On the other side, Runan County, Shangcai County.

I saw that in a bedroom in the county guard's mansion, Cao Cao was lying on the bed, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was pale, and it was obvious that this hero had cried a few times.

"Father, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to do, I guess a few uncles can't bear to see you like this" A good-looking man in gorgeous clothes knelt beside the bed, worried and sad comfort.

He is Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's heart suddenly felt like a knife, he didn't care about Guandu, he didn't care about Xu Du, but Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Xiahoudun were indeed right-hand men, civil and military ministers, along the way, I don't know how many merits he had made, but he didn't have time to reward, these people were gone, this is his incompetence!

At this time, Xun Yu walked in slowly from outside, and Shi Li said: "Sikong"

I saw that he looked tired, with the same sadness on his face that could not be hidden, Guo Jia's departure, made Xun Yu feel pain from the bottom of his heart, you must know that they have been friends for many years, and he introduced Guo Jia to Cao Cao, but now Yuan Xi has not withdrawn from the army, Cao Cao also fell because of excessive sadness, and everything can only be taken care of by him. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi was so much more powerful than Yuan Shao.

After Cao Cao saw that it was Xun Yu, he hurriedly signaled, and Cao Pi hurriedly helped Cao Cao up and pressed a pillow on the back.

"Wen Ruo, did Yuan Xi attack?" Cao Cao asked solemnly.

"Sikong is relieved, no, it seems that Xiliang has already acted, and Yuan Xi may turn around soon" Xun Yu said.

"You must order the scouts to supervise at all times, and you can't relax for a moment," Cao Cao reminded.

"No!" After Xun Yu responded, he said: "Sikong, Yu and your colleagues have already discussed, and now our army has suffered heavy losses and can no longer fight, so I am ready to use this canonization of the throne to negotiate with Yuan Xi to ensure peace in the next five years."

"Will Yuan Xi be willing? After all, he has such a big advantage" Cao Pi asked with some concern, and at the same time there was jealousy and envy in his eyes, Yuan Xi was as big as him, but he was indeed close to the first prince in the world, and he was not even sure of a son at present.

"Second son, please rest assured, Yuan Xi actually understands very well that the north is his foundation, and now the turmoil in the north is very strong, especially the army of Xiliang is pressing, which is even more urgent, the reason why he didn't go back is actually to get some more benefits, after all, Sikong still has nearly a hundred thousand troops, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili are also in our hands, if he is stable in the rear, he may be completely fearless, but at this time he does not have this condition" Xun Yu smiled.

"What Wen Ruo said is extremely true, you can arrange the specific things, and you will make a request, no matter what, you must bring back the corpses of Fengxiao and them, and Cao Cao will seal them heavily" Cao Cao burst into tears again in his eyes.

"No!" Xun Yu gave a salute with relief, took out a list, and said: "Sikong, at this time, the name of the throne, everyone has discussed a few, and please sit down to make the final decision."

Cao Cao nodded, took it slowly, and asked, "What does the Son of Heaven think about this matter?" ”

"The Son of Heaven has no opinion, he said that it will be handled by the prime minister," Xun Yu said immediately.

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled coldly, Xu Chu estimated that he would not be polite, and after slowly opening the list, he saw six words written in it: "Chu, Zhao, Qi, Yan, Dai, Han".

"Which one does the prime minister think is suitable?" Xun Yu asked again.

Cao Cao looked at the Yan character, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "When you Cao and Ben Chu talked about the world, he once said that the south is based on the Yellow River, the north guards Yan and Dai, and there are both Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and then the south fights for the world, since this is the case, it should be in this Yan word!" issued an order, canonized Yuan Xi as the king of Yan, added nine tins, placed a hundred officials, and all things in the north were especially handled"

"Father, isn't Yuan Xi the same as the Son of Heaven?" Cao Pi was a little surprised.

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, "Do you think that if you don't give it, you won't be it?" The will of the imperial court could not enter the north during the Yuan Shao period, let alone now, this is just a clarification, which can be regarded as a sincerity of peace talks."

"Sikong Yingming, the most important thing now is to stabilize Yuan Xi, let him not attack Runan on impulse, our army needs to live too much, and seek to seize Yizhou Guanzhong, and as long as the Son of Heaven is still there, even King Yan can't ignore it at will" Xun Yu agreed.

"Wen Ruo, who are you going to send the envoy?" Cao Cao nodded and asked.

"My colleagues have discussed and decided to send an envoy by the counselor Wang Lang, who is important and serious, knows the number of etiquette, and has a lotus mouth, and has persuaded Sun Ce to let him go with a three-inch tongue, which shows his level and can take on this important task" Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, let Jingxing set off immediately, without delay"

"No!"

。。。。。。

A few days flashed by, and in the main hall of Sima Mansion in Xudu, I saw Yuan Xi sitting in the position of Cao Cao, and the civil and military forces stood in two rows.

After a while, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament, a dignified face, and a rigorous dress slowly walked in with a golden holy decree in his hand.

"Counsel the doctor Wang Lang to meet the general, in the official title of the Son of Heaven, Sikong order, come to read the holy decree, and at the same time discuss the matter of peace talks between the two sides" Wang Lang bowed to Yuan Xi.

"Haha, do you need Xi to kneel" Hearing this, Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

Wen Chou, Hu Niu'er, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and other fierce generals immediately looked at the past with murderous eyes, and even Zhao Yun had a chill in his eyes, what kind of son of heaven, isn't it Cao Cao, Cao Cao's holy decree, how can he be qualified to make Yuan Xi kneel.

"The general is polite, after the fourth and third princes of the general, he has been guarding the north, resisting foreigners, and making countless feats, so there is no need to be polite at all" Wang Lang said immediately

Yuan Xi nodded slightly and said, "Then you can read it!" Xi wants to see what Cao Sikong asked the Son of Heaven to give me."

Zhong Wenwu immediately laughed, Wang Lang's face froze, but he didn't say anything, opened the holy decree, and immediately read it aloud, in front of it was a large piece of empty words, nothing more than that he and his father had more credit than the sky, loyal to the Han, and then it was the right word.

"Canonize the general as the king of Yan, add nine tin, put a hundred officials, and all things in the north are especially handled, and there is no need to report to the court for the record"

When Yuan Xi's civil and military officers heard this, many of them immediately became excited, the lord was actually crowned king, this is the first throne that the Son of Heaven personally canonized after the Liu family cannot be called the king ancestral system, and it is not a concept at all from the kind of person who dared to ascend to the throne.

Yuan Xi waved his hand lightly, and Hu Niu'er stepped forward to take the holy decree, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Yuan Xi stood up, saluted in the direction of Runan, and said in a loud voice: "Xi feels the grace of the Son of Heaven"

Since Cao Cao dares to give, he dares to take it, he has the four continents in the north, and he is not afraid of any gossip at all, although this throne is a false title, but it can indeed make the north completely claim to be one, not only get rid of Cao Cao's court, but more importantly, it can make the north from the rule of Yuan Shao, completely become the era of Yuan Xi, the king of Yan, this significance is extraordinary, Li Ru has guessed this aspect last night, let Yuan Xi must take it.

After Yuan Xi sat down again, Wenwu immediately stood up, and said in a loud voice with excitement on his face: "Meet the king"

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly and waved his hand lightly, "You don't have to be polite, Xi"

Speaking of this, Li Ru suddenly had a hint in his eyes.

"Oh! Although Gu was canonized as the King of Yan, he still had to be loyal to the country, and he should continue to work hard" Yuan Xi immediately changed his title.

"No!"

"Wang Lang greets His Royal Highness King Yan," Wang Lang saluted again.

"Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, this time you have worked hard, but Lone also knows that you are not here for this, and Lone does not follow Rao, just one condition, if Cao Sikong agrees, Xi is willing to sign a contract, lead the troops back, and even return Xu Du to him" Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please speak," Wang Lang immediately said excitedly.

"You go back and tell Cao Sikong, Lone wants Jia Wenhe, if he gives it, within five years, Lone will never go south to the Central Plains, if he doesn't give it, everything will be wasted, this throne, Lone is not rare" Yuan Xi said seriously.

"Master Jia" Wang Lang was startled, and hurriedly prepared to say something, but Yuan Xi was close to waving his hand to stop it, and his eyes became cold: "Gu knows that you are very eloquent, but this is the bottom line, without this, don't talk nonsense"

"This" Wang Lang hesitated, it knew that although Lord Jia did not occupy a high position, he was indeed a confidant!

"Lord Wang, the king doesn't want Xun Lingjun, but just a Jia Wenhe, if you don't want to, then it shows the sincerity of your fundamental peace talks, our military order can be turmoil in the north, and we must also wave troops to Runan" Pang Tong immediately stood up, his tone was full of this murderous intent.

Wang Lang suddenly sighed and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, can you let the lower officials write back and ask?"

"Yes, of course you can, come here, take Lord Wang down to have a good rest," Yuan Xi commanded.

"No!"

After Wang Lang left, Yuan Ping immediately stood up and wondered: "Brother Wang, why is there only one Jia Wenhe?"

"Just one, haha! One Jia Wen and enough to be worth a million male masters" Yuan Xi laughed, so that the two great poisoners in the troubled times were all gathered, and who else could stop him in the future.
