At this point, Sun Jian placed most of Yuan's soldiers in the counties of Yuzhang, which were farthest away from Huainan, and at the same time transferred many hundred people in Yuan's soldiers from his troops, and Sun Jian secretly befriended the generals of Yuan's army, and gave them gold silks, treasures, and countless beauties, so as to stabilize Yuan's army.

At this time, Yuan Shu didn't know that his 50,000 soldiers and horses had gradually become Sun Jian's soldiers and horses. He was only focused on the matter of being the emperor, and only believed in Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, and gradually became estranged from his old ministers. Sometimes some advisers admonished and impeached Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, but they were all reprimanded by Yuan Shu. Over time, no adviser dared to say that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were not.

And half a month ago, in Huaiyin City.

At this time, Ji Ling's soldiers and horses had just withdrawn from Huaiyin. One day, in the Huaiyin County Governance Palace. Chen Deng's face was calm, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yuanlong, why are you worried about this?"

Liu Bei's eyes were vicious, and when he saw Chen Deng's expression, he knew that he was thinking about something, and he asked immediately.

Chen Deng stared and stood up and bowed before speaking.

"If, as the prince said, then Zhou Gongjin has such superhuman resourcefulness, I don't think he will be at a loss for Huaiyin City. And I heard that the reason why the prince was able to escape was because of the grandson Bo Fu. Deng believes that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce deliberately instigated Ji Ling to withdraw his troops. They didn't want to help Yuan Shu capture Xuzhou at all. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but look stunned, and hurriedly said.

"Could it be that Yuanlong thinks that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are deliberately lurking beside Yuan Shu? So what are they trying to do?! ”

"You said, that Sun Bofu once gave you a secret letter. Have you seen it? ”

"Ahh During these days, Huaiyin was attacked by a strong enemy, and I was only focused on resisting the enemy, if it wasn't for Yuanlong's reminder, I almost forgot. ”

Liu Bei was reminded by Chen Deng, so he remembered the secret letter, and hurriedly asked people to go to his mansion to get the secret letter. After a while, the secret letter was picked up by the soldiers, and after Liu Bei took the letter, he hurriedly opened it.

During Liu Bei's reading of the letter, his face kept changing, first his brows were furrowed, then his face sank, and then he was surprised again and again, and finally after reading it, he groaned again and put down the letter.

"Arrogant and rebellious thief, Yuan Highway actually has the heart to be the emperor!"

Suddenly, Liu Bei shouted angrily, Chen Deng, Pan Feng, and Zhang Fei were all shocked, all shocked by this shocking news.

"If Yuan Highway is the emperor, he will be besieged by the princes of the world! He's bringing about his own destruction! However, although Yuan Highway is arrogant and has no one in his eyes, he is not necessarily so stupid. Could it be that he was instigated by Zhou Gongjin and Sun Bofu!? These two people are really vicious! ”

Chen Deng is so wise, he can see a lot at the moment. At the same time, he also had a trace of fear and jealousy towards Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

"Still, though. Yuan Shu is not necessarily, he will risk the disapproval of the world and insist on being the emperor. Unless he is absolutely sure. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce actually instigated Yuan Shu to become emperor, so Yuan Shu must have thought that Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, would support him. But there is only Sun Jian alone, I'm afraid it's still not enough. Could it be that, Prince, that Sun Bofu advises you to surrender to Yuan Shu in this letter and support him as emperor!? ”

After Chen Deng thought for a while, he made another astonishing remark. Liu Bei's eyelids were jumping again and again, Chen Deng's resourcefulness was really terrifying, and after a little analysis, he saw things very thoroughly.

"Just as Yuan Long expected. That Uncle Sun persuaded me to lead Xuzhou Wenwu to surrender to Yuan Highway together! ”

Chen Deng's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his eyes burst into a series of fine lights, and he asked urgently.

"I don't know what the prince wants? If the prince is willing to support Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will get half of the land of Xuzhou, and there will be a number of talented generals under the command of the prince and the marquis. Yuan Shu's ambitions will inevitably skyrocket, and he will soon be the emperor in Huainan! And once he becomes emperor, it will be the time of this person's destruction! ”

Although Chen Deng was asking Liu Bei what he meant, his tone seemed to persuade Liu Bei to accept the matter. Liu Bei was silent for a while, his mind was spinning, and he was quickly analyzing the pros and cons. Yuan Shuhu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and in the north, there is not only Cao Cao, who is in the middle of the day, but also Yuan Shao, the northern giant who sits on the land of Sanzhou. There is no room for Liu Bei to intervene in the north, and if he wants to expand his power, he can only do so in the south of the world. And if Yuan Shu, the Jiangnan tiger, dies, then he can take advantage of the situation to seize his territory and expand his territory.

Liu Bei suddenly grasped the secret letter with one hand, his eyes were deep, and he shouted.

"Come on, bring the white paper and the state seal!"

As soon as Liu Bei said this, although he did not say it, Chen Deng knew Liu Bei's choice. Chen Deng's face was a little more anxious, and at the same time, he was secretly sighing in his heart.

"Liu Xuande can listen to people's words and trust me. It's just that this person's foundation is too shallow, and if he is just erect, he may fall under his command. But there are great clans behind me, and I must not take them with me. ”

Perhaps for a wealthy talent like Chen Deng, the interests of the family will always come first. And Chen Deng is not like Xi Long, he comes from a poor family, and he can choose the master he is willing to assist.

Liu Bei decided to support Yuan Shu as emperor, repaired a book, and sent someone to Huainan Shouchun.

At this time, in Shouchun City, Sun Ce's mansion.

Sun Ce had a bit of urgency on his face, pacing back and forth. Zhou Yu on the side was not in a hurry, with a smile on his face, playing the piano. The wonderful sound suddenly shook up, penetrating people's hearts, Sun Ce couldn't help but stop, and the urgency on his face slowly faded with the playing of the piano sound.

After curling, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, it's been almost a month. Why is Liu Xuande still not moving? ”

"Huh. Bo Fu is a little restless. If this matter is successful, it will be of great benefit to Liu Xuande. He will certainly act according to our plan. ”

"Hey! Gongjin, you are simple. I heard that Liu Xuande always puts benevolence and righteousness first, and this matter is detrimental to his reputation, I am afraid that he is a pedantic person who does not know how to open his mind! ”

"Huh. Bo Fu, you underestimate Liu Xuande too much. This person is just pretending to be benevolent and righteous, but in fact he has a hidden ambition to swallow the sky. ”

"Oh, Gongjin, where did you get this affirmation?"

"Eyes. Liu Xuande's eyes were filled with endless desire. This desire is so similar to that Yuan Highway. It's just that Liu Xuande is hiding deeper. ”

Zhou Yu has always come to see people very accurately, and after Sun Ce heard it, he fell silent.

After a while, a guard from the palace suddenly came to report, saying that Yuan Shu had something urgent to discuss with him, and asked him to hurry up.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth turned up, and he bowed slightly to Sun Ce. Sun Ce's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly rushed to the Shouchun Hall with Zhou Yu.

After half a pillar of incense, there is a pavilion in the Shouchun hall. When Yuan Shu saw Sun Ce and Zhou Yu coming, his face was first happy, and then he calmly retreated all the guards. Soon in the pavilion, only Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu remained.

"Hahahaha. Great joy, great joy. Bo Fu and Gong Jin knew that just now Liu Bei sent an envoy to send a secret letter, saying that he was willing to lead a group of civil and military forces in Xuzhou to surrender to me. ”

Zhou Yu had expected it, but he still pretended to be extremely excited on his face, and bowed.

"The lord's prestige is shocking, then Liu Xuande must know that he is invincible to the lord, so in order to protect himself, he is willing to surrender. Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, to get Xuzhou civil and military, half of Xuzhou's land. ”

"Hahaha! If it weren't for the battle of Xuyi by Gong Jin and Bo Fu, who flooded Liu Xuande's 30,000 elite soldiers and raised the prestige of our army, then Liu Xuande would not have surrendered easily. This time, you and others have made great contributions, and I deserve to be rewarded for your meritorious deeds! ”

Yuan Shu was so happy that his eyes laughed, under the courage of Sun Jianjun, Yangzhou was in chaos, and at this time, with half of Xuzhou, his territory was almost all over the south of the world.

"We will serve under the command of the lord, give advice to the lord, and charge into battle as a matter of course. Lord, at the moment, Liu Xuande surrendered to sincerity, it is the best time for the lord to be the emperor. The matter of becoming the emperor has been shelved for a long time, and I hope that the lord will not delay any longer, which will cool the hearts of our courtiers. ”

Yuan Shu's eyes violently violent, in fact, in Liu Bei's letter, there was also a mention of supporting him as emperor, but Yuan Shu did not say it. A few days ago, Yuan Shu received a secret letter from Sun Jian again, mentioning the matter of becoming the emperor.

The letter even said that the surname Yuan came from Chen. Chen Nai Dashun after that. The Han is fire, and the Chen is earth. Bearing fire with earth is exactly what it should do.

At the same time, in the area south of the Yangtze River, there are folk rumors, and those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao. The word Yuan Shu is a highway, which is in response to its prophecy.

All kinds of omens seem to indicate that Yuan Shu inherits the great fortune of the sky and should be the emperor. Yuan Shu's heart was beating nonstop, his blood was gushing, and he finally made up his mind, slapped the handrail, and stood up and shouted.

"Liu Xuzhou, Sun Changsha all support me as the emperor, although I Yuan Highway is a Han minister, but now the world is in chaos, the Han family is mediocre, the people are tormented by the war, day by day in the water and fire. I really can't bear it, and now I inherit what the heavens refer to, and I stand as the emperor of the Ninety-Five! ”

Yuan Shu finally showed his intention to establish an emperor, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were overjoyed, and at the same time knelt down one after another to worship Yuan Shu as the emperor. Yuan Shu watched the two of them kneel down with the emperor's salute, their blood boiling, and they laughed happily.

The next day, Yuan Shu summoned a group of civil and military officers in front of the main hall, waved his big hand, and called the sun with a majestic posture of looking at the world.

"The ancestors of the former Han Dynasty were only a pavilion chief in Si, and there was the world, and the dynasty was built as the Han Dynasty. In the past four hundred years, the Han Dynasty has been born with demons and evils, causing chaos in the world, and the emperor is mediocre and unable to save the people. I watched the Han room exhausted, and the sea was boiling. I am a lineage of the Yuan family, the fourth world and the third duke, and now the people of Jiangnan are the people of Jiangnan, I want to effect the will of heaven, conform to the hearts of the people, and be in the ninth five-year. Why do you think so? ”

As soon as Yuan Shu's voice fell, the hall suddenly became like boiling water. The civil and military forces changed color one after another, and the main book was like a pavilion, and hurriedly walked out and gave up.

"No! Never! In the past, after the Zhou Dynasty, Ji accumulated virtues and merits, and as for King Wen, there are two out of three parts of the world, and he still serves Yin. Although the family background of the Ming Dynasty is expensive, there is no prosperity of Zhou, although the Han family is small, it is not as violent as Yin. This is by no means feasible. Otherwise, we will be destroyed! Yuan Shu was stunned and shouted angrily.

"My surname Yuan is from Chen. Chen Nai Dashun after that. Bearing fire with earth is exactly what it should do. There are also folk rumors, those who represent the Han Dynasty, should be Tu Gao. My word is the highway, which is exactly what it says. There is also a jade seal of the country. If you are not a king, you are really going against the sky! I have made up my mind, and those who speak too much will be killed! Yuan Shu roared in the hall, and his words were like arrows, inserted in the hearts of various civil and military forces. Yuan Shu insisted on being the emperor, and he said that those who persuaded him would be killed, so no one dared to stop him. Yuan Shu then built the name Zhong, Litai Province and other officials, took the dragon and phoenix, worshiped the northern and southern suburbs, established Feng Fangnu as the queen, and established the son as the East Palace.

Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor soon spread all over the world. During this period, Cao Cao had been secretly observing the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, but he did not expect that the development of events would be like this. Then, Cao Cao received a secret letter from Sun Jian, Sun Jian advised Cao Cao to march south, he was willing to respond to the back, and the two armies would help each other to get rid of the thieves. Soon after, Liu Bei's secret letter arrived, also to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to the south, and the Xuzhou army was willing to respond.

After Cao Cao read the two letters, he fell into a thought, although Yuan Shu was arrogant, he was not arrogant enough to rashly claim the emperor when the power had not become the foundation of the heavens. There must be a master manipulation in this.

Although Cao Cao didn't know who the master was, he was a little curious and appreciative of him.

"Huh. I don't know if this master is under the command of Liu Xuande or Sun Wentai? Such a peerless talent is really exciting. ”

Cao Cao smiled faintly, and unconsciously, Guo Jia and Jia Xu followed Cao Cao's call and just walked into the main hall. The two suddenly saw Cao Cao laughing, and looked at each other unconsciously.

"Feng Xiao, Wen and you are here. Come here, here are two letters. You wait until you see it first, and then analyze it with me. ”

Cao Cao smiled and beckoned to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu stared, whenever Cao Cao made such a smile, something big would happen. The two walked into Cao Cao and took a letter one after another. During the reading of the letters, the faces of the two changed a lot, and then the two exchanged letters, and at the same time, the contents of the two letters were almost the same, but the people who sent the letters were different.

After the two read the two letters, Jia Xu first smiled at Guo Jia, as if asking Guo Jia to speak first. Guo Jia bowed slightly, and bowed to Cao Cao.
