Chapter 736: Yuan Gonggong Claims to be the Emperor of the Zhong Clan
Chapter 736: Yuan Gongli calls himself Emperor Zhong
At this time, in the newly built Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shu was sitting high on the throne. As soon as the civil and military officials came in, they discovered something was wrong. The design of the Yuan Mansion was exactly the same as the Han Emperor's palace in Chang'an and Luoyang City.
After everyone sat down with an uneasy feeling, they heard Yuan Shu say: "I heard that in the past, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty was only as long as a pavilion in Sishang, and he established a four-hundred-year-old foundation. Now the number has been exhausted, the Liu family is weak, and the whole country is in chaos. My family has four
Lords of the world, where the common people have returned, I wish to obey the destiny of Heaven and ascend to the throne of the 95th. All of you, the Lords and Lords, are loyal and filial. I don’t know why?”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Although Yan Xiang competed with Yuan Yin for power, he was also a loyal minister to Yuan Shu. Now that he heard that Yuan Shu was preparing to proclaim himself emperor, he knew that if he really proclaimed himself emperor, he was afraid that a disaster would come in an instant, so he immediately spoke
He objected: "No! In the past, when the Hou Ji of Zhou Dynasty came to King Wen, he accumulated virtues and merits. Two out of three parts of the world were used to serve the Yin Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, it was not as prosperous as the Zhou Dynasty; although the Han Dynasty was small, it was not as prosperous as the Yin Dynasty.
This is the violence of Zhou. This is absolutely impossible!"
Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this and said: "My surname of Yuan comes from Chen; Chen is the successor of Shun. The earth is used to carry fire, and it should be transported. My word is "Gao", and the prophecy goes: 'The one who succeeds the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye.'
There is a jade seal passed down to the state. If you do not serve as a king, you are violating the law of heaven. I have made up my mind, and if any of my subordinates say anything more, I will kill him!"
Yuan Shu had made up his mind, and it was not something that Yan Xiang could stop. After saying this, he immediately announced the establishment of the Zhong family, established officials such as Tai Province, rode dragon and phoenix chariots, and worshiped in the northern and southern suburbs. He called himself Emperor Zhong and established Feng Fang.
The daughter was the empress, with hundreds of beautiful people in the harem, clothes of gold and silk, embroidered utensils, gold and jade, and delicious food. She thought she had become an emperor, and made her eldest son Yuan Yao the prince of the East Palace. At the same time, he granted many ministers titles.
Yan Xiang heard this and did not dare to say anything. But when he looked closely, he saw Yuan Yin looking at him with a strange smile, and Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao looking proud. Yan Xiang knew that these two people encouraged Yuan Shu to become emperor, especially
It's Yuan Yao. After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he was appointed as the Prince of the East Palace. I can't help but Yuan Yao is moved!
Yan Xiang sighed and thought to himself: "You guys are so stupid that you killed my lord! Once my lord becomes emperor, all the wolves, tigers and leopards around will have excuses!"
At this time, Yuan Shu had finished sealing the ministers. Some of the people were excited, some were confused, and some were worried. However, no matter what everyone thought, they all came out together to pay homage to Yuan Shu, the Zhong Emperor who had just visited the country.
.
After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he got retribution, saying that Han Yin, who had taken Lü Bu's daughter as his son-in-law, was sent to Xudu by Lü Bu. Now he was beheaded by Cao Cao. Lü Bu had awarded him the post of General Pingdong. Yuan Shu was furious and immediately sent him to Xudu.
Declare Lu Bu as a rebel!
Moreover, Zhang Shao was made a general, Ji Ling was a hussar general, Qiao Rui was a chariot general, Liu Xun was a guard general, Lei Bo was a former general, Chen Lan was a left general, Li Feng was a right general, and Liang Gang was a general.
After the generals, Le Jiu was the general who conquered the east, Chen Ji was the general who conquered the south, Qi Ji was the general who conquered the west, Qin Yi was the general who conquered the north, Yuan Si was the general who Zhendong, Qiannu was the general Zhennan, and Zhang Wei was the general Zhenxi.
Generals, Xun Zheng is the general of Zhenbei, Yang Feng is the general of Andong, Yuan Yin is the prime minister of the left, General Yang is the prime minister of the right, Yan Xiang is the imperial censor, Yang Hong is Taichang, Feng Fang is Guang Luxun, and Hui Qu is the guard.
Wei, Huang Yi was the imperial servant, Jin Shang was the court Wei, Wei Ling was the Dahonglu, Yuan Si was the Zongzheng, Mei Gan was the Dasi Nong, Han Yin was posthumously granted the title of Shaofu, and the rest of the civil and military officials were all accepted by the officials in the court.
Yuan Shu did not accept Liu Biao's status as a member of the Han Emperor's royal family, so he immediately appointed Liu Biao as Situ, leading the governor of Jingzhou, Han Sui as the Great Sima, leading the governor of Liangzhou, Ma Teng as the governor of Xiliang, and Sun Ce as Sikong, leading the governor of Yangzhou.
The governor, Zuo Aoran, was the general of cavalry and led the governor of Bingzhou. Yuan Shao was the general of cavalry and led the governor of Jizhou. After explaining some trivial matters, the troops were sent to Xuzhou.
He worshiped General Zhang Xun as the leading marshal and commanded an army of more than 200,000 people. He divided the army into seven routes to conquer Xuzhou. The first route had General Liu Xun of the Guard in the middle. The second route had General Qiao Rui of Chariots and Cavalry on the left. The third route was to conquer the south.
General Chen Ji is on the right, fourth line, former general Lei Bo is on the left, fifth line, left general Chen Lan is on the right, sixth line, general Andong general Yang Feng is on the left, seventh line, Zhenbei general Xun Zheng is on the right, divided
All the capable officers under my command will set out in the near future.
Jin Shang, the governor of Yanzhou, was appointed as Taiwei to supervise the transportation of money and grain to the seven routes. Jin Shang refused to follow him, so Yuan Shu killed him. His son Jin Wei escaped by luck and fled to Cao Cao. General Ji Ling, the hussar general, was appointed as the envoy to rescue the seven routes.
Yuan Shu himself introduced Li Feng and Liang Gang, and Le sent 30,000 troops and horses as envoys to advance and to coordinate the troops of the seven groups.
Yuan Shu's idea was very simple. He not only boosted the morale of the frontline soldiers by proclaiming himself emperor, but also personally led the troops in the expedition. In this way, his soldiers would definitely use their utmost strength to capture Xuzhou quickly.
The news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor spread quickly. As soon as this news came out, it could be said that it shocked the world, especially Liu Biao, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Zuo Aoran and others who Yuan Shu announced to enthrone. After hearing the news, they
Even more horrifying.
Without thinking, Liu Biao immediately drove Yuan Shu's envoys out of the government, and immediately declared Yuan Shu a traitor and severed all relations. Here, Han Sui and Ma Teng had just withdrawn their troops from Pujin, and although they heard the news a little late,
However, he immediately sent people to tell the world that he would not accept Yuan Shu's canonization and severed all relations with him.
The three princes who were canonized by Yuan Shu severed ties with him one by one. Yuan Shao, who was far away in Hebei, did not show any mercy and immediately announced to the world that as the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu was expelled from the Yuan family. The Yuan family had no relationship with him anymore.
However, Zuo Aoran, who was far away in Luoyang, was the last to receive the news. Because Yuan Shu's envoy sent the canonization to Bingzhou, Zuo Aoran was the first to receive the news. However, Zuo Aoran criticized Tian Feng's behavior.
In order to praise him, Tian Feng immediately killed Yuan Shu and declared Yuan Shu a thief in the name of King Hongnong!
The news came back to Shouchun one by one, and Yuan Shu found that he had suddenly become a lonely man. However, at this time, Yuan Shu still had no intention of waking up, and still insisted on using troops against Lu Bu in Xuzhou.
Lu Bu sent people to inquire about the news, and the scout reported back: "Now Zhang Xun's army is taking Xuzhou from the main road, Qiao Rui's first army is taking Xiaopei, Chen Ji's first army is taking Yidu, Lei Bo's first army is taking Langya, and Chen Lan's first army is taking Langya.
The army captured Jieshi, Xun Zheng's army captured Pi, Yang Feng's army captured Junshan, and the horses of the Seven Route Army marched fifty miles a day, plundering the future along the way."
Lü Bu was a little panicked, and hurriedly summoned Yuan Huan, Yuan Kan, Yuan Yu, Yuan Ao, and Yuan Zhun to discuss it. As soon as the five people arrived, Lü Bu asked: "Today, Yuan Shu's army is divided into seven groups to capture Xuzhou. When should we?"
How is it?"
Chen Gongdao: "The disaster in Xuzhou was caused by five men, Yuan Huan and his son. They used clever words and tricks to please the court and rescue Juelu. Today, the disaster is blamed on the general. You can cut off the heads of the five men and offer them to King Yuan, and his army will retreat."
Lu Bu was furious and ordered Yuan Huan and his son to come down, but Yuan Kan laughed and said: "How cowardly are you? I look at the soldiers of the Seven Routes, they are like seven piles of rotten grass, why should I care!"
Lu Bu asked: "What plan can you use to defeat this and save you from death?"
Yuan Huan said: "Who are the generals of the Seven Route Army and how many are there in total?"
Lu Bu said everything one by one. Yuan Huan chuckled and said, "How many generals and soldiers are there in total?"
Lu Bu said: "No more than 50,000 or 60,000 people."
Yuan Huan said: "Although there are many people who are not equal, I will wait for the hard work with ease, and I will branch out on all sides to welcome him."
Lu Bu said: "You are guilty of a crime that cannot be punished. Are you going to escape with your words to forgive me?"
Yuan Huan said: "Both father and son, good and bad, are under the control of the general. Where can we go? If the general is willing to use my words, Xuzhou can be safe."
Lu Bu said: "You can tell me in public and teach me clearly."
Yuan Huan said: "Yuan Shu has now taken Yang Feng as his wing. They are all rabble-rousers. They have never trusted each other and have no support. He defends them with regular troops and defeats them with surprise troops. They are all successful. There is another plan. Not only to protect Xuzhou, Yuan Shu also
It can be captured."
Lu Bu asked, "Speak quickly."
Yuan Huan replied: "Yang Feng is following Yuan Shu. He is like a phoenix chicken. It is not amphibious and can be captured standing. Yuan Shu uses people just like he accumulates salary. Now he uses Yang Feng as his wing. However, Yang Feng is an old Han official and left because of fear of Cao Cao.
He has no family to rely on and returns to Yuan Shu for the time being. Yuan Shu will definitely take him lightly. If he ties up with Yang Feng as an internal support based on the ruler's calligraphy, and then ties up with Liu Bei as an outside alliance, Yuan Shu will be captured!"
Lu Bu said: "You must go to Yang Feng in person to write a letter."
Yuan Kan said: "Kan will go now."
Yuan Kan volunteered, but Zhang Xian, a newly surrendered man under Liu Biao, persuaded Lü Bu to surrender in order to show his merit. He actually said that he would surrender Yang Feng. Lü Bu then divided his troops into five groups. Gao Shun led an army and marched into Xiaopei.
Enemy Qiao Rui, Chen Gong, Qin Yilu, Wang He led an army to Yidu, enemy Chen Ji, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Xu Dan led an army out of Langya, enemy Lei Bo, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Zhang Hong led an army
An army marched out from Jieshi to attack Chen Lan. Lu Bu led an army out of the main road to attack Zhang Xun. Each of them had 10,000 troops, and the rest defended the city.
Yang Feng acted as an internal agent and responded to Lu Bu's army. Yuan Shu's army was defeated. Yuan Shu led the remaining army to walk for several miles. An army came out from behind the mountain and blocked the way. Yuan Shu fled in panic. The person who blocked the way was none other than someone else.
, it was Guan Erye! Guan Yu came to kill Yuan Shu with his sword, but was blocked by Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's number one general. The rest of the people fled in all directions. Yuan Shu packed up the defeated army and returned to Huainan.
Lü Bu won the victory and invited Yang to a banquet. The whole group returned to Xuzhou. When they arrived at the city, they invited everyone to prepare a banquet and entertain the generals.
They dispersed and thanked each other. Guan Yu had already resigned and returned home.
