In February 197 AD, Yuan Shu abolished the Southern Emperor, proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, called the Zhong family in the world, placed the ministers and hundreds of officials, and then sealed the heroes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The princes condemned it in unison, and even Liu Bei, who had always been an ally, also condemned it.

Yuan Shu was furious, and gave his subordinates all the official positions of rewarding the princes, and personally led a large army to attack the state of Chen.

Yuan Shu set up the son of King Chen as the Southern Emperor, Chen Guoshi's chicken dog ascended to heaven, Yuan Shu can be said to have obtained Chen State without much effort, although Cao Cao won the land of Chen State.

However, under the pressure of Yuan Shu, the Chen Guoshi clan sacrificed the city one after another after the arrival of Yuan Shu's army, so that most of the Chen State belonged to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was in the limelight.

Immediately, Yuan Shu asked for Lü Bu's daughter for his son Yuan Yao, and invited Lü Bu to fight Cao Cao together, promising that half of the land of Yanzhou would be returned to Lü Bu after the matter was completed.

Yang Hong took Yuan Shu's holy decree and a large amount of gold and silver goods to Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was in need of upgrading the armor and equipment of the Xuzhou Army, and he was in dire need of money and goods, so he had to agree.

The mastermind Chen Qi dissuaded him, and his henchman Chen Gong also dissuaded him.

Lu Bu was helpless, accepted the goods brought by Yang Hong, and promised to marry his daughter when she grew up.

With such a clumsy plan, Yuan Shu couldn't understand it, and scolded Lu Bu for being greedy for money, lustful, and ungrateful.

Cao Cao saw Xu Rong of the sour jujube, and there was no sign of Henan Yu Ban, so he immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan to sit in Chen Liu to fight against Xu Rong, Cao Ren to sit in Dongjun to prevent Zang Hong, and personally led 20,000 elites south to Chen State.

Yuan Shu had 100,000 troops in Chen State, and in the spring, the grain and grass were not enough, so Yuan Shu ordered the generals Qiao Rui, Liang Gang, Le Zhuo, Li Feng, Yan Ming, etc. to plunder the counties of Chen State.

As soon as Cao Cao entered the state of Chen, he defeated Li Feng, beheaded Li Feng, and issued a notice to Anmin.

Cao Cao did not slaughter the city of Xuzhou, but instead agreed with the people in three chapters, and Chen Guoshi and the people surrendered one after another.

Le Zuo, Liang Gang and others will be expelled.

Yuan Shu then reorganized the soldiers and horses, sealed Qiaorui as the general, and Le Qiang, Liang Gang and others as the left and right generals to meet Cao Cao, but he turned back to Shouchun.

Qiao Rui knew that he had many recruits under his command, and he would be unpopular with the grain of the Chen Guoshi clan, so he was on the defensive throughout the whole process, and set up two lines of defense in Lishui and Yingshui, which were guarded by the generals Le Zhuo and Liang Gang.

The battle of Chen Guo fell into peace, but a big battle was about to break out outside Wuguan.

Liu Bei proclaimed himself king in Lishan, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard, and went north along the Taihang Mountain, attacked Jizhou with Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army and took the opportunity to attack Wei County, threatening Yecheng, the political center of Yuan Shao.

He also left Guan Yu to sit in Chang'an, and Huang Zhong sent troops to Wuguan as the vanguard to recapture this key pass that entered Sanfu.

Zhang Xun of Wuguan repeatedly petitioned Yuan Shu to return to Nanyang and return Wuguan to Liu Bei to ease the tension between the two sides.

Originally, Yuan Shu had Nanyang, Yuzhou Quanzhou, Yangzhou Quanzhou, and Xuzhou, but with the proclamation of emperor, Sun Ce became self-reliant and expelled Yuan Yin, the Danyang Taishou Yuan Yin established by Yuan Shu.

According to the record of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Nanyang has 37 cities, 500,000 households, a total population of more than 2.4 million, whether it is agriculture, handicrafts or commerce are very developed, it is the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are 37 cities in Runan next to Nanyang County, with 400,000 households and a population of 2.1 million, which is the second largest county after Nanyang in scale. Yuan Shu himself occupies Nanyang, and Runan is precisely the township of the Yuan family, and it is undoubtedly a strong backing for Yuan Shu.

In troubled times, population is the biggest strategic material.

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Wei had only 6 million mouths, and Yuan Shu only took Nanyang and Runan with 4.5 million mouths, plus Yangzhou and Xuzhou, which can be described as a large number of soldiers and a wide range of food.

Although Sun Ce's Jiangdong is known as the eighty-one prefectures, it has only more than two million people in the later period of Sun Quan, which is still the reason why the Central Plains has been fighting for many years and the population of the Central Plains has moved into Jiangdong one after another.

The reason why these data are listed is because many people think that Yuan Shu is a weak chicken, but in fact it is not, Yuan Shu is a well-deserved overlord in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao is just famous, Cao Cao, which lesson is counted, if it is not for the emperor in hand, he is not even as strong as Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu's confidence in being the emperor is here, coupled with the fact that Yuan's foundation is in Ruhuai, the entire Ruhuai is the essence of Henan, and Yuan Shu will be the emperor.

Although Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao and Lu Bu several times, his overall strength did not decrease much, which is of course Liu Bei's credit, Ruhuai has a large number of soldiers, Liu Bei has a large number of armor, and he has a large amount of grain, at least the strength on the books is not reduced.

Yuan Shu got Zhang Xun's recital, and there was Yan Xiang's verbosity in his ears, and he had the heart to retreat Wuguan to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei set himself up as the king and made him not angry.

Yang Hong, the long history of Xuzhou, came from Xuzhou, and he had to oppose it in line with the enemy's approval, counted Liu Bei's major crimes, and warned Yuan Shu of the danger that Liu Bei's tail could not be lost.

Yuan Shu was angry, and ordered Zhang Xun to go out of the martial arts and wait for the opportunity to take Chang'an.

Zhang Xun got Yuan Shu's will, did not dare to disrespect, and did not dare to send troops, for fear of making the relationship between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu more tense, so he sent Mei Cheng to Nanyang to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in the army, and then advised Yuan Shu through Yan Xiang.

Zhang Xun didn't want to stir up tension with Liu Bei, and the generals under Liu Bei had long been ready to move south, and now Guan Yu was appointed as the general of Zhenguo and Huang Zhong as the general of Zhengnan, and the fools understood that the lord wanted to take Nanyang.

There are 400,000 households in Nanyang, even after several wars, there are still one million mouths, the largest county in the Later Han Dynasty, how not to make people greedy.

Huang Zhong ordered Wen to be hired as a marching scout, and led his headquarters to Wuguan to inquire about the news.

Guan Yu ordered Li Yan to send troops from Hanzhong, along the water, out of Wudang, and attack the hinterland of Nanyang.

Liu Biao had already reorganized the army in Xiangyang, sent Cai Mao as a general, Liang Liang as a military advisor to take Xinye, and sent Deng Ji as a general to take Huyang, and then attacked Xinye with Cai Mao.

Jiangdong Sun Ce is fighting with Wu Jun Taishou Chen Yu.

Chen Yu, the word Gongwei, a native of Xiapi, and a brother of Chen Jue.

Father Ball, Yongle Shaofu; Brother Cong, Ruyang is too guarded. Yuju filial piety, the Duke Mansion, the mayor of Luoyang, and the Taiwei Mansion did not arrive. In the first year of Yonghan, he paid homage to Yilang, moved to Wu County Taishou, General Anton, and was not an official. When Yangzhou assassinated Shi Chen Wen and died. Yuan Shu used Yu for Yangzhou. Yu both led the state, and the technique was defeated in Fengqiu, and the south was Shouchun, and Yu refused to accept the technique. The technique of retreating to protect the Yin Tomb, and the army attacked Yu, and Yu was afraid to return to Xiapi. In the second year of Jian'an, Yutun Haixi, Sun Ce was edicted to govern strictly, and he should participate in the same situation with Yu and Lu Bu. Traveling to Qiantang, Yuyin tried to attack the strategy, sent the commander Wanyan and others to cross the river, so that more than 30 new people with the seal and the thieves Danyang, Xuancheng, Jing, Lingyang, Shi'an, Yi, Shezhuwei County Marshal Zulang, Jiao Ji and Wujun Wucheng Yan Baihu, etc., made it an internal response, and waited for the army to attack, wanting to capture the counties.

Chen Yu thought that he was doing secretly, but he didn't know that Sun Ce knew his conspiracy, and he made a big show in Wu County, wanting to crusade against Yuan Shu, but privately used Lu Fan as a general to attack Chen Yu, Chen Yu was defenseless and died, and Sun Ce captured more than 4,000 people including his wife and daughter.

Although Chen Yu died, Yan Baihu and the others he provoked began to make trouble, and Sun Ce could only turn around and pacify Yan Baihu and the others first, and Yuan was out of danger after surgery.
