The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 319
Zhang Wu had known for a long time that Cao Cao would come to this point, and he also knew that Cao Cao's title of Wei Gong was only the first step, and he would force the emperor to make him Wei Wang soon.

Cao Cao's promotion to Wei Gong was actually a little tentative. He wanted to test the reactions of his subordinates and the people of the world. After all, the Han Dynasty still existed.

As a result, Cao Cao found that all the civil and military officers and soldiers under him were very supportive of him, and even would rather give up the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty to become the minor officials of the Duke of Wei. The separatist princes also sent congratulatory messages to congratulate themselves.

For example, Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

The Gongsun family of Liaodong expressed their submission to Cao Cao long ago, but the premise is that Cao Cao must ensure the rule of the Gongsun family over Liaodong. Cao Cao has no objection, because he has no time to clean up Liaodong for the time being.Sun Quan in Jiangdong showed favor to Cao Cao because only Cao Cao could save him, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong flattered Cao Cao because he was afraid that Cao Cao would beat him.

Liu Zhang from Yizhou pretended to be deaf and dumb, saying that it had nothing to do with me.

Only Zhang Wu resolutely opposed Cao Cao, and said that sooner or later he would send troops to the Northern Expedition to eliminate Cao's thieves and save the emperor.

However, Zhang Wu just said that at this time, Jingzhou did not have the strength to go to the Northern Expedition at all, and Sun Quan was still lingering in Jiangdong, and the most important thing now was to completely eliminate Sun Quan.

In fact, even if Zhang Wu had the strength to make the Northern Expedition, he would not send troops. On the contrary, in his heart, he was very happy to see Cao Cao come to this point, because Zhang Wu also had ambitions. He had worked hard for so many years, of course it was not true. It is necessary to revive the Han Dynasty and return power to the emperor.

Zhang Wu also wanted to be emperor!
But this must not be said or shown, at least not now.

Because Zhang Wu once said that as long as the Han Dynasty exists, he will always be a courtier of the Han Dynasty.

This is also the political basis for Liu Bei's group to take refuge in him.

But what if the Han Dynasty ceased to exist?What if the emperor is gone?

Then there is no way, even the big man is gone, even the big man emperor is gone, who else should I pledge my allegiance to?You can't be loyal to Cao Cao, right?From this aspect, Cao Cao also shoulders the important task of clearing obstacles for Zhang Wu.

In order to compete with the Cao Group, Zhang Wu must have a name. When the time comes, the civil and military officials under Zhang Wu and the aristocratic families under his rule will naturally help Zhang Wu solve this problem.

Therefore, Zhang Wu planned to take advantage of the time when Cao Cao was busy taking the position of Wei Gong and building his own lair, and completely eliminated Sun Quan. Now the army is almost repaired.

Zhang Wu first came to Liu Bei's house and discussed with Liu Bei about Cao Cao's proclaiming the public.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to come to this point in the end. He was not like this at the beginning." Liu Bei was a little distracted, as if he was recalling the past, recalling that when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was also determined to eradicate the national traitors and restore the court.

At the beginning, Liu Bei still admired Cao Cao very much and was very grateful, because there were so many princes back then, only Cao Cao looked up to him.

It's just that, as Cao Cao grew stronger and stronger, he even began to control the government and bully the emperor. Why is this?
"People change. The current Cao Cao is no longer the Cao Cao when he was attacking Dong Zhuo."

Zhang Wu also admired Cao Cao's daring to risk his life to assassinate Dong Zhuo. At that time, Cao Cao was just 35 years old, and he was still passionate about becoming a powerful minister.

It's just that, in the end, the dragon slayer boy himself became a dragon.

This is a strange circle that is difficult to get out of, and it has been like this since ancient times.

So, how rare it is not to forget the original intention!
"What are your plans?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Cao Cao's desire to usurp has been clearly revealed. I believe that everyone in the world has seen his true face. It's just that Cao Cao is now very powerful, nine of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty have enough soldiers and food. Although I have many I defeated Cao Cao for the first time, but they all won on water, lacking infantry and cavalry, so I don't have the strength to attack Cao Cao for the time being."

Liu Bei has been fighting for a lifetime, and of course he knows this situation. Although Jingzhou now has nearly 20 troops, most of them are navy troops.If you want to go north to fight Cao's army, you will need a large number of cavalry and infantry. The key now is that there is no place to get war horses.

"I'm afraid that Cao Cao's ambition will grow bigger and bigger, and he will eventually murder the emperor and usurp the throne and stand on his own!"

This is what Liu Bei is most worried about. Once Cao Cao is allowed to go that far and the Han Dynasty disappears in name, then there will be countless people who are greedy for power and power vying to get on Cao Cao's boat.If Cao Cao is allowed to stabilize for a few years, the big man will be completely gone.

"Lord Yuezhang, don't worry, as long as I'm here, Cao Cao will not dare to murder the emperor, nor will he dare to usurp the throne. As long as the big man exists, I will always be the servant of the big man, and I will try my best to rescue the emperor."

Zhang Wu knew that Cao Cao would not usurp the throne and stand on his own until he brought peace to the world. Although he would take another step in the near future and force the emperor to make him king, he still had no intention of proclaiming himself emperor.There were also many sycophants who persuaded Cao Cao to become emperor, so that he could be a hero and do it, but Cao Cao explicitly rejected them.

Cao Cao's original words are "Gou's destiny is lonely, and he is the king of Zhou Wen".

That boy Cao Pi is not as stable as his father. When his own prestige was not enough, he was eager to become emperor. In order to gain the support of the aristocratic family, he had to make concessions to the aristocratic family, leaving hidden dangers for the Cao Wei regime.

Zhang Wu can make this kind of guarantee, Liu Bei is satisfied, and he can't be forced to fight Cao Cao now!
"If you have this heart, I will feel at ease. The emperor is kind to me, and I really can't bear to see him being persecuted by Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao has become Wei Gong, your official position is too small to fight against Cao Cao. I will write a memorial to express You are the chariot general, and you send someone to Xuchang."

Zhang Wu is overjoyed, my father-in-law really loves his son-in-law, and he still wants to ask the emperor for an official for me.

General Cheqi is the name of a high-ranking general, with a gold seal and purple ribbon. His status is second only to General General Hussars and General Hussars, and is higher than General Wei and Generals Front, Back, Left, and Right.

In the Western Han Dynasty, General Cheqi was one of the important military officers, in charge of the guards of the capital, conquering treachery, recommending officials and other activities.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the generals of chariots and riders were mainly in charge of conquest and treachery. When there was a war, they would call on officials to go out to fight, and they would be dismissed after returning from the battle.

Liu Beibiao Zhang Wu was the chariot general, and he also wanted Zhang Wu to conquer Cao Cao.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Chariots and Cavalry became the permanent title of generals. Li Jue and Dong Cheng both served as Generals Chariots and Cavalry.

The most recent chariot general is Che Zhou.

After Cao Cao destroyed Lu Bu, he appointed Che Zhou as the general of the car and the governor of Xuzhou. It can be seen that Che Zhou was really Cao Cao's confidant general, because Cao Cao didn't have a few states at that time, but he made Xuzhou such an important place. He was handed over to Che Zhou, and he was appointed General Che Qi.

At that time, even Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were just miscellaneous generals, but this car Zhou could serve as the third in command among the generals, and also served as the governor of Xuzhou. This is a great official in Xinjiang.

What's more, Che Zhou brought his whole family with him to take up the post. Cao Cao's suspicion but his reassurance about Che Zhou is almost like a real brother.Moreover, with Cao Cao's ability to employ people, it is impossible to entrust such an important task to a fool. In Cao Cao's eyes, this car is at least at the level of Liu Fu and Cheng Yu.

Later, Che Zhou, the chariot general, was killed by Liu Bei, the left general. This incident must have made Cao Cao furious.

After Che Zhou's death, the post of General Che Qi remained vacant.
