The clock turned three hours ago.

Bai Xiaowen has already led his troops into Yingchuan County.

However, Xun Yu took the initiative to ask Ying: "The lord doesn't need to mobilize the people, and he is willing to take the coffin of Duke Cao to Xudu and recruit the four sons." ”

Bai Xiaowen's first reaction was to refuse.

Xun Yu is certainly an excellent candidate, and Bai Xiaowen is also willing to believe in Xun Yu.

However, who knows what Xu Du's gang think of Xun Yu and how they think of Cao Cao's death?

In case Xun Yu is chopped up, Bai Xiaowen will have to die - Xun Yu brings him not only the benefit of +10 for all attributes, but more importantly, 1 priority!

Since Xun Yu mentioned it, Bai Xiaowen had the heart to not let him go, but he knew that he couldn't help it.

Xun Yu saw the worry on Bai Xiaowen's face and said, "Don't worry, lord. The nephew Xun Yu is currently in Xudu. Moreover, there is also the righteousness of the Lord to explain the righteousness of the four sons of Cao Gong in front, and there will be no danger in the future. ”

Bai Xiaowen held Xun Yu's hand and said, "If you want to go, you need to agree to one, let me capture Yanling Pass and surround Xudu." ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Why should the lord be like this. ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "You and I have our own insistences, and that's all I can do for you." Even if Cao Cao's four sons and the old department still have any ideas, then on the day when the troops besiege Xudu, their illusions should also be shattered. ”

Xun Yu lowered his hand and said: "The major affairs of the military aircraft are naturally subject to the ruling of the lord. Escort Cao Gong's coffin under the first step. ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "I'll send you." ”

......

In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a mourning hall was temporarily erected.

The quality of the coffin prepared by Bai Xiaowen for Cao Cao is still very good, the sandalwood texture, the wood is thick, and there are dozens of pearls that were buried with it, and the iron armor he wore before his death was also wiped new, only the Yitian Sword was left by Bai Xiaowen himself.

In fact, the Heavenly Sword was useless, because there was no spiritual energy particle resonance, and Bai Xiaowen waved it, similar to a burning stick.

Bai Xiaowen can't use it, it doesn't mean that the Heavenly Sword is useless, he can give it to the aboriginal generals under his command.

Wouldn't it be a pity that such a sword was buried with Cao Cao......

Cao Pi and the others didn't care about a sword, and after they saw Cao Cao's corpse, bursts of cries rang out in the mourning hall.

Xun You took the other subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked, "What is Ling Jun doing here?"

Although the two are uncles and nephews, they belong to two camps at this time, so they naturally have to do business, so Xun You calls him "Lingjun", which is already a polite title.

Xun Yu said: "I have come to invite you to persuade Cao Pi Gongzi to obey Cao Gong's orders and surrender to my lord." ”

A subordinate official of the Prime Minister's Mansion sneered: "Ling Jun has changed his court, what face do you have to persuade him to surrender?"

Xun Yu was silent, ignored the little official, and said to Xun Yu instead: "Now that the battle situation has been decided, Cao Pigongzi has no chance, I believe you can also see it." Stubborn resistance will only make the underworld have one more group of unjust souls who died in vain, so what's the benefit?"

Cao Pi wore linen and filial piety, suddenly stood up and came to Xun Yu:

"Xun Lingjun, I know that you surrendered to Yuan Xi because you have a hidden secret, so that Yuan Xi can release our four brothers back!

"However, as soon as my father was killed by Yuan Xi, I will bow my knees and surrender and give up all my inheritance to the enemy, how should the people of the world think of me? I would rather die in battle than lose my father's prestige!"

Xun Yu looked directly at Cao Pi: "Prince Cao Pi thinks that why did Duke Cao leave this testament before he died?"

Cao Pi lowered his head and said, "It's to protect our Cao family." ”

Xun Yu said: "Childe only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Cao Gong has entrusted his ambition of unifying the world to his greatest enemy! On the day of his lifetime, Cao Gong once said to me: Doing something you know you can't do is the greatest foolish act. I hope that Gongzi will understand Cao Gong's heart and don't let down his painstaking efforts to swing his sword and kill himself!"

Suddenly, there was a report from Tan Ma that Yuan Xi's army had taken Yanling Pass without blood and came to the city of Xudu. An army of 50,000 has surrounded Xu Du.

Cao Pi was a little ownerless and looked at Xun You.

Xun Yu was so smart that he had already seen Cao Pi's vacillation, so he asked Xun Yu: "If my lord is willing to submit, can Yuan Gong really save the life of the Cao family?"

Xun Yu said categorically: "I am willing to guarantee my life." ”

Xun You looked at Cao Pi: "Yuan Xi is still quite benevolent and righteous, and the last time he broke through Xu Du, he fulfilled his promise and released the four sons." What do you think, my lord?"

Cao Pi looked at the expressions of the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After hearing that Yuan Xi's army was besieging Xudu, the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion showed panic on their faces one by one, and there was no war intent on their faces.

At this time, although there was some food in Xudu, there was a shortage of soldiers, and it was impossible to defend the city at all - last time, Yuan Xi used 20,000 troops to break through Xudu.

Cao Pi shrank his head: "This matter still needs to be discussed with my mother and brothers." ”

Xun You said: "Since the lord has inherited the inheritance, everything can be self-determined, why ask others." ”

Cao Pi: "...... Well, I'm willing to submit to the court. ”

Cao Pi's emphasis was on returning to the imperial court, rather than returning to Yuan Xi, which could be regarded as finding a step for himself.

Subordinate officer: "The lord is wise!"

Cao Pi didn't know if it was an illusion, and after saying the words of surrender, the subordinate officials seemed to be relieved......

......

Bai Xiaowen waited a little anxiously.

After a while, the gate of Xudu opened, and the city was covered with a white flag.

Cao Pi led the Cao family's relatives and the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, holding seals, household registration books and other items, out of the city to surrender!

"It's a success! Xun Yu really did what he said!"

Bai Xiaowen suppressed the excitement in his chest, got down from the back of his angry claws, and helped Cao Pi up with his own hands.

Looking at this wife Zhen Mi who captured him (Yuan Xi) in the romance, and even Cao Pi who finally became the emperor, Bai Xiaowen felt emotion in his heart. He suppressed these thoughts with a smile and led the army into the city to take over the defense of Xudu.

Bai Xiaowen named Cao Pi as the Marquis of Anle, and the rest of the Cao sons were all named Pavilion Marquis.

The fief of the four was set as Yanzhou Chenliu, but the Hou Mansion was placed in Wei County, Jizhou. Doing so can keep the sons of the Cao clan under the surveillance of Yedu at all times, separate from the fiefdom, and also minimize the possibility of the resurgence of the Cao clan.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen can't kill Cao Pi, in addition to moral factors, there are also practical factors. Now that the world is undecided, and the princes are together, if they kill those who surrender, they will conquer the enemy in the future, and they will all fight to the death and never surrender.

At Xun Yu's suggestion, Bai Xiaowen sent Cao Cao's last order to the prefectures of Henan, together with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and ordered the chief officials of each prefecture, county, and county to report on their work in the capital for a period of three days. If it does not arrive within three days, it will be regarded as disobeying the edict of the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao's last order, and will be requisitioned by the army.

This is really a good means, and the chief officials of various prefectures and counties have entered the capital one after another, indicating their intention to submit to the imperial court.

Among them, there is also an old acquaintance of Bai Xiaowen - Zhong Xuan, the captain of the Sili School who once intercepted him in Mengjin on the Yellow River.

Zhong Xuan didn't seem to have a special inclination towards whom he was loyal, and when he met Bai Xiaowen, he didn't have the slightest worry or fear.

Bai Xiaowen joked: "Mengjin's arrows, how many?"

Zhong Xuan replied: "At that time, there was less hatred, and at this time there was more hatred." ”

Bai Xiaowen laughed, and then Zhengse said: "Guarding Sizhou can solve the worries of the west, and it can enrich the population, which is a great contribution to the community." He then ordered Zhong Xuan to hold the festival and continue to guard Sizhou.

Zhong Xuan arched his hand and said: "At this time, Sizhou still has a problem, and he needs to explain it to the lord. ”
