Yuan Shu is still the emperor.

On the auspicious day that Fang Shi chose for him, he was still the emperor after all.

It's sudden, but many people take it for granted.

Yuan Shu called the heart of the emperor, which is already a well-known thing in Yangzhou.

Zhao Hui and Cao Cao also knew it for a long time after surgery.

Although it was a little later than Zhao Hui remembered.

But Yuan Shu was still too eager.

For Yuan Shu, there are pros and cons to being called emperor.

But the current Yuan Shu is obviously doing more harm than good.

He seems to be strong, but he is actually strong on the outside.

Lü Bu and Sun Ce are the basis on which Yuan Shu can guarantee stability after becoming emperor.

It's like the two pillars of Yuan Shu's palace.

But these two pillars are not controlled by Yuan Shu.

They could fall down at any time, suppressing Yuan Shu and preventing him from turning over.

And Yuan Shu could not guarantee the reliability of Sun Ce and Lu Bu, so he rashly proclaimed himself emperor.

He thought he could control Sun Ce, and he thought he had eaten Lu Bu.

But these two people don't have a good impression of Yuan Shu.

On the surface, he was willing to support Yuan Shu to become emperor, but in his heart he had other ideas.

Whether it was Lu Bu or Sun Ce, they were unwilling to be attached to Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu has his own ambitions, and he doesn't look down on a villain like Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce was forced to offer the jade seal of the kingdom at the beginning, and there was already a gap between him and Yuan Shu.

Over the years, for Yuan Shu's conquest of Yangzhou, what he got and what he paid never matched.

How could Sun Ce be willing to Yuan Shu.

Moreover, the death of his father Sun Jian also had a certain relationship with Yuan Shu.

Sun Jian's attack on Liu Biao was also on the orders of Yuan Shu.

Over the years, Sun Ce has been looking for an opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu.

But Yuan Shu was very wary of him, and he never dared to directly oppose Yuan Shu.

Now, though, the opportunity has finally arrived.

Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor, so naturally he also sent someone to ask Sun Ce's meaning.

At that time, Sun Ce also expressed his willingness to support Yuan Shu, and he would definitely become the sharpest knife in Yuan Shu's hands and sweep the world for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu naturally didn't have the words of the new Sun Ce.

But Sun Ce has been under his control all these years, and Yuan Shu thinks that Sun Ce can't turn over the waves.

He didn't know that over the years, in addition to the strength on the surface, Sun Ce had also been accumulating strength in secret.

What is missing is an opportunity.

If he openly rebelled against Yuan Shu, when the time came to face Yuan Shu's army, Sun Ce would naturally not be able to resist.

But now, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and at this time, Sun Ce stood up against Yuan Shu, which was on the side of righteousness.

And Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei of Xu Du could not be indifferent.

Because he had to face Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Yuan Shu had no time to care about Sun Ce behind him.

Sun Ce is likely to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor has attracted countless criticisms, and all princes have threatened to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu.

But overnight, Yuan Shu became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten.

But Yuan Shu's guess is not wrong, most people just shouted a few slogans, but there was no sign of sending troops.

Yuan Shu only needs to stare at Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and naturally he was also thoughtful, and he had his own analysis, not a hot head, not a decision made by patting his ass.

Before him, there were also people who called themselves emperors, but those people were just some bandits, and they were exterminated in an instant.

But Yuan Shu is different, he is a prince, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family.

The Han Dynasty is not thin on the Yuan family, and now the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, and Yuan Shu does not want to serve the country, but wants to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne.

This is the most unpopular point of Yuan Shu.

"Your Majesty, Sun Ce will report it."

Yuan Shu was discussing military affairs with Han Yin and others. The little eunuch came in with Sun Ce's recital.

"Bring it in."

Just by taking a look, Yuan Shu's face became very ugly.

"Sun Ce'er, how dare you deceive me."

Yuan Shu tore Sun Ce's recital and threw it on the ground, his face flushed.

Sun Ce's knife made Yuan Shu vomit blood.

Yuan Shu thought that it was the most unlikely place to have an accident, but now something happened.

Sun Ce's detachment made Yuan Shu's strength drop by at least three percent.

The strength has dropped by three percent, and then he has to face Sun Ce's attack, and at least he has to be dragged down by three percent.

This time and again, before he fought with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it was equivalent to Yuan Shu's strength that he had to remove Liucheng first.

Even if he had been exposed earlier if Sun Ce had been exposed, if Yuan Shu had not yet been crowned emperor.

Yuan Shu can now also send troops to suppress Sun Ce.

But now, Yuan Shu does not have this ability, and he still has to face Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the north.

"If it weren't for me, why would Sun Ce have today?"

Yuan Shu only felt tightness in his chest, and felt like he was going to vomit blood.

If he sends troops to recruit Sun Ce now, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely not give up such a good opportunity, and he will inevitably send troops on a large scale, and he will use his head to invite credit.

With Sun Ce's stab in the back, many of Yuan Shu's preparations before becoming emperor have been messed up.

Now his situation is very bad.

Lu Bu of Xuzhou, although he had promised to marry Yuan Shu before.

But that's because he wanted Yuan Shu's reinforcements.

After Yuan Shu helped him repel Cao Cao and Liu Bei's coalition forces, Lü Bu has been shirking his marriage with Yuan Shu.

And at that time, Lu Bu also told Yuan Shu that he was willing to support him to become emperor.

At that time, Yuan Shu was the emperor's mind, but only a few strategists around him knew.

Sun Ce betrayed, and Yuan Shu can only pin all his hopes on Lu Bu now.

As long as Lu Bu is still willing to follow him, he will not necessarily lose.

He still has the strength to fight.

If Sun Ce does not betray, with Yuan Shu's current strength, he can completely deal with Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu.

In Xiapi City, Lu Bu received a handwritten letter from Yuan Shu, and only let out a sneer.

The secret letter that Zhao Hui gave him at the beginning, Lu Bu still kept.

"Gongtai, everything is really as Zhao Hui said, Yuan Shu is really the emperor."

Zhao Hui's secret letter, Lu Bu also showed it to Chen Gong at the beginning.

When Lu Bu and Chen Gong saw the secret letter, they didn't believe that Yuan Shu would be the emperor.

It's just that when he was attacked by Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Lu Bu had no choice but to ask Yuan Shu for help according to what Zhao Hui said, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu, who had never sent troops, to really send troops.

And now, Yuan Shu is really the emperor.

But with Zhao Hui's secret letter, how could Lu Bu be in the same league as Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu now believes in Zhao Hui more and more.

Among all the people he has come into contact with, it is Zhao Hui who is the most pleasing to his eyes.

"I don't know how he saw it in the first place." Chen Gongdao.

At that time, Yuan Shu did not have the slightest sign of becoming emperor.

But Zhao Hui, who was far away in Youzhou, already knew it.

Chen Gong had not seen Zhao Hui yet, but he had heard this name from Lu Bu's mouth many times.

There are many names that I heard from Lu Bu's mouth, but this is the only one that Chen Gong heard, and Lu Bu had the meaning of admiration.

Other people's names, when they came out of Lu Bu's mouth, were either disdainful or resentful.

But Zhao Hui's name, every time it came out of Lu Bu's mouth, Chen Gong could feel that kind of heartfelt admiration.
