Shu also occupied two fertile counties in Yangzhou, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County. Under Yuan Shu's aggressive military force, he also had nearly 70,000 to 80,000 troops in his hands. It was also a relatively powerful force among the princes in the world. If the two Yuans joined forces with Teng
Army A may not be able to defeat it, but it is more than enough to deal with the newly established Xiangyang small court! He and the court are trying to prevent this from happening.
It happened that during the reign of King Qin, Yuan Shu attacked the territory of other officials without the permission of the court, so Yang Biao and others planned to strike first, wipe out Yuan Shu's forces, and warn Yuan Shao not to act recklessly!
Liu Bei led an army of 50,000 land and sea troops in Xiangyang and attacked Lujiang County from Jiangxia County. At the same time, the imperial edict was also issued to other princes, agreeing to encircle and suppress Yuan Shu together!
Qingzhou, Beihai County!
After receiving the imperial edict from the imperial court, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly: "The Tengjia Army is already unstoppable. Why is the imperial court still fighting among itself? Do we really want to give the world to Lei Gong!"
Xun Yu said helplessly: "We can no longer call it the Tengjia Army. Lei Gong has established the country, and now it will be called the Daqian Kingdom!"
Cao Cao said disdainfully: "It's just a monkey bath to win the crown!"
Even when Xu Wei became king, Cao Cao would not be like this, but Xu Wei wanted to be in power, and his name was not justified. I don’t know what Lei Gong was afraid of. If he had such a powerful force as Lei Gong, he would have proclaimed himself emperor long ago, let alone king.
, Lei Gong also brought out such unknown things as the Four People's Council. All this made Cao Cao feel that the new Da Qian Kingdom was like a grass-roots team!
Xun Yu said seriously: "Ming Gong has underestimated Lei Gong now. He wants to change the world just like Wang Mang! Unfortunately, this idea is too extreme. Wang Mang failed back then, and Lei Gong is even less likely to succeed!"
Xun Yu also understood Lei Gong's policy. Daqian's land equalization system was just a replica of the mine field. However, the mine field collapsed thousands of years ago and it is impossible to restore it now. Wang Mang spent his own life to explore this more than a hundred years ago.
This road leads to an obvious conclusion: the well field is dead!
Therefore, Xun Yu is not optimistic about the current Lei Gong, and the Xun family is also considered a powerful noble family of the Han Dynasty. He is naturally the enemy of Lei Gong. Even if Lei Gong may succeed, he must stop it, otherwise his family will be destroyed by Lei Gong. Got it!
Then he solemnly said: "I have a classmate friend named Guo Mingjia, also named Fengxiao, whose talent is ten times better than mine. Moreover, he has been staying in Hebei for the past two years and has a deep understanding of the internal affairs of Daqian Kingdom. Ming Gong wants to To deal with Thunder Lord, you still need to ask my friend for advice!"
Cao Cao was surprised that someone dared to spend two years to understand the internal situation of the Daqian Kingdom. You must know that in today's Han Dynasty, Lei Gong has been demonized, and the three states of Hebei have been exaggerated by the nobles and nobles into a ghost country like an underworld. Most people have no idea. Anyone who dares to go to Lei Gong's territory and dare to stay in Lei Gong's territory for two years must be a great talent, so he said: "Cao Zheng wants to know the internal situation of Da Qian Kingdom, please ask Wen Ruo to introduce this great talent!"
Xun Yu nodded, and not long after, he brought a wild and unruly scholar to Cao Cao!
Guo Jia casually saluted and said: "Guo Jia from Yingchuan has met Caozhou Mu!"
Cao Cao was indifferent to Guo Jia's powerlessness and said, "I heard from Wen Ruo that you have stayed in Lei Gong's territory for two years. I wonder what you have gained?"
Guo Jia randomly found a desk and sat down and said: "Of course the harvest is huge. Compared with the big man, Lei Gong's territory is a new world, with new changes every day. The textile factory is Lei Gong's source of wealth, and the steel factory is the source of Lei Gong's weapons. The source, and the desert barbarians became the sharpest blade of Thunder God. This was an unprecedented and terrifying enemy for the Han Dynasty. Even the original Huns did not have the strength of Thunder God. What is even more terrifying is that Thunder God's strength is growing every day, and he can When it comes to hard power, the possibility that Dahan can defeat Daqian is less than 30%! This is the combined strength of the entire Dahan. Judging from the current situation where Dahan is divided into pieces, I can’t see the possibility of defeating Lei Gong at all!”
Cao Cao was a little unhappy and said: "Fengxian, you are frightened by Lei Gong, you are so cowardly. Although my big man has been defeated by Lei Gong many times, we still have more than 500,000 troops. Such a powerful force can not say that we can defeat Lei Gong, but It is still possible to defend against Thunder Lord’s invasion of the Central Plains!”
When Guo Jia heard this, he laughed so much that he spit out his wine!
Guo Jia was so rude that Cao Cao was angry, but Guo Jia quickly said: "Cao Zhoumu, if I tell you a few figures, you can understand how powerful Lei Gong is. The annual fiscal revenue of the Daqian court is more than 30 billion yuan, which is more than During the reign of the late emperor, it was more than ten times more! The Mayi Iron and Steel Plant produced more than one billion kilograms of steel a year, dozens of times more than other places in the Han Dynasty. That's why Lei Gong had the luxury of having all his soldiers wear iron armor.
In order to restore the farmland in Jizhou, Lei Gong transported 200,000 horses and 300,000 cattle to Jizhou in half a year! All of these were leased to the people. With such strong support, all the fields in Jizhou would be gone in less than two years. Restoration! There are also hundreds of miles of canals built by Lei Gong in Mayi. Just comparing the number of canals, Mayi has more canals than the whole country of Han Dynasty. There are also rail carriages connecting the entire north, which are built in the city. The cement road, all of which can show the power of Lei Gong. Compared with the weekend, it can be called a dimensionality reduction strike."
Although Cao Cao doesn't understand what dimensionality reduction strikes mean, through data comparison, he can clearly understand that the gap between his own strength and Lei Gong is too big. Daqian is dozens of times stronger than him in Qingzhou. With his strength, he wants to
Resisting thunder can be said to be like a mantis trying to block a chariot.
Even Xun Yu couldn't believe it and said, "Is Thunder Lord really so powerful? Have you been deceived by Thunder Lord?"
Guo Jia said helplessly: "I wish Lei Gong had lied to me, but why did Lei Gong lie to me, a poor scholar? Just to put it bluntly, the Tengjia Army has about two to three hundred thousand standing troops, and the iron armor of the standing army alone weighs more than ten
Hundreds of billion kilograms. If weapons, crossbows, and various engineering equipment are added, the equipment of the Light Tengjia Army will consume three to four billion kilograms of iron. There are no iron smelting plants with an annual output of more than one billion kilograms. How can Lei Gong be so armed?
