Cao Cao sent envoys to these places, and then recruited troops in Yanzhou with the support of dozens of families, and for a time his army exceeded 400,000, and dozens of generals went around to sweep up bandits and bandits, and the vigorous Cao Cao became the king and completely collapsed the whole world.

Xi Zhong and others asked Cao Cao to be the king but not the emperor, which was to avoid becoming the target of the public, not to mention that he didn't even have the territory of a continent at this time, and it seemed a little arrogant to be called the emperor.

Because Emperor Xian was killed, the world was in chaos, and after getting the forged imperial edict, except for Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, everyone's reaction was unprecedentedly similar.

Liu Zhang then ascended the throne and became the emperor, and used the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty to preach the edict to the world, condemning Cao Cao for killing the emperor, and asking the princes to encircle and suppress Cao Cao, and revitalize the Han world with him as the main body, but unfortunately even Liu Bei ignored his edict and replied to inform Liu Zhang that it was best not to encroach on the emperor without the consent of the rest of the imperial family;

And Liu Bei's own subordinate ministers and generals are only a few, and after accepting Cao Bao's daughter as his wife, he also called King Qi to open a palace and establish a mansion, and several people made it lively and lively.

There are many generals under Lu Bu in Xiapi, but there is no strategist Wenchen, he has his own plan to stay on hold for the time being, or call himself the general of the Han chariot cavalry to train soldiers every day.

Jingzhou Liu Biao, Nanyang Yuan Shu, Yanbei Yuan Shao, Liaodong Gongsun Du are all called Wang Zili, Chang'an Guo Yan wants to be called the king, Li Dao also wants to be the king, both of them simply say that the king stays in a city looks weird, and Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui discussed for a long time but did not call the king, Ma Teng called himself the Great Sima, Han Sui claimed to be the general to govern the Xiliang place, and Shixie, who was far away in Jiaozhou, saw that it was so lively and followed the king.

The other small princes can only make a choice, and they can only ensure peace by taking refuge in that force, Liu Yu was seen through by Guo Jia and others, and directly handed over the territory and 20,000 troops under his command to Chen Mo, and he took his family to Donglai County, Qingzhou, and simply taught with Chen Mo's father-in-law, Cai Yong.

A large group of people in the General's Mansion looked at Chen Mo. And Kong Rong, an old man who was still loyal to the royal family, looked at Chen Mo and asked curiously:

"The general is not king?"

"Why are you king? Could it be that a small court could be formed? What's the use of that thing, I can still divide the official position now, but it's better to be smaller, a little smaller, so that I don't have an official position in the future to reward everyone, and tell you where I belong. If you want to get glory and rewards, don't wait for me to be the king and hegemon, there will naturally be rewards for merit. Chen Mo leaned back on the chair and looked at the military generals who came to persuade him to be king, and smiled.

Kong Rong nodded and said:

"The general is wise, if you are called the king now, then it will be difficult to settle in the future, but if you are all kings and hegemons today, even Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui call themselves the great generals and great Sima, if your reputation is low, many people will be lost."

Chen Mo smiled calmly. He looked at the large group of generals Wen Chen below who had personally recruited him and smiled:

"If it is for the people of the world, they will choose the most suitable person to serve, if it is only for the sake of seeking official wealth and fame, they will not choose me, many people have followed me for more than many years, my general's government has always been people-oriented, people who want to be officials to obtain wealth, there have been many officials who have been cut down in recent years;

Of course, the hussar general is not famous. But there is no one in Shenzhou who does not know that Qingzhou and Jizhou are rich, and Bingzhou is far more stable than other continents. I welcome those who wish to do things for the people have their own choices, and I welcome them to join my team, and don't regret being my enemy. ”

Xun You on the side has also been friends with Chen Mo for a long time, and he said happily:

"The original Liu Yu was engaged in Tian Chou, Beihai Wang Xiu and other talents, all of whom were arranged by the General's Mansion to serve in various places according to their respective abilities, but the world is the king, although the general will not quickly become the king. But the hegemony of the world is the goal that everyone looks forward to, and Xun You is willing to be loyal to the Lord and determine the world fairly. ”

Xun You knelt on the ground and shouted while speaking, and Xu Shu and the others all knelt on the ground and called the lord three times, this voice is different from the subordination, in this feudal era. The lord and the boss are two different things.

After Chen Mo let everyone get up, he said:

"I also know what you think, and most of my thoughts also understand, we need to take our time in this matter, and we will only mess up with others overnight, look at Liu Bei in Xuzhou, three or two generals under him, Wenchen is Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and they are actually called kings, what does he think of Lu Bu, who is still a general of the chariot and cavalry?

You all work hard, and we will soon have a big war to start, so that all the princes of the world think that it is best for us to ignore them without time. ”

"No"

The ministers retreated, Chen Mo left Xun You and Xu Shu, who were in charge of the military, to return to the study, and there was a huge map in his study that he had drawn by himself, the map was surveyed and mapped by later generations, and then he annotated it according to the current name, and he made the maps of each state and county for Xu Shu to arrange for someone to draw them secretly;

These things in the martial arts gate can be exchanged for a price equal to that of giving them away, but if they want to be used, they need to be modified one by one, seeing such accurate drawings, Xu Shu and the others, as military advisors, know the advantages.

Chen Mo stood in front of the map and looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice:

"According to the news of the Wei Palace, Cao Cao has sent three envoys to Qianghu, Xianbei and Liaodong, two of them have entered Jizhou at this time, I let them go, maybe the war will come in two or three months, how is our army mobilized."

徐庶 says:

"In the past two years, we have 200,000 war horses, 40,000 Jizhou cavalry, 60,000 Bingzhou cavalry, 60,000 infantry Jizhou and 40,000 Bingzhou, 50,000 Qingzhou infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and they have been ordered to closely monitor movements everywhere;

The 30,000 navy led by Chen Gong already has combat effectiveness, but they are still equipped with those weapons that have been tested, this time the general wants them to go to Sanhan, can they change their equipment? ”

Xun You shook his head and said:

"I suggest not to change, Sanhan is just a sparsely populated place, this expedition to Sanhan in addition to 30,000 naval troops and hundreds of warships, there are also 20,000 Qingzhou infantry troops proficient in mountain warfare led by Tai Shici, Huang Zhong went to Youzhou to command, Li Su, Zhao Yun and others can use new tactics to eliminate the enemy, wait for the opportunity to annihilate Qianghu in one fell swoop and recover the Hetao area;

When they stabilize the follow-up new army has been trained, and then they can attack from Hetao and Youzhou to encircle and suppress Xianbei, we want absolutely loyal people, not foreign races who want to plunder the Central Plains at every turn, if they can force Xianbei to surrender, I suggest that the lord transfer their cavalry to Bingzhou, send officials to manage them in a unified manner, and kill them once if there are signs of turmoil, until they dare not have a crooked heart.

As for the Gongsun Du of Liaodong, if it is fast, it may be completely solved in three or two months, and when Sanhan and Liaodong are connected, we will have to deal with Buyeo and Goguryeo and other places, so we will not have time to fight internally in these two or three years;

Therefore, our elite weapons have to be left against more powerful enemies, and they will prepare accordingly if they are leaked in advance, which is beneficial to us in the early stage, but it will be more troublesome in the later stage. (To be continued.) )
