Yuan Shu boldly proclaimed himself emperor publicly and accused Liu Xie of being a false emperor. He did such bold things, and the princes couldn't even think of not responding.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie could not tolerate the actions of Yuan Shu, a traitor, and issued an edict to the world to attack Yuan Shu. Liu Xie summoned Cao Cao and demanded in sharp words that Cao Cao must deal with Yuan Shu.

Although Liu Xie is controlled by Cao Cao, he still has the authority as the emperor. Now the only person who can threaten Liu Xie's orthodox status as emperor is Liu Yu. If Liu Yu becomes emperor, Liu Xie really has nothing to do. Even if Liu Yu becomes emperor, Liu Xie

After abdicating the throne, the Han Dynasty would still be under control, but Yuan Shu was proclaiming the emperor and founding the country, and was preparing to change dynasties. If Yuan Shu continued to be powerful, Liu Xie might become the king of the country's subjugation.

The biggest card in Cao Cao's hand was the Emperor Liu Xie. Yuan Shu messed up the situation, and the situation became chaotic. Cao Cao was originally worried that Liu Yu would proclaim himself emperor after taking Hanzhong, and was afraid that he would lose his biggest card. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu had not yet claimed the throne.

Emperor, Yuan Shu jumped out first.

Cao Cao had to destroy Yuan Shu. He immediately issued a condemnation to the world for Yuan Shu's rebellious behavior and called on the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty to jointly raise troops to eradicate Yuan Shu, who was causing trouble to the world.

In fact, Cao Cao's biggest worry is not Yuan Shu, but Liu Yu. Cao Cao has always avoided war with Liu Yu, and the main reason is Liu Yu's powerful strength. If Liu Yu proclaims himself emperor at this time, Cao Cao will not be able to stop him.

, he has no way of estimating how the world situation will turn.

Cao Cao couldn't care so much now. Liu Yu said that he could not control whether he would become emperor or not. Cao Cao still hoped that Liu Yu would think more about the situation of the Han Dynasty and not do anything to embarrass Cao Cao in this chaotic time.

Besides Cao Cao, the first person to respond was Xuzhou Governor Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

After Liu Bei took office as the governor of Xuzhou, with the help of the Chen family and the Mi family, he made huge discoveries and actually controlled tens of thousands of troops. With enough strength, Liu Bei became stronger. For someone like Yuan Shu,

The traitor, as the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and the governor of Xuzhou, how could Liu Bei ignore this?

Liu Bei condemned Yuan Shu and took the lead in sending troops to attack Yuan Shu, becoming the first person to attack Yuan Shu.

Liu Biao, who had a grudge against Yuan Shu, was not to be outdone and sent out naval troops to constantly threaten Yuan Shu's rule in Nanyang.

Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor had little impact on Liu Zhang, but after all, he was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He only issued a strong condemnation in a strong tone, and nothing else happened to him.

Yuan Shu had long expected that this group of people would do this, and he confidently began to make arrangements, sending Ji Ling to challenge Liu Bei, and Chen Xun to deal with Liu Biao. Finally, he prepared 100,000 troops and horses, pretending to be 500,000, to attack Xuchang.

Yuan Shu felt that his plan was flawless, and he had the national jade seal in hand. He was destined to do so. As soon as his chariot arrived, local officials and people would definitely bow down and bow down to welcome him.

However, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, publicly denounced Yuan Shu, killed the officials sent by Yuan Shu, and declared that he was breaking away from Yuan Shu's rule.

Sun Ce was not just talking words, he was an action man and directly sent an army across the Yangtze River to attack Lujiang. Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang under Yuan Shu, was defeated by Sun Ce and surrendered directly to Sun Ce. Sun Ce stationed troops in Lujiang and sent envoys to contact Cao Cao and Liu Bei to prepare.

He wanted to join forces with them to destroy Yuan Shu. As for Liu Biao, Sun Ce did not contact him. Liu Biao and Sun Ce had a grudge against killing their father, but Sun Ce had always held a grudge. It was impossible for him to join forces with Liu Biao.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and went to Liu Xie to appoint Sun Ce as the governor of Yangzhou and inherit the title of his father Sun Jian. At the same time, in the name of the emperor Liu Xie, Cao Cao issued an edict to Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Sun Ce to jointly attack Yuan Shu and eradicate the Han rebels.

And announce it to the world.

Yuan Shu's territory was suddenly compressed to Jianghuai, and was attacked by enemies on all sides. Ji Ling's army confronted Liu Bei, Chen Xun and Liu Biao were circling in Nanyang, Sun Ce stabbed him in the back, and Cao Cao was the most powerful among them.

He has already sharpened his sword and is ready to kill.

Yuan Shao in the north had already announced his separation from Yuan Shu and did not dare to have anything to do with him, a rebel. At first, Yuan Shu was indifferent, as he and Yuan Shao had never dealt with each other.

Now Yuan Shu is unhappy. Looking at this situation, he seems to be isolated. This is a bit wrong. Didn't he plan to climb up and shout, the world will follow, and unite the world with one go? How come it turned into a crowd beating him?

Alone.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Yuan Shu did not have much worries and calmly dealt with the attacks of various princes.

Yuan Shu did not know how to govern the country and rule the army. His generals were either thieves or former Yellow Turban generals. Except for Ji Ling, who was a rare military general, the others were all incompetent. Compared to other princes,

Generals are a bit out of their depth.

This resulted in Yuan Shu's army often suffering losses in duels with the princes. Too many generals were killed on the spot. Among them, Sun Ce was killed the most and most ruthlessly. It can be seen that Sun Ce suffered at Yuan Shu's place.

How cowardly, now it is a public revenge for private revenge.

Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan hurriedly suggested to Yuan Shu that he should not fight with the princes in single combat. If this continues, Yuan Shu's army will have no generals to use.

Yuan Shu rarely listened to their advice and ordered his subordinates not to fight with the enemy. When there was a war, he did not need to talk about the rules of the battlefield and just pounced on the enemy with his army.

Yuan Shu can be regarded as the first to not fight generals in future wars.

However, the soldiers of the princes are also very strong. Even if they are replaced one by one, Yuan Shu will still suffer a loss. In order to solve this problem, Yuan Shu incorporated all the men in the territory from sixty to thirteen years old into the army, intending to take advantage of them.

Use naval tactics to overwhelm the armies of the princes.

Except for Liu Bei, a prince who values ​​benevolence and righteousness, others don't care at all whether they are the people or the army. As long as they pick up weapons and point them at them, they are the enemy, and those who deserve to be killed must be killed.

However, due to the large increase in the number of Yuan Shu's troops, it was very difficult for the princes to attack. It even happened that Liu Bei's troops were attacked by Ji Ling and suffered heavy losses. However, Cao Cao was blocked in Runan.

Needless to say, Liu Biao had been wandering along the Yangtze River, and he was the most unsatisfactory among the princes who attacked Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce was the closest to Shouchun, but he was personally conquered by Yuan Shu. One hundred thousand people swarmed towards Sun Ce in darkness. Sun Ce had no choice but to retreat to Lujiang.

After temporarily repelling the crusade of the princes, Yuan Shu began to become arrogant again. In front of him, the emperor, everyone was just a chicken or a dog.

Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun and continued to enjoy the life he should have as an emperor.
