After repeated conversations, Kuai Yue agreed to grant the two counties of Hanoi and Hedong to the prefecture.

At this time, Kuai Yue was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, and now Liu Biao is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, these princes took the opportunity to put forward various requirements to the court to satisfy themselves because of the crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu, he also knew that not only the state was the case, I am afraid that the other princes are the same, driven by insufficient interests, who would be willing to send troops, the grudge between Jingzhou and Yuan Shu is quite deep, even if the princes do not participate, the war between the two parties has not stopped, as for the princes to recognize Liu Biao as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, It's just to let his identity be recognized, otherwise even if Lu Bu occupies Youzhou, there is no canonization from the imperial court, and he is not the nominal lord of Youzhou.

Liu Biao is a sweet spot in the eyes of the princes at this time, an opportunity to legitimize the interests in their current hands.

Cai Yong published three articles in succession in the Dahan Daily, denouncing Yuan Shu, and at the same time showing the determination of the state to support Liu Biao to inherit the unification, Cai Yong personally wrote, the weight is still very heavy, Cai Yong is a well-known Confucian in China, and has a force to be reckoned with among the literati.

In May of the same year, just one month after Yuan Shu became emperor, Cao Cao denounced Yuan Shu, and the court recognized Liu Biao as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and was canonized by Liu Biao as the Mu of Yanzhou and the Marquis of Shanyang; Yuan Shao severed relations with Yuan Shu, called Yuan Shu a traitor, issued a document denouncing Yuan Shu, recognized Liu Biao as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and was canonized by Liu Biao as Jizhou Mu and Ye Marquis, and Fengji was canonized as Qingzhou Mu; Sun Ce severed relations with Yuan Shu, denounced Yuan Shu, and canonized him as Huiji Taishou and Wu Hou for Liu Biao, and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou went to the imperial court, resolutely supported Liu Biao, and canonized Liu Biao as Hanyang Taishou and Huaili Hou, and Han Sui was named Jincheng Taishou; Liu Bei denounced Yuan Shu, recognized Liu Biao's status, named Liu Biao as Xuzhou Mu, and recognized Liu Bei's identity as a clan relative of the Han family; Lu Bu sent a document to denounce Yuan Shu, recognized Liu Biao's identity, and canonized Liu Biao as the pastor of Bingzhou and the Marquis of Jin, and Li Su was canonized as the pastor of Youzhou.

Yuan Shao was quite dissatisfied with the position of Youzhou pastor, his original intention was to take the opportunity to take Youzhou Mu and Qingzhou Mu and Sili area, I don't want Liu Biao to just agree to Qingzhou, and gave Hanoi and Hedong in the Sili region to Yuan Shao, these are all secretly promised, Liu Biao naturally will not make it public, nor will he tell Yuan Shao that he has promised Hanoi and Hedong to Bingzhou.

In May of the same year, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu as a pioneer and led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou; Ma Teng ordered his son Ma Chao to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou; Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang to be the vanguard and personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou; Lü Bu ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to be the vanguard, and personally commanded 5,000 troops to Jingzhou; Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun to be the vanguard and led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou; Sun Ce also led 2,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou.

This is another alliance after the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, but the former prince Yuan Shu has now become the son of heaven.

Like Liu Biao, after Yuan Shu called the Son of Heaven, he sent envoys to various states and counties as soon as possible, promising high-ranking officials and good fortunes, but the princes obviously did not want to see Yuan Shu's envoy, even if it was hindered by the Yuan family, after seeing it, he would not agree to anything, and Yuan Shu became a loner for a while.

Yuan Shu was shocked to learn that Yanzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou, Ma Teng, and Sun Ce had sent troops to Jingzhou to discuss the crusade, and he was not arrogant enough to be able to use the land of Yangzhou and Yuzhou to fight against the princes' coalition forces.

What made Yuan Shu most angry was Sun Ce's rebellion, Sun Ce was able to return to Jiangdong and have today's power, all with his help, he didn't expect Sun Ce to turn to Liu Biao, after all, Sun Ce and Liu Biao have a grudge against their father, and the grudge between the two parties has long been irresolvable, if Sun Ce is contained, Yuan Shu will be more confident in winning.

Jingzhou has Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, Xiangyang and Zhangling two counties are separated from Nanyang County and Nan County, that is, the nine counties of Jingzhou, with a population of about 6 million and 100,000 people with armor, which is a force that cannot be underestimated among the princes.

Although the Han Dynasty has been turbulent in recent years, Jingzhou has not been greatly affected, and many people have gone to Jingzhou for refuge, which has also promoted the prosperity of Jingzhou.

After Liu Biao was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, he transferred the state administration to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao is Lu Gong Wang Liu Yu later, when he was young, he was famous all over the world, ranked as "Eight Jun", entered Jingzhou on a single horse, pacified Jingzhou with the assistance of Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao and others, and killed the fierce general Sun Jian in the battle between the two armies.

Soldiers and horses from all over the world arrived in Jingzhou in June.

The grievances between the princes have also been around for a long time, Xuzhou and Yanzhou naturally needless to say, the grudges between Jizhou and Bingzhou are also quite deep, Jiangdong Sun Ce and Liu Biao have irresolvable grudges, this time in order to crusade against Yuan Shu, but gathered in one place

Liu Biao's succession to the throne was relatively hasty, and Jingzhou was building a palace on a large scale at this time.

Lu Bu shook his head slightly after learning about it, the most important thing in Jingzhou at present is to break through Yuan Shu, and it is really not a wise move to work for the so-called palace at such a critical juncture.

The construction of the imperial palace is also a strong request of Jingzhou officials, Liu Biao is already the emperor, and the so-called etiquette cannot be abolished, which represents the face of the royal family, and naturally cannot live in the state pastoral mansion.

In June, the weather was already a little hot, and the soldiers and horses from all sides were also looking for a shady place outside the city.

After Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao found a place to be stationed outside the city, they commanded the soldiers to set up camp, while Zhao Yun went to the army to meet Lu Bu.

Although Jizhou is closer to Jingzhou than Bingzhou, the vanguard of the Bingzhou army is cavalry, which is much faster than Jizhou in speed.

Yan Liang also took a fancy to the camp of the Bingzhou army, there are not many places outside the city that can be used for the garrison of the army, and the place chosen by the Bingzhou army is slightly higher, if the army of the rest of the princes is stationed outside the city, it is obviously a loss, and seeing that the general of the Bingzhou army is Zhang Liao, who has never met, he has the intention to deceive each other.

Zhang Liao learned that the Bingzhou army had clashed with the Jizhou army outside the camp, and hurriedly led more than 100 cavalry to go.

I saw that the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army were scolding each other, and they were about to start.

Zhang Liao shouted: "Stop." ”

"Who are you soldiers and horses, and why did you go to the Bingzhou military camp to provoke?" Zhang Liao asked with a low face.

"What is the Bingzhou military camp, this place is clearly the first to be seen by the Jizhou army, and it was occupied by your people by force, did the brothers say?" The officers and men of the Jizhou army who came echoed one after another.

"Hmph, this is the military camp of Bingzhou, and the general doesn't want to say it a second time, but anyone who doesn't leave this place will be regarded as an enemy of the Bingzhou army, and he will be killed." Zhang Liao shouted.

The war has begun, brothers come to support!
