Three Kingdoms: Start With 3,000 Qin Cavalry To Revive The Qin Dynasty

"The eldest son's words are reasonable. With the prestige of the lord, even if he is proclaimed king, no one dares to object and will not beg the lord to be crowned king.

As Yuan Shao's generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also followed closely and began to persuade.

"The general also begs the lord to proclaim himself king!"

Chunyu Qiong, Han Meng, Gao Gan and others also knelt down to advise.

Be king?

Yuan Shao was excited.

This was something he had never dared to imagine before.

As the fourth generation and the third prince, Yuan Shao understands that no matter how much he has done, no matter how much contribution he has made.

Even if Dong Zhuo is killed and the emperor is brought back, at most he will only be a minister of Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty. The positions of general, chief minister, and chief minister can be left to him, Yuan Shao, to pick.

But so what.

Even if he worked hard all his life, he would not be able to become king despite his "three-six-zero" nature.

If he could obtain the title of King of Bohai, it would be hereditary and his descendants of the Yuan family would inherit the throne for generations to come.

Such a height is the result of the efforts of several generations of the Yuan family. Neither can be achieved.

Looking at the entire four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, except for the kings with different surnames such as Han Xin, Yingbu and Peng Yue during the period of Emperor Gaozu, no other kings with different surnames could appear.

"Lord!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was a little moved, an inappropriate voice interrupted his thoughts.

Xu You stood up and said: "Although the Han Dynasty is weak now, the reputation of the Han Dynasty has already become popular in the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty was raised. The big families also have their hearts set on the Han Dynasty. If the lord rashly becomes the king, he will only make enemies everywhere, which will be detrimental to the lord." ."

Fengji, who had always been at odds with Xu You, was willing to maintain the same opinion as Xu You on this matter, and followed up by persuading:

"Since Ying Xi wants to claim the throne, he has violated Emperor Gaozu's will and will definitely attract attacks from all the princes in the world."

"My lord can also take advantage of this opportunity to expand his strength. He can find a way to capture Jizhou first, and then annex the northern land to strengthen himself. In the future, it is not a matter of words to become king.

The other civil servants also saw the disadvantages of becoming king, and they all made rapid progress.

The little thoughts in Yuan Shao's heart disappeared because of the persuasion of Xu You and others.

In the end, he could only accept the title of Marquis Nanpi according to Xu You's wishes and express his gratitude.

Xuzhou, Tao Qian's residence.

Tao Qian, who participated in the Eighteen Route Princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, returned to Xuzhou from Luoyang. He didn't know whether it was due to the cold due to the long journey or because he was old and frail. Not long after returning to Xiapi, he became bedridden. .

When Tao Qian fell ill, Xuzhou's military and political power was controlled by Chen Si, Cao Bao and Mi Zhu.

When he received the imperial edict, Dong Zhuo actually made himself the Prime Minister. Tao Qian didn't expect it.

Unable to guess Dong Zhuo's intentions, Tao Qian ordered people to invite Liu Bei.

"Xuande, that old thief Dong Zhuo brought trouble to Chao Gang, thinking that by giving me Tao Qian the title of marquis and general, I, Tao Qian, would be loyal to him."

"Although Tao Qian has no ability, he wishes he could eliminate thieves for the country, but he would never dare to succumb to thieves."

"I am now ill in bed and fear that I will not have much time left. Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a kind man. I want to entrust Xuzhou to you. I hope you can keep the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou safe.

While speaking, Tao Qian secretly winked at Chen Si.

Chen Si understood it and came to Liu Bei's side holding a wooden box.

What is inside the wooden box is the seal of Xuzhou Mu.

Seeing Tao Qian suddenly playing this trick, Liu Bei was shocked.

Those eyes. Constantly spinning around. Even the little head started spinning.

That was Xuzhou Mu, who combined the military and political power of Xuzhou.

Once Liu Bei accepts this position, he can become a prince in one leap.

Liu Bei was even thinking about it. After he obtained Xuzhou, he used Xuzhou as his foundation to eliminate Ying Xi, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other rebellious officials and traitors, and achieved great hegemony.

Without thinking much, Liu Bei returned from fantasy to reality.

I don't know Tao Qian's true intention, so he can't accept it.

"Ming Gong will definitely live a long life. It's just a minor illness. It's not worth mentioning at all."

"Minggong showed his kindness to Bei by educating him. He appointed Bei as the prime minister of Xiaopei in an unusual way. Bei knew that he was lacking in talent and learning, so he reluctantly took over Xiaopei. This was a failure to repay the kindness of Duke Ming. How could he have any other ideas.

"Bei should take his two brothers back to his hometown to avoid causing trouble to Ming Gong here..."

Liu Bei burst into tears as he talked and burst into tears on the spot.

The crying part is called miserable, the other part is touching.

Tao Qian saw Liu Bei's true feelings revealed. The doubts in his heart also burst into tears as Liu Bei cried. The smoke disappeared.

"It doesn't matter, I am being rude about this matter. Xuande, please don't misunderstand me. What happened today is just my nonsense."

"Xiaopei still needs you to govern Xuande. As for leaving, don't mention it again in the future."

The two old foxes were playing a master game, mutually supporting each other in business, and after a while of pushing and shoving, Liu Bei was grateful again, crying, and left.

"My lord, I have said before that Duke Xuande is a benevolent and righteous person. He came to Xuzhou just to help my lord. He has absolutely no other wrongdoings."

"Now that my lord is testing it in person, I believe there will be no more hesitation and doubt." Chen Si said.

"I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart and misunderstood Xuande. My two incompetent sons will never be of any use. If Xuzhou is handed over to him, I am afraid that my Tao family will be torn apart by those princes. of crushing.”

"Perhaps only Xuande can assume the great post of Xuzhou Shepherd and protect our Tao family's prosperity for the rest of our lives.

Tao Qian was filled with emotion and worked hard for his family.

He never noticed that Chen Si next to him had a signature smile like an old fox.

When Yuan Shu received the canonization decree from the imperial court, he found that he was only named a small Xin Fenghou.

Instead, they received news that Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Yao were all granted the title of King, and Ying Xin was granted the title of King of Jin.

Yuan Shu, who was full of dissatisfaction, immediately expelled the envoys sent by Dong Zhuo and called himself King of Nanyang on the grounds that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family were famous all over the world and should be crowned king.

In his hometown in Runan, he prayed to heaven and earth, warned the world, and held a king-proclaiming ceremony.

After Yuan Shu became king, he immediately issued the first order as King of Nanyang.

On the grounds that Liu Yao had no merits and virtues and was not worthy of being king, regardless of whether Liu Yao had any intention of becoming king, he directly sent generals Zhang Xun and Lei Bo to attack Liu Yao and march into Huainan.
