Cao Cao fell silent, his brows furrowed, and he repeatedly weighed what Guo Jia said.
He knew very well that what Guo Jia said was an opponent.
The potters and Liu Bei have both been kings, and the titles of the generals under his command have all achieved the high position of former generals, and the generals under his command are only miscellaneous generals at the top, far lower than the generals under the command of Taoshang and Liu Bei.
It was precisely because Cao Cao's official position was not high enough that he could not make his subordinates high-ranking officials.
In this way, the civil and military officials with the same qualifications, the official position in the pottery merchant is much higher than the official position in Cao Cao, and under the temptation of interests, how can these heroes under his command follow him with all their hearts.
After much thought, Cao Cao realized that whether he wanted to be or not, he had to be king.
But how many people have persuaded him before, but he has rejected it with righteousness and solemnity, and now if he repents and becomes king, won't it make the world laugh at him for going back on his word.
Cao Cao's gaze looked at Xun Yu.
He hoped that this important adviser would stand up and persuade him, so that he would have enough face and enough steps to accept everyone's persuasion logically.
Xun Yu was always silent, with a gloomy face, and he didn't say a word.
Cao Cao's brows darkened, and a little displeasure flashed in his eyes, dissatisfied with Xun Yu's silence.
Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's thoughts, and glanced at Cao Ang again, Cao Ang understood, immediately knelt down, and said impassionedly: "Fang Jin's situation, the thief is strong and I am weak, the net worth and lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Guanlong are all tied to the father's hand, and the father is also asked to focus on the overall situation and enter the throne." ” As soon as Cao Ang took it with him, the rest of the civil and military forces followed and knelt on the ground, begging Cao Cao to become king in unison.
Looking at his son who was kneeling on the ground, and the pleading eyes of the ministers, Cao Cao's heart was surging, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said with his hands: "I really want to be the king, everything is forced by you, you all get up, I agreed." ” When everyone saw Cao Cao agree, they were all overjoyed and rejoiced for a while.
So, with Cao Cao's acquiescence, Guo Jia and other civil and military ministers immediately got busy and built momentum for Cao Cao's claim to be king.
In less than a month, Wuwei, Tianshui, Fufeng and other counties in Guanzhong and Liangzhou flew to Chang'an like snowflakes, claiming that auspicious signs appeared in various places, indicating that Cao Cao was hinted by heaven and should be the true lord of life.
Guo Jia also sent a large number of fine works to spread rumors among the people, claiming that the Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with the usurpation of power by the pottery merchants, and had sent someone to pass on a secret decree to Cao Cao, making Cao Cao the king, and letting Cao Cao Qin destroy the thieves and support the Han Sheji.
With the tide of public opinion, officials and gentry from all over the country quickly understood Cao Cao's intentions, and they all went to the table to persuade Cao Cao to become king.
The local public opinion has been established, and Guo Jia and other ministers in Chang'an City have joined forces and sent a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to present himself as the king.
Of course, Cao Cao couldn't learn from the potters so roughly, so he had to learn from Liu Bei, and he gave in several times, and he resigned one more time than Liu Bei.
It wasn't until the fourth joint letter that Cao Cao was forced to say that he was not virtuous and learned, and he was not a member of the Han royal family, so he didn't dare to be the king, but he didn't dare to go against the will of the Son of Heaven, and in order to fight against the traitor of the Tao thief, he had to accept the invitation of the ministers and present himself as the king.
In the winter of that year, Cao Cao built a high platform in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, held a ceremony, proclaimed himself the king of Qin, and set the capital of Chang'an.
Jiangdong, Moling.
In Wuhou's mansion, there was a lot of discussion, and it was not lively.
"This potter, he is really bold, he is actually the king" Sun Ce looked at the information in his hand, sneered in his mouth, but there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes.
Appreciate the courage of the potter.
"The potter was very ambitious, and from the time he first called Liang Gong, I expected that he would take the step of becoming king."
Zhou Yu at the bottom of the stairs looked like a god, and his words changed, but he said: "However, that Liu Xuande dared to present himself as the King of Yan, which was a bit unexpected to me." ” As soon as the words fell, the soldiers outside the hall hurriedly entered, and handed over the latest information to Sun Ce's case.
Sun Ce just picked up the silk book information casually, and only glanced at it, but Yinglang's face changed suddenly, and then showed surprise.
"Bo Fu, what's going on" Zhou Yu saw that something was wrong from the change in Sun Ce's expression.
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, a sarcastic sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he threw the silk book in his hand on the case, "Within a year, there will be three kings in the world, it seems that our Han Dynasty is really exhausted and hopeless." ” Three kings Everyone at the bottom of the stairs glanced at each other, all of them did not understand the deep meaning of Sun Ce's words, and they were busy picking up the silk book, and everyone watched together.
The information comes from the distant Guanzhong, and the content is simple: Cao Cao reigned as king.
In the lobby, there was an uproar, and these Jiangdong heroes were all shocked.
At that time, Han Gaozu had a testament, not the Liu family but the king, the world attacked it, since then, the king with a different surname has become synonymous with the usurpation of the dynasty.
But I didn't want to, overnight, in addition to the pottery merchants who held the Son of Heaven hostage, Liu Bei and Cao Cao also became kings one after another, and suddenly there were three kings in the world, two of which turned out to be kings with different surnames.
Looking at the hotly discussed subordinates, Sun Ce stroked his chin with one hand, and tapped the desk rhythmically with the tip of his finger, and in his bright star-like eyes, there was a complicated look, as if he was weighing something in his heart.
Seeing Sun Ce's expression, Zhou Yu was thoughtful, and suddenly arched his hand and said: "Bo Fu, Tao Liu Cao and the three thieves have all been called kings, what are you waiting for, just set yourself up as the king of Wu." ” As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the lobby.
Sun Ce's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yu, who seemed to be pleased that Zhou Yu understood his own thoughts.
"Lord, Gong Jin's proposal must not be."
Zhang Zhao, who was deeply shocked, was the first to jump out to object, "Since the two Han Dynasty, all those who call the king are chaotic ministers and thieves, and everyone will be punished. ” Sun Ce's brows froze secretly, obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Zhao's opposition, but it was not easy to refute it in person, so he looked at Zhou Yu again.
Zhou Yu coughed a few times, his thoughts were racing, and he was planning words in his chest, thinking about how to refute Zhang Zhao.
At this moment, among the staff, one person stood tall and said loudly: "Zhang Zibu's argument is really pedantic. ” Everyone was shocked, and their eyes turned to the high-minded man, and they saw a scribe who was short in stature, with a dark face, and whose appearance could almost be commented on as ugly.
"Pang Shiyuan, how come my words have become pedantic" Zhang Zhao glared at the man and asked unhappily.
The scribe ignored Zhang Zhao, and only bowed his hand to Sun Ce, "My lord, Pang Tong has a few big truths, I don't know whether to say it or not." ” "Mr.
Feng Yan has a high opinion, so naturally it is okay to say it."
Sun Ce's eyes flashed with joy, and he flicked his hands happily.

Pang Tong cleared his throat and said loudly: "When the world is peaceful, he is naturally a chaotic minister and thief, and he will destroy himself, but now the world is in chaos, the authority of the Son of Heaven has been lost, and the Han Dynasty has been exhausted. ” Pang Tongxi spoke, and Zhang Zhao's face turned pale when he listened, and he was a little ashamed, as if he had heard something that he shouldn't have heard.
The decline of the Han family is something that everyone knows, but most people don't want to bear the reputation of rebellious ministers and thieves, and no one dares to say it in person.
Among the heroes of Jiangdong, Pang Tong was the first person who dared to say that the Han Dynasty would be destroyed.
"Pang Shiyuan, you you" Zhang Zhao was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, but Sun Ce nodded slightly, admiring Pang Tong's straightforwardness, and motioned for him to continue.
Pang Tong raised his hand and pointed to the north, and continued: "Liu Bei and Cao Cao followed the pottery merchant to become the king, just because they didn't want to be overwhelmed by the pottery merchant in the name. ” "Shi Yuan is right, Bo Fu, you must be king."
Zhou Yu followed closely.
As soon as the two of them took the lead, veterans such as Han Dang, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, as well as young generals such as Zhou Tai and Dong Xi, were also impassioned and asked Sun Ce to be king.
Zhang Zhao's opposition was soon drowned out in the passionate persuasion, which was so insignificant.
Seeing that all his subordinates rose up to persuade him, Sun Ce's ambition was also ignited, and without hesitation, he took the case and said proudly: "Even the traitor of the pottery merchant, Liu Bei's weaver and shoe seller, Cao Cao's eunuch can be called the king after being ugly, my Sun Ce is the little overlord of Jiangdong, why can't I be called the king, this King Wu, my Sun Ce is decided."
Yedu.
The news of the pottery merchant's claim to be the king flew to all parts of the world like snowflakes, and the movements of the princes of the Quartet were also sent to Yecheng by Zhang Yi's detailed network as soon as possible, and to the hands of the potter, the newly ascended King of Wei.
"In Youzhou, Liu Bei claimed to have been ordered by the Son of Heaven to be the king of Yan, and his capital was set in Jicheng."
Zhang Yi read out the first piece of information.
When the words fell, Fan Xu scolded: "Damn, this big-eared thief is a fart, our King Wei is king, and he will follow and be king." ” "The big-eared thief is not a king, he has long had this ambition, even if there is no king to be king, he will be king sooner or later."
The potter sneered, had expected it, and motioned for Zhang Yi to continue.
He remembered that in history, after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong and took all the two states of Jingyi, he presented himself as the king of Hanzhong, which shows that he has long had ambitions, but it is just a matter of whether he has this strength.
Zhang Yi changed a silk book and continued to read: "In the news of Chang'an, Cao Cao also followed Liu Bei and announced that he had followed the secret decree of the Son of Heaven and proclaimed himself the king of Qin, with the capital in Chang'an. ” "I'll fuck it, it turns out that this Cao Cao is also a follower, and he is also called the king."
Fan scolded again.
Cao Cao's claim to be king was also expected by the potters.
In the past history, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and successively forced the Son of Heaven to crown him as the Duke of Wei and the King of Wei.
Now that Cao Cao sits in Guanlong Liangzhou, coupled with the land of Hanzhong, it can be said that after him, the king of Wei, the second strongest prince in the world, even Liu Bei dares to be the king, so why should Cao Cao.
"As for Jiangdong, if it weren't as expected by this king, Sun Ce, the little overlord, should also be the king."
The potter asked lightly.
"King Wei is like a god."
Zhang Yi's face was curious, and he took out a silk book and presented it, "Not long after Liu Bei and Cao Cao successively became kings, Sun Ce, with the support of Zhou Yu and others, officially proclaimed himself King of Wu, set his capital in Moling, and changed it to Jianye. ” The potter nodded slightly, Sun Ce's title to the king was actually expected by him.
Sun Ce's personality is very different from that of his younger brother Sun Quan, Sun Quan in history is better at the art of power and strategy, and Taoguang has been obscure for more than ten years before he was enthroned as King Wu under Cao Pi's strategy.
Sun Ce is different, just like his nickname Xiaobawang, he is a person who does his own thing, domineering and decisive, with his character, he will not be willing to be above the name, succumb to himself, and it is imperative to be the king.
"Yuan Shang of Bingzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, what is the reaction of these three princes, won't they all be kings?"
The potter asked, flicking his hand.
Zhang Yi hurriedly reported the information of the three states.
Although the princes of these three roads did not dare to directly claim the king, they all appeared to be the sons of heaven and claimed to be the princes of the country.
Among them, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is self-represented as the Duke of Chu, Yuan Shang of Bingzhou is self-represented as the Duke of Jin, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou is self-represented as the Duke of Shu.
The strength of these three princes is inferior to that of Cao, Liu and Sun, and they dare not claim to be kings, so it is not surprising that they retreat to the second place to be called the prince.
"The king of our family is the king of Wei, Liu Bei is the self-proclaimed king of Yan, Cao Cao is the self-proclaimed king of Qin, plus Sun Ce's king of Wu, and what other dukes of Shu, Jin, and Chu, how is it a bit like the Seven Heroes of the Warring States" Fan Xu counted with his fingers for a long time and came to such a conclusion.
The pottery merchant's expression moved, and he suddenly remembered that the situation in the world at this time was really similar to the Warring States, when there were Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin, and Qixiong standing side by side, but today there are Wei, Qinyan, Wu, Chu, Shujin, and the seven princes to divide the world.
"Seven heroes stand side by side."
The potter was thoughtful, and muttered with emotion: "This world is getting more and more interesting" isjgy:
