When Liu Bei was about to ascend the throne, Zhuge Liang began to arrange various matters. Naturally, he couldn't hide Hua Yu's detailed work in Jiangdong, so he immediately reported the news to Hua Yu.

Liu Bei wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?
Upon receiving this news, Hua Yu was also extremely surprised.

"Hahaha, this Liu Daer is really interesting."

Hua Yu thought about it for a while, and naturally guessed what Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were thinking, and couldn't help feeling amused.

"This Zhuge Kongming thinks he's smart, hehe, but this time it's not good."

Between supporting a new emperor and proclaiming himself emperor, Hua Yu has basically already made up his mind.

Not only Li Ru persuaded him to advance, but Jia Xu, Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, Xun You, Pang Tong and others also persuaded Hua Yu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

As for Hua Yu himself, naturally he also has this intention.

Since he will become emperor sooner or later, taking advantage of Liu Qi's chance of being killed by Cao Cao is basically a matter of course.

Moreover, under Li Ru's operation, all states except Yanzhou believed that the emperor Liu Qi was killed by Cao Cao.

There are good reasons too.

Since Liu Qi was established by Hua Yu and he was so obedient, there was no need for Hua Yu to kill him.

It's just that, if Hua Yu suddenly proclaims himself emperor, it is inevitable that people will not be suspected that Hua Yu wants to be emperor himself, so he killed the emperor Liu Qi and blamed Cao Cao.

Hua Yu's only worry lies in this.

However, what Hua Yu never expected was that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang made such a brilliant move, but inadvertently helped Hua Yu a lot.

As I said just now, if Hua Yu proclaims himself emperor, Cao Cao will definitely take the opportunity to spread the news again, saying that Hua Yu killed the emperor Liu Qi in order to proclaim himself emperor.

In this way, it will be difficult for Hua Yu to decipher this matter.

However, in front of Hua Yu's absolute strength, this news can't bring him much harm.

But when Liu Bei suddenly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it was completely different.

Liu Bei ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, calling himself Emperor of Han, Hua Yu certainly did not admit it.

Now that Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, it would be inappropriate for Hua Yu to establish another Han emperor.

Therefore, Hua Yu simply stopped establishing a new emperor, and directly established himself as the emperor.

In this way, the matter of Hua Yu's self-reliance on behalf of the Han Dynasty is a matter of course, and no one will link this matter with the murder of Liu Qi.

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord, you don't have to worry about the future anymore."

"Hahaha..." Hua Yu laughed loudly, "Zhuge Kongming has always counted without omissions, but I didn't expect to make a mistake this time, and I helped Gu a lot."

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Kong Ming's wisdom is indeed very good, but his character is flawed, and he misunderstood the lord. That's why he decided on this strategy. I don't want to help the lord once."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hua Yu's mouth: "They did Gu a favor, and Gu also gave them a gift."

"Wang Yue has always been experienced in handling affairs. I believe he will definitely send someone to deliver the gift on the day Liu Bei ascends the throne."

"Hahaha, Gu is really looking forward to it. When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang receive Gu's gift, what kind of expressions will they have?"

Pang Tong and the others couldn't laugh or cry, Hua Yu's move really hurt a little bit.

Hua Yu asked again: "Gong Jin, how are you preparing for the battle of Yanzhou?"

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, according to my lord's order, Yanzhou has been besieged, but not attacked."

"Our army's secret operations have infiltrated into all parts of Yanzhou, and are trying to create momentum to disintegrate the morale of Cao's army."

"In recent days, hundreds of Cao's troops have defected to our army, and more than ten thousand people have left Yanzhou and entered Xuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou and other places."

"However, Cao Cao has already issued an order not to let any common people leave the city with their families, and the control of the army has become stricter. It is estimated that no soldiers and civilians will leave Yanzhou in the future."

Hua Yu smiled lightly: "It's okay, continue to fight Cao Jun like this."

"The so-called attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top."

"The overall situation in the world is over, Cao Cao is just resisting in the corner, and everyone in Yanzhou understands it."

"The solitary plan of alienation has also taken effect. Cao Cao has become suspicious of non-Cao and non-Xiahou's civil and military forces, or alienated them, or took away military power."

"Fortunately, Cao Cao has a lot of generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would not be able to control the situation in Yanzhou very well."

"Gongjin, remember one thing, the battle of Yanzhou can be won without siege, and the casualties should be minimized."

"The land of Yanzhou has been blocked by the isolated economy, and the finances will inevitably be difficult to sustain for a long time."

"Once there is a disaster in Yanzhou, Cao Cao's finances will collapse."

"At that time, Cao Cao can only come out of the city and switch from defense to offense. That's when our army will take all of Yanzhou."

"I have a lot of lonely time, and I can play slowly with Cao Mengde."

"However, Cao Mengde can't afford it, and he will collapse sooner or later."

Economic warfare is not uncommon in later generations.

However, in the era of the end of the Han Dynasty, it was a new type of warfare that was unheard of, which made Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others very rare.

Once Cao Cao had to come out of the city and switch from defense to offense, the casualties of the Qin army could basically be halved.

Even, with the cooperation of Hua Yu's offensive and defensive skills, as well as the three skills of rushing military skills, field battles will be Cao Jun's nightmare.

At that time, Hua Yu led [-] cavalry and countless fierce generals, all of which had doubled their combat effectiveness. How could Cao Jun stop it.

Therefore, Hua Yu was waiting, waiting for changes in Yanzhou, waiting for Cao Cao to come out of Yanzhou.

Similarly, for Jiangdong, Hua Yu also adopted the means of economic blockade.

Liu Bei's navy suffered a serious setback, and the control of the coastline and the Yangtze River was in the hands of the Qin army.

The connection between Jingzhou and Jiangdong was also cut off by Hua Yu.

At the same time, in the name of the emperor, Hua Yu put pressure on the scholars in Jiaozhou and cut off the connection between Jiaozhou and Jiangdong.

In this way, the land of Jiangdong is similar to the situation in Yanzhou, becoming an independent kingdom, passively closed to the outside world.

At the same time, Hua Yu strictly investigated the people who came out of Yanzhou and Jiangdong, but if he made careful efforts, he was immediately taken down and executed on the spot.

In this way, Hua Yu cut off the transmission of information from Jiangdong and Yanzhou to the outside world.

This is the most headache for Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

In other words, Hua Yu's detailed work can easily send the news of Yanzhou and Jiangdong to Hua Yu.

But Cao Cao and Liu Bei's secret work couldn't go out at all, or, if they went out, it was basically impossible to go back to Yanzhou or Jiangdong.

The economic blockade, coupled with the news blockade, made Cao Cao and Liu Bei really miserable.

Of course, Hua Yu's divorce plan was not only used on Cao Cao, but also Liu Bei.

There are many gentry in Jiangdong, and most of them are not in harmony with Liu Bei. The effect of the divorce plan is definitely much better than that of Cao Cao.

The news of Liu Bei's accession to the throne, Hua Yu deliberately sent someone to Yanzhou.
