The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 410 Cao Cao named King Wei

"call……"

Slowly put down the message just received in his hand, but Cao Cao let out a long sigh of relief, remained silent for a while, and then spoke slowly after a long time.

"Ziyu can go so far, I can't do it!"

Cao Cao is a very proud person, plus Cao Cao's ability is extraordinary, now that he suddenly heard Cao Cao's words, the expressions of many counselors beside him were a little strange.

Cao Cao usually doesn't boast about others, let alone compare himself, even Wei Tao.

"Why did my lord say that?"

Cheng Yu is one of the oldest advisors under Cao Cao's account, and unlike Xun Yu who originally turned to support the emperor and broke with Cao Cao, and then supported Cao Cao again for the sake of the great man, Cheng Yu has always supported Cao Cao.

So Cheng Yu is naturally different in Cao Cao's mind, and he is the only one who can ask such questions without making Cao Cao feel disgusted.

"I lament that Ziyu is always the same!"

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and then spoke seriously.

"I'm afraid you don't care about it. Wei Tao can be regarded as the emperor now, but he still goes into battle like a general, and even fights with barbarians. How can he have the demeanor of an emperor, let alone for the mere barbarians? Even though Meng Huo surrendered in the end, the risk involved was too great.”

The news that Cao Cao just put down was the news of Meng Huo's surrender.

Speaking of which, Meng Huo's surrender was not unexpected. Wei Tao's conditions were indeed harsh, but as long as Meng Huo had no intention of accompanying him to death, he would naturally surrender.

In fact, this was also related to Cao Cao. When Liu Bei was still there, Cao Cao did rush to attack Wei Tao, but was blocked by Zhou Yu, but this also restrained Wei Tao's energy.

But when Liu Bei was defeated and the Nanman invaded, although Cao Cao ordered the general to continue to attack Wei Tao, he actually returned to Xuchang, and the threat to Wei Tao declined.

At this time, the people here will naturally know about it, but no one will mention it.

After all, Nanman is a barbarian foreign race!
"What the prime minister said is exactly what we think. As the king of a country, if you take such a risk, wouldn't it be easy to lose the big because of small things? And if it weren't for Wei Tao's good luck, I'm afraid this result has already happened."

Cheng Yu said bluntly, but what he said made Xun Yu and others a little dissatisfied. Cheng Yu admitted that Wei Tao is the king of a country.

Now that the Great Han Dynasty is still there, what is it to admit that Wei Tao is the king of a country?
It's just that Cao Cao seems to have the same attitude, which makes it difficult for them to attack.

"Don't you forget that what Wei Tao said to himself is not for glory, wealth, or even the highest position, but for the people to live in peace and never be invaded by foreign tribes. Now that Wei Tao has never Is it possible to do it? Even if I am in my position, I am afraid I can’t do it, so how can I not sigh?"

Cao Cao let out another long breath, and slowly got up and paced.

"I, Cao A, kept asking myself that what I have done all my life is worthy of my ambition, but the word 'hero' has nothing to do with me, Cao Cao!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. While looking at each other, it was Cheng Yu who spoke again.

"My lord, why do you want to underestimate yourself? The only one in the world who can block Wei Tao is the lord! And if there is no lord, I don't know what kind of situation the big man will be in! Now it is really all thanks to the lord."

Hearing what Cheng Yu said, Cao Cao just shook his head and laughed.

"A mere Zhou Yu has resisted me for several months. Although there is a small victory, he still can't take a step beyond the thunder pool. How can he resist? In the past, Gongjin and Ziyu were sworn brothers or I, Cao Mengde, witnessed it, but I don't want to see this day. .”

After hearing Cao Cao say this, no one could continue to speak for a while.

"That's all! No matter what, Wei Tao and I will have a battle now, but now Wei Tao is the emperor, and I am just Wei Gong. With such unequal status, how can we meet the enemy?"

Cao Cao didn't care, and soon got up, took two steps back and forth, and said leisurely.

"If the name is not right, the words will not go well! It is really embarrassing for a prince to welcome the emperor!"

"My lord must not!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xun Yu quickly got up and shook his hands repeatedly. With Xun Yu's resourcefulness, he could naturally think of what Cao Cao meant.

Cao Cao meant to go one step further.

Those who do not have the surname of Liu cannot be crowned king, this is the precept of the great Han ancestors.

It can be said that Cao Cao has already reached the peak of being a minister, and it is impossible to go further. Now that Cao Cao has revealed this meaning, isn't that what he wants to be crowned king, or even go one step further, to be called emperor?

Even knowing that as Cao Cao's strength becomes stronger and stronger, it will become more and more impossible to return to the emperor, but the King of Wei and the Duke of Wei are different after all.

Duke Wei only stopped at Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao died, his descendants may not be able to reach this point.

But now there is still news that Cao Cao suffers from headaches, and Cao Cao has passed the age of "knowing the destiny", so the big man still has some hope.

But once the king is named, it is different. The king will be passed down hereditary. Even if Cao Cao has never become emperor, his heirs and grandchildren will not become emperor?

What Xun Yu thought was very far away, so he wanted to stop it.

But this time Cao Cao called all his counselors not to discuss with them, but to announce the matter. Even if this matter will lead to the loss of talents like Xun Yu again, Cao Cao will not hesitate.

As soon as he raised his hand, Cao Cao stopped Cheng Yu and others from rebutting. Cao Cao naturally knew that with the ability of Cheng Yu and others, they could say something to stop them, but Cao Cao thought it was unnecessary.

Because he is determined to follow.

"Gongda, you have known me for a long time, you should know my heart! I have two wishes in my life, one is to calm the world, and to conquer the Western Regions is to conquer the Western Regions! It is a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes, and my two ambitions are difficult to display. Especially the emperor hates me now, but he himself does not have the ability to govern the country, which makes it even more difficult I'm disappointed."

Cao Cao spoke slowly, every word he said was his heartfelt voice, but those who heard it were all silent.

"The world says that I, Cao Cao, are a traitor to the country and a rebellious minister, but they really don't know my heart. However, I, Cao Cao, don't need him to know my heart! However, everyone knows the current affairs, and Wei Tao dominates the world. I am the only one left behind. .Even if I don’t take the position, so what? Can Wei Tao tolerate it? It’s just that I’m doing my best for it.”

Xun Yu is silent, drinking poison to quench his thirst, just struggling to die, but it still makes people flock to him, let alone it has not been like this now?
After all, it's not easy for him, Xun Yu, to talk too much.

Of course, with Xun Yu's ability, he also knew that it would be useless to say anything, and after this incident, with Cao Cao's ability, I am afraid that even if he does not usurp the throne and become emperor, he will not be able to change the fate of the great man in the end.

All of a sudden, Xun Yu felt a sense of loss of spirit and fell silent.

Xun Yu, the leader, chose to give up. It was impossible for anyone else to stand up to Cao Cao. At this moment, Cheng Yujian stood up and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Meet King Wei."

"Meet King Wei!"

The rest of the people were all excited by Cheng Yu's hand, but at this time it is impossible not to reveal their identities. Except for one or two stubborn people like Xun Yu, the others are making a fuss. After hesitating, they all bowed down.

This is still a counselor. As for the other generals, they didn't hesitate at all when they heard this. It can be said that apart from Cao Cao, even the emperor can't command them.

That night, Cao Cao ordered people to pass the news to the palace.

Liu Xie is no longer a child at this age, and after experiencing so many things, Liu Xie knows that at this time he has no ability to stop him at all.

Except for one or two close eunuchs, Liu Xie didn't have any manpower in Xuchang, and even those one or two close eunuchs would never dare to disobey Cao Cao's order.

Under the current situation, what can Liu Xie do?
It can only be obedient and obedient, at most, that is, shed tears when alone.

"The ancestors of the Great Han Dynasty, their sons and ministers were not filial, causing the country to fall into the hands of others and unable to save them. Until now, the king has been crowned, and the Great Han will eventually be gone..."

The whimpering sound continued, but the sound was so thin that it could not even be heard in this room.

Cao Cao is not Dong Zhuo, but Cao Cao is also Cao Cao. He will not be angry and embarrass the emperor because of some trivial things, but his deterrence is greater than that of Dong Zhuo in the past.

The next day, all the officials invited Cao Cao to be the king of Wei. Although Liu Xie was expressionless, at least he was not so angry that he lost his face, so he agreed to make Cao Cao the king.

However, Cao Cao refused to accept it.

For Cao Cao's move, many people are well aware of it, and if they ask for it one day, Cao Cao refuses to accept it, and if they ask for three days, Cao Cao will accept it.

Wei Wang Cao Cao, compared to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Wei Tao who directly proclaimed himself emperor, perhaps Cao Cao's actions are nothing.

However, those who do not have the surname of Liu cannot be crowned king. This is the ancestral instruction of the great man. Cao Cao's move has torn off the last layer of fig leaf. So far, in the hearts of the people in the world, the great man has died.

But now the world is a situation where two heroes are confronting each other, and Wei Tao doesn't really feel much about it. At most, he just thinks that he gave the emperor to Cao Cao in the past, and finally it is the current situation. At most, Cao Cao will go one step further , Let Liu Xiechan give up his position.

However, as soon as January passed, Cao Cao was always dealing with his political affairs, and at the same time was preparing to fight Wei Tao, but he had no intention of forcing Han Emperor Liu Xiechan to give up his throne.

This also made Wei Tao a bit puzzled. Of course, Wei Tao didn't know one more thing. On the day Cao Cao took the throne as King Wei, he had a short period of time to be alone. It was at that time that Cao Cao treated himself differently Word.

"Ziyu, this will be the final battle between me and you to determine the fate of the country. If I win, I will save the man's spirit. In the future, the two dragons will go hand in hand. If I win for you, then I will give you the last big gift." , I, Cao Mengde, did it for my old dream..."
