Chapter 384: The Beginning of the Struggle for Hegemony among the Kingdoms

Thank you for the reward from your brother!

In the land of Xiliang, when Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang were called emperors, and Sun insisted on being kings, Ma Teng and Guo Yan, who were cowering in Xiliang, were also a little unwilling to be lonely, or rather, they couldn't bear the ** in their hearts.

Of course, they are also somewhat self-aware, and understand that according to their own strength, not to mention that they are called emperors, even if they are called kings, they will make the world laugh, so they are just waiting, among which Ma Teng is self-established as Liang Hou, and Guo Yan is self-established as Qin Hou, and the two vassal states of Liang and Qin are rewarded respectively.

As for Zhang Lu in the secession of Guanzhong, this Heavenly Master Taoist Sect Master, it seems that he is really addicted to cultivation, he did not add any title to himself, just in the above letter of allegiance to Liu Zhang, he immediately devoted himself to his monastic career again.

Not to mention Zhang Lu, who has become a madman of cultivation, at this time, the position of the princes of the world has been greatly improved compared to when Emperor Han Xian was still there, but this is also inevitable, when Emperor Han Xian still existed, the orthodoxy of the Han family still existed in four hundred years, and no one dared to enter this minefield without authorization.

However, when today's son died suddenly, the four-hundred-year orthodoxy of the Han family automatically collapsed because there was no successor, and after Cao Cao became emperor, he announced to the world that he had inherited the orthodoxy of the Han family, and the new orthodoxy of the Wei family was erected on the ruins of the orthodoxy of the Han family.

However, compared with the four-hundred-year-old Han family, the orthodoxy of the Wei family, which has just been established and has not even arrived for a year, is obviously impossible to suppress the bull ghost and snake god named ** in the hearts of the princes of the world, just as Cao Cao said in the time and space of the previous life, if he did not turn the tide and seek the orthodoxy of the Han family, in this world, I don't know how many people are called kings and how many people are called emperors.

After Ma Teng and Guo Yan of Xiliang established themselves respectively, the evolution of this form of the world seems to have re-evolved into the early Warring States period, the most powerful state was still the Wei state, followed by the Shu Han and Jing Han who occupied the rich land, and then the Jiangdong Wu state, which had the first naval division in the world.

In the end, it was the Liang State and the Qin State established by Ma Teng and Guo Yan, and the world was further transformed from a situation of princes competing for supremacy to a struggle for hegemony among various countries.

The establishment of the six kingdoms of Wei, Shu Han, Jing Han, Wu, Liang, and Qin made the next war even more cruel, just because it was a war of all countries.

"Hehe, since the disappearance of the Han Emperor, the princes of the world really can't bear it, since they have called the emperor and the king, even Ma Teng and Guo Yan are not willing to be lonely Chen Hou, and established the Liang State and the Qin State."

The original Han Palace, now in the Wei Palace, looking at the news sent back by Jinyiwei, Cao Cao really didn't know what to say, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Sun Jian Forget it, people have that strength and name, you say that you Ma Teng and Guo Yan, if you want a name without a name, if you want strength without strength, you dare to wait, it is simply a big joke in the world.

Cao Cao is quite good, for Ma Teng and Guo Yan's name, it is just a smile, but the military attaches under his command are laughing, among which Xiahou Yuan, who has just returned to Daliang, is even more sarcastic: "These two people, no more than tens of thousands of soldiers, no more than a few counties, even arrogantly call themselves Hou, do they still think that the world is the past Spring and Autumn Period?" ”

The military attachés laughed, sarcastically mocking Ma Teng and Guo Yan's incompetence, but the civil officials are different, Xun Yu, who has become an important minister of the dynasty, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Ma Teng and Guo Yan are just clowns, I don't have to pay too much attention to them, what I really want to pay attention to is the three southern countries, recently there is intelligence that Sun Jian of Wu State frequently mobilized large armies, and troops came to Xuzhou, as for the puppet Han countries, the troops in them also looked like they were marching towards Yuzhou and Nanyang in our dynasty." If the three countries form an alliance, it will also be a big hidden danger for our dynasty, and we must pay attention to this. ”

When it comes to the Han State re-established by Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, whether it is a civil official or a military attaché, there is a touch of disgust on their faces, not only because the Han State established by the two has no way to compare with the orthodox Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, but also because the existence of these two countries is simply a kind of red for the orthodoxy of the Wei State. Bare. Naked provocation, this is unbearable.

Therefore, in order to determine the extinction of the Han dynasty and the correctness of the Wei state's inheritance of the Han dynasty's orthodoxy, the entire Wei state, for the two Han states in the south, are collectively called the puppet Han, just as the two Han states are collectively referred to as the puppet dynasty, which is a form of expression of the Guda orthodoxy dispute.

Waving his hand, Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's okay, since the sudden death of the Han Emperor, I have long thought of such a day, not to mention, what about the Three Kingdoms Alliance, I really don't believe it, for the battle for orthodoxy, the two Han countries, which are almost bleeding, will really work together, since ancient times, although the allies are powerful, but they are also the most prone to collapse, as long as they can block the first wave of attacks from the allies, and then, just wait for them to mess up." ”

Although Cao Cao said it very easily, he was actually a little worried in his heart, if the three southern countries really formed a coalition army, then the next war would not be small, from Xuzhou to Nanyang, and even Guanzhong could fall into the flames of war, such a huge war, if it could, Cao Cao really didn't want to see it.

It's a pity that Emperor Han Xian died too early, otherwise, I might be able to break them one by one.

Cao Cao sighed secretly in his heart, although he was still a little unwilling for the sudden death of Emperor Han Xian, but that's all, if the Three Kingdoms really formed an alliance, Cao Cao was not afraid, a year of recuperation, it was still a little impossible to go on the expedition, but if it was defended, it was more than enough.

However, I didn't expect Wu Jun's strength to be so strong.

Thinking about it, Sun Jian beat the barbarians in the south in less than a year, Cao Cao felt a little stuffy, the princes after the Tang Dynasty fought for hegemony, at least they had to worry about the threat from the barbarians, and those princes sometimes could use the power of the barbarians to drag each other or help themselves.

But in the Three Kingdoms era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is obviously impossible, even if the world was divided at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the powerful Han Empire fell into the civil strife of the princes, but did not dare to be Cao Cao, Cao Pi and his son, or Jiangdong's Sun Jian and his son, Liu Bei's father and son in Shu, it seems very easy to hang and beat the barbarians.
