One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 444 Crusade against Yuan Shu
On the tenth day of September, Qin Yixiang, the governor of Bingzhou, first issued a message to attack Yuan Shu.

In the call to action, Qin Yi directly pointed out that Yuan Shu was a traitor, and he called on the princes loyal to the Han Dynasty to work together to punish Yuan Shu.Anyone who has friction in war can put aside the friction for the time being, stop the troops and cease fighting, and the first priority is to kill Yuan Shu's traitors.

After Qin Yi's message was released, the princes from all over the country responded quickly. First, Cao Cao, who had already reached Xiapi, stopped his troops and made a truce with Tao Qian. Tao Qian compensated Cao Cao with some grain and grass, and Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to Yanzhou.

Then, Yuan Tan, who was attacking Qingzhou, also stopped his attack on Qingzhou, consolidated the several territories he had captured with peace of mind, and reached a tacit truce agreement with Tian Kai of Qingzhou.

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou also stopped his attack on Bohai County, and temporarily stopped fighting with Yuan Shao to make peace.

Almost all the princes followed closely behind Qin Yi and issued a call to action against Yuan Shu.Even Yuan Shu's former allies, Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai, also despised Yuan Shu's rebellious act of arrogating himself as emperor, and unilaterally tore up the alliance agreement with Yuan Shu, expressing that they were incompatible with the traitor Yuan Shu.

Even the Chang'an court issued an edict calling on all the heroes in the world to kill Yuan Shu.However, the edict from the Chang'an court was issued some time later than Qin Yi's crusade against Yuan Shu. The credit for initiating the crusade against Yuan Shu easily fell to Qin Yi.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, which can be said to have committed "public anger".Today, although the princes of the world have long disobeyed the orders of the imperial court and defended their territories, they still conquer each other from time to time and compete for territory. The great Han has become a mess.However, the name of the Han Dynasty still exists, and all the princes in the world regard themselves as loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Even when they want to attack others, they will move out of the court and say that they are under imperial edict to fight against rebellion.

Although the Han Dynasty was divided into two imperial courts, these two emperors are the blood of the late emperor, so it's nothing more than two of them fighting for the world. What are you, Yuan Shu, who dare to proclaim himself emperor.Although, among the princes, there are many people who are thinking of taking the Han Dynasty and replacing them, but they are just thinking about it, and no one dares to be the leader like Yuan Shu.

Now it's good, Yuan Shu jumped out and became the leader. What I didn't say, in order to show that we are loyal ministers, we beat him.By the way, carve up Yuan Shu's territory and grab as much as you can.

It was out of this mentality that the princes responded to Qin Yi's call and waved their butcher's knives at Yuan Shu.

If it is said that during the battle against Dong Zhuo in the first year of Chuping, the princes responded to Cao Cao’s initiative and jointly launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo, most of them were for the sake of gaining fame, then this year the princes responded to Qin Yi’s initiative and jointly launched an army to attack Yuan Shu. , Fight for profit again.

There is such a large piece of land in Yuzhou, whoever grabs it first will own it.As a result, the princes near Yuzhou mobilized their troops and generals one after another and began to besiege Yuzhou.

In the southwest of Yuzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou was already at war with Yuan Shu. After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Biao stepped up his offensive against Runan County of Yuzhou.

In the northwest of Yuzhou, Zhang Ji and Lu Bu couldn't hold back their temper. They sent Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu each with [-] troops to attack Yingchuan County.

Cao Cao of Yanzhou sent Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun with [-] troops to attack Chen State in the north of Yuzhou.

Tao Qian of Xuzhou also sent a symbolic force of [-] troops to attack the Lu State in the northeast of Yuzhou; Chen Yu, the governor of Yangzhou, personally led [-] troops to attack the Pei State in the southeast of Yuzhou.

In just half a month, Yuzhou became surrounded by soldiers on all sides.This is just the sending of troops from the states and counties around Yuzhou. In addition, some princes are leading their troops to Yuzhou to get a share of the pie.

As the person who initiated the crusade against Yuan Shu, Qin Yi would naturally not just talk but not take action.Considering that Yuzhou was far away from Bingzhou and it was inconvenient to march, Qin Yi did not mobilize many troops to participate in the campaign against Yuan Shu.He only mobilized [-] cavalry, led by him, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and Li Ru, to Yuzhou.

This year, Li Ru was finally persuaded by Qin Yi to stop living in seclusion and become an official in Bingzhou.Qin Yi worshiped him as a book Cao, assisted Xi Zhicai in acting government affairs, and was a counselor in military affairs.This time when he sent troops to Yuzhou, Qin Yi took Li Ru with him and asked him to serve as the commander and military adviser of the army.Since Wei Yan joined Qin Yi last year, he has been conscientious and has shown good military skills.This time, Qin Yi deliberately trained Wei Yan's ability to lead the army in battle, so he was appointed as Zhang Liao's deputy to lead the army with Zhang Liao.

When Qin Yi sent troops to Yuzhou this time, he was going to make soy sauce.He knew that even if he did not send troops, Yuan Shu would not be able to withstand the gang fights of the surrounding princes in Yuzhou, and his destruction would be a matter of time.To put it bluntly, Qin Yi went to Yuzhou this time just to get some bargains. As for how much bargains he could get, that was not what Qin Yi could decide.

In addition, Qin Yi had an ulterior purpose, he wanted to snatch the emperor's seal from Yuan Shu.The year before last, Sun Ce exchanged the "Emperor's Seal" for the freedom of the Jiangdong army, and led Sun Jian's old troops back to Jiangdong to start a business.This year, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and the imperial edict he issued was the "Emperor's Seal".

One of Qin Yi's mission goals for the last level was to collect the Qi Tianzi's Seven Seals. He came to Yuzhou with an even bigger goal, which was to run towards the "Emperor's Seal" in Yuan Shu's hand.

However, this matter was too secretive, and Qin Yi could not tell it to anyone.If he was told, he would become a traitor and a traitor.

While leading his troops to leave Jinyang and go south, Qin Yi also sent someone to write a letter to Sun Ce in Jiangdong. He asked Sun Ce to take advantage of Yuan Shu's chance to become emperor to stand on his own and leave Yuan Shu's team.

Although Sun Ce led his troops back to Jiangdong, he still belonged to Yuan Shu's subordinates in name.This time, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in a rebellious manner, which gave Sun Ce a legitimate opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu and stand on his own.

After receiving Qin Yi's letter, Sun Ce discussed with his subordinates Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and his friend Zhou Yu, and decided to follow Qin Yi's arrangement to break away from Yuan Shu and join the crusade against Yuan Shu. team.

On September [-], Sun Ce expelled Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang appointed by Yuan Shu, and appointed himself the prefect of Danyang.Subsequently, Sun Ce issued a call to action against Yuan Shu, drawing a clear line with Yuan Shu.

At the same time, Sun Ce wrote to his two relatives, Wu Jing, the prefect of Guangling, and Sun Ben, the general who conquered and slaughtered, asking them to separate from Yuan Shu and join him.

Wu Jing is Sun Ce's uncle, and Sun Bi is Sun Ce's cousin.Both of these men used to follow Sun Jian.After Sun Jian died in battle, Wu Jing and Sun Bi were appointed as the prefect and captain of Guangling by Yuan Shu.

After receiving Sun Ce's letter, Wu Jing and Sun Ben immediately abandoned Yuan Shu and joined Sun Ce, causing Yuan Shu to lose Guangling, Jiangdong and other large areas of land, and his power was weakened.

And Sun Ce took the opportunity to acquire the land of Guangling and Danyang counties in Jiangdong, and became a prince of one side.
