Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Is this the truth of the Chu army?"

In Xu Ducheng, in the study of the prime minister's mansion, Cao Cao held Xiahou Dun's military report again, and couldn't help shaking his hands, muttering to himself.

At the beginning, when Xiahou Dun's military report arrived in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Cao Cao was still very calm.Because Xun You and Cheng Yu were in the east, he believed that even if Yangzhou was taken away, the two of them would find a way to get it back.

He has been operating Yangzhou for several years, while Kou Feng only occupied one month, and his foothold is not stable.Playing at home is very cheap.

But after reading the current volume of the military newspaper, Cao Cao's heart is almost no longer delusional. 20 troops.Even if he took the world to go, I'm afraid it would only be a loss for both sides.

What's more, there are only more than [-] troops in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, which are too few, too few.

Yangzhou, I am afraid this life is hopeless.

Thinking about the situation in this world, as Jingchu Koufeng's power expands, it will affect his layout, and the situation is so dangerous.

Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, etc. in the hinterland of the Central Plains are all threatened by Koufeng soldiers.

Cao Cao felt the coldness on his back, and he was not cold.

Even if he is as tyrannical as Cao Cao, he doesn't want such a character to rise up among his enemies.

"The current strategy is to protect Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou and manage Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou. With Yanzhou and other three states as the front line, and Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou as the rear. Manage the world. It's a surefire solution." After a long time, Cao Cao took a breath, and his eyes gradually regained their vigor.

Maybe it won't work anymore. As a capital city, but it is close to the front line, it doesn't work.People's hearts will also slowly float as Kou Feng becomes stronger.

Now I have to retreat to Hebei.

First destroy Gongsun Kang, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Wuhuan and other forces, and occupy Hebei, which is enough to establish a foundation for several generations.

Hebei has a unique geographical location.That is to say, it is a corner of peace, but also very rich and rich.Yuan Shao also occupied Hebei first, and then advanced into the Central Plains.

From this, you can get a glimpse of Hebei's advantages.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao didn't have talent, occupied a favorable location, and had countless elites to help him, but he still lost because of his own stupidity.

"Retreat." After Cao Cao made up his mind, he stopped hesitating and immediately got up and took out a blank scroll of bamboo slips and began to write.

Xiahoudun and Lejin were ordered to retreat respectively. After the retreat, the two combined Xiahoudun and Xunyou to guard Xuzhou and control Xuzhou's military.

Take Le Jin and Cheng Yu as a combination to control Yanzhou's military.

Resist Jingchu with the power of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, and operate Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou and other rear areas, and establish a foundation for generations.

After giving the order, Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief.

Before I made up my mind, my heart was as heavy as a mountain.But once a decision is made, the pressure is gone, as long as you move towards your goal.

Today, Kou Feng has occupied Jingchu and Yangzhou.The power has expanded to the limit.It should also slow down the battle with me.It will take advantage of the trend to annex the weak, just like Jiaozhou Shixie.Wu Ju, prefect of Cangwu, Liu Zhang of Yizhou and so on.

Step up to annex the weak and strengthen ourselves.Lay the foundation for the two countries to compete for supremacy in the future.

The old man has to hurry up too.

After ordering the documents to be sent out, Cao Cao sat alone.His expression was extremely dignified.

Kou Feng wants to annex the weak and weak, and Zhuang Dajun has several bodies, so does he. He wants to attack Liaodong and the grassland.Attack Yongzhou and Liangzhou.

Cao Cao knows that others can solve them one by one.But only Kou Feng is the great enemy of the world.

It is inevitable that the two countries will compete for supremacy.

Sitting alone in the study for a while, Cao Cao pondered for a while.He ordered the guards to find Chen Qun and Jia Xu.

Today's strategy has been set.Then it's time to execute.Chen Qun and Jia Xu are confidantes, and Cao Cao has to discuss some matters with them.

Originally, Cao Cao also planned to find Xun Yu.But Xun Yu is a bit old-fashioned, and he is more attached to the Han Dynasty.What he will do next, I am afraid that Xun Yu will resent him.

So give up.

"Prime Minister." Jia Xu and Chen Qun are both noble officials, and the official residence is very close, so they came quickly.They almost arrived at the front and back, and after entering the door together, they greeted Cao Cao.

"The two gentlemen are exempt from courtesy." Cao Cao said kindly.

Jia Xu and Chen Qun were not pretentious when they heard the words, so they bowed again and sat on both sides of Cao Cao.

The study is spacious enough for three people to sit down.

"This is Xiahoudun's military newspaper ahead, you should read it too." In the room, there were no attendants, Cao Cao handed over the bamboo slips and said.

Chen Qun and Jia Xu looked at each other, Chen Qun stood up, took the bamboo slips, and handed them to Jia Xu after looking at them.

After Jia Xu finished reading, the faces of both of them were very solemn.

"The prime minister manages the world, but the lone bandit is entrusted with the throne, so why not." Chen Qun sighed.

"This person cannot be eliminated quickly." Jia Xu also shook his head and said.

"Gu summoned the two gentlemen to come here for this reason. If you think that if you are alone here, you can ascend to the position of Duke Wei and establish the Wei State. How about setting the capital in Yecheng?" Cao Cao asked.

Wei State.

Cao Cao's business rear is not to move the emperor's capital to Yecheng, but to establish his own kingdom.Wei Guo.To be built in Hebei.

As for the placement of the emperor Liu Xie, just stay in Xudu.

Today, the world has been in turmoil for many years, but in fact, the role of the emperor Liu Xie has been very small.Already dispensable.

"In recent years, most of the prime ministers have been defeated by Kou Feng, but the achievements in pacifying the north in the early years are still there. Now they must become kings, why not?" Jia Xu asked rhetorically.

Jia Xu is a rare wise man in the world, and his words are enough to stabilize Cao Cao's heart.Seeing that Jia Xu did not object, Cao Cao nodded in relief.

"It's enough merit, I'm afraid the aristocratic family will not accept it." Chen Qun said with a little worry.

"If you don't accept it, let them not accept it. Anyway, Wei Guogu has been established." Cao Cao didn't care.

Cao Cao reused poor families and had more conflicts with the gentry.But the gentry felt resentful, but they had to surrender to Cao Cao, and had gained status and wealth.

This is almost completely different from Sun Quan relying on the gentry as a stable foundation.

Cao Cao has the domineering, courage, and environment regardless of the gentry.

Chen Qun hesitated, but finally nodded and stopped objecting.

At present, only Cao Cao is in charge of the world.Jia Xu and Chen Qun are just aides.Now that Prime Minister Cao Cao has decided, this matter is nailed to the iron plate.

The next morning is the court meeting.

It was just dawn, but the civil and military officials headed by Prime Minister Cao Cao had already gathered outside the palace.Today, Cao Cao's momentum seems to be particularly full.

The eyes are sharp, and they are very dignified in the shining.

Everyone he saw seemed submissive.

Something big must happen today.Many people couldn't help guessing in their hearts.

The Kingdom of Wei was established.I will be Wei Yuanxun.

Although Chen Qun opposed Cao Cao's ascension to the throne yesterday, it was not that he did not support Cao Cao, but he had concerns.I am still very happy that Cao Cao ascended the throne.

After all, if he is Wei Chen, he is the founding father of the country.His name is left in the annals of history.

Jia Xu's expression was a little calm. He has experienced countless storms in his life, and he is not very excited about this so-called founding father.

It's just a matter of everyone's guessing.A guard inside opened the gate of the palace and welcomed all the officials to enter.

Under Cao Cao's majesty, the officials did not dare to make any guesses, and entered the palace one by one, and went straight to the main hall.

After entering the hall, Cao Cao was naturally in the front seat.

After all the officials sat down one after another, the emperor Liu Xie came out wearing a crown suit amidst the eunuchs' cries.

Liu Xiegui is the emperor, but he is no more than a puppet.Although there are occasional joyful colors, such as when Kou Feng defeated Cao Cao.But most of them are in depression, and it is the same at this moment, basically expressionless.

"Do you have a book to play, Zhu Qing?" Liu Xie asked after sitting down.

After hearing the words, all the officials turned their attention to Cao Cao in front of him.

"Report to Your Majesty, please help Prime Minister Cao Gong to put an end to the disaster." Chen Qun came out to the center of the hall and bowed down.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world has been in chaos. All the princes have different ideas. At that time, the emperor ordered not to go out of the capital. Only the prime minister, Cao Gong, led the people to welcome the emperor, and assisted the emperor to put down the chaos. Now the north is peaceful. The merit of this prime minister is also, I ask the emperor to follow Recording the prime minister's previous achievements, he should be entrusted to the Duke of Wei." Although Chen Qun spoke in a consistent tone, he was very threatening.

Even the title of Wei has been decided by himself, what is it if it is not coercion?

Emperor Liu Xie was expressionless at first, but suddenly his veins burst out.Wei, Wei.Has even the country title of Han started to be replaced?

As Liu Xie is the emperor, Cao Cao's move is tantamount to seizing the country.

Of course he felt angry, but what about anger?Liu Xie thought decadently, sooner or later there will be such a day, sooner or later there will be such a day.

Yes, ever since Liu Xie felt the threat of Cao Cao, he knew that there would be such a day, and it was only a matter of time.

Liu Xie first raised his head and glanced at the nominal Hanchen above the hall.But no one dared to step forward to protect his left and right.

"Master Chen." But at this time, Xun Yu planned to speak.However, he was grabbed by Jia Xu beside him.And his eyes were sharp, full of intentions to tell Xun Yu not to say more.

Xun Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Cao Cao was right, Xun Yu was indeed nostalgic for the Han Dynasty.But he was from a rich family, so he had many concerns, so he really couldn't be a lonely minister.

Xun Yu bowed his head guiltily.

Originally, Liu Xie was secretly delighted when he saw Xun Yu speak.But seeing Xun Yu suddenly lowered his head, he was even more desperate.

I couldn't help but have an urge to smash the jar.

"The merit of the prime minister lies in the country. It is deserved to be entrusted to Wei." Liu Xie said bluntly, and then issued an order: "The imperial edict seals the prime minister, Cao Cao, as the Duke of Wei, with [-] households. The capital is set in Ye He is the head of the princes of the Han Dynasty." After speaking, Liu Xie walked away without saying a word.

However, the ministers can no longer control Liu Xie.

Cao Cao sealed Wei and established the State of Wei.Such a major event has already made the officials excited.

Everyone has long forgotten that they are Hanchens, but Weichens are proud.

In the summer of the 15th year of Jian'an, the emperor issued an edict stating that Cao Cao was the Duke of Wei, with [-] households in Shiyi, and the capital was set in Ye.

One month later, Cao Cao established the State of Wei in Yecheng, set up hundreds of officials, and awarded Xia Houyuan and other confidants the title of State of Wei.
