Chapter 383: Becoming Emperor

After staying in Demoling for half a month, Jiangdong should have decided everything, and Wei Tao immediately left Jiangdong with Sun Shangxiang.

It's not that Jiangdong is bad, but Wei Tao has great ambitions, how is he willing to indulge himself in this gentle township, after making sure that Jiangdong is indeed fine, he will naturally immediately take it back to his territory.

When he returned to Jingzhou, Wei Tao had already found that with the temporary calming down of the war, the entire Jingzhou was in a state of tranquility again, as if all kinds of battles had never happened.

It wasn't until Zhou Yu reported all the dead and injured over the past few days that Wei Tao discovered that his losses in these days were not small.

"Gong Jin, what do you think I am now? Looking at this shape, I'm afraid that Cao Cao and Liu Bei already know the reality of our army, I'm afraid they only dare to stick to all the places and wait for our army to move, right? ”

Things in Jiangdong are so smooth, and even because of this, Jingzhou's shape has changed, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have retreated one after another, which is naturally impossible to say that Wei Tao is not proud at all.

However, although Wei Tao was also 'proud', he never 'got carried away', and he was not prepared to act blindly.

"Now that our army has occupied half of the world, its strength is strong, as long as it accumulates strength, it will definitely be able to calm the world, and then it will be the time to realize my long-cherished wish!"

"What the lord said is also true, but there is one thing that the lord may not have imagined, although Cao Cao did not see any action, but after Liu Bei was promoted to the king of Hanzhong, he was a strong soldier, and there were soldiers out of Yangguan and a battle with our army."

"Is that so?"

After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Wei Tao couldn't help but ask and frowned, in history, Shu was weaker than Wei. But he repeatedly took the initiative to compete with the Wei State. I can't imagine that I have to be like this when I face it now. This kind of self-improvement also made Wei Tao a little impressed.

This is the way for a small country to become strong!

After receiving Zhou Yu's affirmative reply, Wei Tao was slightly silent before he said slowly.

"This time is different from the previous shape, no matter what advantage Liu Bei has, I'm afraid that Cao Cao will not be a bystander, once he moves, Cao Jun will definitely come! I wonder what Gong Jin can do to deal with it? ”

"Lord Qi. Now Liu Bei has established himself as the king of Hanzhong, Cao Cao, Jin and Wei, in contrast, the name of the lord and general is no longer enough to command the world, and he also asks the lord to be the emperor and fight for the world in the name of the emperor. ”

Zhou Yu didn't say a solution, but directly persuaded Wei Tao to be promoted like everyone else.

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to directly persuade him this time, but Wei Tao was a human being, and he didn't have as many entanglements as Cao Cao in history, as long as he could achieve his own expulsion of foreigners. It is good to protect the ambition of the people of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, Wei Tao was also prepared, so he was only slightly stunned and came back to his senses. He nodded towards Zhou Yu and said.

"What Gong Jin said is very true, but it is not a trivial matter to be called the emperor, I should think about it carefully. What else can be done to deal with it? ”

"Yes, the lord wants to respond to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, in addition to this name, it should also rely on the strength in his hands, but our army is not strong now, so we can only defend for a while."

Zhou Yu nodded and did not open his mouth to persuade again, but talked about precautions, after many years of getting along, he knew that Wei Tao had already made up his mind, and then it was up to the other courtiers to do.

"However, with the temperament of the lord, if it is just a garrison, I am afraid it is not the true intention of the lord, the lord still wants to be able to defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so the lord is not only a defender, but also should consume the strength of his army to prepare for a counterattack."

"What does Gong Jin think it should be?"

Wei Tao nodded, this is a grand strategy, and it is naturally recognized, but this question, Wei Tao still asked how to act.

"Qi Yu Lord, although Cao Cao is not as good as the lord, but there is still half of the world, and in recent years, Cao Cao has been recuperating and recuperating, and he has not fought around like our army, and his strength is extremely strong, if he forcibly attacks, I am afraid that he may not be able to win, so I think that Cao Cao should be stationed first, so as to remain unchanged, and break Liu Bei first!"

Zhou Yu slowly said yes, and his expression was extremely serious.

"Although Liu Bei is also very strong, but after all, there is only one state in Xichuan, and it is difficult to contend with the lord with the power of one state. This method is wonderful, but if the lord can defeat it, he can break his military strength in one fell swoop, and then attack his Xichuan, and then he can go straight in one line. Although Xichuan is a difficult road, but for thousands of years, it is not that there is no road to connect, when seeing the shape of the unfavorable, Xichuan must be frightened by people's hearts, and when the time comes, it must be surrendered, just like those Jiangdong scholars, so although Xichuan is a complicated road, it must be a trouble for the Lord! ”

Wei Tao nodded, Zhou Yu's meaning was very clear, that is, to hit the enemy hard.

Of course, this thing is simple to say, but in fact, it is not simple, if Liu Bei attacks, it must be based on Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge has been cautious all his life, this is the evaluation of Zhuge Liang in his previous life, and in this life, Wei Tao has also fought with Zhuge Liang, maybe Zhuge Liang does not have the courage to make a desperate attempt, but every time he arranges, he keeps the back hand, even if he loses his calculations, he is also harmless.

Such people may miss some opportunities, but they are often able to keep their own losses at all, and it is indeed not that simple to win.

"What Gong Jin said is true."

After a period of contemplation, Wei Tao finally spoke slowly.

"Then if Liu Bei and Cao Cao are attacking, Liu Bei and I should respond to them, but who can stop Cao Cao?"

There are a lot of ministers and generals under Wei Tao, but there are not many people who can stop Cao Cao from being a hero in this life, although Xun Yu is not as good as Xun Yu, but if he is called the emperor, he is afraid that at most he will be an official to help him take care of internal affairs, and it is impossible to lead the army.

As for Zhuge Jin, now that he has arrived in the northern Xinjiang, it is precisely when the foreign tribes in the northern regions are integrated into the Han Dynasty, and it is when the results are seen, and he cannot be separated at all, not to mention that he may not be Cao Cao's opponent.

As for others, of course, there are people like Zhang Liao and Xu Huang who stand alone, but if it is Cao Cao's subordinates, it will naturally be fine, but it is not easy to respond to Cao Cao himself.

The previous battle of Jingzhou has shown that when Cao Cao and Liu Bei watched from the wall, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were still able to deal with it, but when it came to the crisis in Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's strong attack they were not supported.

As for others such as Pang Tong, Lu Xun and others, judging from their talents alone, it may be possible to block Cao Cao, but their prestige in the army is not deep, if they lead the army, I am afraid that they will make the army dissatisfied, and it is impossible to block Cao Cao.

"Lord, let the subordinate brother go to this matter, Cao Cao is very strong, the subordinate brother does not dare to guarantee that he can defeat it, but he must do his best to protect the territory and become the victory of our army!"

Zhou Yu also understood that only he could take care of this matter, so he didn't hesitate much at the moment, and just got up and bowed his hand to Wei Tao.

"This battle, whether it is against Cao Cao or Liu Bei, I am afraid it is impossible to have a quick victory, but our army occupies the vast part of the world, and a protracted battle, even if Cao Cao and Liu Bei work together, it is impossible for our army to be the opponent, the lord does not need to be in a hurry, but he can deal with it slowly."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, what Zhou Yu said was right, he didn't need to be in a hurry at this time, as long as he dispatched troops to deal with it.

Wei Tao was silent, but Wei Tao's subordinate ministers and generals kept writing to persuade him, and everyone said that everyone was looking forward to Wei Tao's ascension to the throne as emperor.

The ministers persuaded to advance, one persuasion, Wei Tao resigned, two persuasions, Wei Tao was still resigned, three persuasions, Wei Tao finally responded.

Then as soon as the affairs were prepared, the old capital Luoyang was restored to its old appearance, and Wei Tao would sacrifice heaven and earth here and declare the capital.

All kinds of etiquette are naturally handled, but January is complete, and then in the ceremony, Wei Tao personally walked to the altar, and then sincerely told God.

"Tell the heavens: the Han has lost its virtues, the world has no owner, and now the Quartet has been determined, expelled from foreign races, and the people of the Central Plains live and work in peace and contentment. In turn, when the emperor's industry, to calm the heart of the world. I hereby swear that my dynasty will protect the safety of all the people, drive out the great enemies of the foreign races, make the people healthy, and never suffer from the troubles of the foreign races. The Great Liang Dynasty has been established since then! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”

As Wei Tao prayed to the heavens, the cheers sounded spontaneously, and all the people in the world surrendered.

In the cheers, Wei Tao changed into the robe of the Nine Dragons Emperor, wore a crown of Pingtian, swept his eyes, and his majesty rose, and Wei Tao was a big vassal, and everyone was rewarded.

All of a sudden, the news came out, and the world looked sideways, and no one knew Wei Tao's name.

Hearing that Wei Tao was called the emperor, Liu Bei was immediately furious, and immediately ordered troops to pass through Hanzhong, out of the sun, and rushed straight to kill, on the other side, Emperor Han Xian also ordered Cao Cao to send troops, and Cao Cao happily agreed.

In the face of this, Wei Tao was naturally prepared, knowing that once he became emperor, Cao Cao and Liu Bei would definitely make a move, and immediately followed Zhou Yu's previous plan and immediately ordered Zhou Yu to resist Cao Cao.

However, compared with Cao Cao, in the face of Liu Bei's side Wei Tao did not take immediate action, after all, Shu Dao is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not only difficult to attack foreign enemies, Liu Bei wants to attack Shu There are all kinds of unchanged, especially logistics and grain transportation, so although Liu Bei took the initiative to attack Wei Tao, in reality, Cao Cao sent troops faster.

Of course, Wei Tao was not defenseless at all, so he immediately sent Zhang Liao to take precautions.

With Wei Tao becoming emperor, war will start! (To be continued......)
