The news that Lu Bu is about to be crowned king in January has been confined to Luoyang with the passage of time, and has spread to the world at a terrifying speed, for the people under Lu Bu's rule, this is naturally a thing worth celebrating, and even some people have begun to rush to Luoyang, ready to participate in this prosperous era, but for the princes of the Central Plains, it is not a good thing at all.

Xuchang, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, once Lu Bu becomes king, the prestige of the Son of Heaven will be prestigious, and the majesty of the Han family will no longer exist!" Kong Rong knelt on the ground and said astringently: "Please give your majesty an order to send troops to crusade against Lu Bu and restore the majesty of the Han Dynasty." ”

The king with a different surname is a blatant violation of the system set by Liu Bang at the beginning, once it is really sealed, the only remaining majesty of the Han family will also disappear, and looking at this posture, Lu Bu's behavior is almost equivalent to announcing the world, and no one can stop it.

On the dragon chair, Liu Xie felt bitter in his heart, even if Lu Bu was not crowned king, how much more majestic would the Han family have, but he looked at Cao Cao who was standing next to Mo Li with an embarrassed expression on his face: "How is Sikong willing?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Kong Rong who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Liu Xie, and sighed silently in his heart, although Lu Bu sealed the king with or without that king seal, at this time, it was impossible to stop it, but at least it would not be so justifiable, at least he still had reason to deny the authenticity of the king seal, but this king seal was regarded as Lu Bu's trophy, and it was indeed issued by the imperial court. Originally, it was intended to inspire the fighting spirit of the princes, who would have thought that the battle would be fought like that in the end?

Now it seems that the original action is equivalent to giving Lu Bu a free advertisement, and now Lu Bu will take the Wang Yin out, the authenticity of the Wang Yin is needless to say, and at this time, Cao Cao sent troops, first, the division was unknown, and secondly, just after a big battle, the Central Plains has a large population, and it can't withstand that kind of consumption, in a short time, even if Cao Cao has the heart to fight with Lu Bu again, it is already unbearable.

"Your Majesty!" Sighing, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie with some disappointment, shook his head and said: "Wang Yin is sent by His Majesty, what is the original intention, no matter first, but it is indeed from the hands of His Majesty, there is no doubt that the one who enters Luoyang is the king, and now Lu Bu has repelled the princes, and he is in Luoyang, which is naturally in line with His Majesty's original promise, if he sends troops at this time, not only will the division be nameless, but His Majesty's face, the reputation of the Han family will be gone, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

"This ......" Liu Xie couldn't help but suffocate when he heard this, that is to say, he could only eat this loss, not only did he not get any benefits, but in the end, he also ended up with a no, looking at Cao Cao's idiot-like gaze, Liu Xie only felt uncomfortable.

When Kong Rong on the side heard this, he could only sigh, he had nothing to say, let Liu Xie take back his life, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face, the already weak majesty of the Han family would be defeated by himself in the end.

The court meeting broke up unhappily in such an embarrassing atmosphere, and Cao Cao took Xun You, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan and others back to Sikong Mansion.

"Lord, Lu Bu is the king, I'm afraid the next step is to crusade against the Central Plains." After entering the Sikong Mansion, Xun Yu frowned and looked at Cao Cao.

Some words, just now in the court is inconvenient to say to Liu Xie, Lu Bu is the king, now the news is coming, Lu Bu sent Pang Tong and Wei Yan have taken Shuzhong, and now Lu Bu has occupied half of the country, and with Chengdu being included in the command, the population is no longer Lu Bu's shortcoming, coupled with the development of Guanzhong over the years, today's Lu Bu has the strength to sweep the world.

Cao Cao nodded silently, this truth, he doesn't know, but what's the use of knowing, at the moment Liu Bei and Sun Quan are inseparable, although Cao Cao has the intention to stop it, but until now, the two sides have already fought a real fire, and Sun Quan has been pulling back behind them, once Lu Bu is in trouble, I am afraid that Jing Xiang and Zhongyuan will not have much resistance under Lu Bu's iron hooves.

"What's the news from Koto?" Rubbing his eyebrows, Cao Cao asked.

"Guan Yu has already led his troops to break through Jiujiang, and Lu Su, the new governor of Jiangdong, is shrinking his defenses, and it seems that he is preparing for a decisive battle with Liu Bei." Xun You said in a deep voice.

"Yun Chang's soldiers are sharp, but Jiangdong's talents should not be underestimated, and now that Lu Su has shrunk his troops, I am afraid that he is going to counterattack." Cao Cao leaned back on the seat, pinched his eyebrows, and thought for a while: "Order Mao Jue to wait for the opportunity to attack Jianye, Liu Bei, you can't lose!" ”

If there is no Lu Bu, Cao Cao will naturally sit and watch Liu Bei and Sun Quan fight, but the current situation is different, Lu Bu has newly obtained the land of Shuzhong, and he can no longer tolerate the internal fighting of the princes, and now Liu Bei has gained an advantage, Sun Quan is defeated, even if Liu Bei can't digest Jiangdong for a while, it is enough to help him contain the West Road, so that Cao Cao can fight Lu Bu head-on.

But if Liu Bei is defeated, not to mention defeated, even if Liu Bei is completely defeated, and Sun Quan is willing to join forces with Cao Cao to fight against Lu Bu, a group of naval generals will run to the land to fight against Lu Bu's elite in Guanzhong, is it possible?

Just like Lu Meng, he is also a Jiangdong general, and the Chaisang Sailor is also the elite of the naval army that Zhou Yu has trained for many years, but he was beaten by Guan Yu at the foot of Funiu Mountain, and he cried and called his mother, you must know that when he fought with Lu Bu's Guanzhong elite, this result has to be looked at the other way around, what kind of result will be the collision between the Jiangdong Naval Army and Lu Bu's troops on land, Cao Cao almost can't imagine, so Liu Bei must not lose, which is also an important reason why Cao Cao is willing to help Liu Bei, at this moment, he urgently needs a teammate who is not pitted, Able to help himself block the pressure of Lu Bu from the west, while Sun Quan is obviously not a good teammate.

"Whoa!" Xun You slightly bowed his hand and agreed, this kind of order is usually conveyed by him.

"Lord, if Jiangdong is forced to be urgent, I'm afraid it will ......" Xun Yu frowned, and said with some worry, Lu Meng died in battle, Jiangdong was already injured, and now shrinking the defense line and luring the enemy deeper, there is no way to do it, the land of Jiangdong is sparsely populated, the troops are insufficient, after the defeat of Jingzhou, there is not much family foundation, if Jiangdong is out at this moment, directly surrender to Lu Bu, and lead Lu Bu to attack in advance, then this result is likely to cause Cao Cao to suffer from the enemy.

"So this battle, we must fight quickly, Wen Ruo, you send someone to inform Liu Bei, our army can help him with all its might, after defeating Jiangdong, Jiangdong will belong to him, but the grain and grass hoarded in Jiangdong, I want seventy percent!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, in a big battle with Lu Bu at the beginning of the year, Cao Cao suffered serious losses, and there was a shortage of grain and grass.

"Whoa!" Seeing that Cao Cao has made up his mind, Xun Yu will not say much, the current situation is not optimistic for the court and even the princes of the world, such as Lu Bu, there are three major princes, it is indeed a bit much, more importantly, Sun Quan not only can't help, but also often likes to drag people back, in this case, a quick solution, solve Jiangdong, and then integrate Jiangdong Jingxiang, although Liu Bei can be strengthened, but now is really not the time to care about these.

Xun Yu still appreciates Cao Cao's generous abandonment of Jiangdong's ownership, so that the relationship between the two families can be promoted, at least before Lu Bu is eliminated, the two families can maintain a relatively close relationship, reach an offensive and defensive alliance, and resist Lu Bu together.

If the two families have another dispute because of the ownership of Jiangdong, it will basically be over, and now in the face of Lu Bu's huge pressure, only sincere cooperation can make it possible to withstand Lu Bu's attack in the battle in the coming year.

It's just that how long it can be carried, no one knows.

Jingzhou, Jiangxia.

When the news of Lu Bu's sealing of the king came, Liu Bei stood by the river with some dismay, looking at the rolling Yangtze River, but there was a bitterness in his heart.

At the beginning, Liu Bei took out the Wang Yin, but did not break through Luoyang, his own idea of being the king, but unfortunately, it backfired, the strength of the Guanzhong army was so strong, until that battle, he had a real experience, and finally the alliance ended without a problem, Zhou Yu broke the contract to attack Huyang, and Cao Cao was unable to continue to compete with Lu Bu, and returned to Xuchang.

In fact, that battle was equivalent to their defeat, and immediately after that, it was reported that Lu Bu had already planned Shuzhong, which made Liu Bei feel anxious, in the strategy set by Zhuge Liang for him, Shuzhong was a very important and even critical link.

It's just that now it seems that if you want to break through Shuzhong, it is difficult!

And the death of Chen Zhi and Guan Ping, for Liu Bei, is also a big blow, these are two fierce generals, Chen Zhi needless to say, Guan Ping has followed Guan Yu for many years, Guan Yu has been a martial artist, and he has learned seven or eight percent, what he owes now is just the fire, given time, even if it is not as good as Guan Yu, it is enough to be alone, and he is quite loved by Liu Bei, but now, he was killed by Tai Shici so silently, so how willing Liu Bei is.

Now Guan Yu has broken through Chaisang and even beheaded the Jiangdong generals, which can be regarded as helping Liu Bei breathe a sigh of relief, but in the current situation, although Guan Yu is like a bamboo, Liu Bei faintly feels that something is wrong, and if he goes deeper like this, Guan Yu will become a lone army.

"Lord, the military advisor has sent a letter!" Just when Liu Bei was thinking about whether to let Guan Yu stop the attack and first digest the territory that had been defeated now, a personal guard stepped forward and handed a letter to Liu Bei.

"Oh?" A flash of joy flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, the news in Shuzhong has not yet come, could it be good news?

Hurriedly unfolded the letterhead to read, just looked at it, Liu Bei's face was gloomy, Zhuge Liang did not complain in the letter that Liu Bei rashly started a war with Jiangdong, but the war on Shu could not go on, Pang Tong in Shu has now occupied the land, people and all the people, and it cannot be broken in a short time, and Jingzhou does not have enough grain and grass for Zhuge Liang to fight for a long time, therefore, Zhuge Liang asked Yan Yan to retreat to Yiling, and brought his own army down the river, which will arrive soon, as for the matter of Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei about it, please Cao Cao to attack together, And it must be a quick decision, before the beginning of spring, to break through Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang will directly lead the army of Shu to join Guan Yu.

Looking at the content of the letterhead, although he had expected it, Liu Bei still felt a bitter meaning echoing in his mouth, Shuzhong, did he still not take it down in the end? (To be continued.) )
