People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 385
Li Yao made the decision, and put all the credit for destroying Yuan Shu on Liu Bei, and added the titles of East Sea King, Xuzhou Mu, and Zhendong General.

After being certified by the imperial court, it went through the formal process, and then it was issued to the Kanto, and it was widely publicized.

Xuzhou, Donghai, Tan County!

At this time Liu Bei was holding the imperial decree in his hand, and it would be a lie to say that he was not excited.

He came from a humble background. Although he was also a member of the Han family, he no longer had any titles, houses, or fields, so he had to make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes.

Now, after his own struggle, he finally won the prince again. Who can understand this great satisfaction.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all smiled and congratulated their elder brother on being crowned king.

But at this time, Chen Gong said:
"Ming Gong, we have been roasted on the fire, if we are not careful, we will be wiped out!"

Liu Bei's heart trembled when he heard the words, he immediately put away the imperial decree, and solemnly said:
"Gongtai, please explain!"

When Chen Gong saw Liu Bei, although he was excited, he did not get carried away. He nodded inwardly, took a deep breath, and then explained:
"The imperial court, or Li Yao's intentions can be described as extremely sinister. As a clan member of the Han family, it is normal for Minggong to make meritorious service and become king. But the key point is that Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce, who also participated in the crusade against Yuan Shu, were just words. Not to mention, not to mention the prince, not even the marquis, this is setting Duke Ming on fire!"

After Liu Bei listened, he couldn't help but feel his back getting cold, and then he asked quickly:
"Gongtai, what should we do now?"

Chen Gong thought for a while, then solemnly cupped his hands and said:
"It is necessary to communicate with them, but sending envoys to explain is a sign of weakness. How about Duke Ming, as a clan member of the Han family, to send someone to bring gifts to thank them for their contribution to destroying the traitor Yuan Shu? ..."

"In this way, firstly, you can show your tolerance, secondly, you can make friends with all parties, and at the same time explain that these are all Li Yao's schemes, so that you will not fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness..."

"I even took this opportunity to contact Liu Biao and wait for the opportunity to pinch Cao Cao. Cao Cao has many generals, and his forces span across Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. If they can't be annexed, Duke Ming will have no chance of defeating Li Yao!"

Liu Bei nodded again and again, and said with emotion:
"I have a public platform, and I feel like a fish in water, so we will do what the public platform says!"

……

Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Xu County!

In fact, Cao Cao didn't need Liu Bei to send people over to give gifts, to thank them for their contribution to destroying the traitor Yuan Shu, and what else these are all Li Yao's tricks...

He understood everything, although his generals were quite angry because the court treated Cao Cao unfairly, but Cao Cao was happy to see it happen, because Cao Cao wanted to eliminate Liu Bei, and it would be best for Liu Bei to be isolated.

Wrapped in a thick fur, Cao Cao thought while warming the fire:
"In the winter campaign, fleece jackets, fleece pants, fleece shoes, food and grass... are all greatly increased. It seems that Liu Bei can only be eliminated next year. Next year, we will first provoke a war with Liu Biao, lure Liu Bei to attack my rear, and then immediately Return to the division for rescue, and wipe out all Liu Bei's troops in the field, so that Xuzhou can be quickly controlled, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you can enjoy your life as the king of the East China Sea, because soon, I will personally capture and kill you!"

……

Jingzhou, Nanjun, Xiangyang!

Liu Biao brought Jingzhou civil and military officials, as well as famous people from aristocratic families, to host a banquet in honor of Liu Bei's envoy. Everyone drank and wrote poems, talked high-spiritedly, and had a good time.

However, in this cheerful atmosphere, Liu Bei's envoy could not find an opportunity to talk with Liu Biao in private. After all, he certainly couldn't talk about such things as pinching Cao Cao.

After the banquet is over, everyone is already drunk, some are still talking and laughing loudly, some have already fallen asleep...

But Liu Biao, half-drunk and half-awake, had a flash of jealousy in his eyes. He was jealous of Liu Bei, and he was jealous of Liu Bei being able to become the king. Everyone was a relative of the Han family, and no one had a prince in his ancestors.

But under the overt conspiracy of Tweeting Order, they can only get smaller and smaller, and finally become ordinary people.

Now that Liu Bei, a commoner, has won the title of king in a counterattack, it is normal for Liu Biao to feel jealous.

But thinking of his aging body and Jingzhou, which was controlled by a large part of the power of the aristocratic family, the jealousy in Liu Biao's eyes turned bitter, and he took a drink from the glass, thinking in his heart:
"In this world, you can fight as much as you want. As long as this old man guards Jingzhou, it is enough to leave a good reputation of protecting one side after death!"

……

Yangzhou, Wu County, Wu County!

Sun Ce was young and heroic, full of majesty. He was originally attached to Yuan Shu, but now he also has a territory of his own, which is the time when he is arrogant and frivolous.

At this age, what he desires the most is fame. After Yuan Shu was eliminated, the court ignored him and made him feel extremely angry. Let alone a prince or marquis, he didn't even give him a formal official position.

Just at this time, Liu Bei sent an envoy to present gifts and say good things, thanking him for his contribution to destroying Yuan Shu. Sun Ce was very helpful and said directly:
"Yuan Shu, who usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, a great treason, it is a pity that he failed to personally defeat Shouchun and behead him..."

"Mr. Xuande is a clan member of the Han family. His reputation spreads all over the country, and he even knows my name, Sun Bofu!"

Envoy Liu Bei smiled and said:
"My Duke Ming has heard of the name of General Sun's bravery for a long time, and my Duke Ming is even more familiar with General Sun..."

"Fighting the Yellow Turban and begging Dong Zhuo, when is it not the first line of charge, the tiger father has no dogs, although General Sun has passed away, but General Sun has completely inherited his father's good fighting skills, presumably General Sun will be gratified when he learns about it !"

Speaking of Sun Jian, Sun Ce's expression became serious:
"My father fought south and north in this life, conquered east and west, and there are countless enemies who fell under his sword. There is only one person who defeated him and made him remember him for a lifetime..."

"Li Yao, sooner or later, I will bring the Jiangdong disciples to the north again, to fight against him, and wash away all the shame with his blood!"

The enmity between the Sun family and Li Yao began with the Liangzhou Rebellion that broke out at the same time as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Li Yao killed Zhu Jun who promoted Sun Jian, Bei Gongli killed Sun Jian's general Zu Mao, and then went to the princes to seek Dong. Li Yao and Pang De fought again, and Sun Jian cut off his hair and fled.

This kind of hatred is indeed unforgettable enough...

Envoy Liu Bei's heart moved, and he couldn't help but tentatively said:
"My family's Duke Ming also often said that Li Yao is a thief who hijacked the emperor, occupied the court, and harmed the people. He wished he could send troops to the north to fight with him and capture and kill him!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he had a better impression of Liu Bei. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. With a common enemy, it is very easy to make friends:

"It turns out that Duke Xuande also hates this thief, very good, very good..."

For a while, the two sides talked happily!
　The protagonist's strategy of dividing and alienating, coupled with leaving a heavy army in Jizhou, is enough for the protagonist to have a stable rear when fighting Xianbei, and it can be said logically
