Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Yuan Shu Proclaims Emperor
In February of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, took Shouchun as his capital, housed a hundred officials, and the country was named Zhongjia.

When this happened, the world was shocked!

In Jizhou, Hebei Province, Yuan Shao met civil and military affairs at court. Hearing this, he couldn't help being furious.

Yuan Shao's anger was not really angered by Yuan Shu's betrayal of the Han Dynasty.He already had a heart of disobedience, so how could he be angry about it.His anger was actually because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and overwhelmed him.In addition, it was also because he had asked Yuan Shu for a jade seal, but Yuan Shu ignored him.

Of course, there is another most important reason, which is to recruit the Yuan family.Yuan Shao is more rational than Yuan Shu, knowing that it is not the time to proclaim himself emperor, and those who proclaim themselves emperor will only be attacked by the crowd.

Sure enough, except for Yuan Shaonian who was inconvenient to declare war because of his brother's status, others such as Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and others all spoke unanimously to reprimand Yuan Shu.And Cao Cao, in the name of the emperor, called on the people of the world to attack Yuan Shu.

Not only that, Cao Cao even issued several edicts, ordering Lu Bu to eradicate the traitors and send troops to Huainan; ordering Liu Bei to summon soldiers and send troops to Huainan as well.Of course, it is impossible for Cao Cao to forget Liu Yu, and the same edict asked him to fight with Yuan Shu.

If Cao Cao is the most urgent and the loudest thunder, then Liu Yu is the second most urgent and the second loudest thunder.

No, the first time he heard Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Yu issued an edict to the world, angrily reprimanded Yuan Shu, and called on people with lofty ideals to punish him together.Of course, he naturally took the opportunity to recruit so-called people with lofty ideals.Not only that, he also made an appearance of gathering a large army and sending troops out of Huainan.

However, this is merely an act of expression.In private, he sent people to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao to send troops; on the other hand, he sent people to Zhang Xiu to find out and make contact, so that when he attacked Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu would suddenly join Cao Cao.In addition, he is even tighter on the outside and tighter on the inside, and is more actively preparing.

Not to mention Liu Yu, but Liu Biao, when he heard that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately issued an edict to the world to express his position.But when it comes to sending troops, his civil and military members have conflicts.And he himself, in fact, is somewhat contradictory. He intends to send troops, but he is not firm.In addition, at this time, he finally tasted the bitter fruit of the gentry. Even if he really made up his mind to send troops, he might not be able to send troops.Gain's gentry is too strong, and he doesn't have the right to speak in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was vacillating, not knowing whether he would send troops or not.On the other hand, Sun Ce was powerless and wanted to send troops, but he was unable to attack Huainan because of the Jiangdong incident.Therefore, after he issued an edict to the world and reprimanded Yuan Shu, he did nothing.

All the princes from all walks of life made moves, even Zhang Xiu, who was not related, followed the trend and reprimanded Yuan Shu.This made Yuan Shu very upset, but he couldn't attack Zhang Xiu across the border.But another person who made him unhappy, he had a way to take revenge.

It was naturally not Liu Yu who made him upset, but Lu Bu from Xuzhou.It turned out that as soon as Yuan Shu became emperor, he made Lu Bu's daughter the concubine of the East Palace, and ordered someone to take Lu Bu's daughter over.But as soon as the news reached Xuzhou, Lu Bu regretted it and did not send his daughter to Shouchun.Later, Lu Bu sent Han Yin to Xudu, where he was beheaded by Cao Cao.

When Yuan Shu heard the news, he was furious immediately.Afterwards, regardless of March 21 and [-], he directly worshiped Zhang Xun as a general, commanded an army of more than [-] troops, and conquered Xuzhou in seven routes.

General Zhang Xun of the first road is in the middle, Qiao Rui of the second road is on the left, general Chen Ji of the third road is on the right, deputy general of the fourth road is Lei Bo on the left, deputy general of the fifth road is Chen Lan on the right, general Han Xian of the sixth road is on the left, and general of the seventh road is on the left. The surrendered general Yang Feng is on the right.All the leaders and subordinates will set off soon.In addition, he ordered Jin Shang, the governor of Yanzhou, to be the Taiwei to supervise the transportation of seven routes of money and grain.However, Jin Shang refused, and Yuan Shu was furious again, and directly killed Jin Shang.

In the end, Yuan Shu asked Ji Ling to serve as the envoys of the Seven Routes, while he himself led [-] troops, and made Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Lejiu the envoys to support the soldiers of the Seven Routes.

This is Yuan Shu's background, he can pull up 20 horses casually.

Lu Bu heard that Yuan Shu was attacking, and when he was inquired by others, he learned that Zhang Xun's army took Xuzhou from the main road, Qiao Rui's army took Xiaopei, Chen Ji's army took Yidu, Lei Bo's army took Langya, and Chen Lan's army Take Jieshi, the first army of Han Siam took Xiapi, and the first army of Yang Feng took Junshan: the Seventh Route Army and horses traveled fifty miles a day, and plundered the future on the road.

The situation was urgent, so Lu Bu immediately summoned all his advisers to discuss, and Chen Gong, Chen Gui and his sons all came.

As soon as Chen Gong came, he said loudly: "The disaster in Xuzhou was caused by Chen Gui and his sons. They flattered the imperial court in order to obtain a title, and today they blamed the general. You can behead the heads of the two and offer Yuan Shu, and the army will retreat."

After hearing what he said, Lu Bu thought it made sense, and immediately ordered Chen Gui and Chen Deng to be captured.

That Chen Deng is a man of the lake and the sea, not afraid, but laughed and said: "Haha, why are you so cowardly? I see the soldiers of the Seven Routes as seven piles of rotten weeds, why do you mind!"

Lu Bu frowned, but he heard that Chen Deng's self-confidence seemed to be able to solve Yuan Shu's disaster.In addition, he also felt that Chen Gong's strategy was too cowardly, so he asked in a deep voice: "If you have a plan to defeat the enemy, I will spare you the death penalty."

Chen Deng always looked indifferent, but his heart was still a bit awe-inspiring.After Lu Bu asked for advice, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If the general follows the old man's words, Xuzhou will be safe."

Lu Bu was already attracted, and immediately said: "Oh, Ji Jiangan?"

Chen Deng smiled proudly, and said: "Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and horses, they are all Wuhe troops, and they are not trusted. I defend them with regular soldiers, and win them with surprise soldiers. There is another plan, not only to protect Xuzhou, but also to capture Yuan Shu alive. .”

"Quickly tell me, is there any plan to capture Yuan Shu alive?"

After hearing the question, Chen Deng said in a leisurely manner: "Han Xian and Yang Feng are old ministers of the Han Dynasty. They left because they were afraid of Cao Cao. Relying on the ruler book to form an internal response, and even Liu Bei to form an external cooperation, Yuan Shu must be captured."

When Lu Bu heard the words, he felt that it was feasible, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "You must go to Han Xian and Yang Feng to write the letter."

In order to save his life, how could Chen Deng dare to refuse?
Sure enough, as Chen Deng said, he immediately persuaded Han Xian and Yang Feng to rebel against Yuan and return to Lu.When Yuan Shu learned of this, he couldn't bear it, and immediately sent troops to attack Lu Bu.

Since then, there have been wars between Lu and Yuan for days, and the flames of war burned all over Huainan and Xuzhou, which was extremely tragic.

Naturally, the other lords would not be idle either. Cao Cao sent troops to Nanyang, intending to conquer Zhangxiu in a single battle;

The princes of the world are all sharpening their swords, wanting to show revenge.Of course, Liu Yu is no exception, but what is Liu Yu busy with?
