I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354, Changes in the Central Plains
When Xu Wei led Daqian to a new path, the Central Plains area also began to undergo drastic changes because Xu Wei captured Jizhou!

The first change was that Liu Bei left the dilapidated Guanzhong with the entire Chang'an court, and came to Xiangyang City in the southern county of Jingzhou, using Xiangyang City to establish the new capital of the Han Dynasty!
There is no way, Lei Gong's offensive is too sharp this time. The 26 Jizhou army prepared for half a year, but they were still defeated by the Tengjia army, with no power to resist.Looking at the defeated Guanzhong, the Sangong and Jiuqing of the imperial court never felt that Guanzhong could still withstand the attack of the Tengjia Army!
But 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 make trouble.

Even Yuan Shao's proposal to move the 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 didn't want to make fun of their own lives. At this stage, Xiangyang City is safer than Luoyang City!Therefore, moving the capital to Xiangyang was unanimously approved by the court.Everyone packed up their belongings, and followed Liu Bei to Xiangyang City.

Moreover, after Yang Biao and the others knew their own shortcomings, they finally stopped making troubles. Instead, they resolutely allied with Liu Bei, and in the name of Liu Beiqin Wang Gonggong, wrote a letter to Liu Bei as a general, making Liu Bei the number one general in the Han Dynasty. Take charge of the dynasty of the Han Dynasty!
After Yuan Shao heard the news, he was too furious, thinking that the court was too bullying, what was Liu Bei's background!It's just a down-and-out family member, who was born as a petty official, and his grandfather just became a county magistrate!

And he, Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, with his disciples and old officials all over the world, was actually ridden on top of his head by a shabby household. Even if he was appointed by the court as a chariot general, he refused to accept it. What should be done is obviously pointing at Liu Beide's lack of coordination!

He even wanted to write to the Sangong Jiuqing who participated in the imperial court, thinking that they were responsible for the Sili Rebellion and the loss of Jizhou!

But Yuan Shao's actions were quickly stopped by Xu You and the others.

"At the beginning, now Jizhou has been annexed by Lei Gong. Whether it is Sili or Yanzhou, we have to face Lei Gong. With Lei Gong's strength, we can't resist. At that time, we will ask Liu Bei for help. Now that you offend him like this, in the future The Central Plains was attacked by Lei Gong, where can we find reinforcements? Don’t forget that Liu Bei’s 10 Jingzhou army is no worse than ours! He is our biggest reinforcement!”

After such persuasion, and knowing that he still needs Liu Bei's support, Yuan Shao reluctantly accepted his status as a chariot general!
However, Yuan Shao now occupies the land of the three prefectures, and has become the hope of the nobles in the world. In order to resist Lei Gong, the nobles of the three states are extremely supportive of Yuan Shao. It can be said that they want money for money, food for food, and even let him His own children enthusiastically joined Yuan Shao's army!
Although Liu Bei took the imperial court away, most of the hundreds of thousands of troops that the imperial court dealt with the Xiliang army at the beginning were locals from Sili. Among them, Yuan Shao's strength has more than doubled!
He believes that even Liu Bei's strength is not as strong as his. Among the princes in the entire Han Dynasty, his strength is the strongest, and with the presence of Lei Gong, the nobles of the Han Dynasty need to deal with Lei Gong by themselves. Jealousy, thinking that Liu Bei can become a great general even if he settles in a poor household, so it is not too much for Yuan Shao to be king!

So Yuan Shao's ambitions began to swell. Although he did not become king, he wanted to create some momentum!
Soon within Yuan Shao's territory, the prophecy that "the one who replaced the Han, Dang Tu Gaoye" spread widely!

This prophecy means that the great man is exhausted and will be replaced by a new dynasty related to "Dang Tu Gao".

This sentence comes from "The Prophecy of Spring and Autumn", which is probably some weird things made by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng in the Western Han Dynasty. The period when it appeared was the last years of Emperor Wu.

At that time, the world of the big man was turbulent, and no matter how you looked at it, he was about to perish, but the people behind the scenes did not expect that Emperor Wu had been guilty of his own edict to stabilize the world again. Later, Huo Guang and Emperor Xuan of the Han extended the life of the big man for another 100 years.So this prophecy joke.

But because this prophecy became famous, every time in troubled times, careerists of later generations used it as proof of their rebellion. Later, whether it was Wang Mang, Gongsun Shu who proclaimed himself emperor in Bashu, or Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing, although they all used prophecy repeatedly to prove that they were It is the destiny, and the great Confucianism will help these emperors explain it. Anyway, this thing makes sense anyway, it depends on whether you can make it up.

Of course, after Liu Xiu, the son of true destiny, became the emperor, this prophecy disappeared.

And now this prophecy has finally spread again in Guanzhong, Central Plains and other places.Many celebrities have begun to explain this prophecy, and one of the most recognized sayings 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 Yuantao Tu, a doctor of the Chen State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there happened to be "Tu Gao" in Yuantao Tu's name.

To use a sentence that has not yet appeared in this world, everyone knows that Yuan Shao is the heart of Sima Zhao!
As soon as this explanation came out, it quickly spread throughout the Central Plains!Yuan Shao is the true son of heaven in the future!

Yuan Shao released the news to test the princes of the world!But the princes of the four directions seemed to have not heard it, and remained completely silent, even his little Cao Cao!He also didn't approve of Yuan Shao, who was his younger brother, who still targeted the court when Lei Gong, the great enemy, hadn't gone out.

Of course, Yuan Shao's temptation was not without results!When this news spread in the Central Plains to the ears of the Xiangyang court officials, this was the prelude to Yuan Shao's rebellion.

Liu Bei wrote to the court saying that Yuan Shu brazenly attacked Yangzhou during the period of King Qin and drove away the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the court. Rebel gang!

And Liu Bei's letter was approved by all the civil and military officials of the imperial court!The veterans of the imperial court are all foxes who have lived 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 still oppose Yuan Shao's desire to establish a new dynasty. Now they are all the members of the imperial court. If Yuan Shao establishes a new dynasty, he must use his small team. How could the court have their place? Isn't it just that they want these court officials to give up their rights, and they also know that this is impossible.

So even if the civil and military officials of the imperial court don't feel good about Liu Bei, they still support Liu Bei's ability to attack the Yuan Clan at this time, and Yuan Shu is the chicken, kill it for Yuan Shao to see!
Don't look at the decline of the imperial court now, but it is more than enough to deal with your Yuan family!
Of course, the imperial court did this to weaken the strength of the Yuan family. Now the Yuan family has two powerful forces, one is Yuan Shao from Luoyang, and the other is Yuan Shu from 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, and he even had an army of 20 people in his hands, which was very powerful.As far as the current situation is concerned, if most of the army in Yuan Shao's hands were not recruits, Yuan Shao's strength would even be stronger than the small imperial court that moved its capital to Xiangyang City!
And Yuan Shu also occupied two rich counties in Yangzhou, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County. The Jia army may not be able to defeat it, but it is more than enough to deal with the newly established Xiangyang small court!And the imperial court is to prevent this from happening.

It happened that Yuan Shu attacked other officials' territories without the court's permission during King Qin's time, so Yang Biao and the others planned to strike first, wipe out Yuan Shu's forces, and warn Yuan Shao not to mess around!

Liu Bei led an army of 5 land and water in Xiangyang, and attacked Lujiang County from Jiangxia County. At the same time, the imperial edict of the imperial court was handed down to other princes, agreeing to encircle and suppress Yuan Shu together!
Qingzhou, Beihai County!

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly after receiving the imperial edict: "The Rattan Armored Army is already unstoppable, why does the imperial court still fight among themselves? Could it be that the world is really going to be given to Lei Gong!"

Xun Yu said helplessly: "Now we can't call it the Tengjia Army. Lei Gong has already established a state, and now it will be called the Dagan State!"

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "It's just a monkey crown!"

Xu Wei said that even Cao Cao would not be like this, but Xu Wei chose to be in power, the name is not right, and he doesn't know what Lei Gong is afraid of. If he had such a powerful force as Lei Gong, let alone become king, he would have become emperor a long time ago. , Lei Gong also made such unknown things as the Four Peoples Council, all this made Cao Cao feel that the new Dagan Kingdom is like a grassroots team!
But Xun Yu said seriously: "Duke Ming is underestimating Lord Lei. He wants to change the world just like Wang Mang! It's a pity that this kind of thinking is too extreme. Even Wang Mang failed back then, and Lord Lei is even less likely to succeed!"

Xun Yu also knew Lei Gong's policy. Dagan's land equalization system is just a copy of Jingtian, but Jingtian collapsed thousands of years ago, and it is impossible to restore it now. Wang Mang used his life to explore this more than a hundred years ago. A road, come to an obvious conclusion, Ida can not go!

So Xun Yu is not optimistic about the current Lei Gong, and even the Xun family is considered a big man. He is naturally the enemy of Lei Gong. Even if Lei Gong might succeed, he will stop it, otherwise his family will be destroyed by Lei Gong up!
Then he solemnly said: "I have a classmate friend named Guo Mingjia, named Fengxiao, who can surpass me by 10 times, and he has stayed in Hebei for the past two years, and has a deep understanding of the Dagan Kingdom. To deal with Lei Gong, you still need to ask my good friend for advice!"

Cao Cao was surprised that someone dared to spend two years to understand the internal situation of the Dagan Kingdom. You must know that in the current big Han, Lei Gong has been demonized, and the three states of Hebei have been rendered into a ghost country like Huangquan by the powerful clans. A person who dares to go to Lei Gong's territory, 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 Dagan Kingdom, please Wen Ruo to introduce this great talent!"

Xun Yu nodded, and it didn't take long before he brought an unrestrained scholar to Cao Cao!

Guo Jia saluted casually: "Guo Jia from Yingchuan has seen Caozhou Mu!"

Cao Cao didn't care about Guo Jia's powerlessness and said, "I heard from Wen Ruo that you have stayed in Lei Gong's territory for two years, what have you gained?"

Guo Jia sat down at a desk at random and said: "Of course the harvest is huge. Compared with the big man, Lei Gong's territory is a new world, and there are new changes every day. The textile factory is Lei Gong's source of income, and the steel factory is Lei Gong's weapon. The barbarian from the desert has become the sharpest blade of Lei Gong. This is an unprecedented terrifying enemy of a big man. Even the original Huns did not have the strength of Lei Gong. What is even more terrifying is that Lei Gong's strength is growing every day. In terms of hard power, the possibility that the big man can beat the big man is less than [-]%! This is the combined strength of the whole big man. Judging from the current situation of the big man being divided, I don't see the possibility of defeating Lei Gong at all!"

Cao Cao was a little unhappy and said: "Fengxian, you were frightened by Lei Gong, and you are so timid. Although I have been defeated by Lei Gong many times, I still have an army of more than 50. Such a strong force can defeat Lei Gong, but It is still possible to defend against Lei Gong's invasion of the Central Plains!"

Guo Jia laughed so hard when he heard this that he even spit out the wine!
Guo Jia's rudeness made Cao Cao angry, but Guo Jia said quickly: "Caozhou Mu, you can understand the power of Lei Gong with a few figures. It was more than ten times more during the first emperor's time! Mayi Iron and Steel Works produces more than one billion catties of steel a year, which is dozens of times more than other places in Dahan. That's why Lei Gong can luxuriously make all his soldiers wear iron armor.

In order to restore the farmland in Jizhou, Lei Gong sent 20 poor horses and 30 cattle to Jizhou in half a year!All of these are leased to the common people. With such strong support, all the fields in Jizhou will be restored within two years!In addition, Lei Gong built hundreds of miles of canals in Mayi. Compared with the number of canals, Mayi is more than the whole country of Dahan. There are also rail carriages connecting the entire north, and cement built in the city. Ma Lu, all of this can be seen that Lei Gong is powerful. Compared with Qingzhou, it can be called a dimensionality reduction blow. "

Although Cao Cao doesn't know what dimensionality reduction strike is, but through the data comparison, he can also clearly understand that his own strength is too far behind Lei Gong's. Any item of big money is dozens of times stronger than his Qingzhou. With his strength, he wants to Resisting Lei Gong can be called a mantis arm blocking a car.

Even Xun Yu couldn't believe it and said, "Is Lei Gong really so powerful? Could you be deceived by Lei Gong?"

Guo Jia said helplessly: "I would rather Lei Gong lied to me, but what Lei Gong lied to me as a poor scholar, just to say, the rattan armor army has about two to three hundred thousand standing soldiers, and the armor of the standing army alone weighs more than ten 10 million catties, if weapons, crossbows and various engineering equipment are added, the equipment of the Guangtengjia Army will consume three to four billion catties of iron materials. There is no iron factory with an annual output of more than [-] billion catties. How can Lei Gong be so armed? What an armored soldier!"

Cao Cao and Xun Yu, the two were speechless.
