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

Chapter 181 Your Majesty, Don't Be Fooled by Yuan Shu
After a group of counselors advised Yuan Shao in Yecheng, Hebei, he finally did not listen to the idea of ​​those generals and Yuan Shu proclaiming emperor together.

Yuan Shao chose Xu You's advice and wrote a letter back to Yuan Shu.

I just expressed my congratulations, and by the way, I was a little bit weird.

And at the same time.

The news about Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor has already been featured in the big Han newspapers and periodicals in Xuchang.

Brothers Xu Jing and Xu Shao commented frantically on Yuan Shu's usurping the title in the newspapers.

He almost pointed at Yuan Shu's nose and cursed.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who had just led his troops to occupy the Sili area and was planning to go north to attack Hanoi, also received news about Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor.

Because the news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor was too sudden, it directly disrupted Cao Cao's original plan to attack Hanoi.

In Cao Jun's big tent this time, the anger was a little weird.

Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the head of the big tent, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others sat on the left, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals sat on the right.

At this time, no one in the big tent made a sound.

The original pace of attacking the Hanoi area has been put on hold for the time being.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to suppress the news from Xuchang, and raised his eyebrows.

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"

After a while, Cao Cao couldn't help but speak out.

The people below didn't speak, they all looked at Cao Cao.

The latter paused for a moment and stood up with his hands on the table: "Although I look down on that Yuan Shu, I have always regarded him as a hero from the beginning to the end!"

"Hahaha!"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous that I, Cao Mengde, got it wrong!"

Cao Cao laughed, he was somewhat astonished to hear the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor!

Why did he, Yuan Shu, dare to proclaim himself emperor at this time, and even pretended that he had some kind of destiny, saying that it was his turn to inherit the destiny of a great man!

"What kind of hero is he, Yuan Shu? He's just an arrogant fool!"

Cao Cao sneered.

Right now, because of Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor, and because of his great Han Sikong, he must be an example now.

The Hanoi area is temporarily unable to attack.

Although Zhang Yang is mediocre, it is not too difficult to stick to Hanoi.

Moreover, he has always treated his generals well, and it is difficult to easily win Hanoi.

Originally, he was aiming that even if this battle was delayed until the end of the year, it would be fine.

But now, after Yuan Shu declared himself emperor, this matter could no longer be delayed.

He must call on the princes of the world to attack Yuan Shu together.

Otherwise, the face of the Han court will be wiped out.

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the advice he had asked Xi Yu earlier for this battle.

The other party told him at the beginning that they packed up and prepared to deal with Yuan Shu.

It is somewhat unrealistic to say that Xi Yu knew the news that Yuan Shu was going to proclaim himself emperor in advance. It can only be said that Feng Yi's vision is too far-sighted.

He probably expected Yuan Shu to act rebelliously!
At this moment, Cao Cao regretted it a little. If he had listened to Xi Yu's suggestion and waited for Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor, and then went to attack Yuan Shu, he wouldn't have made the trip in vain.

However, although the westward advance was delayed by Yuan Shu's affairs, it was not a serious problem.

Cao Cao looked up at the crowd.

"Everyone, that guy Yuan Shu has assumed the title of emperor, what do you think our army is doing now?"

Asked to the people below, Cao Cao's eyes fell on the people in front of him.

At this time, Cao Ren and the others didn't know what to say.

It was originally planned to attack Hanoi, but the army marched to the Sili area in Hanoi, and it took a lot of effort even with these days.

Zhang Yang on the opposite side has already lost two consecutive battles.

In a little more time this time, the army will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Yang's troops in one fell swoop, and the Hanoi area will definitely be controlled by Cao Cao.

However, what no one expected was that something like Yuan Shu would happen at such a critical moment.

"My lord, I suggest that we ignore the matter of Yuan Shu for the time being. Our army is occupying such a huge advantage in the conquest of Hanoi. In a few days, we will definitely be able to capture the entire Hanoi area in one fell swoop!"

Cao Ren thought for a while and then spoke up.

In his opinion, the current Han Dynasty would have collapsed a long time ago. If his elder brother hadn't enshrined the emperor, the Han Dynasty might have perished long ago.

So what if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor now?

For the time being, it will not affect them.

For Cao Jun right now, taking advantage of this opportunity to attack Hanoi is the best time.

If the entire Hanoi area can be taken down in one fell swoop, and if you continue westward, you can point your sword at Chang'an and other places.

Going north can also completely isolate Yuan Shao.

But now, the other party has not completely controlled the entire Bingzhou area in Yuan Shao's just now.

This is the most important opportunity for Cao Cao today!

When Cao Ren said this, Cao Cao thought the same thing in his heart, but although some things were clear, he was still limited after all.

If he ignored the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor today, then the majesty of the Han court in Xuchang might be compromised because of it.

In the future, I am afraid that the princes of the world will not care about the act of coercing the emperor to order the princes.

And this situation is the most critical for Cao Cao.

He wants to calm down the world, the great flag of the emperor must be erected now to ensure the existence of majesty.

Yuan Shu proclaimed emperor rashly, he was provoking the majesty of the Han court.

Cao Cao didn't speak, and Cao Hong and the others followed after Cao Ren finished speaking.

Probably for these beheaded generals, the battle before them is the most critical.

As for Yuan Shu, it won't be too late to turn around and deal with Yuan Shu after Zhang Yang is dealt with.

However, Cao Cao did not make up his mind.

And at this moment, Xun You on the left finally spoke.

"My lord, the news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor has already spread to the world. The princes of the world must be very angry about it."

"And the lord is Sikong of the imperial court, who is in charge of the administration and military power. Now that the princes of the world have not made any movement, I think they just sit and watch the lord's reaction!"

"If my lord doesn't take measures against Yuan Shu at the first time this time, the prestige of the imperial court will be ruined!"

"At that time, in this world, I am afraid that not only Yuan Shu will become emperor!"

When Xun You opened his mouth, he directly expressed the pros and cons, and Cao Cao, who heard this, knew it very well.

He must express his position immediately.

Not even for too long.

"Withdraw the troops and return to Xuchang!"

Cao Cao sighed and opened his mouth helplessly, then looked to Cheng Yu who was on the side.

"Zhong De, write down Yuan Shu's crimes in a cursive inscription as soon as possible, and then summon the world!"

"From today onwards, the army will pack up and return to Xuchang. I want to report to His Majesty, and then discuss the crusade against Yuan Shu!"

After making a decision in his heart, Cao Cao didn't hesitate at all.

It's just giving up the Hanoi area right now, and he will take it down sooner or later, but the majesty of the Han court cannot be lost now.

Comparing the two, Cao Cao naturally distinguishes the priorities.

At this time, Cao Ren and the others didn't say much when they heard Cao Cao's order.

However, it will take several days for the army to return to Xuchang.

After all, the 20 troops couldn't just withdraw in such a haste because of Yuan Shu's affairs, it still needed to be coordinated.

……

Because of Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor, Cao Cao began to summon the world to speak out about Yuan Shu's crimes, and at the same time prepared to return to Xuchang to discuss the crusade against Yuan Shu.

And at the same time.

Lu Bu, who was heading towards Shouchun at the moment, also received the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.

Even after learning that Lv Bu had entered Yangzhou, Yuan Shu immediately sent envoys to meet Lv Bu.

Yuan Shu came to inform Lu Bu that his lord was proclaiming himself emperor, and he wanted to reward Lu Bu as a general under Yuan Shu's command.

After hearing these words, Lu Bu was a little confused for the first time!

To be honest, the title of Great General really moved Lu Bu a little, but Cao Xing, who was right next to him, couldn't help admonishing Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Yuan Shu!"

When Cao Xing opened his mouth, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the other party. Now there are not many people around him who can give him advice.

He missed Chen Gong a little.

It's a pity that Chen Gong didn't serve him at the beginning, and when he captured Yanzhou, the two were just a cooperative relationship.

Although Cao Xing's resourcefulness is not outstanding at the moment, sometimes his words are quite reasonable.

"I'll keep talking!"

Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xing, his face didn't change at all.

Seeing Lu Bu questioning Cao Xing, he did not hesitate at all: "Your Marquis is the marquis who was conferred by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Now that the Han court is still here, Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor is an act of rebellion!"

"Since Junhou entered Luoyang, he has killed the country's thieves and protected the emperor. He is the most pure and pure Han official!"

"Nowadays, Yuan Shu just occupies a mere area of ​​Yangzhou, and pretends to be the emperor. If a prince gives up his position as a prince and takes over Yuan Shu's unreal title of general, wouldn't he be willing to degenerate!"

In the final analysis, what Cao Xing meant was that Yuan Shu only had a palm-sized territory in Yangzhou, so he pretended to be the emperor.

The general he named was nothing at all.

You, Lu Bu, are now a serious Marquis of the Han Dynasty, which cannot be compared with that of Yuan Shu, a great general.

All in all, Yuan Shu is not worthy of him!
After Cao Xing's voice fell, Lu Bu immediately figured it out.

Yes!

That guy Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor just by occupying the land of Yangzhou, this is purely sick!

Although he, Lu Bu, is too lazy to think too much on weekdays, he can still think clearly about some things.

Why do you, Yuan Shu, call yourself emperor.

Moreover, I gave up on Bingzhou and came here with an army thousands of miles away. This time, I came here to cooperate with you. You turned your head and proclaimed yourself emperor, but in the end you want me to be your younger brother?
I really thought Lu Bu was so easy to bully.

This time I came here because of the name of the Yuan family, but you, Yuan Shu, are so stupid that you want to drag me into the water together, you really think I am a reckless man.

Lu Bu's face gradually sank.

At this moment, he is already a little lucky, but fortunately he has not yet arrived in Yangzhou, otherwise he would wait until Yangzhou to see that guy Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor in front of him.

Maybe he himself will be blown up!
At this time Lu Bu thought of his own daughter again, and that girl didn't know where she went this time.

But, fortunately, that girl has been taught by herself all the year round. Although her physical strength is not first-class, it is more than enough to protect herself.

After leaving Lu Qiling behind for the time being, Lu Bu had difficulties again at this time.

Now he has come to the Yangzhou area.

And Bingzhou has been given up by him, and he can't go back this time.

But he couldn't bear to treat Yuan Shu like this obediently as his younger brother.

"What should we do now?"

Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xing, and it seemed that he had approved the other party's remonstrance just now.

Seeing that Lu Bu recognized him, Cao Xing bowed his head and thought for a while.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, it will inevitably invite the princes of the world to discuss it!"

"My lord may have three choices this time!"

When Cao Xing opened his mouth, Lu Bu couldn't help being interested when he heard this.

This kid can think of three options?

"Tell me!"

Lu Bu looked squarely at him, which is the attitude of a lord in this era when he listens to the advice of his subordinates.

Seeing Lu Bu like this, Cao Xing didn't stop.

"One: the princes can be like the princes of the world to fight against Yuan Shu together, this time the prince has gone deep into Yangzhou, and can be the No. 1 crusade against Yuan Shu in the world.

After the lord sends out the call, the princes of the world will surely respond, and this move will also make the lord famous in the world! "

After saying the first choice, Lu Bu frowned.

Directly attacking Yuan Shu, Cao Xing still sees it as too simple.

He only brought [-] Xiliang soldiers this time, and although Yuan Shu only occupied Yangzhou, his soldiers numbered at least hundreds of thousands.

What's more, in the strong city of Shouchun City, [-] to hundreds of thousands is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

"go on!"

For the first choice, Lu Bu did not continue to listen.

Although on the surface, this suggestion is really good, and it can even become famous.

But I am in Yuan Shu's territory, using [-] troops to deal with the opponent, this is not courting death, but what I am doing.

Once he broke his face with Yuan Shu and the other party joined forces to attack him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to wait for those princes to attack Yuan Shu.

What's more, when those princes crusade against Yuan Shu is another matter!
Lu Bu didn't listen to the first suggestion, and Cao Xing didn't think much about it, and continued to speak after thinking about it.

"Secondly, it is the king's appointment to join Yuan Shu. This is a desperate strategy!"

Before Cao Xing finished speaking, Lu Bu shook his head immediately when he heard this: "It's a bad idea, so don't say more, talk about what other options you have!"

Lu Bu was already a little impatient, and seeing that the other party was a little sullen, Cao Xing quickly followed suit.

"The last choice is to tell Yuan Shu that although he does not recognize the other party as emperor, he still forms an alliance with the other party, but this time he cannot continue to Shouchun!

You should choose a good place to develop on your own! "

After saying this, Lu Bu frowned.

Listen carefully, only the third choice is still pertinent!
However, if you choose a good place, you should choose there. Could it be that he turned his head to fight Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

This time along the way, he has already fought with Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu and others.

Although there were few losses, there was nothing they could do with Zhang Xiu and others. It was not a good choice to turn around and attack Jingzhou.

Lu Bu frowned, and he looked at Cao Xing: "Choose a good place, where do you think is suitable now?"

When asked what is the right place, Cao Xing knew that Lu Bu had already chosen the third way out in his heart.

And in his opinion, if there is a suitable place now, it is the land of Xuzhou!

One, the Dahan newspaper published before that Cao Cao led an army of 20 to march westward. Now, Xuzhou must not have too many troops in the rear!

On the other hand, Xuzhou borders Yuan Shu's territory. If they attack Xuzhou, they can also take the opportunity to ask Yuan Shu for some food, grass and military supplies.

In this way, it can go smoothly!
Thinking in this way, Cao Cao followed suit.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Xuzhou is pretty good!"

"This time when Cao Cao leads the army to march westward, it is just the time for the prince to enter Xuzhou!"

Although there have been disasters in Dahan these years, Xuzhou has almost recovered after two years of recovery!

And Xuzhou has always been a rich place for big men before.

If Xuzhou can be won, it may be a very good way out for Lu Bu.

Hearing what Cao Xing said, Lu Bu's eyes lit up instantly.

Xuzhou is not bad!

Now, Yuan Shao forced him to leave Bingzhou, and there was a gap between him and Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao was out with a large army this time, and Xuzhou was a good time for him to attack. Now he is not far from Xuzhou, and he only needs to pass through Shouchun to attack Xuzhou all the way north.

"That's right, it's Xuzhou!"

After Lu Bu made up his mind, he directly informed Yuan Shu's envoy.

Tell him that he came here this time to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, not to be a vassal. He can congratulate Yuan Shu for being emperor this time, but he will never be a vassal.

After Yuan Shu's envoy returned, Lu Bu cursed Yuan Shu secretly in his heart.

However, after having a new goal, Lu Budao did not delay the march, and after greeting his subordinates, he continued to come to Shouchun.

at noon the next day.

Lu Bu led the Xiliang army to the outside of Shouchun, and when he learned that Lu Bu was coming, Yuan Shu put on the emperor's airs and waited for him to come to court.

However, Lu Bu ignored him. He told Yuan Shu that if you want to continue the alliance, you, Yuan Shu, don't lose your temper.

"What a Lu Fengxian, he is still so presumptuous in my territory!"

After getting Lu Bu's response, Yuan Shu was furious in the newly built temporary palace.

However, at this time, all the officials under him still couldn't help admonishing.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is a well-known man in the world, Your Majesty should treat him with some respect!"

"In the past, when King Wen of Zhou invited Lu Shang, he treated him with humility. King Wu of Zhou even carried Lu Shang on his back for hundreds of feet. Only in this way can the great Zhou rule the world for 800 years!"

"Although Lu Bu is a talented man like Lu Shang, he is also a rare general in the world. Since he has formed an alliance with His Majesty, His Majesty will treat him with courtesy!"

Some of the officials under his command remonstrated, and then all the officials followed suit.

After all, in the eyes of these Shouchun officials, Yuan Shu's strength is still somewhat lacking.

Lu Bu did not express any hostility this time, and even expressed his intention to go north to Xuzhou.

This is completely acceptable to Shouchun Baiguan.

Right now there is no need to turn against Lu Bu over such a trivial matter.

After hearing the advice of all the officials under his command, Yuan Shu frowned and fell silent.

He looked up at the officials under his command.
