Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Wang Yu could clearly see everyone's thoughts.
The princes are all worried that they will target them, but why are they willing to fight with them?
According to the intelligence sent back from Yuzhou, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu's Yuzhou strategy was far from going as smoothly as expected. Before the road to Runan County was opened, Sun Jian almost attacked one city after another.
When they arrived in Runan County, the latent forces of the Yuan Clan began to respond. Only then did the counties in various places waver under the dual pressure of massacres and internal instability, and some surrendered without a fight.
Sun Jian had most of Jingzhou's supply behind him, and he could also burn, kill and loot the local area to strengthen his troops and obtain supplies. As a result, the war continued.
If it were him, even if he had a rightful name, he would not encounter so many obstacles when marching. But the war would not end in a year and a half. Where would the supplies come from?
Therefore, whether it is to occupy Luoyang, or to attack a certain prince, and compete with the other party for territory, it is not a good idea. It will only get stuck in the quagmire, or even be attacked by a group.
In fact, even Dong Zhuo was far from truly at the end of his rope. As he said himself, he still had tens of thousands of elites in Guanxi. If he wanted to, it would not be a problem to raise a hundred thousand troops in Yongliang.
If I want to capture all of Dong Zhuo, I actually have only one chance. That is to ignore the possible changes on the back road as soon as the Battle of Yangren is over, divide my troops into two groups, attack Hangu Pass all the way, go north all the way, and send a message at the same time.
In Hedong, let Yang Feng and others block the river and capture Dong Zhuo with lightning speed.
If he misses this opportunity, Dong Zhuo has many ways to deal with it, such as deploying troops from the pass, taking some risks, and transferring Li Jue, Dong Yue and others to the pass to help the battle.
After all, what Dong Zhuo fears most is just that he will continue to chase him and fight him relentlessly.
The princes do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, so they would not have thought of this. The reason why they are still so afraid is because of their past reputation and deeds, they cannot guess themselves, and the unknown creates fear.
No one wants to be targeted by him and stalked like he did against Dong Zhuo. This is his biggest asset in intimidating others.
"Zhong Shijun, you are here this time, but your Majesty has an edict to issue?"
"Your Majesty does have a will..."
Zhong Yao nodded, his face a little heavy. What he brought was not so much the emperor's will as Dong Zhuo's conditions for peace. Before coming, the emperor told him earnestly, hoping that he would act according to the opportunity and rescue him. However,
, Li Ru put on a jade-shattering posture, how could he dare to take this risk?
He sighed and said: "General Wang, gentlemen, let's set up a case and receive the order..."
There was no joy in his tone. Since there was nothing he could do about the Xiliang people taking the emperor as a hostage, what was the purpose of fighting for so long and causing chaos around Luoyang? Let Dong Zhuo stay in Luoyang and watch.
Wouldn't it be better to defeat yourself?
Dong Zhuo was able to be arrogant for a while with the help of the Xiliang army, but he was an idiot in terms of political strategy. How could Li Ru alone be able to save the day?
From the first month of the first year of Chuping to now, all of this seems to be just to achieve the fame of the young man in front of me, and then to show off his merits with high officials... One general's achievements can lead to thousands of bones. The ancients are honest and don't deceive me.
The etiquette of the Han Dynasty's decree was not very complicated. At this juncture, neither Zhong Yao nor the princes had any intention to engage in complicated rituals. The incense table was quickly prepared, and everyone stood in silence to listen to the imperial decree.
Wang Yu was not surprised. Kneeling often became popular after the Pseudo-Yuan Dynasty. People in the Han Dynasty did not pay attention to this. To show respect, you only need to bow. The more respectful you are, the wider the bow will be.
The ground is the most respectful expression.
Those who kneel are usually criminals.
"In July of the first year of Chuping, the emperor made a policy..." The format of the imperial edict is different from the most popular emperor's imperial edict in later generations. It is a very simple time, person, event, and then a narrative
The writing of merit is finally the reward that everyone pays attention to.
"...Now Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, who is loyal, diligent, and courageous in his duties, has been moved to the post of Taishan County Governor!"
"...Kuang Youziyu, who is loyal to the whole day and brave in the autumn, is appointed as the governor of Qingzhou!"
Mount Tai, Qingzhou?
After getting the long-awaited answer, everyone had different expressions.
Kuai Yue, Yan Xiang, Dong Zhao and others all breathed a sigh of relief; Yang Feng's face was full of disappointment; Chen Gong's eyes showed a hint of excitement; Xun Yu and Bao Hong were nervous
He frowned tightly.
Those with the most complicated expressions were Cheng Yu and Chen Gui; those with the most calm expressions were Tian Feng and Ju Sue; and the most indifferent was Zhang Liao.
In fact, this answer was expected by many people. Long before Wang Yu moved to Nanyang, he sent his father Wang Kuang and Cai Yong back to his hometown. A powerful man with no family background like Wang Yu returned to a place with roots to develop his power.
This is also a very normal strategy.
And Wang Yu is a person who is unwilling to be lonely. Even if he returns to Mount Tai, he will not stay still. After establishing a solid foundation, he will most likely expand outwards.
Taishan County is located at the intersection of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou. If he wants to expand, he can only choose one of these three directions.
Among them, Yanzhou is the strongest and has complex power distribution, making it the most difficult to capture; Xuzhou is the richest, densely populated, and quite united internally. In addition, Wang Yu and Tao Qian have a good relationship, so the possibility of conquering Xuzhou is not high.
.
Qingzhou was originally a good place, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion here was extremely large-scale and lasted the longest. It has not yet been resolved, and it is becoming more and more intense.
At the alliance meeting at the beginning of the year, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, was also one of the responders, and he was a very active one. Regardless of the long distance, he led a large force of tens of thousands of people to leave Linzi, the seat of the government, intending to go to Suanzao Qinwang.
As a result, before he left the border of Qi State, he ran into the Yellow Turban Army and was beaten back directly. He became the first among the princes of King Qin to give up halfway.
From this incident, we can certainly see Jiao He's incompetence, but at the same time, we can also see how bad the situation in Qingzhou is. Moths and thieves are everywhere, and even the main force in the state led by the governor dares to intercept and kill, which is obvious.
How arrogant are these thieves?
There are still many problems in Qingzhou, and no one has time to list them all, but one thing is undoubtedly: there are also many benefits to choosing Qingzhou, but no matter how great the benefits are, they cannot outweigh the various disadvantages of Qingzhou. Avoiding the strong and tending to the weak is a very big problem.
It was a normal choice, but when it came to Wang Yu, it seemed abnormal.
The houses closer to Mount Tai were all murmuring in their hearts, suspecting that Wang Yu was building the plank road openly and secretly plotting against Chen Cang.
The most important person is Bao Xin's younger brother Bao Hong. The Bao family is also rooted in Mount Tai. Bao Xin's jurisdiction, Jibei Kingdom, is also a close neighbor of Mount Tai. It is on the most direct route from Mount Tai to Dongjun.
Chen Gui, who came from Xuzhou, also had a headache. Tao Shijun was too kind, and it was easy for others to take advantage of him. Maybe Wang Yu had Xuzhou's idea. At the moment, who in the world doesn't know how rich Xuzhou is? With Wang Yu
Yu Wuli had a bad temper and said that he would abandon the wealthy Xuzhou and take the dilapidated Qingzhou. Who would believe it?
Regardless of whether other people believed it or not, or what they thought, Wang Yu accepted the order with a solemn expression. Under the witness of many celebrities, he rose from a humble servant to one of the local officials of the Han Dynasty.
It was not until this moment that the celebrities discovered that Wang Yu had such a motive for this alliance. With so many people witnessing it, his reputation for righteousness was confirmed.
As for Jiao Cishi, after so many years of torture, Jiao He probably doesn't have much nostalgia for Qingzhou anymore. As long as the imperial court wants him to be promoted, he will definitely leave everything and run to the capital. Of course, the premise is that he can be safe from the government.
run out.
Putting away the imperial edict and handing it to Wang Yu, Zhong Yao said in a deep voice: "General Wang, Your Majesty still has an oral message!"
"I obey the decree." Wang Yu was slightly startled. This was not one of the conditions agreed upon.
Zhong Yao was not in a hurry to pronounce his words, but said to Wang Yu solemnly: "Your Majesty has high expectations for you. I hope you can make persistent efforts to rejuvenate the great Han Dynasty as your ambition!"
"Here."
When they began to hear the oral instructions, everyone did not take it as a big deal. It can be seen that no one could calm down when Zhong Yao put on such a posture. Zhong Yao was a close minister around the emperor and represented the emperor's will to a certain extent. He would not
There is no reason to pretend to be mysterious, and it is said so solemnly. This oral edict or secret decree must be of great importance!
What will it be?
"In the past, there was a hussar general who was cured of his illness and given a wolf title as a vassal. His achievements were great in China, his bravery was invincible, and he was invincible. Emperor Wu took the idea of 'bravely crowning the three armies' and specifically designated this position for the princes... Now the world is in war, and the smoke of war is everywhere.
It is the autumn of life and death. At this time, heroes appear. I think it is because the ancestors of the Han Dynasty could not bear to see their descendants incompetent and secretly protected them! Since my ancestors showed me, why should I be generous with rewards?
"
Zhong Yao's voice was passionate and resonant, just like Huang Zhong Da Lu, shocking people's hearts, shaking the hearts of everyone present and making them unable to control themselves.
What is the emperor going to do? To be granted the title of Marquis? And also to have the honor of being the Champion Marquis?
Due to Huo Qubing's great achievements and Emperor Wu's unusual love for him, like a nephew, this title was born. After that, looking through the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, only the Han Dynasty's Zhongxing era was
The brave general Jia Fu, during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, once attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and his relative Dou Xian was able to enjoy this honor.
Now, is the fourth champion of the Han Dynasty about to be born? Everyone finally understood why Zhong Yao was so solemn before announcing the decree. Even today when the majesty of the Han Dynasty is no longer majestic, this is a very important event!
You know, Wang Yu's age is even much younger than Huo Qiaoqi, who became famous at a young age, only sixteen years old!
Everyone's surprise and astonishment could not stop the emperor's determination.
Liu Che, who was later known as Emperor Xian, did not give up the throne willingly and honestly. He was not a man without courage, otherwise he would not have put Emperor Ling in a dilemma. He had always planned to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, which aroused
There was a conflict between the general and the eunuch.
"... bestow the title of champion marquis, who will be replaced for generations, and grant the title of hussar general. With the majesty of the emperor, he will conquer the disloyal subjects at home and abroad!"
From the moment Zhong Yao announced the decree, the hearts of everyone present were undergoing a huge test. At the last moment, the pressure reached the extreme!
Titles, official positions, general titles, these are already unbearable burdens, and the last conquest on behalf of heaven is simply unbelievable!
In the name of righteousness?
No, no need! With this title, Wang Yu can hit whoever he wants, and the person he hits will have to bear a bad reputation after being hit. He is not a subordinate in the country!
The emperor said that the official positions can be removed, but the honor tied to the title cannot be removed. In front of this title, Qingzhou Governor and Taishan County Sheriff are not worth mentioning at all!
Not to mention others, Wang Yu himself was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
Just for this title, just for this title...it's worth it! After fighting for such a long time, even if there is nothing else, it's worth it! The reputation of righteousness will no longer be able to hold back my elbows in the future. (Unfinished)
