Seeing Duan Xuan's confident look, Jia Xu pursed his lips and didn't know what to say.

Jia Xu himself doesn't know what such a future will become, but he knows very well that no one is Guo Peng's opponent, Guo Peng has the strength to sweep the world, what he lacks is reputation and opportunity.

He's creating a name for himself, creating a time.

With fame and opportunity, is there really anyone in the world who can fight against Guo Zifeng's ironclad hero?

Probably, no.

How long will it be before we see the earth-shaking changes and the dawn of a new era?

Suddenly, Jia Xu's heart had a little more expectation.

The news that the imperial court was going to give Guo Peng a feudal state had already spread to Jingzhou and Xuzhou, and then to Jiangdong, and soon, from Jingzhou to Yizhou when Guo Peng had not returned to Yecheng.

About the second time Guo Peng refused this reward, everyone in the world knew the news.

When Tao Qian knew the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then inexplicably frightened.

"Fiefdom statehood, this is the rule of the pre-Qin, since the Qin Dynasty, the abolition of the fifth rank of the prince and the prince, and the use of the twenty-level military merit, what is the court going to do? Reinstate the fifth-class title system? ”

Tao Qian looked at the generals under his command and asked anxiously.

Yuan Shu was finished, and Guo Peng controlled the entire Central Plains except Xuzhou and coerced Xuzhou.

Although he did not enter Xuzhou, Tao Qian found out that Guo Peng had set up an army in Jiujiang County, with a number of about 5,000 people, and he practiced constantly every day.

Because of Yuan Shu's death, Tao Qian suddenly found that he had no protective umbrella, and he was so fragile without his protective umbrella.

Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000 was vulnerable under Guo Peng's attack, and it was wiped out, Tao Qian didn't think that his military strength was stronger than Yuan Shu, so once Guo Peng had an idea about him, could he hold on?

He was afraid.

And now the news of the establishment of this feudal state is a little inexplicable.

"Except for some kings with different surnames at the beginning of the founding of the country, there is no such precedent in this dynasty, Guo Zifeng has set a precedent, and I don't know what the people of the world think."

Cao Hong looked at Tao Qian: "But in any case, for us, this is good news, because in this way, Guo Zifeng should not have the energy to invade Xuzhou." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Tao Qian suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Hong: "That's right! That's right! Guo Zifeng is busy building a feudal state, so he has no time to invade Xuzhou, and Xuzhou will be safe! Right! Hahahaha! Xuzhou is safe! It's safe! Hahahaha! ”

Tao Qian, who was full of white hair and wrinkles, smiled so happily for the first time since he attacked Yuan Shu.

The wrinkles on his face were all smiling.

Seeing Tao Qian's appearance, Chen Deng became more and more disappointed in Tao Qian, and even disgusted with Tao Qian's rule.

He was a little anxious, a little worried.

He knew that Guo Peng's side would definitely succeed in building a feudal state and creating a new era, and the Chen family had to make a statement, otherwise, once Guo Peng straightened out the interior and began to move against the south, Chen's interests in Xuzhou could not be guaranteed.

After Tao Qian arranged the task of Zang Ba and Cao Bao to lead the army to guard the border and protect Xuzhou, the meeting was dispersed, and Chen Deng returned home and told Chen Qi about the matter.

"It's come to this point? Yuanlong, do you think Guo Zifeng will accept the reward for the establishment of the state? ”

"I think it will."

Chen Deng opened his mouth and said: "It's just that I don't know why the imperial court did this, in order to win over Guo Zifeng, for fear that he would move his troops westward and advance to Hongnong?" ”

"That's the only explanation."

Chen Qi sighed and said: "Guo Zifeng once captured Yuan Highway and cleared all the obstacles, the world is so big, there is no one who can stop Guo Zifeng, Yuan Long, how did you do what your father asked you to do?" ”

"I have sent someone to contact the Mi family, and use the relationship of the Mi family to contact Guo Zifeng, but, father, with what we can take out at the moment, it should not be enough, we have to take out more, so that we can exchange peace from Guo Zifeng's side."

Chen Deng looked at Chen Qi, and Chen Qi nodded slowly.

"The situation has become too fast, I didn't expect Yuan Highway to suddenly become emperor, and I didn't expect Guo Zifeng to destroy Yuan Highway so easily, we have to act as soon as possible, we can't let the situation continue to deteriorate."

"I understand, father."

On the Xuzhou side, the Chen father and son have already decided the path they will take in the future.

And on Jingzhou's side, Cai Mao is also glad for the decision she made in time.

However, Liu Biao obviously didn't feel very lucky, but was afraid and a little annoyed.

"Feudal statehood? Are you kidding! Has there been such a thing since the establishment of this dynasty? Guo Zifeng defeated Yuan Highway, wouldn't it be nice to reward him with an official position! The feudal state was founded, is this to destroy the dynasty? ”

Liu Biao was very angry at the meeting, and his subordinates were silent.

"General, what the Hongnong Imperial Court is thinking about must be to win over Guo Zifeng, they are very worried that Guo Zifeng will take advantage of the situation to move westward and seize Hongnong, cutting off their way of life, so they have such a move, so that Guo Zifeng cannot go west."

Kuai Yue said: "As soon as the feudal state was founded, there was no such thing as this dynasty, and looking at that meaning, this is not like the feudal state of the kings, but like the feudal state of the pre-Qin period, Zhou Tianzi has no control and allows him to dominate the feudal country." ”

"I know, that's why I'm angry!"

Liu Biao said angrily: "What do those Liangzhou people think of Han Tianzi? What did you think of the imperial court? Is this how the Han family was abused by them? As a member of the Han family, can I sit idly by? I'm going to send troops! I'm going to crusade against Hongnong! ”

Liu Biao slapped the table and roared angrily.

Men, look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

There was a sudden hint of embarrassment in the scene.

"Why don't you speak?"

Liu Biao withdrew his hand and could only break this embarrassing situation by himself.

"General, Hongnong is the Son of Heaven after all, the general recognizes the status of the Son of Heaven, and now he wants to crusade against Hongnong, in the eyes of the people of the world, isn't this a vassal to the king?"

Cai Mao said in a low voice.

"I ......"

Liu Biao was also a little embarrassed: "I don't think so, I mean, this matter can't be a decision made by the Son of Heaven, it must be a decision made by a thief in Liangzhou!" They held the Son of Heaven hostage and humiliated the Son of Heaven, and everyone in the world knows it! ”

"Whether the people of the world know it or not, but the edict of the Son of Heaven, the seal of the Son of Heaven, the name of the Son of Heaven, the general, the name is right."

Kuai Yue said: "If we want to oppose and crusade against the righteous things, how will we respect the orthodoxy of the Han family in the future?" ”

Liu Biao's heart became more and more annoyed and desolate.

He found out that these people were just unwilling to cooperate with him in sending troops.

Everything else is easy to say, when it comes to sending troops, when it comes to letting them support money and food, it is a thousand and ten thousand who are not happy!

Do you want to keep your money and food for the funeral?!

Liu Biao wanted to yell like this, but it didn't work.

No one will pay attention to him, they will still act according to their own interests, and Liu Biao is actually quite powerless.

For Liu Biao, he has no cronies, no basic disk, and no resources that can be directly controlled, he is very weak, nominally with 100,000 armor, but in fact he can only defend, not attack, and all his ambitions have been consumed in Jingzhou.

In the end, Liu Biao didn't get any meaningful reply, some just admonished, exhorting him not to make incorrect behaviors on impulse, these incorrect behaviors are very terrible and hurtful, Liu Biao must understand this.

Liu Biao was destined not to go north.
