Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start - Chapter 181
Chapter 181 The Storm Is Surging, And The Princes React!
When Dong Zhuo said these words, Li Su, who was beside him, was a little embarrassed.
Originally, as the first military division, why did he recommend a person by himself and climb directly onto his head?
Dong Zhuo didn’t feel this subtle change, but Jia Xu could see it from Li Su’s expression.
He has always advocated not having enmity with others, so he hurried forward and said: “How can I be? How can I be the first military division? Please think twice.
Dong Zhuo only woke up when he heard Jia Xu’s words. Since Li Ru’s death, Li Su has always been his first military division. Although Jia Xu is powerful, how can he jump on Li Su?
Dong Zhuo laughed: “Mr. Wen Ruo’s words are right. Li Su is very talented, and he has served the Taishi with trepidation. He should be the first. Mr. Wenruo is the second military division.
This time Jia Xu did not refuse, but bowed to accept it.
Jia Xu, who was named Wen Tinghou, did not feel happy at all, but felt a little emotional in his heart.
He knew how much turmoil he would cause after this tactic.
He didn’t even know how many more 23 people would die, but he had no choice.
In the chaotic world, he can only try his best to save his own life, and all the other benevolence, righteousness and morality can be left behind. This is the principle of Jia Xu’s behavior.
On Dong Zhuo’s side, because of Jia Xu’s suggestion, he was in a very good mood, and the spring breeze on his face at the capital relocation ceremony even made everyone feel uncomfortable.
A few days later, after the discussion between Jia Xu and Li Su, an imperial edict was issued to the whole country in the name of the emperor, and the princes and kings were proclaimed wanton.
Yizhou prefect Liu Yan was the loser, Jingzhou prefect Liu Biao was in touch with the net, Yangzhou prefect Liu Yao was the king of Huainan, Yanzhou Cao Cao was the Marquis of Wuxiang, Liu Bei was the Marquis of Fenwei, Yuan Shao was the Marquis of Pingbei…etc.
Basically, people who are famous all over the world and have territory are either named kings or marquis.
The sudden decree made all the princes stunned, but after reading the meaning inside, they were all ecstatic.
The great forces in the world are suddenly turbulent, people’s minds change, everyone is coveting that throne, and a storm will sweep the entire world.
Yanzhou, East County!
After Cao Cao received the imperial decree, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
With his intelligence, he could naturally guess what Dong Zhuo meant, but he wanted to use the selfishness of the princes in the world to contain Liu Bian, and he was sitting in the middle of Guanzhong to reap the benefits.
However, this pie is indeed not small, even very large, even he is greedy.
Standing behind Cao Cao, Guo Jia said with a smile: “Since Dong Zhuo has this intention, why doesn’t the lord push the boat? Liu Dai appeared in Jingzhou a few days ago, and now he is encouraging Liu Biao to attack us. As long as he accepts Dong Zhuo’s appointment, then Our status as prefect of Yanzhou can also be down.95
Cao Cao laughed: “Fengxiao’s words deeply touched my heart.”
“Of course I won’t be afraid of Liu Biao’s useless, but we need to have a name, otherwise how can we pacify the Quartet?
“Dong Zhuo gave it to us, how can we not catch it?”
“Let Dong Thief borrow a knife this time!”
Guo Jia nodded slowly: “The person who came up with this plan is really amazing, even if we can see this kind of clever plan, we can’t bear to refuse it!
“Jia Xu! Jia Wenhe, is really not a simple person. 35
Runan.
Yuan Shao’s residence.
It has been a month since he escaped from Youzhou, and with the help of Ju Shou, he even managed to capture the entire area of Huainan.
When he received the imperial decree sent by Dong Zhuo, he was not very happy, and even felt extremely aggrieved for putting it together with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others.
It’s no wonder that when he was the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, what was Liu Bei? If he didn’t even have a position among the eighteen princes in the face of the royal family, would he be able to be on an equal footing with himself?
Therefore, when he received this imperial edict, he was full of complaints.
Ju Shou looked at Yuan Shao with a gloomy face and said with a smile, “You all report back to the emperor, saying that my master has accepted His Majesty’s appointment…”
After dismissing Dong Zhuo’s people, Ju Shu said, “Could it be that the lord doesn’t like this marquis?”
“Or is it that you don’t want to share the imperial mandate with some people?”
Ju Shou’s remarks can be said to hit the nail on the head, directly revealing the thoughts in Yuan Shao’s heart.
Yuan Shao sighed: “I think back then, when I was the leader of the Eighteen Route vassals, with hundreds of thousands of people under my command, what kind of scenery it was? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for me to be rewarded with the shoemaker now?
“How can I, the third prince of the fourth generation of the Yuan family, be insulted like this?”
In the end, Yuan Shao was even more angry, his face full of complaints.
Ju Shu said: “My lord, I don’t think so! 95
“Now that the position of the leader of the alliance has been lost, the leader of the alliance has been completely disintegrated, and you only have the title of Prefect of Bohai. Isn’t this marquis of great benefit to you?
“What Dong Zhuo meant was that he didn’t want Liu Bian to be better off, so he rewarded all the princes in the world and made everyone hostile to Liu Bian.”
“Besides, if you don’t accept the appointment of the Luoyang court, do you want to admit Liu Bian? If you don’t admit it, won’t you be cast aside by the world?”
Ju Shou’s last sentence, 050, was very severe.
Yuan Shao’s eyes narrowed after hearing these words.
He is not a stupid person, how can he not hear good or bad words?
But no matter what, he was always uncomfortable in his heart: “Sir, but this makes me and Liu Bei’s villain together, it’s really…”
Ju Shou’s face turned straight: “How could the lord say such a thing? 35
“After all, Liu Bei is a member of the royal family. If it weren’t for his identity yet to be confirmed, he might be promoted to the king directly. I’m afraid that if that is the case, the lord will be even more upset, right?
Yuan Shao sighed deeply, “I’ll listen to you sir!”
Because of this imperial decree, everyone in the world has a different mind, and among them, Liu Bei is the most happy.
When he got the news of his title, he went into the house by himself and said, “I want to be quiet…
To be honest, the shock of this news was too great. His position was nothing more than that of Pingyuan Prime Minister, but he suddenly became a Marquis. Isn’t that proof…
Liu Bei smiled, but he did not lose his last reason. After analyzing the situation, he finally gritted his teeth and decided: “Whether it is Dong Zhuo’s strategy or not, I have decided to be the marquis…”
