Obviously, eight or nine out of the eleven fragments have been found, but no one dared to take any action.

This just gave Liu Zhaoqing an opportunity to develop. On the fourth day, Liu Yu also secretly sent a message saying that he had found a Hu man inside Youzhou. That man was originally a wealthy man from Yuyang and had some abilities, but he was dissatisfied with Liu Yu for not taking him seriously.

In the letter, Liu Yu also asked Liu Zhaoqing how he should deal with him, whether to play the long game and hook a big fish, or to pull him out and use him as a shield.

But on this day, rumors began to spread widely in Hebei: Changping Hou Liu Zhaoqing had the appearance of an emperor and possessed a sacred Han artifact, and wanted to proclaim himself emperor in Hebei.

All of a sudden, some princes began to propose an attack on Liu Zhaoqing.

At this juncture, Liu Zhaoqing discussed with Guo Jia and others and decided to reply to Liu Yu first and then think about how to deal with the enemy.

Changes occur again.

Just as Liu Zhaoqing was about to send a reply to Liu Yu using the falcon, a loud dragon roar came from the sky east of Changping.

Then, flying clouds appeared in the eastern sky, and white cranes and an illusory blue dragon flew towards that direction. Countless auspicious birds also chirped a song of peace and good omen, which floated towards the direction of Yuyang.

At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing and others looked up and saw nine unicorns, each holding the emperor's crown, dragon robe, and other servants or jewels in their mouths, and they were riding on flying clouds to the east.

"This is……"

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Changping, and even most people in Hebei are not clear about what is going on.

Even if a genius wrote a masterpiece that would be passed down through the ages, this kind of auspicious phenomenon could not compare to this. What did it represent?

But there were also a small number of people, such as Guo Jia, Tian Chou and the counselors around Han Fu, who looked up at the sky, their expressions changed when they saw this strange sight, and then they immediately thought of what they had seen in books.

They understood that this meant...

"Someone is sorry!

Chapter 202: Killing the False Emperor5.2K

The magnificent sound that resounds through the sky is the manifestation of heaven's will.

The red light under the auspicious clouds in the distance exudes the same aura as the Emperor of Han.

Anyone can claim to be the emperor as long as they have the courage, but that is just a self-destructive act and is meaningless.

And now, in the eyes of all Hebei people, the one who is born is the Son of Heaven recognized by heaven and earth, the true Son of Heaven acknowledged by destiny.

In other words, today, Hebei gave birth to the second true Han emperor of the current dynasty.

The strange vision in the sky could not be faked. Everyone who saw this scene understood that someone was really holding the Scarlet Sky fragments to ascend to the supreme position.

Moreover, the direction of the vision was not Changping, but Yuyang.

Now, the rumors that the Hebei princes had originally wanted to spread on the grounds that Liu Zhaoqing wanted to usurp the throne and establish himself as emperor in Hebei were suddenly refuted.

Although this stunned many princes who were preparing to join forces to attack Liu Zhaoqing, Liu Zhaoqing and others in Changping City did not think that this was a sudden good thing for them.

At least not entirely a good thing.

Because this change seemed to dispel the rumors, but it did not solve the substantive problem. The princes of Hebei would still invade the northern border of Youzhou under the pretext of attacking the false emperor, and the threat from foreign races was not eliminated.

After looking up and seeing nine unicorns flying by on the clouds, Guo Jia immediately came to his senses.

He hurriedly said to Liu Zhaoqing on the side: "My Lord! Pass this letter to Liu Yu quickly!"

But Liu Zhaoqing frowned and shook his head: "It's too late."

He knew that Guo Jia wanted Liu Yu to stop the man who claimed to be the Son of Heaven from ascending the throne, but now with auspicious beasts coming to pay homage and unusual phenomena occurring in the sky, his throne had already become a reality.

Therefore, the suggestions and strategies in the letter in Liu Zhaoqing's hand were no longer useful. After taking the letter, Liu Zhaoqing did not let the letter go.

He thought for a moment and immediately changed his strategy. He said to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, write another letter to Lord Bo'an, reminding him to be aware that the princes of Hebei might stab him in the back. Some of the soldiers need to be transferred to guard against the princes."

Guo Jia nodded slightly, then frowned and said in thought: "My lord said before that the appearance of Gaozu's divine artifact was probably intentional by foreign races."

"Now that a fake emperor has ascended the throne in Hebei, it also means that the foreign races are likely to make big moves in the near future... Even if Changping is not attacked by the princes, it may encounter an invasion by the Xianbei Hu people..."

"Yes." Liu Zhaoqing stopped looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky, waved his sleeves and said, "The defense of Changping and the training of soldiers cannot be stopped. I think there will be a major battle within ten days."

"Although the 'fake emperor' is 'fake' to the Han Dynasty, he is indeed the Son of Heaven recognized by heaven and earth. We must control him immediately, otherwise he may use this power to disrupt the entire north, and then allow foreign races to enter Hebei and trample on our Han people."

"I will go with Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to Yuyang to see if we can capture that guy. Fengxiao, you will inform my wife and the other generals later."

Although it was very dangerous for only three people to go to the front line, Guo Jia also knew that the opportunity could not be missed. After nodding, Liu Zhaoqing immediately walked out the door and found Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao who had also come here after hearing the strange signs of heaven and earth.

Soon after, the three of them equipped themselves lightly, each mounted a good horse, and immediately set out from the side door opened in Changping, heading towards Yuyang County.

Along the way, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had many questions lingering in their minds, but now they both understood that the most important thing now was to quickly rush to the center of the scene where the strange vision occurred.

The dust raised by the three horses trampling the sand echoed with the strange vision that had not yet dissipated in the sky.

The auspicious cranes had already flown back in the direction they had come from, and the unicorn was stepping towards the clouds in the sky and disappearing without a trace behind them. Only Liu Zhaoqing and his two companions, riding three horses, were still heading towards the emperor.

They were not going to worship, but to catch a thief.

The three of them rode their horses at full speed, and in just a moment, Liu Zhaoqing, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao saw the county seat of Yuyang County.

After seeing that there were no soldiers outside the county town, Liu Zhaoqing's worries were slightly relieved.

What he was most worried about, that someone would arrive in Yuyang before them, did not happen. They were the fastest group.

On the way, Liu Zhaoqing thought it through and roughly guessed what had happened.

The man who claimed to be the Son of Heaven was most likely the second person Liu Yu had found out before who had an inside track with the Hu people. He was a wealthy man in Yuyang, and was most likely the one who sent those foreign soldiers to Jicheng that night.

So even if Liu Zhaoqing's letter had not yet been delivered to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu had not taken measures such as detention against him, Liu Yu also said that he had already set his sights on that person.

It is not known where that person got the artifact fragments from, nor how he was able to claim to be the emperor while being under surveillance by Liu Yu. But judging from the current calmness in Yuyang City, he should be under control.

Just when Liu Zhaoqing had this thought, a loud bird song was heard from Yuyang County not far away.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were both shocked.

"It's that alien flying soldier!!"

They were very familiar with this sound; it was the sound of the birds that the alien soldiers rode.

"There are thieves in Yuyang City. Zilong, Bailong, hurry up and go rescue people and kill the thieves first!" Liu Zhaoqing said to Zhao Yun, who had the fastest horse.

Then he continued towards Yuyang City with Zhang Liao.

Zhao Yun rode the white dragon into the county town ahead of time, and Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao followed closely behind and entered through the main gate.

The soldiers beside the gate had long disappeared, proving that a major incident had indeed occurred in Yuyang City.

After Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao entered Yuyang City, they heard a loud shout from Zhao Yun, who had arrived earlier, and a white spear light came from afar.

Almost at the same time, Liu Zhaoqing saw several flying soldiers rising from the ground in the distance.

"Wenyuan, follow me to kill these birdmen!"

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he immediately spurred his horse to continue charging in the direction of the flying soldiers. At the same time, he picked up the strong bow from the saddle, took an arrow, bent the bow and shot the arrow.

The arrow cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound and directly pierced the wing of a bird.

At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao also saw the soldiers of Yuyang County fighting with one or two flying soldiers on the street ahead.

As soon as they saw Liu Zhaoqing, the soldiers who were originally retreating were immediately energized and shouted "Marquis Changping is here!" For a moment, the soldiers' fighting spirit was rekindled.

Zhang Liao was also not polite. Holding a crescent halberd in his hand, he leaped on his horse and chopped at the two flying soldiers who were blocking his way.

The Hu soldiers on the flying birds died instantly, and the two birds that lost their owners' control were also killed by the soldiers on the ground.

Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao did not stop, because they knew the purpose of their coming here.

"Where is the fake emperor?!" Liu Zhaoqing asked the Yuyang soldiers along the way.

"In the northeast of the city! The prefect is fighting with him!" A soldier answered, pointing in the northeast direction.

Hearing this answer, Liu Zhaoqing rushed to the northeast without stopping. With Zhao Yun here and the flying soldiers on the west side, there would be no worries.

He had to intercept the false emperor, otherwise what would happen if he was taken away by the Hu people? Liu Zhaoqing didn't dare to imagine it.

Just as Liu Zhaoqing rode his horse to turn the corner, a cold light came from the right.

"Benefactor, be careful!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liao jumped directly onto Liu Zhaoqing's horse, then raised his halberd to block the sneak attack from the Hu soldiers.

The Hu flying soldier, whose sneak attack failed, uttered a curse, then controlled the huge bird under him and used its sharp claws to fly towards Zhang Liao.

Liu Zhaoqing obviously couldn't be entangled here like this, so he stood up and leaped to the left. After landing steadily on Zhang Liao's horse, he headed towards the northeast of the city alone.

At this moment, six flying soldiers were gathered in front of a ruddy-faced emperor wearing a luxurious dragon robe from the early Han Dynasty in the northeast of the city.

"Zhang Ju! Do you know what you are doing?!" Under the cover of soldiers fighting hard to kill the enemy, Yuyang prefect Zhang Ping pointed at the man who was protected by the foreign flying soldiers with great anger.

"What?" Zhang Ju laughed. "Zhang Ping, you don't like me on weekdays. Yuyang, which was supposed to be my governor, was handed over to you by Liu Yu. I just took back what was supposed to be mine!"

"Is this your reason for colluding with foreign races, betraying the Han people, and usurping the throne as the emperor?!" Zhang Ping shouted angrily.

"Collusion? Treason against Han? Who told you that?! The foreign races are merely submitting to my imperial majesty!" Zhang Ju stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Zhang Ping from a high platform. He was wearing an imperial robe and a crown, which made every word he said full of majesty.

"Liu Yu keeps saying that he wants to educate the foreign races with benevolence, but it would be better for me to directly use the power of the emperor to control these barbarians."

"Stupid!" Zhang Ping yelled.

"Do you really think that the aliens came to pick you up because they wanted to humiliate you, the fake emperor of the Han people?!"

"Hahaha, Zhang Ping, do you think I'm that stupid? Of course I know these Xianbei people have ulterior motives." Zhang Ju laughed, "But, am I not the same?"

"They lack the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I lack 100,000 elite soldiers."

"As long as I can make good use of this power, Hebei and the Central Plains, and even the entire grassland and China, will all be in my hands!"

"I will surpass the First Emperor who swept across the world, and I will also surpass Emperor Gaozu of Han who ended the chaotic times and founded the country. I will even surpass Emperor Shun and Emperor Yu, and become the first emperor in history to unify the grasslands and China!!"

Zhang Ju opened his arms, and the sleeves of his dragon robe fluttered in the wind. The imperial majesty emanating from him made the soldiers feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Only Yuyang Governor Zhang Ping still dared to raise his hand and point at the false emperor, but when he wanted to say something, he found that he couldn't say it.

"You are speechless, right?" Zhang Ju said with a smile, "I inherited the Mandate of Heaven from my great ancestor, and I also possess the abilities of my great ancestor. This is just a ray of the pressure of my destiny as the Son of Heaven."

As he spoke, Zhang Ju suddenly raised his finger to the sky and shouted, "From now on, I am no longer 'Zhang Ju'. I will surpass the Qin Emperor in merit and conquer thousands of miles of territory! I will become the only universal emperor in the history of China!"

This oath-like voice uttered by the Prince of Fortune was completely different from the oath uttered by ordinary people.

Thunder roared out of nowhere, and all the soldiers trembled unconsciously because of the emperor's oath. Even the birds of the Hu people's heavenly soldiers guarding beside them began to become restless.

When Zhang Ju saw the trembling Yuyang soldiers, he suddenly felt happy. All the grievances he had felt for years disappeared and he burst into laughter.

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, and at the same time a cold but extremely clear shout of contempt followed.

"How dare a mere rat thief compare himself to Yao and Shun? You traitorous dog should die under my arrows!"

Before Zhang Ju could see who was coming, he saw an arrow flying straight towards his forehead.

While he was stunned, fortunately a flying soldier beside him raised his sword to block the arrow, thus saving him from being killed instantly.

"Marquis Changping!"

When Zhang Ping turned around and saw Liu Zhaoqing, he was just as excited as the Yuyang soldiers before him.

At this time, the alien flying soldiers saw Liu Zhaoqing coming and felt that they could not delay any longer, so one of them grabbed Zhang Ju and put him on the back of a bird, wanting to replicate the way they took Zhang Chun away that night and take this fake emperor away as well.

How could Liu Zhaoqing let them leave so easily? He took three more arrows and put them on the bow. Then he silently recited the human book in his mind, communicating with Zhang Liao who was on his way to kill a group of Hu bandits not far away.

Purple flashes instantly appeared between Liu Zhaoqing's fingers, and three arrows, with the loud roar of a tiger, flew towards the Hu soldiers who were about to take off in the distance.

Three arrows directly pierced through the chest of two Hu flying soldiers and the heart of a bird.

And those soldiers who had recovered to normal, under the command of Zhang Ping, immediately rushed forward to kill the remaining Hu flying soldiers.

But just when Zhang Ju was about to be intercepted and killed on the spot, there was a sudden wave in the sky. Liu Zhaoqing looked up and saw two pitch-black holes appearing out of thin air in the sky.

This cave entrance is exactly the same as the one made by Lu Xi in the battle of Wuhuan Mountain. In other words, this is also the so-called power bestowed by the Holy Spirit.

The next second, everyone saw at least twenty Hu soldiers flying out of the cave.

This not only did not make Liu Zhaoqing afraid, but instead made him more determined to stop Zhang Ju.

The other party is willing to use this ability, which consumes a lot of energy, for Zhang Ju, which means that Zhang Ju is too important to them.

Almost at the same time, Liu Zhaoqing saw the divine general in white armor and riding a white horse stepping onto the eaves of the house on the left, while the cold-faced general in black armor and holding a crescent halberd in the house on the right also appeared in the corner of his eye.

Liu Zhaoqing urged the horse hard, stood up, and jumped off the horse's back.

“Zilong! Wenyuan! Follow me and kill them all!!”

Liu Zhaoqing, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who were coming from three directions, were like three ferocious beasts. No, their momentum was so strong that they were like extremely ferocious beasts.

The Han soldiers and the governor of Yuyang were stunned, while the Hu soldiers were as if they had seen a terrifying monster.
