    Chapter 158 "Cao Cao and Liu Jia watch Sun Quan's jump"

    Cao Cao looked at Xun You and said with a smile: "As long as we can defeat Liu Jia'er, we can use any method."

    Afterwards, Cao Cao looked at the people in front of him and ordered: "Now that it is the harvest season, we should send most of the troops out to recover all the food from the west of Chang'an City, and move inland together with the people there."  It is possible to extend the logistics transportation line of the Yizhou Army. We don¡¯t need to send many people to guard each city, let the common people share part of the guard, and distribute our main force among the major cities. When we see the opportunity, we will pounce with all our strength and bite  Drop one of them and make them unable to defend themselves. We will make several remote cities become Liu Jia's burden."

    A few days later, when Cao Cao's vanguard troops approached Chang'an, news of Sun Quan's ascension to the throne came from Jianye Sun Quan: Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Jianye on September 20, the eighteenth year of Jian'an, with the country name Wu and the reign name Huanglong.  , with Zhang Zhao as the prime minister, Zhou Yu as the general, and Zhuge Liang as the disciple.

    When there were only a few confidants in the tent, Cao Cao sneered: "This blue-eyed kid really can't help it. A few folk songs from folk children really made him fall in love. Tell me, what should we do?"

    After finishing speaking, before anyone else could speak, Cao Cao said again: "Now the battle with Liu Jia is about to begin. This blue-eyed kid really knows how to pick a date."

    Xun Yu was about to speak, but after hearing what Cao Cao said, he suppressed it.  But his desire to speak was still evident.

    Cao Cao smiled and said to Xun Yu: "What? Just say what you have to say."

    Xun Yu cleared his throat and said: "King Wei, we have always been under the emperor. We should swear to the death to safeguard the emperor's legitimacy and authority. Sun Quan did such a treasonous thing. King Wei should lead us to suppress this rebellion. However, now,  The situation in Chang'an is at a loss, and Yu really doesn't know what to say, but at least he should spread the word to the world and scold this traitor and traitor"

    Cao Cao was noncommittal and just focused his eyes on the cases in front of him, stroking gently on the cases with his hands.  People who didn't know thought he was thinking about Xun Yu's question just now.

    Jia Xu said: "Wen Ruozhi's words were wrong. Now Chang'an is in dire straits. There is no doubt that our army of more than 300,000 will defeat Liu Jia's 240,000 troops, but the final victory will definitely not be easy. We are now in Jiangshui.  There are only over 100,000 troops on the front line to defend Sun Quan. If we insist on insulting Sun Quan, but Liu Jia panders to him. If the two of them collude, what will we do? We will be attacked front and back, and I am afraid that we, the Han Dynasty, will never recover. According to Xu,  For the present, it is better to stay out of sight."

    Xun Yu didn¡¯t want to say anything at first, but he roughly guessed what Cao Cao was thinking.  However, the idea of ??loyalty to the emperor that he had formed over the years made him feel a little ashamed, and he couldn't help but say: "The King of Wei is the pillar of the Han Dynasty. If the King of Wei does not express his position, other young people will think that the King of Wei is tacitly approving or even encouraging Sun Quan to do this."  It's a matter of fact. Doesn't this damage the reputation of King Wei? How could Sun Quan dare to fight across the river with his meager troops? They only had more than 100,000 troops, not only 200,000, to break through our defense line of more than 100,000 troops. They  Isn¡¯t he also dying? Liu Jia hadn¡¯t swallowed them all at that time. How could Sun Quan be so stupid?"

    Cao Cao stood up a little unhappy, and while asking the guards to put on his armor, hand him a sword, and put on a helmet, he said slowly: "Whether Sun Quan will attack the river and release the line will be discussed in a few days. I want to  Go to the military camp to see how the morale of the soldiers is. Let Zhongda go with me. Let¡¯s go¡ª¡ª¡±

    When Sima Yi followed Cao Cao out, Xun Yu also regretted his words.  Because all of them knew that Sima Yi had been secretly encouraging Cao Cao to abandon the current emperor and become the emperor's capable general.  Maybe Cao Cao's decision to ask Sima Yi to go with him was just an unintentional decision, but it doesn't rule out that Cao Cao had such a hint.  Listen to the sound of the piano and know the elegant meaning.  Everyone's mood suddenly became restless, but everyone was thinking about different things.

    ¡­¡­

    The news that Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor also reached the ears of Liu Jia and others.  They were much more cheerful than Cao Cao. As soon as they received the news, Liu Jia, newly arrived Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Li Hui and others burst into laughter.  Xu Shu also said repeatedly: "Let's have a big meal tonight. While Cao Cao is still on the way to Chang'an, we can let the soldiers relax for a few days. Sun Quan is too helpful."

    Pang Tong smiled and said to Liu Jia: "King of Shu, don't you want to keep your promise?"

    Liu Jia was stunned and said casually: "Promise? What promise?"

    Pang Tong said quickly: "Okay, okay, just forget it. Now we can drink ten more carloads of wine. Haha"

    Hearing what Pang Tong said, Liu Jia finally understood what Pang Tong meant.  At that time, under Cao Cao's "recommendation" and "suggestion", the emperor made Liu Jia the King of Shu and Zhang Liao the Marquis of Jingxi, and sent imperial envoys to YiThe state went to declare the decree.  After hearing the news, Liu Jia and Pang Tong started joking. At that time, Liu Jia said: You can make him a king, he can make him a king, and everyone can make him a king. It depends on which one can't bear it anymore and will be the first to climb up.  "

    Pang Tong said: To the first person who declares himself emperor, we will privately send him ten jars of Zangke Prefecture wine.

    After hearing this, Liu Jia waved his hand.  He said generously: "More than ten altars? Send ten cars!"

    Seeing Pang Tong, he was still smiling.  Liu Jia asked a little uneasily: "Speaking of this wine thing, what does Shi Yuan think we should do? Should we scold or congratulate? Do you want some of this wine?"

    Pang Tong said: "If you don't want to scold or congratulate him, just let him go and make trouble. Let's go drink!" After saying that, he walked to the meeting hall gracefully.

    Xu Shu, who was about to follow, saw Liu Jiayou opening his mouth to inquire. He smiled and said, "Shi Yuan is right to handle this. Although we are not afraid of offending Sun Quan if we scold him, it is better not to anger him now. But  We can't send congratulatory gifts. Even if we send them secretly, Sun Quan will publicize this matter as a big event to show that he has won the hearts of the people. Sun Quan got the benefits, but he put us on the opposite side of the scholar-bureaucrats and was  People reviled.¡±

    Liu Jia naturally understood immediately, but still asked: "What does Yuan Zhi think Cao Cao will do?"

    Xu Shu laughed and said: "Haha, Cao Cao is more difficult to deal with than my lord. He has a god on his head now. If he doesn't resolutely oppose Sun Quan, others will definitely say that he is treasonous. But the opposition is not what he wants, and he doesn't want to be here.  Whenever Sun Quan is offended, he can only choose to remain silent, whether in public or private matters."

    Liu Jia also laughed: "He is indeed much more uncomfortable than Jia. He can't laugh, scold, agree, or oppose."

    ¡­¡­

    In early October, after Cao Cao's army rested in Chang'an for a few days, they came towards Long County in a murderous manner. Wang Shuang's 20,000 men were the left vanguard, Cao Hong's 20,000 men were the right vanguard, and Cao Ren led 20,000 men.  The men and horses were in the center to support them; Xu Huang and Li Dian were the rear army; Cao Cao led Xu Chu and Xia Houyuan as the middle army.
