Sima Yi analyzed for Cao Cao one by one, and Cao Cao nodded frequently.

"Zhongda, do you think this Zongzheng position should be returned?" Cao Cao pondered.

"Since the Marquis of Dongyang has resigned, why should he repay it? This matter has achieved the prestige of His Majesty and Marquis of Dongyang, and has nothing to do with you, my lord." Sima Yi reminded.

Cao Cao suddenly realized that the Marquis of Dongyang was the great enemy, and so was Emperor Xian.Cao Cao would only help them if he was stupid.

"What should be done properly?"

"My lord, either leave it vacant, or sell it to Liu Bei for a good price. Liu Bei has a good name, he will definitely be interested."

"Why so sure?"

"Liu Xuande's King of Hanzhong is not right. If he can become Zongzheng, he will be very happy."

Cao Cao thought so, so he sent Zhong Yao to Chengdu as an envoy.

Liu Bei really greeted him warmly.

Zhong Yao didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Xuande, everyone is short on time, please make a price!"

That is the position of Zongzheng!

Buy it if you want to sell it!

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "This king admits that Liangzhou is the territory of King Wei, which is sacred and inviolable."

"Not enough." Zhong Yao said with his eyes closed, after all, most of the princes who survived were shameless.

Liu Bei wanted to get rid of Zongzheng's position with one sentence, so Zhong Yao is really a fool?

"One hundred thousand bolts of silk, how many high-quality tea leaves..."

Liu Bei listed a batch of products, all dry goods.These materials are all Liu Ke intends to use to trade with Yangzhou so that he can pay his subordinates wages.

He can't even remember how long he hasn't been paid.

But Zhong Yao brought the Zongzheng position, and Liu Bei will take it no matter what!

In the end, Zhong Yao nodded in satisfaction, hehe smiled and transported the goods back to Chang'an contentedly.

There are two or three million gold in these materials.

Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief, Zhong Yao is so easy to dismiss?In Liu Bei's view, the position of Zongzheng is a priceless treasure.

Just as Liu Bei was about to announce his succession, Fazheng rushed back from Xiangjun in a hurry.

"Xiaozhi, aren't you inspecting the prefecture? Why did you come back suddenly?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

"Haha, is it possible that you came to congratulate me too? This is Zongzheng's seal, look, is it bright or not!"

However, Fazheng did not have this thought.

"My lord, you are too proud to see the danger from the dark."

Liu Bei stopped smiling, although he didn't realize it was serious, he quickly held Fazheng's hand and said, "Xiaozhi, what can you teach me?"

"The four major powers in the world today, how should the lords be ranked?" Fazheng said indifferently.

"Dongyang Hou is number one in the world!"

This point, no matter how unwilling Liu Bei is, he still has to admit it.

"Cao Mengde is next, and I am on par with Sun Bofu."

Fazheng nodded meaningfully.

"If the world is fighting again, where will the battlefield be?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, and replied: "It must be the Marquis of Dongyang who attacked Cao Cao."

Fazheng showed a childish expression.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"My lord has a very thorough view of the general trend of the world." Fazheng praised.

Liu Bei laughed out loud, this compliment made him very comfortable.

However, Fazheng changed the subject.

"But why did you accept the position of Zongzheng?"

Liu Bei was stunned, a little at a loss.

"What does Xiaozhi mean?"

"Dongyanghou was the previous Zongzheng. Now that he has given up his position, you are just 'picking up things that others don't want'. Moreover, you will be hated by Dongyanghou. Maybe after Dongyanghou recuperates, it is not Cao Cao who attacked, It's you, the King of Hanzhong."

In broad daylight, Liu Bei was taken aback.

After Fazheng's analysis, this possibility is very high.

Liu Bei has indeed been in the limelight recently, but how could he be Liu Ke's opponent?

Zongzheng's power seems to be great, and if he wants to order Dongyanghou, he is still too far away, and he is just asking for humiliation.
