I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

"Damn it!"

Liu Bei gritted his teeth again and shouted angrily, "Cao Cao is deceiving people too much."

"Is there no other way?" Liu Bei asked again.

No one made a sound.

Subconsciously, Liu Bei's eyes turned to Zhuge Liang again, and he hoped that Zhuge Liang would have a solution.

"Lord."

Zhuge Liang said: "Hanzhong is now in the hands of Liu Zhe. If the lord captures Yizhou, how will Hanzhong be dealt with in the future?"

Hanzhong is very important to Yizhou and is the gateway to Shu.Moreover, Hanzhong is located in the north, and it has a condescending trend towards Yizhou.

Hanzhong was in the hands of Liu Zhe, and even if Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he would not be able to sleep peacefully.

Zhuge Liang was also worried about this problem.

After capturing Yizhou, unless you can endure the feeling of being threatened, you must capture Hanzhong.

But to capture Hanzhong, you must offend Liu Zhe, and Liu Zhe will not give up Hanzhong easily.It can be foreseen that in the future, Liu Bei will definitely face Liu Zhe and compete around Hanzhong.

This time, Liu Bei quickly understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

"Kong Ming, are you saying that since you want to fight against Liu Zhe in the future, why don't you fight against Liu Zhe now?" Liu Bei asked.

Now sending troops to help Cao Cao, but instead can please Cao Cao, let Cao Cao support him to make the king.

Faced with Liu Bei's question, Zhuge Liang did not answer immediately, he continued to speak out, "But if this is the case, Liu Zhe will be hostile to the lord, and when the lord is plotting to seize Yizhou, his subordinates are afraid that he will intervene."

The faces of everyone present became serious.

If Liu Zhe intervenes, it will definitely cause great obstruction to Liu Bei, and may even fail.

This is not a joke, Liu Zhe's strength is there, and he occupies an advantageous position in Hanzhong. It is very easy to intervene.

Zhuge Liang was silent, he told the good and bad of things, and let Liu Bei make his own decision.

Liu Bei also became serious, his brows furrowed.

This is a difficult problem, and if the operation is not good, it is a proposition.

Sending troops to reinforce Cao Cao now can allow Cao Cao to support himself in the title of king. At the same time, it will offend Liu Zhe and cause Liu Zhe's hostility, which is very unfavorable for him to enter Yizhou.

If he does not fight, he will offend Cao Cao, he will not get Cao Cao's support, and he will not be able to be crowned king. However, he can temporarily avoid the intersection with Liu Zhe and continue to keep a low profile in front of Liu Zhe.

But as long as he captured Yizhou in the future, he would have to have a conflict with Liu Zhe because of the Hanzhong issue, and he would inevitably get Liu Zhe's hostility at that time.

How to choose?

Liu Bei was very depressed, very tangled, his brows were wrinkled, and his face was serious, showing the fierce confrontation in his heart. ..

2569 Liu Bei's final decision

"What do you think?" Liu Bei asked his subordinates again.

"My lord, what are you afraid of Liu Zhe?"

Zhu Huan was the first to speak out. He said, "According to the views of his subordinates, we simply sent troops to help Cao Ren, clean up Zhang He, and let Liu Zhe know how powerful the lord is. Let him not dare to be the enemy of the lord."

"When the time comes for the lord to seize Yizhou, maybe he will be afraid, so he will obediently withdraw from Hanzhong and hand over Hanzhong."

Many people shook their heads secretly in their hearts, would Liu Zhe be afraid?Just a joke.

This remark made Liu Bei feel comfortable. If this is the case, it would be the best.

However, Liu Bei also knew that this could only be said. Liu Zhe was not even afraid of Cao Cao, so would he be afraid of Liu Bei?

Liu Bei believed that if Cao Cao hadn't blocked him, Liu Zhe would have come to attack him long ago.

"Lord."

Jian Yong spoke up, and he said: "This subordinate thinks that since this is the case, you might as well suspend it. The matter of conferring the king can wait until Yizhou has been captured. When the lord is about to send troops to Hanzhong, he can seek to make the king again. At that time, Cao Cao estimates I would also be happy for the lord to send troops to Hanzhong to fight against Liu Zhe, so the subordinates estimate that he will also support the lord and make him king at that time."

"Your opinion is to ask the lord to give up the title of king now?" Sun Gan said angrily.

"Since I don't want to attract Liu Zhe's attention so quickly, so as not to affect the master's plan, the subordinates feel that they can give up temporarily." Jian Yong said.

"What about the future?"

Sun Gan and Jian Yong were the first old people to follow Liu Bei. This time, he disagreed with Jian Yong. He disagreed with Jian Yong's opinion.

"In the future, Cao Cao needs to rely on the lord. Seeing that the lord takes the initiative to deal with Liu Zhe, he will definitely support the lord and let the lord deal with Liu Zhe."

Jian Yong said: "Then it will be the chance for the lord."

"There are many ways for Cao Cao to support the lord, but what if he just doesn't support the lord and the king?"

Sun Gan asked: "You know, even if Cao Cao doesn't support the lord and crown prince, the lord will have to deal with Liu Zhe."

"It's better to take the opportunity now and let Cao Cao support the lord and make him king."

Sun Gan thought for a while and said, "Also, it can let Liu Zhe know that the lord and Cao Cao are already standing together. In the future, when attacking Hanzhong, Liu Zhe will not dare to attack with all his strength, he must guard against Cao Cao."

The emperor is now Cao Cao's puppet, and Cao Cao has the final say in the important affairs of the court. If Cao Cao agrees to let Liu Bei be crowned king, Liu Bei can be crowned king. Otherwise, even if the emperor agrees to crown Liu Bei as king, Liu Bei cannot be crowned king.

"In the future, even if Cao Cao does not support the lord to be crowned king, the lord can be the king by himself."
