The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 380 Proclaiming Emperor
After staying in Demoling for another half a month, Jiangdong agreed that everything had been decided, and Wei Tao immediately left Jiangdong with Sun Shangxiang.

It's not that Jiangdong is bad, but Wei Tao has always had great ambitions. How could he be willing to indulge himself in this gentle village? After confirming that Jiangdong is indeed fine, he naturally took it back to his territory immediately.

When he returned to Jingzhou, Wei Tao had already discovered that with the temporary pacification of the war, the whole Jingzhou fell into a state of tranquility, as if all kinds of battles had never happened before.

It wasn't until Zhou Yu reported all the casualties during these days that Wei Tao realized that his losses during these days were not small.

"Gongjin, what do you think I am doing now? Judging from the situation, Cao Cao and Liu Bei probably already know the reality of our army, and they dare to stick to everything and wait for our army to take action, right?"

Things in Jiangdong went so smoothly, and even changed the situation in Jingzhou because of this. Cao Cao and Liu Bei retreated one after another. It is naturally impossible to say that Wei Tao is not at all proud.

However, although Wei Tao is also "satisfied", he has never "lost himself", and is not prepared to act blindly.

"Now our army has occupied half of the world, and its strength is strong. As long as it accumulates strength, it will surely be able to calm down the world, and then it is time to realize my long-cherished wish!"

"My lord said the same thing, but there is one thing that my lord may not have thought of. Although Cao Cao did not see any action, but after Liu Bei was promoted to the king of Hanzhong, he was fighting hard. Some soldiers came out of Yangguan to fight with our army. trend."

"If so?"

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao couldn't help but frowned. Shu was weaker than Wei in history, but it always took the initiative to fight against Wei. Unexpectedly, it would be like this when facing him now. Waiting for the way of self-improvement also made Wei Tao look at him with admiration.

This is the way for a small country to seek strength!
After receiving Zhou Yu's affirmative answer, Wei Tao spoke slowly after being slightly silent.

"This time the situation is different from the previous ones. No matter what advantage Liu Bei has, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not just sit on the sidelines. Once Liu Bei makes a move, Cao Jun will definitely come! I wonder what Gongjin can do to deal with it? "

"My lord, now that Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong and Cao Cao is the Duke of Jin and Wei, in comparison, the title of lord and general is no longer enough to command the world. I also ask my lord to proclaim the emperor and fight for the world in the name of emperor."

Zhou Yu didn't say a solution, but Fa just persuaded Wei Tao to be promoted like others.

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu would directly persuade him this time. However, Wei Tao's two lives are not as entangled as Cao Cao in history. As long as he can achieve his ambition to expel foreigners and protect the people of the Han people good.

In addition, Wei Tao was also prepared, so he was just a little taken aback, then he came back to his senses, nodded to Zhou Yu and said.

"Gongjin's words are very true, but proclaiming emperor is not a trivial matter, I should think about it carefully. Besides, what else can I do to deal with it?"

"Yes, my lord wants to respond to Cao Cao and Liu Bei. In addition to this name, I should rely on my strength. However, our army is not strong enough now, so we can only defend for a while."

Zhou Yu nodded, instead of persuading him, he talked about precautionary measures. He knew that Wei Tao had already made up his mind after years of getting along with him, and after that, other courtiers should do what they should do.

"However, with my lord's temperament, if it's just defense, I'm afraid it's not my lord's true intention. My lord still wants to be able to defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so my lord should not only be on guard, but also use up the strength of his army to prepare for a counterattack."

"Then what does Gongjin think it should be?"

Wei Tao nodded. This is a grand strategy, so of course he agrees, but this question, Wei Tao still asked what should be done.

"My lord, although Cao Cao is not as good as my lord, he still has half of the world, and in recent years, Cao Cao has recuperated and recuperated, and has not been fighting around like our army. He is extremely powerful. If he is forced to attack It may not be victorious, so I thought that Cao Cao should be garrisoned first, so as not to change, and Liu Bei should be defeated first!"

Zhou Yu said slowly, with an extremely serious expression.

"Although Liu Bei is also very strong, but after all, there is only one state in Xichuan. It is difficult for a state to fight against the lord. Now he wants to use the method of attack instead of defense to gather the hearts of Xichuan and attack our army. This kind of method is very wonderful, but if the lord can be defeated, he can destroy his military strength in one fell swoop, and then attack Xichuan, and he can go straight in. Although Xichuan is a difficult road, But after thousands of years, it is not that there are no common roads. When seeing the unfavorable situation, some people in Xichuan must be frightened by it, and they must surrender at that time, just like those Jiangdong gentry, so although Xichuan It’s because the roads are complicated, so it’s definitely not the master’s problem!”

Wei Tao nodded, Zhou Yu's meaning was very clear, that is to severely injure the invading enemy.

Of course, this matter sounds simple, but it is not simple. If Liu Bei attacks, it must be Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge was cautious all his life, this is the evaluation of Zhuge Liang in the previous life, and in this life, Wei Tao also fought against Zhuge Liang, maybe Zhuge Liang did not have the courage to put all his eggs in one basket, but every time he arranged, he kept his back hand, even if the plan was wrong, It is also non-destructive.

Such people may miss some opportunities, but they can often keep their fundamentals intact. It is indeed not that simple to win.

"What Gongjin said is not bad."

After a while of contemplation, Wei Tao finally spoke slowly.

"If Liu Bei and Cao Cao attack, I will respond to Liu Bei, but who can stop Cao Cao?"

There are many advisers and generals under Wei Tao's command, but there are not many people who can stop Cao Cao's life as a hero. Among them, although Xun You is not like Xun Yu, if he proclaims himself emperor, he may at most hold an official position Help yourself to take care of the housework, it is impossible to lead the army anymore.

As for Zhuge Jin, now that he has arrived in the northern border, he is allowing the foreigners from the northern region to integrate into the great Han. It is just when the results are seen, and he cannot be separated at all, not to mention that he may not be Cao Cao's opponent.

As for others, although there are people like Zhang Liao and Xu Huang who stand alone, but if it is Cao Cao's subordinates, it is no problem, but it is not easy to respond to Cao Cao himself.

The previous battle of Jingzhou has already shown that Zhang Liao and Xu Huang can still cope with Cao Cao and Liu Bei watching from the sidelines, but when Jiangdong is in crisis, they will not be able to support them under the strong attack of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. If it is not for Sun Quan's own direct line In the end, if Sun Quan surrendered in order to protect the wealth of the Sun family, I am afraid that Wei Tao will fall short in the end.

As for others such as Pang Tong, Lu Xun, etc., it is possible to block Cao Cao based on their talents alone, but their prestige in the army is not deep. .

"My lord, let me let my younger brother go for this matter. Cao Cao is very strong. My younger brother can't guarantee that he can defeat him, but he must do his best to keep the territory intact and win the victory of our army!"

Zhou Yu also understood that only he could handle this matter, so there was not much hesitation at the moment, and he just stood up and bowed to Wei Tao.

"In this battle, no matter whether it is against Cao Cao or Liu Bei, there is no possibility of a quick victory, but our army occupies the vastness of the world. In a protracted battle, even if Cao Cao and Liu Bei work together, it is impossible for our army to be an opponent. My lord, there is no need to be anxious, but you can deal with it slowly."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, what Zhou Yu said was right, and he didn't need to be anxious at this time, as long as he dispatched troops to deal with it.

Wei Tao was silent, but Wei Tao's advisers and generals kept writing letters to persuade them to advance, saying that everyone in the world was eagerly looking forward to Wei Tao's enthronement as emperor.

The ministers persuaded him to come in, the first time, Wei Tao resigned forcefully, the second time, Wei Tao still resigned, the third time, Wei Tao finally agreed.

Afterwards, preparations will be made immediately for the event, and everything in the old capital Luoyang will be restored to its original appearance. Wei Tao will sacrifice to heaven and earth here and declare the capital established.

All kinds of ceremonies are naturally handled by someone, but everything is ready in January, and then Wei Tao walks up to the altar in person during a ceremony, and then sincerely reports to God.

"Sue to the heavens: Han has lost its virtue, and the world has no master. Now it has ruled the four directions, expelled the foreigners, and protected our people in the Central Plains to live and work in peace and contentment. I will inherit the emperor's career in order to calm the hearts of the world. I swear here that my dynasty We must protect the safety of the people, drive away the enemies of the foreign tribes, make the people healthy and healthy, and never suffer from the foreign tribes. The Daliang Dynasty will be established from now on!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

As Wei Tao prayed and prayed to the heavens, the voices of cheers rang out, and all the people in the world surrendered.
Amidst the cheers, Wei Tao changed into the Nine Dragon Emperor robe and the flat sky crown on his head. With a sweep of his eyes, his prestige rose, and Wei Tao even sealed the officials, and everyone was rewarded.

All of a sudden, when the news spread, the whole world looked at it, and no one knew Wei Tao's name.

Hearing that Wei Tao proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Bei was furious immediately. He ordered his troops to pass through Hanzhong, and came out of the sun.

Faced with this situation, Wei Tao was naturally prepared, knowing that once he became emperor, Cao Cao and Liu Bei would definitely move. He immediately followed Zhou Yu's previous plan and ordered Zhou Yu to resist Cao Cao.

However, compared to Cao Cao, Wei Tao did not act immediately when facing Liu Bei. After all, Shu Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not just difficult to attack against foreign enemies. This is especially true for grain transportation, so although Liu Bei first proposed to attack Wei Tao, in fact it was Cao Cao who sent troops faster.

Of course, Wei Tao was not completely defenseless, so he immediately sent Zhang Liao to take precautions.

With Wei Tao proclaiming emperor, the war will begin!
