Yuan Changshui, a fierce ghost on the road.
When Yuan Shu was serving as a captain in Changshui, because he often violated traffic laws, the people made up a nickname to ridicule him: "Yuan Changshui, the fierce ghost on the road."
But now Yuan Jiujiu has been injured by drinking and sex, and he is not as high-spirited as before. After becoming emperor, Yuan Shu lived in luxury and debauchery, and imposed excessive taxes, which left the Jianghuai region in ruins. Under his corrupt rule, the people in the Jianghuai area were in dire straits, and many places were cut off from human habitation. During famine, cannibalism even occurred.
First, it was defeated by the coalition forces of Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and its vitality was severely damaged. Later, it was defeated by Sun Ce. Now it has been hit by severe drought and famine, and its strength has been seriously damaged.
Chen Lan and Lei Bo rebelled, and after plundering grain and grass, they rushed to Songshan Mountain.
Now Yuan Shu is estranged from his moral character, his body is losing ground day by day, and his territory is being eroded by Sun Ce step by step. Now only Shouchun City is still struggling to hold on.
Desperate, Yuan Shu decided to give his imperial title to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao would take him in. At the same time, he knew that Yuan Shao would not refuse the huge temptation of the emperor's title, so he wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Yuan Shao.
At this time, Yuan Shao was digging a tunnel.
He didn't expect that Yuan Shu would reach this point, nor did he expect that Yuan Shu would give him his imperial title. This aroused a wave of enthusiasm in Yuan Shao's heart.
Open Yuan Shu's letter.
Yuan Shu wrote: "It has been a long time since the destiny of the Han Dynasty left the Han Dynasty. It relied on the support of the people of the world, and the political power came from selfish sources. Heroes fought and chased each other and divided the territory. This is no different from the Seven Kingdoms at the end of the Zhou Dynasty. Only the stronger side annexed the others. Yuan Shu wrote The clan has received the destiny to rule the world, and the auspicious fortune of the destiny is bright and clear."
"Now that you own four states and have a household registration of one million people, no one can compete with you in terms of strength, and no one can be higher than you in terms of status. Although Cao Cao wants to support the weakened court, how can he restore the broken destiny? How about reconnecting it and reviving the ruined imperial court? I respectfully give you the Mandate of Heaven and hope you can revive it."
After Yuan Shao read the letter, he became excited and immediately summoned his close advisers to discuss the matter.
After reading the content of the letter, Tian Feng pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, Yuan Shu is in his current situation because of his imperial title. How can we follow in his footsteps? I hope my lord will think twice."
Jushu said: "Yuan Shu is arrogant and unruly, and does not live with the people. It is his own fault that he has fallen to this state. His imperial title is unworthy, but the jade seal passed down to the country is in his hands, so he should take this opportunity to get it back."
Hearing the objections from his two top advisers, Yuan Shao's expression turned cold.
Xu You twirled his beard, looked at Yuan Shao's face, and said knowingly: "My lord, You's opinion is different from this."
Yuan Shao's expression softened a bit: "Oh~ Ziyuan, what do you think? Tell me."
Tian Feng and Jushou looked at Xu You with cold faces.
Xu You raised his chin slightly, feeling the gazes of Tian Feng and Ju Suo but ignoring them. He straightened his collar proudly and said slowly: "How can Yuan Shu be compared with my lord? Yuan Shu is in this situation all because he is arrogant and arrogant." , If you don’t change the situation with the people and show kindness to the world, you will bring it upon yourself. The Lord respects etiquette, is lenient towards others, and employs people without suspicion. He is simple on the outside but wise on the inside. He only suits his talents, acts sincerely, and does not Xumei, my lord is so virtuous and far-sighted, benevolent and righteous, how can Yuan Shu compare with him?"
Tian Feng and Jushou looked cold.
Such arrogance is sheer flattery and rainbow fart. It sounds nice, but it's a pity that it is completely useless.
Maybe every leader likes to hear it.
Yuan Shao was elated when he heard this, with a smile on his face.
He said happily and humbly: "Zi Yuanzhi is exaggerating! He is exaggerating! He is exaggerating! Hahaha! But Shu's character is indeed defective, and he is extravagant, so he is in this situation. The jade seal of Chuanguo lost its identity in his hands, I deserve it back.”
Tian Feng was about to speak, but was stopped by Ju Sue next to him. Tian Feng looked back in surprise, only to see Ju Sue helplessly shaking his head at him and whispering four words: "Advisors seek themselves!"
Tian Feng opened his mouth and closed it again.
Yuan Shao, who was overjoyed, did not see their actions and stared at Xu You with bright eyes.
Xu You proudly glanced at Tian Feng and Ju Sue who were silent, raised his face and said: "My lord, since Yuan Shu has come to ask for it, and he is the emperor of the Yuan family, my lord should take it by himself. Now that the Han Dynasty is declining, the world is in decline. When all the heroes come together, the lord is rich in the four states and becomes the emperor of the north, why not?"
"Hahaha!"
Yuan Shao laughed, "Just follow Ziyuan's words and quickly order people to welcome Yuan Shu!"
"Here!" Xu You arched his waist.
…
Yuan Shu was reluctant to give the imperial title to Yuan Shao, but he was already desperate. Lujiang had fallen into Sun Ce's hands, leaving only Shouchun in danger.
Sun Ce led an army of 30,000 men and came with great momentum. He had to make a decision, but he had no choice but to write a letter to Yuan Shao, expressing his willingness to give him his imperial title.
Looking back on my life, it was so smooth.
When the world was in chaos, he was the most powerful warlord and a tycoon with great luck. He did not expect that proclaiming himself emperor would bring such a big change to him.
His body was emptied of alcohol and sex, and he coughed up blood. He abandoned his family and became a real loner.
"His Majesty!"
Yuan Shu's younger brother Yuan Yin hurried into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao has written back and promised your Majesty to go north, and he will send Yuan Tan to Qingzhou to support you."
"real?"
Yuan Shu's gray eyes lit up with life.
"Absolutely true!"
"Okay! Okay!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed, "Hurry up and prepare, we will set off now. Sun Ce's army will arrive soon. If it is too late, something will happen."
"Here!"
Yuan Yin went out to prepare.
On the third day, Yuan Shu led an army of five thousand and left Shouchun and headed north.
When Cao Cao and Lu Bu learned that Yuan Shu was going to pass Xuzhou and go north to Qingzhou, how could they allow him to pass smoothly? Cao Cao immediately joined forces with Lu Bu to send troops to Xia Cai to intercept them.
Cao Cao sent Zhu Ling to lead an army of 10,000, and Lu Bu sent Gao Shun to lead an army of 6,000 to intercept.
Five days later, Yuan Shu marched to Cai.
The two sides fought, and Yuan Shu was outnumbered and was hunted down. His soldiers fled and suffered numerous casualties. He had no choice but to retreat. On the way, he was intercepted by Lei Bo and Chen Lan of Songshan Mountain, and their money, food and fodder were intercepted. He wanted to return to Shouchun to regain his strength, but was again captured by Songshan Lei Bo and Chen Lan. Attacked by a group of thieves, he had to temporarily stay in Jiangting.
When the food and grass were exhausted, Yuan Shu was unbearably hungry and asked Yuan Yin: "Can I have rice porridge to wrap my belly?"
Yuan Yin looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, there are still thirty husks of wheat shavings in the army."
"What?"
Yuan Shu couldn't believe it.
Yuan Yin couldn't bear the pain and cried: "There are still thirty husks of wheat shavings in the army!"
Yuan Shu smiled sadly.
I didn't expect that I would end up like this.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing maniacally, his whole body shaking with laughter and his hair disheveled.
Yuan Yin turned pale with fright.
After laughing, he shouted loudly: "I, Yuan Shu, am the empress of Shun. I used earth to carry fire, and when I was lucky, I recovered the jade seal, and I am the lord of the world! How could I be reduced to this...such a situation!"
After drinking, he continued to vomit blood.
Yuan Yin hugged Yuan Shu and rubbed his back.
Yuan Shu had difficulty breathing, he was going in too much, and bleeding continued from the corner of his mouth. Finally, he vomited blood and died.
Later generations have poems:
At the end of the Han Dynasty, swordsmen and soldiers were everywhere, and Yuan Shu was too rampant for no reason.
Instead of thinking about being a public minister for many lifetimes, I want to be an emperor alone.
Rape and boast in vain to pass down the national seal, arrogant and extravagant in vain to say that Tianxiang deserves it.
Hungry and craving for porridge, he lay alone on an empty bed and vomited blood and died.
