The result is obvious, if Liu Zhang really dares to do this, his identity as a traitor and traitor will be completely confirmed!

Especially the title of Duke Qin will immediately become prominent.

Everyone in the world will think that Liu Zhang wants to use the hands of the Xianbei people to get rid of the imperial court, and then become self-reliant!

On the other hand, Cao Cao, who is now known as a national thief, can rely on his strength to fight against the Xianbei people, protect Xuchang, and protect the emperor to clean up smoothly.

The four-hundred-year-old Han dynasty is still alive, and most people still have their hearts attached to Liu Han.

Who dares to risk the disobedience of the world and openly join forces with the rebels?

An inexplicable anger flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes, and he didn't even know he was being tricked.

Guo Jia is too vicious, this is the real flattery!

"How can I let Guo Jia fulfill his wish! At worst, I don't want to be this Duke Qin!"

Whether it is a prince, a king, or even the throne, the temptation to Liu Zhang is far from that great.

In troubled times, everything must speak with strength.

In the absence of sufficient military support, if you ascend to a high position, you can only die in the end!

Isn't Yuan Shu the best example?

Before proclaiming himself emperor, Yuan Shu was still the number one vassal in the world.

But only two years after becoming emperor, the forces under his command fell apart, and finally ended in tragic death.

The lesson from the past is still in front of us, how could Liu Zhang make the same mistake?

It is true that he is greedy for the title of duke in his heart, but Liu Zhang can also give it up without no regrets!

"Hey…"

Xun You's face was gloomy, and he sighed helplessly.

"Why, Gongda thinks I'm reluctant to be a duke?"

Liu Zhang felt a little unhappy. Xun You has been with him for the longest time. Don't you even have this little trust?

"I have followed the lord for many years, so naturally I have great trust in the lord, but..."

"Just what?"

Liu Zhang was very puzzled, Xun You gave him the feeling that it was impossible to break the situation!

"My lord, what Junjun Xun means is that the position of the Duke is not just about the lord personally."

Seeing that Xun You was still deep in thought, Liu Ye took the initiative to stand up.

"My lord, have you forgotten the emotions of the generals just now?"

Liu Zhang's heart skipped a beat, as if he understood.

When everyone heard the Duke, their excitement couldn't be restrained immediately.

Liu Zhang didn't understand why the generals were more excited than himself who was knighted.

But now it seems to be somewhat understood.

"Zi Yang, what do you mean... the arrow is on the string and has to be fired?"

Liu Ye nodded heavily, but fortunately he was more optimistic than Xun You, with a wry smile on his face.

"My lord, all the generals followed the lord through life and death, fighting bloody battles, for what?"

"Could it be that you can't see the treacherous officials in power? Is it for the sake of peace in the world? Hehe..."

What is Liu Zhang's reason for fighting?

To pacify the troubled times and save the people.

This is indeed Liu Zhang's goal, but the essence of all this is still the final position.

What about the generals?

They followed Liu Zhang to lick blood with the tip of the knife, and went through life and death. Could it be that they were purely to repay Liu Zhang's kindness?

There must be this reason, but more, it is also to worship generals and seal marquises, seal wives and shade children, and benefit future generations.

Who can refuse the temptation of the founding hero?

Liu Ye's words can be said to have completely awakened Liu Zhang.

The difference between Gong and Hou seems to be only one word, but in fact there is a world of difference between the two.

In troubled times, a prince and a king mean the same thing.

Establishing a principality, whether it is conferring titles or worshiping generals, will become simple and reasonable.

The cohesion of the entire force can be greatly improved.

"My lord, General Juwei, the generals under his command have benefited somewhat, but what about the civil servants who are loyal to the lord?"

"In fact, they are not recognized by the court!"

Liu Ye's words immediately embarrassed Liu Zhang.

Except for Lu Su, the governor of Liangzhou this time, almost none of the county guards under his command was recognized by the court.

Liu Zhang is powerful, and they are the prefects of a county. Once Liu Zhang falls, they will be traitors to the court.

Therefore, the current Yizhou Group forces are somewhat similar to authoritarianism.

Because of the strong military power, let the court let it go.

But once authoritarianism is no longer powerful, the court will immediately deny everything.

"Could it be impossible to break it?"

For so many years, it was Liu Zhang who designed others, why did others design him!

If Guo Jia is allowed to succeed in this way, how can Liu Zhang be reconciled?

He was easily defeated by Guo Jia today, how can he win before the duel in the future?

Just like Xun You, Liu Ye shook his head helplessly.

"My lord, now the generals know that my lord is about to establish a principality, and soon all the officials under Yizhou's command, the family will know."

"In the face of such huge interests, who can bear it?"

"Once the lord forcibly refuses, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil in the power..."

The position of general and marquis that could have been obtained is gone in a blink of an eye. Who can guarantee that there is no negativity at all?

If Liu Zhang refuses the title of duke, will everyone under his command think that Liu Zhang has no big ambitions and no greater ambitions?

"My lord, I am definitely not alarmist!"

"Sometimes just an impulsive decision will set off a huge change in the entire force!"

"hateful!"

Liu Zhang couldn't help cursing angrily.

After knowing everything, Liu Zhang finally understood why Xun You had been preventing him from coming to Qi County.

Guo Jia designed a blatant conspiracy for Yizhou.

There was clearly an open trap ahead, and Liu Zhang jumped into it without hesitation.

What made Liu Zhang most angry was that he couldn't do without jumping, and someone would push him down if he didn't jump!

"Gongda, it's all my fault, it gave Guo Jia an opportunity..."

The more sober Liu Zhang was, the deeper his apology to Xun You.

If the whole army is still stationed at Jieting, I am afraid that Guo Jia will not be given an opportunity.

At that time, even if the Xianbei invaded the Central Plains, the world would not blame Liu Zhang.

After all, Xianbei people have many choices, whether to leave or stay, whether to fight or retreat, it is entirely up to them to decide.

Liu Zhang's apology made Xun You lose his mind for a while, and then he finally showed a smile.

"My lord, it's not your fault."

"Although I don't know the specific reason, my intuition tells me that my lord must have a reason to march."

Liu Zhang closed his eyes lightly, and doubted the once firm decision in his heart.

Perhaps it is right to let the Xianbei people go for the time being.

"Gongda, is it too late for us to withdraw our troops now?"

"As for the generals and the family, I will explain it myself."

There is a saying that it is not too late to mend a dead sheep!

If everything is in time, Liu Zhang is willing to compromise.

Xun You shook his head without hesitation and rejected Liu Zhang's proposal.

"My lord, it's still the same sentence. Since Guo Jia took out the Duke, he must have convinced the Xianbei people."

"Now the enemy is outnumbered, relying on the city can still resist."

"Once the army is withdrawn from Qi County and the army is raided by the Xianbei in the wild, the event will be over!"
