"What you said is true!"

Although Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor this time, he was not yet drunk and dreaming. He still wanted to annex the entire Han Dynasty in one fell swoop and become the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu.

Nowadays, there are many princes in the world, and Lu Bu is indeed a rare help to him.

What's more, right after he proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce, who was far away in Wu County, actually turned around and drew a clear line with him.

They even accused him in letters.

This made Yuan Shu feel a little worse when he had just proclaimed himself emperor.

When Lu Bu arrived this time, Yuan Shu was naturally overjoyed for the first time.

Yuan Shu still vaguely remembers Lu Bu's bravery in front of Hulao Pass.

If Lu Bu can help him, he will be many times stronger than Sun Ce.

After all, is it just what Corporal Li Xian did?

Those wealthy families support Yuan Shao, don't they just think that the illegitimate son can do this kind of superficial work very well!

If Yuan Shao can do it, Yuan Shu can do it!

What's more, the current situation in the world has changed, and now he is the emperor of the Zhong family.

It’s not a bad idea to learn from the likes of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and treat virtuous people with courtesy!

Yuan Shu persuaded himself in his heart, then paused and looked up at the officials under his command again, and spoke.

"In that case, I will hold a banquet outside Shouchun City to talk to Lu Bu!"

On that day, at the time of Shen, the gates of Shouchun City were opened wide.

Yuan Shu and his officials went outside the city to invite Lu Bu for a talk.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu led Cao Xing and a group of guards and went straight to the tent that Yuan Shu had just built outside the city.

Not long after, Lu Bu and others arrived at the big tent.

"Wen Hou, stay safe!"

Outside the tent, Lu Bu arrived with his people, and Yuan Shu greeted Lu Bu with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Bu wanted to scold him.

Fortunately, Cao Xing gave him a hand, which allowed Lu Bu to tolerate it for the time being.

However, at this time, Lu Bu was not very polite to Yuan Shu.

In front of him was Yuan Shu, who was wearing a black imperial robe and twelve beaded crowns on his head, which was a perfect act of transgression.

This guy now completely regards himself as an emperor.

Lu Bu had just seen the emperor's guard of honor accompanying Yuan Shu from a distance.

"Brother Qiao is so impressive!"

Lu Bu was not angry, and did not take Yuan Shu's current emperor title seriously at all. In his opinion, Yuan Shu's current act of proclaiming himself emperor was completely mentally ill!

Even if it were him, Lu Bu, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Although Yuan Shu was a little unhappy that Lu Bu didn't address him respectfully, he didn't say much on the surface.

Now Lu Bu is a very good help to him, now is not the time to fall out.

"Can Wen Hou stay in Huainan temporarily?"

Yuan Shu issued an invitation. If Lu Bu could stay, it would be the best thing for him.

But just as he said these words, Lu Bu's face darkened in front of him and he directly refused.

"No!"

"This trip arrived in Shouchun, and Bu only came here to form an alliance with Brother Gu. To put it bluntly, it is really unwise for Brother Gu to proclaim himself emperor!"

After Lu Bu thought of his purpose, his tone became a little softer, and he also gave Yuan Shu some advice.

But now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, after experiencing the beauty of the title of emperor, how can he give up so easily?

Yuan Shu didn't take Lu Bu's advice to heart.

However, since Lu Bu came to form an alliance, they can still continue to cooperate.

"The Han Dynasty has no destiny. It is only natural for me to take over the destiny. Please don't say anything in advance!"

He replied to Lu Bu, Yuan Shu didn't listen to his advice at all.

At this moment, Lu Bu couldn't help but curse again.

If he hadn't needed Yuan Shu's help this time, he would have exploded on the spot.

Lu Bu's expression turned downward and he did not continue to speak.

Yuan Shu saw that Lu Bu was interested and continued to speak: "Since Fengxian doesn't plan to stay in Shouchun this time, where can he go?"

He had already known in advance that Lu Bu was going to bypass his area and attack Xuzhou directly. These words could be regarded as asking questions knowingly.

Lu Bu did not hesitate when he heard Yuan Shu's question and responded directly: "Bu plans to occupy the land of Xuzhou, and I need brother Lu's help this time!"

Lu Bu spoke bluntly, and Yuan Shu nodded subconsciously.

When he attacked Yanzhou before, he was defeated by Cao Cao and was chased all the way. Yuan Shu has always remembered this in his heart.

Since the land of Xuzhou was captured by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu hated Cao Cao even more.

It’s just that the previous attacks on Xuzhou have yielded nothing.

Now that Lu Bu intends to attack Xuzhou, this coincides with his idea.

Although Lu Bu has not recognized his title of emperor yet, Yuan Shu is not in a hurry about some things.

He glanced at Lu Bu and raised the corners of his mouth.

The Lu Bu in front of him is stronger than Sun Jian back then. Sun Jian had a cooperative relationship with him back then, but he later surrendered to him.

Lu Bu has now arrived from Bingzhou, and his army has already exhausted all the food and grass by the time they reach here.

Now Lu Bu has no choice.

He needs to cooperate with him, and he also needs someone to help him take the initiative to conquer the world.

Both of them have their own ideas.

Yuan Shu felt that as long as he could control Lu Bu's rear supplies, he would be like controlling Sun Jian.

When the time comes, Lu Bu will definitely surrender once he runs out of food and grass.

"This is an easy matter. Don't worry, please tell me what you need."

Yuan Shu opened his mouth and directly agreed to Lu Bu's request.

After hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel better.

"Then thank you, Brother Gu, for your help!"

With Yuan Shu helping with food and grass matters, Lü Bu could not help but feel more confident by capturing Xuzhou.

At this time, Lu Bu didn't even feel a little disgusted when he looked at Yuan Shu's face.

If the other party proclaims himself emperor, then he proclaims himself emperor. What does it have to do with him?

He doesn't surrender either.

And Yuan Shu can claim the title of emperor this time, it is because of the Yuan family's background. If it were anyone else, he might not have much confidence.

After achieving the goal, in the big tent outside Shouchun City, the guests and hosts were all enjoying themselves.

The next day.

Yuan Shu waved his hand and generously dispatched to Lu Bu a month's supply of food and grass for the 20,000 Xiliang army. By the way, he also sent his general Ji Ling and Lu Bu to send troops to Xuzhou together.

After receiving the food and grass, Lu Bu did not delay at all and led the army straight to Xuzhou.

……

When Lu Bu and Ji Ling each led their armies toward Xuzhou, they were in Xiapi of Xuzhou at the same time.

Xiahou Dun, who had just switched defenses with Cao Ren, was feeling angry.

As a general, no one is willing to take on the task of defending the city.

What's more, this is a time when the world is in chaos. For Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, this is the time to follow Cao Cao to pacify the world and make achievements.

However, because of Xi Yu, he made his brother Cao Cao unhappy, so that Cao Ren took the opportunity to change positions with him.

It wasn't until he arrived in Xuzhou that Xiahou Dun realized how boring defending a city was for a general.

He could simply take advantage of this opportunity to train.

However, Xiahou Dun felt that the newly recruited three thousand soldiers were not pleasing to his eyes.

Compared with the thousand brave soldiers who were snatched away from him, these new soldiers who have joined the camp are even more difficult to see.

However, since Xia Houyuan is still with him, this period of time can be considered reluctant.
