Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 255 Jian'an Eight Years, Changed Yuan Wei Gong

The eighth year of Jian'an was destined to be an uneasy year.

In June of the eighth year of Jian'an, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty, rushed to Xuzhou for thousands of miles.

After the prefectures and counties of Xuzhou surrendered, Yuan Tan did not stop his footsteps.

Bingfeng marched at an extremely fast speed, heading south, and captured Shouchun at the end of September.

The generals of Cao Ying, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren died in battle one after another. After the death of the two important ministers who were the pillars of Cao Cao, he was accompanied by three generals with foreign surnames.

Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin also defected to Yuan Tan's tent one after another.

Just when everyone thought that the turbulent years of the eighth year of Jian'an were about to come to an end with the Battle of Shouchun.

In the twelfth lunar month of the eighth year of Jian'an, another incident occurred.

It's just that, for the princes of the world, it's hard to determine whether this is a blessing or a curse.

"Change yuan?"

In the Xuzhou prefect's mansion, Yuan Tan sat on the main seat, and Gao Lan, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Jiang Qi, Xu Huang and other confidant generals below sat in turn.

And beside him was Xun Yu sitting alone, with a troubled expression on his face.

After hearing the news from Chen Zhen, they were all in a daze.

Generally speaking, the matter of changing the yuan will only appear when the matter is of great importance.

Strictly speaking, the young emperor of the Han family has really had a lot of troubles because of Yuan Tan's sudden rise in the past two years.

First, he was robbed by Yuan Tan from Xudu to Yecheng, and then he handed over the Prime Minister to Yuan Shao.

After such a toss, the little emperor found sadly that without military power, he was a bird in a cage wherever he went.

Moreover, the caged bird now lost the support of the Guanzhong family, and the situation became more and more tragic.

Back in Xudu, the bird in the cage could still rely on the support of the family in Guanzhong, and occasionally spit on Cao Cao, the owner, with saliva.

Even if it doesn't hurt Cao Cao, at least it can make him sick for several days.

As a result, after arriving in Yecheng, the Hebei family had already followed Yuan Shao wholeheartedly, the only point of contradiction was that.

Is the cake given by Yuan Shao, the lord, too big or not? If it is not too big, everyone will make a fuss.

Let the lord give them a little more cake.

No one was too lazy to pay attention to the little emperor.

So changing the yuan or something was naturally not on the agenda.

"Will it be a little later..."

Yuan Tan frowned while holding the letter in his hand.

Changing the yuan is usually a major event in the royal family, such as saying that the little emperor married a queen again.

The little emperor hanged up a few sons to get rid of the disaster or something.

Or the little emperor finally escaped from the cage of Xudu and came to the bright, just, great and loyal Yuan family in Hebei.

To celebrate, change the year name to be festive and festive.

But now, eight years after Jian'an, what's the big deal?

Capture Xuzhou?Take Shouchun?
If it were placed in the Battle of Guandu, such a record might be worth celebrating for the forces in Hebei.

But right now, Yongzhou has been beaten, Liangzhou has been allied, and Cao Cao has been beaten and huddled in the front line of Chenliu Xudu Runan.

Such a record is impressive, but it is not to the point of being horrifying.

Just use this reason to change the yuan?
It's a bit too... to insult the little emperor.

It's not that Yuan Tan really became a royalist because he accepted Xu Huang and Xun Yu, but he felt that it was a bit too hasty to do things like this.

Everyone in the world knew that the emperor was in Yuan Shao's hands, so they suddenly announced the change of the reign name.

It is equivalent to Yuan Shao expressing an attitude, the emperor is in my hands, and the emperor listens to me.

I said that if the year name is to be changed, everyone must follow suit.

This is a kind of statement, similar to how Cao Cao, after winning Emperor Xian, would first shout out "I am obeying the imperial edict" to complain about injustice every time there is a war.

Believe it or not, at least I put this buff on myself first.

However, after receiving another letter from Chen Zhen, Yuan Tan showed understanding.

He read the letter, passed it to several generals below, and then handed it over to Xu Huang and Xun Yu.

The reactions of Gao Lan and the others were okay, and they were all relatively flat.

Xu Huang was numb.

But after Xun Yu finished reading it, he turned pale on the spot, which was rare, and couldn't help but whispered:
"Why is this... why is this!"

Chen Zhen looked at Xun Yu sympathetically, shook his head, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Tan:

"In short, the matter is like this. In addition, after the yuan change, the prime minister will also be made a public. The title of the major general is also being discussed. An edict should be issued before the end of the year."

After Chen Zhen reported the news, he saluted and retreated.

The news he brought this time was a bit big, and Yuan Tan and others were better off.

Xu Huang and Xun Yu still need some time to digest. This is not something he, an "outsider", can see.

So I tactfully withdrew.

Seeing Xun Yu's changing expression, and Xu Huang's gloomy face, Yuan Tan shook his head, and led the generals to leave the prefect's mansion first.

Leave the two of them a space where they can calm down.

On the city wall of Xuzhou City, Yuan Tan looked up from afar. Although he couldn't see Cao Cao, he could imagine the scene in Xuzhou at this moment.

"The world of the Han family... is really going to change..."

After a long time, the corners of Yuan Tan's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and he turned and went down the tower.

A group of generals who don't know why are left behind, chaotic in the wind.

The Han family is going to change?
Hasn't this day changed a long time ago?

No one knows what Yuan Tan is thinking, not even Cao Cao, who is currently in Xu Du and preparing for the ceremony of ennobling the duke, probably doesn't know.

No, someone should still know.

For example, Sima Yi, the tomb tiger of the Sima family, or Guo Fengxiao, the genius.

The news that Chen Zhen brought over was very simple and clear.

The reason for the change is simple.

In November of the eighth year of Jian'an, after thoroughly confirming the death of Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin and other three generals surrendered.

After the news that Cao Cao's foundation that he had painstakingly managed for several years in the Central Plains was completely smashed.

I don't know if it's self-defeating or to boost the morale of the camp.

Under the persuasion of Guo Jia, Sima Yi and others, Cao Cao proclaimed himself Duke Wei at the end of November in the eighth year of Jian'an.

He also went to the imperial court to show that he would do his best to save the emperor from danger and wipe out Yuan's disobedience.

In addition, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and other official titles were given posthumously, and officials in his own camp were awarded titles and promoted.

It's not worth mentioning.

In any case, Cao Cao's blatant self-appointment as a public servant not only did not provoke a backlash from the Guanzhong family.

On the contrary, Cao Cao's statement seems to have touched a certain G point of the Guanzhong family, which made the Guanzhong family enthusiastically donate a large amount of military supplies and armor to Cao Cao.

Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, etc. were just the elite scholars of the Guanzhong family who were outside the Cao Ying system.

They all joined Cao Cao one after another, no, to be precise, they were in Duke Wei's shogunate.

Cao Ying's forces were once again replenished with fresh blood.

In contrast, the majesty of the Han family, after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself a prince, was once again trampled to the ground.

And this time, there was no such grand occasion as the princes such as Sun Ce, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, etc., attacked together.

Even Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Bei from Xinye kept a rare silence on this matter.

It seems that inadvertently, the heroes of the Kanto have reached a tacit alliance.
