"My lord, Liu Yu did not proclaim himself emperor before. The reason is that he knew that he was resisting pressure for his family by proclaiming himself emperor. He did not have the ability to control the power of the world. However, he has always been close to the tribes in the grassland, which can ensure that Liu Yu himself stands in Youzhou.

Keep your footing, because few people are willing to deal with the Xianbei people.

But things are different now. Not to mention that the strength of the world's aristocratic families has been greatly reduced, and a large part of their power has been in the hands of princes from all over the world. Even Yuan Shu can claim the emperor, why can't he, Liu Yu, he is a true clan member of the Han Dynasty.

We are facing pressure from Gongsun Du. Liu Yu borders Gongsun Du's Liaodong, and Pingzihe City in Changli County is still in Gongsun Du's hands. The pressure is no less than ours. Now that Gongsun Du has not attacked Liu Yu, what will happen in the future? Wait for Liu Yu

Who can guarantee that Gongsun Du will not attack if he is dead?

Therefore, it was the right time for Liu Yu to become emperor at this time. If he died and Liu He took over his position as Youzhou Mu, it would be too late, because only Liu Yu could win over the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu, Xiongnu and other grassland tribes.

Heart." Guo Jia said this, and everyone else couldn't help but nodded. It seems that the possibility of persuading Liu Yu to become emperor is very high.

"Now that Liu Yu is seriously ill and Liu He is in power, what will he think when he sees that Gongsun Du is about to take over the entire Qingzhou, and Liu He is in urgent need of allies. If we can send an envoy to Jixian to convince Liu He to let Liu Yu claim

Emperor, this is not difficult." Guo Jia explained his plan step by step.

"Then what?" Cao Cao continued to ask.

"When Liu Yu becomes emperor, whether Gongsun Du will obey Liu He's orders, I'm afraid he won't, so Gongsun Du must focus on Liu He, and the pressure on us in Qingzhou will definitely be reduced.

The strength of Liu Yu's army is not much worse than that of Gongsun Du. If the lord can lend Liu He a general to capture Pingzihe City, Gongsun Du will not have the strength to send troops and supplies to Qingzhou, and the crisis in Qingzhou can be solved.

"Guo Jia said lightly.

Cao Cao couldn't help but move his eyes after hearing this. Although he worshiped Liu Yu as emperor, Liu He still had to rely on himself to deal with Gongsun Du. The situation suddenly became clearer, and it would be much easier to deal with the pressure on Zhang Xiu when only Zhang Xiu was left.

"The lord occupies Qingzhou. If Liu He occupies Pingzihe City, the two sides can start trade. The lord can obtain the grain and grass from Changli County, send goods from the Central Plains to the grassland in exchange for important materials such as horses, and join forces with Liu He to attack Gongsun Du from Youzhou.

Only by continuously transfusing blood to Qingzhou can we enrich our own strength..."

Guo Jia said slowly, and everyone present was very excited after hearing it. Their situation suddenly changed drastically. As long as they can withstand Zhang Xiu's pressure, this crisis will be over.

"As an envoy to Ji County, who among you is willing to go?" Cao Cao looked at all the counselors present and said, Guo Jia was weak and sick, and he did not want Guo Jia to go in person.

"My lord, this subordinate is willing to go!" Mao Jie said.

"You don't know much about the situation in the grassland. This trip to Jixian to discuss cooperation with Liu He involves many aspects. Wen Ruo (characterized by Xun Yu), please go there yourself!

I asked Yuan Rang (Xiahou Dun) and Gong Ming (Xu Huang) to go with you. Our future in Qingzhou now depends entirely on you, Wen Ruo!" Cao Cao said as he watched Xun Yu get up.

"My lord has an order, and my subordinates must do their best!" Xun Yu stood up and said.

Everyone can feel Xun Yu's excitement. When it comes to loyalty to the Han Dynasty, no one here can compare to Xun Yu. Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu had gone, and Xun Yu might not come back after Liu Yu became emperor.

, because Cao Cao always claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu followed him. If Liu Yu became emperor, would he choose to leave and never return?

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao. What he valued most was Cao Cao's courage. Sooner or later, he would have to face the fact that Xun Yu might leave. It would be better to let Xun Yu make his own choice. This could be regarded as Cao Cao's greatest sincerity to Liu Yu.

Even if Xun Yu goes to Jixian and does not come back, he will definitely speak to Cao Cao, and that is enough. Cao Cao is confident that one day he will be able to conquer all the princes in the world, because in his opinion, everyone in the world

All princes have fatal flaws, he just needs a chance.

Xun Yu left, taking Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang with him, as well as more than 500 of Cao Cao's elite troops. Zhang Xiu and Gongsun Du's attacks continued, and Cao Cao must continue to withstand the pressure and wait for the outcome of Xun Yu's negotiations with Liu He.

At the end of August, Yuan Shu defeated Sun Ce, but Lu Bu captured Guangling County. While Yuan Shu tried his best to resist Lu Bu's attack, his main force was to deal with Sun Ce. A hundred thousand troops were sent from Danyang County into Wu County, and Sun Ce could only be killed.

Some tribesmen fled, and then Yuan Shu refused to let go of Sun Ce. He led an army to pursue him south. Although Sun Ce occupied the southern part of Yangzhou, he was unpopular and was chased by Yuan Shu all the way to the border of Jingzhou in the southwest. Yuan Shu then sent counties to defend Sun Ce and deployed the main military forces to

The north went to resist Lu Bu.

At this time, Lu Bu had captured Yuan Shu's Shouchun County. In order to defeat Sun Jian, Yuan Shu had lost most of the prosperous areas in northern Yangzhou. Because Yuan Shu knew that Lu Bu was not terrible, he could not get the support of the family, and Sun Ce's home base was in Yangzhou.

Sun Ce was completely defeated, and he was likely to be defeated by Sun Ce in the end, because aristocratic families in southern Yangzhou had begun to take refuge with Sun Ce, which Yuan Shu could not tolerate the most.

What is Yuan Shu's biggest reliance is the network of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, and the disciples and students left by his father's generation. Now that Yuan Shao has died, Yuan Shao's three sons cannot take away too many of the Yuan family's connections.

Yuan Shu's most powerful reliance is his identity as the successor of the Yuan family.

Lu Bu captured Shouchun and became famous for a while. Most of the Shouchun family fled south with the Yuan family. The battle in Yangzhou can be imagined. At this time, Liu Bei was working hard to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou. He divided the Yanzhou family's power little by little and resolved those who were dissatisfied.

At the end of the year, Zhang Miao died in Chenliu County, and the Yanzhou family lost its leader. More and more families took refuge in Liu Bei, and slowly Liu Bei completed his rule over Yanzhou.

Many princes realized one thing at this time. No matter how powerful the family is, it is futile. To fight against the family, the key is to fight with the people. At this time, the most important thing is to deal with the relationship with the family and win over the people.

.

The princes who have the strength and the overall situation and can adapt to the development of history will become stronger and stronger in the future, and some princes will inevitably be slowly eliminated. By 200, the war of princes has reached a critical moment. At the end of the year, with Liu Yu proclaimed emperor,

Gongsundu was the first to speak out against it, and all the people realized that the Han Dynasty had really gone away from them. Nowadays, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. The traces left by the Han Dynasty in the past are getting less and less. The real emperor
