Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 499

Liu He hosted a banquet for Huang Gai that night, and told Huang Gai clearly that Sun Quan was his second uncle, and they were their closest relatives. How could they have any dissatisfaction with him?Since the two parties are a family, it is natural for the fish to help the water and the water to help the fish. Inviting Huang Gai is like being in your own home and must not be seen outside.

Then on the second day, Liu He asked the emperor to make Sun Quan the Duke of Wu, and to give Sun Quan the title of General Wei.

Huang Gai went back to see Sun Quan with the good news. Sun Quan was very happy when he got the news, and immediately ordered Huang Gai to be rewarded generously. To moling.

Although Huang Gai seems to be very beautiful and has become the existence second only to Sun Quan in the whole Yangzhou, this kind of scenery is superficial, because he was logically dismissed from the post of Danyang prefect, and he couldn't get the right to belong to Yangzhou. Sun Quan’s real power, his current actual function is to build a new city, and it must be completed within three years. According to Sun Quan’s explanation, the current treasury is insufficient in funds and manpower is also very tight, all of which need him to solve , and if he wants to complete this task within a short period of time, he can only take tough measures, increase taxes, and increase the people's corvee. In this way, his reputation will be ruined.

Huang Gai thought that he had brought a reassurance to Sun Quan and made a great contribution, so he should be thanked by Sun Quan, but he didn't expect that Sun Quan would treat him like this. After all, he also knows that building a new city is indeed an urgent matter, which is very beneficial to future strategies, including strengthening ties with Jingzhou, and also attacking Xuzhou to welcome the emperor.

Soon afterwards, the emperor issued a decree, Bai Sunquan was named General Wei, and Sun Quan was canonized as Duke Wu. Soon after, Cao Cao asked to be named Duke of Chu, which was approved by the emperor.

In fact, Cao Cao's notification areas were originally in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and he could be named Duke of Qi, Duke of Lu, or Duke of Chu. However, Cao Cao asked himself to be named Duke of Chu. This was not only because his ruling center was in Xuzhou, but It is also because he took the meaning of "Although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu must die", to show that he will not forget the shame in the future, defeat Liu He, and regain his homeland.

Liu He ignored this at all, because although Cao Cao seemed to have ambitions on the surface, that was just a slogan on his lips. Now Cao Cao is building high-rise buildings in Xiapi, collecting beauties in the buildings, and then night Ye Shengge, drinking and entertaining himself, entrusted the newly appointed minister Cheng Yu to deal with state affairs, and handed over military affairs to Xiahou Dun. He gave up important military and political affairs, but only gave a Sikong an idle job.

Of course, although Cao Cao appeared to be indulging in pleasure on the surface, he did not relax the power in his hands at all, and strengthened the supervision of the emperor. He also promised his two underage daughters to the emperor, and forced Emperor Xian to set them up. For the imperial concubine.

At this time, Liu Bei's complexion changed drastically after hearing the news, especially when he heard that Sun Quan married his younger sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu He, and was canonized as Wu Gong and Baozuo as General Wei under Liu He's recommendation , a heart that was a little excited suddenly became depressed again.

"How can this be? I have already joined Liu He all over the country. I hoped to use Liu He's strength to develop myself, and then join forces with Liu He to regain the lost land, and even take back the land of Jiangdong, but I didn't expect Liu He to marry Jiangdong. If so, how could Liu He unite with me again to help me regain the lost land? Could it be that my whole life can only be limited to a few counties in the north of this small Yizhou? Does my so-called destiny only refer to half of Yizhou? I originally thought that I could copy Gaozu’s road, take the middle of Shu as the foundation, build plank roads openly, darken Chencang, take down the Guanzhong area, and then fight Liu He decisively, compete in the Central Plains, and set the world. Liu Zhang in Yizhou is not as good as him, this is really a wonderful irony."

Liu He's face was full of worry and anger, and at the same time he sighed again and again.

At this time, I only heard a cough coming from outside the door, and then I saw Zhuge Liang walk in, and said slowly: "My lord, you should know Liu He's cunning by now, right? This is like marrying a daughter. He took a daughter At the same time, he promised to two families, and then let the two companies compete. It seems that both families can get a good wife, but in fact it is still a trick of two peaches killing three men. Now that the lord is attached to Liu He, he originally wanted to use Liu He's strength to deal with it. Sun Quan, but now Sun Quan's married sister has become a relative of Liu He. Liu He asked Sun Quan to be named, and Sun Quan was guaranteed to be the general of the guard. We can see from this that the so-called Sun Quan assassinated Liu He before. Even if it is true, it will not pose a threat to Liu He at all, and Liu He will not care about it, or this is one of Liu He's plans. Now the lord has no way to use his strength, and he is subject to Liu He and He at any time. The threat of Sun Quan's joint alliance had to further compromise with Liu He. At the same time, Sun Quan could only rely on Liu He's breath to avoid being threatened by our army and Sun Quan's joint alliance. Liu He kept his face and played with the heroes of the world Among them, this method is indeed admirable."

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, his face was full of remorse, and he sighed softly: "I really regret that I didn't listen to the advice of the military adviser, which caused our army to fall into such a passive state. It is really hateful to suffer such setbacks and be repeatedly teased by Liu He, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others! It's a pity that I insisted on going my own way and didn't listen to the advice of the military adviser, which led to the loss of the army and land, and now I regret it."

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, and then comforted him softly: "My lord, don't worry, this matter is not without a solution. Fortunately, although our army is weak now, we have maintained a temporary peace under Liu He's proposition. As long as we concentrate on developing and accumulating strength, there may not be a time when we will rise in the future. Although Liu He and Sun Quan seem to be close, they are not without enmity. Although it is impossible to fight against Liu He in the Central Plains, it is not a big problem to keep this foundation."

Liu Bei nodded, let Zhuge Liang preside over Yizhou's internal affairs, and let Guan Yu preside over Yizhou's military affairs, but he couldn't let go of his past mistakes. Between ten and a month, a serious illness happened.
