Chapter 1159

In fact, the original intention of Huangfu Chaobo was to use the present Tang government as the royal residence. At the beginning, many ministers of culture and military agreed to his proposal. However, with the little emperor's announcement, eight princes and kings suddenly appeared in the world. As the way of eight kings, the king of Tang could not be inferior to the other seven kings in momentum, so they immediately overthrew the previous an Dynasty Pai, decided to reopen the Luoyang palace, the imperial court will be a large-scale whole, as the palace of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the already arranged ceremony had to be postponed again. In their words, the ceremony could only be held in a palace that was in line with the identity of the king. Otherwise, the king would become a laughing stock among all the princes and kings, which was the shame of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

In desperation, Huangfu Chaobo had to agree to renovate the original Luoyang imperial city and palace city. After everything was ready, he could ascend the throne.

As in the Tang Dynasty, most of the other seven countries now focus on the preparation for the king's accession. Almost all of them have no need to consider other aspects. Since they want to become the king, the necessary preparation is certain, at least the palace. Therefore, there is almost no big war in the whole world this year. Of course, there are some small forces and players It is certain that the war of the earth is inevitable.

On the 5th of June this year, general Xiaoqiang left behind Chen Wu, Xue Hong and Miao Shang. He personally led tens of thousands of troops after half a year's reorganization. In addition to the ten thousand reinforcements of Yanbei County, the Tang army, he was converted into a military division by Yu. The generals were xianyuyin, xianyufu, Tatton, Nanlou, Loufan and Su Puyan Liaodong belongs to the state and crusades against Gongsun Du.

After conquering Fuli city and Beiwu city of Liaodong County, the army met Gongsun Du's army more than 100 Li to the west of Xiandu. After a big battle, Gongsun Du was defeated and fled back to Xiandu. Later, before the siege, the army withdrew from Xiandu and retreated to Liaodu city on the East Bank of liaoshui river At that time, he sent troops to strengthen the defense of Liaoyang and Wangping. Now gongsundu can only rely on the natural danger of liaoshui and Sushui rivers to maintain a limited number of cities, which is more than twice as small as the original site.

In the middle of August, the army captured the whole territory of Liaodong. Then Xiaoqiang appointed Xianyu Yin to guard Xiandu and Su Puyan to guard Fangxian. He led the army back to Changli city. A few days later, Gongsun praised the imperial court and recommended general Xiaoqiang as the Prime Minister of Liaodong. He had jurisdiction over Changli, Fuli, bintu, tuhe, Fangxian, Xiandu, Wuwu, YangLe, Liucheng and Jianping.

……

In Xiangyang City, Liu Biao is gathering his subordinates for discussion. As Liu Biao failed to become king this time, all his subordinates are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court. In fact, Liu Biao himself is said to have smacked a lot of things in the backyard, but now it's done, and it's useless to say more. This time, Liu Biao gathered people to discuss the matter.

"My Lord, why is there only one person left to be king this time?" Huang Juan looks at Liu Biao discontentedly and complains;

after Huang Juan's complaint, Liu Biao's face is livid and doesn't speak, but in his heart, he is secretly scolding this vulgar martial arts man. He is clearly a son of a noble family, but he is doing so. He really loses the face of his noble family. Do you think I don't want to be king? It's not because of you guys that you didn't have your share in this crown.

Seeing Liu Biao's appearance, Kuai Liang coughed softly: "coughing, Huang Taishou may not know that the Lord didn't become king this time. It's not the emperor who won't let him, but he can't, so this time he invited you all to discuss..."

Liu Biao's face was a little better at this time. He nodded his head and said: "the news from Chang'an is that among all the major forces in the world and all the people in the upper court, except me, only Liu Yao of Yuzhang didn't have a king. Not only did he not have a king, but also he didn't even have a duke. His majesty, the emperor of Chang'an City, just sent someone to do a private interview I want to appease you. "

All the people present were stunned. Instead of interrupting Liu Biao, they listened to him.

"Later, I got the news from Chang'an that I knew the reason why I didn't become king this time," Liu Biao stopped for a moment and said, "among all the conditions for becoming king, the most important one is that the territory under direct control is no less than five counties. Of course, there are many other conditions, but for me, the most important one is that this one has not been met. "

"No?" Cai Mao suddenly said: "now there are seven counties under Jingzhou, and there are eight counties under the new Shangyong county. Why does Chang'an court say that there are less than five counties under the Lord?"

The rest of the people also looked at Liu Biao with a puzzled face. Liu Biao said helplessly: "it's true that there are eight counties in Jingzhou. However, what really belongs to the control of the prefecture is only Nanjun, Jiangxia and more than ten cities in the south of Nanyang County. Not all the counties belong to the control of the prefecture."

After listening to Liu Biao's words, people suddenly realized that it was here for a long time, but they didn't say much. Kuai Liang, however, was blessed. He opened his mouth and asked Liu Biao tentatively, "what does the Lord mean?"

Liu Biao nodded, but did not go on.

Kuai Liang continued: "according to the Lord's will, who should I do it for?"At this time, it suddenly dawned on everyone that the Lord of his family wanted to bring the rest of the counties into his own hands. Although he had this idea, he was not so eager, but now it's different. The Lord of his family is eager to be king, so he has to take the rest of the counties into control.

As soon as Cai Mao heard this, he immediately said, "why don't you attack Shangyong first? He's an alien territory, and it's not hard for him to be established soon."

However, Liu Biao shook his head and said, "the so-called land of five prefectures refers to the division of prefectures during the reign of the former Emperor. The latter division can not be counted. Shangyong belongs to Hanzhong, and it certainly can not. Just like the newly designated Yingxi County on Kong's later list, it can not be regarded as a county

Kuai Yue twisted his beard and said in a deep voice: "in this way, there are only Nanyang and Jingnan four counties. Today, although Zhang Ji of Nanyang County has no support from Chang'an, the strength of Xiliang army should not be underestimated, so it is not the best place. Among the four counties in Jingnan, Changsha County and Guiyang County are now under the rule of Liu Bei. Liu Bei's two brothers are enemies of thousands of people. If we send troops, it will be very difficult. So the best way to send troops is Wuling county. "
