After Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, his restless mind could not be hidden, and during the Han Dynasty, there has been such a proverb: "The Han Dynasty has six or seven misfortunes, and the law should be ordered again, who should be the descendant of the clan?" Six, seven, forty-two generations of Han, when Tu Gao also". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yuan Shu expressed the word highway, which is in response to this proverb, plus he now has the jade seal of the country, the territory spans Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou four states, and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so the emperor's mind is ready to move.

However, if he wants to be emperor, he must first be recognized by the generals under his command, and the generals are not enough, especially the strategists, these people in the forest are the representatives of the family, and if he wants to go further, he must be supported by these families.

Yuan Shu's subordinates are also full of talents, including Yang Hong, Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang, Li Feng and others, Wu Jiling, Zhang Xun, Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Le Zhi, Liang Gang, Liu Shen, Xun Zheng, Yuan Yin and others, it can be said that there are complete cultural relics and talents.

Of course, there is also Sun Ce, who now occupies the two counties of Lujiang and Yuzhang, and Sun Ce also belongs to Yuan Shu in name, so Yuan Shu is full of ambition and feels that he should go further.

Yuan Shu thought that the time had come, and convened his subordinates to discuss: "Now that the Liu family has declined, the sea is boiling, and the four generations of our Yuan family are all important ministers in the court, and the people are willing to belong to me." I want to uphold the will of heaven, conform to the will of the people, and ascend the throne as emperor now, I don't know what the kings will do? ”

When everyone listened, no one dared to say anything, only the chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang spoke: "Back then, the Zhou people accumulated virtue from their ancestor Houji to King Wen, and they could be said to have two points in the world, but they were still cautious as courtiers of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Although you have been a high-ranking official for many years, I am afraid that you are not as prosperous as the Ji family; At present, although the Han family is in decline, it seems that it cannot be compared with the brutal and unscrupulous King Yin! ”

Yuan Shu was silent when he heard Yan Xiang's words, but he was very angry in his heart.

Yuan Shu thought that everyone would support him as emperor, but Yan Xiang jumped out to oppose it, and the rest of the generals and strategists did not express their position directly, he knew that the time had not come, so he could only give up.

After everyone dispersed, Yang Hong stayed and said, "If the lord wants to be the emperor, he must take Jiujiang." ”

"How so?"

"The foundation of the lord is in Runan, if you want to be the emperor in Shouchun, it is necessary to defend the capital division with the land of three auxiliaries, now Lujiang is in the hands of Sun Ce, Jiujiang is in the hands of Zhou Qiao, if you can't recover the two counties, how can the lord defend the imperial city?"

When Yuan Shu heard it, he felt that Yang Hong's suggestion was very right, although he now occupied most of Xiapi and Huainan, but Jiujiang still had a Zhou Qiao, which was a problem for his henchmen, if he couldn't get rid of Zhou Qiao, he would be besieged sooner or later, so he had the idea of attacking Jiujiang.

The generals under Yuan Shu, now the general Ji Ling is in Nanyang, and Zhang Xun and Liu Xun are defending Xiapi, so Yuan Shu thinks about it, and uses Lei Shu and Chen Lan as the main general and deputy general respectively, and attacks Zhou Qiao with 50,000 soldiers.

At the same time, in order to prevent Danyang from guarding Zhou Xin's help, Yuan Shu gave Sun Ce another order to let Sun Ce attack Danyang.

Sun Ce was very happy when he received Yuan Shu's order, and said that when he was sleepy, someone would send a pillow, and he was originally angry that Zhou Xin sent troops to help Wang Lang, and now Yuan Shu attacked Jiujiang, and he just sent troops to attack Danyang.

Wu Jun Taishou is Wu Jing appointed by Yuan Shu, Wu Jing is Sun Ce's uncle, Sun Ce wrote a letter to ask Wu Jing and him to send troops to attack Danyang together, there was Yuan Shu's order in the front, and then there was a nephew Sun Ce asking for help, Wu Jing of course had no reason not to make a move, so he replied to Sun Ce and promised to discuss Danyang together.

Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu to stay in Chaisang, in charge of the overall situation, and personally led an army of 50,000 to attack Zhou Xin, and Wu Jing also led 30,000 soldiers to attack from the east.

Zhou Xin fought on both sides, the soldiers were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and he had sent 30,000 soldiers to help Wang Lang before, and now the Danyang defenders were less than 30,000, and in the face of Wu Jing and Sun Ce's exercises, Zhou Xin was really unbearable.

Zhou Xin asked Yuan Shu for help on the one hand, and asked Wang Lang to help him on the other hand, but he never thought that Wang Lang saw that the Zhou brothers were attacked by Yuan Shu's army, and felt that the general trend had gone, so he had the intention of preserving his strength, not only detained Zhou Xin's 30,000 Danyang soldiers, but also ignored Zhou Xin's request for help and did not send a single reinforcement.

Zhou Xin didn't know Wang Lang's situation, thinking that Wang Lang was too busy to take care of himself, and the messenger asking for help had not replied, and Zhou Xin was even more unclear, Yuan Shao was beyond his reach, and there was still a Xuzhou between Yanzhou and Danyang, even if he wanted to send troops to rescue, he was just powerless.

Yuan Shao issued an order in the name of the imperial court to apply for Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu ignored it, sent people to urge the two of Lei Book, a quick battle, Guangling Taishou Zhang Hong took office, built water conservancy, persuaded the class of agriculture, so that the people could have food and clothing, over time, there were not so many people who believed in Buddhism.

Su Jin served as a county officer, has been following Zhang Hong to learn to deal with political affairs, in the past two years, but he has learned a lot of things, but he has always been eager to make contributions on the battlefield, but there is no chance, this time Yuan Shu attacked Jiujiang, Yuan Shao asked Su Chen to rescue Zhou Qiao, Su Jin got the news, felt that his opportunity had come, so he asked Zhuge Liang to discuss.

Zhuge Liang admonished him not to act rashly, if there was no accident, the lord would never send troops to rescue, at most symbolically rescued, so now the time has not come, and it is not his turn to go to the battlefield.

When Su Jin heard Zhuge Liang say this, his heart was half cold, but he still practiced the eagle cavalry guard every day, waiting for the time to come in the future and become famous on the battlefield.

Su Chen did not send troops to rescue, Zhou Qiao was not Yuan Shu's opponent at all, in less than a month, Zhou Qiao was attacked by Lei Shu and Chen Lan, Zhou Qiao felt sorry for Yuan Shao's trust, and killed himself.

Zhou Xin heard that Jiujiang was broken and his brother committed suicide, and he was very hateful in his heart, but Sun Ce and Wu Jing were too powerful, and he was far from being an opponent, so he abandoned the city and fled to Guangling with his henchmen.

Su Chen lent the way to Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin returned to Yanzhou, and went to Luoyang to meet Yuan Shao to apologize, Yuan Shao did not blame him, and re-stated Zhou Xin as the assassin of Yanzhou, and Zhou Xin was grateful to Yuan Shao.

After Sun Ce occupied Danyang, his strength increased greatly, but at this time, Yuan Shu sent people to Sun Ce to ask for Lujiang, Sun Ce did not dare to be self-dictatorated, and passed the news to Su Chen, Su Chen hinted that he could hold Anhui County, and the rest of the territory might as well be given to Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce then asked Yuan Shu to be stationed in Anhui County, and gave Shucheng to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu suddenly took control of the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang, and his strength increased greatly, but the emperor's mind could no longer be suppressed.

After Sun Ce occupied Danyang, he learned that there was a force entrenched in the border between Danyang and Wu County for a long time, and this person's name was Yan Baihu, who was a bandit with tens of thousands of soldiers.

On the side of the couch, how could others sleep soundly, Sun Ce immediately led his troops to exterminate Yan Baihu, Yan Baihu was naturally not Sun Ce's opponent, after Sun Ce broke through the bandits, he fled with his henchmen, and his whereabouts are unknown.
