Cao Xing had made a military order before, if he couldn't break the enemy, he was willing to die, but he and Cao Cao had already agreed on the conditions, as long as Cao Xing had any requirements, he could just mention it. Now that Cao Xuan has defeated all the armies of Yan Liangwen and Chou, it is time for him Cao Xuan to fulfill his promise.

Yan Liangwen Chou was defeated, watching Cao Xing's army rush into the military tent established by Yan Liangwen Chou like the wind, Cao Cao didn't understand it at first, but suddenly patted his head, he seemed to expect something incredible.

"Oops!" Cao Cao was suddenly startled, turned around and shouted loudly backwards: "Xu Chu, Xu Chu!" ”

However, Cao Cao's voice did not receive any response, and Cao Cao was about to get angry. The strategist next to him, Xi Zhicai, came out and sighed helplessly: "Lord, have you forgotten your previous agreement with Cao Xing!" ”

As soon as Xi Zhicai said this, Cao Cao suddenly reacted, he asked Cao Xing what he wanted, Cao Xing directly said that he wanted a distance of five miles, Cao Cao didn't understand what it meant at first, and he only understood after Cao Xing's explanation.

Cao Xing said that he wanted to perform a wonderful battle for everyone, but there was a requirement that there should not be too many people present, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian needed to retreat their main forces back five miles.

Cao Cao heard this request for knowledge at the beginning, and he was a little puzzled about what he Cao Xuan wanted to do, so that the major princes would transfer their soldiers away from their side, which was also a big taboo in the hearts of the princes, it was not that Cao Xuan wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's time when there was no one around him, Cao Cao wanted to kill Cao Cao, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not the case.

Now is the time to fight the thief together, what courage does he Cao Xuan have to dare to do such a powerful and irreversible thing, so Cao Cao pondered for a moment and agreed to Cao Xing's request, but now he realized that this Cao Xing's true intention.

The current Cao Xing naturally will not take the soldiers to kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei, if they are killed, it is he Cao Xing who is condemned in righteousness, and the happiest person should be Yuan Shu and others, after all, Cao Xing cut off a strong enemy for them.

Cao Xing's target is only Yuan Shu in Yan Liangwen's ugly army, and now Cao Xuan has rushed to Yan Liangwen's ugly military camp, ready to put Yuan Shu out, Yuan Shu's hands can have the jade seal of the country, which means that catching Yuan Shu is equivalent to catching the jade seal of the country, Cao Cao wants to send someone to run in quickly, and Cao Xuan must not be allowed to find Yuan Shu first, but is it possible? Because they don't have a big army around them.

Seeing Cao Xing rushing into the barracks in such a grand manner, Cao Cao stood on the city tower and sighed helplessly, pounded the city wall heavily, and sighed: "It's really a pity, I took everything cheap for him to pick up!" ”

However, Liu Bei next to him also sighed helplessly, expressing great regret, and even a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, when Cao Xing made this request before, he didn't think much about it, and directly retreated Guan Yu and his army to be invincible, and now there is only one Zhang Fei and thousands of personal soldiers by his side, even if Zhang Fei rushes in, with more than a thousand people, can he win other people's Tiefu Tu?

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "The jade seal is going to fall into his hands again, and the Han Dynasty is ......."

Among the three of them, only Sun Jian smiled in the end: "Although this Cao Xing has a lot of ghost ideas in his heart, but then again, his iron army can defeat Yan Liangwen and Chou with a devastating momentum, this is the most important thing, if he can't defeat it, what's the point of us retreating five miles, so this is also earned by other people's skills!" ”

What Sun Jian said was the truth, and in the end Cao Cao and Liu Bei had to admit it, and then the three of them also recalled their own army, and it didn't take long for Cao Xing to take someone to bring Yuan Shu out of Yan Liangwen's ugly military camp. Let Cao Xuan let him go, after all, this jade seal was sold to Yuan Shu by him Cao Xuan before, if Cao Xuan likes to take it now, he just begs to spare his Yuan Shu's life.

However, for Yuan Shu's begging for mercy, Cao Xuan could only smile, he was also powerless, what happened to Yuan Shu, Cao Xuan felt that he couldn't make a decision alone.

In the end, Cao Cao, Cao Xing, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and the princes of the four roads discussed together, and first returned to Shouchun City, which has become orderly again in the governance of this half month, and Cao Cao issued a letter to the world, directly mentioning Yuan Shu to the entrance of the vegetable market, and hanging his head on the high wall, so that everyone in the world can see it.

The people saw that Yuan Shu had been punished as he deserved, and they all applauded and applauded, after all, when Yuan Shu was in power, he only knew how to loot the people's fat and ointment, and did not contribute at all, what qualifications did such a person have to become their emperor?

This unjustifiable emperor, sitting on the throne, has been in a different place in less than a year, which also reminds the princes of the world that the so-called puppet is not guilty, and he is guilty, the title of emperor is the name of the supreme ruler of feudal society, if there is no absolute strength, don't sit on it.

After solving Yuan Shu, there are still Cao Cao and their four major princes in Shouchun City, and this matter should have ended here, but according to the general law, after the end of the external enemy, the internal struggle began, and Cao Cao and others were no exception, and the direction of their internal fighting was very simple, that is, the heirloom jade seal in Cao Xing's hand.

First of all, Liu Bei launched an attack, and he said to Cao Xing that the jade seal of the country was a symbol of the Son of Heaven, a symbol of imperial power. Cao Xuan should hand it over, but Cao Xuan sneered and said to Liu Bei, after handing it over, who should he give Cao Xuan to Liu Bei? I'm afraid Liu Bei doesn't have this qualification yet.

Cao Xuan replied mercilessly, and directly scolded Liu Bei so red-faced, and it was even said that Liu Bei cried directly after going back, and then Zhang Fei came directly to Cao Xuan with a knife, saying that Cao Xuan didn't know his eldest brother's kindness.

When Cao Xuan heard these words, the whole person was a little speechless, this Liu Bei's ability to fool people is quite strong, perhaps in Liu Bei's heart, Cao Xuan handed over the jade seal of the country to him, let him be the most orthodox emperor, after all, he is also surnamed Liu, and has always lived as a member of the Han clan.

However, this matter will not have much effect, although now Cao Xing is in Yuzhou, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses such as the tiger soldiers under the iron floating slaughterhouse, but Cao Xing has these two iron armies enough, so Cao Xing is still not afraid, and told Cao Cao and others with burning eyes, if Cao Cao and others are really capable, come over and rob it, he Cao Xing is leaving.

After leaving these words, Cao Xuan didn't care about the attitude of Cao Cao and the others at all, and directly waved his hand and took Che Wu and others to move back to the court, Cao Cao and the others watched from behind, although Liu Bei wanted to pursue, but he was afraid of the two strong armies in Cao Xing's hands.

Sun Jian smiled, now he is a prince, and he doesn't care so much about the jade seal of the country, so he doesn't say much, and directly takes Sun Ce and others back to his Jiangdong, as for Cao Cao's attitude, it seems a little strange, at the beginning, Cao Cao also wanted to force Cao Xing to leave the jade seal of the country, and it couldn't fall into Cao Xing's hands anyway, but when his strategist Xi Zhicai went to Cao Cao's side and said something, Cao Cao suddenly realized that he was like an initiation, Ignore Cao Xing's departure directly.

In this way, Cao Xuan finally returned to Shangtang.

However, the death of Yuan Shu is still fermenting, and this person who dared to be the first to be the emperor in the troubled times, his fate has been vividly remembered by many princes. As the so-called gun shoots the first bird, if anyone jumps the hardest, it is very likely to be eliminated by others together, after all, it only took Cao Xing and them more than a year to destroy Yuan Shu.

But then again, although this fake emperor is dead, but as the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day, although the Han Dynasty has perished, but then again, it is impossible to let him perish like this forever, you always need to recommend a monarch to lead his own people, after all, in this land, the idea of the family and the world is still very strong.

In the middle of 195 AD, Yuan Shao, at the suggestion of the strategist Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, held a ceremony to worship the heavens, and announced a very important thing, that is, he Yuan Shao led Ji today. Youzhou and Qingzhou three places, conform to the people's will, immediately take the throne, and set the country name Zhao.

When the news came out, the world was shocked again, but I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be the king, and he also called him King Zhao.

The two titles of king and emperor seem to represent a kind of authority and a symbol, but after the continuous development of feudal society, there are some obvious classes, which have been divided, and being called king and emperor are completely two concepts.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, on the land of the Central Plains, there were hundreds of large and small vassal states, and the monarch of each vassal state was called Gong at the beginning. For example, Qin Xiaogong, Jin Wen Gong, Qi Huan Gong and so on.

However, with the continuous annexation of the major vassal states and the continuous expansion of the territories of those powerful vassal states, the title of a duke was no longer satisfied with the ambitions of those monarchs, so they set up the title of king. It is enough to command a country, and he is the supreme ruler of the country.

But to the area of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang swept the six countries roughly, and finally established the first feudal dynasty in Chinese history, Qin Shi Huang thought that himself, the three emperors of virtue, and the five emperors of Gonggai, so he should be called the emperor, and the title of emperor also came from this, so in the sequence of the ruling class, their order should be the name of the emperor is the largest, followed by the king, and then the prince.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the main thing is to continue to use the title of emperor, as for the title of king, but it is only an honorary title, and it does not have much effect, and most of the people who are divided are some royal disciples to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, that's all.

But now that the real Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty has died, the Han Dynasty seems to have reached the verge of extinction, because no one in the world has launched a person surnamed Liu to be the emperor, so Yuan Shao's advisor Fu Zhi Tian Feng and others suggested that Yuan Shao should give himself a real name on the grounds of the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, after all, everything must be done logically, and the teacher will be famous.

Yuan Shao was not as stupid as his younger brother Yuan Shu, he was anxious for quick success, and suddenly raised his name to the highest point, Yuan Shao at least retreated to the second, did not directly claim the emperor, but changed the title of king.

There is only one emperor in feudal society, he represents the sky, but there can be many princes and kings, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there are many princes and kings in various places, such as the king of Zhongshan and Jin, so when the title of King Zhao comes out, the people of the world are still acceptable.

Because there are not too many people who oppose it, it is natural for Yuan Shao to sit in this position, and their Zhao State was established, and from today on, he Yuan Shao can logically take care of all the military affairs of Zhao State.

Anyway, he Yuan Shao made such a start, and he succeeded, which will naturally cause people all over the world to follow suit. Many talented people realized that maybe those warlords and princes couldn't bear it anymore, and they were about to be crowned kings, but they were only the second person to announce the kingship to the world, which made everyone a little unexpected, it was Liu Yan who was far away in Yizhou.

Liu Yan seems to be a bit low-key, although when he was an official in Luoyang before, he also personally participated in the war to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but his achievements are not very dazzling.

Later, he proposed to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty the idea of abolishing Shi Limu, and then he chose Yizhou, a piece of land of abundance, moved in, and became the state pastor of Yizhou, integrating military power and political power in one hand, but since Liu Yan arrived in Yizhou, there was no sound at all, what Liu Yan did was to replace the bureaucrats in Yizhou, stabilize the situation in Yizhou, not to provoke other princes, nor to participate in the war between other princes, so he guarded the land in Yizhou. Motionless.

But now Liu Yan spoke again, what he said was actually similar to Yuan Shao, anyway, he was blowing a lot, saying that he governed the country in Yizhou, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and now he is willing to be the king of Shu and proclaimed himself the king of Shu. After all, that place in Yizhou can also be called Shu.

After Liu Yan followed the king, only two months later, another person jumped out and broke the name of his country, and everyone didn't expect that this person was actually Han Sui.

Han Sui has established his own Liangguo in the land of Liangzhou. This time, the people of the world were even more shocked, these two guys, who are usually silent and silent, did not expect to establish their own vassal states in the first place.

Although there are many people who have some confusion in their hearts, but when Cao Xuan heard these two news, he just smiled and did not speak, these two guys are now with Yuan Shao, this seems to be expected.
