The victory in the battle of Hanzhong was the pinnacle of Liu Bei's military warfare in his life, after the victory of this battle, he single-handedly controlled half of Jingzhou, all of Yizhou, and the land of Hanzhong, in terms of the size of the territory, he could already wrestle with Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

At this point, Liu Bei's next move is to become king.

Because as early as two years ago, Cao Cao had already ascended to the throne of Wei.

In order to be politically equal to his old rivals, it is imperative for Liu Bei to ascend to the throne and become king.

And according to the territory he occupied, to be king, of course, he must be the king of Hanzhong.

Because the last one to occupy Bashu and Hanzhong, and the last to be called the king and emperor, was the founder of the clan surnamed Liu, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.

After Liu Bei seized Hanzhong, he almost obtained the same political resources as Liu Bang before the Chu and Han wars.

At this time, if Liu Bei is promoted to the "King of Hanzhong", it will be easy for people to think of Liu Bang's "King of Han". It's just that the country name of the imperial court is "Han", so Liu Bei doesn't dare to call him "King of Han", he can only call him "King of Hanzhong".

This was a huge political offensive for Cao Cao, who had been usurping the Han dynasty and establishing himself. Liu Bei was called the "King of Hanzhong", which had a huge impact and appeal among those who supported Liu and Cao all over the world.

And the situation in the world has also faintly turned at this time: Cao Cao no longer has the possibility of dominating the world. On the contrary, it is Liu Bei, who may repeat the story of Liu Bang back then, enter the customs from Hanzhong, and then eliminate the heroes. It is the great significance of the "King of Hanzhong" to Liu Bei - not only at the military level, but also at the political level.

So what followed was the trick of persuasion by the ministers, and finally Zhuge Liang finally made Liu Bei speechless with an irrefutable argument, and his heart was full of joy.

In the autumn and July of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, the altar was built in Chuyang, with a radius of nine miles, distributed in five directions, and each set up a flag guard of honor. The ministers are all in order. Xu Jing and Fa Zheng invited Xuande to the altar, entered the crown and seal, sat facing south, and was congratulated by civil and military officials as the king of Hanzhong. The son Liu Chan was established as the prince of the king.

Xu Jing was appointed as the Taifu, Fa Zheng was the Shang Shuling, and Zhuge Liang was the military advisor, and the prime minister was the prime minister of the military state. Feng Guanyu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong were the generals of the Five Tigers, and Wei Yan was the Taishou of Hanzhong. The rest are to be knighted for meritorious service.

Among them, Gao Xiang, Guo Yuan and other heroes who participated in the battle of Yangpingguan were also rewarded, and the military was happy for a while.

Xuande is the king of Hanzhong, so he repaired the watch and sent people to Xudu, in addition to the above table, but also returned the seal ribbon of General Zuo and Yicheng Pavilion by the way, which is called a beginning and an end.

And after Cao Cao heard the news that Liu Bei was called the king of Hanzhong in Yecheng, he couldn't help but be furious and shouted: "Weaver Xiaoer, dare to do this!

Of course, he just said that, because of his policy of relocating the people in his own way, the logistical disaster caused by it led to the collapse of the Central Plains, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

On the Hanzhong side, when others call Fengzhou, they are no longer called "Zen Gongzi" or "Gongzi Zen", but "Shizi Zen".

There is an advantage to becoming the prince of the king, that is, you can open a government and set up your own small team.

However, Feng Zhou was not in the mood to do this for the time being, he took advantage of Liu Bei's happiness and said: "Father, now that you are the king of Hanzhong, the second uncle has been awarded the head of the five tiger generals, the former general, and the fake Jieyue, in order to make Hanzhong stable, the second uncle should lead the army to attack Xiangyang, and with the talent of the second uncle, he will definitely threaten Xiangfan and shake the Central Plains." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to think of this, not bad. Liu Bei nodded approvingly, very happy in his heart.

"Gu has discussed with Kong Ming, Fa Zheng, and Yide for several days, after the battle of Hanzhong, the whole army is very tired, although it has been repaired, but it still can't fight continuously, so Yun Chang can only fight alone and make a move to threaten the Central Plains. Liu Bei said with a smile.

"The father is wise, but the second uncle is arrogant and conceited, and the father has captured Hanzhong, and the second uncle must want to take Xiangfan, so that he can explain to his good brother. In this way, the war will be protracted, and Jiangdong Sun Quan Xiao'er will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack, and with the talents of Uncle Fang (Mi Fang) and others, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the attacks of treacherous people like Lu Su, Lu Meng or Lu Xun, so they must send a fierce general to guard the rear of the second uncle. Feng Zhou said.

"Nonsense, Lu Zijing is a loyal gentleman, how can he be a treacherous person. Liu Bei said with a smile, but still nodded: "But what you said makes a lot of sense, Wu'er has grown up after the battle of Hanzhong, and he is very lucky." It's just that the battle of Hanzhong has just passed, and the soldiers are tired, where can anyone go to Jingzhou at this time to sit in the rear for Yunchang. ”

Feng Zhou smiled and said, "Father, it's far away in the sky, it's close in front of you." ”

"You, no!" Liu Bei subconsciously objected.

What are you kidding, you are only twelve years old, how can a doll who doesn't know anything take risks?

But then I thought about it, and I couldn't help but feel that it made a lot of sense.

First, let Liu Chan inspect the land and win people's hearts.

Second, it is expected that Sun Zhongmou will not attack Jingzhou at the risk of dying and cold, Yun Chang will attack in front, and the rear will be peaceful, and Adou can just experience experience.

Besides, Adou's identity is also suitable.

If you really send a fierce general over, with Yun Changping's arrogant and unbearable character, it will be difficult to get along with him.

And Adou not only has the right identity, but also slashes Xu Huang in a formation, forming a group to attack Cao Zhen's flank, and his military talent has been reflected in the war, which is enough for Yun Chang to sit in the rear.

When the eaglet grows up, it always spreads its wings and goes out to practice.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei had already agreed in his heart, but said in his mouth: "This matter is still to be discussed with Kong Ming, Xiaozhi, Yide and others, you can step down." ”

Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others to discuss, and as a result, everyone discussed, and felt that what Feng Zhou said made a lot of sense, the so-called military affairs, stability is the first, Guan Yu wants the Northern Expedition to contain Cao Cao, and there must be a strong man in the rear.

And Feng Zhou is very suitable regardless of identity, age, and his own skills.

Fa Zhengdao: "It's a pity that Wang Shizi never led the troops, but he was afraid of going into battle to sharpen his guns." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "What's so difficult about this? Just let him command the five hundred people in Guo Yuan's department, and let the group of students he teaches as his wings, even Yun Chang can rest assured." ”

Liu Bei laughed when he heard this, and the subordinate general Guo Yuanzeng's command was handed over to Feng Zhou's jurisdiction, a total of 500 people, and according to Feng Zhou's proposal, it was named "Beiwei Army".

According to the establishment of the troops, he was promoted from the tun chief to the capital commander, the other Sima was served by Wu Tong, and Leng Feng' Shihuan and others served as the tun chief, Shi Chang, Wu Chang and other positions.

These low-level officers were all taught by Feng Zhou himself, and now they have been promoted because of his contributions, so they are naturally loyal to him, and they can be regarded as Feng Zhou's team. ’

So Liu Bei made a big show and arranged for Sima Feishi in the front to be the envoy, and he sent his order to Jingzhou.

The Beiwei army disguised itself as an escort army, sealed the boat and hid in it, concealed his name and identity, and came all the way to Jiangling, the seat of Jingzhou Governance.

Guan Yu welcomed everyone into the city, and after the ceremony was over, Yun Chang asked, "But I don't know what the king of Hanzhong has given me?"

Fei Shi replied: "The head of the Five Tiger Generals." ”

Guan Yu asked, "The five tiger generals?"

"Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, and Huang are also. ”

Guan Yu was unhappy when he heard this, and said angrily: "Yide is my brother, Meng Qi is a famous family for generations, Zilong has been with my brother for a long time, that is, my brother is also: the position is the same as mine, but also." What kind of person is Huang Zhong, who dares to be in the same column with me?

Feng Zhou listened to Guan Yu's childish words behind Fei Shi, and couldn't help laughing.

Guan Yu saw a pawn laughing, slightly angry, and was about to speak, but saw the pawn take off his hat, stepped forward, and bowed his hand: "Adou greets the second uncle." ”

Guan Yu was stunned and exclaimed: "It's Adou...... , the son?"

"Second uncle, you and my father have the righteousness of brothers, and they are regarded as the same body. The so-called General Guan is the king of Hanzhong, and the king of Hanzhong is General Guan. My father calls me Adou, and my second uncle should naturally call me Adou, so why bother with the title?"

Fei Shi next to him also said: "The prince was ordered by the king of Hanzhong to sneak here, only everyone here knows about this matter, and please don't tell the general." ”

After seeing Guan Yu nodding, Fei Shi said again: "As the prince said, the general is the king of Hanzhong, and the king of Hanzhong is about to be in the army." The general has received the kindness of the king of Hanzhong, and he should share weal and woe with his fellow people, and should not care about the superiority of his official rank. May the general ponder it. ”

Guan Yu realized, but bowed again: "A certain is unknown, if you don't see the teaching, you will miss a few major things." "That is, to bow to the seal.

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Feng Zhou: "A Dou Array beheaded Gongming, after I heard about it, I will drink a few cups with your big brother Tanzhi to celebrate you from afar, and even sigh that it is terrifying." But I don't know why you came here on the orders of your brother this time?"

Feng Zhou said: "Father ordered the second uncle to go north to Xiangfan and conquer Cao Ren, but it is expected that Jiangdong Sun Quan is restless, he is afraid of the second uncle Huwei, and he does not dare to make any big moves, but in private small actions must continue, although Adou is small, dealing with these small actions, it is a good trick, this time I don't cut off Sun Zhongmou's long hand, wouldn't it be in vain for me to worry about him." ”

"Hahaha...... What Adou said was good, and he was going to kill Sun Quan's outstretched hand. Guan Yu laughed heartily.

Feng Zhou said in his heart: "It turns out that the dignified martial saint, my cheap second uncle likes to listen to good words, and it seems that he is also a smooth donkey." Or, in order for me to understand my thoughts, I just follow him. ”
