Chapter 1564
Chapter 1562: The Three Hans Stand Together in the North, South, and China
"My lord, the assassination operation failed."

After hearing such a report from his subordinates, Zhang Liang couldn't help but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The plan to assassinate Wang Mang this time was made by him himself, and Chang'e provided information, and even the great master was sent out. Logically speaking, it is impossible to fail.

But even this failed to kill Wang Mang, so this guy's life is too tough.Zhang Liang was secretly puzzled.

"Ju Wuba alone can't stop the two adults, but Xia Luqi and Wang Yanzhang who were patrolling at the critical moment arrived in time, which allowed Wang Mang to escape."

"I see."

Zhang Liang showed a clear look, and at the same time he was even more amazed at Wang Mang's luck, which was indeed a bit too good.

"My lord, do you want to start the second round of assassination? Wang Mang will definitely not be able to escape this time."

After hearing this proposal, Zhang Liang frowned, feeling a little moved in his heart, but he gave up after weighing the pros and cons.

"Forget it, once you've already challenged Zhu Tianpeng's bottom line, if you force him to Wang Mang's side again, the gain will outweigh the loss." Zhang Liang said lightly.

The assassination of Wang Mang was indeed arranged by Zhang Liang, but the purpose was to prevent Zhu Tianpeng from being really persuaded, and to prevent the Liangshan incident from happening again in Qi State.

Wang Mang jumped up and down in Qingzhou, constantly making enemies for the Qin army. If Zhu Tianpeng was really moved by him, even if Li Jing blocked the Qi army in Beihai, it would invisibly increase the pressure on the Qin army.

Wang Mang's various actions have already touched Zhang Liang's bottom line, so he organized this assassination.

However, if Zhu Tianpeng was completely angered by the assassination of Wang Mang and allowed to join the battle ahead of time, then the gain would not be worth the loss. Naturally, Zhang Liang would not do such a thing.

In Zhang Liang's plan, he wanted to use Zhu Ming's internal strife to provoke the Central Plains princes to fight in a melee, so that the Central Plains princes could neither get involved in the struggle for hegemony between the Three Hans nor distract themselves from intervening in the Qin army's capture of Hebei.

Liu Che will soon ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and Liu Ji will soon support Liu Bian to ascend the throne again. At that time, there will be three Han emperors in the world at the same time, and each of them will claim to be orthodox. At this time, the positions of the princes of the Central Plains will be very important.

Qin Jun was originally the overlord of the princes, and he controlled the court and occupied the righteousness, which was very enviable.

Therefore, if two other Han emperors really emerge to target the Qin army, the princes of the Central Plains may not necessarily stick to their previous positions and still agree that the Luoyang court is orthodox, and it is even very likely that they will all unite to fight against the Qin army just like they did against Dong Zhuo. The overlord Qin Jun hit the ground first.

What can be confirmed for the time being is that Liu Ji and Liu Yu in Yizhou, Li Shimin in Guanzhong, and Liu Xiu in Jingnan, these four princes all support Liu Bian.

Han Xin and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Song Jiang in Qingzhou, and Yan Jun in Youzhou, these four princes supported Liu Che.

Once the princes of the Central Plains no longer support the imperial court and instead support the two parties, the Qin army may be enemies on all sides, and even the princes and overlords will be powerless.
Therefore, Zhang Liangcai wanted to use Zhu Ming's internal strife to hold back the princes of the Central Plains, making them unable and powerless to target the Qin army.

This plan is not without boldness. If Zhang Liang wants to succeed, he must grasp the appropriate speed.

Neither can Xue Ju be easily defeated by Zhu Di, nor can the princes of the Central Plains really destroy Zhu Ming.

Only by obtaining a balance point can the forces of all parties continue to consume each other, and even if they want to withdraw, they will not be able to withdraw.

Therefore, Zhang Liang must help both Xue Ju and Zhu Di.

The way Zhang Liang helped Xue Ju was to reveal the secrets to him in advance, and preventing Zhu Tianpeng from joining the Hebei war was the way Zhang Liang helped Zhu Di.

Even if Zhu Di put down Xue Ju's rebellion, it would be difficult for Zhu Ming, who was seriously injured, to stop the siege of Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin and other princes.

Zhu Tianpeng will definitely not ignore Zhu Di, but if the Qi army is persuaded by Wang Mang to join the war in Hebei and fall into the quagmire of Hebei, when Zhu Ming is really in a life-and-death crisis, Zhu Tianpeng will not be able to withdraw even if he wants to withdraw his troops to help Zhu Ming .

Once Zhu Ming is annexed by Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin, they will definitely turn their guns on the Qin army, and Zhu Ming's only reinforcements are Qi. Only with the assistance of Zhu Tianpeng can Zhu Di carry the Get through this calamity.

Therefore, Zhang Liang would rather give up getting rid of the scourge of Wang Mang than continue to provoke Zhu Tianpeng. If Zhu Tianpeng is really forced to send troops and is unable to rescue Zhu Di at that time, the situation in the entire Central Plains may be out of control.

"Fortunately, everything is still under control. Wang Mang has not convinced Zhu Tianpeng, and the Qi army has not yet participated in the Hebei War."

Zhang Liang secretly said, he was also secretly relieved, calculating so many forces with his own power, even he was a little bit overwhelmed.

"But it's coming soon. As long as the princes of Hebei are eliminated, even if the princes of the whole world unite, our Qin army will still not be afraid." Zhang Liang said to himself with burning eyes.

Yizhou
Liu Ji, Liu Yu, and Li Shimin, who used to fight non-stop, not only shook hands to make peace, but also gathered together in Chengdu to discuss major issues, which made the people of Chengdu couldn't believe it was true.

Then there was even more shocking news that Liu Ji, King of Shu, Li Shimin, King of Tang, Liu Yu, King of Chengdu, and Liu Xiu, Marquis of Chu, jointly supported the deposed young emperor Hongnong Wang Liu Bian as emperor.

After Liu Bian proclaimed himself emperor, the titles of the princes from Longzhong remained unchanged, Liu Ji was still the king of Shu, and Li Shimin was still the king of Tang, but he added Liu Xiu as king of Chu, Liu Ji as prime minister, Liu Yu as Taiwei Liu Xiu is Sikong and Li Shimin is the general.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, establishing the capital is naturally the top priority, and Liu Bian is in the hands of Liu Ji. Outsiders thought that Liu Ji would establish the capital in Berkshire, but they did not expect that Liu Yu would voluntarily cede Chengdu and use Chengdu as his capital. The capital of the new dynasty.

Liu Yu naturally didn't want to give up Chengdu, but he couldn't. After all, Li Shimin and Liu Xiu were on Liu Ji's side in supporting Liu Bian's ascension to the throne, and Berkshire was not enough to take on the important task of being the capital of a country. Only the city of Chengdu is qualified to be the capital.

Liu Ji coerced Liu Yu to give up Chengdu as the capital, and Li Shimin and Liu Xiu also expressed support for this. If Liu Yu unilaterally opposed it, it would be easy to be kicked out of the alliance, and he would even be swallowed up by the other three parties. .

In addition, most of Shu County has been captured by Liu Ji, and Liu Yu's continued defense of Chengdu is not conducive to the formation of the alliance. In desperation, he can only give up Chengdu aggrieved.

Liu Ji has been attacking the city of Chengdu for many years but has not captured it. Unexpectedly, after supporting Liu Bian to proclaim himself emperor, he used the righteousness of the Han Dynasty to win it without a single soldier.

After the capital was established in Chengdu, Liu Ji issued an edict on behalf of Liu Bian to the whole world, reprimanding Liu Xie as a false emperor supported by Dong Zhuo, and that Liu Bian was the orthodox Han, and at the same time called on the princes of the world to crusade against the traitor Qin Hao.

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.
