Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "since we can't attack Cao Cao, then we can agree to Cao Cao's conditions of seeking peace. However, Cao Cao's three requests, that is, to establish the king and to move the capital, are open to question. "
Zhang Xiu said: "I don't agree with the move of the capital. Once the capital is moved and the emperor is taken to Chang'an, a sharp sword is hanging above our heads. Although this is beneficial, it brings numerous troubles. So, I'm not going to agree to move the capital. Of course, it is very likely that Cao Cao himself has predicted that we can not agree with him. "
Sima Yi said, "what the LORD said is true."
Huang Zhong said, "Lord, where is the king?"
There was a look of expectation in his eyes. As a general, he wanted Zhang Xiu to be king. Because Zhang Xiu is known as the queen, as a general, he will rise with the tide.
Zhao Yun, Sha Moke, Zhang Yan and others all looked at Zhang Xiu.
Everyone is looking forward to Zhang Xiu's answer.
Including Sima Yi.
Sima Yi, as a wise man, knew that in the troubled times, the spirit of the great man was in danger. Especially after Huang Jin's rebellion, Dong Zhuo's rebellion and Li Xi's and Guo Si's rebellion, the loyalty of the people in the world to the Han Dynasty has been decreasing.
Among all the princes in the world, few are loyal to the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that the Han Dynasty has long existed in name, and the real loyalty is very few. Therefore, in Sima Yi's heart, he also agreed with Zhang Xiu as king.
Not to be king is not to show power.
If you are not a king, you cannot go any further.
Zhang Xiu raised a smile and said: "Cao Cao took the initiative to grant me the title of king of Qin by the order of the emperor. Although Cao Cao's intention is to roast me on the fire, it is an imperial edict issued in the name of the emperor. It is the emperor's appointment, not my initiative to become king. "
"How can you disagree with such a good feeling."
"If people want to criticize me, they will also criticize Cao Cao. I will bear the pressure, and so will Cao Cao. What's the fear? "
Zhang Xiu said, "I'm not afraid to be king."
Hearing this, he rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Your Majesty is wise!"
His heart was full of joy.
As the man king of Wuxi man, he was the man of Zhang Xiu after he was subordinated to Zhang Xiu. Now that Zhang Xiu has become the king of Qin, it's too right for him to serve. Even his address changed directly.
The rest congratulated.
Everyone thanks together, with a look of joy on their faces.
Zhang Xiu no longer said much and immediately arranged for Guo Jia to come.
In fact, when Guo Jia was waiting not far away, he didn't see Zhang Xiu for a long time. In fact, he was a little nervous. If Zhang Xiu refuses, what can he do to turn the tide.
However, when Guo Jia received the order from the soldiers and Zhang Xiu summoned him, his face was uneasy and disappeared. All worries, all down, not superficial.
Guo Jia stood up with a confident and calm look. With a smile on his face, he came to Zhang Xiu with the soldiers and said, "Taiwei!"
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "the conditions of Cao Cao have been agreed by our officials."
Guo Jia was very happy.
However, Guo Jia did not reveal anything. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Taiwei is wise. It's just the so-called combination that benefits both sides. Now, if Taiwei and Sikong attack each other, they will only increase the casualties. "
Zhang xiuzhengse way: "you mentioned three requests, moving the capital is not necessary, just the king can."
Guo Jia said: "is Taiwei really not moving the capital?"
Zhang Xiu said: "no, a man like the emperor is suitable for Cao Sikong."
Guo Jia said: "now that Taiwei has approved, I'll return immediately. I'd like to ask Sikong to issue an imperial edict in the name of the emperor to make Taiwei king of Qin. Since Taiwei has agreed, please withdraw immediately and return to Nanyang County. "
"Withdraw?"
Zhang Xiu snorted: "Cao Cao has not fulfilled his task. How can I withdraw my troops?"
Although the situation in Liangzhou is critical, Zhang Xiu can't be in a hurry.
Only in this way can we bluff Cao Cao.
Once Cao Cao is now aware of the turmoil in Liangzhou, he is likely not to be soft again. Instead, he will pose as a great war. Zhang Xiu does not want to see such a result.
Guo Jia didn't know the news of Liangzhou. He said in a deep voice: "Zhang Taiwei, there should be basic honesty between people. Please believe in Sikong. Since it's a promise, Sikong will carry it out. Similarly, ask Taiwei to withdraw. "
Zhang Xiu was silent.
Guo Jia continued: "what's more, after putting aside the position of Taiwei and Sikong against the enemy, the two sides eased relations. Then, Taiwei and Sikong are Weng's son-in-law. Is there anything you can't trust between Weng and son-in-law? "
"All right!"
Zhang Xiu said with a straight face: "all the words have come to this point. The withdrawal of our officers is the only way."
"Thank you, captain."
Guo Jia answered immediately.
Zhang Xiu continued: "my army is stationed at the border of Luyang County for the time being. When you return to Xu county, let Cao Cao issue an imperial edict immediately. I will wait at the border until Cao Cao's edict is delivered. Within eight days, Cao Cao's edict was not delivered. I immediately sent troops to attack Fucheng county and then went straight to Xu county. You should be clear that I can do what I say. ""Good!"
Guo Jia answered directly.
"Goodbye!"
Guo Jia left immediately. After Guo Jia left, Zhang Xiu also ordered to withdraw and quickly retreat to the border of Luyang county. When Zhang Xiu returns to the border of Luyang County, he first arranges Zhang Yan to leave Luyang county and go to Chang'an in Guanzhong.
In addition, only a few Baima Yicong left under Zhao Yun's command also withdrew first. After finishing all this, Zhang Xiu arranged for Wang Yue to immediately send an order to Ganning to withdraw from Hanoi county and to Chang'an.
After everything is arranged, Zhang Xiu will be stationed temporarily. As for Huang Zhong's troops, Zhang Xiu does not intend to mobilize them. In a short period of time, Huang Zhong should continue to be in Nanyang County in order to deal with possible accidents.
When everything was arranged properly, Zhang Xiu waited quietly.
Although he was anxious about the situation in Liangzhou, he couldn't. As time went by, it was not until the eighth or seventh day that officials of the imperial court came to issue orders.
This time, it was Xun you.
Xun you himself came to announce the emperor's edict to Zhang Xiu.
In fact, the arrangement of the imperial edict caused a great disturbance in the court. Countless people loyal to the emperor's family were shocked, and even Liu Xie was furious.
However, Cao Cao and Zhang kuozi, especially in the face of the appointment of a strong emperor.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Xiu looked at Xun you and said, "Mr. Xun, I am king of Qin. I guess the world will change soon. For example, sun ce of Jiangdong, Liu Bei of Yuzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou will be king one after another. This case can not be opened, but once there is a leader, it will spring up like mushrooms
After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "in the world, there will be countless people to be king. I suggest that when you go back, you can make Cao Cao king. If Cao Cao doesn't become king, I'm afraid everyone under his command will be dissatisfied. "
When Xun you heard the speech, he felt a thump in his heart.
This was not considered before. Now when Zhang Xiu said it, Xun you understood it immediately.
Xun you didn't say much and left directly.
Zhang Xiu did not stay, but left Nanyang County with Wang Yue, Sima Yi and others to Guanzhong.
