Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

The movement of clouds in all directions did not stop Yuan Shu from proclaiming himself emperor after all.

In the spring of 195 A.D., Yuan Shu brazenly proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, established the Dazhong Dynasty, entrusted hundreds of officials, and established Shouchun as his capital.

The reason why Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor was because Yuan's surname came from Chen, and Chen was the successor of Shun, so it was natural for him to inherit the Huo virtue of the Han Dynasty with Tu De.

Historically, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in the spring of 197 AD.

Right now, because of Hua Yu's participation, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor a full two years earlier.

The Feng family was made queen by Yuan Shu.

The son Yuan Yao was made the prince, and the two daughters were made the princess.

The next day, Yuan Shu really made up an excuse, put Feng's family in the cold palace, handed over the harem to another concubine who was extremely favored, and made her a noble concubine.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, which triggered a series of changes.

The real emperor, in the hands of Hua Yu, is unconscious, and Hua Yu is busy replacing Liu Xie with Pingyuan Wang Liu Qi as the emperor, so he can't care about crusade against Yuan Shu.

However, after learning the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Hua Yu issued a statement to sever the alliance with Yuan Shu.

The false emperor is in the hands of Ma Teng.

Ma Teng had a guilty conscience on the one hand, and on the other hand he was doing his best to prepare the army for war, so naturally he would not issue an edict in the name of the emperor.

Hua Yu and Ma Teng both adopted the silent method, but the Kanto princes were different.

First of all, Gongsun Zan, like Hua Yu's reaction, issued a statement to sever allies with Yuan Shu.

Secondly, it is Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are not allies, but they are brothers.

Therefore, Yuan Shao removed Yuan Shu from the Yuan family in the name of the head of the Yuan family, and declared that everything Yuan Shu did had nothing to do with the Yuan family.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao only issued a statement and did not take military measures.

For one thing, the two were having a lively fight and couldn't care about Yuan Shu at all.

Secondly, even if Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to attack Yuan Shao, their territories did not border Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan's Youzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou to the south.

To the south of Jizhou is Yanzhou, and to the south of Qingzhou is Xuzhou.

The master of Yanzhou is Cao Cao, and the master of Xuzhou is Liu Bei.

Therefore, even if Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao didn't fight, even if they were good enough to wear a pair of trousers, they still couldn't cross Cao Cao and Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao didn't want to fight Yuan Shu, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei naturally couldn't remain indifferent.

On the third day after Yuan Shu officially proclaimed himself emperor, the news spread to Yanzhou and Xuzhou respectively, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei took action respectively.

These two people, as if they had made an agreement, issued a statement together, scolding Yuan Shu for this disrespectful behavior, and then one claimed to send troops to Yuzhou, and the other claimed to send troops to Yangzhou.

This is Liu Bei's cunning, using the word Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is divided into two sections by the Yangtze River, one section is the land of Huainan, and the other section is Jiangdong.

Generally speaking, the land of Huainan and Jiangdong are discussed separately because they are separated by the Yangtze River.

Now, Liu Bei claims to send troops to Yangzhou, aiming at the land of Huainan and Jiangdong together.

It should be noted that although there are only two counties in Huainan and five counties in Jiangdong, the populations of the two sides are almost the same.

Such a densely populated Huainan land, of course Liu Bei will not let it go.

"Hahaha..." Liu Bei's smug laughter almost penetrated the entire prefecture's mansion in Pengcheng prefectural pastoral mansion, and could be heard outside the gate of the mansion.

"Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, I am waiting for the opportunity to send troops."

"The people in Xuzhou are stable right now, the soldiers and horses have enough money and food, and Wenchang is prosperous and martial arts are prosperous. Huainan will definitely be conquered in one fell swoop."

"If Huainan goes down and Yuan Shu is defeated, our army can easily wipe out Jiangdong and bring the whole of Yangzhou into our territory."

Liu Bei still has a way of fighting, and there is no problem with this combat plan.

Lu Su also agreed, nodded, and said: "To capture the thief, first capture the king. As long as Huainan is pacified, Jiangdong will be a land without an owner."

"Because of the lord's soldiers, all the places must have surrendered."

Guan Yu also nodded his head: "Big brother is right, attack Huainan first, and then conquer Jiangdong, this is the best strategy."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Brother, whether it is attacking Huainan or defeating Jiangdong, my younger brother is willing to be a vanguard general."

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Third brother, this is your fault."

"Before, you asked your eldest brother to fight, saying that you wanted to attack Jiangdong and would like to be the vanguard general, and your eldest brother agreed."

"Right now, the plan made by the eldest brother is to attack Huainan first. If you grab the position of the vanguard general, then I, the second brother, will have to discuss it with you."

Zhang Fei scratched his head, and said with a chuckle, "Okay, it's my old Zhang who is greedy."

"When attacking Huainan, the vanguard general is the second brother. When we attack Jiangdong, I, Zhang, will be the vanguard general again."

This is what Guan Yu wanted, and he immediately bowed his hands to Liu Bei and said, "Brother, this time we are attacking Huainan, my younger brother is willing to lead our troops as the vanguard."

Under Liu Bei's command, only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Ping had soldiers and horses in the headquarters.

Among them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had three thousand troops in their headquarters, and Guan Ping had one thousand troops in their headquarters.

The rest of the generals, like Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, etc., did not have their own troops.

Chen Dao commanded the Bai Mubing, about 500 people, but the Bai Mubing was Liu Bei's personal guard, but Chen Dao commanded and trained this army for Liu Bei.

And Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were newcomers to Guan Yu, and they were both Guan Yu's lieutenants, helping Guan Yu lead the three thousand troops.

In other words, Chen Dao is Liu Bei's private general, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua are Guan Yu's private generals.

Of course, because of Zang Ba's refuge, Liu Bei has a few more generals under his command.

However, in order to express his generosity, Liu Bei still let Zang Ba lead the army to garrison Langye.

However, Liu Bei wanted to call Yin Li and Sun Guaner to serve on the grounds that he did not have enough generals to attack Yuan Shu.

Zang Ba received Liu Bei's letter without any hesitation, and ordered Yin Li and Sun Guan to lead two thousand troops to Pengcheng to help Liu Bei attack Yuan Shu.

At this moment, Yin Li and Sun Guan are still on the way, but Liu Bei has already known the news.

Since Yin Li had negotiated with Liu Bei as an envoy, he was naturally Zang Ba's confidant.

Sun Guan's elder brother Sun Kang was Zang Ba's only adviser.

With Yin Li and Sun Guan in Liu Bei's hands, Liu Bei naturally didn't worry that Zang Ba would surrender and rebel.

Next, Liu Bei is also going to use the excuse of assisting Zang Ba in defending Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to grant Chen Chen Deng Langya a farewell, in fact, to monitor Zang Ba's every move.

Guan Yu asked for an order, and Liu Bei was about to agree, when he suddenly saw that Zhuge Liang was just shaking his feather fan lightly, without saying a word, he couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what the military commander thinks, what is the battle plan?"

Even Lu Su and Guan Yu recognized it, and Liu Bei was naturally full of confidence.

But who would have thought that Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "My lord, Liang thought that Jiangdong should be taken first, and then Huainan should be settled."
