Chapter 362: Loyalty? Traitor?
One stone stirs up a thousand waves! Those two white tigers are stones, and the place where the stones are thrown is naturally the big man!
Cao De's wave of arrival in the White Tiger has just passed and has not subsided, and the news that Cao De is going to be the king and the king of Hanzhong has come again!
King? Back then, Gaozu had already made a white horse alliance with all the civil and military forces, and it was not King Liu Bu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Now, although the big man is crumbling in the wind and rain, the big man is still a big man after all. No matter who it is, whether it is Aili or not, when he sees Liu Xie, he has to clench his fists and say "Your Majesty". Although the current Han Court is a puppet regime, it is still the nominal central power.
Now marching to fight and crusade against the enemy, the most important thing is that the division is famous. And it is undoubtedly the most advantageous to use the name of Hanting to conquer the east and west.
Therefore, as long as Cao De dares to be the king now, he will definitely become the target of public criticism. If you don't believe it, now it's just a thief from Liu Bei, and there is no evidence that Cao De wants to rebel against the usurper Han, and it has been supported by many people. Cao De wants to be the king at this juncture, isn't that a disguised recognition of Liu Bei's thief writings.
Cao De said that he was not king. Cao De understands, Jia Xu understands, Gu Yong understands, the princes of the world understand, but anyone with some insight understands that even if Cao De is the king, he will not be the king at this juncture!
However, after many inquiries about this news, and after confirming it from various channels, the hundred officials of Chang'an and the people of the world jointly signed a letter, asking Cao De to call him the king, which is true! However, what made the princes a little relieved and disappointed was Cao De's refusal. Stern refusal!
After this incident spread throughout the Han Dynasty, the princes from all walks of life wondered what tricks Cao De was doing.
Actually, this happened inevitably.
Let's take our time.
The cause of this incident was that Cao De got the White Tiger. The white tiger is a mythical beast. Cao De got the White Tiger, didn't he get the favor of God. And in the current era, the monarchy is bestowed. You have to go to heaven to ask for instructions on everything. No, when an emperor ascends the throne, he can't sacrifice to heaven. Therefore, after Cao De got the White Tiger, he had to conform to the will of heaven and take charge of the world's soldiers.
And now Cao De is just a left hussar general. According to the current rank of general of the Han Dynasty, Cao De is the third-ranked general. How can this be in charge of the soldiers of the world?
If you want to be in charge of the world's soldiers, you must at least have the rank of general. However, the general had to be rewarded through the Han court.
However, Cao De is now very unhappy with the imperial court, and next year will be the time for the swords to meet. Is it possible for Han Ting to make Cao De a general, will Cao De ask Han Ting for a general!
None of this is possible. So, we don't have to ask anyone. Let's seal ourselves up. Therefore, under the leadership of Gu Yong, all the people petitioned to let Cao De be king.
Although Cao De was the king, although Gu Yong picked the head, it was Jia Xu's idea, and then Xu Shu, Guo Jia and Gu Yong discussed it.
And the root of the matter of being the king is that Cao De will refuse, and there is no room for negotiation to refuse.
Since Cao De would refuse, why did Gu Yong and the others do it.
That's the problem. The double reed sung by Gu Yong and Cao De was for Liu Xie to see and for the princes.
As long as Cao De refuses to be the king, then Gu Yong and the others can write a letter against thieves.
You see, our family Cao De has not yet become king after getting the White Tiger, so will our family Cao De usurp the Han and stand on his own. What a joke.
You Liu Bei, we respect you as the uncle of the Han Emperor, don't you know how to lift. Uncle Han can act recklessly? Can Uncle Huang of the Han Dynasty frame Zhongliang? Hurry up and give an explanation, otherwise, we'll see you on the battlefield!
And in this way, not only washed away Cao De's grievances, but also made his army a righteous army, and it could arouse the hatred of the military and civilians in all Cao De's territory.
Kill three birds with one stone, why not. Therefore, this thing must not only be done, but also done with great momentum, and the results must be widely publicized!
After the princes learned the news of Cao De's refusal to be king, they quickly understood what Cao De meant.
One said that Cao De wanted to be the emperor; One said that Cao De didn't even dare to be the king, let alone the emperor. One is the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty; One is to have Rui Beast in his hand as a guarantee. Who should I listen to? In other words, whether Cao De is a loyal minister or a traitor, and whether Liu Bei is a loyal minister or a traitor.
However, it doesn't matter who is loyal and who is traitor.
Anyway, the formation of the army has been set, and the battle against Cao De cannot be escaped. In the end, who is loyal and who is traitorous, it will be clear after the war.
Since ancient times, history has been written by the victors. The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.
So, let's wait and see!
After such a fuss, it was Cao De who benefited the most. The morale and morale of Cao De's 270,000 troops were unprecedentedly strong. And Liu Bei and others are a little at a loss.
However, Chinese culture is too broad and profound. Every word, every word, every sentence. You can say it right and say it back.
Therefore, in the nearly ten months before the start of the war, it was the time for the capable people under Cao De and Liu Bei to criticize each other.
This is the war of public opinion! Whoever wins, who can play with confidence.
The war of public opinion, in Cao De's view, has a lot of significance and little significance. In this era, big fists are the last word, and everyone is competing for the speed and strength of punches. And the winner in the battle of public opinion can naturally punch without scruples. Fast, ruthless and powerful. And those who are responsible for the loss have some scruples and can only defend timidly.
However, if the fist is too small, even if you are right. In Cao De's view, Liu Bei's fist is just a baby's fist. Even if Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others are added, Liu Bei's allies are just on par with themselves!
Therefore, after Cao De handed over this public opinion battle to Gu Yong, Xu Shu and others, Cao De leisurely took the two little white tigers around here and there.
Cao De is not touring the mountains and rivers, but letting the officers and soldiers of the three armies see the true face of the white tiger. You see, I didn't lie to you. It's really a white tiger, although it's only small. However, when Cao De put the white tiger skin on himself, he simply turned into a white tiger and became the spokesperson of the white tiger who descended to earth and walked in the world!
Cao De's army of 270,000 is almost distributed in the vast east, west, north and south, and it is not easy for Cao De to complete this circle. Therefore, Cao De brought Huang Wudie and the newlywed Yan'er Guo Jia Zhurong and his family.
And here, Cao De finally saw the strength of Huang Wudie and Zhu Rong. As a result, Cao De is also preparing to establish a women's army for the two heroines! However, before Cao De's plan was proposed, Huang Wudie urged Cao De to go back.
