Chapter 498: The states voluntarily petitioned the court to send troops for protection



"The four governors of Yizhou, Liu Yan, Jingzhou, Liu Biao, Yangzhou, and Youzhou, Liu Yao, petition the Prime Minister to send troops to defend the four provinces."

Now, among the thirteen states of the imperial court, only four are relatives of the Han royal family, and they have seen the hope of the imperial court's revival.

Naturally, he would not mind handing over the military power.

Over the past six months, Fengyun has been secretly discussing with them.

Only recently were the four persuaded.

As Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou surrendered their military power, the three states were immediately connected.

This made Jiaozhou, far in the south, feel uneasy.

Kong Rong of Qingzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, were still wavering, but after hearing their petition, they also issued statements the next day.

"Kong Rong, the governor of Qingzhou; Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou; and Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, petition the Prime Minister to send troops to defend Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou."

These three people had no ambitions to begin with, and they treated the people quite well.

Fengyun has also contacted people, but they just don’t want to get involved in the dispute.

As the seven states announced at the same time that they would give up their military power, Sun Ce, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were greatly shocked.

Sun Ce is in Yangzhou. If he continues to command his own troops, he will be in opposition to his father.

"Young Master, what should we do?"

Sun Ce spread out the map. Now he had only two choices. One was to take control of Jiaozhou, which was a place of exile in their eyes.

Sun Ce would not take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.

Another direction is Yuzhou, which is the Yuan family’s base.

Either path would be extremely difficult for him.

"Go and get my father."

Soon Sun Jian arrived.

Sun Ce looked very ashamed at this moment.

"Father, I failed to meet your expectations. Now our Sun family is on the verge of collapse."

Sun Jian did not blame him, but patted Sun Ce on the back and said:

"This is not your fault. It's fate and the Lord is too strong. You should surrender to the Lord now. The Lord will not make things difficult for our Sun family for my sake."

"Yes. I understand."

At the same time, Gongsun Zan was also worried.

"Liu Yan is such a coward! I'm afraid we won't have a good life in the future."

"General, if you don't hand over your military power, we can't stay in the Han Dynasty anymore. Why don't we go to Goryeo? There we still have a chance."

Gongsun Zan thought about it for a long time, but still felt unwilling to give in.

He said coldly: "Okay, go to Goryeo."

Gongsun Zan knew how powerful Feng Yun was, so he didn't dare to gamble.

Since he was unwilling to give up his military power, he had no choice but to flee from the Han Dynasty.

Then he led his men towards Goryeo.

At this moment, Yuan Shao obviously did not want to leave. He said angrily:

"This coward handed over the military power so quickly."

"My lord, we can't act rashly now. If anything happens to Han Fu, the Prime Minister will not let you go."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao also wilted.

"Then what should we do? If we stay in Jizhou, we will be at the mercy of others and will never be able to make a breakthrough."

"My Lord, how about we go to Yuzhou? That's our base camp."

Yuan Shao was very hesitant.

"My brother is in Yuzhou, and he always looks down on me. If I go to Yuzhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make a name for myself."

At this time, the subordinate said with a smile: "My lord, I heard that Yuan Shu has the imperial seal. What if we can persuade him to ascend the throne?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao laughed.

"Hahaha, then they will be despised by the world, and that's my chance."

"Then I will arrange it right away."

Among these people, Cao Cao was the most stable.

He has been secretly developing his army. Although he is not yet strong enough, he is at least capable of fighting.

"My Lord, should we take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to capture a few states?"

"No! The court is showing signs of improvement. If we step forward now, we'll be the first to do so."

"But if we don't take action now, we will never have another chance."

Cao Cao still shook his head and said:

"No chance, no chance. It's better than chaos in the Han Dynasty."

It was not known whether Cao Cao's words reflected his true intention or whether he had completely given up. He was actually waiting.

"But my lord, you have conquered this with great difficulty, are you going to give up just like that?"

"What else can I do?"

Seeing his lord like this, Cheng Yu was a little discouraged.

Liu Bei and his two brothers were even more depressed, as they were still wandering.

"Brother, how long are we going to wander? Brother Fengyun has become the prime minister, why don't we go and join him?"

The three brothers have been wandering for so many years that Zhang Fei has become very impatient.

Fengyun was so powerful that Zhang Fei had some ideas in mind.

Guan Yu said, "Are we too late?"

"Why late? As long as we are thick-skinned and go to him, I believe he will take us in."

Liu Bei said at this time:

"How about we go to Gongsun Zan and borrow some soldiers?"

"Brother, my brothers back home said Gongsun Zan is about to flee to Goryeo."

"Ah? Then do we have no choice but to go find Brother Fengyun?"

"Brother, let's go. Let's not insist on it anymore and go find Brother Fengyun, shall we?"

"Alas! Well. We can't go on like this. It's time to embrace the court."

When Liu Bei and his two other companions came to see Feng Yun, Sun Ce was also there.

"Hahaha, Brother Fengyun, the three of us brothers are here to see you."

"Hey! Long time no see, welcome, welcome."

Fengyun's feelings towards the three of them have not changed, and he still likes them very much.

It was just that Liu Bei was a little hesitant to open his mouth, but Zhang Fei had nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Brother Fengyun, this time we came here to borrow some troops from you."

After Zhang Fei said this, Sun Ce on the side was unwilling.

"That's not right. We've all come to serve the general. Why are you here to borrow troops? Are you planning to rebel?"

Zhang Fei was speechless.

Liu Bei quickly added:

"We don't want to rebel, and we have no intention of rebelling."

"Why would you borrow troops if you're not rebelling? If you have the strength, wouldn't it be better for you to follow me, sir?"

"us..."

Sun Ce was not used to them, and said:

"We, the Sun family, support the general unconditionally. What do you have? You ask for troops right away. Where's your dignity?"

"us..."

"We what? I, Sun Ce, am ashamed to be associated with the three of you."

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he stepped aside. He had never seen such a shameless person.

Borrowing troops right away, I don’t know if he is too shameless.

The three were speechless after being retorted by Sun Ce. Fengyun certainly would not lend them troops, as all those who came were his opponents.

"Brothers, look, everyone has come to me for support. If you need to borrow troops, I can't even lend them to you. Putting these brothers aside, I can't even get past the court. Brother Xuande, you're also a relative of the Han Dynasty. You can't go against the Han. How about you all join me and form your own army?"
