The emperor died, Dong Zhuo died, and the news of the defeat of the Xiliang army spread to the world one after another, causing the world to be shaken, and more people were restless about the ninth-five position. For a time, all the princes were recruiting troops, so as to
Wait for the opportunity.
Since Luoyang belonged to Liu Bei, Liu Bei has regarded himself as the successor of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan. He invited the wise men of Luoyang to come to help, and won over a group of Han ministers who resigned from their posts to serve him. In terms of military affairs, he successively attacked the vicinity of Luoyang.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion Army recruited its tribesmen, and recruited and surrendered Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and other generals through the Yellow Turban Army. After the Battle of Jizhou, Yuan Shao's forces were eliminated from Jizhou by Liu Lin, and they all defected to them one after another.
Liu Bei's good performance suddenly boosted Liu Bei's strength, especially the arrival of Jushou, Fengji and Shenpei, which suddenly boosted Liu Bei's strength and made him the leader of the Central Plains princes.
Although Liu Bei occupied Luoyang and coveted the imperial city of Luoyang, he did not stay overnight in the palace like Dong Zhuo. Instead, he sent troops to protect the imperial city and handed over the palace to the original servants, while he
Then he lived in the general's mansion, which was also He Jin's original mansion.
In the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, Liu Bei was sitting on his knees, with Ju Shou and Feng Ji sitting on his right, and Shen Pei and Jian Yong who had been following him on his left. Liu Bei looked at the counselors, his face
A proud smile flashed across his face. "I asked you to come here today because of the Chang'an incident. I believe you all know it already! I intend to attack Li Jue and Guo Si in Tongguan. I wonder if you have any objections?"
Jushou glanced at Jian Yong and saw that he was silent, so he bowed and said, "My lord, I think this is not the right time yet!" "Oh? Sir, let's talk about it?" Liu Bei asked, and Jushou said: "
Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Jue and Guo Si are the strongest among the Xiliang army, with 50,000 troops. However, their situation is extremely embarrassing. There is our army in front of them and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Chang'an behind them. If our army attacks Li
Jue Guo Si, they will definitely surrender to Ma Teng and Han Sui in Chang'an. At that time, our army will definitely face the Ma and Han coalition forces directly. At that time, our army will be under great pressure and the gains will outweigh the losses. On the contrary, our army will be in Li
When Jue and Guo Si are in trouble, if they form an alliance with him to jointly resist the Maha-Korean coalition forces in Chang'an, they can rely on Li Jue and Guo Si to independently block the eastward invasion of the Maha-Korean coalition forces, and also take the opportunity to weaken the two families.
We can also take this opportunity to strengthen our strength!" After saying this, Jushou glanced at Liu Bei, and seeing that Liu Bei was deep in thought and silent, he added: "After the death of the emperor, the emperor's pattern will definitely change. Liu Lin in the north, Liu Lin in the east
Cao Cao, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu of Huainan, Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Ma Han of Chang'an will all take action, while the lord is dormant in Luoyang, waiting for opportunities to develop. After all, the lord's strength has expanded in the past few months.
It’s too fast, and it’s not conducive to the lord’s future ambitions and hegemony! I hope the lord will think twice!”
When Liu Bei heard this, he stood up suddenly. In full view of everyone, he walked up to Jushou and bowed respectfully. Jushou was so frightened that he stood up in a hurry, not daring to accept the offer. He quickly stepped forward to support Liu Bei and said:
"My lord, it's time to kill Jushou!" Liu Bei grabbed Jushou's hand and said, "My father-in-law and you are like the emperor's father-in-law Zhang Liang! From now on, you will be my military advisor, and you will take care of the affairs of the army for me.
thing!"
When Jushou heard this, he was very moved and quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you so much for your trust, my lord!" Liu Bei smiled and helped Jushou up, and said to Shenpei: "Zhengnan, you are Zuo's military advisor, assisting Duke Yu!"
Hearing this, he was overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed: "No!" Liu Bei had arranged for Ju Shou and Shen Pei. Seeing that Feng Ji and Jian Yong were silent, he smiled and said, "Yuan Tu and Xianhe will help me handle it."
Something about Luoyang!" The two of them quickly bowed to accept the order.
After making arrangements for political and military affairs, Liu Bei said to everyone: "Now Guan Yu is guarding Bingzhou, Zhao Yun is guarding Jizhou, and Liu Lin alone occupies the land of the three states. He is extremely powerful. If he comes to attack me, what should I do?" Feng Ji said:
"Actually, Liu Lin is not worried now. Bingzhou and Jizhou have just surrendered, and the people are unsettled. The army has just gone through a big battle and is resting. It has no energy to go south. Besides, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's troops in the north have already gathered thirty
Ten thousand tribesmen are always threatening Youzhou and Bingzhou. This is Liu Lin's weakness. If the Huns on the grassland are not dealt with, Liu Lin will be stronger. As long as something happens to the north, Liu Lin will definitely fall short. And we are the biggest
The threat is the identity of the lord!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liu Bei's face. He sighed and said, "Although I am the queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, my family has long been in decline. There is no record in the Han Dynasty genealogy. The late emperor was instigated by Dong Thief and Liu Lin."
, it is clear that I am a fake, but it is really too much to deceive others! Now I have Luoyang for nothing, and my name is not legitimate, so what can I do?"
When Liu Bei said this, his eyes turned red, which made Ju Shou and others feel sad. Shen Pei sighed and said: "My lord, there is no need to rush this matter. Gaozu was not a commoner back then. In my opinion, there are many people who want to be emperor now."
Yes, but we can't stand out, lest we arouse the wrath of the princes. For now, we can only develop agriculture and commerce, increase taxes, practice military training diligently, and wait for the opportunity! As for the Lord's question just now about how to resist Liu Lin, my subordinates think that Yuan
What the picture says is absolutely true, but we cannot be careless. Alliance with Cao Cao in the east to reject Liu Lin, and alliance with Li Jue and Guo Si in the west to block Ma Han. That is the way for us to survive!" Liu Bei nodded after hearing this.
Just when Liu Bei and others were discussing how to develop, Cao Cao, who was besieging Pengcheng in Xuzhou, was forced to retreat to Peixian County to wait for an opportunity because Sun Ce led his army to burn Cao's army's food and grass. Tao Qian was also spared.
.And Yuan Shu in Huainan began to recruit troops and hoard food and grass on a large scale, and the whole world war was about to break out.
In Jizhou Yanhou Mansion, Liu Lin has been living a very comfortable life since he came back from Jizhou. Government affairs have been on track. Each yamen is doing different things according to their respective divisions of labor, such as taxation, money and grain, land, household registration, etc.
Business, trade, official selection, assessment, promotion, and other matters are all handled by the Youzhou Prefectural Mufu. Except for some important matters, which are left to Liu Lin, Liu Lin does not care about anything, and military matters are left to him.
Guo Jia and Zhang Fei were left in charge. Anyway, there was no war now. After all, he had not spent much time with his family in the past five months. Liu Lin wanted to make it up to his family, so he would amuse himself in Cai Yan's room when he had nothing to do.
My son Liu Yan is already five months old. He can already look around and sometimes make babbling noises. This makes the Yanhou Mansion full of life, and Mi Zhen's belly is also full of life.
It has been swollen for six months, but Diao Chan has not moved. This makes Diao Chan very unhappy, and Liu Lin is also ashamed, so as long as Diao Chan is serving at night, Liu Lin will work hard, panting shyly.
The sound always fills Diao Chan's small courtyard all night long.
