"Huh? Cao Cao became king?"

As the news of proclaiming the king spread widely, it naturally spread all over the country within ten days.

After Zhao Tongcai and his personal guards inspected the defense lines adjacent to Wudu and the Cao family, they returned to the county to debate. On the case table were placed the false and true facts detected by the sentry.

Although he uttered some words of surprise, his face remained calm and composed.

Obviously, for him, a time-traveler, it was no surprise that Cao Cao proclaimed himself king and established a kingdom.

Cao Cao was not Zhuge Liang. He controlled the supreme power, and he could still keep his original intention in mind and devote himself to the Han Dynasty.

"You can send the news back to Chengdu!"

After thinking briefly, Zhao Tong calmly ordered the spies standing in the hall and gave instructions.

"Here!"

After receiving the order, without any hesitation, everyone accepted the instructions and left quickly.

After arranging everything, Zhao Tong just sat down on the main seat as if he was relaxed. At this moment, he didn't care where he sat. After many days of patrolling various defense lines, he was already a little exhausted physically and mentally.

It seemed that he had closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then a trace of lightness appeared on his face, and he murmured in a low voice, "Chengdu is located in a remote place and is blocked by many mountains and mountains."

"I guess the kings haven't received the news that Cao Cao has become king at this moment, right?"

After saying that, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, bringing up a playful smile and said: "But this is interesting!"

"The ancestral training of the Han Dynasty began with the oath of Liu Bang's White Horse Alliance, and it was stipulated that whoever is not named Liu and claims to be king will be attacked by the whole world. Even if Cao Cao forced the emperor to issue an edict, he would succeed to the throne in accordance with the edict and follow the procedures."

"But this does not absolve him of his contempt for the prestige of the Han Dynasty."

Just kidding, do you still remember the story of the last proclaimed duke who usurped the Han Dynasty and established his own country?

Wang Mang was awarded the title of "Anhan Gong" but in the end he usurped the Han Dynasty. Isn't this an irony?

At that time, if Liu Xiu, the son of No Plane, had stood up and rebuilt the order of the Han Dynasty by relying on the powerful families who had been squeezed out by the new dynasty, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty would have disappeared by that time!

"Isn't the current situation similar to that of the new dynasty?"

There are also "Han thieves" who control the supreme power of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court.

Now they have shown their ambition to achieve independence from the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao even did an even better job than Wang Mang.

First, he was called a Duke, and achieved the highest honor among the courtiers of "do not rush into the court, praise and worship without fame, and go to the palace with swords and shoes" to test the emperor Liu Xie's bottom line.

As a result of the Gonggong Meeting, the factions headed by Xun Yu and claiming to be "Hanchen" were eliminated.

Becoming king now is just a natural step forward!

Liu Xie had no chance to resist except compromise.

Zhao Tong sat quietly on the mat, thinking deeply about this. He was wondering whether the situation in the world would change because of this?

"There will always be people in later generations who will praise Ji Han as a separatist regime whose legitimacy and legitimacy cannot be compared at all."

However, Zhao Tong has always had a scornful view of this.

The separatist regime is true, but Liu Bei's ancestors and Liu Xiu's ancestors are from the same lineage, and they are both descendants of Emperor Xiaojing.

How similar are the environments the two of them live in?

There is not much difference in the legitimacy of the regime.

The reason why later generations recognized the Eastern Han Dynasty established by Liu Xiu and did not recognize the Shu Han Dynasty as orthodox was simply because one unified the world, while the latter did not.

In addition, the Cao family controlled the emperor and had legal procedures for abdication.

"Is the next situation getting more and more interesting?"

"Also in the original history, Cao Cao was the first to become king, but in this life, he was overtaken by the king. Could it be that he was stimulated and unwilling to submit to the inferior position?"

Zhao Tong was thinking a lot, and his heart couldn't help but become more and more passionate, and he couldn't help but gear up.

He could feel that a war was inevitable!

After all, our side has always been holding high the banner of "restoring the Han Dynasty". Now that Cao is openly provoking, disputes will naturally break out.

After thinking about it, it seemed that he was too physically and mentally exhausted from patrolling various defense lines in recent days, so he actually slumped down on the mat, leaning on the table and squinting.

After about a while, a woman with her hair hanging on both sides of her shoulders, wearing a snow-white Chinese dress and holding a blanket, gently walked out of the backyard.

Every move and every move highlights the perfect figure.

The whole body is full of fragrance, which makes people feel a little confused!

Walking to Zhao Tong's side, she gently covered her body with the blanket, and then her rippling eyes seemed to be filled with water drops, showing a look of concern.

Needless to say, she is naturally Zhao Tong's unmarried fiancée.

…

The matter of proclaiming the king spread all over the country, and public opinion became more and more intense!

However, Chengdu, limited by the barrier of Guanshan, finally received this message after Cao's royal ceremony lasted for more than a month.

chengdu city,

Two waves of messengers came one after another.

The first to arrive were the spies who were ordered by Zhao Tong, the governor of the second county, to report the news.

The other wave came along the Xiangfan front line under orders from Guan Yu to ask for instructions on the next battle plan.

Between the palace and side halls.

When the two waves of messengers each truthfully reported the information they had learned.

At this moment, he was wearing ordinary clothes and looked like an old man who was over 70 years old. He was sitting at his desk and reviewing important official documents sent by military advisor Zhuge Liang.

The words fell one after another,

The pen in Liu Bei's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. In an instant, waves of uproar arose in his heart, and his breath became unstable.

Seeing his own Hanzhong King's face suddenly became serious,

No one in the hall dared to breathe at this moment.

Holding my breath tightly, the side hall suddenly became audibly quiet, and the sound of "Shasha" writing was faintly audible.

"Snapped!"

The moment Liu Bei put down the pen in his hand, the emotions raging in his chest were completely unable to calm down. Chapters were laid out on the table in front of him, and all the documents and other items placed above were scattered on the floor.

And this palm seemed to use all the strength of the body.

The guards and messengers in the palace could not help but feel the shock in their hearts.

The guards with swords hanging on their waists on both sides raised their heads and paused to look at the king, feeling a little horrified.

They have followed their master for so long, and this is the first time they have seen him so angry, and his face seems to be distorted by anger.

"Thief Cao!"

"Is there anyone who can bully me, a big man?"

As if he had been suppressing it for a long time, Liu Bei couldn't help but shouted angrily.

The roar also seemed to resound inside and outside the side hall.

It seemed that he had been venting for a long time, and his upper mind gradually came to his senses, and he gradually regained his composure.

Immediately, he ordered in a loud voice, "You will quickly send military advisors, Xiao Zhi, Gong Heng and others to come to the palace, and say that I have something important to discuss with you."

After regaining his calm expression, Liu Bei's face softened again, and he ordered in the same kind tone as before.

After hearing this, all the guards raised their hands and said, "Here!"

After the king's order was passed, they quickly handed over and left.

Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Huang Quan, Pang Tong, and Liu Ba are currently the most powerful think tanks under his command.

Whenever he encountered a major event, he would discuss it with a few people first.

However, since Pang Tong had already been transferred to Jingzhou to assist Guan Yu in taking charge of Jingzhou, he had to deal with the complicated situation.

Liu Ba was close to Cao Cao in his early years, and this incident was precisely related to the fact that this man ignored the ancestral precepts of the Han Dynasty and called himself king with a different surname, pretending to challenge the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei thought for a moment and did not inform Liu Ba of this decision, but only informed the other three important ministers.

"You should retreat later and return to Wudu to report to Atong. Yan Gu already knows the specific situation."

"Here."

After the order was passed, the Wudu messengers also surrendered one after another.

for a moment,

In the middle of the hall, the only ones left were the envoy of the Jingzhou Army and the leader Liu Bei himself.

"You have traveled thousands of miles to report to Cao Cao that he has become king. This is not Yunchang's style. What other important things can he do to repay you?"

"Just tell me!"
