Under Yuan Shu's governance, Yangzhou's focus was mainly concentrated in Shouchun, Huainan, Jianye and other places.

Some officials in Lujiang, Kuaiji, Wujun and other places are still from the court.

These people have always been obedient, so Yuan Shu has no reason to touch them.

In Yuan Shu's opinion, these people are weak and courageous.

They are just a group of mobs that can be destroyed by their own backhand.

Under such circumstances, the possibility of these stinky fish and rotten shrimps rebelling was infinitely close to zero, so Yuan Shu was not in a hurry to urge them.

Unexpectedly, the Chang'an court used only one edict to squeeze these mobs into a rope, which had begun to cause chaos in Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu secretly sighed that he underestimated the influence of the Han Dynasty, and there were still many people in the world who were interested in the Han Dynasty.

Although the court declined, it still represents the orthodoxy of the world. The official positions enthroned by the emperor still attracted many people.

This is also why Cao Mengde was able to use the emperor to command the princes in his previous life.

Now the big toy of Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, fell into Liu Bei's hands again. It seems that Liu Bei is playing very well, no worse than Cao Mengde in his previous life.

After Yuan Shu's counselors read the secret documents, Liu Bowen took the lead and said:

"My Yangzhou soldiers are good and have enough food, and the people are willing to accept them.

Liu Yao seemed to be very powerful in Qu'a, but in fact he had become a turtle in the jar.

The lord only needs to send a few generals to lead tens of thousands of troops to defeat him.

The rest, such as Liu Xun, Wang Lang, Yan Baihu, etc., are even more unconcerned.

The lord attacked him with a large army, and these mobs would inevitably be defeated.

The Chang'an court knew that Liu Yao would be defeated, but he still made him the governor of the state, with the intention of disturbing our Yangzhou so as to gain profit from it."

Liu Bowen's plan has always been based on stability. He is good at building momentum and is even better at suppressing people with power, making the enemy unable to resist.

Yuan Shu nodded and said:

"My teacher's words are reasonable, but the Liu Yao rebellion did have a negative impact on my Yangzhou, and also made me see some hidden dangers."

Xi Zhicai shook his folding fan and analyzed:

"The main reason why Liu Yao and others dared to jump out to resist the lord was the appointment of the Chang'an court.

From this point of view, Liu Bei, the Grand Sikong, used the emperor much better than that of Taishi Dong.

If they can taste the sweetness this time, similar things will definitely be indispensable in the future.

Now we can only wipe out Liu Yao and others with thunder, so that the people of the world can see the determination and ability of the lord to suppress the rebellion.

Only in this way can the officials and families under the lord rule take it as a warning and will no longer have any thoughts that should not have."

Although Xi Zhicai's idea was a bit radical, it was the best strategy at present. The strategists present nodded repeatedly and said yes.

Guo Tu rolled his eyes and stood up to salute Yuan Shu and said:

"Lord, Liu Yao and other rats are in trouble in Yangzhou. A large part of the reason is that the lord's status is not high enough.

The Chang'an court randomly granted them an official like the governor of Yangzhou and the general of Zhennan. These idiots thought they could be on par with their masters, which was ridiculous.

From the perspective of the picture, the lord has occupied the Yangtze River and is the overlord of all over the world. He should be called king and honored!

After the lord became king, the people of Jiangnan would naturally regard themselves as ministers of the lord, gradually fading the influence of the Han court, which would be more beneficial to the lord's rule."

Guo Tu's words were already naked and ruthless words, and he almost persuaded Yuan Shu to be emperor.

Fortunately, the strategists here are all Yuan Shu’s hard-core confidants, and none of them are interested in the Han Dynasty.

If his remarks were heard by a strategist like Xun Yu, he would have to scold Guo Tu.

Yuan Shu never thought about it, mainly because he died in his previous life, which was so miserable that Yuan Shu didn't want to follow his footsteps in this life.

He just wanted to build high walls, accumulate grain, and become king slowly, and do it little by little.

But now, after hearing what Guo Tu said, it seems to make some sense.

Yuan Shu said hesitantly:

"Emperor Gaozu once said during the White Horse Alliance that if it is not the Liu family but the king, the whole world will attack it.

Now the world is not decided, so it is probably inappropriate to be king rashly.”

After hearing Yuan Shu say this, Jia Xu, who is good at guessing human nature, advised:

"The lord can not be called king for the time being, just submit the imperial court to take the position of a general.

As for the matter of being a king, it is not impossible. We need to make a long-term plan and take the opportunity to act."

Jia Xu's suggestion made Yuan Shu feel feasible, and he asked:

"Now the court is in the hands of Liu Bei, it is estimated that this Yangzhou rebellion was Liu Bei's work.

How can the court get me the position of the general?"

Yuan Shu's words asked Li Ru's profession.

No one is better at playing with the imperial court than Li Ru.

A cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up and bowed:

"If you want to get the position of general, you just need to submit a letter and get it yourself.

Regardless of whether the court agrees or not, the lord will be a veritable general.

If Liu Bei rejected his lord's request, he could have been said to have become a general under the will of the late emperor.

The lord even had the jade pendant of the late emperor "Like I personally visited", so it was not surprising that there were two more secret orders.

If Liu Bei were to me, I would agree to my lord’s request, otherwise it would only embarrass myself and reduce the prestige of the court.

The court enthroned the lord as a general. At least in name, the lord recognized the orthodox nature of the Chang'an court, which was of some benefit to them."

Liu Bowen looked at Li Ru with appreciation, and smiled:

"Wenyou's words hit the nail on the head, which is a feasible method, and the old ministers agreed."

Other strategists also bowed:

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yuan Shu decided:

"good!

The Hou would send envoys to Chang'an tomorrow to ask the court for the position of general."

Guo Tu flatteredly echoed:

"Even Liu Bei's mat and foot seller can be the Grand Marshal. It is in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people.

When the imperial court is appointed, our Yangzhou military and civilians will surely be happy and encouraged."

After finalizing the strategy of leading the general, Yuan Shu was about to ask the strategists who sent to conquer Liu Yao and others, but suddenly received a system prompt.

"Ding! Liu Yao was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou by the Chang'an court, which seriously affected the stability of his host Yangzhou.

How can one state have two masters?

Please lead the host to personally lead the troops to eliminate the rebellion and make the right reputation!

The system is now releasing a limited-time task: pacifying Jiangnan.

Mission goal: To wipe out all forces led by Liu Yao, Liu Xun, Wang Lang and Yan Baihu that do not surrender to the lord.

Mission time limit: within three months.

Task completion reward: reputation value and attribute reward, the specific amount depends on the completion degree.

Mission failure penalty: The host's charm value is reduced by 20 points, and the luck value is reduced by 20 points."

Yuan Shu thought that the punishment for failure was heavy enough, and his charm and luck were greatly reduced.

Thinking about it, as Yuan Shu is now the overlord of Jiangnan, if he can tolerate the existence of rebellious forces under his rule, it would be too cowardly.

Yuan Shu directly changed the "sect" to "sui" and asked:
Chapter completed!
