Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Dong Huang basically pacified Yizhou, and the happiest person was Dong Zhuo.

At this point, Dong Zhuo has controlled the entire territory of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Yizhou, most of Jizhou, and some counties in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou. Most of the world is under his control or nominally under his control!

The princes of Guandong were struggling to survive, and the most powerful Yuan Shu was far away in Shouchun and did not dare to look west. This made Dong Zhuo feel more powerful than ever. He felt that the time was ripe for him to become king!

Touching Queen Fu's bulging belly, Dong Zhuo arbitrarily drafted an imperial edict to make himself king.

Simply, Dong Zhuo hadn't completely taken over yet and still remembered Dong Huang's suggestions to confuse the public, so he not only made himself king, but also made kings for Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Dong Min and Dong Huang.

However, out of the mentality of being superior to others, Dong Zhuo created a prince that did not exist in the Han Dynasty - two levels of princes and princes. Dong Zhuo gave himself a prince with one word, and gave others two-word princes. .

After making three concessions to himself, Dong Zhuo officially became the Prince of Liang, and all major court affairs took place in Prince Liang's palace! Dong Zhuo's treacherous intentions were undisguised.

Yuan Shu was granted the title of King of Runan.

Yuan Shu was first angry about being crowned king, and then felt that Dong Zhuo was afraid of him and wanted to share the Han Dynasty with him. For the ambitious Yuan Shu, this was like someone giving him a pillow when he was dozing off.

Fortunately, Yang Hong and other advisers repeatedly advised Yuan Shu to give up his intention of accepting the title of king from Dong Zhuo, because Yuan Shu also found that accepting the title of king from a vulgar enemy would bring him down.

So, Yuan Shu's trick came. He proclaimed himself King of Chu, equaled Dong Zhuo in terms of title, and even went on stage to worship heaven. He was ready to proclaim himself emperor if things changed.

Yang Hong:......

Liu Yu was granted the title of King Lingzhi.

To be honest, this reward is obviously to sow discord. As we all know, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are at odds, and Gongsun Zan's hometown is Lingzhi. Liu Yu naturally rejected the title and killed the envoys, but this did not stop Gongsun Zan from growing his distaste for him.

Gongsun Zan was already very ambitious. This incident made him suddenly realize that if he annexed Liu Yu and completely occupied Youzhou, could he also become the king of Youzhou? If Jizhou is annexed again...

Dong Min was granted the title of King of Handan.

He happily accepted it.

Being crowned a king is what he has always dreamed of, and he doesn't care about counties, princes or princes! He only thinks about his feudal country becoming even more domineering!

Dong Huang was granted the title of King of Chengdu.

Dong Huang doesn't have any objections. Although he prefers the title of General Hussars, I have an army of millions. It's reasonable for a few people to call me a lonely man. Who can object to me?

A powerful army is his greatest confidence.

It doesn't matter whether he is the King of Chengdu or the King of Hanzhong.

As soon as the crowning of the king came out, the world was shocked again.

In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty swore to the White Horse Alliance that the world would fight against the king who was not named Liu. But in the blink of an eye, there were four princes in the world who were not named Liu. What should we do?

Naturally, no one wanted to provoke the three Dong kings, so the princes who still wanted to fight for the legitimacy of the Han family all turned their attention to Yuan Shu.

If you are indecisive, beat Wang Jialie!

Wang Rui, who had a grudge against Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, who had been acting as a guard dog, and even the good Cao Cao, who was lonely licking his wounds and missing Mrs. Bian, all had other ideas about Yuan Shu - I can't defeat Dong Zhuo. Still can't deal with you?

Among the three, Tao Qian was the most active.

Naturally, Tao Qian also had a war agent under his command, his son Tao Shang.

But just like Liu Zhang, with such a good start, there must be pitfalls waiting. The pitfall for potters is Tao Qian! Tao Qian is a stubborn old man who doesn't listen to what others say.

If the risk Dong Huang encountered was that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were suspicious, which caused Dong Huang to be almost killed by Dong Zhuo several times; the biggest risk for the pottery merchant was that Tao Qian would not listen to a word of his words. Not only did he not listen, but he also He was not allowed to refute, he was asked to stay at home all day long and recite scriptures, and his homework was checked from time to time! If there is any problem, he will be beaten and scolded!

This made the potter want to kill people!

The arrival of the two people made the pottery even more desperate!

These two people are Liu Bei and Yuan Shao!

Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Yuan Shao and his remaining subordinates to Xuzhou, and defected to Tao Qian by accident.

Tao Qian took a fancy to the bravery of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, as well as Yuan Shao's special attack on Yuan Shu, and decided to use these two cards to deal with Yuan Shu.

Tao Qian was also very clever and came up with the magical combination of making Yuan Shao as the main general, Tao Qian's confidant Cao Bao and Liu Bei as the deputy generals, letting them lead the troops to fight Yuan Shu, and promised Yuan Shao and Liu Bei that when Yuan Shu was defeated, they would become the Yuzhou Mu. and Yangzhou Mu.

Yuan Shao, who was originally as panic-stricken as a lost dog and just wanted to leave Xuzhou to join Yuan Shu and spend the rest of his life, was shocked.

Is there such a good thing?

What Tao Qian didn't know was that not long after Yuan Shao and Cao Bao met, Cao Bao, who was impressed by Yuan Shao's grace and demeanor with dentures, sent his daughter to Yuan Shao's bed that night; Mi Zhu, a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, decisively arrested her. Seizing the opportunity, he gave away half of his family wealth and agreed to marry Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Tan when his sister came of age, thereby gaining the opportunity for his son to become Yuan Shao's disciple!

Although Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son of the Xuzhou wealthy family, noticed something was wrong, how should they choose between the elegant and elegant Yuan Shao and the old and self-willed Tao Qian?

As Tao Qian's subordinates, Chen Gui and his son chose silence, and silence itself represented their position.

A mutiny broke out during the night.

Zhang Kai, who was born in the Yellow Turban Army, arrested Tao Qian and his son in their sleep and robbed them of all their money.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao, who was leading an army on the expedition, got the news and rushed back in time, thus saving Tao Qian and his son.

Later, the official statement was that Tao Qian was frightened and became seriously ill, so he entrusted Xuzhou to Yuan Shao.

The Liu Bei brothers were completely kept in the dark during the whole process, and no one took them to play with them.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu once again realized the terror of the powerful families, but at this time they had no soldiers or generals and could only rely on Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao, who also lacked generals, knew the bravery of the two men, so he took them in as a vanguard to attack Yuan Shu.

It is quite reasonable for the brothers to fight each other, because the brothers have always been at odds with each other, and Yuan Shao also took a fancy to Yuan Shu's family business.

Yuan Shu's main territories were in Huainan, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou. Not only were these territories connected with Xuzhou, but most of them were far away from Dong Zhuo, which could be called the base of the king's hegemony.

Yuan Shao felt that it was a pity to give Yuan Shu to the useless Yuan Shu, so he might as well leave it to him!

I have never beaten Dong Zhuo, but I can't beat you, this useless snack?

Yuan Shu was furious after learning the news. He was jealous and looked down on his little mother-in-law Yuan Shao. Seeing that Yuan Shao dared to lift his beard, he was furious and sent three generals, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and Liang Gang, to command 150,000 troops. , divided his troops into three groups to attack Yuan Shao.

As a result, when the army marched into Xuzhou, an accident happened.

Zhang Xun's subordinate Qingqi discovered Cao Song who wanted to take refuge with Cao Cao with hundreds of carts of property, and then killed Cao Song and looted all the Cao family's property...

Now, Cao Cao quits!

I haven't beaten you yet, you're going to kill my whole family!

Cao Cao's entire army was in retreat, formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, and attacked Yuan Shu.
