Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Then Yuan Shu stubbornly did a major event that left the world dumbfounded.

He wants to proclaim himself emperor!

And put into action to start building the altar.It is not the practice of letting go after talking about it in the past two years.

Whoops, this scares the civil servants and generals who followed him.

Yuan Shu had such an idea two years ago, and it was his director Yan Xiang who dissuaded him at that time.

Yan Xiang said: "The people of Zhou had a country from their first ancestors, and they were accumulating meritorious deeds, manpower, material and financial resources until the time of King Wen. The people of Zhou had already occupied two points of the businessmen's three parts of the world, but they were still vassals to King Zhou of Shang. Although the Duke has been a high-ranking official for many generations, and the Duke also won the hearts of the people with his generosity, it is still not as prosperous as the Ji family. Moreover, the Han Dynasty was held hostage by thieves because the emperor was young. When the emperor is an adult, the world will be different. .”

Yan Xiang dismissed Yuan Shu's idea of ​​proclaiming himself emperor at that time.But this time, after the little emperor returned to the east, Yuan Shao was conferred the title of General and Cao Cao was conferred the title of Sikong.

It made Yuan Shu angry at the chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang.

"I don't want the little emperor to confer on me a general or Sima Sikong. I just want to be the emperor myself."

Listen to what this is called, it's just a child's prank.Not long after that time, someone made a divination for Yuan Shu, saying that he was destined to be an emperor, which also coincided with the divination for Yuan Shu when he was born.

Therefore, no one could persuade Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor.

Yuan Shu also had his own words for the civil and military people under his command:

"The Han Dynasty has been in decline for a long time. During the years I have been in Huainan, I appointed the governor of Yangzhou, the prefect of Jiujiang County, the prefect of Lujiang County, and even the prefect of Danyang County. The imperial court has no objection.

Looking at Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou and other places in the north, there have been years of wars, and Yanzhou and Xuzhou have changed hands several times.Yizhou and Jingzhou are also independent.Seventy-eighth of the world has been established early.And there is Liu Yao who is currently in Yuzhang, the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the Han court, and Sun Ce expelled him. Shouldn't the court send troops to attack Sun Ce or send someone to reprimand him and order him to give up Yangzhou?

Why did you appoint Sun Ce as the governor of Yangzhou!

It can be seen that the Han Dynasty has already existed in name only, and today's little emperor has no integrity, and is a foolish person who is at the mercy of powerful officials.The current state of the world is not far from when the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were fighting for hegemony. "

What Yuan Shu said seems quite reasonable.

But proclaiming himself emperor in such a hasty and angry manner seems to be a bit of a joke.Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan wanted to say some dissuading words, but Yuan Shu didn't want to listen anymore.

Alas, following such a lord is going to be forced to death.

Those who didn't believe that Yuan Shu could succeed in the end started to run out one after another, leaving Jianghuai in a new way.And Yuan Shu was immersed in the fact that he had become emperor and was more comfortable than Liu Xie, so he began to live a luxurious life with a wide harem.

Because of Yuan Shu's ascension to the throne, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu had to upgrade the reduced scope of friction to an expanded version in order to prove to the world that they did not support Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu originally put his troops in Xuzhou to fight Liu Bei, and he also won some counties and counties in Xuzhou after more than half a year of fighting.But during the stalemate between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, Liu Bei was bitten by Lu Bu, who was stationed in Xiaopei and bewitched by Yuan Shu, and took Xiapi, the Xinzhi office in Xuzhou, and captured Liu Bei's wives and concubines as well as the family members of Buqu.Liu Bei had to surrender to Lu Bu, and the master-slave relationship was reversed, and Liu Bei became attached to Lu Bu and stationed in Xiaopei.

Lu Bu who won Xuzhou, because Yuan Shu didn't send him food and grass immediately, thought that Yuan Shu was going back on his word and ruined him, so he immediately turned against Yuan Shu and proclaimed himself Xuzhou Mu.

The person who competed with Yuan Shu for Xuzhou changed from Liu Bei to Lu Bu.

Seeing Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor, Cao Cao immediately begged the little emperor for orders, and he wanted to take Yanzhou's soldiers to fight Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao also pulled his head out of the love battle with Gongsun Zan, and sent a letter to Yuan Shu, reminding him that this move violated the Yuan family's loyalty to the Han Dynasty.It is recommended that Yuan Shu "abdicate" immediately.

Following Mrs. Wu's instructions, Sun Ce sent someone to Shouchun to pick up his mother-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of his wife who was about to give birth.By the way, I sent Yuan Shu a righteous letter, reminding him that the act of "proclaiming emperor" was a betrayal of the Han royal family and the glory of the Yuan family's four generations and five princes.It is suggested that Yuan Shu quickly cancel the matter of enthronement, and treat it as an evil guest on the Ghost Festival.By the way, I gave myself Shouchun, the governor of Yangzhou, as soon as possible. My governor is not Liu Yao, and he will not be wronged in Qu'a. He must go to Shouchun to take office. .

These people co-operated to send such a message to Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shu very angry again.

Cao Cao wanted to fight Yuan Shu, but he was separated from Yuan Shu by Lu Bu.He hated Lu Bu so much that his teeth itch, so he put away his emotions at this time, and sent someone to negotiate with Lu Bu, and wanted to unite with Lu Bu to destroy the rebellious Yuan Shu who dared to call himself emperor.

Yuan Shu seemed to be trapped on all sides - but it was not the same in actual analysis.

Faced with the pressure from Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, after fighting for so many years, Yuan Shu didn't care.

Sun Cezhi gave him a letter, which was more like a formality, and continued to be busy recovering the large counties and counties in the east and south of Yangzhou that were not under Yuan Shu's control. Sun Ce had "no time" to fight with Yuan Shu.

Since Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he managed Jingzhou by himself without communicating with others, as if Jingzhou had become his own independent kingdom.

With Zhang Xiu, if Yuan Shu hadn't teased him a few years ago, he wouldn't be in the state of enmity now.

Liu Yan of Yizhou is separated from Yuan Shu in Jingzhou, so Liu Yan is also a self-serving master.

Yuan Shao occupied the four prefectures, but he was separated from Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Lu Bu in Xuzhou, so he only sent letters to persuade him.

As for Liangzhou being farther away, there was no need to consider it at all.

I have counted the tyrants all over the place, and there is no one else who wants to compete with me except Cao Cao.But does Cao Cao have the strength to fight against himself?

If you can unite with Lu Bu to resist Cao Cao, and when the above-mentioned princes occupying one side also follow their example and become emperors one after another, a situation of Warring States struggle for hegemony will be formed.

Yuan Shu's analysis of the situation in the world is somewhat reliable.The civil and military officials under his command were soon brainwashed by his theory.But Yuan Shu didn't wait for the princes from all over the world to proclaim themselves emperor one after another, but first waited for the escalating war between Lu Bu and him.

For Lu Bu who was approaching as a variable, Yuan Shu sent Yuan Yin as an envoy to propose marriage after careful consideration.He begged to marry Lu Bu's eldest daughter for his son, and asked Yuan Yin to tell Lu Bu his private analysis of the power of the Han princes.Lu Bu himself was first tempted by the possibility of becoming a king on his own, and after discussing with Chen Gong, he immediately agreed to marry Yuan Shu.

But Lu Bu has a very bad problem, his ears are soft, and he often makes decisions over and over again.

Lü Bu sent his daughters out, and Chen Gui from Xuzhou got the news that Lv Bu was marrying a daughter, so he hurried to dissuade him.

This Chen Gui was Yuan Shu's friend in the past, and the two knew each other very well.Yuan Shu recruited him to go to Jianghuai, but he refused to go because he objected to Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor. As a result, Yuan Shu detained his second son Chen Ying, hoping to use this to force Chen Gui to go... Yuan Shu should stumble, this Chen Gui is loyal to the Han Dynasty He was afraid that if Yuan Shu really succeeded in proclaiming himself emperor, then the Warring States hegemony would come true.

Chen Gui said to Lv Bu: "General, Mr. Cao went to Luoyang to welcome the emperor to assist the government. Only when the general and Mr. Cao put aside the past, can we go further and gain a more attention-grabbing and respected position. Now Mr. Cao and the court have said that they want to crusade against the rebels. If you marry Yuan Shu who is called the emperor, you will be a traitor. After Yuan Shu is punished by the court and the princes of the world, he will definitely not let you go. How can you carry Xuzhou with the power of half the state? What’s more, Yuan Shu is a villain who is used to going back on what he says, and he hasn’t fulfilled the military rations he promised you earlier, and you were blackmailed by him to marry your daughter. You can’t believe it.”

Lu Bu was told by Chen Gui that he had turned his back on his mind, and he also felt resentful towards Yuan Shu's dishonesty in front of him. He immediately led his troops to chase his daughter back.

Since Cao Cao wanted to form an alliance with Lu Bu to deal with Yuan Shu, he lobbied among the officials and the little emperor in Luoyang to win Lu Bu the title of General Zuo.After Lu Bu chased his daughter back, the envoy sent by the little emperor to appoint Lu Bu as the left general also arrived.

Therefore, with Chen Gui's clamor inside and Cao Cao's timely support outside, Yuan Shu's plan to form an alliance with Lu Bu failed in the end.

At this time, Sun Ce was throwing a banquet to welcome Zhou Yu who had been away for a long time.

Sun Ce, who was the governor of Yangzhou at the beginning, was busy sorting out the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou after taking over Yinshou.When he sent someone to pick up Da Qiao's mother and sister, he also sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhou Yu.

The general meaning is: "Gong Jin, come to Qu'a to help quickly. Yuan Shu called the emperor to invite the people of the world to attack him. What are you still doing under his command? How capable I am here There are few people, and a lot of good positions are waiting for you to choose.”

After Zhou Yu helped Sun Ce defeat Qu'e and drive Liu Yao away, it happened that Yuan Shu called Zhou Shang back to Shouchun, so Zhou Yu broke up with Sun Ce and followed.Yuan Shu found that Zhou Yu was quite talented, and he really valued him and wanted to use him more.Zhou Yu shirked it with reasons such as being young, and only asked to be the magistrate of Juchao County.

Now that Xiao Qiao is married, Sun Ce sent a letter to summon her, and Zhou Yu immediately asked for leave to go to Jiangdong by serving her mother-in-law to visit her eldest daughter who was about to give birth.If it were another person, Yuan Shu might become suspicious and kill him immediately——

During this period of time, many people ran away.

But Zhou Yu's mother-in-law is the wife of his capable confidant General Qiao Rui. She went to Qu'a to take care of her newly pregnant eldest daughter a few months ago, and came back after staying for more than a month.

Qiao Rui was leading the army outside, and Zhou Shang was still under his command. Yuan Shu let Zhou Yu go after thinking about it.

Zhou Yu took his newlywed wife, Xiao Qiao, to Shouchun to pick up his mother-in-law. What surprised him was that her mother-in-law packed up almost all her wealth, as if she didn't want to come back after leaving.

Zhou Yu persuaded cautiously, "Mother-in-law, it's better not to bring some things, so as not to arouse suspicion and make it impossible to get out of Shouchun."

Are you kidding me, this doesn't look like they used to watch their daughter stay for a while, anyone would suspect that they wanted to run away.Xiao Qiao also hurriedly persuaded her to persuade her mother to only bring necessary beloved things.

Zheng said reluctantly: "You, Aunt, sent someone to send a letter back, so that I will live with your sisters in the future. All of these are my beloved things, and they have been with me for many years."

Zhou Yu quickly agreed to stay with Bu Qu to help guard the bridge house, and only said that he would come back to Shouchun in the future, so he flattered his mother-in-law that the cloudy weather had changed and he set off with the couple.

After leaving Shouchun, the trilogy arranged by Zhou Yu joined the convoy halfway.It was only then that Mrs. Zheng discovered that all the family assets of the young son-in-law and his wife had been packed into a car and taken on the road.

Xiao Qiao smiled and persuaded her mother: "Mother, your utensils will follow in a few days."

The journey from Shouchun to Qu'e was not far, but Zhou Yu was always cautious.In the end, it was the young and strong tyrannical figures who led many soldiers and guarded the property, so they were safe and sound.

Out of the territory controlled by Yuan Shu, Zhou Yu soon saw the soldiers Sun Ce sent to meet him.This made Zhou Yu let go of the heart he had been carrying all along.The relationship between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce is tense, and it looks like they will fight at any time. .
