Runan.

Yuan Shu summoned Chief Shi Yang Hong, Chief Secretary Yan Xiang, and relatives Yuan Huan to discuss military affairs.

“Cao A concealed his treachery. He pretended to promise me that he would conquer Xuzhou eastward, but he only tried to alienate Lu Bu.”

“Xu Xiao did not evacuate any of his troops in Yangzhou. Instead, he stationed a large number of troops in Jiujiang and Lujiang. Zhang Xun fought against Lujiang for several months, but failed to capture Lujiang.”

“Now Cao Cao falsely claimed that Xu Xiao had obtained the imperial seal and wanted me to attack Xuzhou!”

“This Cao Cao has always been treacherous, thinking that his humble words can make me believe his lies. Do you really think that I, Yuan Shu, am a fool?”

Yuan Shu was furious.

He didn’t know whether he blamed Zhang Xun for not being able to conquer Lujiang, or blaming Cao Cao for being treacherous.

Yan Xiang said:”Cao Cao is treacherous. Now that he has welcomed the emperor to Xuchang, he refuses to use troops easily. He just wants to mediate in Xuchang and let the snipe The clams are fighting each other, so he can reap the benefits! You must never agree to this! Yang Hong said:”

Having said that, if the imperial seal is really in Xu Xiao’s hands, conquering Xuzhou will be a hundred benefits without any harm!””

Yuan Shu actually missed the Jade Seal in his heart, but he was afraid of being plotted by Cao Cao, so he said he didn’t want to.

After hearing Yang Hong’s words, Yuan Shu suddenly had expectations:”Yang Changshi, please elaborate!

Yang Hong said:”Lord!” The reason why Cao Cao was running rampant in Xuchang, always in the name of Heaven, was because the Emperor was in Xuchang! But everyone in the world knows that the current emperor Liu Xie was in the wrong position and was supported by the traitor Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo had not killed the young emperor Liu Bian and the late emperor had no other sons, how could Liu Xie be allowed to continue to be emperor?”

“Because the young emperor Liu Bian died, we can only worship Liu Xie as emperor”

“However, what is surprising is that the imperial seal is not in Xuchang!”

“What does this mean?”

“This means that once the lord gets the imperial seal, he can proclaim any king named Liu the emperor!”

“The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have found the jade seal passed down from the country, and with the reputation of the lord, they support a king surnamed Liu as emperor. Who in the world dares to disobey?”

“At that time, the new emperor supported by the lord will be the orthodox emperor, and Liu Xie of Xuchang will be the false emperor!”

“Using the new emperor to defeat the false emperor, the lord will take the opportunity to destroy Cao Cao, and then seize Xuchang, Guanzhong and Hanoi. In this way, in this world, only the lord and Yuan Shao will confront each other from north to south!”

Yuan Shu felt very happy after hearing this.

As for supporting the king named Liu to proclaim the emperor, Yuan Shu didn’t listen at all. Yuan

Shu was thinking at this time.

If he got the imperial seal, could he directly proclaim himself the emperor? If he could proclaim himself the emperor, why should he do it again? Supporting a king named Liu!

Before Yuan Shu could make a decision, Yan Xiang retorted:”Yang Changshi, if my lord attacks Xuzhou, wouldn’t it be an advantage to Cao Cao? Cao Cao obviously wants to use the lord’s power to make the lord and Xu Xiao consume each other, but do you think Cao Cao will sit back and watch the lord destroy Xu Xiao?”

“He will definitely intervene in the battle at the critical moment and snatch the fruits of victory!”

Yang Hong said:”Master Yan’s book, this time, that time. I didn’t advise my lord to attack Xuzhou before, because it would be meaningless to attack Xuzhou. It would be better to go south to Yangzhou, annex Jingzhou, and advance northward step by step.”

“But it’s different now! As long as the imperial seal is there, the lord can support the new emperor, just like Cao Cao, who coerces the emperor to disobey him!”

“Therefore, Xuzhou must fight!”

“Not only must we fight, but we must fight as quickly as possible!”

“As for Yangzhou, the lord can write a letter to Cao Cao and ask him to issue an order to Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the name of the emperor, threatening Xu Xiao to seize the imperial seal, despise the court, and order him to send troops to Yangzhou! In this way, the Lord has nothing to worry about!”

Yan Xiang wanted to refute again, but didn’t know how to refute.

Yuan Shu could no longer listen to other opinions at this time.

What Yang Hong said was what Yuan Shu was thinking!

Yuan Shu laughed:”Yang Changshi’s words are reasonable, I guess Cao Cao was happy to give Liu Biao an order. If Xu Xiao wanted to be wary of Jingzhou, he would definitely not dare to let the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou attack my rear!”

Immediately,

Yuan Shu recalled Zhang Xun who was attacking Lujiang.

He appointed Zhang Xun as the Commander-in-Chief and commanded an army of more than 200,000 men. He divided the army into seven routes to conquer Xuzhou.

The first route Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xun attacked Xuzhou directly from the main road and commanded each route. Soldiers and horses, the second route general Qi Ji captured Xiaopei, the third route general Chen Ji captured Yidu, the fourth route captured Langya from his younger brother Yuan Yin, the fifth route general Qin Yi captured Jieshi, and the sixth route general Han Siam captured In Xiapi, the seventh general Yang Feng surrendered to take the dredging mountain.

He also asked the general Liu Xun to rescue the envoys on the road. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, led an army of 30,000. He asked Li Feng and He Le to serve as an envoy to assist the seven armies.

The news was sent back to Xuchang.

Cao Cao was overjoyed.

“Feng Xiao, Yuan Gongli finally couldn’t bear it anymore!”

“If he doesn’t attack Xuzhou, I have to worry that he will also want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers!”[]

“His Majesty asked Liu Biao to pass the decree, Xu Xiao seized the jade seal of Chuan Guo, and openly declared war on His Majesty, ordering him to attack Yangzhou as soon as possible! Guo

Jiadao said:”Liu Bei has arrived in Xuchang. How does Ming Gong plan to deal with it?””

Cao Cao pondered for a moment:”Although I don’t care about Liu Bei’s plot for the time being, if he is allowed to go to Jingzhou smoothly, he may be troubled by tigers. What good strategy can he use to be a filial piety? Guo

Jia smiled and said:”Ming Gong, since Xu Xiao has declared war on Ming Gong, if Ming Gong doesn’t send troops, won’t Xu Xiao be underestimated?” Why not make Liu Bei the governor of Xuzhou and ask him to cooperate with Yuan Shu to conquer Xuzhou!”

“Of course, before that, Liu Bei’s request must be met and he must meet the emperor!”

“Liu Bei wants the status of a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Ming Gong might as well give him a little more. For example, let Zongzheng Mansion check whether Liu Bei’s seniority is the emperor’s uncle or brother.”

“Xu Xiao’s declaration of war against Ming Gong was a declaration of war against the Emperor. If Liu Bei gained a false reputation, he could no longer refuse the Emperor’s will, right?”

Cao Cao thought about it carefully and couldn’t help laughing. Gong

“Wonderful!”

“No matter what Liu Bei’s reasons are for going to Jingzhou, as long as I don’t let him go to Jingzhou!”

“As for the reasons, Xu Xiao has already given enough reasons!”

“Now the Emperor still trusts me. Xu Xiao seizes the Imperial Seal and openly declares war. This is trampling on the Emperor’s majesty. As a clan member, Liu Bei always values his reputation. Even if he doesn’t want to, he definitely doesn’t dare to refuse!

Immediately,

Cao Cao said angrily:”It’s just that Xu Xiao declared war on me at this time. This makes all the strategies that Feng Xiao had formulated before come to nothing!””

Guo Jia calmly advised:”Ming Gong, now all the forces are plotting against each other. If one plan fails, just try another one. Since Liu Bei has been assigned to attack Xuzhou, Ming Gong can pretend to send a letter to Yuan Shu, and he will attack Xuzhou. city!

Cao Cao was a little confused:”Why should we attack Wancheng at this time?” Guo

Jia said with a smile:”This was originally Liu Bei’s strategy, to take Wancheng under the pretense, and then go south to Jingzhou. Since Ming Gong didn’t want Liu Bei to go to Jingzhou, he simply took Wancheng as well, completely cutting off Liu Bei’s idea of going to Jingzhou!””.
