Guan Yu also noticed Liu Bei's sorrow and asked puzzledly: "Yuan Shu committed suicide. My elder brother should have been happy. Why is he still frowning now?"
Liu Bei sighed lightly and said: "Actually, I had the idea of attacking Yuan Shu. The purpose was not only to defend Xuzhou, but also to seize his Huainan land as a springboard for us to conquer the world."
"In order to prevent Cao Cao from taking advantage of our conflict and raiding Xuzhou, I specially made an alliance with Yuan Shao."
Liu Bei paused and continued: "But now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, all the princes in the world will regard him as the target of crusade, so this piece of fat meat that we can eat alone will become a feast for the princes. This is why Chen Deng The reason why father and son suggested that we attack Yuan Shu."
After listening to Liu Bei's analysis, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also changed from excited to upset.
After Yuan Shao heard about Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor, he immediately ordered Chen Lin to write a petition against thieves and send it to Xuchang to the emperor, and declared that the world would sever ties with Yuan Shu, so that he would not get angry.
When the news reached Xuchang, Cao Cao was so happy that he stayed up all night and drank a lot of wine for the first time. Dian Wei, who was on guard in the middle of the night, could still hear Cao Cao's laughter from time to time and felt creepy.
Even in the morning court the next day, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. After Guo Ming saw it, he naturally understood what Cao Cao was thinking.
After going to court, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty rarely took the initiative to say: "My dear friends, I believe that all of you have heard about Yuan Shu's rebellion in Huainan and proclaimed himself emperor. My dear friends, please tell me about it." Let’s take a look.”
Cao Cao was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shu has violated the will of heaven, has no regard for the imperial court, and has arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor. Now he is issuing an edict, ordering all the princes in the world to work together to encircle and suppress Yuan Shu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others all echoed, even Dong Cheng and others also echoed.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This was the first time that he felt like he was in charge.
After going to court, Cao Cao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. Dong Cheng and others looked at Cao Cao like a madman, but only Guo Ming and others understood why Cao Cao was so happy today.
Because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the people's reputation for being a traitor to Cao Cao would be reduced a lot. In this way, the pressure from public opinion would be reduced a lot.
Moreover, Yuan Shu replaced himself and became the target of all the princes in the world. What's more, Cao Cao was able to fight side by side with Liu Bei.
At the same time, you can also take a peek at Xuzhou, not to mention Yuan Shao's backstabbing.
How could Cao Cao be unhappy? Yuan Shu was such a good person.
Subsequently, Cao Cao was ordered by the emperor to conquer Yuan Shu, and decided to join Liu Bei's army first. Before that, he needed an envoy to find out more.
Naturally, Guo Ming couldn't let go of this opportunity, and Cao Cao readily agreed. After receiving the order, Guo Ming hurried to Liu Bei's military camp. Guo Ming was very excited along the way.
Because for a person who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, this is the first time he has seen Liu Guanzhang alive.
The three of them, Liu Guan and Zhang, had been waiting for Guo Ming at the gate of the camp early. As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, Guo Ming gradually saw the three of them clearly.
Guo Ming saw a big man with a rough face and a strong body, but he was not that dark.
A tall man with a face like a date, a pair of beautiful beards, and a tall figure. The other has a heroic face, with arms above the knees, but his ears are not that big.
Upon seeing this, Guo Ming immediately got off his horse, walked up to the three of them, and said respectfully: "My lord, Guo Ming, I have come here to pay homage to these three adults by order of my lord."
Liu, Guan, and Zhang also returned the favor one after another, especially Guan and Zhang. Seeing that Guo Ming was so respectful to Liu Bei, they changed their arrogant expressions and began to entertain the envoy seriously.
The four of them entered the camp together, started drinking and eating together, and chatting about everything.
"Fengde, I have long heard that he is very resourceful and has great martial arts skills. He can actually kill a fierce general like Lu Bu."
"And you are only in your twenties. Heroes have always been born in youth since ancient times." Liu Bei praised with a smile and toasted Guo Ming with a glass of wine, and Guo Ming naturally asked for it.
However, Guan and Zhang on the side were also a little unhappy because their eldest brother actually praised this guy.
Zhang Fei was also a little over the top and jumped up directly, which shocked several people.
Zhang Fei smiled and said to Guo Ming: "Fengde, I heard that you can kill that guy Lu Bu alone. I want to compete with you in martial arts."
However, Guo Ming quickly waved his hand and said, "General Zhang is ridiculous. Killing Lu Bu was just my luck."
"Hey, Fengde, don't be humble. I think back then the three of us brothers and Lu Bu were tied. You can defeat Lu Bu by yourself. You must be good at martial arts, so don't hide it."
"Third brother! Don't embarrass Fengde." Liu Bei scolded.
Guo Ming waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Since General Zhang has already had this intention, I will discuss it with General Zhang."
Because Guo Ming's force value has been continuously improving during this period, but he has not yet competed with others, so he does not know what level his strength is. Nowadays, it is rare to have the opportunity to compete with the world's top warriors like Zhang Fei. Only in this way can you better understand your own level.
"Okay! Have fun! Hahahaha!" Zhang Fei happily went to get his Zhangba Snake Spear, and Guo Ming also put on his Nine Dragons Divine Light Armor and took out his Silver Moon Dragon Spear.
When Guo Mingliang showed his will-o'-the-wisp mount, Liu, Guan, and Zhang asked curiously: "Fengde, is this strange thing your mount?"
"Yes, let the three adults show it off first, and you will realize how powerful it is after a while."
Guan and Zhang didn't take it seriously because they didn't think there was anything faster than a war horse in this world.
As Zhang Fei and Guo Ming got ready, Zhang Fei suddenly roared angrily. Although Guo Ming was frightened, fortunately he did not scare away the Silver Moon Dragon Spear in his hand.
Guo Ming also secretly exclaimed: "He is indeed the fierce man who scared off Cao Cao's army at Changbanpo with a single shout."
"General Fengde, you are really not bad. If you were an ordinary person, you would have been frightened by the shout I just made." Zhang Fei praised with a smile.
"General Zhang, I accept the concession."
After that, Guo Ming activated his own will-o'-the-wisp. The roar of the will-o'-the-wisp made Liu, Guan, and Zhang startle, and they all felt weird about this thing.
But Zhang Fei was not afraid at all. He roared and charged at the horse. Guo Ming also activated his will-o'-the-wisp and attacked. Guan Yu and Liu Bei who were watching the battle couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's so fast!"
