Countless people from Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others in Jiangnan were dumbfounded when they looked at the burning fires on the river.

"How did the lord do it?"

"This, this is incredible!"

"In this world, I'm afraid only the lord can do this, right?"

"This fire has completely laid the foundation of the lord!"

...

The fire in the river burned for a whole day, and the flames gradually faded.

However, because the fire was too fierce, the wreckage of ships on the river and scorched corpses blocked the entire river.

Therefore, the warships they prepared in advance were not transported to the opposite side at all.

Realize the prepared combat plan and end in failure.

Well, in this case, despite some regrets, their purpose has been achieved.

The alliance of princes has retreated, and their biggest crisis has been completely lifted.

This battle will leave at least one year of rest and recuperation.

Jia Xu even suggested that he could take this opportunity to counterattack Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, and once again seize Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.

However, Jia Xu's proposal was denied by Lu Bu.

Because in the next time, Lu Bu is preparing to develop with peace of mind for a few years.

Now Lu Bu doesn't want to touch Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu will have a greater effect next time.

As for Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, let’s leave it to Yuan Shu for the time being.

When Yuan Shu has almost developed the two counties, it will not be too late for them to take over again.

...

Several major events happened during the retreat of the Alliance of Princes.

Cao Cao joined forces with Liu Biao and took advantage of Yuan Shao's unpreparedness to kill Yuan Shao directly.

Cao Cao took over Yuan Shao's remaining troops directly.

Yuan Shao's advisers, Tian Feng, Ju Su, Feng Ji, Shen Pei.

Tian Feng and Ju Su refused to surrender and were killed by Cao Cao.

Feng Ji and Shen Pei both surrendered to Cao Cao.

Liu Biao was killed by Yuan Shao's generals during the chaos.

Of course, some people say that they were killed by the three brothers Liu Bei.

However, the soldiers who said this quickly disappeared.

The leader of the Jingzhou dragons were taken into account by Liu Bei.

At this point, Cao Cao collected Yuan Shao's troops and returned to Xuzhou, he continued to regain Yuan Shao's territory Jizhou, and his strength expanded sharply.

Yuan Shu has lands among the four counties, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

Liu Bei accepted Jingzhou and took over the strategist Xu Shu under the tent, becoming a rookie.

At this point, the entire Han Dynasty was left with four major princes.

They are Cao Cao in the north, Yuan Shu in the middle, Lu Bu in Jiangdong and Liu Bei in Jingzhou.

Of course, there are many other small princes, such as Gongsun Zan, Liu Zhang, Ma Teng, etc.

However, these princes were subject to many restrictions on territory, troops, terrain, and so had no ability to expand, so they did not harm the overall situation.

At this time, Lu Bu was not prepared to attack Jingzhou, Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.

Although the alliance of princes was defeated, Lu Bu is still on the target of public criticism. If Lu Bu acts rashly, he may be surrounded by several other princes, and the loss will be made.

Therefore, Lu Bu is currently preparing to take Jiaozhou first.

Although Jiaozhou is a barren land with many mountains and few lands, it still has a large population.

Because the Central Plains region is frequently affected by war, the only place where the rabbit in Jiaozhou does not poop is basically not affected by war.

Therefore, Lu Bu is preparing to take over Jiaozhou first and develop with peace of mind for a few years!

...

After Yuan Shu returned, he was still in a very happy mood.

Although the princes attacked Lu Bu in the end in failure, Yuan Shu had gained the land of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County for free, which could be said to have made a lot of money.

As for before, Yuan Shao had occupied four cities and Cao Cao occupied three cities.

But now that Yuan Shao is dead, the city he occupied will naturally belong to Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao had just killed Yuan Shao and was now working hard to digest Yuan Shao's territory in Jizhou, and was unwilling to cause trouble.

Therefore, the three cities occupied by Cao Cao were automatically given up.

Now Yuan Shu has the four counties, not even under Cao Cao, and has become the largest prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, Yuan Shu planned to govern the capital in Shouchun and was full of ambition.

On this day, Yuan Shu was discussing political affairs in the hall, and suddenly the anchor Li Feng came with something excitedly.

"Lord, a few days ago, an old farmer was working in the field and accidentally dug out a treasure! The old farmer did not dare to hide it privately, so he presented it step by step. Please see, this thing turned out to be the jade seal of the country!"

What?

It turned out to be the imperial seal?

This sentence was like pouring a scoop of water into a rolling oil pan, and it was frying in an instant.

Yuan Shu was also very excited and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, present the jade seal of the country!"

Soon, a servant presented the imperial seal.

Yuan Shu grabbed the jade seal and saw the eight big characters engraved on it, "After being ordered by heaven, I will live forever." He was so excited that he couldn't help but feel excited.

At the same time, a irrepressible ambition could not help but grow out of crazily.

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord! This thing came from heaven, and the lord is really the destiny of heaven!"

Ji Ling, the first general under Yuan Shu, was even more direct and couldn't help but say carelessly: "Whoever has the jade seal is the emperor. It seems that the lord is going to be the emperor!"

Jin Shang also hurriedly said, "The jade seal is automatically cast, which shows that the lord is the chosen lord of heaven, lord!"

After hearing the two of them, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Yan Xiang suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, never!"

Um?

This Yan Xiang is so ignorant that she actually stood up and disappointed at this time!

Yuan Shu asked displeasedly: "Yan Xiang, why not?"

Yan Xiang shouted: "Lord, the imperial seal is obviously a thing in the palace! When Dong Zhuo moved to the palace, the seal disappeared. How could it be buried in the ground and obtained by the old farmer?"

"Lord, there must be something tricky about it, there must be conspiracy here! If the lord is called emperor, he will definitely become the target of public criticism and will be in a place of doom!"

When Yuan Shu heard Yan Xiang say this, he became a little nervous again.

Although Yuan Shu really wanted to be the emperor, if he really became the target of public criticism, it would be more than worth the loss.

Yuan Shu couldn't help looking at Pang Tong and asked, "Mr. Shiyuan, I wonder what you think?"

Pang Tong said firmly: "Lord, God will not take it, but will be blamed! The lord should make a decision quickly!"

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed and couldn't help but say: "Okay!"

After hearing Pang Tong's words, Yan Xiang couldn't help but question: "Military advisor, why is the imperial seal buried in the ground? It's such an unreasonable thing. Has the military advisor not thought about it?"

Pang Tong was deeply trusted by Yuan Shu and had been named a military advisor.

Hearing Yan Xiang’s reproach, Pang Tong said disdainfully: “No matter how the imperial seal came from, the fact is that the imperial seal has already reached the lord! May I ask, what should the lord do now according to your wishes?”
