Chapter 261 is called the public opinion

"The Son of the World knows me?" Seeing Liu Chan directly say his name, Xu Shu looked quite surprised, and at the same time returned the salute.

"Hahaha!" Liu Chan was about to speak, but Liu Bei laughed and said: "Yuan Zhi doesn't know yet, Adou often hears me talk about you, but I can't forget you." After he learned that Yi Desheng had captured Xiahou Yuan, he sent me a letter and asked me to use Xiahou Yuan to exchange you back, earlier than I thought. ”

Liu Bei said this beautifully, saying that he often mentioned Xu Shu, which exempted him from the embarrassment that he didn't think of exchanging Xiahou Yuan for Xu Shu at the beginning. He also said that it was Liu Chan who proposed it, and put this kindness on Liu Chan, so that Xu Shu would be grateful to Liu Chan.

After all, Liu Bei also knew that he was also old, and he had to let Liu Chan exert kindness on Wenwu.

"How can Shu He De make the lord and the prince so concerned!" Sure enough, Xu Shu's eyes were rosy when he heard this, and he was moved by Liu Bei.

"My father often talks to me about Mr. on weekdays, when Mr. was forced to take refuge in Cao Cao, as soon as I heard that the third uncle captured Xiahou Yuan, I thought of Mr." Liu Chan's perfect kindness was placed on Liu Bei.

"Lord......" Xu Shu was already choked up when he spoke, if he wasn't in a hurry at the moment, he was afraid that Xu Shu would have to get off the horse and bow down.

Xu Shu is a great talent in the world, although he took refuge in Cao Cao, but he also vowed not to give him a plan for his life, otherwise with Xu Shu's ability, his status at this moment is on Cao Wei's side, and he should not be under Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and others.

If his talent cannot be displayed, the depression in Xu Shu's heart can be imagined, and now Xu Shu can return to Liu Bei and display his talent, this is the grace of knowledge, how can Xu Shu not be moved.

The team continued to move forward, Xu Shu looked at Liu Chan in the carriage, and couldn't help but say: "When I left the lord, the son was only one year old, and now the son is only eight years old, he actually looks so tall!" ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Yun Chang, the son of Yide, is already able to kill the enemy!" ”

The two recounted their old love as they returned to the city.

The pace of the march was quite slow, the streets in the city were narrow, and the march was even slower, and it was already noon when they reached the city office.

A group of civil and military personnel followed to the mansion, and Liu Chan immediately asked the back kitchen to hold a banquet.

Liu Chan sat beside Liu Bei, and on the left and right sides of His Royal Highness sat the civil and military ministers, Liu Bei raised his glass and said: "This time, Bei was able to defeat the Cao thief and seize the land of Hanzhong, all thanks to your merits, and Bei only toasted you with this bottle of wine." ”

"My lord, please!" Everyone raised their glasses together.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Fei became interested, and ordered the soldiers to change to a big bowl, he drank a big bowl of wine, and said loudly: "Big brother, this battle is really happy, the first battle of Baozhong, the first battle of Yangpingguan, killed more than 50,000 Cao troops, and now brother, you are already sitting on half of the world."

The military advisor caught fire and almost burned the Cao thief to death. If it weren't for the fact that our army's Jingzhou soldiers and horses were not adaptable, the training days of Yizhou sergeants were short, and they were not good at large-scale battle formations, they would definitely defeat Cao Thief in one fell swoop, hit Guanzhong, and recover the Central Plains! ”

Liu Bei's eyes were also full of smiles, and he nodded and said: "Well, now that Hanzhong has been taken, the day of the restoration of the Central Plains is not far away!" ”

"Congratulations, my lord!"

"Congratulations, my lord!"

All the civilians and warriors chanted in unison.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It's all the work of the ranks, but Cao Cao is not dead, Xuchang is not down, and the Central Plains is not decided, so we still can't slack off!" ”

"yes!"

"My lord is right!"

His Highness nodded their heads.

Only Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and was silent.

Liu Chan also felt that something was not quite right at the moment.

The atmosphere is not right! In the past, Liu Bei faced Cao Cao, which was repeatedly defeated, but now in the head-to-head confrontation with Cao Cao in Hanzhong, he suddenly achieved such a big victory, and the soldiers were proud and slack.

Although Liu Bei and the civil and military personnel kept saying that they could not slack off, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were keenly aware of this atmosphere.

When Liu Bei said this, he was just going through the motions, but Liu Chan saw the smugness in his eyes.

"Lord!" Liu Chanzheng noticed this atmosphere, and His Royal Highness Fa Zheng stood up and arched his hand and said: "The lord's benevolence and righteousness are written in the four seas, and he is the orthodox royal family, the emperor and uncle of the Son of Heaven." There are two rivers and Jing, two states,

Now Cao Cao was defeated in Hanzhong, the lord has sat on half of the world, with hundreds of thousands of armor, the ministers are like clouds, the fierce generals are like rain, the general trend of the world has been attributed to the lord, dare to ask the lord to enter the Duke of Shu, and then edict the people of the world to fight against Cao thief and dominate the world! ”

Hearing this, Liu Chan's face changed, His Royal Highness Zhuge Liang looked like Liu Chan, and Xu Shu's face was slightly gloomy.

And the other civil and military generals are happy.

Zhang Fei even took the case and said: "Fa Xiaozhi said it well, please take the eldest brother to the Duke of Shu!" ”

Liu Chan was about to stand up and object, but saw His Highness Zhuge Liang shaking his head at himself.

Liu Chan suppressed the thoughts in his heart and sat down temporarily.

Historically, after Liu Bei seized Hanzhong, he was promoted to the throne as the king of Hanzhong under the support of the military generals of Wenchen.

Now, Fa Zheng is suggesting that Liu Bei be the public.

Because at this moment, Cao Cao has not yet been crowned king, so Fa Zheng suggested that Liu Bei be called the prince and be the same as Cao Cao.

If Liu Bei directly claims the king, it may expose too much ambition, lose the hearts of the people in the world, and is more likely to attract Wei and Wu to join forces.

Therefore, Liu Bei can only follow Cao Cao, Cao Cao is called the duke, Liu Bei is called the duke, Cao Cao is called the king, Liu Bei is the king, if Cao Cao is the emperor, Liu Bei is the emperor.

But Liu Chan knew that if the Han court was there, Liu Bei would not be able to call him a prince or a king.

Because of the defeat of the Battle of Xiangfan in history, the fundamental reason was caused by Liu Bei's claim to be king.

Because after Liu Bei became king, he gave Guan Yu the right to fake the festival.

The false festival is the supremacy given by the king to the general, and the military general does not need to consult the king in wartime, but can also kill the soldiers who have broken the law in the army.

Guan Yu sat in Jingzhou, and after Liu Bei became king, he gave Guan Yu the right to leave the festival. Guan Yu could start a war on his own without notifying Liu Bei in advance.

This is also the reason why the battle of Guan Yu and Xiangfan has been fought for so long, and Liu Bei does not lead troops to support, because this is a war launched by Guan Yu himself, Liu Bei didn't know it at first, and after the situation deteriorated, it was too late for Liu Bei to support.

Now that Liu Bei is the public, he may also give Guan Yu the right to take a holiday, with Guan Yu's temperament, once he gets this right, he is afraid that Pang Tong will not be able to stop him.

And with the relationship between Liu Chan and Guan Yu, he can't stop Liu Bei from giving Guan Yu a holiday, firstly, Liu Bei will not agree, and secondly, this matter was leaked out, and Liu Chan offended not only Guan Yu, but also other civil and military ministers.

What does it mean that the Lord has rewarded us, and you have come to oppose it? Are you reluctant to wait for the general?

Therefore, once Liu Chan opposes it, he may lose the support of the civil and military ministers.

And there is another big disadvantage of being called a prince and a king.

The dream of the military generals of Wenchen is to be crowned as a general, a wife and a son, once he is called the king, Liu Bei will have to reward the ministers, the dream of the military generals of Wenchen has been achieved, how can you expect them to work hard to fight?
