The 15th Route Army of the Han Army went south and entered Guandu. General Huo Jun came out of Hulao to greet them. The armies merged and there were 16 Route Army. i^
Since we entered from Guandu and chose to attack Yanzhou from the east, it was naturally impossible not to join Wenpin and Chen Ben's army in Xudu City.
Therefore, the Eighteenth Route Army of the Han Army is already obvious.
The news spread back to Dongjun City like a storm.
On this day, the sky was gray, as if it was going to rain, but it didn't rain, and the air was very oppressive.[
At this moment, the Wei Palace in Dongjun City and the main hall were also a little crowded.
Although it is said that the entire Wei State despised the Han Dynasty, when the war started, this dignity still had to be serious.
This is like despising the enemy strategically, but paying attention to the enemy tactically.
At this moment, everyone from Wei Emperor Cao Cao to the civil and military officials were solemn.
"Haha." Suddenly, someone laughed.
You know, the main hall is solemn, and it is even more solemn now that a big event is about to happen. However, someone is laughing at this moment, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.
Everyone, including Cao Cao, all looked at the source of the laughter.
I saw a man dressed as a civil servant, laughing loudly. This man had a handsome appearance, and his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of auras, and he was very agile.
The whole person gives off the impression that he is smart.
Smart, not wise.
Because wise people often give people a calm atmosphere. But this person, laughing in front of the audience, obviously has no connection with the calm atmosphere, but appears to be uninhibited.
Because it can only be described as smart.
"Why is Fengxiao laughing?" Cao Cao asked helplessly.
Yes, this person is the wise man under Cao Cao, Guo Jia of Yingchuan.
The ministers also shook their heads helplessly towards Guo Jia. This figure is now one of the few military advisor-level figures in the Wei Kingdom.%&*
The strategy he proposed included building high city walls and accumulating grain to meet the challenge. Because of this strategy, Gongsun Du and Yuan Shao supported it for a period of time.
This provided valuable time for Wei to further accumulate strength.
The second strategy was to plunder Jizhou. Although Liu Feng later reacted and decisively ordered the 14th Route Army to defend along the river, forcing Xu Huang and Yu Jin to retreat.
No further plundering was possible, but before that, Xu Huang and Yu Jin had plundered tens of thousands of people and moved south, greatly expanding the population of Wei.[
It can be said that these two strategies hit the mark and made the already weak Wei State a lot stronger.
Correspondingly, the confidence to fight against the Han Dynasty was even stronger.
Therefore, the ministers respect Guo Jia, but the problem is that this man is uninhibited. He can laugh, make jokes, and look disheveled in any situation. It is really helpless.
"Why are Fengxiao laughing?" The ministers were helpless, but Guo Jia was very comfortable. After hearing Cao Cao's question, he laughed three more times.
"Hahaha."
After that, Guo Jiacai said: "I have no taboos in laughing at Liu Feng."
"Why do you say that?" Cao Cao said in surprise. The ministers couldn't help but pricked up their ears. This is related to Liu Feng.
"At the beginning, Yuan Shao gathered hundreds of thousands of people from Hebei and went south, and his momentum far surpassed that of Liu Feng. However, the king only had 100,000 elite soldiers, and his momentum was much weaker than it is now. At that time, Yuan Shao entered Guandu and was completely defeated. Now, Liu Feng
Isn't it quite unlucky to enter Guandu? That's why I laughed."
Guo Jia laughed.
Although he was smiling, his eyes were extremely calm.
After hearing what Guo Jia said, Cao Cao and his ministers suddenly realized.
But it was Guo Jia who inspired Wei through this laughter and Guandu.
Cao "Cao" and all the ministers were suddenly stunned, and then they became energetic. Yes, Yuan Shao was so domineering back then, with hundreds of thousands of troops marching south in a majestic manner.
Under Yuan Shao's pressure, they only had 100,000 elite troops heading north, making them appear so weak.
But in the end, it was in Guandu that they defeated Yuan Shao and became the overlord of the world.
Now, it is true that Liu Feng is very energetic, but he only has 18 troops with 108,000 elite soldiers. If the two sides fight, it may not be another Battle of Guandu.
"That's right, what's so dignified about? Liu Feng is nothing more than that."
"Yes, let Liu Feng become another Yuan Shao."
"That's how it should be."
The officials lost their solemnity and their morale was greatly boosted.
"Hahaha."
Cao Cao laughed. While laughing, he also cast an appreciative look at Guo Jia. The laughter seemed to have no meaning, but it boosted his own morale. Well done. [
Just when everyone's morale was boosted and Cao Cao showed off his laughter, Guo Jia once again made a surprising statement. He laughed and said: "Since Liu Feng may not win, and Wei Guo may not lose, then I
I dare to ask you, do you really have confidence?"
Isn't this nonsense? The boost in morale proves that they are confident.
The ministers were thinking in their hearts.
"Of course I am a hundred times more confident." A decisive voice sounded. Everyone looked up and saw a burly but blind general with one eye open in anger.
It was none other than General Xiahou Dun.
"Yes, of course I am very confident."
After hearing this, the ministers also said one after another.
"In this case, I would like to ask your majesty to leave the title of king and return to the title of emperor. Prop up the Wei Dynasty and let the subjects and soldiers know that our Wei Dynasty is a country that can compete with the Han Dynasty."
Guo Jia took a deep breath, then stood up and came to the middle position. He knelt down and bowed to Cao Cao on the emperor's throne.
Suddenly, the hall started to smell like needles.
proclaim oneself emperor?
That's no joke. Just like Cao Cao, who had some power and the previous support of Gongsun Du, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce, he dared to call himself emperor and king of Wei, but he didn't dare to call himself emperor.
Because the power is still weak, proclaiming the emperor will give people a feeling that he has no strength but is a force.
Now, his power has slightly recovered, but Yuan Shao and Gongsun Du have been destroyed, and the overall momentum is not as good as before.
Become emperor now?
Suddenly, Cao Cao hesitated, and the ministers were also silent.
"A true man should act in accordance with his true nature when he establishes himself in the world. Your Majesty is a king and possesses the land of three states. Do you dare to compete with the Han Dynasty for supremacy in nine states, but don't dare to claim the title of emperor?" Guo Jia saw this,
shouted.
As he said that, Guo Jia's expression became more intense.
"If you don't dare to claim the honor of the emperor and sit on the throne of the emperor, why should you compete with the Han Dynasty for supremacy? Wouldn't it be straightforward to surrender early?"
Guo Jia said.
"Okay, prepare the utensils and relevant etiquette immediately, and I will do it for the Emperor of Wei." Cao Cao was hesitant at first, but after hearing what Guo Jia said, he immediately stopped hesitating and said decisively.
"Your Majesty is wise." Guo Jia took a deep breath and bowed down in the tunnel.
"Your Majesty is wise." After hearing Guo Jia's words, the ministers no longer objected. They looked at each other and bowed to Cao Cao.
A cohesion was formed among the ministers.
proclaim oneself emperor.
Even though it was just a situation, there was a real force that held the ministers tightly and united.
This is Guo Jia's motivation.
Looking at all this, Guo Jia smiled, full of confidence in his heart.
Liu Feng, you may not be able to achieve great things.
In the eighth year of the Zhongxing Dynasty, on May 18th, Cao Cao went to the east of Dongjun City and sued God, proclaimed himself emperor, called himself me, and offered amnesty to the world.
