Zhu Yuanzhang had just unified Yangzhou and finally truly owned a state. But before he could be happy, he heard the news that Bai Qi had defeated Fu Jian and other princes in Liangzhou.
After this news came, Zhu Yuanzhang's good mood that he had just unified Yangzhou was immediately suppressed. Although Yangzhou has a vast territory and is protected by the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it is only a land of one state. In terms of strength, it is still much inferior to Li Xiang's three states.
Moreover, if Li Xiang really defeated Yang Jian, Fu Jian and other princes and captured Yongliang, then it would not be as simple as the land of three states, but the land of five states.
At least judging from the current situation of the battle, Li Xiang is the one with the advantage.
However, although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do. Yangzhou, where he was located, was located in the south and there was no way to intervene in the war in the north.
The only consolation for Zhu Yuanzhang is that no matter how powerful Li Xiang's power is, it is still far away from him after all, and he still has enough time to develop. Zhu Yuanzhang estimated that as long as he captured Jingxu again, he would have enough capital to compete.
The situation in the world is changing, and the news of Bai Qi's victory in Liangzhou has spread all over the world. There is another news that also affects the minds of too many people, and also makes the people of the world devote more energy to the battle in Yuzhou. middle.
Yuzhou.
"Your envoy is tired of traveling and traveling. This is my father's wish. I hope you won't dislike it!" Huang Chao pointed to a big box that he ordered his men to move and said respectfully with a happy face on the surface.
"Gong Lu is so kind, but disrespectful, but disrespectful!!!" Yang Hong looked at the big box on the ground, and the smile on his face became brighter, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Hahaha, come on, send your envoy down to rest!" After saying a bunch of useless polite words and setting the scene, Huang Chaocai clapped his hands and immediately summoned a group of beautiful ladies to lead Yang Hong. Went down.
Huang Chao couldn't wait to spread out a piece of jade silk and looked at the content on it. Huang Chao couldn't help but feel a flush of excitement on his face.
This was a decree from a duke, and it was also stamped with a jade seal that passed down the country. From this moment on, Huang Chao finally became a serf and started singing. From then on, he no longer relied on others, but became a prince himself.
At least, that's what Huang Chao himself thinks.
When Sun Jian died in battle, Pang Nuan and Xianzhen were even more eye-catching, and people in the Sun family's influence were moved. Although a group of important ministers and generals headed by Sun Wu, Cheng Pu, and Zhou Yi expressed their support for Sun Ce, and Sun Ce also took over Sun Jian's position with the support of everyone, the situation did not completely improve.
At this time, with the support of Cui Liao, Meng Kai, Huang Kui, Ji Kui, and Meng Juehai, the generals of Liang State, Huang Chao boldly announced to Liang State that he was breaking away from the Sun clan and asked Runan Emperor Zhong's Yuan Shu submitted a memorial to declare himself a minister.
The Sun family was Yuan Shu's great enemy. For the people of the Sun family, Yuan Shu wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Now that Sun Jian died and the Sun family itself was in civil strife, Yuan Shu naturally watched the excitement from the sidelines.
At this time, Yan Xiang pointed out that he could give Huang Chao the title of Duke at will, so that he and Huang Chao could better confront Sun Ce, allowing them to consume each other's strength.
Originally, when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Yan Xiang was very frustrated and was ready to find a place to retire.
However, the next development surprised Yan Xiang. Although Yan Xiang is still not optimistic about Yuan Shu's future, judging from the current situation, they are not hopeless.
Naturally, Yuan Shu would not let go of such a thing that had both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, Yuan Shu readily agreed to Yan Xing's suggestion this time.
However, originally, according to Yan Xing's idea, Huang Chao was to be granted the title of Duke Liang. However, Yuan Shu just wanted to disgust the Sun family, so he directly made Huang Chao the Duke of Lu.
Therefore, at this time, there were two Lu Gongs in Yuzhou at the same time. One is Sun Ce, who succeeded Sun Jian, and the other is Huang Chao, who was canonized by Yuan Shu.
"Come here, hit me!" Sun Ce roared like an angry lion cub towards Huang Gai who was kneeling not far away.
After hearing about Huang Chao's betrayal, Huang Gai himself was the one who was hit the hardest. After all, the rebellious Huang Chao's implanted identity was Huang Gai's clan brother. When this happened, Huang Gai was the most embarrassed and ashamed.
Huang Gai asked himself that his old lord Sun Jian was not kind to him, and even treated him as a brother. Therefore, after this incident happened, Huang Gai immediately knelt down outside the gate of Sun Ce's house, ready to bear the thorn and plead guilty.
Huang Gai knelt down for three hours before being summoned by Sun Ce. There were only three people in the lobby, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai. After Huang Gai entered, only a moment later, Sun Ce's angry roar could be heard. .
The guards outside the lobby couldn't help but keep silent when they heard the quarrel coming from inside. They were cautious, fearing that they would accidentally endanger Chi Yu. In the impression of these guards, Sun Ce and Huang Gai had always gotten along well with each other and had never had such a dispute.
This time, it was really a big deal.
The news spread quickly, and Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Luo Shaowei, Zhou Tai, Ding Feng, Lu Xiong and others quickly arrived outside the camp. Cheng Pu was one of the first people to follow Sun Jian and was the most senior among them. Hearing the quarrel coming from him, he couldn't bear it anymore and immediately took the lead to enter.
At first, the four old brothers followed Sun Jian and joined Zhu Jun's troops. During the Yellow Turban period, they fought in the north and south, sharing life and death. Although the five of them are not brothers, they are better than brothers.
But after more than ten years of fighting, first Zu Mao left when he was fighting against Dong, and a few days ago, Han Dang and his old master Sun Jian also left. Now, Huang Gai is his last old brother. Therefore, at this time, Cheng Pu had to take the initiative to stand up.
With Cheng Pu taking the lead, the others followed closely.
After a group of people entered, various persuasive voices soon came out. After all, Huang Gai is one of the oldest generals here, and he is even more loyal to the Sun family and has many military exploits.
Huang Gai, as Huang Chao's clan brother, is responsible for the Huangchao Rebellion, but he cannot be punished too much. Especially with the current situation, the Sun family can no longer cause too much trouble. Excessive punishment of veterans like Huang Gai may chill the hearts of the soldiers!
But after everyone advised him, the situation calmed down temporarily, but Sun Ce's anger did not diminish at all, and he mercilessly ordered Huang Gai to be beaten with fifty military sticks in public.
Huang Gai was taken to the military camp, and in front of all the soldiers, Huang Gai was severely punished with fifty military sticks.
