The news that the emperor temporarily moved to Huaicheng and issued an imperial edict has spread all over the world. It is not good news for the two Yuans who are fighting, and they are in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Needless to say, Yuan Shao was in a stalemate with the Black Mountain Army when news came that the emperor wanted to mediate between the two parties, which embarrassed Jizhou.
What is even more controversial is that Yuan Xi, a descendant of the Yuan family, actually accepted the canonization of the emperor alone, even earlier than Yuan Shao!
This is a bit taboo, not to mention that Liu Xie also gave Yuan Shao the title of Taiwei, but this position was below Lu Bu. When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was very unhappy and did not express his position on accepting the title.
The counselors within Jizhou are also arguing about this matter. After all, on the one hand, the Yuan family is still a minister of the Han court, but on the other hand, if you bow to the Han court, it will not be conducive to gathering people's hearts. After all, Yuan Shao's men have all seen the rebellion.
The future of Daihan has just been gathered together!
After Yuan Shang in Montenegro heard the news, he was furious. Before the Han court envoys arrived, he launched several extremely violent attacks, beating Zhang Yan until he moaned incessantly.
But by coincidence, Yang Feng was ill and unable to fight. This made Zhang Yan suspicious. Is Yang Feng really sick, or was she threatening herself?
While Yuan Shao was wavering, Yuan Shu felt even more humiliated.
After Yuan Yao was defeated by Yuan Xi's trick, he still didn't give up at first. He took Zhang Xun to spy outside the city, trying to find an opportunity to rebel. As a result, as the emperor's car returned, Huaicheng's strength and troops increased greatly, and many people gathered together.
Counselor, his momentum suddenly overwhelmed Yuan Yaojun.
Among them, Huaicheng showed signs of intending to attack Yuan Yao's army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Yao quickly retreated towards Yuzhou, which meant that the dispatch of troops was a complete failure.
The only good news is that after Han Xian of the Baibo Army was defeated by Cao Cao and fled, he took refuge in Yuan Yao, which allowed Yuan Yao to save some face.
After Yuan Shu learned about it, he sent Chang Nu and several other generals to replace Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun at the Yuzhou border garrison. After all, in his plan, he would proclaim himself emperor in half a year. As the prince, Yuan Yao would have to
to appear.
In Shouchun, Jiujiang, Yuan Shu was sitting on the throne, playing with the jade seal in his hand. This was the so-called national jade seal that Sun Jian originally dedicated to him.
The emperors of the Qin and Han Dynasties had seven seals. The "Book of the Later Han·Guangwu Ji" in the third year of Jianwu quoted Cai Yong's "Doctrine": "The emperor's six seals are all jade tiger buttons, and the text is called 'Emperor's Seal', 'Emperor's Seal',
'Emperor's Seal', 'Emperor's Seal', 'Emperor's Seal', 'Emperor's Seal' are all sealed with Wudu purple clay."
Each of these six seals has its own use. Now in the hands of Liu Xie, together with the most important jade seal handed down by Yuan Shu, they are called the Emperor's Seven Seals.
It was precisely because he got this jade seal that Yuan Shu believed that he was destined by destiny. He believed in prophecies very much. The witches and sorcerers under his command had been persuading him to become independent. Now Yuan Shu felt that the situation had become a success and finally made up his mind.
Today, he is the most powerful, not even inferior to Yuan Shao. As long as he proclaims himself emperor, the nobles and heroes from all over the world will come to help him become famous and conquer the world in one fell swoop!
The only fly in the ointment is that Yuan Yao really disappointed himself because he lost the battle before he proclaimed himself emperor.
Moreover, Zhang Xunqiao Rui is even more abominable. As a general, he is so unbearable that he cannot even defeat a city with a few thousand people!
Not to mention that Qiao Rui was captured, but for the fact that he was about to become emperor and needed to win people's hearts, he would have been severely punished!
Several subordinate officials suspected that Qiao Rui was captured twice, and there must be hidden secrets, and demanded a thorough investigation to serve as a warning to others. However, some believed that the matter should not be too strict, so as not to affect Yuan Shu's reputation.
Yuan Shu was thinking about how to deal with Qiao Rui when he heard the sound of footsteps. He turned around and saw that it was Feng who was here.
Feng was the daughter of Feng Fang, a minister in charge of the imperial court. She was spotted by Yuan Shu when she was on the run, and she was adopted as his concubine. Because of her natural beauty and beautiful appearance, she was extremely favored by Yuan Shu.
He was about twenty years old, with an attractive figure, delicate and slender facial features, white jade-like skin that seemed to radiate luster, bright lips, and eyes with pupils as black as jade. These three features were so distinct that Yuan Shu and others
The concubines and concubines in the harem are all dimmed by it.
Because of this, Mrs. Feng was extremely jealous of the other concubines, who all tried to trick her, including tricking her into pretending to be sad and teaching her some words that angered Yuan Shu. Ms. Feng did all of them, but only made her more miserable.
Yuan Shu loves him!
The other concubines were at a loss at first, but later they saw Yuan Shu's attitude towards Feng and realized that if you are beautiful, you can do whatever you want!
When Yuan Shu saw Feng coming, he felt much better. He waved to Feng and said, "Come here, beauty."
After hearing this, Ms. Feng lowered her head and walked to Yuan Shu and knelt down next to her. Yuan Shu saw that there was a worried look on his face and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, so he said, "Beauty, do you miss your hometown again?"
"Or is there someone in the harem who made the beauty unhappy?"
Mrs. Feng quickly replied: "I am living a good life, there is nothing else."
Yuan Shu thought to himself that Mrs. Feng really made it easy for people to find fault, and he couldn't help but said: "Beauty, please be patient. When I become emperor, I will make you my queen, and no one will dare to neglect you."
"I want to make Yuan Yao the crown prince. Although he is not your son, once you become the queen, he will recognize you as his mother. You will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."
Mrs. Feng was shocked when she heard this and quickly bowed to her: "I am so virtuous and capable. I dare to be the mother of a country. Please order me to establish someone else!"
When Yuan Shu saw it, he felt that Mrs. Feng was courteous and courteous. He laughed loudly and said, "How can the rest of the women, who are so busy, compare to a beautiful woman with both virtue and virtue?"
"You can just wait until then!"
Seeing Yuan Shu's insistence, Feng felt even more uneasy. Ever since she was accepted by Yuan Shu, she had always wanted to keep a low profile, but her appearance prevented her from keeping a low profile.
She saw that she was becoming more and more favored, contrary to her original intention, and now she was about to be named queen, which made her even more afraid.
The reason for this is that she was born in a family of Sili officials, and she had seen too many conflicts surrounding the Han Dynasty and the emperor, and the consequences of the empress being involved.
From Empress Dowager Dong to Empress He, the emperors who ascended the throne were not their biological sons, so they were killed.
Now that she is established as a queen, Yuan Yao, as the eldest son of Yuan Shu, is not her own biological child. If Yuan Shu dies in the future, how will Yuan Yao treat her?
Feng shuddered when she thought of how Yuan Yao's eyes flashed like a beast when Yuan Shu was not paying attention when they met several times.
Moreover, there was still an emperor in the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu dared to proclaim himself emperor. Feng was not very optimistic about it, but she would never speak out against Yuan Shu in order to avoid being killed.
Feng felt Yuan Shu's hand reaching out, and while she was silent, her eyes looked towards the sky outside the courtyard.
Liyang, hundreds of miles away from Shouchun, was temporarily stationed by Yuan Shu's generals Sun Ben and Wu Jing. Because they were related to Sun Ce and were quite suspicious, they were released to station in Moling to attack Qu'a.
Sun Ce prepared food and fodder.
There is a lot of food and grass required, which makes the local people's livelihood worse than before. The soldiers often don't have enough to eat, let alone the people. However, now the city is full of joy and laughter, because the news comes that Qu'a has been conquered!
The capture of Qu'a, the headquarters of Wu County, heralded the end of the two-year war, which ended with Liu Yao's complete defeat.
Liu Yao was seriously ill and was taken by his son Liu Ji to flee to Yuzhang. Some people speculated that he went to join Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
But no matter what, this great victory, especially for the officials and generals who relied on Sun Ce, Sun Ce finally gained his own territory. From then on, his strength increased greatly and he had a foundation to establish himself!
As for Yuan Shu, Sun Ce has long been unable to control him. If Yuan Shu sends people to appoint Yangzhou officials, not only will Sun Ce not agree, but Sun Ce's subordinates will not agree either!
Sun Ce's subordinates, such as Sun Ben, Wu Jing and others, were all excited at the thought of finally being able to feel proud and proud and follow Sun Ce to build a fortune.
In their opinion, following Sun Ce has a much better future than Yuan Shu!
Although Yuan Shu was powerful, he had too many talents under his command, and he tried his best to suppress Sun Ce's group, which had already chilled their hearts.
While Liyang was celebrating the whole journey, the mansions in the city were gloomy and gloomy.
Xiao Qiao held Da Qiao's hand with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister, my father has been arrested again, what should I do?"
Da Qiao was also slightly irritable, but he still suppressed his temper and said, "What can I do?"
"Just waiting."
Her voice was cold, as if she couldn't bear the smoke. After hearing this, Xiao Qiao wiped her tears and said, "Sister, aren't you afraid?"
"There are rumors that my father surrendered to the enemy. I heard that the emperor was very angry and wanted to punish his family."
"Sister, let's run?"
Da Qiao naturally heard these rumors and said calmly: "If we really want to hold him accountable, we will be searched and hunted throughout the city, and we won't be able to escape."
Xiao Qiao said pitifully: "Are you just waiting to die like this?"
Da Qiao sighed softly, "It's not impossible."
"My father has a good relationship with Sun Bofu. If I go to ask him when the time comes, maybe for my father's sake, he will help us."
After hearing this, Xiao Qiao suddenly became more energetic, "Will Sun Boxu really offend the envoy because of us?"
After hearing this, Da Qiao felt helpless, "In the worst case, I'll become my concubine. In exchange for you and me, I'll be safe."
After hearing this, Xiao Qiao shook her head like a rattle, "How can my sister bear to do this?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up, "How about I ask Zhou Gongjin to be his concubine, maybe he can save us, so my sister doesn't need to take action!"
Da Qiao had no choice but to hit Xiao Qiao on the head, "You are still young, what are you thinking about all day long?"
After hearing this, Xiao Qiao unconsciously looked down at her chest and whispered softly: "She's not young anymore, at least she's much older than my sister."
When Da Qiao heard this, his cold expression almost broke his guard.
Xiao Qiao was two years younger than him. Although he was much shorter than Da Qiao, everything he ate was gathered somewhere, leaving Da Qiao extremely speechless.
Da Qiao pushed Xiao Qiao onto his lap and, regardless of the other person's pleas for mercy, he rubbed the other person's head with his fists and let out a bad breath, but he was still worried.
Sun Boxu and Zhou Gongjin may not fall out because of their father and Yuan Shu. It is actually better to rely on others than to rely on themselves. When the time comes, my sisters may really have to find a way to escape on their own.
A few dozen miles east of Liyang is the riverside ferry. How about buying a servant and preparing a boat?
But where can you escape?
For the first time, Da Qiao hated her own daughter for being a man. If she were a man, she would have gone out to do these things long ago!
But now she had to find a way out. She asked Xiao Qiao to go back and rest while she began to take care of the belongings at home.
