"My lord, Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou again, this time to unite with Liu Bei to exterminate Lu Bu."

Zhao Hui is now by Zhang Xue's side almost every day.

However, Xu Shu will still come to report some important information to Zhao Hui.

Especially about the information of other princes, Xu Shu will send it to Zhao Hui as soon as possible.

Lu Bu asked Xu Huang and Yuan Shu for help at the same time. Xu Huang has promised to send troops, but Yuan Shu has not agreed for the time being. Xu Shu continued.

"Yuan Shu has been peeping at Xuzhou for a long time, and he will not miss this opportunity." Guo Jia said: "He didn't promise Lu Bu now, but he didn't find the best time." ”

Lu Bu's situation in Yanzhou is already different from what Zhao Hui remembers.

Zhao Hui is also not sure whether Cao Cao and Liu Bei joining forces this time will be the time when Lu Bu will die.

Originally, Liu Bei first took refuge in Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao began to attack Lu Bu.

But now, it has become Cao Cao and Liu Bei joining forces.

Originally, if the three parties wanted to be stable, they must be two relatively weak ones joining forces, and they would resist the strongest together.

But because of Cao Cao's huge defeat in Yanzhou, and he didn't get cheap to go to Qingzhou.

Today's Cao Cao, in terms of strength, cannot suppress Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Bei dared to borrow troops from Cao Cao, dared to join forces with Cao Cao, and let Cao Cao's soldiers and horses enter Xuzhou.

Because Liu Bei was not afraid that after getting rid of Lu Bu, Cao Cao would attack him in turn.

Even if Cao Cao really wanted to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei was confident that he could block Cao Cao's attack.

In terms of strength, Liu Bei will not be weaker than Cao Cao now.

So he didn't need Lu Bu's help to resist Cao Cao.

Instead, he chose to get rid of Lu Bu, an unstable factor, first, so that he could fully take over all the forces in Xuzhou.

But although Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces, their strength far surpassed that of Lu Bu, but Lu Bu was not a soft persimmon.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei wanted to eliminate Lu Bu, but they also had to pay a lot of money and ran into a nail.

And with Xu Huang's support, even if he loses to Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Lu Bu can hold out longer.

Yuan Shu didn't want to intervene too early, so why did he want the two Cao Cao and Lu Bu to consume each other.

That's when he came to clean up the mess.

Not only can you ensure that your strength is not damaged, but you can also get the maximum benefits.

It can be said that among the princes today, Yuan Shu's ambition is the greatest.

Whether it is Zhao Hui or Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, at least they have no intention of becoming emperors at present.

And the brothers of the Yuan family, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, have already had the idea of becoming kings in their hearts.

At the beginning, Sun Jian got the jade seal of the country, and it was also Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers who were the most popular.

In order to get the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shao united with Liu Biao to kill Sun Jian.

And Yuan Shu also deliberately reduced his help to Sun Jian at that time.

After Sun Jian's death, it was not until Sun Ce dedicated the jade seal of the country to Yuan Shu that the Sun family rose again with the help of Yuan Shu.

Without Yuan Shu's support, even if Sun Ce was a young hero, it would be impossible to lay down the vast land of Yangzhou in just two years.

Now that Yuan Shao has been captured, Yuan Shu's desire to be the emperor has become even stronger.

There are advantages and disadvantages to being called emperor.

Before the title of emperor, it is difficult to say whether Yuan Shu's decision was right or wrong.

Because it is possible that after Yuan Shu becomes emperor, his power will expand again, and many people who do not have much ambition will be willing to surrender to Yuan Shu.

After all, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and the positions of his subordinates will definitely be greatly improved.

Yuan Shu is now Nanyang Taishou, a later general.

Naturally, the positions of his subordinates could not surpass him.

Like Ji Ling and others, most of them are just a Zhonglang general.

But if Yuan Shu is called the emperor, can Ji Ling and the others be promoted to the rank of rear general and former general?

Other strategists, such as Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others, can they be ranked among the three dukes?

Can other Taishou who surrendered also be made a liege?

But it also depends on how much other people recognize Yuan Shu, the emperor.

If Yuan Shu still maintains his current power after becoming emperor, and is still steadily expanding, then there will definitely be more and more people who will join him.

But if Yuan Shu became the emperor, not only did he fail to expand, but his power was still shrinking, then he, the emperor, could only become the laughing stock of others and a stepping stone for others to become famous and meritorious.

Yuan Shu is now called the emperor, and he will definitely become the target of the public, and will be targeted by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others.

Calling the emperor is a double-edged sword, and it is very likely that he will die by devouring himself.

Even Yuan Shao, although he had this thought, he never dared to act.

And Yuan Shu has now begun to lay out for himself as the emperor.

The destiny of heaven is the premise of Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor.

He must be made to feel that he is the Son of Heaven to whom he is destined.

He can't control the thoughts of the family, but he can still use the popular hearts of ordinary people, which is conducive to him to stabilize his power.

If even ordinary people stand up against it when he is emperor, that is the biggest joke.

Now in Nanyang, in Yangzhou, that proverb has already spread.

Those who represent the Han should be Tu Gao!

said that this proverb was fulfilled in Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu started in Nanyang, but now he has shifted his focus to Shouchun.

Facing Lu Bu's envoy Song Xian, Yuan Shu did not say anything to death, but only said that his soldiers and horses are now dealing with Liu Biao in the south, and I am afraid that he will not be able to support Lu Bu in time.

But he will immediately dispatch a team of soldiers and horses to Xuzhou in the fastest time.

If he can take Xuzhou and subdue Lu Bu, Yuan Shu will dare to claim the emperor directly.

This opportunity, he naturally will not give up.

Although there are many generals under Yuan Shu's account, and the skills of these generals are also good, they are far from being comparable to top generals such as Guan Yu Dianwei.

It can't be compared with a god of war like Lu Bu.

At the beginning, Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an and stayed on Yuan Shu's territory for a period of time.

At that time, Yuan Shu also wanted to subdue Lu Bu, but unfortunately at that time, Lu Bu only opened his mouth to ask for money and food, and he also recruited troops on Yuan Shu's territory.

There is no mention of surrender.

Yuan Shu naturally couldn't tolerate Lu Bu, gave him some soldiers and horses, and sent Lu Bu away.

Everyone knows that Lu Bu is very difficult to submit.

Because Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo both died at the hands of Lu Bu, this made those who wanted to subdue Lu Bu retreat in their hearts.

But that's different now.

Yuan Shu's strength is even stronger than a few years ago.

And he is already ready to be emperor.

In Yuan Shu's mind, he only had to promise Lu Bu that after becoming emperor, he promised to make Lu Bu a general.

Yuan Shu didn't believe that Lu Bu would refuse him.

However, he still had to wait a little longer, wait until Lu Bu couldn't hold on, and when Lu Bu was in danger, he would go to support Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu thought about it, and only by helping Lu Bu when Lu Bu was in the most difficult time might he be able to make Lu Bu grateful.
