The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 897 The world changes hands ([-])

Liu Chan then asked: "How is the flow of officials between Yecheng and Luoyang? Is there any corresponding information?"

Xu Xiang replied: "Our spies have paid enough attention to this aspect. According to the information sent, not only between Ye City and Luoyang City, but also between Luoyang City and Xuchang City, there has been a relatively frequent flow of officials. Cao Zhen has now been ordered to return to the army from the northwest battlefield, and went to Yecheng to cooperate with Jia Xu in presiding over affairs, and the defenses in the city are also being strengthened. Hua Xin, one of the three princes, has returned to Xuchang from Luoyang City. Zhong Yao, who was in Xuchang, suddenly returned to Luoyang City. This was an unnecessary transfer. What is even more strange is that Liu Fang, one of Cao Pi's secretary Lang, began to travel back and forth between Luoyang City and Xuchang The military in Luoyang City has also been mobilized, and Sima Yi has begun to take charge of the defense forces there, while the surrounding troops have been handed over to General Zhang Jaw to lead them."

After listening to Xu Xiang's reports, Liu Chan had to admit that Cao Wei's personnel transfers were too frequent.Moreover, after such a change, the personnel in charge of affairs in Cao Wei's most important three capitals have changed.If there is no ghost in it, it must be a ghost.

Therefore, Liu Chan continued to ask Xu Xiang, "How is the Cao Wei army in Nanyang County doing now, is Yu Jin still honest?"

Xu Xiang replied: "It is said that Cao Ren has already arrived in Wancheng. Therefore, it seems that Yu Jin has not made any aggressive moves other than strengthening military defenses."

Liu Chan frowned, and asked, "Are you sure that Yu Jin's army is just a strengthened defense? Have you found out why Cao Ren returned to the goal of completion?"

Xu Xiang nodded, and said: "Nanyang County is indeed just strengthening its defenses. And it is not long after the spring plowing, they should be on guard against Xiangyang's army crossing Xiangshui to attack their Tuntian school lieutenant again. As for Cao Ren's movements , The spies I let go have no way of finding out."

Liu Chan asked again: "What about the movements in Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, and Ruxukou?"

"Cao Wei's army is still strengthening the defense there."

Liu Chan nodded, and suddenly said: "Then in the northwest, Zhang Ji, the governor of Yongzhou, is probably strengthening military defenses, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiang said with a little surprise: "Exactly. How did the prince know?"

Liu Chan frowned, and said in a rambling manner: "This son knows it!" This is equivalent to an answer without answer.

After dismissing Xu Xiang, Liu Chan didn't call Zhuge Qiao, but took up the pen himself, and sent an urgent official letter to General Zuo's mansion, and then another letter to Shangshutai.

At that time, the content involved in it was almost the same: according to the various information collected by him, Cao Wei's Cao Pi is now plotting to ascend the throne again.Moreover, the date of his ascension to the throne may not be far away!In Yizhou, it is extremely necessary to be prepared for this.

Liu Chan only provided information to Chengdu this time, but did not provide a suggested response plan.After all, the relationship at this time is very important, and he doesn't want to get involved too deeply for the time being.He's a big fan now, it's better to hold back a little bit.

In fact, not only Liu Chan's side, Chengdu has also paid attention to this matter, but they haven't been able to draw such a clear conclusion like Liu Chan's side for the time being.

Therefore, after Liu Chan's official documents arrived at General Zuo's mansion, and the letter was sent to Liu Bei by Shang Shutai, it caused a great shock again among the high-level officials of Shu Han.But this news is strictly controlled, otherwise the situation is likely to cause a lot of trouble.

Because once Cao Pi ascends the throne, it means that the "big man" who is still lingering is completely replaced by Cao Wei, and the world will completely lose the co-lord of the Han Emperor.Therefore, the next question will arise about the positioning of the Shu Han regime itself: Will the Shu Han continue to exist as a kingdom under the name of the Great Han?Or hold your own independence?
Sure enough, there were many different voices in the upper echelons of Shu Han.

Those who were filled with righteous indignation cursed Cao Pi as a traitor of the great Han, and the Shu Han should send troops to crusade immediately;
The pessimists are worried about the life of the Emperor Han;

Optimists scoff at the accuracy of this news.After all, even a hero like Cao Pi's father Cao Cao would not dare to usurp the throne, let alone Cao Pi's kid?

But calm people, by observing the current situation, think that the judgment sent by Liu Chan is actually reasonable.But now that the Shu Han has gone through successive wars in various places, they have no strength for the Northern Expedition.Therefore, there is only one best way for Shu Han to deal with it: to fight against specifications with specifications.

In other words, Cao Wei was originally a kingdom under the Han Dynasty, and the Shu Han was the same.If Cao Pi ascends the throne in the future, Cao Wei will establish a dynasty, and the standard will naturally be improved.Then the Shu Han was originally established in the name of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Of course, it has that title. On the one hand, it accepts the territory of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, it can continue to fight against Cao Wei and the rebels in the name of restoring the Han Dynasty. !
Therefore, what these people mean is that once Cao Pi proclaims himself emperor, Liu Bei must also proclaim himself emperor in order to attract the hearts of the people of the world.

It should be said that the last point of view is the most in line with the actual situation, and it is the most beneficial to the Shu Han, which can allow the Shu Han to gain the commanding heights of the world's righteousness.Moreover, in this way, Liu Bei was indeed pleased.Emperor is what everyone wants to be.

Therefore, the last view became the majority with the support of General Zuo's Mansion, Shang Shutai, and even Liu Bei.

When this resolution was sent to Liu Chan, it was already August of that year.

In October of that year, the time had entered the end of autumn, and the emperor of Han suddenly announced the position of Zen to the world.Cao Pi officially held an enthronement ceremony in Luoyang, announcing that the country name was "Wei" and the establishment name was Huang Chu.

For a time, the world shook.

In January of the following year, Liu Bei, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, took the restoration of the Han Dynasty as his righteousness, and also ascended the throne. The country name is still "Han" and the establishment name is Zhangwu.He also announced that Cao Wei is a traitor of the Han family, and the world should discuss it together in order to restore the Han Dynasty and avenge the former lord.

Liu Chan himself also obtained the benefits he deserved from this matter.

Although he couldn't go back to Chengdu in time to attend Liu Bei's enthronement ceremony, even Zhang Fei couldn't go back in time, so he was still stationed in the south of Luling County.But at the same time Liu Bei ascended the throne, with the support of most of the senior officials in Chengdu, although some people came out to oppose it, Liu Chan still succeeded without a doubt and became the prince of Shu Han.

Since then, Liu Chan's status has become almost unshakable.
