The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 180 Yuan Shu Proclaims Emperor!
In early September, the autumn harvest is coming to an end.

At the same time, Xuchang University started smoothly.

Those aristocratic families talked about their resistance, but they didn't hesitate much when they entered school.

At the beginning of the school year, in the entire Xuchang school, two-thirds of the students were from aristocratic families, and only one-third were the sons of ordinary people.

The new version of textbooks is printed by the paper mill, and basically everyone has a set.

For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a great joy to have a set of books when they enter school.

For people from aristocratic families, they pay more attention to the content of the new textbook.

For a while, discussions about the new style of school continued for a long time within Xuchang Scholars.

Xuchang School was successfully enrolled, and Xi Yu's eyes that he had been staring at all along followed him back.

until September thirteenth.

The entire autumn harvest in Yanzhou and Xuzhou has come to an end.

The grain and grass that Cao Cao's army set off for the expedition were almost collected.

At that time, Cao Cao did not hesitate in the slightest. After sufficient food and grass, he immediately launched a Western Expedition, intending to crusade against officials who disrespected the court.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were transferred by Cao Cao to Xuzhou to garrison. This time, Cao Ren was dispatched back from the expedition.

Because Xi Yu's supply battalion was separated from Cao Jun, Cao Cao specially ordered Cao Chun to take on the important task of escorting food and grass this time.

On that day, September [-]th, Cao Cao hurriedly marched westward with his army.

After getting the news that Cao Cao led the troops to the expedition, Xi Yu didn't have much reaction.

He had already reminded Cao Cao before.

It's just that Lao Cao didn't take Yuan Shu's matter to heart after all.

After all, Xi Yu did not persuade Cao Cao to go west.

This time Cao Cao led 20 troops, intending to advance to Sili, in the land of Tuhanoi.

The 20 army is mighty, and Cao Cao has already learned the lesson from Wancheng, and the army on this trip is quite regular.

Knowing that Cao Cao marched smoothly, Xi Yu didn't care anymore. After taking his eyes back from the school, Xi Yu turned his attention to Yuan Shu of Shouchun through Xi Zhicai's spies.

I don't know if Yuan Shu didn't think about spreading the news of proclaiming emperor to the world at the first time, or if the news of Shouchun is tight.

To Xi Yu's surprise, there is no clear news from Yuan Shu.

On the other hand, Xuchang's spies learned that when Lu Bu went all the way from Bingzhou to the south, passed through Hanoi, passed through Sili, and approached Yuan Shu from Jingzhou.

Instead, he had a fight with Zhang Xiu on the way.

It seems that because Lu Bu brought [-] troops from Xiliang, which looked menacing, even the Jingzhou family including Liu Biao and even Zhang Xiu were a little nervous.

There had been almost no communication between the two sides, so Zhang Xiu took the lead in attacking Lu Bu in the wild.

Fortunately, Lu Bu's ability to lead the army is still outstanding, and Zhang Xiu's sneak attack did not have any effect.

But this battle also made the land of Jingzhou jittery.

At the same time, although Lu Bu lost a lot of time because of this, his confidence grew a lot after this battle.

However, after all, Jingzhou is not a place where you can stay. After Zhang Xiu fought, Lu Bu finally sent an envoy to inform Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu and others.

He said that this time was just a way, and he did not intend to plot Jingzhou.

Although Liu Biao and others did not believe this, they did not start a war with each other.

Lu Bu continued to lead his soldiers and horses to pass Jingzhou swaggeringly, heading straight for Yuan Shu's territory.

At the same time that Lu Bu was heading towards Yuan Shu's location without any haste.

In Shouchun at that time.

Yuan Shu's subordinate Zhang Xun once again asked Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor.

This is already the third time in this period of time.

In the yamen office, all of Yuan Shu's subordinates have already understood Yuan Shu's purpose.

Although Yan Xiang and others are not optimistic about Yuan Shu, the other party is the master, and they cannot decide anything on behalf of the other party.

It's the day, inside the Shouchun government office.

"The minister waits to invite the lord to ascend the throne!"

Headed by Yuan Shu's leader Bo Lifeng, after Yuan Shu's three requests and three rejections, all the confidants once again asked Yuan Shu to ascend the throne.

And after seeing everyone under his command kneeling on the ground, Yuan Shu's face was delighted, and he responded directly.

"What you said, I already understand, since the destiny is mine, I shall accept the destiny!"

Yuan Shu nodded, and his title had changed.

"This time, since I am enthroned, I shall establish the title of the country and set up hundreds of officials..."

On that day, after three requests and three rejections, Yuan Shu readily ascended the throne and called himself the Zhong family.

At the first time, he took the prefect of Jiujiang as the Yin of Huainan, took the land of Shouchun as the imperial capital, set up a hundred officials, worshiped the heaven and the earth according to the rituals of the emperor, and ascended the throne of the emperor.

And this enthronement matter is huge.

In Shouchun, everyone who knew a little bit scolded Yuan Shu behind his back.

After all, the news of proclaiming the emperor could not be concealed. Throughout Shouchun, the news spread like scattered flowers, and began to spread crazily towards the states and counties of the Han Dynasty.

Two days later.

Within the Xuchang Opera House.

Xi Zhicai handed the received news to Xi Yu beside him, with a strange expression on his face.

"Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor!"

After Xi Yu saw the spy's letter, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Even though the butterfly flapped its wings because of him, some things didn't change much after all.

Yuan Shu still proclaimed himself emperor within this year, although the time was delayed a bit.

However, what should have happened, happened after all.

The news of Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor is like a heavy hammer to the entire big man today.

"As A Yu said before, then Yuan Shu really proclaimed himself emperor!"

Xi Zhicai was in a delicate mood. When he learned from his younger brother that Yuan Shu might do rebellious acts, he still felt somewhat disbelieving.

After all, Yuan Shu's power is actually like that now.

Compared with the princes in the world, Yuan Shu is somewhat not enough in front of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

The other party has a brain problem, so he chose to become emperor!

Even if Yuan Shu's mind is faulty, it's difficult for the courtiers under his command to let him mess around like this.

Although the power of the Han court has existed in name only, the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty still has some influence in the eyes of the people and scholars all over the world.

This influence is not too obvious on the surface.

But just like Dong Zhuo's power, once there is a sign, the world will focus on him.

Even Dong Zhuo didn't dare to act rebelliously at that time.

He also dared to abolish the emperor and establish a new emperor.

But, who would have thought that under such circumstances, that guy Yuan Shu would proclaim himself emperor in Shouchun today without making a sound.

A series of measures such as taking the national title have already been prepared.

This is not cracking the soil to seal the king, it is directly telling the whole big man that from today on, Lao Tzu will not belong to the big man, and Lao Tzu will be the emperor.

Xi Zhicai is a little funny.

Regarding Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor, he just thought it was a bit unbelievable.

In the final analysis, the other party's proclaiming emperor did not make any substantial changes to the princes from all over the world.

"Now that Yuan Shu is proclaimed emperor, and His Majesty is in Xuchang, Cao Cao is Sikong, and I, as the current Taiwei, cannot ignore this matter!"

"Accordingly, if we want to crusade against rebellion, this Yuan Shu is the number one rebel in the court today!"

Xi Yu said something casually, and Xi Zhicai next to him understood this skill.

No wonder my younger brother told Cao Cao not to rush out and prepare to attack Yuan Shu!

Now, Yuan Shu has just proclaimed himself emperor, but at this moment Cao Cao has already led his army westward.

As for such a matter, Cao Cao, who is a big man Sikong, can't ignore it.

He had to choose to attack Yuan Shu immediately, otherwise how would the world treat him.

This westward advance is probably a waste of time, and it will hardly be effective.

"Ayu, how are you going to respond!"

Xi Zhicai looked up at Xi Yu.

Hearing this, Xi Yu shook his head.

Now there are signs of conflict between him and Cao Ying.

Although Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he, as the current Taiwei, was exactly what he should express.

But Xi Yu didn't want to do anything.

Once he expresses something, the people under Cao Cao's command don't know what to do. Even if Cao Cao doesn't say it publicly, he will feel a little grudge in his heart.

"Just wait and see what happens!"

Xi Yu said something casually, and then looked at Xi Zhicai again: "Brother, did you pass the news to Meng De?"

"When I received the news, I sent it over quickly. I think he will know it soon!"

Xi Zhicai agrees with Xi Yu's idea that he doesn't intend to do anything.

Ever since his younger brother was promoted to Taiwei, Xi Zhicai has also felt a little bit.

Some things are no longer like the situation in Yanzhou!
……

When Xi Yu and Xi Zhi were ready to wait and see what happened.

In the Han Palace at that time, the bronze crane on the side of Liu Xie's seat was kicked to the ground.

"Rebel, rebel!"

Liu Xie opened his mouth to curse.

After receiving the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, his immediate feeling was not anger, but panic.

A panic rising from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

Liu Xie originally thought that people like Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si, together with Cao Cao, had gone too far.

These people regard him, the emperor of Han, as a puppet.

But what Liu Xie didn't expect was that Yuan Shu didn't even care about him, the bright emperor.

proclaim oneself emperor.

Now the great Han Dynasty has not yet perished, and the name of the imperial court still exists in various places.

No matter how powerful those princes from all over the world are, they still want to respect the Han court.

However, now he actually heard that someone proclaimed himself emperor.

Just like that, he proclaimed himself emperor without warning, saying that he had inherited the fate of the great man.

It's really crazy.

After the panic passed, a wave of anger rose in Liu Xie's heart. This anger couldn't be suppressed, but there was no way to display it.

In the entire Han Palace at that time, the sound of smashing resounded through the hall.

At the same time, not only Liu Xie and others.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were in Wu County, also received the news of Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor at the first time.

In fact, Yuan Shu even sent an envoy to personally deliver a letter to Sun Ce, along with a reward.

Given such a situation, Sun Ce immediately refused.

He thought that Yuan Shu didn't take the Han court seriously, but what Sun Ce didn't expect was that Yuan Shu would be so inflated.

proclaim oneself emperor!

Such a thing is a little unbelievable.

"Gongjin, Yuan Gonglu, he, he has become emperor!"

To be honest, Sun Ce's emotions were a bit complicated at this time.

Proclaim yourself emperor!
This is something that many people have thought about in their dreams, even he is no exception, but some things are only thought about in dreams.

Although the great Han Dynasty is extremely weak today, the imperial court is still established in name.

Proclaiming emperor under such circumstances is not about seeking death but doing something.

He couldn't figure out why Yuan Shu made such a decision, was it because he offered the jade seal?

"Bo Fu, this time is a good opportunity!"

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce.

Although the news of Yuan Shu proclaiming the emperor this time was somewhat surprising, but for them, this happened to be a good opportunity.

When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce could completely separate himself from the opponent in terms of righteousness.

From then on, there was no need to take Yuan Shu into consideration.

At the same time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had more or less the same thought. The reason why Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor must have something to do with that jade seal.

Thinking of when he and Sun Ce went to Xuchang before, Xi Yu directly pointed out this point.

The meaning seems to be to ask Sun Ce to hand over the jade seal to Yuan Shu.

But now, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor under such circumstances, and I don't know if Feng Yi had expected that.

If it had been expected a long time ago, and even the other party was behind the scenes to fuel the flames, how deep was Fengyi's thoughts.

Zhou Yu didn't dare to think too much.

Now that Yuan Shu is proclaiming the emperor, the most important thing for them is to completely separate from Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce also understood.

He first wrote a letter to Yuan Shu, saying that he would turn back and do what he wanted, and then he declared that he would break with Yuan Shu in the land of Wu County.

……

Hebei, Yecheng.

Yuan Shu sent envoys to Yecheng where Yuan Shao was located as soon as he proclaimed himself emperor.

His envoy stated that if Yuan Shao was willing to take refuge in his Majesty, Yuan Shu would treat Yuan Shao with the courtesy of a prime minister.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao was about to explode with anger.

What does Yuan Shu mean by that? That guy has been confronting him tit for tat since before, and now that he proclaims himself emperor, he secretly mocked him.

Above the palace of Yecheng.

Yuan Shao waved his hand and tore the letter that Yuan Shu had given him into pieces. By this time, all the civil and military men under his command had also learned the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.

People like Yan Liangwen Chou, Tian Feng Guo Tu and others were not careful about this situation.

In their view, the world of the great man has indeed existed in name only.

However, the news of Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor still somewhat displeased the crowd.

The reason why they took refuge in Yuan Shao was because they valued the reputation of the fourth generation and third son of the Yuan family.

"My lord, Yuan Shu dared to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in just one continent. My lord sits on four continents of the Han Dynasty and has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers!"

"If you want to take over the fate of the Han court, then it should be my master!"

Guo Tu uttered admonitions, and even demoted Yuan Shu to nothing.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's complexion improved a bit.

That's right, he, Yuan Shu, is only in Yangzhou, with half of Yuzhou in his possession.

With such a little territory, that kid dared to call himself emperor, and he didn't know what the other party was thinking.

However, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor after this kung fu, and Yuan Shao's heart became hot.

You must know that he is now the most powerful prince in the Han Dynasty.

His subordinates occupy Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, and the surrounding land.

Among them, Jizhou is rich in products and sufficient food and grass. Although there was a Yellow Turban Rebellion before, it has recovered early now.

Although the current Yuan Shao doesn't pay much attention to the Han court at all, even some time ago he contacted Yuan Shu with the intention of setting up a new emperor because of the Xuchang emperor.

It's just that he hasn't even made a decision on the candidate for the new emperor now.

Who knew that Yuan Shu would be proclaimed emperor just like that?

Now that he is sitting on the land around him, he doesn't directly proclaim himself emperor, but wants to imitate Cao Cao and enshrine an emperor. How can he dare to do so slowly?
"My lord, the last general invites my lord to ascend the throne immediately!"

"My lord, we will surely conquer the world for my lord!"

At this time Yuan Shao's face was calm, but the generals under his command couldn't stand anymore.

As Chunyu Qiong spoke first, Yan Liang and others beside him also bowed to the ground together, and directly asked Yuan Shao to follow him to the throne.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and subconsciously wanted to agree.

However, he still glanced at Tian Feng, Xu You and others on the left.

The generals were begging him to follow him to the throne, but Xu You and the others didn't speak directly.

Yuan Shao was not a decisive person like Yuan Shu when he fell to the ground. Seeing that all the counselors were not in a hurry to speak, he subconsciously focused on a few of them.

Seeing Yuan Shao looking at himself and the others.

Xu You was the first to go out.

"My lord, from Xu You's point of view, the world is in great chaos, and the princes of the various counties in the world have three choices.

The first is to help the Han family wholeheartedly, the second is to usurp the Han and stand on its own, and the third is to use the name of supporting the Han to secretly act to usurp the Han and stand on its own!
Yuan Shu is eager for quick success, so it is a foolish move to blatantly usurp the Han and stand on his own. "

"And my lord, has always been far-sighted and farsighted. This time, I should take the way of self-improvement, watch the times and wait for changes, and control others after the development. This is what the lord should do!"

Following Xu You's opening, counselors followed suit.

"My lord, it's human nature for a group of generals to want to be the heroes of the founding of the country and leave a name in history!"

"However, although the great Han is now weak, and although the princes in various places are claiming hegemony, the Han court has not yet been completely defeated, and this is not the time for the lord to open the country and proclaim himself emperor.

Like peaches on a tree, the fruit is not yet ripe when the time comes. "

"Yuan Shu is eager to pick the fruit of the great man, and he will inevitably pick his hands full of thorns. The gain outweighs the loss!"

"This move will inevitably arouse the anger of the princes of the world, and lead troops to attack them!"

"As I expected, the shortest is a few months, and the longest is two or three years. Yuan Shu will surely perish!"

After saying this, Tian Feng on the side also stood up.

"My lord, you don't need to be upset about Yuan Shu brazenly proclaiming himself emperor. For you, this is not a bad thing, maybe it's a good thing, especially for sure!"

As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, Yuan Shao couldn't help raising his brows.

Yuan Shu has made me a minister, so what good can it do?
"Oh, I don't know Yuan Hao's opinion on this matter?"
