――――――――――――――

In early summer and April, the north is full of flowers, and the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque.

Shouchun City, a fast horse rushed into the city gate, Pegasus crossed the street, and went straight to the state governor's mansion.

After a while, loud laughter came from the main hall of the state pastoral mansion, laughing happily, laughing openly, laughing high-pitched, and penetrating so strong that the entire state pastoral mansion could hear it.

On the wide and bright main hall, the short and concise Yuan Shu laughed loudly, and a pair of small eyes smiled so much that there was not even a slit, almost together.

"Good, good, good! Sun Ce, this kid, really lived up to his high expectations, and it only took a long time to capture Huiji County. is really a good seedling, invincible, so that Benzhou is very envious of the late Sun Jian, the tiger father has no dog, and he gave birth to such a good son! In addition to applauding, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh, and his words revealed his love for Jiangdong Sun Ce.

"What the lord said is very true." The confidant Yan Xiang echoed, his face was also full of smiles, but his smile was a little weird, it seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and it was quite unfathomable.

After reining in his smile slightly, Yan Xiang continued: "After the battle of Sili, Sun Ce was defeated and returned, with only five thousand soldiers and horses left under his account, and fled back to Jiangdong in a hurry. However, within two years, he successively captured Yuzhang County, Wu County, and now he has captured Huiji County, and now the four counties of Jiangdong except Danyang County, other counties have fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, the soldiers are strong, and the wings are gradually full. In this regard, the lord must be on guard! ”

Yuan Shu laughed when he heard this. Suddenly opened his small eyes that were squinted together, and said thoughtfully: "Well, this state has its own plans. Not much to say for now. ”

At this time, there were two of his henchmen sitting in the hall, one of them was the strategist Yan Xiang, and the other was the general Ji Ling, who complemented each other with both literature and martial arts, and often followed Yuan Shu's side. But whenever there is a serious incident, these two people must be present, almost without exception.

This may be the difference between Yuan Shu and Jizhou Yuan Shao. Neither the ministers nor the generals under his command can be compared with Yuan Shao, but in recent years, he has continuously conquered cities and conquered places, and he has made quite a difference. In just three years. Yuan Shu gave up Nanyang and led his troops to the south, successively captured most of Yuzhou and half of Yangzhou, and now Sun Ce led the army to cross the Yangtze River south to attack the counties and counties in Jiangdong, and won successive battles; At present, except for Danyang County. The entire territory of Yangzhou fell into the hands of Yuan Shu one after another. Compared with. Yuan Shao of Jizhou sits on the rich prefecture and county, except for receiving most of the counties and counties of Qingzhou, there is no inch, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has been fighting for many years but has not been able to attack repeatedly, and he is still holding on to each other.

is also from the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, and Yuan Shao's reputation is far above Yuan Shu, but compared with the achievements of the two in recent years, Yuan Shao is dwarfed. Quite inferior.

However, this situation was invisibly tilted towards Yuan Shao after Yuan Shao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Yuan Shu paled in comparison, not as dazzling as before.

Even so, Yuan Shu still looked down on Yuan Shao in his bones, and was very disdainful of his actions of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. At the same time, with the successive victories in the Yangzhou war, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel a little excited, and often took out the heirloom jade seal presented by Sun Ce to watch it alone, and even put the jade seal on the couch, and looked at it every night before going to bed, otherwise he would not be able to sleep.

When the Son of Heaven ordered the princes of all towns to go to Luoyang Qin Wang to take over, a warlock said to Yuan Shu: Emperor Ziwei is moving eastward, and Shouchun City has the air of an emperor; He also said that the surname Yuan came from Chen, and after Chen Naishun, he used soil to bear the fire, and he deserved luck. For this reason, Yuan Shu was pleasantly surprised, rewarded the warlock, and thought that he was the son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and the Yuan family was an important minister in the court for four generations, and the people were willing to attach themselves to me.

However, the strategist Yan Xiang advised him to wait and see the changes of the times, not to be in a hurry, to show kindness to the people, to win the hearts of the people, and to wait for the decline of the Han dynasty to seek hegemony. Seeing that his most relied on confidants and advisors did not agree, Yuan Shu had to endure for the time being, so he led his troops to Nanyang to ask the king to take over and meet the Son of Heaven.

After the Wancheng dispute, Yuan Shu's carefully planned robbery and killing plan thought it was foolproof, and he didn't admit that he would work hard and be busy, but in the end, he married Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu could pick up a big bargain and get the huge six counties of Xuzhou for nothing. Yuan Shu complained about this, and was very aggrieved, he thought that Lu Bu was just a lost dog, even if he was brave, he was not afraid, as long as he intercepted and killed Liu Bei, Xuzhou would be at his fingertips. Outcome??????? The chess was a bad move, and Lu Bu took advantage of the fisherman, and he was busy in vain.

Later, Yuan Shu was resentful and wanted to raise an army to attack Lü Bu, but was dissuaded by Yan Xiang. Yan Xiang said that Lu Bu was just a snob, brave and unscrupulous, forgetting his righteousness for the sake of profit, and he could not attack such martial artists, but he could outwit them, and he could take them for his own use by spending some money and food.

In fact, as Yan Xiang expected, Yuan Shu successively sent 100,000 stones of grain and grass, and Lu Bu was really overjoyed, and took the initiative to form an alliance with him, communicate with each other, and take care of each other. Nowadays, the relationship between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu is very good, and there is an endless stream of caravans, like a family, watching and helping each other.

After reaching a reconciliation with Lu Bu, Yuan Shu got rid of another piece of heart, his territory became more and more stable, his strength became stronger and stronger, and he had become the largest prince in Jiangnan, which was enough to compete with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, which was not inferior. Seeing that the strength is increasing day by day, the border is stable, and the princes of the Central Plains are fighting endlessly, and the contradictions and conflicts are intensifying, Yuan Shu's imperial ambition that he finally let go of began to move again, and it became more and more intense, and there was a tendency to be impatient.

As he hinted again and again to his subordinates and generals, a group of subordinates already understood his intentions, and now they are actively contacting officials, preparing tens of thousands of words, and jointly petitioning and persuading. In addition, since March last year, the state pastor has been building a lot of construction and expansion, and Yuan Shu has privately ordered people to make dragon robes and build palace imperial weapons.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yuan Shuchao thought about it and wanted to be an emperor. Holding the heirloom jade seal all day long and watching it over and over again, often looking at it for a long time, motionless, his eyes are shining, and from time to time he paces back and forth on the jade steps of the main hall, looking forward to the scene of his ascension to the throne, fluttering like a fairy.

Today, Yuan Shu can be said to have everything ready, and there is only one opportunity missing, a major opportunity that can not only block the mouths of Youyou but also make him determined to ascend the throne as the emperor.

??????????????????????????

On the last day of April in the second year of Jian'an, a shocking secret spread all over the north and south of the river, the Han Emperor Liu Xie had died in Yecheng, and it was rumored that the Son of Heaven was killed by Yuan Shaoyu.

Huainan Yuan Shu got the news as soon as possible, and at that moment he laughed wildly and burst into tears. How the Son of Heaven died, who killed him, these have nothing to do with him, what he really cares about is that Liu Xie is dead, and the last emperor of the Han Dynasty is dead. There is no news that excites him more than this news, he really wants to come to something, just about to fall asleep, someone sent a pillow, it came too timely!

At this point, the opportunity that Yuan Shu had been waiting for had finally arrived, and the long-awaited throne was only a stone's throw away from him, and the long-awaited moment was coming.

?????? In early May 197 A.D., Huainan Yuan Shu set up an altar in the eastern suburbs of Shouchun, and held the jade seal made by the first emperor to sacrifice to the sky, ascended the throne and called the emperor, the country name Zhongjia, and called himself the emperor of Zhongjia.

On the day of his accession to the throne, Emperor Yuan Shu of the Zhong clan announced to the world that Shouchun was the imperial capital, and Jiujiang Taishou was Huainan Yin, and the ministers were placed in the first hundred officials.

After Yuan Shu became the emperor, he rebuilt the second year of An as the first year of the Zhong family, built the Zhong family temple in the northern suburbs of Shouchun, set up the eldest son Yuan Yao as the prince, and rewarded the military officials under his command, and there were as many as 100 people in the position of three dukes and nine secretaries.

At this point, when the Han Emperor was killed and died, and there was no owner in the world, Huainan Yuan Shu took the lead in claiming the emperor, respecting the Ninth Five-Year Plan, changing the Yuan Dynasty to open the country, and reigning in the world.

As soon as the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation of the emperor came out, the princes of all towns in the world were in an uproar, some people were shocked and shocked, some people were ready to move, some people were noncommittal, and some people scoffed at this, shook their heads and sighed.

In the next half month, the news of the death of the Han Emperor and Yuan Shu's proclamation of the emperor became one, which swept the world, making the entire Han Dynasty shake, the undercurrent was turbulent, and the wind and clouds changed color.

When Xuzhou Lu Bu learned the news that Yuan Shu was called emperor, he was shocked and worried, and it happened that Yuan Shu sent someone to send another 100,000 stones of grain and grass. Immediately, Lu Bu became a minister and expressed his willingness to belong to Yuan Shu's command and Yongzhen Xuzhou. This was the first prince to take the initiative to pay tribute to Yuan Shu, and it was also the only one, and then the princes of each town reacted coldly, and they watched from the wall one after another, waiting for the times to change.

When Yanzhou Cao Cao learned that Yuan Shu was called emperor, he was stunned for a long time, stunned, and then got up and walked to the door of the main hall, stood on the stone steps and looked around, and then laughed loudly, and kept muttering: "Yuan Shu is the emperor!" Hahaha?????? Yuan Highway actually ascended the throne and became the emperor! Living in a corner of Huainan and having less than two states under his jurisdiction, he dared to usurp the throne! I'm laughing to death, hahaha??????"

When Yuan Shao of Jizhou, who was immersed in hesitation and uneasiness, learned the news, he was also surprised, silent for a long time, and then an extremely ironic sneer appeared in his eyes: "I have long known that Yuan Highway will be unable to resist the throne one day sooner or later, but I didn't expect him to be so urgent, Liu Xie's front foot just died, and he Yuan Highway couldn't wait to sit on the dragon chair on the back foot!" It's so good that it can take some of the pressure off me, otherwise I'll die. Hehehe??????"

When this news reached Luoyang City, Li Li was summoning Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhuge Jin, Yan Pu and others to draft a crusade against Yuan Shao in Jizhou. The moment they heard Yuan Shu proclaim himself emperor, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others looked stunned, looked at each other, and then shook their heads and sneered with a look of disdain and disdain. And Li Li was stunned for a long time, laughed, and secretly said in his heart: "Originally, Yuan Shu would ascend the throne and become emperor in February this year, but I didn't expect Liu Xie and Baiguan to arrive in Luoyang two months in advance, and actually postponed Yuan Shu's proclamation of emperor for three months. However, in the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the king of the world, and took the lead in claiming the emperor, but he didn't know that the first to stand up was the object of the princes of each town. "Then Li Li's draft of the thief script added another crusade object, this is Huainan Yuan Shu!
