Chapter 289: Cao Cao was cornered
People in the world say that there are three major conspiracy in the world that are difficult to break.
First, two peaches kill three soldiers.
Second, push the grace order.
Third, the Son of Heaven is courted by the Son of Heaven.
Of course, this is just a legend.
So naturally, there is a great deal of controversy.
For example, some people say that Wei saved Zhao and respected the king...... These are all tricks that are very difficult to break.
But in any case, the worship of the Son of Heaven to please the unsubordinate is a doubling version of respecting the king.
It's almost impossible to break.
Unless there is a person like Liu Bei who can run out.
And it instantly became overwhelming.
Historically, this did not happen.
So, this has become an almost unbreakable conspiracy.
Because Cao Cao has always maintained his strength, even if he loses the battle of Chibi, in fact, the loss is not too big.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
At the very least, he can also stir up the relationship between Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
This strategic depth alone is enough for him to operate.
However, in this parallel time and space, due to Chen Feng's appearance, Liu Bei's power instantly swelled to a great extent.
The most critical thing is.
He also maintained a pretty good reputation.
As a result, one does not rob others of the inheritance, and at the same time is one of the participants in the edict of the cloth and belt, and one of the relatives of the Han family...... 's strongest Liu Bei was born.
Suddenly, the Son of Heaven became a little dangerous in order to please him.
But when it comes to it, everything is actually fine.
After all, Cao Cao can still continue to live by provoking Sun Liu.
But now, that doesn't exist.
After all, the three parties have already made a bloody alliance.
Although there are many people in these years who have broken their promises, no one will break such a covenant under normal circumstances.
Because of this, Cao Cao's biggest card was broken like this.
He had to find a new way out now.
Otherwise, his next path may not be so easy.
Because of the success of the tripartite alliance, as long as the three parties are not stupid, they will definitely win the support of others.
If you just win over Xiliang, those people will forget it.
But the question is, what if Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, or Sun Quan still won the support of the princes of the Central Plains and the North?
In addition to this, there is another point that is also important.
In the past, the reason why Cao Cao personally led the army to the expedition every time was actually because of this.
But at that time, he could still suppress some voices that were not too good.
But now?
Can't hold it down!
This also means that if he goes to the expedition again from now on, he is likely to face the problem of a fire in the backyard.
No.
Not very likely.
It's bound to happen.
Therefore, today's Cao Cao must find a new way.
In other words, now he has to take the path he doesn't really want to take.
Usurper!
Originally, he wanted to leave this matter to his son.
Otherwise, he would not have come to Zhou Gong to spit and feed, and the world would return to his heart.
What did Zhou Gong do?
Grow and grow, and at the same time prepare for the feller.
In addition, it left a great deal of room for operation for the growth of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
To put it simply, this is what Cao Cao is doing now.
To put it more simply.
As long as Cao Pi does not die, there is almost no problem if he wants to usurp Han in the future.
Because most of the problems have been solved by Cao Cao's generation.
As long as Cao Pi does what he does step by step and at the same time woos those cronies, he will be ready to usurp the throne.
But now?
No more.
If Cao Cao did not usurp the throne, the next world might become a situation where the Quartet would crusade against him alone under the leadership of Liu Bei.
In such a situation, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to hold on.
Therefore, by now, he can no longer go to the person above the Son of Heaven.
He could only go to the throne of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time place most of his cronies in places where conflicts might break out.
In this way, everyone is fighting for the Cao family.
During this time, there may be some discordant sounds.
However, Cao Cao was ready, so he wouldn't be afraid at all.
This is not what he has been worried about.
What he worries about is actually his reputation and the future of his sons.
Of course, in addition to this, there is also the question of whether Xun Or and others will continue to follow him.
It can be said that there are many problems.
However, no matter how many problems there are, Cao Cao can only take that step.
Otherwise, the next one will become the one who is lost in an instant.
Some people may say, is it not because he usurped the throne, isn't it lost by everyone?
Of course it is.
But the problem is that if he usurps the throne, then no matter what other people think in their hearts, as long as they recognize him on the surface, it will no longer be possible to rebel.
What if not a usurper?
It's like the one mentioned above.
As long as one person is moved by Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, and is really on the side of the Han family, Cao Cao will lose a cent of his strength.
To put it simply, Cao Cao can no longer pretend to be a loyal minister of the Han family, and then pull everyone together.
From then on, he will stand directly on the opposite side of those who continue to be loyal to the Han family.
More precisely......
As long as he usurped the throne, he would have the name of physically destroying these people.
It's just a matter of killing more people.
But his cronies have been cultivated, and even if it will be chaotic now, it should not be too chaotic.
Of course, there is another point that is also crucial.
As long as he usurped the throne, then names such as Kuang Fu Han will naturally no longer exist.
After all, Liu Bei always wants to be the emperor, right?
Otherwise, in what name will you continue to work with him?
If Liu Bei is called emperor, then what is the name of Sun Quan?
It's gone!
It can only be an attachment of Liu Bei.
In the meantime, will Sun Quan accept all this?
When you think about it, you know it's impossible.
In addition, will Liu Zhang watch Liu Bei claim the title of emperor and ignore it?
Even if this person is honest, it is probably impossible for him to watch Liu Bei claim the title of emperor and ignore it, right?
After all, nominally speaking, Liu Zhang's name as emperor is greater than Liu Bei's.
As a result, there is a substantive contradiction between the three parties.
And it's irreconcilable.
Do you still need to be afraid of such an alliance?
"Hey!"
Although he figured out the key to this, and also thought of a way to crack it, Cao Cao still sighed deeply.
Because he really doesn't want to usurp the throne now.
In either sense, he didn't think about it.
After all, his status is higher than that of the Son of Heaven, so why usurp the throne?
How nice would it be to leave it to my son?
I can't say that thousands of years later, someone will give him some good reputation.
But now, he had to do it.
Otherwise, once the alliance is really formed, Cao Cao will be completely erected from now on.
On the one hand, there is a constant fire inside.
On the other hand, there is a constant crusade from all sides.
At the same time, he also lost the name of righteousness.
No matter how you think about it, it's a loss.
