Chapter 1147: Yuan Shu Proclaims Emperor Part 1

"What's going on, why is Yuan Shu suddenly proclaiming himself emperor?"

Hearing the news from Yi Mina, Shang Ji didn't even enter Longmao City, and returned to Xiangping City in a hurry.

As soon as he returned to Xiangping, Shang Ji held a core meeting.

"The situation is very sudden. For the time being, we haven't figured out the reason why Yuan Shu decided to proclaim the emperor, but the authenticity of this matter has been verified from multiple channels, and it is undoubtedly confirmed. According to our estimates, the enthronement ceremony is expected to take place in half a year. This The news has already spread among the small group in Shouchun, and it is estimated that other princes will receive the news within five days at the latest."

Chen Guan got up and briefly introduced the situation.

Shang Ji frowned deeply, and said in a puzzled way: "Could it be that Yuan Shu is going crazy? Hasn't he heard of the history told by other people? Moreover, proclaiming himself emperor at this point in time will offend the princes of the world all at once. Seven or eight.

In addition, Yuan Shu just failed in the Northern Expedition to Xuzhou, and it was the time when he lost his troops and lost his generals. Wouldn't it be too childish to proclaim himself emperor now? "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one could figure out Yuan Shu's original intention of proclaiming himself emperor.

"Could it be that Yuan Shuli fainted?"

Yang Yi asked hesitantly, but Yang Yi herself was not sure about this statement.

Shang Ji also shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu's talent and virtue are not as good as Yuan Shao's, but he is not a mediocre person either. Don't underestimate him. Don't speculate without evidence."

Shang Ji had been in contact with Yuan Shu a few times before, and the senses were quite good. He is righteous and bold, without the sense of arrogance of a family member. Although he is not as calm and generous as Yuan Shao in his work, he can be said to be a generation of outstanding people.

Before there is any real evidence, it is very irresponsible to easily attribute the reason for Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor to profit and wisdom.

"What's the situation inside Yuan Shu? What's the reaction to the news about proclaiming the emperor?"

If he couldn't find out Yuan Shu's original intention of proclaiming himself emperor, then Shang Ji changed his angle, hoping to understand it from the side.

Chen Guan shook his head and said, "It's weird, very weird!"

"Oh? What kind of weird method?"

"Ordinary people will not talk about it. It must be said that the news has not been fully disclosed, and public opinion has not yet formed. Moreover, their opinions are very easily influenced by those in power, and have little reference value. Let us focus on the reactions of Yuan Shu's military and political leaders.

Whether it is the generals group headed by Ji Ling or the civil servants group headed by Yan Xiang, they have remained silent on Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor. Even the Sun Clan, headed by Sun Ce, remained silent. At present, whether it is the side that supports the proclaiming of the emperor or the party that opposes the proclaiming of the emperor, it is not Yuan Shu's core executives who make the voices, that is to say, it is some clowns who are making trouble. "

"In fact, according to Qian Huan's analysis, there is a high probability that these people have remained silent because they have not yet reacted! According to the information obtained, Yuan Shu has not shown any signs of proclaiming himself emperor before. But after the Battle of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu suddenly began to talk in the inner circle that he wanted to become emperor, and his attitude was very firm, the incident was so sudden that Ji Ling, Yan Xiang and others were caught off guard."

"Is that so?"

Shang Ji pondered for a while when he heard the words, and suddenly asked: "Is Yuan Shu's transformation somewhat similar to that of Dong Zhuo back then?"

Hearing what Shang Ji said, everyone also reacted one after another, isn't it just like this, Dong Zhuo also made a 180-degree turn from a virtuous prime minister back then, and directly became a devil.

Following Dong Zhuo's defeat, the reasons for the drastic change in Dong Zhuo's temperament were also uncovered, especially Shang Ji and Diao Chan, a quasi-ally who knew the inside story all too well.

The scene of Yuan Shu today reminded Shang Ji of Dong Zhuo back then.

"There's something wrong with that. Dong Zhuo didn't dare to proclaim himself emperor when he was the most arrogant and domineering at the time when he killed three lords and nine ministers like a butcher. How could Yuan Shu have the confidence to dare to proclaim himself emperor? Could it be possible to rely on someone like Ji Ling? ?”

Tai Shici pouted with some disdain and said.

Although there were various objective reasons for Ji Ling's defeat under the city of Xuzhou, a defeat is a defeat, and the defeat was very ugly. While Liu Guanzhang became famous in the first battle, Ji Ling also became the laughing stock of the princes.

Even Yuan Shu was looked down upon by others.

Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "My lord, Jia looked at the sky at night, and found that the emperor star was shining in the southeast, and Shouchun City was full of purple air, and there was a faint image of a king."

"Ok?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and looked at Guo Jia in unison, Liu Meng couldn't help but said: "Hearing what the military master said, could it be that Yuan Shu really has the luck of the emperor?"

Guo Jia didn't speak, just nodded.

Everyone's hearts sank at the same time, and their faces were a little ugly.

If Yuan Shu has the fortune of being an emperor, what is Shang Ji? What are they?

"However, Yuan Shu has the fate of the emperor, but I don't know if he has the fate of the emperor!"

"What does Feng Xiao mean by that?"

"The star of the emperor flickers, but it flickers on and off, and it is indeterminate; Shouchun City is full of purple air, but it is scattered but not condensed. I am afraid that Yuan Shu has the destiny to become emperor, but he is not destined to be emperor!"

"Military Master, you've confused me, so just ask Yuan Shu if he can become emperor!"

Dian Wei rubbed his head and asked impatiently.

"Everything is possible, of course Yuan Shu has the possibility to unify the country. But proclaiming emperor is both an opportunity and a disaster. After evading the catastrophe, Yuan Shu will naturally get rid of the shackles of fate and soar into the sky; but if he cannot defeat the catastrophe, the backlash brought by proclaiming the emperor It's enough to kill him!"

There was an incomprehensible smile on Guo Jia's face, which seemed to be curious, but also somewhat mocking, but judging from Guo Jia's indifferent expression, he obviously didn't take Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor to heart.

"According to Feng Xiao's opinion, how should we deal with it?"

"Wait and watch the changes, and respond to all changes with the same. Having said that, even if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, we shouldn't be the most anxious, right? And even if we want to send troops to crusade, other people may not be willing. Others Not to mention, our Xuzhou shepherd Liu Bei and Liu Xuande would definitely not welcome us to go south to beg for Yuan."

After defeating Ji Ling's army, Liu Bei entered Xuzhou with an unrivaled posture. Tao Qian wrote to the imperial court to beg for the bones, and offered to recommend Liu Bei to serve as Xuzhou pastor. The imperial court controlled by Diao Chan did not make things difficult for Liu Bei, and directly passed the appointment, so now Liu Bei is the real Xuzhou Mu.

Not only that, in addition to Xuzhou, Liu Bei also has Taishan County and Jibei County in Yanzhou, which are considered to be very few princes among the princes whose actual control area spans the two states.

As Shangji captured Qingzhou, Shangji's jurisdiction began to directly border Liu Bei's jurisdiction. After Liu Bei defeated Ji Lingjun and took back Xiapi County, the first thing he did was to strengthen the defense of Taishan County, Langya County and other counties adjacent to Qingzhou. Power, the fear of Shang Ji can be seen from this.

When Shang Ji wanted to send troops south to attack Yuan Shu, Liu Bei was the first to disagree. Everyone has read the book, who doesn't know the allusion of the false way!
