"Well, well, well, Sima Zhongda has learned from me alone."
Liu Cong's face was gloomy, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't the Prime Minister serving the emperor to conquer the unworthy ministers?"
"Now that Gu is king, does he dare to attack Gu?"
Sima Yi replied without changing his expression, "The imperial court has its own laws. The Marquis of Chu pretends to be the king. Don't say that he was unpredicted."
"Arrogant!"
Among the generals, Gan Ning, who had the most violent temper, stood up and shouted at Sima Yi.
"Xingba, sit down."
Liu Cong first comforted Gan Ning, and then said to Sima Yi, "Zhongda, I have recorded your words. Let's see who can have the last laugh!"
Sima Yi sat down with a solemn face. Is Cao Cao still capable of conquering Jingchu?
Not only does it not exist, but it is also extremely weak. Currently, Cao Cao has troops and horses, but no money and food. The north has been in chaos for decades. Looking at the history of Cao Cao's fortune, almost every war is troubled by money and food.
Fortunately, the alliance between Liu Bei and Liu Cong is not irresolvable. First of all, there is a rift between the two. Furthermore, Liu Cong has just gone through the war against Jiangdong and Huainan, and he also needs to cultivate and digest the fruits of his victory.

As for Liu Bei, with such a shallow foundation, he won Xichuan, and it would be great if he could stabilize his own foundation!
In two or three years, the three major princes will not break out in a war. In two or three years, the world situation will definitely change again!
Not only Sima Yi can see these, but also wise men such as Cao Cao, Liu Cong, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, etc.
But these are no longer controllable by Sima Yi. The decision-makers are the three giant princes today. And the one who really takes the initiative is Chu State and Liu Cong!
Liu Bei wanted to join forces with Liu Cong, but Cao Cao was unable to attack Liu Cong. Liu Cong himself could advance or retreat, and attack and defense could only depend on his thoughts.
Therefore, Liu Cong could unscrupulously help Liu Xun develop and expand in Nanzhong and cause trouble in Nanzhong. Even so, Liu Bei could only join forces with Liu Bei.
Even if Liu Bei sent troops to conquer Nanzhong and faced off against the Chu army on the battlefield, diplomatically, he would still smile and say to Liu Cong, "We are friends and we are relatives."
Liu Cong was also a little anxious. According to Jinyiwei's investigation and Fazheng's secret report, Liu Bei also followed the example of Chu in implementing the New Deal in Yizhou.
Three provinces and six ministries established schools, hospitals, medicine halls... held imperial examinations, encouraged craftsmen...
He even imitated Jinyiwei and set up an institution called Zhiwensuo.

To be honest, Liu Cong is not afraid of confronting Cao Cao. Firstly, Cao Cao is older than him and will definitely die before him. Secondly, after his own reforms, Chu State can gradually surpass the north in both heritage and potential.
But this Liu Bei imitated Chu's reforms in Xichuan and made great achievements. Anyone who dared to resist was a murderer! All of them were ruthlessly suppressed by Liu Bei!
According to Fazheng's secret report, according to Liu Bei's new policy in Yizhou, the population of Yizhou plus Hanzhong has exceeded 2 million families. And this number is still rising!
Liu Cong estimated that these two places, no matter how small, could have a population of 2.5 million people. In the historical Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao moved the people of Hanzhong, but what was actually left to Liu Bei was an empty Hanzhong. Now,
Liu Bei still had hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong.
After two or three years, he will not be able to move. If he moves, Liu Bei will not be able to watch. Cao Cao will undoubtedly be defeated, but if he raises a prince who is stronger than Cao Cao, Liu Cong will not be willing to do so.
Liu Cong and Zhu Wenwu discussed that they should attack Liu Bei first and then deal with Cao Cao. However, few people agreed.
Everyone agreed that Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is better to annex the Central Plains first. By then, with all the power of the world, Liu Bei will not be able to be dealt with?
Besides, Liu Xun is still supporting Jingnan, what kind of trouble can Liu Bei make?
For the Chu State, the road to Shu is difficult, and attacking the land of Shu is even more difficult!
If you want to rebel, you can send troops from Wancheng and Huainan to the Northern Expedition. It's no problem to attack the city and plunder the territory. Even if Cao Jun has a large number of cavalry, Liu Jun also has the crossbows to restrain it, right?

The land of Shu is remote, and the one who conquers the Central Plains has always conquered the world, and the one who conquers the Central Plains is Zhengshuo. Compared with the Land of Shu, the ministers wanted Liu Cong to destroy Cao Cao, conquer the Central Plains, and then—proclaim himself emperor!
Then these people can be regarded as their contribution to the founding of the country, and Liu Cong will be an eternal emperor like Emperor Guangwu!
Shaking his head, Liu Cong got rid of these thoughts. He should be happy to be king today. As for the rest, we will talk about it tomorrow!
Liu Cong looked at Shi Xie who came from Jiaozhou, "Master Shilao, didn't you see the letter Gu gave you? Didn't Gu say that you are old, Jiaozhou and Xiangyang are far apart, there is no need to travel like this
Came here exhausted."
Shi Xie chuckled, cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, although I am a foreign vassal, I am also your Majesty's minister. Your Majesty's proclaiming the king ceremony, how can I do this?"
Chapter 316 Shi Xie wants to include [2/3, can you come and participate?"
"Hahaha……"
Liu Cong pointed at Shi Xie and said jokingly, "I often hear that Mr. Shi Lao is decisive and resolute. When I see him today, I know that the rumors are true."
"Sir, I'm getting older. I'll ask Mr. Zhang to take a look at you later. Mr. Zhang is the miracle doctor of Chu State. He can tell if there are any problems or hidden diseases in the body."
Shi Xie directly went out to salute, "When I arrived in Xiangyang and saw the king, I found out that the rumors were true. The king was mighty and sage, and I had only seen him in my life. It is a blessing for the people of Chu to have a king. It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty to have a king."
, this is the Liu family’s good fortune.”
With that said, Shi Xie continued to speak amidst the horror of everyone, "Only the king can stabilize the world, prosper the Chu Kingdom, and restore the Han Dynasty. I am old and can no longer bear the heavy responsibility. I dare to ask the king to allow me to serve
Retirement in Xiangyang!”

Retiring in Xiangyang, this is the decision to completely hand over Jiaozhou to Liu Cong!
Everyone stopped eating and drinking and looked at Liu Cong one after another. Most of the officials in Jingchu had their eyes shining and their expressions were excited.
Today, as soon as Liu Cong became king, the scholar family asked for help. Doesn't this mean that even God is protecting Chu?
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Cong put down his wine bottle and said, "When the Shi family first submitted to Gu, Gu said that as soon as Jingchu prospered, the Shi family would be rich and noble forever!"
"Master Shi Lao's heart is clear to me, but I am not an ungrateful person. I will not allow you to step down from your position as the pastor of Jiaozhou. If the descendants of the Shi family are really not strong enough to overwhelm Jiaozhou, I can also arrange for them to go elsewhere."
The place where you are on duty.”
"In a word, the scholar's family will never let down Gu, and Gu will never let down the scholar's family!"
"thump!"
Shi Xie didn't look like an old man in his forties at all. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I thank the king for his kindness. The Shi family will submit to the king and will never betray you!"
"Get up quickly, sir. You don't have to be like this because you are so old. I don't want to talk about state affairs anymore today. These will be left for tomorrow. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today! All gentlemen, have a drink with me!"
"I would like to congratulate the king! I wish our great Chu Kingdom a long-lasting and lasting inheritance for all generations!"

Eternals? Haha, Liu Cong doesn’t want the Chu Kingdom to be inherited for eternity, unless he cannot unify the world. After unifying the world, the country name that should be used must be Han! Read the book
As for Guozuo, Liu Cong doesn't expect too much. It would be good if he could live for four to five hundred years.
