Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 349 Yuan Zhao ([-])

20 days later

February
All kinds of New Year celebrations and walking around the streets have ended, and spring plowing has begun. This period happens to be an auspicious day for marriage. It was on such a good day for marriage that Yuan Shao officially declared war on Cao Cao.

Yecheng
Royal Palace
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Yuan Shao took a group of civil and military ministers to greet Emperor Liu Xie.

If it weren't for the fact that the world is still called Dahan today, everyone would have forgotten that there is a Dahan emperor in Yecheng.

After all, Yuan Shao was from a famous family, and there were far fewer people who opposed him, and Dong Cheng and others were still in Guanzhong, so there was no such thing as a clothing belt edict.

In order to reduce the emperor's rebellious mentality, Yuan Shao kept asking Confucian scholars to instill in the emperor Liu Xie the theory of "passing the country and changing the surname", thinking that the current world is corrupted because Liu Han's vitality is exhausted, and only when the Zen seat is given in the future Only those who are virtuous can save the world!
Liu Xie is 20 years old, and his teacher is Wang Ding, the head of the Wang family.

In the past few years in Yecheng, Wang Ding did nothing but only one thing, frantically instilling in Liu Xie the idea of ​​"passing on the country and changing the surname".

Under such a background, Liu Xie didn't have any resistance. No matter what Yuan Shao said, he readily agreed, although it made no difference whether he agreed or not.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, invaded counties and counties without authorization, disrespected the court, and even colluded with the Yellow Turban bandits in order to rebel. Please issue an edict to attack Cao Cao. I am willing to eradicate the traitor Cao Cao for the great man!"

Yuan Shao's voice is full of emotion, and he has been preparing for this speech for a long time.

Liu Xie also received the news the day before, and the imperial edict had already been written in advance last night, and now it is just a formality.

"Yuan Shao is a great general, he walks on the sword in the palace, enters the court but does not follow, praises and worships but is not famous, attack Cao Cao immediately!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

After another process was completed, Yuan Shao and others left the temporary palace.

The world belonging to the Yuan family is coming soon!

another month later

All the princes in the world are paying attention to the decisive battle between Yuan and Cao. The two strongest princes today will fight, and the winner will most likely replace the Han Dynasty and become the next master of the world.

The Wang family has already invested too much in Yuan Shao, and even brought out Ma Deng's horseshoe technology, and only Yuan Shao is willing to continue to give the Wang family [Liao pay], and replace it with Cao Cao. Seeing his style of collecting nobles in Yanzhou, he must not be willing to part with it. To the Wang family [Liao pay], so the Wang family has no reason not to support Yuan Shao.

What the Wang family needs is a host that can be used to suck blood, rather than being sucked by others in turn.

……

One month later

Jiangdong
"You must take good care of my younger brother, please!" the dying Sun Ce urged Zhang Zhao.

Not long ago, he was assassinated again by an assassin, and this time, the assassin finally succeeded.

Since he went on a killing spree in Jiangdong, assassins have assassinated him almost every month, but every time they failed, only this last one succeeded.

The people behind him hated Sun Ce to the extreme, and if they didn't kill Sun Ce, they would send assassins until Sun Ce died.

"Don't worry, general, this old man will definitely take good care of Zhongmou." Zhang Zhao understood what Sun Ce meant, it was to let him see the winner of the battle of Guandu with Sun Quan at the right time.

Even at this time, Sun Ce still did not think that the small Jiangdong could compete against the Central Plains. He took down Jiangdong only to have the value of a united front. Becoming a powerful family in the new dynasty is like when Liu Xiu unified the world, everyone turned to Liu Xiu one after another.

However, Sun Ce added: "If there is a chance, you can assist him to achieve a hegemony."

There are exceptions to everything. If the result of the war between Yuan and Cao is that both parties suffer, and neither Yuan nor Cao has a chance to dominate the world, then it is not that the Sun family has no chance to take the opportunity to achieve supremacy.

In short, Sun Ce is not pedantic. Everything depends on the actual situation. If there is a chance, he will take the opportunity to achieve hegemony and become an imperial family in the future.

This is also the reason why he clearly knew that Zhang Zhao was a capitulator, but still wanted Zhang Zhao to be a lonely minister.

Because he doesn't know how the situation will develop after his death. He may have a chance to achieve supremacy, or he may not have a chance. Who knows about this kind of future?He is Sun Ce, not a fortune teller!

"Veteran understands." Zhang Zhao's relationship with the Sun family is still good, and he is absolutely loyal to the Sun family.

(Loyal ministers can also be surrenderers, and rebels can also be main fighters. After Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei, all the main fighters were regarded as loyal ministers, and all surrenderers were rebels. But the actual situation is hard to say. There are rebels like Dou Xian in the Zhan faction, and loyal ministers like Zhang Zhao in the Surrender faction.)
After letting Zhang Zhao leave, Sun Ce called Sun Quan again and warned him, "Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs."

"Don't be brave like me. If you have the opportunity, you will be cowardly. If you don't have the opportunity, you will be cowardly. Don't learn from me, or sooner or later you will be betrayed and die!"

Sun Ce used his own personal experience to warn Sun Quan that in the future, he would be a fool with both ends of the head, and he must not be reckless like Sun Ce, and he would turn against Jiangdong in the end.

"Mice are not ashamed, this is a way of survival!"

"Looking at the long river of history, those who can survive are often the poor, and the proud people often don't live long."

"This is what the Tao Te Ching says, those who are too rigid are easily broken, and those who are kind and soft are invincible."

Unexpectedly, before his death, Sun Ce could comprehend such wisdom from the Tao Te Ching, admonishing his younger brother to be a scumbag instead of a manly man.

"Quan understands." Sun Quan replied respectfully.

The atmosphere was very frozen, everyone held their breath, and the biggest crisis of the Cao Cao regime was coming.

Looking at the people present, Cao Cao knew that many of these people had secretly contacted Yuan Shao, and they were waiting for Cao Cao's death, and they immediately surrendered to Yuan Shao and continued to be Yuan Shao's courtiers.

But this kind of thing, you can just know it in your heart, you can't say it, and everyone will lose face if you say it.

So Cao Cao just pretended to be calm and said: "Victory or defeat depends on one action, and I ask you to be of one mind with me!"

"Work together to reject the Yuan family!" Guo Jia praised in time.

This made Cao Cao very happy, so he shouted loudly: "Work together and reject Yuan Shi!"

"Work together to reject the Yuan family!" The people present, whether they had written letters to surrender or were writing letters to surrender, shouted along with Cao Cao, as if this could drive away the fear in their hearts.

There is no way, the strength gap between the two sides is too great, unless there is an inner ghost on Yuan Shao's side, otherwise Cao Cao can't think of how to win if he squeezes his head.

"Now write two surrender letters, one is to surrender to Cao Cao, and the other is to surrender to Yuan Shao. Whoever wins, we will take out whose surrender letter and become a family of the new dynasty, just like the princes of the world surrendered to Emperor Guangwu. "Liu Zhang, the son of Yizhou, has no great ambitions. He just wants to be a rich man to enjoy his old age. Although he calls himself Yizhou Mu to the outside world, he calls himself the son of heaven at home, because his father Liu Yan has already done this. The Son of Heaven is the Yizhou Mu to the outside world. He learned from Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and both internally and externally. He proclaimed himself emperor earlier than Yuan Shu.

"The trend of the world is about to become clear!" Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao murmured to himself.

"Husband, I've taken some medicine." The young Mrs. Cai brought a bowl of medicine soup.

Liu Biao, 59, has a 19-year-old wife who is younger than his son.

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are going to a decisive battle." Zhang Xiu was very nervous.

"No matter who wins, you are the winner, General." Jia Xu laughed.
