Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 208 Xuzhou Turmoil

In Xuzhou City, Chen Dao hurried into the State Shepherd's Mansion, and saluted Liu Bei who was sitting on the second seat.

Liu Bei took over Xuzhou Mu's position, but this was only Tao Qian's personal wish, and the imperial edict had not yet been conveyed.

Therefore, Liu Bei was just "temporarily taking over" the post of Xuzhou Mu in a name-calling manner, waiting for the imperial decree to arrive.

Seeing Chen Dao rushing in, Liu Bei smiled unhurriedly and said, "Uncle Zhi, what's the reason for rushing here?"

A very confident look, it seems that Liu Bei straightened his whole back after getting Xuzhou.

Chen Dao took a deep breath and said quickly, "My lord, Lv Bu mobilized troops in Pengcheng, directly captured Xiapi City in the southernmost part of Xuzhou, and took control of several nearby counties!"

"Xiapi is a strategically important place in Xuzhou. After passing Xiapi, there is a flat river, and Lu Bu controls five thousand wolf cavalry in Bingzhou."

"If Lu Bu wants to attack Xuzhou City...I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it at all, and we will definitely be taken down by troops in an instant."

Chen Dao's report shocked Liu Bei, but he just stared for a second, and immediately calmed down as much as possible.

Liu Bei smiled, pretending to be calm and said: "No problem! Lu Fengxian's Pengcheng was lent to him by Tao Shijun, and he will not directly attack Xuzhou City."

"Tao Shijun is still alive, if Lu Bu is really so ungrateful, we will definitely not lose to him."

"Let both Yide and Yunchang come over. Uncle Zhi, you and Yide are in the southernmost part of Xuzhou City, keeping an eye out for Lu Bu's movements."

Although Liu Bei didn't seem to be afraid of Lu Bu, he was really nervous and didn't know what to do.

After Chen Dao heard what the lord said, he immediately went down to dispatch troops and generals, preparing to lead troops south to check and balance Lu Bu.

Chen Deng came out from behind the screen. After taking a deep breath, he was very worried.

Liu Bei currently only has Chen Deng as his think tank. Seeing that Chen Deng seemed helpless, Liu Bei was even more at a loss.

Chen Deng pursed his lips and said, "My lord, Lu Bu and Chen Bing are in Xiapi City. This is him demonstrating to us."

"Lu Bu won't really fight with us, because he still needs Xuzhou's food and grass support. His intention is obvious, that is, to ask the lord to give him more food and grass."

"In the north of Xuzhou, Yuan Shao is watching, and in the south, Yuan Shu is ready to make a move. We can't provoke Lu Fengxian anymore!"

"As long as the fierce tiger like Lu Bu is fed, neither Cao Cao in Yanzhou nor Yuan Shu in Yangzhou is worth mentioning."

Chen Deng carefully analyzed Lu Bu's thoughts, and his words made Liu Bei heave a sigh of relief.

However, Liu Bei still frowned and said, "It's just that since Tao Shijun gave me the position of Xuzhou Mu, Han Wu stopped the war horse transaction with Xuzhou."

"There are not many horses in Xuzhou, and we only got more than [-] horses through trade before, which is far from enough."

"It's obvious that Han Wu wants to train Lu Bu to restrict me. This is not a good thing!"

Liu Bei stroked his beard, looking worried.

Chen Deng was also helpless about the war horse trade, after all, Han Wu had the absolute initiative in the trade.

at the same time
All counties and counties in Xuzhou began to panic, because Lu Bu's mobilization of troops jointly affected Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!
In Runan City, Yuan Shu stared at Chuan Guo Yuxi in the secret room, and sighed worriedly.

"Gentlemen, in the past, the emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was only the head of a pavilion on Sishang, but he controlled the world; now the great Han Dynasty has four hundred calendar years, and its vitality is exhausted, and the sea is full of turmoil."

"My family has four generations and three generations, and the common people belong to it; I follow the heavens and people, and I am in the ninth five. What do you think?"

In the secret room, Yuan Shao questioned his most trusted generals and advisers, intending to become emperor!
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, but only one of them frowned and took a step forward.

This person is Bo Yanxiang, the lord under Yuan Shu's command, and quickly persuaded him: "My lord, don't do it! Absolutely not!"

"In the past, King Wu of Zhou seized two-thirds of the world, but he didn't dare to blatantly claim to be orthodox, and he was still a courtier."

"Now my lord, as the head of the Yuan family, although his status is honorable, he is still not as prestigious as King Wu of Zhou."

"Furthermore, the imperial family of the Han Dynasty is not a brutal party like King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty. My lord must not claim the title of emperor rashly with just a jade seal!"

Yuan Shu was still hesitating at first, but after hearing Yan Xiang's words, he immediately flew into a rage.

Yuan Shu said angrily: "My surname Yuan comes from Chen. Chen is the successor of Emperor Shun, and now he has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, why can't he be called emperor?"

"No need to say much, choose an auspicious day, and I will use the jade seal to proclaim myself emperor! Afterwards, I will confer titles on all of you and announce it to the world!"

"After proclaiming the emperor, I will personally attack Xuzhou City first, and then take down the entire Yanzhou! The whole world in the Central Plains belongs to me!"

"Zhang Xun, I order you to lead the vanguard of the Seventh Route Army to go north to attack Xuzhou and bring Liu Bei's head back!"

Yuan Shao's eyes were red, and he glared at Yan Xiang, making it impossible for Yan Xiang to persuade him any more.

Yan Xiang knew his lord well, if he persuaded him now, he would be dragged out and beheaded in public.

The other officers and counselors were all overjoyed, because the lord proclaimed the emperor, and they would be able to confer titles and worship ministers.

Moreover, Yangzhou has abundant troops and abundant food and grass, so it is not afraid to mobilize troops from all directions!
"Long live my emperor!"

All the generals and counselors knelt down directly, showing their loyalty to Yuan Shu, and said compliments one after another.

Yan Xiang can only kneel down first, the matter has come to this point, he must find a way to save the savior.

Among these people, only one secretly smiled, and he was the eyeliner Cao Cao sent to Yuan Shu.

Three days later, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and the army of the Seven Routes went northward and entered Xuzhou!
General Zhang Xun of the first road is in the middle, Qiao Rui of the second road is on the left, general Chen Ji of the third road is on the right, deputy general of the fourth road is Lei Bo on the left, deputy general of the fifth road is Chen Lan on the right, general Han Xian of the sixth road is on the left, and general of the seventh road is on the left. General Liang Gang is on the right.

Yuan Shao's army in the rear, under the protection of Li Feng, Ji Ling, and Le Jiu, led an army of [-] to the north.

The Yangzhou Army claimed that 20 troops invaded Xuzhou, and this matter soon spread to Yanzhou and Jizhou!
In Hexiang Bieyuan, Han Wu laughed loudly after seeing the news, but he also sighed quietly.

Han Wu thought in his heart: "Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor seems to be much earlier than in history!"

"Now this guy has not caused Yangzhou to be riddled with scourges. At this time, proclaiming the emperor has completely inspired the morale of the soldiers under his command."

"In addition, Yuan Shu controls so many troops, it is enough for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to drink a pot together."

"It seems that I can't be idle now. Yuan Shu has usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Jizhou must also express his opinion!"

Han Wu waited for Guo Jia and Xun You to discuss the strategy, took a deep breath and took a sip of strong tea.
