Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 735

Not long after, the news of Liu Wei proclaiming himself emperor in Ji County reached the ears of Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others in the south.

"Liu Ziyan is also a rat, and his origin is still unknown. It is said that he is the queen of Qinghe King, but Qinghe King was abolished as early as the first year of Jianhe. He dared to proclaim himself emperor by relying on his own strength and occupying most of the territory? I swear Go north and get rid of this dog thief!"

When Liu Bei, who was far away in Jingzhou, learned that Liu An had become emperor, he looked to the north and cursed angrily, even if he wanted to send troops north to attack Liu Wei.

"My lord, absolutely not. If you go north to attack Liu Wei, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg. Although my lord is angry, this matter must be discussed in the long run!"

Zhuge Liang held Liu Bei back and spoke nicely to comfort Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's emotions were under control, but Zhang Fei's violent temper rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Fei yelled loudly: "Brother, that bastard Liu Wei has become emperor, how can you bear it?" Even if you can bear it, I can't bear it! In my opinion, we are no worse than him, Liu Wei, just hit his mother!"

"Shut up. When will you change your violent temper! Fight? What will you use to fight? All the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou add up to only 30 to [-], but Liu Wei has millions of soldiers and horses. What do you want me to fight with?" ?”

Of course Liu Bei also wanted to attack Liu Wei in the north, but he had to face reality, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and if he started a war with Liu Wei, Liu Wei could kill him in minutes.

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu also came in from the door, clasped his fists at Liu Bei, and then at Zhuge Liang, and said, "When is the elder brother going to send troops?"

"Forehead……!"

Liu Bei could scold Zhang Fei, but he couldn't scold Guan Yu. He just looked at Guan Yu in embarrassment.

Zhuge Liang came out to make a rescue and said: "Second general, please be safe and don't be impatient. My lord has reached an agreement with Liu Zhang in Shuzhong and Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Naturally, we will send troops to fight Liu Wei!"

Guan Yu said proudly: "Brother is a dragon and a phoenix among people. Sun Ce is a rat in Jiangdong, and Liu Zhang is a pig and dog in Sichuan. How can dragons and phoenixes walk with pigs and dogs!"

"This……!"

Zhuge Liang was speechless and said after a while, "Second General, in the current situation, even if they are ants, we must unite, otherwise Liu Ziyan will defeat them one by one!"

"Oh, I never thought that Cao Mengde would be placed in Liu Wei's hands. I thought Cao Mengde could last at least three to five years. We can take this opportunity to go west, take Sichuan and Shu, and join Jingzhou. Attacking the north from two routes, I never thought that Cao Mengde would be defeated so quickly!"

Liu Bei sighed helplessly.

"Man is not as good as God, my lord should send envoys to Jiangdong and Xishu as soon as possible, otherwise Liu Wei will continue to go south to attack our Yuzhou!"

Zhuge Liang persuaded.

"Well, I will send someone to Soochow to contact Chuanzhong!"

Liu Bei immediately sent people to Jiangdong to contact Sun Ce, and sent people to Xichuan to contact Liu Zhang.

And Liu Zhang and Sun Ce naturally knew the importance, and immediately agreed to advance and retreat with Liu Bei. If Liu Wei attacked one of them, the other two would send troops to contain them.

In Jiangdong, however, it is divided into two factions, one is the main combat faction headed by Sun Ce and Liu Wei is not dead, and the other is the main descendant faction headed by Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong. They believe that Liu Wei has agreed to one-third of the world. Er's territory, with their strength in Jiangdong, is not enough for Liu Wei to contend with. If Liu Wei's army arrives, it is better to surrender than to fight for victory. Sun Ce is Liu Wei's eldest brother-in-law. Sun Ce will be named an official.Therefore, they seem to be against Liu Wei, it is better to help Liu Wei attack Liu Bei when Liu Wei went south, and they are also credited to Liu Wei.

But who is Sun Ce, how can he surrender without a fight? His goal is to fight for hegemony, not to be an official under others.

Therefore, Sun Ce resisted all opinions and resolutely formed an alliance with Liu Bei and Liu Zhang to advance and retreat together through life and death.

The news spread to Beidu (formerly Ji County, now renamed Beidu), Liu Wei couldn't help smiling when he received the news from Jin Yiwei, and said only four words: "It's nothing to worry about!"

The next day, at the early court, Liu Wei said: "Everyone, now Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, and Sun Ce have formed an alliance and are against me in the south. What do you think?"

Before others expressed their views, even the grumpy generals, Pang Tong took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army south to take Yuzhou and Jingzhou for my lord!"

"No!"

Tian Feng stopped and objected: "Your Majesty, the southern coalition army has just been established, and it is the time when it is full of arrogance. Sending troops at this time will not benefit our army!"

Before Liu Wei could speak, Pang Tong said again: "It is precisely because of the arrogance of the coalition forces in the south that we have to send troops to counter their arrogance and let them know our strength! Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are uplifted. It is Nanxia Ping Good time to betray!"

"you……!"

Tian Feng was stunned and had nothing to say, he turned around and begged Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, don't send troops!"

And Liu Wei is also the immediate monarch, so naturally he was not angry with the coalition forces in the south, and said: "I think Pang Shiyuan's words are justified. As the so-called new official takes office, there are three fires. Since I ascended the throne, I have not made an inch of merit. Great opportunity for our country!"

"Your Majesty, the strength of the coalition should not be underestimated. Sun Ce is known as a bully, Liu Bei is treacherous and cunning, Liu Zhang is weak, but there are many heroes in Sichuan and Shu. This three-party alliance is indeed my strong enemy. I hope Your Majesty will make a long-term plan!"

Jushou also stood up to prevent Liu Wei from going south to attack the southern allied forces.

"Huh? The prime minister's words are not unreasonable. It's just that my big man is full of soldiers and food, like a lion ready to go. The southern coalition army is at best a few strong sheep. How can a lion be afraid of sheep, even a group of sheep?" Sheep, that is not a match for a strong lion. On the contrary, if I wait a few years, my lion will be old and have no ability to hunt. At that time, even if I want to kill sheep, I will have more than I can do. Not enough!"

Liu Wei quoted the scriptures and said.

"His Majesty……!"

Tian Feng wanted to persuade Liu Wei again, but Liu Wei stretched out his hand to stop him: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have decided to attack them, what you have to do now is not to persuade me, but to help me choose the weakest one." sheep, let me eat it!"

"Your Majesty, I think we should attack Liu Bei first, then Sun Ce, and finally destroy Liu Zhang, from strong to weak, one by one!"

Pang Tong said again.

"No, Your Majesty, I think we should attack Liu Zhang!"

Zhong Hui, the son of Zhong Yao, spoke.

"You kid, what do you know! How dare you speak wild words here!"

Pang Tong turned around and reprimanded Zhong Hui.

"Ok?"

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows and said to Zhong Hui, "Tell me the reason!"
