The current Jiangdong is very chaotic, but Guo Peng has no spare strength to pinch it off, otherwise it should be easier to lay the Jiangdong strategy at this time.

For this, Guo Peng felt very regretful.

Jingzhou is not considered, Jiangdong does not have a unified ruler, but Jingzhou does, and it will only be more difficult to deal with than Jiangdong.

Jiangdong is now a local force competing with Sun Ce, and the real Yangzhou pastor Liu Xuan appointed by the imperial court has been driven by Sun Ce to Yuzhang County to survive.

Quite no board.

The little overlord is still full of combat effectiveness, but I don't know if he will be assassinated and killed.

Anyway, the Sun regime was created in the hands of Xiaobawang, and it was stable after localization in the hands of Sun Quan, and it seemed difficult to attack, but in Guo Peng's eyes, it was a sieve full of holes.

A hybrid of the military-political system that inherited Yuan Shu's four dissimilarities.

Xiaobawang has the ability to attack the world, but he has no ability to govern, if he is not localized in time, he will die a few years later, and the Sun regime is estimated to collapse on its own.

Xiaobawang is not Guo Peng's opponent, neither are Liu Biao and Liu Xuan, neither are Tao Qian, and even less Liu Zhang.

Now, Guo Peng needs to turn his attention to the west, Hongnong.

It is also a coincidence, Guo Peng felt that Yuan Shu's head should not have been sent to Hongnong, and the time was wrong, but Hongnong's side came to Yan Rou's handwritten letter.

In the letter, Yan Rou briefly told Guo Peng about the results of his work in Hongnong City.

In short, Jia Xu realized that the general trend of the world was irreversible, so he decided to take refuge in Guo Peng, do things for him, and use the power in his hands to squeeze out the last trace of the Han family's use value.

Of course, the Zen position is impossible, Yan Rou conveyed Guo Peng's thoughts to Jia Xu to know.

It is to go one step further and seal the public.

Although the little emperor once announced in excitement that he would crown the king or something for the person who exterminated the traitor Yuan Shu, this was indeed not a feasible decision.

After Liu Bang quelled the rebellion of the princes surnamed Yi who founded the country and divided the feudal kingdom, he led his ministers to kill the white horse by the Weishui and swore that he would not be crowned king unless he was surnamed Liu, which was the case in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

So if it's not the royal family surnamed Liu, don't think about being crowned king, if you trespass, the world will attack it.

So much so that in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, after all the early kings with different surnames were taken down, only one Cao Cao became the king with a different surname, and Cao Pi also followed the king of Wei for less than a year.

And the only person under Cao Cao who did this was Wang Mang, but Wang Mang was not crowned king, but duke, and then became emperor.

In fact, the title of duke is also an extremely rare measure in the Han Dynasty, if you really want to count it, that is, Wang Mang and Cao Cao have gotten it, and the reason is not that it is difficult to seal, but that there is no duke in the title system of the Han Dynasty.

There were dukes in the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, but after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State canceled the sub-feudal system of the Zhou royal family, and changed it to a 20-level feudal system based on military merits, and the highest level was the Marquis of Che, and later changed to the Liehou in order to avoid Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The three levels of Tinghou, Xianghou and County Marquis are the titles of the Liehou at this level, which is the highest title of the Han Dynasty, and the prince is exclusive to the Liu family.

There was no duke in the title system of the Han Dynasty, and the duke was still re-found from the pre-Qin system and sealed by Wang Mang in order to facilitate the usurpation of the throne and show his unusualness.

Wang Mang did this with extremely clear political ambitions, but Guo Peng did not do so, but the little emperor himself said that in order to reward Guo Peng for the imperial court to crusade against Yuan Shu, so the imperial court wanted to reward Guo Peng, fulfill the emperor's promise, and add officials to the knighthood.

When Jia Xu and Yan Rou discussed this matter, the news they knew was that Guo Peng had surrounded Shouchun City and was about to break into the city, and the destruction of Pseudo-Chen was imminent.

At this time, in fact, the situation was already clear, there was nothing to say, Jia Xu knew that Guo Peng had no one to stop him, so he made his own decision and expressed to Yan Rou his willingness to take refuge in Guo Peng, and only hoped that Guo Peng would keep his promise.

Yan Rou was overjoyed.

Then the two discussed whether to give Guo Peng the title of king, and Yan Rou immediately shook his head.

He said that it was too reluctant to be crowned the king, and it was not yet that time, although the little emperor said such a thing, but if he really wanted to do this, it was estimated that there would be many opponents in the court.

Jia Xu said that the opponents of the DPRK and China had been controlled by Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji with military force, and as long as Guo Peng was willing, Jia Xu could guarantee the smooth passage of the resolution.

Yan Rou still refused.

"In the past, Gaozu swore an oath to kill the white horse, and if the surname was not Liu, he would not be crowned king, although the emperor had a word first, but in this way, there are many people who are afraid of criticism in the world."

Jia Xu frowned and said: "Having said that, but the duke, since Gaozu took the oath, there is only Wang Mang alone, although Wang Mang ascended the throne in the name of the fake emperor, but it is true that he is the only one who has been crowned the duke, in this way, will it have any impact on the general?" ”

"Wang Mang has no military merits, and the general is for the country to exterminate rebellion, real military merits, no one can question it, at most two words, but such a great military merit, not rewarded, how to say the past? This is a justifiable reward, the most important military merit of the Han Dynasty, which is completely different. ”

Yan Rou opened his mouth and said: "If you talk about arrogance, with the current status of the general, no matter how you are promoted, some people will say that you are arrogance, such a great merit, you really have to be rewarded, and it is true that the king is not a problem, isn't that so?" ”

Jia Xu felt that what Yan Rou said made sense.

"So, how should the title be drafted? Any ideas from the general's side? ”

Jia Xu raised such a question, and Yan Rou felt that this question was very important and debatable, so she wrote a letter to Guo Peng and asked Guo Peng's opinion.

And Jia Xu also ventilated to Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan at the same time, discussing the matter with them with a strange mind, and asking their opinions.

Soon, Guo Peng, who got Yan Rou's letter, began to think about the title that Yan Rou asked.

It's not a trivial matter to ban a title or something, this matter is related to the name of the country you established later, and it's not okay to choose carefully.

Generally speaking, it is either the place of birth, the place of origin, or the location of the knighthood, which was basically the case before the Song Dynasty, and as far as Guo Peng is concerned, in fact, his choice is not the only one.

Because he didn't say anything about the founding of the country before, the political center and military center moved with the need, first in the Qi country, later to the Jibei country, and then to Puyang County, Dongjun.

After the crusade against Yuan Shu, Guo Peng's next military strategic focus was on the north, and there was no force in the south that was strong enough to threaten him.

Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Xuan, the forces of the three Han clan relatives are very weak, and they are vulnerable to Guo Peng, so Guo Peng did not take them seriously.

Although the little overlord is brave, but reckless, Jiangdong has not yet been pacified, where is the power to go north to threaten him?

Not to mention Hongnong's side, self-preservation is still a problem, can you still go on the expedition?

Therefore, these major forces have no power to threaten Guo Peng at all, Guo Peng is already invincible, even if they join forces, they can't do it.

Because the number of hukou under their rule together was not as high as the number of hukou under Guo Peng's rule, Guo Peng's war mobilization power exceeded the sum of all their staff.

Not at all.
