Several people's minds turned sharply, and they made up their minds almost in an instant - the signboard of Kuangfu Han Room can be thrown away!

Of course, throwing signboards is throwing signboards, and they will never openly raise the banner of rebellion or self-reliance, and now they still need to keep a low profile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what I said today is from the bottom of my heart, the world is in turmoil, disputes are continuous, and the people of Li have suffered heavy casualties. In order to reduce the damage, here, Cao formally proposed, dividing the sphere of influence. ”

Several people immediately became interested when they heard this, and looked at Cao Cao with their eyes, Cao Cao obviously came prepared, beckoned, and the guards immediately sent a large map.

", Ninghou, Xuande, Wentai, Fengxian, we are five people here, Cao proposes to divide the world into five parts, one part for each person, and before completely conquering this part, it is forbidden to expand to other regions. And the five of us will form a secret alliance to help each other, expel the other princes first, reduce the intensity of the war as much as possible, and wait until a suitable opportunity, and then the five of us will find a way to decide the co-lord of the world! ”

Listening to Cao Cao's proposal, everyone's heartbeat unconsciously jumped a little faster.

Now, except for Shang Ji, there is no one to completely control the land of a state independently, if according to Cao Cao's proposal, the fifteen states in the world (Duochen Prefecture, Pingzhou) and two major metropolitan protectorates (Western Regions Protectorate and Grassland Protectorate), a total of seventeen state-level administrative units, on average, each person can get more than three states of self-reserved land, this temptation is not small.

You must know that at this time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were still only one county, and their territory suddenly expanded more than ten times, this temptation is not ordinary.

Seeing that everyone did not raise objections, Cao Cao was more energetic, and hurriedly stood up, pointed to Yutu and said, "Ninghou is in the Northeast, Fengxian is in Bingzhou, a certain and Xuande are in Yuzhou, and Wentai is in Jingzhou." We can annex the other princes first, integrate the world initially, stop the riots, and then discuss the rest of the matter. ”

Everyone was silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence to Cao Cao's opinion.

Cao Cao was even more proud when he saw this, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Brother Wentai, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, including Yazhou and Yizhou (non-state-level administrative units, attached to Jiaozhou and Yangzhou respectively), these three states are entrusted to Brother Wentai, what does Brother Wentai think?" ”

Of course, Sun Jian had no opinion, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

Cao Cao then turned his head to look at Lu Bu and said softly: "Brother Fengxian, how about entrusting Brother Fengxian with the Protectorate of Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and the Western Regions?" ”

Lu Bu frowned slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Liu Bei again: "Brother Xuande, how about bothering you to control Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou?" ”

Shang Ji frowned when he heard this, but he didn't interrupt at the exit, but Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Beide is thin and talented, how can you control the land of Sanzhou?" It is already an honor to be able to seek some well-being for the people of Xu and Henan, and dare to covet Qingzhou again? ”

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Liu Bei to take the initiative to refuse the land of Yizhou, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood that Liu Bei was afraid of offending Shangji!

The strength of the Shang Ji army and the navy is well known, in terms of the terrain of Qingzhou, there is no strong sailor, it is simply mermaid meat, Liu Bei took the initiative to give up Qingzhou, which can be regarded as a show of goodwill to the Shang Ji.

"Xuande Gaoyi, admire below."

Cao Cao bowed his hand to Liu Bei, then turned to look at Shang Ji, and his smile became even brighter: "Ninghou has a consensus in the world, and I also ask Ninghou to take over Hebei and Qingdao Prefectures for the sake of Li Min." ”

"Yes!"

Shang Ji was expressionless and gently spit out a word.

Cao Cao couldn't see what Shang Ji was thinking, so he could only clench his fists and arch his hands.

After placing the four of them, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "it, I am willing to temporarily manage Yan, Si (Sizhou, that is, Si Li's Captain's Department), and Yi Sanzhou, I don't know what you think?" ”

The four of them naturally have no opinions, anyway, this is just a rough division, and in the actual operation, it is not who is stronger and who eats more? Could it be that Liu Bei occupied Nanyang and would not be repaid to Sun Jian?

This division plan is destined to be only a beautiful vision, take Cao Cao as an example, after he won the entire territory of Yanzhou and Sizhou, he will leave Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou next to him, and go over the mountains to fight Yizhou? How much water does it take for your brain to do this!

In the same way, after Lu Bu really completely controlled Bingzhou and Liangzhou, why didn't Lu Bu go to the prosperous Sizhou and choose to go to the Western Regions to eat sand?

The princes knew this problem, but no one broke it, and maintained the superficial harmony.

And it's easy to open up the territory on the map, but if you really want to achieve the above ideal state, it's not so simple.

Sun Jian wants to occupy Jingzhou, has he asked Liu Biao's opinion? Cao Cao wants to dominate Sizhou, is it really easy to bully Diao Chan? Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are despised, no one dares to boast that they can win the two!

In an atmosphere of harmony, the five princes completed the task of dominating the world (on the map). Later, the five of them further strengthened their ties and formulated agreements on the promotion of trade, stipulating that goods within the territory of the five would be exchanged and the safety of the caravans would be ensured.

At the same time, at the strong request of Shang Ji, the alliance also added an additional clause - any one of the five people who was invaded by barbarians, or went out to educate barbarians, could invite the other four to help on the basis of paying a certain amount of money, and the other four people could not refuse without a valid reason.

It needs to be explained that the barbarians here do not refer to the alien races of the Qiang, Xiongnu, and Shanyue people, but the true barbarians such as Annam, Yingzhou, Rakshasa and Dashi.

It took two hours before and after, and the five finally finalized all the details of the alliance, and Chen Qun was entrusted by the princes to draft the alliance.

The five people burned incense and worshipped, sacrificed three animals, and signed a covenant together, and a secret alliance composed of Shang Ji, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian was formally established.

Because of the conclusion of the Covenant, the division of the spoils of war, which was originally quite laborious, was much simpler.

More than 700,000 prisoners of war were divided equally among the five families after a brief discussion, and each family had 146,000 people.

The merchants of gold and silver wealth did not take a penny, and also took the initiative to give up the competition for the captured military generals of the Xiliang Army, in exchange for the priority of half of the collected unique book cheats.

The rest of the people took what they needed, and when there was a conflict, the others were responsible for mediating, stumbling, and it took a day to finalize the division of the spoils.

In general, they were all satisfied, in addition to getting nearly 200 sets of unique edition classics, Shang Ji also harvested 200,000 high-level war horses, 12 high-level special props, 8 divine (demonic) weapons, 267 heaven-level equipment, more than 3,000 ground-level equipment, 160,000 sets of Yinhui-level equipment, 90,000 sets of Jinmang-level equipment, 50,000 sets of Ziyao-level equipment, and 4,000 sets of spiritual weapons.

However, a large amount of equipment in the set is in a damaged state, and it will take a lot of effort to repair it.

In addition to these, the merchant also distributed a large amount of miscellaneous goods, including wagons, kerosene, tents, ropes, arrows, and so on.
