The news surprised the trick, but not surprisingly.
It has been 13 years since the emperor was founded in the first year of Jian''an. Just at the beginning of the year, when the emperor had just taken office, there was even a voice in the court asking Liu Biao to return to the emperor.
Liu Biao naturally stated that after consulting with the court secretary, he would welcome the emperor back to Xiangyang and return the government to the emperor. The person who turned around and put forward this proposal did not know which corner he was demoted to.
In the 13th year of his accession to the throne, apart from staying in Xiangyang at the beginning, the son of heaven was later sent to Hanshou by Liu Biao for safety. So far, he has never been out of the palace built for him by Liu Biao.
For more than ten years, the imperial court has been separated from the emperor. We can imagine how weak the emperor''s sense of existence is.
At first, some people will mention the emperor. After a long time, they are used to the imperial court without the emperor. Anyway, Liu Biao is in power and can do everything on his behalf.
Although the emperor''s health is not very good, nor will he be weak and ill, his sudden death has caused some public opinion pressure.
It''s circulating in the streets. Liu Biao has been prime minister for several years and is going to usurp the throne.
It seems so, otherwise why did the emperor suddenly die as soon as he became an adult?
However, for Xiangyang people, Liu Biao is eager to be emperor.
They don''t have any sense of belonging to the current emperor. The prime minister and his son brought them today''s life.
By the way, the post of prime minister was established after Yuan Shao''s death to show the merit of Liu Biao.
In addition to very few others, everyone also acquiesced that sooner or later, the world will fall into the hands of Liu Jingsheng and his son.
If Liu Xie had not died, perhaps many people would have been loyal to the Han Dynasty. However, because Liu Xie suddenly died, three Liu emperors came out at once and directly stepped on the face of the big man to the soles of his feet.
From that moment on, the great man perished. Today''s big man is not the big man he used to be.
When the emperor is an adult, he always has ideas and wants to seize power. Maybe Liu Biao doesn''t think so, but there are more people trying to figure out the thoughts of his boss.
Therefore, the newly grown emperor "died of illness".
It doesn''t matter whether it was Liu Biao''s instigation or not. Maybe everyone has recognized it at the moment.
……
After receiving the news, he read the secret letter written to him by Liu Biao, and immediately convened a group of civil and military affairs to discuss the matter.
Including Liu Bei and Yuan Tan.
"Perhaps you already know that the son of heaven has died," the trick looked calm and ignored the changes below. "From now on, the whole army is filial to the son of heaven."
"Please obey the order of Jun." The generals responded.
"The prime minister sent a letter asking me to lead the army back to escort the new emperor to the throne."
Looking around at the generals, many people''s thoughts emerged. There are disappointment, doubt, joy, and so on.
Because this shows that Liu Biao does not mean to replace it.
"General, I don''t know who will inherit the unification?" Someone couldn''t help asking.
"When the emperor dies, naturally the prince will ascend the throne. What''s the point?" Said the trick.
"When was there a prince?" Many people don''t know why.
The emperor doesn''t have a strong sense of existence, not to mention the prince, who has to explain his tricks.
Although the emperor did not establish a crown prince, it is an indisputable fact that he had a son. However, the emperor was young and his son was only a few days old. The imperial concubine died during childbirth, and the child was extremely weak. If Liu Biao hadn''t sent someone to tell him, even he didn''t know, let alone these people who have been fighting outside.
"Oh!" Everyone knows that he is another puppet.
"The prime minister has agreed with the princes that the emperor will ascend the throne in two months. Before that, the prime minister was Regent. "
"Although the prime minister ordered ben to return to the army, Ben didn''t want to return immediately." The trick continued, but the meaning surprised everyone.
Is it that the prime minister and his son, who have always cooperated closely with each other, are about to turn over?
Is the general dissatisfied with the prime minister''s embrace of a baby?
Or does the general want to seize power by force?
……
Countless thoughts swirled in people''s minds.
"There are still two months before the emperor ascends the throne. Now when he returns to his teacher, the puppet Han in Yecheng will have a chance to breathe. This situation would not have been wanted to see."
"Therefore, Ben will send a letter to the prime minister requesting a postponement of returning to the division. Ben will take Yecheng and destroy the puppet Han Dynasty to celebrate the new emperor''s accession to the throne."
I see. I thought
Many people sighed with regret and gave up their original unrealistic ideas.
If we don''t stop, we should consider how many families in the city the general can enjoy when he is the son of heaven.
"You may not have seen Yecheng, but just think of it as a strong city like Luoyang."
"Since the beginning of the year, yuan has operated Yecheng for more than ten years. There are enough soldiers and materials in the city. It is very difficult to win it in two months, and the loss will not be small."
"But this is your task. Even if the loss is great, you must win Yecheng within two months. If you dare not try your best, don''t blame general Ben for his ruthlessness. " Odd trick cold channel.
"I will obey." Then the people came back to God, and the matter fell on themselves.
However, under Lien Chan''s winning streak, they had no fear of winning Yecheng.
The whole world is almost swept up. How can ye city stop it?
……
At the command of the trick, more than one million troops immediately took action and completed the siege of Yecheng a few days later.
In Yecheng, there are less than 200000 veterans. These people have been defeated in a row, and their morale has dispersed. Most of them can''t even be called elite soldiers. Once the war is unfavorable, they are easy to run away.
There are also 300000 new recruits trained by quyi. Because ten days is too short, quyi can''t guarantee whether he can go to the battlefield.
But in the face of the siege, they had to pull these non soldiers to the city to help defend.
In three days, the moat of Yecheng was filled up, and then the siege began.
He once thought of learning from Cao Cao in history to dig Zhang and flood Yecheng, but he finally gave up. It would do too much harm to the people.
The strength in his hands far exceeds that of Cao Cao in history. If he can capture Yecheng, he will not take this method.
The duel between the scribes is a new trick. People know that he used to crush the enemy with his superior strength, but Yecheng still has Tianfeng, juxu, matchmaking, Fengji, Dong Zhao, Bingyuan, Guoyuan and other magical places. The strength is not weak. It is equal for a time, which makes the siege full of variables.
If Xu you, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and Xin PI had not surrendered with Yuan Tan, their strength would have been stronger.
But after all, Yecheng was powerless. In order to suppress Yecheng, he tried to drag Zhong Yao and others who could be mobilized to Yecheng and put on a look of never giving up.
Half a month later, the literati group in Yecheng was finally overwhelmed and completely suppressed.
The siege equipment immediately became famous. The new thunderbolt car, well railing and ladder were all used in the battle of Yecheng.
In just seven or eight days, the city wall of Yecheng was bombed and dilapidated, and soldiers had boarded the city wall several times.
……
"General, there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry going south in Youzhou. If there is no obstruction, they can arrive in a few days." A month later, seeing that Yecheng was about to be broken, the scouts came to the news.
"Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao lead the cavalry to go. There is no need for a face-to-face confrontation. They mainly lag the enemy." The trick is to send troops immediately.
"Chen Dao, give you 200000 people to defend Handan. If Zhang Xiu can''t stop the cavalry from going south, you must not let them break through the line of defense."
"If I break Yecheng first, I will continue to send troops to support you and recover Jizhou."
"The generals listen to the order and don''t make any excuses. The literati suppress it. Those with magical skills and martial arts personally lead the army to climb first and break Yecheng within three days."
