Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and Lu Bu stabbed him in the back and seized Yanzhou.
With the help of Guo Jia and Li Yuanba, Cao Cao recovered Yanzhou.
Liu Bei kindly took Lu Bu in, but he lost Xuzhou.
What a wonderful show!
Liu Bei and Lu Bu repeatedly fought.
It was all within Guo Jia's calculations.
Cao Cao's army did not waste a single soldier and obtained a large territory.
And Liu Bei's loyalty!
Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu divided up Xuzhou.
Xun Yu and the others exclaimed.
What was strategy?
This was it!
Guo Jia's ability had once again refreshed their worldview.
Everyone was extremely fearful.
As long as Guo Jia was alive, they probably wouldn't need to come up with any schemes.
However, Cheng Yu refused to believe it. He said,
"Liu Bei is ambitious, he definitely isn't sincere in surrendering.”
"My lord, why don't you summon him to Xuchang…"
Cheng Yu only said half of his words, but he actually had the intention to kill.
Of course, Cao Cao did not like people like Liu Bei.
This guy went around seeking refuge and bluffing, relying on his identity as a Han clan relative to cheat food and drink.
But the problem was, could Liu Bei kill him?
Of course not.
At the very least, he couldn't kill them openly.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked.
Cheng Yu could not help but lower his head.
When Cao Cao asked this question, he had already lost.
"My lord, why don't you make Liu Bei the herdsman of Yuzhou and imprison him in Xuchang?”Guo Jia said.
Cao Cao agreed!
Xuchang was his base camp, so Liu Bei could not do anything to him.
As for Guo Jia, he continued to plot against Xu Prefecture!
His goal was not just one or two counties, but a larger territory.
In this way, he could better complete the teacher's task.
He continued to study in the Academy!
Guo Jia's ability had been greatly enhanced just by obtaining the Divination Heavenly Book.
Who knew how many masterpieces there were in the library pavilion?
Guo Jia's gaze immediately became fervent.
Ambition was growing.
However, God's plan was not as good as man's.
Just as Guo Jia was planning how to attack Lu Bu…
Yuan Shu's showy operation was here again!
This time, everyone was shocked.
In 197 AD, Yuan Shu, a feudal lord who had split up the Huainan region, obtained the royal family's treasure, the imperial jade seal.
He finally couldn't hold back his loneliness and declared himself emperor!
Why did Yuan Shu have such guts?
Because of the decline of the Han Dynasty!
After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he deposed the Young Emperor and supported Liu Xie, King of Chen Liu, as Emperor.
Even a filthy duke could depose an emperor.
What prestige did the Han Dynasty still have?
Yuan Shao had never acknowledged the status of Emperor Xian Liu Xie.
He even planned to support Liu Yu, the Overseer of Youzhou, as the Emperor.
Take a look.
Even Yuan Shao had made a move against the throne.
Yuan Shao was just a servant of the Yuan family in Runan. Yuan Shu had long looked down on him.
If Yuan Shao could change the emperor, why couldn't Yuan Shu, the son of the Di family, do the same?
Moreover, Yuan Shu still had the Imperial Jade Seal in his hands!
It was logical for him to ascend the throne and become emperor.
In addition, Yuan Shu had won many battles, and his heart swelled even more.
He chased Yangzhou Mu Liu Yao to the area south of the Yangtze River.
He then marched north and took down Xu Prefecture's Guangling Prefecture.
His territory had been expanded!
They had a large army and sufficient food and fodder.
All of these would satisfy Yuan Shu's opportunity to become the emperor!
Yuan Shu's subordinates also agreed with him.
This was because they were only county officials now.
If Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, they would become existences like the three dukes and nine ministers!
Who wouldn't be happy to be promoted and get rich?
However, Yuan Shu's main registrar, Yan Xiang, objected.
"King Wen of Zhou owns two-thirds of the land in the world and is even bowing down to Yinshang. The time for the lord to declare himself emperor has not come yet!”
"Moreover, although the Han Dynasty is small, it is not cruel.”
Yuan Shu was very unhappy.
Acting willfully!
He proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun!
The name was established.
The court appointed Jiujiang County as Huainan Yin.
Set up Gongqing Baiguan, suburban sacrifice to heaven and earth.
This completely broke Guo Jia's plan!
How could the imperial court not make any moves after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor?
The fishing boat pushed the imperial court to the cusp of the storm!
Everyone knew that Cao Cao had the final say in the Imperial Court.
" To serve the Son of Heaven and not be a subject."
If even Yuan Shu couldn't be dealt with, what would the prestige of the Imperial Court be?
Cao Cao would also lose face!
"Preposterous! Yuan Shu tricked me!" Cao Cao said bitterly.
Originally, he had planned to seize Xu Prefecture.
However, Yuan Shu actually stood up at this time and shouted,"Come and hit me!""If you don't hit me, you're a grandson!"
Who could take this?
He had never seen someone so suicidal.
Soon, the opportunity to attack Yuan Shu arrived.
Sun Ce was very happy when he heard that Yuan Shu had become the emperor. He could finally get rid of Yuan Shu completely.
Sun Ce was an upright person and did not want to bear the infamy.
Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, but he was a traitor.
How could Sun Ce continue to follow him?
Yuan Shu was so angry that he cursed at Sun Ce. If it wasn't for his subordinate Yang Hong's persuasion, he would have already led his troops to attack Sun Ce.
At this time, Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao give Yuan Shu an eyesore.
Therefore, the imperial court conferred Sun Ce the title of General of the Rebel Army and Marquis of Wu, and ordered him to lead the army to attack Yuan Shu and quell the rebellion.
Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and the others also received the orders from the Imperial Court.
Cao Cao planned to take this opportunity to weaken Liu Bei's military power!
Yuan Shu was dumbfounded and cursed at Cao Cao.
Although the imperial court had issued the order, no one took any action.
Only Liu Bei was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to make a name for himself, but he was defeated.
Yuan Shu became even more arrogant.
Under Guo Jia's suggestion, Cao Cao sent a letter to Lu Bu, asking him to attack Guangling Prefecture under Yuan Shu's rule.
Cao Cao's army would be responsible for attacking Runan!
The two armies responded from afar.
Lu Bu agreed.
In the same year, the imperial court conferred Cao Cao the title of Sikong and led the army to attack Yuan Shu!
The war of the century in the Eastern Han Dynasty began.
