The jade seal in Gongsun Shu's hand was stolen by a rebellious son in Hanzhong when Wang Mang fled south last year. Gongsun Shu's younger brother Gongsun Hui took it away and offered it. Gongsun Shu's ambition to become emperor was also planted in his heart at that time.

The jade seal fell into his hands without bias. What is this? This is destiny!

The "White Dragon Gift Seal" that happened in Jinguan City was naturally a self-written and directed farce. The king's brother Gongsun Hui, who really presented the seal, arrived in Langzhong County, Ba County and visited a respected hermit, who wanted to persuade him to come out of the mountain to assist the Gongsun family. In the words of Gongsun Shu, "If you can get Qiao Xuan's words, everyone will believe those prophecies and divinations!"

Gongsun Hui lowered his posture and paid a visit to the old man in yellow in front of him and said, "I heard of Qiao Gong for a long time, but it's a pity that he was in a different county at that time and could not come to visit him."

Qiao Xuan had a cold attitude. He was also an old minister of the Han family. He was proficient in the "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn Annals". During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, he entered the court as a rude. When Emperor Cheng wanted to make Zhao Feiyan the queen, Qiao Xuan wrote a letter to advise him, but was not adopted, so he left the office.

He waited until twenty years later when Emperor Ping of Han, when he was invited back to the court by Wang Mang to serve as a doctor, and was once confused by An Han Gong. However, after Wang Mang became the "Emperor of the Conduct", he saw his desire clearly, changed his name, abandoned his official position and returned home, and lived in seclusion for more than ten years.

Gongsun Hui smiled and said, "The King of Shu has long admired the name of the king and has hired him several times in a row, but Qiao Gong has not been hired for a while. So, the King of Shu can only ask me to prepare a ceremony for him to come and conquer him. I hope Qiao Gong will not refuse again!"

Qiao Xuan still closed his eyes slightly in the bamboo hut: "I am old and I am afraid I can't serve the King of Shu, so I'd better ask for another wise man."

"Please." Gongsun Hui told Qiao Xuan something: "Ren Wen, a sorcerer from the same county as Qiao Gong, came to Chengdu."

Duke Ren Wen was a famous alchemist in Shu. He was born in the secret of Tianguan Fengjiao. When he was on a business trip to Yizhou, he could see from the celestial phenomena that the prefect of Yueli in Shu was about to rebel. No one believed it. He was the only one who ran away. As a result, the rest of his colleagues were killed.

After that, several other cases of rainfall were accurately predicted. Even An Hangong noticed this person, and was appointed as a Sikong officer, who specialized in water conservancy, and regarded it as a professional counterpart.

But Duke Ren Wen saw that the Han Dynasty was about to end and thought it would be a good idea not to disturb this mess, so he resigned from his post. Five years later, Wang Mang indeed usurped the Han Dynasty and asked Duke Ren Wen to go to Chang'an. Duke Ren Wen recalled Wang Mang's face and felt that he could not be an emperor for a long time. So he lived in seclusion until now and often had contact with Qiao Xuan. Locals often say: "Duke Ren Wen is unparalleled in wisdom, Qiao Jun Huang, and has great virtue." They are called the two elders of Langzhong.

Unexpectedly, my old friend could not bear the pressure of Gongsun Shu and was forced to come out. When he thought of this world, they could not even be Boyi and Shuqi, so Qiao Xuan felt inexplicably sad.

Gongsun Hui said: "Duke Ren Wen is proficient in astrology, while Duke Qiao is good at the "Yi". The King of Shu hopes that the two can be the right and left national teachers."

But Qiao Xuan was only willing to be a Han minister and had a firm attitude. It was not easy for this person to bribe him, because the Qiao family itself was a big surname in Langzhong and had a wealth of tens of millions. Gongsun Hui had to threaten: "King Qiao, the king is already in good faith, and the court is willing to give up. It is really not advisable to refuse again, and it will cause disaster for oneself!"

However, Qiao Xuan, a tough guy, was still unmoved. Gongsun Hui could not really force poison to poison him to death, right? He had to settle for the second best: "It's okay if you don't want to conquer. I have the birth date of the King of Shu, so I hope Qiao Gong can take a look."

Gongsun Hui then handed a piece of silk to Qiao Xuan: "Can you become the emperor when the King of Shu's birthday?"

As long as Qiao Xuan nodded and recited a book for the King of Shu, Gongsun Hui could submit a smooth work.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan only took a look and sneered.

"This birthday is not very good. According to the "Yi" principle, if you can dominate the king for a while, it is impossible for you to be an emperor!"

After saying that, he threw the silk back to Gongsun Hui.

Gongsun Hui endured it and said in a low voice: "Please take a closer look at Gong Qiao!"

"No need!" Qiao Xuan said stubbornly: "The throne is a magical weapon in the world, and it has its own rule. The world thinks of the Han Dynasty. The surname Liu should be restored, so you cannot fight for it. This is my reply!"

Gongsun Hui was angry: "Qiao Xuan, everyone said that my brother was a little king, so he could be an emperor! After Duke Ren Wen entered Chengdu, he quoted prophecies and divination for the King of Shu, saying that Confucius wrote the "Spring and Autumn Annals" and cut off the twelve dukes for the red system, which shows that Emperor Gao of Han to Emperor Ping of Han had passed twelve generations, and the list was completed, and a surname could not be ordered to be emperor again."

"There is also a "Records of the Law of Luyun" that said: Emperor Chang was abolished and Gongsun was appointed. "Guodixiang" said: Emperor Xuanyuan was ordered and Gongsun was held. "Restoring the Gods" said: The Western Prefect, Yimao Jin."

"This shows that the Western prefect should defeat the Liu family of Mao and Jin. The fortune of the five virtues is that Huang inherits the red and white inherits the yellow. Jin is the Bai virtue in the West, and the Wang family is the Wang family, and the order is obtained."

"Not to mention that my brother has a strange hand and has also obtained the White Dragon to offer the jade seal. If you are so destined to be, why should you be obsessed with it?"

Qiao Xuan was unmoved and retorted: "The 'Gongsun' mentioned in the map is the disease of Emperor Xuan of Han. Dangtu Gao, the one who replaced the Han Dynasty, was Dangtu Gao, was Gongsun Shu Dangtu Gao? He used palm lines as auspiciousness, and Wang Mang and others did it back then, why bother to follow the example? Is it because he thought that the kingly proficiency was too long?"

Gongsun Hui could no longer bear it, so he stood up and cursed, "What an old man!"

With this shout, all the black-clothed guards waiting outside rushed in. They were the dead soldiers trained by Gongsun Shu, and they all drew their swords to threaten Qiao Xuan.

OK, King Gongsun Shu, who was respectful to the wise and humble, finally revealed his hidden poisonous fangs. Qiao Xuan sighed to the sky and said generously: "The great sage of Tang Yao, Xu You are ashamed of being an official; Zhou Wu is at the virtue of his virtue, Bo Yi is starving. Who is the only one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the

Although his teeth were about to be broken, Gongsun Hui was still afraid of Qiao Xuan's reputation and killed him. The whole Langzhong was about to blow up the nest. In addition, Qiao Xuan's son cried and kowtowed to beg for mercy for his father: "My father is so confused. The Qiao family is willing to support the King of Shu to be the emperor. Now there are strict enemies in the east of the country, and the military troops are everywhere. The country may not be sufficient for military funds. I am willing to pay tens of millions of dollars to redeem my father's death."

When Gongsun Hui returned to Chengdu, his brother's emperor ceremony had been prepared. When his younger brother said that Qiao Xuan, the stubborn old man, refused to submit, Gongsun Shu frowned, but soon stretched out.

"A person who is looking for a sword at this moment doesn't have to worry about him."

"When I first called Shu King a year ago, I was still worried about people's hearts, but now..."

Gongsun Shu got a whole Hanzhong County from the collapse of the Green Han Dynasty, and the Fu Han Sect in Shu was also hit hard by this. In addition to Qiao Xuan, many people began to change their ranks and do things for Gongsun Shu.

"The Han family has been exhausted and they are not afraid of it. The biggest opponent of Gu is Wang Lun of Wei!"

Feng Yan entered Chengdu last year and built an unbreakable alliance between Wei and Shu. Both sides even sent envoys to each other.

But as Gongsun Shu unified Yizhou, the fifth reunification became an obstacle to his further development.

"Do you know why I am in a hurry to become an emperor?"

Gongsun Shu asked his younger brother with the words on his palm.

"One of the reasons is that before Wang Mang's destruction, he dreamed that a Jin man stood up in Weiyang Palace. Those who inherited the new house must be Jinde! Never let the fifth reunion take the lead."

This reason sounds shocking, but Gongsun Shu did believe in this as much as Wang Mang. The sorcerer he invited determined that the King of Shu was Jin De based on various theories, and his sex was still fair. However, according to Gongsun Shu's rumor, the Fifth Reun was also planning to become emperor, and he was also interested in Jin De, and the two sides were in a slut.

Gongsun Shu was afraid that he would be said to be attached to the fifth reunion, so he simply took the lead, as if he could seize the fortune of the fifth reunion by deciding the Jinde first!

In mid-September, Gongsun Shu held a grand ceremony in Chengdu, officially proclaiming himself emperor, and his country's name was changed. It was no longer Shu, but called "Cheng", also known as "Cheng". His color was still white, and Gongsun Shu was named Baidi and Jianyuan Longxing.

If this is called the fifth reunion, he will definitely ask: "The country is called Cheng Jia, why is the year name not called Li Kai?"

...

Although Gongsun Shu was superstitious, he was not confused as much as Wang Mang. He would not think that "I have the jade seal in my hand, and I have it all in the world."

If you want to compete, what you need to rely on is the army's struggle and plan. In the past few days, you often summon Prime Minister Li Xiong to plan future strategies.

"More than a year ago, the Prime Minister advised me to settle in Shu, with Hanzhong in the north, blocking Bao and being slanted and dangerous; to guard Ba County in the east, resisting the mouth of Guanguan, if there is no profit, stick to farm, and if there is no profit, send troops to cover the land. Now Yizhou is in danger, and the fertile field has been in my hands for thousands of miles. According to the Prime Minister, is the situation outside now favorable or not?"

Li Xiong did not hesitate to think: "Of course it is beneficial!"

"Although King Lun of Wei was strong for a while, he defeated Liu Bosheng and Wei's clan and monopolized Sili. However, his north was forced by the Huns and Hu Han, and left Longyou in the west and could not be destroyed. Now his troops were out of the east, and Guanzhong was empty."

"The green forest also collapsed in time and was divided into pieces. Nanyang Hao's right-hand combat against the Red Eyebrow, Jingzhou Qinfeng called himself King Li of Chu, and Jiangdong Liu Xiu occupied the Wuhui and each ruled independently."

"Only Yizhou Wangu is a great opportunity to explore the outside world!"

Gongsun Shu also thought so. He took advantage of the excuse of becoming an emperor and allowed the soldiers to rest in the remaining months this year. After the spring plow next year, he could expand outward.

But after all, Bashu only has the power of one state, and its population and food are not as rich as that of the King of Wei. It is impossible to "want all of them", so it has to make a choice.

"Next, will it be to cross the mountains north to see the Three Qins, or to cross the river south to shake Jingzhou?"

The former was proposed by the Wei military officer in the summer, saying that Longyou was willing to conspire with the King of Shu to Guanzhong, and was willing to threaten Youfufeng from west of Longshan to attract Wan Hu's troops. He asked Gongsun Shu to advance with a surprise army from Baoxie Road.

The unbreakable alliance has broken down. Gongsun Shu saw that the Fifth Reunification King's business was booming, and it was indeed a bit difficult to rest and jealous. He wanted to repeat the route of Liu Bang in the past, and to cover the Sanqin in Bashu and Han, and then annex the three Qins. What's more, his hometown is Maoling. If the people of the Five Ling are able to follow the Fifth Reunification, they cannot follow him?

But Li Xiong believed that Longyou could not trust and said, "Although Longyou was defeated by Fufeng, he always retained the title of Emperor Liu Ying. After all, he was the orthodox crown prince of Emperor Ping of Han, and Wei Xiang was also a famous scholar in Guanxi. If he had the opportunity to return to Chang'an and build the orthodox Han family again, His Majesty would instead add another enemy."

Li Xiong admired Feng Yan quite well, but the other party looked at him but didn't like him, thinking that this person's words were very false.

What's more, the fifth reunion has a solid foundation in Guanzhong, and all the powerful men who should be defeated have been killed. The refugee Mengwei, who farmed in Shanglin, gave him food and clothing, was quite loyal. It was not so easy to cross the ridges and miles. The way was broken, and it was even more difficult than Han Xin secretly traveling to Chen Cang. But in the end, the Shu army traveled through mountains and rivers, but made wedding dresses for the Long soldiers!

Therefore, Li Xiong believed that he only had to coax Wei Xiang to depose Liu Ying and then give a heavy blow to the Han forces. Then he asked Longyou to send troops to help Feng, the north, and make the Wei army exhausted. As for the family power, he would still go to the southern line first to make the profits the most!

Compared with the Wei State, Jingzhou is now divided into various parts. Nanyang's powerful men, Chimei, Chu Li, the prefect of the four counties of Jingnan, and even the Green Forest Emperor Liu Xuan who crossed the south are all in a melee, which just allows Yizhou's soldiers to understand, recover and defeat them one by one!

Let Longyou touch the hard stones, and pick up soft persimmons and pinch them first.

This is also the reason why Li Xiong supported Gongsun Shu to proclaim himself emperor early: Yan Cen, the surrendered general in Hanzhong, was granted the title of king and pacified, and some forces in Jingzhou must also issue a real king's title to win over.

Li Xiong proposed his strategic idea to Gongsun Shu:

"Your Majesty's next step should be to help the Rong in the west, to pacify Yiyue in the south, to stabilize the internal situation, and then to have Jing, which is beneficial!"

...

Gongsun Shu agreed with Li Xiong's plan and engraved more seals of the world's Mushou and princes, and prepared to send them to the forces of all counties in Jingzhou to give up the incompetent Liu Xuan and follow the truth of "Longxing".

On the one hand, he began to operate the Jiangzhou (Chongqing) in Bajun and build the Chilou Polan Ship to prepare for the next year's military conquest of Jingzhou.

In mid-September, Wei Xiang of Longyou also received the seal of "Da Sikong" and "King Fu'an" sent by the envoy of Yizhou. He felt that the seal of the king was quite hot, making his face full of fever - the kind of anger and shame.

Wei Xiao endured the urge to smash the seal on the messenger's face and asked someone to take him down to rest. He only complained to his military advisor Fang Wang:

"Although my power is not as strong as the King of Wei, Longshu is enough to compete with each other. How can we be ashamed to be a minister?"

Weixiang was very happy to call him King Weixiang, but he was really unwilling to bow to Gongsun Shu.

If you occupy Yizhou, I own Liangzhou. The population may be slightly inferior to you, but Longliang horses are strong! The people of Liangzhou are used to looking down on the people of Yizhou. During the Han Dynasty, the barbarians in Shu frequently rebelled, and the court basically transferred the children of six counties to suppress them nearby. There are still some psychological advantages.

"Gongsun Shu asked me to abandon the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty and nominally subordinate him to attack Guanzhong with the Long League. He was really insincere."

The more glorious it was to support the Han Emperor, the more embarrassing Longyou is now. He was trapped in Longyou, Liangzhou, and could not defeat the east, looked down on the south, and the Huns and Han in the north were even more feudal, and he had no way to start if he wanted to unite with others.

Wei Xiang knew that if he deposed the Han Emperor, the old scholars of the Han Dynasty headed by Liu Xin would be in an uproar first. If they surrendered to Gongsun Shu, the children of the six counties would also have to blow up the nest, and they would have internal conflicts.

In addition to being angry, Wei Xiang even said anger: "Compared to this, I directly surrender to the fifth relationship and suffer less harm!"

Originally, it was just a complaint, but Fang Wang smiled and said, "It's not impossible to have a peace talk with the King of Wei in the momentum?"
