Chapter 817 Cao Cao dispatched troops ahead of time

"Yes. My lord only arranged for 19 people yesterday, and there are 5000 soldiers left. They haven't been reorganized yet. Is my lord going to reorganize them?"

Xu Ding said: "That's right. Let Dian Wei select [-] soldiers to serve as the Imperial Forest Army stationed in the palace. Let General Tai Shici command the remaining [-] soldiers to serve as the imperial guards of Xu County."

In this way, Xu Ding would have nothing to worry about.

The newly reorganized six armies can all go out to fight against Sun Cao Liu.

Guo Jia replied: "I obey."

After several days of adaptation, the army was formed.

Simultaneously.

The palace that Guoyuan was in charge of building and the hero club outside the palace were also under rapid construction.Xu Ding set out to set up the Six Departments and the Military Aircraft Department, and they all began to operate.

As time goes by, new problems arise.

If one wants to establish a country and become an emperor, one must have a country title and a year title.
These have to be solved slowly from scratch.

early morning.

Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu came to Xuding for a meeting.

"Just now Chen Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said that September [-]th is an auspicious time for enthronement. Seeing that the time is approaching, we should also consider the country name and year name. What are your ideas?" Xu Ding sat down and asked.

Jia Xu replied: "My lord raised troops in Donglai, how about taking the word 'Lai' as the country name? As for the year name..."

"Lai? Isn't this too casual?" Xu Ding knew that the emperors all through the ages liked to take the titles related to him. For example, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was the king of Hanzhong before the founding of the country. After the founding of the country, he took a title Chinese character.

In the following hundreds of years, Jin, Sui, Tang, etc., also formulated the country names based on the name of the emperor Gaozu and the place where the army was raised.

But Xu Ding didn't like this.

"Wenhe, can we think of a special country name?" Xu Ding interrupted him.

"A special country name?"

"The lord has already thought of it?" Guo Jia asked.

"I did think of one. Just name it Huaxia, with the word Empire attached." Xu Ding said.

"Huaxia Empire..." Jia Xu read slowly.

Although I don't understand why Xu Ding took it like this, it sounds very dignified.

"Good name." Guo Jia said.

"What's so good about it?" Xi Zhicai asked in a low voice.

"My lord took it, can it be okay?" Guo Jia also replied in a low voice, then cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the word Huaxia will definitely be passed on for hundreds, thousands, and thousands of generations. It will last forever."

"Ah."

Xu Ding nodded.

The word Huaxia came from later generations.It is not an exaggeration to say that he will be passed on to thousands and thousands of generations.

Taking these two characters as the name of the country also has a long-lasting meaning.

"As for the year name, I've also thought of it. It's called the Yuan Dynasty." Xu Ding said.

These two words are even more difficult to understand than Huaxia.

Why is it called AD?

Jia Xu couldn't help asking: "Master, what does the word "Yu" mean?"

"No, I thought about it casually. If you insist on asking me to explain, it can be understood as the beginning of selflessness. Because the word "public" originally means selflessness. Yuan Zhe, the beginning. Together, it is the beginning of selflessness." Xu Dingran Explained.

"My lord's wonderful solution. The most difficult thing in the world is selflessness. And for a country, it is even more difficult to be selfless. If my Chinese Empire can do these two words well, it will be passed on to thousands of generations." Xi Zhicai said.

"You have no objections?"

"No no.."

Xu Ding immediately made a decision: "Okay, since you have no objections, then it's decided like this. The country name is Huaxia, and the year name is AD. When the palace is completed, it will be officially enthroned on the ninth day of September."

Enthronement does not need to be agreed.

But it is also necessary to cooperate in due course.

Try on the dragon robe and dragon crown.
Sacrificial rituals, etc.

These are very troublesome.

According to Chen Lin, the more troublesome it is, the more grand it looks.

Well, in order to establish imperial power, Xu Ding endured it.

Follow the Ministry of Rites to test again and again.

A month later.

There are still fifteen days until the day of enthronement.

Guoyuan completed the task ahead of schedule, and the sacrificial altar and Fengtian hall were all completed.Even the stone steps outside the Fengtian Temple were polished by craftsmen to shine.

From a distance, it really has the meaning of jade steps.

Originally, the Ministry of Industry also proposed to replace the stone steps with concrete floors, but Guoyuan firmly refused, and Xu Ding did not agree either.Because the stone steps outside the Fengtian Temple need to be very solemn, it is difficult to achieve that effect on the concrete floor.

The stone steps polished from a whole piece of Qinggang rock can be used as the jade steps outside Fengtian Hall.

"My lord, Cao Cao has sent troops..." Early this morning, Guo Jia ran into the government office with a letter.

"When did you send troops?" Xu Ding took the letter.

"Yesterday at noon. Cao Cao issued a statement to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, listing the lord as a traitor, and hurriedly recruited the princes of the world to gather in Yanzhou to crusade the lord. He personally led [-] cavalry and marched towards Hangu Pass and Hongnong."

After reading the letter, Xu Ding frowned and said, "Cao Cao really knows how to find time. My enthronement will be fifteen days later. Is he sending troops now to stop me?"

"My lord..." Guo Jia wanted to say something.

Xu Ding waved his hands at him: "Don't try to persuade me to give up the throne. We are ready for everything, just like an arrow that has been shot, and it can't be taken back. If we don't complete the enthronement etiquette, we will be ridiculed by the world."

"My lord is right. That's exactly what it is. Maybe Cao Cao also took a fancy to this and sent troops ahead of time." Guo Jia said.

"So, we have to send troops in advance!" Xu Ding had a plan in mind, took out the map and put it on the desk, and said, "As early as a month ago, I transferred Zhao Yun's sharp knife and Jia Xu's sharp blade to the tiger prison. Outside the pass. Now Cao Cao is still in Hongnong. Order Zhao Yun and Jia Xu to attack Hulao Pass. At the same time, order Xu Huang to lead the shield defense as a backup. After Zhao Yun and Jia Xu attack Hulao Pass, stand by and stand by."

"As ordered."

Guo Jia agreed.

But he didn't leave.

"My lord, since Cao Cao has sent troops, Liu Bei and Sun Jian cannot stand by and watch. I expect Liu Bei to launch an attack on our two prefectures, Hebei and Youzhou. Sun Jian will also send troops to Xuzhou, or come to Yanzhou to help in the war. We must guard against it." Guo Jiadao .

"Ah."

Xu Ding said: "Sun Jian has Zhou Yu, and Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang. They really should not be underestimated. Xuzhou is the heart of the Central Plains. After many years of our management, cement roads have been built. Sun Jian cannot be taken advantage of. Give Guan Yu an order to lead the Hebei Field Army , to garrison Hebei. Separate a battalion of cavalry from his command, preferably Ma Chao's heavy cavalry. A battalion of infantry, stationed in Pengcheng and Tanxian, and stick to Xuzhou."

"Yes."

"Wait..." Xu Ding instinctively felt that this arrangement was a bit sloppy.

"Feng Xiao, is it really okay for me to arrange this way?"

Guo Jia replied: "I think it's very good. Guan Yu's Hebei field army is all elite. No matter whether they are stationed in the Central Plains or Hebei, they will not lose. But we can concentrate our forces and wipe out Cao Cao first, and then gradually wipe out Sun Liu. "

"No, I'll change it again." Xu Ding was a little worried, and said: "Transfer all of Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army to Hebei, including Ma Chao's. Then let Xu Huang's Zhili Field Army station in Xuzhou. This way we don't have to Don’t worry about Hebei and the Central Plains anymore. I believe that the strength of the two field armies, together with the local army, is sufficient to deal with Liu Bei and Sun Jian.”

Guo Jiadao: "But in this way, our troops will be weak. The Zhili Field Army should have been stationed in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Now that they have been transferred to Xuzhou, what should we do here?"

Xu Dingdao: "A month ago, General Tai Shici had formed [-] Imperial Guards, and Dian Wei also had [-] Imperial Forest Army. I will ask Huang Zhong to divide some of the cavalry from the Central Plains Field Army and station them in Qiao County. How dare Sun Jian attack?"

"Okay, I'll pass the order now." Guo Jia left quickly.

Xu Dingshi did not expect that this war would come so fast and so urgently.

Fortunately, the capital was brought to Xu County before, so that it could be defended nearby.

If he was still staying in Donglai, it is estimated that Yanyu and Yuzhou were lost, and they had not yet reached the battlefield.

I am even more fortunate to have assembled 23 troops in advance and have enough strength to fight.

vertical day.

After receiving Xu Ding's order, Zhao Yun and Jia Xu arrived outside Hulao Pass with lightning speed and stormed Hulao Pass.At the same time, Guan Yu and Xu Huang led their troops to Jizhou and Xuzhou.

Gongsun Zan personally led three battalions of white horse cavalry and stationed in Qiao County.

Everything unfolded in an orderly manner.

During this period, Xu Ding and the officials of Xu County were still preparing to become emperor.He did not give up proclaiming himself emperor because of Cao Cao's arrival.

September nine.

Xu Ding boarded the sacrificial altar and formally succeeded to the throne.

Announced the founding of the country.

The name of the country is Huaxia, and the name of the year is AD.

And Xu County was renamed Xudu.

Xu Ding read out three imperial edicts.

The first way is to exempt the people from tax burdens.

The second way is to make a new law, only the murderer pays with his life.The rest of the crimes, according to the size, determine the number of years in prison.The worst thing is to die of old age in prison.

The third way is to launch an all-out war against Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, and list the three of them as criminals, offering a reward of one million taels.

The enthronement ceremony is over.

Xu Dingyi wrote more than a dozen letters of state with his own hand, and sent people to Jingzhou, Yizhou, Xiliang and other places, hoping that the princes of all towns would come and surrender.

"Zhicai, I'll leave the matter of Xudu to you. I'm going on an expedition soon, so I don't have time to take care of it." In the study, Xu Dingchao said to Zhicai.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister will live up to everyone's expectations."

"Ah."

Xu Ding swept his eyes over the civil and military men in the study, and said: "Tomorrow morning, the Central Plains Field Army will follow me to Hulao Pass. We will fight Cao Cao in Sili Luoyang."

"Follow the order..."

All civil and military officials responded.

This is Xu Ding's first battle after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and also the first personal expedition by a royal driver after the founding of the People's Republic of China.Xu Ding has already told the generals under his command that the success or failure of this battle will be related to the ownership of the world.It is even more related to the future of the Chinese Empire.Therefore, generals at all levels must take the lead and fight hard.

The army left Xudu and headed for Hulao Pass.

Just then, Xu Ding received the news.

Sun Jian has sent troops!
However, Sun Jian did not attack Xuzhou, nor did he attack Yuzhou or Yanzhou.Instead, let Zhou Yu lead all the soldiers and horses, go straight to Xiangyang, and fight Liu Biao.

This surprised Xu Ding a little.

At this time, Sun Jian still dare to think carefully, use Cao Cao to resist the Chinese elite, and reap the benefits of the fisherman himself?

On the march.

Guo Jia almost laughed and twisted his mouth: "This must be Zhou Gongjin's strategy. He knows that Sun Jian's territory is small and his strength is weak. Even if he helps Cao Cao and defeats His Majesty, he will not survive to the end. Therefore, he simply beat Liu Biao first. Take back Jingzhou. Just take this time to wait and see. It's a pity that the three of them may not be able to defeat us when they join forces. They will also go to fight Liu Biao. It is really a dead end."

Xu Ding also smiled and said, "I thought the Sun-Cao-Liu alliance was unbreakable, but I didn't expect that there would be a gap at the very beginning. That's good, let's beat Cao Cao quickly, and beat Sun Jian later."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Guo Jia already had a complete grasp of the battle on the battlefield.

Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei may seem powerful, but in fact they are suspicious of each other and go their own way, making it difficult to accomplish great things.On the other hand, Xu Ding has just founded the country, and the morale of the soldiers is high. The 23 army under his command has been restructured and has been training in Yanzhou for a long time.Pulling out to join the battle now will definitely be invincible.

"Report."

Before the promised army reached Hulao Pass, a soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, good news from the front line!"

"Bring it."

Xu Ding stepped out of the cart and took the letter from the soldier.

It is clearly written above.Zhao Yun conquered Hulao Pass on the ninth day of September.And together with Jia Xu's sharp-edged army, they marched towards Luoyang.At the same time, Zhang Liao led the shield defense army and stationed at Hulao Pass.

"Okay, hahaha."

Xu Ding laughed happily.

Guo Jia and Huang Zhong, who were following Che Nian, asked, "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

"Zilong has conquered Hulao Pass, and our army is marching towards Luoyang." Xu Ding put away Jie Jie's report.

"OK.."

The generals around are all happy.

Once the Hulao was broken, the gate of Luoyang was opened.

The Central Plains Field Army can then drive straight in and fight Cao Cao in Luoyang.

The victory or defeat of this battle will also determine the ownership of Luoyang.

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "In order to prevent things from changing, I suggest that you speed up your march. You must rush to Guanzhong within three days to join General Zhao Yun. Beware of Cao Cao's seizure of Hulao."

"Ah."

The fighter plane is fleeting, and Xu Ding doesn't want to miss the opportunity to encircle and wipe out Cao Cao.

What's more, we must beware of Cao Cao's counterattack against Hulao and trap Zhao Yun and Jia Xu in Guanzhong, so that the army of the Chinese Empire will face danger.

Jingzhou.

Xiangyang.

After several days of preparation, Zhou Yu led his army to attack Liu Biao.

Zhou Yu brought 5 people.

Liu Biao has thirty thousand.

It stands to reason that defending the city is enough.

However, Zhou Yu's name has long been famous all over the world, and Sun Jian's army is even more brave.And he can afford a civil servant under his command, and the army lacks training, so it is really hard to have confidence.

Cai Mao persuaded: "My lord, Zhou Yu is a famous general in the world. It is difficult for us Jingzhou soldiers to match. It is better to surrender Sun Jian and join Cao Cao and Liu Bei to attack Xu Ding."

"Impossible..." Counselor Kuai Yue said: "Even if you want to surrender, you should surrender Xu Ding. He has already established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, and he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. He will definitely defeat Sun Cao Liu."

"What if we lose? Can we still switch to Sun Jian?" Cai Mao retorted.

"My lord..." Wenpin stepped forward: "Xu Ding is extremely powerful and will not be easily defeated. If the lord joins him, he will be even more powerful, and Sun Cao Liu will definitely not be able to succeed."

Wenpin had planned to join Xu Ding for a long time, but he didn't show his attitude because he was afraid of Liu Biao's blame.

Now that he has talked about surrendering, he has no choice but to speak out.

"Sun Jian has been planning Jingzhou for a long time, and he will not let it go. We must either rely on Sun Jian or Xu Ding, and we must make a decision early." Kuai Liang said.
