Ran Min's death opened a new era.
Hebei, Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Jiangnan were in turmoil.
Chang Wei has been recuperating in Chenliu, and Yue Ji is taking care of him personally, which makes Li Yue feel relieved.
There was a shortage of people around him to make suggestions, so Li Yue was not polite and directly recruited Cui Hong from Qinghe to join the army as a reporter.
The Cui family did not refuse, and within a few days, Cui Hong took office.
"Zhang Yu also asked for help from Guanzhong, Hebei, with ulterior motives. Liang Gong can just wait and see what happens." Cui Hong stayed at home in Dongwu, but he knew everything about the world.
"Yuzhou is between my heart and my heart, and cannot be obtained by others." Li Yue has long been salivating over Zhang Yu.
I tried to annex him several times, but this old boy was as slippery as a loach and always managed to avoid disaster.
By winning Yuzhou, Li Yue's geographical sector will be complete.
From Xuchang and Chenliu, go down the Yingshui and Bianshui rivers and reach the Huaihe River. You can suppress Jiangdong like Cao Wei.
The situation in the world is clear. The Yan family is the dominant one, lingering in the north like a long dragon. Li Yue is a fierce tiger and dominates both sides of the river. The Fu family is attacking the city in Guanzhong with a momentum like a rainbow.
Wang Xie Xun Yin and other noble clans jointly governed Jiangdong with the Sima clan.
Huan Wen was entrenched in Jingxiang and Shu and was very powerful.
After Zhang Chonghua blocked Shi Hu's three fierce attacks, he was so powerful that he fell to the west.
Caught between these powerful forces, Bingzhou Zhang Ping and Yuzhou Zhang Yu no longer have much room to dodge and maneuver.
Zhang Yu, in particular, ranked among the best in the world. After occupying Luoyang, he became the object of others' covetousness.
"If Liang Gong wants to conquer Yuzhou, he still needs help." Although Cui Hong is young, he has extraordinary experience.
Li Yue immediately understood what he meant, "Huan Wen, Fu Jian!"
"If what I predict is correct, envoys from Jiangling and Chang'an will arrive soon."
Li Yue became more and more happy as he looked at his brother-in-law.
Perhaps the biggest gain from the marriage with the Cui family is Cui Hong.
Sure enough, Fu Jian's envoy Lei Ruo'er came the next day, "Liang Gong fought against Yao Xiang in Surabaya, Li Yang retreated from Murong, and shocked the world. My Majesty admires him deeply. Now the great event has been accomplished. My Majesty invites Liang Gong to ascend the throne." Let the two families form an alliance forever!"
Li Yue was stunned. What does this mean? Qin and Qi each call themselves emperors of the East and West?
With a quick glance, Liu Qun, Shen Zhong, Tiao You, and Nie Xiong all had their eyes burning.
There are not many advantages to becoming emperor, but there are many disadvantages. First of all, he will fall out with Huan Wen. Secondly, the people with lofty ideals in the country will be discouraged, and the powerful people's intentions are unknown.
In fact, after Fu Jian proclaimed himself emperor, it also caused quite a stir in Guanzhong, and the powerful people rebelled one after another.
Kong Chi in Chiyang rebelled, Liu Zhen and Xiahou in Hu County rebelled, Qiao Bing in Yong County rebelled, and even Hu Yangchi, the Qiang chieftain in Sizhu, and Huyandu, the Huns in Bacheng, also rebelled.
Although it's not a big climate, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 troops in total.
They also sent envoys to Jiangdong to ask for help...
The Fu family fell into political isolation in Guanzhong, so they urgently needed a "like-minded" ally. If Li Yue became emperor, he could further attack Jiangdong's legitimacy.
Li Yue said with a smile: "Although the Jin Dynasty is in decline, people's hearts are still not tired, and the Central Plains will be out of the war. How dare I risk the disapproval of the world?"
Liu Qun, Tiao You and others on the side were relieved.
Lei Ruo'er also laughed, "If God doesn't take what he wants, he will suffer the consequences. Liang Gong is so powerful that he can inherit the legal system of Ran Wei sooner rather than later."
"Your Excellency came all the way, could it be just for this matter?" Li Yue didn't want to get entangled with him on this matter.
"Haha, Mr. Liang is wise. Naturally, I am here for Zhang Yu. Yuluo is located on the side of Yanzhou. If it is obtained by Jiangdong, it will be very detrimental to Mr. Liang." Lei Ruoer's face was filled with a smile.
"Your Excellency, please speak clearly."
"My family is willing to share Yuluo with Mr. Liang!" Lei Ruoer's eyes sharpened.
Everyone in the palace was attentive.
Li Yue said: "Your Excellency, please give me a try."
"The land and cities of Luo and Yu Prefectures belong to Liang Gong, and the money and food of the children belong to my family." Lei Ruoer said with a "sincere" look on his face.
There are no people left, so why do we need the land?
Li Yue's biggest problem now is the vast land and sparse population.
Only Yanzhou has some vitality, Jizhou was beaten to pieces, Qingzhou was massacred by stone tigers twenty years ago, and it has not recovered yet. Xuzhou is the buffer zone between the north and the south, and the people have long fled to Jiangdong.
Zhang Yu has been running Yuzhou for ten or twenty years and has some financial resources. Fu Jian wants them all as soon as he opens his mouth...
If the person wants it, forget it, and leave the blame to Li Yue.
Whoever occupies Luoyang will be the target of the Jiangbei Expedition...
Liu Qun said: "The people of the two states have lived in the Central Plains for many years, but they may not adapt to the local customs of Guanzhong."
Tiao Youhan said with a face: "It seems that your family is not sincere. If Mr. Liang agrees, what is the same as betraying the people of the Central Plains? I think it is absolutely impossible!"
Lei Ruoer cupped his hands at the two of them and looked at Li Yue with bright eyes.
"This matter will be discussed later." Li Yue neither agreed nor refused.
Li Yue still wanted the Fu family as an ally, and they might join forces to resist the Murong family in the future.
In view of the situation, there is actually no need to intervene in such a hurry.
It's hard to say how Zhang Yu, Yao Xiang, Xie Shang, and Yin Hao will fare.
If you are forced into a situation, the most likely option is to surrender.
"Since Liang Gong has made up his mind, let's discuss it another day." Lei Ruoer did not say anything, and stayed in Yecheng to eat and drink and observe the development of the situation in the south.
Set up Lei Ruo'er.
Cui Jin's marriage was almost done.
The Cui family took the initiative to seek refuge with the Zheng family, and the Liu family and the Lu family were naturally willing to form a stronger alliance with Li Yue.
The nods from these wealthy families meant that Li Yue had completely established a foothold in Hebei.
As soon as the news of the marriage spread.
Jizhou reacted immediately.
The three counties of Julu, Anping, and Gaoyang that once submitted to the Murong clan returned to Yecheng.
Even many generals in Lukou secretly surrendered.
At the same time, an inexplicable rebellion broke out in Youzhou, and Yuyang Haoqiang Tian Jian and Chunyu Dan rebelled.
A group of horse bandits named Gongsun Chuo suddenly appeared in Beiping County and robbed the prefectures and counties.
After Murong Jun beheaded Ran Min, there was no rain in the land of Youyan for several months. There was a drought and a plague of locusts. All the vegetation in the seven miles around Yixing Mountain withered. Locusts arose. The homeless people became thieves, echoing the horse bandits.
If the turmoil in the Yan region has nothing to do with Jizhou's power, it is definitely impossible.
Murong took advantage of Ran Min and Shizhi to confront Ye and Xiang. It had only been a year since they sent troops to occupy Youzhou, and their foundation was equally unstable.
Don't doubt the courage of the powerful to rebel.
Su Lin dared to proclaim himself emperor under Murong Ke's nose.
Of course, the turmoil of these people will only make it more difficult for the Murong family to rule. It is almost a daydream to use them to overthrow the Yan Kingdom.
But the rebellion of these people bought Li Yue a lot of development time.
Li Yue also saw the strength of powerful people.
Soon there was news of the war in the south.
Zhang Yu was not ranked high in the Northern Kingdom, but to Jiangdong, he was an insurmountable mountain.
Zhang Yu had a clear goal, so he sent an army to hold Yao Xiang back, and then led 20,000 elite troops to attack Xie Shang.
Yao Xiang was much more difficult to deal with than Xie Shang, so Zhang Yu couldn't get any advantage for a while.
But at this time, Fu Xiong also entered the Luochuan area and began to rob people and move them to Guanzhong...
