Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: I help Lao Cao fight the country

In this way, their future position will also rise with the tide.

But two of Cao Ang's subordinates were unhappy!

Chapter 319 Persuading Guan Yu

These two are none other than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!

Guan Yu has always regarded himself as a Han official, and he is loyal to the Han family in his bones.

The last time Liu Bei joined forces with the Han rebel Yuan Shu, he objected.

This time Cao Cao wanted to be crowned King Wei again, and he opposed it from the bottom of his heart.

But his current status is only Cao Ang's retainer after all, and he is so soft-spoken, even if he opposes it, it doesn't make much sense.

So he was sullen and brooding.

Zhang Fei didn't care about it, it didn't matter who was the emperor in his eyes!

It's all about dressing and eating, eating, drinking, and sleeping, which has something to do with me, not to mention that Cao Cao wants to be the king of Wei!

Even if he is called emperor, he doesn't care.

But seeing that his second elder brother was unhappy, he would not be happy to accompany him!

The abnormality of the two quickly attracted Cao Ang's attention.

Taking advantage of the time when Lao Cao was still on stage, Cao Ang took a cup of tea and sat down beside the two.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw it was him, they got up to salute.

He was held back by Cao Ang.

"The two generals, everyone chatted happily, why are there only two generals who are unhappy?"

Zhang Fei said: "My lord will ask my second brother about this matter. I don't have anything to worry about. It's just that my second brother is unhappy, so I'll just accompany him!"

Guan Yu cupped his hands and said, "My lord! I don't know something, and I hope my lord can enlighten me!"

Cao Ang almost thought of what Guan Yu wanted to ask himself, but he still pretended not to know and said:

"Second Brother Guan, although you consider me the master, I always treat you like a brother. If there is anything you don't understand, Second Brother Guan, you can speak up. But if you know anything, I will definitely know everything!"

Cao Ang's just this sentence made Guan Yu feel better. It turned out that he was in such a position in Cao Ang's heart!

"Since the lord calls a certain family the second elder brother, then I might as well just say it. In your opinion, what is a king and what is a minister?"

Cao Ang said: "To be a king, you must win the hearts of the people. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, otherwise they are not worthy of being a king! A minister should be loyal to the country and seek peace for the common people in the world!"

Guan Yu nodded: "Since the lord has said that a minister must be loyal to the country, why is Cao Gong breaking the rules set by his ancestors and establishing himself as a king with a different surname, but there is no reason for it!"

"Hehe! Second brother Guan's words are wrong. If the current sage is the Daoming Lord and the world is peaceful and prosperous, it would indeed be treasonous for my father to become the king of Wei, but there is a prerequisite for all of this, that is, the world is peaceful. And this The great Han Dynasty at that time was divided by warlords, and the good-looking Han Dynasty was divided. The emperor didn't even have a foothold, and the people were in dire straits. Since Chen Liu started his army, my father has only focused on helping the Han Dynasty and reorganizing the Han Dynasty. , Now the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Sili, Yizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and part of Yangzhou have all returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty, and the land of Kyushu has been gathered. Could it be that my father can't do a mere thing? King Wei?"

Guan Yu fell into deep thought, if only in terms of merit, Cao Cao did have a reason to be the king of Wei with such great contributions, but Guan Yu, who is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Annals, just couldn't turn this corner in his heart.

Rules are rules, and since there has been no establishment of kings with different surnames since the Eastern Han Dynasty, no matter how great the credit for Cao Cao, it will not work!

"Although what the lord said has a certain truth, even if Mr. Cao has made great contributions, he can only be called king by the emperor, so it's a bit unreasonable to be a king on his own?"

Cao Ang sneered: "Son of Heaven! Now everyone in the world knows that my Cao family army is invincible, and how many people still remember being the Son of Heaven!"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Then in the eyes of the lord, what is the existence of the Son of Heaven?"

Cao Ang almost felt Guan Yu's hostility, but he still said directly:

"The world is for everyone, not for one family and one surname. As the saying goes, the virtuous live in it, and the virtuous lose it. Since the strength of the man is exhausted, it doesn't matter if it's my Cao family!"

Before Guan Yu could speak, Zhang Fei said from the sidelines: "Okay! My lord is right, why can a young boy ride on my head and do his best...!"

Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei who was about to continue talking: "Yide is not allowed to talk nonsense, the emperor is not something I can criticize!"

Turning his head, he said to Cao Ang again: "My lord, do you still want to replace him?"

"Second brother Guan! Even if I don't replace him, there will be someone else to replace him. Think about it, the Great Qin was strong enough back then, right? The first emperor looked down on the world and unified the six kingdoms. How powerful he was at the beginning, but his country was not ruined in the end. In the hands of Gaozu Liu Bang! Back then, Gaozu was just a ruffian, and he could overthrow Daqin, so why can't I take his power!"

"My lord! Don't you think that what you said is treasonous?" Guan Yu almost ran away!

Cao Ang was not angry.

It was the first time he mentioned this matter in front of others.

In the past, I just talked to my confidants and Cao Cao.

Since he can not hide it in front of Guan Yu, it is enough to be positive, Guan Yu's position in his heart.

"Second brother Guan, tell me something you don't like to hear. What did the emperor you talk about do? But he did something that benefited the country and the people? Maybe you will say that the emperor is still young, and maybe you He would say that all the power is in the hands of my father and son, even if the Son of Heaven has the ability, there is nowhere to exercise it! But have you ever thought that if the Son of Heaven had not been rescued by my father Babaili that day, there would still be the Son of Heaven today, even if it was him He would have starved to death in that patch of broken bricks and tiles in Luoyang!"

Guan Yu: "...!"

Cao Ang continued: "An emperor who doesn't even have a foothold, an emperor who can't eat by himself, think about it, what else can he do for the people? I'm afraid he is useless except for grabbing food from the people's mouths. Come on!"

"On the other hand, if you look at the Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yongzhou Liangzhou run by my father and son, the people nowadays can fill their stomachs without saying that they have enough food and clothing. I, Cao Ang, boast of all the credit. Without my father and son, would Liu Xie be able to govern so well?"

Speaking of excitement, Cao Ang directly called out Liu Xie's name.

"If you are an emperor, you can't keep the country peaceful at the top, and you can't keep the people safe at the bottom. Then what's the use of such an emperor coming! Could it be that second brother Guan wants to complain about such an incompetent emperor?"

Guan Yu was speechless again.

The key is that every sentence Cao Ang said is the truth, and he is not allowed to distinguish.

Guo Jia and Xun You, who were sitting on the other side of them, immediately applauded when they heard Cao Ang's words:

"General Hussars, what you said is true, what a good one to keep the country peaceful and the people safe."

"Well! If that's the case, do we still need to fight around? Thinking about it is very exciting!"

Cao Ang took the words of the two and said: "Yes, as long as the people can eat enough, whoever wants to fight if they have surplus food and money in their hands, but it is not me who is arrogant to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. Looking at the world, Only my father and son can!"

Including Zhang Fei, everyone who heard this sentence nodded in agreement.

The most powerful person in the world today is the Cao family. If anyone can end this troubled world, only the Cao family can do it.

As for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Sun Ce who occupies more than half of Yangzhou?There is also Zhang Lu, Bingzhou high-ranking officials who are domineering in Hanzhong, and Youzhou Gongsun Zan, Yuan Xi, etc. wanting to unify the country is simply a dream.

It's just that they themselves dare not say that they have that certainty.

On the contrary, regardless of their poor strength, all of them are wolf ambitions, and no one is willing to help the Han Dynasty.

Cao Ang saw that Guan Yu was silent for a long time, so he asked:

"Second Brother Guan, do you think what I said is correct?"

Chapter 320 Xun Yu

Guan Yu fell into a brief silence.

After a long time, he said leisurely: "It is good to say that the world is the world for everyone, so please forgive me for asking, if one day the Cao family replaces the Han family, what will you do, my lord?"

Without even thinking about it, Cao Ang said directly: "I should take the responsibility of the common people in the world as my own responsibility. I dare not say anything else. I can guarantee that we Han people will not be bullied by foreigners again, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. From now on, we will have enough food and clothing."

Guan Yu also seemed to have made the final decision, and said with a smile: "Haha! Good! It's a good sentence for the common people in the world, and Guan will wait and see. If one day, if the lord does not do what he said today, then don't blame me. on the contrary!"

Zhang Fei also said: "That's right! If the words don't count, I, Old Zhang, won't agree either!"

"Yun Chang, Yi De! Don't worry, you two, members of the Cao family will definitely live up to expectations!"

At this time, a rich voice sounded.

Everyone got up after hearing the words.

The person here is today's host, Cao Cao!

When Lao Cao came to Guan Yu's side, his eyes were filled with admiration, and he didn't hide it at all.

Guan Yu was a little embarrassed when I saw it at the end!

I heard Cao Cao say: "Yun Chang! Unexpectedly, before Hulao Pass, you and I will officially meet today!"

Originally, they met once a few days ago, but because of Cao Ang's wedding day, they didn't chat.

Also, before entering Jingzhou, the two of them were able to meet each other, but they still missed it by accident.

Therefore, after a farewell to Hulao, this time can be regarded as a real meeting.

Guan Yu saw that it was Cao Cao himself, and he cupped his hands and said, "Guan Yu has met Duke Cao!"

Although Zhang Fei was reluctant, he cupped his hands: "Zhang Fei from Yan, I have met Duke Cao!"

Cao Cao laughed heartily: "My son has two strong generals to help, so why worry about the world being uncertain!"

Zhang Fei curled his lips: "It's enough for you old boy to know what our brothers are capable of!" '

Guan Yu didn't have Zhang Fei's arrogance. He knew that even without the two of himself, Cao Ang would still be able to level the world like a bag!

"Mr. Cao is serious. The two of us are just icing on the cake. With my lord's ability, even without the two of us, the world will be in my pocket!"

Guan Yu's arrogance, Lao Cao had learned it before Hulao Pass.

Now that such an arrogant and unruly person can praise his son in public, Lao Cao couldn't help but feel so beautiful in his heart!

'did you see it!This is my son!Even people like Guan Yu are willing to work for him. '

"Haha! Yun Chang is absurd! It's a great honor for you to say that! Come on, Brother Yun, let's talk!"

As he spoke, he took Guan Yu's arm and walked up.

Seeing Cao Ang, he couldn't help muttering, no wonder the history says that Boss Cao has three major hobbies:

One is the love of married men.

The second is to appreciate Guan Yu.

The third is the foundation of his fortune, Captain Touching Gold!

Now it seems that it is really consistent with the historical records.

When Guan Yu sat down under Cao Cao's hands, Lao Cao stretched out his hands and pressed down.

The originally noisy hall suddenly became audible!

"Everyone! Since my son Zixiu launched an army to attack the big man and rebelled against Yuan Shao half a month ago, every piece of credit you have made is in the heart of a certain family. Don't worry, as long as I, Lao Cao, are here, your hard work will be rewarded." It will not be wasted in vain. Now that the imperial court has issued an appointment, because of Cao Ang's contribution in this battle, the emperor has already issued an edict, and canonized Zixiu as the general of the court! It is really gratifying and congratulatory!"

When everyone heard the words, they all clapped their hands and cheered.

Cao Ang has today, relying entirely on his own ability, step by step to rise up.

It's just that there is a fifth-rank Zhonglang who is now a first-rank general, and the speed of promotion is too fast.

But none of the people present questioned it.

Because Cao Ang's credit is here, if anyone refuses to accept it, you can try it too?

But the authenticity of this appointment is somewhat speculative. Everyone knows that the current emperor is just a decoration.

As for the so-called appointment, it is not a word from Lao Cao.

Next, Lao Cao presented awards to Lu Bu, Qu Yi, Gao Shun and others.

All in all, all the people here, whether they participated in the battle of Yangzhou, the battle of Jingzhou, or the battle of Yizhou, have all received rich rewards, including official positions, titles, salaries, and fiefdoms.

Everyone rejoiced.

One after another, it's right to follow the Cao family in this life!

Wait until everyone has been commended.

There is only one person left in the field who has not yet been presented for recognition.

That is Cao Cao himself.

Others didn't seem to have noticed, but Guo Jia, who was Cao Cao's number one adviser, guessed what Cao Cao was thinking.

He peeked at Cao Ang who was opposite, and found that Cao Ang was nodding to him at the moment.

Guo Jiaduo is smart, so he immediately understood, got up and said:

"Mr. Cao! Everyone present is rewarded, but one person is missing. Isn't it unfair!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, did you see that, it was Guo Jia who did it wrong, even if I didn't speak, he would still know what I was thinking!

Among the crowd, it is inevitable that there are some who are not very bright-minded, and have not figured out who did not get the reward.

They are all looking around, hoping to see which unlucky guy it is, who doesn't even have a reward!

You know, the range of rewards this time is unprecedented, even if you have no military merit at all, but you participated in it, or those who stayed at home and made great achievements in defense will be rewarded heavily.

Just when everyone is looking for who is so stupid!
