Sima Fang said: "Yuan Shu conspired to usurp the Han Dynasty and acted in a rebellious manner. It can be said that the heavens were angry, the man and the gods were angry. He begged His Majesty to order the world and order the princes in the world to raise an army to attack!"

Sima Fang finished speaking, Situ Kongrong, Sikong Kong You, Shangshu Min Gong, Shizhong Chen Qun, Man Chong, Dong Zhao, Du Ji, Shima Lang, Wu Zhi, as well as the generals of the guard Xiahou Dun, Weiwei Cao Ren, Tingwei Cao Hong, Jinwu Cao Chun, Grand Secretary Xun Yu, Shaofu Xun You and other civil and military officials and generals also came out and knelt down to ask the court to raise an army to attack Yuan Shu.

Emperor Xian of Han turned his gaze and sat on the left, and asked in a harmonious voice: "I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?"

Cao Cao stood up, bowed to Emperor Xian, and said loudly: "What Sima Taichang said is very good. Your Majesty can issue an edict quickly to order the princes in the world to raise an army to attack."

Emperor Xian of Han said happily: "In this way, I will accept the report."

It's night.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and other confidant advisers, as well as clan generals such as Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun, all gathered in the prime minister's mansion to discuss the fight against Yuan Shu with Cao Cao. Although the court discussions during the day were fierce and fierce, all officials were angry, and they could raise troops from the world and participate in the righteous acts, the only thing that really determined the fate of the court was still the small group around Cao Cao.

"Hehe, Yuan Shu, this idiot, was still unable to resist the temptation of becoming an emperor after all." Cao Cao turned against the cold expression of the court's discussion, and seemed particularly happy at this time. Looking back at Liu Ye, "Zi Yang, have the envoys sent to Wujun and Xiapei returned?"

Liu Ye said respectfully: "Report to the Prime Minister, you have already returned."

Cao Cao said: "What do you say about Sun Jian and Lu Bu?"

Liu Ye said: "As long as the Prime Minister starts his army first, the two will follow him."

"Yeah!" Cao Cao stood up suddenly and said, "Yuan Shu has many soldiers and generals, and he has abundant food and grass. The original minister is far from the same. However, Yuan Shu lacks a general in command. The reason why the original minister dares not raise an army alone is that he is worried that the battle with Yuan Shu will become a protracted war of attrition. In this way, our army will be extremely unfavorable!"

After saying this, Cao Cao quickly walked to the map and pointed to the Yangzhou map and said loudly: "But if the support from the prime minister Lu Bu of Xiapei and the prefect of Wu County Sun Jian, the situation would be completely different! If Sun Jian raised an army, the two counties of Danyang and Kuaiji were the first to be affected and could no longer transport food and grass soldiers to Shouchun. Yuzhang was remote and thalassinated, which was not enough to worry about. In this way, Yuan Shu only used the manpower and material resources of the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang to fight against the chief minister and Lubu coalition forces. Yangzhou has a large area of ​​land and many people, and the advantage of sufficient soldiers and sufficient food will be gone. It is not a question of this victory or defeat."

"But there is someone, the lord must be on guard." As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia reminded him, "This person is the northwest horse butcher. The horse butcher may have taken advantage of the lord's army to attack Luoyang, and may even bypass Hulao Pass from the Yellow River waterway and take direct access to Xuchang!"

"Yes, the original person is also worried about this." Cao Cao's expression turned solemn and said worriedly, "The butcher Ma was cruel and cunning. His behavior cannot be guessed by ordinary people, and he must not be careless! Xuchang has literary men who sit in the formation, so he can be safe without worries. I don't know who can guard Luoyang if he thinks filial piety?"

"Meng De!" As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiahou Dun had already stood up and said quickly, "Luoyang will be handed over to someone!"

Cao Cao said: "If Yuan Rang defended Luoyang, wouldn't the original prime minister's army lack a vanguard?"

Xiahou Dun said: "Uh, this~~"

Guo Jia suddenly said, "Prime Minister, I have a choice in my heart, who can be a pioneer. In this way, the general of Yuan Rang can lead the army to guard Luoyang."

"Oh?" Cao Cao said happily, "Who can be a pioneer?"

Guo Jia said: "Did the Prime Minister forget Guan Yu?"

"Chang Yun?" Cao Cao slapped his forehead and said happily, "It's really damn, how can you forget about Chang Yun!"

Xia Pei.

In the past, the 23 Guandong princes attacked Ma Yue together, and Lu Bu suffered heavy losses. The remaining two thousand Bingzhou old subordinates lost almost all. They thought they would be swept out by the Xia Pei tribe, but they never thought that Chen Gong convinced the Xia Pei tribe with his words of 3 inches. Lu Bu was lucky in disguise, which instead eliminated the resentment of the Xuzhou tribe.

General's Mansion.

Lu Bu was discussing the uprising with military advisor Chen Gong and general Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao asked Chen Gong with some confusion: "Military advisor, for now, our army does not seem to have any advantage in sending troops to attack Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shu is defeated, the fertile land of Yangzhou will only be divided by Cao Cao and Sun Jian. With the current strength of the lord's lord's current strength, it is simply not enough to compete with Cao Cao and Sun Jian for Yangzhou."

"The purpose of the lord sending troops is not to fight for Yangzhou." Chen Gong smiled, "but to gain recognition from the court and gaining the reputation of supporting the Han Dynasty. Only in this way can the lord completely change his image in the minds of the gentry of Xuzhou. Only when Tao Qian is old can the lord take over Xuzhou naturally."

Zhang Liao was able to understand it at once and suddenly said, "In this way, I will understand it."

Lu Bu said: "Since that's the case, Wen Yuan will stay in the village of Pei. This general will personally lead the army to Shouchun."

Zhang Liao hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The last general will take the order."

Wu County, the prefect's office.

The prefect of Wu County, Sun Jian, was dispatching troops to condemn the generals and preparing to attack Danyang County.

Sun Jian pointed to the map and looked around the generals and said, "This general has agreed with Prime Minister and Lu Bu to jointly launch an army to attack Yuan Ni at the end of this month! Our army's first plan is to capture Wuhu, Shicheng, Moling, Jurong and other counties in the north of Danyang, and then use naval forces to block the Yangtze River waterways, completely cutting off the connection between Shouchun and the four counties in Jiangdong! Then go north and attack Shouchun with Prime Minister Cao and General Lu Bu."

In Sun Jian's combat plan, it is particularly important to use the navy to cut off the Yangtze River waterway. This move vaguely places the four counties of Jiangdong south of the Yangtze River into its own sphere of influence, and it is very likely that the northern rulers and princes will be allowed to interfere. In fact, this is also a tacit understanding between Cao Cao and Sun Jian!

The so-called battle against Yuan is actually a battle to divide Yuan Shu's territory. Yuan Shu was very out of date and gave Cao Cao and Sun Jian the two heroes the opportunity to attack! With the tacit understanding reached between Cao Cao and Sun Jian, the three counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang and Nanyang in Jiangbei belong to Cao Cao, and the three counties of Danyang, Kuaiji and Yuzhang in Jiangdong belong to Sun Jian.

"Now~~" Sun Jian's eyes turned to Xu Shu and said loudly, "Please make specific arrangements for military affairs."

Xu Shu happily took the order, stepped forward two steps in front of Sun Jian's case, and said loudly: "Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin stood side by side and responded in unison: "The last one will be there."

Xu Shu said: "Everyone leads the navy to block the water surface of the Yangtze River. If they encounter ships transporting soldiers and supplies from Jiangdong to Jiangbei, they will be detained and will be put into operation after the battle against Yuan is over."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin bowed with fists, turned around and left.

"Father!" Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's second generals had just left, and a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the hall. Sun Jian, Xu Shu and other generals looked at each other, but saw a flash of figure outside the hall. Sun Ce, wearing a fiery red battle robe, had already stepped straight in, stood at the steps and said to Sun Jian, "Father, this time the attack on Yuan Ni, please allow the child to participate."

Sun Jian's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment and turned his head to look at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu smiled slightly and said happily: "Sun Ce obeys the order."

When Sun Ce heard this, he was overjoyed and stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Shu, saying loudly: "The last one will be here."

Xu Shu said: "Lead three thousand elite soldiers as vanguards, and the camp will be drawn at the fifth update tomorrow. The soldiers will be sent out without any mistakes!"

Sun Ce clasped his fists and said, "The last general will take the order!"

Xu Shu said again: "Huang Gai obeys the order."

"The last one will be there."

"Leading five thousand troops out of Wucheng to the west, and capturing the Guzhen within three days. After capturing the Guzhen, soldiers can be ordered to leave the city at night and enter the city during the day, creating the illusion that the Wujun army gathered in the Guzhen."

"Affect the order."

"Sun Jing, Pan Zhang obeys the order."

"The last one will be there."

"With Sun Jing as the main general and Pan Zhang as the deputy general, he led 5,000 elite troops to set out from Yangxian. Qiao Zhuang went down the mountain to harass the mountain mob, and he quickly entered Wuhu. The military advisor had laid his inner support in Wuhu city. At that time, the inside and outside cooperated, and it was expected that things would be accomplished. After the capture of Wuhu, the two generals must hold on for ten days. Ten days later, the lord should personally lead the water and land army to come to meet him."

"Affect the order."

"The rest of the generals and their camps were all rectified and ready to go to war at any time."

"Abide by the order!"

Xu Shu's orders were settled, and all the generals took the order and left.

Shouchun, the back garden of the palace.

Yuan Shu thought the original back garden was too narrow, so he forcibly seized hundreds of acres of land in the north of Shouchun City, and almost half of Shouchun City was classified as the Royal Imperial Garden.

He also recruited tens of thousands of civilians from the Yin of Huainan to build palaces in the Royal Imperial Garden. He also adopted the words of Yinge Xiang in Huainan, and ordered the counties of Huainan, Nanyang, Lujiang, Danyang, Yuzhang, and Kuaiji to pay tribute to 3,000 beautiful girls to serve as palace maids. He also ordered the counties to pay tribute to rare treasures for Yuan Shu to enjoy.

Less than two months after ascending the throne, Yuan Shu made the whole of Yangzhou a mess, and the sky was angry and the people were resentful.

When Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Lu Bu and others sharpened their swords, Yuan Shu still didn't know that he was still immersed in the intoxication of the 1995. He ignored the government every day and only drank and had sex with concubines in the harem. There were also people who flattered him by Jin Shang, Ge Xiang, Yuan Yin and others, and only talked about the romance and moon every day.

Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, Chen Lan and other generals gradually became distant from Yuan Shu.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of March. After careful preparation, the two armies of Cao Cao and Lu Bu launched a sudden attack on Yuan Shu. Cheng Jun (Yuan Shu Army) rushed to fight and suffered consecutive defeats. Cao Cao and Lu Bu defeated the city and drove the villages all the way, and quickly attacked Huainan.

When the news reached Shouchun, Yuan Shu was panicked and hurriedly summoned the "civil and military officials" to discuss countermeasures.

In the magnificent Jinluan Hall, Yuan Shu was wearing a dragon robe and high up to the imperial case, and asked: "My dear friends, now the traitor Cao Cao, Lu Bu is leading 100,000 troops to attack. How should Chengguo defend against the enemy?"

When General Zhang Xun was about to leave the line, he saw that the Grand Marshal Jin Shang had already left the line and knelt on the Danban, and said loudly: "I have a solution to your Majesty."

Yuan Shu said happily: "My dear, please speak."

Jin Shang said respectfully: "The rebel Cao Cao was cunning and wise, and Lu Bu was extremely brave. Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, was not enough to resist. I think Your Majesty should issue an edict quickly and order Sun Jian to command Jiangdong to come to Shouchun to resist the enemy!"

"Wentai?" Yuan Shu said happily, "I have a Wentai, so why are you afraid of the traitor Cao Cao, Lu Bu, someone coming~~"

"Report~~" Before Yuan Shu could say the word "drafting an edict", a shrill sound of horns suddenly sounded outside the hall. Then, Jinwu Guard rushed to the hall and knelt on the ground and said quickly, "Your Majesty, Jiangdong urgently reported it!"

"Well, Jiangdong?" Yuan Shu's face changed and he said anxiously, "Tell me!"

Jinwu Guard gasped and said quickly: "The prefect of Wujun Sun Jian raised an army to rebel. The rebels have successively captured Wuhu. Jurong, several counties in the former dynasty, and the surface of the Yangtze River has been completely blocked by the rebels. Danyang is in a hurry! Danyang Prefect Liu Yao asked the court to condemn reinforcements quickly, and if the matter is late, the major event will be over."
Chapter completed!
