Chapter 493 Persuading Cao Cao

"Hahaha, maybe." Lv Bu said with a smile. Although Lv Bu does intend to take Liu Bei and Cao Cao back to Chang'an, in Lv Bu's opinion, even if Liu Bei is left in Xuzhou, it is not a big deal.

Although Xuzhou has a vast territory, it is a state of the Han Dynasty, but compared with Lv Bu's current strength, what is a state? Xuzhou is close to the sea and is surrounded by Qingzhou Yanzhou and Yangzhou. If Liu Bei wants to expand his power, he can only fight with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu alive Lv Bu. However, with Liu Bei's current strength, these three families can't afford to provoke him, which means that although Liu Bei has a state in Xuzhou, he can't expand his strength. , can only survive in the branches of the three families, and now that Yuan Shu is about to die, Liu Bei's only hope is to occupy Yuan Shu's hometown. Unfortunately, Lv Bu will not let all this happen. Therefore, although Liu Bei is now the head of a state, he is actually just living under Lv Bu's eyes, as long as Liu Bei With the slightest sign of strength, Lv Bu will strangle Liu Bei in the cradle. Therefore, although Xuzhou is Liu Bei's birthplace, it is also a dead place. The situation in Xuzhou determines that Liu Bei can only be the position of the head of a state, but it is impossible to reach a higher level, which is why Lv Bu rest assured that Liu Bei stays in Xuzhou.

"It seems that Cheng has also calculated long ago compared with Liu Bei in Xuzhou." Looking at Lv Bu's expression, Cao Cao already knew that Lv Bu had a plan for Liu Bei in Xuzhou, so he continued to say, "Songwu Sun Ce, young and strong, with many soldiers and generals. I don't know what the Prime Minister thinks?" Seeing Lv Bu's expression, Cao Cao continued.

"Hahaha, although Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, I don't know if Cao Gong thinks that Sun Ce's force is better than me, Lv Bu?" Lv Bu said with a smile. It is rumored that Sun Ce and Lv Bu do have many similarities. Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, but Lv Bu's force dominates the world, but it is also a rare opponent. Compared with Sun Ce's prestige, it is only high or low. No wonder Lv Bu heard that Sun Ce's name is just hahaha.

"In this way, I'm afraid there are no heroes in the world who can stop the Prime Minister." Hearing what Lv Bu said, Cao Cao said slowly.

"Haha, Mr. Cao, you also think so. It seems that no one in the world can stop my footsteps." Lv Bu stared at Cao Cao and said. To put it bluntly, what Lv Bu was most afraid of was Cao Cao. Except for Cao Cao, even if the other princes were ambitious, they were not in the climate at this time. Those who became the climate were not strong enough. In short, Lv Bu was confident to defeat them one by one.

"Cao Gong, you have really come here." At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice, and then I saw a figure breaking in. This person was not someone else, but Guo Jia who was brought by Lv Bu.

"Feng filial piety is really you?" Hearing Guo Jia's voice, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up. Guo Jia is Cao Cao's most important minister, but he has been separated since the First Battle of Sizhou. At this time, he was very happy to see Guo Jia and Cao Cao.

"Lord, I finally saw you." Seeing Cao Cao, Guo Jia was also very happy and quickly turned his head down to worship.

The two hugged each other and cried like this.

"Cao Cao, now that you are gone, I don't know if you are willing to help me. People all over the world say that you are the capable minister of governing the world and the hero of troubled times. I don't know if you are willing to be the capable minister under my account? Looking at the expression of Cao Cao and the country, Lv Bu's face was slightly solemn. Although he had long known that Cao Cao and Guo Jia were deeply in love, it seemed that the feelings between them had exceeded Lv Bu's imagination.

"Hahaha, it depends on whether the Prime Minister has the ability to control his subordinates?" Hearing Lv Bu's words, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and said firmly to Lv Bu.

"Since ancient times, the fate of the world has often been in the hands of the emperor. The Han Dynasty also prospered because of Liu Bang and Han Wu, and declined because of the two emperors of Hengling. I don't know what Cao Gong thinks about this?" After listening to Cao Cao's words, Lv Bu did not answer directly, but asked Cao Cao.

"Since ancient times, the replacement of the imperial dynasty has been caused by fate. If the fate returns, the imperial dynasty will flourish. The replacement of the imperial dynasty is just the use of fate." Cao Cao said after thinking about it for a moment.

"Hahaha. Lord Cao's words are wrong. The change of the imperial dynasty since ancient times is not a fate, but a man-made disaster. I should uphold the will of all people, abolish the imperial power, and reorganize the rivers and mountains. I don't know if Cao Gong can help Lv Bu? Lv Bu laughed and said something that Cao Cao and Guo Jia didn't expect at all in front of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

"I don't know how the Prime Minister is going to reorganize the rivers and mountains?" Half a sound, Cao Cao asked with a puzzled face. The matter of Lü Bu's abolition of imperial power. Cao Cao had heard about it for a long time, but Cao Cao didn't care at that time. He just thought that this was Lv Bu's step to strengthen his rights, but it seemed that there was something strange.

"I am ready to replace the power of the emperor with the power of the prime minister. The prime minister is responsible for the prime minister's government and has full authority to deal with national affairs. The emperor is only a nominal leader of the country. I don't know what Cao Gong thinks?" Lv Bu slowly turned around and said solemnly to Cao Cao. Lv Bu's idea has been around for a long time and has even been implemented. It's just that he has always been unable to find anyone to discuss it. Although Xun Yu has Wang Zuozhi's talent, he can't help at all in this matter. Therefore, Lv Bu has always been able to think alone. At this time, it is not enough to meet Cao Cao, his former opponent, the hero among the princes. Lv Bu can negotiate well. Look Look at Cao Cao's reaction.

"Is it persuasion to replace the imperial power? The struggle between prime power and imperial power has been there since ancient times, but as far as I know, this kind of struggle is not conducive to the strength of the imperial court. Cao Cao thought for a moment and then said.

"Ha ha, what I'm talking about is not the struggle between the two powers, and the right to sleep completely replaces the imperial power." Lv Bu said seriously.

"So what do you use to check and balance the power? You don't want to create an emperor who is not an emperor, do you? Cao Cao said suspiciously.

"I want to establish a Senate. This Senate will be composed of the most powerful people in the country. These people can decide who will be the prime minister. What do you think?" Lu Bu continued.

"So who should decide the members of this sensor' association?" Cao Cao asked again.

"The elders' association implements a lifelong system. In the future, the supplement of the elders can be discussed and decided by all the elders. I don't know if Cao Gong is interested in becoming one of the elders behind the Han Dynasty?" In Cao Cao's surprised expression, Lv Bu said something that surprised Cao Cao the most. Although Lv Bu was shocked and had the upper hand and had the ability to completely suppress Cao Cao in his own hands, Lv Bu was not ready to do so. Instead, he was ready to tie Cao Cao to his own warship together, so as to make his warship stronger. As for whether his descendants could control and shouting the warship, Lv Bu was not I don't care. In Lv Bu's view, even if his descendants can't control this powerful warship, with the existence of such a system, the power of the big man's warship is unmatched by other forces.

"I don't know if the Prime Minister is ready to bring his other princes into the Senate together?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he was obviously very interested in Lv Bu's proposal. You should know that in Lv Bu's hands, the Cao family and the Xia Hou family had only one end, that is, the demise. On the contrary, if they cooperate with Lv Bu, the Cao family can indeed enjoy the quite powerful power of the Han Empire, although this is only Lv Bu's promise, and it is not so reliable. But for Cao Cao, who is about to lose everything, this is an unparalleled gospel. However, whether other princes will enjoy the same treatment, Cao Cao wants to ask Lv Bu clearly.

"Ha ha ha, it depends on whether other princes are knowledgeable or not. The Han Dynasty lacks everything, but there is no shortage of manpower." I only heard Lv Bu say coldly.

"My minister, Cao Cao is willing to serve the prime minister." Hearing Lv Bu's words, the grass grass's eyelids moved slightly, and he quickly knelt down in front of Lv Bu and said.

Cao Cao has understood that if he can't meet Lv Bu's requirements at this time, he is afraid that he will always be under house arrest by Lv Bu. There is only one way to choose in front of Cao Cao, which is to follow Lv Bu.

"It will prove that your choice today is extremely correct." Looking at Cao Cao, who fell to the ground, Lv Bu said with a heartfelt smile.

A few days later, Chen Gong took the army to Runan City. Since then, the whole state of Yuzhou has been occupied by Lv Bu. The next few days. Lv Bu's army marched in the direction of Shouchun, Yangzhou, and Liu Pi, the governor of Runan, was appointed by Lv Bu as the vanguard of the army and killed all the way to Shouchun.

"Your Majesty, the big deal is not good. Cao Cao has betrayed your majesty and surrendered to Lv Bu. Now Lv Bu's army has captured the universe and is heading all the way to Shouchun. Please make a final determination." After learning the news of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's ministers lay on the ground submissively and reported to Yuan Shu.

"What? The situation has developed to such an extent. What do you think should be done? On the hall, Yuan Shu listened to the reports of the ministers, and there was nothing he could do, so he could only ask the ministers.

"Your Majesty, when it is not too late, your Majesty can only cancel the emperor and make peace with Lv Bu, so that there will be a glimmer of life." Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Yang Hong slowly stood up and said to Yuan Shu.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Lv Bu will not give up. Your Majesty might as well give up the emperor's name first, pretend to ask Lv Bu for peace to delay the time, and then go north to Yuan Shao, gather the strength of His Majesty and Yuan Shao, and then fight to the death with Lv Bu. Otherwise, staying in Yangzhou will only wait for death." At this time, Wei Zhongdao also stood up and said that Yuan Shu had reached the end of his journey, and there was no way to deal with Lv Bu. What's more, Lv Bu and other princes helped him. The only way was to unite with Yuan Shao.
