"System prompt: Attention, players! Yuan Shu has declared himself emperor, naming his country [Chen] and his reign [Zhongxing]."

As soon as the system prompt came out, the same picture appeared in front of all players except those who were still in Kunlun Ruins.

Yuan Shu offered sacrifices to heaven, performed the rites of an emperor, changed the system of the dynasty, and said during the sacrifice: Yuan came from Chen, and Chen was the descendant of Shun. Han was the virtue of fire, and earth inherited fire, so it was in line with destiny. The one who would replace Han would be a high-ranking official.

After a brief screen transition, the system prompts reappearance.

"System prompt: All players, please note that the State of Chen has been established. Its territory encompasses the two counties of Nanyang and Jiangxia in Jingzhou, half of Runan County in Yuzhou, and half of Yingchuan County."

"System reminder: All players, please note that the territory of Chen State is blessed by the destiny of heaven and earth, and spiritual energy is gathering. Players in Chen State will see their cultivation speed increased, the number of Chen State refugees spawning will increase, and the probability of talented people appearing will increase."

Yuan Shu's declaration of emperorship shocked the world.

Many princes were in this chaotic time. Although the Han emperor was dead, they dared to call themselves kings but not emperors.

Yuan Shu was ambitious and became the first person to try something new.

…

"The second brother is confused." Yuan Shao sighed and shook his head when he heard that Yuan Shu had declared himself emperor.

He and Yuan Shu had the same father but different mothers, and they had been at odds since childhood, but they were from the same clan and were not mortal enemies. Although the Han emperor was dead, the princes of the world could compete for supremacy, but the Liu family's influence still existed, and it would be premature to declare himself emperor at this time.

"Everyone, what should we do now?" Yuan Shao asked those seated.

There were Guo Tu, Xu You, Ju Su who was captured by Han Fu after surrendering, Xun Yu's brother Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xin Pi, Wang Xiu and others, who looked at each other.

During the banquet, Xu You stepped forward and said, "Sir, we need not concern ourselves with Yuan Gonglu's claim to the throne. The threat from Gongsun Zan in the north is growing more serious. Gongsun Du is the King of Liaodong, and Gongsun Zan dominates Youzhou and northern Jizhou. This is detrimental to your rule."

"Otherwise, Chen thinks we should attack Cao Cao first. Cao Cao is a man with ambitions to be a hero. He has just been defeated and fled from Xuzhou, and his army is not strong. If we subdue Cao Cao first, we will have one less opponent in the Central Plains." Xun Chen immediately refuted Xu You.

"Cao Cao is cruel and ruthless. If we attack him, we will surely suffer losses. Now the Gongsun family is besieging Liu Yu. If we do not care, when Liu Yu is defeated, the Gongsun family will march south and Jizhou will be in danger. We need to resolve our worries, take the corner of Youzhou, stabilize the rear, and then plan for the Central Plains." Xu You said proudly.

"Yes."

Guo Tu and others echoed this.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao nodded.

"Cao Cao is weak. We can attack him and take him. We can also do the same as Yuan Shu, which will be beneficial to our plans for the Central Plains."

"Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and all the princes were outraged. Yuan Shu is arrogant and has always been at odds with you. Why should we help him? It would be better to let Yuan Shu and you suffer losses together. After we stabilize the north, we can store grain and grow stronger, and then plan to rule the world." Xu You said.

Xun Chen just sighed and was unable to refute.

Gongsun Zan needs to be eliminated, and Cao Cao also needs to be on guard against. It's just a matter of choice.

"Attack Gongsun first."

Yuan Shao finally adopted Xu You's strategy.

…

Upon hearing that Yuan Shu had declared himself emperor, Cao Cao, who had just returned to Yanzhou and was still recuperating and reorganizing his army, almost laughed out of anger.

Yuan Lao Er is so reckless.

Even a powerful man like Marquis Guanjun, who had Princess Wannian as his wife, did not dare to proclaim himself emperor. But Yuan Shu actually dared to proclaim himself emperor at this time, in the two places of Jing and Yu, which were located among the princes.

The last time the Yuan family showed their incompetence was when Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin to lead Dong Zhuo into the capital, and now Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor again.

The family, with three dukes for four generations and reputation spread throughout the Han territory, was now about to be completely consumed by the two brothers.

"Gather the army and march west to first seize Jiyin, Dongjun, Henei and Chenliu, and then attack Yuan Shu." Cao Cao ordered.

One major factor in the failure of the Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou was that Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others took advantage of the situation and invaded, preventing him from concentrating on attacking Xuzhou, leading to his defeat.

Now that I have returned to reorganize the army, I must first resolve my worries.

Yuan Shu must be conquered, and he must offer sacrifices to heaven and be proclaimed emperor. Heaven and earth will recognize him as a country, carrying the destiny of heaven and earth. If the country is destroyed, the destiny of the country can be divided.

…

Yuan Laoer made a stupid move.

When they learned that Yuan Shu had seized the imperial seal and proclaimed himself emperor, everyone in Hanjiang City burst into laughter.

They were just worrying about how to legitimately seize Jiangxia when Yuan Shu presented them with a legitimate reason. Without any hesitation, all his advisors agreed to attack Yuan Shu.

Lin Han ordered the army to lead the army in person.

Liu Xie had just died, and Han officials were still around, and he still had influence. If he proclaimed himself emperor at this time, he would certainly be a target of criticism from the princes. He could then legitimately attack Yuan Shu.

Lin Han personally led his army and the Demon Guards from Lujiang to Jiangxia.

The Demon Guards were extremely powerful, and with Marquis Guanjun leading the way, as soon as they entered Jiangxia, they were welcomed by the people who opened the city gates.

He once served as the prefect of Jiangxia, but was later transferred. However, among the people, the time when Lin Han was in power was the happiest time. People sometimes miss him, but his prestige remains unchanged.

At this time, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, but was unpopular. Marquis Guanjun led his troops to attack. When the people of Jiangxia heard of Marquis Guanjun's name, they opened the city walls to welcome him.

Lin Han took over the four cities of Qichun, Xiazhi, Exian and Zhuxian with almost no effort, and marched straight to Xiling.

Marquis Guanjun personally led his troops to destroy Yuan Shu.

This incident caused a huge wave.

Yuan Shu's subordinates were in chaos.

Even they did not expect that after becoming emperor, they had only a few days of good life before they were attacked by the troops led by Marquis Guanjun, and four cities were captured without losing a single soldier.

Only then did Yuan Shu realize that his decision to declare himself emperor was too reckless, but it was too late.

After the Marquis of Guanjun joined the attack on Yuan Shu, Lü Bu of Bingzhou announced his march south to declare war on Yuan Shu. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, declared a break with Yuan Shu and sent Sun Ce to lead his army against him.

All of a sudden, all the princes came out and besieged Yuan Shu.

Destroy the country and fight for destiny.

There is no emperor in Han territory. If you become emperor at this time, you can inherit the fortune of heaven and earth, but you also bear the consequences of cause and effect. If the country is destroyed, the fortune will be divided. Let's see who can get more of Yuan Shu's Chen State's fortune.
