"Order a withdrawal."
After experiencing the initial anger, Cao Cao calmed down a lot.
Tao Qian held on to the death, and Zhang Miao and others attacked Dongjun from behind. They had little food, and if this continued, they would be in a dilemma.
Now that Marquis Guanjun has gained power and entered Jingzhou, although he is unwilling to do so, if he does not retreat, Marquis Guanjun will take advantage of the situation and invade Xuzhou in the future, and the world will fall into the hands of Marquis Guanjun.
Cao Cao slaughtered five cities and failed to capture Tancheng after a long siege. He finally retreated and returned to Yanzhou.
Upon hearing that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops from Xuzhou, Zhang Miao and others also stopped and dared not attack other counties in Yanzhou.
The areas of Yanzhou and Xuzhou fell into a brief period of peace because Cao Cao withdrew his troops. Several princes were recovering, and Tao Qian was still worried.
No one knows what the scene will be like when the next storm comes.
…
Nanyang.
Yuan Shu carefully admired the colorful imperial seal in front of him, his eyes full of longing and desire.
The attack on Sun Jian was for this imperial seal.
Feeling the majestic aura in the jade seal, the joy on Yuan Shu's face became distorted, his desire for power reached its peak, and his ambition expanded to the extreme.
The dragon energy that entered his body in the past made his ambition expand unprecedentedly. Later, Liu Xie was assassinated, and the Han Dynasty was left without an emperor, and the world was in turmoil.
With the imperial seal in hand, destiny is in my hands.
"Congratulations, sir, on obtaining the imperial seal." Zhang Xun stepped forward to congratulate.
"Congratulations, sir."
Below the table, Qiao Rui, Yang Hong, Shu's nephew Yuan Yin and others congratulated him. Yan Xiang remained silent at the table, frowning, and ultimately did not say what was in his mind.
Yuan Shu laughed out loud at the compliment from his subordinates.
"I possess the aura of a dragon, and now hold the imperial seal. The destiny of heaven rests with me. Tell me, is this heaven hinting at something I should do in these troubled times?"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked and their eyes flickered.
"Now that the Han Emperor is dead, the world is in turmoil. Your Excellency has the mandate of heaven on his shoulders and must be the son of destiny." Zhang Xun said loudly.
"Well, well, well. Today, the Emperor Liu died suddenly, and the country is in turmoil. My Yuan family has been a senior official for four generations, and we have unparalleled prestige among the people. Now the dragon energy has entered my body, and the jade seal is in my hand. Following the will of heaven and the will of the people, I will ascend the throne and become the emperor. What do you think?" Yuan Shu said proudly.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiang, who was sitting beside him, was shocked.
"My lord, no."
"Why?"
"Though the emperor is dead, the people are still Han. The Zhou people, before King Wen, accumulated merits from generation to generation, controlling two-thirds of the empire and remaining vassals of the Shang. While your lord, the Yuan family, has held high positions for generations, their merits and virtues cannot compare to those of the Zhou. With the Han Dynasty in decline and the princes at odds, it would be inappropriate to claim the throne at this time."
"Hmph, what's wrong with that? The world can have the surname Ji, the surname Ying, the surname Liu, so why can't it have the surname Yuan? Liu Bang is just a Qin village chief, far inferior to my Yuan family. Why can't I be emperor?"
Yuan Shu ignored him and immediately gave a firm order.
"I possess the dragon's energy and the destiny of heaven. Today, I will announce to the world that I have ascended the throne as emperor. The name of the country will be Chen, and I will be the emperor of the Zhong family."
Yuan Shu held high the imperial seal, inheriting the destiny of heaven and earth and the law of cause and effect.
As soon as the words were spoken, a system prompt resounded throughout China.
