At this point, Sun Jian placed most of Yuan's soldiers in the Yuzhang counties farthest from Huainan, and at the same time transferred many hundred generals from Yuan's soldiers away from his troops, and Sun Jian secretly made good friends with the generals of Yuan's army , donated gold and silk, treasures, and countless beauties to stabilize Yuan Jun. {friend upload update}

At this time, Yuan Shu didn't know that his [-] soldiers and horses had gradually become Sun Jian's soldiers and horses.He was only focused on proclaiming himself emperor, and he only believed in Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, and gradually alienated him from his old ministers.Sometimes some counselors came forward to impeach Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, but they were all reprimanded by Yuan Shu.Over time, no adviser dared to say that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were wrong.

And half a month ago, in Huaiyin City.

At this time, Ji Ling's troops had just withdrawn from Huaiyin.On a certain day, in the main hall of Huaiyin County Government.Chen Deng's expression was sullen, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yuanlong, what are you worrying about?"

Liu Bei's eyes were vicious, and when he saw Chen Deng's expression, he knew what was on his mind, so he immediately asked.

Chen Deng condensed his attention and got up, bowed and said.

"If it is as Junhou said, then Zhou Gongjin has such a superhuman resourcefulness, I think he will not be helpless against Huaiyin City. I also heard that the reason why Junhou was able to escape was because of the Sun Bofu. It is believed that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce deliberately instigated Ji Ling to withdraw the army. They did not want to help Yuan Shu win Xuzhou at all."

Liu Bei couldn't help but look shocked, and said hastily.

"Could it be that Yuanlong thinks that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are deliberately lurking beside Yuan Shu? Then they did it because of desire?!"

"Junhou, you said that Sun Bofu once gave you a secret letter. Have you read it?"

"Ah ♀ Duan rizi, Huaiyin was attacked by a powerful enemy, and I was only focused on fighting the enemy. If Yuanlong hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten it."

Liu Bei was reminded by Chen Deng that he remembered the secret letter, and hurriedly ordered people to go to his mansion to fetch the secret letter.After a while, the secret letter was fetched by the soldiers. After Liu Bei took the letter, he opened it hastily.

While reading the letter, Liu Bei's expression kept changing, first he frowned, then his expression sank again, and then he was pleasantly surprised again and again, and finally after reading it, he pondered again and put the letter down.

"An arrogant traitor, Yuan Gonglu actually has the heart to call himself emperor!"

Suddenly, Liu Bei yelled angrily, Chen Deng, Pan Feng, and Zhang Fei were all startled, all shocked by the shocking news.

"If Yuan Gonggong proclaims himself emperor, he will be besieged by the princes of the world! He is seeking his own destruction! However, although Yuan Gonggong is arrogant and conceited, he is not necessarily so stupid. Instigated by Sun Bofu!? These two are really vicious!"

How smart Chen Deng is, he immediately saw a lot. Shi also felt a little fear and jealousy towards Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

"However, even so, it is unlikely that Yuan Shu would risk the disapproval of the world and insist on proclaiming himself emperor. Unless he is absolutely sure. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce actually instigated Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor, so Yuan Shu must have thought that Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, would support him. {Update uploaded by a friend}But there is only Sun Jian alone, I am afraid it is not enough. Could it be, Junhou, that Sun Bofu is urging you to surrender to Yuan Shu in this letter and support him to become emperor!? "

After Chen Deng thought for a while, he made another shocking statement. His eyelids were jumping again and again. Chen Deng's resourcefulness was really terrifying. After a little analysis, he could see the matter very thoroughly.

"Just as Yuanlong expected. Then Sun Bofu persuaded me to lead Xuzhou civil and military forces to surrender to Yuan Gonglu!"

Chen Deng's eyes narrowed abruptly, sparks burst out in his eyes, and he asked anxiously again.

"I don't know what the prince wants to do? If the prince is willing to support Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will get half of Xuzhou again, and there will be all the talents under the prince's command to vote for him. Yuan Shu's ambitions will skyrocket, and he will become emperor in Huainan soon! And once he proclaims himself emperor, it will be the time for this person to perish!"

Although Chen Deng was asking Liu Bei what he meant, his tone seemed to be persuading Liu Bei to agree to the matter. Bei was silent for a while, his mind spinning, and he was quickly analyzing the pros and cons.Yuan Shu dominates the south of the Yangtze River, and in the north there are not only the mighty Cao Cao, but also Yuan Shao, the great northern hero who occupies the land of three states.There is no room for Liu Bei to intervene in the north. If he wants to expand his power, he can only be in the south of the world.And if Yuan Shu, the Jiangnan tiger, dies, he can take advantage of the situation to seize its territory and expand it.

Liu Bei suddenly grabbed the secret letter tightly with one hand, and shouted loudly with deep eyes.

"Come here, bring the white paper and state seal!"

As soon as Liu Bei said this, although he didn't express it, Chen Deng knew Liu Bei's choice.The anxiety on Chen Deng's face softened a little, and at the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart.

"Liu Xuande is a person who can listen to people's words, and he also trusts me. It's just that this person's foundation is too shallow. If he just became angry, he might join him. Do not take these people on adventures."

Perhaps for a talented person like Chen Deng who came from a wealthy family, the interests of the family will always come first.Unlike Xi Long, Chen Deng was born in a poor family, so he can freely choose the master he is willing to assist. <Inside the city, Sun Ce's mansion.

Sun Ce paced back and forth with a look of anxiety on his face.But Zhou Yu on the side was not in a hurry, with a smile on his face, playing the piano and music.The wonderful sound suddenly rose, penetrating people's hearts, Sun Ce couldn't stop, and the eagerness on his face gradually faded with the playing of the piano.

After the song, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, it's been almost a month. Why is Liu Xuande still missing?"

"Hehe. Don't be impatient, Bo Fu. If this happens, it will be of great benefit to Liu Xuande. He will definitely act according to our plan."

"Hey! Gongjin, you put it simply. I heard that Liu Xuande puts benevolence and righteousness first, and this matter will damage his reputation. I'm afraid he is a pedantic person who doesn't know how to understand!"

"Hehe. Bo Fu, you underestimate Liu Xuande too much. This person is only pretending to be benevolent and righteous, but he is actually hiding his ambition to swallow the sky."

"Oh, Gongjin, where did you get this affirmation?"

"In the eyes of Xuande, there are endless **♀ kinds of desires, which are very similar to that of Yuan Gonglu. It's just that Liu Xuande hides it deeper."

Zhou Yu has always been very accurate in seeing people, and Sun Ce fell silent after hearing this.

After a while, suddenly a guard from the mansion came to report that Yuan Shu had something urgent to discuss with him, and asked him to hurry there.

<The Great Hall. <A pavilion in the main hall.When Yuan Shu saw Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rushing over, he first had a happy face, then with a serious face, he shouted all the guards back.Soon, only Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu were left in the pavilion.

"Hahahaha. Great joy, great joy. Bo Fu and Gong Jin know that just now Liu Bei sent an envoy to send a secret letter, saying that he is willing to lead all the civil and military personnel in Xuzhou to surrender to me."

Zhou Yu had expected it a long time ago, but he still pretended to be extremely excited, and bowed.

"My lord's reputation is overwhelming, so Liu Xuande must have known that he was defeated, so he was willing to surrender in order to protect himself. Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord, you have won Xuzhou's civil and military affairs, and half of Xuzhou's land."

"Hahaha! If Gongjin and Bofu hadn't flooded Liu Xuande's [-] elite soldiers in the battle of Xuyi to show off our army's prestige, how could Liu Xuande have surrendered so easily. You and others have made great contributions this time, and I should judge the merits Reward!"

Yuan Shu was so happy that his eyes burst into laughter. Thanks to the courage of Sun Jianjun, the chaos in Yangzhou has been settled. At this time, with the addition of half of Xuzhou, his territory is almost all over the south of the world.

"I will serve under the lord's command. It is only natural for me to make suggestions for the lord. My lord, Liu Xuande's surrender is now the best time for the lord to proclaim himself emperor. The matter of proclaiming the emperor has been put on hold for a long time. I hope the lord will not want it." If you procrastinate any longer, it will cool down the hearts of my courtiers."

Yuan Shu's eyes flashed sharply. In fact, in Liu Bei's letter, he also mentioned supporting him to proclaim himself emperor, but Yuan Shu didn't mention it.And a few days ago, Yuan Shu received another secret letter from Sun Jian, again mentioning the matter of proclaiming himself emperor.

The letter further stated that Yuan's surname came from Chen.After Chen Nai Dashun.The Han is fire, and the Chen is earth.Using soil to carry fire is just in line with its destiny.

At the same time, in the south of the Yangtze River, there are folk prophecy rumors that those who replaced the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye.Yuan Shu's character is highway, which is just in response to his prophecy.

All kinds of omens seem to indicate that Yuan Shu will inherit the great fortune of heaven and should be the emperor.Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat, his blood spurted, and he finally made up his mind, slapped the armrest, stood up and shouted loudly.

"Liu Xuzhou and Sun Changsha all embraced me as emperor. Although I, Yuan Gonglu, was a minister of the Han Dynasty, the world is in chaos, the Han Dynasty is fatuous, and the people are all tortured by the flames of war. Riri is in the heat of the water. I really can't bear it, and now I inherit the way of heaven." Refers to, stand as the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan!"

Yuan Shu finally expressed his intention to establish the emperor, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were overjoyed, and they knelt down at the same time to worship Yuan Shu as the emperor.Yuan Shu watched the two kneel down in imperial ceremony, his blood boiled and he laughed out loud.

The next day, Yuan Shu summoned a group of civil and military men in front of the main hall, waved his big hands, and called him "ri" with a majestic gaze looking at the world.

"In the past, the emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was no more than the head of a pavilion on his side, but he ruled the world, and established the dynasty as the Han Dynasty. In the four hundred years of the present calendar, the Han Dynasty has continuously spawned evildoers, causing chaos in the world. , the world is full of turmoil. I belong to the Yuan family, four generations and three princes. Today, the people in Jiangnan belong to the will of the people. I want to follow the will of heaven and conform to the hearts of the people. I am in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. What do you think?"

As soon as Yuan Shu's words fell, the hall suddenly boiled like boiling water.All the civil and military forces changed their colors one after another, and the master of the pavilion walked out quickly, cupping his hands and admonishing him.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! In the past Zhou Dynasty Houji accumulated meritorious deeds. As for King Wen, he was divided into two-thirds of the world, and he still served Yin. Although the family of the Ming Dynasty was noble, it was not as prosperous as Zhou Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty was small, it was not as prosperous as Yin Zhou. Violence. This is absolutely not feasible. Otherwise, we will suffer disaster!" Yuan Shu stared and shouted angrily.

"My surname Yuan comes from Chen. Chen is the successor of Dashun. The earth bears the fire, which is in accordance with his fortune. There are also folk prophecies that those who replaced the Han should be Tu Gaoye. My character is highway, which is in accordance with its prophecy. And There is the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. If you don’t become the king, you will go against the sky! I have made up my mind, and those who talk too much will be cut!” Yuan Shu roared violently in the hall, and his words were like arrows, piercing the hearts of all civil and military personnel.Yuan Shu insisted on proclaiming himself emperor, and said that those who persuaded him would be killed, so no one dared to stop him.Yuan Shu then established the name Zhongshi, appointed officials of Taiwan Province and other officials, rode on dragon and phoenix chariots, worshiped the northern and southern suburbs, made Feng Fangnv the queen, and established the son as the East Palace.

The news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor soon spread throughout the world.During this period, Cao Cao had been secretly observing the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, but he did not expect the development of the situation to be like this.Later, Cao Cao received a secret message from Sun Jian. Sun Jian advised Cao Cao to march south, and he was willing to respond later.Soon afterwards, Liu Bei's secret came again, and he also persuaded Cao Cao to send troops to the south, and the Xuzhou army was willing to respond later.

After reading the two letters, Cao Cao fell into deep thought. Although Yuan Shu was arrogant, he was not so arrogant that he would rashly proclaim himself emperor when his power was not yet established.There must be an expert manipulating it.

Although Cao Cao didn't know who that tall man was, he was somewhat curious and appreciative of him.

"Hehe. I don't know if this expert is under the command of Liu Xuande or Sun Wentai? Such a peerless talent is really exciting."

Cao Cao smiled faintly, unconsciously, Guo Jia and Jia Xu followed Cao Cao's call, and just walked into the hall, when they saw Cao Cao laughing, they looked at each other unconsciously.

"Feng Xiao, Wen He, you are here. Come here, here are two letters. You read them first, and then analyze them with me."

Cao Cao waved to Guo Jia and Jia Xu with a smile on his face, Guo Jia and Jia Xu concentrated on it, every time Cao Cao smiled like this, something important happened, someone walked into Cao Cao, and took a letter one after another. People were reading the letter During this period, there were quite a few changes in their expressions, and then the two exchanged letters, and at the same time, they saw that the content of the two letters was almost the same, but the sender was different.

After the two of them read the two letters, Jia Xu first smiled at Guo Jia, as if asking Guo Jia to speak first.Guo Jia nodded slightly, and bowed his hands to Cao Cao.
