Although there are not too many princes in the world today, in addition to Liu Biao, there are also nearly a dozen princes such as Liu Feng and Cao Cao, but only Liu Biao is so angry.

This is not because Liu Biao is eager for justice, but the main reason is interests.

As the shepherd of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was in charge of all military and political matters in Jingzhou, including the taxes paid to him by various counties and counties.

As a county under Jingzhou, Nanyang was naturally under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou Mu. It also had to pay taxes to Jingzhou and increase Liu Biao's income.

However, with Yuan Shu ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor in Nanyang County, Nanyang County will inevitably become independent from Jingzhou, and Liu Biao will no longer be able to obtain any benefit from Nanyang.

Although before this, Nanyang had listened to the instructions but not the propaganda under Yuan Shu's management, at least the taxes that should be paid would not be bad.

Moreover, although Jingzhou itself has jurisdiction over seven counties and 115 counties, Nanyang County is the largest county in Jingzhou. The thirty-six counties under its jurisdiction are enough to pay the taxes of the other three counties.

It was impossible for Liu Biao to spit out such a piece of fat meat after he had already eaten it.

Moreover, who would allow an emperor to appear within his own sphere of influence?

It was precisely because of this that Liu Biao was so angry.

In addition, he initially enmity with Sun Jian because of this national jade seal, but now he has spent all his efforts to get rid of Sun Jian, but there is still Sun Ce.

And even after wasting so much effort and wasting so much force, there was still no way to get the jade seal, but Yuan Shu held the jade seal in his hands without paying anything.

Moreover, he also used this jade seal to become emperor. How could Liu Biao endure this?

He is a descendant of Liu Yu, King Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty. Although it is no longer possible to become emperor now that the royal family is in full swing, he is still a clan member of the Han Dynasty after all.

And Yuan Shu openly proclaimed himself emperor in his territory. This was not only disrespectful to the Han Dynasty, but also disrespected Liu Biao. In a prefecture and county under the jurisdiction of a Han clan clan, there was a person with a different surname holding a jade seal to call him emperor. Emperor, Liu Biao will definitely be ridiculed by everyone in the world.

Although Liu Feng of Youzhou and Liu Yan of Yizhou are also members of the Han clan, they should stand up and join Liu Biao in the crusade against Yuan Shu, but Liu Yan is old, and Yizhou is remote and has complex terrain, making it inconvenient to send troops..

Although Liu Feng was an upright young man and had a strong military force, he was still far in the north, and the alliance defense line formed by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu completely isolated Liu Feng from the north and could not move further south.

Therefore, only Liu Biao, who was closest to Yuan Shu, was most likely to be ridiculed by the world.

Under the premise that both his interests and his face were violated by Yuan Shu, it is reasonable for Liu Biao to be so angry.

And only if he immediately leads troops to attack Yuan Shu, can he block the world's long mouth and not be overwhelmed by the fishing boat of society.

Therefore, various reasons combined together led Liu Biao to immediately decide to attack Nanyang with all his 100,000 troops.

When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Nanyang, the scene of people from all over the world that he expected did not appear. The princes from all walks of life did not show any special emotions towards his proclaiming emperor.

Instead, it angered Liu Biao, who was closest to him.

The news that Liu Biao led an army of 100,000 to attack Nanyang County reached Yuan Shu's ears, and Yuan Shu was immediately shocked.

Originally, he thought that although he did not have many soldiers and horses, he would definitely be recognized by the princes from all over the country with the national jade seal as proof.

At that time, even if anyone is dissatisfied, he can completely use the authority of the emperor to order other princes to attack the other party.

This is the reason why he dared to proclaim himself emperor and ascend the throne just by relying on the land of Nanyang County.

However, Yuan Shu obviously ignored the political chaos in the world today, and the only law in the chaos is that the weak eat the strong. Whoever has the strongest military force will become the undisputed emperor.

Even the most powerful King Liu Feng, who is now the most powerful, is already worried that he is not enough to cope with the joint attack of various princes, so he has never proclaimed himself emperor.

Yuan Shu actually dared to proclaim himself emperor when he only owned Nanyang County. He obviously overestimated his own strength and prestige and ignored the reality of this world.

Liu Biao used all the strength of Jingzhou to amass an army of 100,000. This force was not very large compared to powerful princes such as Liu Feng, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao.

But for Yuan Shu, who only had Nanyang County, he was still unable to resist.

Therefore, after Yuan Shu learned that Liu Biao's 100,000-strong army was attacking him, he quickly summoned all his officials to discuss strategies to meet the enemy.

However, even though Yuan Shu and his officials brainstormed to find a way to deal with Liu Biao, without enough troops and generals who were good at fighting, it was still difficult for a clever woman to make a fool of herself.

At the same time, Li Jue and Guo Si, who had been occupying Wancheng after being driven out of the Sili area by the three armies of Ma Teng, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, also received news of Liu Biao's attack on Yuan Shu.

Wancheng is within the jurisdiction of Nanyang County, and Li Jue and Guo Si are obviously dependent on Yuan Shu. Therefore, when Liu Biao comes to attack Nanyang, they must be inseparable from each other.

However, they could not decide whether they should side with Yuan Shu and help him resist Liu Biao, or should side with Liu Biao to attack Yuan Shu.

So they called Jia Xu and asked for his opinion.

Jia Xu hardly thought about it and said to Li Jue and Guo Si:"Now that we occupy Wancheng, we are under Yuan Shu's rule.

If we submit to Liu Biao and attack Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, who is already at a disadvantage, will obviously not be able to defeat him. If you pass Liu Biao, he will soon be eliminated by Liu Biao.

And once Liu Biao eliminates Yuan Shu, the two generals can only rely on Liu Biao.

But Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he must hate Dong Xiangguo deeply, and the two of you They are also the prime minister's right-hand man. If you surrender to him, how will he treat you?

Only if Yuan Shu does not die and is in constant confrontation with Liu Biao can the two generals develop."

Li Jue and Guo Si After listening to Jia Xu's words, the two men immediately felt that what he said made sense, so they led their troops to Nanyang Zhiyuan County and volunteered to challenge Liu Biao.

Naturally, Yuan Shu happily agreed and asked Li Jue and Guo Bang to take their troops to resist Liu Biao.

On the other side, Sun Ce saw Liu Biao leading an army of 100,000 men from Jingzhou to attack Yuan Shu, and knew that he would have no time to worry about Jiangxia anymore, so the opportunity came that he wanted to keep.

Therefore, Sun Ce also submitted a letter of challenge to Yuan Shu, hoping to lead his troops to attack Jiangxia and use the strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao to relieve the crisis in Nanyang.

Yuan Shu naturally agreed to this and ordered Sun Ce to lead an army to attack Jiangxia.
