Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 20

After Cao Cao was defeated by Zhang Xiu last year and returned to Xuchang, he rushed to attack Wancheng again.

But at this time, there was an unexpected news that diverted Cao Cao's attention, that is, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor!
Yuan Shu, as a representative of the aristocratic family at the end of the Han Dynasty, did not take the Han Dynasty seriously.Yuan Shu has always wanted to usurp Han.A few years ago, there was a prophecy: the person who replaced the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye!And Tu Gao is very consistent with Yuan Shu's character Gonglu, so he has always had this thought.

In fact, not only Yuan Shu, even Yuan Shao did not respect the Han Dynasty very much.In the later period of defeating Dong, Yuan Shao once wanted to support Liu Yu as emperor, but Liu Yu did not agree.

Around the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu's power was at its peak. Although he lost Nanyang County and Yuzhou, he established power around Shouchun.

Yuan Shu's subordinate Sun Ce helped him capture Lujiang County and attack Jiangdong.He also formed an alliance with Lu Bu to fight against Cao Cao.

However, his power seems to be stable, but in fact, there are major hidden dangers. Lv Bu is capricious, Sun Ce has a self-reliant heart, and his generals and others have limited capabilities, and they don't know when they will be destroyed.It may be that there was a feeling of despair in his heart, so Yuan Shu went crazy and proclaimed himself emperor directly.

Yuan Shu may be thinking that he is proclaiming himself emperor in response to the prophecy, which should be what people want!As a result, it became the point of view of Wanfu, and it will be stigmatized for thousands of years.

Cao Cao attacked him, Lu Bu broke up with him, and Sun Ce announced his separation from him.

Sun Ce declared that self-reliance was not counted, and he also recruited his uncle Guangling prefect Wu Jing and general Sun Ben, causing Yuan Shu to lose a large area of ​​Guangling and Jiangdong.

Lu Bu responded to the Han emperor's edict to crusade against Yuan Shu, defeated Yuan Shu in Huaibei, and then plundered wantonly, severely damaging his power in Huaibei.

Cao Cao attacked Chen State, defeated Yuan Shu's army, and drove Yuan Shu out of Yuzhou completely.At the same time, he went to Chen State to become Chen County, and cut off a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu fled to Huainan, fortunately the three forces did not continue to attack him, otherwise he would have no place to escape.

After Yuan Shu fled to Huainan, the Huainan generation was in dire straits, and there was even a phenomenon of cannibalism.However, under the influence of Pei Xiang Shu Shao, he began to help the people of Huainan and wanted to work hard.But it was too late, his subordinates Chen Lan and Lei Bo rebelled, plundered food and went up the mountain to become bandits.

Yuan Shu's situation was over, but he also made a bad start.Because it was not pacified in time, the world had two emperors for two years, which directly caused the prestige of the Han Dynasty to decline.The princes from all walks of life have different thoughts, and few people take the Han Dynasty seriously.

The news of Yuan Shu's rebellion also spread to Wancheng, and Zhang Yi didn't think too much about it.The Han Dynasty has come to an end, and there are almost no people who really ended the Han Dynasty. It is not a new thing for Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor.

Not to mention Yuan Shu, there was a young pawn in Xuzhou Que who proclaimed the emperor before, and when Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled, Zhang Ju also proclaimed the emperor.The frequent proclaiming of the emperor this time has well explained the hearts of the people at the moment.It's just a person who wants to become emperor, but most of the princes are not stupid and don't want to be the target of public criticism!

There is also a lot of discussion here, Yuan Shu is not the same as those little pawns.The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu, as the direct son of the Yuan family, has become the emperor, and the influence will be too great.Many people in Wancheng are discussing this matter, almost none of them are in favor, and there are still many people who condemn it.But these are just superficial phenomena, these people just say a few words, let them really go to crusade against Yuan Shu, they will not go!
When Yuan Shu occupied Wancheng, he had the support of these people. Otherwise, how could Yuan Shu easily use Wancheng as his base and send Sun Jian to crusade everywhere?Without the money and food provided by these people, it would be impossible for Yuan Shu to take Yuzhou.

The words are lively, but the people of Wancheng still have to do what they want.Since Cao Cao came to attack at the beginning of the year, Wancheng had a rare period of peace for more than half a year. In this period of constant war, why bother with so many things?How about enjoying this rare peace!

Therefore, Wancheng basically treated the news as gossip and didn't care at all.

Wancheng is thousands of miles away from Huainan, and Cao Cao's territory is separated in the middle, so the war can't affect it at all.

Zhang Yi felt that the time was a little tight. He always felt that he hadn't fully mastered the power of subduing the tiger, but the effect of improving every day was not obvious, and he didn't know what happened.

He has been selling wine all the time, and he is very careful every time he goes to sell it.The Changchunzi he pretended to have become a celebrity in Jingzhou, in order to avoid being exposed, he was ready to stop.After all, he is not a real Taoist priest, and the fake beard is too easy to reveal. Every time he puts on makeup, he has to take care of it carefully, and he can't move too much, and he can't go out on a windy day, otherwise the fake beard will definitely be blown off.

More and more people admire the name of Changchunzi or Xianjiu, and come to Wancheng, wanting to see Changchunzi's fairy appearance and drink a bowl of Xianjiu.Many people also went to Wudang Mountain to look for Changchunzi. After all, Changchunzi only came to Wancheng once a month or so, and the rest of the time should be in Wudang Mountain.Compared to completing it, the chances of seeing Changchun Zi in Wudang Mountain are more.

However, after these people went to Wudang Mountain, they found that there was no Taoist priest named Changchunzi on Wudang Mountain.

Cao Cao has newly won Chenjun and is sorting out the affairs of Chenjun.Moreover, winter is about to enter, and the weather is turning cold, so it is not suitable to raise troops.In a blink of an eye, in January of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao finally got out of trivial matters.He set his sights on Wancheng again, and began to prepare food and grass, preparing to attack Wancheng again.

However, he felt that the preparation last time was a little hasty, and he didn't have absolute strength to suppress the formation, so he could only let Zhang Xiu lead his old troops.This time, he was going to summon [-] troops and bring many generals to defeat Zhang Xiu and take down Wancheng in one fell swoop.

Wancheng is Cao Cao's sad place. His son, nephew, and confidant general all died in Wancheng. Cao Cao felt sad when he thought of this place.

Wancheng was also a thorn in Cao Cao's side. As long as he thought that Zhang Xiu could directly attack Xuchang by crossing the Flo River, Cao Cao felt uncomfortable all over, as if obsessive-compulsive disorder saw something irregular and insisted on making it regular.

In March, the food and grass preparations were completed, the soldiers were summoned, and the generals were dispatched. Everything was ready, and Cao Cao waved his hand: Send troops to Wancheng!

The [-]-strong army came straight to Feishui, and Zhang Xian was deployed here, because after the previous experience, Zhang Xiu was always on guard against Cao Cao's attack on Wancheng here.

Zhang first looked at the battle report in his hand. Cao Cao brought an army of 2000, and then calculated his own troops. There were only [-] men. How would this battle be fought?run!
