Chapter 518

Yanzhou, Dong Commandery,

"Hahahaha!"

Cao Cao heard the news that Yuan Shu was preparing to proclaim himself Emperor, and even met Yuan Shu's envoy.

He didn't hesitate to drive Yuan Shu's envoy away, and then looked at the civil and military officials below, and couldn't help laughing.

"I originally thought that although Yuan Shu was stupid, relying on the Yuan family's foundation, he could at least be considered a hero;"

"Now it seems, I was wrong! Very wrong!"

"Is Yuan Shu not a hero? He is completely an idiot!"

"Everyone! Yuan Shu is actually preparing to proclaim himself Emperor! It almost made me laugh to death! Hahahaha!"

At this time, Cao Cao's face was full of smiles.

He was just short of doing a somersault on the spot.

"Lord!"

At this time, Xun Yu stepped out and said: "Yuan Shu proclaiming himself Emperor will inevitably cause public anger and trigger the dissatisfaction of the world, you know, the Great Han has not died yet!"

"This move is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the people of the world;"

"Your subordinate thinks that this is our opportunity. We can completely contact the warlords of all sides, jointly crusade against Yuan Shu, and take the opportunity to capture the commanderies of Yuzhou and expand our territory."

"At this time, Su Xuan of Jingzhou has just taken Jingzhou not long ago, and with his implementation of new policies, he should temporarily not have the manpower to expand his territory. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, and it must not be missed."

"Not bad!"

At this time, Zhong Yao also stepped out and said: "Such a good opportunity must not be missed, otherwise, we will have no chance to expand our power later;"

"At that time, we will be facing a fully armed Su Xuan;"

"Undeniably, the troops under Su Xuan's command are extremely elite. If we cannot take advantage of his lack of sufficient talent to expand his territory to expand our strength as much as possible, then what will we use to fight him in the future?"

"Even, it is not just Su Xuan, Yuan Shao in the north is also a huge threat;"

"Currently, Yuan Shao has obtained Jizhou, and his strength has greatly increased;"

"At this time, he cannot spare his hands to target us, to target Yanzhou, this good opportunity must not be missed;"

"There are not many opportunities left for us! Lord!"

Cao Cao's starting point and development speed are slower than other warlords. If he doesn't seize this rare opportunity now, he really won't be able to catch up.

Yuan Shao, Su Xuan, and the others will not wait for Cao Cao in place.

"Very good!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement: "Then I will wait for Yuan Shu to proclaim himself Emperor, and then immediately issue a crusade manifesto to call on the warlords of the world to crusade against him!"

"Lord is wise!"
