Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1517: Duke Jin
The Han Dynasty in Yizhou and the Han Dynasty in Jingzhou were arguing with each other in terms of justice, but it was obvious that the Han Dynasty in Jingzhou had the upper hand. After all, Cao Cao represented a more powerful force. Judging from Liu Qi's performance, it was even more powerful.
Liu Qi was not a qualified monarch, and the various performances of Liu Qi after he became emperor were spread throughout the world.
Another important reason is that Cao Cao may have a imperial seal in his hand. Although Cao Cao denied this before, many people believe that it was Cao Cao's army that defeated Shouchun.
There is no reason not to get the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
The jade seal represents destiny, and the party with the jade seal obviously has a greater advantage in this orthodoxy battle. For a time, many talents went to Jingzhou to seek refuge with the imperial court. This scene made Cao Cao overjoyed.
After Jingzhou was stabilized, Cao Cao summoned his advisers in the Taiwei Mansion. Regardless of the royal family in Jingzhou, the generals and advisers in the army still relied on Cao Cao's opinions.
After years of turmoil, the influence of the Han Dynasty among the generals under the princes became smaller and smaller, so that the civil and military generals under the princes only knew about the princes but not the Han Dynasty. This situation was extremely difficult under the rule of the princes.
It is common and the most vivid representative is Lu Bu from Chang'an.
"Everyone, although Jingzhou is stable now, Lu Bu's army is watching in Chang'an, so we should not take it lightly." Cao Cao said, this is what Cao Cao is most worried about. Nanyang County is close to Chang'an, and as long as Chang'an's army leaves Wuguan, they can attack Jingzhou.
The situation in Jingzhou is extremely unfavorable.
"My Lord, there is no need to worry. Although the Marquis of Jin did not expressly support the Holy Lord, he did not speak out against it. Moreover, after the war in Qingzhou, the Marquis of Jin needed time to recuperate. He only needs to send a fierce general to guard Wancheng, and the Marquis of Jin can make the people under his command
It is difficult for a large army to enter the hinterland of Jingzhou," Xun You said.
Cao Cao nodded slightly and said: "Xia Houyuan, I have ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to guard Wancheng and guard against the Chang'an army. Do not slack off."
"Here." Xia Houyuan stepped out and cupped his fists.
"Cao Ren, you lead 10,000 troops to guard Jiangling and guard against the Jiangdong Army." Cao Cao turned his attention to Cao Ren.
After a series of orders were issued, the deployment of Jingzhou's military forces was temporarily stabilized.
After everyone dispersed, Cao Cao kept Xun You and other important counselors behind.
"When I was attacking Jingzhou, I sent an envoy to Chang'an to persuade the Marquis of Jin. I also told the Marquis of Jin that if he did not send troops to attack Jingzhou, he would make Lu Bu the King of Jin after the Holy Emperor succeeded to the throne. I wonder what you think of this?"
Cao Cao asked.
Xun You lowered his head. He knew that Cao Cao's words seemed to be to fulfill his original promise. Isn't it a manifestation of Cao Cao's ambition? Lu Bu is an ambitious man. This matter is no longer a secret in the world. Cao Cao is also the same.
The princes with strong military strength don't have ambitions. If Lu Bu is named King of Jin, it means that the princes will break the white horse oath of the great ancestor and become a king with a different surname. Cao Cao will have a chance.
Kings with different surnames have a fatal temptation for the princes, even Cao Cao is no exception. The decline of the Han Dynasty has allowed the princes to see the opportunity to rise and have greater things. The princes will naturally not give up easily. Who doesn't want to achieve success?
Greater fame and fame, and the benefits obtained after becoming king are obvious, which can make the civil servants and generals under his command more loyal. There are obvious differences between kings and princes.
There is a huge difference between being called a king and being named a prince. Both the princes and the ministers under their rule are clear about this.
"My lord, no, although the Han Dynasty is weak now, if the princes of Jin become queens with different surnames, there will inevitably be more ambitious people among the princes taking the opportunity to become kings, which will be extremely detrimental to the court."
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly and he snorted coldly: "If I couldn't agree to what I did, wouldn't I have offended Lu Bu on this matter?"
"My lord, the elite soldiers and horses under Lu Bu will not argue with my lord on this matter. Although the influence of the Han Dynasty on the princes is getting smaller and smaller, becoming king will still attract criticism from the people of the world. I guess
Lu Bu also understood this. Even if the Han Dynasty granted Lu Bu the title of King of Jin, he would not easily agree." Xun You said.
Seeing this, the other counselors also persuaded him one after another. As members of the aristocratic family, although they supported Cao Cao, they could not bear to see the Han Dynasty fall apart. After becoming king, the Han Dynasty would have no dignity.
There were many shrewd people among the counselors in the field, and they naturally saw what Cao Cao was thinking.
"My lord, you can go to the Supreme Court and confer Lu Bu the title of Duke of Jin. This will highlight Lu Bu's status." Cheng Yu said.
Cao Cao sighed: "In this case, we can only settle for the next best thing."
Just as Xun You thought, when faced with being crowned king, Cao Cao was really moved. Once a person has a certain amount of wealth, he wants to have greater power, especially when the strength in his hands becomes stronger and stronger.
Ambition will also grow as a result.
The next day, at the court, Liu Cong directly agreed to Cao Cao's request. Compared with the current stability of the Han Dynasty, this kind of thing was far worse. Besides, Cao Cao was more in charge of matters in Jingzhou, and Liu Cong had just settled down.
, I still obey Cao Cao on many things.
When Cao Cao proposed moving the capital to Xudu, it aroused opposition from Jingzhou officials. If the Han Dynasty was in Jingzhou, it would be on their territory. Even though Cao Cao was powerful, he still had to worry about the strength of the Jingzhou family, and when he arrived
After Cao Cao came under the rule, it meant that everything had to start from scratch.
However, Cao Cao's attitude on this matter was extremely tough, and his reasons were very good. Jingzhou was close to Jiangdong and Chang'an. If the two sides sent troops to attack Jingzhou, it would definitely affect the safety of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao's strength was revealed at this moment, and he immediately ordered Man Chong to take charge of the construction of the royal palace in Xudu City and prepare to move the capital.
Since Dong Zhuo took control of Chao Gang, the capital of the Han Dynasty has undergone several changes, from Luoyang to Chang'an. The Han emperor died in Chang'an, and after Liu Biao inherited the throne, Xiangyang became the capital of the Han Dynasty. Liu Qi was defeated and fled to Yizhou.
Chengdu became the capital, and now Cao Cao advocated moving the capital to Xudu. The majesty of the Han Dynasty was completely lost in these capital moves.
After the general went to Xudu, it was naturally not as good as places like Chang'an and Luoyang. Xudu belonged to Yuzhou and there were no dangers to defend. If the enemy attacked, he would face a more dangerous situation. However,
If the capital is in Xudu, it is much better than Jingzhou. In this way, Jingzhou can provide a buffer for Xudu's safety.
