Chapter 203 [Leading Ding Four]

————————————

Indeed, all the generals in the hall were the first camp generals who went to Heishan this time, and they would lead their troops to set off after the banquet. £∝ Dingdian novel, but now something big happened. If they were not allowed to know the whole story, they would be absent-minded and would never forget what Guo Jia said about Liu Biao’s proclaiming emperor. He would inevitably delay the main affairs.

Therefore, Li Li was willing to satisfy the curiosity of the generals, so he simply did not read the book and listened to Guo Jia's story with the generals to save trouble. After all, this is not an ulterior motive. In a few days, it will be well-known. You can find out with just a little attention, and there is no need to hide it at all.

"Since the lord has an order, I should report it truthfully." Guo Jia agreed happily.

After a pause, Guo Jia did not directly state the contents of the book, but followed Li Li's words just now and answered Li Li's question: "The lord mentioned Liu Biao's age just now, saying that he was nearly 70 years old. As far as the empress knows, the lord overestimated Liu Jingsheng's life. Liu Biao is now 62 years old, which is far from his seventies. Even so, it is said that Liu Biao's health has been much worse than before. In addition, he made a detailed report that last year, Jiangdong assassin was very rampant and assassinated Liu Biao several times. For this reason, Liu Biao was shot by a poisonous arrow in his left arm, leaving a root of illness. He will attack every time it is windy and rainy, and the pain is unbearable. Since ancient times, it has been rare since seventy years old. With Liu Biao's physical condition, the empress dares to assert that he will not live in his seventies."

Li Li smiled and nodded: "It's great to live to be 62 years old. Nowadays, many people, even if they have a large family, have few people who can live to be 60 years old. Liu Biao ascended the throne at the age of 62, and he is still old. He can be said to be ambitions in his twilight years. Perhaps he can be regarded as the first person who is unprecedented."

Guo Jia looked stunned. After being slightly stunned, he smiled and said, "What the lord said is very true. If it weren't for the lord's reminder, I almost forgot that there has been no emperor over 60 years old since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Liu Biao was the first, perhaps the last emperor of the Liu Dynasty, or perhaps the king of the country that was destroyed."

Li Li shook his head when he heard the voice and said, "The demise of the Han Dynasty is not as good as Liu Biao. He was just at the right time and forced to do it. Now that Cao Cao established the Northern Wei Dynasty, if Liu Biao did not stand up, the Han Dynasty would be completely destroyed. And when he stood up at this time, it means that the Han Dynasty still has hope. Although the hope is very slim, hope is much better than despair. There is never a shortage of people who are lucky."

Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu said with a smile: "As the lord said, Liu Biao ascended the throne and became emperor this time, because he was lucky, and mistakenly thought that the people and the gentry were still interested in the Han Dynasty. So he was willing to risk the world's tyranny, claiming to inherit the imperial rule, take the revival of the Han Dynasty as his mission, and informing the world of talents to recruit talents. This move is indeed suspected of speculation. It is no different from a gambler. I think he just wanted to use his few remaining life to make a try.

It’s a pity that he was unable to proclaim himself emperor at this time, which was tantamount to self-severance in the world. Neither Hebei Cao Cao nor our Xiliang army could tolerate his so-called "orthodox Han Dynasty". So he thought he was one of the three parts of the world, but he didn’t know that his existence had seriously affected the rule of Cao Cao in Hebei. If it weren’t for our Xiliang army blocking the two forces, I was afraid that Cao Cao would have attacked Liu Jingsheng.”

Li Li nodded slightly and said in thought: "Liu Biao ascended the throne at this time because he wanted to reappear the Guangwu Revival and become the second Emperor of Guangwu. Unfortunately, he overestimated himself and was too self-righteous. How could he compare with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu? Not to mention how powerful Liu Xiu was, just because of his age, Liu Xiu was only twenty-six years old when he was in the army, and he was thirty-six years apart. How could he be compared with Liu Biao, an old man?"

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and from the corner of his eyes he noticed that the generals in the hall bowed their heads and pondered, so he stopped talking and signaled that Guo Jia would arrive.

Guo Jia nodded slightly and said loudly: "The announcement that Liu Biao sent someone to Nanyang this time is no different from the announcement of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Half a month ago, Liu Biao paid homage to the heaven and earth in Xiangyang, rebuilt the ancestral temple, inherited the emperor's rule, ascended the throne and became emperor, and continued to use the national name "Han", established the capital of Xiangyang, and was honored by the nine fives, and ruled the world.

At the throne ceremony, Liu Biao granted the title of Cai as the Empress, posthumously named Emperor Liu Xie as Emperor Xian of Han, and posthumously named Sun Ce as King of Wu. His descendants inherited the title of king, and also granted Cai Mao as General of Cavalry, Cheng Pu as General of Cheqi, Liu Pan as General of Guard, Huang Zu as General of Huang Gai as General of Right, Han Dang as General of Left, Zhang Yun as General of Later, and more than 100 generals of Jingzhou and Jiangdong were appointed as generals and marquis, with more than 200 miscellaneous generals.

The eleven people including Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Yu Fan were awarded the title of ministers, and the remaining civil servants in Jingzhou and Jiangdong were awarded the title of civil servants. It is worthwhile to be together that after Liu Biao ascended the throne and became emperor, he still used the Jian'an reign title, but the people used to call the Han Dynasty the "Eastern Han", but now it has been changed to the "Southern Han".

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, turned his head and looked around the generals beside him, and then looked up at Li Li, but saw Li Li shook his head slightly and signaled him to continue speaking.

"Ten days ago, Liu Biao's new chief clerk, oh no, the new Shangshu Lang Pang Tong went to Nanyang to submit Liu Biao's handwritten letter, and General Bocai was transferred to the lord."

"Wait!" Li Li suddenly interrupted Guo Jia's words and said in a deep voice: "Is the envoy of Jingzhou Pang Tong, and is Pang Shiyuan of Xiangyang Pang Tong?"

Guo Jia replied inexplicably: "It is. Pang Tong, whose courtesy name is Shiyuan, is a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou. He studied under the famous scholar Pang Degong of Jingzhou. He was praised as "Feng Chu" by Pang Degong. It is said that this man and his brother Zhuge Liang from the same school as Zhuge Liang, whom Pang Degong called Kong Ming the "Wolong". It is rumored in Xiangyang that Sima Decao, the Shuijing Mr. Sima Decao, once claimed that "Wolong and Fengchu, one can help the world." As a result, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang became famous in Jingzhou and became famous at a young age. Three years ago, Pang Tong became an official and served as the Gongcao of Xiangyang City. Last year, he was recommended to Liu Biao by Mr. Sima Decao of Shuijing. He was highly valued by Liu Biao. It happened that Liu Xian was killed in Jingzhou and was then taken over as the chief clerk of Jingzhou. He is now the Shangshu Lang and the position of Shangshu Ling. Liu Biao sent envoys to send books and gave a lot of money. The envoy was Pang Tong."

Li Li nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Feng Chu Pang Tong, Kong Ming once talked about this person, and praised him very much, saying that he had the talent of heaven and earth, so that his talent was not inferior to himself. Unexpectedly, he actually served as an official under Liu Biao's command and was also sent to Nanyang. What exactly did he mean?" After a pause, Li Li said anxiously: "Has Bo Cai temporarily detained this person?"

"This,,," Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the sound, and said the truth: "Since ancient times, the two countries have not killed the envoys, General Bo Cai has never made things difficult for Pang Tong. After leaving Liu Biao's letter of state, it is said that he stayed in Wancheng for two days and then returned to Jingzhou."

"Uh, are you leaving? Forget it, I won't blame anyone who doesn't know." Li Li responded casually, but his face showed an unconcealed disappointment, and then waved his hand to signal Guo Jia to continue.

Guo Jia could see that his lord seemed to care about Pang Tong very much, but it was too late to say anything, so Bo had already let Pang Tong go. Then Guo Jia abandoned the distracting thoughts and continued: "Liu Biao claimed in the book that the lord was a loyal and kind Han Dynasty, a pillar of the Han Dynasty. He has devoted himself to assisting the Han Dynasty for many years and maintaining the orthodox Han Dynasty. He is a model for the world. Therefore, Liu Biao ordered the lord to continue to serve as a general, and his official position and title remain unchanged. He also rewarded him, uh, 30,000 gold and 3,000 pieces of silk. I hope that the lord would support the lord as always. When he succeeds, he is willing to dominate the world with the lord. In addition, Liu Biao rewarded us one by one, and all of them were promoted, without any omissions."

At this point, Guo Jia made a detailed statement of the book in front of Li Li, and explained it in the meantime, which was extremely detailed. After saying that, Guo Jia did not say more, bowed and retreated aside with Jia Xu and sat down gently, for fear of disturbing Li Li's thinking.

Liu Biao put a high hat on Li Li in the book and gave him a lot of money. Li Li knew what he wanted to do. At most, such tricks would be to deceive a three-year-old child, which was useless to Li Li. In addition, after Liu Biao ascended the throne and became emperor, he tried every means to show kindness to him, which allowed Li Li to guess his thoughts. It was obvious that Liu Biao did not dare to break up with him and did not have the courage to fight him head-on. The so-called inheritance of orthodoxy was actually to seek self-protection.

After thinking for a while, Li Li smiled contemptuously: "In four months, two emperors appeared in the world, two kingdoms, the Northern Wei Dynasty to the north and the Southern Han Dynasty to the south. One south and one north put us in the middle, and the situation was so urgent! This is the situation. Do you have a good idea, and where should we go?"

"Soon!" Before Li Li finished speaking, a mixed sound came from the hall. Then more than 30 generals, Guo Jia and Jia Xu stood up and walked to the center of the lobby, and knelt down in unison and said, "We jointly advise you, respectfully ask the lord to advance to the throne of the Nine Five Lords and rule the world!"

Just now, Li Li saw that Guo Jia and Jia Xu were both together and seemed to have some intentions. As expected, the reason why they repeatedly aroused the emotions of the generals in the court was to encourage the generals to join forces to join. This time, this time was not the first time. In the past three years, he had to face more than three joint forces to join forces every year. The largest was that tens of thousands of civil and military officials jointly petitioned, supporting him to ascend the throne and become emperor, and changing the reign to establish the country. However, without exception, Li Li politely rejected or shirked away.

Especially after Cao Cao established the Northern Wei Dynasty, the reason why Li Li stayed in Bingzhou and refused to return to Chang'an was actually because of this endless joint admonition. Instead of persuading all the officials under his command, it is better to stay in Bingzhou in peace, at least without having to worry about his words.

In fact, Li Li did not have the heart of an emperor, but he believed that ascending the throne and becoming an emperor is like a clown, and the world is three parts, so what is the emperor? In other words, once he becomes emperor, there will be three emperors in the world, each guarding his own territory. What is the difference between being an emperor or not?
