Chapter 453 The orphan hero Liu Xuande gets married
"It's better to make Liu the emperor!"
Yuan Shao summoned his subordinates and think tanks to discuss the matter. Only then did someone speak up, and an earth-shattering news came to him.
What is the relationship between Yuan Shao and Liu Cheng? Everyone present knows that they are people who will not stop until death and will kill with a broken arrow.
As a result, now, this man actually asked to make the traitor Liu Cheng the emperor, which is not surprising.
Even Yuan Shao, who had always been very good at pretending to be courteous, virtuous, and personable in front of outsiders, his expression changed a bit at this time and he sat upright.
"Xu Ziyuan, what do you mean?
Why should Liu Cheng, the traitor, be made the emperor?"
Someone asked with a frown.
Of course, some people sneered in their hearts and wanted to see Xu You roll over.
The person who spoke out the words to establish Liu as emperor was none other than Xu You and Xu Ziyuan.
Facing the gazes and attitudes of everyone in the room, Xu You seemed not to notice. He still stood upright with a smile on his face.
I don't care about the looks of the people around me.
Xu You cupped his hands to Yuan Shao and said: "At the beginning, the traitor Dong Zhuo had the emperor in his hands and controlled the court. This was his major advantage. This is indeed true.
However, the most fundamental thing is the power in the hands.
If the power in his hands is not strong, then all he has now will be lost.
If we establish a new emperor here, we can indeed resist Dong Zhuo and prevent him from having the exclusive convenience of using the emperor to command the princes.
However, the problem lies in who we choose as emperor.
This is a big problem.
On our side, the foundation is not based on the blood of the late emperor. If we want to be able to make sense and make many people agree, we cannot choose younger Han clan members.
Although younger Han clan members are easier to control, they are not able to convince the public and can easily become a joke.
However, older and more prestigious Han clan members have many ideas, are capable, are difficult to control, and can easily become self-defeating.
My lord, you can think about it. When Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and his uncle and nephew revolted, King Huai of Chu was appointed.
It was originally just a humanoid tool used as a banner, but later, it took the opportunity to gain great power.
If Xiang Yu hadn't fought tooth and nail to regain his military power, and made great contributions and gained great power in the subsequent campaign against Qin, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible...
In the original world, you are now free and can do whatever you want. You are the biggest here, and you have the final say.
But if you really set up an emperor, it would be equivalent to setting up a boss for yourself and setting limits for yourself.
Although he is just a useless emperor, who knows whether this emperor will be willing to be a useless emperor?
That's why I suggested that it would be better to make the traitor Liu Cheng the emperor.
After all, the traitor Liu Cheng is not here with us. If we make him the emperor, you won't really have an extra emperor here at first. You don't have to worry every day whether the emperor will want to do something.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo's traitors already had a genuine emperor. It would be okay to have another emperor at this time. Not only would it not increase the strength there, but it would also make it chaotic.
Liu Chengnai is the emperor's uncle whom the emperor personally recognizes, and he is also the grandson-in-law of that traitor Dong, and a general under his command.
As a result, now, he has become the emperor all of a sudden, and you can know the excitement of what will happen next without even thinking about it.
It would take a long time to resolve these effects, so he was definitely not in the mood to look around.
And originally, you can manage Jizhou well during this period of time, expand outward, occupy more places, and have stronger power..."
With a smile on his face, Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and talked eloquently.
At first, everyone was shocked when they heard the news that Xu Youli and Liu had become emperor, but now they felt suddenly enlightened.
Xu You's words were so blatant that they exposed many things that many people knew well before, but chose not to say, and put them on the stage.
There are moments of sudden enlightenment and shock in the heart.
Many people looked at Xu You, and many feelings in their hearts changed.
This Xu You and Xu Ziyuan are so eloquent and so brave!
How dare you say this in front of so many people!
After Xu You finished speaking, the room became a little quiet for a while.
Yuan Shao waited for a while, and when no one spoke, he asked: "What do you think of what Ziyuan said?"
Everyone was silent for a while.
"My lord, my subordinates think that Ziyuan's words cannot be used.
If this strategy is used, it will certainly cause chaos in Guanzhong, and may even cause discord between Dong and Liu.
In the short term, it can have a certain effect, but in the long term, it will do more harm to the protagonist.
The Son of Heaven is the common ruler of the world and is very sacred in the hearts of people all over the world.
The Lord and Liu Cheng have a bloody feud.
If he is made the emperor at this time, if we know that this is a strategy, will the others also know that it is a strategy?
If you really do this, how will the people in the world view your lord?
I am afraid that I will also regard my lord as a rebellious minister and traitor like Dong Zhuo.
The main reason why the lord is able to gather so many people under his command at this time is because the lord has great righteousness and can win people's hearts.
If you act like this at this time, it will definitely change many people's views on the Lord.
It is tantamount to destroying the foundation of the Lord's sufficiency.
In the short term, it may be beneficial, and may even produce miraculous effects, but in the long term, it will do all the harm and no good!”
The person who spoke was Shen Pei Shen Zheng Nan.
Hearing Shen Pei's words, Xu You couldn't help but glare at Shen Pei.
Shen Pei's words were not polite. Not only did he criticize Xu You's strategy as useless, he also attacked Xu You!
To say that Xu You is short-sighted is to undermine Yuan Shao's roots.
Shenpei naturally noticed Xu You's gaze, but Shenpei didn't care about it, as if he didn't see it.
Others were afraid of Xu You because Xu You and Yuan Shao had known each other for a long time and had followed Yuan Shao for a long time, but they were not afraid of Xu You.
He really looked down on this money-grubbing guy.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao thought for a while, looked at Shen Pei and said, "Then if it is according to Zheng Nan's wishes, how should this matter be done?"
Shen Pei said: "What I mean is that if the lord really wants to establish the emperor, it is not impossible. He needs to find a mature, prudent and prestigious Han clan member to establish him as the emperor. Only in this way can he convince the public and block the situation.
The world's long words will not make things look like a joke.
Only in this way will the emperor established be recognized by people, and the orders from the lord and later will be more authoritative."
The meaning of trial matching is that this needs to be done in an upright and upright manner, after all, things are different.
Some things can be done in a deceitful way, but some things must be done in an upright and upright way.
Yuan Shao nodded: "Zhengnan's words are just as reasonable as Ziyuan's."
After that, he added: "Then if Zhengnan is asked to name a person, who does Zhengnan think can be established as emperor?"
Shen Pei said: "Nowadays, in addition to the pig-killing Liu Cheng, the more famous clan members of the Han Dynasty include Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai's brother, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, and Liu Liu, the shepherd of Youzhou
Yu.
If you want to convince the public, you need to look among these people.
Liu Biao, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao can all be excluded, because although these people are famous, their reputation is not big enough.
Moreover, such a person, who has authority and a place in his hands, cannot be established as the emperor and is prone to backlash.
The subordinates felt that Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was more suitable.
This Duke was originally Zongzheng, but later there was a crisis in Youzhou, and he was worshiped as Youzhou Mu. In response to the rebellion of Zhang Chun and others, he became famous for a long time, far beyond the comparison of Liu Biao, Liu Dai and others.
And now in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan is rising strongly, and the conflict with Liu Yu is getting deeper and deeper. Although he is the pastor of Youzhou, his power is far less than that of the others...
The subordinates feel that if the lord really wants to establish an emperor and gather people in the name of the emperor, it is best to choose Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou..."
Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, but did not make an evaluation, did not say whether it was OK or not.
Instead, he continued to ask everyone...
After some inquiries, some advocated the establishment of an emperor, while others expressed that it would be better not to establish an emperor.
Among those who advocated establishing the emperor, some advocated establishing Liu Yu, some advocated establishing Liu Cheng, some advocated establishing Liu Dai, and still others advocated finding a young Han clan relative to establish as emperor. In this case, it would be easier to control in the future.
Everyone came up with ideas and expressed their opinions, which made it even more difficult for Yuan Shao, who already had some difficulty in choosing, to make a decision, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
After hesitating for several days and asking some people, Yuan Shao finally decided that it would be better to establish the emperor.
The candidate to establish the emperor is Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.
In addition to what Shen Pei said, another reason why Yuan Shao made Liu Yu the emperor was the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.
In Yuan Shao's view, by establishing Liu Yu as emperor, he was selling Liu Yu a huge favor.
The other party must be used for his own benefit.
With Liu Yu and his own strength, when the time comes to really take action against Gongsun Zan, he will be more confident here.
After making up his mind, he immediately sent Liu Yu to tell him about this matter...
Here in Jingzhou, Liu Biao was not in high spirits.
Even for his very young wife, it had been almost two months since the birth of the child, and some things could be done, but he still couldn't get interested.
The main reason is that Jiangxia was defeated by the traitor Sun Jian, and his general Huang Zu was killed by Sun Jian.
Jiangxia has now returned to his hands, but this time Sun Jian caused great harm to Jiangxia.
Although it was back in his hands, his vitality was severely damaged. If he wanted to return to the previous level without being robbed by Sun Jian, he would not even think about it for two or three years.
Huang Zu's death made Liu Biao extremely angry.
He wanted to send troops to attack Sun Jian and avenge Huang Zu.
But at this time, Sun Jian had already taken a boat to the east and arrived in Jiangdong.
And here, there is another Yuan Shu who is watching eagerly, wanting to attack at any time and tear some flesh from his body.
Even if Liu Biao wanted to kill Sun Jian to avenge Huang Zu, he could only endure it temporarily.
Just as I was thinking about this, someone reported that Kuai Liang was back.
Liu Biao calmed down, tidied his clothes, and went to meet Kuai Liang.
After the two met and discussed the etiquette between monarch and minister, Kuai Liang began to talk to Liu Biao.
Kuai Liang was different from Yan Xiang. The first thing he told Liu Biao was that he was promoted to Guanglu doctor and appointed as the prefect of Changsha.
"That thief Dong Zhuo is such a big deal."
Liu Biao said this and congratulated Kuai Liang.
Kuai Liang had a bitter smile on his face: "Lord, I'm not happy at all. This is the villain's poisonous plan to roast his subordinates on the fire.
Want to sow discord between the lord and his subordinates.
The humble Dong Zhuo disagreed with all the requests put forward by the lord, but he changed hands and got so many official positions for his subordinates. This was because he didn't want his subordinates to live...
These official positions are not counted, and their subordinates do not recognize them..."
Kuai Liang said this to Liu Biao, explaining his words and his attitude first, so as to avoid any conflicts in the future because of this matter.
Although he felt that his lord was not a fool and would not fall for such a simple trick as Dong Zhuo's, he still felt that it was necessary to make these words clear first.
This is necessary.
Liu Biao laughed when he heard this and said: "Zirou doesn't have to be like this, how can I not see the evil intentions of Dong Zhuo's dog thief?
It is not something that can be easily separated between us.
In fact, even if there is no movement from Dong Zhuo this time, I am still prepared to let Zirou serve as the governor of Changsha."
After hearing this, Kuai Liang quickly declined to plead guilty: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible. I have no intention of serving as the governor of Changsha, nor do I have the talent. Dong Zhuo's words are just for design, so don't pay attention to them..."
Kuai Liang couldn't refuse, because the governor of Changsha County was Liu Pan, Liu Biao's nephew.
He was Liu Biao's confidant. No matter what, he could not compete with Liu Pan for the position of governor of Changsha County.
Liu Biao took Liu Pan's hand and said with a smile: "Zirou, you don't have to be like this, I mean it.
Zirou just came back, have you heard about Jiang Xia?"
Kuai Liang nodded and said: "I know a little bit, but it's all rough and not comprehensive."
Liu Biao sighed and said: "Prefect Huang fell into Sun Jian's plan. Although his subordinates shot and wounded Sun Jian, Sun Jian did not die. Instead, he killed Huang Zu, plundered Jiangxia, and sailed to Jiangdong.
.
I thought about it and finally decided to transfer my nephew Liu Pan to Jiangxia to take over Jiangxia from Prefect Huang.
Since then, there has been a vacancy for the governor of Changsha.
I thought about it carefully, and I feel that the only person who has the talent to serve as the governor of Changsha and can make me feel completely at ease is you, Zirou.
I originally thought that Zirou would make the appointment as soon as you came back, but I didn't expect that Thief Dong would actually use this matter as a plan, and he just happened to go with me.
This is the time when the old thief’s plan came to nothing.”
Liu Biao said this and laughed.
Kuai Liang still refused, but Liu Biao did not allow it.
He insisted on giving the governor of Changsha to Kuai Liang.
Kuai Liang repeatedly declined.
It was not until Liu Biao pretended to be angry that Kuai Liang refused and accepted the Changsha governor's offer.
"The lord treats Kuai Liang like this, Kuai Liang will definitely live up to the lord and is willing to do his best for the lord!"
After taking over the post of governor of Changsha, Kuai Liang bowed respectfully to Liu Biao and said this.
Liu Biao helped Kuai Liang up and smiled heartily...
Five days later, news came from Nanyang that Yuan Shu's chief administrator, Yan Xiang, had a conflict with Yuan Shu after returning from Chang'an with his envoys, and was dismissed by Yuan Shu.
On the way back to his hometown, he was targeted by thieves because he brought too many things, and everyone in his family was killed.
At the same time, rumors spread that the bandits who intercepted and killed Yan Xiang were sent by Yuan Shu.
Liu Biao was stunned for a moment when he heard such news.
"What an idiot!"
Liu Biao, who was stunned for a while, cursed loudly, looking speechless.
He already knew that Dong Zhuo used similar divorce tactics on a large scale.
At least anyone with a little bit of brains can figure out this strategy and won't fall for this evil trick.
When he was talking to Kuai Liang, he also said that he really didn't know what Dong Zhuo was thinking, and he actually used such a cheap tactic to alienate people.
Only fools would fall for it.
And those who could allow Dong Zhuo to resort to alienation tactics were all people of high status. How could someone who could reach this point be a fool?
This time, Dong Zhuo could only steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Who would have thought that this slap in the face would happen so quickly.
Yuan Shu violently used practical actions to slap his face until it hurt!
He, Yuan Jiujiu, was deceived by this simple and direct alienation plan.
Because of this, all the chief clerks under him were dismissed from their posts.
It was not enough to simply remove him from office. He also sent people to intercept and kill the chief registrar on his way back to his hometown after he was dismissed from office!
This really put Liu Biao out of control all of a sudden.
No matter how he thought about it, he never thought that Yuan Shu would actually do something like this.
After scolding Yuan Shu for being an idiot for a while, Liu Biao suddenly remembered that he had been fighting with such a guy before, and the fights were back and forth, sound and color, and he suddenly felt bad.
I am the idiot?
Shaking his head vigorously, he shook off the feeling rising in his heart and did not let it affect his mood.
Although he lost his general Huang Zu and many soldiers, horses and food, Sun Jian also crossed the river and headed to Jiangdong.
Really speaking, Yuan Shu's losses were greater than his own.
Now, he is making more and more mistakes and has killed all his subordinates!
Without Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, how could such a guy be his opponent?
With this thought in his mind, Liu Biao soon became energetic and full of fighting spirit.
Of course, after getting tired of his wife Cai Shi for a while, Liu Biao waited until it was almost dark before he raised his fighting spirit again...
…
Pingyuan County.
"Thief Dong goes too far!!
Sooner or later, I will definitely cut off his head and make it into a urinal!!"
Guan Yu, wearing a cuckold, holding a big sword in his hand and having a long beard, narrowed his narrow Fengdan eyes, and his red face became even redder. He suppressed a roar and wanted to kill Dong Zhuo on his horse.
The reason for such strong anger was naturally that Sun Qian, who had led his people all the way to Chang'an, returned from his mission.
After hearing what happened to Sun Qian in Chang'an, especially when Dong Zhuo actually let Sun Qian serve as the magistrate of Pingyuan County and brought his brother into the ranks of rebels, Guan Yu couldn't help it.
He was so angry that he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo with his sword.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, looked calm and seemed not to care.
He reached out and took Guan Yu's hand.
Guan Yu suddenly became calmer.
He smiled and said: "Second brother, there is no need to be so angry.
This is what Thief Dong said, and we can just blow it away as a fart. At this time, those people have no other means to deal with us except barking.
My Pingyuan County Magistrate, Dong Zhuo said he is not the one, right?
He said let Gongyou replace me, Gongyou will replace me?
This is just some low-end strategy."
When Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu seemed much calmer.
His red phoenix eyes narrowed, and when he spoke, he still seemed a little angry: "Of course I know what the elder brother said, but I am just unhappy in my heart. This old thief is bullying others too much!"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it, let's just do our own things well. A person's life lasts, not three or five years.
In five or ten years, who can know where you and I will go?"
Hearing what Liu Bei said, Sun Qian and Guan Yu were infected by his confidence and optimism.
After talking about what he saw in Chang'an for a while, Liu Bei smiled and said: "It seems that Guanzhong is not very peaceful. Everything Dong Zhuo has is based on his own powerful force.
Without these, it will completely fall apart.
It is certain that Dong Zhuo will attack Xiliang next.
No matter where you look at it, his next target will definitely be Xiliang...
Regarding Ma Dai, Gongyou, you responded very correctly..."
"Brother, when the time comes and war breaks out in Xiliang, should we continue to work here, or should we go over to help and attack Dong Zhuo from the east?"
Guan Yu touched his beard with his hand and looked at Liu Bei to ask.
Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "The time will depend on the situation. If we can help, we will definitely help. The Dong thief still has to fight. We can't just sit here and wait for the Dong thief to decline.
However, our current strength is still too small, and the area we own is too small. Although Pingyuan County is a big county, it is only a county after all..."
"This time, the people from Xiliang may be able to accomplish something. After all, Liu Thief's military power is gone!"
Guan Yu spoke out, with anger in his voice.
When Liu Cheng was mentioned, his eyes turned red.
Even Liu Bei, who had always seemed relatively calm, had mood swings.
"I don't know. It's hard to tell. Who knows if this is true or if there is any element of Dong and Liu acting in it?
The Dong thief can take away military power, and then at the critical moment, he can return it to the Liu thief..."
Several people discussed things until late at night, and then they just ended.
"Don't think about these things these days. The most important thing right now is to organize the lord's marriage. This is the top priority.
I was in a hurry all the way because I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with my lord to get married."
When leaving, Sun Qian smiled and said...
Four days later, Pingyuan County became lively and Liu Bei married Mrs. Bai Yugan.
After a busy period of entertaining, it was not until evening that we finally settled down.
Liu Bei, who had drunk a little too much, stood in front of the door of his new house and hesitated for a while, then opened the door and walked in...
