Chapter 302: The Seven Heroes of the New Warring States

The change still happened from Yuan Shu's side.

"Lord, don't do it!"

"Lord, we are just temporarily frustrated, don't do such extreme things."

The man on the stage couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Enough! I have made up my mind on this matter. ”

His remnants of the civil and military generals had to return in a huff, and no one was happy that they could be any generals, three dukes or the like.

Yuan Shu's mind is very complicated and simple, he became the emperor when he was declining, and normal people would think that he had gone crazy.

However, he thinks that he is the most noble clan in the world, and now that the world has collapsed, any messy villain can be crowned with him everywhere. This was an insult to him, and he felt extremely ashamed of Yuan Highway.

He shouted, "Li Feng! Do you have a count of who supports and who disagrees? ”

Standing aside, the tall general in charge of Yuan Shu's guards stepped forward and said, "Tell the Lord...... Your Majesty, among the generals, only Chen Lan and Lei Bo did not oppose it, and none of the civil servants supported it. ”

"Well, it's just these two?"

Li Feng replied, "Please rest assured, my lord, all the soldiers and horses of my department support your decision." ”

Yuan Shu said, "I also want Zhang Xun, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Lian to serve me in important positions." In that case, whatever they want, after all, they are all well-born guys. ”

"They only know that I am unlucky, but they don't know that the strength of the great man has long been exhausted. Fire gives birth to earth, and today it should be inherited by me, the descendant of Emperor Shun. ”

In June of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor in Shouchun, and the name Zhong was established, and he was placed as the secretary. Wantonly built the palace, he, his son, nephews, and hundreds of people in the harem were extremely poor and luxurious, and allowed the soldiers to plunder the people freely.

Feng Zhang Xun was the general, Jiangdong Sun Ce was the hussar general, Lujiang Liu Xun was the chariot general, and Yang Hong, Yuan Lian, and Yan Xiang were the three dukes.

As a result, everyone did not accept it, and Sun Ce also very kindly persuaded him not to be the emperor, so as not to bring about his own destruction. Yuan Shu had no mental understanding, and Sun Ce was completely independent from the Yuan Shu group.

No one accepted Yuan Shu's position, so he had to make Li Feng, the general of Wei, a general. Chen Lan and Lei Bo were promoted from left and right generals to hussars and chariot generals. The remaining three princes and important ministers have immediate family members, peddlers and pawns.

Yuan Shu became the emperor, especially when he was close to the end of the road, which completely shocked the world.

The imperial court controlled by Li Ru and others denounced Yuan Shu as soon as possible.

Cao Cao personally wrote a crusade against Yuan Shu and fought against Buchen for the Son of Heaven.

Under the instruction of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao united the surrounding forces such as Liu Bei, Lü Bu, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce, and agreed to exterminate Yuan Shu together. Suddenly, the army gathered, and the remnants of Yuan Shu were defeated.

The people under Yuan Shu immediately made a choice with their feet, and they all took refuge in the powerful forces around them.

Guangling Taishou Wu Jing and general Sun Ben were originally relatives of Sun Ce and directly took refuge in Jiangdong. The general Zhang Xun and the strategist Yang Hong also wanted to take refuge with Sun Ce, but were intercepted and captured by Sun Ce's rival Liu Xun.

The scribe Shu Shao had been trying his best to stop the widespread cannibalism, but Yuan Shu only cared about snatching food to the palace and deliberately let the people accompany the burial. Shu Shao had no choice but to welcome Liu Bei south.

However, the biggest beneficiary is Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu had an army of 50,000 or 60,000 at this time, stationed in the northern region to guard against Cao Cao. Under the persuasion of Xu Yan and Wang Kai sent by the Chen Palace, Yuan Lian, who was well aware of Lü Bu's prestige, led several counties such as Zhongli, Yinling, Dongcheng, and Huailing to directly join Lü Bu.

Lü Bu soon personally led his troops and horses south, receiving tens of thousands of surrendered troops while preparing to attack Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu originally thought that Cao Cao would arrive first, but he didn't expect that it was his former ally who killed him first, and he was angry and led the Imperial Forest Army to fight against Lu Bu.

The general Li Feng has always been Yuan Shu's guard, and he thinks that he is the top three in the world of martial arts, and he even asks to go head-to-head with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu readily agreed, and the two of them each held Fang Tian's halberd and fought alone in front of the army.

Without counting, Lu Bu killed Li Feng and directly rushed into battle to catch Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was shocked, ordered his subordinates to line up to resist, led a small number of guards, abandoned the army and fled to Shouchun. These 40,000 or 50,000 well-equipped soldiers and horses only resisted slightly, and then took refuge in Lu Bu.

Let's say that Yuan Shu fled back to Shouchun, but he couldn't enter the city at all.

The hussar general Chen Lan and the chariot general Lei Bo, who were arranged to stay behind, were originally bandits. They saw that Shouchun had countless grains, property, and palaces, and after Yuan Shu led the army to leave, they directly committed chaos and robbery.

However, because Yuan Shu robbed the people's wealth too much, more than 20,000 bandits robbed for a day and did not rob half of it. They didn't worry about Yuan Shu coming back, but when they heard that Lu Bu was coming, they felt that their property might not be guaranteed, so they went out of the city to Tianzhu Mountain and fell into the grass.

Yuan Shu didn't know that half of Shouchun City was still alive, and he didn't dare to enter the city, so he went directly to Lujiang to take refuge.

Lu Bu chased to Shouchun, and saw that this place had been looted, but there were still nearly 100,000 palace people and people, especially the palace city was guarded by soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to be easily captured by bandits, so only a part of it was burned, and most of the personnel were intact.

At the suggestion of Chen Gong, Lu Bu warned Cao Cao that he would definitely kill Yuan Shu's people in the near future. He, Lu Bu, was originally an ally of Yuan Shu, but when he saw him go crazy and claim the emperor, he attacked him and took over to protect this place.

Sure enough, such words gave Shouchun City, who had just suffered a terrifying catastrophe, hope to live. Under the leadership of the Empress Feng of Yuan Shu, he took refuge in Lü Bu peacefully.

Although Lu Bu was a ruthless man who was accustomed to fighting on the frontier, he also knew that these coerced people should not be slaughtered. So the concubines, palace e, and the people were moved to the safer Xuzhou border in the east, and there was no harm in making good arrangements.

When Cao Cao led the army through a large area of no-man's land formed by hunger, and arrived at Shouchun, all he saw was the empty city and the imperial palace.

He sent troops to exterminate the unsubordinate for the Son of Heaven, burned down the palace city, and arrested a group of Yuan Shu's "villains" and killed them to warn those who dared to usurp the emperor.

He heard that Lu Bu occupied a large area such as the northern part of Jiujiang County, and accepted a large number of palace people from the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, but he did not kill them.

On the one hand, he went to the court and reprimanded Lü Bu for harboring the corresponding personnel of the puppet emperor, and on the other hand, he occupied Huainan and prepared to fight Lü Bu.

However, the side of Huainan near Yuzhou was deserted, and the army could only rely on grain transshipment in the rear. Cao Cao had no choice but to arrange for the displaced people to Tuntian, and later slowly plotted against Yuan Shu in the south and Lu Bu in the strong.

Lü Bu also obtained 70,000 or 80,000 remnants of Yuan Shu's army, a large number of armor, grain and grass, and population, and officially rose to become the seventh dominant force.

Xiliang Han Sui, Qin Jin Tongyuan, Jizhou Yuan Shao, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou Lu Bu, Yangzhou Sun Ce, Jingzhou Liu Biao, these seven military very powerful forces, in this era are known as the New Seven Heroes for hegemony.

They soon launched a fierce campaign, setting off a new era.
