In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, just after the Spring Festival, the war in the world was temporarily suspended, and it seemed to be much more peaceful. And when the whole world was in a jubilant atmosphere, an earth-shaking event happened in Huainan - Yuan Shu, who was called the emperor.

However, he said that Yuan Shu had obtained Sun Ce's jade seal, thought it was the mandate of heaven, thought that the Han Dynasty had exhausted its strength, and that the self-reliance of the Han Dynasty was the desire of the people. Bearing fire with earth is exactly what it should do. He also said: 'Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye.' 'My word highway is in response to its prophecy. There is also a jade seal of the country. If you are not a king, you will go against the heavens. My will has been decided, and those who speak too much will be killed! Then he built the Zhong clan, established Taiwan Province and other officials, took the dragon and phoenix, worshiped the northern and southern suburbs, proclaimed himself emperor, and fought against the Han court.

As soon as this news came out, the world shook, and the little emperor Liu Xie was even more speechless in surprise, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

When Zhao Xu got the news, he was also taken aback, he never expected that although he knew that Yuan Shu, this kid, would make trouble sooner or later, he didn't expect to be the emperor so early, I remember that it was in 197 in history, why was it a few years earlier? Isn't it because of my appearance that history has moved forward? Alas! That's it! The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, Yuan Shao's house has been wiped out by our family, and I am afraid that Yuan Shu will do much, but Lao Tzu does not want to waste time on Yuan Shu, a person who will die sooner or later; Forget it, no matter, there is always someone to deal with him, let's recharge and deal with Cao Cao first!

Just when Zhao Xu and the others were shocked and thinking about countermeasures, they heard the news of the urgent court, Zhao Xu smiled slightly, and knew that Liu Xie, this kid, would definitely not be able to sit still.

"See Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Uncle Huang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After a while, all the ministers in Luoyang gathered in the palace hall to meet the Son of Heaven and Liu Bei. Seeing Liu Xie's panicked face, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at it, such a little thing, such a fuss, no wonder it would be controlled by Cao Cao.

"Okay, all of you Aiqing have arrived. I just received an urgent report from Yangzhou, Yuan Shu, unexpectedly called the emperor, and fought against my Han court, do you Aiqing have a good plan? Liu Xie said lightly, but secretly wiped a handful of sweat.

In addition to Zhao Xu and other Liu Bei sent people to get the news early, about half of the ministers did not know that Yuan Shu was the emperor.

"What? Claim the emperor! ”

"Bold! Yuan Shu Pifu An dared to be so rude! ”

"Yuan Highway is really crazy! is so rude, his subordinates implore His Majesty to order a large army to crusade against him! ”

Hearing the news, the entire court was shocked, and all the ministers changed color, and for a while, everyone had different opinions.

But Liu Bei's side, Zhao Xu and the others did not speak, they had already learned the news, they knew it in their hearts, and they were not very panicked.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Be quiet. Wang Yun shouted, Yang Biao is nearly eighty years old, suffering from illness, and abdicated last year, so now only Wang Yun is the prime minister in the court. The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and as soon as Wang Yun speaks, everyone quiets down. Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Yun turned his head to Liu Xie and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, this time Yuan Shu vainly claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and the mercenaries rebelled, which is the anger of people and gods. It is better to issue a crusade order to the world in the name of the imperial court, and order the princes of the world to crusade against it, without the help of the imperial court, it can be destroyed by itself, and the dynasty is correct. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to raise 200,000 troops from the Western Liang Army to fight against it, so as to correct the dynasty." Ma Teng said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, if there are only a handful of princes today, although the Xiliang army of Shoucheng's brother is strong, it is thousands of miles away from Yuan Shu, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip; Cao Cao in the Central Plains is getting stronger and stronger, and he has ill intentions and may not be willing to attack Yuan Shu; Yangzhou Sun Ce, will inevitably attack, but one of them, may not be able to defeat Yuan Shu, the second brother of the minister Yun Chang sits in Xuzhou, bordering Yuan Shu, will inevitably start a war, the minister is also willing to return to Qingzhou to raise troops to help, and then unite with Sun Ce, jointly crusade against Yuan Shu, can be destroyed. Liu Bei got up and said.

"Emperor, sit down, sit down! What Uncle Huang said is very reasonable, Ma Aiqing is loyal, although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is strong, it is difficult to hurt Yuan Shu, Cao Cao blatantly attacked the imperial prince Liu Biao, his heart is considerable, and he may not listen to the orders of the imperial court; Uncle Huang said yes, and he followed Uncle Huang's words. ”

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate." Zhao Xu walked out and said: "Although Cao Cao has bad intentions, it is impossible for him to sit back and watch Yuan Shu become bigger, with Cao Cao and Sun Ce here, there is no need to make a big move to quell the rebellion of the imperial court." The soldiers and horses of the Qinghai, Hebei, You, and four states have just passed through the war, and they should rest and recuperate; It was enough to pacify Yuan Shu and send Yun Chang to lead the Xuzhou soldiers to the expedition. I look at Yuan Shu and his people have no ink on their chests, rashly proclaimed the emperor, and their demise is not far away! Now it is Cao Cao who should be dealt with, and the emperor can go back to Qingzhou first, count all the grain and soldiers in the land of the five states, and then recuperate first. ”

Yuan Shu's behavior really caused a shock in the world, and when the princes knew that he had the heirloom jade seal obtained from Sun Ce's hand, they also knew that he must have an intention in his heart, but no one thought that Yuan Shu would be so stupid that he would dare to do such a stupid act surrounded by powerful enemies. I have to say that IQ is really hard, in today's world, if the princes can be subjugated by relying on the jade seal of the country alone, there will be no Dong Zhuo's rebellion.

Even Yuan Shao is here, and he must not dare to be arrogant, this Yuan Shu is too overestimating himself, thinking that he is the third prince of the fourth world, the world is chaotic, and it is a good thing to call the emperor. What a pity! Yuan Shu lives in Huainan, although there are many soldiers and enough food, but he has a lot of feathers in the north, Cao Cao in the west, and Sun Ce in the south.

"What Aiqing said, although it is reasonable, but if Cao Cao and Yuan Shu unite, how should they deal with it?" Liu Xie asked worriedly.

"Your Majesty rest assured, you can first give Cao Cao a holy decree in the name of the imperial court to deter him, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and must think that the imperial court has suspected him, even if he does not send troops to attack Yuan Shu, he will not dare to act rashly; What's more, Cao Cao is resourceful, if he does not send troops, it will become a crime of resisting the decree, and after pacifying Yuan, it is not too late to find a way to deal with Cao Cao. Moreover, now there are not only Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, but also Han Sui in Yongzhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, these two may not be loyal, but you can ask Master Ma to use the Xiliang Army to deter the two, so that they dare not move lightly, and then they can calm Yuan Shu with peace of mind. Zhao Xu said confidently.

Liu Xie pondered for a while and said, "Well, what Aiqing said is true, in this way, you can kill two birds with one stone." Uncle Huang, Ma Aiqing, what do you think? ”

"The minister also thinks that what General Zhao said is true, but according to His Majesty's orders." The two of them walked together.

"That being the case, then according to what Zhao Aiqing said, spread my will: Huainan Yuan Shu was bold and reckless, supported the army and stood on his own, and ordered Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, Guan Yu, and the assassin of Yangzhou Sun Ce to raise troops to fight against it, and pass it on to the world, so as to deter the princes and correct the dynasty."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Alright! Everyone, go ahead and get your business done! That's it, retreat from the dynasty. Liu Xie's heart finally settled down a lot, stabilized his mood, and issued an "eviction order".

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

After the plan was discussed, even if in the name of the imperial court issued a crusade against the princes in various places, Cao Cao and Sun Ce were even more decreed, as long as Yuan Shu was pacified, he would be promoted and rewarded. In addition to Zhao Xu, Liu Bei's subordinates also returned to Qingzhou and various territories, mobilized the people to scold Yuan Shu, and shook the hearts of the people. Ma Teng also ordered Ma Chao to go back to the Xiliang Army to respond to the situation, symbolically mobilize it, in order to deter Han Sui and others, and stay in Luoyang with Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.

Liu Bei, as the king of Zhongxing and the uncle of the Han Emperor, had a relatively negative attitude, but this did not affect the other princes. Cao Cao, who had just pacified Jingzhou, suspected that the imperial court had already thought about him as soon as he borrowed the holy decree, and what did Guo Jia and others say that Cao Cao still couldn't sleep that night, and the next day he responded to the surrender order, ordered 120,000 troops, and prepared to crusade against Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce in Yangzhou was even more excited, before Sun Ce and Jiaozhou Shixie had a bad relationship, attacking each other, when Sun Ce raised troops to attack Shixie, Yuan Shu took the name of his father-in-law to defend the city for Sun Ce, sneak attacked Sun Ce's rear, and captured more than ten cities, but Sun Ce and Shixie were fighting at the moment of communication, and did not dare to be distracted, so he had to let Yuan Shuhu come. At this time, as soon as he received the holy decree, the first to actively respond to the crusade order, Jiaozhou had been decided, there was no worries, he personally led all the generals, and he had the elite, and raised an army of 100,000 to launch a comprehensive attack on Yuan Shu.

Guan Yu in Xuzhou, there was no moment of hesitation, as soon as he received the news, even if he led the subordinate generals and generals, including Gan Ning, who had just come to vote, raised 80,000 soldiers from Xuzhou, and brought the old general Wen Ping and others from Jingzhou to cross the river to attack Yuan Shu. Although the old general of Jingzhou was unwilling and wanted to attack Cao Cao first to take revenge, he had to obey the order of the holy decree......

Because Zhao Xue and Zhen Mi were about to give birth, it was inconvenient to travel far away, so Zhao Xu also stayed in Luoyang to take care of them, and when he got these news, he couldn't help but be surprised, he remembered that after Yuan Shu was called emperor in history, it seemed that he was still dying and struggling for two years before he was completely eliminated. And now looking at the formation of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, I feel that Yuan Shu will not last long at all. Although Yuan Shu Huainan has sufficient grain and grass, with more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, it is only a few counties, has no strategic depth, fights against the water, and lacks excellent generals, how can it withstand the siege of Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Guan Yu? In history, Cao Cao pacified the north, with thousands of generals, with a million armor, accounting for two of the three parts of the world, a generation of heroes; Guan Yu sat in Jingzhou, the northern expedition to Cao Cao, flooded the Seventh Army, forced Cao Cao to almost move the capital, and the mighty Guan Sheng; Sun Ce defeated Liu Biao and lived in Jiangnan for a short time, beating Liu Biao so much that he couldn't raise his head, and he was the little overlord of Jiangdong. Just pick one of these three people at random, Yuan Shu is definitely not an opponent.

Yuan Shu! Yuan Shu! Fate really doesn't go your way! In the face of such an opponent, even Zhao Xu didn't dare to say that he would win, just like if he didn't come, Yuan Shu's fight would be finished sooner or later. Zhao Xu secretly laughed and scolded in his heart. If this continues, Liu Xie, the little emperor, will not die, and Liu Bei will not want to be the emperor. Damn, it seems that the emperor is not so easy to be a man! The unification of the world is still a long time!
