After the advice of a group of advisers, Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng, Hebei, finally did not listen to the idea of those generals following Yuan Shu to become emperor.

Yuan Shao chose Xu You's advice and wrote back to Yuan Shu.

Just to congratulate him, and by the way, he was angry with yin and yang.

And at the same time.

The news about Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor has also been featured in the Han newspapers and periodicals in Xuchang at this moment.

Xu Jing and Xu Shao brothers commented wildly in the press on Yuan Shu's usurpation of the title.

I almost pointed at Yuan Shu's nose and scolded.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who had just led his troops to occupy the Sili area and was planning to go north to attack Hanoi, also received news about Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor.

Because the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor was too sudden, it directly disrupted Cao Cao's original plan to attack Hanoi.

In Cao Jun's big tent this time, the anger was a little weird.

Cao Cao sat on top of the chief of the big tent, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others sat on the left, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals on the right.

No one in the tent made a sound.

The original pace of attacking the Hanoi area was put on hold for the time being.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to suppress the news from Xuchang, and raised his eyebrows.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

After a while, Cao Cao couldn't help but speak.

The people below did not speak, and all eyes looked at this Cao Cao.

The latter paused and stood up with his hands on the case: "Although I look down on that Yuan Shu, I have always regarded the other party as a hero!" ”

"Hahaha!"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, I'm Cao Mengde who was wrong!"

Cao Cao laughed, and when he got the news that Yuan Shu was called emperor, he was somewhat shocked!

Why did he Yuan Shu dare to be the emperor at this time, and he still vainly said that he had a mandate of heaven, and said that it was his turn to inherit the mandate of the great man!

"What kind of hero is he Yuan Shu, but he's just a fool with arrogance!"

Cao Cao sneered.

In front of him, because Yuan Shu is the emperor, because he is a great Han Sikong, he must now be an example.

The Hanoi area is temporarily unable to attack.

Although Zhang Yang's ability is mediocre, it is not too difficult to stick to Hanoi.

Moreover, his subordinates have always been good, and it is difficult to take Hanoi easily.

Originally, he hoped that even if this battle dragged on until the end of the year, it would not hurt.

But now, after Yuan Shu became emperor, this matter can no longer be delayed.

He must call on the princes of the world to jointly crusade against Yuan Shu.

Otherwise, the face of the Han court will be lost.

With this kung fu, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the advice he had asked Xi Yu before about this battle.

The other party told him at the beginning that he was packing up and preparing to deal with Yuan Shu.

If it is said that Xi Yu knew the news that Yuan Shu was going to be the emperor in advance, this is somewhat unrealistic, and it can only be said that Fengyi's vision is too far.

He probably expected that Yuan Shu would act rebelliously!

Cao Cao already regretted this kung fu, if he had listened to Xi Yu's suggestion before, waited directly for Yuan Shu to become emperor, and then went to attack Yuan Shu, he wouldn't have to run in vain.

However, although this westward expansion was delayed by Yuan Shu's affairs, it was not a big deal.

Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked at the group.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that guy Yuan Shu has usurped the title of emperor, what do you think our army should do now?"

After asking the people below, Cao Cao's eyes fell on the people in front of him.

This kung fu Cao Ren and the others didn't know what to say.

Originally, it was preparing to attack Hanoi, and the army marched to the Si Lig area of Hanoi, and it took a lot of effort to carry it with all these days.

Zhang Yang on the opposite side has already lost two battles in a row.

After a little more time, the army will inevitably be able to defeat the flamboyant troops in one fell swoop, and then the Hanoi region will inevitably be controlled by Cai Cao Cao.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that at such a critical juncture, something like Yuan Shu would happen.

"My lord, I suggest, ignore the matter of Yuan Shu for the time being, this time to conquer Hanoi, our army is occupying this great advantage, and in a little time, it will definitely be able to capture the entire Hanoi region in one fell swoop!"

Cao Ren thought about it and spoke directly.

In his opinion, the current Han Dynasty would have collapsed long ago, and if it weren't for his eldest brother worshipping the Son of Heaven, the Han Dynasty might have perished long ago.

What about Yuan Shu being called emperor now?

It doesn't affect them for the time being.

For Cao Jun at the moment, taking advantage of this opportunity to attack Hanoi is the best time.

If the entire Hanoi area can be taken down in one fell swoop, and if it continues to advance westward, it can be aimed at Chang'an and other places.

Going north can also completely isolate Yuan Shao.

And now, Yuan Shao has just merged with the prefectures, and the other party has not completely controlled the entire annexed states.

This is the most important time for Cao Cao today!

Cao Ren said this, and Cao Cao thought the same thing in his heart, but although some things were clear, he was still limited after all.

If he ignores the news that Yuan Shu is the emperor today, then the majesty of the Xuchang Han Court will probably be compromised because of this.

In the future, if the Son of Heaven orders the princes, I am afraid that the princes of the world will not care.

And this situation is the most critical for Cao Cao.

He wants to pacify the world, and the banner of the Son of Heaven must now be erected to ensure its majestic existence.

Yuan Shu rashly proclaimed himself emperor, which was to provoke the majesty of the Han court.

Cao Cao didn't speak, and Cao Hong and the others below also echoed after Cao Ren finished speaking.

Probably for these generals, the battle in front of them is the most critical.

As for Yuan Shu, when he cleaned up Zhang Yang, it was not too late to turn his head to deal with Yuan Shu.

It's just that Cao Cao didn't make up his mind.

And this kung fu, Xun Yu on the left side finally spoke.

"Lord, Yuan Shu has been called emperor this time, and the news has spread to the world, and the princes of the world must be angry when they want to come to their attitude towards him this time."

"And the lord is the official of the court, in charge of administrative and military power, and now the princes in the world have not moved, so I think I am sitting and watching the reaction of the lord!"

"If the lord doesn't take measures against Yuan Shu at the first time, the majesty of the imperial court will be discredited!"

"At that time, in this world, I'm afraid it's not just a Yuan Shu emperor!"

Xun You opened his mouth and directly expressed the benefits and disadvantages, and Cao Cao, who heard this, was also very clear in his heart.

He had to be the first to take a stand.

It can't even be delayed for too long.

"Withdraw the troops and return to Xuchang!"

Cao Cao sighed, reluctantly spoke, and then looked at Cheng Yu on the side.

"Zhongde, you write a wedge script in cursive as soon as possible to write Yuan Shu's sins, and then summon the world!"

"From today, the army will pack up and return to Xuchang, I want to show your majesty, and then discuss the crusade against Yuan Shu!"

After making a choice in his heart, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all.

It's just that he is giving up the Hanoi area for now, and he will take this Hanoi sooner or later, but the majesty of the Han Court cannot be lost now.

Compared with the two, Cao Cao naturally distinguishes the priorities.

This kung fu, Cao Ren and the others didn't say anything when they heard Cao Cao's order.

It's just that it will take several days for the army to return to Xuchang.

After all, the 200,000 army can't withdraw in such a hurry because of Yuan Shu's affairs, and it still needs to be coordinated.

……

Because of Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, Cao Cao began to summon the world to talk about Yuan Shu's sins, and at the same time prepared to return to Xuchang to discuss the crusade against Yuan Shu.

And at the same time.

At this moment, Lu Bu, who was heading towards Shouchun, also received the news that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor.

Even, after learning that Lu Bu had entered the Yangzhou territory, Yuan Shu also sent an envoy to meet Lu Bu as soon as possible.

Yuan Shu came to inform Lü Bu that his lord was called the emperor and wanted to reward Lü Bu as the general under Yuan Shu.

After hearing these words, Lu Bu was a little stunned for the first time!

To be honest, the title of general did make Lu Bu a little moved, but Cao Xing who was following closely on the side couldn't help but say a word to Lu Bu.

"Jun Hou, don't be deceived by Yuan Shu!"

Cao Xuan spoke, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the other party, and now there are not many people around him who can give him advice.

He missed Chen Gong a little.

It's a pity that Chen Gong did not serve him at the beginning, and when he captured Yanzhou, the two were only in a cooperative relationship.

At the moment, although Cao Xing's wisdom is not outstanding, sometimes his words are quite reasonable.

"Go on!"

Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xing, and his face did not change in the slightest.

Seeing Lu Bu asking Cao Xing, he didn't hesitate at all: "Jun Hou is the marquis of the Han Dynasty, and now the Han Court is still there, Yuan Shu's act of claiming to be the emperor is a thief!" ”

"And since the monarch entered Luoyang, he has beheaded the country and protected the Son of Heaven, and he is the purest minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"Now, that Yuan Shu just occupies the land of Yangzhou, so he claims to be the emperor in vain, if the monarch gives up his position as the monarch and takes over the title of Yuan Shu's unworthy general, wouldn't he be willing to fall!"

In the final analysis, Cao Xing's meaning is that Yuan Shu only has a palm-sized territory in Yangzhou, so he claims to be the emperor in vain.

The general he was named is nothing at all.

You, Lu Bu, are now the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, which is not something that Yuan Shu's great general can compare.

All in all, it's Yuan Shu who is not worthy!

After Cao Xing's words fell, Lu Buton had time to figure it out.

Oh, yes!

Yuan Shu, that guy only occupies one Yangzhou land and becomes the emperor, this is purely sick!

Although he Lu Bu is too lazy to think too much about it on weekdays, he can still think through some things.

Why are you Yuan Shu called the emperor?

Moreover, Lao Tzu gave up merging the state, and came with a large army for thousands of miles, this time I came to cooperate with you, you turned your head and called the emperor, and as a result, you wanted Lao Tzu to be your little brother?

I really thought that he Lu Bu was so easy to bully.

This time, it's just for the sake of the name of the Yuan family, but you Yuan Shu is stupid, and you want to drag me into the water together, I really think Lao Tzu is a reckless man.

Lu Bu's face gradually sank.

At this moment, he was already a little lucky, fortunately he had not arrived in Yangzhou yet, otherwise he would have waited until Yangzhou to see Yuan Shu's words of being the emperor in front of him.

Maybe he'll be blown up himself!

This kung fu Lu Bu thought of his daughter again, and the girl didn't know where to run this time.

But, fortunately, that girl has her own perennial teaching, and although her strength is not first-class, it is more than enough for self-protection.

After leaving Lu Qiling behind for the time being, Lu Bu's kung fu became difficult again.

Now he has gone to the Yangzhou region.

And the state has been given up by him, and there is no going back this time.

But just obediently treating Yuan Shu as a junior brother, he couldn't bear it.

"What now?"

Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xing, and he could be regarded as having recognized the other party's advice just now.

Seeing that Lu Bu recognized himself, Cao Xuan lowered his head and thought about it.

"Jun Hou, now, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and it will inevitably attract the princes of the world to discuss it!"

"The lord may have three choices this time!"

Cao Xuan spoke, and Lu Bu couldn't help but become interested when he heard this.

What else can this kid come up with with three options?

"Tell me about it!"

Lu Bu looked squarely, this can be regarded as the attitude of the lord of this era when he listens to the advice of his subordinates.

Cao Xing saw Lu Bu like this, but he didn't pause.

"One: Jun Hou can be like the princes of the world, to discuss Yuan Shu, this time Jun Hou has gone deep into Yangzhou, and can be the first person in the world to crusade against Yuan Shu.

After the lord makes a call, the princes of the world will definitely respond, and this move can also make the lord famous in the world! ”

After the first choice was spoken, Lu Bu pulled his eyebrows down.

Directly attacking Yuan Shu, Cao Xing's guy still looks too simple.

He only brought 20,000 Xiliang soldiers this time, and although Yuan Shu only occupied Yangzhou, there were more than 100,000 soldiers under his command.

What's more, the strong city of Shouchun City, 20,000 against 100,000 is undoubtedly a move to seek death.

"Go on!"

The first choice was that Lu Bu did not continue to listen.

Although on the bright side, this advice is really good, and it can even be famous.

But he is in Yuan Shu's territory, using 20,000 soldiers and horses to deal with the other party, this is not looking for death, but what to do.

Once he tears his face with Yuan Shu and the other party joins forces to attack him, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for those princes to come and crusade against Yuan Shu.

What's more, those princes, when will they crusade against Yuan Shu, it's another matter!

Lu Bu didn't listen to the first suggestion, and Cao Xingdao didn't think much about it, but thought about it and continued to speak.

"The second is that Jun Hou is attached to Yuan Shu, which is a desperate strategy!"

Before Cao Xing finished speaking, Lu Bu shook his head directly when he heard this: "Even if it's a good idea, don't say more, talk about what options you have!" ”

Lu Bu was already a little impatient, and seeing that the other party was a little angry, Cao Xuan hurriedly followed and continued to speak.

"The last choice is to inform Yuan Shu that although he does not recognize the other party as emperor, he still forms an alliance with the other party, but this time he can't continue to go to Shouchun!

You should choose a good place to develop yourself! ”

After saying this, Lu Bu frowned and jumped up.

If you listen closely, only the third option is quite pertinent!

However, if you choose a good place, you should choose there, could he turn his head and hit Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

This time, along the way, he and Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu and others have already fought.

Although there are few losses, there is no way to take Zhang Xiu and others, and it is not a good choice to turn around and attack Jingzhou.

Lu Bu frowned, and he looked at Cao Xing: "Choose a good place, where do you think it is suitable now?" ”

When asked where it was suitable, Cao Xuan knew that Lu Bu had already chosen the third way out in his heart.

In his opinion, if there is a suitable place now, it is only the land of Xuzhou!

First, the Han Dynasty newspaper published before that Cao Cao led 200,000 troops to the west, and now, Xuzhou in the rear must not have too many troops!

On the other hand, Xuzhou borders on Yuan Shu's territory, and if you attack Xuzhou, you can also take the opportunity to ask Yuan Shu for some food, grass and military supplies.

In this way, it can go a lot smoother!

Thinking like this, Cao Cao followed suit.

"Jun Hou, in my opinion, Xuzhou is good!"

"This time Cao Cao led the army to the west, it is the time for the monarch to settle in Xuzhou!"

Although there have been disasters in Dahan in recent years, Xuzhou has already recovered after two years of recovery!

And Xuzhou has always been a rich land of the Han Dynasty before.

If he can take Xuzhou, it may be a very good way out for Lu Bu.

Hearing Cao Xing say this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up in an instant.

Xuzhou, but it's good!

Now, he was forced by Yuan Shao to leave Bingzhou, and there was a gap between him and Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao took a large army out this time, Xuzhou is a good time for him to attack, and now he is not far from Xuzhou, just pass through Shouchun, you can go all the way to the north to attack Xuzhou.

"Yes, it's Xuzhou!"

After Lu Bu made up his mind, he directly informed the envoy of Yuan Shu.

Inform him that he came here to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, not to be a minister, and this time Yuan Shu called the emperor He can congratulate, but he will never be a minister.

After Yuan Shu's envoy returned, Lu Bu secretly cursed Yuan Shu in his heart.

However, after having a new goal, Lu Budao did not delay the march, and after greeting his subordinates, he continued to come to Shouchun.

At noon the next day.

Lü Bu led the Xiliang army into Shouchun, and when he learned that Lü Bu was coming, Yuan Shu waited for the other party to come to meet him with the emperor's shelf.

However, Lu Bu didn't pay attention to him, he told Yuan Shu that if you want to continue the alliance, you Yuan Shu will not be defeated.

"What a Lu Fengxian, when he arrived in my territory, he was still so presumptuous!"

After receiving Lu Bu's response, Yuan Shu was furious in the newly built temporary palace.

It's just that the hundreds of officials under this kung fu still can't help but admonish.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is a famous person in the world, and Your Majesty should treat him with some respect!"

"In the past, when King Wen of Zhou invited Lu Shang, he was still courteous, and King Wu of Zhou even carried Lu Shang hundreds of zhang away, so that there was a world of eight hundred years of the Great Zhou!"

"Now although Lu Bu is a talented Lu Shang, he is also a rare fierce general in the world, since he has formed an alliance with His Majesty this time, His Majesty will treat him with courtesy!"

Some of the hundreds of officials under him admonished, and then the ministers followed.

In the final analysis, in the eyes of these Shouchun officials, Yuan Shu's strength is still a little lacking after all.

Lu Bu did not show hostility this time, and even expressed his intention to go north to Xuzhou.

This is completely acceptable for Shouchun Baiguan.

There is no need to have a bad relationship with Lu Bu because of this trivial matter at the moment.

After listening to the advice of the hundreds of officials under the Dao, Yuan Shu frowned and was a little silent.

He looked up at his subordinates.
