Chapter 1563: North, South, Central and Three Han Dynasties coexist (Part 2)
The young emperor Liu Bian, whom the world remembers, had already been poisoned to death by Dong Zhuo's order along with Empress He and Concubine Tang.
But no one expected that Liu Bian not only did not die, but also regained the throne in Chengdu with the support of Shu King Liu Ji.
Where did Liu Bian's move put his younger brother Liu Xie in Luoyang?
Jingnan, Changsha.
Looking at the Chu King's canonization edict in his hand, Liu Xiu's eyes were full of unexcitedness. Of course, he was not excited to be crowned king, but was excited that someone finally stood up to fight against Qin Hao.
The Qin army's attitude towards the Chu army was extremely bad, and they suppressed the Chu army from beginning to end.
When Liu Xiu was still weak, the Qin army suppressed the Chu army. After Liu Xiu became stronger, the Qin army continued to suppress the Chu army.
Qin Hao founded the Luoyang court, and Liu Xiu took the initiative to write a letter of support, but Qin Hao isolated him from the court, and later suppressed the Chu army whenever he had the opportunity.
This is just like suppressing the Chu army is the national policy of the Qin army, and no one is allowed to waver.
Liu Xiu didn't know where he offended Qin Hao, and why he was only targeting himself from the beginning to the end, but he also fully understood that the Chu army would not be able to truly grow without overthrowing the Qin army.
Therefore, Ambassador Liu Jixian invited Liu Xiu to join the Chengdu court, and Liu Xiu agreed without even thinking about it. Finally, someone took the initiative to take the lead in dealing with Qin Hao. How could he let go of such an opportunity.
In addition, with Liu Ji standing in front of him, Qin Hao would seek revenge from Liu Ji, while Liu Xiu could hide behind and accumulate strength to strengthen himself. .
"See the King of Chu. The King of Shu has sent more troops to Baidi City, and the King of Tang has also sent more troops to Wuguan and Tongguan. Your Majesty has an order, asking the King of Chu to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River to contain the Qin army in the north of Jing."
After hearing the words of the Shu army envoy, Liu Xiu smiled calmly and said: "I accept the imperial edict."
The envoy from the four counties left with a satisfied look on his face. As soon as he left, Deng Yu stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, do we really want to obey Liu Ji's orders?"
"Huh, if you want to imitate Qin Hao and hold the emperor hostage to command the princes, Liu Ji is a bit too young."
Liu Xiu smiled mockingly and said calmly: "Liu Ji wants to use me, and I can also use him. This time, I will give him a plank road to seduce Chen Cang secretly."
Immediately Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Yu, you will lead an army of 30,000, pretending to be an army of 100,000, and stationed in the Jiangfang camp to frighten the Qin army.
I will personally lead 100,000 Nanjun troops southward to Jiaozhou to completely resolve Hong Xiuquan's troubles and unify Jiaozhou. "
"promise."
At this time, it was the best time for Liu Xiu to attack Jiaozhou.
Jiangdong Sun Jian led the army to attack the important town of Hefei for the second time. Although Liu Ji did not directly fight the Qin army, his move to increase troops in Baidi City also contained the Qin army in northern Jing.
Therefore, this is definitely the best time for Liu Xiuyi to unify Jiaozhou. Even if he has an alliance with Liu Ji, he will never let go of this opportunity.

Luoyang, Imperial Palace
"The emperor is really not dead? And he even proclaimed himself emperor?"
Liu Xie gritted his teeth and asked, with complex expressions in his eyes.
After Kong Rong and Ma Rixi looked at each other, Kong Rong said: "This is true. King Hongnong was indeed supported by Shu Ni to proclaim himself emperor, and he also ennobled various princes and declared that your majesty is a false emperor."
Boom...
"That's nonsense."
Liu Xie hammered the document angrily and said coldly: "Although I was appointed by Dong Zhuo, I have bowed to heaven and offered sacrifices to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. I have been supported by hundreds of officials and recognized by the princes of the world. How can I not be orthodox?
Did Liu Ji think that by holding the emperor's brother hostage and forcibly supporting him as emperor, he could gain the title of orthodoxy? It was just a dream. "
Ma Rixi said: "Your Majesty, you are the orthodox one. There is no doubt about it. All other emperors are false emperors who intend to divide the world.
Liu Bian proclaimed himself emperor, and the imperial court must not ignore it. Your Majesty, please order the King of Qin to send troops to attack him. "
Hearing what Ma Rixi said, Liu Xie frowned and asked: "But now most of the army in the DPRK is used to conquer Hebei, and there is no way to conquer Yizhou? What's more, isn't it a two-front war now?"
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether you send troops or not. Your Majesty, your attitude of not compromising with rebellion must be shown. Otherwise, how will the world view your Majesty? What if everyone in the world becomes emperor?" Ma Rixi said.
Liu Xie was thoughtful when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice: "It makes sense. Send an edict to the King of Qin to send troops to conquer the false emperor of Yizhou. At the same time, issue an edict to spread throughout the world to denounce Liu Ji for his rebellion and expose his true face."
Although Liu Xie's edict did not allow Qin Hao to send troops, it still had an effect. Most people in the world recognized the Luoyang court as orthodox. Liu Xie's edict completely turned Liu Ji's Chengdu court into rebellion.
From then on, the Luoyang court and the Chengdu court were completely at odds with each other.
Jizhou, Yecheng.
Liu Che had come to Yecheng in person from Youzhou to reach an alliance with the three parties and prepare many matters for proclaiming himself emperor. However, he did not expect that he would receive the news that Liu Bian proclaimed himself emperor just after arriving in Yecheng, and that Liu Ji and Liu Ji would become emperor. The canonization edict issued to him in the name of Bian.
"Haha, Liu Ji is really generous. He directly made me the King of Yan. Unlike Qin Hao, who is a member of the Han clan, I am just a duke."
Liu Che sneered and said sarcastically, calling Liu Ji by his first name without any respect for the new emperor Liu Bian.
"I also received Liu Ji's edict to become the king." Yuan Shao said calmly.
"So is this prince."
Han Xin threw the edict on the ground with a look of disgust, abandoning Liu Ji's title of King of Han.
And Song Jiang, who had put down the civil strife, also received Liu Ji's canonization edict, but the one he was conferred was not a king, but a duke.
Liu Che, Yuan Shao, Han Xin, and Song Jiang, these four princes from Hebei, are now gathered in Yecheng for the purpose of proclaiming themselves emperor and establishing a dynasty. Naturally, they cannot accept the invitation of the Chengdu court.
Wang Mang, who rushed back in time, smiled lightly after seeing this scene and said: "I'm afraid the other princes have also received it. We must speed up here, otherwise Liu Ji will steal all the limelight."
After Yuan Shao, Han Xin and Song Jiang looked at each other, they half-knelt together with Wang Mang and shouted: "See your majesty."
Seeing this, Liu Che suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I will love you all my life."
Shortly after Liu Ji supported Liu Bian to proclaim himself emperor and founded the Chengdu imperial court, Liu Che also ascended the throne in Chengdu with the support of the princes of Hebei, established his capital in Jixian County, Youzhou, and renamed it Yanjing.
After Liu Che proclaimed himself emperor, he granted Yuan Shao the titles of King of Zhao, General, and Jizhou Shepherd; he granted Han Xin the titles of King of Han, Taiwei, and Bingzhou Shepherd; and Song Jiang was granted the title of King of Liang, General of Chariots and Cavalry, and Qingzhou Shepherd.
In addition, Liu Che also named Huo Guang and Wang Mang as the left and right prime ministers respectively, and Wang Mang as the right prime minister and Jihou.
By supporting Liu Che as emperor, Wang Mang not only got rid of his identity as a traitor, but also transformed into a high-ranking member of the Han Court in Youzhou.
After proclaiming himself emperor, Liu Che also followed Liu Ji's example and enfeoffed various princes. He named Gongsun Xuanyuan of Youzhou as King of Liao, Cao Cao as King of Wei, and Zhao Kuangyin as King of Song.
Even Liu Xiu, who had accepted Liu Bian's canonization, was also named King of Chu by Liu Che.
In order to fight against Qin Hao, Liu Che sealed off the whole world. This move indeed made Qin Hao extremely uncomfortable, but he could not follow suit, otherwise the Han Dynasty orthodoxy he had worked so hard to maintain would immediately collapse. In desperation, he could only Send envoys to stabilize the princes on all sides.
Since then, there have been three Han emperors and three courts in the world, namely: the Yanjing Han Court in Youzhou in the north, the Luoyang Han Court in Sizhou in the Central Plains, and the Chengdu Han Court in Yizhou in the south.
The world officially entered the era of the coexistence of the three Han Dynasties.
