Tian Yu left, he couldn't persuade a madman, especially a calm madman.

And Gongsun Zhan began to prepare for the title of emperor. Calling the emperor is not just a matter of one sentence, the matters that need to be prepared are very annoying, whether it is the arrangement of hundreds of officials or the preparation of various items for enthronement, the emperor's clothing, the renovation of the palace, etc., it takes a lot of time. But Gongsun Chan went south on the same day, obviously there was no time to slowly raise this kind of thing, so Gongsun Chan had to choose to keep everything simple, but it would take nearly a month to do so.

Gongsun Zhan's side was vigorously preparing to become the emperor, and Yuan Shao, who had been paying attention to him, soon learned the news and informed the princes of the Central Plains, and Yuan Shu soon got the news. I heard that Gongsun Chan wanted to be the emperor, and the princes of the world had different attitudes.

"Bang!" Yuan Shao, who was about to eat, directly knocked over all the dishes and cups that the maid in front of him had just served to the ground, and roared with a hideous face: "Gongsun old thief, how dare you be the emperor before so!" Someone will kill you! ”

The maid who delivered the meal was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground, her face trembling with fear, and she didn't dare to move at all.

After venting, Yuan Shao calmed down a little, and said to Xun Chen, who was standing quietly like a stone sculpture in the hall with an expressionless face: "Youruo, gather the generals and assemble for a meeting." ”

"No!" Xun Chen responded in a calm tone.

After he left, Yuan Shao walked out of the house with a gloomy face, preparing to go towards the council hall, and the surrounding maids and servants saw Yuan Shao's face, and knelt on both sides with their heads bowed, trembling and afraid to speak, for fear of angering Yuan Shao. When he walked to the door of the main hall, Yuan Shao suddenly punched the pillar of the hall, and said with hatred in his mouth: "Yuan Highway, there is your shadow behind this!" ”

Yuan Shao, who had a gloomy face, was the first to come to the main hall at this time, and sat directly on his main seat, thinking in his heart with a gloomy face.

Soon, the generals and strategists came one by one, and when they entered the door and saw Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the top of the main seat, they were all in their hearts, and they stood on both sides after saluting respectfully, and stood silent.

After everyone arrived, Yuan Shao finally spoke: "Gongsun Zan is called the emperor, what do you think?" ”

Xu You, who likes to be in the limelight the most, stood up directly and said with a smile: "Lord, this is a great joy, why is the lord sad?" ”

Yuan Shao said puzzled: "A happy thing? Gongsun Chan is called the emperor, how happy is it for me? ”

Xu You's face showed a smug expression, and he said with a bright face: "There are three people who are gratifying to the lord. First, Gongsun Chan is called the emperor, and the people of the world will inevitably regard it as a rebellion, and the lord's crusade against him will be more justifiable, which is the direction of righteousness, and the people of the world who are facing the Han will flock to help the lord and the thief. Second, Gongsun Chan is called the emperor, the princes of the world will rise up and attack him, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei regarded himself as a descendant of the Han family, and the two of them must be inseparable from Gongsun Zhan, and the lord can easily ally with him. Third, Gongsun Zhan's proclamation as emperor is a huge blow to the prestige of the Han family.

At the end of speaking, Xu Yu stopped talking, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were smug.

Yuan Shao, who was originally angry in his heart, instantly felt like drinking ice on a dog day when he heard this, and he was refreshed to his heart, and said with a smile: "Ziyuan is worthy of being my humerus, and he is really talented!" ”

Xu You instantly became proud when he heard this, and even glanced at Guo Tu and the others as if secretly provocative.

Guo Tu saw Xu You's villain's appearance, and the fire in his heart instantly appeared, and he stood up and said directly: "Lord, what Ziyuan said is untrue. Gongsun Zhan holds the jade seal of the country, and has the merit of the northern expedition to foreign races. The jade seal of the country is the symbol of the country, and it is the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven that is obtained, and now the Han Dynasty is not only burned by the fire, but even the Son of Heaven has been deposed and assassinated. Gongsun Zhan is now called the emperor, although he has braved the disapproval of the world, but he has also gained great prestige and benefits, and may even be regarded by some as inheriting the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't this ruin the great affairs of the lord? ”

Yuan Shao frowned slightly when he heard this: "What the public rule said is not unreasonable. ”

Xu You was not happy when he heard this, and stood up to argue with Guo Tu, and the two sides argued endlessly in the main hall, and then Lian Fengji and Xin Bi and others joined in, and the whole hall quarreled.

And Xun Chen and the generals have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and they all watched the two sides quarrel in two camps as if they were watching the excitement. Big ones such as Yan Liangwen and Chou even secretly squeezed their eyebrows and made bets on which side would win.

Yuan Shao, who was in the main seat, looked at the Wenchen under his command and quarreled again, and some of them couldn't argue and even started to move, their faces were pale. Once again, he regretted that he had raised so many strategists under his command. is resourceful but loves to raise soldiers, this is Yuan Shao.

"Quiet!" Yuan Shao finally couldn't help it, and shouted angrily: "I asked you to discuss countermeasures, not to quarrel." You are all my advisers, how can you quarrel again like the woman? ”

Xu You and the others quickly separated when they heard this, Xu You touched the bruises on his neck, and looked at Guo Tu hatefully. And Guo Tu also patted the footprints on his body, and glared back not to be outdone.

"Lord, the first thing we should do now is to tell the world about this matter, let the princes and scholars of the world know, confirm the identity of Gongsun Zan as a thief, and let the princes of the world be prepared." Xun Chen, who has been staying out of the matter and watching coldly, hit the nail on the head.

Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this: "Indeed, such a major event is not something that anyone can deal with, so quickly send someone to inform Liu Bei Cao Cao, as well as Gongsun Du." ”

Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu are allies, not to mention that Lu Bu is now a dry bone in the grave, and he may be defeated and killed at any time, while Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are incompatible, so Yuan Shao of these two parties does not plan to notify.

"No! So-and-so will go down and arrange. Xun Chen took the opportunity to retreat directly after responding, he didn't want to get involved in the political struggle of these strategists and become a thorn in their side.

"Gongsun Zhan is the emperor, how do you think so-and-so should be dealt with?" Yuan Shao asked.

"My lord, why don't we follow and become emperor?" Guo Tu suggested in a low voice: "Now that the Han Dynasty has existed in name only, today's son is not the son of the first emperor, but Liu Yu alone, and his name is not right. The fourth and third princes of the lord, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, sitting on the land of Hebei. Now that someone has made a bird with a head, when will the lord not be called the emperor at this time? You must know that the little emperor can be in Cao Cao's hands, and if the lord is not called the emperor, he will be restricted by it, and he will also be short of Gongsun Zhan. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he was quite moved. He has always been arrogant, and his first reaction after learning that Gongsun Chan was proclaimed emperor was angry at Gongsun Chan's preemptive title of emperor, and he confidently believed that he was the best candidate for the Son of Heaven and the first person to be the emperor, so he was indignant in his heart.

"My lord, don't listen to the nonsense of the public. Gongsun Zhan has taken the lead in becoming the emperor, and you will be a head shorter than the emperor now, but what is the point of picking up people's teeth and wisdom? It is the best policy to take this opportunity to inform the world and contact the princes of the world to attack Gongsun Zhan. What is the significance of the name of the Son of Heaven? When the lord destroys Gongsun Zan and becomes the lord of Hebei, who in the world must not be afraid of the lord? Xu Yu retorted as usual.

The two have almost become bitter rivals, and whatever one suggests, the other must refute. Soon, the two sides quarreled again, and gradually more and more people participated in it, and the palace began to perform all martial arts again.

Yuan Shao looked at the group of strategists under his command, sighed lightly, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of Xun Chen, hoping that he could give him some advice and help him make a decision, but found that Xun Chen had already taken the opportunity to retreat away from this struggle.

Faced with the two different opinions of his strategists, Yuan Shao hesitated again.
