Chang'an.
After Liu Bei returned from Jingzhou, he seemed to see the hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty.
Whether it is economic, military, or cultural aspects, the emerging Han regime has gradually surpassed Cao Wei and Sun Wu.
As long as it develops steadily for twenty years and waits for the next generation to grow up, Shu Han can easily handle it even if it faces two countries at the same time.
In particular, Liangzhou, which was in dire straits and was waiting to be revitalized, has gradually revived under Zhang Ji's governance.
In addition, the Silk Road re-established contact with the Western Regions, allowing Han products to be easily sold to countries in the Western Regions.
It's just that the news sent by Zhuge Liang today made Liu Bei, who had not been angry for a long time, use his double sword again!
Uh-huh!
Liu Bei split the desk table into two pieces with one sword, and all the officials did not dare to say anything.
"Your Majesty... Sun Quan, with the support of Cao Pi, has proclaimed himself emperor with Jianye, and the country is named Da Wu."
Zhuge Liang tried his best to stay calm, but he didn't know that Zhuge Wolong was also angry.
Sun Quan's move was tantamount to betraying the Sun-Liu alliance.
However, it seemed that no one except Cao Pi could satisfy the temptation of becoming emperor.
"Blue-eyed kid, Jiangdong rat!"
"His father Sun Jian is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and his brother Sun Ce still considers himself a Han minister even though he is in the east of the Yangtze River!"
"How virtuous and capable is Sun Quan? He arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor! If I don't attack Sun Quan, I fear I won't be able to face the ancestors of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bei said angrily: "Come here, tell me to tell you that I will go on a personal expedition with Mang'er Yujia to attack Sun Quan!"
call……
When they heard that Liu Bei was going to personally conquer the country, all the officials in the Shu Han Dynasty were a little worried.
"Your Majesty, Sun Quan is in a corner, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"I hope your majesty will put the world first, and for the time being, think of yourself as a snake with Sun Quanxu!"
"After Cao Wei is eliminated, it will not be too late to attack Sun Quan!"
Lu Xun bowed and took a step forward. He had to advise him on this matter.
"Your Majesty, Cao Pi is a traitor to the country who usurped the Han Dynasty!"
"Sun Quan? He's just a clown!"
"I hope your Majesty will attack the traitors first, and then take Sun Wu!"
Fazheng also came forward to advise. Under the persuasion of the two advisers, the officials bowed and bowed again.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Liu Bei took a deep breath. No one was more aggrieved than him.
Both sides united in the Battle of Chibi, and Liu Bei always regarded Sun Quan as an ally.
The result turned out to be bad. Sun Quan not only attacked from behind several times, but now he completely overstepped his authority and proclaimed himself emperor, becoming the opposite of Liu Bei.
How could Liu Bei trust such an ally?
"Prime Minister, what do you think I should do?"
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang. This was the person he trusted the most, and he also hoped to get the answer he wanted from him.
"Sun Quan betrayed the alliance, and this time he completely fell out with me, the great man."
"Your Majesty, this is not a bad thing, but it proves that I, a big man, have made the two countries Wei and Wu fearful."
"If your majesty wants to show off a moment of bravery, Na Liang suggests that your majesty take charge of the expedition in person, forgetting the hatred of the country and the family, and forgetting the mission of reviving the Han Dynasty."
Zhuge Liang's words seemed to be supporting Liu Bei's crusade against Sun Quan, which made the officials a little worried.
"What does Prime Minister mean by this? If we attack Sun Quan, how can Cao Wei sit idly by and do nothing?"
Lu Xun was anxious, and Fazheng was also anxious.
"Perhaps it was Cao Pi's wiliness that shifted the conflict to Sun Quan's side!"
"At that time, he, Cao Pi, will be able to make a profit and watch me and Sun Wu fight each other!"
Fazheng sighed and said, "I don't know who could have devised such a trick for Cao Pi. Sun Quan is really short-sighted!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and spoke again to persuade.
"Your Majesty, Sun Quan is already broken. The prince went to sea this time just to deal with Sun Quan."
"If everything is properly deployed, Your Majesty can give an order and all three armies of our Han Dynasty will come out to completely eliminate Sun Quan."
"But if there is a stalemate in the war and Cao Pi takes the opportunity to attack Jingzhou or recapture Chang'an, does Your Majesty think this deal is suitable?"
Both Chang'an and Jingzhou were the fruits of Liu Bei's hard work, and he would never allow such strategic locations to be lost.
Returning to the old capital allowed all people in the world to see the hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty.
The recapture of Jingzhou led to Cao Pi's successive defeats, which completely shook the morale of Cao Wei's army.
"If Your Majesty is unfortunately defeated, wouldn't our journey to the Han Dynasty's revival be abandoned halfway?"
"Sun Quan's proclaiming himself emperor will definitely be heard by the prince."
"As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. I hope your Majesty will bear with it for the time being."
Zhuge Liang's words were reasonable and well-founded. Liu Bei's anger at this time had also subsided somewhat, and he was much calmer.
Compared with Sun Quan who arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, it was obvious that reviving the Han Dynasty was the top priority.
"If it weren't for the advice of all my dear friends, I would have almost made a big mistake!"
"Come on, come and give Sun Quan a big gift!"
"Cao Pi thought that I would get angry and lose my temper, but I decided to do the opposite!"
Zhuge Liang smiled knowingly when he saw Liu Bei acting like this.
Your Majesty, you really have the style of the great ancestor!
That was when my parents were captured by Xiang Yu, and they were not afraid at all. They still laughed and teased each other, "If you want to cook my father, please let me have a taste."
It was this gangster mentality that allowed Liu Bang to finally defeat Xiang Yu and establish the Han Dynasty's 400-year foundation.
"Prime Minister, the Three Kingdoms of Longzhong stood in power back then, and now they have been completely formed."
"I, the great Han, will definitely devour Wei and destroy Wu, and finally rule the world!"
"In the future, I hope that all of you, my dear friends, will give you more advice, and I will definitely do what is right."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he ordered a banquet, which seemed not to be affected by Sun Quan's proclaimed emperor at all.
…
Jiaozhou, Cangwu County.
Liu Mang had secretly visited Chencang and successfully left Yizhou.
With Gan Ning, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang stationed and managing Yizhou, he was quite relieved.
The chess piece to restrain Sun Quan in the future has fallen, and Liu Mang can return to Jingzhou and continue to pay attention to the war in the Central Plains.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Cangwu County and met with Xu Shu and others, he received the news that Sun Quan had proclaimed himself emperor.
"Sun Zhongmou is really a bad chess player."
"I could have had a good time between me, the Han Dynasty, and Cao Wei, but now I've ended up in a situation where both sides are unhappy."
"Cao Pi supports it on the surface, but in his heart he will definitely resent Sun Quan's arrogance; His Majesty, not to mention, has listed Sun Quan as his mortal enemy."
After Xu Shu met, he told Liu Mang everything.
"What you said is true, but we big men also have to express our opinions."
"When Sun Quan ascends the throne, he will definitely invite the important ministers of Cao and Wei to come, so I will go and join in the fun."
Liu Mang wanted to go to Jianye in person, which surprised Xu Shu.
"Your Highness, why do you need to take risks like Sun Quan, a traitor like this?"
"No! When I congratulated Emperor Wu on his enthronement, how could I say that I was risking my life?"
"Then who does Your Highness plan to bring? Zilong, Yun Chang, or Yide?"
"Well...Zhu Rong, Xingcai and Yin screen!"
Liu Mang only brought three female generals with him, so Xu Shu did not dare to let him go.
"Your Highness, I am not talented at banning, and I am willing to take five hundred soldiers to escort you to Jianye!"
Yu Jin took a step forward and bowed to salute, but Man Chong knew clearly that this colleague was paying attention and following Liu Mang wholeheartedly.
"Wen Ze is willing to go, and I can rest easy during this trip!"
