In the study room of the county mansion, Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu were sitting opposite each other.
During this period, Wang Can sent ministers with edicts on missions, and also promoted that Cao Cao was the murderer of Liu Xie. After the news came out, Xun Yu also knew the news. Xun Yu was very thoughtful and could naturally guess what was going on.
Although Xun Yu knew this, the emperor was already dead, so he had no choice but to keep it in his heart.
By now, Xun Yu found that there was no difference between Cao Cao and Wang Can.
Although Cao Cao was interested in the Han Dynasty, when the little emperor hindered his interests, Cao Cao was still able to get rid of him. This is the ruthlessness of Cao Cao.
Xun Yu smiled bitterly in his heart and could only accept it.
The little emperor is already dead, what else can he do?
After Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, he discussed with Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu how to defeat Wang Can.
Nowadays, Wang Can's territory is not only the land of Yizhou. After Cao Cao withdrew from Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass, Wang Can has occupied the land of Guanzhong, making Guanzhong and Yizhou connected. If Wang Can can pacify it again
After arriving in Xiliang, I have almost no fear of the princes in the world and no worries at all.
In view of this, Cao Cao began to want to eliminate Wang Can.
However, it is obvious that Cao Cao alone cannot attack Wang Can, and once Cao Cao devotes all his strength to attack Wang Can, other princes may take advantage of him. Therefore, Cao Cao must invite other princes. With the cooperation of other princes, Cao Cao can safely send troops.
Attack Wang Can and fight Wang Can.
After Cao Cao discussed with Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, they sent envoys to visit Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian. The purpose was to persuade all the princes to join forces to attack Wang Can and completely eliminate him.
…
Yangzhou, Shouchun.
State Shepherd's Mansion, in the hall.
Yuan Shu sat on the main seat and laughed loudly. After he learned the news of Liu Xie's death, he was very happy. Nowadays, the world has changed, and it is no longer the situation when Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong succeeded to the throne. In the past, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was not the previous generation.
The emperor's direct bloodline belonged to the prince surnamed Liu. Because the deceased emperor had no heirs, Liu Hong was able to inherit the throne.
Many years later, Liu Hong's two sons, Liu Bian and Liu Xie, died one after another. Liu Hong's bloodline was completely cut off and there was no successor. Maybe a prince named Liu could ascend the throne, but after the situation changed, it was completely different.
.
When Liu Hong ascended the throne, although there were many crises, there was no chaos, no princes who did not obey orders emerged, and there were many loyal ministers in the court, which were enough to support the situation.
After Liu Xie passed away, the big tree of the imperial court collapsed.
The princes in the world were all arrogant and did not obey orders. There were no heirs of Liu Xie in the court, so the princes could not recognize the princes who sat on the throne of the emperor.
In fact, because there are too many princes with the surname Liu, there are countless descendants of the surname Liu with titles. If you support Liu San as the emperor, I can support Liu Si as the emperor. In short, all the princes can support the emperor.
Any prince can set up a small court and claim that his emperor is the orthodox one.
Under such circumstances, the ambition in Yuan Shu's heart grew uncontrollably.
Historically, after Yuan Shu obtained the jade seal passed down to the country, he openly proclaimed himself emperor and competed with the court supported by Cao Cao.
For Yuan Shu, the Imperial Seal was just a fuse for proclaiming the emperor, and it was the reason that stimulated Yuan Shu to take action. However, Yuan Shu had already had the ambition to proclaim the emperor in his heart, so he openly proclaimed the emperor.
Because of Wang Can's arrival, the situation changed. Although Yuan Shu did not get the imperial seal, Yuan Shu's ambitions did not change. The young emperor Liu Xie died and the world was left without a master. As the saying goes, the world is inhabited by virtuous people. Yuan Shu
He thinks that he is the heir of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third Duke. Who in the world can be more virtuous than him?
Therefore, Yuan Shu had the idea of proclaiming himself emperor.
Yuan Shu sat firmly on the main seat, looked around at the people standing in the hall, and said: "The emperor passed away, and the whole world was in a state of uproar. I, the fourth generation of the Yuan family, have been welcomed by everyone. I want to obey the heavens and the people. I wish you all the best."
how?"
These words have already shown Yuan Shu's attitude.
After hearing this, the civil servants and generals under Yuan Shu whispered. Some wanted to be the heroes who supported the emperor, while others were worried that they would be attacked if they proclaimed the emperor first, so they were noisy and quarrelsome.
"Report!"
Just when Yuan Shu was about to get angry, urgent shouts came from outside the hall.
A soldier hurried in, knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped his fist and said, "Reporting to your lord, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, sent an envoy outside the mansion to ask for an audience with your lord."
Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He also received an edict from the imperial court to attack Cao Cao.
However, for Yuan Shu, this is all useless nonsense. He was beaten to a pulp by Cao Cao before, so how could he go to fight Cao Cao? Although Yuan Shu recuperated and had the strength to fight Cao Cao again, Yuan Shu wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
, there is no time to attack Cao Cao, and if he ascends the throne, he must gain Cao Cao's approval, let alone attack Cao Cao.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Shu had countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Shu ordered: "Please!"
The soldier went out to convey the order, and not long after, a young man in his early twenties walked in. The young man had a cold face and bright eyes. He walked to the hall, raised his hands to Yuan Shu and said: "Man Chong pays homage to Mr. Yuan!"
Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Man Chong, and said: "Man Chong, why did Cao Cao send you here?"
Man Chong stood upright, first looked around at the people sitting in the hall, and then said lightly: "Mr. Yuan, are the civil servants and generals in the hall trustworthy?"
One sentence made the civil servants and generals in the hall stare at Man Chong with wide eyes.
There was deep anger in his eyes.
However, Man Chong showed no fear and said: "My master and Mr. Yuan are discussing important matters. This is a secret and must not be leaked."
Yuan Shu's mind became active after hearing Man Chong's tone.
Cao Cao was in a difficult situation now, so it was definitely a good thing to send someone to look for him. With cold eyes, he glanced at the civil and military personnel in the hall one by one, and said: "What happened today is a secret in the military. If there is anyone who leaks it, it will be the Yi clan."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu looked at Man Chong and said with a smile: "Man Chong, you can rest assured."
Man Chong cupped his fists and said: "Mr. Yuan, my lord invites you to join forces to attack Wang Can. I wonder if Mr. Yuan has the courage?"
When Yuan Shu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Just kidding, Wang Can was so powerful that if he and Cao Cao attacked, they would probably be defeated.
Man Chong seemed to know what Yuan Shu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan. My lord said that Wang Can occupied Yizhou and captured Guanzhong, and has become the largest prince in the world. Therefore, my lord invited not only Mr. Yuan, but also Mr. Yuan.
There are also Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes who attack Wang Can together."
After a pause, Man Chong said again: "My lord has said that the emperor has passed away and the world has no master. Now is the time for dragons to rise together. As long as Wang Can is eliminated, then all the princes will hunt according to their own abilities.
The world."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded secretly.
As long as Wang Can is around, no one will be safe.
Only by eliminating Wang Can, the biggest figure, can we conquer the world with peace of mind. It is said that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Wang Can will be attacked even when he is lying down.
Yuan Shu put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Okay, okay, a good man can hunt the world. I promised Cao Cao that after defeating Wang Can, I will hunt the world again." After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he repeatedly ordered the civil and military officials in the hall to keep it secret, and then sent him away.
After removing these people, only a few confidants were left to discuss specific matters with Man Chong.
