What Yuan Shu couldn't let go of in his life was that Yuan Shao, the concubine, pressed on his head.

This is not a matter of official position, superiors and subordinates, the key is that in the eyes of the world, Yuan Shao represents the Yuan family, and Yuan Shu is far from Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao led the scholar clan as a concubine and became a veritable overlord of Hebei, and three parts of the world were in the hands of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu could only live in a corner of Yangzhou.

The idea of becoming the emperor was born after Yuan Shu snatched the jade seal from Sun Jian's widow.

Recently, the idea of becoming the emperor has become stronger and stronger.

Claiming to be the emperor is something that only the founders of two generations of dynasties have successfully done throughout the ages, Emperor Yingzheng of Qin and Emperor Liu Bang of Han.

As for the successor of the dynasty, perhaps only Liu Xiu is half of the people who fought back to the country by himself.

Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor, perhaps whimsical, and at the same time he is immeasurable.

But he has his own ideas and original intentions, in addition to the ambition of the wolf, the consideration of political appeal and status is also one of the reasons why he wants to be the emperor.

Now, he is a prince, and if he is called emperor, he is emperor!

Defection to the princes and defection to the emperor are two different concepts.

The princes are the ministers, and the emperor is the lord.

The merit of the ministers is better than the merit of the dragon, and Yuan Shu said that if someone comes to the emperor, its meaning is completely different from that of Yuan Shu is that the princes have someone to take refuge.

Since Yuan Shao has already commanded the scholars, and Cao Ying has also coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Yuan Shu can't sit still, and if he is called the emperor, perhaps, he can attract heroes from all over the world who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to work.

It's just that Yuan Shu looked down on the eyes of people with lofty ideals in the world.

Guo Jia has always believed that the princes are strong, and strength is a prerequisite, and what kind of strength can determine how much territory and how high the status is.

Not to mention Yuan Shu, even if he is more extensive than him, with more money and food, if Yuan Shao, who is prosperous in soldiers and horses, is called the emperor, most of the end will be miserable.

Why?

For there cannot be two emperors in the world, because princes cannot tolerate the existence of people with a position above them.

Although Liu Xie is the son of the Han Dynasty, he is already in name.

If a prince like Yuan Shao is called the emperor, the princes will fall behind in terms of status, and at the same time, if the princes ignore it, over time, Yuan Shao, the emperor, will become more and more stable, and the hearts of the people in the world will gradually favor Yuan Shao, which is the reason why the princes cannot tolerate it.

As for the talents, it is because Yuan Shao, as a Han minister, has usurped and rebelled, which is a kingless and fatherless, and should be spurned by the world.

The truth is the same for any prince, you can't dominate the world, you can't do it under the premise that the Han family is not dead, and you can't do it before the strength is not enough to compete with the world, no prince dares to rashly claim the emperor.

Cao Pi wants to be the emperor, and he has to make concessions, instead of erecting the banner of Wei by himself, and he wants to transfer the name of the Son of Heaven from the hands of the Han Emperor to his own hands, not jumping out and saying that he is the Son of Heaven.

If Yuan Shu wants to risk the disapproval of the world and claim the founding of the country, he must first solve the problem of self-preservation.

Liu Biao is not in trouble, Sun Ce is his own person who Yuan Shu regards as his son, Lu Bu is repeatedly greedy, Yuan Shu is confident that he can easily appease and win over Lu Bu, and the only major trouble is Cao Ying.

A godsend.

Cao Ying waved his army to fight Guanzhong, and his soldiers and horses were damaged, which was the opportunity for Yuan Shu to become emperor.

After he founded the country, he recruited troops and horses, and waved his army north, as long as Cao Ying's vitality was greatly damaged in Guanzhong, Yuan Shu was confident that he would not fail this time.

Yuan Shu, who was planning to establish a country and become emperor in Shouchun, did not expect Sun Ce, who he regarded as his son, to send a reply letter.

Syllable!

"Bo Fu, you dare to bear me!"

Yuan Shu shot the case and rushed to the crown in anger.

He never imagined that the Sun family, whom he treated well, would one day part ways with him.

Sun Ce bitterly persuaded Yuan Shu not to be the emperor, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring.

Yuan Shu was in a trance and remorseful.

He treats Sun Jian and Sun Ce very well.

Everyone in the world can scold him Yuan Shu, but the people of the Sun family can't!

"Sun Ce, when your father left Jingzhou, everyone betrayed his relatives and left, if I hadn't been kind enough to take him in and treat him well, how could you be where you are today!"

Yuan Shu screamed angrily from the main seat in the hall.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he couldn't afford to be sick, and the matter of claiming the emperor was temporarily delayed until his condition improved.

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, who came to Luoyang in high spirits, have been in poor condition recently, as if the passing year is unfavorable, and this spring, their soldiers and horses have suffered a lot of setbacks in Hangu Pass in the north and Wuguan in the south.

The two of them are now sad and sad, sighing for a long time, but Yuan Shao is from the heart, but Cao Ying is acting on the spot.

Every two days, the battle reports of Hangu Pass made Yuan Shao angry.

Defeat, defeat, defeat!

Always a failure!

There were a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses in front of Chun Yuqiong, and before he knew it, there were less than 20,000 left.

He returned home with a small defeat in every game, and the soldiers and horses lost in every game seemed to be negligible, but after more than a month, he actually lost more than 40,000 soldiers and horses!

This is the same as the gambler who uses a small gamble to deceive others, lose a little today, lose a little tomorrow, and accumulate over time, and no matter how small the bet is, there is no family left.

Cao Ying's side does not seem to be optimistic, the Xiahou brothers have not made an inch of success in attacking Wuguan, the soldiers and horses are folded, and now there are less than 5,000 soldiers left in the east of Wuguan, I am afraid that as long as Yan Yan and Pang Tong lead the army out of the pass, Cao Jun will immediately flee.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses that Cao Ying came to the alliance were completely lost, which is probably something that Yuan Shao was secretly pleased with during this time.

To contain Cao Ying's goal, Yuan Shao has already achieved it.

But he couldn't conquer Guanzhong, and he was always unwilling.

Pacing back and forth in the hall, Yuan Shao was uneasy.

Chun Yuqiong's incompetence, he is completely recognized.

More than 40,000 soldiers were lost, and less than 3,000 enemies were killed.

It's a joke everywhere.

If Yuan Shao withdraws his army, he, the first prince in the world, will be smiling and generous.

Chun Yuqiong was ineffective in combat, and Yuan Shao's difficulty was not to withdraw Chun Yuqiong, but to change who would attack Hangu Pass.

He brought five generals who could take charge of themselves, Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang Jaw Ju Yi Chun Yu Qiong.

The distraught Yuan Shao called all the advisers to listen to their opinions.

Guo Tu Xu You, frustrated and judged, the four of them came to Yuan Shao, and saw that Yuan Shao's complexion was not good, and everything was clear to him.

At this time, only Frustrated Zhu dared to touch Yuan Shao's head, came to Yuan Shao's body, and said solemnly: "Lord, if you want to break the Hangu Pass, I'm afraid there is only one person in Luoyang." ”

Yuan Shaohu stared at Fu Zhi suspiciously, as if he was blaming him for why he didn't say it earlier!

"Who?"

Yuan Shao asked.

After being silent for a long time, he said softly, "Open your jaw." ”

Yuan Shao's expression really changed greatly, and there was a bit of fierceness in his majesty.

Although Yuan Shao couldn't see Zhang Jaw, he sent a lot of gold, silver and silk to Zhang Jaw as a comfort.

But that's not what you need to open your jaw.

If Yuan Shao uses his jaw again at this time, won't it be equivalent to giving himself a slap in the face?

Isn't it equivalent to denying your previous decision?

But after a while, Yuan Shao's expression gradually softened, and he sighed lightly and said, "Send someone to invite Jun Yi." ”

Face and the country, which is more important, Yuan Shao can still distinguish clearly.

Now that Cao Ying's soldiers and horses are completely damaged, he is no longer able to interfere with him, and Yuan Shao has already guarded against the cold arrows behind him, and now, if he can take Guanzhong, he will be able to dominate the world.

At this time, it is not the time to worry about the gains and losses of face.

As long as Zhang Jaw can break through Hangu Pass, it will also be Yuan Shao's victory.

Zhang Jaw came to Yuan Shao with a depressed face, and after saluting listlessly, he stopped making a sound.

Yuan Shao didn't have time to take care of his inner feelings, so he went straight to the point.

"Jun Yi, I will give you 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus Chun Yuqiong's remaining 15,000 outside Hangu Pass, are you sure to break through Hangu Pass?"

Yuan Shao's words were like a heart booster, which made Zhang Jaw raise his head in disbelief, and at the same time his spirit was greatly lifted!

He thought that Yuan Shao would never trust him again.

But he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be willing to give him a chance and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

"The last general commands! Never disappoint the expectations of the lord! ”

Zhang Jaw clenched his fists and accepted the military order in a deep voice, without the slightest hesitation.

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and then said: "I will send Wen Chou with you again to help you break the enemy's strategy, and you are in charge." ”

Yan Liangwen is a fierce general, but he is not a wise general, and it is not enough to rely on fierceness in a tough battle like Hangu Pass, but also on resourcefulness.

Zhang Jaw frowned slightly, and finally retreated as ordered.

He was worried that Wen Chou would mislead himself and others like Chun Yuqiong, but since Yuan Shao said that he would decide on the military, there should be no problem.

Hangu Pass has a countermeasure, Yuan Shao wants to enter the pass, Wuguan is also a military stronghold, and now Cao Ying's soldiers and horses can no longer pose a threat to Wuguan, Yuan Shao began to think about dividing troops to fight Wuguan.

Whether it is Wuguan or Hangu Pass, as long as one of them is breached, Guanzhong will be at your fingertips.

For more than a month, Yuan Shao also saw that Zhang Xiu only dared to retreat in Nanyang and take advantage of the fire to rob, but obviously Zhang Xiu did not have it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I intend to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses from Ju Yi to attack Wuguan, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao regained a bit of calm and unhurried bearing, and sat on the main seat.

Guo Tu Xu You, frustrated by the trial and matching, did not say anything against it.

was originally fought with Cao Ying, but now it has become Yuan Shao's one-man show.

Cao Jun's loss of consumption in Wuguan is not fake, and now, it is the best opportunity for Yuan Shao to take Guanzhong in one go.

Wuguan is better than Hangu Pass, let Ju Yi lead an army of 50,000 to fight, Ju Yi has always been brave, and tackling tough battles is his forte.

Yuan Shao waved an army of 200,000 to come, and now Hangu Pass will be led by Zhang Jaw 50,000 troops, Wuguan will be commanded by Ju Yi 50,000 troops, Yuan Shao left Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong by his side, and personally led the army of 50,000.

In the early stage, because Yuan Shao and Cao Ying did not work together, although they had many soldiers and horses, they were intriguing and could not form a joint force.

Two days later, Ju Yi led an army of 50,000 to Wuguan, intending to rest for a day, storm Wuguan, and charge the troops, which will be the first to be in charge of him!

A day ago, Zhang Jaw led 40,000 reinforcements to Hangu Pass, he did not look at Chun Yuqiong's ugly and aggrieved look of decadence, but looked at the towering Guancheng a few miles away.

Zhang Liao, the previous victory and defeat were not scored, and now, you and I are competing again!
