Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

After Ning Rong heard the news, he all lamented Cao Cao's superb political methods. This killing of chickens was really vivid for monkeys to see.

And the next even more unexpected thing is yet to come, that is, at this time, a shocking news came from Yizhou, far away in Shu, that Liu Bei ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor!

In the ninth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei, the king of Shu, officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the support of civil and military officials.

When this news came out, the world was in an uproar again, but after the uproar, it felt a bit reasonable. After all, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had been vacant for more than ten years, and the only family member surnamed Liu who could be called emperor Alone.

However, not everyone in the world recognizes Liu Bei as the emperor. For example, Cao Cao, or Sun Ce, they dismissed Liu Bei's edict.

"Back to Xudu!"

After Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately changed his mind about going back to Yecheng for the New Year. He sent a message to all the troops in Yecheng on flying horses, leaving Xiahou Dun to guard Jizhou, and the rest returned to the capital immediately.The sky is big and the earth is big, the emperor is the biggest!In this way, Cao Cao returned to Xudu anxiously, but when all the officials were anxiously waiting for Cao Cao's order, Cao Cao did not go to court for several days in a row, and he did not pass down a single order, as if nothing happened. This makes people touch

Lost my mind.

"Hey! What do you think the king is thinking? He rushed back to Xudu in a hurry before, why is there no movement now?"

"Who knows, the king's mind, you and I can guess!"

"That's not sure. Liu Bei has already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Do you think our king has..."

"Shh! Don't die! People from the Jing'an Department are everywhere now, and you can talk about the king's affairs!"

Remarks like this are the most common in Xu Capital recently. Even if some words are close to the truth, they will still be swallowed by the true and false words of the people and flow into the river of history.

Of course, not all the truth will be covered up. If the status reaches a certain height, it will naturally play a decisive role.

For example, Ning Rong pouted at Guo Jia right now.

"Liu Bei is also a person whose heart is higher than the sky and whose life is thinner than paper. If you don't want to be a good king of Shu, you will be an emperor! Now our plan can only speed up!"

Guo Jia on the opposite side nodded approvingly, raised his head and said: "That's true. We have let it go all these years. There is already a trend of Cao, Sun and Liu's families dividing the world. !"

It can be seen that even though Liu Bei has been doing well these years, Guo Jia still looks down on him.Xi Zhicai was sitting in the top seat, and when he heard the conversation between the two brothers, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Liu Bei's ascension to the throne, to the subjects of the world, it seems that the water has a source, and the tree has a root system. It's a good sign. For more than ten years, we have tried our best to downplay Liu Han's world

The status of the people's hearts in the world, if Liu Bei arouses the hearts of the people in the world, it will be very bad for us! "

Xi Zhicai spoke very slowly, but seriously, he paused for a moment, and continued, "My lord probably understands this truth, so I hurried back to Xudu!" Ning Rong and Guo Jia couldn't help but look at each other, heartbroken. After thinking about it, it is indeed time to come back. The battle in Jizhou has been stalemate for ten years. Although Cao Cao contributed to the flames, it was still too long after all.

Chapter 56 from a document ten years ago

"Zhiyuan..."

The three fell into deep thought while talking, but Guo Jia seemed to remember something, raised his head and shouted at Ning Rong.

"Ok?"

Ning Rong followed his voice, but saw Guo Jia's bright eyes looking at him, and he was a little surprised by the meaningful smile.

"Liu Bei's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor has become an established fact, the most urgent thing is to let the lord ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor! Only in this way can the people of the world wake up!"

Guo Jia's words are not wrong. In terms of strength, Cao Cao is indeed number one in the world. As long as he can raise his arms, I believe that the great banner of Wei can still be raised.

"You mean?" Ning Rong frowned, he already understood what the other party meant.

"That's right! Didn't you dedicate the three provinces and six ministries and the title system to the lord back then? This day is finally coming..."

Guo Jia looked at him with some admiration. Who would have thought that someone would start planning today's event ten years ago.

"no!"

Ning Rong refused decisively, he was not the best candidate.

"Cheng Yu!"

Only then did Xi Zhi speak, and the three of them were all smart people, so they naturally understood everything.

"Old fox, it can be of great use!" This is Ning Rong's evaluation of Cheng Yu.

"The minions are extremely sharp, they are indeed suitable!" Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully.

"That's it, someone will handle this matter!" Seeing that the two brothers agreed, Xi Zhicai nodded and said.

"That's right! If Jia's memory is correct, then Liu Bei's achievements today are all thanks to Zhiyuan's efforts!"

Guo Jia said with a smile, if he was not familiar with his character, he would have thought he was mocking Ning Rong at the moment. After all, it was Ning Rong who let Liu Bei go, and it was Ning Rong who secretly pushed Liu Bei to take Jingzhou.

Looking at it now, isn't this just to let the tiger go back to the mountain and establish a strong enemy for himself?

Of course, looking at Guo Jia's indifferent attitude, you can tell that he doesn't actually take Liu Bei at ease.

"Okay, Guo Fengxiao, you don't have to worry about Liu Bei, since he dares to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, then it is guaranteed that he will become the emperor with the shortest enthronement!"

Ning Rong's tone was very firm, Guo Jia just smiled without any doubts, after all, the three of them have not been idle in the past ten years.

"But don't be lazy, Jingzhou and Jiangdong, you choose one!"

With Ning Rong's words, Guo Jia's back road was blocked, and now the only ones who can mobilize Cao Cao's troops are the few states and counties in the south.

"Well... then Jia will choose Jiangdong! Compared with Sun Jian, Sun Ce's fierce tiger is better than blue!"

Guo Jia glanced at Xi Zhicai, and finally gave him Jingzhou.

Jingzhou was divided up by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce a few years ago. Although Cao Cao only occupied one county, he at least opened the door to Jingzhou.

Of course, if you think that Jingzhou is easy to control because of this, you are very wrong. You must know that Liu Bei and Sun Ce have worked hard to establish the rule of Jingzhou.

"Okay! The two virtuous brothers work hard for those who are capable, so I'll just try to take it easy for you, and I will take care of Jingzhou!" Xi Zhicai smiled at the two, with a caring look on his gentle face, Over the years, in order to be a good backer for Guo Jia and Ning Rong, he himself is willing to retreat behind the scenes, so that he is the only one among the three talents whose reputation is not obvious, but if he doubts his ability because of this, he is really not far from death

……

Xudu, Wei Palace.

Cao Cao sat alone in the imperial study room, which was the place where Emperor Xian of the Han used to prepare a reply to the memorial, but Cao Cao never delegated power, so Emperor Xian of the Han never set foot here, but now it is cheaper for Cao Cao.

At this moment, Cao Cao was sitting in front of the imperial case in a daze. There were two documents placed on the bright yellow cloth. Looking at the yellow corners of the documents, one could tell that the documents were quite old.

"Ugh……"

After a long time, Cao Cao picked up the document and put it down again. He got up and sighed. There are some things he still needs to ask clearly, for example, is the false title in the title of knighthood really okay?

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhongshu Shengcheng asks for an audience..."

The eunuch came to Cao Cao in person and spoke in a low voice. The tone was neither high nor low, just enough to bring Cao Cao back to his senses without being frightened by the sudden voice from the outside.

"Call!"
