Chapter 122: Licking the calf

Xu Du, the foreman of the Wei Kingdom's Xiangguo Huaxin sang the drama of usurping the Han Dynasty.

On the fifteenth day of April, Hua Xin came out of the line and said: "Looking at the King of Wei, since his accession to the throne, Debu Quartet, benevolence and all things, the more ancient and modern, although Tang and Yu have no way to pass this." The meeting of the ministers, the words of Hanzuo have ended, I hope that Your Majesty will follow the path of Yao and Shun, with the mountains and rivers of Sheji, Zen and the King of Wei, the heart of heaven and the will of the people, then Your Majesty will enjoy the blessing of leisure, and the ancestors are very fortunate! Lucky for the living! The ministers agreed, and they came to play. ”

Liu Xie was shocked, speechless for a long time, looking at hundreds of officials and crying: "I want Gao Zu to carry a three-foot sword, cut the snake uprising, level Qin and destroy Chu, create a foundation, and pass it on from generation to generation, for four hundred years." Although I am not talented, I have no evil at the beginning, and I will forbear the great cause of my ancestors, and I will abandon it? Thou shalt be a hundred officials and then consider it from the public. ”

Hua Xin quoted Li Fu and Xu Zhi as prelude and said: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask these two people." ”

Li Fuzuo said: "Since the accession of King Wei, the unicorn has been born, the phoenix has come to the ceremony, the yellow dragon has appeared, the Jiahe has been born, and the manna has fallen. This is the image of the heavens, the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. ”

Xu Zhi played again: "The ministers are in charge of the sky, and when they watch the dry elephant at night, they see that the number of Yan and Han Qi has ended, and Your Majesty's Emperor Ken is hidden and unknown; The dry elephant of the Wei State is extremely heavenly, and it is difficult to put it into words. It is also a prophecy that should be said: ghosts are on the side, and the commission is connected; Contemporary Han, there is nothing to say. Words are in the east, noon is in the west; The light moved up and down for two days. ”

"In this way, Your Majesty can be early in the Zen position."

"The ghost is on the side, and the committee is connected, and it is the word Wei; Words are in the east, noon is in the west, and the word is also promised; The two days and the light moved up and down, and the word Naichang also: this is Wei in Xuchang should be subject to Han Chan also. ”

"May Your Majesty check it."

Liu Xie still held on, and his voice trembled: "Auspicious and auspicious diagrams are all false things; But why do you want to give up the inheritance of your ancestors with vain things? ”

Wang Lang said: "Since ancient times, there has been prosperity and ruin, prosperity and decline, how can there be an immortal country and an undefeated family? The Han family has been passed down for more than 400 years, extended to His Majesty, the number of qi has been exhausted, it is advisable to retreat as soon as possible, and not hesitate; Late will change. ”

Liu Xie looked around at Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Xin Bi, Jia Xu, Liu Hui, Liu Ye, Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Huan Jie, and other more than 40 ministers, and saw that they were all ashamed, so he smiled and retreated to the back of the hall, his steps were vain.

By the 18th, the Xuchang Palace had been replaced by the Wei army armor, and the Wei army armor in the color of the earthy yellow suit was different from the Han army uniform in Zhu Jiang.

One is red, and the other is yellow.

In Kunyang City, Xiahou Shang was personally stationed there, confronting Ye County across the water.

On the 18th, Xiahou Shang's department completed the replacement of summer clothes, the Han army battle flag was lowered, the Wei army's white background and yellow pattern battle flag were fluttered, and the soldiers of the whole army wore earthy yellow fine linen clothes, or earthy yellow silk clothes.

Ma Chao was washing his horse by the water, and when he saw Wei Whistle galloping on the opposite bank, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Cao's usurpation of the Han? ”

Soon Ma Dai, Guan Ping, and Zhang Bao rushed to hear the news, and saw the Wei army piling up bundles of grass on the opposite bank, piling bundles of Han army flags on the haystacks, and a fire ignited the flames and rose four or five feet.

Ma Chao couldn't cry or laugh a little, and whispered to Ma Dai beside him: "Cao Pi is on fire, maybe the army of the King of Han will go north to the Central Plains." ”

Guan Ping and Zhang Bao didn't have much sadness, and tried to restrain themselves from smiling.

Cao Pi finally did a good thing and cleared the last obstacle.

Liu Xie is a mountain, and he was finally brought down by Cao Pi.

Guan Ping was more joyful, and said to Zhang Bao: "The day of your and my contributions is not far away!" ”

Cao Pi usurped the Han at this juncture, didn't he want to be a target himself?

The Eastern Expedition can still be stopped at present, and after the autumn harvest, there will be the strength of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

Zhang Bao was more worried: "Dingguo, Cao Pi usurped the Han at this time, intending to divide our army. ”

Guan Ping also suddenly realized that this was no longer a matter of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, but a critical moment in the struggle for the throne.

Even if the generals of the Eastern Crusade sequence are about to go on the expedition, they can be patient with impulses at this moment and wait for Liu Bei to be proclaimed emperor before going on the expedition.

This is the hearts of the people, and Liu Bei cannot disobey it.

And being the emperor has never been a simple matter.

Two days later, this military information was sent to Jiangling, and Cao Pi killed in Xudu and Yecheng, destroying all the intelligence networks that Guan Yu had operated earlier.

Therefore, the express delivery sent by Ma Chao and Guan Ping is just speculation.

Liu Bei immediately fell into a dilemma, if he became emperor, it would take time to prepare. In the past, the kingdom of Hanzhong was in Chengdu, and now if you are called the emperor, Xiangyang and Jiangling are more suitable than Chengdu.

If you choose to be the emperor first, do Liu Chan, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang want to come to Jingzhou?

Who went to Yizhou to guard?

Yizhou is too big, and there are many affairs involved, which Zhang Fei cannot keep alone.

Zhang Fei can guard Chengdu, who will guard Bazhou? And Nanzhong?

Liu Bei was anxious, and came to Guan Yu's mansion to inquire about the matter.

To be the emperor or not, if you want to be an emperor, you want to be an emperor, there is nothing to hide.

When he came, Guan Yu was drinking tea in the martial arts arena, and the children of military officials of different sizes fiddled with bows and arrows to learn archery, the oldest was twelve or thirteen years old, and the older ones generally fought with the army, or did some errand work.

Liu Bei sat down, asked about the matter, and expressed his worries: "Now that the national thieves are in the north, our army's equipment and grain are all stored for the Eastern Expedition. Rushing to the north, the turnover cost is definitely not small, and Sun Quan will laugh at me again. ”

"The king, Sun Quan called the vassal in Wei, and took the lead in persuading Cao Pi to usurp and rebel, this is also a thief, and there is nothing wrong with the Eastern Expedition."

Guan Yu thought about it for a while and said: "If our army goes on a northern expedition, it will be a plan for the Chinese Wei people to exhaust the army. Today, the army is in full swing, and it is not appropriate to adjust it again. ”

This is the advantage of Sun Quan taking the lead in persuading the table, who will he fight if he doesn't beat him?

Without this petition, Cao Pi will continue to consider it.

Liu Bei weighed the front and back: "Am I concerned about the chaos, or Yun Chang understands it." I intend to wait for Kong Ming to return to Jingzhou, what does Yun Chang think? ”

"It's just this subsection, I don't think Kong Ming cares much. When the Northern Expedition was made and returned to the old capital, Kong Ming was indispensable to accompany him. ”

Guan Yu looked at it lightly, and said that the ceremony of the king of Hanzhong did not participate in it: "King, the army is about to be sent today, and everything is simple." ”

Liu Bei raised his head and smirked: "It's because I'm anxious, I didn't expect this little Cao thief to be so bold and suddenly do a big thing." ”

Guan Yu also showed a relaxed and relieved smile, struggling for most of his life, and finally waited for what he wanted.

If you want to get a big man in Sanxing, you have to hold the big man in your hand first.

Song Ru's set is not popular, there is no need to twist and pinch.

Liu Bei was happy and looked at the young man who was shooting arrows in an orderly manner on the martial arts field: "Yun Chang, this Yu Lin Lang is also." ”

He raised his hand and pointed at Guan Xing, who was waving the flag: "This feather forest will also be a general!" ”

Guan Yu arched his hand: "The king, the minister has selfish intentions and wants to make Anguo and Yasukuni govern the people, and not get involved in the affairs of the army." ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly: "Yun Chang, Yasukuni and Anguo are excellent, why do you bother?" ”

"When the minister is middle-aged, he has to fix the country, and he has to rejuvenate the country when he is not confused, and he wants to stay in the country to accompany the heavenly year.

Seeing Guan Yu say this, Liu Bei also sighed, sat down with shaking sleeves, and said with a little regret: "I wanted to send An Guo to accompany him, An Guo has the wind of courage and perseverance, and it is good to accompany the heir to increase his martial heart." ”

Guan Yu lowered his head even more, still reluctant to send Guan Xing to Yizhou.
