    The envoy sent by Cao Cao soon arrived at Wu County and read out the imperial edict in public.

    Even though he knew the contents of the imperial edict, Sun Quan still felt angry in his heart when he heard it.

    The tone of the imperial edict was harsh, and Sun Quan was asked to immediately lead troops to attack Guangling. If there was a slight delay, the imperial army would come to Jiangdong.

    Sun Quan was young and energetic. He had just inherited Sun Ce's position, and he must have been arrogant. Now that he heard the tone of the imperial edict was so harsh, his rebellious temper came up.

    Sun Quan didn¡¯t want to accept the imperial edict, but Zhang Zhao signaled him, so Sun Quan reluctantly followed it.

    But Sun Quan didn't have a good look at the envoys who read out the imperial edict. Not to mention receiving them warmly, Sun Quan didn't even bother to give them food.

    The several envoys who came here cursed Sun Quan in their hearts, and finally they hurried back to Xudu in despair. Fortunately, they had enough travel arrangements, otherwise it would be a problem whether they could return to Xudu.

    After returning to Xudu, they naturally tried their best to slander Sun Quan in front of Cao Cao, saying how Sun Quan was disrespectful to the court and how disrespectful he was to Cao Cao.

    In short, if there is anything bad to say, they will say bad things. They said that Sun Quan was almost the most bad person in the world.

    After hearing this, Cao Cao was naturally furious.  He even thought about sending troops to fight against Sun Quan.

    Fortunately, Zhang Hong learned the news in time and came to persuade and put in a good word for Sun Quan.  This made Cao Cao temporarily put aside the idea of ??sending troops to Jiangdong.  Then, Cao Cao received the news that Sun Quan sent troops to attack Jiangxia

    As soon as he heard that Sun Quan had gone to provoke Liu Biao, Cao Cao immediately shut up and decided to send troops to deal with Sun Quan.

    For Cao Cao, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Sun Quan goes to fight Gongsun Zan or Liu Biao.  As long as Cao Cao sees the chaos in the south, he can take advantage of it.

    Now Gongsun Zan is in Guangling, holding on to a county. The territory is small and the troops are sufficient. This is a hard nut for Cao Cao to crack, so Cao Cao puts Gongsun Zan aside for the time being.

    So, among the five southern forces, Sun Quan and Liu Biao started fighting, and Gongsun Zan left them alone for the time being, leaving only Yuan Shu of Xuyi and Liu Bei of Xinye.

    Liu Bei is entrenched in Xinye, and the people are attached to him. He is recruiting troops, buying horses, and accumulating grass and grain. It is obvious at a glance that his ambitions are not small.  Moreover, Cao Cao had fought against Liu Bei and was very wary of Liu Bei.

    But Liu Bei is now dependent on someone else, and behind him is Liu Biao.  Now that Sun Quan has gone to confront Liu Biao, Cao Cao is worried that if he takes action against Liu Bei at this time, people will mistakenly think that he and Sun Quan are united to deal with Liu Biao.

    Therefore, Cao Cao felt that he would let Liu Bei play there for the time being, and deal with him later when he had the opportunity.

    "In this way, only one of the five princes is left.

    That is Yuan Shu from Xuyi, Huainan.

    Yuan Shu continued to seek death after escaping from Shouchun to Xuyi. He was reincarnated so many times, but he still did not wake up, did not work hard, and continued to live a life of drunkenness and dreams.

    Cao Cao is sure that even if he doesn't attack Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu won't be able to stand still for long.  From the news returned by the spies, we learned that the people under Yuan Shu's rule were filled with resentment and wanted to overthrow Yuan Shu immediately.

    Cao Cao knew it was time to send troops to completely deal with Yuan Shu.

    He had been keeping Yuan Shu from fighting before because he planned to let others take care of Yuan Shu, while he would take care of the others from behind.

    For this reason, he was called a Han traitor. As an important official of the imperial court, he actually left the false emperor alone and went to attack other Han officials.

    But it was worth being scolded. Cao Cao used Yuan Shu to defeat Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop, improving the environment surrounded by powerful enemies around him.  Make life more comfortable without feeling like someone is pinching your neck every day.

    And now Yuan Shu can be regarded as lingering on his last breath, and his current behavior can be regarded as the madness before death.  The people, ministers and generals under him were all alienated from him. If he didn't take action at this time, Cao Cao was worried that Yuan Shu, the ripe fruit, would be picked.

    Without further ado, Cao Cao ordered his general Xiahou Dun to take command of 30,000 troops and set off from Shouchun to attack Yuan Shu.

    Yuan Shu had less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and his troops were disorganized and morale was low. If he wanted to fight Yuan Shu, Cao Cao felt that 10,000 soldiers and horses would be enough.

    Letting Xiahou Dun lead 30,000 troops was more to guard against sneak attacks by others.

    This time, there is a special person among the people selected for the expedition.

    That is Cao Ang. As a general, he set out with Xiahou Dun to attack Yuan Shu.

    Dealing with Yuan Shu, Xiahou Dun had no choiceWithout any effort, Yuan Shu's men had almost escaped before the army reached Xuyi.

    Most of his generals had fled, and the remaining two or three kittens left the city and surrendered after Xiahou Dun's army arrived.

    As for Yuan Shu, he still wanted to rely on Xuyi City to resist Xiahou Dun's army. In the end, he found that he could not resist it at all. His generals and soldiers all left the city and surrendered. The gates of Xuyi City were wide open, allowing Cao's army to march straight in.

    "Oh, damn it, bastard, bastard"

    Yuan Shu was so angry that he vomited blood. He never imagined that his men would betray him at this critical moment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
