late han empire

When Gan Ning reached Wu County, it was already too late.

Sun Ziqi has landed, replaced by Liu Ziqi.But that color and pattern is definitely not Liu Ming's flag, it is Liu Bei's flag.

I don't know if it is a relationship that has already been noticed, but Gan Ning soon received intimate greetings from Liu Bei's army of more than [-] troops.He had to retreat to the sea, and then returned to Yazhou to rest.The most important thing is to quickly report to Liu Ming what happened on Sun Quan's side.

"Thank you very much for your help, General!" In the city of Changsha, Liu Bei came to the meeting hall surrounded by civil and military personnel, muttering as he walked.

"The second stage has been completed, Sun Quan was assassinated three days ago!" Xu Shu said behind him.

"Our army has already captured Wu County, and just forced Liu Ming's navy to retreat not long ago. Now it should have begun to attack Chaisang. Sun Quan's children and clan members have all been killed. I believe it is only a matter of time before Chaisang surrenders." Wu Zong's disciple Zong Sheng reported.

There are no more generals available under Liu Bei's command, and almost all military power has fallen into the hands of Wu Zong.Perhaps, this is what the two sides agreed upon.Indeed, Sanzong still listens to Liu Bei's orders, but Liu Bei already feels that he is not much better than a puppet.

As for civil servants, he also has Fazheng and Xu Shu, who may be able to help him plan.Pang Tong was originally more important than both, but he had already been arrested by Liu Ming.So far, Liu Bei has been suspecting that it was people from Sanzong who deliberately arranged for Liu Ming to take Pang Tong away.

Perhaps, in their view, the existence of Pang Tong is also a threat to them?

"What happened to Cao Cao's remaining forces?" Liu Bei simply changed the subject to distract himself.

"The four counties in Jingnan are already under our attack. They know that Cao Cao is dead, so they will definitely choose to surrender. Unfortunately, the generals of Xiahou and Cao, including their clansmen, all retreated quickly. We don't know what happened to them. Where did you go?" said Dao Long, a disciple of Dao Sect, regretfully.

"Before Cao Cao died, he said the word 'North', maybe he wanted them to join Liu Ming?" Xu Shu quickly made a judgment based on the information of that day.

"As long as you pay close attention to the passage going north, you should find some clues." Liu Bei nodded.

"My lord, now that the influence of Cao Cao and Sun Quan has come to an advanced stage, should we take back Zitong and Chengdu immediately?" Dao Long remonstrated.

"It's not in a hurry now. The other party may not respond at all. Think of a way first, and the most important thing is to bring Jingbei back." Liu Bei rejected this proposal.

"Then please allow me to regretfully tell you that it is also not feasible to attack Jingbei. Perhaps we have been caught by surprise in attacking Yizhou. If we attack Jingbei, then our advantage will be gone. After all, even if it is now, the opponent He is also paying close attention to our every move." Dao Long pointed out very bluntly.

It can also be seen from this that the disciples of the three sects never regarded Liu Bei as the real master.

"Sign an armistice agreement with Liu Ming now, do you think it's possible?" Liu Bei asked casually.

"If we attack Liangzhou again, even if the other party doesn't want it, they have to sign. Unless, their soldiers who are fighting in the Western Regions don't need supplies!" Dao Long gloated.

The disciples of the three sects are all cultivators, and their purpose is to obtain the Dao of Longevity.On this basis, the ethics and morality of the secular world are not so important in their eyes.Perhaps in their view, once they become gods, they are beyond the existence of mortals. Human beings are like ants in their seriousness. Who would pay attention to which group and species of ants are they?

"No, we can't do that, really can't. Once the soldiers fighting in the Western Regions are killed, the foreign army will directly enter China, and the people will definitely be devastated." Liu Bei still has a sliver of conscience, and he will not let such a thing happen.

In fact, apart from Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others would also not have seen such a thing happen.Of course, they will not close their eyes and act like ostriches.

"Well, let's try to express kindness to Liu Ming. Seeing that it's already deep winter, it's not worthwhile to fight at this time." Dao Long said indifferently.

The next thing is easy to talk about, the delivery of the letter, the suppression of the bandit, of course there are a series of things such as peace and investigation.The most critical of these is naturally the recruitment of soldiers and generals under the command of Cao Cao and Sun Quan.If possible, Liu Bei hopes to firmly control two or three armies, even if it is for self-protection.

The truce letter was sent back soon, and Liu Ming agreed to a truce.The armies on both sides of the border retreated fifty miles respectively, leaving a blank area, and then entered the stage of armistice.

Of course, Liu Ming didn't mean to take advantage of Liu Bei so much, he got a lot of benefits from him.Whether it's Liu Bei or Sanzong, for the sake of stability, he acquiesced to this blackmail this time.The most painful thing was that Liu Ming seemed to know where their bottom line was, and the price he offered was neither high nor low, just enough to make them suffer, but it couldn't make them crazy.

In the remaining days, Liu Bei personally presided over the funeral of Han Xiandi.The tragic figure did not escape the assassination, and it was announced that it was Cao Cao who assassinated him.It was said that it was the day when the city was broken. In order to prevent Emperor Xian of Han from falling into the hands of others, Cao Cao directly sent someone to kill Emperor Xian.

In ancient times when communications were underdeveloped, many people still believed in such rumors.Even if there are doubts, there is no way to go all the way to Changsha to seek proof.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty died without leaving any descendants.Under such circumstances, the great Han Dynasty is considered to be a subjugated country, and the princes of the world cannot be regarded as princes, they can only be said to be independent countries.But then again, isn't Liu Bei and Liu Ming the only princes left now?

If you really want to care about it, it can't be said that they are somewhat related in name.

After Liu Bei claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan, he was naturally a descendant of the Han family.Immediately after the fall of the great Han Dynasty, the disciples of the three sects coerced the ministers of civil and military affairs and demanded that Liu Bei be enthroned as emperor.

Liu Bei was helpless, and after three times of evasion, he agreed.

He didn't want to be enthroned in the first place, so he would do it even if he tried to evade it five or six times.It's just that he also felt that Sanzong needed him to ascend the throne very much, and for the sake of his own life, he had to compromise.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the outskirts of Changsha, for which the disciples of the three sects built a high platform for Liu Bei.That's really carved with jade, majestic and generous.

After choosing an auspicious day, Liu Bei changed into clothes and climbed onto the high platform.After burning incense and praying, and putting on the crown, it is regarded as completing the enthronement ceremony and becoming the new emperor.

However, just at this moment, a person came out.

He was not on the list to be invited, and even Liu Bei didn't know this person.However, he appeared in this enthronement ceremony and came to the high platform.

That was Sima Yi, the Sima Yi who disappeared after failing the scientific examination.

"The emperor please sit in the new king!" Daolong shouted as Sima Yi appeared.

"You...uh..." Liu Bei was about to refute something, but he didn't expect that there was already a knife in his chest.

"A person who weaves mats and sells shoes, does he think that if he claims to be of noble blood, he is really a descendant of the Han imperial family? Obediently step aside, this world is still the world of our family!" Sima Yi ignored the bloody scene, He came directly to Liu Bei's body.

He bent down, picked up the blood-stained crown, and put it on his head...
