The Three Kingdoms are invincible

During the First Battle of Jingzhou, Cao Cao failed to successfully take over the entire territory of Jingzhou in the end, which is a bit embarrassing, but what is gratifying is that the important officials and families of Jingzhou are all under his control.

The Cai family, the Kuai family, including the Pang family and the Huang family, these families that had a pivotal influence in Jingzhou, are all in the hands of Cao Cao now.

Liu Biao was captured by Cao Cao and escorted to Xuchang.Although Liu Biao became a prisoner, he was still a relative of the emperor, so Cao Cao would not treat him harshly.After detaining Liu Biao to Xuchang, Cao Cao even gave Liu Biao a very grand courtesy, allowing him to live in the most beautiful house in Xuchang, and sending the best servants to his house to take care of him, which can be said to be extremely preferential treatment.Of course, it is undeniable that although Liu Biao will have no worries about food and clothing and enjoy luxury in the future, he will no longer be free to speak of from now on.

The only major event that happened in the ninth year of Jian'an was the partition of Jingzhou by Cao Cao and Sun Jian, but the impact of this event was far-reaching.

Not long after returning to Xuchang from Jingzhou, Cao Cao began to plan another major event.

This time, instead of attacking the territories of other princes, it was an event that shocked the world even more.

On the [-]th day of the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an, when the people in Xuchang City were still lingering in the atmosphere of the New Year, Yilang Huaxin presented himself to Emperor Han and asked Cao Cao to be the Duke of Wei.

As soon as this watch came out, the world was shocked!

For a long time, although Cao Cao has coerced the emperor to order the princes, at least he has not shown any obvious signs of wanting to replace the Han.Although being a prime minister and a great general ranks at the top of civil and military affairs, these two official positions are not beyond the scope of being a minister. The desire to usurp the throne.

However, now that Cao Cao wants to ask for the title of Duke Wei, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his ambition has expanded further. Perhaps he is no longer satisfied with being a powerful minister, but wants to obtain a higher status and rights.

And this Duke Wei is a stepping stone for him to reach the supreme position.

If you become the Duke of Wei today, you may become the King of Wei tomorrow, and you may even become the Emperor of Wei the day after tomorrow!

This is by no means alarmist talk, but it is indeed a fact that is very likely to happen in the future.

Although it was Hua Xin who proposed to make Cao Cao the Duke of Wei, no one would naively think that this was Hua Xin's own idea, and there would be no instructions from Cao Cao behind it.

After his ambitions grew, Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore. When he captured Jingzhou and captured Liu Biao, Cao Cao felt that the time for him to be named Duke Wei was almost ripe.Although asking to be made a duke would indeed make him a target of public criticism, but now it is not the same as before. In the past, the heroes were divided and disputes continued. Like Yuan Shao's arbitrarily conferred the title of Duke of Ye, he immediately became the object of condemnation by all the princes in the world.However, the only princes left in the Han Dynasty now are Sun Jian, Han Sui, Liu Zhang, and Zhang Lu besides himself, and among these few, except for Sun Jian's strong strength, the rest are not to be feared.Sun Jian and himself are mortal enemies. No matter whether he claims to be public or not, there is no room for mediation between the two parties.

Therefore, after Cao Cao imprisoned Liu Biao in Xuchang and his ambitions swelled, he no longer had the slightest scruples, and signaled Hua Xin to be the emperor, please make himself the Duke of Wei.

After the Hua Xin trademark, countless people were shocked and even angry. The few remaining royalists couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out to criticize Cao Cao.

After Kong Rong's death, the royalist ministers were finally overwhelmed by Cao Cao's dominance, and they all died down.After all, no matter how much they hated Cao Cao, their lives were still very important. If they couldn't save their lives, why should they continue to protect the emperor?But now, when they have to stand up, even if the final outcome is death, they are not allowed to continue to endure.

Although they know that they are doing this, the end result is likely to be a manipulator, unable to change any situation.But no matter what, they must make the minimum effort. Everyone knows that if Cao Cao cannot be prevented from proclaiming the public, the luck of the Han Dynasty may not be able to last for many years.

For these voices of opposition, Cao Cao chose to ignore them all, and he even disdained to arrest or kill those royalists.From Cao Cao's point of view at this moment, these royalists are no longer able to achieve anything. No matter how much trouble they make, they will not pose any threat to his proclaiming the Duke. Killing them may cause some twists and turns.In this case, let them continue barking.

No matter how loud these royalists bark, the matter of calling himself Duke Wei must be decided within a few days, and there will be no changes.

However, just when Cao Cao felt that the dust had settled, one person objected, and he had to pay more attention to it.

Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, the number one counselor under Cao Cao's account, expressed solemn and fierce opposition to Cao Cao's proposal to become the Duke before the emperor.
