Chapter 22: Liu Bei ascends the throne, Sun Quan seeks an alliance, and Wei Chang is domineering

The twenty-fifth year of Jian'an was truly an eventful year.

First, King Cao Cao of Wei died of illness in Luoyang. Later, his son Cao Pi abolished the Han Dynasty and established his own country. The country was named Wei. The Han Dynasty, which had been glorious for four hundred years, was officially destroyed.

This year, many famous people died among the Three Kingdoms, including the general Xiahou Dun of Wei, the famous counselor Cheng Yu, the veteran of the three dynasties of Wu, general Jiang Qin, and the counselor Fa Zheng of the Shu Han Dynasty.

This group of elites died together, leaving this wonderful era and the monarch to whom they had devoted their lives.

In fact, only Guan Suo knew that if he had not saved Jingzhou, his father Guan Yu, his third uncle Zhang Fei, and the veteran Huang Zhong would all have died one after another.

After the defeat in the Battle of Yiling, general Ma Chao had no hope for the future and hated the opportunity to revenge against the Cao family, so he vomited blood and died.

Next, we can only rely on Zhuge Liang and the remaining Shu generals Zhao Yun and others to hold up the banner of supporting the Han Dynasty until they fail and their whole life's hard work is wasted.

Fortunately, Guan Suo prevented all this from happening through his own efforts and preserved the vitality of Shu Han.

The Han Dynasty is gone, so how can we help them?

The news of Emperor Xian's Zen throne reached Chengdu. Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, cried and offered sacrifices in the Han Temple. The ministers came forward to persuade him to come forward. Liu Bei ascended the throne of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the south of Wudan Mountain in Chengdu and declared that he would inherit the "Second Emperor Wu" (heir to the Han Dynasty as a descendant of the Han Dynasty).

Ancestor Gao Emperor Liu Bang, Han Dynasty ancestor Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu).

Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty made Liu Chan the crown prince, Zhuge Liang the prime minister, Xu Jing the apprentice, Guan Yu the pastor of Jingzhou, Wei Yan the prefect of Hanzhong, and Zhang Fei the general of chariots and cavalry. The rest of the civil and military officials were granted various rewards.

Guan Yu held a prominent position and defended the important territory of the Han Dynasty. He could not leave Jingzhou for a moment, so he ordered his son Guan Suo to go to Chengdu to pay homage to the emperor on behalf of his father.

Wei Yan, like Guan Yu, was guarding the front line and could not leave without permission, so he sent his son Wei Chang to pay homage to the new king.

The three pillars have been standing together for many years, and now both of Sun Quan's enemies have established their own countries. Cao Pi's statement is that my throne was abdicated by the Liu family emperor, which is legal and reasonable. Liu Bei's statement is that I am a descendant of the Han Emperor, and I am the true orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

As for Sun Quan, neither of these two reasons could apply to him. He could only choose one side.

Cao Pi did three things as soon as he came to the throne. The first was to send troops to capture Sun Quan's Jiangxia and Lujiang counties. The second was to take for himself all the beauties that his father left in Tongquetai before his body was cold.

Yes, and the third is to force his younger brother Cao Zhi to write a seven-step poem.

The latter two things have nothing to do with Sun Quan.

The previous incident made Sun Quan wish he could eat him alive with soy sauce. Sun Quan placed a portrait of Cao Pi in front of his bedroom every night and shot him with arrows.

In front of others, Sun Quan always presented an image of a graceful and noble monarch with extraordinary bearing. When he was angry, he could only express his anger when no one was around.

The loss of two large counties that had resulted in countless soldiers being killed and wounded and spending countless money on food and military equipment was, in Sun Quan's opinion, more painful than cutting out his heart with a knife.

The generals of the Cao family, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others, were very particular about keeping all the Soochow prisoners who had no problem, and returning the old, weak, sick and disabled prisoners with the word "Wu Dog" carved on their faces.

Under the current situation, there was no chance of surrendering to Cao Pi. The civil and military forces of Jiangdong agreed that it would be better to re-alliance with Shu.

Sun Quan was afraid that Liu Bei would blame him, so he sent Zhuge Jin, the brother of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, as an envoy to Chengdu to meet the Han emperor, and asked for permission to renew the alliance on the condition of becoming a vassal to the Han emperor.

People from all walks of life gathered on the official road in Chengdu.

Guan Suo took his beloved little wife back to Chengdu. In ancient times, there were no planes or trains, and riding a carriage was too slow. But with a beautiful woman by his side, he felt extremely happy every minute and every second.

Holding the beauty's little hand, she told her about the past of her father and brothers starting their own business, but the beauty whispered: "They are not as good as my husband!"

Guan Suo smiled and said: "Wan Jun, you can't say this nonsense. Chengdu is no better than Jingzhou. All the people here are big guys, especially these five tiger generals. They all have more qualifications than me!"

Miss Qin, whose name is Luofu and whose courtesy name is Wanjun.

Miss Qin was so happy that she said, "But people think that my husband is the most powerful! He defeated Lu Meng's conspiracy and destroyed 50,000 Dongwu soldiers..."

"This is just one of my achievements, and you keep bragging about it. Alas... you girl..."

Guan Suo felt very sweet inside.

Although even he himself does not dare to compete with those five tiger generals whom he has admired for two lifetimes, his wife still wants to think that her husband is the best!

How wonderful it feels to be worshiped by a beautiful woman.

Enjoying a happy time together with his gentle and lovely wife, Miss Qin's body fragrance smelled particularly good. He bit her ear and whispered softly: "Wanjun, I didn't have enough fun last night, and I still want you now..."

"

"I hate it..." Miss Qin clenched her little fist and hit him, and said in a low voice: "In front of everyone and behind everyone, he looks calm and calm, but right in front of me, he always says these crazy things..."

"Such a small voice, no one but us can hear it..."

"That's a special occasion. We're not at home..." Miss Qin's pretty face turned as red as an apple.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you and I won't say anything anymore." Guan Suo hugged her instead this time.

"I'm so embarrassed..." Miss Qin laughed softly on the carriage: "Husband, let the coachman hear the noise, do you want me to be a human being... I am a girl... I have to be ashamed..."

"This, let me correct you. I used to be a girl, but now I am a woman..."

"I hate...beating you..."

While they were having fun flirting, the two of them suddenly heard a loud shout, like a thunder explosion!

"Go away! Someone gets through first!"

Guan Suoqi said, in Chengdu, under the emperor's feet, everyone else is quiet, why do some people dare to be so arrogant and make such a loud noise?

He opened the curtains and saw that countless vehicles in front of him were moving in an orderly manner without trying to get in the way. Even those carrying the Zhao-character flag, Zhang-character flag, yellow-character flag, and horse-character flag were no exception!

Only the one with the flag with the word "Wei" in his carriage galloped, stirring up smoke and dust, and blamed others for trying to get out of his way.

The person being scolded was a weak scholar, and his guards said angrily: "Who are you to dare to be so tyrannical? My Lord Wang came here first, why should I give up Tao to you?"

This gentleman's name was Wang Lian. He was the prefect of Shu County at that time and was in charge of salt and iron taxes.

Salt and iron are a specialty in any dynasty. If he is qualified to manage these two items, then this Lord Wang must have a lot of background!

Even those who carried the flag of generals did not argue with Lord Wang.

However, the young general holding the flag with the word "Wei" scolded him arrogantly: "Who do you think you are? If my father doesn't have to guard the border for the emperor, how can you bitches be able to securely serve as officials in the rear?"

After he said this and raised the Wei flag, not only Wang Lian but also Guan Suo and others behind him guessed this person's identity.

This man must be the son of Wei Yan!

Guan Suo thought, history books say that Wei Yan's military ability was particularly strong, but his character was extremely aloof and arrogant, even worse than Guan Yu!

My father Guan Yu also despised those nobles who could only talk but were incompetent, but he cherished the soldiers very much, and he also respected the truly capable people like Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong.

But this general Wei Yan, apart from Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, there are few people in the world who he can look up to. Officials of Yang Yi's level are bullied by him, just like bullying dogs.

Guan Suo has no chance to learn how arrogant Wei Yan is now.

But what goes up and what follows follows, like father, like son. Just look at his son's attitude towards Mr. Wang, and you can see that.

Even though I don’t know the identity of Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang’s carriage is of the highest level, and even he can’t get into the eyes of the Wei family’s young master. How can he actually like him?
