The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

"Lu Bu, is he dead?"

After receiving the latest news from Xuzhou, Liu Han couldn't help but sigh: "I went round and round, but in the end I still didn't escape Baimen Tower."

Jia Xu couldn't help but worry: "My lord, Yuan Shu has occupied Yangzhou, part of Yuzhou, and now he has occupied half of Xuzhou. If..."

If Yuan Shu is allowed to continue to develop, even if he is unable to hold up the wall, he will cause a lot of trouble to Liu Han.

"Heh...it doesn't matter."

Liu Han's main point is this, "I guess Yuan Jiujiu is very swollen now."

"Wen He, it seems that Yuan Gongli's territory is not small, but how much does he actually control? Are the people under Yuan Shu all of the same mind?"

Certainly not!

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuan Shu's men are vaguely divided into three factions, one is the direct lineage of Yuzhou led by Yuan Shu, the other is Sun Jian's old tribe, now led by Sun Ce, and the last part is Liu Bei and some people from Xuzhou who have just joined.

"In Xuzhou, there will be no prefects or governors for now. They will be managed during wartime. Ziyang will be in charge of administration, Wenyuan will be in charge of military matters, and Fengxiao will be in charge."

"Here."

"Since Yuan Shu has conquered Pei, let Sun Li serve as the prime minister of Lu, and let Kong Rong go back. He knows what to do."

(Sun Li, courtesy name Deda, was born in Rongcheng County, Zhuojun County. When Sun Li was young, he was separated from his mother during turmoil in the countryside. At that time, Ma Tai, a native of Lai Township, rescued his mother, and mother and son were reunited. Sun Li transferred all his family property All the horses were given to them as a token of gratitude.

Later, Cao Cao attacked Youzhou and conquered Sun Li as Sikong's advisor. After that, Sun Li successively served as the governor of Shanyang, Pingyuan, Pingchang, and Langya. He also led the army to attack Soochow with the Grand Sima Cao Xiu.

After the Gaoping Ling Incident, Cao Shuang was executed by Sima Yi, and Sun Li was able to resume his duties as a central official and become Sili Xiaowei. Sun Li was able to establish prestige and achieve remarkable achievements in all the seven counties and five states where he served. Later, he moved to Sikong, was granted the title of Marquis of Daliting, and was granted the title of 100 households in the city. )
"Here."

Cheng Yu took the initiative to ask Ying: "Master, do you need me to come over?"

Lu State is different from other places. Taking action against the Kong family may cause a huge backlash among the gentry.

"No, Sun Li, don't rush to take action now, the time has not come yet."

"Here."

Wujun.

After several days of fighting, Sun Ce successfully gathered 10,000 troops after defeating Zuo Rong and Xue Li, leaving Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Sun Bi, and Wu Jing to stay in Danyang. The rest followed Sun Ce to attack Xu Gong of Wu County.

At night, the sky was dotted with stars and the bonfire flickered on the ground. Zhou Yu added firewood with one hand and stirred the fire with branches with the other hand. Sun Ce sat quietly aside, his expression not good-looking.

"Bo Fu, have you heard?"

"Ah."

Tan Ma just brought news from Jiangbei this morning, "Maybe we underestimated Yuan Shu's strength."

No one expected that Yuan Shu actually defeated Lu Bu, and it only took two months.

"We have to move faster."

"Let Zhu Zhi lead his army into Wu County from Qiantang."

"Well, Xu Gong is quite prestigious in Wu County. It would be better if he can be used by me."

The person who least expected Yuan Shu to develop so quickly was Sun Ce. He wanted to lead his troops away from Yuan Shu and have his own foundation. If Yuan Shu's power expanded further, and Sun Ce didn't have the strength to challenge him, how could he break away?

"Bo Fu, don't be discouraged. Although Yuan Shu is strong, didn't he fail to capture the entire territory of Xuzhou? Besides... Yuan Shu will be in front of us next, and we will face him first."

"Ah."

The next enemy Yuan Shu has to face is Liu Han. As the areas controlled by the two continue to border each other, a conflict is inevitable.

"That one is still as scary as ever."

It took Yuan Shu two months to capture Peng Chengguo and Xiapi Kingdom, while Liu Han took only three days to capture Langya Kingdom and Donghai Kingdom quietly.

Although Liu Han has been operating in Donghai Kingdom for a long time, this does not affect Sun Ce's admiration for Liu Han's speed.

In three days, he captured a whole county with almost no bloodshed. Zhou Yu also had to admit: "That's right."

But he did not believe that Liu Han could win as always. If he wanted to fight for the north, he had to establish a foothold in the south first. Moreover, the soil and water in the north were completely different from those in the south. Zhou Yu was confident that he would give him a try on this land in the future.

Jiujiang County.

At this moment, Yuan Shu had led his army back to Shouchun.

In Xuzhou, Yuan Shu was handed over to Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, and Chen Gong. If he and Chen and his son did not deal with each other, they would be closely monitored, forming a check and balance between the two sides.

As for Liu Bei, Yuan Shu still followed the previous agreement and assigned him to Liu Xun in Lujiang. Yuan Shu believed that without Liu Bei's military power, he would not be able to cause any big trouble with Liu Xun watching over him.

Next he had to face Liu Han. Yuan Shu racked his brains to think of ways he could fight Liu Han. After thinking about it, Yuan Shu looked at the jade seal on the table.

"With the jade seal in my hand, I own the world!"

Although Liu Han has half of the country in the north, he cannot command the heroes. The only way to command the heroes is to proclaim himself emperor!
Yuan Shu had this thought for a long time, and he had been suppressing it before. Now that he defeated Lu Bu, this thought was like a rolling stone on a high mountain. Once it started, he could never stop.

He felt that Long Xi was recruiting him, and he was only one step away from becoming the emperor!
"Come here! Summon Yuan Yin!"

"Here."

Yuan Shu now only dares to discuss this matter with his younger brother Yuan Yin.

After hearing this at first, Yuan Yin thought that his brother was crazy because he wanted to do such a treasonous thing!
But after listening to Yuan Shu's reasons and taking a closer look, I felt that it was feasible.

The two discussed carefully until late at night before Yuan Yin left the prefect's mansion.

Soon, a prophecy came out in Shouchun City: "The one who takes over the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao."

Yuan Shu summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

"Recently, a prophecy has been heard in Shouchun City. Have you heard of it?"

Everyone nodded to express that they had heard.

"Tu Gao is a high road. My word is highway. Could this sentence be talking about me?"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other. They knew that the lord had a jade seal in his hand, but they were shocked when they heard this. The lord was going to proclaim himself emperor!
Yuan Shu winked at Yuan Yin. Yuan Yin understood and stood up and said: "What the Lord said is true."

"In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was just a small pavilion chief in Si, but he ruled the world. Today, it has been four hundred years. His strength has been exhausted, and the whole world is boiling!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Shu immediately stood up: "Now the Liu family has declined, and chaos is spreading in the country. Our four generations of the Yuan family have been important ministers in the court, and the people are willing to submit to me. I want to uphold the will of God and comply with the people's will, and I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor now. I don't know. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other. I couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, Yan Xiang said: "No, Hou Ji accumulated merits in the past, and by the time of King Wen of Zhou, the world had two-thirds, and they still obeyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The lord's family background is indeed more noble than the world, but he is not as good as the Zhou family. Prosperity. Although the Han Dynasty is now humble, it is not as cruel as Shang Zhou. It is absolutely impossible at this time!"

Yuan Shu angrily said: "My general's surname of Yuan comes from Chen, and Chen is after Shun. The five emperors Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Yao, and Shun, the five elements have always been metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Da Shun is earth, Dahan is fire, and after fire is earth. Earth is used to carry fire. It is in line with its destiny. What's wrong?!"

Hearing this, all the officials secretly smacked their tongues, thinking that the master had his enlightenment today! What he said is very reasonable. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also said that his virtue of fire should win the world.

Also, this prophecy was not made up by Yuan Shu, but the "Spring and Autumn Prophecy", which once predicted that the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed by Hu Ye. Sure enough, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, brought an end to the huge Qin Empire.

And if Yuan Shu can clearly explain the prophecy of Dangtu Gao, is it true that Yuan's destiny lies with him?

The officials were shaken.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu struck while the iron was hot: "What the prophecy said was about me. It was determined thousands of years ago, so now the Han Dynasty has declined. The jade seal disappeared in Luoyang, and suddenly appeared thousands of miles away from me. Could it be God's will?" ? If you are not a king, you are going against the will of heaven. I have made up my mind. You should hurry up and prepare. On the auspicious day of the zodiac, you will be in the right position!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu had become determined after eating the weight, and was ready to kill anyone who didn't agree with him, everyone could only obey his orders. (End of chapter)
