"Sister, can you help me try on this dress?"
As a concubine, Queen Guo respected Zhen Mi very much.
Even though Zhen Mi is no longer favored by Cao Pi, especially due to the rumors caused by Liu Mang, it is rumored that Cao Zhi is interested in this sister-in-law.
Queen Guo was so well-behaved that Zhen Mi gradually dropped her guard against her.
Especially the other party, who told her painful experience in Tongque, and how she narrowly escaped death many times before gaining Cao Pi's appreciation.
Most women are emotional creatures, Zhen Mi naively thought that the other party was a pitiful woman like her.
Zhen Mi put on the clothes made of Shu brocade without hesitation, but Cao Pi quickly pushed open the door and entered!
Today, Cao Cao is coming to the mansion for dinner!
Seeing Zhen Mi dressed like this, Cao Pi was furious and slapped her indiscriminately.
"Bitch! You are trying to kill me!"
"My father comes to the palace to have a meal. Even he himself has to wear plain clothes, but you use the so-called Wolong Brocade?"
Cao Pi said angrily: "Bitch, you just lied about being sick in bed and don't come out to see anyone!"
Zhen Mi was beaten so much that she panicked, but Queen Guo comforted her for a few words, and then appeared in front of Cao Cao justifiably.
Because he was once a bronze bird, he is very good at observing words and emotions.
Queen Guo's few words made Cao Cao extremely happy.
He praised Cao Pi's concubines many times, but forgot about Zhen Mi who was bedridden.
Queen Guo also did not forget the transaction with Zhuge Liang and informed Wolong of all the recent events in the court.
…
Chengdu.
Liu Bei sat upright and looked at the civil servants and generals under his command.
"Everyone, our army is now in Yizhou! After this year, the Shu Road is connected to many places, and our army is even more energetic."
"Prepare the decision, arm your troops and your horses, and aim directly at Liangzhou!"
When Liu Bei spoke, the most positive responses were from Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Pang De.
The third brother of Xiliang has always dreamed of fighting back to Liangzhou and regaining his hometown.
"My lord is wise! Meng Qi is willing to be the vanguard and capture Liangzhou for my lord!"
"I am also willing to go!"
"Thanks to my lord for not giving up, Pang De is willing to accompany you on the expedition!"
Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the other civil and military officials.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, not to express his opinion.
Fa Zhengze holds the floating dust in his hands, seemingly thoughtful.
Lu Xun's face was like a flat lake, but in fact he frowned and said nothing.
Although these three are outstandingly talented, Liu Bei wanted to know what his own son was thinking more.
Huh...ha...
There was an untimely snoring sound beside him, which made Liu Bei frown.
Liu Mang was sleeping soundly at this time. Although his snoring was not as loud as that of his third brother Zhang Fei, it was still heard clearly by Liu Bei.
"You traitor! Why do you have the nerve to sleep when the court is discussing politics?"
Liu Bei scolded: "If you sleep again in the future, you don't have to come to court!"
Liu Mang rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and said with a smile: "Dad, why don't you go to court? Is there such a good thing?"
you……
Liu Bei was so angry that Liu Mang only did three things this year - eating, sleeping, and being angry with his father!
"Sleep day and night, why don't you get enough sleep?"
"Dad! You can stand and talk without pain in your back!"
Liu Mang frowned and said, "Ever since I got married, you have been urging me day and night to have a grandson!"
"My dear father, I am so filial, I must obey him!"
"You only see me sleepy during the day, but you don't see me working hard late at night!"
Liu Bei's old face turned red, "You traitor! Isn't it wrong for a father to want to have a grandson?"
I thought Liu Mang would refute, but the other party said directly: "Ah! Yes, yes, yes!"
This attitude once again made Liu Bei tremble.
"Now that you're awake, let's talk about it! My father plans to attack Liangzhou and seize this place so that our army can raise war horses!"
Liu Bei was pleased with himself, and he must have agreed.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mang looked at Liu Bei doubtfully, which made him very puzzled.
"What? You don't say much about your father?"
"This...is really wrong!"
Um?
Liu Bei said angrily: "If you have something to say, why don't you say it quickly? Now that Yizhou has been secured, Hanzhong has been returned to the people, and why not capture Liangzhou for my father?"
All civil and military officials were equally puzzled. Only Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and Lu Xun were aware of Liu Mang's worries.
"Dad, before you said that, you were just a mere commander, living in a new country. It's okay if you don't have an official position!"
"Now that we have the four counties of Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jingnan and Hanzhong, Cao Cao can be king. Do you still want to be a mat weaver and shoe seller?"
"Besides! Your uncles have followed you up mountains of swords and seas of fire. Now that they are prosperous, don't you want to help them get promoted and make a fortune? Who will be willing to work with you in the future?"
After hearing this, all the generals gave thumbs up.
They understood that Liu Bei wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, but the brothers also wanted to get promoted and make a fortune.
There is actually no conflict between the two.
Liu Bei did not hesitate to award rewards, but Cao Cao's official position as the king of Wei was completely different from that of Liu Bei, the general of the left and the governor of Yuzhou.
"My lord, Liang is sure that you will be crowned King of Hanzhong!"
Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted, and then all the officials shouted: "I beg you, my lord, to be crowned King of Hanzhong!"
Phew...King of Hanzhong!
Liu Bei took a deep breath. He was not in a hurry to become king before because Yizhou was still undecided and the people didn't know him yet.
Now, after one year, the return of Hanzhong to the people is proceeding in an orderly manner.
In Yizhou, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Liu Bei is truly stronger than Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son!
"Brother, you have been crowned King of Hanzhong, which is highly anticipated by everyone!"
"Brother! Let alone the King of Hanzhong, you will become the emperor, and I agree!"
The two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei always stood firmly by Liu Bei's side.
"Okay! I'm not going to refuse anymore!"
That year, Fazheng built an altar in Mianyang, with a radius of nine miles and distributed in five directions, with flags and ceremonial guards on each side.
All ministers are arranged in order.
Zhuge Liang and Fazheng invited Liu Bei to the altar. After entering the imperial palace, he sat down facing south and received congratulations from civil and military officials as the King of Hanzhong.
Liu Mang was established as the crown prince.
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu were granted the title of Taifu, among whom Wolong was in charge of military and state affairs!
Fa Zheng was the minister, and Lu Xun was the military advisor. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong were awarded the title of Five Tiger Generals, and the other generals each received rewards.
Everyone in Liu Bei's army was happy, and even more so in the places under his rule.
The news that Liu Bei ascended the throne as King of Hanzhong undoubtedly deeply hurt Cao Cao!
…
Xuchang.
"How dare you do this, little mat weaver! I swear to destroy you!"
A mat weaver and shoe seller who was once like a bird in a cage and a fish in a net under his command!
Now, like Cao Cao, he has become a king!
Cao Cao immediately sent an order to mobilize all his troops and go to Liangchuan to fight Liu Bei again.
"Your Majesty, please do not go on an expedition in a moment of anger."
"The humble minister has a plan. He doesn't need to use his bow and arrows, so that Liu Bei will suffer his own disaster in Shu. When his troops are weakened and exhausted, he only needs one general to conquer them, and he will be successful."
Cao Cao looked at this man and couldn't help but look happy. This man must have a good plan!
