In the 21st year of Jian'an, except for the small-scale friction in Xiangyang, the whole world was still peaceful. Cao Cao was officially named King of Wei in April, and nominally surpassed Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

However, the fact that Sun Quan was awarded the title of King of Wu at the end of the year made Liu Bei and his team not very happy.

The King of Wu was not self-proclaimed by Sun Quan, but was officially enthroned by the court, and Sun Quan also submitted a letter to Cao Cao, which made officials of Liu Bei feel betrayed.

It is obvious that the two families are considered an alliance, but now Sun Quan has accepted the position of King Wu in a noble manner and has made a sanction. Although he is a sensible person, he can see that in fact, Sun Quan is just a sanctioned person to Cao Wei.

In this way, Liu Bei, the three princes, was not the last, but in name, he was indeed below the two of them, and he was just a little short of others. No matter who he was, he would not feel good.

Chengdu, the capital, was already February 22nd year of Jian'an, and Liu Bei's expression was not as angry as he imagined. This was something that he had expected to be king of Cao Cao.

Looking at the mountains and rivers outside the window silently, this mansion was built for Liu Yi before he left Shuzhong. It was not luxurious, but it was quite comfortable to live in it. Liu Bei himself couldn't say what he was doing. He just lived here, and he was full of energy every day and had a good sleep.

Mrs. Mi, who had not been released last year, was pregnant, and I don’t know if it had anything to do with this mansion.

Shaking his head and putting aside this absurd idea, Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng who was sitting at the beginning of his hand and quietly tasting wine, and asked with a smile: "Xiaozhi is here, isn't it just for drinking these wines?"

"No, it's just that, I came here to share my worries for the lord." Fa Zheng said with a smile.

"Oh?" Liu Bei smiled and said, "Now our army is in full swing, and we are both in the two states, with 200,000 troops. Xiaozhi said where did my worries come from?"

Fa Zheng took a sip of wine, shook his head and smiled, "Although the lord is now strong, Jiangdong was granted the title of Cao's family this time. At least in name, Sun's family is obeyed Cao Wei's orders. This move...is much suspicion of revenge!"

Liu Bei was silent. Although Liu Bei was right when he was the last time, Jiangdong first broke his face and attacked him. In terms of reason, Liu Bei was right, but things in this world are often unreasonable.

Just like when Liu Bei had only five counties in Jingzhou, Sun Quan was afraid that Liu Bei would join forces with Cao Cao, so he tolerated Liu Bei everywhere, and now Liu Bei has the same mentality.

But if you really want to endure, Liu Bei felt a little frustrated. Oh, you come and beat me, but you will be destroyed. I will ignore the past and let your person go back. How can you make sense? What's the bullshit? But that's still the case now, who can I ask for?

"At present, whether it is to determine the attitude of Jiangdong or the lord's voice, it is imperative for the lord to be king." Fa Zheng smiled.

"The matter of being named king has been decided. I have ordered someone to send me a message to Bo Yuan and order him to come back to handle this matter." Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng in confusion.

"But Cao Cao was granted the title of King of Wei, and there was an imperial edict from the emperor. The title of King of Wei was also granted by the court, and the lord was indeed proclaimed as the king." Fa Zheng looked at Liu Bei seriously and said, "Can you know the difference between this?"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "The difference between them is so big."

The other person is justified, and no matter how powerful he is, it is wrong. Moreover, if the two families join forces to attack in the name of this... This is what Liu Bei has always been worried about, and he saved Jingzhou, but it is said that the alliance is on the verge of shattering.

It's really hard to say whether you make a profit or lose money.

Looking at Fa Zheng, Liu Bei suddenly smiled: "Xiaozhi wants to relieve my worries?"

Liu Bei loved Fa Zheng very much. He was not as decent as Zhuge Liang, not as free and casual as Liu Yi, nor as straightforward as Pang Tong. Many times, Fa Zheng was a little petty and vengeful, but he was just a person who always spoke to Liu Bei's thoughts.

He is a capable and likable villain. As a lord, it is difficult for such a person to hate, not to mention that Fazheng is also very capable.

"The lord is named king, Cao, and Wu must have one party to support him." Fa Zheng smiled and said, "The lord thinks, who will support the lord?"

"It's Jiangdong." Liu Bei didn't think about it.

"No, I thought Jiangdong would not come to congratulate you." Fa Zheng shook his head and smiled: "If Cao Wei came to attack because of this, Jiangdong would take advantage of the situation."

Jiangdong's desire for Jingzhou was much greater than that of Cao Wei. He would rather tear up the alliance than take over Jingzhou. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei went to war in full swing, how could Sun Quan miss this opportunity?

"Cao thief..." Liu Bei frowned and looked at Fa Zheng. He and Cao Cao have always been the opposite. Even if Cao Cao is willing to come and congratulate him, he will not accept it.

"The lord is joking." Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Cao Thief's move is to break the alliance between our two families and isolate the lord, so how could he congratulate the lord to be king?"

I guess I will bring troops to congratulate you directly!

Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng speechlessly. Sun Quan could not, Cao Cao could not. You said it for a long time and seemed to say nothing?

"Lord, don't worry, I said that this is to share the worry for the lord." Fa Zheng smiled and said, "In fact, the key is not who is willing to admit that the lord is called king, but who can admit that the lord is called king."

Liu Bei sighed, not wanting to be hung up by Fa Zheng, but just looked at Fa Zheng silently and let him perform his expression. He just had no expression on his face.

"Or, who can you ask the lord to take the initiative to call him king!" Fa Zheng smiled.

Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng in surprise when he heard this: "Why is Xiaozhi the more he talks about me, the more confused I am?"

It’s not okay to come to congratulate you, let others take the initiative to ask yourself to be king? Are you crazy or am I crazy? Or are they stupid?

"Actually, Cao Zhe designed this plan very clearly, to destroy our two alliances, and he succeeded. From the moment Sun Quan accepted the title of king, the two alliances had broken down. I am sure that as long as the lord becomes king, Cao Zhe will definitely forge an edict to attack the lord, and Sun Quan will also respond!"

Liu Bei's face was a little heavy: "In this way, can I be called king?"

"No, I'm just saying that the lord must be king!" Fa Zheng said seriously: "But I think that instead of proclaiming himself, if Sun Quan is willing to support him, and ask the lord to be king, the meaning is indeed different!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng: "Will Sun Quan agree?"

"No!" Fa Zheng smiled and shook his head.

Liu Bei: “…”

I really want to hit someone.

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "But we can force Sun Quan to ask him to take the initiative to call the lord to be king."

Speaking of this, the smile on Fa Zheng's face gradually became colder: "Since the alliance has not yet broken down, then Sun Quan accepted Cao's title of king this time to betray the alliance and help the evildoer to abuse!"

Fa Zheng said this and looked at Liu Bei with a smile: "Lord is the army to attack the Eastern Wu!"

"Armed the Eastern Wu!" Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng in shock.

"Yes, as an ally, I should have fought against the Cao thief, but I accepted the title of Cao thief!" Fa Zheng smiled and said, "The lord has sufficient reason to attack Wu!"

"Just..." Liu Bei had a headache. I just wanted to be king, but I never thought about attacking Wu?

"Of course, it's not really an attack on Eastern Wu." Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Just let Sun Quan know that his lord, the throne of King Wu, did not admit it!"

"If Master Wu is smart enough, he will definitely feel guilty and ask his lord to be promoted to the king. In this way, even if Cao thief refuses, he will have no choice. The King of Wu personally asks the lord to be king, and he will not be able to repay his words. The lord can also declare the legitimacy of the position of King Wu to the world."

Fa Zheng looked at Liu Bei with a smile. In this way, legalizing the king is much better than establishing himself as a king. Moreover, his allies who had already betrayed have returned to the united front, killing two birds with one stone.

"Can you do it?" Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng and asked uncertainly, but he was a little moved. He had long seen that the blue-eyed thief disliked him. You came to beat me and was killed, and you were forced to blame me. Now he is even more united with Cao's thief to isolate me. Who would you beat if you don't hit me?

"But you need to be king slowly!" Fa Zheng smiled and said, "This time, the troops in Shu can be directly transferred to the river. In addition, Zhao Yun and Wen hired two generals from Jiangxia, Changsha to force Chaisang, and Jiangdong will send people to reconcile with the lord."
