Cheng Yu asked: "My lord, should we call a few adults to discuss the next situation?"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "No need, I don't intend to become emperor, nor do I intend to become king!"

With Cao Shuo around, Cao Cao felt that it was not worthwhile for him to think about this matter, so he set up a new emperor to force the emperor to command the princes. He could not command Cao Shuo, nor could he beat Cao Shuo.

I am afraid that Cao Shuo will be the first to proclaim himself emperor, and he will not let him go. I have worked hard all my life, and in the end the world will have to be handed over to Cao Shuo, why bother to look for trouble.

Cheng Yu looked at the calm Cao Cao with surprise on his face. He never thought that his lord would give up fighting Cao Shuo now.

"My lord, the Han dynasty no longer exists, are we taking this opportunity to expand?"

Cao Cao replied: "We can't move to the west and north for the time being, so we can only think of ways to attack the south. The strength of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao should not be underestimated, but Yuan Shu is relatively weak. We can consider attacking Lujiang County!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly asked: "When does the lord plan to enter the army?"

"The division came out of nowhere, and we lacked an opportunity to send troops."

Cheng Yu said: "Yuan Shu has always been very happy with his achievements. If he knew that Emperor Xian was dead, he would definitely do some unreasonable things. Then it would be our best chance to attack Lujiang County."

"Ok!"

Since Cao Shuo had already spread the news in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, there was no reason for him not to spread the news in Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other counties. He just had to wait for Yuan Shu to respond.

"Zhongde, you ordered Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren to build more ships along the Huaihe River in case of emergencies."

"promise!"

After Cheng Yu left, Cao Cao looked in the direction of Luoyang and sighed, "You don't want to be called emperor at this time, at least wait for two years, so that those old guys who are loyal to the Han Dynasty will completely lose their spiritual sustenance."

In the city of Xiangyang, facing Liu Biao's question, Sun Qian replied calmly: "Dong Zhuo abolished the Emperor of Han, called himself the Great Emperor of Martial Arts, and killed His Majesty the Great Han. How could the family members of the surname Liu tolerate him living in the world?"

Liu Biao asked in puzzlement, "Liu Bei plans to attack Dong Zhuo?"

"My lord not only wants to attack Dong Zhuo, but also unites the princes of the world to fight against the rebels."

Cai Mao said with a sneer: "Liu Bei is a man who weaves mats and sells shoes. If my lord hadn't read it because he is also a member of the Han family, he would have been wiped out by Cao Cao long ago. However, even a few counties dare to talk about uniting the princes of the world. ?”

Sun Gan argued: "The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty is the responsibility of everyone in the descendants of the Liu surname. Liu Zhoumu, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, is responsible for the whole state. Isn't it better for my lord to care about the Han Dynasty?"

Just as Liu Biao was about to speak, Kuai Yue stood up and said, "My lord is deeply attached to the Han family, but now His Majesty is dead, and there is no leader in this Han Dynasty. One, my lord is the most suitable candidate to succeed the orthodox, and I will tell the world when the time comes, and we will fight against thieves together."

Sun Qian glanced at Kuai Yue with a sneer, and said, "How is this approach different from Dong Zhuo's?"

When the Han Dynasty was in crisis, they didn't think about how to conquer the rebels, but they even thought about the throne.

Kuai Liang said: "Dong Zhuo's way is to usurp, but my lord is to follow the will of the people in the world, which is the way to save the great man."

Sun Qian asked, "Then why attack Dong Zhuo?"

Cai Mao said, "Wait until my lord becomes orthodox."

"Then what is the succession?"

Sun Gan felt that it was impossible for Liu Biao to send troops. Liu Biao was planning to become the emperor of the country, but he didn't know which princes would listen to him if he did so.

Kuai Yue said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. The succession to the orthodox position is a major event, and the people's expectations will return. You must not act hastily."

Sun Qian said helplessly: "Since Liu Zhoumu doesn't plan to send troops, it would be great to lend us some soldiers and horses, and subsidize some food and grass. After all, we are also for the world of the big man!"

Liu Biao said: "Since Xuande is going to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo, I will subsidize him with food, grass and military equipment."

He, Liu Biao, will never show his soldiers and horses, and it is safest to hold his own soldiers and horses in his own hands.

Cai Mao said: "My lord, there is a famine in the four counties in the south. Our army is short of food and grass. At most, we can provide [-] troops with half a month's food and grass."

Sun Qian's face turned black, and the food and grass for the [-] army for half a month, isn't that about five thousand shi?Is this a beggar?
In the end, Sun Qian only received four thousand shi of coarse grain and returned to Nanyang County.

Liu Biao looked at his subordinates and said, "Are you planning to make me emperor?"

Kuai Liang said: "The only ones who can inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty are Liu Bei, Liu Yan and the lord. If the lord does not proclaim the emperor first, then Liu Yan will definitely take the lead. We should take advantage of Yizhou's receipt Before the news, take the lead in claiming the emperor."

Kuai Liang's words directly ignored Liu Bei. He was just a down-and-out state shepherd who was entrusted in Jingzhou. What qualifications did he have to be called emperor.

Liu Biao asked worriedly, "Will this be inappropriate? How many people will obey our orders when we proclaim ourselves emperor?"

Kuai Yue explained: "The great man needs a monarch now, a monarch who can compete with Dong Zhuo in a separate court. The Lord ascends the throne of God, and he will surely win over some people's hearts. Then there will be a legitimate reason to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo."

Liu Bi looked at the others and asked, "You all have this opinion?"

"Mr. Yidu is right."

Liu Biao was a little excited. To be the emperor, he just thought about it in his heart. He didn't expect that a great opportunity was right in front of him.

"Then you pick a good day!"

"promise!"
