Chapter 2227: People are coming in droves, and heroes are gathering together

Chapter 2227: A large number of heroes come together

Chapter 2223: A large number of people come together, and all the heroes gather together

Before Ying Hao agreed to proclaim himself emperor, Cao Cao wrote a letter supporting Ying Hao's proclaiming himself emperor.

Now that the envoy of Qin invited Wei to Luoyang to watch the ceremony, Cao Cao had neither reason nor need to refuse.

After receiving the credentials, Cao Cao immediately convened a meeting with his subordinates and finally decided to go to Luoyang in person to attend Ying Hao's enthronement ceremony.

Ji Xiaolan was shocked after receiving Cao Cao's response. He knew that the Wei State would definitely send an envoy to Luoyang, but he did not expect that Cao Cao would go in person. After all, Cao Cao was the leader of a country.

As the leader of a country, Cao Cao did not need to go there in person. He only needed to send an envoy to ask for advice. However, he decided to go in person, which naturally had his considerations.

First of all, although there were some cracks in the relationship between Qin and Wei, it was still generally in the honeymoon period. Wei was still useful to Qin.

Therefore, Qin will never do something stupid like taking Cao Cao hostage at the founding ceremony, otherwise it will only make the world laugh.

Secondly, Cao Cao wanted to dispel Ying Hao's wariness of Wei by personally going to Luoyang to observe the ceremony, and buy time for Wei to grow stronger and get rid of Qin's control.

In order to make a comeback, Liu Yu did not hesitate to venture into Chengdu and took the initiative to hand over his life and death to others, thus saving his life from a dead end.

Cao Cao asked himself that he was no worse than Liu Yu, and Luoyang was far less dangerous than Chengdu. If Liu Yu dared to enter a dragon's den like Chengdu, why did Cao Cao not dare to enter Luoyang?

Finally, and the main purpose of Cao Cao's visit to Luoyang, was to discuss the purchase of war horses with Ying Hao.

Taking advantage of the fact that Qin Wen, the cheap brother, is still in Luoyang, and at the critical moment when Ying Hao becomes emperor, if Cao Cao goes to Luoyang in person to negotiate, he will definitely be able to get some discounts, no matter how small the discount is, but at the national level, it will not matter. It's a big number.

Cao Cao arranged everything before leaving. In addition to appointing his eldest son Cao Ang as the crown prince, he also ordered Fan Li, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Bigan and others to assist Cao Ang in supervising the country to ensure that Wei would not be in trouble because of his departure. to Luoyang.

On the other hand, the Qin envoy Yi Ji who was sent to the Song Dynasty received the same answer as Cao Cao from Song Gong Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was actually planning to go to Luoyang to watch the ceremony in person.

First there was Cao Cao, then Zhao Kuangyin. When Ying Hao founded the country and ascended the throne, he actually asked the two princes to come to watch the ceremony in person, and this was just the beginning.

Not long after, Kan Ze, the envoy to the State of Wu, also sent back news that Wu Gong Sun Jian had also decided to go to Luoyang to observe the ceremony in person.

 Another country that was better with Qin, Nanman, was at war with Shu, so the leader of the country, Chi You, did not go to Luoyang in person. Instead, he sent his sister, Princess Zhu Rong of Nanman, as an envoy to Luoyang to watch the ceremony.

The heads of these seven hostile countries, Shu, Chu, Sui, Tang, Ming, Yuan, and Qing, naturally did not dare to enter Luoyang like Cao Cao did, but they all sent envoys to Luoyang to observe the ceremony in a tacit understanding, including those who were at war with Qin. Tang Dynasty.

 Chu King Liu Xiu appointed his confidant Li Mi as envoy;

Sui King Yang Guang appointed his clan uncle Yang Wanli as envoy;

Tang Wang Li Shimin appointed his younger brother Li Yu as his envoy;

Ming King Zhu Di appointed his clan uncle Zhu Youjian as envoy;

It is worth mentioning that the three kingdoms of Shu, Yuan and Qing were all in internal strife. The difference was that the Shu Kingdom was in political struggle, while the Yuan and Qing Dynasties were directly fighting within themselves, so these three kingdoms all sent two groups of envoys.

Liu Yu, King of Chengdu in the Southern Han Dynasty, appointed Wang Lei as his envoy;

Chen Ping, the military advisor of the former King of Shu in the Southern Han Dynasty, appointed Zhang Song as his envoy; Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty appointed Yelu Chucai as his envoy;

 Yuan Maodun appointed Zhongxing Shuo as envoy;

Dorgon, Prince Rui of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, sent Aixinjueluo Xuanye as his envoy;

 The Manchu King Aguda sent his younger brother Wanyan Gao as an envoy;

In addition to the above major powers, three Koreas, Japan, Tibet, and other countries in the Western Regions also sent envoys to Luoyang to observe the ceremony.

 Wang Mang appointed Wu Yong as his envoy;

King Li Cheng of Goguryeo ordered his nephew Li Liangzuo to be his envoy;

 The Japanese Emperor Oda Nobunaga appointed Toyotomi Hideyoshi as his envoy;

Tubo King Songtsen Gampo appointed Ludongtsen as his envoy;

The twenty-four countries in the Western Regions also sent envoys to Luoyang to observe the ceremony.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang, who invited hundreds of families in the name of Ying Hao, also took action immediately.

Hundreds of schools of thought are spread all over the world. If they come to visit one by one, Zhuge Liang may not be able to finish his journey even if he travels for a year. But as long as he gets one person, the other hundreds of schools will come uninvited, and this person is Guiguzi. .

As Ying Hao’s master, Gui Guzi naturally had to be present when Ying Hao founded the country and ascended the throne.

 In fact, even if no one comes to invite Guiguzi, Guiguzi will definitely come, but in order to show the importance to Guiguzi, the person who invites must be important enough.

Ying Hao has no skills and cannot invite Guiguzi in person, so Zhuge Liang, who is also from Guigu, is the best candidate.

Gui Guzi seemed to have expected Zhuge Liang's arrival, and had made all preparations early. He had written letters to the leaders of the other families in advance. The content was probably that my apprentice was about to ascend the throne, so he should go to Luoyang to give me face.

Among the hundreds of schools, seven schools including Legalism, Confucianism (Confucius and Xun), Gong, Medicine, Confucianism, Yin Yang, and Zongheng have completely turned to Ying Hao, so even if they are not invited, the leaders of these seven schools will attend the enthronement ceremony. .

 Taoism, Confucianism (the Mencius school), Nong, Mohism, Zao and other schools of thought all have their own supporting princes, and the leaders of these schools may not attend the ceremony.

 But it was different with Gui Guzi's personal invitation letter. As the oldest senior among a hundred schools, which family except Taoism would dare not to give Gui Guzi face?

　　With Guiguzi defeated, all the forces except Taoism will be defeated.

Taoism, the longest-lasting and most profound school of thought among hundreds of schools, still needs Zhuge Liang to put in a lot of effort.

In order to deal with Taoism, Guiguzi recalled Xiang Yu in advance and planned to accompany Zhuge Liang to visit Taoism in person.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he learned about it. Why did his lord ask him to bring so many great masters to invite hundreds of schools of thought?

 Do you really think it will shock all the hundreds of schools of thought?

 Apart from Taoism, which one is worthy of the Qin State dispatching so many great masters? Therefore, Zhuge Liang's goal was only the Taoist family from beginning to end.

Now that the master Gui Guzi is personally taking action, and there is also Brother Xiang Yu, a peerless fierce man, even if he is as strong as a Taoist, he has to lower his head. If you dare to say even half a word, he will teach you how to behave immediately.

As Zhuge Liang expected, this Taoist trip went very smoothly. The Taoists were angry but did not dare to speak out when they saw so many great masters. The leader Zhuang Zhou even paid tribute to Guiguzi as a disciple and promised to go to Luoyang in person to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

At this point, various forces from China have arrived one after another. Luoyang has gathered so many heroes and outstanding people that it seems to have become the center of the entire world.
