Qian County, King Wei Palace.

Cao Pi sat alone on the throne, and several core ministers stood in front of him.

Cao Pi stopped drinking and regained his consciousness this time.

But he was helpless in the face of this letter of help, the snowflake alarm.

After the fall of Xiahoudun and his Tiger Ben army, Cao Pi knew that the limit of Wei had arrived.

No, Lu Bu didn't give a chance to breathe at all, and launched an attack from all sides of Wei at the same time.

Chen Gong has returned, but he did not bring back a single soldier from Wu State, only brought back a sentence from Sun Quan, Wu State is already difficult to protect itself, and he has no spare strength for what happened to Wei State, but Cao Pi and his family are welcome to take refuge in Jiangdong.

Cao Pi looked at the pile of letters and information on the bookcase, and wanted to cry without tears, he turned his head to look at Xun Yu and Xun You, as well as Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu who were standing at the bottom of the steps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you see, where should our Great Wei go now?"

Everyone also looked at each other, there was nothing to say, in fact, this was already a clear thing, if you don't want the jade to burn, there is only one way out to flee south, and when the Han army hits the city, you can't escape if you want to.

Everyone understands the truth, but no one wants to be this sinner who has lost his country, and no one wants such words to come out of his mouth.

Cao Pi looked at them, and his tone became even colder, "Everyone, do you only think about your own reputation, but forget your duty as a courtier?" ”

Cao Zhen is still young and can't be provoked, "Your Majesty, for today's plan, is to take the initiative to throw yourself into Eastern Wu, and exchange the remnants of the land and army for the protection of Eastern Wu, so as to be able to protect the Cao family's bloodline and wait for the opportunity!" ”

Cao Pi also knew that what Cao Zhen said was the best choice at the moment, and he continued to look at Xun Yu, Xun You and the others, "What do you think?" ”

Xun Yu knew that he couldn't dodge, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, what General Zidan said is extremely true, now we can only start the "Hidden Abyss" plan left by the previous king, preserve our strength, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, let's retreat behind the scenes and let Dongwu take the front." ”

Of course, Cao Pi knew what kind of "hidden abyss" plan this was, and he also knew that Cao Cao had made two preparations a long time ago, and it seemed that his father was also very optimistic about the future of Wei.

"Since all Aiqing is such a suggestion, let's implement it, in order for Dawei to have a chance to make a comeback in the future, what is my Cao Pi's personal honor and disgrace!"

On the tenth day of May 210, it was also an important day in history, when Cao Pi, the king of Wei, announced his abdication in Qian County and canceled the title of King of Wei.

Then he announced that he would change his respect to Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and the Cao family went south to Jiangdong and bowed to the king of Wu.

All the counties that were still under the control of Wei also changed their ways and took on the banner of Wu.

Accompanied by many civil and military ministers, Cao Pi left Qian County, taking with him the Cao family and the families of many civil and military ministers who were willing to chase him to the south, as well as more people and troops who were willing to continue to follow him.

The mighty procession went south from Qian County to Shouchun.

Along the way, a large number of Wei people volunteered to join Cao Pi's southward march, many of whom had feelings for Cao's father and son, and many of whom had been subjected to Wei's false propaganda for Lu Bu, and were worried and afraid.

Cao Pi fled south, and also carried a lot of information about the people, of course, it was in the hands of Lu Bu as soon as possible, Xu Shu suggested sending troops to pursue, and Cao Pi could not be allowed to bring so many people to the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhuge Liang didn't think so, he felt that first, if he attacked Cao Pi's team, it was likely to cause a large number of casualties among innocent people, and second, that so many people went to Jiangnan, which may not be a good thing for Eastern Wu.

Lu Bu's point of view is the same as Zhuge Liang's, and his main thing is that he is afraid of causing panic among the people and causing a greater disaster.

He ordered all the troops on the front line to go out of the army as soon as they recovered the land of Wei, and emphasized military appearance and military discipline.

To let the people of Wei know that returning to the arms of the Han Dynasty is only good and not bad for them.

As for the army pursuing Cao Pi, since they are worried about injuring innocent people by mistake, let's send them off silently and recover all the territory.

Sun Quan received the last official letter from Cao Pi and was surprised and delighted to know the decision made by Cao Pi.

He sent his army to accept some county towns in Xiapi, Pei County, and Runan County near the border with Soochow, and did not take over more places.

He also sent Lü Meng to lead 50,000 Eastern Wu infantry, with the assistance of the sailors, to cross the Huaishui to meet Cao Pi's team.

When Lu Meng saw Cao Pi's mighty team, he was also stunned, he really didn't expect that there would be so many people, hundreds of thousands of people dragging their families with their families, and it is still increasing.

There were many who didn't know what was going on, but when they saw everyone fleeing south, they followed the crowd.

Lu Meng hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Sun Quan, how to cross the Huaishui River with so many people, and how to settle them after crossing the river, are all big problems, and they must find a way to solve them as soon as possible.

If you are not careful, it will cause disaster, and he himself mobilized all his sailors to ferry these people across the Huaishui with the warships of the water army.

Fortunately, the Han army did not attack violently this time, but only followed silently behind, as if they were sending them off.

Lü Meng was wise enough to control the Eastern Wu army, not to clash with the Han army, but to help Cao Pi's troops cross the river.

In the county seat occupied by the Wu army, the Han army did not attack, but stopped just right.

Sun Quan received Lu Meng's report, which was also unexpected, he personally took Zhang Zhao and others to Shouchun and saw the scene that moved him.

The huge Shouchun City was already overcrowded, and a large number of temporary camps were built outside the city, and Lü Meng contributed all the tents of the Eastern Wu army, but even this was not enough to live, and many wooden shacks were erected.

How can Shouchun's stock of grain supply so many mouths? Lü Meng had already ordered that the surplus military rations and the granaries of the nearby counties should be mobilized and made into rice porridge to appease these people.

Sun Quan met with Cao Pi, and in any case, the two parties were still relatives of the marriage.

Cao Pi had already put down the shelf of the King of Wei, and just hoped that Sun Quan would be able to settle these Wei people who followed him.

Sun Quan comforted Cao Pi with kind words, and promised to find a way to settle these Wei people, and he also named Cao Pi as the Duke of Wei, ate thousands of households, and placed Cao Pi and all the Cao clansmen in Wu County.

All the civil and military ministers of the Wei State who followed Cao Pi could continue to serve in the Wu State and select the best positions.

As for how to resettle so many people, it still needs to be planned by the monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu.

What Zhang Zhao means is that these Wei people must not disrupt the resettlement, and must be centrally managed, who knows how many Han spies are hidden here?

The Han Intelligence Department was already pervasive, so how could this great opportunity for millions of Wei people to cross the river be missed?
