The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 479 Volume King Xiang of Qi and Yan!

King of Xiang.

Originated from the period between Qi and Wei during the Warring States Period.

Wei Gong, the king of Wei, suffered a great defeat when he attacked Qi. At this time, Qin in the west also sent troops to attack Wei. Wei Gong had no choice but to go to Xuzhou to honor King Wei of Qi as king in an attempt to reconcile.

King Wei of Qi, Tian Yinqi, accepted the reconciliation, but did not dare to proclaim himself king, so he also respected Wei Lang as king, and Wei Lang then became King Hui of Wei.

After Qi and Wei became kings, Qin, Zhao, Han and Yan also successively became kings, completely tearing off the last bit of face of the Zhou royal family and ushering in the most chaotic Warring States period.

Therefore...

Gongsun Yuan wants to use Prince Xiang to gather righteousness for his rebellion against the Han Dynasty!
Gongsun Yuan now has soldiers in his hands, but no name.

Yuan Tan now has fame but no soldiers.

From the very beginning, Gongsun Yuan had his eyes on Yuan Tan, the destiny bestowed upon him by the Toad Confucian scholar!
As long as Yuan Tan is willing to become the king and recognize Gongsun Du's throne, Gongsun Du himself will have the mandate of heaven and will be able to win the support of the toad Confucian scholars to fight against the emperor and the Han Dynasty!

When Yuan Tan heard that Gongsun Du wanted to become king with him, he was immediately dissatisfied.

But after thinking for a while, he finally compromised again and sent Wang Xiu as an envoy to Xiangping to discuss the matter of becoming the King with Gongsun Du.

It was finally decided that Yuan Tan and Gongsun Du would become kings by the Ma Zi River.

Gongsun Du recognized Yuan Tan as the King of Qi, and Yuan Tan recognized Gongsun Du as the King of Yan.

From then on, the two divided the Liaodong territory, with the area east of the Mazi River as Yan State and the area west of the Mazi River as Qi State.

When the two men set the date, they also invited King Jian Weiju of Buyeo and King Gao Yanyou of Goguryeo to come to the Mazi River to witness it together.

The Fuyu Kingdom had a close relationship with Gongsun Du, so its king Jian was the first to come.

But Gao Yanyou hesitated.

Because the relationship between Gongsun Du and Gao Yanyou was actually not harmonious.

After the death of the eighth king of Goguryeo, Bogu, his eldest son Go Nammu succeeded to the throne.

Gao Nanwu died young. According to the order of succession, his second brother Gao Faqi should have succeeded to the throne. However, with the intervention of Gao Nanwu's queen Yu, his third brother Gao Yeonyou ascended the throne of Goguryeo.

Gao Faqi was furious when he learned about it and besieged the palace of Goguryeo, but no one in the country supported Gao Faqi. So Gao Faqi went to the Liaodong governor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Du, and borrowed 30,000 troops to counterattack Goguryeo's inner city. In the end, he failed and Gao Faqi committed suicide.

Since then, Gao Yanyou has firmly established himself as the king of Goguryeo and married his brother's queen Yu...

There is some hatred between Gao Yanyou and Gongsun Du, so how could he be willing to attend Gongsun Du's ceremony of becoming the King today?

"Your Majesty must attend."

Yu walked out from the side chamber of the Goguryeo royal palace, which was also called Guoneicheng.

Although she is not pretty and has a small figure, her facial features appear extremely capable and she reveals a shrewd look.

When Gao Yanyou saw Yu, there was fear and expectation in his eyes: "What does the queen mean by this?"

"Gongsun Du's appointment as the king this time is to resist the Han Dynasty."

"The Han Dynasty defeated Kebineng, annihilated tens of thousands of troops in Ji County, and established the Beiting Protectorate. This has already shocked the entire grassland and even the mountains are afraid of it."

"Moreover, the emperor also set up a banner system among the three tribes, which actually controlled the three tribes on the grassland and made them behave themselves, just like turning from jackals into sheep."

"That emperor has definitely surpassed his father, Emperor Xiaoling! And have you forgotten what happened to the previous king when he invaded the Han Dynasty?"

The ninth king of Goguryeo, Bogu, once invaded the Han Dynasty, looted Xin'an and Juxiang, and at the same time attacked Xi'anping. On the way, he killed the magistrate of Daifang County and abducted the wife and children of the prefect of Lelang.

Later, in the second year of Emperor Ling's Jianning reign, Geng Lin, the governor of Xuantu, led an army to attack Goguryeo and killed hundreds of people. Bogu surrendered, and his land was returned to Liaodong Prefecture of the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Xiping reign, Bogu even directly begged to be annexed to Xuantu Prefecture...

And the man who could easily destroy Goguryeo was just a governor...

There are 103 such governors in the Han Dynasty...

Moreover, this does not include the genuine lieutenants and lieutenant generals of the Han Dynasty...

Even Gongsun Du, who was extremely powerful in their eyes, only occupied half of Youzhou of the Han Dynasty.

But the Han Dynasty had thirteen states.

Not to mention, Youzhou is at the bottom of the list in terms of wealth...

Gao Yanyou couldn't help but feel terrified when he thought about the terrifying and despairing strength of the big man...

Compared with the Han Dynasty, what is Goguryeo?
If that emperor stood in front of me, I probably wouldn't even have the courage to stand up, right?
But at the same time, Gao Yanyou was even more puzzled by the queen's words——

"If that's the case, then we shouldn't go against the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Tian Chanyu of the grassland. Why would we join Gongsun Du's Xiangwang?"

The big man was so powerful that it made one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

The Han emperor who was honored as "Tian Chanyu" by the powerful Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei was a divine king whom all the rulers of the surrounding small countries dared not look directly at!

Is it really possible for a human to have the courage to stand in opposition to such an existence?

"Your Majesty, this is wrong."

Queen Yu refuted Gao Yanyou again.

However, Gao Yanyou, the ruler of a country, did not dare to refute in front of the queen. Instead, he lowered his head and waited for the teachings of his former sister-in-law and current wife.

"It is precisely because the Han Dynasty is too powerful that we cannot allow them to get involved in Liaodong."

"Although Gongsun Du seems extremely weak compared to the Han, he still has some strength. He might be able to resist the Han."

"For Goguryeo, it would rather support a noisy neighbor like Gongsun Du than welcome a god who can block out the sun and the sky."

"It would be best for the king to go to Gongsun Du, give up his hatred, form an alliance with him, and rely on Gongsun Du to resist the Han Dynasty."

"If Gongsun Du cannot resist, it won't be too late for you to surrender to the Han emperor!"

After hearing what Queen Yu said, Gao Yanyou felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining!
"So that's it!" At this moment, Queen Yu suddenly took the candle next to her.

Gao Yanyou's expression suddenly changed when he saw this, and his originally happy smile turned into fear...

……

Gao Yanyou finally brought the Goguryeo troops to attend the meeting of the kings.

However, what surprised the receptionist was that Gao Yanyou actually brought his queen with him.

But the waiter did not dare to ask more questions and could only take them to the camp that had already been built.

Inside the camp.

There is a high platform in the center with a large tripod on top.

Below the platform are two seats.

Yuan Tan was the King of Qi, the most respected, and he occupied the right position.

Gongsun Yuan had not yet become king, so this position was slightly lower and was on the left.

When they heard that Gao Yanyou was coming, they were extremely happy!

This time, Goguryeo brought at least 5,000 soldiers and horses.

These troops are like timely help for them as they are about to fight against the Han Dynasty!

Therefore, the two of them specially set up a banquet and invited Gao Yanyou and Yu.

seat.

Gao Yanyou spoke timidly and often talked about other things.

On the contrary, although Yu was a woman, she not only spoke fluent Chinese, but was also very familiar with the classics, history, and literature of the Han Dynasty, and even knew the story of the King of Xuzhou.

"Back then, King Wei of Qi and King Hui of Liang met in Xuzhou, and later the Huaihe River and Sihe River gave birth to heroes like Emperor Gaozu of Han."

"Today, the King of Qi and the King of Yan are co-crowned here. This will surely accumulate good fortune and give birth to a hero who will unify the world!"

Yu's words made Gongsun Du and Yuan Tan laugh out loud.

Yuan Tan was even more relieved when he learned that the imperial court was coming to attack: "Good! Good! Well said!"

Afterwards, Yuan Tan rewarded Queen Yu with a hairpin made of fine jade on the spot as a reward.

Queen Yu looked at the hairpin in her hand in shock...

Such a treasure, if placed in Goguryeo, could be called a national treasure!

But Yuan Tan, the King of Qi, threw it out like trash...

For a moment, Queen Yu looked at Yuan Tan with seductive eyes.

In addition, Yuan Tan inherited Yuan Shao's good looks, which made Queen Yu even more restless!

Yuan Tan was born into a wealthy family and held a high position. Although he had seen countless women, he was also good at making friends. He immediately understood what the other party meant.

Glancing at the weak Gao Yanyou, Yuan Tan shook his head slightly, and after three rounds of drinking, he walked towards the back house.

Queen Yu followed soon after, and the two quickly became close friends.

"Don't worry, King Qi! We will be able to resist the Han emperor this time!"

Yuan Tan did not want to hear these meaningless empty words, so he asked directly: "Is this all the soldiers that Goguryeo can bring?"

Queen Yu: "Goguryeo's national strength is declining, so it can't afford to support too many soldiers, but there are still some people in the country, but they can't come because they don't have weapons and equipment."

Yuan Tan's eyes lit up after hearing this: "In that case, how about I provide the weapons and equipment?"

The queen was also happy.

Although the two knew each other well just now, they were all calculating at this moment.

Yuan Tan wanted soldiers.

Queen Yu wanted to expand her power, so she needed Yuan Tan's money.

The two hit it off and immediately reached a deal!
Yuan Tan hugged Queen Yu and suddenly asked, "Does Gao Yanyou have any children?"

"not at all."

Yuan Tan was even more delighted, and his movements became faster and faster!
Obviously, a huge plan of using someone else's power to replace someone else has already formed in Yuan Tan's mind.

Queen Yu became more and more excited. When she couldn't control herself, she even forgot Yuan Tan's identity and slapped Yuan Tan hard on the face!

After Yuan Tan became dazed, his energy was also drained away.

But seeing that the place where his ambitions might be born had already overflowed, Yuan Tan did not make a big deal out of it and make a fuss about it with a woman.

Queen Yu's face was flushed and she collapsed on the couch.

She had only one thought now -

Even Prince Yuan Tan of Qi is like this, what about the Emperor of Han who is comparable to the God-King?

……

Yuan Tan returned to the banquet, and Gongsun Du, who was closest to him, saw the slap mark on Yuan Tan's face at a glance.

Gongsun Du suddenly revealed an intriguing smile.

He knew that this time, Goguryeo's reinforcements would not be able to escape!

As long as all the forces in Liaodong are united, it may be possible to defeat the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!
