    ¡°What a shot!!!¡±

    Yu Jin was so happy when he heard Cao Cao's praise that he raised his hands in ceremony.

    "Thank you, Prime Minister! That brocade robe should be mine!"

    Before the ban ended, another general from the red-robed team flew out angrily, shouting.

    "What's so amazing about your continuous arrows! Look at me grabbing the red heart!"

    After hearing this, Cao Cao turned around and looked around, it was Cao Ren!  Cao Ren suddenly galloped straight to the boundary. Niu turned around and shot an arrow. There was a loud bang, the arrow was inserted among the four arrows, and the golden drums sounded in unison.  Everyone praised Cao Ren for his superb archery skills. Cao Cao laughed endlessly and talked to his left and right.

    "Haha. It seems that people from my Cao family are better!"

    As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, he heard Cao Ren reining in his horse and pressing his bow, shouting provocatively at the green-robed generals.

    "Can this arrow win the brocade robe?!"

    Cao Ren¡¯s provocation immediately angered the generals in the green robe team, and a terrifying momentum exploded into the sky.  I saw a general in the green robe team coming out in response. Cao Ren looked at him. The man was handsome and majestic, his arms were powerful, and he had an open jaw.  He opened his jaw, stared intently, bowed first, and then said in a concentrated voice.

    "Zixiao's shooting skills are outstanding, but he is not the best in the world. Leave your brocade robe and my jaw open!"

    When Cao Ren heard this, his face darkened and he shouted angrily.

    "What shooting skills do you have to take away my robe?"

    He opened his jaw and didn't reply. He flicked his whip and walked away, flying all the way. He picked up the bow and arrow, flew his arms, and fired a series of arrows, five arrows in total.

    Whoops!  Phew~!  !  Phew~!  !  !  Phew~!  !  !  !  Phew~!  !  !  !

    Five arrows flew away wildly, one after another breaking through the five densely packed arrows on the red heart. When everyone saw it, no one was left out, and they exclaimed, and everyone was even more shocked!  Cao Cao was full of praise and laughed.

    "Hahaha!! Zhang Junyi's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, worthy of the robe of a general!!"

    He listened to the words with his jaw open, his head held high, and he wanted to get the brocade robe.  At this moment, Xiahou Dun stopped him with a fierce flying horse. He opened his jaw and frowned. This Xiahou Yuanrang was superb in martial arts and his marksmanship was unparalleled in the world, but his archery skills were mediocre. Now that he was out in the ranks, could it be that he wanted to  To snatch!  ?

    Just as he opened his jaw to ask a question, Xiahou Dun took off a piece of brocade cloth from his robe, covered his eyes, and then flapped his horse and flew straight towards the arrow stack. Everyone was shocked and looked closely at him.  Xiahou Dun went straight away. When he was about to reach the arrow stack, everyone saw that Xiahou Dun was about to hit him hard. Everyone's heart was in their throats.

    At this time, Xiahou Dun shouted angrily, raised his spear and stabbed it, the spear shot out like lightning, pierced the red heart, and flew away on horseback.  Xiahou Dun's blindfolded attack immediately won unanimous applause from everyone.

    When Cao Cao saw that the red heart was broken, he laughed and shouted.

    "Hahaha! The red heart has been broken, and it seems that today's victory has been decided. This robe belongs to Xiahou Yuanrang!"

    As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a general in the green robes with endless pressure ran out on horseback, roaring like a tiger, and shouted loudly.

    "Prime Minister, wait a minute! Xia Houyuan asked him to blindfold himself, it's not surprising! Look at me, Xu Zhongkang, wearing a brocade robe alone!"

    That person was none other than the tiger fool ¡®Xu Chu¡¯. After Xu Chu finished drinking, he held a featherless arrow in his hand, looked at the wicker in the distance and threw it. Flying rocks flew up and broke the wicker, causing the brocade robe to fall to the ground.  Xu Chu laughed loudly. Before anyone could react, Xu Chu flew on his horse to get the brocade robe.

    Whoops!  !

    In the midst of lightning and flint, an arrow suddenly flew from behind Xu Chu. Xu Chu's expression changed and he hurriedly rode past.  The arrow flew past, hit the brocade robe, flew hundreds of meters away, and stuck in another willow tree.

    This arrow is simply a miraculous skill.  Xu Chu glared fiercely, turned around and saw a red-robed general flying up on his horse, flying straight towards the willow tree in the distance.  When Xu Chu saw the general, he immediately looked serious. That man was Cao Cao's number one archer, Xiahou Miaocai!

    ?? I saw arrows raining from both sides of Xu Chu. Xu Chu grabbed his bow to block it. After the rain of arrows stopped, Xia Houyuan drove his horse to the willow tree early and took off his brocade robe.

    Xia Houyuan put it on his body and shouted to Cao Cao in front of the stage.

    "Thank you, Prime Minister, for the robe!!"

    Cao Cao and all the officials were envious of him.  At this moment, Xu Chu shouted angrily and flew towards Xia Houyuan.  Xiahou Dun was blinded by the sight and hurried to stop Xu Chu.  At the same time, another green-robed general rushed out on horseback, carrying an endless evil wind, and shouted sternly.

    "Hahaha!! As the saying goes, the weak prey on the strong, even if you take the brocade robe, if you don't have the power to protect it, it will fall into the hands of others sooner or later! This is the thing that I came to look for, who dares to take it!!!  "

    Dian Wei grinned and galloped on his horse.  Dian Wei has recently won a prize due to his meritorious service.??Cao Cao rewarded him with a peerless dragon colt named Zhahuang Feidian.  Feidian Huangzhao is tall and mighty, with a majestic posture and majestic momentum. He can be said to be the dragon among horses. Only such a horse is worthy of Dian Wei, an eternal evil general.

    Dian Wei's horse was fast, and he was in front of Xia Houyuan in an instant.

    The two horses were close to each other, so Xia Houyuan hurriedly swung his bow to hit Dian Wei.  Dian Wei fiercely used his iron halberd to break the big bow.  Xia Houyuan threw away the broken bow, turned over and dismounted, Dian Wei also dismounted, abandoned the iron halberd, and the two grabbed each other and started fighting.  On the other side, Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu were fighting and walking, and they all came together, and the four of them fought together.

    When Cao Cao saw this, he was afraid that the four of them would be injured, so he hurriedly ordered someone to free them.  When Cao Cao's attendants arrived, Xia Houyuan's brocade robe had been torn to pieces.  The four men's armor was uneven, their heads were swollen and their faces were blue, and they were in a very embarrassed state.  Cao Cao ordered all four to come to the stage.  The Xiahou brothers raised their eyebrows and glared, Dian and Xu gritted their teeth, each intending to fight another 300 rounds.

    When Cao Cao saw this, he laughed.

    "I particularly value your bravery. How can you not cherish a brocade robe? What's more, the general Wang Lu Feng has died. Up to now, only Wusheng Guan Yunchang can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. If you want to be the first in the world, who will be the only one in the future?  If you can kill Guan Yun Chang under the horse, I will give him a title!"

    After Cao Cao finished speaking, he asked all the generals to come up to the stage and give each of them a piece of Shu brocade. The Xiahou brothers, Dian, and Xu each received a peerless weapon as a token of recognition, and all the generals expressed their thanks.

    When he was young, Cao Cao ordered everyone to sit according to their positions.  Music is played in competition, singing and dancing are peaceful.  The civil servants and military generals took turns holding the candles, which was a great joy.  Suddenly Cao Cao turned his eyes and looked at the row of civil servants.

    "The generals show their majesty and bravery by riding and shooting. We are all well-educated men. Why don't we show off our literature and write hymns when we climb up to this high platform?" After hearing this, all the officials stood up from their seats and bowed.

    "I am willing to follow Jun's fate."

    Immediately, a group of civil servants presented poems.  There are many poems praising Cao Cao for his great merits and virtues, and for being worthy of his destiny.  After Cao Cao finished looking at them one by one, he went to the high hall and said.

    "The excellent works of all the gentlemen are highly praised. I think that I, Cao Ah Ma, was stupid by nature and unruly. I first promoted filial piety and integrity and became an official in the court. Later, the world was in chaos. Shi Chang served in the chaos and seized power in the country. The yellow turban thieves wreaked havoc in the world. Get rid of them.  Not long after, Dong Zhuo entered the court again. Dong Zhuo was in great power. I tried to assassinate him by myself, but I was able to escape. I gathered together the righteous troops from all over the world to fight against him, and defeated him in Luoyang. Unexpectedly, the princes from all over the country were forced to leave Chang'an.  They all had selfish motives and were afraid of hurting their power, so they retreated one after another. At that time, Dong Zhuo was unkind and corrupt, and was killed by his adopted son Lu Fengxian. His power was finally destroyed, and I rose up in Yanzhou.  He moved to Qingzhou, pacified Xuzhou, pacified the rebels in the Central Plains, built a foundation, defeated Li Cui and Guo Si, and saved the current emperor. At that time, he also eradicated Yuan Gongdao and Yuan Benchu, the two great axes of the world, and gained half of the world.  Dominate the world.

    Thinking about it, now that I am the Prime Minister of a country, my ministers are extremely noble, so what hope can I have?  Everyone in the world says that I am a hero in troubled times.  But who knows, if there is no one like me in the country, I don¡¯t know how many people will be called emperors and how many will be called kings.

    People in the world see my weight and make unreasonable criticisms, suspecting that I have different intentions and want to seize the Han Dynasty. This is really a big fallacy.  I often think of what Confucius said about King Wen's great virtues. These words are very close to my heart and I dare not forget them.  But if I donate my troops and entrust them to the hands of the Holy One, I am afraid that if I remove the military power, the world will be in chaos. If I fail, the country will be in danger, the country will collapse, and wars will continue in various places for a long time. The people will suffer, there will be countless casualties, and the lives will be ruined.  Now I want to be the king, but I have no choice!  "

    Cao Cao raised his head and spoke in a solemn voice, his eyes full of astonishment, and his words seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, without any falsehood.  Under the table, Xun Yu's expression changed continuously, he lowered his head and sighed.  He knew in his heart that everything was as Cao Cao said. If the Han Dynasty did not have Cao Cao's full support, the princes from all over the world would have proclaimed themselves kings and emperors, and the Han Dynasty would be an empty shell that was regarded as nothing by the princes.

    ??And Cao Cao becoming king at this time can firstly boost the morale of his ministers and elite troops, and secondly, it can intimidate the princes, stabilize the court, and continue the great cause of conquering the world.

    Xun Yu understood this very well, but there was a barrier in his heart that was like a chasm that was difficult to overcome.  At the same time, all civil servants on the Tongque platform knelt down and asked Cao Cao to ascend to the throne of Wei King.

    "At this time, there were nearly hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers outside the Tongque Tower, shouting in unison. The sound filled the sky and the earth, shaking the sky, and invited Cao Cao to ascend the throne of Wei King.  Cao Cao stood on a high platform and was willing to accept it.

    Cao Cao then returned to Luoyang with his troops.  Cui Yan, the minister, heard that Cao Cao wanted to become king, and secretly scolded Cao Cao.  If anyone is at odds with Cui Yan, inform Cao Cao secretly.  After hearing this, Cao Cao just sighed and handed it over to Cheng Yu.  Cheng Yu, always ruthless, immediately taught the soldiers to take Cui Yan to prison.  It is said that Cui Yan had tiger eyes and beard, a strong nature, and a heart of stone. He was also a man loyal to the Han Dynasty. However, when he saw that the ambush was defeated, he thought that the big thing was not over yet, so he did not dare to go to justice lightly.  One day, he got into trouble because he made a drunken blunder after hearing Cao Cao proclaimed himself king.  In prison, Cui Yan cursed Cao Cao for being a traitor and deceiving the emperor, and he would not die a good death.  Cheng YuSeeing that Cui Yan was so ignorant, he ordered the jailer to kill Cui Yan in prison with a stick.

    Once Cui Yan died, no one in the court dared to speak lightly about Cao Cao's claim to the throne.  A few days later, the ministers presented a memorial to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, praising Prime Minister Cao Cao for his merits, which were beyond the reach of all the sages of the past and present. It was appropriate for him to be elevated to the rank of king in recognition of his extraordinary achievements.  Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was like a puppet, did not dare to resist, so he ordered an imperial edict to appoint Cao Cao as the king of Wei.  Cao Cao pretended to write a three-word letter but refused to accept it, so the officials tried to remonstrate with him.  Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to report that the three reports were not allowed. Cao Cao had just accepted the title of the King of Wei, crowned him with twelve feathers, rode a golden chariot, drove six horses, used the Emperor's chariot to serve as Luan Yi, went out as a policeman and entered the palace, built the Wei Palace in Ye County, and established Cao Ang.  For the crown prince.

    Immediately, since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty lost his ambush and Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, he had not eaten for days and was as thin as a bone.  When Cao Cao heard about it, he entered the palace and met the sage.

    "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. I have no different intentions. Even though I have established a king now, I am still a minister of the Han Dynasty. I heard that Your Majesty had trouble sleeping and eating due to the death of Empress Fu, so I came to remonstrate with you. I think that my daughter is already with the Holy Lord, a great virtuous person and a great filial piety."  "It's a good place to live in the main palace. I wonder what your Majesty thinks."

    Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty An dared not obey, so he appointed Cao Cao's daughter Cao Gui as the queen of the main palace.  No one in the group dared to say anything, they all congratulated King Cao Cao of Wei.  Cao Cao did not take action, but once he did, he shook the world. He first eradicated Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, Kong Rong and other people loyal to the Han Dynasty, then ascended to the throne of Wei King, and finally raised his daughter to become the queen of the country.

    At this point in the imperial court, Cao Cao had monopolized power, and his power was unprecedented.  Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was disheartened and was walking like a zombie all day long. The overthrow of the Han Dynasty seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

    The other side is in Jiangling, Nanjun.

    The news that Cao Cao was proclaimed king had reached Jiangling at this time. When Liu Bei heard about Cao Cao's rebellious actions, he cursed angrily and cried with a bang on his chest. He wanted to mobilize all the troops in Jingzhou and march towards the Central Plains to attack Cao's thieves.  Zhuge Liang quickly stopped him and concentrated on admonishing him.

    "The situation in Jingzhou is unstable today. Sun Bofu's soldiers from Jiangdong are still entrenched in Nanjun and Jiangxia. At present, most of Changsha and Guiyang have been occupied by Jiangdong soldiers and horses. If Nanjun and Jiangxia are not protected, Jingzhou will be in danger! Lord Wan  Don¡¯t act rashly, otherwise you will never be able to recover once the situation is over!¡±
