Chapter 685: The establishment of Wei Kingdom in the two countries competing for power (second update)

"Is this the truth of the Chu army?"

In Xu Ducheng, in the prime minister's study, Cao Cao held Xiahou Dun's military newspaper again, couldn't help but tremble with his hands and murmured to himself.

When Xiahou Dun arrived in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Cao Cao was still very calm. Because there was Xun You and Cheng Yu in the east, he believed that even if Yangzhou was taken away, the two of them would find a way to take it back.

He has been in Yangzhou for several years, but Kou Feng has only occupied one month and has not yet established a foothold. He is very cheap to play at home.

But after reading the current military newspaper, Cao Cao almost no longer had delusions. He had a 200,000 army. Even if he ran the world, he would probably have to lose both sides.

What's more, there are only more than 100,000 troops in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, too few, too few.

Yangzhou is probably hopeless in this life.

Thinking that the situation in the world would affect his layout as the power of Jing Chu Koufeng expanded, and the situation would be so dangerous.

Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other hinterlands in the Central Plains were threatened by the enemy's military conferred troops.

Cao Cao felt that the cold light was on his back, and the coldness was not cold and the millet was gone.

Even if he is strong and like Cao Cao for a lifetime, he does not want such a person to be attacked by his great enemy.

"The only way to do this is to protect Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou and manage Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Qingzhou. With Yanzhou

Waiting for the three states to be the front line, with Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Qingzhou as the rear. This is the perfect solution." After a long time, Cao Cao took a breath and his eyes gradually recovered.

No matter how good it is, as the capital, but it is close to the front line, it will not work. People's hearts will slowly float with Kou Feng's strength.

Now we can only retreat to Hebei.

He first destroyed Gongsun Kang, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Wuhuan and other forces, and occupied Hebei, which was enough to establish a foundation for several generations.

Hebei has a unique geographical location. It is both a peaceful area and is very rich and abundant. Yuan Shao also first occupied Hebei and then advanced into the Central Plains.

From this, you can get a glimpse of Hebei's advantages.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was not talented, had a good geographical advantage, and had countless elites to help him, but he was still defeated, losing to his own stupidity.

"Retreat the army." After Cao Cao made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He immediately stood up and pulled out a blank bamboo slip and started writing.

They ordered Xiahou Dun and Le to retreat respectively. After the retreat, the two of them used Xiahou Dun and Xun You as a group to guard Xuzhou and control Xuzhou's military.

Using Le Jin and Cheng Yu as a combination, we should control the military in Yanzhou.

He resisted Jingchu with the strength of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and operated Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou and other rear areas, establishing several generations of foundations.

After giving the order, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

Before this was decided, my heart was as heavy as a mountain. But once I made a decision, the pressure was gone, just move towards my goal.

Now, Kou Feng has occupied Jingchu and Yangzhou. His power has expanded to its limit. He should also slow down his battle with me. He will follow the trend and annex the weak, just like the prefect of Jiaozhou Shixie. Cangwu Prefect Wu Ju, Yizhou Liu Zhang, etc.

Intensify the merger of weak people and strengthen oneself. Lay the foundation for the two countries to compete for power in the future.

I have to step up too.

After he ordered people to send the documents out, Cao Cao sat alone with a very solemn expression.

Kou Feng wanted to annex the weak, and Zhuang Dajun was the same, he wanted to attack Liaodong, grassland, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou.

Cao Cao knew that others could solve them one by one. But only Kou Feng was the greatest enemy in the world.

It will be inevitable that the two countries will compete for power.

After sitting alone in the study for a while, Cao Cao pondered for a moment. He ordered the guards and asked Chen Qun and Jia Xu to come.

Today's strategy has been decided. Then it's time to implement it. Chen Qun and Jia Xu are their confidants, and Cao Cao has to discuss some things with them.

Originally, Cao Cao also planned to find Xun Yu. However, Xun Yu is a bit old-fashioned person and is considered a person who is more attached to the Han Dynasty. What he wants to do next is probably a disgust from Xun Yu.

So I gave up.

"Prime Minister." Jia Xu and Chen Qun were both noble officials in Qing Dynasty and their official residences were very close, so they came soon. They almost arrived. After entering the door together, they paid homage to Cao Cao.

"Two gentlemen are exempted from gifts." Cao Cao said with a smile.

Jia Xu and Chen Qun were not pretentious when they heard this. After praying for a while, they sat on both sides of Cao Cao.

The study room is very spacious and more than enough for three people to sit down.

"This is the military newspaper of Xiahou Dun in front of you, so you can take a look." There was no attendant in the room, and Cao Cao handed over the bamboo slips and said.

Chen Qun and Jia Xu looked at each other, Chen Qun got up, took the bamboo slips, and after seeing them, they handed them over to Jia Xu.

After Jia Xu finished watching, the two of them were extremely solemn.

"What can you do if the Prime Minister manages the world, but the only enemy is the leader of the great power?" Chen Qun sighed.

"This person cannot be eliminated quickly." Jia Xu also shook his head and said.

"I summoned two gentlemen here for this reason. What do you think if I was at this time, ascend to the position of Duke of Wei, establish the State of Wei, and set the capital in Yecheng?" Cao Cao asked.

Wei State.

Cao Cao's rear management did not move the emperor's capital to Yecheng, but wanted to establish his own kingdom. Wei State was to be built in Hebei.

As for the resettlement of Emperor Liu Xie, let’s continue to stay in Xudu.

As for many years today, Emperor Liu Xie's role has become very small and is already dispensable.

"In recent years, most of the prime ministers were defeated by Kou Feng, but the achievements of pacifying the north in the early years still existed. Now they are not kings, so what's wrong?" Jia Xu asked back.

Jia Xu is one of the few wise men in the world. His words can be enough to set the stage in Cao Cao's heart. Seeing that Jia Xu did not object, Cao Cao nodded with relief.

"It's enough to make a contribution, but I'm afraid the aristocratic families will not accept it." Chen Qunze said a little worriedly.

"If you don't agree, let them not accept it. Anyway, the construction of the Wei Kingdom is established." Cao Cao said without caring.

Cao Cao valued poor families and had many conflicts with the gentry. However, the gentry was resentful, but he had to submit to Cao Cao, and he had already gained status and was rich.

This is almost completely different from Sun Quan's reliance on the aristocratic family as the foundation of stability.

Cao Cao had the domineering spirit, courage, and environment of the gentry.

Chen Qun hesitated a little, but finally nodded and nodded.

At present, Cao Cao is the only one in charge of the world. Jia Xu and Chen Qun are just staff members. Since Prime Minister Cao Cao has decided, this matter is nailed to the iron plate.

The next morning, there was a court meeting.

It was just dawn, but all the civil and military officials led by Prime Minister Cao Cao had gathered outside the palace. On this day, Cao Cao's momentum seemed to be particularly strong.

His eyes are sharp and his shining eyes are very majestic.

Anyone he saw seemed submissive.

Something must have happened today. Many people couldn't help but guess.

The State of Wei was established. I will be the Yuanxun of Wei.

Although Chen Qun opposed Cao Cao's ascending to the throne yesterday, he was not unsupporting Cao Cao, but he was just worried. He was still quite happy for Cao Cao's ascending to the throne.

After all, if he is a minister of Wei, he will be the founding father of the country. His name will be left in history.

Jia Xu's expression was a little calm. He had experienced countless ups and downs in his life, and was not very excited about this so-called founding father.

Just as everyone speculated, a guard inside opened the palace gate and welcomed all officials into it.

Under Cao Cao's majesty, all the officials did not dare to make any guesses and entered the palace one by one and went straight into the hall.

After entering the main hall, Cao Cao was naturally listed in the front seat.

After the officials sat down one after another, the emperor Liu Xie walked out in a crown robe amid the eunuchs' calls.

Liu Xie was the emperor, but he was just a puppet. Although he occasionally had a pleasant look, such as when Kou Feng defeated Cao Cao, he was mostly in a state of oppression. The same was true at this moment, basically without expression on it.

"Do you guys have any memorandum to report?" Liu Xie asked after sitting down.

All the officials turned their eyes to Cao Cao in front of him.

"Report to Your Majesty, I would like to ask Prime Minister Cao to conquer the disaster." Chen Qun came out of the line to the center of the hall and knelt down and bowed.

"Since the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the world was in chaos and all the princes had a different intention. At that time, the emperor ordered that the emperor would not leave the capital. Only Prime Minister Cao led the public to welcome the emperor and assisted the emperor to quell the chaos. Now the north is in peace. This is the prime minister's merit. I ask the emperor to follow the prime minister's previous and subsequent achievements and should be granted the Duke to Wei." Although Chen Qun kept saying a word, he was very threatened.

Even Wei’s title has been decided by himself. What’s not a threat?

Emperor Liu Xie had no expression on his face, but his veins suddenly burst. Wei, Wei, even the name of Han has begun to replace it?

As the emperor, Cao Cao's move was tantamount to forcing his family and country to seize his family and country.

Of course he felt angry, but so what about anger? Liu Xie was depressed in his heart, and sooner or later there would be such a day.

Yes, since Liu Xie felt Cao Cao's threat, he knew that such a day would be a matter of time sooner or later.

Liu Xie first raised his head and looked at the nominal Han ministers in the hall. However, no one dared to stand up and protect his left and right.

"Mr. Chen." But at this time, Xun Yu was about to speak. However, he was grabbed by Jia Xu beside him. His eyes were sharp, full of meanings that Xun Yu would not say much.

Xun Yu opened his mouth, but finally didn't say it.

Cao Cao was right, Xun Yu was indeed attached to the Han Dynasty. However, he was from a large family and had many concerns, so he really could not be an isolated minister.

Xun Yu lowered his head guiltily.

Originally, Liu Xie was secretly happy when he saw Xun Yu speak. However, when Xun Yu suddenly lowered his head, he even more desperate.

I couldn't help but have the urge to give up.

"The prime minister's merit lies in the country. It is worthy of being enthroned by Wei." Liu Xie said a rudely, and then ordered: "I enthroned Prime Minister Cao Cao to Duke Wei, and his 30,000 households were appointed as the capital in Ye. Since he was the leader of the Han princes." After saying that, Liu Xie left without saying a word.

However, the ministers no longer managed Liu Xie.

Cao Cao conferred Wei and established Wei State. Such a major event had already made the ministers excited.

They all have long forgotten to be Han ministers, but Wei ministers are proud of them.

In the summer of the 15th year of Jian'an, the emperor issued an edict to Cao Cao as Duke of Wei, with a fief of 30,000 households, and established his capital in Ye.

One month later, Cao Cao established the Wei Kingdom in Yecheng, set up all officials, and awarded the titles of the Wei Kingdom such as Xiahou Yuan and others.
