Chapter 785
"Since my lord is worried, why don't you proclaim yourself emperor?"

Seeing that Liu Bei was worried about letting Sun Quan go, Guo Jia suggested at the right time.

Liu Bei frowned. In fact, he didn't want to become emperor, but he was not ready to become emperor, and he always felt that the time was not yet.

Guo Jia said again: "My lord, now is the best time to become emperor. Cao Cao attacked Xu, Liu Biao claimed to be sick, Sun Ce was critically ill, and Sun Quan has not left. My lord is now to become emperor. There is absolutely no real resistance from the princes of the world."

Guo Jia said, how could Liu Bei not know, but proclaiming the emperor is like a big lump in his heart, and he always feels that once he proclaims the emperor, he will become a lonely family.

Guo Jia saw Liu Bei's hesitation, and said again: "If my lord hesitates, troubles will surely arise over time."

"Oh! How to say?"

Liu Bei himself was short of a reason to persuade himself. Hearing what Guo Jia said, he not only asked.

Seeing Liu Bei taking the bait, Guo Jia twitched his lips and said, "My lord, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country. Now Han has lost its deer, and all the heroes in the world are chasing him. If the lord does not proclaim himself emperor, the little Xuchang emperor will become the orthodox Han Dynasty. As time goes on, there will be wise men who will vote for it, and it will be difficult for my lord to try to pacify Yanzhou!"

Liu Bei was terrified, he really didn't expect this.

Guo Jia went on to say: "Guangwu proclaimed himself emperor in Hebei just to win people's hearts. Now the lord is sitting on two-thirds of the world. If he doesn't proclaim himself emperor, he may lose his chance! If he proclaims emperor in the future, there will be endless troubles."

"Hmm! What you said is not unreasonable. Although the Han Dynasty has become a thing of the past, Gu really needs to take over this banner sooner."

Liu Bei blurted out.

"Sir, see my emperor."

Guo Jia knelt down and shouted loudly.

Just as Liu Bei was about to help Guo Jia up, he saw a few people coming out of the screen behind him, namely Jian Yong, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Wang Lang and other confidant officials, all kneeling down together: "I have seen my emperor!" .”

"You, you..."

Liu Bei felt cheated, but suddenly smiled, as if Liu Bei was forced to ascend to the throne by Zhuge Liang in history, but now he is forced by Guo Jia. If he goes to Liaodong, he will definitely live until Zhuge Liang becomes an official.

At that time, it will be clear at a glance who is stronger, the ghost talent or the crouching dragon.

"Get up."

"Here!"

The next day, led by Sangong and led by Xun Yu, Minister of the Shangshu, all the officials once again invited Liu Bei to ascend the throne as emperor and inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei refused as before.

A few days later, Wang Zhi, Mu of Yongzhou, Guo Yun of Mu of Youzhou, Yuan Xi of Mu of Jizhou, Wang Shang of Mu of Yizhou, Zheng Hun of Mu of Yuzhou, Zang Hong of Mu of Qingzhou, and Yinfei of Bingzhou of Mu, wrote back a letter asking Liu Bei to ascend the throne. emperor.

Liu Beifu refused.

One month later, the Sangong took the lead again, followed by the Jiuqing. Hundreds of officials gathered together.

Liu Bei reluctantly agreed.

Half a month later, Liu Bei first paid homage to the Chang'an Ancestral Temple, and then invited Gaozu's spiritual throne, and finally became the emperor in Chang'an Palace. The country was named Jin, and it was called Jin Han in history.

Liu Bei sealed the world, changed Situ to Taifu and appointed him as Chen Ji, changed Sikong to Taishi and appointed him as Wang Zhi, and promoted Shangshuling to be Shangshu's left and right servants, second-rank officials were appointed by Xun Yu and Jia Xu respectively, and set up The Zhongshu ordered Jian Yong to appoint him, and then set up a door under the province, and the two servants under the door were appointed by Gu Yong and Xi Zhicai respectively.

There are also six departments, which belong to Shangshu Province.

Pull Lu Bu as the general and king of Pengcheng.

Guan Yu was General Zhennan and Marquis of Liangxiang.

Zhang Fei was General Zhenbei and Marquis of Qixiang.

Ma Teng is General Zhenxi and Marquis of Huaili.

Gongsun Du was General Zhendong and Marquis of Liaodong.

Huang Zhong was the general of Pingnan, Zhang Liao was the general of Pingbei, Zhang He was the general of Pingdong, and Zhang Ji was the general of Pingxi.

Ji Ling, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Han Meng, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Pang De, Han Dang, etc. are all miscellaneous generals and named Liehou.

Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and granted the world great power, but at the same time he would not forget the princes from all over the world, such as making Lv Bu the king of Pengcheng, the shepherd of Xuzhou, and the general?

In the past, Lu Bu was called the king of Pengcheng, and he had to claim himself as the king, but now he has become a straight and straight king of the opposite sex, which is extremely rare in the Han Dynasty.

Chen Deng and his son persuaded Lv Bu to go to Wang Hao, of course Lv Bu was not happy, Chen Deng and his son told Han Xin and the other three people, Lv Bu was startled and went to the table.

Liu Bei issued another edict, and Lu Bu had no choice but to complain of illness.

Liu Bei had no choice but to send his confidants to the secret letter, saying that the title of king would be passed on to Liu Bei's eldest son after a hundred years from Lu Bu, so Lu Bu accepted it calmly.

Liu Bei named Liu Biao King of Jing, Mu of Jingzhou, and Zongzheng.

Liu Biao refused repeatedly, and then Liu Bei could only call his eldest son Liu Qi as Dali Shaoqing, and recruited a group of famous people from Jingzhou Zhengda Guangming, such as Jiang Wan, Ma Liang, Zhuge Jin and other famous people.

Under the cooperation of the Cai brothers and sisters, Liu Biao's body, which had pretended to be sick, was actually sick. In addition, the news that Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and wanted him to be placed under house arrest in Beijing made him even more seriously ill.

Liu Biao was so ill that he couldn't stand up and take matters into his own hands. The Cai brothers and sisters took the opportunity to seize power, and in the name of Liu Bei and Liu Biao, they sent Cai Zhong to force Liu Qi to go to Chang'an. They were accompanied by Liu Pan, who had easily captured Xiangyang, and Liu Bei asked for celebrities.

In Jingzhou, the Cai family controls Liu Biao's mansion inside, and Cai Mao controls Jingzhou's military affairs outside. Cai Mao, with his younger brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He, is in charge of the Jingzhou army, and promotes Wang Can and Han Song to recommend celebrities to control the important areas of Jingzhou. , which makes Cai Mao more popular?
Cai Mao conquered Zhuge Liang again, but it was a pity that Zhuge Liang refused to accept his resignation.

Cai Mao took complete control of Jingzhou's military affairs, which was related to the initiative of the Kuai brothers to give up power.

The situation in the world collapsed because of Sun Ce's illness. Now except Cao Cao who is still conquering Xuzhou and fighting against the Jin army, all the other princes will become vassals of the Jin army.

Sun Ce was about to die, so he sent Lu Su to welcome Sun Quan back to Jiangdong to inherit the throne. Liu Bei naturally refused to let go of this opportunity. , Wang Lang, etc., Wu led by Gan Ning, who had just put down the Gaoding Rebellion, and sent Qin Yilu south to contact Zhu Huan and other old acquaintances to ensure that Sun Quan could succeed to the throne smoothly.

Once Sun Quan had a firm foothold in Jiangdong, Gan Ning, Gu Yong, etc. would also be able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong. Unless there was internal strife in Jiangdong, Liu Bei would be able to take the six counties of Jiangdong without bloodshed.

Liu Bei managed Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Xuzhou, so naturally he would not forget Cao Cao. Liu Bei once sent envoys to Xuchang to persuade Liu Ying and others to descend to Jin. He could guarantee the throne of the little emperor and keep the incense of Lingdi and Xiandi. agree?
Liu Bei sent people to Shouchun again, but Cao Cao refused.

The situation was so urgent back then, he didn't turn to Yuan Shao, how could he turn to Liu Bei today, unless Cao Cao died or was captured alive, he would never surrender.

Cao Cao was quite gentle with the envoy, but Liu Ying's approach was a little more violent, even beheading the envoy.

Cao Cao was in a hurry. He was in a hurry to attack Xuzhou, lest he offend Liu Bei, but Liu Ying beheaded the envoy.

Sure enough, although the Jin army that harvested the spring wheat was not enough for a big battle, they were not afraid of a small battle. Li Tong went out of Lujiang River and entered Jiujiang, Chen went to Yingshui, Xu Huang stationed troops in Puyang, and Zang Hong sent Xu Rong to cross Jishui.

For a while, Cao's army was in danger, and Gao Shun, Chen Gong and other reinforcements came to Xiapi, so Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat. Lu Bu wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but was repeatedly persuaded by Chen Gong and others.

Cao Cao's last chance to come back is gone.
