Yang Xiu's defeat, although it had already been expected by Sima Yi, but at this time, after losing hundreds of thousands of troops, it was still possible to exempt Yang Xiu from punishment but Sima Yi could not think of it, at this time, standing in a position among the ministers that Cao Zhi would not notice at all, Sima Yi knew that although Yang Xiu had almost made a mortal mistake, he was still the most trusted person in Cao Zhi's heart, if Yang Xiu was replaced by himself at this time, then the consequences were something that Sima Yi did not dare to imagine.

But he also knew that this time Yang Xiu led the army to achieve such an unbearable result, he would definitely have a chance to make a comeback, the only thing Sima Yi was thinking about at this time was how to use this opportunity to control the military power of the Wei State that would come soon to develop the Sima family to another level, in his heart, the only thing that could really fit was the Sima family behind him.

When Yang Xiu returned to the court of Wei, his status and identity did not change compared with when he led the army to the expedition before, although many of the courtiers of Wei were very dissatisfied, but most of them dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, more than 20 days passed in a hurry, Cao Zhi did not rush to ask Sima Yi to go out of the mountain as many people speculated, but temporarily put aside the attack on Liu Feng, and continued to vigorously develop the internal affairs of Wei. Until a piece of news came that shocked Cao Zhi.

Just when Yang Xiu's battle against Nanyang ended nearly a month ago, a sudden news shook the government and the opposition of Wei State, and its impact was close to Cao Cao's death.

Cao Zhi received the news that Liu Feng was recently proclaimed emperor in Xiangyang City! The form of the emperor was actually through the Zen concession of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Liu Feng was witnessed and cheered by thousands of people in Xiangyang City, and in accordance with the etiquette of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he took over the seal ribbon in the hands of Liu Xie, and officially became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Feng is only a righteous son to Liu Bei and has no blood relationship with Liu Xie, because Liu Feng has been operating in Jingzhou and Yizhou for many years, and Liu Xie himself is genuinely in Liu Feng's hands, the people do not have any rejection of Liu Feng taking over the scepter of the world in Liu Xie's hands.

On the contrary, most of the people thought that Liu Feng was indeed the one who could calm the war that had lasted for many years in the Central Plains, especially when Liu Feng had just led the army in Wancheng to defeat the 300,000 troops under Cao Zhi.

This incident made Cao Zhi's little achievements in the cold treatment of the defeat suddenly disappeared, and overnight, it seemed that Liu Feng directly became the real master of the world, and Cao Zhi, who was much stronger than Liu Feng, was rarely mentioned, as if the battle of Wancheng directly knocked Wei to the bottom.

In fact, this matter of accepting Liu Xiex's claim to be the emperor has been formed in his heart when Liu Feng decided to go to Luoyang to pick up Liu Xie, although he did not directly talk about it to several advisers around him, but Liu Feng insisted on going to Luoyang in person, and had already made Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Xu Shu and others tacitly understand Liu Feng's future plan, but Liu Feng had not really brought Liu Xie back that day, so no one was willing to pick this matter out first.

But when Liu Feng really brought Liu Xie back to Yizhou, this matter undoubtedly changed from a possibility to something that could be done at any time, so Zhou Yu and others couldn't wait to mention this matter to Liu Feng, and Liu Feng at this time naturally revealed his original intention of wanting to accept Liu Xie's concession.

Seeing that Liu Feng has such ambitions, everyone is very excited, once Liu Feng becomes the emperor of the world, then not only can they justifiably crusade against Wei and Zhuge Liang, but now they are such miscellaneous courtiers, they will also have new titles, such as Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, it is conceivable that they will definitely be ranked as the third prince in the court after Liu Feng became the emperor, this is their dream of achievement, they risked their lives to assist Liu Feng, and what they did was such a day.

At the beginning, what was lacking was just an opportunity, an opportunity to make Liu Feng's name more resounding in the Central Plains, and then there was a battle in which Yang Xiu led an army of 300,000 to take Nanyang, which naturally gave Liu Feng such an opportunity.

After the war, accepting Liu Xie's Zen concession became a matter of necessity, and Liu Feng brought those officials back to Xiangyang, and it was this thing that was done, after the war began, Liu Xie was secretly taken to Xiangyang City, waiting to completely hand over the orthodox throne that the world thought was still on him under the witness of the sky and the people, and then he could get the freedom he really wanted.

After everyone's discussion, there was some controversy about the name of Liu Feng's new dynasty, but Liu Feng only said: "Since we are Han people, why can't we inherit the name of the Han Dynasty?" When these words came out, everyone no longer suggested another name.

The reason why Liu Feng said this is precisely because he has special feelings for the Han Dynasty as a Han person, and secondly, he is not dominant compared to Cao Zhi's power under the current situation.

Although the Han Dynasty was not changed to other names, but the era name, Liu Feng must be re-established, he knows that if he really realized his long-cherished wish after a few years, Cao Zhi and Zhuge Liang were all wiped out, then his era name will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books, such a wonderful feeling, let Liu Feng name his first year name: Open Heaven.

In September 220 AD, the first year of Kaitian, Liu Feng finally took a solid step in the history of the late Han Dynasty, and this step also showed himself and his ministers his firm will, and the confidence to exterminate the forces of Cao Zhi and Zhuge Liang.

After ascending the throne, Liu Feng granted amnesty to the world in Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and Nanzhong, and further won the hearts of the people for himself, and a cadre of civil and military generals under his command all had official positions and rewards this time, which undoubtedly made them have a lot of confidence when they stood above the Xiangyang court.

Jingzhou and Yizhou were in such a scene, but Wei Guo, who learned about this, was just the opposite, Cao Zhi's face was full of sadness, he knew that the reason why Liu Feng dared to do this was because on the one hand he got Liu Xie into his own hands, and on the other hand, it was because of his contempt for himself......
