Compared with those who claim to be the emperor and make small fuss, those who really want to be the emperor and have the ability to be the emperor are obviously a little calmer.

After Yuan Shu heard that Liu Xie's army had a great defeat and was captured near Huayin County, he was overjoyed. After being happy, he calmed down instead.

Of course, his calmness is not for whether to be an emperor, but for how to announce to his civil and military officials that he wants to be an emperor.

Liu Xie was captured and his majesty as the Emperor of Han was completely lost. People all over the world began to doubt whether the orthodox Han Dynasty could continue. These days, Yuan Shu himself could feel such an atmosphere.

So, what else to say?

The time has come.

Of course, before officially proclaiming himself emperor, he needs to get the support of civil and military officials who he cannot afford, and those in Shouchun will definitely support him.

So he wrote letters to Guo Peng, Tao Qian and Sun Ce respectively, asking them in a roundabout way whether they could be emperors.

Rather than supporting a defeated puppet as an emperor, why not supporting a powerful Yuan Gaolu as an emperor?

Yuan Gonglu will definitely give you great benefits as the emperor!

You must believe me.

At the end of May of the second year of Xingping, Guo Peng held a military parade in the Jizhou training camp to inspect the military training results, and received a handwritten letter from Yuan Shu from the rear.

At the beginning, Yuan Shu asked about Guo Peng’s recent situation, whether there were any difficult things to need his help, and then symbolically asked about the situation of government affairs handling, etc.

Later, after a change of topic, Yuan Shu and Guo Peng talked about the emperor's recent situation.

Yuan Shu said that the emperor was in poor condition recently, and he was very worried. He felt that it would be very dangerous for the Han Dynasty to continue like this, and would be completely controlled by the people of Liangzhou and turn into a purgatory.

So Yuan Shu wanted to come forward to save the Han Dynasty and save the people from water and fire.

However, it takes a name to save the Han Dynasty and save the people from water and fire, and the emperor is in the hands of the people of Liangzhou.

If the people of Liangzhou turn black and white in the name of the emperor and declare that Yuan Shu is a rebel, then Yuan Shu's situation will be very bad.

So Yuan Shu thought that in order to avoid this, a truly meaningful name is needed, a name that Liangzhou people cannot interfere.

Then Yuan Shu began to tell Guo Peng that he had encountered Qilin in Huainan before, and that the sorcerer said that he had the fate of becoming the emperor, and even revealed the existence of the imperial seal for Guo Peng to know.

Finally, he said that the Han Dynasty had declined. In order to save the people and the people, he was willing to set an example, devote his whole life to become emperor, and shoulder the responsibility of the rise and fall of the world with all his strength.

I hope Guo Peng must support him.

After reading this letter, Guo Peng silently put down the letter, took a deep breath, and then let out this breath deeply.

Finally, this day has arrived.

Yuan Gaolu, I finally waited for this day!

Do you know how long I have been looking forward to this day?

Yuan Highway, Yuan Highway, you didn’t disappoint me! You are so awesome!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Guo Peng almost couldn't help but feel excited. He wanted to use a set of Thomas Quanxuan to express his excitement on the spot. Finally, he forced his joy to force him to hold back. Guo Peng seriously burned the letter to ashes.

Then I seriously thought about how to write a reply to Yuan Shu.

I have to say that this kind of thing must be taken seriously.

If you are not careful, you will leave a reputation for supporting Yuan Shu as the emperor.

That is completely inconsistent with your own personality, which is likely to collapse and is not conducive to future actions.

Although if he could be called emperor in the end, he might be able to tamper with history and not let future generations know about it, Guo Peng could not guarantee that the winner in the end would be himself.

If you accidentally make a mistake, you will be the second best person in Wang Mang. Even if you want to be an emperor, you cannot follow Wang Mang's path. That would be too destructive.

In the original history, Guo Peng knew that when Yuan Shu decided to be emperor, Lu Bu did not express his opinion, and Sun Ce raised objections, but Yuan Shu ignored him.

These two people are not strong and have a high status, so they cannot be greatly valued by Yuan Shu.

But Guo Peng is different. He holds heavy troops and has great power. Yuan Shu cannot ignore his opinions. If Guo Peng clearly objected, Yuan Shu would probably be a bit jealous of the mouse.

But Guo Peng could not object, and it was impossible to cause trouble.

Oppose cannot be opposed, and support cannot be made public. What you should do most is not to put the demographic into the real person. You cannot write things like reply letters that are easy to put the demographic into the real person.

So Guo Peng simply announced to the public that he had received the invitation from Wuwan Da Shanyu Nanlou, and wanted to go to Shanggu County to meet and socialize with Nanlou, and then he had to go to Ji County to have a conversation with Youzhou Governor Xian Yufu.

So Guo Peng went all the way up the valley, delaying time and not responding. At the same time, he secretly instructed Cheng Yu to give him money, food and luxury goods on time when Yuan Shu was anxious.

Let’s see if Yuan Shu can get his hint and then decisively become emperor.

Guo Peng hopes that Yuan Shu can get his hints, know his difficulties in character design, and understand his difficulties.

Of course, Guo Peng hopes that Yuan Shu can be more decisive and send someone to Hongnong to find a way to assassinate Liu Xie.

He can assassinate Liu Chong and dare to assassinate Yuan Shao. It’s not impossible for the emperor to try that place, right?

Although the protection the emperor received must be far above Yuan Shao and Liu Chong, the possibility of success was extremely low.

But Guo Peng was not sure and dared not say that Yuan Shu would do that, and Guo Peng felt that Yuan Shu would not do that.

If Yuan Shu really became emperor, he might have allowed Liu Xie to live and be his "Shanyang Gong" to show the grandeur of the new dynasty.

But this is something that Mr. Guo cannot accept.

Some things are more reliable after all.

Yuan Shu had to drag it down until Yuan Shu was impatient and became emperor first, then he threw a super high position to win over him. He was flatly rejected by him, showing his noble character.

This is the most suitable.

Guo Peng went north and used the drag-on technique.

It is not so convenient for Tao Qian and Sun Ce. They don’t have a broad strategic depth like Guo Peng that can be used to evade Yuan Shu. They will almost give an answer soon.

Tao Qian received a reply from Yuan Shu and was shocked and immediately called his subordinates to discuss the matter. When his subordinates learned about this, they were all shocked.

They couldn't help but be shocked. After all, it was a major event for the change of dynasties. Every change of dynasties in history has not been smooth and there will inevitably be people who die, some bleeding, and some redistribution.

Whether it was a confidant or a local, they were surprised by this, looking at each other, and they didn't know what to say.

Chen Deng naturally didn't know that although he had such a guess, he really didn't have the preparations for what he should do when this day really came, and stood there on the spot for a moment.

The same was true for Tao Qian's confidant Cao Hong. He scanned Yuan Shu's letter and was shocked, frowned, and sweated on his back.

"This matter is too big. I never expected that Yuan Gonglu would dare to say what you think at this time...."

My subordinates, look at me, and I look at you, no one dares to be the first to express their opinions.

Finally, Tao Qian and others were impatient and called Cao Hong's name, asking Cao Hong to express their opinions first.

When Cao Hong saw that he had no choice but to step forward with a tough bullet.

"Ming Gong, according to Hong, this matter is too big and we cannot make a decision in a hasty way."

"I naturally know that this is very important, and I am asking you how I should do it!"

Tao Qian looked at Cao Hong with a bad look.

Cao Hong thought about it and was very embarrassed.

"Although the emperor was defeated and captured and was completely impressed, he was still the emperor after all. Duan Wei and Zhang Ji did not depose the emperor and still respected the emperor. Although there were many doubts in the world, no one took the lead in not recognizing the emperor. Yuan Gonglu was the first."

Tao Qian frowned: "What do you mean is Yuan Gaolu doing this to be a big mistake?"

“That’s true.”

Cao Hong said, "Although the emperor's majesty is gone and the people in the world change their minds, the Han family for four hundred years cannot change by changing. There are many court officials around the emperor, and they come from various gentry. They have not left the emperor yet, which means that the emperor still has their support, and they just don't have military strength."

Tao Qian pondered for a while and nodded slightly.

"What you said makes sense, then, Yuanlong, what do you think?"
