However, Yuan Shu was in Huainan, with a lot of land and a lot of grain, and a jade seal made by Sun Ce, so he thought of usurping the title of emperor. The meeting group discussed: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han was only a pavilion head on the Si side, but he had the world. Now, four hundred years have passed, and the country has been filled with energy. My family has four generations and three dukes, and the people have returned. I am the one who is in Tianshun, and I am in charge of the nineteenth position. What do you think?" The chief clerk said: "No. In the past, the Zhou Hou Ji accumulated virtue and merit, and it was the end of the world.

King Wen divided the two of the world, and he was still serving the Yin. Although the Ming Gong had a noble family background, it was not as prosperous as the Zhou Dynasty; although the Han Dynasty was small, it was not as violent as the Zhou Dynasty. This matter was absolutely impossible." Shu said angrily: "My surname Yuan came from Chen. Chen was the descendant of Dashun. He used earth to inherit fire, and responded to his fortune. He also said: Those who replaced the Han Dynasty should be high. My name is the high-level person, and responded to his prophecy. There was also a jade seal for the country. If he did not serve as the king, he would be against the way of heaven. My intention was decided.

, those who talk a lot will behead you!" So he established the title of Zhong, established officials such as Taizhou Province, rode a dragon and phoenix chariot, worshiped the north and south suburbs, made Feng Fangnu the queen and made his son the Eastern Palace. He ordered the envoy to take Lu Bu's daughter as the concubine of the Eastern Palace, but heard that Bu had transferred Han Yin to Xudu and was beheaded by Cao Cao, and was furious. He then appointed Zhang Xun as the general, led more than 200,000 troops, and divided into seven routes to conquer Xuzhou: the first general Zhang Xun was in the middle, the second general Qiao Rui was in the left, and the third

The general Chen Ji on the road was on the right, Lei Bo on the fourth line was on the left, Chen Lan on the fifth line was on the right, Han Xian on the sixth line was on the left, Yang Feng on the right, and Yang on the seventh line was on the right. The powerful generals under his command were led by the commander of the Yanzhou Governor Jin Shang was appointed as the Grand Marshal, who was responsible for the transportation of seven routes of money and grain. Shang did not follow, so Shu killed him. Ji Ling was appointed as the commander of the seven routes to rescue the commander of the seven routes. Shu led 30,000 troops, and sent Li Feng and Liang Gang and Le to urge the commander to support the troops of the seven routes.

Lu Bu sent someone to find out that Zhang Xun and his army took Xuzhou from a large path, Qiao Rui and his army took Xiaopei, Chen Ji and his army took Yidu, Lei Bo and his army took Langya, Chen Lan and his army took Jieshi, Han Xian and his army took Xia Pi, and Yang Feng took Junshan: seven troops, horses, traveled fifty miles a day, and plundered the future on the road. He urgently summoned all the advisers to discuss, and Chen Gong and Chen Gui and his son arrived. Chen Gong said, "The disaster in Xuzhou was caused by Chen Gui and his son, who begged the court for titles and salaries. Today, the disaster was transferred to the general. The two people could be killed to offer Yuan Shu, and the army retreated." Bu listened to his words,

He immediately ordered Chen Gui to capture Chen Gui, and Chen Deng. Chen Deng laughed and said, "Why are you so cowardly? I look at the seven-way soldiers, like seven piles of rotten grass, why should I mind!" Bu said, "If you have a plan to defeat the enemy, you will be punished for death." Chen Deng said, "If the general uses my words, Xuzhou can be safe." Bu said, "Try to say it." Deng said, "Although the martial arts soldiers are numerous, they are all chaotic troops, and I have never believed in it. I will defend them with the right soldiers and use surprise troops to defeat them, and they will all succeed. There is another plan, not only to protect Xuzhou, but also to capture Yuan Shu alive." Bu said, "Will the plan come out?"

Deng said, "Han Xian, Yang Feng was an old minister of the Han Dynasty. He was afraid of Cao Cao and had no home to support him. He returned to Yuan Shu for a while. The craft must be light, and he was not happy to use it. If he built a letter with a ruler and made an internal response, and Liu Bei would be connected with external cooperation, he would have to capture Yuan Shu." Bu said, "You must go to Han Xian in person, and Yang Feng sent a letter." Chen Deng promised. Bu then published Shang Xudu and wrote a letter to Yuzhou. Then he ordered Chen Deng to lead several cavalry and waited for Han Xian on Xia Pi Road. He retreated and led his troops to come. After the camp, Deng came in to see him. Xian asked, "You are a man from Lu Bu, why are you here?" Deng laughed and said, "You are a man from Lu Bu, why are you here?"

: "I was a great Han minister, what is the man of Lu Bu? If a general is a Han minister, Xiang is a minister of the Han Dynasty. Now he is a minister of the rebels, and the achievements of Guanzhong in the past have turned into nothing, and he is a general who is not taken. Moreover, Yuan Shu is the most suspicious, so the general will be harmed by him. If he doesn't plan early, he regrets it!" Xian sighed and said, "I want to return to the Han Dynasty, but I hate that I have no way to go." Deng then wrote a book. After reading the book, Xian said, "I already know it. You will return first. I will fight back with General Yang. But I see that the fire is a call, and Wen Hou can match the army." Deng left Siang and urgently replied to Lu Bu.

Bu then divided his troops into five groups, Gao Shun led an army into Xiaopei, and the enemy Qiaorui; Chen Gong led an army into Yidu, and the enemy Chen Ji; Zhang Liao and Zang Ba led an army out of Langya, and the enemy Lei Bo; Song Xian and Wei Xu led an army out of Jieshi, and the enemy Chen Lan; Lu Bu led an army out of the Dao, and the enemy Zhang Xun. Each led 10,000 troops, and the rest defended the city. Lu Bu left the city and went to the camp for thirty miles. Zhang Xun's army arrived, and expected that the enemy Lu Bu would not retreat and stay in 20 miles, waiting for the troops from all over to respond.

At the second update of that night, Han Xian and Yang Feng divided their troops to set fire everywhere and brought the Lu family army into the camp. Xun's army was in chaos. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to cover up and killed him. Zhang Xun was defeated. Lu Bu rushed to dawn and was hitting Ji Ling to meet him. The two armies were waiting for the confrontation. Han Xian and Yang Feng came to fight. Ji Ling was defeated and left. Lu Bu led his troops to chase him. A army behind the mountain arrived. At the opening of the gate, he saw a team of troops, fighting dragons, phoenixes, sun, moon, flags, four battles and five directions of flags, and gold

Under the cover of the melon and silver axe, yellow yue and white tassels, under the golden umbrella, Yuan Shu was wearing golden armor, hanging two swords on his wrist, standing in front of the formation, cursing: "Lu Bu, carry the master's slave!" Bu was angry and pushed his halberd forward. Shu general Li Feng came to meet him with his spear; he was not fighting three times, and was stabbed by Bu, Feng abandoned his spear and left. Lu Bu led his troops to fight, and Shu army was in chaos. Lu Bu led the army to chase after him from behind and robbed countless horses and armor. Yuan Shu led the defeated army, but could not walk for several miles, and the mountain was back

Later, a Biao army left and intercepted the way. The first general was Guan Yunchang and shouted, "Rebel!" He still won't die!" Yuan Shu walked away in panic, and the rest of the people fled in all directions and were killed by Yunchang for a while. Yuan Shu took charge of the defeated army and rushed back to Huainan. Lu Bu was victorious and invited Yunchang and Yang Feng, Han Xian and others to Xuzhou to take charge of the banquet, and the soldiers were rewarded. The next day, Yunchang left. Bubao Han Xian was the Muslim of Yidu and Yang Feng was the Muslim of Yang Feng.

Langya Mu discussed and wanted to keep the two people in Xuzhou. Chen Gui said, "No. Han and Yang occupy Shandong. If they are less than a year, then the Shandong Chengdu will be generals." Bu later sent the two generals to Yidu for a while, and they stationed in two places in Langya to wait for their orders. Chen Deng asked his father privately, "Why not leave the two people in Xuzhou to kill Lu Bu?" Gui said, "If the two assisted Lu Bu, they would add claws to the tiger." Deng then obeyed his father's high opinion.

However, Yuan Shu was defeated and returned to Huainan, and sent someone to Jiangdong to ask Sun Ce for his troops to take revenge. Ce said angrily, "You rely on my jade seal, usurped the emperor's title, and rebelled against the Han Dynasty. I am ruthless! I want to increase the army and ask for punishment, how can I help the rebels?" So he wrote a letter to stop him. The envoy brought the letter back to see Yuan Shu. After reading it, he said, "Why dare you be so? I will attack him first!" Chief General Yang strongly advised Fang Shu. However, after Sun Ce spontaneously sent a letter to prevent Yuan Shu's troops from coming and guarding Jiangkou. Suddenly, Cao Cao sent an envoy to be the prefect of Kuaiji and ordered him to raise an army to fight against Yuan Shu. Ce then discussed and wanted to raise an army. Chief Zhang Zhao said, "Although Shu was newly defeated, there were many soldiers and enough food, he should not underestimate the enemy. It is better to write Cao Cao's letter to him and persuade him to fight south. I responded to the following: the two armies support each other, and the Shu army will be defeated. If there is any mistake, I hope Cao will rescue him." Ce followed his words and sent an envoy to express his intention to Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao came to Xudu, thought of Mudian Wei, and set up a sacrifice to him. He appointed his son Dianman as the Central Lang and adopted him in the palace. Suddenly, he reported that Sun Ce sent an envoy to write a letter. Cao read it. Someone reported that Yuan Shu had no food and plundered Chenliu. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack him, so he launched an army to fight south. He ordered Cao Ren to guard Xudu, and the rest were all on the expedition: 170,000 horses and infantry, and more than a thousand chariots of food and supplies. On the one hand, he first sent someone to meet Sun Ce and Liu Bei and Lu Bu. The troops arrived at the boundary of Yuzhou. Xuande had already led his troops to welcome him. Cao ordered him to enter the camp. After meeting him, Xuande offered two heads. Cao was shocked and said, "Who is this head?" Xuande said, "This is Han Xian, Yang Feng's head." Cao said, "Why are you?"

"Would you get it?" Xuande said, "Lu Bu ordered the two of them to live in Yidu and Langya counties. Unexpectedly, the two of them led their troops to plunder the people, and everyone complained. Therefore, he said a banquet and asked for the matter: "When you drink, throw a cup as a call, and send a pass to Guan, Zhang's second brother killed him, and surrendered all the people. Now I come to apologize for the crime." Cao said, "You are a great contribution to eliminate harm to the country, so why do you say that you are guilty?" So he worked hard for Xuande and joined forces to Xuzhou. Lu Bu went out to greet him, Cao spoke kindly and comforted him, and appointed him as the left general. When he returned to the capital, he exchanged seals and ribbons. Bu was very happy. Cao immediately divided Lu Bu's army on the left, Xuande's army on the right, and he led the army in the middle, and ordered Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin as the vanguard.

Yuan Shu knew that Cao's troops had arrived, so he ordered the general Qiao Rui to lead 50,000 troops as a vanguard. The two armies met at the Shouchun Corridor. Qiao Rui took the lead and fought with Xiahou Dun. He was killed by Xiahou Dun. Shu's army was defeated and ran back to the city. Suddenly, Sun Ce sent a ship to attack the west side of the river, Lu Bu led his troops to attack the east side, Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang led troops to attack the south side, Cao led 170,000 troops to attack the north side. Shu was shocked and gathered a group of civil and military personnel to discuss. General Yang said, "Shouchun."

After years of floods and drought, people are short of food; now they are mobilized to disturb the people, and the people are resentful and it is difficult to resist the enemy. It is better to stay in Shouchun without fighting with them; when the troops and food are exhausted, there will be changes. Your Majesty will command the Imperial Guards to cross the Huai River, one will be familiar with one, and the other will temporarily avoid their sharpness." The Shu used his words, and left Li Feng, Leju, Liang Gang and Chen Ji, and divided the troops into 100,000 to defend Shouchun; the rest of the generals and soldiers were hiding gold and jade treasures, and they all packed up the Huai River.

However, Cao said that Cao's troops had 170,000 yuan, and the daily food was expended. The counties were famined and drought, and the support was not enough. Cao urged the army to fight quickly, but Li Feng and others stayed away. Cao's army refused for more than a month, and the food was about to be exhausted. He wrote to Sun Ce and borrowed 100,000 hu of grain rice, which was not enough to be distributed. Wang Wu, the official in charge of grain, reported to Cao, "There are more soldiers and less food, what should I do?" Cao said, "You can disband it, and save the power for a while." Wu said, "What if the soldiers are resentful?" Cao said, "I have my own strategy." Wu followed his order and dispersed it with small hu. Cao secretly sent people to investigate in each village, and all complained, and they all said to the Chief

The other party deceived the crowd. Cao then secretly summoned Wang Wu and said, "I want to ask you to borrow something to suppress the hearts of the people. Don't be stingy." Wu said, "What do you want to use?" Cao said, "I want to borrow your head to show everyone." Wu said, "I really have no guilt!" Cao said, "I also know that you are not guilty, but if you don't kill you, the army will change. After you die, I will support you, so don't worry." When Wu wanted to speak again, Cao called the knife and axe driver to push out of the door, cut it with one knife, hung his head and rod, and came out of the list and said, "Wang Wu was doing a small hu of money, stealing official grain, and following the military law." Then the people's grievances began to resolve.

The next day, Cao ordered the generals of each battalion: "If they do not break the city within three days, they will behead them!" Cao personally went to the city to supervise the army to move soil and stones, fill the moats and block the trenches. The arrows and stones on the city were like rain, and two subordinate generals avoided them. Cao pulled his sword and killed them at the city, and then got off his horse and got the soil and filled the pits. So all the soldiers from all over the world moved forward, and the army was greatly promoted. The enemy could not resist the enemy in the city, and Cao's troops rushed to the city first, and the gates were cut off, and the brigade rushed in. Li Feng, Chen Ji, Leju, and Liang Gang were all captured alive, and Cao ordered them to beheaded in the city. Burning.

Forged palaces and palaces, all things that were violated by the forbidden object; the city of Shouchun was plundered. They discussed trying to advance to cross the Huai River and chase Yuan Shu. Xun Yu advised: "There are droughts and food in the years, and it is difficult to get more troops. If you advance more, it may not be beneficial to work hard to harm the people. It is better to return to Xudu temporarily. In the future, the wheat will be ripe and the military rations are sufficient to make it happen." Cao hesitated and reported that the horse arrived. He reported: "Zhang Xiu relied on Liu Biao and was rampant again. Nanyang and Jiangling counties rebelled again; Cao Hong could not resist the enemy and lost several times in a row. Now he came to report that he was anxious.

." Cao then sent a letter to Sun Ce and asked him to cross the river to set up a formation, thinking that Liu Biao was suspicious of his troops, so he did not dare to act rashly. He set up his troops today and discussed the matter of conquering Zhang Xiu. Before leaving, he ordered Xuande to station troops in Xiaopei, and became brothers with Lu Bu, and helped each other, and no longer invaded each other. Lu Bu led his troops back to Xuzhou. Caomi said to Xuande: "I ordered you to station troops in Xiaopei. This is a plan to dig a pit to wait for the tiger. Gong, but he discussed with Chen Gui and his son, and do not make any mistakes. He should be a foreign aid for the public." After saying that, he parted. However, Cao Cao led his troops back to Xudu

, people reported Duan Wei to kill Li Jue, Wu Xi killed Guo Si, and offered his head to offer. Duan Wei also sent more than 200 old and old members of the Li Jue clan into Xudu. Cao ordered to be executed at each gate, and the head was passed on, and the people praised him. The emperor promoted the palace, gathered civil and military officials, and held a banquet for Taiping. Duan Wei was appointed as the general of the destruction of the enemy, and Wu Xi was appointed as the general of the enemy, and each led his troops to guard Chang'an. The two of them thanked him for their kindness. Cao immediately reported Zhang Xiu to cause trouble and he was supposed to launch an army to attack him. The emperor personally arranged the imperial carriage and sent Cao out. It was in April of the summer of the third year of Jian'an.

Cao left Xun Yu in Xudu, dispatched troops and generals to advance from the army. After the march, he saw that the wheat was ripe all the way; the people fled because of the arrival of the army and did not dare to cut the wheat. Cao sent people to tell the villagers and elders from all over the village, and officials from all over the country, saying, "I am following the emperor's decree to send troops to fight against rebellion and eliminate harm to the people. Now when the wheat is ripe, I have to raise an army. All the generals and generals who have passed through the wheat field, but trampled on them will be beheaded. The military law is very strict, so the people will not be surprised and suspicious." When the people heard the edict, they all praised happily and looked at the dust and covered the road and worshiped. The officials passed by the wheat field, and all the officials dismounted their horses and held the wheat with their hands, and passed by them, and did not dare to trample on them. Cao was walking on a horse, and suddenly a dove emerged from the field. The urethra was growing and rushed into the wheat field, and destroyed a large piece of wheat field. Cao called the chief clerk of the army and proposed

The chief clerk said, "How can the Prime Minister discuss the crime?" Cao said, "I have made my own laws, and I have violated them, how can I convince the public?" He immediately pulled the sword he wore and wanted to commit suicide. The crowd first aided Guo Jia, "The meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period: The law is not added to the honor. The Prime Minister and the President's army, how can I kill myself?" Cao pondered for a long time, and then said, "Since there is a law that does not add to the honor, I am exempted from death." So he cut his hair with a sword and threw it on the ground and said, "Cut the hair power instead of the head." He sent someone to tell the three armies with his hair, saying, "The Prime Minister should be beheaded, but now he cuts his hair to replace it." So the three armies were frightened and all followed the military orders. Later generations discussed it by saying, "One hundred thousand Pixiu, one hundred thousand hearts, and one person could not ban it. Drawing his sword and cutting his hair power as the head, but he saw Cao Man's deceitful tricks."

However, Zhang Xiu knew that Cao led his troops, so he rushed to send a letter to Liu Biao, and sent him to respond. On the other hand, Zhang Xian led his troops out of the city to meet the enemy. The two sides faced each other, and Zhang Xiu took out his horse and pointed at Cao and scolded him, "You are a man who is kind and righteous and shameless, what is different from beasts!" Cao was furious and ordered Xu Chu to take out the horse. Xiu ordered Zhang Xian to take the battle. Only three times, Xu Chu beheaded Zhang Xian on the horse, and Xiu's army was defeated. Cao led his army to the bottom of Nanyang City. Xiu entered the city and stayed in the door. Cao besieged the city and attacked the city.

Seeing that the moat was very wide and the water was deep, it was difficult to approach the city. So he ordered the soldiers to transport soil to fill the moat. He also used a cloth bag and firewood, firewood and grass to mix it, and made a stool on the edge of the city. He also stood a cloud ladder to look into the city. Cao rode his horse around the city to see it for three days. He ordered the soldiers to pile up firewood and firewood on the corner of the west gate, gathered the generals, and went up to the city. Seeing this, Jia Xu in the city said to Zhang Xiu, "I know what Cao Cao meant. Now I can use the plan and go through it."
