The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 172 Boss Cao’s half-hearted offer

Cao's army can move down the Yangtze River.

However, their Sun-Liu coalition attacked against the current.

If there is a strong northwest wind again.

In terms of timing alone, it's not an advantage at all.

Sun Quan's location in the south of the Yangtze River was more or less advantageous.

But Changsha was semi-surrounded by Cao Cao's forces.

There is no geographical advantage at all.

If the coalition forces under Zhou Yu's command make a mistake.

Then he will have to stick to Changsha from now on, and it will be difficult for him to go north again.

I think that although Cao Mengde was a eunuch's son, he entered the officialdom at an early age.

"Hiss~ ugh."

But it made him feel a little jealous for no reason!

I think of that young man as handsome and dashing.

And I, Liu Bei, rely on people and people! It depends on people’s hearts!
And just as a war in Jiangnan was about to begin.

He immediately frowned and pulled it out with his hand!
But the next second, he couldn't help but cover his chin, gritting his teeth in pain.

Overcome all calamities and achieve hegemony.

Located to the north on the other side.

As he spoke, he also gently combed his beard.

"Lord, look! It's General Guan's ship!"

The only option is to be patient and wait for the opportunity.

In the final analysis, it would be of no use if he was anxious.

At this time, I recalled the negotiation with Zhou Yu just now.

Once upon a time, Liu Bei was so unruly and unruly, but what about now?

This made him lament the injustice of God again!

Only he, Liu Bei, was a trafficker and a pawn, and he shouted every day that he was a member of the Han clan.

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh while feeling the pain.

People have grown old as time and moon pass by, but their achievements have not yet been accomplished.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei was inevitably bitter and sighed secretly.

But nesting in a corner of this big man is a precarious situation.

Now I have worked hard for nothing!
Seeing that I am now nearly half a century old, my hair is covered with white hair.

Just like what my military advisor said.

When I was young, I often heard people say that the hero did not wait for me in his old age.

Come to think of it, I haven't accomplished anything.

It's like pouring a ladle of cold water into the hot oil pan that is the imperial court!
It caused a huge sensation in the government and the public!

Why are there such big differences between people?

When Liu Bei saw this, the sadness in his heart gradually relieved.

But I accidentally saw a white beard of my own.

I couldn't help but think that I was already over forty years old.

Although he has been on the run for most of the world for many years.

But he has always started from scratch without receiving any favor from his ancestors.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei also sighed.

Let one of them occupy the time and the other the advantage!

Now he can feel this sadness firsthand.

It seems that he wants to look more respectable.

But at least there is still a group of brothers who are following me wholeheartedly!
As for Cao Cao or Sun Quan, are they so lucky?

Although Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's inheritance, he still had one side.

And a slightly arrogant tone.

"Everyone must be worried and came to pick us up!"

Cao Cao published another shocking article.

To this day, I can’t even count the white hairs on my head.

But at this moment, Wei Yan interrupted Liu Bei's thoughts by pointing at the surface!

This article is the famous "Order to Make County Self-Ming".

This is a eloquent article of nearly a thousand words.

On the surface, it seems that Cao Cao is resigning his promotion to the throne.

But not only did he express his gratitude to the emperor, he also promulgated it to the whole country in the name of the prime minister.

In this article, Cao Cao not only detailed his official career.

He also used this to express his feelings to the world.

No, I confessed myself at the beginning of the article.

He stated that his original ambition was only to "be a county guard."

At most, he is just a generation of capable ministers and officials.

For this reason, he punished lawlessness and banned obscene sacrifices during his tenure as prime minister in Jinan.

As a result, he encountered obstacles at every turn and offended the powerful, so he claimed to be ill and retired for fear of causing trouble.

But then, Cao Cao was not tired of adding more land. He enumerated his achievements since he served as governor.

Pinghuangjin conquered Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao conquered Jingzhou.

Then with a stroke of his pen he wrote:
'Assuming that there is no one in the country, I don't know how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be called kings! '

He also said that as a prime minister, he was extremely noble and his expectations were exceeded.

He also encouraged himself with the historical stories of Le Yi, Meng Tian and even Zhou Gong, these virtuous ministers and loyal kings.

Claiming to imitate Qi Huan and Jin Wen, and always be loyal to the Han Dynasty and the country!

He repeatedly emphasized that he had no different aspirations.

But then again, it's impossible to get him to hand over his authority.

One sentence: 'I am sincerely afraid that if I leave the army, I will cause trouble to others. '

Frankly speaking, I was afraid that I would retreat.

There are people who are unfavorable to his Cao family, and they cannot accept the political liquidation after his death.

This is why we should not pursue false reputations while dealing with real disasters.

And the world is not at peace, so don't give up your position.

However, he could only be grateful for the imperial court's reward! Only give in!
For a time, no matter the officials of the imperial court or the common people.

After reading these articles, everyone started talking about the current prime minister.

But in general, people all over the world give mixed reviews.

Supporters praised Cao Cao's virtue and considered him a hero who dared to tell the truth.

But critics increasingly believe that Cao Cao is extremely hypocritical.

I wrote this article just to promote myself.

Although he became the prime minister, he conquered east and west in the name of the imperial court.

But in the final analysis, they still find ways to seek personal gain for themselves.

Now he has taken over all the power and has emptied the Han Dynasty and the imperial court!
And comparing himself with Zhou Gong is even more obvious!

This move is tantamount to three hundred taels of silver being left here!
In short, this is a hypocritical article that reveals great evil.

Regardless of what the world thinks, the Han court had to make a decision.

For the Han Prime Minister Wu Pinghou Cao Cao, the fiefdom of five thousand households was reduced.

He also took out 15,000 households and granted him three sons.

Cao Zhi was granted the title of Marquis of Pingyuan, Cao Chong was granted the title of Marquis of Fanyang, and Cao Lin was granted the title of Marquis of Raoyang.

Each enjoys a town of five thousand households.

On the surface, it seems that Cao Cao's fiefdom has been reduced.

The three sons of the Cao family were entrusted with 15,000 households.

It seems that the Cao family lost five thousand households.

But what Cao Cao gave up was the fiefdom in central and southern Yuzhou.

In exchange for the three counties of Pingyuan, Fanyang and Raoyang.

They are all serious northern towns.

In this way, the Cao family built a line of defense in the three states of Youji and Qingbian.

It formed a barrier to protect Yecheng.

And what is intriguing is that according to the favor system of the Han Dynasty.

If the father is a county prince, then the eldest son is the exception.

Can only be granted the title of Guannei Marquis who is lower than the county marquis level.

And Cao Cao, the Marquis of Wuping, was the Marquis of the county.

However, Pingyuan, Fanyang and Raoyang are all counties.

Nowadays, one clan of the Cao family is granted the title of Marquis of four counties, which obviously violates the etiquette system.

But even if someone sees this trick.

Who dares to stand up and openly oppose it?

So no matter who takes advantage, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Today, the Cao family is bathed in the emperor's grace.

After all, his sons were all named county princes.

Is it still far for Cao Cao to be promoted to Duke?

However, after the news came out.

His son Cao Pi, who was in charge of Yecheng, was not happy.

After all, Cao Pi knew very well.

On the surface, this means that the imperial court favored the third son.

In fact, his father, Cao Cao, had already made the decision internally.

And among these three sealed young masters.

Cao Lin was born to the beautiful Du family who had always been favored by Cao Cao.

It can be said that the son is more valuable than the mother.

However, Cao Chong was born from the Huan family, but he relied on his own intelligence.

Won the favor of Cao Cao.

But Cao Zhi's nature is different.
