Chapter 816 Ma Mengqi in Huang Zhong's Eyes

Huang Zhong's eyes widened, and he was startled by Liu Zhang's words.

"My lord, Xiaguanzhong has just been pacified, and this is definitely not the best time to become emperor!"

"At least... At least wait a few years for Guanzhong to fully recover!"

Yuan Shu's lesson from the past is still in front of him, and Huang Zhong never wants Liu Zhang to be destroyed because of his covetous title.

Liu Zhang didn't expect Huang Zhong to take it seriously and have such a big reaction.

"Han Sheng, I'm just making an analogy."

"My lord, you're going to scare me to death!"

Huang Zhong exhaled lightly as if relieved from a heavy burden, and then fell into deep thought.

"I just want to hear what you think of the crowd."

The strength of the Yizhou Group is getting stronger and stronger, and the relationship among the forces has become complicated.

The civil servants are fine, at most they just make trouble in the court, but the generals are in charge of military power, so Liu Zhang has to be careful.

Especially because of the objectivity of regional relations, Liu Zhang could not avoid the separation of civil servants and generals into factions.

Just like how Pang Tong shines this time, as Huang Zhong of the Jingzhou faction, Wei Yan and others will definitely move closer unconsciously.

This is an unavoidable fact.

People like Liangzhou Ma Chao, Pound, Fazheng and others will become more and more closely connected.

In particular, the special status of Jia Xu, a person from Wuwei, in the Yizhou Group will definitely make the Liangzhou faction develop rapidly.

With the continuous expansion of the territory, more and more factions will join in, and Liu Zhang can no longer let it go.

After a long time, Huang Zhong finally gave Liu Zhang the answer.

"My lord, it is estimated that some people will persuade me in the end, but no one will openly resist."

"However, there are three people who will definitely support the Lord without any scruples!"

Liu Zhang was also interested. In fact, he just wanted to know who would support him regardless of the consequences.

"who?"

"Dian Wei, the last general and... Ma Chao!"

"Ma Chao?"

Liu Zhang couldn't believe it, he didn't expect Huang Zhong to say this name.

"Han Sheng, how long has it been since Ma Chao surrendered? How can he compare to Ziyi and Zilong?"

Liu Zhang thought Huang Zhong would name Tai Shici, but he didn't expect it to be Ma Chao.

Huang Zhong nodded noncommittally, he did not object to Liu Zhang's opinion.

"My lord's words are very true, but Zilong and Ziyi may have objections to usurping the Han and standing on their own..."

Liu Zhang frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed.

Tai Shici and Zhao Yun have followed him for nearly twenty years!

Will there really be a rift with him because of loyalty to the Han Dynasty and usurping the Han Dynasty for self-reliance?

Seeing that Liu Zhang was silent, Huang Zhong continued to express his point of view.

"Among these people, only Ma Chao is the wildest."

"Meng Qi has no Han family in his heart, I'm afraid he is the only one who can't wait to want the lord to go further..."

Huang Zhong vaguely remembered everyone's reaction when they learned that Liu Zhang was about to be named Duke.

Joy hangs on everyone's faces, but only Ma Chao is excited from the inside out.

Liu Zhang smiled, he probably knew the reason.

"Perhaps Ma Chao's ancestor, General Fubo, Ma Yuan, stimulated him."

"After all, Ma Yuan is the hero who founded the country. If Ma Chao wants to surpass his ancestors, he cannot do without the word "founding the country."

Huang Zhong suddenly put on a serious look, then bowed his hands and stared at Liu Zhang.

"My lord, at present, the emperor is still in Xuchang in the imperial court. Although Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes, he still represents the orthodoxy. Most people in the world still love the Han Dynasty!"

"My lord is a descendant of the Empress of Han, a relative of the emperor's family. Everyone in the world regards my lord as a loyal Han family! Even Zilong, Ziyi and others think so."

"Our Yizhou Group has strong troops and horses, and no force in the world can match us!"

"However, Yuan Shao in Hebei, Cao Cao in Central Plains, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan in Yangzhou should not be underestimated. If they unite, even if we narrowly win, we may lose the opportunity to expand!"

"Once we usurp the Han and stand on our own feet, people all over the world will put the name of the Han thief on the lord, and the civil and military forces in Yizhou will probably be disappointed!"

"At that time, there will be powerful enemies from all walks of life outside, and people's hearts will fluctuate inside, so the big thing will be over! Please think again, my lord!"

After much deliberation, Huang Zhong decided to persuade Liu Zhang.

In Huang Zhong's view, the matter of proclaiming the emperor is definitely not groundless!

Since Liu Zhang said it, he must have moved his mind in some way.

But proclaiming the emperor is definitely not the best time for the current Yizhou Group.

These principles are obvious, and Huang Zhong believes that Liu Zhang will be able to understand.

Liu Zhang was very pleased, he didn't expect Huang Zhong, who had entered middle age, to have such insight!

"Han Sheng, don't worry, the Han Court is still here, and I will never usurp myself!"

Huang Zhong being able to say this to him shows that Huang Zhong is not a brainless supporter of Liu Zhang, at least he is always sober.

With Huang Zhong like this in the army, Liu Zhang can feel more at ease.

Huang Zhong will definitely help Liu Zhang to monitor the army's troubles at all times.

"My lord is wise and mighty, and he will surely crush the rebellion and rule the world!"

"At that time, I believe everyone will be a staunch supporter of the lord!"

Huang Zhong once again stated his position and his views on everyone.

Everyone will support Liu Zhang's proclaiming emperor, but it needs a suitable timing.

Liu Zhang nodded heavily, fully understanding Huang Zhong's painstaking efforts.

If there is anyone who does not want Yizhou Group to decline, it must be Huang Zhong.

Since Liu Zhang was three years old, Huang Zhong watched Liu Zhang rise step by step!

Grow into a hero and make the princes of the world tremble!

With the current development momentum of the Yizhou Army, the military strength will soon reach another level.

At that time, it is enough not to be afraid of any forces.

For Liu Zhang, proclaiming himself emperor is naturally the ultimate goal, but he is definitely not impatient.

In fact, the gap between Duke, Duke of Qin and the throne is very close.

If Liu Zhang were to call himself Zhen immediately, he would really be uncomfortable!

"Han Sheng, it's getting late, go to bed early!"

"Tomorrow morning, we will set off for Chang'an!"

Liu Zhang patted Huang Zhong's thick shoulder again, then turned and left alone.

Huang Zhong didn't say anything, and bowed to Liu Zhang's back.

The look Liu Zhang gave him when he turned around was enough to make him put his heart in his stomach.

"Chang'an..."

Liu Zhang muttered to himself, filled with melancholy.

In his previous life, every time he thought of Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions and finally died of hatred, he was very angry.

Liu Zhang has already fulfilled Zhuge Liang's last wish in this life.

Just Zhuge Liang...

Why!

Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help sighing again that good fortune made people fool.

It's really too fast for the plan to keep up with the changes.

The process of the development of things is no different from Liu Zhang's expectations. Relying on Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou to make progress in the world.

However, the development process of things was completely different from Liu Zhang's initial expectations.

Those who should be attached did not come, and those who could not form an intersection originally appeared under his command...
