Knighthood?

Liu Zhang is currently the Marquis of Chengdu, already the highest-ranking Marquis of the county, and at most he can only say that he will increase the number of food towns.

But the whole Yizhou belongs to Liu Zhang, and there is no temptation for him to increase the food town.

Position?

As Yizhou Mu and General Wei, Liu Zhang has no room for promotion.

You can't take away Yuan Shao's general and give it to Liu Zhang by force, right?

But just after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he turned his head and knocked off his general, which was bound to arouse Yuan Shao's shocking anger.

I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will never die with Cao Cao at that time!

Just when Cao Cao was thinking about what else Liu Zhang could covet besides his territory, Cao Cao was shocked by a question from Guo Jia.

"My lord, do you want to be king?"

"Feng Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Cao Cao was frightened into a cold sweat, and then quickly looked around.

After confirming that there was no one there, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Guo Jia angrily.

"Feng Xiao, Gao Zu once said that no one with the surname Liu can be called king!"

"Have you forgotten Yuan Shu's lesson? We have Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south, and our powerful enemy Liu Zhang in the west!"

"Once I, Sikong, assumes the title of king, Liu Zhang is bound to unite with the crowd to attack. By then, we will be done with nothing."

At this time, Cao Cao not only made enemies on all sides, but also suffered enemies from both sides!

He not only had to compete with the princes of the world, but also with the emperor and ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty.

The struggle between the various forces made him exhausted all the time, and he didn't have the mind and courage to think about the matter of becoming king.

Once a different surname is called king, Cao Cao himself has confirmed his notoriety as a national thief.

After all, Dong Zhuo was so brutal that he didn't become king until his death.

Guo Jia's eyes kept staring at Cao Cao's eyes, with a strange light constantly shining.

He didn't care about Cao Cao's anger at all, and he always showed a weird smile.

"My lord, whether you want to do it or not is two different things! I just ask you if you want to do it or not?"

Guo Jia's eyes were so sharp that Cao Cao felt guilty for a while.

As a powerful court official in charge of several states and holding a heavy army, how could Cao Cao be satisfied with the status quo?

It's just that the current conditions don't allow it at all, not to mention the reaction of the princes of the world, even Cao Cao's own civil and military subordinates, I am afraid they will support it.

Even if Cao Cao had this idea, he would keep it firmly in his heart, carefully hide it, and not let anyone know.

"Fengxiao, I, Sikong, don't have this extravagant wish."

"When I was young, I, Sikong, made a wish!"

"For the country's meritorious deeds, to get the title of marquis, to be a general who conquers the west, and to be able to engrave the tombstone of 'the tomb of Marquis Cao, the general who conquered the west of the Han Dynasty' on his tombstone after death is enough!"

Cao Cao held his head high, his whole body exuded a dignified and upright spirit, no matter who saw it, he would praise him for his loyalty!

He is worthy of being a traitor in troubled times!

Guo Jia praised Cao Cao's behavior of "premature concealment" in his heart, and he was not disappointed at all.

He saw the desire in Cao Cao's heart, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be able to cover it up so well.

Once Cao Cao confided, this idea is very dangerous!

"Hahaha! My lord is so ambitious, I admire, admire!"

At this moment, a scribe suddenly walked in from the door.

Not only was this person tall and handsome, but he also had a faint scent of fragrance.

Standing in front of Cao Cao not only highlights his handsomeness, but also makes Cao Cao feel ashamed!

However, Cao Cao's eyes showed joy, and he hurriedly went up to meet him.

"Wen Ruo, you are here!"

It was Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo who were hailed by Cao Cao as "My Son's House".

"I pay my respects to the lord!"

Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to help Xun You up, and then showed a very warm smile.

"Wen Ruo doesn't need to be too polite!"

For Cao Cao, getting along with Xun Yu couldn't be as casual as getting along with Guo Jia.

Although Cao Cao and Xun Yu got along very well indirectly, Xun Yu would never only consider Cao Cao.

As the next patriarch of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun Yu's first consideration is the interests of the family.

The second is to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty to ensure that the world is still headed by the Han Dynasty and supplemented by the aristocratic family.

He served Cao Cao in order to realize this ideal in his heart.

Therefore, when Xun Yu heard that Cao Cao had no ambition to become king, he was naturally very happy.

If you don't want to be king, it means that you are not usurping ministers, and the Han Dynasty is naturally orthodox.

For Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Xun Yu are complementary existences with one inside and one outside.

Guo Jia is his mastermind, helping him to make plans and defeat powerful enemies.

Xun Yu helped Cao Cao sit in the rear, not only to stabilize the situation, but also to help Cao Cao allocate all supplies.

Food for food, people for people!

Xun Yu is also the link connecting the Yingchuan family. With Xun Yu here, all the Yingchuan families will get along with each other!

Even the Guo family where Guo Jia is located is no exception.

Therefore, Cao Cao must love and respect Xun Yu, who is a humble gentleman.

"Feng Xiao, you prodigal son, don't talk nonsense, let alone instigate the lord to become king!"

"My lord, after thinking about Cao Shen, the Cao family is even more loyal for generations! If you do this, won't it be difficult for you to trap the lord?"

Xun Yu's face was extremely gloomy, this time he was really angry.

Even if Guo Jia is his friend for many years, he still has to reprimand him.

Guo Jia was immediately embarrassed. He didn't expect such bad luck to let Xun Yu hear it.

There are countless capable people under Cao Cao's command, and no one would have such a big reaction when he heard his rebellious words, except Xun Yu!

"Wen Ruo, you misunderstood!"

Guo Jia knew Xun Yu's character well, and immediately showed an innocent look.

"Misunderstanding? You can't take me for a fool!"

How clever Xun Yu was, how could he be deceived by Guo Jia's few words, and his expression became even more unkind at the moment.

Seeing that Xun Yu was really angry, Cao Cao was overjoyed.

Fortunately, he hid his ambition deeply, otherwise today would really be a bad end!

Cao Cao couldn't see the two most important advisers under his command fighting against each other, so he hurriedly defended Guo Jia.

"Wen Ruo, you really misunderstood Feng Xiao, he is helping me plan to drive away tigers and wolves!"

"To drive away tigers and devour wolves?"

Fortunately, Cao Cao's words had a strong influence on Xun Yu and stabilized him a little.

Xun Yu is too familiar with driving tigers and devouring wolves. He was the one who originally proposed this strategy.

At the beginning, Liu Bei and Lu Bu were designed.

"Not bad! Wen Ruo, you really misunderstood me!"

Seeing this, Guo Jia nodded quickly, showing an extremely innocent expression.

"What kind of method to drive away tigers and devour wolves?"

Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, wanting to see what kind of explanation he would give him.

"Wen Ruo, there is some news you don't know yet. Liu Zhang defeated Han Sui twice and wiped out 400,000 Qiang soldiers! Now Han Sui is dead, and Ma Chao has surrendered to Liu Zhang. The entire Liangzhou battlefield ended with Liu Zhang's complete victory! "

I thought that Xun Yu would also be horrified when he heard the news, but he didn't expect that Xun Yu was very calm and his emotions did not fluctuate!

"Isn't Wen Ruo shocked by the news?"

Xun Yu was too calm, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were shocked when they heard this!

"This is the second time I've heard the news, what's there to be shocked about?"
