In fact, Liu Bei's idea in his heart was also to attack Yuan Shu, because now Yuan Shu was no less threatening to him than Cao Cao, and the wealth of the Jianghuai region also deeply attracted Liu Bei.

Besides, the resentment between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei is not a matter of one or two days, not to mention that Liu Bei has also been prepared for this kind of preparation a long time ago, and he has been preparing for war day and night in this year.

As soon as he heard that he was going to attack Yuan Shu, Zhang Fei said very happily: "I have long been unaccustomed to Yuan Shu's kid, in the past, when the princes of the Eighteen Roads met in the alliance, that kid deducted our food, at that time I wanted to beat that kid, and now I finally have a chance." ”

Guan Yu also stroked his beard and said: "Yes, this kid Yuan Shu always relies on his identity as a famous family, and he doesn't look down on us who are born with mud legs, so let him see how powerful we are this time." ”

At the same time, before the army was mobilized, Yuan Shu secretly summoned the generals led by Ji Ling and Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and other cronies in Shouchun's palace.

After everyone entered, the first thing that caught their eyes was the heirloom jade seal on the handsome case, and at this moment, Yuan Shu was looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone also had points in their hearts, and Yuan Shu couldn't help but play with the jade seal of the country and said: "Everyone, last night I dreamed that a golden dragon was wrapped around me and made a dragon groan, what kind of omen is this?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke for a while, only the stupid big Ji Ling stood up and said: "The golden dragon is the son of heaven, this is God's intention to make the lord the son of heaven!" ”

"Yes, please also ask the lord to ascend the throne and become the emperor!"

The rest of the people knelt down one after another and echoed, only Yang Hong had not taken action for a long time, and Yuan Shu also glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.

Everyone present, they all knew in their hearts that only by seizing the time to support Yuan Shu now, they would get more rewards at that time.

At this time, there was a sudden strange noise, and a soldier hurriedly ran and said, "Lord! Something big is going on out there! ”

"What's wrong?" Yuan Shu asked in surprise.

"You'd better go check it out!"

Yuan Shu was also quite surprised, and immediately led everyone to watch, only to see a big pit suddenly appear in the square, and inside was a golden dragon chair.

Yuan Shu and everyone looked at each other for a while, speechless in surprise.

Ji Ling suddenly knelt down at this moment and said respectfully: "Lord! That's what God means! Please also ascend to the throne as soon as possible! Don't live up to the will of God! ”

The rest of the people also knelt down at this moment, asking Yuan Shu to ascend the throne and become emperor, but Yang Hong still did not act.

Although Yan Xiang on the side kept pulling the corners of his clothes and hinting at him with his eyes, Yang Hong was still unmoved, and at this moment Yuan Shu already had murderous intentions in his heart.

Yuan Shu still said with an embarrassed face: "When the son is still here today, the world is in turmoil, how can I, Yuan Highway, be able to take on this great responsibility?" ”

At this time, a strategist stood up and said, "My lord, the so-called representative of the Han Dynasty, should be Tu Gaoye." Your surname Yuan comes from Chen, and Chen is a descendant of Shun. So, you can take on this responsibility! ”

Yuan Shu looked at the people with sincere faces, coughed lightly and said: "Now the power of the Liu family is already in decline, and the princes do not obey the orders of the imperial court, and there is no chaos in the four seas. ”

"I think that the four generations of my Yuan family are all important ministers in the court, and they have the highest prestige in the hearts of the people, and the people of the world are willing to belong to me."

"And God also intends to do this, to dream of me, and to give me this dragon chair, and I also intend not to go against the will of God, to conform to the will of the people of the world, I wonder if you still have any opinions?"

Everyone echoed, only Yang Hong didn't make a sound, Yan Xiang looked at Yang Hong at this moment, couldn't help sighing, and suddenly got up and said, "Lord! You must not be the emperor! ”

As soon as Yan Xiang said this, Yang Hong and Yuan Shu looked at him in disbelief, and even everyone was very surprised.

Yan Xiang also opened his mouth to advise: "In the past, the Zhou people and Houji founded the country, and to the King Wen of Zhou over the years, they have accumulated merits and great military achievements, and they occupy two of them in three parts of the world, but even so, they are still willing to be the courtiers of Yin Shang. ”

"Although the Ming Dynasty has a high reputation for several generations, it is not as famous as the Zhou people, and there is no power that occupies two of the worlds, and although the power of the Han family is declining today, it is not as brutal and unscrupulous as Yin Xun and has lost the hearts of the people."

Seeing this, Yang Hong couldn't bear to take responsibility for Yan Xiang alone, and also stood up and admonished: "Lord, although everyone in the princes today has the ambition to be the emperor, they all obey the edict of the Son of Heaven in name. ”

Listening to the words of Yang Hong and the others, Yuan Shu was almost angry, his face was bruised, and he couldn't wait to kill these two guys now, but if he killed these two guys, then there would really be no one to give advice for himself.

But I didn't sleep all night last night, I took people to dig holes, and rehearsed several times to achieve today's results, and I have been looking forward to the dream of becoming emperor for three years, how can I give up easily.

Seeing this, Ji Ling and the others began to accuse Yang Hong and the others, and once again persuaded Yuan Shu to be the emperor, and even cried, Yan Xiang looked at them, and couldn't help but have some contempt in his heart, and also admired their acting skills.

Yang Hong and the others wanted to say something more, but Yuan Shu shook his sleeves angrily and said coldly: "Those who talk too much will be killed." ”

Yang Hong and the others looked at Yuan Shu's murderous eyes, and they also knew that they could no longer be persuaded anymore, so they had to sigh helplessly.

So, Yuan Shu was dressed in a yellow robe and ascended the throne in Shouchun as the emperor.

Ji Ling, who had received the reward, found Yang Hong and Yan Xiang before setting out on the expedition, and asked a little puzzled: "Lord Yang, Lord Yan, why do you want to fight against the lord?" Even so, the Lord has given you a reward, so why do you suffer? ”

After Yang Hong and the two glanced at each other, Yang Hong said with a sad smile: "I'm afraid that you and I will become other people's prisoners." ”

As the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation of the emperor spread to all sides, all the princes in the world were shaken, especially Liu Bei, after hearing about it, he suddenly got up and scolded angrily: "Yuan Shu, this stupid pig!" Choosing to be the emperor at this time, isn't this self-destruction! It's really a dry bone in the grave! ”

Zhang Fei said in a suffrage: "That is, if even Yuan Shu can be called emperor, then my eldest brother can also be called emperor!" ”

"Third brother! Don't talk nonsense! Liu Bei reprimanded angrily, and couldn't help but have a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.
