The reason why Sun Ce set the target of his departure in Liaodong was because before he set off, Ao Lie had already sent people to Liaodong to send a letter to Gan Ning, who was training the navy there, and asked Gan Ning to prepare the building ship and the warship, and stand by at any time, and as soon as Sun Ce arrived in Liaodong, he could carry Sun Ce back to Jiangdong by water.

Take the waterway, firstly, it is safer, and there will be no interception by Yuan Shu; Second, the waterway is to go straight south along the sea, which is much faster than taking the land route.

At the same time that Sun Ce rushed to Liaodong, in Shouchun, Yuan Shu's base camp, Yuan Shu was gathering everyone under his command to discuss a major matter. Since killing Sun Jian and capturing the four counties of Jiangdong, Yuan Shu's territory has extended from Nanyang in Jingzhou to Yangzhou, spanning Jing and Yangzhou, occupying most of Huainan. The expansion of the territory made Yuan Shu's ambition more and more inflated, and it was out of control.

In Yuan Shu's opinion, Dahan was already terminally ill and incorrigible. Now that he has such a large territory, such a large population, and a large number of generals and strategists under his command, he should stand up and completely overthrow the corrupt rule of the Han Dynasty. So, he gathered all the people under his command to discuss a major event: ascend to the Great Treasure and change the dynasty!

In troubled times, if you want to gain a higher status and have more privileges, the shortest way is to assist the monarch to become an emperor. In that case, will he become a minister of the dragon and the founding father, and there will be less glory and wealth in the future? Therefore, when Yuan Shu proposed to become emperor, most of the officials under his command rejoiced and expressed their approval.

But not everyone is short-sighted, and there are still a few people who can see the situation clearly. For example, Yan Xiang, the first to stand up against Yuan Shu's claim as emperor. Yan Xiang was the master of Yuan Shu's book, and he had a long-term vision, so he immediately persuaded: "My lord, in the past, King Wen of Zhou had two out of three parts of the world. He still claims to be a vassal to Yin Shang; Although the reputation of the lord's family is prosperous, it has not reached the level of King Wen of Zhou in the past. Although the Han Dynasty is now stormy, it does not have the tyranny of Yin Shang, and it is not the time for the lord to be the emperor. ”

Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, and almost roared and rebuked Yan Xiang: "What nonsense! In the past, Han Gaozu was just a pavilion chief in Si, and he was able to have the world and open the foundation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years. He is also the fourth generation and third prince of my family, and his protégés are all over the world, and he is the family that the people look forward to! Now the Han Dynasty has gone through 400 years, and the gas is exhausted. I should climb high and create another world! If I don't call myself emperor, then it will be against the way of heaven, and I have made up my mind, so don't say it again. When Yan Xiang heard this, he knew that Yuan Shu had made up his mind. Unexpectedly, he couldn't dissuade Yuan Shu, so he sighed and withdrew from the hall.

Yuan Shu is also a monkey anxious character, coupled with the instigation of being the emperor, he immediately put the matter of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor on the agenda. After more than half a month of preparation. With the help of a group of subordinates, Yuan Shu ascended the throne as emperor in Shouchun, changed the Yuan Zhong clan, and imitated the Han system. Set up provincial and Taiwan officials, and widely promulgated, announcing the matter of claiming to be emperor to the world. Since then. Yuan Shu rode the dragon and phoenix in and out, dreamed of the emperor, and began a life of extravagance.

When Sun Ce rushed back to Jiangdong, the matter of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor had spread all over the world. With this reason, Sun Ce changed his previous policy of showing weakness to Yuan Shu, and immediately issued a letter to generate that the Jiangdong Sun family was the minister of the Han Dynasty, and only obeyed the orders of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and would never be in the same stream as Yuan Shu, and strongly condemned Yuan Shu in the text, and the Jiangdong Sun family broke away from the attachment to Yuan Shu, and chose a day to crusade against the perverse Yuan Shu.

Before going to Yanjing to borrow troops, Sun Ce handed over all the affairs of Jiangdong to Sun Quan, and let the prestige Jiangdong Erzhang, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other old ministers assist Sun Quan. Jiangdong Erzhang is Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's brothers, the two are very prestigious in Jiangdong, and they are also first-class experts in managing internal affairs.

Sun Ce went to Yanjing, back and forth for more than two months, during this time, Sun Quan had to bow to Yuan Shu in order to preserve the vitality of the Sun family, and with the attitude of a weak, delayed Yuan Shu's idea of killing the Sun family, and won precious time for Sun Ce. Soon after Yuan Shu became emperor, Sun Ce rushed back to Jiangdong with 10,000 soldiers and 5,000 Qilin troops led by Gan Ning.

The ridiculous thing is that the current Yuan Shu soldiers have a wide range of generals, and they think very highly of themselves, thinking that although Sun Ce is a fierce tiger, he is just a toothless tiger, and he will definitely not be able to set off a big storm of fame just by virtue of a county, coupled with the extravagant life of the emperor, Yuan Shu has already lost his ambition, and he actually ignored Sun Ce's return to Jiangdong and let it develop. And Sun Ce did not live up to Yuan Shu's good intentions, it took only three months to recapture the two counties of Yangzhou, and also let Gan Ning lead the Qilin Army to clean up the water thieves in the nearby waters, after exterminating several water thieves, Sun Ce not only got nearly 20,000 new troops, but also got the two generals of the water thieves Jiang Qin and Chen Wu. As a result, Sun Ce's reputation became more and more prestigious, and the people of Jiangdong called Sun Ce "Sun Lang".

It wasn't until Sun Ce occupied the two counties one after another that Yuan Shu paid a little attention to Sun Ce, but it was only some. He sent Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, to lead his headquarters to conquer Sun Ce. Liu Miao spent a lot of money to buy off the powerful water thief leader Xue Li, and discussed attacking Sun Ce together. Sun Ce exterminated several water thieves one after another, shaking Jiangdong, Xue Li was worried that Sun Ce would use troops against him sooner or later, and it was better to take the initiative to attack while waiting, so he readily agreed to Liu Xuan's request, gathered more than 5,000 subordinates, and Liu Xuan formed a horn momentum, and launched a fierce battle with Sun Ce in the area of Shenxian Ridge.

Not to mention that Sun Ce led his troops to fight with Liu Xuan and Xue Li, when the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor spread all over the world, the reactions of various princes to this were also different.

First of all, the one who is most indignant is Ao Lie. Although Ao Lie does not have the idea of foolish loyalty, and will not swear allegiance to a certain person like the real ancients, but Yuan Shu's matter of taking advantage of the fire to rob, fall into the well, and split the country's stability and unity has touched Ao Lie's bottom line. Whether it is in the past life or the present life, the most intolerable thing for Ao Lie is those who don't care about the life and death of the people. An act that undermines the internal stability of a country for its own selfish gain. For this reason, Ao Lie specially wrote a letter to Liu Xie, stating that he must stand on Liu Xie's side, resist Yuan Shu's perverse behavior, and send the jade seal of the country from Sun Jian. In order to ensure that the jade seal could fall into Liu Xie's hands safely, Ao Lie also asked Ma Chao to escort him along the way with three thousand tiger troops. For a long time, Ao Lie was worried that sending someone to return the jade seal to Liu Xie would be intercepted by Yuan Shao and others with ulterior motives, so although he had already written a secret letter to Liu Xie, the jade seal was in his hands. But he never found a chance to send the jade seal back.

Now, after more than a year of precipitation, the matter of jade seal has long been forgotten; Moreover, after Ao Lie conquered the northern Xinjiang, he opened up a new road to Luoyang, starting from Yanjing to detour to the northern Xinjiang, and then going south from the original western Xianbei territory, you can go directly to the territory of the Sili Assassin History Department, and there is no need to pass through Yuan Shao's territory, which also avoids the risk of Yuan Shao intercepting the jade seal. At the critical moment when Yuan Shu usurped the throne. Ao Lie decided to return the jade seal to Liu Xie, with the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty.

Unlike Ao Lie's reaction, when Cao Cao received the news that Yuan Shu had ascended the throne as emperor, Cao Cao laughed for a full quarter of an hour. After laughing. Cao Cao still said to the people under his command: "It's ridiculous to kill me, Yuan Shu, that idiot, is actually the emperor!" This is really good, originally I was worried that our army would take half of Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Qingzhou. will cause dissatisfaction from the Son of Heaven and Yuan Shao, now it's okay, Yuan Shu, an idiot, took the initiative to jump out. Attracted everyone's attention, our army can develop slowly with peace of mind, Ha Lu Ha ...... "Cao Cao is right, Yuan Shu is equivalent to the game in the future, pull the big boss hatred of the player, take all the hatred on himself, indirectly gave Cao Cao a chance to breathe and develop, which made Cao Cao overjoyed."

Besides, Yuan Shao, don't look at him and Yuan Shu as brothers, but the two have been at odds since childhood, and now Yuan Shu dares to claim the emperor arrogantly by relying on his own control of the Jianghuai region, which is simply too stupid. Compared with the territory, Jianghuai is not as large as the Hebei region; Compared with the population, Jizhou is the second most populous state in the world, more than the population of Ao Lie, and the two states combined; Compared with economic strength, the Jianghuai region was relatively backward in the Han Dynasty, and it was far less rich than the Heibei region that relied on the Yellow River Basin; Compared with the strength of the soldiers under his command, Yuan Shao is a lot higher than Yuan Shu, the generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Ran, etc. were all famous generals at that time, and Wen Chen, Judge, Xu You, etc., were also resourceful, but Yuan Shu couldn't see this, and he was the emperor before himself!

In all fairness, Yuan Shao didn't want to be the emperor, but Yuan Shao was much more sober than Yuan Shu, and he clearly realized that although the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, it was far from the time to change the dynasty. Moreover, since Ao Lie was born, Liu Hong and Liu Xie, the two sons of heaven, obviously have the determination to improve the current predicament of the Han Dynasty, especially Liu Xie, now Liu Xie is not like his father, just a decoration, you must know that with the help of Ao Lie, Liu Xie now has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, and he is no longer a soft persimmon, therefore, Liu Xie will never tolerate someone who will openly encroach on the emperor.

To say that the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is not good, Yuan Shao does not care about Yuan Shu's life or death. But what Yuan Shao is worried about is that Yuan Shu rushes to become the emperor, which will leave a bad impression in the hearts of the people of the world, thinking that the Yuan family is relying on the name of the fourth world and the third prince, and does not put the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty in his eyes. Do you want Yuan Shao to change his surname? This is what Yuan Shao is really angry about. But he forgot that the things that ruined the prestige of the Yuan family, he Yuan Shao did not have done it, and the thing that ambushed Ao Lie in Shaxian County has not been completely eliminated until today.

In addition to the three most powerful princes, the rest of the princes also took a stand and resolutely drew a line with Yuan Shu, although they will not take any real measures in action, but verbal condemnation is still essential, otherwise, they will be truthful, and they will be said to be Yuan Shu's accomplices, and they can't afford this crime.

Of course, there is another one, who is the most angry. He is today's son Liu Xie. On the day he received the news that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, Liu Xie smashed all the things that could be smashed in the palace, and then plunged into the Taimiao, alone in front of the spiritual position of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and stayed for a whole day. No one knew what he had done or said in it, but when he walked out of the Taimiao, the civil and military officials all clearly felt that the twelve-year-old Liu Xie seemed to have suddenly grown up a lot, and his immature face had a layer of mature charm.
