Luoyang.
Li Xiang laughed loudly after receiving the news that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor. He immediately summoned his civil and military ministers and said with a smile: "What day is today? What night is today?"
"My lord, it's the fifth day of May."
"Well, the fifth day of May is a good time! All the fools and idiots in the world will come out on the fifth day of May," Li Xiang continued to laugh, "You know, Yuan Shu became emperor and almost made me laugh to death. !”
Although Li Xiang secretly did a lot of things behind Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor, when he heard that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Li Xiang was not only happy but also felt funny.
This Yuan Shu really feels good about himself. He dares to proclaim himself emperor with such a small territory. He really thinks that other princes in the world will not attack him! The funniest thing is that this guy also issued an edict to everyone in the world, asking others to bow to him.
"This Yuan Gongli is really..." Wang Meng was halfway through his sentence, but he didn't know how to continue describing it.
At the same time, Guan Zhong, Guo Jia, Liu Ji and other counselors were also amused. They did not expect that Yuan Shu would dare to play like this at this time. Although they had all seen that Yuan Shu's character could not accomplish anything great, they had never expected that Yuan Shu could do something as stupid as proclaiming himself emperor.
"My lord, Yuan Shu is proclaimed emperor, but I don't know how many princes have taken action against him!" Bai Qi realized something for a moment and asked immediately.
"Liu Biao and Sun Jian!" Li Xiang secretly sighed at Bai Qi's military sensitivity for discovering the fighter plane so quickly.
Li Xiang recalled the news he had received before. Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang were really capable. When these two people discovered that Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor was a foregone conclusion, they immediately began to break the situation.
In fact, at the beginning, Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang did not think of betrayal. After all, except for Yuan Shu becoming emperor, Yuan Shu's ship was already a broken ship, and it might sink if he failed. This idea was quickly rejected by them.
Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang discovered that even if they rebelled and broke away from Yuan Shu's broken ship, no matter how powerful they were, they could only seize a county's territory from Yuan Shu's hands.
After all, with Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor, not to mention the surrounding princes, they would definitely attack Yuan Shu. In the hands of these princes, it would be good for Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang to be divided into one county. In fact, with their respective strengths, even one county cannot be guaranteed.
In other words, even if Yuan Shu is destroyed by then, the two of them have successfully occupied a county. With only a county's material resources and troops, how can they protect themselves among the princes, let alone plan the world.
Although they could get off Yuan Shu's broken boat by going against the water, if they waited for them to get off, their boat might not be able to withstand the wind and waves in this world.
Of course, they can also develop elsewhere. But now the Han Dynasty has no land to occupy, and it is difficult for Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang to find a prince who is as weak as Yuan Shu and easy to annex.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang finally made a plan and followed Yuan Shu directly. The two people who had been enemies of each other before had no choice but to continue to join forces this time. After their hard thinking, they came up with some ways to let Yuan Shu hold on for a while longer.
After finally convincing Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu reluctantly agreed to form an alliance with the Xiang clan and Chi You. After Yuan Shu agreed, Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang immediately sent envoys to the Xiang clan in Jingnan and the Yellow Turban Chiyou in Yanzhou.
In fact, what Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang didn't know was that they could persuade Yuan Shu and Li Shui, which meant that Li Mi played a big role after this.
In view of Li Mi's performance for a long time when Yuan Shu became emperor, it is obvious that Yuan Shu now likes Li Mi very much. Therefore, compared with others, some of Li Mi's suggestions are acceptable to Yuan Shu.
Li Mi came to Yuan Shu not only to let Yuan Shu proclaim himself emperor. In addition, he is also responsible for giving Yuan Shu some support to make him stronger.
Yuan Shu can only play his greatest role if he is stronger. Otherwise, if Yuan Shu is eliminated too quickly, then Li Xiang may have just sent troops to Yongliang, and the princes who attacked Yuan Shu will be free to stop Li Xiang.
Therefore, Li Mi targeted Jiang Xiaobai a long time ago and was willing to help Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang persuade Yuan Shu.
Jiang Xiaobai's mission to the Xiang clan was relatively easy. The Xiang family originally planned to deal with Liu Biao after Liu Biao fought with Yuan Shu, so even if Jiang Xiaobai didn't come, the Xiang family would take action when the time comes.
Moreover, the Xiang and Liu families have been mortal enemies for hundreds of years, and the Xiang family is usually happy to do anything that makes the Liu family uncomfortable.
Wang Mang was in more trouble. After he exhausted his words and paid some benefits, Chi You began to relax. After all, the Yellow Turbans and the Han Dynasty were enemies. If Yuan Shu, who proclaimed himself emperor, lived another day, the remaining prestige of the Han Dynasty would be severely damaged.
However, Chi You ultimately only agreed that Chen Bing would be around to help Yuan Shu contain part of Cao Cao's troops.
For this point, Wang Mang's expected goal has been achieved. After all, before this, Chi You had already started fighting with Zhao Kuangyin, who had become the master, which was equivalent to helping Yuan Shu retreat from Xuzhou's troops.
As for Cao Cao, he had already decided to go to Yuzhou to intervene, but Chi You and Chen Bing's actions forced Cao Cao to be on guard. Although Cao Cao could still mobilize some of his troops, after what happened, Cao Cao decided to observe for a while before deciding on specific actions. .
Anyway, in Cao Cao's opinion, the Yuan family is a big business and strong, and this war will not be over for a while.
Therefore, in the end, only two princes, Sun Jian and Liu Biao, sent troops to attack the rebellious Yuan Shu. Sun Jian sent out two troops. He and Sun Wu each led an army to attack Yuan Shu.
As for Liu Biao, Liu Yu and Wen Zhong, who had emerged from the grassland war, each led an army. They also divided their forces into two groups and approached Runan.
As for Sui Wang Yang Jian, who represents the emperor, now that there are people outside the imperial court usurping the Han Dynasty and usurping the throne, he is the one who should take action. If Yang Jian takes action, it will further prove that he is the pillar of the Han Dynasty and the authentic official of the imperial court.
However, Yang Jian seemed to have keenly felt that Li Xiang might be going to attack him. How could he easily send troops at this time?
Therefore, in the end, Yang Jian only issued a proclamation in the name of the Han Emperor, calling on the princes of the world to suppress the rebellion and support the Han, without choosing to take action himself.
