"Invite your father to ascend the throne!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Liu Bei had a rare angry look on his face.

"Adou be careful! Liu Bei reprimanded:"The emperor is still in power, how can a father overstep his bounds?" Otherwise, what's the difference between him and Cao Cao?"

When Liu Bei became king, where was the legal authority?

First, of course, it was because Liu Bei was a legitimate member of the Han family.

Second, it was because Cao Cao became king.

Liu Bang's white horse oath has a saying: Anyone who is not Liu's but king will conquer the world. Let’s fight together.

Cao Cao, a man with a different surname, can still claim the title of king. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei has been on the front line against Cao Cao, so it is natural for him to claim the title of king.

In the same way, if Liu Bei wants to claim the title of emperor, he still needs others to take the first step..

Liu Chan knew very well that after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi would hold a concession ceremony after he came to the throne, ending the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Naturally, if Cao Pi dared to usurp the throne, in order to continue and build on the legacy of his ancestors, Liu Bei would"have to" proclaim himself emperor.

Otherwise , is it not like sitting back and watching the destruction of the Han Dynasty without doing anything?

"Father, calm down."Liu Chan explained:"Cao Cao once said: If fate is on my side, I should be King Wen of Zhou."

"The meaning revealed by these words is self-evident. Cao Cao became King Wen of Zhou, and his son Cao Pi became King Wu of Zhou."

"Of course, I, the Han Dynasty, am not the Shang Dynasty, and the Emperor is definitely not King Zhou."

"But if nothing unexpected happens, Cao Pi will definitely force the emperor to abdicate."

"At that time, my father must make a decisive decision and immediately ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor to continue the great Han Dynasty!"

When Liu Chan finished speaking, Liu Bei put away the angry look on his face, and everyone looked thoughtful.

"What Adou said is just speculation..."Liu Bei still had concerns.

Liu Bei paid most attention to his reputation in his life. He subconsciously rejected such"treasonous and unethical" things.

"King. Fazheng said:"Your Highness's words are not unreasonable.""

"The emperor has fallen into the hands of thieves, and we have no hope of rescuing him in the short term. Sooner or later, the Cao family will do something treacherous. Your Majesty, it’s better to make plans early."

"That's right! Zhang Fei said carelessly:"My eldest nephew is right. What's wrong with my eldest brother becoming the emperor?" I think eldest brother should have been the emperor long ago!"

"Shut your stinky mouth! Liu Bei glared, and Zhang Fei immediately shrank his neck and shut up.

"Why should my father be bothered by this? Liu Chan laughed and said,"I just made preparations in advance. You became emperor in order to continue the country's foundation and extend the life of the great man.""

"If the ancestors knew something under the spring, they would definitely be happy. How could they blame him?"

"24 To put it another way, if Cao Pi had not forced the emperor to abdicate, and my father could have maintained the status quo, who could have forced you to proclaim yourself emperor?"

"The reason why I want you to prepare early is to avoid being caught off guard. Secondly, if your father really goes to the step of proclaiming himself emperor, it will definitely boost the morale of the people in the country and better launch the war against Wei."

"Big brother. Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard and advised:"Adou has something to say, so why worry too much?" I'm not asking you to usurp the throne. I'm just making preparations. There's no need to hold grudges."

"What does the military advisor mean?"Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang

"It can be prepared secretly, but this matter must not be leaked."Zhuge Liang reminded:"Once word spreads, it will harm the king's benevolence and righteousness."

"Secondly, once the ministers and officials know about it, I am afraid they will repeatedly persuade them to advance, forcing the king to go further."

Zhuge Liang's meaning is very clear. When Liu Bei sits in this position, once he shows the slightest intention of proclaiming himself emperor, the people below will work together to push Liu Bei up, and Liu Bei will be unable to help himself. After all,

Liu Bei has made progress, and the ministers below will You can also make progress together.

When Liu Bei was a general on the left, his subordinates were all captains, chief historians, and soldiers.

When Liu Bei was the king of Hanzhong, his subordinates could have ministers, generals with miscellaneous numbers, and left and right.

When Liu Bei was an emperor, his subordinates You can have the prime minister, the three princes, the general, and the hussar general

"What the military advisor said makes sense. Liu Bei nodded slightly,"Kong Ming has always been cautious and attentive, so you will handle this matter secretly.""

"Of course, if Cao Pi had not forced the emperor to abdicate, what we are talking about today would have never happened. I don’t want any rumors to spread."

"obey."Everyone agreed in unison

"Let's continue talking about launching an attack. Liu Bei brought the topic back on track,"Kong Ming, do we have enough food reserves to launch a war?""

"Gu remembered that there had been intelligence orders before that Wei's troops on the western front had increased to 100,000."Liu Bei sighed:"Presumably, this was Cao Cao's move to guard against us before he died."

"An army of one hundred thousand is so easy to deal with."

The defensive strength of the Wei State's western front is already 100,000, which indicates that the coming battle will be a hard battle, especially this time it is a proactive attack, which is equivalent to an"away battle."

And in a battle of 100,000 people, we still have to be the attacker and fight deep into the enemy's country. , the demand for logistics will undoubtedly be greater, and more food and grass will be consumed.

The Battle of Hanzhong emptied out Shuzhong, and the Battle of Xiangfan. Mi Fang emptied Jingzhou long ago.

In other words, Liu Bei currently only has this autumn harvest in his hands. The food obtained.

One year’s food tax can support an army of 100,000 in an expedition. Even those who don’t understand logistics find it completely impossible.

"King. Zhuge Liang said slowly:"If we use land transportation as before, it will be difficult to save enough for the war without saving for three to five years.""

"But if it is transported by water according to what His Highness said, it should be possible in two years."

If you use land transportation, you will be able to leave at least 20% in 80%.

But if you use water transportation, you will be able to leave at least 70% in 10%. Naturally, you can save enough in two years.

"Will it be a bit difficult in two years? Liu Bei said worriedly.

"It is indeed a bit difficult, but you can eat from the enemy and steal food and grass from the Wei State. Zhuge Liang continued:"Sun Tzu said: If you eat the enemy for one minute, treat me twenty.""

Eating one stone of food and grass from the enemy on the front line is equivalent to saving ten stones at home, and it is also equivalent to losing ten stones to the enemy.

"Father, my son and I have something to say."Liu Chan suddenly interrupted

"Adoudan said it didn't matter. Liu Bei immediately signaled his son to speak.

"It was indeed a bit difficult to store grain in Shuzhong for two years and transport it to the front line by water. Liu Chan paused for a moment and then said:"But Jingzhou's two-year grain storage can also be transported to the front line by water. Isn't it enough in total?""

"this..."Liu Bei asked in surprise:"What do the soldiers in Jingzhou eat?"

"There is no need to start a war in Jingzhou, just stay where you are."Liu Chan said without thinking.

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

In everyone's subconscious, Longzhong's grand strategy has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Northern Expedition will naturally be a two-pronged Northern Expedition.

But hearing what the Crown Prince meant, it seemed that only Sent out Hanzhong all the way, but Jingzhou stood still

"Your Highness means...Are you going to send out an entire army this time?"Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly."Liu Chan said in a deep voice:"Thousands of miles away and two troops, how can we be undefeated?"

"Adou is arrogant! Liu Bei said angrily:"How dare you deny the strategy set by the military advisor?""

What Liu Chan said just now is almost to completely overthrow Longzhong and completely negate the strategy formulated by Zhuge Liang.

"The king calms down. Zhuge Liang instead advised:"Listen to what His Highness has to say, maybe Ding Chen's students will be better than his masters.""

Liu Bei's face softened a little when he heard this, and he gave Liu Chan a look to remind Liu Chan not to talk nonsense.

Liu Chan smiled slightly and said without any panic:"What I mean is that we will only send troops to one route this time, and we will consider two routes next time in the Northern Expedition. It’s not too late to send troops"

"How to say?"

"Because we have few soldiers, while Wei has more soldiers on the western front. Liu Chan reminded:"My father said before that before Cao Cao died, he sent 100,000 troops to the Western Front.""

"Our national military strength is only a little over 100,000, and some of them need to be left behind during the Northern Expedition. If the two armies split up and attack..."Liu Bei spread his hands and said,"It would be ridiculous to send fifty thousand people to fight on the Western Front.""

"It is better to send troops all the way, concentrate all the troops, strive to defeat Liangzhou in one battle, and successfully capture Liangzhou, so as not to miss the opportunity. After all, Cao Cao cannot die again."

"In addition, although we only send troops to one route, we can still achieve the effect of two routes of Northern Expedition. Liu Chan said confidently:"Because...Jiangdong will also send troops"

"So, isn’t it the best of both worlds?"Liu Chan continued:"The Sun and Liu families are heading north in two directions, and our food and grass are enough to supply the front line."

After Liu Chan finished speaking, the hall was silent for a while.

"hehe. Zhuge Liang took the lead and said:"The young are better than the old. Your Highness will be able to serve as a teacher in the future.""

"Sir, I am too praiseworthy. Students still have a lot to learn from you. Please don’t flatter me. Liu Chan joked

"I didn’t expect that this kid is really capable!"

Zhuge Liang laughed when he saw it. Liu Bei immediately understood that his son's strategy was absolutely feasible.

"If you follow His Highness' words, if you want to start a war, it will be after this autumn harvest at the earliest."Fazheng said.

The New Year has passed. Last year's autumn grain plus this year's autumn grain, transported to the front line by waterway, will be enough to support a war.

"It just so happens that it will take a long time to build a ship to transport grain in Shuzhong."Zhuge Liang then said

"It still has a weak foundation. If it had the national power of Wei, it could start a war at any time and attack immediately as soon as Cao Cao died."Liu Bei said with regret:"It's a pity that starting a war this autumn will inevitably give Wei a chance to breathe for half a year."

"There is nothing we can do about this. Zhuge Liang said helplessly:"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The crops in the field always take time to mature.""

"However, being able to launch war against Wei in the same year as Cao Cao's death was already the result of His Highness's advice and suggestions, otherwise it would have been postponed to three to five years later."

Indeed, without the water transportation proposed by Liu Chan, there would be no door in two years.

And the reason why Liu Chan was able to propose such a good plan was based on the fact that Jingzhou was not lost.

If Jingzhou was lost, this method would not be implemented. Prerequisites

"Now that the logistics can be guaranteed and the strategy for dispatching troops has been decided, all that remains is to send an envoy to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan to send troops to the Northern Expedition together. Liu Bei asked:"Who is more suitable to send there?"" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"There must be a certain identity, and we cannot send anyone randomly, as it will appear that we are not sincere. Zhuge Liang suggested:"After all, this is the first official mission after Sun and Liu reunited, so the standards should be higher.""

Jiangdong sent Zhuge Jin every time, but Liu Bei couldn't send Zhuge Liang.

The reason was that Zhuge Liang was too busy....

Secretly prepare for the enthronement, coordinate logistics, and arrange food and fodder...

Although Zhuge Liang's current position is as a military advisor and general, he is doing the job of a prime minister.

How can the prime minister of a country have time to do diplomatic work?

As for Fa Zheng, he is not good enough. If his character is defective, he will be punished and he may be scolded in Jiangdong.

Not to mention Guan Zhang and other generals, it might lead to war.

I looked around, but there was no suitable one in the house.

The minister who was not present seemed a little inadequate in terms of status.

At least an important minister should be sent there to show the importance he attaches to Jiangdong.

"Father, why don't you let me go?"Liu Chan took the initiative to ask for help.

"No!!!"

Before Liu Chan finished speaking, almost everyone present objected, including Liu Bei himself.

"Adou, don't be impulsive. If you go there, you might be detained...."Guan Yu couldn't help but said:"Those rats in Jiangdong can do any disgusting things.""

"That's right."Zhang Fei echoed:"Especially since Adou just killed their 30,000 troops, and that bitch Lu Meng, Jiangdong will definitely take revenge."

"Your Highness is the Crown Prince and cannot personally take risks."Fazheng also gave words of advice.

"It's really inappropriate."Liu Bei also shook his head and objected.

Liu Chan is Liu Bei's lifeblood. He is already sixty years old, so it can be seen that Liu Chan is in danger.

What's more, this son's recent performance has become more and more outstanding, brave and resourceful, and he is a rare perfect heir.

"I don't think it's impossible..."Zhuge Liang said slowly:"Your Highness's trip is not as dangerous as imagined."

"What did Kong Ming say?"Liu Bei humbly asked for advice.

If someone else had said this, I'm afraid Liu Bei would have scolded him directly. It was Zhuge Liang who didn't have such scruples.

"Your Majesty, Sun and Liu got back together, and it was Jiangdong who took the initiative to show goodwill, and Sun Quan took the initiative to marry his daughter. Zhuge Liang analyzed:"If they detain the prince, wouldn't it be contrary to their original intention?""

You just showed your kindness, and you backhandedly detained Liu Chan to make enemies. What are you trying to do?

In the past, when Liu Bei only had one son, you might be able to control Liu Bei by detaining him.

But now Liu Bei has more than one son, and you can't control Liu Bei by detaining Liu Chan. Doing so will only lead to Liu Bei's death. offend

"Of course, these are not the most important..."Zhuge Liang reminded:"The important thing is that that person is back. With her accompanying your highness to Jiangdong, everything will be absolutely foolproof." It is self-evident who Zhuge Liang is talking about, and it is naturally Sun Shangxiang who has just returned.

Due to emotions and reasons, Jiangdong has no reason or need to embarrass Liu Chan, and in addition, Sun Shangxiang is escorting him 940[]

After Zhuge Liang's analysis, everyone found that it seemed...There's really no danger

"Father, you see, my husband said everything is fine, so it doesn’t hurt to take a trip."Liu Chan said:"Moreover, I am going to Jiangdong as an envoy. This time I will not only facilitate Jiangdong to send troops, but also open up water transportation channels through Jiangxia."

"No matter which of these two things cannot be achieved, it will have a great impact on us."

"As the heir to the throne, I should contribute to the Han Dynasty. What does it mean to be in danger? Besides, there is no danger at all as imagined."

"In order to marry my mother, didn't my father also go to Jiangdong in person?"

"What's more, I have the support of my father and the elders after this incident. With you supporting me, how can Jiangdong dare to do harm to my son? Liu

Bei looked pleased when he heard this, pointed at Liu Chan and said to his left and right:"With the prince here, why worry about the Han Dynasty not being prosperous?""

The time and tactics for dispatching troops were finalized, logistics matters were finalized, secret preparations were made for the enthronement, and Liu Chan's mission to Jiangdong was confirmed. Under the discussion of the core people, all major events were properly arranged, and the discussion ended.

Liu Chan originally planned to leave, but Liu Bei was stay on purpose

"Father, do you have any other instructions?"

"No instructions. Liu Bei shook his head and said:"You must be careful when you go to Jiangdong. Jiangdong really dares to do something unwise. Adou doesn't have to worry. When the time comes, my father will raise troops on the border. Let's see how courageous those rats are!""

"No wonder Father Zhong has a mouth full of rat-like behavior. It turns out he learned it from his father."Liu Chan joked

"Haha~" Liu Bei laughed when he heard this,"Don't worry about Adou's trip, the position of the crown prince is yours, no one can take it away, don't have anything to worry about."

"Thank you for your father's love. My son and I understand."

Liu Bei's words are undoubtedly the best promise, so that Liu Chan does not have to worry about changing the heir apparent after being detained.

At the same time, it also tells Liu Chan, don't panic if he is really detained, Liu Bei will use the toughest attitude to put pressure on Jiangdong. Let the people go.

If he really doesn't let the people go, Liu Bei will definitely go to war directly.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about Liu Chan being killed, because only the living Liu Chan is valuable to Jiangdong.

Just like a kidnapper taking a hostage, there is nothing he can do once the hostage dies. Blackmail, then the police will have no scruples at all

"By the way, your mother is at your house...well enough? Liu Bei hesitated and asked.

"It's very good, you can play hard every day. Liu Chan shrugged.

"That's good. Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said,"Honest your mother well, as my father owes her a lot.""

"?"Liu Chan didn't understand what it meant

"Okay, let's go back."Liu Bei had no intention of explaining.

"The sons and ministers resigned."

Back at the house, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Sun Shangxiang and the girls gathered around the dining table, obviously waiting for him to come back and start dinner.

"So late? If you don’t come back, the whole family will starve to death!"Sun Shangxiang complained as soon as they met

"Mom, forgive me. Liu Chan smiled and sat down, and then said:"Mom, I will accompany my child to Jiangdong in a few days.""

"OK"

"Mom, when we get there, they won't lock up the child, right? Liu Chan said half-jokingly

"Who dares?!".
