Xuzhou City, which is hundreds of miles away from Luoyang.

Lu Bu stood on the city wall, holding the battlements with one hand, looking at the empty outside of the city, his brows twisted into the word "Chuan".

"Warm wait!" Standing behind Lu Bu, Chen Gong called Lu Bu softly, and then said to him: "Yuan Shu killed Yang Feng, a general under the command of King Qin, and Yu Shouchun proclaimed himself emperor, and sent envoys to ......."

"What do you want from the public station?" Without waiting for Chen Gong to finish speaking, Lu Bu asked him coldly.

Asked by Lu Bu like this, Chen Gong immediately stopped talking and stood behind Lu Bu with his fists in his fists.

He didn't expect that Yuan Shu would do things so decisively.

Claiming to be the emperor has already risked the disapproval of the world, and even killed the general under Liu Wei outside the door of the hall, and sacrificed Yang Feng's head to the sky.

With Liu Wei's temperament, it was only a matter of time to attack Huainan, and it was no longer possible for Huainan and Luoyang to be at peace from then on.

"Capture Yuan Shu's envoys!" Looking out of the city, Lu Bu pondered for a moment before instructing a personal soldier behind him: "Escort to Luoyang and hand it over to King Qin!" ”

"Wen Hou ......" As soon as Lu Bu's words came out, Chen Gong was stunned for a moment.

If Lu Bu did this, he would have chosen a queue in Yuan Shu's farce of becoming emperor, and since then he has embarked on the road of being an enemy of Yuan Shu.

"A certain Hanchen, how can he meet the thief's envoy?" Turning to face Chen Gong, Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Chen Gong in an unusually resolute tone: "Yuan Shu is the emperor, but he is a rebellious man, such a rebellious minister and thief, does the public platform have to be implicated with it?" ”

Although the alliance with Yuan Shu will gain a lot of benefits in the war against Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, Chen Gong also knows that once he is involved with Yuan Shu too much, Lu Bu, who already has an in-law relationship with Yuan Shu, is afraid that he will be classified as a rebel and thief by the heroes of the world in the future.

"Wen Hou decides!" Knowing that Yuan Shu had already made a decision to do things, if Lu Bu did not make a decision at this time, he would definitely be dragged down by Yuan Shu in the future, Chen Gong hugged his fists and said to Lu Bu: "It's just that now Cao Jun has entered Xuzhou to suppress thieves...... Can the matter of sending Yuan Shu's envoys to Luoyang be postponed? ”

"Hold?" Frowning tightly, Lu Bu turned around abruptly, facing Chen Gong and asked him, "When does Gongtai think it is appropriate to capture Yuan Shu's envoys?" ”

"Wait until Yuan Shu sends troops to Xuchang." Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "At that time, Cao Jun will definitely return to the army to save himself, and Xuzhou's predicament will be solved." ”

"Just according to the words of the public platform!" Knowing that once he offended Yuan Shu, Xuzhou could only rely on his own family from now on, Lu Bu hesitated, nodded and said to Chen Gong: "This matter is decided by the public platform!" ”

The news of Yuan Shu's killing of Yang Feng soon spread all over the world.

Liu Wei's crusade against Yuan Shu also fell into the hands of heroes in various places.

Sun Ce led the army south, conquering the city all the way, and was restoring the original glory of the Sun clan in Jiangdong.

Yuan Shao of Hebei responded positively, but just as Liu Wei expected, Yuan Shao was preparing troops and horses, planning to further open up territory in the Central Plains, and it was difficult to allocate troops for the time being, so he just sent a message in response to Liu Wei.

As for Cao Cao, he was even more focused on Xuzhou, and it was impossible to divide his troops to crusade against Huainan.

Taishan County in Xuzhou, in the camp of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia walked side by side in the camp, and asked Guo Jia while walking Cao Cao: "A few days ago, the King of Qin ordered people to go to Huainan to ask for the jade seal of the country, but Yuan Shu killed the envoy of the King of Qin and sacrificed to the sky. ”

"Yuan Shu, it's just a clown!" The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Guo Jia shook his head, and said to Cao Cao: "Although Yuan Shu has long had the heart of disobedience, he can be the emperor rashly claiming the title of emperor with the jade seal of the country, but he has touched the reverse scale of the heroes of the world. There are few rebels, and there are many co-fellers, and Huainan is already precarious! ”

"Although the King of Qin issued a message, he did not send troops to fight." After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and muttered for a while before saying to Guo Jia: "In this way, I'm afraid Yuan Shu will also be involved in this Xuzhou matter." ”

"Yuan Shu is the emperor, if you want to live in peace, the first person to break is Ming Gong!" While walking with Cao Cao in the barracks, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "A few days ago, the King of Qin issued a military household order, and the original Luoyang military camp was disbanded, and since then it has been renamed as a military household. Adult men who are willing to join the military household have a monthly military salary, although it is not comparable to the main force, but it is also an extra income that can be obtained without labor, and Ding Zhuang is enthusiastic to join in all parts of the country under the rule of King Qin. ”

Listening to Guo Jia's narration, Cao Cao couldn't help nodding his head and didn't answer.

"In this way, all the people under the rule of King Qin are soldiers, and whoever goes to attack is afraid that it will be difficult to get half of the benefits." Turning his head to look at Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to him: "Right now, Duke Ming is leading an army to attack Xuzhou, and there is emptiness in Xuchang City......"

"Huh?" When Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao turned his head and asked him with a stunned face: "Could it be that Fengxiao thinks that Yuan Shu will attack Xuchang?" ”

"No!" Guo Jia shook his head and said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shu will definitely attack Xuchang!" ”

Knowing from Guo Jia that Yuan Shu would definitely attack Xuchang, Cao Cao stopped, turned his head to look at Guo Jia and asked him: "Now Sun Guan and others are besieging Xiaopei, and in the near future, our army should have an excuse to help Liu Bei defend the city, crusade against the Qingzhou army, and enter Xiaopei City." If you turn back to Xuchang at this time, you will fall short......"

"Xuchang is urgent!" Holding his fists and bowing to Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Duke Ming can order General Sun Guan to withdraw to Yanzhou this evening, and the army will be drawn in three days, so as to solve the urgent need of Xuchang first." ”

After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao finally nodded and said to Guo Jia: "Since this is the case, I have to leave Xuzhou to dry." ”

Yuan Shu, who was called the emperor, also knew very well that if he did not break through Xuchang as soon as possible and solve Cao Cao first, once Liu Wei and Cao Cao were free, Huainan might not be able to deal with the attack from both sides.

Before becoming emperor, he was ready to go out of Xuchang.

Shouchun City in the point of the platform.

Yuan Shu, who was dressed in a pure black robe, stood on the high platform and looked around at the Huainan army lined up in a neat formation below.

All the Huainan troops looked up at Yuan Shu, who was high above, and quietly waited for Yuan Shu to lecture them.

"Soldiers! Rejoice! With his arms raised high, Yuan Shu shouted to the soldiers of the Huainan Army: "Now that I have ascended the throne, you will no longer be the princes and soldiers, but the heavenly army under the command of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Hooray! Banzai! All the Huainan troops raised their swords high and cheered in unison.

Although there were cheers, the hearts of the soldiers of the Huainan Army did not know what Yuan Shu's ascension to the throne had to do with them.

There are still so many salaries, the equipment has not been improved, and the accommodation environment in the barracks has not changed at all compared with the past.

Intoxicated by the cheers of the soldiers, after a while, Yuan Shu raised his hand and pressed it twice to the audience.

The soldiers of the Huainan Army stopped cheering, and looked up at Yuan Shu standing on the high platform one by one.

Yuan Shu on the high platform first looked around at the soldiers of the Huainan Army, and then shouted loudly: "Ji Ling listens to the order!" ”

Hearing Yuan Shu call him, Ji Ling hurriedly stepped forward, stood under the high platform, clenched his fists and bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "The last general!" ”

"And today there is a big chaos, the Han family is tired, I occasionally have to pass on the jade seal of the country, and I should be enthroned as the emperor by heaven." Looking down at Ji Ling in the audience, Yuan Shu said to him: "Cao Cao is a traitor, coerced the Han Emperor to order the princes, and instigated the bandit army to enter Xuzhou, intending to annex Xuzhou. I remember that the sky has the virtue of a good life, and I have compassion for the people of the world. Intending to save the people from fire and water, I specially ordered you to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to defeat Xuchang in order to please the main general Cao! ”

"The Last General's Order!" Clenched his fists and bowed, facing the high platform and bowed deeply, Ji Ling responded, and then pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, crossed his waist with the other hand, and stepped to the side of the high platform.

"Zhang Xun listens to orders!" When Ji Ling strode to the side, Yuan Shu then called out to Zhang Xun.

After being summoned by Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun also stepped forward, hugged his fists and bowed in response: "The last general!" ”

"You are the deputy general, and you will lead the army with Ji Ling!" Looking down at Zhang Xun who was standing under the stage, Yuan Shu also gave him the will to canonize.

"The Last General's Order!" Also bowed with his fists and received the will, Zhang Xun also stood sideways to the side, pressing the hilt of the sword with one hand and the other hand on his waist.

Yuan Shu personally mobilized, and the mighty Huainan Army, under the leadership of Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, drove out of Shouchun City and advanced all the way to the north.

When the 50,000 Huainan army came out of Shouchun, Yuan Shu, who had already stepped down from the high platform, said to Li Feng who was following him: "The army has already left for Xuchang, but there is news of Cao Cao." ”

"Cao Cao's movements have not yet been heard." Following Yuan Shu, while walking forward slowly, Li Feng said to Yuan Shu: "It's just that the envoy sent to Xuzhou by His Majesty sent the news back!" ”

"How?" After becoming emperor, Yuan Shu, who had always wanted to win over Lu Bu, heard that the messenger to Xuzhou had sent back the news, so he hurriedly turned around and asked Li Feng.

"Lu Bu's attitude is ****, not to say that he supports His Majesty to become the emperor, nor does he say that he opposes it." Following behind Yuan Shu, looking at Yuan Shu without blinking, Li Feng said to Yuan Shu with some uncertainty in his tone: "Now the King of Qin is still providing war horses for Lu Bu, I don't know what Lu Bu thinks?" ”

"Lu Bu is the brave general of the world! It's just repeated for people, which really makes people dare not reuse! With his brows furrowed tightly, Yuan Shu said to Li Feng: "Earlier, Li Dao and Guo Yan attacked Chang'an, and he led the army to serve, but I did not agree. Before entering Huainan, he led the army to serve the king of Qin, who treated him well and rewarded him well, but this person launched a mutiny in Luoyang, which shows that it cannot be reused. ”

Having said this, Yuan Shu stopped, turned to face Li Feng, and said to Li Feng: "But now is an extraordinary time, you should immediately send a letter and ask the messenger to inform Lu Bu that if he supports me to ascend the throne and become emperor, I will make him the king of Xuzhou!" ”
