Chapter 1291: Establishing the Heir Cao Pi
Two days later, Qiao Rui and other teammates joined Bai Xiaowen.
At the same time, it also means that the two armies of the Yuan camp have completed the convergence, with a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses.
It is worth mentioning that Xun Yu worked tirelessly, followed Qiao Rui's army, rode to Changyuan, and cried while holding Cao Cao's coffin.
Bai Xiaowen saw Xun Yu's emaciated face, and said in surprise: "Ling Jun hasn't seen him for a few days, why has the Qing Dynasty been reduced to this point, and he is about to lose his shape?"
Xun Yu smiled reluctantly: "There is the lord of labor who cares." ”
Bai Xiaowen comforted him a few words, and thought to himself: Xun Yu is really unusual to Cao Cao, which is also due to Cao Cao's personality charm.
Leaving Xun Yu alone in front of Cao Cao's mortuary, Bai Xiaowen went out to meet the three teammates and exchanged views with each other.
Bai Xiaowen was also a little surprised by the act of giving Qiao Rui the raven messenger before Alberta left.
Of course, he is also very optimistic about the strategic significance of the Raven Courier in the Great Unification War, this thing appears in the Three Kingdoms plane, and it is really a prop that destroys the balance like the geographical map of mountains and rivers.
The only drawback is the time limit, but the validity period of more than 80 days is more than enough for a large unification.
Bai Xiaowen further deduced: "It seems that the environment of the Star Alliance is also more cooperative than conflicting. Alberta saw that our great unification started so smoothly, and it was very likely that a lord-level evolutionary would appear, so he gave the Raven Courier and formed a good fate. ”
Li Shuyi said: "It's useless for him to keep this thing, right? According to the rules of the Divine Court Training Camp, after they go back this time, it will take at least two or three months to prepare for a new round of unification, and the Raven Messenger has long been invalid. ”
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled:
"That's not what I said. Some people would rather harm their own interests than add to the obstacles of others, and will never help others. What's more, we are in opposition to the Divine Court, and we have just driven them out of the Three Kingdoms Plane World! Under such circumstances, Alberta can still give me this favor, which is enough to see that this person is not narrow-minded. At least, I'm going to accept this favor. ”
Bai Xiaowen then took out the jade seal left by Cao Cao, as well as the letter, and showed it to his teammates.
The teammates were also surprised and delighted.
"With this will, we will be able to surrender Xudu and unify Henan as quickly as possible. Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen said: "This testament can first make it easier for us to recruit Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other captured generals of the Cao Group. As for recruiting and surrendering Xudu, it is still necessary for a large army to suppress the territory and give enough pressure to the remnants of the Cao clan! With such a dual suppression of morality and force, it is even more likely that the troops will unify Henan without bloodshed. ”
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "I have ordered someone to put Cao Cao's body into the coffin." Next, the jade seal and the will were sent to Xudu along with the coffin. I will personally write a letter to persuade Cao Pi and others to surrender, and promise to treat them well, so that they will not have to worry about the future. ”
Bai Xiaowen then led a 50,000 victorious army and went straight to Xudu.
It's different from the last sneak attack. This time, Bai Xiaowen wanted to annex Cao Cao's territory, not to fight guerrillas, so there was no need to take a detour or secretly march.
......
Xu Du.
At the beginning, Cao Cao said that he would take his four sons with the army, but when he actually raised troops to the north, he still left Cao Pi and others in Xudu. The previous rhetoric was all for the heart of An Cao Xiong.
Cao Cao marched north, and the affairs of Xu Du were handed over to the four sons to negotiate and handle, and Xun Yu was left to assist. Of course, the power of arbitrariness is still in the hands of Xun You.
Cao Cao did this, but he was also stimulated by the sudden rise of "Yuan Xi", and wanted his four sons to get in touch with political affairs as soon as possible to see their talents.
On this day, Cao Chong asked: "Three brothers, last night I dreamed that I was in the snow and a group of tigers bit me, what is this sign?"
The other three were puzzled, so they went to ask Xun You.
Xun You said: "Encountering a tiger in the snow is not a good omen. He thought about it, but swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach.
The four sons were a little worried, and handled state and county affairs with Xun Yu as usual.
Not long after, someone came to report: "Oh no! The prime minister was defeated and committed suicide in Changyuan City! Yuan Xi took 100,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to kill Xudu! Now it has arrived in Chenliu. ”
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Cao Pi and the other four people who were blown up panicked.
Even Xun You was a little incredulous, and said: "The lord has already defeated Yuan Shao, and the sons of the Yuan clan are fighting among themselves, and it is impossible for them to be the opponents of the lord." Why did you lose, and so badly?"
Cao Pi's fingers trembled: "Fake, this news must be fake! Yes...... It was Yuan Xi who came to attack Xu Du again, right? He deliberately released false news to shake the hearts of Xu Du's people!"
The man knelt on the ground and reported: "Childe, military advisor, this is the news from the remnants of Changyuan who fled back!"
Xun You quickly calmed down and said in a soothing tone: "Don't get excited, call those defeated soldiers over, and I'll ask a few questions." ”
Soon, several of the defeated soldiers were led to the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xun You asked, and the questions were very brief, such as Anyang, where Cao Cao arrived a few days, how many days did Cao Cao attack the city, who was the queen of the palace when he was defeated, and so on.
Soon, Xun Yu had already simulated the general battle situation. He sighed and said, "Childe, please mourn." ”
Cao Pi and the others all trembled: "Military advisor, is his father really ......?"
Xun Yu nodded heavily: "The lord used the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and he lied about dividing the troops, and actually went to rob the Yuan army camp in the west of Anyang City. However, this plan was discovered by the enemy and an ambush was set up outside the camp, and our army was defeated. ”
Cao Zhi said: "Since my father went to war, he has also suffered defeats, but he has been able to save the day every time. ”
Xun You shook his head and said:
"The prime minister was defeated by Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu before, but he was able to protect himself, and even turned defeat into victory, on the one hand, because the other party lacked strategy, and on the other hand, the lord was protected by a warrior like Dian Wei.
After defeating the lord, he successively deceived the Baihenan camp and Liyang City, so that the lord had no place to rest and recuperate, so he could only retreat again and again! Even Xu Chu, the general of the Tiger Guard, died in the chaos.
"Yuan Xi is also good at running thousands of miles, leading the elite cavalry to chase after him, and besieging the lord in Changyuan City. By this time, the end was already doomed. ”
Cao Pi and the four of them let out a cry of grief, and Cao Chong fainted and fell to the ground from crying.
Xun You hurriedly persuaded: "Four sons, now is not the time to grieve. The lord died, and the states of Henan were in danger. For the sake of today's plan, it is better for Mrs. Yuming to decide who will inherit the great cause of the lord as soon as possible. ”
Xun You summoned the former prime minister's subordinate officials and asked Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Bian.
Mrs. Bian is naturally also full of grief, so there is no need to say more. Under the persuasion of everyone, she reluctantly suppressed her grief and said: "I am a woman and don't understand national affairs. You are all the ministers of the deceased husband, so it is better to choose a son and an heir after discussion. ”
The speed of this discussion was very fast, although Cao Zhi had a few people to support it, but "abolishing the elder and establishing the young, and taking the trouble" has long been the consensus of everyone, so Cao Pi still inherited Cao Cao's position as the pastor of Yanzhou with an absolute advantage, and was also in charge of Si, Henan, Yong and other prefectures.
However, before Cao Pi had time to rejoice, there was an urgent report that Yuan Xi's army had entered the territory of Yingchuan. Moreover, he also sent someone to send Cao Cao's coffin and testament!
What surprised Xu Du Wenwu the most was that he was still an acquaintance.
