The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 481
After the news of Cao Pi usurping the throne and proclaiming himself emperor spread, the world was shocked. Unexpectedly, the great man who had lived 29 emperors and enjoyed the country for 400 years would perish.

But the world is not unified. The northern states and counties have been under the rule of the Cao family for a long time, and they basically support Cao Pi's proclaiming the emperor, because now the major families and civil and military officials in the north have benefited from the Cao family, and they are basically Cao's. diehard.Of course, there are still some people who hate Cao Cao and harbor the Han Dynasty, but there are not many of them, and they dare not stand up to oppose or resist.

But the south is Zhang Wu's world. This great prince who always regarded himself as a Hanchen and the overlord of the south has actually been waiting for this day.Because of Zhang Wu's bad background, he needed to use the banner of the Han court to develop his strength and seize power during his rise.Moreover, in order to fight against the powerful Cao Cao, Zhang Wu, who was still relatively weak at the beginning, needed to establish a united front and unite all forces that could be united, including the Liu Bei Group, the largest pro-Han and anti-Cao group.

The Liu Bei Group played an important role in the further rise of Zhang Wu. It not only added many civil and military talents to him, but also brought him a righteous reputation. He can justifiably fight against Cao Cao who is under the banner of the Son of Heaven, and can justifiably conquer Jiangdong Sun Quan and Han clan clan Liu Zhang.

Therefore, although Zhang Wu has firmly occupied the four states in the south of the Yangtze River, half of the world, and hundreds of thousands of troops, in order to stabilize the situation, he still dare not become king on his own, because he still has the great enemy of the Cao Group, and he also Without an overwhelming advantage, I am afraid that a little accident will change the current situation.

But Zhang Wu is not in a hurry. As a time traveler, he is not so eager to become a prince and emperor. Anyway, his current power is actually no different from that of an emperor, so why bother with a title.What's more, Zhang Wu knew that someone would help him solve this problem. As soon as Cao Cao died, Cao Pi couldn't help it soon after he inherited the title of King Wei.

The news of Cao Pi's self-establishment as the emperor of Wei soon spread to Xiangyang, and there were rumors that Emperor Han had been killed.Zhang Wu also couldn't show a very happy look. As a big man, Chu Hou had to be sad when the emperor took away the throne and might be killed.

In terms of acting, Zhang Wu, who has chased many dramas in his previous life, can be called the actor in this era. He is angry when he should be angry, crying when he should cry, and dizzy when he should be dizzy, without any embarrassment.

Civil and military officials under Zhang Wu's command are still officials of the big man in name, so they all resented and cried with Zhang Wu, but most of them were acting because they had no relationship with the emperor, and everything they got now was not given by the emperor. of.

But some people are really crying and sad, such as Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Liu Xie have true feelings. Liu Xie recognized Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle at the beginning, but Liu Bei was grateful all his life, and Liu Xie always hoped that Liu Huangshu would rescue him.

But Liu Bei's life was very rough, his career development was extremely unsatisfactory, and he was bankrupted by Cao Cao many times. Let alone rescue the emperor, he almost had nowhere to hang out.

Later, Liu Bei found that his hope was slim. In order to give an explanation to the old guys who had followed him for many years, he willingly retired to the second line and pinned his hopes on his son-in-law Zhang Wu.

After so many years of development, Zhang Wu has unified the south of the Yangtze River, and began to prepare for the Northern Expedition to completely defeat the Cao Group. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi dared to risk the disgrace of the world, abolished the emperor and made himself emperor, and there were rumors that the emperor had been killed died.

There used to be many people who controlled the government and oppressed the emperor, but none of them dared to usurp the throne. Unexpectedly, one of them finally dared to do so this time.

Liu Bei was really sad, even if it wasn't for Liu Xie, it was for the great man. After all, he was also a member of the Han family, and his surname was Liu, and he was a descendant of Liu Bang, the great ancestor who founded the great man.Therefore, Liu Bei cried bitterly all day long, became sick from worry, and was bedridden.

Now the big man is dead, there is no more. Although some spies have confirmed that Liu Xie is not dead, he has already given up his throne. Even if he was forced, it is in line with the process. Liu Xie personally ended the big man.

Everyone's nominal allegiance is gone, what should we do in the future?Is it to be loyal to Cao Pi who obtained the throne through legal procedures?If you are not loyal to Cao Pi, what name will you use to fight against him in the future?
The emperor of your big man has already handed over the throne to others, how will you self-proclaimed Hanchens deal with themselves?
So Pang Tong united Lu Su, Xu Jing, Qiao Zhou and others to persuade Zhang Wu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor to fight against Cao Pi.

But in this era, it is not possible to become an emperor with strength. You have to have an explanation, a past title that can be said.For example, Cao Pi's throne was abdicated by Liu Xie, and Cao Pi declined many times, but Liu Xie insisted on abdicating the throne to Cao Pi, so Cao Pi reluctantly accepted it.

At the beginning, Yuan Shu's power and territory were not small, and he still had the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hands, so he came up with the prophecy that "the one who replaced the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao", and brazenly proclaimed himself emperor. After being beaten up, he vomited blood and died.

Liu Bei was able to claim the title of emperor based on the land of Yizhou, because he was a clan member of the Han family, an uncle recognized by the emperor himself, and a descendant of the Liu family, which was acceptable in terms of blood and legal principles.

Now although Zhang Wu has the strength to claim the title of emperor, but his name is not right, and it is not very nice to say it. Zhang Wu still has to show some face sometimes.

So Zhang Wu unequivocally refused, saying: "The traitor Cao Pi usurped the throne by usurping the country and making the emperor dusty. We are greatly favored by the emperor. We should attack Cao Pi and revive the Han Dynasty. How can we do such an unjust thing?"

Qiao Zhou said: "At that time, Gaozu was only a pavilion chief on Sishang, and now it has been [-] years. He has exhausted his strength and is irreparable. Moreover, Emperor Han couldn't insist on integrity, and he handed over the world to others with his own hands. It was he who abandoned the world first. Cao Cao The family is cruel and unkind, Cao Pi has no merits and steals the world, and the people are about to fall into dire straits. The lord Wencheng Wude, the name of benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world. Today's enthronement and proclaiming the emperor is an act that conforms to the hearts of the people. What is an unrighteous thing? ?”

Pang Tong brought Qiao Zhou here to increase his persuasiveness, because Qiao Zhou is no ordinary literati and scholar. He is not only a historian appointed by Zhang Wu, but also a magician who is proficient in astronomy and astrology. What he said can be said in terms of destiny. is very authoritative.

Zhang Wu definitely cannot proclaim himself emperor at this time, not because he is hypocritical, but because the time is really not yet ripe, proclaiming emperor at this time will leave a lot of troubles, and he is not in a hurry.

"I am a commoner, and thanks to the kindness of the emperor, I was granted the title of Marquis of Chu, and I am in the position of a general. When the emperor is in trouble, I should try my best to defeat Cao Pi and make the emperor regain the throne. How can I have any inappropriate thoughts?" !"

At this time, Qiao Zhou began to express a more professional point of view that ordinary people could not understand but felt very reasonable: "My subordinates have been watching the sky at night recently. This spring, Taibai violated the star in the bullfight, and the crape myrtle did not appear. In the summer, it will be retrograde. The meeting of Taibai at Tianguan and the intersection of gold and fire is a sign of changing dynasties. It is also seen that the stars gather in Jingchu, and their big starlight is like a bright moon, which is the image of an emperor. There are auspicious winds and auspicious clouds nearby; there is yellow air in the northwest corner of Xiangyang Tens of feet high, soaring into the sky; the emperor's star can be seen in the division of the wings and the Zhen, shining like the moon. This corresponds to the lord's immediate throne, so why doubt it?"
