Xun You proposed to give Zhang Yu the title of king in recognition of his great merits.

Since the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin's group of kings with different surnames were killed, there have been no kings with different surnames.

"If you are not the king of the Liu family, if you do not do what you want, the world will punish you."

It means that only the surname Liu can be crowned king, and the non-surname Liu can only be crowned a marquis at most, and it needs to be approved by the emperor surnamed Liu.

Therefore, Xun Yu proposed to give Zhang Yu the king, more because he wanted to pit him.

"Feng Wang, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, several kings with different surnames were destroyed, and after that, there were not many people with the surname Liu who were crowned kings." Cao Cao groaned, it is not a trivial matter to be crowned king.

Cao Cao was very hesitant, it was not a trivial matter to be crowned king, and according to Zhang Yu's character, it seemed that he was not afraid of the whole world coming to crusade against him.

"Before, several princes attacked Zhang Yu, but he resisted it, even if there are princes who want to fight him in the future, it can't be like the eighteenth princes begging Dong, I'm afraid Zhang Yu can easily carry it down." Cao Cao said.

Xun You nodded and said: "Today's princes, if they don't have interests, they won't jointly attack Zhang Yu, but if you can disrupt Zhang Yu's rhythm and let him swell like Yuan Shu, otherwise the whole world, it won't be long before no one is Zhang Yu's opponent." ”

Xun You said again: "This time, several major princes jointly attacked Zhang Yu, and the result was carried down by him, Zhang Yu's potential was verified, his prestige soared, and the spies came to report, Zhang Yu asked the people to borrow money, at least hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

"With such cohesion, external forces are difficult to break through, and they can only cause problems internally."

Xun You's analysis made Cao Cao's heart clear.

Although Zhang Yu suffered heavy losses this time, his image suddenly changed greatly.

Just imagine, what a force one can withstand the blows of Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and more than 400,000 Huns.

The people of Youzhou and Jiangdong are unprecedentedly united.

Zhang Yu's prestige has reached a new height.

In this way, Xun You feels terrible when he thinks about it.

Once Zhang Yu is allowed to continue to develop, then there may really be no one to be his opponent.

Moreover, Zhang Yu's two turf positions are very good and will not be attacked from all sides.

"Okay, let's make him king." Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said.

However, the matter of sealing the king is definitely a groundbreaking event.

Cao Cao summoned several more staff members to discuss.

"My lord, when I was a high ancestor, I couldn't be crowned a king of the opposite sex, if I let Your Majesty seal Zhang Yu be the king, I'm afraid it will not be good for Your Majesty." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded, this is also a problem.

"However, my lord, we can ask Your Majesty to give Zhang Yu the surname Liu, and then crown him king." Cheng Yu said.

The surname has been given since ancient times, so Liu Xie is not considered to have violated the rules set by Gaozu Liu Bang.

"Okay, go and draft the holy decree immediately, and seal Zhang Yu as the king of Bohai." Cao Cao said.

Bohai, that is Yuan Shao's place, Yuan Shao started in Bohai.

And Cao Cao deliberately sealed the Bohai Sea to Zhang Yu.

This is to ask Zhang Yu to fight with Cao Cao.

The holy decree was soon promulgated, and Zhang Yu was given the surname Liu because of his great merit, and he was named the king of Bohai.

There is a gallop road from Luoyang to Jiangdong, and Zhang Yu received the news within a few days.

"Hmph, surnamed Liu, who is rare." Zhang Yu pouted when he received the news.

He didn't expect Cao Cao to come up with such an idea.

Zhang Yu went to the front line and went directly to Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, Cao Cao is also playing tricks with us, how to deal with it?" Zhang Yu said.

"My lord, this king, the sincerity is enough, the Han Dynasty has been a king for hundreds of years, and those who can be crowned kings of the opposite sex are the same as the people of Gaozu, and this Cao Cao is not well-intentioned." Guo Jia said.

"So how do we do that?" Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia.

"I don't accept it, I don't oppose it, I use it whatever is convenient." Guo Jia replied.

It is impossible to get Zhang Yu to change his surname.

"Okay, then don't want the name of the throne, but the real power of the throne." Zhang Yu said.

When the holy decree came, Zhang Yu didn't pick it up, and sent an ordinary soldier to get the holy decree.

After receiving the holy decree, Zhang Yu gave a few orders.

He led Youzhou Mu and Yangzhou Mu to re-establish mansions in Youzhou and Jiangdong.

According to the configuration of the throne, assign yourself the corresponding subordinate officials.

Give yourself the rules of the throne.

The news was fed back to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also had a headache.

"This Zhang Yu is a scoundrel." Cao Cao scolded.

Cheng Yu said: "Zhang Yu is so calm at a young age, he will definitely be our great enemy in the future, even more terrifying than Yuan Shao." ”

Xun You also said: "Lord, I'm afraid this plan is not of much use to Zhang Yu, because his subordinates are not effective." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this Zhang Yu is already difficult to deal with." ”

Cao Cao was also helpless, and the title of king was to make Zhang Yu swell and affect his behavior.

But at present, it seems that Zhang Yu is still very calm.

Sealing the king will definitely cause a lot of trouble, at least the people of the world can use this reason to crusade against Zhang Yu.

Yuan Shao and their attack on Zhang Yu before, it was very unjustifiable, but now they at least have a justifiable reason.

Whether it has an effect or not depends on the long-term.

Cao Cao was more free and easy, and left the matter behind.

"Everyone, you can't delay in sending troops to fight against Yuan Shu, send troops in ten days, and you will be ready as soon as possible."

After Cao Cao gave the order, his men went to work.

......

On the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu and them had 300,000 soldiers, and Yuan Shu also deployed 300,000 troops on the Yangtze River.

"Lord, Yuan Shu has arranged heavy troops, and it is not easy for us to cross the river, so it is better to use external forces." Guo Jia proposed.

"Tell me about it." Zhang Yu replied.

Guo Jia and Zhang Yu sat on a boat on the edge of the Yangtze River, drinking tea and watching the river scenery.

Guo Jia took a sip of tea, and then said: "Lord, in the past, others formed an alliance to attack us, but this time we formed an alliance to attack Yuan Shu, although there are few people in the alliance, but you are also the leader of the alliance, and you have the ability to command the princes of the world, this is influence." ”

"Invite Lu Bu and Sun Ce to hunt Yuan Shu together." Guo Jia said his idea.

Zhang Yu looked at the reckless Yangtze River water, and his heart fluctuated a little.

Command other princes, hundreds of thousands of allied troops.

Sun Ce had long wanted to attack Yuan Shu, but his strength had not yet recovered, and Lu Bu had already had this intention.

"It's best to bring Cai Mao in, it's not small." Zhang Yu said.

Forming an alliance to attack Yuan Shu, his momentum can be even greater.

In this way, he completely stole the limelight from Cao Cao.

This crusade against Yuan Shu is the responsibility of Emperor Liu Xie, that is, Cao Cao has to do it, and now Zhang Yu has made a huge noise, forcing Cao Cao to send troops without preparation.

Under Zhang Yu's call, Lu Bu happily sent troops, and Sun Ce also made a big noise.

In addition, Cai Mao wrote to Liu Biao, saying that he would crusade against Buchen.

Liu Biao didn't dare to disagree, as a relative of the Liu family, it was also his responsibility to crusade against Yuan Shu.

Cai Mao took the opportunity to ask for soldiers and money to control more of the army.
