Chapter 153 Marquis Wanhu

Zhang Wu said in surprise: "Who told you that I was going to kill him? I wanted to use him."

Having been in this era for so long, Zhang Wu had long forgotten those initial unrealistic assumptions.

For example, if Liu and Sun are killed, the power of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu will no longer exist.

In fact, that's not the case. So what if you kill Liu Bei? Apart from being known as a benevolent killer, can you get any benefits?

In today's troubled times, who would do anything without any benefit?

Besides, there are still Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and others in the south.

At most, Liu Bei is more difficult to deal with than Liu Yan of Yizhou, or Liu Zhang in the future. In terms of the general trend of the world, it really doesn't matter.

To put it bluntly, after Cao Wei's forces unified the north, it was a foregone conclusion that the southern princes would join forces to occupy Cao Cao. Liu Bei in the original time and space was just a hero who took advantage of the situation. It does not mean that with him, the world would be divided into three parts.

The real division of the world is ultimately due to Boss Cao's Battle of Chibi hurting Cao Wei's vitality, otherwise the world will eventually be unified.

But because of his own existence in this time and space, could Cao Wei's southward movement be defeated by a small chain plan?
  Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the travelers?

On the contrary, if Liu Bei plans well, it will not only be very helpful to the battle situation in Xuzhou next year. It can also curb Yuan Shu's expansion.

If you replace a tycoon who may be able to take advantage of the momentum with a state with substantial production, this deal will not be a loss at all.

After a battle between alien races, Zhang Wu's third martial soul was completely integrated, and he could see the general trend of the world more clearly.

Under Yuan Shu's aggressive military tactics, Huainan had become a mess and the people were in poverty. It is of no use to gain, and it is a pity to throw away. In addition, there is no naval force on our side. How will we deploy our defenses after trampling on the sensitive nerves of Liu Biao and Sun Ce?

But Liu Bei is different.

First of all, Liu Bei was loyal to the Han Dynasty and was in a fight to the death with Yuan Shu, who was proclaimed emperor in the south.

Secondly, because of his benevolence, what if he really took advantage of the situation to take over Huainan?
  His reputation of benevolence and righteousness that spreads throughout the world will also make him restrained.

In other words, by taking advantage of Cao Wei's power, he recognized the rationality of Xuchang's court in disguise, and recognized Cao Cao's identity as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. So as long as Cao Wei doesn't take the lead in going south, he has no reason to go north. Otherwise, you will become a villain who does one thing in front of you and another behind your back.

How can he destroy his foundation when he bases himself on benevolence and righteousness?

If Liu Bei really defeated Yuan Shu and occupied Huainan, it would become a natural line of defense for his side, allowing him to free up his own hands and feet to unify the north.

Because of his benevolence, he was allowed to govern Huainan. People's livelihood would be restored in three to five years. By then, the northern lands would be unified. Wouldn't it be wonderful to get back a piece of prosperous Huainan?
  Kill three birds with one stone, why not do it.

Just because he may become the Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty in history, it is too narrow-minded to ignore the value he can bring.

"Use him?" Guo Jia curled his lips: "This person has big plans and has the potential to soar into the sky. How confident is Zhang Ziqian that you can control him?"

Zhang Wu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder: "Guo Jia is not a man who can be controlled. Didn't you also prevent me from killing Yuan Shao in the battle of Yingqiu? Why did Liu Bei become so short-sighted? The world At this point of chaos, one more Liu Bei is not much, and one less Liu Bei is not much. Even if he really takes advantage of the situation and becomes a nuisance, he still won't be able to jump up and down as long as I, Zhang Wu, are here!"

Over there, Cao Cao had already begun to present rewards to the generals, so the two of them shut up.

Cao Cao said: "The emperor, the guerrilla general Xiahou Dun, opened the Fen River with Jinyang and flooded more than 30,000 Xiongnu. His true appearance shows that he is a former general and a Marquis of Nan'an Township."

Xiahou Dun came out and stood in the palace, kneeling on one knee facing Cao Cao.

Liu Xie responded expressionlessly: "Yes."

"The general Huang Zhong formed the formation to kill the Xiongnu Zuoxian King and went to Bei. Please become a guerrilla general and grant the title of Marquis within the Pass."

Huang Zhong was not as straightforward as Xia Hou. Instead, he knelt down towards Liu Xie. It was not that he suddenly wanted to change his family, but he just didn't want to embarrass Liu Xie in front of the civil and military officials of the court. It's really ironic to think about it. Jingzhou has been wandering around for nearly twenty years, but it is only a small school in the city gate. It has only been a few years since it arrived in Xuchang, and it has already been granted the title of marquis.

Liu Xie: "Yes."

"General Yingyang Cao Chun, please be General Zuo and Marquis Gaolingting."

"can."

"General Zhang Liao, please be the governor of Yanmen and the Marquis of Guannei."

Zhang Liao came out of the queue, bowed ninety degrees to Cao Cao, and bowed sincerely three times.

This request for the title also illustrates Cao Cao's attitude. Although Bingzhou is desolate, he wants it.

This means that from now on, Cao Jun will be stationed in his hometown, and he no longer has to worry about barbarians from the north.

"can."

Cao Cao smiled, helped Zhang Liao up, and continued: "Lü Bu, the former Fenwu general, followed the champion Hou Pingwuwan and defeated the Huns. He was brave and good at fighting. Please be General Pingdong."

Lu Bu came out and knelt down in front of Cao Cao. The emperor couldn't see the emperor at all in his eyes, so naturally he would marry whomever he wanted to benefit from.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Why did Fengxian say this? This is a reward from your majesty, it has nothing to do with the original situation."

Lu Bu is not stupid. He followed Zhang Wu and gained the title, and then he was asked to be granted the title by his father-in-law. At this juncture, he went to thank Liu Xie?

Unless he really doesn't want to hang out.

But there were many ministers in the hall, and it was difficult to say anything too explicit, so he stopped talking.

Liu Xie was disgusted by Lu Bu, his face turned blue and white, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

"The champion Hou Zhangwu, please increase the food supply to ten thousand households in the city."

quiet! ~
  After a long time, Zhang Wu came back to his senses, put down the wine cup, and was filled with emotions. Before Liu Xie could say anything, he stood up on his own and bowed deeply to Cao Cao.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the marquis was devalued so much that he basically only had a title.

Although he is named Champion Hou, the former Champion County has long since disappeared in the long river of history and no longer exists.

With these ten thousand households, he truly has his own private territory.

This is a genuine Wanhu Hou!

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he was still a prince. Following his father's lordship, the old Zhang family also became a wealthy family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. What they lacked was nothing more than a foundation.

Of course, this city has nothing to do with Liu Xie. The Han Dynasty now has no land, so why should it reward Zhang Wu?

I'm afraid that Boss Cao has already planned a food town around Xuchang, so he's just asking Liu Xie for the sake of his reputation.

Although Xu County was a large county before its capital was established, it only had 200,000 households. If Cao Wei conquered the world and built his capital here in the future, the 10,000 households here would probably be more valuable than the 100,000 households in ordinary places.

This is a great gift!
