Chapter 323: Attacking Together

Yuan Shu was so bold and publicly proclaimed the emperor, and also accused Liu Xie of being a pseudo-emperor, such a bold thing was done, and the princes couldn't do it without making a response.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie could not tolerate such a move by Yuan Shu, a traitor, and issued an edict to the world to crusade against Yuan Shu. Liu Xie summoned Cao Cao and sharply demanded that Cao Cao must solve Yuan Shu.

Although Liu Xie was controlled by Cao Cao, he still had the authority to be the Son of Heaven, and now only Liu Yu could threaten Liu Xie's orthodox status as the Son of Heaven. If Liu Yu is called the emperor, Liu Xie really has nothing to do. Even if Liu Yu is called the emperor and Liu Xie abdicates, it will still be the Han Dynasty, but Yuan Shu is the emperor and the country, and he is ready to change the dynasty. If Yuan Shu continues to make it bigger, Liu Xie may become the king of the dead country.

Cao Cao's biggest card in his hand was Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, who was so stirred up by Yuan Shu that the situation became chaotic. Cao Cao was originally worried that Liu Yu would become emperor after he got Hanzhong, and he was afraid of losing his biggest card. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu had not yet been proclaimed emperor, and Yuan Shu jumped out first.

Cao Cao must exterminate Yuan Shu, and he immediately issued a condemnation to the world against Yuan Shu's great rebellion, and called on the loyal ministers of the Han family to raise troops together to eradicate this troubled Yuan Shu.

In fact, Cao Cao was most worried not about Yuan Shu, but about Liu Yu. Cao Cao has always avoided war with Liu Yu, and the main reason is the strong strength in Liu Yu's hands. If Liu Yu was proclaimed emperor at this time, Cao Cao would not be able to stop him, and he would not be able to estimate how the situation in the world would go.

Cao Cao can't take care of so much now, and Liu Yu said that it is not for him to be the emperor or not. Cao Cao still hoped in his heart that Liu Yu could think more about the situation of the Han Dynasty and not do anything to make Cao Cao embarrassed at this chaotic time.

In addition to Cao Cao, the first to respond was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the assassins of Xuzhou.

After Liu Bei took office as the assassin of Xuzhou, with the help of the Chen family and the Mi family, he made a huge discovery, and he actually controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. With enough strength, Liu Bei's waist also hardened. For a traitor like Yuan Shu, as the queen of Zhongshan Jing, the clan relative of the Han family, and Liu Bei, the assassin of Xuzhou, how could he not care.

Liu Bei condemned Yuan Shu and took the lead in sending an army to crusade against Yuan Shu, becoming the first person to crusade against Yuan Shu.

Liu Biao, who had a grudge against Yuan Shu, was not to be outdone, and sent a naval army to constantly threaten Yuan Shu's rule in Nanyang.

Yuan Shu said that the emperor had no influence on Liu Zhang, but in the final analysis, he was also a member of the Han family, and he just condemned it in a tough tone, and nothing else happened to him.

Yuan Shu had long expected that this group of people would do this, and he began to arrange with confidence, sending Ji Ling to fight Liu Bei, Chen Xun to deal with Liu Biao, and finally prepared 100,000 soldiers and horses, falsely claiming 500,000, and assaulting Xuchang.

Yuan Shu felt that his plan was seamless, and with the jade seal of the country in hand, the destiny of heaven returned, as long as he arrived, the local officials and the people would definitely bow down and bow down to greet him.

However, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, publicly condemned Yuan Shu, beheaded the officials sent by Yuan Shu, and declared himself free from Yuan Shu's rule.

Sun Ce didn't pay lip service, he was a man of action, and he directly sent a large army to cross the Yangtze River and attack the Lujiang River. Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang under Yuan Shu, was defeated by Sun Ce and surrendered directly to Sun Ce. Sun Cetun sent an envoy to Lujiang to contact Cao Cao and Liu Bei, preparing to join forces with them to destroy Yuan Shu. On Liu Biao's side, Sun Ce didn't contact him. Liu Biao and Sun Ce have a grudge against their father, but Sun Ce has always held a grudge, and it is impossible for him to join forces with Liu Biao.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and Liu Xie appointed Sun Ce as the assassin of Yangzhou and inherited the title of his father Sun Jian. At the same time, Cao Cao, in the name of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, issued an edict to Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Sun Ce to jointly attack Yuan Shu and eradicate the Han anti-thieves, and announced the world.

Yuan Shu's territory was compressed to Jianghuai at once, and was attacked by the enemy on all sides, Ji Ling's army confronted Liu Bei, Chen Xun and Liu Biao were circling in Nanyang, Sun Ce stabbed him in the back, and Cao Cao was the most powerful of them, and he had already sharpened his knife and killed.

And Yuan Shao in the north has already announced that he has disassociated himself from Yuan Shu, and he doesn't dare to have anything to do with him, a thief. At first, Yuan Shu didn't care, he and Yuan Shao didn't deal with each other in the first place.

Now Yuan Shu is unhappy, looking at this situation, he seems to be isolated, this is a bit wrong, didn't he plan to ascend to the heights and shout, the world will follow, and he will unify the world in one go. How did it become a crowd beating him alone?

In the face of such an unfavorable situation, Yuan Shu did not have much worry, and calmly responded to the attacks of the princes from all walks of life.

Yuan Shu doesn't know how to govern the country and rule the army, his generals are either thieves, or the previous Yellow Turban generals, except for Ji Ling, a rare general, the others are not strong, compared to the generals of other princes, they are a little out of the table.

This led to the fact that Yuan Shujun often suffered losses in the heads-up with the generals of the princes of thought, and there were too many generals who were killed on the spot. Among them, the most killed and the most ruthless belong to Sun Ce, which shows how much Sun Ce suffered in Yuan Shu back then, and now he has a personal vendetta.

Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and Yuan Shu hurriedly suggested to Yuan Shu that they could not fight with the princes in the future, and if this continued, Yuan Shu's army would have no generals available.

Yuan Shu rarely followed their advice, and ordered his subordinates not to fight with the enemy, and once there was a war, there was no need to talk about the rules of the battlefield, and the army rushed over directly.

Yuan Shu can be regarded as a precedent for not fighting generals in future wars.

But the soldiers of the princes are also very strong, even if one is exchanged for another, Yuan Shu's side will also suffer. In order to solve this problem, Yuan Shu incorporated all the men in the territory from sixty to thirteen years old into the army, intending to use the tactics of crowds to drown the army of the princes.

Except for Liu Bei, a prince who stresses benevolence and righteousness, the others don't care whether it is the people or the army on the other side, as long as they pick up their weapons and face them, they are the enemy, and those who should be killed still have to be killed.

However, due to the large increase in the number of Yuan Shu's troops, the princes had a very difficult time attacking, and even Liu Bei's troops were attacked by Ji Ling and suffered a big loss. And Cao Cao has been blocked in Runan.

Needless to say, Liu Biao has been wandering along the Yangtze River, and he is not angry among the princes who crusade against Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce was the closest to Shouchun, but he was personally conscripted by Yuan Shu, and 100,000 people rushed towards Sun Ce in the dark, and Sun Ce was forced to retreat to the Lujiang River in desperation.

Temporarily repelled the crusade of the princes, Yuan Shu began to be arrogant again, in front of him, the son of heaven, anyone is a chicken.

Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun and continued to enjoy the life he should have as an emperor.

Just when Yuan Shu thought he was at ease, a crisis had already come.
