Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Chapter 103 The First Prince to Be Destroyed, Yuan Shu's Death

In less than seven days, Yuan Shu was not only lost in Jingbei.

Together with several counties in Yuzhou, they were all captured!

A Yuan Shu's army was less than half of Dong Zhuo's strength before, yet he dared to make himself an emperor.

The four counties of Yangzhou were his last territory, but with so many troops coming, it was difficult for him to make any useful decisions.

Yuan Shu, who had retreated one after another, could only retreat to Lujiang County.

"I'm not a man of destiny!"

Yuan Shu pointed at the groove of the stone and cursed!

But now that he has proclaimed himself emperor, he can't even hold a county!

Those princes have come to attack only after they have assembled 100,000 troops!

However, in the face of these 100,000 troops, his generals retreated steadily, and the soldiers were defeated, and they lost the land of six counties in just seven days!

"My auspicious spirit! 35

Yuan Shu's eyes were bloodshot.

"Aren't I lucky?

"Isn't it all auspicious in the past?"

However, no one paid any attention to him, even the stone was carved by Cao Yang.

All the auspiciousness that Yuan Shu saw was an illusion!

If he knew this was what Cao Yang did, he would probably vomit blood on the spot!

Yuan Shu alone looked at his own territory on the sheepskin map on the table, and roared with anger in his eyes.

"Waste, it's all waste! 35

"Given you tens of thousands of troops, you can't even defend a county."

His voice became more and more hoarse, but no one around him answered him.

Who dares to come in to disturb Yuan Shu who looks like this.

What is even more outrageous in Yuan Shu's mind now is that he has no regrets about proclaiming himself emperor.

"It must be that my auspicious spirit has disappeared!"

Yuan Shu's eyes continued to show a trace of your enthusiasm.

These short few days of the emperor's dream had made him addicted to it, but the loss of several counties now made him completely lose his mind.

This situation was obviously not what he wanted to see. After these princes won the six counties, they had no intention of retreating.

On the contrary, they approached step by step, and they did not plan to let go of the last four counties of Yangzhou.

At the same time, while several princes attacked, Yuan Shu did not even retreat.

Because Kuaiji County and Yuzhang County were Sun Ce's territory.

He had already offended that Sun Ce to death, and took advantage of the danger to take away several counties in Yangzhou that Sun Ce had seized.

Forced him to Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County, but now he has cut his own way.

That Yuan Shu contradicted for a long time in that dormitory, and then issued an order.

"Everyone sticks to the county seat! If you lose the county seat, come to see me!!""

After this order came out, everyone was shaken.

Wouldn't it be self-defeating to stick to the county seat?

The feudal lords are coming, and the best decision should be to abandon the surrounding counties and only stick to one county to survive.

Now that the princes are coming, they still want to defend those counties, but they have nothing to do.

Because the current situation has no solution at all, it is destined to become the emperor to attract the attention of the princes.

The crusade against traitors is just a title, and it is obvious that they all covet the jade seal in the hands of Yuan Shu and those prefectures and counties!

But who are Yuan Shu's subordinates?

Except for one fierce general, Ji Ling, it was difficult for the others to climb the hall, and now the princes have been attacking and winning one after another, and now is the time when their morale is like a rainbow.

On the other hand, the current Yuan Shu's subordinates have suffered successive defeats, none of them have been victorious, and the morale of the army has been sluggish, making it difficult to fight at all.

Coupled with Yuan Shu's ignorance of people's ability and missed countless talents, today's situation has no accident at all, it is all destined.

Facing the crowd, ordering a few people can only obey, and now there is no way out.

Then another day, two more counties!

In order to enjoy Yuan Shu's arrogance and extravagance, he extorted the Jianghuai section of the Jianghuai, and the people were struggling to live, and there was a famine.

At the same time, there was a drought in Yuan Shu's territory!

Countless people even turned to cannibalism in order to survive.

And Yuan Shu was completely indifferent to all of this, how could the army have no control over the lives of these people.

In Lujiang County.

Familiar eyes are a little slack, some dull looking at all this.

"What about the auspicious aura?"

The successive droughts these days are a sign of bad luck.

In just an instant, Yuan Shu changed from a son of heaven to a son of heaven's abandonment!

Not only did they lose countless cities after successive defeats, but also there was a drought in the sky!

Yuan Shu, who was full of fanaticism in his eyes, seemed to have changed in an instant.

"God, why don't you take care of me? 99

"I hold the jade seal, but I was ordered by the sky!"

Yuan Shu's eyes were full of blood, and his haggard expression shouted loudly.

Then he started muttering again.

"Before proclaiming the emperor, I met a fortune-teller who said that I was lucky enough to be the emperor to unify the Kyushu and become an emperor through the ages."

"My fate should never end, it can't be like this! 35

"It can't be so!

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

His long history, Yang Hong, walked in with an ugly face.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Can the news that comes out now be any good?

At this time, Yuan Shu didn't even bother to ask the melancholy face change.

"What happened?"

Yang Hong said with a crying look.

"Your Majesty, General Ji Ling died in battle!"

"Die at the hands of Cao Cao's army!

Hearing this news, Yuan Shu's heart roared, and he froze in place, his face pale.

He Ji Ling was the number one general under his command, and it was his reassurance.

And now Ji Ling is not here?

Does he still have anyone who can take it out?

No!

Now that Ji Ling is dead, he is simply driving him to a dead end!

Now Yuan Shu staggered to the table and said tremblingly as he looked at the few counties he had left.

"Withdraw! Withdraw Wu County from the east!"

Today, it is adjacent to Jingzhou Liu Biao in the west, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north, and Jiangdong Tiger in the south.

And if this goes on, he will be wiped out by the princes in just a few months?

This is too absurd!

"No, find a way. 35

"To find ways to!"

But just for a moment he was sitting in that seat in despair.

The successive blows made Yuan Shu calm down, but at this moment, the dead end has become a foregone conclusion, and there is absolutely no way!

Yuan Shu shook his head, and his slightly cracked lips murmured.

"Now with my strength, I cannot resist these princes.

Then there was a hint of compromise in his eyes.

"Come on, get your pen and ink!"

At this time, if he could unite with his cousin, he might be able to obtain a chance at life, but he wouldn't be able to care about other things at this point.

"I am willing to give my hands half of the county towns under my command, I just ask my brother to help me!

With trembling hands, he wrote this letter, and then sent someone to convey it secretly to Yuan Shao.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu, who was afraid of death, immediately evacuated Lujiang County and headed westward to Wu County!

Sure enough, Lujiang County was captured by Cao Cao in less than half a day!

At the same time, in Yuan Shao's residence.

"My lord, someone sent a secret letter!"

Yuan Shao revealed a hint of doubt and opened the secret letter.

But just by looking at the handwriting in front of it, I can already recognize who wrote it.

A bright light flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Going to read this letter, it really is a letter from Yuan Shu.

However, Yuan Shao had a gap with him, and at the same time, thinking of Yuan Shu's calculations against him in Hulao Pass, he felt even more angry.

If Yuan Shu had ten counties in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, he would give up the five counties, and he would consider it.

At present, Yuan Shu had only four counties in his hands. Including Lujiang County, which had just been conquered by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu had only three counties.

How could it be possible to betray the alliance for this benefit.

Yuan Shao chuckled lightly.

"Someone killed the messenger for me!"

"Shameless traitor, Yuan Gonggong still wants to bribe me?

"Coveting the country, the mountains, and the mountains, and the death penalty is one crime, how could it be possible to be in the company of such a traitor? 95

"How can I, Yuan Shao, be that kind of person!"

After that, Yuan Shao began to scold Yuan Shu, and the other princes showed their admiration. Sure enough, Duke Yuan was clean and honest, and he was much stronger than that Yuan Shu.

The same is the case with four generations and three princes, and the difference is so great.

Another day, in Wu County.

At this moment, the county in Yuan Shu's hands is only Wu County!

All other cities are in the hands of the princes!

Yuan Shao's response was also passed on at the same time, the news of beheading the messenger and insulting him.

Yuan Shu's eyes revealed a bit of despair.

"God does not bless me! God does not bless me!"

Unexpectedly, he escaped here!

There are very few generals who are still following him, and there are not many people at all.

Looking at himself with a dry mouth, he asked.

"Can I have honey to moisten my throat!

However, the servant on the side shook his head and said.

"Now, there is no food, so how can I get honey?"

Only at this time did Yuan Shu think of his current miserable situation, his face was pale and he even vomited blood.

"I am the emperor, why is this!

In Wu County that day, Yuan Shu set himself on fire and died, and his forces immediately collapsed and fled in all directions!

Yuan Shu also became the first vassal force in the world to disappear!

The more than ten counties in his hands were all divided up by the princes.

All territories fall into the three princes!

They are Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Jiangdong Sun Ce!

And that Liu Biao took back the land of Jingbei two counties, and did not dare to be greedy again, just brought more than 5,000 people to join in the fun.

The Northern spear king Zhang Xiu also took advantage of this to occupy Nanyang County!

Similarly, Tao Qian, Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou Prefecture, ordered Liu Guanzhang, who was under his command, to take back the lost ground, and there was no greed.

Cao Cao got three of his prefectures, Sun Ce acquired two of his prefectures, and the rest of the three prefectures belonged to Yuan Shao.

And the other princes who came to make a profit did not ask for these territories. After all, these county towns are not adjacent to their own territories. What really makes them care about is the imperial jade seal!

As soon as Yuan Shu died, all the princes, except Cao Cao, moved towards Wu Commandery, and their purpose was obviously for the imperial seal.

However, this jade seal did not cause any disputes, because in the end all the princes returned without success.

It is rumored that 007 is out, Chuan Guoyuxi is missing, and the whereabouts are unknown!

And Cao Yang, who got all this, showed a smile, how could the jade seal be lost?

According to the temperament of the princes, as long as they are in Wu County, they can find the jade seal even if they dig three feet into the ground.

Cao Cao is also indifferent to this thing, otherwise it would be impossible to give it up directly in Luoyang.

Such items can only lead to disaster.

And this battle completely disrupted the situation in the world, and the desires in the hearts of the princes continued to expand.

With the help of the chaos caused by several princes' crusade against Yuan Shu, wars broke out in other parts of the world!

Zuo Beiping Gongsun Zan relied on Baima Yicong to intercept all the Turks, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other aliens with his own power!

With his ability, how could he be willing to be under Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou Prefecture?

The prestige of General White Horse is extremely famous among the feudal lords, how could he be willing to only serve as the prefect of Zuo Beiping?

Through the turmoil against Yuan Shu, the ambitious Gongsun Zan also fought against Liu Yu in Youzhou.

And Yuan Shao is the only one in the Yuan clan now, and the forces of the Yuan clan who fled before came to join Yuan Shao one after another!

Yuan Shao also took this opportunity to grow stronger, expanding his power crazily!

With Yuan Shu's death as the fuse, the world is in chaos! The princes are rising everywhere!

At this point, the chaos of the princes has completely kicked off!

In the crusade against Yuan Shu, Liu Guanzhang and others took the place of Xuzhou to regain lost territory, which attracted the attention of many princes.

Sure enough, with the addition of Xu Shu, the three of Liu Guan and Zhang really began to show some improvement.

At the same time, Xuzhou Prefecture Mu Taoqian was already in his sixtieth year, and he was a little powerless in his control of Xuzhou, and he faintly had the intention of abdicating and letting the virtuous.

And now he is most optimistic about Liu Bei! Countless people have speculated that Tao Qian may give up the land of Xuzhou to Liu Bei!

The Mi Clan, who was also optimistic about them, also began to cooperate more closely with Liu Bei, and even intended to marry Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei was given the position of the prefectural shepherd, then their Mi clan would naturally rise, and because of the influence of the salt market, the Mi clan's chamber of commerce was already in a bit of a downturn.

So that Mi Zhu has been attacking from the side, just waiting for a good opportunity.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who occupied the land of the three counties, also began to develop, and continued to promote the field system in the territory, and at the same time recruited troops from various places.

The princes in various places are also developing wildly. Also because of the war, many prices have begun to rise wildly. The Zhen Chamber of Commerce also took this opportunity and made a lot of money!

After that, there must be more intense battles, and the various princes are also frantically stocking up various materials!

All the princes have a hunch and are waiting for the coming of the war!
