Chapter 650 Forming an Allied Forces

Xun You proposed to crown Zhang Yu king in recognition of his great contributions.

Since Han Xin's group of kings with different surnames was killed, there have been no kings with different surnames.

"The king who is not the Liu family, if he has no merits, the world will punish him."

It means that only the Liu surname can be named king, and the non-Liu surname can only be named a marquis at most, and it needs to be approved by the emperor with the surname Liu.

Therefore, when Xun You proposed to make Zhang Yu king, it was more to trick him.

"Conferring kings, since several kings with different surnames were exterminated in the early Han Dynasty, there were not many people with the surname Liu after that." Cao Cao pondered, and conferring kings was no small matter.

Cao Cao was very hesitant. It is not a trivial matter to be crowned king, and according to Zhang Yu's character, it seems that he is not afraid that the whole world will attack him.

"Before, several princes attacked Zhang Yu, but he resisted him. Even if there are princes who want to attack him in the future, they can't be like the eighteen princes begging for Dong. I'm afraid Zhang Yu can easily take it down." Cao Cao said .

Xun You nodded and said: "Nowadays, the princes will not jointly attack Zhang Yu if they have no interests, but the title of king depends on whether Zhang Yu's rhythm can be disrupted and he can expand like Yuan Shu. Otherwise, the whole world will not be long. No one is Zhang Yu's opponent."

Xun You said again: "This time several major princes jointly attacked Zhang Yu, but he carried him down. Zhang Yu's potential was verified and his reputation rose greatly. When the spies came to report, Zhang Yu asked the people to borrow money, at least hundreds of millions of dollars."

"So cohesive, it is difficult to break through external forces, and it can only cause problems within them."

Xun You's analysis made Cao Cao's heart clear.

Although Zhang Yu suffered a heavy loss this time, his image suddenly changed greatly.

Just imagine, a force that can withstand the blows of Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and more than 400,000 Huns.

The people of Youzhou and Jiangdong are united like never before.

Zhang Yu's prestige has reached a new height.

In this way, Xun You felt terrible even thinking about it.

Once Zhang Yu is allowed to continue to develop, then there may really be no one to be his opponent.

and,

Zhang Yu's two sites are well positioned and will not be attacked from all sides.

"Okay, let him be crowned king." Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said.

However, the matter of conferring the king is definitely a major event that opened up the world.

Cao Cao called several staff members to discuss.

"My lord, during the time of Gaozu, the opposite sex could not be crowned king. If His Majesty were to make Zhang Yu king, it would be detrimental to His Majesty." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded, this is also a problem.

"However, my lord, we can ask His Majesty to give Zhang Yu the surname Liu, and then make him king." Cheng Yu said.

Giving a surname has existed since ancient times, so Liu Xie does not violate the rules set by the great ancestor Liu Bang.

"Okay, let's draft an imperial decree right away to make Zhang Yu King of Bohai Sea," Cao Cao said.

Bohai, that is Yuan Shao's place, and Yuan Shao started his fortune in Bohai.

And Cao Cao deliberately sealed Bohai to Zhang Yu.

This is for Zhang Yu to fight with Cao Cao.

The imperial decree was promulgated soon, and Zhang Yu was given the surname Liu and the king of Bohai because of his great contributions.

There is a fast road from Luoyang to Jiangdong, and Zhang Yu received the news within a few days.

"Huh, the surname is Liu, who cares?" Zhang Yu curled his lips when he received the news.

He didn't expect Cao Cao to come up with such an idea.

Zhang Yu went to the front line and went directly to Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, Cao Cao is also playing tricks on us, how should we deal with it?" Zhang Yu said.

"My lord, the sincerity of this king is enough. For hundreds of years, the man who can be king of the opposite sex is just like Gaozu's group. This Cao Cao also has no good intentions." Guo Jia said.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Yu asked Ji Guo Jia.

"I don't accept it, and I don't object to it. Use whatever is convenient." Guo Jia replied.

It is impossible for Zhang Yu to change his surname.

"Okay, then don't want the name of the throne, but the real power of the throne." Zhang Yu said.

When the imperial edict arrived, Zhang Yu didn't go to pick it up, and sent an ordinary soldier to take the imperial edict.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Yu issued several orders.

Self-led Youzhou Mu and Yangzhou Mu, and re-established mansions in Youzhou and Jiangdong.

According to the configuration of the throne, configure yourself with corresponding officials.

Give yourself to follow the rules of the throne.

When the news was fed back to Cao Cao, Cao Cao also had a headache.

"This Zhang Yu is a scoundrel." Cao Cao scolded.

Cheng Yu said: "Zhang Yu is so calm at such a young age, he will definitely be our enemy in the future, even more terrifying than Yuan Shao."

Xun You also said: "My lord, I'm afraid this plan will not be of much use to Zhang Yu.

Cao Cao waved his hands and said, "It's okay, this Zhang Yu is already difficult to deal with."

Cao Cao was also helpless, the title of king was to make Zhang Yu swell and affect his behavior.

But at present, Zhang Yu is still very calm.

Conferring a king will definitely cause a lot of trouble, at least people in the world can use this reason to attack Zhang Yu.

Before Yuan Shao and the others attacked Zhang Yu, it was very unjustifiable, but now they at least have a legitimate reason.

Whether it works or not depends on the long-term.

Cao Cao was more free and easy, and put the matter behind him.

"Everyone, you can't delay in sending troops to attack Yuan Shu. Send troops in ten days, everyone, get ready as soon as possible."

After Cao Cao gave the order, his subordinates went to work.

 …

Along the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu and the others had 300,000 troops, and Yuan Shu also deployed 300,000 troops along the Yangtze River.

"My lord, Yuan Shu has deployed heavy troops. It is not easy for us to cross the river, so we should use external forces." Guo Jia suggested.

"Let's listen to it." Zhang Yu replied.

Guo Jia and Zhang Yu sat on a boat by the Yangtze River, drinking tea and looking at the river scenery.

Guo Jia took a sip of tea, and then said: "Master, in the past, others formed an alliance to attack us, this time we will form an alliance to attack Yuan Shu, although there are not many people in the alliance, but at least you are also the leader of the alliance, and you have the ability to command the princes of the world , that’s influence.”

"Invite Lu Bu and Sun Ce to hunt Yuan Shu together." Guo Jia said his idea.

Zhang Yu looked at the vast Yangtze River water, feeling a little ups and downs in his heart.

Order other princes, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops.

Sun Ce has long wanted to attack Yuan Shu, but his strength has not yet recovered, and Lu Bu has long wanted to attack Yuan Shu.

"It would be best to bring Cai Hao in, the momentum is not small," Zhang Yu said.

By forming an alliance to attack Yuan Shu, his momentum will be even greater.

In this way, Cao Cao was completely robbed of the limelight.

It is the responsibility of the emperor Liu Xie to crusade against Yuan Shu, which is what Cao Cao has to do. Now Zhang Yu has made a huge impact, forcing Cao Cao to send troops without preparation.

Under Zhang Yu's call, Lu Bu readily sent troops, and Sun Ce also built up his momentum.

In addition, Cai Mao wrote a letter to Liu Biao, expressing his intention to crusade against disobedient ministers.

Liu Biao dared not disagree. As a member of the Liu clan, it was also his responsibility to crusade against Yuan Shu.

Cai Mao took the opportunity to ask for soldiers and money to control more troops. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
