Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 268 Cao Cao's Ambition

The news of Liu He's taking concubines spread like the wind throughout the twelve states of the world, and the news that Liu He's one wife and six concubines were all peerless and beautiful, also spread throughout China's Shenzhou, which is even more so. aroused great repercussions.

Yuan Shu was the first to react strongly.

"What? You said Qiao Rui has two beautiful daughters? Damn it! Why didn't this guy hide it when he was under my command? It seems that this old boy had the intention of joining the Liu family from the beginning. That’s why I concealed the fact that I have a pair of daughters. Hey, I treated him well, but he treated me like this. If one day I catch this old boy, I will cut him into pieces. No, I will catch him first. Two daughters, play with them wantonly in front of him, wait until they have played with them enough, then reward the two daughters to the soldiers, and then cut the old boy into pieces!"

Afterwards, Yuan Shu thought to himself: "This Qiao Rui has no discernment, and he chose someone like Liu He, but what is Liu He? And I, Yuan Shu, have the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in my hand, and it belongs to the destiny, and I will walk out of that one soon. If your two daughters follow me, they will be concubines, but now they are just ordinary with Liu He. Concubine, you have no reputation and status, I believe you will regret it in the future!"

At this time, because of Sun Ce's continuous victories in Jiangdong, Yuan Shu took it for granted that Sun Ce was his subordinate, and thought that he had already occupied one-third of the world's territory, and he could completely fight against Liu He. As long as he became emperor, there would be more Many forces come to pledge their allegiance, and when the time comes, he will lead the army

Not long after, Yuan Shu disregarded the dissuasion of counselor Yan Xiang, proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, named the country Zhongshi, set up a hundred officials and ministers, sacrificed it in the southern suburbs, and declared it to the world.

The news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor immediately aroused the wrath of the princes all over the world. Sun Ce immediately declared his independence from Yuan Shu, and expelled Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang appointed by Yuan Shu, and persuaded Wu Jing, the prefect of Guangling, and Sun Ben, the general, to surrender. This made Yuan Shu lose the land of Jiangdong.Not only that, Sun Ce also ordered the army to attack Yuan Shu's Lujiang River.

In addition, even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao declared that Yuan Shu was a rebel, and assembled troops on the border to attack Yuan Shu.

However, Yuan Shu overestimated his own strength and decided to preemptively attack Cao Cao's Chen County, but was defeated by Cao Cao.

And Liu Bei, who was originally opposed to Yuan Shu, used this as an excuse to lead an army to crusade against Huainan. Even Lu Bu, who had agreed to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, led his army to attack Yuan Shu's Jiujiang County from Peiguo, and beheaded Yuan Shu's general Yu Yu. wade.

At the same time, Liu He, who Yuan Shu hated the most, also ordered Zhang Xiu, the prefect of Nanyang, to join Liu Biao's Huang Zu army to prepare to attack Shouchun. Now Yuan Shu can be said to be enemies on all sides, isolated and helpless.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Shu's front-line soldiers suffered successive defeats, their morale was low, and their morale was depressed. In just three months, they lost three counties, Lujiang, Runan, and Guangling, and even his "Huainan" "Yin" is now under siege from all sides.

What worried Yuan Shu even more was that his two generals, Lei Bo and Chen Lan, defected at this critical moment, plundered his food and grass, and fled to Qianshan.

The news of Yuan Shu's defeat reached Xudu. When Cao Cao heard the news, he was not only displeased, but full of melancholy, and said to his counselor Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, Liu Bei saw through your plan of the two tigers competing for food, and offered me a gift again." The strategy of driving away tigers and wolves, now it seems that Lu Bu and Liu Bei jointly attacked Yuan Shu. Once Yuan Shu is defeated, it is estimated that they will join forces to plot my capital. Now it seems that your strategy of driving away tigers and wolves It even failed."

Xun Yu said with a smile, "That's not necessarily the case. Lu Bu is capricious and only seeks profit. The reason why he didn't take action against Liu Bei now is because he didn't find an opportunity. Once he found an opportunity, I believe he would fight back immediately. Now Liu Bei led Guan Yu to attack Yuan Shu, and only Zhang Fei was in command of Xiapi. Zhang Fei is violent and likes to whip his soldiers, so I think the situation in Xuzhou will change soon."

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Ren, a general from the Ministry, barged in and said loudly, "My lord, it's not good. The last general heard that when Zhang Fei, the guard of Xiapi, was drunk, he agreed to the rebel general's request." At Cao Bao's request, Xingye led the army to attack Xiapi. Because Xiapi had an internal response, Xuzhou was acquired by Lu Bu. Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the news, and retreated overnight. After returning to Xuzhou, he surrendered to Lu Bu. In this way, Liu Bei and Lu Bu Taken together, Xuzhou will be in trouble."

When Cao Cao heard the words, he immediately said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo has a clever plan, something has happened in Xuzhou, haha, next we need to contact Liu Bei to map Lu Bu together."

Then Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord, you are about to get Xuzhou."

Cao Cao smiled when he heard the words, and then said: "I have no other plans in my life. I wish to sweep the world and become a hegemony, and I wish to win the beauties from Liu He's mansion and put them in the mansion. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

"It turns out that my lord is also interested in those beauties in Liu He's mansion." Cao Ren was a little specious about the conversation between Cao Cao and Xun Yu, but he heard Cao Cao's words clearly, so he leaned forward and said with a smile: "Is this not enough?" Easy? My lord only needs to call Liu and his wives and concubines to Luoyang to meet him in the name of the Son of Heaven, so Liu He has no choice but to follow."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think? Who is Liu He? How can a generation of heroes take the emperor seriously? Besides, who is the emperor? How can he make such a decision? If If you really do this, wouldn’t you become a foolish ruler? Then what’s the use of protecting such a foolish ruler? Besides, Liu He’s father, Liu Yu, is still in court. Do you think he would agree to such a thing? Therefore, the matter of beauties has to be taken slowly. It is just to take advantage of Liu and this boy, and let him suffer so many beautiful beauties in the world for nothing. But I believe that one day, I will lead an army of millions to Chang'an, Take Liu He's city, cut off his head, and then laugh at those beauties in his house..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's face revealed a thick obscene color, and his human nature was fully exposed at this time.

Seeing this, Xun Yu couldn't help but shook his head. His lord was good at everything, but he liked to search for beautiful women everywhere, and his favorites were people and wives. Although this was harmless, Xun Yu always felt that his lord would do it for him in the future. I was at a loss for this matter.However, no matter how Xun Yu persuaded him, Cao Cao never really changed his mind. Instead, he took it as a hobby.
