Chapter 665: The situation is not good

"Prime Minister! Prime minister! ”

In the past few days, Cao De has been a little distracted because of the news of Cao Cao's claim to be king. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, Cao De recently also liked to feed the fish by the fish pond in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It seems that the koi fish that can only wait to be fed can give Cao De some inspiration. And just when Cao De was stunned, Jia Xu ran over excitedly.

"Prime Minister!"

"Wenhe? What's wrong? "Cao De rarely sees Jia Xu in such a hurry, can it be said that there is something wrong in Luoyang. However, if there is an accident on the Luoyang side, why is there no movement on the Black Pearl side.

Cao Dezheng was wondering, Jia Xu took out a notebook, and said breathlessly: "Prime Minister! News has come from the Western Regions, and the Metropolitan Protectorate has been established! ”

It turned out to be the Imperial Protectorate of the Western Regions! Thinking about it, Ding Chong and others have been gone for more than half a year. Cao De just didn't expect Ding Chong's speed to be so fast.

"The prime minister is above, take a bow!" Cao De opened the watch, and there was a letter from Ding Chong in it.

The value of Ding Chong's letter is far less than that of the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, but what Cao De wants to see most is Ding Chong's letter. In fact, Ding Chong's letter is not interesting. The main thing is to express my gratitude to Cao De. But Cao De read it with relish.

After Cao De read it, he gave the letter to Jia Xu, "This Ding Chong, when did he become a sycophant!" Haha...... "Finally, Cao De's somewhat depressed mood was dissipated by Ding Chong's horses. Subsequently, Cao Decai picked up Ding Chong's recital.

The work of the Western Regions Protectorate was basically arranged according to the decision made by Cao De after consulting with King Dawan and Ding Chong when he was in Chang'an. Everything was planned and everything went very smoothly. And the only accident that occurred was that Kangju and the Otsuki clan were in contact with Ding Chong and were preparing to conclude a treaty of friendship and alliance. If this alliance treaty can really be completed, it can also be said that Kangju and the Otsuki clan have been included in the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate. This is the first time in history. It's no wonder Jia Xu is so excited.

Just the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate has already expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty, and now with the addition of Kangju and the Dayue clan. The merits of the Han Dynasty are the greatest in the 400-year foundation of the Han Dynasty.

However, in this recital, it was not Kangju nor the Da Yue clan that interested Cao De the most, but Ding Chong's mission. When Ding Chong first began to establish the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the first Han missions and caravans had already set off for the westernmost Roman Empire on the mainland.

This is the ultimate goal of Cao De's rebuilding of the Western Regions Protectorate. Now that the mission and the caravan have been sent, this means that Cao De only needs to wait for news.

"Good! It's just wonderful. Ding Chong really didn't disappoint me. Wen He, copy another copy of this recital and send it to Luoyang. I want to let the people of the world know that the Western Regions are the protectors, and Ding Chong has made great contributions! ”

"No!" Jia Xu agreed, took Ding Chong's recital and walked out again. And Cao De's mood at the moment is also much better. Suddenly, Cao De seemed to have some enlightenment.

Due to his own agitation, the current big man is no longer the original big man. Many things have changed, and since such things have happened to him, what does Cao Cao have to be king more than ten years in advance. However, for the upcoming big war, I'd better remain neutral for the time being. Brother can't be too low-key!

The fact that Cao Cao was the king had already caused an uproar in the Han Dynasty. Wave. And when Cao De released the news that the Western Regions Protectorate had been rebuilt, it did not dilute the enthusiasm of the people for this matter. Princes from all walks of life, except for Cao De and Sun Ce, denounced Cao Cao. And Cao Cao, as the party concerned, did not directly pay attention to these gossips. On the contrary, Liu Xie stood up. Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon. After all, what Liu Xie says and does, can he call the shots?

Liu Xie said to the people of the world, what? Cao Cao, the King of Wei, was personally sealed by me, do you have any opinions? Come, whoever has an opinion, stand up and I'll see. If you are brave enough, you have the ability to come to my Luoyang and come to me in front of me.

As soon as Liu Xie spoke, Liu Bei, who was the most vocal, couldn't help it. Ah, poor Son of Heaven! Ah, hateful thief! You can't be so shameless! You can't be so unconscionable as an official! And Liu Bei's die-hard fan and loyal supporter of Dahan - Liu Biao! After knowing these news, his reaction was more direct than Liu Bei's.

Originally, when Cao Cao was rolling up the spitting star horse Liu Bei, Liu Biao wanted to stand up and support Liu Bei, but he was scared back to the nest by Cao Cao's words. And this time, Cao Cao's intimidation was not good. Liu Biao directly stood on Liu Bei's front. The two surnamed Liu finally wore a pair of pants in a bright light.

As for Sun Ce, who is in the easternmost part, he is even more conscienceless than Cao De, and he is holding his arms to watch the play. You like to make a fuss, as long as you don't go to my Jiangdong, you don't have a dime to do with me. While Sun Ce was holding his arms and watching the play, he naturally did not forget the development of Jiangdong.

Now there is only more than half a year left before the time of the big battle that has been discussed, so take advantage of this time to quickly accumulate some more strength. After the start of the war, won't there be any opportunity for the chaotic Central Plains region to take advantage of?

Holding the loophole during the big war, it is naturally not only Sun Ce. In this battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, although Cao Cao gained a strong cohesion because he rewarded a large number of subordinates after becoming king, on the surface, Qingxu Erzhou still had a higher desire to fight. Every day, people from Qingxu and Xuzhou are flocking to Xuzhou City. They are Liu Bei's diehards. They are willing to sweat and bleed for Liu Bei's dream.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Bei's army seemed to swell to 300,000 overnight. In terms of the number of troops alone, Liu Bei is almost the same as Cao Cao. And if you calculate carefully, among Liu Bei's 300,000 troops, it seems that 100,000 people have just been recruited. And the remaining time of the war is only a little more than half a year. In such a short period of time, with such a huge army, it is a question whether Liu Bei can support it, and whether he can train it into an elite is a big question. But fortunately, Liu Bei used his reputation of loyalty to the Han family to recruit a lot of talents.

Although there is no one who can compare to Guan Yu, there are some second-rate generals, and Liu Bei's command has grabbed a lot of them.

Spring goes to summer, time seems to pass in a flash, and it is these three months, Liu Bei also sighed to the Han family for three months, and cried to his Liu ancestors for three months. I have to sigh, Liu Bei is really powerful, really persevering. I cried and cried for a month!

It's a pity that Liu Bei's tears in the past few months don't seem to have any impact on Cao Cao except for recruiting some talents. Because, after the passage of the month, Cao Cao did what he had to do with his King of Wei.

As the weather gets hotter, the day when the crops are ripening is getting closer and closer, which means that the time for the big war is getting closer and closer. And because of Cao De's grain and grass distribution activities before, many people also have enough grain seeds and have planted enough food. If there are no accidents this year, then Cao Cao or Liu Bei, their grain and grass are enough to support a great war.

However, as time went by, Cao De found that the situation seemed to be a little bad. This year, the rainy season seems to have come earlier, and there are still a lot of them. Could it be that God wants to make up for last year's rain this year?
