Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1757: Prime Minister Cao

However, this system encountered huge challenges after Lu Bu and Sun Ce became kings one after another. At that time, Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shao, and his prestige was unmatched. His troops were strong. The princes had to make friends with Lu Bu, and Sun Ce occupied the dangerous place in Jiangdong.

The land has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in its hands. If the two of them unite together, they will be enough to fight against the crusade.

Even though the ministers who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty had many dissatisfaction with Lu Bu and Sun Ce, they could not influence them.

"My lord is wise." Xun Yu cupped his hands and said.

After everyone left, Cao Cao's mood was a little complicated. At first, he wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty through his own efforts, become a minister of the great rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, and leave his name in history. However, as time went by, he found that

His own strength was no longer enough to change all this, and the decline of the Han Dynasty and Liu Biao's behavior in Jingzhou gradually pushed Cao Cao onto the opposite path.

Especially when the strength in his hands grew, Cao Cao had more ideas. Cao Cao believed that the same was true for other princes, such as Yuan Shu. After the Fourth and Three Dukes, after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu's power was extremely huge, and his subordinates were even more powerful.

With a strong general like Sun Jian, he embarked on the road of becoming emperor. In the final analysis, it was ambition.

Among the princes, Lu Bu showed the most obvious ambition. It can be seen from the time when he swept across Liangzhou. At this time, the soldiers and people in Liangzhou probably only knew the reputation of the King of Jin, but not the big man. The same thing was put into Cao Cao's hands.

He will also choose this way when it comes to his body.

Lu Bu's goal is obviously the world. He is strong enough to conquer the world, and he has Sun Quan from Jiangdong as an ally. After the two are combined, even if the forces of him and Liu Bei are combined, it will be difficult to pose a threat to Lu Bu.

"Send the order for Cheng Yu and Man Chong to come." Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu, who had just returned to the mansion, did not dare to neglect after receiving Cao Cao's order. He knew that Cao Cao's mood would be a little low after today's events. Cheng Yu felt a little regretful that Cao Cao could not become king and compromised with the forces loyal to the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao

His strength is enough to become the king.

After Cheng Yu met Man Chong outside the Hou Mansion, he was slightly startled. Now Man Chong was Xu Duling, and he was a person whom Cao Cao valued. At this time, letting Man Chong enter the Hou Mansion would give Cheng Yu a sense of

Bad premonition.

Cao Cao turned his back to the two of them and said: "Zhongde, there are many people in the aristocratic families in the city who secretly support Liu Bei. This matter must be investigated strictly, and Boning, as Xu Duling, must fulfill his responsibilities."

Seeing that Cao Cao had nothing to say, the two of them bowed and left.

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Yu understood Cao Cao's intentions. Today, Xun Yu openly opposed him. Obviously, there were many forces secretly supporting Xun Yu. And after the existence of these people challenged Cao Cao's authority, how could Cao Cao do this?

Give up so easily.

"Lord Mandarin, I am in charge of Xudu's information. If Lord Mandarin needs it, just say so." Cheng Yu said.

Man Chong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Cheng."

Man Chong is also a thoughtful person. Cao Cao summoned him and Cheng Yu together, secretly wanting the two of them to work together to do this. Although Man Chong didn't know what happened, Cheng Yu knew that he needed to

Cheng Yu’s reminder is enough.

The next day, Xudu was shocked. The Li family, the Yan family, and the Yu family in the city were ordered by Xudu to send Man Chong to prison for having an affair with Liu Bei. They were tortured severely. The three families could not bear the torture and all confessed.

Xun Yu knew that this was Cao Cao expressing his dissatisfaction, and Man Chong was famous for his harshness when he governed Xudu. It was inevitable that there would be people who supported Liu Bei among the aristocratic families in Jingzhou. At this critical moment, Cao Cao's

The sudden attack made the atmosphere in Xudu tense. Cao Cao was proclaimed king. There were many discussions among officials in private. Judging from the current situation, Cao Cao was very likely to be proclaimed king.

Those who support Cao Cao naturally hope that Cao Cao can go further, so that their status can be greatly improved. As for the man in the palace, he was automatically ignored by many officials, both in terms of means and strength, Liu

Compared with Cao Cao, Cong is far behind.

In these troubled times, the strength of your hands is the most important factor that affects your status.

There must be a certain reason why Cao Cao did not become king. Mainly because of a thoughtful person, you can figure it out after a little thought.

In Xun Yu's opinion, the disaster that befell Xu Du's family had a great deal to do with Cao Cao. Just after discussing the matter of becoming king with Cao Cao, there was a family in Xu Du who had colluded with Liu Bei.

At this time, among the princes, the safest one is Liu Bei, but the weakest one is also Liu Bei. Is it necessary for the aristocratic family to associate with a weak person? Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. For a time, everyone in the aristocratic city will naturally

Danger.

Some aristocratic families who secretly opposed Cao Cao realized the horror of Cao Cao. The three eradicated families were secretly opposed to Cao Cao becoming king. They did not want their families to be destroyed by Cao Cao's power.

When the safety of the Han Dynasty is compared with the safety of the family, the aristocratic family will still make a wise choice. They do not want to perish before the Han Dynasty, and their family still needs them to revitalize. Under such a situation, some people who secretly oppose Cao Cao

The aristocratic family has become much more peaceful.

Three days later, in the court, Man Chong said: "The Marquis of Shanyang has fought for the Han Dynasty in the east and west for many years. He has made great military exploits and rescued the Holy Emperor from Jingzhou from the enemy. How can such merits be rewarded if they are not rewarded?

Conquer the public."

When the officials of the imperial court heard this, their hearts tightened, knowing that this was the beginning of a new round of fighting between Cao Cao and the officials who secretly opposed him. Indeed, after entering Xudu, Cao Cao did not receive many rewards. At this time, Xudu was stable.

, it is reasonable for Cao Cao to be rewarded. Cao Cao is now the Marquis of Shanyang and the Mu of Yanzhou. This kind of official position will definitely be very important when the Han Dynasty is stable.

However, in terms of status, Cao Cao was inferior to the other three princes. For example, Lu Bu was the general and the king of Jin, and he was more than a head above Cao Cao.

After Liu Cong entered Xudu, he felt a lot more at ease, but he had never seen such a situation before, so he could only turn his attention to the Cai family not far away.

Cai said: "The Marquis of Shanyang is loyal and loyal, which can be represented by the sun and the moon, so he should be rewarded."

"Now that Your Majesty is young, I propose that Shanyang Marquis be promoted to Prime Minister, the head of all officials." Man Chong said.

The officials in the court heard this and talked a lot. The official position of prime minister has been abandoned. However, the status of the prime minister is very high, enough to compete with Lu Bu's generals. Moreover, the prime minister is the first person under the emperor, such as the money of the imperial court now.

In this situation, Cao Cao has absolute power.
