Yuan Shu coughed and said loudly: "The ancestor of the former Han Dynasty is only a pavilion chief, and there is the world, this calendar year is four hundred, the number of qi has been exhausted, the sea is boiling, my family is the fourth and third dukes, and now there is a jade seal from heaven to pass on the country, it is really the mandate of heaven, I obey the will of heaven, and I am in the position of the ninety-five, why do you think so!"

Yuan Shu's henchmen and generals already knew, and as soon as Yuan Shu's voice fell, they immediately bowed down one after another: "Long live Your Majesty!"

I saw one person stand up and shout: "Shut up!"

This person is not tall, but this voice is not small, and everyone was calmed down at once, and the hall was silent.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at him, but it was Chen Guoxiang Jin Shang.

I saw him stride to the center of the hall and shouted: "We have been eating Han Lu for generations, and we should be loyal to the Han court, and now Your Majesty is still here, and the bloodline of the Han Emperor is still alive, who are you, how dare you take the national weapons in vain! You Yuan were originally ministers of the Han Dynasty, and you enjoyed the grace to the fullest, how could you forget your ancestors and establish yourself as the emperor?"

Without waiting for Yuan Shu to answer, Yuan Shaozhi's eldest son Yuan Yao had already jumped out and reprimanded angrily: "He Liu Bang is just a pavilion chief who can be the emperor, but I am the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and I have the jade seal of the country, how can I not be called the emperor!"

Before the words fell, the long sword in his hand had already flown out, and the sword light flashed, and Jin Shangren's head fell to the ground.

The lobby was originally all Yuan's protégés or confidant generals, so naturally they had no opinions, even if they felt that something was wrong, with Jin Shang's experience, how could they dare to oppose it again.

There was silence in the lobby, and no one dared to come out again.

......

On the seven-foot high altar, embroidered flags are displayed, and the word "Chen" is fluttering and rolling in the wind.

(Yuan Shu said that the imperial name is not clear, and there are several theories, among which are the country names "Zhong", "Cheng", and "Chen", and "Chen" is used here.) ）

Civil and military officials gathered under the altar, and tens of thousands of people were waiting around the high altar.

Yuan Shu wore a crown on his head and wore a crown robe, and came proudly, burning incense to worship and proclaim: "The emperor's ministers, dare to use Xuanmu, and announce it to the emperor ......and God." ”

After the princes of the Nineteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu returned to Yangzhou to expand vigorously, and now occupies the land of Sizhou.

With these territories, Yuan Shu finally became the emperor after obtaining the jade seal of the country, established the Chen State, named Feng Shi as the queen, and appointed Yuan Yao as the prince of the East Palace, and the rest of the civil and military officials were also rewarded.

Yuan Shu's edict to claim the emperor spread all over the country, and the government and the opposition were shocked.

......

What should have happened in history has happened now, and it seems that the process has been accelerated because of Haobai.

Now the strongest should be Yuan Shao, who has just defeated Gongsun Chan and occupied the entire north.

Next came Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, who occupied the central region.

Yuan Shu is slightly stronger, and he owns the land of the four states, although the four states are not too big, but they are all large states with large populations.

However, although Cao Cao was sandwiched between Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Haobai, he is now coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

The last is Haobai, occupying Jingzhou, in fact, don't look at Jingzhou in the land of the four wars, in the middle position, but for now, in fact, Jingzhou belongs to the south, and Cao Cao is sandwiched in the middle.

At this time, several major forces were actually located in the north of Haobai, and the only one Yuan Shu, although the Yangzhou he occupied was in the east of Jingzhou, its main force was still in the north.

As for the rest, Jiaozhou is further south, and Yizhou is to the west, although these two states are large, but in fact the population is not large, and more are some ethnic minorities.

Jiaozhou, in particular, can be said to be an undeveloped place, and it has no value at all.

Xudu, Imperial Palace.

In the main hall, Dong Cheng, the national abbot and general of Wei, was standing beside Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

The always handsome and gentle little Tianzi was so angry that his face was flushed, he tore the edict of Yuan Shu to shreds, and scolded angrily: "Yuan Shu thief, how dare you deceive me! You are the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, and you have eaten Han Lu for generations, and you dare to rebel, and I should punish you all over the house!"

"Yuan Shu thief, although there are many troops under his command, but the good and the bad are mixed, at this time to call the emperor is tantamount to asking for self-destruction, it is a matter of time before the army is defeated and killed, this is an excuse for other princes to fight him, what am I afraid of. ”

"However, although the other princes will definitely attack Yuan Shu, this matter needs to be led by me. ”

Dong Cheng's expression was stunned, he thought for a while, and gradually understood what Liu Xie meant.

Liu Xie exuded a domineering and heroic spirit of being an emperor, and said with a smile: "Get pen and ink for me, I want to personally draft an edict to crusade against Yuan Shu's traitors!"

......

In the Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao's henchmen and soldiers were gathered, and they were discussing and expressing their opinions.

Yuan Shu rebelled, and the first to bear the brunt of the rebellion was naturally Cao Cao, who welcomed the Son of Heaven, and Cao Cao at this moment seemed to be even more angry than the Han Emperor Liu Xie.

Now Cao Cao occupies the Luoyang and Tongzhou regions, but he is not at all happy, and after welcoming the Son of Heaven back to Xudu, he fought with Lu Bu again, and finally succeeded in getting Tongzhou.

But Lü Bu was not completely wiped out, but occupied Xuzhou and continued to fight against him.

In addition, he has Yuan Shao in the north, Ma Teng in the northwest, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu in the east, and Haobai in the south, so he has to be on guard all the time, beware of others attacking him, and the Son of Heaven who was welcomed back by him did things from time to time, which made him anxious.

Now he only has a total of 200,000 troops in his hands, but he has to prevent Ma Teng in the northwest and Lu Bu in the east, and what makes him even more uneasy is Yuan Shao in the north.

Some of the people present thought that it was a good opportunity to expand their territory, in the name of maintaining the Han family, attacking Yuan Shu, and taking the opportunity to occupy Yuzhou, while others held their troops for the time being and waited until the situation stabilized before making a conquest.

The ministers and generals fought for the red face and red mouth, Cao Cao was anxious when he heard it, and he didn't feel that his brows were frowning deeply, and he didn't say a word.

After arguing for a long time, suddenly a personal soldier outside the hall hurriedly came and said urgently: "Qi Sikong, there are eunuchs outside the palace who have come to deliver the decree, please Sikong quickly leave the mansion to receive the decree." ”

Cao Cao was shocked, so he had to straighten out his clothes, lead the crowd to greet him, and put incense on the table to welcome the eunuch.

When the eunuch finished reading the decree, Cao Cao and the soldiers couldn't help but be stunned.

This is a holy decree that ordered troops to be sent to conquest of Yuan Shu, which was originally expected by everyone, but to everyone's surprise, it was not only one person who mentioned the conquest of Yuan Shu in the holy decree, but including all the princes, who rose up to attack it.

At the same time, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Lü Bu, Sun Jian, Haobai, etc., were ordered to go on the expedition, and almost all the princes were required to attack Yuan Shu.

Everyone was not surprised, and there were even some surprises, firstly, this could reduce the pressure on Cao Cao to fight against Yuan Shu, and secondly, since Lu Bu also had to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu, the pressure on the defense in the eastern direction would be much less.

However, to everyone's stunned, Yuan Shao, who was also ordered to go on the expedition at the same time, was also the third prince of the fourth world.

You must know that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both members of the Yuan family, and now Yuan Shu is the emperor, but it is a little inappropriate to ask Yuan Shao to also send troops.

And the problem is that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu do not have borders on their territory, and there is a Cao Cao in between, which is simply a big problem for Cao Cao.
