Chapter 499: Holding the Emperor hostage to order the princes
The issue of becoming emperor has been raised by more than one person these days.
However, Su Wang Huangfu Mingze still had concerns in his heart. Proclaiming himself emperor was no small matter. Of course, the pros and cons must be considered as clearly as possible.
As time went by, Huangfu Mingze's thoughts about becoming emperor became more and more serious.
Lingshi was different from the past. When he first came to Yannan Road, Su Wang Huangfu Mingze's biggest problem was survival. At that time, he naturally didn't think about proclaiming himself emperor.
But now, with the joining of Liangshan forces and the joining of Wang Yu, the power of Prince Su Huangfu Mingze has become stronger and stronger. Now, Huangfu Mingze has gathered together a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
It can still be taken out.
This power, of course, was nothing to the former Da Cang Dynasty! With the combined efforts of the four town generals, the Forbidden Army, and even several Taoist soldiers, they could defeat it in battle. But for today's Da Cang Dynasty,
In fact, this is already a decisive force.
Today, if Su Wang Huangfu Mingzhao can really gather a hundred thousand troops and stand on the opposite side, this will definitely be bad news for the court.
"In my opinion, one of the most urgent tasks is to be crowned emperor."
"Secondly, Yannan is ultimately barren, and seizing all the land in Hebei is the top priority." Wang Yu also interrupted just now, taking the initiative to show off his presence.
And what Wang Yu said was definitely not just a few casual words just to show off his presence.
It is impossible that Prince Su Huangfu Mingze does not have even one smart person under his command. If he really just said a few words casually, he would really make people laugh and look down upon him.
What Wang Yu said was definitely based on the idea of Su Wang Huangfu Mingze.
If Hebei Road is not captured together, it will be just a barren Yannan Road, which cannot be used as a long-term foothold and cannot meet their requirements for development and growth.
"Hebei Road!" For Prince Su Huangfu Mingze, this matter was no different from the matter of urgently proclaiming himself emperor.
After all, if there was only one Yannan Road, the imperial court would still have room to tolerate it. Yannan Road had always been barren, and even though it occupied the entire Yannan Road, Prince Su Huangfu Mingze was still within the tolerance of the imperial court.
For the imperial court, under the current circumstances, the threat from the three kings was ultimately greater.
However, if Su Wang Huangfu Mingze were to capture another Hebei province, it would be a real pain in the ass for the imperial court.
Further down Hebei Road is Henan Road. If Su Wang Huangfu Mingze really places a hundred thousand troops in Hebei Road, who among the officials in the imperial court will be able to sleep.
Hey, the title of emperor plus the attack on Hebei Province, the imperial court had no choice but to turn its attention from the three kings to Su Wang Huangfu Mingze.
Obviously, Prince Su Huangfu Mingze was not blind to this, so he was still unable to make up his mind.
His heart is beating, but if he has to face the imperial army, Huangfu Mingze's strength is...
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we can contact the three kings externally. When the time comes, there will be no fear of rebelling against the emperor!"
"Besides, Tianshi Dao Xuanyuan Huang is an outstanding figure in the world. He must know that unity will lead to survival, and division will lead to harm!" Wang Yu said with a chuckle.
Wang Yu's purpose was to support Chengsu Prince Huangfu Mingze in a direct battle with the Da Cang court, and in the process, continuously erode the power of Prince Su, in order to achieve the goal of "supporting the emperor to command the princes"
Purpose.
"Supporting the emperor to command the princes", Cao Cao also did such a thing, and I have to say that there must be many benefits behind it.
When Cao Cao was competing, the direction he chose was to focus on the emperor and attack the rebellious princes in order to expand his own strength and achieve the goal of unifying the world.
When all the princes occupied the mountain and became the king, Cao Cao chose a path that was different from others, which was to "hold the emperor's hand to command the princes".
At that time, Cao Cao's strength was insignificant among the various princes, and the power of any prince could defeat Cao Cao's troops. Cao Cao's intention of choosing to submit to the emperor was closely related to his strength at that time.
Cao Cao's situation at that time was just like Wang Yu's now. The power Wang Yu is using now seems to have formed a scale and has become a climate, but compared to the entire Great Cang Dynasty, it is still incomparable.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at that time, heroes were everywhere, and the military situation of separatism in various places was also established. Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, Sun Ce and other princes all had their own territory. At the same time, in order to dominate the
On one side, there is a fierce competition between them.
Although Cao Cao owns the two states of Yan and Yu, he is still far behind the power of other princes. The land of the Central Plains is not popular in the process of competing for world hegemony.
If Cao Cao participated in the war of contention like other princes, the result would definitely be unimaginable. In the end, Cao Cao's success was absolutely inseparable from his strategy of coercing the emperor to control the princes.
Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had already existed in name only at that time, and the Eastern Han Dynasty regime had long since collapsed, from an overall perspective, in the name of the emperor, whether it was sending troops to conquer other princes, or dividing and disintegrating hostile forces by conferring officials and titles, it could produce significant results.
Effect.
Cao Cao had a very clear understanding of the strategy of "holding the emperor to command the princes". He believed that only by "holding the emperor to command the princes" could he achieve a more "submissive" situation, which was what he called "serving the emperor and obeying others"
, Dashun also ".
As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao could legitimately use the banner of the emperor to achieve his goals in any matter, whether it was conquering the world or otherwise.
At that time, the emperor was too young and did not have much actual combat and management experience. He only had a false name and no real power. The real military power and political power were completely in the hands of Cao Cao.
The emperor had to listen to Cao Cao in everything. So under the circumstances at that time, what Cao Cao said was what the emperor said, and what Cao Cao did was what the emperor did. No matter what the consequences were, it was the emperor who took the blame in the end. In the eyes of everyone, Cao Cao was for
The emperor served, but in essence the emperor was just a pawn used by Cao Cao to realize his ambitions.
Now Wang Yu just wants to imitate the original Cao Cao and make good use of the value of the "Emperor". Although this Emperor was created by him, it does not hinder him.
Secondly, you can also continue to consume the Da Cang court's heritage in this process and prepare for the future.
Huangfu Mingzhao, Huangfu Mingze and the three kings are actually all powerful forces in the final analysis. It is only right to let these three forces consume each other.
