Four hundred and fifty-one Guo Peng's ambition
Jiangdong is very chaotic now, but Guo Peng has no energy to pinch it, otherwise it would be easier to lay the Jiangdong strategy at this time.
Guo Peng felt very sorry for this.
Jingzhou doesn’t consider it anymore. Jiangdong has no unified ruler, but Jingzhou has it, which is only harder to deal with than Jiangdong.
Jiangdong is now a local force fighting with Sun Ce, and the real Yangzhou governor appointed by the court, Liu Yao, had been rushed to Yuzhang County by Sun Ce to survive.
Quite no cards.
The little overlord is still very powerful, but he just doesn't know if he will be assassinated and killed.
Anyway, the Sun regime was founded by the little overlords, and after localization was established by Sun Quan, it seemed difficult to attack, but in Guo Peng's eyes, it was a sieve full of holes.
A mixed form of military and political system that inherited Yuan Shu's four-dimensional appearance.
The little overlord has the ability to attack the world, but does not have the ability to govern. If he does not localize it in time, he will die a few years later, and the Sun regime will probably collapse on its own.
The little bully is not Guo Peng's opponent, Liu Biao and Liu Yao, Tao Qian, and Liu Zhang are not.
Now, Guo Peng needs to turn his attention to the west, Hongnong.
It was just a coincidence. Guo Peng felt that Yuan Shu's head should have not been sent to Hongnong yet. The time was wrong, but Yan Rou's handwritten letter came from Hongnong.
In the letter, Yan Rou briefly told Guo Peng about the achievements he had obtained in Hongnong City.
In short, Jia Xu realized that the general trend in the world was irreversible, so he decided to surrender to Guo Peng, do his job for him, use his power to drain the last trace of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, abdication is impossible. Yan Rou conveyed Guo Peng’s idea to Jia Xu to know.
It is to go further and enfeoff the Duke.
Although the little emperor once announced in excitement that he would be the king of the people who wiped out the rebel Yuan Shu, this was indeed not a feasible decision.
After Liu Bang pacified the rebellion of the princes and kings of Yi surnames who were founded and divided into feudal states, he led his ministers to kill Baima on the edge of the Wei River to swear that he would not be granted the title of king unless he was the Liu surname. This was the case with the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.
So if you are not a royal family in Liu, don’t think about being a king. If you are abducted, the whole world will attack him.
As a result, after the Han Dynasty had been in the four hundred years, after all the kings of different surnames were taken down in the early days, only one Cao Cao became the king of different surnames, and Cao Pi followed him as the King of Wei for less than a year.
The only person under Cao Cao who did this was Wang Mang, but Wang Mang did not grant him a title of king, but a title of Duke, and then became emperor.
In fact, it was an extremely rare move to be granted in the Han Dynasty. If we really count it, it was that Wang Mang and Cao Cao had obtained it. The reason was not that it was difficult to be granted, but that there was no duke in the title system of the Han Dynasty.
There were dukes in the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, but after Shang Yang's reforms, Qin abolished the feudal system of the Zhou royal family and changed it to a twenty-level feudal system based on military merits. The highest level was Chehou. Later, in order to avoid being a taboo on Emperor Wu of Han, it was changed to a marquis.
The three levels of Hou County Hou in Tinghou Township are the titles of the Marquis at the level of the Marquis, and are the highest titles of the Han Dynasty, and the titles are exclusive to the Liu family.
There was no duke in the title system of the Han Dynasty. In order to facilitate usurpation of the throne, Wang Mang found it again from the pre-Qin system and sealed it for himself.
Wang Mang did this with extremely clear political ambitions, but Guo Peng did this with this, but the little emperor himself said that in order to reward Guo Peng to attack Yuan Shu for the court, the court should reward Guo Peng, fulfill the emperor's promise, and be promoted to the title.
When Jia Xu and Yan Rou discussed this matter, what they knew was that Guo Peng surrounded Shouchun City and was about to break into the city, and the false prefab was about to be destroyed.
At this time, the situation was actually clear and there was nothing to say. Jia Xu knew that there was no one to stop Guo Peng, so he made his own decision and expressed his willingness to defect to Guo Peng to Yan Rou, and only hoped that Guo Peng would keep his promise.
Yan Rou was overjoyed.
Then the two discussed whether to be named King Guo Peng, and Yan Rou immediately shook her head.
He said that it was too forced to be the king. It was not yet that time. Although the little emperor said such words, if he really wanted to do this, there would probably be many opponents in the court.
Jia Xu said that the opponents in the court had been controlled by Duan Wei and Zhang Ji with their troops. As long as Guo Peng was willing, Jia Xu could ensure that the resolution was passed smoothly.
Yan Rou still refused.
"In the past, Emperor Gaozu killed a white horse and sweared that he would not be granted a king unless he was the Liu family. Although the emperor had some words first, there were many people in the world who criticized him in this way."
Jia Xu frowned and said, "After that being said, since Emperor Gaozu swore, there was only Wang Mang. Although Wang Mang ascended the throne in the name of a fake emperor, he was indeed the only one who was named Duke. Will this have any impact on the general?"
"Wang Mang has no military merits, and the general is to wipe out rebellion for the country. No one can question the real military merits. At most, he can say a few words. But if such a great military merit is not rewarded, how can he say it? This is a legitimate reward. The Han Dynasty attaches the most importance to military merits, which is completely different."
Yan Rou said, "If you talk about being arrogant, in terms of the general's current status, no matter how you are promoted, some people will say that being arrogant will be arrogant. Such a great contribution is really rewarded. It is indeed no problem to be named a king. Isn't that the case?"
Jia Xu thought Yan Rou’s words made sense.
"So, how should the ban be drawn up? Do you have any ideas on the general?"
Jia Xu raised such a question. Yan Rou felt that this question was very important and worth discussing, so she wrote a letter to send it to Guo Peng to ask Guo Peng for his opinions.
Jia Xu also vented Zhang Ji and Duan Wei at the same time, discussing the matter with them with strange thoughts and asking them about their opinions.
Soon, Guo Peng, who received a letter from Yan Rou, began to consider the ban on the account that Yan Rou asked about.
A title ban is not a trivial matter. This matter concerns the country's name that you have established later. You can't choose it carefully.
Generally speaking, it was either the birthplace, the place of birth, or the location where he was awarded the title. This was basically the case before the Song Dynasty, but as for Guo Peng, his choice was not the only one.
Because he did not talk about founding a country before, the political and military centers moved as needed. At first, they were in Qi State, later they moved to Jibei State, and then to Puyang County, Dongjun.
After the attack on Yuan Shu, Guo Peng's next military strategy centered on the north, and there was no force enough to threaten him in the south.
Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and Liu Yao, the three Han clan relatives, were all very weak, and they were vulnerable to Guo Peng, so Guo Peng did not take them seriously.
Although the little overlord is brave, he is reckless and Jiangdong has not yet been pacified. Where can he have the power to go north to threaten him?
Not to mention Hongnong, self-protection is still a problem, can you still go to war?
Therefore, these major forces have no power to threaten Guo Peng. Guo Peng is already invincible, and even if they join forces, they will not be able to do so.
Because the number of household registrations under their rule was not as high as that under Guo Peng's rule, Guo Peng's war mobilization power exceeded the total of all their staff.
