Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 290 Yuan Shu Proclaims Emperor
"Why are you so panicked!"

Seeing that Xun Yu was so flustered, Cao Cao asked hurriedly.

"Prime Minister, something is wrong. Yuan Shu in Huainan has declared himself emperor and rebelled because the prime minister refused to designate him as a grand master. He has taken down Guangling in Xuzhou yesterday. Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, Che Zhou and Liu Dai, the guards of Xuzhou, wrote together. Send a letter, requesting the prime minister's army to come to the rescue!"

With that said, Xun Yu handed the letter in his hand to Cao Cao.

"Presumptuous, and turned against him!"

Cao Cao slammed the table angrily.

It turned out that Yuan Shu had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Huainan, and had enough food and grass, so he had long been dissatisfied. He was very dissatisfied when he heard that Yuan Shao was named a general and Cao Cao was appointed prime minister.

You know, he was the best of his generation in Luoyang City back then, and he worked in the General's Mansion at a young age, and he was the one who contributed the most to killing the eunuchs, and he also participated in the campaign against Dong Zhuo. Now there is a large area of ​​land and soldiers, but the official position is not as large as these two people!

So Yuan Shu wrote to ask to be named grand master, but how could Cao Cao refuse directly as he wished, and even scolded Yuan Shu for being shameless.

Yuan Shu was originally a violent temper, but he became angry, turned his face directly, built a palace, made a carriage frame, and then wanted to add a yellow robe and become an emperor.

Yuan Shu summoned all the generals and said: "In the past, the emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was only the head of a pavilion on Sishang, but he controlled the world; now the calendar year is four hundred years old, and the spirit is exhausted, and the sea is full of turmoil. My family has four generations and three princes, and the people belong to it; Ninety-five. If I am the emperor, you and others will be ministers!"

Therefore, Yuan Shu founded the country as the Zhong family, established the capital in Shouchun, established officials such as Taiwan Province, rode on dragon and phoenix chariots, sacrificed to the southern and northern suburbs, made his wife the queen, and established his son as the East Palace.

Because he hated Cao Cao's refusal to take his official position, he worshiped Zhang Xun as a general, commanded an army of more than [-] troops, and divided Xuzhou into seven routes: the first route was the general Zhang Xun in the middle, the second route was Qiao Rui on the left, and the third route Chen Ji is on the right, deputy general Lei Bo of the fourth is on the left, deputy general Chen Lan of the fifth is on the right, general Han Xian of the sixth is on the left, and general Yang Feng of the seventh is on the right.

The seven-way army totaled 20, and Haohao Tangtang killed Xuzhou.

In three days, Guangling was captured, and the city of Xiapi was ruled directly in Xuzhou Prefecture. The chariot was in a hurry!
After receiving this news, Cao Cao hurriedly summoned his subordinates and generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover! It's only 20 troops. Back then, there were more than one million people in Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and I could take them down. Do you still have to be afraid of Yuan Shu's 20 troops?"

Xiahoudun said, because Xiahoudun was shot blind in one eye by Cao Xing in Pengcheng, so now he looks very hideous.But the fact that he ate his eyeballs also spread among Cao Jun, and everyone in Cao Jun knew Xiahou Dun's vigor.

"Yuan Rang, sit down, how can you make a fuss about this!"

Cao Cao scolded.

Xiahouyuan, who was next to Xiahoudun, was also Xiahoudun's younger brother, and he also gave Xiahoudun a hand.

"Hehe, I think General Yuan Rang is right!"

At this moment, Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao's number one adviser, stood up and spoke.

"Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and horses, most of the soldiers in the army are ordinary young and strong, and they were forced into the army by Yuan Shu. Therefore, the fighting power of Yuan Shu's army is far inferior to that of our army!"

After a pause, Xi Zhicai said again: "Secondly, although Yuan Shu's attack is fierce, the generals under his command are all greedy for money. They all deducted the soldiers' salaries. In this way, the soldiers will definitely not fight desperately! "

"The third thing is that Liu Wei from Liaozhou can retreat Yuan Shao's 60 army with 20. Could it be that we can't even defeat Yuan Shu's [-] army?"

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao's civil servants and generals nodded, thinking that Xi Zhicai was right, especially the last one inspired their fighting spirit. They didn't think they were inferior to the generals of the Liaozhou Army!

In fact, Xi Zhi wanted to repel Yuan Shu so much, or was so eager to fight, because of his classmate and friend Guo Jia, he didn't think his ability was inferior to Guo Jia.He even thought that he was much stronger than Guo Jia, but I heard that the reason why Liu Wei was able to repel Yuan Shao was because Guo Jia arranged a surprise cavalry, if not for the cavalry arranged by Guo Jia, Liu Wei might have wiped out the entire army , so this aroused his desire to compare with Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, I'm looking forward to the day when I will confront you on the battlefield. I want you to see who chooses the lord who is the true destiny!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes shone brightly.

"Well, since Yuan Shu has already fought at my door, if I don't fight again, I will be a shrinking turtle!"

Cao Cao, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Cao Ren listens! I order you to lead an army of [-] horses to resist Qiao Rui on the left!"

"Here!"

"Xia Houyuan obeys the order! I order you to lead an army of [-] horses to resist Chen Ji on the right!"

"Here!"

"Cao Hong listen! I order you to lead [-] troops to resist Lei Bo on the left!"

"Here!"

"Zhang Liao listen! I order you to lead [-] troops to resist Chen Lan on the right!"

"Here!"

"Zang Ba listens! I order you to lead an army of [-] horses to resist Han Siam on the left!"

"Here!"

"Li Dian listen! I order you to lead [-] troops to resist Yang Feng on the right!"

"Here!"

"Xu Chu, Xia Houdun, Xi Zhicai and I led an army of [-] to resist Zhang Xun in the middle road. It seems that this kid has not suffered enough. This time he will definitely die here! The rest of the people guard Yanzhou for me. , Xun Yu, you are responsible for the supply of food and grass!"

"Here!"

All the people in Cao Cao's tent stood up together and answered Cao Cao.

"I will immediately enter the palace and ask His Majesty for orders!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao immediately entered the palace, reported to Liu Xie his intention of coming, and explained to Liu Xie that Yuan Shu raised troops to proclaim himself emperor and rebelled.

This frightened the little emperor Liu Xie, who was sweating and asked Cao Cao what his odds were.

Cao Cao gave the little emperor a cold look, and thought to himself, you usually ask those ministers to discuss and ask me to replace me, do you think I don't know, now someone rebelled, you think of me, what to think about!
So Cao Cao didn't give Liu Xie a letter of approval, but just said: "The thieves are so powerful, there are many thieves and I am few, I can only do my best. As for whether we can win, it all depends on God's will!"

"The prime minister must return victorious this time. I don't want to ruin the 400-year foundation of the big man!"

At this time, Liu Xie was so anxious that he was about to cry. In the past, neither Dong Zhuo nor Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the government.Although he is a puppet, they are all very respectful to Zi on the surface, but this time is different. This Yuan Shu is a serious rebellion, this is the rhythm of replacing himself!
