Sili had decided everything, and Liu Han planned to go back. The war schedule was delayed for two months due to the emperor's death. If he didn't go back to celebrate the New Year, it would be too late.

However, there is an extremely... strange memorial on the desk today.

"What are these people thinking?"

No wonder this memorial was placed at the top by Jia Xu, "King Zhao?"

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hejian belonged to the State of Zhao. When the emperor passed away, these Chang'an ministers signed a letter to themselves, hoping to make themselves king?

"Whose idea was this?"

Yang Biao, Zhao Wen, Ma Rixi, Fu Wan, Shi Sunrui...

After Liu Han finished reading, he put the memorial aside and said, "Wenhe, Fengxiao, what do you think about this matter?"

Jia Xu felt reassured when he saw his lord's indifferent attitude. He was afraid that his lord would forget everything after being flattered by these court officials.

The lord is now the king, but not the one-word king.

King Zhao?

Don’t talk about King Zhao in the future, even if the emperor...

not now!

Whatever is good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Now that the lord is very powerful, no matter how high-profile he is, even if there is bad blood among the princes, he will temporarily put aside the past grudges and choose to cooperate.

Although the lord has strong soldiers and horses, many ants have killed the elephant. Xiliang rebels, northern aliens, and southern princes have all united. No matter how strong the lord is, he is no match.

So what we have to do now, besides stabilizing the existing territory, is to keep a low profile and wait and see what happens.

Jia Xu: "My lord, Xu thinks that my lord, King Zhao, is definitely worthy of the position..."

When Guo Jia heard Jia Xu's words, he looked at Jia Xu in disbelief: "Brother Wenhe, you..."

Jia Xu: "Fengxiao, I haven't finished saying something yet, my lord, but now is not the time."

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, he was scared to death just now.

Liu Han: "Oh? Tell me."

Jia Xu: "My lord, this time I ate Jizhou and half of Sili in one go. All the princes must be staring at my lord. If my lord becomes king again, then the princes... will definitely form an alliance! Defeat my lord first, and then compete in the Central Plains based on their abilities." "

Liu Han thought the same way, "Then tell me, why do so many people suddenly bring it up?"

On this memorial, everyone in the Chang'an court signed their names, except those who were purged.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly. Of course he knew about this. These court ministers were really annoyed sometimes, but he still had to talk to them in a pleasant manner and not put on airs.

Originally, they also looked for Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and other civil servants under Liu Han, but these people were warned by Jia Xu and Guo Jia not to get involved. Once their names were on the memorial, things would become more complicated.

Jia Xu: "My lord, after the three assistants are stabilized, can I stay as Sili?"

Liu Han shook his head: "Although Chang'an and Luoyang are the capitals of our Han Dynasty, now that the mountains and rivers are broken, Luoyang and Chang'an are not the safest places at the moment."

Jia Xu: "How dare you ask my lord, the ministers of the imperial court..."

Liu Han suddenly realized that he had no intention of staying here. The emperor died and the Han Dynasty had no master. Is the imperial court still a imperial court?

Even if there is a new emperor in the future, as the emperor and his courtiers, will the new emperor use them to kill the former emperor's old ministers?

As long as you have this stain, it doesn't matter whether you are a third official or a ninth official, your career is over. Therefore, for themselves and their family, they chose to join Liu Han.

This brings up a question. Liu Han is already hostile to the nobles, and he is naturally even more hostile to the nobles who killed the emperor. If they want to surrender, will others want them?

So, everyone gathered together to discuss. Someone originally proposed to let Liu Han proclaim himself emperor directly, but it was rejected. This would probably lead to his death.

The late emperor was this nephew. He died inexplicably. He came so quickly. After dealing with the traitors, he was proclaimed emperor by the ministers. No matter how this happened, it was ridiculous. If it was used by someone with intentions, it would be because the King of Hejian had a heavy army. No longer satisfied with being a king, he planned to kill the little emperor and proclaim himself emperor.

Therefore, they settled for the next best thing, and everyone wrote a letter asking Liu Han to take the next step - to proclaim himself king.

In any case, once King Hejian agrees, they will have merit. Not only will they not be liquidated, they will also have the opportunity to bring huge benefits to themselves and the family.

The price paid was just a name.

Why not?

But they underestimated Liu Han. Liu Han had no intention of becoming king. They thought very well, but Liu Han ignored them at all.

"Wen He, there is Zhongde in the north. I leave Sili to you. Firstly, beware of Xiliang. Secondly, beware of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. These three... Jingzhao, or the whole Sili secretly are rats, you I have to keep an eye on you too!"

"Here."

Liu Han attaches great importance to this place. Sili has Tian Feng, a master who has no relatives, secretly, and Jia Xu to help him make suggestions.

"Fengxiao, how many people are suitable for Sili to keep here?"

Guo Jia: "My lord, we already have two generals, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun, and the other assistant generals, Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Yan Xing, Hao Zhao, Yang Ding, Yang Feng, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Hu Che'er, Li Meng and others, plus an army of 150,000, will be enough."

Originally, there were already 100,000 troops in the three counties of Yin, Hanoi and Hedong in Henan. There were another 100,000 troops in Sanfu. With the addition of 30,000 selected from the Xiliang army, Liu Han now had 230,000 troops in Sili. , leave 150,000, that’s enough.

"I'll just do as you say and find a day to teach me."

"Here."

Xiliang.

Due to the rebellion in Liangzhou and the death of the kingdom, Ma Teng succeeded in gaining a foothold in Xiliang with his bravery. Although he was weaker than Han Sui, he became a force that cannot be underestimated.

Today, he received information from Sanfu that the emperor had died, Li Jue, Guo Si and others had been executed, and the entire Sili had become the possession of the King of Hejian.

Ma Teng had few people he admired, but King Hejian was one of them. He was a hero during the Northern Expedition when he was young. He defeated the foreign tribes in ten years and had no power to fight back. But Ma Teng also hated King Hejian. Because of him, the Qiang people of Xiliang suffered losses. It was so tragic that it has not recovered to this day. Did he know that the King of Hejian captured 100,000 prisoners in this battle?

One hundred thousand!

Now he and Han Suijia don't have that many people together.

The imperial court is still the same imperial court, still the same behemoth.

The fundamental reason for the strength of Xiliang's army is that Liangzhou itself is located on the border between Han and Qiang. Therefore, frictions between the two countries often occur. In order to protect themselves, the people of Liangzhou must always be on guard against invasion by foreign enemies. This has led to the fierceness of Liangzhou's folk customs, and even Everyone is a soldier, which intensifies the fear of the Xiliang cavalry among ordinary people. When they see the Xiliang cavalry on the battlefield, they almost forget the wind and flee.

Last time the Bingzhou cavalry came to Xiliang to fight, it opened Ma Teng's eyes. The cavalry under the King of Hejian was stronger than the Xiliang cavalry. Now that Sili was back in the hands of this murderer, Ma Teng felt withdrawn.

Because of the rebellion, he has not been cleared, and he is still a traitor. The sword of the King of Hejian will one day fall on his neck. If he were Liu Han, when he went south to clean up the princes, he would never allow a thorn behind him. Threaten yourself at any time.

Ma Teng was scared: "Everyone, I'm thinking of writing a letter to the court to see if there can be a way out." (End of Chapter)
