I had said that I had put three thousand soldiers before, but now I have reached five thousand. After a while, should I say that I have ten thousand people?

Liu Zhe used Yanjin to threaten Cao Cao and threaten Cao Cao's choice. First, he helped Liu Zhe be appointed as king, and Liu Zhe returned to Yanjin to him. Second, he gave up Yanjin and refused to let Liu Zhe be appointed as king.

If possible, Cao Cao wanted to choose the second place, but Yanjin is very important and must not give up. With Yanjin in his hands, he would be much more stable to eat and sleep, and at the same time he could develop his strength with confidence.

However, letting Liu Zhe be named king will greatly increase Liu Zhe's political reputation and may even affect the current political structure of the court.

The choice was very difficult, and Cao Cao was deeply entangled. Should he help Liu Zhe be crowned with the title of king and exchange for Yanjin? Or should he not be crowned with Yanjin or Liu Zhe be crowned with the title of king?

Cao Cao had no choice for a while. For Cao Cao, both of these choices were very important. If possible, he really didn't want to choose.

"Meng De, you have been the prime minister for a long time, right?"

When Cao Cao was in trouble, Liu Zhe suddenly spoke out and said, "Thanks to your assistance to the emperor, the world is so peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. We have made great contributions. I think you deserve the reward."

Cao Cao was stunned. He looked at Liu Zhe, a little surprised. What does Liu Zhe mean by saying this?

The world is full of peace and the people live and work hard. There are credits, but Cao Cao does not think that his credits are as great as Liu Zhe said.

"Taiwei, this..."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhe in surprise and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Liu Zhe was saying good things about him. Could it be that he still had to refute it?

"I think you are qualified to be the king."

Liu Zhe said lightly, then looked at Cao Cao, picked up the wine bottle, and slowly started drinking.

I am qualified to be the king, I am qualified to be the king...

Cao Cao was stunned, and he kept saying this in his mind.

Surprise, fear, or other moods? Cao Cao can't describe his mood now.

Will Liu Zhe be so kind to agree with him to be the king?

"Taiwei..." Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhe and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Does Meng De think he is not qualified?" Liu Zhe put down the wine bottle and said lightly.

Cao Cao understood that Liu Zhe was not helping him, but for Liu Zhe himself.

Liu Zhe signaled that he could be crowned with the king, so that he could not refuse to help Liu Zhe become the king.

After understanding, Cao Cao stared at Liu Zhe with complicated eyes. He felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.

Liu Zhe is so amazing. It was this sentence that made Cao Cao know how to choose.

Being a king is not harmful to Cao Cao, but it has great benefits.

First, being named King can reduce the adverse effects of being oppressed by Liu Zhe this time, just like before, he was forced to hand over Yongzhou, but finally being named Prime Minister, eliminating most of the influence and allowing him to continue to develop safely.

Second, he was crowned king, which could make his subordinates more united, give his subordinates greater hope, and make his subordinates more loyal.

"I know what to do." Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhe, and after a while, he spoke out. He had already made his choice.

"But, Taiwei, Emperor Gaozu once said that if it is not the Liu family but the king, the whole world will attack it..."

Cao Cao did not continue to say it, but the meaning was very obvious.

Liu Zhe was a royal family of the Liu family and could be granted a king, but Cao Cao was not. He had a surname of Cao, not Liu. If he rashly made a king, he would arouse opposition from all over the world.

"This is your Mengde business."

Liu Zhe said lightly: "But in my opinion, as long as the emperor agrees, everything will be easy."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhe deeply again, and at this moment he fully understood Liu Zhe's attitude towards the emperor.

Liu Zhe no longer cared about what the emperor was doing now, as long as the emperor had no name worry, the others were free.

If not, Liu Zhe would definitely not say that.

Because the emperor would never agree to Cao Cao's title of king, nor would even agree to Liu Zhe's title of king, so if the emperor wants to grant Cao Cao the king, he must threaten the emperor.

Liu Zhe understood what he meant very well. He didn't care what Cao Cao was doing to the emperor. As long as the emperor was not in danger of his life, he would do whatever he wanted.

And with Liu Zhe's words, Cao Cao knew what he could do when he went back and how far he could do it.

"I understand, I understand." In the end, Cao Cao said.

"Okay, I will wait for good news from Meng De in Yanjin." Liu Zhe said.

He once again reminded Cao Cao in his words that if Cao Cao had not given Liu Zhe what he wanted, Liu Zhe would not hand over Yanjin.

The two sides dispersed, and Liu Zhe and Cao Cao each brought their people back to their camp.

"Lord, how about it?" Guo Jia asked Liu Zhe with some trepidation.

He is one of the few people who know what Liu Zhe wants, and he is very worried that Cao Cao will not agree. Although Cao Cao is now being beaten by Liu Zhe, Cao Cao still has some strength.

Moreover, the court was in the hands of Cao Cao. If Cao Cao did not agree, Liu Zhe would have no choice.
