February 15th, early morning, Deyang Palace, Luoyang Beigong.

Under the protection of thousands of personal guards, Yuan Shu rushed to Luoyang City in vain and entered the already unowned palace overnight. His vanguard had just controlled the Luoyang City Gate the evening before.

For this moment, Yuan Shu gave up even sitting in the carriage and rarely chose to ride his horse on his own.

He has been living in a pampered manner for several years and has not done anything like riding a horse for more than fifty miles. When he dismounts, his legs are paralyzed and he can't stand firm if he doesn't support him.

However, the moment he saw Deyang Palace, he was still very strong: no matter what the final result in his life, he had reached the top.

During the rebellion of the Ten Constellations Eight years ago, he also led his troops to set fire to attack the palace, but only burned the Qingsou Gate on the side of the Nangong. Before he and Yuan Shao's soldiers reached the Wende Hall in the last Nangong entered, the Ten Constellations fled to the Beigong with the emperor. Lu Zhi and Li Su rescued the Queen Mother and King Chenliu who jumped off the bridge under the rest of the road.

Before he could achieve his full achievements, he often made Yuan Shu, who was ambitious, regretful. Later, he appointed Sun Jian to attack Dong to conquer Luoyang, but was stolen by Guan Yu and Zhu Jun. Today, he finally stepped into the palace with the attitude of the master of Beigong.

"Where should we go in the future? This time we took too much steps, and I was forced to do so. Why did Dong Cheng take the late emperor to Yique Pass and stay with me forever?

If the emperor was willing to be more cowardly, he would have to survive for a few days before his death and squeeze out a few valuable edicts to let the princes in the world kill each other, so that no matter whether they believe it or not, most of the spearhead will be concentrated on me..."

Yuan Shu stroked the armrest of the imperial seat in Deyang Hall, feeling a lot of emotion - of course he hadn't dared to be emperor yet, so he just occasionally used the self-proclaimed "I" in his inner activities, and had a taste of fantasy.

There were no eunuchs or outsiders in the hall, and Yuan Shu's personal guards were guarding the door, and there was no need to worry that anyone could see his presumption.

Before the reign of the army to support the king, the plan that Yuan Shu and Yang Hong and Yan Xiang discussed at the beginning was completely another version - he was just greedy, not stupid. Yuan Shu knew very well that stirring the world back into a state of chaos and profit from chaos did not mean that he would go to war with the princes in both east and west at the same time.

Yuan Shu was also very clear that he could not defeat the world. He was originally unable to breathe because he was held in the balance of the world that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao acquiesced, and could not strengthen the territory and wanted to move out the emperor.

If one of the parties can be declared as the "Enemy of the Conquest" with the emperor's edict, then Yuan Shu will pull the other party to destroy the enemy's side first and take the opportunity to seize a large piece of population territory from the enemy's enemy, so that there will be a foundation for continued expansion.

Yuzhou and Jingbei are located in the heart of the world and are in the four battles. They must not fight against all enemies on all sides at the same time. It is necessary to play balance with one pull and one fight.

In history, even when Yuan Shu was so powerful that he felt that "the Han Dynasty had halfway through my hands", he did not dare to go to war with the whole world. He was still trying to win over Lu Bu and regard Sun Ce as his help.

As a result, as soon as the war broke out, all the pre-war staff plans were unrestrained and did not follow the script at all.

Dong Cheng was not as tough as those powerful ministers who had used the monarch and power, and was willing to believe that the emperor was bound to act.

The emperor was not as weak as he had been held hostage by other powerful officials before, and he became strong and wanted to completely resist the enemy from Henan Yin.

What kind of morality is it that a powerful minister is not a powerful minister, and a cowardly king is not a cowardly king!

Finally, I took one step at a time to reach such an embarrassing situation.

After being upset and excited for a while, Yuan Shu turned around and sat on the imperial throne, asking Yang Hong and Yan Xiang who had just followed:

"What's the next step? I've come here. If I really offend the princes in the world, why don't I just think that the late emperor's revenge is a meritorious service and become emperor?"

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang were shocked when they heard this. If they proclaimed themselves emperor at this time, they would be completely exhausted and died. This is because they knew they had messed up, so they wanted to give up, and at least they would not be in vain for their life?

Yan Xiang struggled to dissuade him: "You... lord, the original plan was not like this. Even if the princes in the world believed that the late emperor died directly by Dong Cheng's hijacking, we were not as clean as the original plan. There must be princes saying, "If we had opened the door at that time and let Dong Cheng leave, the late emperor would not have died."

Such a reward for avenging the late emperor is probably not enough to support becoming emperor. Moreover, there are many powerful members of the Liu family in the world. At this moment, the Han Dynasty will be overthrown and will inevitably be besieged by all parties.

It would be better to try every means to falsely claim that before the late emperor was killed by Dong Cheng, he left an oral order on the grounds that the emperor had no descendants, and passed the throne to a royal family in the outer town. Some were Liu He, some were Liu Bei, or some were Liu Biao.

In this way, with the ambitions of all the princes of all sides, those who have not been passed on the throne by this will definitely promote this oral edict as a forgery and will not be recognized. However, those who have been passed on the throne by this will definitely win over us and fight with other princes who refuse to obey the edict. In this way, we can survive in adversity and develop."

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up: Yes, whether the princes in the world believe that "the late emperor was killed by Dong Cheng, and he avenged the late emperor" is actually not the key to whether the evidence is conclusive.

The evidence is definitely inconclusive. All the killers are killed and there is no evidence to die.

The key to this question is whether the princes are willing to believe it and whether it will be beneficial to them after they believe it. As long as they are willing, this fig leaf is enough at present.

However, if he really uses this trick, it means that Yuan Shu has lost the qualification to become emperor in the short term. Next time, he has to find another opportunity and have a major achievement, giving him an excuse that "only those who are virtuous in the world are here."

Forget it, give up on becoming emperor first.

Yuan Shu made a decision: "After a while, I will let all the ministers who remained in Luoyang go to court. I will serve as a regency in the state and send the ministers to Liu Bei and Yuan Shao to contact him to see who would accept the 'description of the late emperor's will't help but give us many benefits when receiving the decree, and then give them a decree of the decree!"

...

Due to the delay in information transmission, the princes from all sides only received this explosive news several days after the emperor was killed.

As for Yuan Shu's contact messenger, it is impossible to travel 600 miles to speed up, so it will naturally come two or three days later.

So much so that in the eyes of many people, it seems that they had just heard that Yuan Shu raised an army to support the king. After all, the emperor passed away within a day or two. After all, the news of Yuan Shu raised an army does not need to be too urgent, so the transmission speed is not as fast as the emperor's death, and it seems that it is coming one after another.

"Yuan Shu is so powerful that his troops are so fast. He took Luoyang after three or four days of fighting, including the time he attacked from Xincheng and Yique Pass all the way? Is this impossible?"

All the princes were surprised that Yuan Shu had obviously exceeded his level of advancement speed, and then fell into extreme indignation for the regicide. Fortunately, Yuan Shu found the fig leaf "Dong Cheng tried to hold the lord and failed to tear the vote", which could at least delay for a few days.

So, before the secret envoy who said that "the late emperor left an oral order" arrived, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei had summoned senior staff to secretly discuss their attitude towards the matter. The scope of this kind of discussion was very small, with only three or four top confidant advisers participating, because after all, the topic was too big and rude.

"Do you believe that the late emperor was killed by Dong Cheng and Yuan Shu took revenge" This is a matter of fact. The conclusion of the factual issue should be realistic. How can the results be different due to interests? Therefore, this cannot be discussed publicly.

On February 17th, at the General's Mansion of Yecheng, Hebei, Yuan Shao summoned Ju Su, Xu You, Shen Pei, and Guo Tu to discuss the matter. Even Tian Feng's violent temper was not qualified to attend, for fear that Tian Feng would go out to gossip because his opinions were not adopted.

Yuan Shao expressed his indignation first: "Your Majesty was killed, and the world was shocked. We, General Du, governor of the three armies, and decreed. We cannot eliminate the enemy's difficulties. We have been unable to eliminate the holy teachings of Your Majesty, and within the Liuhe River, but it is not safe. Now we are even more unable to stop this drastic change. We are ashamed of being a minister. What can we do if we do this for the sake of our plan?"

Ju Su also seemed to be extremely sad and angry, and said generously: "Lord, Yuan Shu is the same clan as you, and he is so crazy and rebellious that he will be putting His Majesty in danger, regardless of whether he avenged His Majesty or not. Therefore, at most it is not considered the crime of regicide, but the other crimes will inevitably be unavoidable.

The lord still draws a clear line with him as soon as possible, and takes advantage of the murder of the late emperor to let the King of Yan become emperor, inherit the will of the late emperor, and clear the world. Those who do not recognize the King of Yan as emperor can also punish rebels and destroy them in a legitimate way.

At the same time, after the King of Yan became emperor, he could take advantage of Yuan Shu’s unpreparedness to attack the prefectures and counties he occupied, especially to hide back to Luoyang. In this way, the reputation of the lord will surely be awesome to China. If Yuan Shu sends an envoy to ask for harmony, the lord can temporarily give him a private conspiracy and let him relax his vigilance, but he must not reconcile with him publicly, so as not to cause his bad reputation."

Ju Su's words, to be impartial, can be regarded as respecting the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, supporting Liu He was something Yuan Shao had thought about in the morning. He had been thinking about it for five or six years (since he wanted to support Liu Yu), now that the opportunity is delivered to him, how can he not seize it?

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was not alone in his side who paid attention to respecting the Han Dynasty.

Xu You, who has always been without the Han Dynasty, frivolously advised: "Lord, it is good to respect the King of Yan as the emperor, but I think Yuan Shu was the first emperor Bintian this time. It should be that he was rigid and unstoppable when implementing the strategy, and he was unable to adapt to it, so he backfired.

Nowadays, Yuan Shu must be frightened and regretful, and it is difficult to get rid of the tiger. If he is forced to force him, he will definitely defend all the troops. Although he is with Yuan Shu's ability, if he is besieged by the princes of all sides, he will inevitably be destroyed for two or three years.

But in the past two or three years, does our army have to pay a price? How many prefectures and counties under Yuan Shu will be taken away by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and even Liu Biao and Sun Ce? How can our army completely annex the territory of Yuan Shu, which was fearless and eager to rely on?
