196 AD
Spring of the third year of Xingping
This was destined to be the year when the Han people's last fig leaf was removed.
The effect of Dong Zhuo's title of Duke caused excitement among the princes of the entire Han Dynasty.
It is called a duchy, and its status is second only to that of the kings.
However, Dong Zhuo's title of Duke had already made his intentions clear, and it was only a matter of time before he became king.
If he wanted, he could be king now.
The price Dong Zhuo paid for being called a duke was that many aristocratic families continued to spread insults against him, and then most of the people followed suit.
But the Dong family has long been accustomed to this kind of abuse.
However, just as the criticism of Dong Zhuo's title of "Duke" had not yet died down, Liu Biao of Jingzhou proclaimed himself King of Chu and raised the banner of the Han Dynasty.
Although the Liu family's claim to the throne would also attract some criticism.
But judging from the current situation, the cost of Liu Biao becoming king is far lower than the benefits it brings.
After all, a traitor has been called a duke. If he, a relative of the Han royal family and the governor representing the Han Dynasty, is also called a duke, he will always feel a little inferior.
Shortly after Liu Biao became king, Yuan Shu, who controlled most of Yuzhou and most of Yangzhou, actually proclaimed himself emperor.
This is an old picture from the previous book, but I still think it fits the situation.
This station reports.
Yuan Shugong, the legitimate son of the Yuan family who had been dukes for four generations, was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's usurpation of the title of duke, so he chose to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Shouchun on the eighth day of March.
The country was named Chen and the reign was Zhongxing.
Yan Xiang was appointed as prime minister, Zhang Xun as general, Sun Xiang as general of cavalry, Sun Ce as general of chariots and cavalry, and Sun Ben as governor of Yangzhou.
兖州
Cao Cao, who had just mobilized his troops and was about to arrive at Xiaopei, reined in his horse.
"What did you say?"
"Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor?"
Cao Cao couldn't believe his ears and questioned the soldier who came to report.
"My lord, Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor."
"It has been half a month since Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor."
"Lead, Liu Biao of Jingzhou has declared himself King of Chu, claiming to support the Han Dynasty and eliminate traitors."
The soldier repeated it quickly.
"I can understand Liu Biao being called the King of Chu."
"Dong Zhuo is called Duke, so Liu Biao, as a relative, must make a statement."
"But what kind of person is he, Yuan Shu?"
Cao Cao stared in disbelief.
What a joke.
Liu Biao’s family is a member of the Liu family.
Even if the ancestors were from the Former Han Dynasty, not the Later Han Dynasty.
But after all, his surname is Liu, so he is from the same clan as Liu Xiu.
But you, Yuan Shu...how did you become emperor?
Even Dong Zhuo doesn’t dare!
You have to know that Dong Zhuo was such a bastard, but he only called himself a duke.
"My lord, we can no longer attack Xuzhou."
Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said seriously.
"I know."
"Send the order to retreat to Juancheng."
Cao Cao nodded and immediately reined in his horse and turned back.
Now it is not a question of attacking Xuzhou, but a question of attacking Yuan Shu.
Compared with Xuzhou, Yuzhou is the real fat sheep.
He had to annex Yuan Shu as quickly as possible and try to eat as much as possible.
...
Changan
Dong Yu, who was just about to set off for Luoyang, received a secret report from Heibingtai.
"This Yuan Shu is truly righteous!"
"He was afraid we would be scolded too badly, so he just took a big shit."
"I'm afraid the noble families will be dumbfounded now."
Dong Yu looked at the contents of the letter and couldn't help but speak.
During the time when my father was called Gong, the abuse from the Dong family became much louder.
But after Yuan Shu's disturbance, he could imagine what would happen next.
Those powerful families who originally sang praises for the Yuan family will definitely be forced to change their tone.
The aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty actually did not want to change the dynasty.
Because the existence of the Han Dynasty just fits the aristocratic families' pursuit of interests.
But now Yuan Shu has betrayed the interests of the aristocratic families.
Moreover, he had a premonition that even with the Dong family's title of Duke, he, the fake emperor, would be attacked by everyone.
Of course, Li Ru, the chief planner of this matter, wanted to see this result.
A plan to disrupt the country.
It is to make the world more chaotic.
