The consequences of Liu Xie''s sudden death finally appeared. Four emperors appeared all at once, leaving the people at a loss what to do and who to recognize.


    However, for higher-level scholars and aristocratic families, the big man is still the big man, and the extra princes are just puppets. Which one to follow depends on which vassal is stronger and has more opportunities to seize the world.


    In fact, it is mainly between Yecheng and Jingzhou.


    The Xiliang army killed the emperor and re established his young son, but the important officials of the imperial court almost died. Who knows if it is true? Is there this person? Is it Liu Xie''s own son?


    After all, Liu Xie was only 15 when he died.


    As for Yuan Shu, he was directly ignored by those people.


    The great man is not at the end of his tether. There are so many clans in charge of local power. Do you dare to be the emperor? Is it not fast enough to die idle?


    ……


    Yanzhou, Changyi.


    Cao Cao looked at the successive messages of the new emperor and smiled bitterly.


    Naturally, he could see the advantages of holding the son of heaven, but he also wanted to learn and establish a son of heaven, but unfortunately, his strength was low, and he didn''t dare to do so at all.


    And if you miss this, you won''t have a chance again. If you don''t support the new emperor in the chaos army now, you can''t wait a few years. At that time, the three new emperors have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. How can people be convinced?


    Cao Cao was very happy that he came to Yanzhou from the East County and owned a county. In order to keep Yanzhou, he took the lead in fighting on the front line, which defeated millions of yellow scarves and formed the Qingzhou army.


    But he didn''t expect that the Yanzhou aristocratic family was so powerful that even if he saved Yanzhou, he was not paid attention to by the aristocratic family because of his birth. Therefore, in order to consolidate his rule, Cao Cao killed a group of people, including the famous scholar Bian rang.


    But unexpectedly, it was like stabbing a hornet''s nest. Even Chen Gong, his most valued counselor, and his good friend Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao were estranged. Taking advantage of Cao Cao''s eastward expedition to Xuzhou, he united to welcome Lv Bu into Yanzhou, almost overturning his foundation.


    He fought hard for two years and survived several times. During this period, he almost fell down and took refuge in Yuan Shao. Fortunately, with the support of Yuan Shao, he survived and drove Lv Bu out of Yanzhou. Not long ago, he broke through yongqiu and killed Zhang Miao''s brother Yi three families to vent his hatred.


    But at this time, Zang Hong appointed by Yuan Shao was the prefect of Dongjun, and Cao Cao could not command at all. After the war, it was the most difficult time for Cao Cao. If he wanted to restore his strength, he had to wait at least half a year.


    Lack of strength, even if Cao Cao wants to support the emperor, he must worry about being killed. Because once the emperor was established, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao officially became enemies and never die.


    Cao Cao, however, did not have the ability to face a double attack, and even one of them might not be able to win.


    Therefore, Cao Cao can only reluctantly give up this excellent opportunity.


    ……


    Jingzhou people don''t worry about the coexistence of several heavenly sons. They just need to respect the heavenly son of Xiangyang.


    Liu Guang, the new emperor supported by Liu Biao, is said to be the descendant of Liu Ying, the son of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu. Liu Ying, the king of Chu, was expelled from the state and demoted to the rank of marquis because of his involvement in the conspiracy case. After so many years, he has long declined.


    Liu Guang, chosen by Liu Biao, is less than three years old this year. He has lost his father. He has only a mother from a peasant family, and there is no family. He is very easy to control.


    The emperor was too young to be in charge of politics. Liu Biao was "forced" to act as regent on the recommendation of the ministers, leading the Taiwei, recording books, and riding general.


    Then some celebrities were recruited from Jingzhou celebrities, such as Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui. They were also named Jiuqing, ranking 2000 stone, barely making up for the three gongs and Jiuqing, so as to improve the imperial court.


    Anyway, it doesn''t matter whether you come to the court or not. Stop and say that you have the following orders, Cheng, Chang Shi and others to do things.


    The people under Liu Biao''s command are also rising, and there are many people who seal Hou.


    For example, Cai Mao is in charge of Jinwu, concurrently the governor of Xiangyang, Huang Zujia is general Zuo, Kuai Liang is guangluxun, Kuai Yue is Tingwei, and Liu Xian is the chief historian of Taiwei''s mansion.


    The trick was to inherit Liu Biao''s previous official position, lead Jingzhou animal husbandry with Zhennan general, grant the right to start the government, and supervise the military affairs of Jingzhou and Yangzhou.


    It can be said that Liu Biao only retained the apparent power and let go of the actual power to tricks.


    Because Liu Biao now only owns Jingzhou and half of Yangzhou.


    At the same time, after serving as the Regent of the Taiwei, Liu Biao moved the emperor Liu Guang and his mother to Hanshou in Wuling to build a huge palace for them.


    Then, there was no then. The mother and son had no contact with outsiders except palace people.


    Not that no one has an opinion, but Liu Biao''s reasons are very sufficient. Next, he will attack Runan, not far from Xiangyang, and place the emperor in Wuling for the sake of the emperor''s safety.


    Liu Biao is right. The trick is going to start on Runan.


    After the promotion of Qiji, the civil and military forces under his command also rose. As the No. 1 general under Qiji, Huang Zhong became the Sima of Zhennan general''s house, worshipped general Pian, Xun you was a long history and worshipped the general of military division. Other meritorious generals also worship general Pian and general PI.


    There is no miscellaneous general. That''s for Xugong after the attack on Runan.


    ……


    In February of the first year of Jian''an, Liu Biao issued an edict in the name of the son of heaven to the surrounding areas, ordering Yuan Shu to go to the puppet emperor''s name and come to Xiangyang to plead guilty; He ordered the generals of the Chinese and Western Liang armies to go to the puppet emperor''s name and bring the puppet emperor to Xiangyang to apologize; He ordered Liu Yao, governor of Yangzhou, Wu Jing, governor of Danyang, Zhu Fu, governor of Jiaozhou, Liu Zhang, governor of Yizhou, Zhang Lu, governor of Hanzhong, Lu Bu, governor of Xuzhou, Liu Bei, general of Zhendong, and Cao Cao, governor of Yanzhou, to attach themselves to Xiangyang and send envoys to recruit them as officials.


    Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng and Han Sui in remote areas were directly ignored, while Yuan Shao in Jizhou was not mentioned.


    Accordingly, Yuan Shao did the same thing and did not mention Xiangyang. The two sides tacitly avoided it.


    After all, one side is powerful, and the identity of one Han clan is more convenient for people to accept its support for the son of heaven.


    These people around can only choose between the two or stand on their own.


    Naturally, the above decree will not be recognized, but it is the reason for foreign war.


    There are 50000 troops in the three counties of Nanyang, and a strange plan to bring another 50000 to the north. After leading the animal husbandry in Jingzhou, the 100000 troops in Xiangyang, including the 50000 troops in Jiangxia, are also under its command, with a force of 250000.


    Of the 250000 people, 30000 are sailors. Including 20000 in Xiangyang and 10000 in Jiangxia.


    In Jingnan, Qiji didn''t specially train the Navy. Starting from Jingnan to attack the east of the river, there was no natural danger of the Yangtze River. Although there were still many water systems, it was also much simpler.


    So he planned to transfer 50000 people under his command, 30000 people from Xiangyang and 10000 people from Jiangxia, a total of 90000 troops, and attacked Runan on the grounds that Yuan Shu did not respect the imperial court''s order.


    This is what he has always wanted.
