When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 154 How dare Sun Quan do this!

Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou.

Wei Qing was a little surprised. Did Cao Cao use the strategy of rapid march?You must know that they came once during the northern expedition to Wuhuan, and now they also came once to pursue Liu Bei, and they all led the cavalry personally.

If this method of fighting is not commonly used in normal times, it will be difficult for him to make such a decisive decision at critical moments.

[Cao Cao, who returned to the north, began to manage internal affairs and deal with potential internal problems. 】

[In the 15th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao issued a talent-seeking order and put forward the employment policy of "regardless of character, meritocracy" and recruited a large number of talented people. In the 16th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao began to use troops in Guanzhong. In March, Cao Cao sent the commander-in-chief Zhong Yao He led General Xia Houyuan to attack Hanzhong. 】

[In July, Cao Cao led his army to personally conquer Guanzhong and defeated the allied forces in Guanzhong. As a result, Ma Chao and others wanted to cede territory and seek peace, but Cao Cao refused. 】

[In September, Ma, Han and others were unable to resist and asked for cession of territory again, and sent Ren Zi to seek peace. Cao Cao adopted Jia Xu's suggestion, pretended to agree, and defeated Han and Ma's army again. Han Sui and Ma Chao were defeated and fled to Liangzhou. , Yang Qiu fled back to Anding, Cao's army killed Cheng Yi, Li Kan and other rebel generals, and Guanzhong was pacified since then. 】

[In October, Cao Cao marched to Anping, Yang Qiu surrendered, Cao Cao led his army to withdraw, and ordered the generals Xia Houyuan to continue the western expedition. Within two years, he chased Ma Chao, defeated Han Sui, destroyed Song Jian, swept across the Qiang and Di, and marched to the right of Guan. The Liangzhou area was basically pacified. 】

[In the spring of the 17th year, Liu Xie allowed Cao Cao to "praise and worship unknown, enter the court without following, and go to the palace with swords and shoes", just like Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. 】

Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng had already noticed that Cao Cao's mentality at this time was completely different from the original.

If the previous Cao Cao might have thought about powerful ministers or the emperor, then Cao Cao now thinks about more than that. After all, he has reached the pinnacle of the rights and treatment of secular ministers.

But his character is destined to have differences with Xiao He at the last step.

I'm afraid he will choose to take another step forward and leave the circle of ministers.

[In the 18th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao restored the fourteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the nine states in "Shang Shu Yu Gong". Cao Cao was canonized as Wei Gong, added Jiuxi, established the Wei Kingdom, and established the capital in Yecheng. 】

[In the 21st year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty conferred the title of King of Wei on Cao Cao, with [-] households in the city. He was placed above the princes and kings. He did not submit to his ministers when performing tasks, nor worshiped when receiving edicts. He used the emperor's crown, chariot uniforms, banners, rituals and music to worship heaven and earth, and went in and out. It can be called Jingzhi, the ancestral temple, ancestors, and la are all like the Han system, the capital of the country is Yecheng, and the princes are all princes. 】

[He was still a minister of the Han Dynasty in name, but was actually the emperor. In July, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan came to congratulate him and was detained in Yecheng. Cao Cao took the opportunity to divide the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes and chose the Han as Sima. be supervised. 】

[In October, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Cao Cao a crown with ten crowns, a chariot with golden roots, six horses, and a five-hour auxiliary chariot. Cao Cao appointed Cao Pi as the crown prince of Wei with the middle man of five senses. 】

Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

"This is the collapse of the authority of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Qi sighed.

Perhaps it was at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that he was too far away from the Han Dynasty today, and there was also a period of chaos in the middle, which made him feel a lot unfamiliar with the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Qi was not angry about these things that gradually replaced the status, power, and reputation of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao, who controlled the Han Dynasty at this time, did things fairly decently.

Whether it was merging Bingzhou and Youzhou into Jizhou, or merging the old capital of Luoyang into Yuzhou, the power that originally belonged to the emperor to divide states and counties was taken into his own hands. These actions reduced the prestige of the Han Dynasty and increased his reputation. , to expand his power, but Cao Cao did very well.Liu Heng paused and said, "I now doubt whether Cao Cao will officially ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

Liu Qi was a little surprised. Cao Cao had reached the point where he was now. He could no longer stop if he didn't want to become emperor. Could it be that he planned to leave this matter to the Crown Prince of Wei, Cao Pi?
Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianwu 17 years.

Liu Che has already regarded it as a story and has nothing to do with him.

After all, the Han Dynasty in Miracles has ceased to exist in name only, and although Cao Cao does not have the title of emperor, he already has the status of emperor, and the reason why he does not want that title is just that he does not want to.

Moreover, although he was not a legitimate emperor, his power was much greater than that of several Liu emperors in the late Han Dynasty.

[During the past few years, Cao Cao did not stop fighting against the Sun family in the south. In addition to leading his own troops to conquer, in the 20th year of Jian'an, the famous story of eight hundred to one hundred thousand also happened, which also made the people There is one more legendary figure who can stop crying at night. 】

[In the 20th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei captured Yizhou. In order to ensure the stability of his power, he began to march towards Hanzhong, but he never succeeded. 】

[In the 23rd year, Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong again. After more than a year of fighting, Cao Cao finally withdrew from Hanzhong and took away the local people. 】

[In 24 years, Liu Bei's general Guan Yu marched into Fancheng. Cao Ren led his army to defend, and Cao Cao's support came. Then Guan Yu was defeated. Soon, Sun Quan's Lu Meng successfully attacked Jiangling. Guan Yu retreated after learning about it, and was captured by Lin Ju. kill. 】

[Later, Guan Yu's head was given to Cao Cao by Sun Quan, and Cao Cao buried him with the ceremony of a prince. 】

Eastern Han Dynasty, 19th year of Jian'an.

Liu Bei was a little surprised. Eight hundred is more than one hundred thousand. How much is this breakthrough?
And how many of these [-] are false fingers?

Now he has learned that he will win Hanzhong four years later, which is a great thing.

Hanzhong is the gate to the land of Shu. If you can own Hanzhong, then even if the people are taken away by Cao Cao, you will officially own the land of Shu, and you will have your own basic base in the Central Plains.

He turned to look at Zhuge Liang: "Sir, although the results of our occupation of Hanzhong are good, it took too long. I am afraid that the battle will not be simple. We still need to plan more."

Zhuge Liang nodded and indicated that he had already considered Hanzhong. However, the situation in today's world was changing rapidly. Coupled with the appearance of miracles, people all over the world also obtained a lot of information and methods from the miracles. Even he had a few Undecided.

He is confident that he can come up with a better way to win Hanzhong, but he will not underestimate the world's heroes.

But as the miracle played, the happy Liu Bei soon became furious: "How dare Sun Quan do this!" He overturned the tables and chairs directly.

Sun Quan wanted to capture Jiangling, and Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were not surprised at all. After all, the importance of Jiangling is self-evident.

Even if Sun Quan wanted to occupy it, forget it. Guan Yu died in Sun Quan's hands in the end, which made Liu Bei furious.
